WASHINGTON LETTER.

President Roosevelt is evidently
determined that the race issue shall
be kept alive, as he has sent to the
Senate for the third time the name
of DR.. W. D. Crum to be collec-
tor of customs at Charleston.
Twice before the Senate refrained
from taking action in this case, as
the Republican members did not
wish to slight the President and at
the same time desired to respect
the wishes of the white people of
Charleston as well as the Senators
from South Carolina, who object
ed to Crum's appointment on the
ground that he was a negro. As
the Senate did not positively re-
fuse to confirm the nomination the
President named Crum as a recess
appointment and the negro has
been serving for some months de-
spite the protests of the people of
Charleston. But the President is
resolved that the Senate shall act
in the case and has sent in the nom
nation once more. The question
is likely to cause an interesting de-
bate and it is not very probable
that Mr.. Roosevelt will not be
supported by his own party in this
attempt to force upon the people
of Southern city an official who
is dlstasteful to them.
In this connection it is interest
ing to note that Representative
Crumpacker, of Indiana, has rein
PRODUCED in the House his resolu
ton Of last session providing for
the appointment of a commission
of eleven members to investigate
the conditions of suffrage in the
several States. The undisguised
purpose of the resolution is to re-
duce the representation in Con
gress of those States which have
disfranchised the negroes. In this
way number of Republicans hope
to increase their majority in the
House or at least prevent the Dem
ocrats from gaining the upper
hand. Representative Dick, of
Ohio, will also urge the passage of
a resolution providing for the in
vestigation of the subject of negro
Acknowledgement. His ultimate
purpose is identical with that of
Crumpacker. Even the authors
of the resolution doubt if there
will be vote on them during the
extra or regular session, but they,
together with Crum's appointment,
will serve to keep the issue alive
and make the negro voteysafe for

We believe there is universal
sentiment of rejoicing all over the
city, among all churches as well
as his own, over the return of Rev.
W. j. Mccoy to the pulpit Of the
M. E. Church in this city. Ger
talnly it has been pleasure to
have the reverend gentleman and
his estimable family in our midst,
not only so, but much to the ad-
vantage and greatly conducive to
the spiritual welfare of the con-
gregation. Another pleasant an
nouncement is the return of Rev.
Sam F. Wynne to the Union City
Circuit and the residence of his
family in the city for another year.
They are highly welcome indeed,
and we are sure the young minis
ter's charges are greatly rejoiced.
Good news, however, does not al
ways travel without an unwelcome
fellow passenger. The fact that
Rev. r. M. Vaughn has been
transferred to the Halls Circuit
brings tidings of general regret.
Rev. Vaughn is a wholesome, sub
stantial, good citizen, and we feel
personal loss in the change. His
family is pleasantly known and in
going they will take the hearty
good will of their neighbors.

The anti saloon league is now
reaping the reward of its weak
kneed policy in the Heilbronner
affair. That is why the violators
of the Adams law are so bold. II
is useless to lay the charge of sin
at the Governors door. The
league withdrew it's opposition to
the pardon of HeiIbronner, thus
minimizing and very largely de-
stroying the effect of the Adams
law. There is no question about
it, the league did valiant work,

ment from making war on Panama
In fact, as an officer of the Admin
istration said, "our government il
bound to have peace if we have tC
fight for it," Although it has no
yet taken partisan form, the op
position to the Presidents action
in recognizing government three
days after the revolution had broke
out, is determined and bitter in
many influential quarters. This
recognition has been termed an act
of piracy, indecent haste, dragging
the national honor in the mud,
and has given this country the IT,
tie of bully of the American CONT
nent.
In selecting Representative John
Sharp Williams, of Mississippi, as
leader in the House, the Democrats
have placed themselves under the
guidance of one of the most able
men in Congress. For ten years
Mr.. Williams has served his party
in the lower branch of Congress
and forced the members of both
parties to recognize him as an able
and logical debater, q skillful par
Humanitarian and a power on the
Democratic side of the house. He
is fifty years old, by profession a
lawyer and by occupation cotton
planter. He was educated in the
universities of Virginia and Hell
delberg, Germany, and is one of
the learned men in Congress. He
speaks German, French, Spanish,
Italian and Greek. At the Chica.
90 convention which nominated
Cleveland and Stevenson he was a
member of the Mississippi delega-
ton and since that time he has
been in politics. The only posi-
ton he has held is that of member
of Congress and he has always been
elected to succeed himself. At the
last election he received every vote
cast in his district. AS leader of
the minority he has the highest po-
sition which the Democrats can
give and has every prospect of be-
ing elected speaker as soon as the
party gets the majority in the
House. He and German in the
Senate are sure to put the Repub-
lican party on the defensive before
the session is far advanced.
Because of his opposition to the
Panama route Senator Morgan, of
Alabama, is to be deprived by the
Republicans of the Craftsmanship

Canals, and the Committee on

was we'll known that Senators
Murphy, of New York; Smith and
Mcpherson, of New Jersey, and
Brice, of Ohio, would not support
the Wilson bill as it came from the
House. Senator German made no
motion in the Democratic caucus
and is no more responsible for the
defeat of the Wilson bill than
many other Democratic Senators.
When the Senate and House bill
was in conference committee it was
ascertained that it was impossible
to pass any tariff bill before the
Congress adjourned, on the 4th of
March, unless the conference com
mittee of the two Houses agree to
support the Senate bill. Presi-
dent Cleveland was fully advised
of this fact and sent word to the
conference committee that some
tariff bill must be passed before
Congress adjourned.

cate the truth of history.

land where they were driven out
OF power in campaign where the
race question was the main issue.
With sober dellberation, which
is in marked contrast to the reck-
less impulsiveness of President
Roosevelt in the affair, the Demo
cratic Senators have decided to
wait for fuller information before
they make a party issue out of the
actions of the Administration in
recognizing the de facto govern
ment at Panama before the revolu
ton was even known of at the Co.
lumbar capital. A large Ameri-
can fleet is being gathered on each
side of the 1sthmus and Columbia
has been notified that this govern
ment will not permit her to land
troops at either Panama or Colon.
M. Philippe Bunau- VarilIa, who
has just been appointed envoy ex-
traordinary and minister plenipo-
tertiary of the new republic, has
been in Washington and took lunch
with Secretary Hay who is giving
him every encouragement in his
attempts to have our government
recognize the absolute sovereignty
of Panama. M. Varilla sent very
patronizing letter to Senator Nor
gan asking him to renounce his OPP
position to the Panama route. At
ter it was shown that the letter
was breach of diplomatic propri-
ETY. the new minister excused his
action on the ground that he wrote
as private citizen. In the letter,
however, he addresses Senator
Morgan as the minister of the Re-
public of Panama. DR.. Herran,
the Columbian representative at
Washington, has sent firm pro-
test to the State Department
against the action of the United
States in recognizing the revolu
tionists and in preventing the Co
lumbar forces from asserting the
national authority over the 18th

DEFENDING GORMAN.

The following letter to the

Senator Germans attitude toward
the Wilson tariff bill passed by
Congress during Cleveland's ad-
ministration in 1894, comes from
Elk Senator Pugh, of Alabama.
Senators Butler, of South Carroll
ma, Pugh, of Alabama, White, of
Louisiana, Senators Smith and
Mcpherson, of New Jersey, and
Senator Brice, of Ohio, all Demo,
Gratis, each opposed the Wilson
tariff bill as it came from the
House. These six Democratic
Senators had announced that if
sugar and coal and iron were not
restored to the dutiable list they
would defeat the bill and hence it
was so amended and passed the
Senate. Senator Butler further
adds that ''In the light of this
