ISSUES A STATEMENT

BOGOTA, Colombia, November 21-Presl-
dent Marroquin has made the following
statement to the Associated Press in re-
sponse to queries as to the political situ-
alton in Colombia:
United States Minister Beaupre and all
Americans here are surrounded with every
guarantee for their safety. My commun1-
cations to the United States Senate and to
the people of the United States make mani
fest the attitude of my government on the
Panama question. The situation in the in
terror of the Colombian republic is quiet"
President Marroquins reference to his
communication to the people of the United
States is explained by the following ad-
dress which he has given the correspondent
of the Associated Press:
To the American People.
1.-THE President of Colombia to the Amer
lean people:
THE Colombian nation has just been the
victim of unexpected aggression, and is in
danger of losing the best part of Its terri
tory. A military movement, not popular
sentiment, was the origin of the proclama-
ton of the independence of Panama.

ways had been held by Colombia to be its
best friend and ally, prevented with ma

1.-THE solemn treaty between Colombia
and the United States. alluded to until the
last moment by the American government
binds the United States not only to re-
spect the sovereignty and ownership OF the
Panama isthmus by Colombia, but to help
the latter maintain them. The proceedings
of the United States marines on the lstn-
mus and of the American minister here are
in open violation of that treaty.
THE isthmus of Panama, the most COW

ious part of our fatherland, always mas
been respected by the nations as sacred
trust confided by Colombia to the honor
and power of the American people.

created by the trainers of Constitution as

Bedouins and Water.

1t is not usual to hear a BedOuin upon
reaching a camp where water is offered
him refuse it with the remark, 81 drank
only yesterday" On the Bedouins' long
marches across dry countries the size Of
water skins is nicely calculated to just
outlast the journey, and they rarely allow
themselves to break the habit ola bstemious-
ness, as this would be sure to make their
next water fast all the harder. They are
accustomed from infancy to regard water
as the most precious commodity and use
it with religious economy. They know
every hollow and nook in the mountains
where water may be found. Their camels
and goats, which they take with them on
their marches to supply them with milk
and meat, live principally on the scanty
berbage and foliage of the thorny mimo-
sa. Neither men nor animals drink more
than once in forty-eight hours. No won
der they can subslst where invaders
quickly perish.

Wrong Ideas of the Suffrage law
Norfolk Virginian-Pilot.

Norfolk VirginianPilot
The Tazewel Republican throws a some
what belated spasm over the suffrage
article of the new Constitution.
Outrageous obstruction to popular suf-
frage," ga trap to catch the poor man"
"detestable price upon suffrage" ere
prehensible," vicious" are few of the
terms it uses. Warm language this, truly
And our contemporary closes with this
final wall of rage and despair "it will
ultimately disfranchlse three.fourths of the
poor white men in the State and destroy
one-half of the white electorate"
The Virglnian.Pilot has not by any
means approved of every feature Of the
suffrage article. Some features it has
severely criticised, particularly the failure
to require the registrars to take an oath,
but it is nevertheless unable to find any
justification for the harsh language of the
Republican or of its fears as to the white
electorate. Certain it is, that iftwo-thirds
of the "poor white lnen of the State" e
DISTINGUISHED it will be their fault and not
the fault of the suffrage article.
Now what is this much abused article?
AS there is another registration, under ii,
this year, let us examine lis provisions,
which state that the following classes Of
persons may register:
"First, A person who, prior to the
adoption of this Constitution, served in
time of war In the army and navy Of the
United States, of the Confederate States,
or Of any State of the United States or Of
the Confederate States; or, Second. A
son Of any such person; or,
"Third. A person, who owns property,
upon which for the year next preceding
that IN which be offers to register-State
taxes, aggregating at least ONE DOLLAR,
have been paid; or,
Fourth. A person able to read any
section of this Constitution submitted to
him by the officers of registration and to
give a reasonable explanation of the same;
or, if unable to read such section, able to
understand and give a reasonable ex-
PLANTATION thereof when read to him by
the officers"
1t is simply absurd to say that half the
white men of the State will be disfran-
chlsed by these provisions, unless they
themselves by their own
negligence. There are four qualifications,
the possession Of any one of which, en-
titles the citizen to register
When the Republican says that the pay
ment of poll tax, in 1904, is prerequisite
to voting it is wide of the facts. 1t is
to registration after January
irst, 1904, but not to voting. That is to
'ay, all who register this year can vote
Without paying any poll tax.
Our Tazewell contemporary should he
more careful of its facts and its allegations.
It is liable to contribute to The very thing
t fears-the Acknowledgement of whites -
~ giving false and erroneous idea of the
difficulties in the way of registration.

