| with Congress to do it, nor with the states
| but in the people, to whom the constitu-
ton reserved all rights not specifically
granted to Congress. He said it is left to
j the constituency of Congress to decide the
| mental AMI moral status of their represen-
tatives.
Then YOU will contend that Congress, in
the action Of the Kentucky case, the south
Carolina case and others, exceeded its
powers?" asked Chairman Tayler.
Yes, SIR responded Mr.. ROBERTS.
A Prima Facic Right.
Coming down to the question of his nat
| uralization, Mr.. Roberts presented his Ger
tifcate of naturalization. He said he did
| not have the official transcript Of the court
proceedings. CIr. Carlisles opinion was
based upon the proceedings of naturaliza-
ton, as shown by a Transcript
But l shall hold" said Mr. Roberts,
that there was no defect in the proceed
ings and that possessing the qualifications
prescribed by the nstitution, j have a
prima facie right to a seat In the House"
He said that for more than one month his
state has been deprived of representation
In the House. and that during that time
bill Immediately affecting the interests of
his state Uhe currency bid has passed the
House. He hiIcsef had suffered damage to
the extent Of about $1,000 in the withhold
ing of his privileges during his disbarment.
EMMY against the dangerous precedent
which Congress was about to set In this
case, which may result in serious conse-
quences hereafter.
Mr., Roberts then took up the question of
his alleged polygamous relations. He as
serted that the witnesses had for the most
part testified only to general repute
and not personal knowledge Of the polyga-
nous relations.
Mr.. Roberts impugned the likelihood of
the testimony of one of the witnesses who
spoke of personal knowledge. He said the
witness ODE B. Wishard) was a personal
enemy of his, and it was not likely that he
would have introduced Mrs. Roberts to DR..
Wishard as his wife.
Discussion In the Committee.
At this point discussion arose among
the members of the committee as to Mr.
Roberts right TO make a statement Of this
kind while he is making an argument.
! q shall object to Mr.. Roberts injecting
statements of fact in the argument" said
Chairman Tayler. Mr.. De Almond Of the
committee took issue with Chairman Tay-
Ter as to Mr.. Roberts having testified; he
said Mr.. Roberts was not testifying, and
anything he should say would not be con-
Strued as testimony.
A passage of words ensued between Mr.
Taylcr and Mr. De Almond, which, al

Senator Rawlins of Utah was also present
today
At the outset this morning, Chairman
Tayler read a communication from eX-
Speaker John G.. Carlisle, counsel for the
Social Service League, upon the questions
at issue.
Mr.. Carlisle, upon the subject of the
naturalization of Mr.. Roberts, makes this
important statement:
Against Roberts Naturalization.
at seems to me that the question Of citi-
zenship has been abandoned, or at least
nothing is said about it in the testimony.
The record of Roberts application and ad-
mission to citizenship does not comply with
the law, as 1 understand 1t, and 1 do not
think he would be allowed to vote in any
state upon certificate based upon that
record"
Mr.. Carlisle then reviews at length the
history Of Mr.. Roberts naturalization, and
cites law and presidents to support his
statement made above. He then continues
THE resolution under which the commit
tee Is proceeding directs it TO ascertain
and report, not only upon Roberts prima
facie right, but upon his final right. He
seems to have objected to the evidence I'M
less it shows that he was guilty Of unlaw-
full cohabitation since the 4th of March last
when he claims to have become IL member
of the House.
Il think the testimony shows, prima facie
that he has been 20 cohabitfng; but this
IS not material in my opinion, even though
the committee had no jurisdiction to inquire
as to conduct previous to the 4th of March,
1899. because he is undoubtedly a poIyga :
mist and has been a polygamist ever since
he married his first plural wife, within the
meaning of that term as defined by the
Supreme Court of,the United States in the
Ramsey case.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1900-01-05

He Is at this very moment a polygarniSt,
not having at any time abandoned or re-
nounced the relations assumed by the plu-
raj marriages, and cohabitation with the
alleged wives is not at all necessary.
The question therefore is whether the
committee will decide the question OF
final right that an undoubted polygamist,
who justities the doctrine and the practice

The scourge of War.

