Especial Washington Letter.l

There is great deal of humbug in
the proceedings of congress; and the
people ought to know it.
1t often happens that some subject
is debated for days and days in the SEN
ate and house of representatives, and
II ali ends in talk, without the enact
ment of law.
There is a reason for this. 1t is plain
to close observers. The statesmen
never intended, from the first, that any
Thing should happen, except time-kill-

the subject, ascertain all Of the facts,
take particular interest in the theme
and reach conclusions, they will be
about right. Then, when political CAM
paigns are fought, they will instruct
their representatives what to do. and it
will be done. Many a public question
has thus been settled in the debating
societies long before the statesmen were
able to reach conclusions thereon. They
usually obey popular opinion as soon as
it crystallizes so that they cannot mis-
take it.
1t has been the care Of the narrator
of this story to refrain from expires.
sions of opinion. This is merely mar
ration of facts as they appear to one
who is closely observing public men and
public affairs. The reader will not
reach the conclusion that all men in
congress are insincere. or that a majori.
ty of them are not in earnest in their
congressional utterances. Nevertheless,
it is true that on this subject, and on
many other subjects, speeches are made,
as Congressman Sunset Cox once said,
'for home consumption"
By that he meant that many speeches
are made here, not for the purpose Of
affecting legislation, but for the pur-
pose of having the people at home read
the speeches and consider what great
men they have sent to the national pi-
tai to represent them. With this under
standing. the people who read congress
sional debates will give them such
weight as they deserve.

CONSTITUENTS OF TILLMAN
GUST THE NEGRO POSTMASTER
FROM OFFICE
The Most Revolving and Cowardly
Crime Ever Perpetrated in State
Already Infamous

ATLANTA, Ca, Feb ga special from
Columbia, s. c., to the Constitution says:
The most revolving crime ever perpe-
trated by white men in South Carolina was
committed at Lake City, Williamsburg
county, at l o'clock this morning, when
Postmaster Baker, negro, and his fam
lily were burned out of their home. the
postmaster and babe In his arms killed.
his wife and three daughters shot and
MANNED for life. Baker was appointed
postmaster three months ago. Lake City
Is town of 400 inhabitants, and the negro
population in the vicinity is large. There
was protest at Bakers appointment, but
It was not a very vigorous one. Three
months ago, as the postmaster was leav-
ing the Office at night, in company with
several colored men, he was fired on from
ambush, but it was not known that the
would-be assassin was prompted by other
than personal malice. Since then Baker
moved his family into a house on the out
skirts of the town, where he also estab-
lished the postoffice. Last Tuesday body
OF men, who kept concealed behind build
ings and fences in the neighborhood, rid
died the building with shot and rife bull
let's. They shot high, but no one was hurt,
and 1t was supposed to convey warning
1t was short time before Senators TILL

Horton had asked the postmaster general
to remove Baker because of his color, and
the request had been refused. Baker did
not move his family and gave no evidence
of being frightened. He felt confident Of
protection from Washington.
At o'clock this morning a torch was ap-
piled to the postoffice and Bakers house.
Behind 1t, and just within the line of light,
were over 100 white men, armed with pistols
and shotguns. BY the time the fire aroused
the sleeping family, consisting of the post
master, his wife. four daughters a son and
an infant at the breast, the crowd began
firing into the building. A hundred bullet
holes were made through the thin boarding
and many of the missiles found lodgment
in the people within. Baker was the first
to reach the door, and he fell dead just
within the threshold, being shot in several
places. The mother had the baby in her
arms and had reached the door over her
husbands body when a bullet crashed
through the infants skull and 1t fell to the
floor. The mother was shot in several
places. Two of the girls had their arms
broken close to the shoulders and will prob
ably lose them. Another of the girls is
believed to be fatally wounded. The boy
Is shot. Two of the seven occupants of
the house escaped with slight injuries. The
bodies of Baker and the infant were Gre
mated in the building. All mail matter was
destroyed.
A coroner's jury was empaneled this
evening, and 1t visited the charred remains
and adjourned till Saturday. There is bit
ter Indignation expressed everywhere.
