AN HONORED GUEST
President Roosevelt and Party
at Charleston Exposition.
They Pay n visit to Historic Fort sunf-
ter - A Banquet Tendered the
President In the Evening
Exception 10 Mrs.
Roosevelt.

Charleston, S. c. April 9.-The
presidents train reached Charleston
on time. The party did not come into
the city, but left the train five miles
out, where trolley cars were waiting
to convey them to the naval station.
The president, accompanied by
few of his party and members of the
reception committee, boarded n small
steamer which came alongside the
revenue cutter and was taken over
to Fort Sumpter. A company of
artillery was standing at attention
when the president landed and imme
diately went through gun drill, the
immense 6-inch disappearing guns
being manipulated in manner to ex-
cite the admiration of all.
Upon arriving at the wharf the
president, escorted by troop of cav
airy, was driven to the residenc, of
Andrew Simmonds, where an in
formal reception was held and
buffet lunch served.
The banquet rendered to President
Roosevelt at the Charleston hotel
was fitting close to day full of in
cidents and served to gather together
men prominent in the affairs uf tEu
state having solely in mind a greet.
ing to the president which shoLld
prove the sincerity and the warmth
of feeling existing for the chief ex-
ecutive of the nation.
Mayor Smythe welcomed Mr..
Roosevelt to Charleston. In response
the president, among other things,
said: 81 should indeed be but a poor
American myself if were not deeply
touched and gratified by the way you
have greeted me to-day, in this, your
beautiful city, and, of course, l feel
at home here. think that American
who is worth his salt has a right to-
feel at home in every part of the
United States.
"Around this table see many men
who took part in the great war. The
war in which the younger among us
here took part was n very little one,
because it did not have to be bit
bigger. But it had one thoroughly
good effect: it put the cap on the
structure that had been building
while we were almost unconscious of
it, and it taught us how thoroughly
| at one we were"
Mrs. Roosevelt was the guest of
honor last night at the most notable
reception that has been given in this
city in 40 years. 1t was held at the
| st. John hotel.

CHANGE MUST COME.
Rights of Congress Nullified by Ex-

Statement OF both Parties Are Tired
of Following White House Die
tntion-An Abuse Started
by Jefferson.
Especial Washington Letter.

CCTTTHAT you have said as to
wv imperialism is correct, but
you drew it mild and said
things guardedly," says Congressman
Bartlett, of Georgia. ''The people
ought to know that the constitution
of this republic is constantly violated,
flagrantly violated, in manner which
would have caused our forefathers to
charge treason against some of our
most notable public servants.
1--WE have lost the right of petition,
equal taxation and the independence
of the congress. The voice of the
people through their chosen repre-
sentatives is no longer heard in the
land; but in it's stead there is the
voice of one man out of nearly S0,-
100000, who happens to be president
for little while. You have rightly
said that It makes no difference
which party happens to be in power,
or what individual holds the office.
The fact remains that it has become
customary for presidents to assume
powers which the constitution does
not give them; powers, the assump-
unconstitutional; powers, the arbi-
trary exercise of which have some
times come very near treason. / re-
gard all violations of the constitu
tion as reasonable.
at is true that our forefathers
fought for the right of petition. The
constitution of our country grants
the right of petition to every citizen.
And yet the president has recently
issued an order denying that right.
There are many thousands of en-
ployes of the federal government.
Some of them are subjected to un-
justs treatment. Others have fancied
wrongs. Often it happens that the
meritorious clerks are not advanced,
and those without merit are pro-
moted. Whatever injustice n govern
ment employe endures, he must con-
tinue to endure, because the, pres
ident has issued an order threaten
ing to discharge any employe who
shall petition for justice through his
constitutional representative or SEN
ator. The constitution is thus vio-
lated, and with an Imperialism which
Ia lTItpItSSipit, DtcuhSc any tleIh
who might dare to exercise his right
of petition would be arbitrarily dis
charged from his position, regardless
of the organic law and the civil serv-
ice law.
"Our forefathers fought for equal
taxation. The taxes imposed upon
them were turned back for the bene-
fit of the government of the Amer
lean colonies, but our ancestors did
not want that sort of taxation. They
were n part of the British empire,
citizens of it, and felt that they were
entitled to equal taxation and repre-
sentation. Our constitution covers
those points. And yet the constitu-
tion is completely ignored when we
come to impose that same kind of
taxation I. II Porto Rico and the
Philippines. If that was wrong at
one time, il must be forever wrong.
THAT subject, however, is n matter
of political struggle just now, and /
will not dwell upon it. But the prac-
tice of presidents debating to con-
gress what legislation shall be en-
acted is the most fragrant of all vio-

