WOLCOTT ANDTHE PHILIPPINES

Senator Wolcott's reply to Senator
Pettigrew on the Philippine question
was a scathing and timely rebuke to
the gentleman from South Dakota and
his fellow American Tagalos, who are
banging away with their blunder-
busses at the administration, notwith-
standing. as Senator Wolcott says,
there is mot an honest Democrat who
did not admit that if his party were in
power the first thing to be done would
be to crush the instruction
The Colorado senator said: Seat

people who had not been successful
and who viewed with suspicion and
hatred all those whose lives had been

Froth

The earnest efforts made by the Pres
ident and his Cabinet to get action out
of Congress for the establishment of a
government in Puerto Rico is sutti-
cient answer to the outcry made by
Oliver Belmont in a December maya
zine in which he accused the admin
istration of a plot to prevent any dis
position Of Puerto Rico at the present
session of Congress.
According to the Popocratic theory,
Mckinley desires to be a dictator in
our new possessions and Belmont even
suggested that Congress would be in
vited to append a new title to the
President He would be hereafter
STYLED President of the United States
and Emperor of the Philippines and
Puerto Rico" The amount of cheap
froth that has been emitted from the
jaws of the traducers of the admins
tration since the adjournment of the
last Congress in. connection with its al
legged imperialism" is incalculable.-

a thing which the dominant man
needs, will naturally obliterate the
distinctions of race. based upon pref
udice. The capability of the Negro
to grasp Mr.. Washington's ideas in
their fullness, is the only possible
question to arise, but the manner in
which the bright young men and
women of the South are grasping it
and putting il into successful execu-
tion, already demonstrates that the
Negro Is equal to the occasion. But
Mr.. Washington's great personal
work goes on il connection with his
philosophy. In 1898, the total re-
ceipts and disbursements of Tuskegee
Institute. were 100000. The State
of Alabama gave S4, 500, and the bal
ance came from private funds and
endowments, the result of Mr.. Wash
ington's personal efforts. This work
brought Mr.. Washington to Denver,
and we sincerely trust that the vast
wealth of this great mineral belt may
catch the philanthropic inspiration
which has marked the goodness and
wisdom of the wealth of other sec
tons. Mr.. Washington's hope has
grown to the hope Of the race and
when one contemplates the splendid
influence which this magnificent ef-
fort is exerting over ten millions OF
people directly, and Indirectly the
entire nation, the bright rays of hu-
man thankfulness bless the provi'

Pettilent Pettigrew.

In the Senate yesterday Pettigrew
pettigrewed with even more than his
habitual pettigrewness. He said that

to mention. He said that white men

reason.-N. Y. Sun.

forth the novel theory that religion and

has been asserted, he declared, then he

Copperheads of To-day.

The cOpperheads will be little slow
about putting themselves in the way of
getting another drubbing like the one
they got OH the Pettigrew proposition.
In fact, the copperheads are about as
feeble to-day as they were in 1S61-65.
They are feebler, indeed. than they
were at one time during that period.
They carried several northern states
in 1862 and 1863, and ran the Demo
cratic national convention in 1864
They failed to run the country then,
however, and they will fail now.-St

Rryan and Kentucky.

Bryan denies the report that he urged
the Democrats of Kentucky to respect
the will of the people of the state as

was improbable on its face. Bryan is
not the man who would raise his hand
to prevent his party from committing
a fraud if he thought that the fraud
would give it control of any important
office. Still, if Goebel steals the gov
ernorship. Bryan and his party may
bid a long good-by to power in Ken

BOOKER T. WASHINGTON.

