Special Washington Letter. ,
In the presence of Senator John S.
Morgan of Alabama all men who be
lieve in liberty, and love truth should
stand uncovered. He made a brave
fight and, his age considered, an as
tounding fight to save this great repub
lic from the charge of Punica Fides In
the Cuban matter, but without avaiL
Greed 'was too-" much for honor. - A no
bler .resolution and a wiser was never
passed by any legislative body on earth
than the one with which the American
congress prefaced the Spanish war. In
brief it consisted of" three parts: First,
a declaration that .the Cuban people
ought. to be and of right are free and
independent; second, a disclalmervas
to any Intention on our part to gobble
the island; third, our determination to
get out of the island so soon as the Cu
bans should establish an Independent
and stable, government. That resolu
tion was passed, to show our own gen
erosity and disinterestedness and for
the- further purpose of keeping other
nations off of" us ' while we walloped
fepain. The resolution worked like a
charm. It accomplished everything in
tended or hoped for. Other nations
gave us an unobstructed field, and we
thrashed Spain in jig time. "-
The apostles of greed now say that
it ia regrettable that we ever passed
that resolution. , Really it is regretta
ble that we ever inserted the word
stable. That was the fly in the pot of
ointment. That was the trao. I was
opposed to it then. In the report sub
mitted to the house by the minority of
the committee on foreign affairs, which
I wrote, that word does not-occur. , It
is the source of woes unnumbered. It
constitutes the excuse for the Cuban
rider to the army bill which Morgan
fought so valorously and Ineffectually,
which fastens on us the charsre of
Punic faith and which is a direct,
ruthless and unnecessary slap- In the
face of the Cubans.' It will breed all
sorts of trouble most probably war.
Oar Attitude Hostile.
I say frankly that 1 would like to 6ee
Cuba a part of this republic, but while
securing the island I am in. favor of
preserving American honor bright as
the spear of "Achilles and the plow
share of Cincinnatns. I am unaltera
bly opposed to exhibiting ourselves as
a lot of conscienceless liars to the gaze
of the civilized world. If we act with
decency, tact, honesty and discretion
Cuba will come to us of her own mo
tion, and that is the only way In which
she would be of the slightest value to
us. The Cuban rider renders it Impos
sible for us to hold any save hostile re
lations withthe, Cubans. We thereby
throw away recklessly and Inexcusa
bly any chance. we ever had of peacea
ble annexation. And greed did It, Cer
tain , favorites of t the administration
couldn't wait to get rich. So they
have precipitated hostilities for that's
the real status now. Everything desir
able could have been secured by diplo
macy. It's a great pity.
L "Hi Imperial Majesty.
The Spooner Philippine rider , prac
tically makes Mr. McKinley what Sen
ator Pettigrew ironically suggested his
titles should be "president of the re
public of the United States and emper
or of the islands of the seas.". Let U9
hope that his imperial majesty will be
a clement ruler and riot abuse the un
limited power placed in is hands.
Only one other man on the.whole face
of the earth is endowed with so much
power, and that.Is young Nicholas, czar
of all the Russlas. It, like the peace of
God, passes all understanding this ac
tion of the American congress in con
ferring despotic power upon any .man.
It Is contrary to the genius of our Institutions,-an
anomaly in American legis
lation, a dangerous, let us hope..not a
fatal, innovation. If a cruel, bloody,
inhuman despotism Is. not set up in the
Philippines under the Spooner resolu
tion, It will not be due to the wisdom
of congress, but to the." good sense of
William McKinley. If there be dis
grace, he will share it with a sycophan
tic and reckless congress. If there" be
glory, it will be entirely. Mr. McKin
ley's. The historian of our times will
write over against the name of every
man who vt ted for the Spooner mon
strosity this legend: "This man betray
ed the principles of freegorr"nment.
Let : his name . be anathema - .1 for
ever!"; And it will be a just verdict.
Of course an extra session of congress
was undesirable, but it would tare
been' far better to have remained in
continuous session till March 4. 1903.
than to have precipitated endless hos
tilities" .with Cuba and a despotism in
the Philippines, and that's , precisely
why old - Senator Morgan's 11 , hotn
speech is a performance .worthy of re
membrance and of all gratitude. Leoni
das at Thermopylae Horatius at the
bridge, Davy Crockett at the Alamo
and John T. Morgan In the senate are
companion pieces which men will, love
n inok nnon. but grave- and reverend
senators must not be deprived of their
junkets, their fishing trips,their other
Pnnseauenfly an extra ses-
sion must be avoided at the cost of
...riMn? onr honor v1n Cuba and of
establishing a medteval despotism In
the Philippines. --
Beekless Extrarasrance. -
The, more the Tecord of the Fifty-
sixth congressln. the matter of extras
agance is exposed to tne ngm oi u,
. wnrsfl it will appear to the average
taxpayer. No such recklessness in squan
dering nubllfl monev has been witness
till'!!
ed among men. since the evil days
of the malodorous reconstruction car
petbag legislatures in the south, when
the people were plundered without let
or hindrance. It is. pleasant to reflect
UDOIl the InfsiTTlTr lirhlMi attniho. i

! T j . . . .. .
