March 13,1902 THE NEBRASKA INDEPENDENT. Champ Clark's Letter Special Washington Letter. i HE saddest thing that has hap pened in this world since that illustrious MIssourian Mark Twain shed briny and copious tears at the tomb of Adam was the seating of the foreign dip lomatic representatives near our im perial court behind the supreme court judges at the McKinley memorial serv ices. This most calamitous situation grew out of the unfortunate fact that those illustrious courtiers, Senator Jo soph Benson Foraker and General Charles Henry Grosvenor, both of Ohio, who as chairmen of the senate and house committees were charged with getting up the programme and with making the arrangements, were not au fait as tof their duties in matters of Imperial etiquette. In extenuation of their grievous fault it may be pleaded that these two able and ambitious Buckeye statesmen are new to the im perial business. They are courtiers in the raw, so to speak, but they are as siduous students of the new school, and it may be confidently predicted that, as they are quick to learn, after a suffi cient time they will be able to give pointers in imperial etiquette even to the bedizened and bespangled repre sentatives of the effete monarchies of Europe. It is said that Lord Pattncefote, the British embassador and dean of the diplomatic corps, has formally expostu lated with Mr. Secretary of State Uay as to the indignity placed upon him and his high and mighty confreres and that an entire hour was consumed in consideration of the expostulation. While it is not given to ordinary mor tals to know what was said by those two imperialists It may be naturally assumed that Colonel Hay rubbed much salve upon the burning wounds of the wrathful Englishman. It is to be sin cerely hoped that this awkward inci dent will not precipitate a war between us and all the nations of Europe com bined. It is a humiliating idea to think of our Uncle Sam falling on his knees L cfore the Europeans and exclaiming, "Peccavi, peccavi!" But since we have become Imperialists and aspire to stand well with other Imperialists it may be necessary for our uncle to perform that un-American caper. It will be remembered by those who take any interest in the history of our early days that when Thomas Jeffer son was president he, for some reason known to himself alone, took Mrs. Dolly Madison, wife of his secretary of state, out to dinner instead of leading out ?.Irs. Merry, wife of the British embassador, which precipitated diplo matic complications of a most laugh able sort, ending in Secretary of State Mndison requesting that Mr. Merry be recalled, which was done". Jefferson's conduct on that occasion gave the cue to all the American imperialists to abuwe him and calumniate him and to hold him up as an awful example of bad manners; but then it must be re membered that Thomas Jefferson was an untutored Democrat, who hated royaiiy a::d all its works even as the devil hates holy water. He was not an imperialist, as are Colonel Hay, Sen ator Foraker and General Grosvenor. Jefferson, therefore, may be excused for violating imperial etiquette on grounds of ignorance. Even Foraker and Grosvenor may plead Ignorance on this occasion, but the foreign imperial ists will hardly forgive them for a sec ond olTense of this nature. Morgan and Hanna. There is a contest on In the senate which is of more than passing interest to philosophers and psychologists. It is between that illustrious Democrat, Senator John T. Morgan of Alabama, a great lawyer, and that conspicuous Re publican, Senator Marcus A. Hanna, who is not a lawyer, but who ranks very high as a business man. The bone of contention is the route of the isth mian canal. Morgan champions Nica ragua and Hanna champions Panama. Of course others will take a hand in the shindv, but it is universally con ceded that Morgan and Hanna are the leaders in the fight. It is shrewd, hard beaded business capacity against learning, forensic ability and profes sional training. The contest will at tract breathless interest. Morgan per haps knows more than any other living man, but Mark is a fighter from away back. Let Them Squabble. Democrats may well take heart from the quarrels of the Republicans. On the surface things are placid as a duck pond, but beneath the surface there are storms and disturbances of all gorts. Representatives of agricultural constituencies in the great and gor geous northwest are becoming alarmed A as to their re-election and are voicing their alarm in Republican caucuses, of which there have been more held this session, though it is only three months old, than in any session in the last ten years. The beet sugar