Porto Rico and the Phil
ippines-We Have Sim
ply Changed Places
With Spain.
New York, April 10.--At the
Jefferson day banquet of the Dem
ocratic Club, Brooklyn, last night,
a letter of regret from ex-Gov.
Boies, of Iowa, was read as fol-
lows:
81 am very sorry 1t is impossi-
Bile for ME to att end the Jefferson
banquet. The war with Spain was
a reaffirmance of the principle
underlying our own form of gov
eminent, that found expression in
a loyal declaration by united peo-
pie that Cuba should of right be
free. No nation on earth ever
championed nobler cause.
THE end came. The grip of a
tyrant had been broken. Spain
was at our feet, Cuba, Porto
Rico and the PHILIPPINES at our dis
posal. 1t needed but a simple de-
mand from us to make them for
ever free
But here we halted. A word
that would have made the name of
America immortal was never spok-
en-.
"Greed took the place of char
ity and usnrped the throne of
Justice. We wanted an excuse
for exploiting the Philippines, and
made a voluntary donation of
$50, 100000 of gold to SPAN to
find it. What followed! l wish
to God we could blot from the
annals of our race this page of
American history as it must be
written, and 60 shame-faced, as it
will, through all ages to come.
"The truth is we have simply
changed places with Span and
snatched from her palsied hand
the sword she could no longer
WELD and turned it against race
she had become powerless further
to oppross.
''Look at the little island Of
Porto Rico that welcomed us as
deliverers from an oppressor's
hand. What do we find! A peo-
pie denied the most valuable prin-
ciples they enjoy under despot-
ism that furnished our only excuse
for war; race Of vassals with a
right we are bound to respect
foreigners, in fact, who cannot en-
ter our gates without paying tri-
butte on the products of their toll
or take unencumbered from our
hands that which their needs re-
quire-yet our subject in name,
over whom the American flag is
to float forever, to be ruled as our
lordIy will may determine.
''Wlth unseemly haste a Repub-
lican Congress and a Republican
President struck from the statutes
of their country tariff tax franz
ed for revenue, the only purpose
for which taxes can rightfully be
laid, and built IN its place huge
wall in front of every part of the
nation, in the shadows of which
an infamous brood of life-sucking
trusts have been nursed until there
is scarcely manufactured neces-
sity of life the price of which to
consumers is not fixed
by the greed of some giant corpor-
alton.
eve are at the threshold of an
other national campaign, The
issues upon which it is to be
fought will be made by the Dem
ocratic party.
"What shall they be? Anti
anti-militarism, anti
monopoly and death to trusts. y

DIR. PALMER THE FIRST ORATOR.

Louisville, Ky. April 23.-Rev.
DR.. B. NJ. Palmer, of the Presby-
terian Church, of New Orleans,
will deliver the opening Grafton at
the coming reunion of Confederate
Veterans. The selection of DR..
Palmer, who is distinguished as
an orator in the Southern pulpit,
marks distinct innovation, as
heretofore the Grafton at the diff
terent reunions has been believed
by statesmen and generals Of the
Confederacy.
The orator at the New Orleans
gathering in 1892 was Senator
John W. Daniel, Of Virginia; at
Richmond, in 1899, Gov. Charles
T. O'Ferrell; at Nashville, in 1897
Hon. John H. Reagan; in Atlanta,
in 1898, Hon. Charles 4, Hooker,
of Mississippi, and at Charleston'
in 1899, Gen. Joseph Wheeler.
In accepting the invitation DR.
Palmer says:
''Disabled both as to readln g
and writing, l have been distress
ed lest l should be unequal to the
responsibility Of such an GRAFTON.
Yet my heart incllnes to respond.
to every call from the Confederate
camps. and | hope therefore to be
present at the proposed reunion in
performance of the pleasant and
honorable duties assigned to me-"
Col. VIII S. Hays is compos-
ing the words aud music of song
and chorus, entitled Come a
Runnin'." The words are in ne
gro dialect, and the music simple,
full of life and rich with melody
1t is to be sung by 100 colored
people-men and women-who
will be trained by Col. Hays on
the occasion of the confederate
gathering at Louisville, accompan-
led by a full military brass band.
1t is said to be one of Col, Hays
best efforts, and will be q feature
in entertaining the Confederates.
The Colonel also proposes to have
from 100 to 5000 people, accom-
panied by two or more brass band
sing Only Old Kentucky Home"
under his direction.

