SITUATION IN ULSTER. II
Officers Believed TO Have Been Told
They Would Not Have to
Fight Ulster

London. March 24.-The detection
of the army officers who refused to
IIserve in Ulster is now a closed Incl
dent, but its consequences are likely
ito be far-reaching.
Premier Asquith and Colonel Seeiy,
Secretary of State for War, made ex-
plantations before an excited and tur-
bulcnt house yesterday that the whole
affair was the result of a misunder-
standing The misunderstanding, it
was inferred, although they d. MOI
directly say so, was due to miscon-
struction of the Government plans by
the commanding general, Sir Arthur
Paget, whereby he informed the Off
GERS in Ireland that q hey were to move
on Ulster for repressive campaign.
General Paget and three senior Off
GERS from the Curragh Camp-Gen-
eral Cough, Colonel McEwan and Col.
Parker-were summoned to London
for a conference. According to off,
cial statements, the misunderstanding
has been cleared away and these off.
GERS returnej to Ireland last night.
Prior to their departure they said they
were entirely satisfied with the results
of their visit.
The terms on which the officers re-
min at their posts were not disclos-
cd, but the general belief is that they
were assured that they would not be
cdrIpelled to fight against the Ulster
men This is considerei a distinct
surrender by the government.
Lord Morley, of Blackburn, explain
ed in the House of Lords significantly
that he did not think in the interests
of the efficiency of the army that ali
that transpired in the army council
should lie made public and that the
King approved the orders to the off
GERS to return.
The future of the Home-Rule bill Is
wrapped in clouds. No declaration OF
"full steam aheai" or meeting force
with force fwere heard rom the llber-
Ials in the debate in the House OF
Commons today. More Of the fire and
firmnass ~hici: .perm&9ted the speech
les OF the Ministers only last week was
in evidence. The army has checkmat-
ed the government. according to the
unionist's view, and the Covenanters
Of Ulster have won their fight
No one will be surprised if the
government soon reinquishes armed
force, as its action has the immediate
result of striking shower of sparks
of class iealousies.

with me to acquiesce in what he and SMITH
had done.
Even then / did not know that HordDicB
had lied to Pope Broom and got him out of
the race by telling him that I a0aqated him to-
retire IN favor Of Smith.
After a long conference, I most unwillingly
agreed to submit to what Hardwick and
Smith had done, my controlling reason being
that the Disfranchisement of the Negro
would certainly be the result.
Everybody knows [ have no i'll will to the
Negro; but he had been stumbling block,
a menace that prevented the whites from
dividing and a means by which the Northern
Democrats coerced the South. In my opinion,
it was best for both races that the blacks be
left out of politics. Therefore, [ consented
on certain conditions not now important to
the public, to support Hoke Smith, because
he aOds on noy platfO1me
That's the Gods truth about the campaign
Of 1906.
How Smith broke all his other pledges, and

attacks upon our county unit plan-and thus
made a complete breach between us-is

provokes me to tell it, the people will, learn

U. S. DEMANDS ON CARRANzA.

New Orleans.-What purported to be details
of demands made by the United States on General
Carranza, through which Carranza's representa-
tives would be admitted to the mediation con-
ference at Niagara Falls, given out today by
Fernando Inglesias Calderon, chief of the Liberal
party of Mexico, who is route to Washington.
The traveller said the United States had
demanded that all property of the Catholic church
confscated by the Constituencies should be
returned to the church. the buildings destroyed
should be paid for, that priests should be pro-
tected and that priests driven out of the country
should be allowed to return to their country.
To this Carranza replied, according to Senior
Caderons statement, that the Constitutional1st
laws of reform provided that all church property
should go to the State when needed and also that
the priests must go.
Similar news comes to me from all sources.
The foot-kissing papists of this Republic
are using the Jesuit private secretaries OF
Wilson and Bryan most successfully.
The Romanists of Mexico are determined
not to surrender any of their vast loot, not to
free the poor native poems, and not to abate
one jot or title of the oppressive power OF
Spanish land -grabber and Spanish priest.

