A CRIME AGAINST CIVILIZATION.
In the course of an nddrese In New

Revolution In Politic," Andrew D.
."White, formerly United Staten ambus-
' •ador to Germany, expressed hlmaelf

P08T-ELECTION CRITICS.
The editor of the MllledgevJUe News
wants forgiveness "for voting for
Parker and Parker methods,*’ but can
scarcely forgive himself.
The editor of the Atlanta News
praises these "brave words" with unc
tion.
The former lost out In a recent can
didacy for political honors, and feels
discourage, no doubt. The latter lost
out In his advocacy of ffearst for Pres
ident, and Is also on the disappointed
list. But we hope both of these gen
tlemen will come round all right li\ the
end.
We have seen a good many general
criticisms of Parker and the platform
but we have seen no specific charges.
There were mmny reasons for Roose
velt's large vote. Tfyose reasons
would have existed Just the same If
Hearst or Cleveland had been nomi
nated. But the most interesting fact
Is the falling off of the Democratic
vote. Rome of the post-election
critics ought to dwell on this fact, and
give us the reasons for It Why did a
million Democrats stay at home? Who
encouraged them to stay at home?
man can make. The president was ap
pealed to hy u colored Baptist minister to
save the latter's son from the g«Howe for
the murder of a farmer In Canada. The
president listened to the appeal, and has
succeeded In securing a computation or
sentence. I don't aumlre the president
for that."
Mr. White has served the true In
terests of his country by this utter
ance, and his action Is the more com
mendable because he runs ttie risk of
being accused of treason by the multi
tude of self-seeking flatterers who
surround President RossevelL Mr.
White has the courngo to spesk
ward in season In spite of the howling
pf the Jackals mentioned and the In
tdlgnant surprise of tens of thousands
©f American hero-worshippers who
bave elected to crown TheorcJoro
Roosevelt with their approval and are
Impatient of the slightest criticism of
his course, suggesting by their smas-
Ing attitude the diseased state of the
public mind In former times which
permitted the assumption on the purl
of autocratic rulers that "the king can
tio no wrong.”
President Roosevelt would do well
to read the exhaustive article In the
current McClure's Magaslne on the
Increase of lawlessness In the United
States and reflect soberly on the sta
tistics there given covering a term of
years. If he does this he will realise
that by his set he has helped to In
crease Instead of helping to check the
startling yearly Increase In the num
ber of murders and homicides In this
country. We have now about 9,000
death* from murderous violence and
only about 120 legal executions a yesr.
In Canada, on the other hand, there
are very few homicides been use tho
murderer Is not saved from Juat pun
ishment hy wealth, power, unchecked
corruption of the courts, or sickly
sentimentalism.
In view of the alarming conditions
In this country, the president's ac
tion In thrusting his Influence Into a
law-abiding and crime-punishing for
eign commonwealth In order to nave a
murderer from death Is not merely
■macing, It Is an Iniquity, a crime
against civilisation. We may be sure
that It the murderer had been a white
tnan the president would have been
restrained hy consideration for the
public welfare. K?*n admitting hln
overpowering temptation tol nterfere
because the murderer was a negro, the
president's remarkable course In this
matter must still he condemned hy sll
thoughtful and truly patriotic men.
MUST MAKE ALLOWANCES.
We observe that the Independent
Northern press, which condemned the
President's course In Insisting on the
appointment of Dr. Leonard Wood its
major-general 'against the Senate's
protest, now commends his course in
Insisting on the appointment of Dr.
Crum as collector of the port of
Charleston against rlmtlar opposition
In the upper,branch of congress. This
would Indicate that the Independent
Northern press ceasex to he independ
ent when the dregs of old prejudices
are stirred.
The Boston Herald, for example, has
"nothing hut praise" for the President's
course In the Crum affair, and says
that If he had yielded "It would have
been a lamentable abandonment bf
principle and duty."
However, ws must make allowances
for the peculiar situation of the Her
ald. It must have Its weather reports.
It Is too much to expect that thnt
Journal will bo ns free In Its criticism
of the President as formerly. It has
had Its lesson. After having Its Wash
ington news cut off hy the President’s
order In punishment of a very mild
indiscretion, the Ifcrsld Is henceforth
apt to be wisely optimistic rather than
recklessly pessimistic In Its comment
upon the acts of a public official who
has proved himself to be so powerful.
THE WHIPPING P08T.
To the Editor of The Telegraph:—-
*he papers are full of talk about Presi
dent Roosevelt's favoring the whipping
post for wife beating. The suggestion
takes In the Houth. and should apply
minor offenses generally.
A few days since, in my rambles for
-^e "good old Telegraph," as every
body calls it. I dropped In to take tea
ttfti Major R. J. Bacon .who lives on
k farm near the village.
Conversation drifted upon many
things, and the whipping post sug
gestion came up. .Major Bacon regards
ns the salvation of the negro race—
It possesses the stopping qualities
hlch.the chalngaing or imprisonment
has not.
Rome years ago," said the major,
. negro preacher, Rev. Bill Phillips,
came to my office. Ills face wore that
peculiar air of setlous Importance
which only the colored brother can
assume when he wishes to discuss a
subject of deep moment Watching
expression, I said: 'Phillips, what’s
matter?’
"Well, major, I came to see you on
very .serious subject. There Is too
much stealing, and fussing and evil-
doing ’gwlnc on ’mong my color to
suit me. They got so now dey do not
even respect de church meetings."
"I come to see ef you white folks
esn’t do something, pass some law to
stop de niggers."
"Yes," replied .Major, "we white folks
111 do our part. Phillips what Is
needed Is the old time whipping post.
The chalngang Is no infamous punish
ment to your people. He Is a big man
among you when he returns. But the
whipping post Is dreaded. If you col
ored people will help us we will elect
men who will pass laws for the lash
and old time flogging."
"Major, we will help you.”
"You see, Phillips, It will apply to
white and black. It will stop your
people from theft, from larceny, from
chicken stealing, and disturbing wor
ship. and raising rows nnd playing
craps and skin guinea, nnd It will stop
r.slde from pistol-toting."
Phillips was delighted. He grew
enthusiastic for the new law nnd was
loud In his commendation* and prom
ises of voting for such a salutary
measure.
Continuing. Major Bacon remarked:
And Phillips, it is the remedy to stop
nil this wlfe-bentlng rrnong your color."
"Alas! this remark of mine threw
nil the fat In the fire.
"You say major dat law will stop
husbands from chastising their wives?"
”Of course It will."
' 'Den major, lets stop right here.
Twon't do. You white folks don't
know nigger women. You 'bleeged to
bent ’em some times. No, inajojr, let
It all go'If nigger women is to go free
from de rod. Dey 'Jess naturally got
to have beaten sometimes."
And Major Bacon said hie
preacher Phillips will fall .out with
hi* President If he declares for the
whipping post for wlfe-beatcre.