YOU LIE HOT A DEADLY INSULT.
So Decided q Kansas City Jury Which
Tried q Peculiar Lawsuit

KANSAS CITY, No June 17.--Is 1t q
deadly insult to cali = man a liar and
is the man 30 insulted justified in
slugging the nan who impugns his
veracity.
A jury In Judge Gates court decided
In the negative and awarded Neils
johnson $1,000 damages for being
beaten up BY q. O. Bedford, both
farmers in eastern Jackson county.
Bedford made the unique plea that he
was born In Kentucky and raised in
Missouri, and that in those States 1t
was . deadly insult to call q mar q.
liar. 10 also made the pecu-
liar plea that be was suffering from
nsurasthenis, a disease Of the nerves,
which deprived him partially Of his
self control.
Some months ago johnson, who is q
small man, was = tenant OF Bedford's,
and the two got into q dispute over
some land. Bedford, who IL large and
brawny, maintains that the plaintiff
called him . liar. He badly beat his
small antagonist, and for long time
johnson waB confined TO his home.
When he vas able to be about he
commenced suis for $500 actual and
5000 punitive damages.
Il was known that Bedford's plea
would be such az to create . stir and
the courtroom was well filed when
the case was called. The answer
read:
The defendant for his amended an
swer denies each and every allega-
ton not hereinafter expressed.
Further answering, the defendant
states that on or about the 25th Of
June, 1899, he was suffering from 3
nervous disease known a. neurasthe-
MIA, which tends TO the general i'm
pairment Of health, and tended to
make the defendant irritable and to
deprive him of his usual self-control;
that plaintiff was the tenant Of the
defendant aud on said date, while they
we're discussing business, without any
cause or provocstion the plaintiff
called the defendant 9 damned liar.n
The defendant was born in Kentucky
and reared In Missouri, and under the
custom prevailing In said States such
language was the deadliest insult
which one could infiIct upon another.
That on hearing said words defendant
was, owing to the character OF the
words, unable to control himself, and
he struck the plaintiff about the head
and face several times with his fists;
that defendant did not put up bis
whole force, but, never having struck
q man before In bis life In anger, did
not know how much force to use
and did infiiet some slight injuries
about the head and face Of the
plaintiff.
When the attorney for the defend
ant had finished there was something
Of q litter going around over the
room, and the Kentuckians re~collected
their native State with pride, and
those that had been born In Mis-
souri, thought the days OF chivAlry
had returned or the code duello re-
BeiOrd himself, who is q very
man, was about the only one In
the room that did not smile, but Judge
Gates could hardly suppress himself
II the unique answer of the defend
ant, which wss based on the code Of
honor OF two great States.

Iahed in Pskin, and the Empress
Dowager and the Tsung Il Yamsn i'm
pressed with the absolute necessity Of
acting as the Powers desire in the
matter Of preserving Foreigners and
thelr Interests from harm.
When normal conditions return,
then WI be discussed the question OF
the indemnity due American misuion-
aries for the destruction Of their mig
aIors and perhaps the Powers may
dsssrmIne the political .future Of the
Empire.
For The present, however, the Pres
idsnt 10 concerning himself solely
with the measures 10 take TO reach
Americans and provide them with
protection.
In diplomatic circles "a h held that,
In permitting the murder Of Germa-
uy's oficiAl representative, Is report
ed from Hong-Kong, a. . result Of .
movement approved By the govern
msut, China commlred an act Of war
upon the German government
This is Also true Of the Japanese
government . member Of whose
ofacial star IN Pekfn was killed. II
is hoped, however, that neither Ger
many nor Japan win take radical
action, bat that they VIII continue 10
act with the Powers for the restora-
ton Of order.
II the good omcers Of France al
accomplish this happy result, 1t Is
understood she will continue to ex-
ercise them. The French government
Is N q particularly good position to
harmonize the conflicting interests
of the Powers, q she has no terrific
rial aspirations In the north Of the
Empire, and has only II heart the
preservation Of her commerce there
and the protection Of LIE and prop
erty.
10 this respect the interests OF the
United States and France are identi-
cal, and 1t was stated that the two,
scting together, would be able to pre-
vent trouble between the Powers. A
proposal Of this kind has not, how
ever, been made TO Secretary Hay,
and the authorities propose to refrain
from entering into any political
alliances for any purpose, believing
that American interests generally can
best be saieguarded By continuing the
pursuance OF an independent policy.
