FROM THE NATION'S CAPITAL.
From Our Oven Correspondent.
WASHINGTON, D. C., March 10, 1002.
It WM decidedly good politics fox the
Democratic Senators to notify the Re
publicans that they would not oppose
tho .taking of a vote on the ship sub
sidy bill, now before the Senate, s,Zter
they had presented their reasons
against the bill. Some of those rea
soed and concludive ont*, too
were given in the speeches of Senators
Clay, Vest and other* this wee'., and
others will follow, 'l?b?the .Demo
crats will allow th d Republicans to paa?
this bill, which wJU put millions of the
people's dollars 'roto the pockets of a
single class-tho shipbuilders-and ap
peal the case to Vue people. In every
Congressional du > trie t of the country
the voters will be asked to declare for
or against this vioioua class legislation.
During the campaigns when this legis
lation .was only contemplated Repub
lican speakers in many districts dodged
the question. With the law on the
statute books by the votes of Republi
cana and the signature of a Republican
President, it cannot be dodged. Ita
vicions principle must be supported or
opposed, and th? only right way to opr
pose it will bo to vote the Democratic
ticket.
Republican members of the Senate
committee on Tinonee appear to have
seen a new light on the question of re
pealing the war taxes. At tfiis'week'c
meeting of the committee, which wai
the first that has considered the House
bill repealing the war taxes, instead of
the talk about there being doubts as tc
the wisdom of making such a big cut ix
the revenues, which was prevalent
among them ; when the bili passed th<
House, they talked as thoa gh-the re
porting of the bill to the Senate, witl
a few connecting amendments, was i
matter of course.
-Gov. Taft told the HOCBC Insnlai
Committee this week that the estima
; ted number of slaves in the Southon
Moro group of the Philippines, wai
260,000, or nearly one-fonrth of th?
population, and made the astounding
statement that if the Americans Bhoulc
try to end slavery by force they wooli
be*fought by the slaves. He alsotolt
the committee a piece of news-that hi
had attempted to find out the exac
number of slaves in the islands, with i
View to buying their freedom. Evi
dendy Gov. Taft has a big idea of th
buying capacity of this' government
He is trying hard to persuade Congres
to provide for the purchase of thelani
owned by the friars, and he was goini
to arrange for the purchase of the lib
erty of the slaves without toking th
trouble to say anything, to Congres
about it. Well, when a govern m on
ignores its constitution whenever i
suits its party bosses, it cannot expec
its officials to have much regard for il
Representative Richardson, of Tenn,
has announced that owing to othe
work he has promised to do, it will h
impossible for him to serve again a
Chairman of the Democratic Congres
Bionnl Campaign Committee. Becaus
of the belief, growing in strength ever
day, that the Democrats will elect
majority of the nextHonse, there j
much good-natured rivalry for this pc
sition, although if properly filled i
carries a lot of bard work with it.
Senator Cockrell, in a speech againe
an Indian land treaty, strongly attach
ed the whole administration policy
and declared that the government ha
no more right to bny Indian lands an
turn them over to nome-steaders tho
it had to bny lands in Ohio. Indiana, t
any other State and turn them over i
home-steaders.
Speaker Henderson's advices froi
his district are by no means satiei'actoi
and he is thoroughly alarmed over h
prospects for another term in Congres
His attitude on the tariff is understoc
to be what has weakened him in ti
district, where there aro many Rep ul
licacs who agree with Mr. Babcoc
that if the Republicans rei usa to ref or
. the acknowledged abuses in the teri:
the people will elect a Democrat
Congress todo it. If he had it toe
over again it io doubtful whether M
Henderson would express the san
tariff views, but he is where he cann
very well crawfish, owing to hishavii
committed himself too strongly in pe
oonal letters, the authenticity of whit
cannot be questioned like Btatemec
in a newspaper interview.
Senator-elect McCreary, of Ko
tucky, is in Washington, receiving t
congratulations of his CongressTori
and other friends. He is the sar
jolly fellow he was when a member
the House. Speaking of his return
public" life he said: "I am real
pleased to come back to Was liing tc
for my experience is that when a tn
gets used to being in public life it ii
hard habit to break. For a while aft
leaving Congress I thought of abs
doning politics, but somehow my ref
lui.ou didn't stick, au.lns Kentucl
stood in need of being redeemed, I h
to get in to the battle and do my sh?
toward the work of redemption. Tl
was accomplished very sa ti sf ac tor i
and now it has gone back to Its an cit
Democratic moorings, there to renn
permanently."
