CLARK'S
LETTER
CSpec’lal Washington Letter.)
DU. SOHURMAN. president of
Cornell, president u e the first
Philippine commission, the be
loved of William McKinley, may .
thank his stars that when he re
cently made ills famous Boston
speech declaring that ultimately we
would grant their freedom to tiie Chris
thins of Luzon and Visayas when they
ask it and when they show themselves
ohj,able of it lie was not within the
Jurisdiction of General Wheaton, for
that irate warrior declares that in the
Philippines men have been sent to pris
on tor Just such treasonable Jabber as
Sehurumn uttered.
Senator Carmack of Tennessee stated
on the floor of the senate chamber that
a high olficer of the 1 nited States in the
Philippines said to an imelligent and
reliable American newspaper man that
“the American Declaration of Inde
pendence is a d—d incendiary docu
ment!" an opinion identical with that
held by George 111. touching that Im
mortal state paper. Evidently some of
our army officers entertain sentiments
differing widely from those gloried in
by such soldiers ns George Washing
ton. "Mad” Anthony Wayne, Light
Horse Harry Lee. Francis Marion,
George Rogers Clark and other Revolu
tionary heroes who fought eight years
to make Jefferson’s declaration good;
hut, then, we must remember that Ibis
is "a progressive age" and "we are a
progressive people."
Lieutenant General Nelson A. Miles
was publicly and scathingly reprimand
ed for agreeing with Admiral George
Dewey in declaring that Admiral Win
field Scott Schley was the real hero of
Santiago, but there is no reprimand for
General Wheaton for intimating that
Dr. Selitirman ought to he clapped into
jail for uttering a peculiarly Amer
ican doctrine; no reprimand for a
high officer of the United States for
declaring that the Declaration of In
dependence is a "and and incendiary doc
ument!"
Yes, we are "progressing"—back to
the rank of Toryism of George Gren
ville and Lord North.
When Henry M. Teller, the venerable
senator from Colorado, once secretary
of the interior under a Republican pres
ident, suggested that by progressing
niuelt further on the Wheaton plan it
would soon come to pass that a senator
would he afraid to read the Declara
tion of Independence in the senate
chamber, Senator Lodge of Massachu
setts denounced the statement as "sil
ly.” True, when Senator Lodge cooled
off he apologized for using the word,
hut he could not rub out the fact that
he used it! O temporal (> mores!
Plantation manners from Massachu
setts!
Nobody denied Carmack’s statement
made in open senate. Nobody defend
ed "the high officer of the United
States" for uttering words which would
disgrace any citizen of the republic,
and no Republican senator wagged his
tongue in condemnation of him. Yes,
we are “progressing" rapidly.
If any high officer of the United
States did say, as Carmack avers, that
the Declaration of Independence is "a
d——d incendiary document,” lie ought
to be stripped of his uniform, broken
of his commission and banished for life
to the Dry Tortugas. Such punishment
ought to he metdw out to him as to
cause all incipient traitors to keep de
cent tongues In their heads.
Rushing Things.
The big Republican majority in the
house run tilings with a high hand
They obey no rules, even of their own
making. They cure for neither con
stitution nor law. Most people have
had an Idea that.the Reed rules were
drastic enough for all purposes. Not
so, however. When “Uncle Joe" Can
non, chairman of the appropriations
committee, wanted to put through a
grab of $.'00,000 to build new barracks
at Manila in the urgency deficiency
appropriation bill, and when Mr. Hull
the Republican chairman of the coin
mittee on military affairs, raised the
point of order that, it was new legisla
tion and therefore could not he had on
an appropriation bill, “Uncle Joe” beat
the devil around the stump and induc
ed the presiding officer and the Repub
lican majority to override the rule
which they themselves had established
to protect the treasury from just such
raids.
“For ever and a Day.”
The other day when I prodded “Un
cle Joe” Cannon In debate he "let the
cat out of the hag” by vociferating,
“We intend to hold the Philippines
forever and a day!” which I then and
there declared to he "the most melan
choly declaration ever made in the
house of representatives,” and it is.
It means, if his idea is carried out,
ceaseless sorrow and unending expense
to the American people. I also charac
terized his proposition as “the most
idiotic scheme ever hatched in the
brain of man, and it is, for there is no
conceivable way in which we ean gain
from this Philippine business either
glory or profit.
We have been assured time and time
again that the Filipinos are "pacified”
and that thu “cruel war is over,” and
every time, just as we were settling
ourselves to enjoy oqy dream of peace
now# of anew battle or lfcpunwction
PROGRESSING LIKE
THE CRAB.
TKt HOST iD.OTIC
SCHEME,
A SUPERELUOUS
PIECE OP FLUN
KYISM.
would come to torture us again. Now
we have the doleful statement from
the commanding general that Ao.ihh)
troops are necessary and will he neces
sary for years to come to hold the Fili
pinos down. Jones, on the floor of the
house, extracted from Colonel Benja
min Franklin Marsh of Illinois the
fact that it costs SI,OOO per annum t >
maintain a soldier at home and much
more (probably twice as much) to
maintain htm abroad. That would lie
$100,000,000 a year, to say nothing of
the loss of life and the huge pension
roll we arc saddling on ourselves. In
view of these facts 1 was thoroughly
justified in characterizing "Uncle
Joe's" scheme ns "the most idiotic ever
hatched in the brain of man" and his
"forever and a day” declaration as "the
most lueluiuiholy ever heard in con
gress."
