Mr. pyrd,s Maiden Speech.


 Hon. A. M. Byrd, representative from the Fifth Mississippi district, delivered his maiden speech in the House to-day. His subject was the tariff. MT Byrd dis cussed the question in It's relation to the farmers, arraigning the Republicans for legislating only for manufacturers, trusts and combines of the country and Ignoring the farmers upon whom all the people depend for sustenance. He called upon the Republicans to explain why could they profess great love for common peo- pie and yet refuse to remove the tariff from agricultural implements of all kinds, which would be of great benefit to the farmers MT. Byrd quoted from magazine article written by President Roosevelt who he said, did not always subscribe to the doctrine of high protec- tion, and that he was at one time mem Der of the Golden Free Trade Club of England and the Free Trade Club of New York. Mir Byrd was given the closest attention by both sides of the House, and at the conclusion of his remarks was warmly congratulated by Minority Lead CT Williams and other Democratic col leagues, and by Senator McLaurin, who came from the Senate to hear him.

HE HAS PECULIAR IDEAS
Says the South Uses Race
 Question for Politics.
Declines to Believe That the People of This Section Are Sincere in Their Professed Color
 Prejudice.
advertiser Bureau, Colorado R,lildinR.

Washington, March 2S
 The House, in the speech of Represent ative Gillett of Massachusetts,, was to- day treated to novel disquisition on the race question.
 The Speaker, admitting that there was perhaps more real repugnance to the neA gro in the North than In the South be- cause he is a negro, attempted to combat the idea of a social difference because of color as being a preposterous thing. Ed ucation, refinement, kindness of heart and animal nature were, in his opinion, the sort of qualities which should be rec ognized to give & man social standing. regardless of race or color. He believed fin every man exercising his taste, had a right to entertain whom he pleased.
 In reply to a question If he had ever invited a negro to his house, Mir. Gillett had to respond in the negative, saying he invited whom he pleaseG. He disclaimed any purpose of giving a sectional or par tisan turn to his speech, but at the same time charged the South with using the negro question for political effect to keep up a solid South, and incidentally charg- ed that lawlessness against the negro was unrebuked by the people of the South.
 It has been nearly a quarter of cen tury since such a negro social equality speech has been made by any Republi- can as was that by Mir. Gillett to-day. He declined to believe that the Southern people were in earnest in their race or color prejudice on social lines because social caste was not tolerable in this country, and the whole thing was pre- posterous. The Southern people were sim ply, in his view, acting on the race ques- tion for political effect and to wield great political power.
 The very bizarre notions of the Massa- chusetts member had the close attention of the House, but when he spoke in toler- aLloE of social equality there was not the slightest sign of approbation of the Re- publican side
 The only times he had applause was when he sought to defend the administra- ton and extolled Mir. Roosevelt He spoke of the Booker Washington dinner at the White House as An accident that had tremendous consequences" No Dem ocrat sought to make reply to the re- narkable speech of the New England nan. but he was subjected to a fire of questions from the Democratic side that ounctured his tire every time 1t was filled.