men, the cane sugar men and several other sorts of men are at each other's throats on the Cuban question. The reciprocity advo cates and the antireciprocity sbouters are wooling each other. The feeling is growing exceedingly heated, not to eay bitter, and is liable, indeed quite likely, to burst into a consuming flame at any moment. The quicker the bet ter for the country and the cause of good government! Hats off to ex-Governor James S Hogg of Texas as he passes by! He Is an American worthy of his birth right. While In London, looking after the interests of his oil company, ar rangements were made by our embas sador, Joseph H. Choate, to present the big Texan at court, but when Hogg learned that in order to be presented to the king he had to tog himself up with knee breeches, sword and other royal paraphernalia he flatly refused. Now, if there Is any American living who has a right to be proud of his calves it is Hogg. They are large, ro tund, amazing. If he had donned knee breeches, he would not have been com pelled to hart? his calves padded, as, it is said, Mr. Whltelaw Reid has done. Nay, not so. Without any artificial aids or adjuncts he would have exhib ited such a gorgeous pair of calves to the astonished eyes of the British beef eaters as has not been seen at St. James since the days of Dickens' fat j boy. Hogg is indeed royally, even su-! perfluously, endowed with calves. But he would not don knee breeches and long stockings even at the suggestion of Joe Choate. Great is Hogg! May his tribe increase! Nothing so refreshing has happened since that other eminent American re fused to remove his hat from his nog gin in the presence of Albert Edward, prince of Wales, saying, "I am as dis tinguished in my profession as the Prince of Wales is in his," which, be ing said before his historic meeting with Pompadour Jim Corbett at New Orleans, was absolutely true. When a great foreign actress first gazed upon Daniel Webster, she turned to her male escort in an ecstasy of de light and exclaimed, "Thank heaven, I can now truly say that I have seen a man!" What her escort thought of that this deponent saith not. Had she lived to feast her eyes upon the towering form of James S. Hogg she could have truly said, "I have seen another man." Barring Unpleasant Remarks. The high handed methods of the Re publican majority in the house is fully illustrated by the following statement: More than a week's debate was allow ed on the oleomargarine bill when ev erything both for and against it could have been fully stated in two days. On the Philippine tariff bill, a measure of farreaching consequence, only two days debate was originally permitted. When it came back from the senate loaded down with amendments and Mr. Richardson, the Democratic lead er, asked for one hour in which the minority might briefly express its opin ion, it was denied him, and the Hon. Sereno E. Payne, chairman of the com mittee on ways and means and ex of ficio floor leader of the Republicans, with a smile that was childlike and bland, offered him thirty minutes, which Richardson contemptuously and scornfully refused. Then the minority in revenge forced the house to squan der twice as much time in roll calls as Richardson had demanded for debate, and it did right. Now, it may be asked, Why did the majority permit a week's debate on the oleomargarine bill and only two days on the Philip pine bill? Because it did not care what was said on the former and dreaded what might be said on the lat ter. Its plan is to amuse the house with talk on nonimportant matters and to railroad all important measures. Dinsmore of Arkansas. One of the ablest among the young southern Democrats in the house is Hugh A. Dinsmore of Arkansas, the ranking Democrat on the great commit tee of foreign affairs. Dinsmore was lucky when he came to congress nine years ago In being assigned to a com mittee whose duties are congenial to his tastes and in the line of his experi ence, ne had been minister to Korea and had borne himself so well in that station that the people of his district sent him to congress and have kef5t him there ever since. Able, faithful, suave, tactful, eloquent, in the very flower of his years, he is a tower of strength to our side of the house and is invariably in favor of all just and reasonable measures. Not long since, in a rather warm debate on the diplo matic and consular appropriation bill, he gave the following fine illustration of the average American's adaptability to any situation: "Some years ego a gentleman of West Virginia was selected to be consul at Nagasaki, Japan. He was a parvmu, so to speak, in consular matters. He had never been