Marshall Jewell Never Could Learn
Why the Chief Executive Forced
Him to Resign as Post
master General.

In 1873, Marshall Jewell, who had
been twice governor of Connecticut
was sent by President Grant as minis
ter to Russia. The following year ne
was recalled and given the post Vi
postmaster general. TWO years later
he resigned that portfolio, and popular
rumor had it that he was forced 10 uo
so because he had disagreed with the
president over the action OF Secretary
of the Treasury Benjamin ii. Brlsto"
in uncoyering and prosecuting lhe III
ternal revenue collectors and the ois-
tiIIers who were implicated in the
"whisky ring" frauds which cost the
government hundreds of thousands OF
dollars during the Grant auIhlhlsti
ton. That is the reason given TO-DAY
for Mr.. JEWELS resignation IN ms
biographies, yet Mr.. Jewell hlrnseH
once assured me that he did not know
why he had been forced to resign from
the cabinet, and that he believed no
man living knew except Generai
Grant.
Fright I'D to the moment that l was
asked to resign as postmaster gen
eral" said Mr.. Jewell, 81 was most
happy in my relations with the presi-
dent and the cabinet. Especially was
this true as regards the president MIN
self 1t was utterly without my Kno"F
edge that he nominated me as minis
ter to Russia. 1t was also without my
knowledge that he decided to call me
TO his cabinet. So, you see, had
every reason to believe that the presi-
dent felt very kindly towards me- ana
7 am most positive that l entertained
only the most cordial feelings for MN.
"WeII. one day when the last cabl-
NET meeting l was destined to take
mart in had lust closed and we were
on the point of leaving the cabinet
room, the president turned TO me
4 would like to see you moment art
er the other members of the CABINET
have gone, he said.
"I bowed and, standing, the presi-
dent and saw the rest of the CABINET
out of the room. Then, with the door
closed on the last man, the president
stepped determinedly in front OF me.
"Jewell, he said, with snap OF his
Jaws. 4 want your resignation as post

I want your resignation, and l want
YOU to write it here and now.'

ly as a woman's. that would not do at

welt very well. He undoubtedly was
thinking of his soldiers-of their suf-
ferings-when he wrote as he did, and
was anxious that something should be
done for their health and comfort,

the fault of impulsive kindness. Tech
nically you may be right, but we can
not afford to be too technical. Oh. no.
1t would never do to summon Col
Roosevelt before a court martial, In
view of the kindly sympathy he had
for his soldiers when he wrote that
communication
"Of COURSE" continued Mr.. Alger,
there was no appeal from the presi-
dents decision. But l went back to
the war department still indignant at
Col. Roosevelt; and not until some
days later did begin to realize that
the president had shown the wisest
kind Of discretion in the matter. In
deed. when recall all that President
Mckinley had to bear in those war
days am more than ever impressed
with the wisdom of his judgment in
refusing to authorize the court martial
of Col. Roosevelt"

me for forcing me to take this action.
What situation! l believe 1T is
unique in the history of the cabinet.
And there was only one thing for me
to do saw that clearly. That was
to comply with the presidents wishes,
and as speedily as possible. So, then
and there, l took the paper and pen
that he proffered me and sat down at
the cabinet table and wrote out my
resignation. Then l handed 1t to the
president, who vouchsafed not word,
and 1 turned on my heel and depart
ed."
And you don't know to this day
why the president demanded your
resignation" ?" l asked.
mo, l do not" Mr.. Jewell replied,
"and l believe l never shall. For
some time following my resignation,
some of my friends tried TO learn the
reason, but were met with silence.
Since then / have tried many a time
to explain Grants action to myself,
but always without success. l know
for a certainty, however, that / was
not forced out of the cabinet because
of any disagreement with the presi-
dent over the manner of the prosecu-
tion of the whisky ring frauds. There
never was any such disagreement be-
tween us, nor any other disagreement
up to the time that l left the cabinet.
So far as / know, only Grant himself
knows why he made me resign, and
have a feeling that l shall go to my
grave with the mystery unsolved."
M talk with Mr.. Jewell took place
a little while before he, as chairman
of the Republican national committee,
led his party to victory in the cam
paign of 1880. Three years later he
died, and to the best of my knowledge
and belief, and that of some of his
closest friends, he never learned why
he was so peremptorily ousted from
the postmaster generalship.

Alser's story Of How the Kindly
President Refused to Have Colonel
Roosevelt Accused and
Put on Trial.