eAultd1Cly, crying alOud Allan Is great.
Then they counted the money, and found that
the sum was $4,000.
After which, William Jenkins B. flew
aboard Special Train, furnished by August
Belmont, and began to repeat, IS times day,
a thrilling speech, advocating the election to
the Presidency one Alton B. Parker, the
Moses of the Democracy and the Savior of
the People.
By way of this Overture, get to my sub
ject which is, that qobon the Democratic Party
IN 1904 q0ent Deer to the RepW6zic04as, refused
to go with it.
On the contrary, took my stand on the
platform which the dollar-loving Bryan had
deserted and I spoke for Democratic princi-
Piles, all the way from the Savannah River to
the Rocky Mountains.
Without money and without price, and with
a zeal that perhaps was all folly, I passion
ately endeavored to arouse the people against
the time serving leaders who had sold them
out to Wall Street and Special Privilege.
Bryan's paid-for advocacy of Parker pre-
vented me from getting the anti-Republican
vote; and Bryan's activity for Parker assured
the election of Roosevelt.
Had not Bryan's lung been cured with
Ryan-Belmont money, would have built up
a real party of Opposition to Wall Street, the
Trusts and Special Privilege
On the night of Sep. 1, 1904, [ spoke at the
capitol in Atlanta; and in meeting the charge
so often made against us that we were the
Niger Party, I made this proposition:
"If yoW Democrats aoiW 1'm1o q man for Co..
e17aor, on q pzatformo pzedgimg him to dis
franchise the Negro, a0e P0pu1ists q05W help
you elect hamo."
That was the substance of the proposition,
made after consultation with Populist leaders,
in my room at the Piedmont Hotel.
The speech was reported for the Atlanta
papers, was published next day, and can be
found in their files.
Ny recollection is, that the stenographer
who took it down was my friend, d. O. Smith.
There must be hundreds of men yet living
in Atlanta who heard the speech and who
remember my proposal
Up to that time, Disfranchisement of the
Negro had not received 90 votes in the legis-
lature. Hardwicb had made no more head
way there, than he has made in Congress
repeating the 18th and 18th Amendments.
After Bryan had elected Roosevelt, Sydney
Tapp of Atlanta came to my home in Thorn
son, one Saturday evening and spent the
night. He brought a message from Pope
Brown and the draught, of a platform which
he said Brown had written.
1t contained some mighty good stuff, the
main plank being based on my proposal Of
Sept. 1, 1904.
/ told Mr. Tapp that if Mr. Brown should
run for governor on that platform he would
have my hearty support.
Previously, had been out of State politics
for many years, engaged in writing books,
lecturing, and practising law.
Hon. Pope Brown entered the race for Gov
ernor, on the platform that Mr.. Tapp had
brought to my house. I announced my inten-
ton to support Mr.. Browns candidacy.
In few weeks, to my utter establishment
and discontinue, Pope Brown withdrew from
the race in favor of Hoke Smith I had not

Are the Voters of Texas GOING
To Allow the Italian PODe'S
Roman Catholic Priest To
Dictate To Them?

IN Ireland, the shaven-headed priests of
Z Rome order the voters how to vote, just as
though the voters were gang OF slaves.
In every pope-ruled country, they do the
same thing.
Not long ago, lot of Texas knights Of
Columbus sent message to the Italian priest,
Joseph Sarto, in which these Texans expressed
themselves as being ''prostrate at the feet" Of
this Italian foreigner.
All over this country, the shaven- headed
froc1wearers are trying to control politics.
In New York, they do it. In Massachusetts,
they do it. In Louisiana, they do it. In
Texas, they are trying to do it.
Why should the Romanist priests be trying
to elect j. 4. Ferguson, to the office of Cover
nor?
Why do these oath bound subjects of a for
eigner endeavor to influence our elections?
What right have the sworn vassals Of the
Italian pope to dictate to our people?
From est. Mary's Church, comes the COM
mand Of P. A. Hickman, Romanist priest,
ordering all the "prostrate- atty our- feet"
crowd to vote for j. r. Ferguson, because he
has given SO much money to the pope's church
and been such a friend to this foreign organi-
zation-an organization which is, and always
has been, the deadliest enemy to human pro-
gress to civil and religious liberty, to free
Bibles, and to popular self government.
If Ferguson is such a good friend to the
foreign church which is the implacable foe Of
free speech, free press, and free conscience,
he Is not good America1o, and he, has no
right to expect the votes of those who appre-
ciate the liberties which our forefathers won
from popes and kings.
Eternal vigilance is the price we must pay
to keep these blood bought liberties.