AS HOU8E COMMITTEE CANNOT PRESENT ARTICLES OF IM-
PEACHMENT BEFORE THE HOLIDAYS—SENATE COMMITTEE
HAS MATTER UNDER CONSIDERATION—PHILIPPINE GOVERN-
MENT BILL.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 14.—The sen-,
which under the constitution, Is
made the trial court in impeachment
cases, today received official notice of

part of officials to find precendf.nts and
make preparations for the ceremony,
the like of which had not been wltness-
In the senate chamber since the pro
ceedings of 1178 against Secretary

While these details were being ar
ranged Senator Frye was engaged in
conference with the house committee
consisting of Messrs. Palmer, Jenkins,

flcatlon to Mr. Frye of the committee's
desire to bring the action of the house

possible today and Mr. Frye's reply
that the senate would be prepared to

( to the time when the senate should

Colonel D. M. Ransdeell, sergeant-at-
arms of the senate, and all the mem
bers conducted down the center aisle
to a point Immediately In front of the
seat of the president pro tern.
Mr. Palmer apoke for the committee,
saying:

the committee: The chair begs to an
nounce that the senate will take order
In the premises, due notice of which

Philippine government bill and the
pure food bill. Mr. Foraktr present
ed a tariff amendment to the Philip
pine bill, but upon complaint of Mr.
DuBola and other senators that this
provtson had not been contemplated
when the senate entered Into nn agre-
ment to vote on the bill next Friday,
