wanamaker Again Talks


President Mckinley in a speech in Phila
delphia before the Pan Americans alluded to
pessimists in the party. Some thought he had
Elk Postmaster General Wanamaker in his
mind, and Mr.. Wanamaker was interviewed
by the New York Herald on Tuesday. He
seemed reluctant to talk at first, but later
talked freely, and he drew a dismal picture
of the present conditions when prosperity was
promised and the country ought now to be
enjoying it. The Herald reported him in
part as follows
s.Much as love quietness and peace, i is
not possible for me to be indifferent or silent
in the present condition of affairs. Neither
can take or give opiates.
To keep work for the six thousand and
more persons in my employ and turn away
from the several hundred who appear daily
and beg for the privilege of labor to keep the
wolf from the door, drives me into fever and
| must speak out
cannot sit on fence with stiff wind
blowing and whistle for prosperity, the van
ished bird of beautiful plumage. to come
back.
She has been gone FIVE long years. How
any can live on forever i'll thunder storm
don't know,
In these times campaign speeches are only
empty shells without kernels. However well
meaning or whoever it is who thinks he does
good by them must be forgetting that mil
lion of workmen and their children are hun
CRY. The man who looks for bread in such
speeches will not have much 10 eat.
The public heart cannot be fired by elo-
quence in this way Just now, for the powder
of patriotism is wet with the tears of the suf-
fering unemployed. Give me hold of some
bodyis hand who will do something, not talk
about it, month after month.
We ought to have a new, better tariff; but
If we cannot get it let us settle down on the
old one and adjust ourselves to IT as best we
can. If we cannot move out of the old house,
we might build wing to it or add another
story. Far better that than veXing Uncertain
ties.
A Republican House has been in session
since last December, and its riddled bill still
losses about at the other end of the Capitol.
Gathering ourselves together also on the
monetary question cannot be done too soon.
There is no use sending delegations to foreign
nations until we have some definite PROPOSE
ton to make.
Let authority be given Immediately for a
monetary commission to determine what the
United States wants to do on the money ques-
ton, and then let us go after it and get it as
promptly as possible.
Tito be impatient is unpatriotic, when the
delays are so protracted and seemingly I'M
necessary in adjusting these two great ques--
tons uppermost in the public mind, then
must ask to be forgiven for miscounting the
pulse of most of the people that | meet.
There are not few who believe that since
the war no such exigencT fell upon the coun.
try as that which preceded the election OF
November, 1896.
The spirit which moved the people then is
still alive 1t will neither be ignored nor
dallied with The tariff, money, economy OF
expenditures must be arranged fairly and
promptly if we are to find contentment OF
prosperity"
The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1897-06-12
Was He Dreaming ?

Hon. Robert C. Davidson, ex-Mayor of
Baltimore, (and in passing we may remark
that he makes an excellent ex-Mayor) has
gone into print again and is talking on the
money question. He must have been dream
ing, for he declared the election of Mckinley
would mean sound and stable currency and
abundant prosperity. In fact he said last fall
that he personally had knowledge of many
millions that were to be invested in enterprises
in Baltimore as soon as Mckinley was elected
and Banker Brown said he alse knew of many
millions that were to be spent in the monu-
mental city in the event of McKinley's cleo
ton.
Mckinley was returned elected and is now
President, and is as much the Chief Executive
as though he had been fairly elected. He
has been in office over three months, and a
Republican House of Representatives has
been in session since the 9th of December.
committee of that house spent over three
months in framing tariff bill that is to add
to the wealth and happiness of the people by
increasing their taxes. Besides, the Presi-
dent has sent abroad, at considerable expense
to the people, commission to talk with the
governments of Europe about money matters.
1t is true they have no special instructions,
but they will have good time and to give
the people good time was the object in elect
ing Mckinley. The new tariff law is framed
to enrich trusts and monopolies, with revenue
to the government as an incident, but McKin-
lev was elected in order that trusts and monop-
olies might flourish,
Mr.. Davidson was either dreaming or was
badly reported. The silver question is dead,
because Mckinley election meant death to it,
We have a sound and stable currency, to
insure which Mckinley was elected.
Money is plenty and the people are pros
porous and happy, for McKinleys election
meant that, too.
Confidence is restored. 1t is not certain
that Mr.. Davidsons trust company is lOaning
much money on confidence, but confidence
is restored, and there can be no mistake
about it,
The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1897-06-12
INVESTIGATION ENDED
Believed that Charges Made Against
Custom House Officials Will
Not Be Sustained.
From the Baltimore sun.


