JCatalogue for out-of-town folks writing for it. 23TMention, this paper when ordering goods
port it But not even the socialists
themselves would support it, because
they want not only all railroad prop
erty for the government, but all other
kinds of property from which an in
come in the shape of rent, interest or
dividends is derived. Those who are
not socialists would not support it,
because they would not consent to tax
ing railioad property more than any
other hind of property. The result is,
that It is impracticable for the people
or government to own the railroads
through the taxing power.
But if socialism is weak politically,
It Is strong morally. Says Mr. Vail
s and he speaks in the lofty tone as the
others of the same school: "The spir
it of socialism is fraternal and Its aim
Is to realize the brotherhood of man
In all the relations of life. It recog
nizes the solidarity of the human race
and would surround men with an eco
nomic and social environment that
would administer to that ideal. . .
Our present competitive system is one
of antagonism, in which the Interests
of every man are set against the inter
ests of every other man. . . . There is
scarcely a field today where selfish in
terests, begotten by a selfish system
do not dominate. . . . Socialism would
make the Interests of one ' identical
with the Interests of all. It would
realize the solidarity of humanity. The
unity of mankind can only be realized
by this unity of human interests.
When society Is thus organized, that
, which Is advantageous to one would
. be advantageous to all." Under such a
system the evil of selfishness would
be plucked up by the roots: both mo
tive and opportunity would be elimi
nated. Socialism would thus realize
the brotherhood of man and reduce
the Golden Rule to practice. . . .
Should the Intellectually strong and
cunning be allowed to prey upon the
weak and innocent? Are we not all
brothers? What would you say if a
family where the strongest brother
was allowed to appropriate all the
nutritious food and leave only the
poorest, and but a small quantity of
that, for his weaker brothers and sis
ters? This is the method of our na
tional family. It destroys the sense
of human brotherhood and negatives
the higher feelings and sympathies."
Socialism furnishes much food for
reflection. JNO. S. DE HART.

Th Str.nuout Two for President nd Vice
President In 1904 Monster Pob-
Ho Welcome Soon to be
Pulled Off.
Washington, D. C, June 25, 1902.
(Special Correspondence.) But for
one circumstance, the capital city
would today wear a funereal aspect
As it is, there is joy written plainly on
every countenance. Men stop each
other on the streets and, shaking
bands, simultaneously ask, "Have you
heard the news?" Then both reply.
"Yes; great, Isn't it?" Flags have beeu
flying over both ends of the capltol and
even in the middle, on all the depart
ment buildings and the White house,
while as your correspondent file3 his
message of good tidings of great joy
to the people of Nebraska and the na
tion, the jubilant strains of the mann-i
band at the east front of the capltol
are heard blending in one great paean
of exultation. At the executive man
sion things which for a week were
gloomy over the failure of the Roose
veltian reciprocity now appear cheer-
ful.
Your correspondent has it that the
cause of all this jubilation is the an
nouncement that at a recent meeting
of republican leaders, it was unani
mously decided that Senator Dietrich
should be the nominee of his party for
the vice presidency in 1904. The pro
position to place him on the ticket
with Roosevelt . was received with
tumultuous cheering and upon roll caH
not a single dissenting vote was re
corded. After the meeting had de
cided upon Dietrich, some one sug
gested that it would be but a matter of
- simple courtesy to ask the president
if the choice suited him. A member
of the party immediately telephoned
the White house. Teddy himself an
swered the message. "Am I satisfied?
he shouted so loudly that all in the
room could hear himr.r"Am I satis
fied? Why, gentlemen you have done
just what I was going to suggest a lit
tle later on. In fact, gentlemen. I
would not run with any one else on the
ticket. He's my kind he's strenuous."
Here the president rang oft to conceal
his emotion.
The next day the president was so
elated that he ordered two boxes of
strawberries for dlnnet and told Cor
telvou to have the bSgy greased so
he could drive around tj the Cairo and
thank the senator In person for his
devotion to public welfare in consent
ing to run for vico president two
years hence. It is understood that the
hotel manager has given strict orders
to have clean sheets and pillow slip3
put on the senator's bed and told the
chef to omit mashed potatoes from
the bill of fare until Sunday week.