abroad; perhaps he had never been out of the confines of the state of West Virginia, unless it may have been to come to this capital or to go to New York. On arriving at Nagasaki he found it inconvenient to secure proper quarters for his con sulate. "He could not get a house in which to establish his office, but he found an American merchant doing business in Nagasaki, who said to him, 'You can have these rooms above my store.' So Mr. Birch, the gentleman of whom I am speaking, took the rooms above that store and hoisted his flag. He was immediately tabooed by the whole con sular fraternity there and by the com munity. Why? Because the English Idea of affairs obtained out there, and shopkeepers were not considered en tirely respectable people. Mr. Birch had set up his consulate in a shopkeep er's establishment. HiiiHniHiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiisiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii 1 IN MARCH AND APRIL 1 THE NORTHERN PACIFIC RY. 1 WILL SELL I 1 SETTLERS TICKETS I a AT VFPV row RATES. "On making application at that time to become a member of the Nagasaki club Mr. Birch was blackballed. He was not admitted to the club. But I take pleasure In saying that before John M. Birch had been in that port two years he was recognized as the best consul there and was president of the same club which had before black balled him for putting his flag over a shop." When we control the house again, as we probably will do in the next con gress, Dinsmore will be chairman of the committee on foreign affairs, which is always an important committee, sometimes the most important in the house, and he will do honor to the posi tion. Arkansas and the whole country can well afford to be proud of such men as Hugh A. Dinsmore. Consuls and the Merit System. In that same debate I set forth what I know to be my own position and what I believe to be the Democratic position as to civil service examina tions, as follows: "I want to say, speaking for myself and the entire Democratic party, that we are not opposed to a merit sys tem. I repeat that with emphasis, so that no idiot can go away from here and misconstrue it that the Demo cratic party Is not opposed to a merit system based on common sense. We are not opposed to a merit system, but we are opposed to life tenure in office. It is both undemocratic and un-American. I have an old fashioned idea that when the Republicans carry the elec tion in this country they have a right to the offices and when the Democrats carry it they have a right to them, and certainly Democrats do not carry it often enough to form the chronic habit of officeholdiiP.g. "I undertake to say, without the fear of successful contradiction, that it is a libel on American intelligence and on the public school system of this coun try, which we so proudly vaunt and which costs so much, to say that out of the 0,000,000 men who voted for William J. Bryan in 1900 you cannot find 200,000 fit to hold these appointive offices under the president of the Unit ed States, and it is a greater libel, sim ply because there were more of them and not because they were more intelli gent, to say that out of the 7,000,000 Republicans who voted for William McKinley you cannot find 200,000 fit to hold these offices. "I say this, that when the Democrats are in power, if you would have a rule that the appointees should be Demo crats, and then that they should be thoroughly examined, that would be all right, and the same way when the Republicans are in power, but here is the objection in this consular business to the civil service reform examination as now conducted. "They do not ascertain a man's fit ness to be a consul, because the exam inations are not about things which a consul ought to know in order to ren der the best service. "I stated on the floor of this house once, and I repeat it now, that, in my judgment, notwithstanding there are over 200 college graduates in this house and a proportional number in the sen ate, there are not thirty men in both houses who could stand an examina tion for a $900 clerkship over here in one of the departments. Why is that true? I will tell you. It is true be cause the men who are fit to sit in the congress of the United States have for gotten the things that they are exam ined on in these examinations over there. That is the truth about it. "Men are fit to serve In house and senate not because they have forgotten certain things, but because they have learned more important things. The latter things crowd the former out of their minds. To undertake to examine men for consular positions in one of the civil service examinations as now conducted will end In