Underwood Right Sort f
Leader
(Continued From Page One.)
not believe he should have put his
coulter in so deep.
Senator Simmons enjoyed the Bry
an-Underwood clash. He essayed to
criticise the house leader for stand
ing for a tariff board and embarrass
ing the senate, and was roundly de
nounced by some of his foes tor it,
' Now that Bryan, the antiquated
idol of the party, has called Mr. Un
derwood a traitor ,he wears the smile
that won't come off. In the Under
wood-Bryan row he doubtless sym
pathized with the Alabamian.
All of the North Carolinians, save
Messrs. Kitchin and Stedman, who
room close together, think exactly
alike, and have the same stenograph
er, were with Mr.. Underwood at the
outset. The entire delegation is for
the committee bill.
Five democrats asked to ; be. ex
cused from the action of the party
caucus. They are AshDrook, Sharp.
and Francis, of Ohio, and Rucker, of
California, all of whom had promised
to not vote to lower the tariff on wool
and Gray, of Indiana, who favors
free wool.
This bill will be passed by the
house and passed up to the senate,
where it may die from sheer neglect.
The view of Mr. Mann, minority
leader, is interesting. In discussing
the bill he said:.
'It will demoralize the woolen
trade and wool protection. It will
ruin the wool producer and not save
the manufacturer. It will permit
foreign wool growers to successfully
Invade the American market so as
drive out the American wool pro
ducer, but will not permit the Amer
ican manufacturer to buy wool cheap
enough to Invade a foreign market
or even to protect himself In the
American market. The bill is neith
er flesh, fish, nor fowl.
"It violates alike the republican
doctrine of protection and the demo
cratic doctrine of a tariff for reve
nue. It seeks to give a mild form of
protection, which is insufficient as a
protection, but is sufficient to pre
vent the manufacturer getting the
cheapest raw materials. It will not
meet the approval of those who be
lieve in holding the American market
for Americans; and it ought not to
meet the approval of those who claim
to believe that protection Is a form
of legalized robbery."
Congressman Adamson returned
from Georgia just In time to get In
the Bryan-Underwood fight. , He had
no hesitancy in speaking his senti
ments, and these are favoraoie to
Underwood. He said:
"I have read with very great pleas
ure the statesmanlike interview with
Mr. Underwood. I have just returned
from Georgia and find the people
enthusiastic In their praises of Champ
Clark and Oscar Underwood for their
wise statesmanship and superb lead
ership. ; I have been for Clark for
president for many years, but if for
any reason we fail to get him I am
for Underwood. No more level
headed man has sought or held the
presidency in 50 yea,rs. There are
two ways to fatten the protected
trusts. One is by raising the exclus
ive rates of duty on their finished
product, the other is to rob the treas
ury to enable them to buy their raw
materials cheaper. The people do
not eat raw wool nor wear raw wool.
They use blankets and woolen goods.
Whenever you put them on the free
list I am willing to put raw wool on
the free list. The democratic party
is not a party of free trade. It be
lieves in honest, fair, taxation for
the support of the government only.
It is abominable to pander to pro
tection, either by raising the rates
on its finished products or putting its
raw material on the free list. The
trusts alone would benefit by free
wool. They would sell the finished
product no cheaper, while the treas
ury would lose J21.000.000 of rev
enue.":
The members of the senate dele
gation are interested in certain
claims pending before congress.
Representative John H. Small has
introduced two bills appropriating a
sum of money to be paid to the legal
representatives of Hon. Jesse R.
Stubbs, of Williamston. N. C. and
Col. T. C. Fuller, of Raleigh, N. C,
who were elected in North Carolina
In the latter part of 1865 to serve as
representatives from the state In the
39th congress, but who were not per
mitted to serve.
Hon. Harry W. Stubbs. of William
ston, is in the city, and' he, together
with Representative Small and Capt.
S. A. Ashe, have been Investigating
the records and also the law bearing
upon the case. It appears that early
in 1865, after peace was restored.