Senator Hanna was wearing a par
ticularly radiant smile when he told
the newspaper correspondent that "it
is the best thing that ever happened.
It will place a parliamentarian with a
record in the chair. Besides it was a
good political move. We will now poll
every doubtful vote in the country. I
am too full for utterance."
It is now understood to be the pur
pose of Washingtonians to publicly
receive Senator Dietrich with all tho
honors of his rank. A monster public
demonstration will- take place in the
rotunda of the capitol. As soon as his
carriage leaves the stable for the
Cairo hotel, the big guns at the navy
yard will begin firing a salute. One
gun for each criminal pardoned while
the senator was governor of Nebraska
will be the number. Some time dur
ing the exercises the president will
recommend that , the photographs rf
the members of the legislature who
selected Senator Dietrich be placed in
the hall of fame. This duty has been
contemplated, for many weeks and it
is thought this will be a fitting time
for the performance of that grave
duty. The senate and house have de
cided to adjourn at p. m., and no
cases will be heard In the supreme
court after that hour,' in order that all
may have an opportunity to greet the
great statesman. All business will e
suspended in the city for one hour be
fore the parade. . Senator Hanna will
be chairman of the reception commit
tee. The exercises at the Cairo will
be simple, but impressive. The fol
lowing is the, program:
Arrival at the, hotel of the carriage
(with a colored coachman on the box).
Stopping of the carriage.
Walking of Senator Dietrich from
the hotel door to the carriage.
Greeting by the glad throng.
Triumphal embarkation of Senator
Dietrich in the carriage, while the rJ.
S. marine band plays "Hail to the
Chief."
The parade will form on Q street,
northwest, right resting on the side
walk. The order of procession will be
as follows:
Grand Marshal Hanna.
Transparency, "This is Him."
The marine band.
The marines.
Senator Dietrich and Theodore
Roosevelt in a wagon.
Transparency, "We don't know why
we love you, but we do, do, do."
The senate, on foot.
Transparency, "The country is now
safe."
The house, on foot. -
Transparency, "God reigns and the
government lives once more."
The supreme court.
The common herd.
The line of march will be on Q
street to Seventeenth street to Penn
sylvania avenue and then down Penn
sylvania avenue to the capitol, where
the parade will disband and multitudes
will be allowed to shake the senator's
hand. The senator will then return to
his hotel.
It is understood that all business in
the rerjate will now be pushed to early
completion In order that Senator Diet
rich may return home to Nebraska,
where the people are waiting so anx
iously to see him and join in the con
gratulations now pouring in upon him
on every hand.

CIVIL SERVICE
Congressman Shallenberr Comments on
the Discharge of Bebrcca Taylor
in e Stirring; Speech In
the House.
On Wednesday, June 18, during the
debate on the deficiency appropriation
bill. Congressman Shallenberger de
livered speech appurtenant to the dig
charge of a lady clerk from the civil
service in the war department for the
expression of political opinions in the
press. He also took occasion to com
ment on the failure and refusal of the
war department to furnish informa
tion called for by congress. Mr. Shal
lenberger said:
Mr. Chairman, I wish to submit a
few remarks upon the subject of re
form in the civil service, and inciden
tally I may touch upon some other
matters which I think proper for the
consideration of congress at this par ticular
juncture. There are a number
of measures in the hands of the com
mittee on reform in the civil service
which, if passed, would have a ten
dency to materially promote the pro
tection of the rights of the veterans of
the civil war in the public service
bills that I believe ought to pass. But
so far the majority of that committee
have not seemed to be disposed to give
congress an opportunity to act upon
them, although I trust they will be
fore this session comes to a close.
