Special Washington Correspondence.
Washington, D. C., July 5, 1903.
Undoubtedly one of the Democratic
leaders and one of the ablest men In
the House of Representatives is the
Hon. David A. De Armond, of Mis
souri. Judge De Armond has been in
Congress since 1890, having been first
eleoted to the Fifty-Second Congress
and re-elected to each succeeding Con
gress. He is one of the ablest lawyers
in the Congress and a member of the
Committee on Judiciary. He was the
chotoe of the Missouri delegation for
the caucus nomination for Speaker In
the Fifty Eighth Congress when it
convenes, but he refused to Btand for
the nomination, and the choice then
fell to Hon. Champ Clark. If the
Democrats bad carried the House he
undoubtedly would have been a can
didate for Speaker, but he did cot care
to undertake to harmonize the factions
In the party In the House as the floor
leader. The Judge realizes his short
comings as a good mixer with men.
Ha has none of the bon homme,
camaraderie characteristics in his
mental makeup. He is short on cheap
talk and long on thinking. He Is
essentially a thicker and a student,
and never loses any time indulging In
cloak-room stories. He does not in
spire affection, but compels admiration
from his Democratic colleagues, and Is
feared and disliked by the Republi
cans. He is tee greatest verbal
evlscerator in the House, and can per
form the neatest job of skinning and
gutting an opponent of any man in
the Congress. He is a human wasp,
and his stinger is always ready for
business. He is not an orator, in the
true sense of the word, for he has a
monotonous and metallic voice that Is
not pleasant, and he rarely gesticu
lates. His diction, however, is almost
perfect, and he is one of the few men
in Congress who neyer corrects the re
porters' notes for insertion in the
Record. When he gets through his
speech Is a finished production. As a
sample of his dexterity with scalpel
and rapier, he once Bald of an oppon
ent, who had a penchant for spilling
large gobs of printer's Ink and volum
inously vociferating to the reporters:
"He Is, Mr. Chairman, the most re
markable man I ever knew. When he
is not writing he is talking, and when
he Is not talking he is writing, and he
does both without ticking."
Judge De Armond is an amiable and
kindly gentleman, a ripe scholar, an
able lawyer, and a splendid legislator.
His retirement from Congress would
be a dlstlnot loss to the Democratic
party and to the cation.
It Is the general consensus of opinion
here that the decision of Federal Judge
Laoombe, of New York, in the case
against the anthracite coal-carrying
roads brought by Mr. William R.
Hearst, to the effect that they cannot
be compelled by the Interstate Com
merce Commission to produce their
contracts with the mining companies
is unmitigated "stuff." The ComraiS'
slon represents the Government, whloh
has a constitutional right to regulate
commerce between the different States.
This being admitted, why shouldn't
the Commission have the right to de'
mand the production of papers bearing
upon the regulation of Interstate com'
mercer Judge Lacombe may be a
learned Judge, but he does not seem
to be equipped with a burdensome
quantity of common sense. His ruling
will be appealed to the United States
Supreme Court, where it will un
doubtedly be swept aside with scant
courtesy. If there is an anthracite
ooal trust in existence (and everybody
knows there Is), then it is the duty of
the courts to facilitate and not to ob
struct the Government's efforts to In'
vestlgate and to suppress it. There Is
nothing unreasonable In asking cor
porations to produce papers in evl
denoe whleh alone will enable the
Interstate Commerce Commission to
judge whether the laws of the land
are being violated or not. If the Coal
Trust thinks that William Randolph
Hearst is a quitter they have another
and a larger think coming.
' '
Although Seoretary Root, of the War
Department, has temporarily side-
tracked the opium business In the
Philippines in order to get the peo
ple to quit thinking about It, it un
doubtedly is the intention of the
American administration to establish
an opium monopoly In those islands.
When It does it will receive a rake-off

