A LIMY DEBATE.
Be Senator from Soitk Dakota
Talks Unite Plainly.
EXPOSES THE METHODS
Of McKinley, Hanna & Co., Regard
ing the War in the Philippines.
Says the Administration Deceives
the People by Suppressing Facts.
A special from Washington under
date of the 11th, says: A spirited and
it times sensational debate was precip
itated in the Senate today, on the Phil
ippine question, over resolutions of
inquiry. Mr. Pettigrew, of South Da
kota, attacked the administration's
policy in the Philippines, and also
made some startling charges against
those who are supporting the adminis
tration. He declared that a systematic
effort was being made to prevent ac
curate information from reaching the
people of the United States, and that
it was a political scheme to further
the candidacy of Mr. McKinley for re
nomination and re-election.
At the opening the Pettigrew reso
lution, and the Lodge substitute, both
seeking from the President all infor
mation regarding the Philippine in
surrection, were laid before the Senate.
Mr. Lodge suggested that both be
withdrawn, and the Hoar resolution
adopted as a substitute.
The resolution offered by Mr. Hoar
was sweeping in its call for informa
tion relating to the Philippine insur
rection, but Mr. Lodge said his desire
for all information concerning the
insurrection was so great that pro
posed to offer an amendment extending
its provisions. He said he wanted in
formation especially as to the effect of
the encouragement the Filipinos got
from the United States.
Mr. Hoar agreed with Mr. Lodge.
Mr, Pettigrew objected. He wanted
specific information, regardless of
whether the President wanted it known
or not. He charged the government
with withholding information for po
litical gain.
MThe trouble with the imperialists,"
said Mr. Pettigrew, "is that they have
confounded the interests of the people
of the United States with the political i
desires and ambition of their Presi
dent, and regard him and his success
as more important than a rightful i
treatment of the Filipinos. The fact
is, this whole business is bound up iv
the President's desire again to be the
candidate of his party for President."
Mr. Pettigrew discussed the censor
ing of dispatches from the Philippines.
He declared that important aud sig
nificant facts had been stricken from
news dispatches from Manila, and
from official reports.
As an instance of this work, said he,
the Sulu treaty was mangled and part
ly suppressed until after the election
in Ohio. He declared the proclama
tion issued by the President was, on
the recommendation of Gen. Otis, al
tered materially by the President be
fore it was published to the Philippine
natives. As originally drawn, it
was, to his mind, a flat declara
tion of war, aud when Aguinaldo and
his leaders came into possession of the
original they so regarded it.
'•The whole wretched business," de
clared Mr. Pettigrew, vehemently,
"was oneof concealment andduplicity,
intended to deceive, not only the peo
ple of the United States, but also the
islanders themselves."
■bstantiation of the charge that
patches from the Philippines
:nsored in the interest of the
administration, Mr. Pettigrew quoted
from a letter written by Mr. Robert
M. Collins, the Associated Press rep
resentative at Manila. In this letter
Mr. Collins related the substance of
an interview upon the subject of cen
soring dispatches which he had had
P General Otis.
. Pettigrew read the statements
of Mr. Collins, in which he had said it
was the evident desire of the officials
to prevent certain information from
reaching the people of the United
States. When he (Collins) had filed a
dispatch containing information
which he thought was proper to send
to the United States, he had been in
formed by the censor that he had been
instructed to cut out anything that
might hurt the administration. Sub
sequently, when he had desired to send
a story relating to the use of silver in
the Philippines, the censor had told
him that his instructions were to al
low nothing to pass him which would
be helpful to William Jennings Bryan
in the United States.
Upon this point Mr. Pettigrew be
came particularly sarcastic, and again
adverted to what he termed the Presi
dent's desire to succeed himself, though
essential information had to be sup
pressed to accomplish that end.
Mr. Pettigrew declared that the
President himself really began the war,
and was responsible for it. "If," said
he, "the administration had bad a
spark of honor in dealing with the
Filipinos, it would have told General
Merritt to lay the whole truth of the
intention of the government before
Aguinaldo and his associates."
He believed this would have averted
half the trouble. The shooting by
1 United States sentries of the Filipinos
the night of February 4th, the open
ing of hostilities, was, he said, "a foul
blow, and we were guilty of duplicity
and treachery in killing those men.
That we had flrad the Cyst which
had precipitated hostilities, nobody

Even after the fighting had begun,

ties, but the Filipino leader had been
told by General Otis that now the
fighting had beeu begun, it must con
tinue to the grim end.
"If," said Mr. Pettiorew, "I were a
Filipino, I would fight until I was gray
against the unholy agression of the
United States. If this country is
wrong, this country could take no
grander position before the nations of
the world than to admit that it is
wrong. We have reached the turning
point. We must decide whether we are
to pursue a course of rapacity and ag
gression, on the British principle, or
to pursue a course of justice and right.
No nation long can pursue such a
course as the Imperialists have mark
ed out for vs —a course of wrong and
treachery to friends—aud hope to
stand well before the nations of the
world."
Obituary.
Sampson, Va., Jan. 15.—Edgar L.
Rosson died at his home near this
place on the 4th inst. He had been
sick for a long time with lung trouble,
finally terminating in consumption,
from which disease he died. He was
the last of five children, four of whom
died with the same disease. His fail
ing strength had been noticeable for
some time, but his death came sooner
than expected. He bore his sufferings
with remarkable calmness, never mur
muring a word of complaint. Edgar
was a son of Joel F. Rosson, a civil
war veteran who served through the
war between the States. Since the
father's death the family have passed
through many trying ordeals, losing
one by one of its members, until now
the mother is left alone. Edgar was
born October 23rd, 1874. He professed
religion and joined the Methodist
church about two years ago, and has
been a devoted Christian ever since.
The funeral services were conducted
by Rev. Mr. Smith, of Port Repnblic
His remains were laid to rest in Pleas
ant Hill cemetery on last Saturday
morning. Many congregated at the
burial grounds to pay the last tribute
of respect to the one whom they loved
so dear. The pallbearers were: Aldine
Wine, George Craig, Arthur Taylor,
William Leonard, Charles Taylor and
Ash Vanfossen.