I do not wish to pose as the special
champion of civil service reform in
this, house. I was appointed upon the
committee having charge of that espe
cial class of legislation without any
solicitation upon my part. I believe
that a certain responsibility rests
upon me, both as a member of the civil
service committee and of this house,
to inform congress of any infraction of
the laws or rules which might have a
tendency to destroy the discipline of
the public service in any department
of the governments '
I believe there has been a serious
violation of the letter and spirit of the
laws of the civil service in the sum
mary . dismissal of Miss Rebecca J.
Taylor from the classified service in
the war department, and I shall not be
deterred in what I shall say because
the principal actor in this assault upon
the integrity of the civil service is the
secretary of war, who, in my judg
ment, as the head of a great depart
ment, should have guarded it as the
very chiefest jewel in his treasury, or
because the immediate victim of its
violation is an example of American
womanhood dependent upon her own
labor for her support.
I make no pretense of being a civil
service reformer; in fact, I have but
little use for reformers in general,
but I am a believer in fair play; that
so long as the laws and rules of the
civil service remain in force and effect
they ought to be observed with abso
lute impartiality, and that the head of
a great department is as much subject
to the limitations which those laws and
rules prescribe for him as is the hum
blest woman in the employ of his de
partment. (Applause on the demo
cratic side.) I also believe that no mat
ter how exalted or how lowly the posi
tion -which we hold under the govern
ment, yet we are all its servants; that
from the highest to the lowest, wheth
er man or woman, we all stand equal
before the laws and before the rules.
None of us so high that we are above
tho control and regulation of the law,
and I hope no one so lowly as to be be
neath its protection and support. We
are all subject to free and open criti
cism of our actions and policies ant
the administration of our respective
duties. The civil service law was en
acted and the various rules upon that
subject were promulgated by different
presidents from Mr. Arthur down to
Mr. McKinley, because it was believed
to be in the interests of-the public
service to protect government em
ployes from unwarranted interference
for political advantage or partisan pur
poses, and especially to protect them
in unrestrained freedom of political
and religious thought and expression.
All the constructions of the courts,
the messages of the presidents, and
the reports of the commissioners from
time to time show this to be the caso.
In order to make the rights of the em
ployes under the civil service absolute
ly certain and secure against all possi
bility of doubt or misconstruction,
President McKinley, in 1896, promul
gated section 8 of rule 2, which ex
pressly declared that before a person
could be discharged by a department
chief, the employe was entitled to have

the reasons and cause for such dis
charge stated in writing, to have three
days to reply, and to have the rea
sons and cause for such discharge and
the reply made a part of the record.
That rule stands as the law today,
although on June 4 President Roose
velt approved a somewhat marvelous
modification of that rule, but the es
sential provisions which I have men
tioned were not repealed in the order
of June 4 and still remain In force and
effect. I believe that under President
McKinley's rule and the modifications
made in it by the rule approved by
President Roosevelt, and according u:
the evidence furnished by the war de
partment itself, Miss Taylor was il
legally discharged from the employ
ment of the government. What is the
history of this case?
On May 27 the secretary of war di
rected that Miss Taylor be asked if she
acknowledged the authorship of an ar
ticle criticising the political policy of
the administration in its conduct of
affairs in the Philippine Islands, and
her attention was invited to section 8.
civil service rule 2, stating that the
provisions of that rule provided that
she should have three days in which
to file her answer, but the provisions
of this rule also specifically state that
she is entitled to a written statement
of what the particular, charge alleged
against her consists. ,
In answer to this letter, which was
referred to her, she replied ,on May 23
that no statement of the cause, or rea
sons had been furnished in compliance
with the plain provisions of section 8
of rule 2 and therefore she had not
been furnished the conditions upon
which to base a statement; that when
this was done she would be glad to
avail herself of the privilege of reply
ing to the same. On May 29 the presi
dent approved a civil service order
which attempted to construe that por
tion of President McKinley's order re
ferring to cause or reasons of dis
missal and stating that nothing In the
rule should be construed so as to re
quire an examination or any trial or
hearing except in the discretion of tho
officer making the removal.