President Johnson issued a proclama
tion appointing W. W. Holden pro
visional goyernor, and directing him
to hold an election for the nurnose
of convening the constitutional con
vention, with a view to restoring the
state to its constitutional relation
with the federal government. This
state convention was convened and
by ordlnanace of October 10 ,1865,
an election was held on November 9,
1865, in which were elected state of
ficers and also seven members to the
United. States house of representa
tives. These members elected to
congress were Jesse R. Stubbs,
Charles C. Clark, Thomas C. Fuller,
Josiah Turner, Jr., Bedford Brown,
S. H. Walkup, and Alex. H. Jones.
ine asm congress convened, on the
first Monday in December, 1865.' The
commissions to the seven members
elected were Issued in 1866 by Gov
ernor-elect Jonathan Worth.
It is a matter of history that con
tress repudiated the action of Presl
dent Johnson and declined to admit
any of the southern states to repre
sentation In congress, except, upou
certain conditions, therefore, neith
er Colonel Fuller nor Mr. Stubbs, nor
the other members-elect, were per
mittqd to qualify. In fact th estate
wac denied representation in con.
eress altoxether.
Whether congress will now make
an appropriation to pay the salaries
of these members may be an open
question, but both Mr. Small and
Capt. Ashe are of the opinion that
these are valid claims. They base
their opinion upon these propositions.
Under the construction of the con
stitution by the supreme court of the
United States, the states of the late
Confederacy had never been out of
the Union, but remained an integral
part of same. These members were
elected under the authority of a con-i
vention duly convened and there was
no question as to the fact of their
election or their qualifications for
the position. While both houses of
congress are by the terms of the
constitution the sole judges of the
qualifications of their members, still
this does not go to the extent of de
nying representation to a state in
toto. Most, interesting questions are
raised by these claims, and if the
committees and congress can be in
duced to give them careful considera
tion upon their merits, it is believed
that at least a prima facie case can
be made and certainly a grievous
wrong committed at the time would
be corrected.

WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS.
Issued by Officers for Mrs. Muckloe
for Release From Sanitarium
Placed in Confinement for Insanity
For Western Carolina Fair.
(Special to The Times.)
Asheville, N. C, June 3 The writ
of habeas corpus which was recently
issued for Mrs. Alice Muckloe against
Dr. R. S. Sorreli for the release of
Mrs. Muckloe from Dr. Carroll's san
itorium is attracting considerable at
tention here.
The writ was made on the affidavit
of Police Captain Jordan and signed
by Judge Frank Carter, of the super
ior court and was served upon Dr.
Carroll a few days ago. .When the
case was called Thursday afternoon
the attorneys for Dr. Carroll present
ed affidavits of Dr. Carroll to the ef
fect that the woman had been com
mitted to his sanitarium by the clerk
of the court on the strength of an
affidavit of a nurse of Mrs, Muckloe,
that it was to tlie best interest of the
community that she be confined. Dr.
Carroll stated that he was complying
with the law. Judge Carter an
nounced that he would have the wo
man examined by a board of physi
cians to determine as to her sanity.
In the meantime Mrs, Muckloe is in
the custody of the sheriff and is
staying with a friend. -
The affidavit of the police captain
was to the effect that there was rea
son to believe that Mrs. Muckloe was
being deprived of her liberty. It is
said that she has a comfortable in
come. There was a committee meeting
held Thursday in the interest of the
Western North Carolina Fair, at
which Thomas J. Abbott, who has
had considerable experience in this
linesubmitted various plans for
consideration. The committee felt
tbat there is a bright outlook either
fbr a fari for Western Norh Caro
lina or only for the county of Bun
combe. It has not yet been decided
which will be undertaken.
The committee will work In pairs

building as much as Hendereonvllle.
The moll Is now bandied In a small
storeroom, where the employes' are
much crowded. It is said that more
than 2,000,000 . pieces of mall was