Booker Z. Washington's visit to
Denver and the lecture which he de-
livered last evening to large audi
e1ce of white and colored people in
tbs finest church edifce in Colorado.
give US theme upoa which Wa can
not say enough. Professor Washing
ton, as the great apostle of industrial
education for the Negro youth, has
earned the title of the Moses of the
Negro race, but as true philosopher
rather than as an educator, does he
probably deserve that title. The
great industrial school at Tuskegee,
Alabama, over which he presides, is
a wonderful institution, where hun
dreds of young men and women have
already obtained, and thousands
more will yet obtain, a priceless prac
tical knowledge which will give them
an advantage in life which nothing
else would have brought but the
principles upon which Mr.. Washing
ton b, sis his efforts, ana the logic
and tact with which he reaches and
teaches both races in America, are the
most important features of his won
derfuIly successful career, and, in fact,
of his whole life. To engage the in
terest of the MASSES whose undivided
problem the race question really is, is
a thing which no other man In the
world is doing in the manner and to
the extent in which Booker L. Wash
ington is doing it and the fact that
such thing can be done, as he is
ably proving, in itself is thoroughly
convincing that the great race prob
lem OF America is we'll upon the way
of final and happy solution.
The industrial theory is Lot alto
gether original with Mr. Washington,
for he gained his start in a school
founded upon that idea, and other
men, both white and black, have ad
vocated its benefits before him, but
the wide and constant application and
dissemination of that theory, until its
virtues have become almost universal
ly recognized, is the great work for
which Mr.. Washington deserves su-
preme credit. He argues that the
advancement of the Negro is of as
much moment to the white. people of
America as to the Negrl himself, and
that the one must naturally and
necessarily advance or retrograde In
the same measure and at the same
comparative speed as that in which
the others does, for the two masses
are so indissolubly linked by provi-
dence, that the conduct of the strong
er toward the weaker must essential
ly react upon itself. He then urges
the Negro to prepare himself to take
advantage of the opportunities of the
present and the future, by mastering
industrial scieuce, the foundation of
all progress, under the present sys-
TENS of society and government. 10

Talked About Water-works.

Mr.. Mcdonnell, the engineer, APP
peared before the council last week
and the water. works proposition was
discussed at some length. He ex-
planned to the council that the ex-
preston "pure water" in the con-
tract made the surety companies un-
willing to go on the firms bond and
so an amendment specifying that the
water 10 be furnished should be such
as 1.-The State board of health shall
approve" wss substituted and also a
personal bond of $4,000 of Messrs.
Burns a. Mcdonnell, to be approved
by the council, was inserted in lieu OF
the first mentioned surety company's
bond, to save delay.
Prof. Marvin, of the State board OF
health, and Mr.. Burns came down
Friday afternoon and met with men,
bers of the council drove over the
ground and formed ideas as to the
quality of the supply. Mr.. McDon-
nell said that he expects his ma
chinery here this week and the
Public improvements Committee was
authorized to confer with him and
furnish whatever he may need to
carry on the prospecting. A COM
mittee consisting of Robinson, Edison
and Kasebeer was appointed to con-
fer with the Davis brothers and learn
just what the latter want. No work
can. be done uHtil the water supply is
located and every energy is now be-
ing bent in that direction, as the
plans must depend on that question
and the State board Of health are re-
quirsd by law to examine both the
supply and the plans.

DAUGHTER Is INSANE
Lizzie Schlemmer is Declared of
an Unsound Mind by the
Jury

The juries in the insanity trial Of
Mrs. Schlemmer and her daughter,
Lizzie Schlemmer. came in last Fri
day the mother being declared Of
sound mind and the daughter being
declared insane. Very few cases
have aroused the same amount of in
terest and the neigh bors OF the family
denounce Mr.. 5chlemmer in the
strongest terms.
That night the family returned to
their home near Moran and reporter
for the REGIRTER talked with a man
and his wife who have lived near the
Schlemmers for twenty years. Both
of them agreed that Schlemmer is to
blame. "He is a man who worships
the almighty dollar, and he would do
anything for money" they said. Be.
ing stingy to meanuess, he required
his wife to work In the fields like a
man, and angered by the bills for
medical attendance told his daughter
that If she remained at home she
must make up her mind to die. One
of the fathers charges is that the
daughter did nothing, and these peo'
pie say she has been a slave to the
family all her life, never being al
lowed to associate with other young
people, and she has simply worked
and worried heraelf IN
Schlemmer owns 329 acres of land
and when his son married sold the
son an eighty, and the neigh bors feel
that in this lies the secret of the sons
siding with the old man, as the
eighty has never been laid for. The
charge is made by these same old
neighhors that Schooner is drink
ing man OF harsh and cruel dis
position.
1t is suspected that the jury, while
ostensibly siding with the man. has
really believed him brute. Mrs.
Schlemmer has filed a SUIT for divorce
and will thus escape him and the
only way to get the daughter out OF
his hands was to send her to the
asylum where she will receive tender
and skilled treatment for any and all
her Affections