Nature has just one pigment on her
pallette with which she produces all
the marvelous tints of beauty, and
that one pigment is the blood. The
shell-like pink beneath the finger nails,
the delicate rose of the cheek, the cher
ry ripeness of the lips, the irridescent
brilliancy of the eyes are all produced
by the blood. Just as the permanence
of a beautiful paiutmg will depend on
the purity of the colors with which it
is painted, so the permanence of beauty
depends on the purity of the blood.
Paint, powder and cosmetics won't
avail to preserve beauty. Beauty b3
gins in the blood. Dr. Pierces Golden
Medical Discovery is a truebeautifier,
because it provides for nature that
pure blood with which alone she can
paint. The use of this mediciue will
cleanse the skin, heighten the com
plexion, brighten the eyes, and give
to face and form that radiance of
health which is the greatest charm of
beauty. Dr. Pierces Pleasant Pellets

Death of Gen, Dabney H. Maury.
Gen. Dabney A. Maury, who served
with distinction and gallantry in both
the Mexican aud civil wars, and who
spent years fighting the Indians, died
last Thursday at the home of his son
at Peoria, 111.
Gen. Maury was one of the most
chivalrous of the Souths soldiers. He
was a native of Fredericksburg, and
was 78 years of age. He was a son of
John Minor Maury. Though prepar
ed for the law, his taste was for a mil
itary life, and upon graduating from
the University of Virginia he entered
West Point.
Among his classmates were Grant,
McClellan, Burnside, Lee, A. P. Hill
and Stonewall Jackson. He went to
Mexico in 1846 with the Mounted Ri
fles, and served with distinction and
won promotion. He was ordered to
West Point as assistant professor in
ethics, and taught for four years. Af
ter four years' service in Texas he was
sent to Carlisle Barracks as post com
mander and superintendent of cavalry
instruction. During his service there
he published a new system of tactics,
which was used by both the Northern
and Southern armies, and is still em
bodied iv the United States regular
army tactics.
When Virgiuia seceded Gen. Maury
resigned as adjutant general of the
department of New Mexico, and en
tered the Confederate service as colon
el in the Army of Virginia.
His service was chiefly in the west.
In 1803 he was placed in command of
the department of east Tennessee, and
at the close of the war be was at the
head of the department of the Gulf.
Some ten years ago he was offered a
lucrative position at the head of the
Louisiana State Lottery, but though
poor, declined to embark in any such
business.
General Maury was minister to Co
lumbia under President Cleveland, and
was at one time a member of the ex
ecutive committee of the National
Guards' Association. He is survived
by two sons and a daughter. His wife
was Miss Ro3e Mason, of King George
county.
General Maury gave many valuable
contributions to the history of the war
period, and in 1860 organized the South
ern Historical Society, the collection
of which be opened to the Government
Record Office, securing in return free
access to the department by ex-Con
federates. Afterward he engaged in
literary pursuits, being the author of a
school history of Virginia and other
works.

MOODY AND INGERSOLL.
Rev. J. B. Wilson Contrasts The Evange
list and The Agnostic.
Rev. J. 15. Wilson, pistor of the first
United Presbyterian church, Biddle
s f reet and Madison avenue, preached
before a large congregation upon the
life and work of Evangelist D. L.
Moody. He said in part:
"D. L. Moody's character and great
ness were things he never needed to
defend. He preached and lived the
Gospel. God defended him. The same
grace that made him treat kept him
humble. Such men as Moody are the
products of Christianity, and of it
alone. Infidelity could not produce
such a man. He wa9 what he was
through the grac*of God through faith
in Christ.
During the present year two great
standard-bearers have fallen. One
was the destroyer of faith and hope,
the other their defender; then it was
Robert Ingersoll, now D. L. Moody.
The one died supporting the banner of
agnosticism, and the world lamented,
but its lament was for a wasted life.
The other, after a life spent in uphold
ing the banner of the cross, has also
died.
Died, did I say? >"o, no, not dead,
for, as he said about two months ago
in Philadelphia. "Some evening yon
will read in the papers that D. L.
Moody is dead. Do not believe the re
port, for I shall not be dead. This old
clay tabernacle shall be laid aside, but
D. L. Moody shall still be alive, in the
full enjoyment, of a life that hell can
not extinguish or eternity exhaust.
Both were men of genius. Moody
dedicated his; Ingersoll wasted his<
one life was an addition, the other a
subtraction. Both standard-bearers
have fallen. The standards remain.
Beneath which will you take your
stand ? Beside whom do you want to
enlist ? With which one do you wish
to stand on the coming judgment day?
What do you want to make your life
—a benediction o? a malediction, a
blessing or a curse, which ?"—Balti

Not the Same Genesis.
A well known divinity professor, a
grave and learned man, had five daugh
ters, whom his students irreverently
named "Genesis," "Exodus," "Num
bers," "Leviticus'' and "Deuterono
my."
Beginning his lecture oue day, the
professor said, "Gentlemen, I wish to
speak to you about the age of Gene
sis."
Roars of laughter came from the
students.
"Genesis is not so old as you sup
pose," continued the professor.
More roars—so long continued, in
deed, that the worthy man had time
to think before he made the next re
mark. He said timidly—and he man
aged to hit the mark this time:
"I may not be thinking of the same
Genesis as you are!"
