PfupKmiwwfjff'Jip tt T e ,-j. jj i-v - t9 V CARMACK'S 1 ELOQUENT SPEECH. Scathing Arraignment of Foraker-Sharp Twists at the President, Washington, D. C, January 10. Tho oiTaccmonb o Thoodoro Roosovolt as tho most powerful individual factor in tho Repub lican party and its' capture and control by tho trusts tind financial intorests of the country wa8 pre dicted thin afternoon by Senator Garmaok, of Tennessee, during a speech on tho Brownvlllo affair. Solely becauso tho peoplo were standing by him tho President thus far had succeeded in putting tho Republican loadors to rout Senator Carinack said, bub ho was bound to bo overwhelmed eventually by the combined influences of cor porate wealth, whose representa tives in the Senate hnd seized up on the dismissal of a negro bat talion as a means of brenking down his power. "It is not tho most honorable uct of his Adminis tration that the President has aroused so deudly an antagonism in his own party," said tho Senator. "He might have continued to trample upon tho law until the end of time and multiplied his in fidelities to the constitution in definitely, but if ho had notothor wiso offended no voice would ever have been lifted on the Repub lican side to protest against the outrage on the nero troops. "But the 1'residont has mado tho mistake, of the compelling his purcy to violate all traditions, to break with its old-time friends tho allies of a hundred battles. Ho has forced the great corpora tions of the country to recognize that there is such a thing as law in the government of this country. Helpless under the compelling forces of public opinion that is ar rayed behind him, his party leaders have yeilded reluctantly, but bide their time for un opportunity to strike back. It is but the begin ning of a strike to break the power of the leaders of the Republican party who have ever arrayed it on the side of the enemies of the people. It is an effort to put the party back into its old position to renew its old alliances' to make peace with its old friends and re new its covenants with tho plunder ers and oppressors of tho Ameri can peoplo. And it will succeed. The resources of the gentleman in the White House cannot stay tho inevitable hour. He has attempt ed the impossible task of recreat ing the Republican party. You may unspot the leopard and you may whitewash the Ethiopian, but you cannot make a lamb of one of or a Caucasian of the other. "There i" a force as compelling and persistent as the law of gravi tation that will draw the Repub lican party baok to the position from which by main strength and awkwardness the President has lifted it up, The Ropubliaan party has never felt comfortable in the strange company it hus been compelled to keep, lb has tried to appear at eaeo in tho stolen garb of Democrnoy and to com fort itself with the provorb that every truo man's apparel fits your thiof, but it has never boon ablo to conceal its yearning for tho suit of stripes it hus worn so long and will oh fited it so boooiningly and so well. Tho Republican party in a little while Avill look baok to its brief masquerade as a friend of the people as a hideous dream, The issue has been forced, Presi dent Roosovolt must fight tho course and 1 say to Senators on the other side, 'You must take y, tic alterative; you must either renominate Theodore Roosovolt, or you must give us buck ourplut form," "It Is a divine law thut tho Bins shall be'visited upon the children, but I question its applicability in this oaBe, I question the right of the Senator from Ohio to pro nounoe judgments. Ho may be j he God Almighty of the Ropub Mean party of Ohio, but he does not yet sustain that relation to tho universe, My associations with the Ohio Senator have been ex ceodingly pleasant, I havo always found htm fair and courteous in dobate, My porsotial ItttorcOurBo With him has shown him to bo con genial, gonorotis and obliging, "I can romombor with what frank energy ho UBed to w'ayo tho bloody shirt tho shirt stained bloodred by the orlmBon ctlrronts of his own rhetoric, I can re mombor when ho used to go raging over tho land a btfuroated, peri patetic bob-tailed volcano in per petual eruption bolohing forth firo nnd smoko and molten lava in agonized and tumultuos volleys. I can remember when tho Senator used to bespatter tho South with tho gull of his bitterness until I sometimes thought ho wished nil tho white peoplo of tho South had. a single head that he might sovor It with a blow. But I will not do tho Senator tho gross injustice of judging him by tho words of his own mouth. When