idly against Mr. Roosevelt failed. A
delegation of three members of the
Central Federated Union of New York
visited the white house to remonstrate
with the president. It was cordially
received, and the president showed
the members a letter which he had
written to the attorney-general over
a year before directing him to inves
tigate the charge that Moyer and Hay
wood had been kidnapped, and to do
everything in the power of the federal
authorities to assist in securing exact
justice to both sides. In this he had
said:
“So far as the unions are anxious
only to see that exact justice is done
these men, that they are given their
full legal rights and not condemned
unless proved guilty of this specific
act, they are entitled to the cordial
co-operation of all just and fair-minded
citizens. So far as by any action
or by murderous and treasonable lan
guage, such as that quoted above from
Debs (and others), they tend to bring
pressure to bear upon the state au
thorities and the courts to obstruct the
course of justice and to render it dif
ficult to convict men, if guilty, they
are equally without stint to be con
demned; and anything that the feder
al authorities can do in either event
to further the cause of justice is to
be done.”
He gave the committee a written
assurance that this would continue
to be his policy, and that if any ev
idence should be submitted to him at
any time showing any injustice either
for or against the prisoners he would
do anything in his power to redress
it. The committee returned to Mew
York full of satisfaction, giving Presi
dent Roosevelt an emphatic certifi
cate of character, and its report was

MARION BUTLER’S “DISCOVER
IES.”
(The New York Sun.)
The Hon. Marion Butler, once a
Populist senator from North Carolina,
seems to be a detective of unusual
powers of ratiocination. He has found
traces in the Tar Heel state of that
15,000,000 conspiracy the revelation of
which in a moment of supposedly al
coholic confidence made such a hulla
baloo at Washington. Cynics have re
garded the conspiracy as a legend,
a myth, or a mystification, but surely
such a display of official thunder and
lightning would not have followed if
the powers of darkness had not been
really caught in the act of plotting
against Jupiter Tonans. Mr. Butler,
whose reticence and habit of under
statement are of the genuine Populist
sort, has nabbed a receiver of some
part of the $5,000,000. He says that a
Mr. Adams, chairman of the North
Carolina Republican state committee,
“confesses in effect that he belongs to
the $5,000,000 conspiracy and is using
money in opposition to the Roosevelt
policies in South Carolina.” The con
duct of some other politicians and cer
tain officeholders “to his mind showed
conclusively that they were in the
conspiracy.”
It may be said that what is con
clusive to Mr. Butler’s mind is not
necessarily conclusive to every other
mind.
We can not regard as small a man
who is thus credited with a part in
the most mysterious conspiracy in his
tory. As for Butler, something good

PRESENCE OF MIND.
A negro minister from Georgia, who
was visiting friends in New York city,
went on .Sunday to the Cathedral on
Fifth Avenue.
He was very much impressed with
the service, especially by the choir
boys in the processional and reces
sional. When he returned to the
south he resolved to introduce the
same thing into his church; so he col
lected fifteen or twenty little darkies
and drilled them until he had them

well trained.
One Sunday the congregation were
greatly surprised to see the choir
boys marching in, singing the*' proces
sional. The minister noticed that
something was wrong; the boy in
front was not carrying anything. He
leaned over the pulpit and in order
to avoid attracting attention, he
chanted in tune to the song they were
singing.
“What —have you done —with the in
—cense-pot?”
The little darky, with great pres
ence of mind, chanted bacir:
