"Mr Chairman, I am determined that

J,... . ,k 'h, responsibility for the gross

Ippst i at th, whole poUcy is not simply
Br , error, hut that it is a crime, and that
in, chief executive of this nation is the
oiie who has precipitated sipon us the em
barrassments and the difficulties by which
arc now confronted. I insist that he
#1 no: simply hold the Philippines as
cpmmarider-in-ehief, leaving the question
of the disposition and control of them to
Congress, but that he formulated and put
Into execution an affirmative and aggres
sive policy, that of the permanent annex
ation to this country of the Philippines
and forced it through the Senate with all
t: powi r and influence which his high
office enabled him to employ.
'The President's first impression was to
demand of the Filipinos simply a coaling
senior,, i measure amply sufficient for all
o’ our legiornate purposes, and the evacu
ation of the islands by Spain without com
pensation by the taxpayers of the United
Suues Had he adhered to this, however,
at, wo :!d have been well.
Committed a Fatal Error,
"But the President committed a fatal
error. He wrote in that treaty the abso
lute transfer of Spanish sovereignty over
the Philippines to ourselves, and the pay
ment of $20,000,000 as a eonsideration for
the cession. Then he issued to the Phil
ippines that proclamation in which he in
formed them that the United States had
succeed'd to the title of Spain, declared
ttißt the government and control of their
territory belonged to us, ordered them to
pay their taxes to the military govern
ment which he established over them, and
blandly made known to them that our mis
sion in their midst was one of benevolent
assimilation
"The President drove the treaty through
the Senate by the unlimited exercise of all
these powers and influences which the
great office he holds makes possible.
“What, then, did the chief executive
mean hy telling those who gathered
around the banquet board at Boston that
up to the ratification of the treaty he had
simply held the Philippines as comman
der-in-chief without any policy of his own,
leaving the whole matter to be determin
ed afterward by Congress? Was he fool
ish enough to believe, that his mere state
ment would be allowed to pass unchal
lenged? Was he vain enough to suppose
that his ipse dixit would conclude the mat
ter, wilh tlte damning proof of its falsity
so near at hand?
Was It the Public Mind?
Mr. Chairman, why did the President
change his original intention as to the
t- rnris to be incorporated Into the treaty?
" hat is the influence that brought the
' nge about? I have heard it stated that
' ■ applause of the people who greeted
tun just about this Juncture of public af

