Congressman Hay as a Leader.

Among the names brought forward
in connection with democratic lead.
ership in the next House Of Repre-
sentatives is Hon. James Hay, the
representative from this district. He
made quite All impression upon the
members of his. party by the ability
with which he presented the views of
the minority of the committee on mil.
itary affairs. The Washington Post,
referring to the leadership of Mr..
Hay, says:
The Virginian's success ss q leg,
islstor in the Fifty-iifth Congress has
been notable. Although All untrled
man. his work on the Military Affairs
Committee was of an excellent order.
and attracted the favorable attention
of all parties in the House and Sen
ate. He proved himself "a man of
practical ideas. and knew not only
how to express them in debate on the
Hoor, but also how to formulate them
IN Legislation. He has never been
radical IN his views regarding Iegis
latlve policies, and, when the demo-
Gratis were putting themselves on r.
cord during the second session of the
Fifty fifth Congress regarding war
LEGISLATION In manner that after
ward proved awkward to explain TO
the country, Mr.. Hay was about the
only on to protest. He appealed for
sensible action and for laws that
would enable .he administration To
carry on the war without embarrass-
ment."

One of the most unheard- of pro
ceedings this government ever en-
gagged in is the effort it is making to
prove that the meat it bought from
packers was good article of food
for soldiers. Instead of the govern
ment acting as prosecutor of those
from whom it purchased supplies, it
is appearing as their defender, and
all because Secretary Alger does not
ike Gen. Miles. The Secretary NAV
think the people will endorse his
anomalous action, but they won't.
We have laughed at the complaints
made by soldiers that they did not
get enough to eat, because we had
been Confederate soldier, but since
we have learned of the kind of meat
issued to them We are not surprised
at their complaints.

Chairman Cannon, of the commit
tee on appropriations of the recent
Congress, says the Spanish war cost
this country nearly $5O0,OOO.O0O.
And this is the price of our interfer-
ence with the domestic affairs of an
other nation, and since we are com.
PEELED to slaughter the Filipinos in
order to convince them of our benev-
olent intentions, there is no telling
what the costs of this war will
amount TO by the time it is finished.
Our people are in the habit of boast
ing that ours is free and enlighten-
ed government, and yet We believe it
is the most costly on the face of the
earth. There is not a country in
Europe approaching ours in power
but would, if it could have exper-
fenced the success we did IN the same
time, have done so at about one half
the sum it cost us. AS al illustra-
ton of the way in which things were
managed, it was testified to a few
days ago by an officer of the com
missary department that he left New
port News on vessel carrying 300,-
600 lbs. of refrigerated beef for Porto
Rico; that when he got to the latter
place be had $4,000 lbs. unloaded
for the soldiers, who refused to eat it;
that he was then ordered with his
vessel to Montsuk, and upon reach
ing there the meat had "whiskers'
on it, when it was condemned by
those who inspected it and ordered TO
be thrown into the sea. Now, it
ought to be shown whether that car
60 of meat was paid for, and if it WAS
the officer who showed so little re-
gard for the publ,c's interest ought
to be turned out at once.

Before Cuba has had time to dress
herself in The garments of self gov
eminent, her people are engaged
in rending themselves over the pre-
llminary efforts. Old Gen. Gomez.
who managed to keep together enough
insurgents during Spain's regime to
present the shadow of an army and
seems able to appreciate good thing
when he sees it, agreed to accept the
$3,OO0,OO0 offered by this govern
ment as pay for his soldiers. A Gu
ban Assembly, under the lead, it is
said, of Sanguilly, who fought for
Cuba's independence in safe quarters
on American soil, has deposed Gen.
Gomez for accepting this nice plum.
1t is to be expected that this country
will reimburse itself for this expen-
diture out of the Cuban revenues.

Last Thursday morning about

Last Thursday morning about l
o'clock, nine colored men confined in
an clubhouse at Palmetto, Ga, were
attacked by party of lynchers, who
killed four of them and wounded the
remaining five. They were arrested
upon charge of arson. The wound.
ed are expected to recover. Gov.
Chandler, of that State, was very in
dignant against the lynchers, and
has offered a reward for their arrest
and conviction. He said the courts
were open and the testimony at hand
to convict the negroes, aud they
should have been given a fair trial.
The Governor, however, admits that
the white people were subjected to
many provocations at the hands of
the colored troops stationed IN that
State, and he believes that their pres
ence Is responsible for the insolence
ouN al oOu tbdl lOllONS GU lnclt utpdI-
ture. The Governor in an interview
is quoted as saying:
''Such outrages seldom occurred i'm
this State till the regiments of inso.
lent, drunken negro soldiers, the
scum of the North and South, were
quartered in the South. 4 mob of
negro soldiers ran riot in Tampa, aud
outraged women in broad daylight.
Another gang of the drunken vaga.
bonds in Macon tried to fire on the
police. For months another regi
ment of these lawless vagabonds
wearing the uniforms of United
States soldiers terrorized Chickamau-
ga and the town of Lyttle. in north
Georgia, to say nothing of the Crit
fin episode, and other similar occur
rences. They bad to be escorted bv
a battalion of police through town
they passed, after they were dis
charged, to prevent their looting the
stores and terrorizing the people
The Leesburg outrage, the Palmetto
burning and MANY other similar
crimes committed i'm Georgia bv ne
groes during the last few months are
due to the haleful Influence of these
lawless rowdies, who disgra led the
uniforms they wore. This is the
primary cause of all the troubles"

Maryland has another awful crime

Maryland has another awful crime,
committed BY negro, to chronicle
and sorrow over. John Berry, u
young negro, killed Miss Amanda
Clark, near Bowie, Prince Georges
county, last Saturday night, and at
the same time beat into insensbility
and attempted to outrage Miss Annie
Clark, younger sister of the lady
he killed. Berry at first denied
possessing any knowledge of the
crime, but as different articles
belonging to him and coYered with
blood were brought forth, showing
that he had changed his clothing af
ter committing the awful deed, he at
last made confession. To keep him
from being lynched he was sent to
Baltimore for confinement.