asked by friends in tho South if ho ronlly is fierce as he sometimes sooms, I toll thorn no, that his forocity is purely oratorical. "I think it profer to say that any reporb that Senators may havo heard that the President personal ly solicited iny support in this matter) that he urged mo to for give and forgot certain energetic personal remnrks and begged mo to stand between him and those twin enemies of his Administration tho Senators from South Carolina and Ohio, is a gross exaggeration. I wili nob say that it is an infa mous falsehood, because such lan guage belongs to tho vocabulary of Presidential controversy rather than that of senatorial debate. "Nor is it truo, as Senators may have heard, thab I havo been moved to undertake the President's defense because of my infatuated devotion to tho mun. I have a great admiration for that strong, brave, large-minded gentleman, the Secretary of War. Any mis representation of the President is more temperate and subdued. In tho language of Hamlot, 'It waits upon tho judgement.' Seriously, I suppose there is no Senator, al ways with tho exception of myi friend from Soubh Carolina Mr. Tillman, who is less likoly than mysolf to be suspected of excessivo partiality for our present Chief Executive. Tho President onco said that he would sea a certain member of the Tennessee delega tion in hades before he would do anything for him a remark en tirely gratuitous in view of the fact that the person supposed to havo been referred to had never asked a favor at his hands, but, with supremo indifference to his good opinion, had criticised him when he was wrong and with like indifference to his good opinion oan support him when he is right. "I care so little for tho hnsty ebullitions of that remarkable man that I can see what, he himself could never see in any man who expressed an opinion contrary to his own I can see tho good as well as the bad in, his public con duct, and judge both without pas sion or prejudice. "In this case it seems to me that he has acted with remarkable freedom from impulso, with un usually cureful deliberation and with anxious effort to do nothing moro nor less than complete justice to all concerned. Indoed, I am haunted by tho suspicion that tho President was tho moro careful to ascertain the facts and to keep within the limits of tho law be cause tho offenders wero colored than ho would havo been if they wero white. "So far as tho negro raco 1b conoernod tho only ohargo thut can be justly mado agulnst tho President is that ho has loyod the nogro nob wisoly but too well. There is somothingpathotio in tho President's plumtive recital of all thab ho has done and attempted for the nogro rnoe. Yet there is no man in this upuntry to-day, nob oven tho ffonator from South Caro lina, who is so universally and so bitterly huted by the negroes as tho man who abolished the Indiana postolllce and dined with Booker Washington. All that he hus done for tho negro, all ovidonco of friendship he has shown in the past, has utterly been forgotten, simply because he has not shown that symputhy with the criminal negro which pervades tho negro population of this country from one end of it to the other," "If tho Senator from Ohio could oonviottho President of tho ohargo he has charged against him, that of intljotlng harsh and brutal y-fefosi&todi& punishment without any authority of law, ho will havo plncod tho Prealdont on un eminonco of in famy from which no man can tako him down." "WheroVor tho Chief Executive does an not that is within tho soopo of his exclusive power ho is necessarily tho solo and exclusive judgo of tho facts on which his act is basod, Novortlioloss, for its own purposes and with a viow to possible future legislation, tho Senato lino a right to inquire into the facts of tho oaso. Whatever might bo our opinion of thoso facts they could not affect tho legality of tho President's action." "It may bo a sonnd maxim in criminal jurisprudence that it is bettor that ninotynino guilty men should escapo than tho ono inno cent man should bo hanged, but it is nob bruo that it is bettor that ninety-nine murderers Bhull wear the uniform of the United States and carry its guns to slaughter peaceful citizens that ono innocent soldlor shall bo discharged. "Such a mamim would destroy tho discipline of an army." "If thoro is anything that ap poarB plainly to my mind from thut speech it is thut these soldiers ought to ha7o boon discharged from tho army u long time ago, and that tho President deserves criticism, not for doing it now.but for having delayed it so long."

