THE RENOMINATION OF ORUM- The New York Herald returns to 1 the ihe discussion nf the race ques tion with President R ) s veil after his recent letter. 1 \yill •’ r e-id with interest since Crum’s r ati.e has been again smtto tb s mate The Herald ridicules the president's pre tfiitim s. It shows that he has dodged the issue and refused to face the facts. In the Crum matter the Herald insists that the appointment is ob noxious to the people of Charleston and it has drawn expressions of disapproval from public men and newspapers. Mr. Roosevelt is specious in his plea that he “cannot treat color as a bar to office. ” The Herald overthrows thia empty argu ment by showing that Dr. Crum was evidently appointed because of his color. There was no lack of available white citizens ot greater worth and business qualifications in Charleston. The appointment of Crum was the result of a deliber ately planned policy of the presi dent. It was a piece of strenuous and uncanny tactics which he now regrets probably, but which he is obliged to defend. President Roosevelt wants to know why “ther appointment of a colored collector at Charleston should cause more excitement than the appointment of a colored col lector at Savannah? President Roosevelt forgets that the appoint ment of Deveaux at Savannah aroused a vigorous protest from the business boaies of that city. A large meeting was called and a resolution was adopted. The reso lution was presented by Senator Clay to the white house, but did no good. The president was de termined to appoint him. The claims of white men ot undoubted business standing and character were presented to the president. The matter was laid before him in the strongest way, but the people who went to Washington to talk against the confirmation of Deveaux were ruthlessly turned down. The president took refuge behind a bill of the legislature which had placed Deveaux upon the retired list. This was a subterfuge. He used as a shelter a device of routine legisla tion to defend an action which he had already decided upon. President Roosevelt claims to be following in the footsteps of Mr. McKinley. The Herald shows, however, that Mr. McKinley never was guilty in forcing undesirable men upon communities. He did not obstinately insist in forcing an ob noxious nomination against loud protest from the people. When an Augusta negro was named for post master the people rose up in op position and the president trans ferred the obnoxious man to Washington. The aotion of presi dent Roosevelt in sending in Crum’s nomination as a recess appointment shows that he has determined upon his unfortunate and unpopular policy and that there is no chance to argue with him. The president’s first mistake was the appointment and the second was insisting upon it and repeating it when the senate had refused to confirm it. Speaker Henderson has no fears for the future of this country, not withstanding the fact that he is no longer a congressman from lowa but soon to be a lawyer of New York. This is indeed reassuring, Spirta Ishmaelite : “Macon got the State fair over Atlanta, but the latter is not down-hearted. She has the elephant, Bobby Walthour, thepoltee commission end an oc casional visit from Sam Jones. It is a big cup that such blessings would not fill to overflowing.” The parties who appealed against the fee of 1200 allowed John Smith for his services in the bankrupt procedures of the Macon Sash, Door and Lumber Company, and thereby caused the court to raise it t ) SI,OOO, hava been put down on the records among the people who are sorry they spoke. — There is very evidently something wrong with the executive mansion ‘n Atlanta. The last three govern ors, including Governor Terrell, were healthy and hearty men until they went into it, but all of them have been laid up in the same wiv afterwards. This is no joke, and should bo looked into by the sanita ry sharps. President Ibiqseveltjdid not make us wait long to judge him by his future actions instead of his recent ones, as ho took the first oppor tunity to again send in the name of Crum to the new senate, after it had failed of c nfirmation by the last one. The cowboy president s'-o-ns to bi un irreclaimahly bad Pg: '- —» - The Columbus E: quiror Sun looks at it this way : “President Roose . velt is out in a long letter in which he attempts to defend h sJjSouthern | p jlicy. However, it will require ' stronger arguments than he brings forward to convince Southern peo ple that he is on the right track. The Southern people have their own ideas about the negro question, and they are not likely to change their views from reading the sophistries of one who dines a negro, appoints him to office over the protestations of white people, and, lastly, but ny no means least, invites him, men and women, to the white house re ceptions ” <*■ President Roosevelt congratulate Speaker Henderson on the fact that “no other congress of recent years has to its credit a record of more substantial achievement” than the one that has just expired. This record foots up $1,554,108,514, or something more than a hundred millions in excess of any previous congress; a very substantial achievement, indeed. — — Mr- Roosevelt and Congress- Harper’s Weekly. At the end of his second session of congress Mr. Roosevelt has hardly any sincere friends in congress. The party machine is .the mo«t perfect we have ever seen. It governs ab solutely, and its decrees are embod ied in legislation. For the moment the country is governed by the edicts of an oligarchy, and not by laws which are the result of discus sion and deliberation. The oligar chy gratifies the president with some legislation, denying him much, and deceiving him in some respects. What it grants is for the sake of harmony. The independent, think ing republicans, who are averse to this rule, who bad hoped for help from the white house against the tyranny of the oligarchy, are hurt and angry. The president may re tain the affection of their constitu ents, bat he has lost the friendship and the confidence ot the represent atives. The president is now the ally of the ruling oligarchy, whose leaders do not agree with a single principle which he announces. They are satisfied, however, with his ulti mate surrender, but they would throw him over if they dared. This is the precise truth as to the presi dent’s relations with the Republics-n politicians at Washington. A New Novel by Charles King. The reading public will hail with pleasure a new novel from the pen of General Charles King, the noted and popular author, entitled, “A Daughter of the Sioux,” and illustrated by Frederic Remington and Edwin Willard Deming. It is now several years since General King has written a book based on the stirring scenes of the Far Western Plains, among which he passed so many years of his active military life. Critics who have read the advance sheets hail this new story with great interest and enthusiasm, claiming for it the true ring and action of his earlier books, and comparing more than favor ably with them. It is certain that his host of oldtime readers are still thor oughly appreciative, as witnessed by the large number of copies already sold before publication. Its literary merit is greatly enhanced by the talent em ployed in its artistic embellishment, and we submit that seldom is found on one title page such a trio ot illustrious names as King—Remington—Deming. We predict for the volume a great suc cess. It is published by The Hobart Company, of New York. Beware of Ointments for Catarrh that Contain Mercury.

