PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT IN
CHARLESTON.

President Roosevelt's visit ID Charles
ton will, 1t is said, be OF much weight 10
shaping his future policies regarding
the South. Mr.. Roosevelt has cap
tivated the crowds and his address i'm
pressed them with his sincerity. The
speech OF the President was an appeal
| for unity OF american sentiment. mr.
Roosevelt and his party spent the nigh t
at Summerville.
The following are extracts from his
speech:
As q nation we have an especial right
to take honest pride in what we have
done for Cuba. On the Goth OF next
month Cuba becomes a free republic.
We have kept our word aud done our
duty, Just as an honest individual IN
private life keeps his word and does bis
duty.
We have rightfully insisted upon
Cuba adopting toward us an altitude
differing politically from that she adopts
toward any other power; and in return,
as matter Of right, We must give to
Cuba djfferent-that is, better
position economically In her relations
with us than we give to other powers
Our astounding material prosperity,
the sweep and rush rather than the
mere march OF our progressive material
development, have brought grave
troubles 10 their train. We cannot
afford to blink at these troubles, any
more than because OF them we can
afford to accept as true the gloomy fore.
bodiDgs OF the prophets OF evil.
We are certain to fail II we adopt the
policy OF the demagogue who raves
against the wealth which Is simply the
form of embodied thrift, foresight and
intelligence; who would shut the door
of opportunity against those whose
energy we would especially foster by
psnalizing the qualities which tell for
success. Just as little can we afford to
follow those who fear 10 recognize in
justice.
Our laws must be wise, sane, healthy,
conceived 10 the spirit OF those who
scorD the mere aRitstor, the mere 10 q.
otter of class or sectional hatred; who
wish justice for all men; who recognize
the need OF adheriDg 80 far as possible
to the old American doctrine of giving
the widest possible scope for the free
exercise OF individual initiative, and
yet who recognize also that after COM
binstions have reached a certain stage
1t is indispensable to the general well
fare that the nation should exercise
over them, cautiously and with self
restraint but firmly the power OF super
vision and regulation.

Brussels, April 10.--The rioting here
last evening, Incident to an anti. Catholic
parade, was more serious than st first
reported. Four different encounters
between the police and the rioters &C.

suburbs. The paraders, who were
socialists, attacked some converts and
smashed the windows OF the houses OF
clerical deputies. The officers we're

From that time till the present, there

to be.
The revolutionary trend OF the
working men, who comprise the

not surprising, nor far step from
their demand for universal suffrage.

Hanna made a good-nstured reference

THURSDAY EVENING. APRIL TO- l9oz

No WONDER Secretary Root with
bsld from Congress all facts that have
oome to his knowledge as to the con-
duct of the transport service between
San Francisco and the Philippine
Islands. for despite the reports at hrst
given out that only irregularities"
had occurred, disclosures show that
gross frauds have been perpetrsted
upon the government in that service
This mass OF facts, including the report
OF Colonel Chamberlain, was only sent
to the House in response 10 an inquiry.
The disclosures show frauds, extrava'
Sapce. looseness of business methods
and that contracts for hundreds OF
thousands OF dollars were let without
competitive bidding; that exnor-
bltsnt prices were paid for all supplies
and labor provided; that there was lack
of supervision OF work and inspection
of materials; that supplies accept
ed and paid 70. have been OF inferior
quality; that incompetent persons have
charge of different departments; that
unmistak able favoritism was shown IN
award of contracts and purchase Of
supplies and that there was utter dis
regard of the governments interest In
fitting up the vessels with luxurious
furniture, &c. All these facts have been
in the possession of Secretary Root Tor
months, yet, go far as known, ne has
taken no action upon them. No steps
have been taken to punish officers re-
sponsible for the conditions. The
repor.s do net show the responsible
parties, yet Secretary Boot has, 90 far
as known, made no effort to continue
the investigation, with view to deter
mining who was responsible. The
transport service has been reorganized
within the past few months, but that is
about oil the action the Secretary has
taken in connection with the matter.
More than 800 100000 has been ex'
pended at San Francisco alone by the
government, and it is not known to
what extent the frauds and collision
pervaded the service. 1t is more than
likely that the facts now 10 the hands
of the House will result in an investi-
CATION by q special committee and
when this ia done the delinquents
should be punished to the full extent
of the law. 1t seems that every branch
of the government Is corrupt and that
officers and employees vie with each
other as TO who shall do the most
looting.