the condition of public sentiment rather

will hear the steady (read, not of the 100-
000 men whom he demands for a crusade
against hb*ty, but of a mighty army of
free people, who are beginning to move in
defense of their cherished traditions and
their viblaled honor.
"We have been told, further, that the
President yielded up his first blush im
pressions at the importunity of Admiral
Dewey, who urged that the Philippines
should b/ retained. Mr. Chairman, the
chief executive cannot screen himself be
hind the gold lace of the hero of Manila,
No one can honor more profoundly than I
do the officers of opr regular army and
navy, hut their predelictions are natural
ly for arms.
Power Was W itli President.
“Again we have been assured thal the
demand of our peace commissioners at
Paris 1o hold the Philippines is what induc
ed the President to yield. So far as one of
the commissioners is concerned we know
that this is false. But even if this state
ment were true, the constitutional power
to negotiate a treaty was his. not (Viat of
the commissioners. They were simply his
instruments appointed to carry out his
wili. No. Mr. Chairman, this p!ea l*ke all
others will not avail. The truth is that
these commissioners got their inspiration
and their instructions from the White
House. These instructions once changed,
the action of the commissioners would
have been dim-rent. The wrong was with
the chief executive. He and he alone, is
responsible.
Concession to Capita lists.
"Mr. Chairman, in my humble opinion the
reason for the change in the presidential
policy was his concession to the selfish* cap
italists of the country, his surrender to
their demands. These are the gentlemen
who furnished the money for his nomina
tion and election, and who, I doubt not,
have pledged him a renomination and a
re-election. These are the gentlemen who
are already sizing upon valuable fran
chises in China, in connection with the
English syndicate, with a member of Par
liament from Wales at its head. These are
the gentlemen whom Lord Beresford has in
mind in his cordial, but not wholly disin
terested invitation to an alliance in China
with Great Britain. Germany and Japan,
against Russia and France, the old-time
enemies of his country and the old time
friends of ours.
"These are the gentlemen who are al
ready grasping after special privileges in
the Philippines, in Cuba and in Porto
Rico. It was. r Imagine, for their especial
benefit that the President created his ad
visory board at the war department, com
posed of three American citizens, their
object being to farm out valuable privil
eges and immunities which should belong
to the people of those island themselves
and in whose disposition they should have
a voice, if their government is to be free
and their rights maintained.
Johnson's .Contention,
, "I have no fault to find with the spirit
of legitimate American commerce. My con
tention is against the spirit of American
greed which cares nothing for the spirit
of American liberty.
"And what do these gentlemen propose?
To amass colossal fortunes in the isl
ands by virtue of their franchises and up
on the cheap labor of the native popu
lation, not one dollar of which will ever
find a lodging place in the pockets of,the
American people. To enable them to do
so. our whole |x>pulation is to purchase
their field of operations for them in tire
Philippines for the round sum of $20,000.-
000, and is to be taxed inteminably and
excessively in the creation and mainten
ance of a great army and navy which is
to conquer and hold the Filipinos in sub
jection and defend the islands after they
have been expensively fortified against the
assaults of great European nations with
which our new foreign policy will be cer
tain to bring us iutd frequent contention.
Rest of tlie Programme.
"What else is upon the programme of
these gentlemfcn?) The open door in the
Philippines, mak|ng it totally impossible
forever to discriminate in tariff duties
there in favor of the products of the
American farm and the American shop.
“What is the other sacrifice that is re
quired? That the annexation of Cuba, Por
to Rico and the Philippines, absolutely sure
to come at an early day, for they have reg
istered it in their vows, shall precipitate
the sugar, tobacco, hemp and other cheap
products of these islands and Hawaii upon
the American market in tree and unres
trained competition with the agricultural
and laboring elements of our own country.
"This policy, sir, would have been free
trade in William Jennings Bryan. What is
it in William McKinley?”
Hamilton Wanted It Rend,
As Mr. Johnson took his seat, Mr. Ham
ilton, Republican, of Michigan, arose and
excitedly asked for the reading of the
President's Boston speech.
"I am perfectly willing,” said Mr. John
son. “I want it read and printed in the
Record.”
"The people -have already read his
speech." shouted Mr. Hamilton.
"Yes, -and they will damn him for-it,”
retorted Mr. Johnson.
Mr. Rhea, Democrat, of Kentucky, said
he was tired of tlie vacillating policy of
the President. Whenever the opposition
nssumed the temerity to inquire into the
purpose of the President they were waved
back with the question: "Do you not have
confidence in the President?”
"1 frankly confess that I have not,” said
Mr. Rhea. "He represents nothing I stand
for; nothing that entitles me to a seat up
on this floor."
Alger Once Resigned.
In the course of his arraignment of the
President. Mr. Rhea.spoke of Secretary
\lger as a man who "if public history be
true had been cashiered from the army for
cowardice on the eve of battle. "That is
not true," interposed Mr. S|>aulding,Repub
lican of Michigan.
"Oh. I do not mean cashiered in the lit
eral sense: 1 mean tha # he left his com
mand without orders and against orders
and came here where he was courlmar
tialcd.” ,
"He was never courtmartiflied.’
"Then lie resigned.”
"That's dffi'tient,” replied Mr. Spaulding
amid great Democratic laughter and ap
plause.
At 6:32 o'clock p. m., the House recessed
until 8 p. m., the evening session being de
voted to private pension legislation.

