The Elk Mountain pilot., 1900-10-30

In his public career, John Sher-
man was striking instance of the
commanding power of superior
ability and strict integrity of
purpose. He was not a magnetic
leader. He compelled his follow
ers rather than attracted them.
He maintained his hold upon the
people because of the belief he
was able to inspire in his superior
judgment and his faultless honesty.
He was not a national hero by any
means, hut he was great Ameri-
can of a type that honors the
country and the system of govern
ment under which it was produced.

The Contest VIII Not He as to
Roberts. But Merely ON Question
of Procedure-Other Matters to
Come Up.
Washington. Jan. 2l-The feature of the
proceedings in the House this week will
be the consideration of the case of Brig
ham II. Roberts, the Mormon representa-
tive-elect from Utah. The case has at
tracted intense interest all over the coun-
try.
Though both the majority and minority
of the committee which Investigated the
case agree that Mr.. Roberts should not
sit as a member of the House on account
of alleged polygamous practices, there will
be royal struggle over the question of
procedure upon which the committee has
split.
The case will be called up on Tuesday
and two, possibly three days. will be de-
voted to it.
The majority of the committee holds
lildl MI. IAODtTtS SuOulu bt eANluAGus
while the minority contends that he should
be seated, and then expelled, basing it's
argument for this course upon the ground
that Mr.. Roberts possesses all the con-
stitutional qualihca lions for membership
and that any attempt to exclude him upon
the theory that Congress has the power
10 add to those qualifications would es-
tablsh a dangerous precedent that might
return to plague Congress in the future.
Mr. Littlefield of Maine and Mr.. Dear
mond of Missouri. who presented the mi
nority report, will make a strong fight
and they say they believe they can con-

course they advocate is the only proper
one to pursue
The majority of the committee, on the
other hand, is confident that it will be
backed by a majority of the House. Mr.
Roberts is expected to make plea in his
own defense.
Should he be seated in accordance with
ton to expel him will be Immediately Of
fered and doubtless will be carried by an
almost unanimous vote, although the ma
jorty in their report have insisted that,
once seated, a member cannot be expelled

Inc committees presented their claims
several days ago. and have been waiting

not forthcoming as soon as they believed
1t should be, and they summoned the chiefs

employees.
Ihese men came Thursday and spent
the entire day in investigating the justice
OF the demands by the men. Afterwards.
as result of a long discussion, they sent

FINANCIAL BILL IN SENATE.
Philippine Question and Quay's Case
Also to Come Up.

Washington Jan. 21.-The Senate again
this week will devote itself almost exclu-
sively TO speech-making. A variety of
subjects will be covered.
The financial bill will remain the I'M
| finished business. but the Senate will not
be held strictly TO its consideration. Sew
| eral set speeches probably will be made
upon it, among those who are expected to
speak being Senator's Cockrell, Daniel and
| Allen.
No announcement has yet been made of
| speeches on the affirmative side of the
| measure, but now that day has been
agreed upon for vote it may be expect
ed that some of the friends of the bill
will speak in its defense.
The first speech of the week will be
made Immediately after the close of the
routine business Monday morning by SEN
ator Pritchard on his resolution declar-
ing the proposed amendments to the con-
stitution OF North Carolina to be in con-
travention of the federal constitution. He
will be followed by Senator Turner in a
prepared speech on the Philippine ques-
ton.
Tuesday Mr.. Ross will address the SEN
ate on the application of the constitu-
ton of the United States to Porto Rico
and the Philippine Archipelago. He will
be followed on the same Gay by MT. NC
Emery with a speech on the North Caro-
lima constitutional question.
The two reports on the Quay contest
will be presented Monday or Tuesday, and
as this contest is a privileged question,
il is not unlikely to receive early atten-
ton. Senator Penrose, who is in charge
of Mr. Quay's case. says he will ask that
the contest be pressed to an early de-
cision in the Senate.
The Samoan treaty also will be taken
up again in executive session ON the mo-
ton of Senator Jones of Arkansas to re-
consider the vote by which it was rati-
fed The treaty has been already re-
turned to the Senate by the President to
await the disposition of the Arkansas SEN
ator's motion.

ing all in their power by good and concil-
iatory treatment, and of securing COM

are required these must be paid for on de-
livery aud a receipt for the amount TAX

the observance of the rule that soldiers
are never allowed to enter private houses
or to modest the Inhabitants on any pre-
text whatever, and every precaution must
be taken to suppress looting or petty rob-
berry by persons connected with the
army.
when supplies are absolutely neces-
sary for the subsistence Of the army and
the inhabitants are unwilling to meet
such demands, commanding officers may,
after having satisfied themselves by care
full personal investigation, that such sup
plies are necessary and available, order
these in such cases to he taken by force,
full receipt therefor being given"