Massachusetts - penitentiary bow. - If
not, he ought to be. In the Fifty-sixth
congress the looters of the treasury
had it all their own way. and only two
or three, successful stands were made
against them, and those only " .where
comparatively small amounts were in
volved. But I am Inclined to think
that the day of the people's wrath
the dies irse is coming.- -
The newspapers. Democratic and Re
publican, are beginning to . take the
matter up. A constant agitation will
arouse, xne people at last, m a very
carefully considered editorial the Pitts
burg Post says: .
The appropriation! by the present concresi that
will reach $800,000,000 will not be exceptional and
improved on In the future. On the contrary, tbey
wiU set the standard of future appropriations. It
la rare that one congress reduces the amounts ap
propriated by Its predecessor. We believe Mr.
Randall succeeded in doing this when at the head
of the appropriations committee years ago and woa
great 'fame-thereby, but such economists as Ban-
dnlr was are rare In public life.. .
. We are rapidly approaching a billion dollar ses
sion, and that, when compassed, will be the stand
ard. It 1s much easier to spend than to econo
mize, and no people in the world are so Uriah of
public money as the American. The Nation
makes this explanation why one spendthrift con
gress makes the next one almost Inevitably as
prodigal. The reason is that the extravagant leg
islation fixes a permanent charge on the treasury.
No step backward is the rule. There was loud
outcry against a "billion dollar congress," but Its
successor was able to save little or nothing. Now
we are rapidly approaching a billion dollar ses
sion, and no dam Tor the rising flood is In sight.
Each succeeding congress inherits a legacy of ex
travagance from its predecessor. ' Its own hands
are partly tied by anterior legislation committing
the government to continuing appropriations for
this and that scheme, this and that enlargement
of the public service and creation of new offices,
It is this which makes retrenchment so difficult,
if not practically impossible. .
We will not stop with the billion dollar session.
This congress will send over to the next schemes
of extravagance it was afraid to- venture. The
people are demoralized as to public expenditures,
while log rolling ia the vice, of our system of ap
propriations. This makes possible extravagance
that should have no place in spending the money
drained from the people by taxca No other coun
try in the world could stand or permits the
profligate expenditures -."whooped" through con
gress by trades and combinations oa the log rolling
principle. Our legislative methods are bad. "Un
like all other governments in the world, adJs
The Nation, "the American has no rftsn or com
mittee of men to make up a yearly budget, to de
termine income and fix outgoes. Our method is a
happy go lucky plan of allowing one set of men
to make laws for revenue, another to frame bills
for expenditures. That we have not gone to smash
under such chaotic management is due partly to
our traditional good fortune, partly to our ex
panding .wealth which has operated in the same
way that robust health enables a man -to order his
life recklessly, for a time, and partly to the fact
that we have had a rough system of financial con
trol. But this has been badly broken down."-
- The Nation Is eminently correct when
ft says that what are cabled "fixed ap
propriations" render future economies
difficult, if not impossible. For in
stance, the river and harbor bill appro
priates so much outright and then pro
vides for certain "continuing appropri
ations" for a term of years. These lat
ter do not figure in the totals, but they
bind future congresses in a certain
sense and constitute stumbling blocks
to reform.
Garfield'a Old Staxapina- Ground.
Recently I lectured to the students of
Hiram college, Ohio, of which Institu
tion General James A. Garfield was
president when It was In Its Infancy
and he was a mere youth, before he
entered upon the military and political
career which landed him In the White
House. It'would be "a very instructive
thing if we could know what really
were Garfield's ambitions and plans at
that period of his life, for his is almost
the Ideal American career driver of
mules on the towpath, common laborer,
teacher, preacher, state legislator, sol
dier, congressman, senator elect, presi
dent. It is generally taken and accept
ed that his entry into politics was ac
cidental. If so, it was a lucky accident
for him. En passant it may be stated
that he was one of the three presiden
tial scholars par excellence, Thomas
Jefferson and John Qulncy Adams be.
Ing the other two.
It is always pleasant to lecture to
college students They form at once
the most severely critical and the most
highly ' appreciative audience. That
may seem paradoxical, but it is true,
and it is good for a lecturer to stand be
fore such an audience. He does his
best, and every point worth applauding
is applauded. .
In the Fashion.