A second investigation was held Wednes-
day at the custom house by Special Treasury
Agents Martin and Cross, when an inquiry
was made into charges preferred by VIM. ii.
Mills. who was discharged last April by Col
lector Frank I. Shaw from his position of
laborer in the public store, against the Off
cials of the custom house OF purloinlng liquor
from the stock of large wholesale firm, whose
place of business is in the vicinity Of the public
store. Charges were also made by Mills
against James A. Diffenbaugh, deputy coll
leetor, of having fitted up two rooms in the
customs building for the purpose of entertain
ing his friends.
Several witnesses we're examined, among
them being member of the liquor firm who
testified that there had never been any liquors
taken dishonesty from his place by the en-
ployes of the custom house. Mr.. Diffenbaugh
Shove that the rooms mentioned had been
fitted up with the approval Of the Treasury
Department. permission for so doing having
been first requested. Later it was thought
best to withdraw the privilege, although regret
had subsequently been expressed by several
commissions of inquiry that this had been
done.
The special agents finished their work in
the afternoon and it was stated that they would
report to the Treasury Department that the
charges were not sustained. Atterward they
visited the office of Congressman w. W. Me-
Intre.
The discharge of Mills was due to a letter
he is said to have written to Senator Yelling
ton some time ago, telling him that he was
ready to furnish information upon which a
number of the Democrats III the custom house
could be discharged. The letter was for
warded to Collector Shaw. Mills admitted
having written the letter and his dismissal
followed

Acknowledges A Defect.

The article on ''Sham Reform, published
by authority of the Democratic Editors Asso-
citation in the Democratic press of Maryland
last week, brought forth from John C. Rose,
who was charged with manipulating the law
so as 10 give Republican election officers prae
teal control of the colored voters. a statement
that the omission of the oath of seeresy from
the present election and registration law is
"a defect 1t is more than defect. 1t
was purposely designed to destroy the very
essence of the principle upon which the Aus
tralian system rests, and it was accomplished
in the stealthly manner that the Eastern
Shore Senatorial law was repealed. That
repeal was not known to the people until
some months after, and its discovery was a
revelation to all the Democrats in the Legis-
ture and TO most of the Republicans. And
the outrage on the ballot and free and fair
elections perpetrated By the omission of the
oath of secresy was not known until the fact
was published last week.
Of course Mr.. Rose denies all knowledge
of how or why the law was so altered.

rhe President,s opportunity


On january last delegation Of colored
men called upon Mr.. Mckinley, President
elect or President. eounted-in, at Canton and
asked him to express in his inaugural address,
or in message to Congress, disapproval OF
the lvnehings of colored men in the South
Mr.. Mckinley said he was glad the delegation
had called, that the request was proper one
for consideration, and that he would remem-
Der the subject in some official way. And
he did. too. Here is what he said in his in
augural address
"The constituted authorities must be
cheerfully and vigorously upheld. Lynch
ings must not be tolerated in great and
civilized country like the United States
courts-not mobs-must execute the pen
alties of the law
In the Presidents own state, Ohio, in Ur-
bana, town that gave him very large ma
iority. on Friday last occurred heinous
offense by colored man, followed by an at
tempt TO lynch the offender, the calling out OF
soldiers. who fred upon the mob, killing two
persons outright and woundiag seriously
several others, and the subsequent lynching
of the Negro The populace was so enraged
and incensed at the Sheriff, Mayor and Gov
ernor in calling out the troops and the shoot
ing down of citizens they beat almost to death
the Negro before he could be strung up.
No occurrence in the South, the section
Mr.. Mckinley had IN his mind when ne wrote
that part of his inaugural about lynchings, IN
response to the request of the colored dele
CATION that visited him at Canton, has equaled
that at Urbana. Yet, not word has been
heard from the President, who solemnly pro-
claimed that "courts, not mobs, must exc
cute the penalties of the law" In view OF
bis declaration that ''lynchings must not be
tolerated in a great and civilized country like
the United States it is passing strange that
he has not taken official notice of this outrage
in his own state.
If he meant what he said in his inaugural
address, and was not merely endeavonng to
satisfy with lip service race without whose
votes he could not have carried half dozen
states of the Union, he should have acted
promptly. Congress is in session, and he
could have readily communicated the fact to
that body that the great state of Ohio was
unable to suppress violence and guarantee
that ''courts, not mobs, should execute the
penalties of the law Under his oath of office
he was bound to communicate this fact, and
Congress is bound to guarantee republican
form ofgovernment to the states of the Union.
Mr. Mckinley, instead of giving force and
effect to his inaugural utterances, is now en-
ioying the attractions of the Nashville Expo
sition.
Perhaps it is some difference to the Presi-
dent whether the outrage is committed in the
North or in the South.