thousand dollars per annum. This
sort of monopoly should work wonders
in the archipelago. 1 he merits of
opium as a Christianizing and civiliz
ing agency are well established. Per
haps the Government obtained val
uable pointers from Downing Street in
regard to the advantages of an opium
monopoly.
The British have done a lucrative
and flourishing business in opium ever
since they introduced it in China.
Considering the splendid effects which
the dope has produced In the Celestial
regions, Tail's government has every
reason to be exuberantly optimistic
about the consequences io follow the
setting up of an opium monopoly In
the Philippine Islands. The dope
should prove more officacious than
Bibles and guns.
.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
Poetoffice Department investigation
afforded President Roosevelt a fine op
portunity to "make good" in a man
ner most pleasing to his countrymen,
he has neglected the opportunity, has
gone to his summer home and left be
hind him orders that the "gag rule"
must be enforced, no news given out
and the Investigation practically
abandoned. The disclosures so far
made leave no doubt In an Intelligent
mind that the investigation has only
begun that "worse remains behind."
The greedy fangs of corruption have
fastened themselves upon every branch
of the postal service. Mr. Brlstow's
report gives substantial proof of
shameless trafficking in offices, graft
leg in almost every bureau, of bill
and brazen defiance of all civil service
rules, and of the damnably pernicious
influence of party considerations in
the administration of one of the great
est departments of the Government.
One of the results of the investiga
tion is the discovery that the four
States of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and
Iowa have been especially favored In
the distribution of rural mall routes.
As three of these are pivotal States In
national elections, the reason of this
favoritelsm is perfectly obvious. If
Mr. Payne Is really 111, he cannot be
blamed for it. A national scandal of
this kind is enough to make anybody
sick." In Its purely moral aspect, it
bears a strikingly close resemblance
to the Panama affair in France, which,
In Its course, besmirched the reputa
tions of almost every leading politician.
The Poetoffice Department has become
absolutely rotten. Every branch of
the service needs reform and lots of It.
It is the President's duty to leave
nothing undone to bring every culprit
to justice. The scandal is no longer a
matter of lurking suspiolon. It has
advacoed into the indestructible realm
of facts. This being the case, every
political grafter, blood-sucker and
briber should be hunted down and held

up for public condemnation. The
national administration, which hap
pens to be Republican, has reached
the point where retreat is no longer
posilble. It must, nolens volens, go
ahead, honestly and fearlessly or take
the consequences, Does the latest
step look as though it were going to
do this thing? Does it look aB though
the people of the country are going to
get the facts of this matter when the
"gag rule" is applied to the officers of
j the department and no action taken
in the cases of men already indicted
of heinous offenses?
The people will never know the ex
tent of rottenness in the PoBtoffice De
partment until there is a change in
national administration. A Congres

publican majority will only smother
things. How long will the people
stand It? Chakles A. Edwards.

Stop Lynching and Mob Rule.
The other day at Belleville, Illinois,
almost at the very back door of St.
Louis, a mob lynched a negro. He
was not an ordinary negro. He had
been, a school teacher and he was
charged with shooting a superintend
ent of schools. The man he shot did
not die. Io fact he recovered. But
the negro who shot him 1b still dead,
and his family are in sore need of him.
At Evansville, Indiana, a mob took
possession of the town the other night
and shot and killed among others an
innocent woman. It was like the mob
at Belleville, not an ordinary one. It
was made up like that at Belleville of
many men who should have known
better.
B. J. Ewen, of Jackson, Bresithltt
county, Kentucky, saw a man de
liberately shoot another In the court-
bouse there. The crime was one of
many In a political fend which has
stained Kentucky with blood. Ewen
had not been In this feud. Business
Interests would have impelled him to
say nothing of what he Baw. But in
defense of law and order he came for
ward at the appointed time and told
the truth. Thereupon the faction to
which belonged the man accused of the
murder decided to kill this witness.
They served notice upon him that he
could have 5000 to repudiate his
testimony or abscond. Otherwise his
property would be destroyed and he
would be shot. Ewen refused to be
bought. He stood fast for law and
order. He did his duty as a man and
a citizen. He . continued to uphold
the laws and aid in their enforcement.
Because' he did his duty his place of
business has been burned by the mob.

He and his family are homeless and
penniless. He would not have even
his life but for a body-guard of militia.
Such is the lot of a law abiding man
and citizen in Breathitt county, Ky.
In Belleville, in EvanBville, in
Breathitt county, Kentucky, the lemon
taught by these lyncings and burnings
is tbe same. The duty of the State is
obvious in each and every caBe. All
the powers of each and every one of
these States should be exerted to
puciBh the men who took part in these
bloody crimes.
The only way to deal successfully
with mobs like that at Evan3ville and
Belleville Is to shoot into them and
then shoot again and again. A mob
Is the personification of anarchy and
should be suppressed at every hazard.
Half-way or temporizing measures are
worse than useless. Mobs should be
dealt with as summarily as they deal
with those who fall into their hands.
The duty of Kentucky is plain. The
whole power of the State ought to be
exerted, If necessary, to protect B. J.
Ewen, to punish his persecutors and
to enable him to live In peace and
safety. Such men as he cannot be
spared. St. Louis World.