A ' man in Colorado telegraphed a
man In Missouri: "Tour mother-in-law
9s dead. Shall we embalm, cremate or
bury her?" - The Missourian did not
propose to take any chances, so he an
swered, "Embalm her; cremate her;
bury, her." -He evidently wanted" that
Job done most thoroughly. The mob at
Terre Haute, Ind., was in the same
frame of mind touching the colored
gentleman whom they "worked off" the
other day for 6hooting and killing a
white female schoolteacher. They 6hot
him; they hanged him; they burned
him! .' -
I wish to call the particular attention
of the Boston Antilynch society to that
superfluous energy of that Hoosler
mob. If tbey killed the Senegambian
by shooting him. what was the sense
in hanging him or cremating him?
propound that query to the savants of
the Antilynch society aforesaid. That
triple infliction, of the death penalty
can be explained only by a story told
by the Hon. John Sharp Williams of
Mississippi, one of the brightest men
and finest scholars in congress. He
gays that a man was discovered "frail-
ing" a dead dog with a hickory club.
Asked why, he was thus performing, he
replied, "I wish to teach hjm that there
Js punishment after death." I guess
.that was what the Indiana mob was
trying to do to the colored gentleman
aforesaid; but let us suspend " Jud,
ment till we-hear authoritatively from
the Boston antilynchers. They are en
titled to be heard, and they are invited
to speak. Whilft they are it, they ought
also to explain to a curious world why
lynching has upread ' almost In exact
proportion to their efforts to stop It,
When they began their crusade, lynch.
ing was confined almost entirely to the
south and west. Now It is spreading
like wildfire, and Indiana and Colorado
and Kansas are In the van of the pro
cession. Really it loots as though
lynching bee will be pulled off on Bos.
ton Common befoie long, if the anti
lynchers don't let up in their crusade.
and If the Coloradans, Kansans ana
Indianians don't use up all the raw
material In the shape of colored gen
tlemen. This is an' age of progress,
and the rlooslers prove It beyond all
controversy.
Fata Oiii ta the Seat's,
The nttsburg Dispatch still tries to
saddle the blame for lynching on the
south. Here la Its canting article cn
the Indiana performance. In an edi
torial beaded . "Lynching, North and
South, It says:
A sensational turn was given to the fuseral of
Ida Flnaelstein. the- murdered Terrs lUota . h4
teacher, whose supposed murderer was lynched on
Tuesday, by the rabbi denouncing to mob la the
course of his funeral oration. He declared em
phatically for the orderly prncissta ot f be law and
deplored the taking ot life without th most sta
ple proof of guilt. Ia fact, h made It plain that
the religious beliefs ot the desd girl had been out
raged by tbs action of the mob in awumlng to
take summary vengeance opoa bcr slater. "The
rabbi was right, and bis aourag ia stating k!
convictions, under the circumstances, is com
mendable. Another lynching was reported yesterday. It
occurred in Mississippi, where lynching U tot I
new crime, but it was notable from toe tart that
the victim was a white ma a. The deed was her
alded with some pride sa a proof that the south
makes no diaerlminatloa oa account of color, Irt
the lsw s hiding citiaen will hardly ditcorer - - -
food cause for pride. It s simply sa umplicA
tion ot how familiarity with vie breeds toleraaca.
The lynching of colored men, incited by race
prejudice, has become so common that mob vio
lence has superseded law even ia tha treatment oi
poor whites.
Lynching is a disgrace to our tree Institutions
and a blot upon Americaa principles of Jostle.
Oft times tha law's delays art irritating ly sad aa
necesasrily prolonged. . Better that, however, tbaa

"Tws O'a."
Lwlsh to call the particular attention
of the Boston newspapers to the fact
that in all the foregoing discussion of
the far resounding performance at Ter
re Haute I have nowhere referred to
the eminent Individual who was shot.
hanged and burned as "a nigger," bnt
as "a colored gentleman." The sapient
scribes of the Hub should give me do
credit for this. Not long since, in ex
posing on the floor of the house Repub
lican hypocrisy as to disfranchising the
colored man in the south while Repub
lican themselves disfranchised both
blacks and whites in the District of
Columbia, I stated tbst the only ex
cuse I ever heard for It was that an
eminent Republican resident of the
District of Colombia said to me, "If
you grant the right of franchise to the
people of the District of Columbia, the
blamed niggers and the poor whites
will vote us into bankruptcy." I
used the expression as I heard It and
gave my authority. Republican author
ity. Now, be it further remembered
that the Boston editors did net object
to the emphatic and more or leu pro
fane adjective. Their lecture was bas
ed on the assumed fact that I spelled
"colored gentleman" with "two gs.'
They knew that their contention was
false, but tbey also knew that their
readers, not having the text of my re
marks before their eyes, would Dot
know that they were predicating a
moral and ethical lecture on a false
basis, so they could misrepresent me
with impunity, exalting their own vir
tue at the cheap cost of telling a canard
by indirection. There Is nothing so
self satisfying as Pharisaism.
