' J THE BRUNSWICK DAILY NEWS. CHAfIP 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, M.

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.”— Independent.
