Far and away the most important ut
terance of any public man this year,
perhaps. in this generation, is that of
President McKinley touching the third
term matter. "Words fitly spoken,"
says King Solomon, "are like apples, of
gold In -pictures of silver,";:-That Mr.
McKinley's were fitly spoken-there can
be no question."! say now, once for
all, expressing a . long settled convic
tion, that I not only am not and will
not be a candidate for a third" term, but
would not accept a nomination for it if
it were tendered me." That sentence
opportunely; published confounds his
enemies, rejoices his true friends, per
sonal ancLpolitical; relieves many gen
uine patriots of a great fear and in
creases vastly his stature as an Ameri
can statesman. It does more than all
this. It adds the weight of another il
lustrious name to the precedent set by
Washington and confirmed by Jeffer
son, Madison, Monroe and Jackson. I
have.no disposition to gush over Mr.
Mcii.iniey. Personally l entertain a
high regard for him, and both for his
own sake and the sake of constitution
al liberty I rejoice with exceeding great
oy that he has settled the third term
idiocy for another. generation at least.
can say with some pride, "I told you
so," for I never doubted that nis com'
mon sense would in due time put an
effectual stopper on those sycophants
who were endeavoring to lure him into
a course which would have jeopardized
his popularity and would perhaps have
ended in Ignominious defeat, a sad end
ing to such a triumphant career. . .
Standing today on the topmost pin
nacle of human power, having sounded
all the shoals and depths of honor, he
can render his country at least one
more signal blessing, and that is to
take advantage of his tremendous In
fluence to secure an, amendment to the
constitution limiting the presidency to
one term of six years and making the
Incumbent forever after ineligible to
that great office the greatest which
earth has to bestow. If he can do this,
future generations will call him bless-
Depew and Grosvenor.
Mr. McKinley's performance reminds
me of a story. Out in Pike county.
Mo., there once lived a great wag nam
ed Sid Shaw, who occasionally bearded
and bucked the tiger itl his lair Early
one morning a friend found Sid leaning
against a lamppost In St. Louis, look
ing exceedingly disconsolate. He kind
ly inquired, "Sid, what's the trouble?"
Sid replied with tearful voice, "I play
ed faro all night, lost my last cent and
feel that I have been acting the fool
with nothing to show for it!" It seems
that Senator Chauncey Mitchell Depew
and General Charles Henry Grosvenor
must feel much as did Sid Shaw. De
pew may get out of his predicament by
declaring jjhat it was all a huge joke,
but General Grosvenor cannot escape:
so easily from the well merited derision
of mankind which he has brought upon
himself by advocating an un-American
proposition, at variance with our whole
history and with the genius of our in
stitutions. General Grosvenor very
rarely jokes. When he does, his jokes
burn more than they tickle. He was in
deadly earnest,, whatever Depew may
have been. The most charitable view
that can .be taken of his performance
is that his affection for the president
outran his discretion. - " .
- v Be Thankful. ; .
The item of news recently sent out
from Chicago that the expected has
happened again and the manufacturers
of plows have formed a combine must
fill the farmers who voted the Repub
lican ticket last year with, gratitude
and enthusiasm. The published pur
pose Is to reduce the cost of production
and the price to the users. The effect
will be to reduce the cost and to raise
the price to the usees. It is always
thus, and" the plow combine will form
jio exception to the rule. - - ' ;
perhaps Mr. Babcock of Wisconsin
may find In this some encouragement
to carry on lu-s somewhat belated cru
sade against the trusts. Hitherto the
most reliable body of voters for the Re
publicans, bar none, have been the
farmers of the great west and north
west More than once they have saved
that party from utter rout, if not from
annihilation. None are so blind as
those who will not see, and they have
been among the blindest. Others might
Cod. but as a body they have remain
ed faithful to the Republican party ana
policies even unto death. It may be
that the plow combine will open their
eyes to their own interests, isous ver-