In fact, this order, which some have
thought was Issued to confound this
woman and to make possible her offi
cial decapitation without it being sub
jected to unseemly trial and considera
tion, only makes her position more
tenable, as It expressly construes what
President McKinley's rule only might
be construed by inference to mean
that political or religious expressions
are not just reasons for dismissal rxum
the classified civil service.
Why is this case so important? Be
cause it raises the question of just how
far one surrenders the right of ex
pression of religious or political opin
ions to the dictation of k officers in the
government whom political accidents
may have placed in . power. The dis
tinguished senator j from Ohio and
chairman of the republican national
committee is reported in the public
press as stating this question with his
usual terseness, boldness, and good
sense when, in commenting upon the
reported objection of a member of this
house to alleged interference of fed
eral employes in political affairs in the
city of Cleveland, O.X'he declared that
the question. was just;how far one sur
renders "his citizenship when he takes
employment in the- " service of the
United States. '
What privilege that you and I en
joy is to be denied to them? I know
it has been charged or Insinuated that
the president has taken especial in
terest in this case and attempted to
modify the rule so far as to deny to
this American woman some of the
rights or privileges, to which she was
entitled under President McKinley's
order, so that the manner of her tak
ing off might be more expeditious and
more certain, but; I cannot believe
that. I would have to change every
idea and opinion that I have formed of
our president if I was to believe it.
, From all I have read of him I have
always believed that he stood for the
honor and dignity 'of American man
hood, and especially that he was a rep
resentative of western courage and
western ideas. I know that he won
fame and fortune and the presidency
because he enlisted a regiment of west
ern plainsmen and gave to that regl
ment a name borrowed from the post
ers of a western showman "the con
gress of the rough riders of the
world;" that he rode into the oflice of
governor of New York as a rough
rider, and that western , votes and in
fluence nominated him for vice presi
dent at the Philadelphia convention;
and I believe that he must depend up
on western votes and Influence if he Is
nominated for the presidency in 1904.
But western men do not war upon
women. (Applause on the democratic
side.) ;
No man from the country where the
real rough riders ride would be guilty
of changing the rules of a game in orr
der to win the place or injure the re
putation! of a woman struggling to
honestly maintain herself. I do not
believe the president had in mind t!.e
case of Miss Taylor. when he approved
the rule to modify the order of Presi
dent McKinley. It is repuprnant to my
Ideas of American manhood. I believe
the president has been misinformed in
thl3 case, if brought to his attention at
all, and that when it is brought to
him in its true status he will order
that this woman shall have justice
done her and have every opportunity
to defend herself, for the very reason
that the charge against her is criti
cism of himself.
I will not believe that any subordi
nate in the war department whom, If
he should do so I should hope, for the
honor of American manhood and the
American army, that he should remain
forever nameless would be guilty of
attempting , to have? issued an order
that would deny any right to an Am
erican woman to which she was en
titled prior to the issuance of that or
der and while she was standing be
fore a great department of this gov
ernment asking for justice at its hands.
I haye only this much more to say
upon this subject: If the civil service
is to become, as members upon this
floor have frequently charged it with
being, a 1 plaything and football for
politicians for partisan advantage, we
ought to have the courage to strike
the whole thing from the statute
books and return to the old system of
piracy and plunder, and to the doctrine
that to the victor belongs the spoils,
or else do that thing which in mv
judgment It is our duty to this govern
ment to do, to enact a law so plain in
its provisions that he who runs may
read, and make it what President Mc
Kinley intended his order to be, a
bulwark and shield for defenseless men
and women in the employ of thai gov
ernment against political injustice
and oppression. (Applause.)
