It is to be hoped that Judge
Clark was not imitating M. Blaine
when ha advised the destruction
of one of his letters.
As Messrs. Jackson & Bell
financed the Wilmington Mes
senger, they doubtless imagined
that they had a right to have pre
pared the literary menu.
If the lepublicans have their
way the Filipinos will be given
as fine a dose of Tsarpet-baggery
as was administered to the South
in reconstruction times.
It is doubtful if a majority of
the voters desire on the Supreme
Court a prosecuting attorney. .The
Democratic party had better ascer
tain this fact before they nomi
nate Judge Clark.
JUDGE CLARK'S LETTEHS.
The country has at last been
favored with the letters and notes
which Mr. J ust ice Walter Clark
wrote Governor Russell, and these
letters, with his CDmments, clearly
ana unmistakably snow Judge
Clark's unfitness for the high office
to Awhich he aspires with such
strenuosity.
These letters show what many
people have known for yeans, that
he is a busy-body that he is for
getful that the duties of a Supreme
Court Justice are to interpret laws
and not to execute them.
Some persons will contend that
most of the letters are harmless
and his injunction to Governor
Russell to destroy one was merely
a hiistake. A raglan cloak of
charity is required to stop at such
a term.
The Judge admits that the let
ter, if it foil into the hands of
others, was open to "misconcep
tion.' Ana so it was. Destroyed
u wouia enable the Judge to sit
on aWase about which he ha
eiecificaliy given ah" opinion. This
waS neither fair nor honest.
But Judge Clark's letter to his
comrade discloses a bias, a preju
dice that should make him an un
fit man to sit on any case where
me ooutnern railway is concfmd
The tenor of the entire IaHpp i
to aronse a prejudice against the
lauroaas ana m favor of himself.
Even the most pi o Clark man must
admit that this road andlnpaTl
all corporate interests should be
suspicious if not actively hostile
to him. ' . 1
, The Judge is silent on two or
it.. i
mree cnarges about which the
.. 1 - '
peopie aesire mfo.-mation.
;1. Did he write or inspire edi
' torials in the Caucassian!
2. Did he strive to have-the
r fusion Legislature elect him Sena-
toi! -
3. Did he request Thompson U
ask Governor Russell to appoint
him Chief Justice!
4. What was his opinion of Sena
tor Simmonsf :
These charges have beeu made.
Must the people ! infer from his
silence that they are .true!
Will you tell us, Judge Clark!
"Dr. Talmage, during his visit
ta England in 1879,'? says the Lon
Chronicle, ' had been engaged to
reach in a church in one of the
large towns of England. On ar
riving at the building b found
it besieged by a throng of from
15,000 to 20,000 people. Natural
ly be expected the place would be
crowded inside; instead' of this he
was surprised to find if only mod ,
erately full. 'Why,1 he demand
ed of the pastor, 'don't you let
this crowd of people tome in!'
'Oh,' said he.Veach person inside
has paid four shillings to get in.'
Dr. Talmage- had intended to
preach ; frt m Ihe text : Without
money and without pike.' lie
changed his subject.''
Not long' ago the United States
Minister in Athens, the lion. C.
H. Francis, entertained at dinner
the King and Queen of Greece,
the Crown Priai e, the other rnvai
piinces and all the high officers f
tlie court. This compliment tp
the American Legation is unex
ampled, as the King a'bd Queen
have never before accepted invita
tions to dine at any Legation, ex
cept those of England and Russia.
-f-
Heury Laie Eno, of New tork.
has presented to Rear Admiral V,
8. Schley a gold coin found on t e
-battlefield of Marathon. The coin
is an irregular circle about half an
inch in diameter. On one side is
the head of Alexander the Great
and on the other is a figure of
Victory. The coin is of the very
rarest.
WASHINGTON LETTER.
Prom Oar kesuiar Correspondent. 1 -
Washington, May 12, 1902.
'The bill reported by the Philip
ninA f!nirimittf is one of the most
iniquitous hieasuies ever presented
to a Congress of the United States,
said Senator Dubois, ol Idaho, yes
terday, when I asked him his'
opinion of the bill itself. -"By the
provisions of the bill a commis-
sion, composea oi mree men, is
given the most absolute powers
over the Filipinos and their lands.
