WASEHNGrTON LETTER.
From oar ttegalar Correspondent.
What democratuj represen
tatives designate asthemost
flagrant outrage ever perpe
trated on the rights of the
minorit occurred last week
when the majority voted, a
mid a scene of wild disorder,
to,unseat Representative J.
J. Butler, of the 12th Dist.of
Missouri, and seated in h i s
place Mr. G. C. R. Wagoner.
Mr. Butler was elected by a
majority of over 6,000, and
because some frauds were
found in the election returns,
forty-one precincts were
thrown out and Mr. Wagon
er accorded the seat. Repre
sentatiye DeArmond.'of Mis
souri, made a scathing speech
saving in part: "And now we
have here the farce, the
shameful spectacle of an at
tempt to put that man into
the House, to draw $10,000
salary, to draw two mileages
to draw two allowances for
stationery. In all toe procee
dings, not only in the. United
States Congress, bub in the
wide world over, in the histo
ry of election contests, no oth
er case so low, so base, so
mean, showing such utter
want of decency and all pre
tense of light, so thoroughly
colorless of unything exeept
iniquity and wrong can be
found: nothing in baseness
and hypocrisy, nothing in
meanuess and deceit; nothing
in bitter partisanship, and
cant to match or be compnr
edwiththiscasecan be found.
Welcome this man to your
bosom as a man not at all
entitled to the seat but as a
man fully entitled to the po
litical fellowship of those who
would steal it for him there
cipient of stolen goods placed
on a precse par with those
who stole the goods."
As a result of iheunseatinK
of Butler, the democrats
pledged themselves to filibus
ter on every motion to the
end of the ses-ion and have
madegoodjtheir pledge. Only
by the adoption of rules clear
ly beyond the spirit of the
Constitution and rulings
whichare more tyra nical than
those of the late. Speaker
Reed, have the republicans
accomplished any business
whatever.
Republican members of the
Senate took occasion when
Sundry Civil Bill was under
consideration to criticise the
President for his appoint
ment of Senators Lodge and
Turner on the Alaskan boun
day commission. As these ap
pointments do not require
the confirmation of the Sen
ate no further action can be
taken, butSenatorsHalennd
Hoar were bitter in their de
nunciation of the practice o
appointing senators on spec
ialeommission although they
protested that the'r objec
tion in no way involved t h
personality of the Senators
appointed.
The republican members o
the Senate, forced to commi
themselves by Senator Black
burn's systematic preBenta
tion of the Question, voted
not to consider the Little
field bill. Senator Hoar had
said that this measurV con
tuined tbp only effective pro
visions against, the trusts
and it was known that the
President and the Attorney
General approved the bill but
he trust influence in the Sen
ate prevented even its consid
eration. The claim is made
that there remains no time
or the consideration of so
important a measure but on
he other hand there is an or
ganized attempt to enact the
Aldrich financial bill.capable
of farther reachingeffects and
infinitely more difficult to un
derstand. According to the
program arranged by Mr. Al
drich and Repiesentntive
Pavnethis measure was to
pass both bouses without de
hate, but it is now believed it
will sutler defeat in t li e
House.
The probable defeat of the
Aldrich bill in the House is a
Honrce of much relief to t h e
democrats who believe they
see in its provisions great pos
sioilities of evil. It is pointed
out that it would authorize
he Stcretary of the Treasu
. . . - fi
ry to determine wnar. rail
road, state, county and mu
nicipal bonds he would ac
cept as securities for govern
ment funds and what he
would reject and were there
to be selected n Secretary
whoseintegrity waa not; of
the strictest he could by con
fldential information to his
friends slightly in advance of
his contemplated action, en
able them to reap fortune on
either side of the stock mar
ket.
The President sent to the
Senate an earnest appeal lor
the passage of the Philippine
sugar and tobacco imported
into this country from 75 to
50 per cent, of the Dinglev
rates, and admitting other
imports free. Your correspon
dent made a careful canvass
of the Senate ami ascertain
ed that a majority of the
democrats and of the repub
icans would be glad to vote
thin mpnsnre but will not. it
is feared, have an opportuni
tr because Senators Patter
son and Teller of Colorado,
have determined to talk the
measure to death if its fur
ther consideration is under
taken. They fear tha compe
tition of the Philippinesugar
with the beet sugar produ
of Colorado.
Statehood legislation was
declared off n few days before
the adjournment, the repubP
cans having proposed an im
po3sible compromise and the
democrats voted unanimous
ly, in caucus, to reject it. The
dead lock on the Panama Ca
nal remains unbroken, how
ever, and an extra session o
the Senate has been called to
ratify the Colombian and Cu
ban treaties. Senator Morg
an adheres to his proposition
that the Colombian conven
tion as drafted is an infa
mouK measure and has an
nounced that he will oppose
any vote on the bill. Mr. Mor
gan is the only Senator who
is opposed to the treaty bu
he is a Gibralter, under the
circumstances.
There has been mnrh criti
cism of the White Housechief
ly by those who have never
been it or who have gotten
their information second

sion has gotten abroad that
he President is to blame for
all that in criticised although
he is neither an architect nor
a decorator. With regad to
he office building the Presi
dent asked that it be made
plain and his desire has cer
tainly been carried oat. Your
corespondent, who has lived
in Wasington f o r many
years, and who has been in
the White House on many oc
easions dining and since
Grant's administration, but
without being a connoisseur
in art decoration, can say
hat the convenience of the
White house has been greaN
ly improyed and no com
plaint has been heard from
the President with regnrd.to

The Hfgro Problem,

The seventeeth annunl din
ner of the New York South
ern Society was given on Sat
urday night last in the ban
quet hall of the Waldorf-As
toriiv Members of the socie
ty and their guests, including
their wives and daughters,
weie present. It was a bril
liant assemblage, numbering
nearly seven hundred people.
and was presided over by A.
J. Van Wyck, president of the
society. P r e s i d e n t V a n
Wyck, after reviewing the
South's resources and devel
ooment. touched upon the
race question in these terirs.
"What the South needs and
must have is-peace at home,
and jointly with the rest of
the nation. international
peace. There is but one un
settled problem peculiar to
thatsectioii commonly called
t h e negro question. T h
South understands it and if
eft alone will set tie it rightly
and justly in a christian spirt
The natural friendship be
tween whites bnd blacks of
long standing, with no idea
of social equality, is well
known to those at all famil
iar with the subject. The best
friend of the black race is the
white race of the South. The
future welfare aud develop
ment of the former rests upon
the absence of conflict be
tween the two. Let no A-
merican citizen who loves his
country be a party to stimu
late a war of races."
This is brief but straight
to the point, and we trust it
will come under the eye o
each and eyery fanatic, and
theorist at the North who
through wilful ignorance or
sectional hatred, is constant
ly adding fuel to the flame
of race pieiiiin-e in the South
and make the nidation of the
problem all themoee difficult
If these people'.will profit by
the utterances of Mr. Van
Wyck and other intelligent
and conservative men o
this section, it will do them
no harm, and it will do the
negro aud the South mueh
good.
