THE CLAYTON TRIBUNE.
THERE IS NO PAPER LIKE THE IlOME PAPER TO HOME PEOPLE.
VOX, V.
CLAYTON, RABUN COUNTY, GA.. THURSDAY. MAY 15. 1902,
NO. 17.
BAILY OBJECTS TO
EMBASSY EXPENSES
Texan Says the President
Exceeded Authority.
IT IS WRONG TO HONOR KING
Policy of American People Forbid
“Slobbering” Over Foreign
fionarchs and Puppets.
STRIKE IHPROBABLE.
A Washington special says: A lively
debate occurred In the senate Satur
day upon an amendment to the army
..appropriation bill offered by Mr. Bally
,ofj Texas, providing that no part of the
.impropriation made by the measure
«liould be used in defraying the ex
penses of the special embassy to the
coronation of King Edward VII of Eng
land. After considerable discussion
the amendment was withdrawn and
the bill passed.
Subsequently Mr. Bailey offered a
resolution which will be considered
later, covering the point of his amend
ment. Mr. Bailey's resolution fol
lows:
"That it is contrary to the policy of
the United States to accredit to any
foreign government any embassador,
minister of other diplomatic officer 0£
agent to especially represent the
United States at the coronation of any
hereditary prince or potentate.”
“That no power exists in the pres
ident of the United States to appoint
any embassador or agent and accredit
him as the representative of the
United States to any government ex
cept by and with the advice and con-
. sent of the senate, as prescribed in
section 2, article 1, of the constitution
of the United States.”
“If,” said Mr. Bailey, in discussing
his amendment, “we are to send a
special embassy to the coronation of
this monarch in Great Britain, we must
hereafter send an embassy to the coro-
ation of every monarch or else give
an effront to the nation concerned.
“If it be true that we have sent
embassadors to the coronation of Eu
ropean rulers, I ask jf special embas
sies have ever been sent to the inau
guration of the president of the United
States? Are they entitled at our hauds
to what they do not give to us?
“What 1 protest against," said the
Texas senator, “is this: That the great
est republic in the world shall perform
for a monarchy, wiiat monarchies do
not perform for us.”
He said that, of course, if represen
tatives of this government were to be
sent to a cornation they ought not
to pay their own expenses.
It was pointed out by Mr. Lodge that
the power of the president to send
a special agent was established thor
oughly by practice. It was dear that
he had such authority.
Mr. Money, of Mlaslsilppl, protested
against the sending of a special em
bassy to the coronation of any king
or potentate, not approving of having
a representative of the United States
cool his heels in the corridors of any
monarchy. He thought It entirely
unnecessary to appoint an extraordi
nary embassador In this instance when
the United States already had an am
bassador accredited to Great'Britain.
Mr. Hoar said he sympathised with
the statement that the United States
should not pay a tribute to any nation
which that.uatlon did not pay to us.
Mr. Bailey explained that he was op
posed to the assumption by the pres
ident that he had, authority to appoint
-. ambassadors to any country without
the consent of the senate.
Miners Seem Willing to Have
Their Troubles Adjusted
By Arbitration.
A Scranton, Pa., special says: The
executive committee of the three dis
tricts of the anthracite coal field, rep
resenting all of the members of the
United Mine Workers in that territory,
resumed its secret conference soon af
ter 9 o’clock Thursday morning.
There is much apprehension in busi
ness circles all over the anthracite re
gion regarding the action of the meet
ing.
Many officials of the Miners’ union
are working to prevent the declaration
of a strike.
There is much speculation as to
what will be the action of the union
should it decide that drastic methods
are necessary.
Granted that no concessions will be
made to the men, the miners’ officials
have only two moves to make unless
they declare for or against a strike.
They may call another convention,
fresh! from the rank and file, to decide
the matter, or they may send commit
tees of employes to the different coal
operators to ask for concessions. Some
of the company officials are said to fa
vor the latter plan as a way out for
both sides.
At 10:20 the executive committee
took recess until 1:30 o’clock in the
afternoon.
President Mitchell has issued the fol
lowing statement:
“The executive committees of the
Anthracite Mine Workers’ organiza
tion have proposed that all questions
at Issue between themselves and An
thracite coal mine operators bo sub
mitted to an Impartial board of arbi
tration, such board to be selected by
the industrial branch of the national
civic federation. This proposition has
been submitted to the operators by
wire.”
The statement was issued by Presi
dent Mitchell, after he had been in
communication by long distance tele
phone with unknown persons. He also
received numerous telegrams.
During the recess, Mr. Mitchell said
the committees were awaiting replies
to the proposition embodied in his
statement. '
It is believed that a means of
settling the question involved without
resorting to a strike has been arrived
at.

