OPPOSED sHARp's CONFIRMATION
An Echo from the Period Of the Goebel
Assassination.


Assassination.
Washington. January l3.--There was a
sharp controversy In the senate executive
session today over the confirmation Of s..
g. sharp as marshal for the new Eastern
distric. Of Kentucky. The two senators
from Kentucky, Deboe (RepJ and Black
burn DEM, took opposing positions.
When Mr. Shsrp's nomination was called
up Senator Blackburn objected TO condrma
ton on the ground that Mr.. Sharp had
presided over o mass m-etiug held IN front
of the executive mansion at frankfort IN
1899 while the Goebel-Taylor controversy
was at its height and few days before
Goebel was assasslnated. Senator Black
burn characterized this meeting ss an
armed mob aud said chat Il was composed
OF about 400 men who had been brought
from all parts OF the state for the purpose
Of mtimldating Goebel aud his followers.
He said no man who would consent to act
as it's leader should be appointed to an
Office whose principal duty was to preserve
the peace,
Mr. Beboc retorted that Of the entire
number Of people gathered very small
percentage, about 800, were armed These
were, he said, from the mountain districts
Of the state, and as men there habitually
carry arms no significance could be at
tached to the fact that they appeared at
this meeting armed. The meeting, ne ad
ded was quite os respectable as many over
which Mr., Blackburn had presided, aud
bad been held for the purpose Of demanding
fair p.ay.

Gen. Miles.

The cruelty-seemingly malicious
with which General Miles was attacked
and publicly censured by Roosevelt
not in his Office or the War office, but
in the public reception room of the
White House-has no parallel in any
government. An invitation by a COM
mander- -in-chief to subordinate is
equivalent to command, which may
not be questioned or neglected. After
that censure and an order to the Secre.
tary Of War to duplicate it and
make record of it in the War Depart
ment, the very refinement of cruelty is
inflicted by an order to attend as guest
at the dinner given to the diplomats of
all nations, to sit and be stared at, con-
scious of the great humiliation to which
he had been subjected, and published
to the world as matter for the press.
His treatment Of Schley has been
equally cruel. Neither of these men
had done anything officially worthy of
censure. They had done only what
nearly every man in the army or navy
The Conservative, 1902-01-30


Congress from time to time of the state
Of the country and recommend such
measures as he deemed expedient to
that end. For what? For the benefit
of the republican party, or of any class
Of men or officials, or any syndicate or
corporation, or for the general welfare
of all the people whose representative
he is-or should be? Did Roosevelt
think he could carry into his great office
and consider it in discharging his Off
cial duty, his prejudices against demo.
Gratis and their policies, his proposes
sions in favor Of republicans and their
policies, or any other partisan feelings,
and feel, think and act like statesman
and dispose Of emergencies and ques-
tions of policy as they arise from time
to time-single and in complications
as statesman should, and so as to ad-
minister justice? If he did he was
wholly unfit for the place. From his
demonstrations so far it would seem
that he went into Office as partisan, to
make his great Office serve his party,
and ignore the opinions and wishes of
the more than 1000, 900 of electors who
are opposed to his party and its policies.
With more arbitrary power than any
King or Emperor, the welfare, and it
may be the destiny, of eighty-fve mil
lions of people, and of one hundred
billions Of taxable property, with an
other hundred billions of credits at
home and abroad invested in vital en-
terprises, are to be affected by his con-
ceptions of his place aud its require
ments, and we may all pray and hope
for an exercise of wisdom on his part;
but the faith of the best of us must re-
main more or less bolstered by hope
rather than by it's own inherent
strength.
A Part Atonement.
If Roosevelt could be made to COM
prehend that he has put great shame
on the American people, has smirched
the national dignity-and his own as
their national representative, by his
treatment of Miles and Schley-two of
his greatest and most important sub
ordinates and two of the peoples great
est public servants; and that, if any
representatives of this nation are to be
sent to represent it at the coronation Of
King Edward VII, the sending of Miles
and Schley would make some small
atonement to those people and show
sense in him of the gross injustice done
by him to those able servants as we'll as
to the public at large. And it is in the
power of the press of this country-if it
sees proper to do ito compel him to
appoint them. LET justice be done
though the heavens fall"
Looking as far into the future as I
