SEN. BAILEY WEPTlUEvELAND IS HAPPY
TEARS CAME TO EYES ON WITNESS
 STAND.
Declared sam Houston and Austin Were Victims of Like Political Calumny On The Part of
 Enemies.

Austin, Texas, Feb. 22--Senator Bal. ley was on the stand before the legisla- tive Investigating committee all this morning under a cross examination.
 Representative Jennings conducted the examination and asked questions outlined by Representative Cooke. The pricipai testimony outlined, was the assurance from Senator Bailey that while his enemies had repeatedly tried to show that he only performed public service for private gain. that the facts in the case showed what malicious falsehoods they presented to fur ther their ends; that while they had placed a good many men on the witness stand to prove that he had borrowed money from them that they had selected only his special friends as witnesses and had been very careful not to sum- mon as witnesses hundreds of men in Texas whom he had done great service for at Washington in many ways. and said that he never asked nor received the slightest compensation therefor. that hundreds of people in Texas could testify as to his public service in their interest without a cent of compensa- ton: that all the insiruatlons and sug- gestions that he had done service for pecuniary remuneration only was un- puet. untrue and most contemotibie. and merely evidenced to what ends his ene-
 
 his name and attempt to wreck him as a man and public office holder.
 The House committee voted to close she investigation this afternoon. but there was a deadlock in the Senate committed. the committee voting three and three. with me member absent and without action on the motion the joint committee adjourned until Monday morning. The House committee ad- journed until Saturday morning.
 Senator Bailey made his closing statement during the afternoon. in which he said that the investigation was the result of a political conspir- Acy for which he charged William Ran dolph Hearst was resr onsible. Tn clos ing Senator Bailey characterized the charges brought by Representative William A. Cooke as being calumny. Senator Bailey wept as he told of the alleged prosecutions by his political op- ponents. He claimed that President Sam Houston had been persecuted and that stephen F. Austin had been driven into retirement by the prosecutions of their political enemies in Texas.
 There was q contest over the ques- sfon as to whether the subcommittee should go to St. Louis and other points to search for H. Clay Pierce and the house committee decided to abandon any attempt to secure this evidence The Senate committee has not acted on this question. Present indications are that the Bailey investigation matter will be transferred from the commit tee to the floor of the Legislature.
 Senator Looney stated that he was going to introduce a resolution Mon day morning asking that the investi- gaLion be brought to close. Senator Looney, who is a friend of Bailey, de- clared in the committee room that noth- ing had been proven against Bailey.

MIR. TAYLOR SPEAKS
FORMER MOBrLIAN DISCUSSES THE
 NEW COMPETITIONS.
Says the Southern states WiIl WiIifnGiy Allow Negroes of InteiIigence and Education the Right
 of Franchise.

Baltimore, Md, Feb. 22.--The prin- cipal address at the annual exercises to- day, commemorative Of the opening or the Johns Hopkins University. was de- ltvered by Hannis Taylor, former Min- ister to Spain.
 tional and constitutional law at Coium- bia University, Washington. Ills sub- feet was "Tha Relation of the South to Pending Problems He regarded the Thirteenth Amendment to the Consti- tuition as a declaration of independence because 1t set the South free from dying institution.
 The first great mistake. he declared. was in the enfranchisement of those entirely unprepared for citizenship. The basic principle on which the new Southern Constitutions rest Is that as fast as tbeir eolored citizens become aualified by education, or property, or both for the franchise. they shall be endowed with it. Intelligent and re- sponsible minorities of colored voters thus introduced into Southern cleo torates could never menace. m tue speakers judgment, the political su- premacy of a race endowed with q genius for domination.
 Along with a just and gradual be- stowaI of the franchise should go an earnest effort to advance the negro race through public education.
 The South, MT. Taylor maintained. had reaped tremendous benent as result of territorial expansion.
 Towards the end of his address MT. Taylor paid his respects to enormous fortunes and the philanthropies result ing from them.
 He sad: T know of no monster so dangerous to the life of republic as one who can in a moment throw be- wildering millions in one direction or the other, especially when those mii- lions grow out of abnormal condt- ttons that should not exist.
 The ominipotent dispenser may throw his millions in good direction coday: it is sure to be in bad one tomorrow.
 But most and worst of all. he is an image breaker: ne is an iconociast who shatters the ideals upon which the life of this nation was founded. There was a time when our young men thought it worth while to strive to be like Marshall. Webster. Emer- son and Washington Irving.
 But how long will those illusions last under the teachings of the new gospel hich proclaims that nothing is worth while except the brute force by masses of money?
 ''1f this thing goes on we can soon close all departments of our untvsrsi- ties except those that apply the prin- ciples of physical science to the pro- duction of material wealth or its equivalent. The long arms Of the federal government may be able to break off the top of tree but if we desire to cut to the root of these ab- normal accumulations which are shattering all healthy ideals we must go for the axe to the armorles that held the reserved power of the States

Ex-PREsIDENT SPEAKS TO cHI-
 CAG0 CLUB.
Says He Contracted soIemDity By sit- ting Next To It-Draws Lesson
 of Patriotism From Wash
 fngton's Birthday.