PostOmce Robbed. /.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, April 9.-rhe
postoffice at Hudson, Pa, was broken
into yesterday morning by four
masked men and $197 in stamps and
sos in money was taken. While the
thieves were at work Father Spotan-
ski, of st. Joseph's Catholic church,
passed and was held up until the
burglary was completed. The burg
lars compelled Father Spotansh to
witness the robbery. They threaten
ed to shoot if he gave the alarm
until they were out of vight, and
when he succeeded in arousing the
people the burglars had too good a
start to be captured. They were all
masked, but the priest thinks he
knows one of them.

Converted to American Methods.

London, April 9.-William A. Bur-
ham, NJ. p, prominent member of
the labor party, in speech delivered
in the Rhondda valley, his parlia-
mentary division in Wales, said his
tour of the United States had con-
verted him to the necessity of men
cooperating with their employers.
They should utilize the best of labor
saving machinery in all branches of
manufacture, he said, and should run
it To secure the greatest possible OUT
put. He declared that he intended
hereafter to use all his influence to
dispel the prejudice of British work
men against improved machinery.

FINEST ISLANDS IN THE WORLD.
Gen. Macarthur Testiics Concerning
Conditions In the Philippines,

Washington, April 9.-Gen. Mac
Arthur yesterday continued his tes-
timony concerning conditions in the
Philippine archipelago before the
senate committee on the Philippines.
His discussion at the beginning of
the session was devoted to a review of
the conditions which led up to the
present state of mind of the Philip
pines people. He said that long be-
fore the advent of the Americans the
germs of democracy had been plant
ed and that these had originated in
the agitations in Spain of century
ago which had Deen reflected in the
Spanish colonies.
Gen. Macarthur then took up and
discussed economic conditions in the
archipelago, saying that they are the
finest group of islands in the world,
occupying u strategic position abso-
lutely uneXcelled. Continuing, he
said that the archipelago must neces-
sarily exert an active and potential
influence upon the affairs of the en-
tire east, in both a political and a
military way, and that our presence
in the Philippines will always insure
all the protection we need in the east
and no one can now say how great
those needs may be.
He believed, he said that when the
Philippine people come to realize the
mission of the American people
among them and that they were a
chosen people for the dissemination
of American ideas, they would rally
to this inspiring thought and cheer
fully follow and support the Ameri-
can flag.
Concerning the conduct of the war
in the Philippines, he said that while
it was war, he doubted whether If
any war of modern times had been
conducted with as much humanity
and self-restraint as this war had
been.

No Action Taken.

Washington, April 9.-After a con-
ference lasting nearly three hours
the democratic members of the
house of representatives last night
tabled number of propositions
which had been presented relative to
the policy to be pursued on the Gu
ban reciprocity bill now before the
house, and then adjourned without
acting on the subject. The result of
the conference leaves each demo-
cratic member free to exercise his
individual opinion, and it is generally
believed that this will result i'm the
passage of the reciprocity bill.

lations of the constitution; and
sooner or later ii must be stopped.
Cleveland and Mckinley were insist
ent in imposing their wills upon the
congress.
cleveland was determined that the
Mills free trade bill should be passed,
and he notified every member of the
house of representatives, on his po-
litical side, that he would be expected
to vote for that bill. William ii.
Sowden, of Allentown, Pa, stated
that he would not vote for that bill.
President Cleveland took up his pen
and vetoed bill for public build
ing at Allentown, Pa, the home town
of the congressman who dared to
vote according to his conscientious
convictions. After vetoing that bill,
Cleveland sent word to the other
members of the house who had pend
ing legislation of interest to them
selves, saying: There will be an
Allentown for every Sowden.' That
meant that he would use his power
to humiliate any representative of
the people who dared to vote con-
trary to the will of the man in the
white house.
"The present incumbent of the
presidency SIS no worse and no better
than any of his predecessors. Look
at this newspaper and read this head.
