what's the Matter with Choates

a prominent representative Of the a6-
ministration attended the memorial ser
vices in honor Of Carr Schurz in New
York the other night and has brought
back to Washington news Of an inter
esting incident there which was over
looked by the papers. but which may be
of pregnant political significance. Il
was this. Joseph II. Choate who reluc-
tantly yielded the Ambassadorship TO
London to Whitelaw Reid, was on the
programme at the Schurz meeting 10 in
trOduce Grover Cleveland. Mr.. Choates
introduction Of the eX-President was as
surprising as it was terse. which merely
was: 1T is my pleasure, ladies aud gen
uemen. 10 present 20 You the foremost
American" ChOate sat down. and the
audience went wild. Mr. Cleveland could
not proceed for several minutes. so pro
tracted and loud was the applause. The
characterization of the ex-President as
"the foremost American" would not
have surprised tHe friends of the ad
mnistration had it come from a Demo
crat. but coming from a Republican Of
the eminence OF CaOate they cannot un-
derstand IT, Schurz was never a sup-
porter Of Mr. Roosevelt for anything. He
even opposed him in his race for COVER
nor, and supported Bryan in 1860 and
Parker in 1901.

tion held on last Monday, at which

this does not lessen the appreciation
due my friends, neither is it the

measured. Especially am | proud of
the fact that, neither my most worthy
opponent, or L, reSOrted to any unfair
means to accomplish our purpose. l

worthy of the responsibilities Of the

mo matter what may be said
against them, this state especially and
the North, have been ~enrichened by
our life and fire insurance companies, .
said a successful New York lawyer.
He is right. Many of the companies
from small beginnings enjoy a steady
flow of millions Of collars annually.
Southern companies can achieve the
same success, and some of them are
i'm the way of doing it. The growth
and reliability of The Mississippi
Home Insurance Company warrants
the assertion that it will soon be a
$500. 600 company, with a record of
millions paid out. AS insurance is a
necessity the more the public aids in
building up this Home company, the
greater the mutual benefits.

To His Excellency. the Honorable JAS. *.
Xardaman. Governor OF Mississippi:

To His Excellency. the Honorable Jas. X.
Vardaman. Governor OF Mississippi:
The undersigned citizens OF Grenada
county. Mississippi. would most respectfully
present this petition and show as follows:
At the July term, 1905. OF the circuit court of
said county. Scott Williams. colored. was
convicted of murder and sentenced to hang.
The facts shown by the record are substan-
TALLY these. Defendant on the night of the
killing went to the room of a certain woman
in Grenada and deceased stated that he was
going to bed and sleep in the bed in the
room. The woman objected to this. De-
ceased did undress and go to bed. The
woman left the room for a moment, and
while gone the killing occurred. Deceased
was in bed when killed. Defendant testified
that deceased tried to pull his pistol from
under his bolster, when he fired. The
deputy sheriff found the pistol under de-
ceased's head. half-drawn from the Scab-
door of the room. SO that defendant would
have had to pass by the bed to go out. De-
PENDANT surrendered at once to the deputy
sheriff. going Immediately to the Jail to
surrender. He was a white mans negro in
every sense OF the word. He had been in
jail prior to the killing on "a petty misde-
meanor charge, but when tried by the court
on a plea Of guilty. his. sentence was sus-
pended during good behavior. On one occa-
sion he saved the deputy sheriff's life.
thwarting q plot to break from Jail by the
prisoners. He has always made. so we be-
lieve, a good prisoner. and when in Jail on
the misdemeanOr charge. besides saving the
deputy'S life, ETC.. WAS OF much assistance to
him, being made truSty. No one saw the
killing and we think defendant is entitled
to the benefit of all legal doubts. We ask
examine whatever papers are submitted.
and that his sentence will be committed to
life Imprisonment.