this that you will get a lot of men just out of school who know nothing about business, while business knowledge is the most necessary qualification for consul, as it is a purely business office. Napo leon picked his marshals by the shape of their noses. I undertake to say that there is not a man on this floor who cannot go into his own district and pick the men who are fit to be consuls anywhere by their business capacity, because he knows them and under stands what they are good for. Natu ral pride would compel him to select the most competent." Senatorial Fight In Illinois. The chances are first rate for the Democrats to elect a senator of the United States from Illinois to succeed William E. Mason, a consummation devoutly to be wished. Mason, Hop-' kins, "Uncle Shelby" M. Cullom, young Governor Dick Yates and other Repub lican bigwigs are carrying on a Kil kenny cat fight which ought to redound to the good of the Democrats. In the meantime Mr. Dawes, who was sup posed to be a sure winner, appears to have fallen into innocuous desuetude and to have gone to the bottom of the sea after the fashion of Mr. McGinty. Dawes had a good job in one of the de partments, but concluded that he was of senatorial stature; so Brother Dawes resigned early last summer and has been prancing around over the prai ries of Suckerdom ever since In a vain search for a senatorial toga. He is in the fix of the dog that dropped a real bone to snatch at a shadowy bone" which he saw in the water. Wonder if Br'er Dawes ever read iEsop? The Portrait.

I have been afflicted with Nervous Prostration, Liver and Kidney Trouble for about sixteen years and Piles for twenty years, so bad that 1 had to give up my church work. After using Vitae-Ore four days my Piles dls- appeared and the bleeding ceased. I continued its use about four months and today my Nervous Prostration, Kidney and Liver Trouble are all gone, and there has not been a day since that the Piles have prevented me from riding horse back. I owe all this to Vitae-Ore. Rv. T. H. Smith. Alexandria, Ind. I have used Vitae-Ore with very satisfactory results, and also know a number of people who derived great benefit from its use. I can most cheerfully recommend; it to the afflicted. Ee v. S. O. IIcmhil, Pastor Chris tian Church. Hon, Wis. I have been using Vitne-Ore for some time. It is working re markably well and I am feeling stronger than ever. Up to this time I have been doctoring with a renowned specialist and have spent much money, but it seems that your medicine must be given first place. Rev. J. Wow. Nbw Wihdsob, Ii-u I have "been nsing a package of Vitae-Ore with con siderable profit to myself and am well satisfied with the improvement of my health. You certainly have a very valuable medicine in your V.-O. Tonic. I wish all weak men ana women could be brought to know of its value to them as a restorer. Royal J. Kellogg, Cong. Minister. Holtok, Kaw. For three or four months before using Vitae-Ore, I suffered constantly with severe pain through the main part of my body and small of my back so that I could not turn in bed without first sitting up, which I believe was caused by Kidney and Liver trouble. A few days after I began using Vitae-Ore these pains all left and have not returned. I was also troubled with extreme drowsiness as night came on, and Bowel trouble which Vitae-Ore entirely re moved. It is a splendid remedy to build up and give new energy and life to the human body. I shall ever speak a good word for Vitae-Ore. Rv. M. T. Ho can. Oattjcos, Cal. I determined to give Vitae-Ore a trial, and inside of two weeks found that Vitae-Ore was doing vastly more for my Prostates than the three special and best specifics known f or that trouble had done in three weeks use of them. I found my appetite, stomach and general health vastly improved and all pain practically gone and have found myself growing steadily better all the time. - People on the street say, "How well you look" and I immediately tell them about the wonderful Vitae-Ore. Riv. Isaac Baird. Highshibc. Pa. Having been broken down in health and unable to attend my duties, Vitae-Ore was recommended to me, and after taking It as per directions for one week, I was enabled to continue my work preaching for three weeks, and made during the day many pastoral calls, for which I give V.-O. the credit It has helped me many times since. I therefore recommend it to others as a valuable medicine. A. L. Shannobt, Pastor Uighspire U. B. Church. RtTSTON, La. I have taken your Vitae-Ore for about month, and find that it has done me more good than anything I have ever taken for Liver and Kidney trouble. Rev. 0. 11. Wilso.
