THE RATHBONE SCANDAL.

The report sent out from Washington
Roosevelt over the Rathbone matter
bI oke IN in a row, is denied. 1t will
be remembered that when Hanna bought
bis seat in the United States Senate
Rathbone was his confidential manager.
AS a reward for his successful manage
ment of Hanna S campaign, Rathbone was
given big job in Cuhas carpet-bag gov
ernmcnt. He thought Ohio methods
would go in Cuba and that he would make
hay under the tropical sun. He lived
ike Prince and Uncle Sam paid the
bill. For his declarations. he was ar
rested tried and convicted Pending the
punishment Hanna is demanding that the
President give Rathbone a new trial or
intimate to President Palma the pro-
priety of a general amnesty to American
prisoners on the island upon the occa-
sion OF his accession to office. He is
bringing all the pressure possible to bear
On Mr.. Roosevelt to save the convicted
cmbcZZlcr.
General Leonard Woods honest and
courageous management alone has saved
Cuba from a reign of carpet-bag cor
ruption If the President listens TO
HanBa he will in effect rebuke General
Wood. his personal friend; show that
he lacks the nerve 20 do right when polit-
zeal pull is on one side of the scales and
right is on the other; and will put a
premium on the corrupt methods prac-
tis.d by Rathbone and Hanna. If there
ever was a time for Mr.. Roosevelt to
display moral backbone. that time is
now. II he sends Rathbone 10 prison,
every honest man in America and in Cuba
will applaud.

JUDGE CLARK'S DUTY.

Goldsboro Argus
1t was Judge Ciark's duty as sworn
judicial officer learned in the law cog
infant of its outrageous violations
damaging to the public veal, conversant
with the due forms Of legal papers in
tended for the apprehension or removal
of the violators of the law, and per-
suaded of the integrity of Governor Rus
sells policy who alone had the power
to vindicate the law-it was Judge
Clark's duty, we say, to give Governor
Russell just the information the publish
cd correspondence shows that he gave;
and he could not have acted otherwise
and been true to himself-to his oath or
office-to the best interests of the peo-
pie of North Carolina, in whose defence
when yet but a boy he offered his life
willing sacrifice upon the altar of his
country. and laid it as such afreSh
daily for four long years on many n
hard fought field, where brave men faced
death and heroes fell. 1t is not among
survivors of men such as these in time
of war that we are to look for traitors
to their country in days of peace.

SENATOR BAILEY IS RIGHT.

It is fit and proper that this govern
ment should be represented at the courts
of Europe. 1t so happens that the gen.
tlemen who are accredited to the court
of st. James and to Spain are distn-
guished statesmen and diplomats. To
each is attached worthy representative
of the army and navy. They are capable
of representing this country without send
ing special ambassadors TO the corona
ton Of the two new kings. Senator Bal
ley is right in protesting against the
piece OF toadyism and humbuggery, and
in insisting that the President has no
right to send them without the advice
and consent of the Senate.
Just think of Whitelaw Reid and Dr.
Curry, two of the ablest men in America,
leaving their important and useful labors,
to "kow- tow and "genulect" and do
honors to a graceless old king and mere
boy. 1t is a piece of folly and such men
ought not to be delegated to such func-
tiOnS. II we are TO be represented at
all the ping pong players and Van Aliens
ought to be allowed to go, instead of men
of ability and dignity. But the whole
thing is un-American and ought to be
nipped in the bud. Who ever heard of
England or Spain sending an ambassa
dor to see a President of the United
States indicted into office?
If we are to depart from our policy of
''cntangling alliances with none" let US
send ambassadors to Great Britain to
protest against the wicked war that coun-
try is waging against the Beers. That
would be more in keeping with our lib
crty-loVing traditions.

Clark and Conner Favored.

To the Editor: Our people here waited
with interest the publication of the great
Clark Russell letters that so much has
been said about by the opponents OF
Judge Clark and a clean administration.
The letters are a vindication of Judge
CIark's high character as a man and
unquestionable intellect. With such men
on the bench as Judge Clark, and by the
way our people are solid for him and
also for that clean, true gentleman,
Judge H. G.. Conner, for Associate JUS
tice, cur convention will instruct for
Clark and Connor. With such men as
these on the bench we can look to our
Judiciary with pride.

JUDGE CLARK DEMOLISHES HI!
TRADUCERS.


Fayetteville Observer.
Judge Clark's reply to his traducers
appeared in yesterdays Raleigh papers.
He has left them f1oundering in mire
of dishonor-One with the brand of Judas
Iscariot affixed to him, the others con-
victed of violation of the most elemen-
tary of obligations held sacred by men
of honor throughout tie world. At the
same time the much advertised letters,
which he mot they, as they wished)
gives to the public, show that he was
simply doing his duty to his State and
people when he wrote them-a duty from
which one in his position could not
shrink in a matter involving such ire
mendous interests.
The feature of this affair, which must
cause sadness to the lover of his kind,
is thereadiness with which some respect
able citizens accepted the unsubstan-
tiated charges of a person who had been
removed from office because he used his
great trust as a railroad commissioner
to secure favors from the railroads, as
sufficient to cast suspicion upon great
Judge whose upright life has been an
open book for quarter of a century.

Although a strong friend of Justice

any thing about the attack made upon
him by Major James W. Wilson. We
believed that Justice Clark was fully
competent to take care Of himself. and
the publication of his letters to Gov.

proves that we were correct. Justice
Clark's friends will continue to be his
friends, and his enemies will continue
to be his enemies. Both Chatham and

wASHINGTON'S COACH.


 The Turf, Field and Farm, in it's last issue, reviews the days in which Washingtons imported English coach was drawn by six horses:
 George Washington, when he was president of the United States, rode in a coach drawn by six horses. This coach was made in England, and it ar rived in New York in 1789. The body and wheels were of a cream color, with gilt relief, and part of the sides and front were shaded by green Venetian blinds. Upon each side of the four panels was picture emblematic of one of the four seasons. The original Indian name of New York was Man haitian. In January, 17S5, congress met ill Federal hall at the corner of Wall and Nassau streets, and this city was the national capital for five years. Washington was here inaugurated as president, April 30, 17S9 Manhattan island then presented one of the most beautiful drives in the world, and Washington frequently made the four teen-mile circuit in his coach. This drive led up to what is now the Bow cry and Third avenue, then called the Boston road, across the upper part of the island and down the Bloomingdale road, now famous as Broadway. The view took in prosperous farms, elegant | country seats and broad stretches of living water. Tn the city the president was usually content with four horses, but when he started on the long drive from Mount Vernon, six horses pranced in front of the coach. Fifteen years after the death of General Washington this coach became the property of Bishop Mead of Virginia Our first president was a good horse man, and he was none the less devoted to the interests of the people because he rode in state. Should he revisit the scenes of his former glory he would l find it difficult to trace the old four teen-mile drive, and he would meet in the glad springtime, up ill Central park, and on the roads beyond, four-in-hands that would make him turn green with envy. Manhattan has radically changed since the first days of the re- public.

The president has been strongly opposed to having his daughter go, both because of the trial it will be to have her ab- sent from home for so long time and because he has feared that her visit at this time might be construed as having some official or political sig nificance. but, like many men with young daughters, he has found it diff cult to refuse her petitions, so the young lady with the help of her moth CT and her aunt has finally secured the desired permission.