But, Mr. Chairman, while comment
ing upon the difficulty that I haye ex
perienced in this particular case in ob
taining information from the war de
partment, I will submit some remarks
upon the tardiness and reluctance
with which that department has fur
nished the legislative branch of this
government information for its guid
ance upon questions affecting the pub
lic welfare and to which we are justly
entitled as representatives of the peo
ple. You will remember that at the
commencement of this congress almost
the first bill reported to this house was
one to fix the tariff rates between the
United States and the Philippine lsl
ands.' The bill recommended and Indorsed
by the administration fixed the entire
Dingley rate of duty and was so passed
by this house, but no sooner was the
bill passed than we were informed that
the war department had in its posses
sion a recommendation from the Phil
ippine commission that the rates of
duty between this country and the
Philippines ought not to exceed F0 per
cent of the rates established by the
Dingley bill; and this house had .tin
humiliation of having that bill go over
to the senate to be there reduced In
part in compliance with that recom
mendation and returned to us, and we
swallowed it down with a consequent
loss of prestige and reputation of the
house of representatives with the coun
try. Again, in February last the head
of the army of the United States was
quoted in the public press as stating
that the war in the Philippine islands
was being conducted with unusual and
marked severity and cruelty. Did the
war department give congress and the
country any information upon this"
subject? No.
It was constantly quoted as denying
that there was any foundation for
these charges, and rumors were flying
thick and fast that the general of the
army was about to be retired because
of circulating such a report. Again
the senate of the United States inves
tigates the subject and brings to light
that order issued by a general in com
mand of our army in the island of Sa
mar which has brought the blush of
shame to every American that loves
the flag and the honor and glory of the
army that fights under it that order
to make a howling wilderness of that
fertile island, slay all above 10 years
of age and that order impelled
The Chairman. The time of the gen
tleman has expired.
Mr. Shallenberger. I ask five min
utes more to conclude my remarks.
The Chairman. The house has fixed
the limit of debate, and all the time
that now remains is under the control
of the gentleman from Illinois. Th
gentleman from Illinois has thirteen
minutes remaining.
Mr. Livingston. I ask unanimous
consent that the gentleman may have
leave to extend his remarks in the
Record.
Mr. Cannon. I will yield of tot
thirteen minutes five minutes to the
gentleman. (Loud applause.) "
Mr. Shallenberger. That order, Mr.
Chairman, I remember, when it was
published in the newspapers, impelled
the distinguished gentleman from the
great state of Pennsylvania to rise 1n
his seat in this house and denounce In
stronger language than I can use any
who might be responsible for it, and to
express the wish that 'the brave man
at the other end of the avenue in the
White house, should not permit Its au
thor to disgrace the uniform of hie
country -for twenty-f our hours ; but
the gentleman from Pennsylvania
should wish again, as I understand
that up to date that general still wear&
the colors of his country. (Applause.)
Again only a week or so ago this
house considered a request to the war
department asking information as t
the expenditures of Governor General
Wood, an officer of the United States
army, acting as governor general
through appointment by the executive
department a co-ordinate branch of
this government as to his conduct
and management of affairs in the
island of Cuba during our military
pecupation. To that request the war
atpartment made answer that this in
formation could serve no good pur
pose, that there was nothing to ttil,
and that it was only a matter of sal
ary, and that every expenditure of the
war department in the Island of Cuba
was entirely proper, and that we would
be furnished Information in good time.
Yet, what is the. spectacle presented
to the country? In just about a week
following thl3 answer, again the sen
ate, through an investigating com
mittee, brought to light the astonish
ing fact that the governor general of
Cuba, an appointee of the president of
the United States, responsible to the
war department and through it to the
people a man who has been highly
honored by this country and by con
gress, had taken over $8,000 of money
taxed from the pockets of the people of
Cuba and without their consent had
placed it in a jackpot along with other
thousands furnished by the American
sugar trust (applause) and put It in
the hands of a notorious promoter of
legislation in this. country to help in
driving through congress a bill which,
in the opinion of a majority of the
members of this house, was against the
best interests of the American people,
because a majority of them refused to
support the bill subject to the pur
poses for which' that money , was ex
pended, and yet they tell us that this Is
no Infringement by a co-ordinate
branch of this government upon; the
dignity and privileges Of this house;
that this action is perfectly proper if.
in the opinion of the war department
it is in the best interests of the peo
ple of Cuba.
