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 After considerable discussion the amendment was withdrawn and the bill passed.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. BILL ARP’S LETTER Bartow Man is Hot in Collar Over Remarks of Roosevelt.

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.” « "■ %: r V .\;-V 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.