NEW MEMBERS ARE SWORIyI IN. — President Roosevelt Asks That Aotlon Be Taken cn Treaties With the Re publics of Columbia and Cuba. New Senators Present Washington, March 5. —The United - States senate met at noon today in a special session called by the presi dent. It was an interesting event as ; such &esslcms do not usually occur ex cept when a president of the United States is inducted into office. At the beginning of each new congress and today was the firsit sessions of tho senate of the flfty-eigth congress, the oath was administered to 26 senators elected for six years. Os these 16 were re-elected as follows: Allison (Iowa), Clay (Ga.), Dilling- [ ham (Vt.), Fairbanks (Ind.) Foraker , (Ohio), Hausbrough (N. D.), Kittredge (S.

The senate being a continuous body, its officers -hold until their successors are chosen, promptly at noon the body was called to order by President Pro Tern. Frye. The scene was a bril liant one, and not unlike the opening of every session of congress. Tha galleries were filled- at an early hour and in the family and' reserved iillen ies were friends and relatives of the new senators. The desks of the new senators could be distinguished by the wealth of flowers which had been pro. vided. The laviehnoss of tho ad mirers was shown by tho fact that desks and even chairs In some in stances were completely burled under huge floral pieces and beautiful bo fluets. Washington, March 5. —President Roosevelt today sent the following message to the senate: “To the Senate: I have called the senate In extraordinary session to con sider the treaties concerning which it proved impossible to take action during the session of congress Just ended. I ask your special attention to the treaty with tho RepubHo of Co lumbia, securing to the United States the right to build an isthmian canal and to the treaty with the Republic of Cuba for securing a measure ol commercial reciprocity between ths two countries. “The great and far-reaching impor tance of these two treaties to the wel fare of the United States and the ur gent need of their adoption, requires me to impose upon you the inconveni ence of meeting at this time. “Theodore Roosevelt "White Hnmoe, March 5, 1903.’* TWO DEATHS BY FIRE.

LOUIS EXHIBIT. Growing Sentiment in Favor cf on Ap propriation. Atlanta, Maith 5. —Renewed inter est is being taken among state officials and members of the general assembly in the proposition to arrange for a suitable exhibit for Georgia at the coming L*ffisiana Purchase exposition et St. Imuis in 1904. All of the state officials are anxious to have , Georgia send an exhibit Worthy of the state, and there is no doubt they will lend their best efforts to the plans. Much gratification Is expressed at the fact that Mayor Howell, of Atlan ta, has taken the matter up, and is in correspondence with the mayors of all j important cities and towns in the state with a view to enlisting their support In the matter of securing an appropriation for such an exhibit. Mayor Howell has received a letter from G. H. Carswell, of Irwinton, in ' which the latter states le can assure the mayor of khe support of the repre sentative from his county for an ap propriation, because he himself is the representative from that county and le heartily in favor of it The sentiment in favor of an eThffr it is growing among the members of the legislature and the proposal to appropriate $50,000 for the purpose will find many staunch supporters. Those who have studied the question express the opinion that there is no law, constitutional or otherwise, in the -way of the general assembly mak ing such an appropriation. The only prohibition upon appropriations in the state constitution is the section which prescribes that no donation, gift or gratuity shall be made to any per lon, association or corporation. An appropriation for an exhibit at the St. Louis exposition, it is said, can not be viewed in tho light of a gift or gratuity to any one, since it is nothing more nor less than a plan to advertise the state for the purpose of attracting desirable Immigrants and foreign capital within its borders. Governor Candler tok this view of tho mayor in his last message, and urged that the appropriation be made. TWO APPOINTMENTS MADE, President and Attorney General Agree on Incumbents for Fat Jobs.