A Few of tlie Curious Culan Cus
toms.
Camp Veda do, Cuba. Feb. 18—The habits
of the people here are very interesting. A
few of them that I have noticed are as fol
lows: my way to Havana, tlie
other day. 1 **aw three persons gel in th*
car with money sticking in their ear. My
curiosity was at once aroused to know
the meaning of this. Soon I found that
tne money was their car fare, and that
was where they carried it when they had
no pocket. I saw the same practice sev*
eral lime afterward. While passing a Cu
ban church one day this week, I noticed
a coach in front of the building, with a
boy about 12 years of age standing in
front of the horse, having a be.l in his
hand. Soon 4he priest came out of the
church, accompanied by a few guards,
each one with a large lighted lantern. The
priesi got in the wagon and ai once left
the church with two guards on side
of the coach, while the boy walked ahead
of the horse ringing the bell ail the
while. Upon inquiry, i found that the
priest was going to perform a marriage
ceremony and this was the procession front
the church to the house. It is now get
ting to be a common thing to see four
men. and sometimes boys, passing by our
camp on their way to the graveyard with
a small coffin swinging between them, at
tached 10 a cord corner, the cof
fin containing the body of a child. There
is not a day passes but you can see three
or four, and sometimes even more, such
funerals. The coffins contain ng the bod.es
of grown peqjne are carried on the shoul
ders of men. There are generally eight
men to each coffin, four will Icarry it
awhile and then the other four will take it.
not a single friend or mourner is wiin
them. Sometimes they carry the
bodies all the way from thv?
heart of the city 10 the graveyard, some
two and a nod' miles away. I saw on one
afternoon, in an hour’s time, six funerals
on their way to the burying ground. The
guards who guard the gates told me that
one day there were fourteen funerals pass
ed in the gate.
A man here thinks it is an insult to lie
asked to give up his seat In a street car
to a lady. One day last week I saw one
of our sergeants ask a Cuban man to gut
up and give his scat to an old lady who
was standing just in front of him. At first
the man hesitated, but after being strong
ly urged by the sergeant he slowly arose
and gave up his seat, but the flashes of
fire from his eyes as he eyed the sergeant,
with a snarl on his lips, the remainder of
the journey told as plain as words could
tell that there was no love in his heart for
the American.
You very seldom see the women going
in the city with hats on their heads. They
are, as a rule, bare headed. There would
be tittle show here for one dealing in ladies
head-wear.
The men of the Batteries D. C, M. G. and
I, were paid off this week, and there were
some happy men among them, but here, as
well as in the states, pay-day is a curse
to many of them. One of ihe men in Bat
tery I, while under the influence of drink,
attempted to fifli his place in dress parade
Tuesday night, and was placed under ar
rest and put In the guard house, after a
desperate fight with the guards. Five min
utes afterwards he broke the doors and at
tempted to make his escape down the hill,
hack of the camp, but had not gone more
than one hundred yards, when he fell and
broke his left arm in two places. Only
about ten days ago two of the men in that
battery got in a quarrel, and one killed the
other by breaking his neck over the end
of a bench.- Aside from these occurrences
the men are getting along very nicely
round about here. H. A. Howell.
CITY BREVITIES.
A soldier, who gave his name as A. E.
Anderson, was arrested last night hy Po
liceman J. A. Woods for firing his pistol
in Collinsville.
The northern section of the fire depart
ment was called out at 9 o’clock .yester
day hy an incipient blaze in the cupola
of Rourke & Son’s iron foundry. It was
supposed to have started from sparks. It
was extinguished before much damage
was done.
The pleasant weather is developing a
penchant for outings along the salts anrf
every day' parties can be seen going out
on the cars and in wagons to spend a day'
along the banks of the rivers. One day
this week there w'ere four parties of young
people at Isle of Hope.
Mayor Myers was presented a gavel yes
terday from a log from the Spanish block
house at Guantanamo bay, where the first
fighting between the Spanish and Ameri
can forces in Santiago took place. The
gavel was sent to Mayor Myers through
Alderman John Schwarz, by Lieut. W. C.
White. It will be used by the Mayor in
Council meetings.
The shad season is well open to Judge
from the fish being brought to the city.
Six wagon loads came In from Montgome

2,000 fiwh, and about the same num

and vicinity. The greater portion of the
fish was shipped North. The fish are
caught in seines on the Great Ogeechee
river.
THE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS

press upon all the importance of pur
chasing’ the true and original reme

millions of families, makes the name
of the Company a guaranty of the ex

There has been a good deal of criticism
in time past of the extortionate charge*
of the Installment furniture dealers. While
much of this criticism was doubtless justi
fied it has not been altogether easy sail
ing with the installment dealers. The col
„ored brother has tricks of his own and
one of these.has been to buy furniture on
the installment plan and then dispose of
it by giving a bid of sale on the property
some one else. This practice has
given the furniture dealers considerable
trouble, and they are resorting $o criminal
prosecution In order to check this prac
tice.
Pld Collins,' alias Willie Simmons, was
convicted In the City Court yesterday of
"encumbering personal property,” this be

referred to. Col.ins was sentenced to pay
a fine of $25 or spend six months on the
gang. He was charged with purchasing
a washstalid frbm Rhodes & Walker on
the installment plan and afterward giving
a bill of sale for the same.
