Mr. Lewis c. Freeman,
90 Wall ST., New York.
Dear Sir:
In acknowledging your letter of the
end, | shall deal only with the side of
it that relates to the matter on which
you lay the greatest stress, viz: My
having misrepresented the facts in pub
fishing the Taxpayers Association re-
port in the last issue of The PALS
ADAM. | disclaim any thought or
intention to state anything that did not
occur, my one mistake, perhaps, being
that | did not state some things that
took place, which might have been lett
out. | will agree that this latter state
ment is true. But as for my intention,
ally or otherwise having reflected upon
YOU or any one, deny this, entirely as
to intent or fact If what wrote did
not take place, I am willing to make
any amends whatever IN the power of a
gentleman to perform stand ready
to do this at all times on any subject
where | have unwittingly given ofense.
In your case, what affected you, no
doubt, was that [ should have made
mention of you at all, and for this | beg
your humble pardon. AS for intending
to libel you, that is nonsense-perfect
nonsense. You know | never intended
any such thing. / am willing that you
should correct any statements | made
that affected you, but | am not willing
to go into long detailed report of the
meetings written by you. Now, be
reasonable and tell me, Did | do all
that you have inferred in your letter of
the 2nd? Really, you quite took my
breath away with your charges. | have
nothing in the world against you, Mr..
Freeman-nothing in the world. | have
no secret things to say against you, nor
have l fought YOU in public. The one
thing that l have thrown all the fight
| have in me has been against the pro-
posed lawsuit That is the one thing
| have fought against-not the men be-
hind it. They are all my neighbors-
none of them, unless you are an excep-
tior-an open enemy | have stood a
lot of abuse from some who spoke in
haste | have spoken in haste, at times,
and, taking my cue from you, at whom
you aimed your shafts, | openly made
an apology, and that is more than some
others can say. 1t is more than you can
say, for you once made a remark to me
that was most uncalled for, if not I'M
gentlemanly Your overlooking any
thing in my course does not concern me
in the least I overlook as much in
you and others, but l do not cherish
the slightest resentment, and | have en-
deavored to let you know that resent
ment was not a component part of my
nature by meeting you on the street and
according you the friendliest greetings.
AS for the last issue of THE PALS
ADAM, let me know what can do to
rectify any wrong, and I stand ready to
do it. l shall be careful in future to
make my reports on different basis,
getting the minutes, if can, and making
what [ can that way. But this has not
been convenient heretofore, owing to
the fact that the paper goes to press the
day following the monthly meeting
And there is one thing you can take
home with this letter: Don't you
think for one moment that I am taking

MR.. BLyTHE,s GUESS.

s Mr. Blythe says that Senator Ali
son has almost fully recovered and that
the people will insist upon his re-
election, hence Mr., Blythe believes
that any candidacy INSPIRED from Des
Moinesr will peter OUT 1t was Mr..
Blythe who forced an unwilling legis-
latllre to re-elect the aged Gear on the
promise that he was in good health
when the old man fairly shook with the
palsy as he went about the state ard
died Of old age before he could enter
upon the term to which Mr.. Blythe lad
re- selected him. But Gear was Mr..
Blythe's father-in law and could be
controlled by him. Senator Allison,
approaching eighty years old. and sick
with an enlarged prostate, will be con-
trolled by his relatives and real
friends. The T.-R. will wager Mr..
Blythe q counter prediction that Mr..
Allison will not be reelected and will
not seek reelection and whether he is
a candidate or not the opposition will
not "peter out" until the votes have
been counted In the primary election.

TASK EoR the BAR.