Secretary Root Approve* Tactic* of
General* Smith and llell.
Secretary Root Wednesday submit
ted to .the senate an answer to the
resolution of May 1 calling for copies
of any orders issued by General Bell
relative to reconcentration in Batan-
gas, and of the orders Issued by Gen
eral Smith to Major Waller set up by
the latter in his defense before the
courtmartlal. The secretary also was
asked to state whether these orders
were approved by General Chaffee or
by the war department, when they
wero known to the department, when
countermanded.
In reply the secretary submits two
-orders by General Bell, dated Decem
ber 8 and 9 last. In the first General
Bell recounts In detail the provocations
submitted to for three* years by the
United States government In the Phil
ippines. He refers to the treachery of
the natives, to their use of Infernal ma
chines, and to their constant violation
of all the rules of civilized warfare.
Therefore, he declares that he la re
luctantly obliged to avail himself nf
the right of retaliation under the regu
lations, apd. to deal severely with per
sons who commit the net denounce#'ta
General Order 100, and whenever un
armed prisoners or defenseless Ameri
cans or friendly native» are murdered
for political purposes, lie will execute
a prisoner of war, chosen by lot,’from
the town where th$ murder occurred.
The secretary explains that the or
der referred to waa approved by Abra
ham Lincoln, and that tbe ordeVs men-
“Once more into the breach, good
friends—once more." I would be
to know about what time President
Roosevelt is going to retract what ho
wrote about President Davis. It has
now been proren by the official rec
ords at Jacksobj Miss., thaf'Mr. Davis
was never governor, nor was he ever
a member of the legislature of that
State, and in i public address made
after the act of repudiation, he de
clared that he was opposed to it and
the debt ought to be paid, and this am
ateur historian denounces him in his
hook as an arch traitor and repudia-
tor. Mr. Davis fought in Mexico for
the honor of th’e flag; won the victory
at Buena Vista; was desperately
wounded, and for five years walked
with crutches;' mafried General Tay
lor’s daughter for his first wife and
didn’t run awi.y with her either; was
secretary of war under Franklin
Pierce, remodeled ’ the curriculum at
West Point anil;. jit stands to-day as he
j framed it; was|a mender of the
United State};-his state
seceded and, like General Lee, lie went
with his people. He did not seek the
presidency cf the confederacy and in
sisted that another be chosen. Now
all this has long since been estab
lished and if Mr. Roosevelt did not
know it, he could have known it. He
certainly knows it now, and if he is a
gentleman hfe will retract it and apol
ogize to -Mrs. Davis and the family
and to tbe sainted shade of Miss Win
nie and to the people of the south.
He called him an arch traitor and
compared him to Benedict Arnold and
the slanderous libel is in print in a
book of so-called history and has poi
soned the minds of all the fools, fa
natics and Idiots who have tead it.
When is he going to retract?
The International Cyclopedia, edit
ed by distinguished professors of Co
lumbia University and Dartmouth Cob
lege, says of Mr. Davis: “He was a
ripe scholar, a vigorous writer, a
splendid orator, a brave soldier, a true
gentleman, an accomplished states
man, a Bturdy champion, a proud true
patriot, a lover of liberty, a Christian
hero—this is the Jefferson-Davis that
history will cherish.” General Lee
was his bosom friend and c,onfldant,
and yet this so-called historian, this
rough rider and bear hunter, praises
Lee while he defames his friend, a
man infinitely his superior in every
moral attribute and every nobie emo
tion. But maybe he will retract and
apologize, though Tom Moore says:
"But faith, fanatic faith, once wedded
fast
To Some dear falsehood hugs it to the
last" 1
Uoned In the resolution, and In Bell’*
order of December IS, were in strict
conformity with tta* letter anil spirit
of this famous order, which, he Says,
“was a contribution to civilization of
great and recognized value.” «