The Scourge Of War.
Prowls the wolf around the cottage,
Hunger turks behind the door;
Age lies sinking in its dotage,
Childhood pining on the floor.
Age on age succeeds to sorrow,
Luxury seems but for the few,
Virtue still of vice must borrow
Leave to ive-age labour too.
Round the hearth the children weeping
Pleading piteously for bread;
By the cradle mother keeping
Virgil Ger her infant dead.
These, thy spoils, O cruel victory;
These the prey to lust Of war,
Unrecorded in the history
Of the battles fought afar.
Every message speaks bereavement
To the palace and the cot;
Every brilliant bright achievement,
OF our arms is dearly bought.
From the cot the sound of sobbing,
Lightly falls on cruel ears;
What to them, who pity robbing,
Waste their sympathy in cheers.
What to them that hath no brother,
Hath no husband in the strife;
What to them the sobbing mother;
What to them the weeping wife.

Quay-33 to 32-on the appointment Of
Gov. Stone. in the failure of the Pennsy-
lvania Legislature to elect, should for.
wei settle the question of seating Sena-
tors in such cases. Two years ago the
Senate refused two such claimants by
vote Of so to 10, but such strong per.

Senators changed their opinion in fav-

Calling Names.


As the campaign grows warmer on
the question of jing0ism. the use of
epithets on both sides seems to be on
the increase. It proves nothing, and
merely serves to delay the proper settle
ment of the issues in dispute.
There are some noted public men who
honestly believe that the policy of jingo-
ism, or imperialism " or Expansion"
Is a truly good. humane and righteous
policy. Their belief does not justify
the anti-jingo orators or newspapers in
denouncing these men as ''blood thirsty
cut throa!s," as "conscienceless ty-
rants'' or as 'traitors to the flag and to
the Republic" There are other noted
men, equally sincere and high minded,
who believe that the lingo policy is un-
American, illegal and tyrannical. Their
belief, however, affords no excuse for
the public condemnation of such men
a 'straitors. - s'copperheads" or ''little
Americans"
There were some great English patri-
OTIS more than a ceDtnIy ago who did
not desire the success of the British
arms in the United States, inasmuch as
they believed that the Americans were
fighting for their rights and for justice.
These men were not traitors, although
they did not desire the success Of the
British flag or of the British arms in
the war upon the col0nists. They were
rather patriots because they desired
that their country should act honestly
by all men. There are evidently thou
sands of Americans who do not desire
the forcible conquest of the Filipinos,
but the honesty and courage Of their
belief show that they are anything but
fs'traitors."
The issues concerned in the lingo
movement are certain to be great and
momentous. Their discussion demands
GOODNESS, intelligence and real patrio-
tism on both sides. It is noteworthy
that some of the men and the journals
which most venomously assaulted
President Lincoln thirty.fve years ago
are to-day taking the ground that any
criticism Of the country's policy is a
traitorous act. It is not. It is the on
~ way in which the true policy of the
nation can be found. TIE broader and
cooler the discussion grows, the more
quickly will it be possible to reach and
to decide the best policy for the nation
to pursue.

TINE LIMIT.
The time limit of ~pastorates will be
discussed. 1t is said that tie power of
the bishops in this respect grows less
every year, aid that of the churches
greater. .'Calls'' are now as common
III Methodism as in Presbyterianism.
The ltinerant system is not in danger.
however, it is said; but some ministers.
1T appears, do not want the rule of five
years TO interfere with their return ia
c%eDgenial pastorates. They believe
where pastor and people are agreed the
minister ought to stay. Others believe
that it is impossible to build up great
city churches in Methodism with the
five year Or other limitation. Some be.
lieve it would be better to go back to
the three year limit. The coming con.
ference will likely determine whether
this ancient feature of M%ethodisln will
go or stay.

airy Society into foreign and home de.

damage once done could not be undone.
When person loses money through
carelessness or otherwise, it may be re-
covered or the loss be made good in
some way. When person, however,
loses credit by cheating, it Is not easy
to get it back. Probably the only way
is to 90 to a new land and start all over
again. Nations, however, cannot do
that. There is no way for them to hide
from the scorn and contempt of other
civilized ations.