Golfers Weekly presents a picture
OF the petition which Abe Ruef, he
indicted boss Of San Francisco, pre-
scented, before his confession, to Judge
Dunno in support OF his motion for a
change OF venue upon the ground that
he could not secure fair trial II, San
Francisco 1t contains two and half
million words, weighs fifteen pounds.
and, II entirely in typewriting (some Of
1T is printed), would cover ten thou
sand pages Of legal cap. it makes a
fairly neat Illustration Of what is con-
stantly being attempted in the way of
using the criminal law as an engine Of
delay. Several copies Of 1t were pre-
pared and served. Ruef's lawyers IN
sisted that Judge Dunno must read it..
II Dunns had been forced to comply, 1t
lis probable that Ruef would have se-
cured delay of six months in his
trial. The petition contained every
newspaper roast" and cartoon appear
Ing in, the San Francisco papers during
the last six mouths.
Here Is a task ready to the hands
OF lawyers and Judges who desire to
make law and legal procedure the We
hic1es Of Righteousness rather than
barriers to Justice. Ruefs petition is
simply one manifestation of what my
be done to delay and embarrass justice
in the courts. The complaint of the
people for whose benefit and protection
laws are made and courts instituted.
is loud and insistent from San Francis
co to the Atlantic. Occasionally this
impotence and distrust manifests It
self in a lynching. We are coming
more and more to popular, distrust Of
courts thru the wiles of the criminal
lawyer and the latitude afforded nirn.
1t is up to the bench and the par.
Tacy ~nsust Initiate The rr-sfofnds with
are OF such plain and apparent neces-
sity. Ruef's petition with similar
"doges'' are bringing the law into
contempt and the courts under the
suspicion OF the general public.

fKnoxyille Journal.l

The Journal has no patience with the
suggestion that Senator Allison must
be classed with the Depews and the
Platts merely because he is an old
man. At mo period Of his remarkable
career could William B. Allison justly
be placed in that category, much less
now when Depew and Plat are in dis
repute and disgrace.
Mr., Allison has had long and hon
oAble career in the congress OF the
United States. Elected first as repre-
sentative from the Third district In
1853, he served four terms In the lower
house Then In 1879 he defeated
James Harlan for election to the sem
ate and has held the position contln-
uously since that time. When his term
expires in 1909 he will have held the
position Of senator thirty-six years
For many years he has welded a pow
erful influence in shaping legislation
and directing the affairs Of the nation.
He has grown old in the service Of his
country, and should he conclude to re-
tire at the end of his present term he
could do so with consciousness OF
duty well and faithfully done and with
the plaudits and admirations /of the
whole nation. During the past few.
years his health has broken much, and
at his age the strenuous work of active
congressional life is too heavy to be
borne with equarlimity. In justice to
himself and to his constitutes he should
yield the place TO a younger man.
Nor should Mr.. Allison and his
friends resent the fact that other men
are beginning to look with longing eyes
toward his seat in the senate. It is
the way Of politics Mr. Allison him
self crowded James Harlan, one OF the
greatest men this state has honored
with a public career, out of his seat
in the senate. F[e has been honored
above other men; he has repaid the
trust imposed by faithful service and
great ability Now he has reached that
age when his strength If not his facul-
ties, has been impaired. and he should
yield gracefully to the claims Of ma

A number OF, correspondents OF the
daily papers have started a boom for
Senator Allison for another term.
These correspondents have discovered
that the old gentleman is in a remark
ably excellent state Of health and that
he is good for Six years more OF pub

Senator Allison's seat in the United
States senate is sacred, nor does it be-,
lieve that he should be returned again.
Senator Allison is an old man. He Is
far beyond the age of his usefulness
for the reason that he spent too many
years in congress without doing any
thing. He got busy on the railroad bill
because it was necessary, but he was
virtually forced to do 50. It was the

respect to the sturdy limbs Of our
gray-haired neighbors it may still be
said that they can neither advance nor
retreat as rapidly now as they could
forty five years ago. The Grand Army
is no longer an army of warriors. To
see them marching down the dusty
road, while the young and strong fol-
low in carriages does not now seem
fitting or right, altho it was natural
enough twenty years ago. Some of the
veterans could still, If there were
need, make marches and fight battles
but some are feeble and none are
young. A country which processes
gratitude can not consistently leave
the burden Of the observance of Me-
mortal Day to be carried alone by the
survivors OF the war. 1t is fitting and
right that the veterans should ride
and that citizens or civic societies
should furnish the carriages.