He had- better retract, for some of
our old soldiers are very mad about
it. They are talking about suing
him for elandcr and garnlsheelng the
government for his salary. Killing
bears.ln the wilderness won’t save him
nor will that little brush we had In
Cuba. That, Is perhaps the biggest
little war we have ever had and every
sznalI*t>oimcMro and stump orator who
wants an office jumps Up and eays
wears all bptthers now. We fit and
we.fput And Wed together at San Juan
and Santiago and then we crossed the
wldn ocean to whip out some niggers
and we will soon all be on the pension
roll. An old'veteran said to me, “That
little Spanish war reminds me of the
fellow who vu drowned at Johns
town, and when fce knocked at the
gate St. Peter didn’t recognlig him
and refused to let him In. , ‘Why. my
dear sir,’ said, bto, “I «a tone cf the
Johnstown drowned
In that’ saint re
lented and leMg|l£j^' , He wandered
things and after a while came across
an old man and said, ‘Good morning,
old gentleman; glad to see you. Been
here a long time, I reckon?’ The old
man said nothing. 'F am one of the
Johnstown sufferers. I was drowned
in that great flood.’ The old man did
not reply, but turned and walked slow
ly away. So the fellow went to St.
Peter and asked who that old man
was. He would not speak to me,’ said
he, ‘though I told him I was in the
great flood a Johnstown.’ And St.
Peter replied, ‘That old man, sir, 1b
Noah and he had a flood of his own
to think about.’ ”
And now we read that all the hor
rors of our civil war are being repeat
ed In the Philippines. In our war It
was the white yankee who made war
hell for us, but now they are making
it hell for the negroes In the Philip
pines. We are trying to smother what
our people suffered, but they won't let
us, and now boast that General Sher
man found it the best way to shorten
the war. No, we old men and women
can’t forget, and I hope that our chil
dren and grandchildren will learn it
all In some southern history. The civ
ilized world has not forgotten Herod
nor Nero nor the duke of Alva nor the
massacre of St. Bartholomew where
30,000 Protestants were butchered In
a night. But when will Teddy repent,
retract and apologize? He has got to
do It sooner or later or go down in his
tory as a malicious defamer of one
whose shoes he was not worthy to un
loose. He and ^liles will get together
some time and some where. Now,
why does-not Teddy consider the feel
ings of our people in his appointments
to southern offices? Why did he not
give Savannah a.white man for. a col
lector? Appointments of negroes to
be postmasters and revenue collectors
ar^ an insult to .us, and he knows It.
ii lie nas such affectionate regard for
those negroes why not give them a
place at Washington or Albany or
Boston or a consulship at Hayti or
San Domingo?
These offices are the dearest of all
to our people. The postofflee is our
trysting place, a kind of Mecca, and
the postmaster our confidant. That
officer should above all others be ac
ceptable to the majority of the people.
The collector has the command of a
city In his hands and under his con
trol, and that commerce is all white—
none of It comes from the negro race.
What excuse can he give for such
appointments? None, and when is he
going to retract and apologize for that
slander, of Mr. Davis? Echo answers,
when?—Bill Arp, In Atlauta Consti
tution.

The feature of the second day’s ses
sion of the Methodist Episcopal
church conference at Dallas was the
report of the book committee and the
statement of the book agents, Messrs.
Barbee and Smith, of Nashville, Tenn.,
on the noted war claim matter. This
report embraced nearly 3,000 words,
and was read in'the conference, ’rtie
report reiterates an£ emphasizes the
exoneration of Messrs. Barbee and
Smith and E. B. Stahlman that was
made by the committee nearly four
years ago. General applause greeted
the reading of the report and It is
thought that a majority of the dele
gates agree with the bool; committee
that the subject has already been dis
cussed beyond its merits and should be
dropped forever.

The recent census of Ireland shows s

been attributed to tlielr recent (amine, caus