About a year before his death.
which occurred in 1907. met for the
last time Russell A. Alger. volun-
teer general in the Civil war, govern
or of and United States senator from
Michigan. a strong candidate for the
Republican presidential nomination In
1888, and secretary of war in the
first Mckinley cabinet.
Whenever | think of William Nc
Kinley always think first Of his low
able character, and then OF his great
tact and wise discretion" said Mr. AL
ger. And then l always recall the
time when l, as secretary of war, went
to him, as president, to complain of
one of Col. Theodore Roosevelt's acts
In Cuba.
mo one who has not served In
cabinet, or other highly responsible po-
sition under a national administra-
ton. can realize how what seem to
be trivial things, may prove to be OF
the utmost consequence; so that the
tendency is for officials often to ex-
aggerate really unimportant trifies ire
mendously. This Is especially true dur
ing period of great stress, as when
war is on; and l suppose that that
was largely my state of mind when
I sought out the president in regard to
Col. Roosevelt.
AT any rate, there appeared one
morning In the newspapers the sub
stance of a communication from Col.
Roosevelt in which he appeared to crit
icise the war department because his
regiment was getting insufficient or
improper food. There was, also, de-
mand that the Rough Riders be imme-
diately ordered from Cuba to some
place where the fevers that were Inn
pairing their health and efficiency
could be got rid of. AS read all this
flared up instantly with Indignation.
1t appeared to me an improper thing
for an army officer to do, and was es-
pecially angry because the communi-
cation had been made public, apparent
ly. before 1t had been sent to the war
department.
"In hot haste I went to the presi-
dent. Mr.. President l said to him,
frankly, as l showed him the article
The Colorado statesman., 1911-02-11
McKinZey's Wise Moderation

in my opinion, this is clear case OF
insubordination. n direct violation OF
the rules of military discipline. More
over, | think the seriousness of the
situation is greatly aggravated by the
fact that this communication. which
should never have been written In the
first place, was given to the press be-
fore It was sent to the war depart
ment.'
THE president calmly put on his
eyeglasses and read the article very
carefully.
"Well, what do you think is best to
do about it?' he asked very quietly.
when he had finished.
"T saw that he was not disturbed In
the least, apparently, by what l had
brought to his notice; but that had no
tendency to cool my Indignation.

since the beginning of the war; had
been severely criticised. as you know.
and possibly that made me little
bit on the raw. So, in answer to the
presidents question, exclaimed.
bluntly:
why, Mr.. President, 1t seems to
me that it is a case calling clearly for
court martial am laying 1t before
you with that object in mind
THE president glanced again at the
article. Then he removed his eye

Blanche X. Bruce Made Grover CIeve'
land Understand Why He Could
Not Accept Reappointment
as Registrar of Treasury.

The first negro to serve in the Unit
ed States senate was the late Blanche
X. Bruce Elected member of that
body in 1875 from Mississippi, when
that state was undergoing reconstruc-
ton, he remained a senator until 1881,
when he was appointed registrar OF
the treasury by President Garfield.
That position Bruce was still hold
ing when Grover Cleveland was inau-
gurated president for the first time.
There was good deal of interest In
the purpose of the new president re-
specting the Office of registrar. 1t was

Negro Convinced President

political influence were anxious to
serve as registrar, yet many of the
presidents friends predicted that he
would keep Bruce in the Office How
ever, another appointment was made
in due course and not until Mckinley
became president did the former reg
istrar emerge from private life, when
he again became registrar of the treas
ury, remaining in that position until
his death the following year.
And yet, for all that Bruce was not
reappointed registrar by President
Cleveland the latter very earnestly
desired that the colored man should
accept reappointment.
Shortly after his Inauguration and
while he was considering. various mi
nor, though important appointments,
the president sent a messenger to the
registrar of the treasury, asking that
official to call upon him. Bruce re-
sponded promptly and was received
with great courtesy.
Senator Bruce" said the presi-
dent, 81 have had many applications
from my personal friends to appoint
some one of my own party as registrar
of the treasury. But l have only one
mind about this appointment since my
election. l am going to reappoint you.
And no appointment that l could make
would give me more qualification"
Bruce was clearly taken aback.
"Why, Mr. President" he said. Il had
not expected anything like this. And
| thank you from the bottom of my
heart, and | shall always remember
with gratitude this proof of your conf
dence in me. But, Mr.. President, 1t
is impossible you must not make this
appointment"
1t was the presidents turn to show
surprise And he did it. But why?'
he asked. There is no good reason
why you should not serve under a
Democratic administration"
mo good personal reason, Mr..
President" responded the registrar,
courteously But there is an impera-
tive political reason why l could not
accept the Office"
Again the president showed plainly
his surprise. What is that? he
oueried. 81 don't understand, can
think of no reason whatsoever that
should deter you from taking an ap-
pointment from me-"
Mr.. President" said Senator Bruce,
81 don't like to say it to you, and
hope you will understand that | say 1t
only to make clear my position to you,
since you have offered me this ap-
pointment-but If | should accept Of
fce-any office whatever-under
Democratic administration, my people
could never be persuaded that l had
not betrayed them"
For a considerable period the presi-
dent looked steadily at the negro be-
fore him, and the longer he looked
the less certain was Bruce of the eff