1 Chicago. Feb 22--Grover Cleveland was the guest of honor tonight at the 1 Union League Club. sharing the honors with Richard Watson Glider of New York, and Howard l.. Smith. Dean of the University of Wisconsin Law School.
 In Introducing Mir. Cleveland. Judge Cutting. the toastmaster. referred to the question as to what the United States should do with its ex-Presidents. and declared that the solution of the ; difficulty stood before them. The only ex-President. which the United States possesses" he said. "has so absolutely. so creditably. so happily disposed of himself that there Is noth- ing left for the country to do in his behalf. What more could man ask than he hast He has Princeton; he has a family of children, which he loves, and more than all. he has Mrs. Cleve- land"
 "when MT. Cleveland arose he was greeted with applause. which lasted for several minutes.
 ferred to a delicate and tender sub- ject, what shall be done with our ex- Presidents.
 Tt has been suggested that they be taken out in a five acre lot and shot. It seems to me. however. that an ex- President has already suffered that which should give him immunity from anv sunh thing.
 'T think the hest rlace for an ex- President is in the water. and espe- cisIly water where there are plenty of fish.
 'I have always understood that an after dinner speech must be in kind of merry and complimentary mood Now am essentially sober man. and I am n.4 altogether to blame for this I think that the voters of the United States are truly implicated as accesso- ries before the fact, because they put me in a position where I contracted solemnity a good deal as the boy caught the measles-by sitting next to 1t. would not have all our peop.e sober. But would have them thoughtful and I would have them c 'triotic. In the midst nf all their hopefulness would have them remember that more than all there Is a duty, stern duty. al ways present that they owe to their country, and this duty is patriotism.
 When we believe that we are mere ly contributors to this fund of patri- otism and that this fund is fund of love, a fund of brotherhood and a fund Of fairness and a fund of Amer ican opportunity, then we have the right Idea of American citizenship.
 Fnthusiastic applause followed the brief address of MT, Cleveland.

BUT CUTICURA WORKS
 4 MIRACULOUS CURE

Swhen my little boy was six months old he had eczema. The sores extended 60 quickly over the whole body that we at once called in the doctor. We then went to another doctor, but he could not help him, and in our despair We went to a third one. Matters be- came so bad that he had regular holes in Into. The food had to be given with Q spoon, for his mouth was covered with crusts as thick as finger, and when- Sver he opened the mouth they began to bleed and suppurate, ns did also his eyes. Hands, arms, chest, and back, in short the whole body was covered over and over. We had no rest by day or night. Whenever he was laid ID ms bed, we had to pin his hands down, otherwise he would scratch his face and make an open sore. l think his face must have itched most fearfully.
 We finally thought nothing could help, and had made up my mind to send my wife with the child to Europe, hoping that the sea air might cure him, otherwise he was to be put under good medical care there. But, Lord be blessed. matters came differently. and we soon saw a miracle. A friend ot ours spoke about Cuticura. We made 6 trial with Cuticura Soap, Ointment, and Resolvent, and within ten days or two weeks we noticed decided i'm provement. Just as quickly as the aickness had appeared it also began to disappear, and within ten weeks the child was absolutely well, and his skin was smooth and white as never before. v.

 Increase on 4. c. L.
 The Richmond Dispatch says: White brakemen and hagmen of the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad will receive an in- crease fin wages amounting to 15 per cent. af.er the first of March. A com mittee from the Brotherhod of Rail- road Trainmen has just returned from Rocky Mount N. C., where a conference was held with officials of the railroad, and the result was that the increase in wages for the white employees. to go into effect the first of next month, was promised. The increase means that the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad will pay in salaries mex. year about s35.000 more than it dld last year.
 'The front brakemen, who are as a rule negroes, will not receive the fn- crease. The rear brakemen, or fiagmen. as they are known in railroad circles. will get the increase.
 '"The authority for the statement is a wellknown conductor on the road; who had talked with several of the men who attended the conference between employees and employers in Rocky Mount"