Great heavens, Mr. Chairman, no
wonder the democrats of this housa
are only able to overthrow republican
leadership about once a week if t!e
administration is to have, or has had,
access to all the fund3 of the island of
Cuba in order to promote through this
house their Cuban legislation; and ac
cording to the same principles an 1
same practices, so far as we can know,
they have had all the funds of the in
sular department of the Philippines to
promote and drive through, this house
their Philippine legislation, if In the
opinion of the war department or the3e
military governors it is in the Interest
of the people of Cuba or the people
of the Philippines. (Applause on the
democratic side.) 4
Where, I ask, do the Interests of the
people of the United States come in
upon these questions? If there is any
thing that would make me believe the
hour of imperialism haa struck, it
would be because military satraps from
conquered colonies are to be permitted
to expend the gold taken from their
treasuries to promote legislation
through the house of representatives
of the United States and to have the
members of it sit silent and raise no
voice against it. (Applause on tfce
democratic side.) I have searched
through the history of our country and
can find no instance that parallels thii
in its assault upon the dignity and
freedom of the congress of the United
States. ' . , '
Mr. Chairman, political prophecies
are dangerous, but in my Judgment the
republican party has dug its political
grave in the islands of the sea, with
the war department as sexton in chief
in this dim funereal business. Re
publicans, the Cuban question lias al
ready split your party In twain, and
before you are through with it the
Philippine question will blow the
halves of your party so far apart that
after the next congressional election
you will not be able to even find the
pieces The American people are stu
dying these questions in a sober mood
today.
" The great heart of the nation is al
ways right; t always beats for liber
ty and ; for ' justice. Sometimes it
sleeps, and for a while the people may
lie supine beneath assaults upon the
dignity of their representatives, bu,t
they only bide their time. For when
again they shall arise in their ma
jesty and might, let those who would
despoil the honor and reputation of
this fair republic beware, for no power
on earth is more resistless, the ver"
lightning of heaven no more swift to
strike, no more sure in its aim, than
is the judgment and just condemna
tion of a great and free people when
once aroused. (Loud applause on tJie
democratic side.)
IS THE WAR OVER?
Six to JLopez Pats Secretary Root In a Very
Deep Hole-Is ttie Philippine Sedi- "
Hon Law In Force?
Sec'y Root's grandiloquent speech
at West Point enabled Sixto Lopez to
put Root in a very deep hole. The
Filipino was quick to take advantage
of the bragging of Root and he wrote
the secretary of war the following let
ter: ' : i . ...
"Sir: Your speech delivered yester
day at West Point contains what the
Filipinos will regard as the most. Im
portant utterance made, by you since
you assumed oflice. You therein de
clare, without any qualifying termn,
that the American army in the Philip
pines 'has put down an insurrection of
7,000,000 people, so that today peaco
reigns from the northernmost point of
Luzon to the southernmost island of
the southern archipelago.
"This official statement, coming as
it does from the source of military
authority, is at present of supreme im
portance to my countrymen, not only
because of Its admission that the war
has been with' 7,000,000 of Filipinos,
but because of Its direct bearing upon
section 10 of the Philippine sedition
law which reads:
"Until it has been officially pro.
claimed that a state of war or insurrec
tion against the authority or sover
eignty of the United States no longer
exists in the Philippine islands, it shall
be unlawful for any person to advocato
orally or by writing or printing or like
methods, the Independence of the Phil

"Your statement that there is uni
versal peace in the Islands makes nec
essary the formal proclamation that 'a
state of war or insurrection ... no
longer exists, thus removing section 10
from the statute book of the civil com
mission. Presumably instructions will
be given for the issuance of this proc
lamation, but on behalf of my fellow
countrymen who do not wish to re
main one day longer without thosa
elementary rights denied them under
section 10, I beg respectfully to ask
whether it is the intention to give
such instructions forthwith? Sincere
ly yours, (Signed) SIXTO LOPEZ.