The Panama lobby got it in the ne
again this week, when tho sub-comm
tee of the Senate Inter-oceanio Can
Committee reported against accepti
tho Panama Canal Co's, oiler to st
because of tho international and otl
complications involved in the title
what it offers to sell. The most no
ble feature of tho present Bitnatiot
Senator Hanna's open command of t
forces that are working for the Pana1
rente. However, Senator Morgan n
other advocates of the Nicaragua roi
regard victory as certain, although 1
tl gu L vu Hits iioor of the Senate ?>ny
long and bitter. -
The beet sugar. Republicans ht
dethroned the Republican Hoi
bossea for the time and hung up
Cuban tariir concession bill, repor
from the Ways and Mear Commitl
Mr. Roosevelt wrote a ft '. hot messi
and wotdd have fired it at Congress
once, bnt the House bosses succeet
in getting him to go slow awhile
give them a chance to see what ti
can do. Democrats are watching i
fight with great interest, and are
th? aler.S to take advantage of any
portnnity it may give them to ecol
! point while the Republican factions

Should homage be paid Senator Tillman
when bo baa been tue cause of bringing
ignominy upon South Carolina? or ad
herence be awarded bim when bia con
dual has boon auch that lt might drive
away from our State tho progressive and
educated men who with capital and hou? j
holda would be intent upon habltatlng
upon tho whltoblown aores of the South

Men have respect to surroundings ; to
be a denizen of South Carolina may, per
haps, lu a abort time be ignominious.
Senator Tillman, the pity lt 1B, hlacom
bnatable temperament heated, perhaps,
seven times by the Inflammable spirit
that would for Ita own congenial affinity
create the legal liquor traffic of his native
State, jumps upon and physically affronts
bia Intellectual neighbor in the Senate,
becauae that neighbor possessed the dis
criminating judgment to pronounce the
Senator's misrepresentation of himself In
Tlllmanlo Saxon-"a He." The oontign
OUB Senator did not coronate hui Senior's
misstatement-falsehood, untrath, fabri
cation. In language of hurt pride, devoid
of rlbalry, he employed Senator Till
man's own figure of punctuated argu
ment in appraising the offence, kindly
refraining to appropriate a qualifying
-," whloh Tillman himself under less
provocation would have embellished
with a flourish. For this the Senator did
not thank him; the apology he should
warmly have tendered the. offended, and
especially for his mit representation be
hind hlabrother Senator's back. When
a man cannot defend himself, he with
cold Indifference offered the Senate, not
because the House considering him In his
charaoterzatlon of Southern gentleman
would oxpuot lt, but because the apology
waa a requirement of parliamentary
ethics. His apology waa :
"My previous service as Governor of
South Carolina for four years had unfit
ted me in a measure to enter this august
nesembly with that dignity and proper
regard for its traditions and habita and
rules that la desirable."
Considering the loyal and high-born
antiquity of the Sooth, caa the gentle
men of South Carolina stand auch lan
guage and be allont? If they can, no
relief or opposition may be expected of
peasantry and laymen If the fact of being
Governor of South Cai Una for four years
la flagrantly acouaed of robbing a man of
natural politeness and public decency,
so that aa a gentleman he is unfit the as
sociations of gentlemen, then is it time
Bouth Carolinians, tor the first in history,
bow to the stigma of all elater States.
Palpable and hugo ls the mistake to
reserve a man ao poor In Intellect, so
meagre in adaptability, and pay him so
lt*rge a sum yearly to alap in the face his
friendB and fellow-countrymen with the
inault that within four yeara' executive
administration In South Carolina he has
lost so much acquired refinement, and
practical good manners that he has not re
claimed himself within seven years' sen
atorial embellishments In the capital st
Washington.
The moral of this little arraignment of
Indignation is, that the people are trnly
becoming tired of these exhibitions as
characterizing South Carolinian gallantry.
All lower look to the higher, and young
er to the older for counsel. Mothers for
bid their ohildreu attending school where
the teachers countenance bad manners,
or rough treatment. A man of respecta
bility will not permit a workman to in
sult with rough words or "blows at a
close range" the beast ia his stable.
There ia a growing longing for refine
ment, sn aspiration for goodness, and lt
does not accord with tho example of our
Senator at Washington. Tho women,
though they may not vote, talk. They
denounce the author of the liquor dis: BU*
sary with ita baneful influence upon the
young, and aspirants of further attain
ments who would outer the city. They
combine the consequence of the liquor
and the conduct of tue Napoleon at the
State helm, and tho agreement together
in computation ls in their oyes not fav
orable to tho Senator's illimitable suo
CeShame and sneer, laugh and derision
arise wherever the "artair of honor" ia
mentioned, and Mr. Tillman so long hav
ing distinguished himself lu such gallan
try is by all at firs*, breath branded with
being the entire cause and effect of this
laat exhibition. .
Our city papers reaching Northern pub
llcatione, it ia our ambition that even the
most mcdsst eyes r?mjhlng tueao South
ern aentlmenta should know ua not by
misrepresentation in Washington but by
representation of character in the South.
We ar? aspiring, we uro slink i HR off the
duat of dark ages, our feet tread the white
labor of the honest fields, our eyes behold
the benign blue of the heavens. We have
schools, which despite aome disparage
ment or their support, are nurtured by
the pure principles of the young women
and young men of the loyal South. The
Sooth has ita historv, ita hope or the fu
ture, all nurturing and expanding the
nighest intellectual and patriotic faoul
tlea of the brain, and thia imperious Car
olina projecting its native pride into the
future, meat assuredly proclaim her-elf
mistress of her destiny, reigning over,,
not under, aught that would bring her
dishonor or dls-ease. R. R. I<.