Holding the Philippines "forever and
a day" is the old, futile and condemned
performance of “shearing a woo," ut
terly profitless and void of glory.
Perhaps the illustrious Sucker spoke
unadvisedly in the heat of debate in
enunciating his "forever and a day”
programme and when lie cools off may
renege. Wise men change their minds;
fools never do, and "Uncle Joe” is not
a fool, whatever else he may lie. So
there is hope for him.
Un-American.
The appointment of a special em
bassy to attend the coronation of King
Edward Vll. is a distinctive!,! un-
American performance. We wont out
of tiie coronation business July t, 177d,
and should not enter into it again. So
far as 1 am concerned I will never
vote one cent of the people’s money to
pay the expenses of anybody to help
crown any king in England or else
where. This embassy is a superfluous
piece of flunky ism. We are already
represented at the court of Si. .lames
by our embassador, Hon. Joseph 11.
Choate, popularly named Joe Choate,
who is vaunted by tiis friends and ad
mirers as one of the most brilliant of
mortals and who for some three or
four years lias been swinging the cen
ser under the nose of British royalty
by advocating an alliance betwixt tin*
United States and Great Britain. If it
was absolutely necessary that we stul
tify ourselves h,v having some \ineri
cau aid in holding up the train of Ed
ward Vll.. why not let Mr. Choate pet
form Hint un-American function V J >itl
we send any special embassy to help
crown George 1V.7 Not any. One
James Monroe was president then, lie
was a disciple and bosom friend of
the Immortal Jefferson, who liatid
kingcraft as the devil hates hoi;, wa
ter. Did we send any special end re y
to help crown William IV., the sailor
king? Not much. One Andrew .lac.
son was In the White House then,
whose chief glory was that ut New
Orleans he had trounced the Briiish
army In most astounding fashion, ldd
we send Americans to koto a be fore
royalty at the coronation of (jueen
Victoria? Not that anybody has heard
of. Martin Van Huron, “Old Hickory's"
favorite pupil, was at the helm then,
and we were not then engaged in the
un-American caper of aping royalty
and aristocracy. Wo are progressing
after the manner of tiie crab-hack
ward—growing like a cow’s tail down
ward.
It is all right to welcome and enter
tain Prince Henry—"Unser Heinrich”
—of Hohenzolleru. He is our guest,
and American hospitality demands
that we receive him cordially and that
We foot the hills. Another reason is
that for a long time a little coterie of
auglomanlacH in this country have
been endeavoring to commit us to an
English alliance and to g< t us into a
row with Germany. Our kindly recep
tion of Prince Henry will demonstrate
that we are not the enemy of Germa
ny, but desire to he on good terms
with her.
The entertainment of Prince Henry
and tiie sending of a special embassy
to King Edward’s coronation are cases
which are not on “all fours.” as the
lawyers say. They are in no way aim
ilar. The American people will he glad
to entertain the German prince, hut
they will not indorse the special cm
hassy to London.
The Execution of Scheepers.
By ruthlessly hanging Scheepers Lord
Kitchener has succeeded in doing tw<
thing* first, “damning himself to
everlasting fame;” second, making a
martyr. Since the bloody Britishers
hanged General liayne of South Caro
lina no more beastly or idiotic per
formance has been done by any mili
tary commander than the murder of
Scheepers, for that is precisely what
his execution was—a dastardly mur
der. Think of it—a sick man, drag
ged out of bed in a hospital, tried for
his life by a drumhead court martial,
convicted and summarily executed for
the crime of fighting for liberty, home,
wife, children and native land! Some
years ago I was at Charleston, and 11n
house in wliiU General liayne was
confined and from which he was led
forth to die on the gallows was pointed
out to me as "a shrine of freedom.”
liayne is among the American mortals.
So will Scheepers lie among the im
mortals of South Africa.
Even 0o belt Englishmen condemn
the South African war of conquest,
and some of them predict that the re
sult will he dtensirnus to the Kritish.
Amon.u- ihe latter is Professor Bryce,

works, rpoii being: asked recently to

There are persons with requests for
money for queer uses. For example,
a woman once wanted to borrow $3,
which sum. she assured me, was suffi
cient to stock and equip a candy store,
tiie income from which would support
herself and three children.
There was a man who had long been
out of work who wanted to borrow $1
with which to buy a stock of tin horns
to sell on the street at profit on the
night following election day.
But here, again, perhaps the stran
gest case was that of u man who came
to tell me that, as a hook agent, he had
been canvassing for orders for the Bi
ble. Not having met with success, he
explained that the reason was that
“the Bible was played out.” He there
fore wanted to borrow a quarter to
invest in some sort of a sample mouse
trap, the need for which, he thought,
xvould be “abiding, permanent, per
petual and perennially recurring.”—
