Kansas City Kegrs la A Dellber.
ale Fabrtratloa Oat of Ike Waste
Cloi."
Cor. Charlotte Ubserrer.
Washington, Mar. 3. Represent,
tive Webb, of North Carolina, to-day
diverted the minds of his colleagues
from the commqnplace Efttrict of Co
lumbia afmropriatioikbill by reading a
Tetter from former President Cleveland,
who in scathing terms denied having
lunched with the negro Taylor at the
White House. Said Mr. Webb:
"Mr. Chairman, a man in trouble
often attempts to get himself out by
tryiDg to pull others in. This was evi
dently the intention of the gentleman
from Kansas (Mr. Scott) when be
stated on the floor of this House (on
his own authority) that Mr. Cleveland
had invited a negro by the name of
Taylor to lunch with him, and that
Tt t sail .
layior am so. ine gentleman, lq
terms, makes this, statement several
times in the course of his argument.
On Tuesday morning, as .soon as The
Congressional Record reached me, con
taining tbe gentleman's statement, I
wrote to Mr. Cleveland to know if it
was true that he had lunched with the
negro Taylor, as stated by Mr. Scott.
I enclosed a copy of what tbe gentle
man from Kansas said; this morning I
received the following reply:
Pris ceton, March 2, 1904.
Hon. E. Y. Webb, House of Repre
sentatives. "Dear Sir: "It is a matter of small
concern to me that a fir. Scott has seen
fit to use my name in display ' of his
evil propensities on the floor . of the
House of Representatives. In answer
to your inquiry, however, I have to say
oi bis statement that tbe colored man
C. II. J. Taylor, took lunch with me at
the White House, that it is a deiiber
ate fabrication out of the whole cloth
As far as Mr. Taylor is concerned,
understand prior to his appointment as
Register of Deed at Washington that
he had served as an assistant in the of.
fice of the cfty attorney at Kansas City
ins nomination as register was con
firmed by the Senate, and he served in
that place with intelligence and iffio
lency. lie has since died. Some peo
pie restrain themselves from abusing
the dead. My inquiries concerning
Hr. Taylor before his appointment, my
observation oi mm during bis incum
bency and the little I have known of
him since, satisfy me that his character
is unjustly attacked in the diatribe of
Mr. Scott. One charge is made against
Mr. Taylor by. Mr. Scott, which he
doubly clinches with truth when he de
Clares: 'lie was a black negro . 1 am
led, however, to doubt his familiarity
with bis subject when he adds,
black as you ever saw.'
Yours very truly,
Grover Cleveland,
"It is said that falsehood travels
around the earth, while truth is pulling
on its boots, but I want this truth, as
stated in Mr. Cleveland's letter, as far
as possible, to travel in the same chan
nels as the falsehood has traveled, and
it may be, in many minds, the fabrica
tion will be overtaken and destroyed,
Mr. Cleveland was a friend to the ne
... ... . .
gro, out not a "tool mend.' He never
by word or act encouraged the dream
of social equality in the breast of the
black man. Again, he was the friend
of the colored man, but he was. also the
friend of the Southern white man, and
sympathized with us in our race prob
terns and race burdens, and that, sir, is
more than Mr. Roosevelt seems ever to
have done."
Political Washington has manifested
very decided interest in this Cleveland
letter. Some professed to see in the
letter some things of undoubted politi
cal import, as showing the former Dem
ocratic President to be in a receptive
frame of mind respecting the presi
dential nomination. By way of forti
fying this point, it was asserted this
was the first time that Mr. Cleveland
has shown a disposition to sit up and
take notice when things were said about
him, and that on this occasion he had
not only come forward very promptly,
but had shown some feeling.
Asked if he thought the inference
that Mr. Cleveland had the presidential
nomination in mind when be wrote the
letter, Senator Simmons said that Mr.
Cleveland might, if he had any polit
ical motive in writing the letter, have
simply thought the letter would have
tendency to win back the regard of
many people of the South, when bis
policies bave encountered so much op
This incident having brought the
subject to tbe front, many have ex
pressed the opinion to-day that Mr.
Cleveland would be very glad to receive
the nomination and John G. Carlisle
told some of his frijbdg that if Mr.
Cleveland were nominated be would
carry New York by 1($000.
Mr. Scott, who made the charge that
Mr. Cleveland had lunched with the
negro Taylor, withdrew his remark in
tendering his apology to Mr. Cleveland,

Bulled Fine to Boy's Furs.
A gaunt looking beaker boy was
recently brought before a Squire in a
coal mining town of the Kew River
District of West Virginia on the charge
of having killed one of the 'acred"
turkey buzzards, which are the only
scavengers of that country.
After severely reprimanding the boy
the old Squire, who was a German, paid :
"I fine you ten dollars!"
"I hain't got that much," rej lied
the boy.
"Den I fine you fife dollars!" .
"I hain't got five dollars."
"Vel, how much haf you got?"
"Three dollars and stventy-five
cents."
"All right; den I fine you three dol
lars and sewty-rive cents!"
Inflammatory H lit u ma Ham Cured.
William Shaffer, a brakenian of Den
nison, Ohio, was confined to his bed for
several weeks with inflammatory rheu
matism. "I used many remedies," he
says. "Finally I sent to McCaw's drag
store for a bottle of Chamberlain's Pain
Balm, at which time I was unable to
use hand or foot, and in one week's
time was able to go to work vs happy as
a clam. For sale by M. L. Marsh.
Wasted Hlas I Get "Noledge."
The Danbury Reporter says that a
Stokes county teacher received the fol
lowing note from the mother of one of
her pupils: "Dear Miss: You writ me
about whipping Sammy. I bereby give
you permission to beet him up eny time
it is necessary to learn him lessens. He
is just like his father you bave to lern
him with a clubb. Pound noledge into
him I want him to git it, and don't pay
no attenshun to what his father sez, I'll
handle him."

Disgrace la the Stale.

That public execution at Whiteville
last week was a reproach to the State.
More than two thousand people, men,
women, children and babes in arms
jostled each other in crowds to se the
condemned man launched into eternity,
and many had traveled in wagons all
niht to see the show I God pity us, if
this is the test of our civilization ! After
all, are we any more civilized than cur
ancestor who roamed the forests in a
naked condition ?