Vuttpr informed. It so happened that
I delivered my Blair speech beginning
a in the afternoon of Feb, 4,;iS03.
patriots were struggling In congress
and out of it with might and main to
annex the Sandwich Islands, Inter alia Pthey follow."
I suggested in the house that it was not
a good or wise thing to take to our
yearning" bosoms thirty odd thousand
"Chinese coolies and to fix It so that the
sugar barons would and could import
that undesirable class ad libitum to the
exclusion of American laborers. Then
w"as denounced as a bad citizen by
men who had accepted a retainer from
the sugar kings and who had their ill
gotten gains jingling in their pockets.
Now, strange to say, an-elaborate news
uispatch has been sent out from Wash
ington as a feeler to prepare the way
for the free admission of Chinese cool
ies into those leprous Islands primarily
ana into the rest of our territory final
ly. The meaty part of the aforesaid
dispatch runs as follows: -
The great problem which -will ihortly confront
the people of the island of Hawaii and threaten
future development is that presented by the lack
f laborers, according to a treasury department
official, who has lust returned from Honolulu,
where he went with orders to pay ofl the public
debt of the island. He says also that the impor
tation of Porto Ricans has been a failure. Hun
dreds Of them have been brought to the island
with ihe expectation of putting them to work in
the sugar plantations. After a short time their
indolent habits resulted in their discharge from
employment. They have fattened up and look
better than when they arrived, but they refuse to
work and threaten to become public charges.
lne Chinese exclusion act keeps members of
that race from coming to the island, and yet the
government official believes the Chinese alone are
adapted to work in the sugar fields. When the
island was annexed by the United States, there
was a sufficient
number of Chinamen there to
handle the sugar crops. Since annexation the
acreage has increased to a surprising extent, and
the planters have been obliged to look elsewhere
for laborers. Experiments show that the negTO
from the -United States is not adapted to the
work, and the Porto Ricans were taken as an
other experiment Now it appears they have not
come up to expectations. The Hawaiiana place
their hope in the expiration of the terms of the
Chinese exclusion act and hope it will not be re
newed by act of congress. ,
'Now, that paragraph does two sepa
rate, distinct and rather startling things
It informs an amazed public that our
newly acquired subjects, the Porto
,Ricans, who are half in and half out of
the Union, are too lazy to work. That
will be an eye opener to many mis
guided patriots who have been hugging
the delusion that when we annexed
Porto Rico we did an unusually good
piece of business. Secondly, it upsets
all the philosophy and scientific conclu
sions of the past by proclaiming that
negroes do not make desirable laborers
in a tropical climate. Perhaps and
most likely neither of those things is
true, but it is necessary to cause both
to appear true in order to lay the
foundation for the scheme of admitting
hordes of Chinese coolies to our shores
in order to crowd out American white
and colored laborers. That is the end
which the Hawaiian sugar kings have
in view, an adequate supply of Chinese
cheap labor, and it is a most significant
fact that it is a prominent government
official who sends out the feeler. He
withholds his name . for prudential
reasons. If the feeler is well received,
others will chime in with similar re
marks to help educate congress up to
a proper frame of mind to do this un-
American thing. From all the signs of
the times Hawaii is to be made a sort
of governmental -experiment station.
If . a particular thing unprecedented
and outrageous is submitted to there,
then it will be tried on the rest of the
country. A monarchist delegate from
Hawaii Is tolerated in Washington
now. Later monarchists will appear in
congress from other sections of our
country "first a speck and then a vul
ture, till the air is black with vultures"
to borrow a simile from "Hiawatha.'
American eltlzens are to be familiar
ized with Chinese cheap labor In Ha
waiU where It -will-.be lauded as the
best.. Then other American kings be
sides the Hawaiian sugar kings will in
sist that that species of cheap labor
having been demonstrated to be the
best" for Hawaii must be best for the
whole country.
Vice is a monster of such frightful mien
As to be hated needs but to be seen;
' But seen too oft, familiar with her face,
. We' first endure, then pity, then embrace.
So It Is apt to be with Chinese cheap
labor. Unless the wage earner of this
country wakes up suddenly to the dan
ger that is impending: he will be a
modern Othello, for his occupation will
be gone gone to John Chinaman. If
the American laborer wakes up in time.
congress will Be very slow in admit
ting Chinese cheap labor without limit
Into Hawaii or any other place over
which Old Glory floats. Consequently
if our American laborers are crowded
out by the scum of the Mongolian race
It will be their own fault, They should
wake up and vote the Democratic tick

Not long since, when my brilliant and
eloquent friend, Senator Carmack of
Tennessee, in his speech at a presiden
tial banquet opportunely asserted that
he was weary of the gush about a re
united country as though it were a
brand new, fact and declared . boldly
ana witn great gooa sense mat iu
country had beep thoroughly reunited
for a generation, certain newspapers
represented that my other brilliant and
eloquent friend. Judge James M. Griggs
of Georgia, had hopped oato Carmack,
claiming that the latter had plagiarized
from him the idea at "least, whereupon
preferred my claim of priority over
both, setting forth that I made similar
antecedent declarations in my speech
Judge Griggs delivered bis speech on
another sublect at 2 p. m. of the same
day, in which he elaborated the idea
that the loyalty of .the south was not a
new thing growing out of the Spanish
war, but had beena. blessed fact for SO
years. I was so unfortunate as not to
hear that speech. "I say unfortunate
tfdvlsedly, for I always listen to the
judge with profit and delight But an
open confession is good for the souL
and I was so busy at 2 p.m. commit
ting my Blair speech to memory that
I failed to hear my distinguished friend
from Georgia. J have recently careful
ly read his speech on fhat occasion. It
is very fin and should be read by ev
ery one. Here are a few of its splen
did and glowing sentences: ,
Every sc of the people of the south, from Ap
pomattox to Santiago, has been s declaration of
devotion and a loyal sacrifice to the Union, and
nothing but the "blindness of unbelief bs pre
vented its acknowledgment long ago.
Neither the testament of bleeding war nor the
pomp and glitter of the president's march brought
harmony to the people of the Union.
The time has come in the evolution of sentiment
and feeling, -under the providence of God, when

fathers' bouse, and while the principles for which
they fought and the memory of their sacrinces are
dear to us still it is impossible tor us to enjoy
the hilarious feast and the tatted calf of the
prodigal's return. I have no authority to speak
for others, II r. Speaker, bot it would seem to roe
equally if not more difficult for the man who
laid down his arms in 13C5 and with the oath of
allegiance fresh from his lips and heart turned
his energies to the rehabilitation of his Eoms
and the re-estabUshment of the Union to enjoy a
prodigal's feast every day in the week and every
week in the fear, at so many of which he is made
to play the part of host and supply the tatted
call as well as the prodigal.
There Is an old saying which It would
not become me to quote about great
minds running in the same channel,
but thls-good natured squabble may be
explained on Mark Twain's theory if
it Is Mark's of mental telegraphy. I
say "if It is Mark's," for since the un
expected denouement of this Griggs-Carmack-Clark
performance I am not
certain that any particular person orig
inated any particular thing. But while
Judge Griggs was preparing his speech
our minds may have been in telegraph
ic communication like the Irishman

In the philosophy of the old adage that
"the early bird catches the worm."