The edicts of the commission will
become laws unless they are nega
tively acted upon by Congress and,
even if Congress had the time it
would be impossible for it to judge,
of these edicts at this distance,
8,000 miles away. These three
men can grant franchises to whom
ever they see fit and require in re
turn for the same such compensa
tion or no compensation as they
choose. They can lease land in
immense tracts to corporations for
Whatever rental they desire. They
can errant the privileges of cutting
timber to such corporations as
they may choose to befriend and
on such terms as iney may be dis
posed to make. It is ridiculous
to say that the Democrats are op
posing a step towards the self
government to which they believe
the FiliDinos are entitled. The
Democrats are doing all in their
power to save the Filipinos from
being delivered to an oligarchy
which can sell them, body and
soul, from whose actions they have
no redress, from a despotic gov
ernment in which they have abso
lutely no voice. ,
"A careful reading of the Philip
pine bill will convince any intel
ligent person that the Philippine
Commission, should the bill be
come i a law, would have powers
that are today possessed by no
European ruler save, perhaps, the
Russian Czar. . There are in the
Philippines millions of acres of
rich agiicultural lands, more than
there is in the United States west
of the Missouri river, and th
other resources of the islands are
beyond computation, and so long
as human nature remains human
natuie the defecation of such
plenipotentiary power to a com
mission composed of a few favored
maiviauals is bound to result in
corruption. .It is folly to plead
the high character of the present
commission. Its members may all
be dead in a mouth. As a general
proposition, it is evident that the
best men in the United StaUs are
not going to forsake their homes
and their business interests and
go to the Philippines to adminis
ter qie affairs of the islands. .The
nren who setk those positions will
be the usual class of place-hunters
who regularly besiege the Presi
dent for positions which crrv
handsome salaries. The passage
of this bill will inevitably result
In scandals frem which the fair
name of the - United States will
long suffer."
All last week in the Senate was
spent m debating the Philirmm
bill and the prospects are that all
this week will be spent in the same
way. senator Dubois tells me that
he expects to address the 9ntp,
on the subject and Senator Bailey
t l"lt ne wou,d probably
do so: Senator Foraker will Bteak
for the. republicans and nrnhai.1.
Senator Spoouer. The Democrats
feel that they will be derelict in
their duty if they do ot com
pletely expote to" the public the
situation in the islands and th
probable results of the republican
policy which is un-American in
every detail. -
The sudden death of three Demo
cratic members of the House of
Representatives early, last week,
Messrs. Cummings, Otey and Sal
mon, seemed about to be followed
by another on Friday when dele
gate Smith, of Arizona, exhausted
with his efforts in behalf of the
Territorial Omnibus bill, conclud
ed a speech in favor of the bill and
fell insensible with a slight stroke
of apoplexy. Fortunately, how
ever, Mr. Smith soon showed signs
of recovery and is now regarded,
by his physicians as outof danger.
The bill passed j the House with
the provisions, that the constitu
tional convention of New Mexico
might change the name of that
territory on its becoming arState,
and that the convention ofOkla
homa should adopt an irrevocable
statute to the effect that the Fed
eral government should hav th
privilege of attaching to the new
State any or all of Indian Terri
tory at any time.
Out of respect to its deceased
members the House transacted to
business on Monday and Tuesday
and the passage ,6f the territorial
bill practically concluded its labors
for the week. On Friday afternoon
the private pension calendar was
cleared and on Saturday eulogies
were pronounced on the lat? Rep

be followed by the Naval appro
priation bill which will doubtless
occupy some time. There Isa
provision in the bill, as reported
from the committee on Naval
Affairs, whereby the Secretary of
the Navy is authorized at his dis
cretion to build one or more of the
new battleships in government
navy yards. This provision is ap-;
proved by the labor organizations
but is opposed by the republican
machine iu the House, and In the
Senate by Senators Hanna .and
McMillan who are stockholders of
the Trust which now constructs
the naval vessels ot the United
States. -
