Chariton courier. (Keytesville, Chariton County, Mo.) 1878-current, 1899-03-03

BAKER Carrie Hamilton Gardner
was born in Charlton county, Novem-
bT 9TH, 1886, aAd died of consump-
ton at her home in Keytesviile, Satur-
day, February 25th, 1899, at $40
O'Clock a. m. She was united IN mar
riage to James Baker, December 10th,
1872. To this union four children
were born-three boys and one girl
only the latter of whom, now Mrs. J.
w. Redd of this city, is living. In
1880 Mrs. Baker joined the Little Hill
Methodist church, some IL or II
miles northeast of Keytesville, but sub
seauently changed her membership to
the Baptist church in Keytesville.
During her long illness Mrs. Baker
bore her afliction without a murmur,
and it was due to her patience, hope
fulness and appreciation that made it
such a pleasure to her family and
sympathizing neighbors and friends to
do everything in their power to make
her lot in life all that it could be under
the distressing circumstances of her
protracted illness. Funeral services,
pathetic and eloquent, were conducted
at the family residence last Sunday
morning at 10 O'Clock by Rev. H. H.
Hulten of Salisbury. The remains
were laid to rest IN the Bennett grave
yard, five miles northeast ot'thls place,
Sunday, shortly after the noon hour.

loved friend.

To Deliver the speech Of Welcome tO
the TO Meet In Chicago,
His Reasons and Comments Thereon

Chicago, July 17.-Mayor Carter H.
Harrison today sent the following let
ter to the committee in charge of ar
rangements for the democratice meet
ing at the auditorium July Goth.
wv. F. Cooling, Esq, Chairman Com
mittee Of Arrangements.
Dear Sir:-Replying to your favor
of the 14th instant in which you ask
me to deliver an address of welcome at
the auditorium July Goth to the nation
al democrats of America, l regret my
inabaility to accept. In ordinary cir
cumstances, l should be only too glad,
both as mayor of Chicago and as a
democrat to welcome the national COM
mittee or any prominent democrats to
Chicago,the city in which the platform
Of 1896 was framed and in which w.
J. Bryan was elevated to his present
leadership of the national democracy.
| cannot but think, however, it would
be an absurdity to welcome those dis
tinguished men under the auspices OF
a self-constituted committee whose
p6TSOuuel IS IOO OUSCuIS W Ut hIoWh
even in it's home city. Had this meet
ing been organized under the direction
of democrats of regular type and known
party standing it would have afforded
me great pleasure to be present. In
the existing case, while thanking you
for the honor, l must beg leave to be
excused.
Respectfully yours,
CARTER HARRISON.
When a copy of Mayor H%arrison's
letter was shown Ex-Governor Altgeld,
the latter said:
Il am sorry the mayor looks at it
that way. He has made a grave mis-
take. He has lost a golden op%portuni-
ty. Should he come to the meeting
and make a rousing democratic speech,
he would place himself at the head OF
the democratic party Of the state; but
he has lost the chance now. I'm sorry
for it."
When Mr.. Cooling read the mayors
letter he made the following statement:
I'VE have given the young man in
the city hall the opportunity Of his
life, which he has failed to appreci-
ate. There is a tide in the affairs OF
men which taken at the flood leads on
to fortune-the son of Carter Harrison
has ceased to be a democrat possibly"

were from disinterested persons whose
opinions must carry weight.

are asked to indorse. The Cuban bonds the same
as they were when Congress declared "the Cubans
are and of right ought to be independent" The in
surgents are better morally and politi-
caly than they when placed them beside our
continental army. Not an Ethiopian mongrel among
them has changed his skin. They no less quail
fed for independence than when Congress declared
they were and of right ought to be independent
They are no more ignorant of aphabets than
then In no respect particular has the situation
changed, so far their right to independence goes,
since we promised it to them. We said nothing then
about only the intelligent among them having
voice in public affairs. We have discovered nothing
in them that was not known when our promise was
made.
True it is the law of nations that public debts are
not repudiated by change Of sovereignty. The is
sue presented is whether by forcibe annexation
against the will OF the real majority OF the people
will divert the wealth of the island to the enrichment
OF few favored American exploiters or by keeping
pledge will permit the people to compound or
repudate the Cuban bonds they please, either de-
voting the wealth of the island their payment in
whole in part, by reputation keeping that
wealth for themselves.
We are strong enough to repudiate the Cuban
bonds we are dshonorabe enough to repudiate our
own solemn pledge of independence. But let us go
about it frankly and not with a foursack mask such
as stage robbers
1t is not true that France, where most of these
bonds are held, could as a Government make such
display OF force as Cuba unaided could not dream
of resisting" II she could under the law of nations
appear as the armed collector of claims held by ndi
viduals that right is in the least affected by
nexation OF Cuba to the United States 1t would
main a slumbeEng of war, to be used in
any time of national weakness or peril that might
come to
There is no modern case OF nation appearing
under such circumstances as bill collector. The
English management of Egyptian finances is not such
case. No foreign Government could enforce the
payment OF Cuban bonds, except by such an asser-
ton OF force as involves violation and defiance of the
Monroe doctrine, which the world knows this Gov
ernment will not permit If France should attempt
it it would require the installation of French
ereignty over the Cuban revenues and their source
in the industries of the island Every American who
knows the alphabet knows such a thing is absurd
Yet this absurdity the purpose of the league
of dshonor which is preparing to steal Cuba.