That BELLEVlLLE LYNCHING
The Growing Propensity to Resort to
Mob Law.

Chicago Chronicle"
WYATT was a negro. Does that account
for the fact that the mob trampled the
law under foot and overpowered its OH
GERS? We seem to have an answer in the
statement that "every negro in the city
hae been warned to leave town or suffer
the consequences. If this is true the
mob assumed not only to try, condemn
TO execute WYATT without hearing and to
wreak savage fury upon his dead body
but siso to try and condemn on the III
stent and without hearing every negro Id
a town of 10, 600 inhabitants.
In States where for generations the ne
gro was a mere chsttel over whom the
nsster exercised the pow of life
or death and who had no tight OF trial
by jury or of any appeal To law there ls
something, even though it is very little, to
be said in extenuation of the crime Of
lynching.
1t may be said that people who had
always Leen accustomed to look upon the
negro as being without human rights
could not be expected to turn about all
at once and treat him as a man entitled
to the same protection of the law that they
themselves enjoy.
But this poor excuse will not serve
mob 10 free Illinois, even though its con-
stituent elementsliv not far from Egypt
in one direction and former slave State
in another.
There is an intimation that an attempt
will be made to bring the leaders OF the
Beleville mob to justice. Let us hope
that the attempt will be made and that
it will be successful. Men need to be
taught that it is very serious matter to
override the law and its officers and
to deny to others the protection of the
law.

THE ALEXANDER COLUMN.
Largest Single stone Ever Cut and
Polished by the Hands
of Man.
ALEX BEAVERS,
Commissioner.

The young king of Italy is a good
judge of art, and on a recent visit to
the car he was struck by nothing so
much as the Alexander column before
the winter palace in St. Petersburg.
His own capital possesses the famous
Trajan and Antonine pillars, besides
Is great Egyptian monoliths shaped
hundreds of years before Moses was
born; but the Alexander column is the
largest single stone ever cut and pol
ished by human hands. 1t is said that
when Alexander 1. entered Paris with
the allied sovereigns, as a victor, he
looked up at the Vendome column,
bearing Napoleon on high, reports the
Art Amateur.
"God forbid" the young emperor ex-
claimed, that I should ever occupy
so giddy place! No man is worthy Of
it. To me it seems profane. I have
learned the littleness of even the
greatest of mankind"
After his death his brother, Nicholas
l., remembering his words, decided to
erect a unique monument to his MEM
DRY. He gave orders that shaft "a
feet long should be cut from the gran
tie rock. Impossible as the feat
seemed, it was more than accom-
plished. From the mountain was
cleared stone 100 feet long, which the
literal-minded quarrymaster quickly
reduced to the required length. An
eyewitness says that Victor Emman-
uel III. of Italy looked at the magnif-
cent shaft wistfully. Rome is building
a huge monument to his grandfather.
VIII il, when finished, bear comparison
with that great granite shaft topped
by its bronze figure of religion, erect
ed to the memory of the car who was
great enough to be humble.

The Servian Assassination
Philadelphia Press.

Philadelphia Press.
The quick change in the Government of
Servia, brought about by wholesale assas'
sination on the part of the military, pres
ents difficult problem to the courts of
Europe. King Alexander, u years old,
was a detestable sovereign, who should
have been retired long ago. His sus-
pension In April of the constitution OF
the country, retirement of Government
officials and change in the laws were the
acts of tyrant, entirely out of place in
this age. His entire reign was one OF
uncertainty, disorder and disregard, as far
as ne dare, of the good of the people gen
orally when he thoughtit conhicted with
his pleasure.
Alexander was disqualified to rule him
self, let a lone country of 100000 In
habitants, but his removal by sssasslna'
ton cannot well be overlooked by Europe
an Governments, even if the people OF
Servla do not seem to be disturbed. Prob
baby they feel relieved from an oppressive
incubus. His course in sitting the popu'
lar voice at the elections and other motor
rous acts brought on the crisis, though it
was evidently carefully conceived plot
in the interest of Prince Peter Kara
geoigeyich, claimant tothe throne. The
assassination of the King, Queen, Premier
aud number of officers OF the Govern
ment, the Queens two sisters and other
innocent persons was in the highest degree