In England this was tho legal status of u married woman, generally speaking, up to January 1, 18811. Otlr American states wore quicker to recognize the In justice of tho common law, and in tho caso of nearly every one of them, stnttites, sweeping In char acter, have been passed from time to timo modifying tho common law prohibition, so that at tho present time In some of our states a mar ried woman can make contracts as freely as if Hhe wore single ; hi others sho can make contracts within cortam limitations. As a married woman's contract right are determined by the law of tho place where the contract is made, and as thore arc as many "places" or jurisdictions as there are states and territories in tho Union, each with statutes peculiar to itself, it will bo impossible in a short article to give an adequate viow of the contraot rights of married womon in the United Statos. It may be of interest and profit for us to briolly outline the contract status of married women in tho several states, as follows: Alabama : Full legal capacity to contract in writing as if she wero single; she cannot convey or mortgage her lands or any inter est therein without tho assent and concurrence of the husband; can carry on business alone as a trader and is liable for the debts of the business; cannot become surety for her husband. Arizona: May convey her sep erato estate as a single woman; may become a trader and be liable for debts of the business. Arkansas: Not liable for debts contracted by her unless the con tract was made with special refer ence to her separate estate; may carry on business and be liable for its debts; must schedule her pro perty or the burden of proof is on her in a contest with her hus band's creditors. California: May engage in business for herself provided she obtains from the Superior Court a permit; may convey her property without tho consent of her hus band; is liable on her contracts. Colorado: May engage in busi ness in her own name nnd be liable for its debts; may buy, sell, and convoy personal and real property the same as if single; has every contract right thut her husband has. Connecticut: Women married since April 20, 1877, control their own property, convey it, make contracts, sue and be sued as if unmarried; women' married prior to that date are of a very different legal status and cannot make con tracts except under certain condi tions; but tho husband and wife murried prior to that date may, by contract in writing with each other, como under the operation of tho law of 1877. Delawuro: May carry on busi ness and be liable for its debts; mny make ull kinds of contracts necessary to bo made with respect to her own property as if she wero single. Distriot of Columbia: May carry on business und bo liable for its debts; may not become surety or sign accomodation paper; may oouvoy her real or personal pro perty; muy mako contracts in mat tors having relation to her sopa rnto estate, Florida: May carry on busi ness alono If permission be ob tained from tho Oirouit Court; may bind her own estate by con tract as if sho woro single, Georgia : May carry on busi ness ulono and bo liable for its dobts; cannot bind horself by con tract or suretyship; may make contracts with reference to hor separate estato. Idaho; May carry on business in her own namo and bo liable for its dobtaj ull property ucquirodby her after nmrrluge, excepting by gift, bequest, devise, or descent, she holds in common with her hus band? wife must record inventory of separate property!

Secretary Taft announces that he is willing to be the republican standard bearer in 1908, but that he is not seeking the nomination. He goes a step farther and de clares that he does not expect to be the republican candidate, and gives his reason. His doubt as to the advisability of his own nomi nation seems to rest upon the be lief that the objections to his availability do not lessen with the continued discharge of his official duties. This announcement com ing at this time and just after the inauguration of the Foraker boom suggests that he regards tho dis charge of the nogro troops as an obstucle in the way of his nomina tion, und he is right in so regard ing it. Whilo upon the facts stated the action of the president was justifiable from a moral stand point whatever may be the legal aspect of the case Secrotary Taft's position in the matter has made him unpopular with the colored voters, and they havo to bo reckoned with in u republican convention. Senator Forukor was quick to attack tho administration, and through tho administration Secrotary Taft, on this point, and it is likely that tho colored vote will bo solidly arrayed against Secretary Taft. If, however, the secrotary can so arrange it aB to muko the vote it tie in the senate and compel the vice president to take a stand upon the question, ho may have a companion in his folly, for if tho vice president votes to sustain tho president, he will also alienate the colored vote, and if ho votes against tho president, ho will alienate the Roosevelt men. Thoro is no doubt that Mr. Fair banks is also willing to bo the re publican candidate, and thoro is also no doubt that ho will avoid taking sides in this controversy If he possibly oan, Successful Unheardofs No Blow of Trumpets. Thore aro successful men whoso names never appear in tho pupers whose success is not generally known beyond the small limits of their little town: in faot, tho suc cessful unhoarofs are a great host. On the other hand, there are men who ''play to tho galleries, " who aro never bo jubilant as when bask ing in the limelight, who will sacrifice almost anything to get into the centre of the stage, Hut it is not eufllolent proof that one's life is a failure because ho Is never beard of, nor that the other has won out or Is eyon winning out b& -.ai VT ALL CURABLE CASES bauso his nnme has ufaniiliar look to the readers of the papers. "Do you think," said a young woman, 'that my futher is it nobody be cause the people in your big city have never heatd of him? You would change your opinion if you could live in our town long enough to take a correct measure of his influence thore." There must bo generals and captains in an army to organize for effective fighting, but the old argument of the strength of a chain depending on its weakest link holds good hero, where every man must do his part ; and whatever others think, no suc cessful commander ever thinks of the men who fight under him as nobodies because their names do not appoar in the official reports of the battles fought and of the victories won. Tho soldier who fight for pay alone does not rank with the pa triots of Lexington and Concord, and it is patriots who stand as"a wall of firo" about our land in times of danger from foreign foes. And tho rain who strives for gam "to have and hold" it for selfish and vulgar uses has nothing in common with the host of success ful unhoarofs whose devotion to tho private vircues and the public good muko possible the commer cial victories that hold our country in the forefront of the nations of the world.