A member of the Illinois Legislature
is engaged in the effort to do away
with the official chaplain. He thinks
that the various clergymen living In
the State capital should be called
upon from time to time to open the
Legislative proceedings with prayer.
The name of this member is Repre
sentative Harry Oldam, and he has
considerable support in his proposed
reform. The Chicago Record-Herald,
referring editorially to the subject,
says: "Representative Oldam be
lieves it is proper that the delibera
tions of tbe Legislature should be
opened with prayer, but he regards
the official prayer that Is paid for by
the State at the rate of $1 a minute as
an affront to Christianity. He calls
attention to the undignified scramble
that is made for the position at the
opening of each session and to the
fact that its duties are generally in
trusted to a political henchman of the
speaker, who frames his petitions to
suit the maohlne. It is recalled that
on the morning after the riot and tbe
organization of the rump house at the
last session the chaplain offered a
prayer In which he referred to Speaker
Miller as 'one of those brave, strong
men who arise from time to time .to
guard the State from peril.' For this
encomium upon the tool of tbe bosses
the State paid three dollars, and It
paid the same amount every morning,
whether the Legislature was In ses
sion or not. Most sensible and con
sistent Christian men will agree with
Representative Oldam that such
prayers are an affront to Christianity.

servility to the machine, they are as

Mr. Payne's Bright Idea.
It is reported that Postmaster Gen
eral Payno has an idea of dazzling
brilliance and originality. All Wash
ington stands gazing In admiration at
the man whose dome of thought is
capable of so amazing a deliverence.
He actually proposes to put the PoBt
office Department upon a business
basis!
Of course Mr. Payne came to Wash
ington with the Idea that "to tbe vic
tors belong the spoils;" that the test
ofj fitness for office was neither intelli
gence cor industry, but Congressional
"pull;" that the poBtoffice was designed
not to carry letters, but to arrange for
delegates. But he has actually dis
covered although "it is understood
tbat Mr. Wynne suggested It" that
the postoffice is a business and should
be conducted aB one.
Intelluctual Mr. Payne! If he shall
really proceed with "determination,
persistence and courage" to "take
politics out of the postoffice and take
the postoffice out of politics" he will
be entitled to all the honors not only
of a reformer, but of a political Co
lumbus. New York World.
Major Fred F. B. Coffin, of Huron,
S. D , claim 8 to be the laet man fired
upon during the civil war. The Huron
correspondent for the Chicago Inter
Ocean says: "Major Coffin was In the
last battle of the war, which occurred
at Palmetto Ranch, Texas, on May 12th
and 13th, 1865. The Union forces
were commanded by Gen. Theodore H.
Barrett; the Confederate forces by
Gen. J. E. Slaughter. On the night
of May 11th General Barrett sent Col.
David Branson with the Sixty-Second
United States Infantry and two com
panies of the First Texas cavalry to
destroy a Confederate outpost and
camp at Palmetto Ranch. The camp
was captured and destroyed. About
i o'clock on the morning of the May
13th General Barrett arrived with the
Thirty-Fourth Indiana infantry. An
advance was made and the Confeder
ates were driven about two miles be
yond Palmetto Ranch. When the
Union troopB arrived there General
Barrett ordered Major Fred F. B.
Coffin, then a captain, to take com
mand of tbe skirmishers. In a short
lime Captain Carrlngton rode up to
the weet end of the grade with a de
tachment of Confederate cavalry and
opened fire. He soon ordered a re
treat. As the Confederates were leav
ing one cavalryman wheeled hie horse
around, dismounted, took deliberate
aim, and fired at Majoc Coffin. The
ball struck in the sand about six feet
In front of him. This was at sun
down on May 13, 1865. The follow
ing morning an order was received to
the effect that General Dick Taylor
and General Klrby Smith had sur
rendered to General Sheridan, which
incident closed the war."