But I wish to call the further at ten
tion of these Boston wiseacres to the
fact that on the 27th day or February,
A. D. 1901, "Uncle Joe" Cannon. Re
publican chairman of the committee on
appropriations, did. while speaking for
himself and not while quoting any
body, speak of "a nigger" and not of
'a colored person." I a other words.
he actually committed the sin which

TUE SELF-MADE XIX.
Do eh ana (Tetas) Nraa. -
The News is io receipt of letters
from two youog meo, one of whoa
asks for an opinion as to tbe most
helpful journal for him to read, and the
other ioquires where be can pocure
gd history of self-made meo, sod
is anxious about the opportunities for
himself to become successful as a self
made mao.
Io answer to the first, we reply that
there are many jxiroals now publish
ed that are helpful, but so lar as our
nowledge of curreot literatote gxs.
the one most helpful io every way lo
youog men, is a paper called Success,
published io B-os'.oo.
To the second, we can cmly reply
that most history that rs worth the read.
og is the history of self-made men and
women, the shelves ol every book
store io the land are 6. led with the
biographies of self-made teen. Nj bi
ography has never been written of the
mao who waso't self made. And it
never will be. The world doeso t care
to know aoyihiog about soy other
kiodosmeo. The truth is, dear boy.
that every man is self-made, oo matter
whether he be king, prince or poten
tate, freeroao, serf or slave, learoed,ot
gooraot, rich or poor, good or bad.
There is ao other kind ol raeo, except
these who sre born idiots.
It ts true that sometimes we see raeo
who have acquired a little wealth, or
little oli;ical or socla ptomioeoce.
bo pride themselves ihst they
are better than other me a becawe
they are "self made" io their accepts
tion of that term; who cotmder them
selves ss superior beiegs because they
have succeeded, io some degree, beo
their opportunities seemed to them
imited. Ceoerally, yoa will find the
man who boasts cf being self-made a
Iqng way from being very learcel or
tzrj wise, for if he were either t
would know that every cum who has
succeeded io doiog anjth-.cg great or
good or ouUe to this wcxld has twto
scll-made sod therefore he hasn't soy
thing to brag stout. It doeso't snake
aoy difference whether be'turted io
life rich, or poor, whether cf royal Uood
or of peasant family, whether gito
every sdvactige of posit too, sod
wtalih, tod edocatioo, cr whether
hindered by obscurity sod poverty.
and ignorance, if be succeeded io do-
iesi soythiog worthy of a mao. it was
becaose. he did it of bis oo exentoca.
Poverty helps do mao to be self-
made, and riches aod pride of b.rth
do not hinder bim. Bobby Bares was
at poor as a church mouse, sod aa
obscore plow boy, at that, bat bewrote
poetry that will be read sod admixed
as long as the English languige tires.
uyroo was a lord, scd had po;tioo
aod wealth, snd honor, bet all t
did net keep bias from beieg the most
gifted poet of his time. Napoleon
Boos parte, from being a lieutenant ia
the army, rose by his owo indomitable
will, eoergy, snd pcrtcvtricce, to be
the first emperor of France, snd tor
time the master of sll Europe. But
Julius Ccasar, rich, titled, ekxj'wni.
learned, made himself dtator c
Rome, which ruled the world, sod be
wrote his own hUlory of his wars io
Gaol, which lives to this day a ss mod
el of Liti a composition; aod as a mod
el history. Morse was so poor when
he inveotrd the telegraph ttat his in
ventioo came near be iog lest because
he could ool prove its value, scd coo
-ress hesitated about mak:og ao ap
propriation to bo. Id a lioe of wire oa
which he could prove it. Cyrus W.
Field was a rich mao wheo be coo
cetved the plan ol taiicg the A'.laatK
cabV, but when be bad sprat hts for
tune sod failed in his wotk, hed.d net
txsuste to coital the help of others.
acd wheo he had finally succeeded,
congress gsvt hira a vote of thanks
aod a gold medal.
Thick yoo, young mao, that aoy
ooe of these meo, or thousands o
others of the world's great meo
io
every field, was any more self made
ihao the other? Sorely oot. It b true
it at some have had greater obstacles
io overcome than others, but the very
work of fighting developed theta sod
heljcJroike them what they were.
Smc were more gilted by nature than
other, sod' outatrirped those who
were weaker. Bji mind yoo, every
mio was what he was because he had
fa degree worked snd developed hta
peculiar talent or his peculiar gemo.
No one else did it for him. A teas
may be boro wtih so estrsordioary
rciod, but if he makes so estiSTrdioary
mao, he mutt work. He rosy inherit
r chet, but if he accumulates mote, he
must. work, llemay even be boro
king, but it depends oo hitsscll what
kiud of kirg, he wdl be.
