Show DAILY 4 OGDEN, UTAH. J. CANNON. EDITOR. THE WAY A ROOSEVELT REPUBLIC IS MADE, The New York World has ferreted out what It calls the inside facts of the Panama revolution; and it reveals the truth to the public with no apologies to the administration. As soon as the opposition to the canal treaty was made manifest in Colombia, parties interested in the stock speculation connected with the canal engaged with influential citizens of Colombia, residing in Panama, to take advantage of the then assured situation. It was known that the defeat of the treaty by the Colombian senate would anger the Washington administration; and that if the isthmians in Panama would raise an insurrection they might be assured of the moral support of President Roosevelt. A meeting of the conspirators took place in New York and there the arrangemeut was made for a revolt to take place on the day that the Colombian congress adjourned. It was intended that Panama and Colon should be seized simultaneously, and the new republic be proclaimed throughout the isthmus. These conspirators had received reports that the United States would view the revolt with favor, and would aid the insurrectionaries by landing marines to keep the isthmus open for traffic, and would permit no fighting along the railway or at either end of it. And inasmuch as these were the only points in danger of Colombian assault, the guarantee amounted practically to a general defense of the entire isthmus of Panama. J. Gabriel Duque went to Washington to acquaint the administration confidentially with the plans of the revolutionists. On September 3d he had a long talk with Secretary Hay, in which he unfolded all the plans of the conspirators. Mr. Hay professed to refuse official countenance of the movement; but when he was informed of the day set for the uprising he said You are much too hasty. Colombia should be given a chance to repent. If she should show no sign of repentance within a , reasonable time you would, of course, be free to take any action you saw fit as you are now but it seems to me it would look much better to wait six weeks or so. Of course you understand that if there is a revolution the United States will keep the isthmus open and allow no fighting near the railway. If there is to be any fighting it will have to be done before our marines get there, for we will Allow no bloodshed anywhere on the isthmus after we get there. You understand, don't you? We will prevent traffic across the isthmus from being interfered with, and we will also prevent bloodshed anywhere on the isthmus. Mr. Duque is a clever diplomat and he replied that he understood perfectly. He rushed back to New York and informed his fellow conspiraters that this country would afford a greater support than had been expected, as no bloodshed was to be permitted by our government; and it was only necessary for the rebels to make arrangements for an American battleship to be within easy reach when the revolt should take place. Accordingly the date of the rebellion was postponed; and in a roundabout way it was later learned by the plotters that the president himself would like to have their action delayed until after the November elections in this country, but no longer. The conspirators acquiesced in this wish and made their arrangements that the new government should be proclaimed in Panama immediately after the close of the polls in this country on November 3d, Our cruiser Nashville was sent to Colon in time to prevent bloodshed and thus the infamous conspiracy and the bloodless revolution were made successful. It was all a selfish scheme of plunder. It was in the interest of the stock jobbers in the Panama canal speculation, of whom many are American citizens. As it stands today, the STATE JOURNAL, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 1903. TURN THE RASCALS OUT. UTAH STATE JOURNAL FRANK UTAH FOUND DEAD IN CAR If any doubt existed in the public mind as to the necessity of turning the rascals out the report of Assistant Postmaster General Bristow would remove that doubt. With the accuracy of a bookeeper, w'ith as little passion as an iceberg and with the resistless force of a glacier, Mr. Bristow arrays his facts, and arraigns the rascals. No w'onder Postmaster General Payne sought to discount the charges which were made against his department; no wonder he said it was merely something to laugh at; no wonder he used all the pow'er of the administration and all the influence of the suborned press, to mislead the public mind from a judicial consideration of the charges made. This report of General Bristow' demonstrates the statement, made in these columns, that at least this one department of the government was permeated with rottenness from top to bottom. Moreever it shows that the whole administration is chargeable either with participation in fraud long continued, or with criminal recklessness and neglect in the public service. In either case the vengeance of the people is deserved. More closely than anything else the voters of the United States should w'atch the servants who are selected to administer our governmental affairs. Men entering upon the exalted duty of public office should recognize the sanctity of the trust reposed in them and should perform their services W'ith holy zeal . and unassailable integrity. Anything less than this wrould eventuate in the undoing of the government itself, for if rascally betrayers of their oath taken may be maintained in office and their villainies glossed over, it will only be a question of brief time until the whole country will be in the grasp of a corrupt rule of bureaucracy, misappropriating the public funds in order to perpetuate their dishonest and dangerous control of public affairs. The explicit denial by Hon. Perry S. Heath of the accuracy of Mr. Bristows report will scarcely detract from the public acceptance of that report. Mr. Heath is undoubtedly correct in his intimation that he cannot be accused personally of having received any reward either in cash or presents or in any other form while in the department or since he left it, for acts performed while in the government employ. But his ' successful vindication of himself does not alter the significance and conclusiveness of the terrific arraignment of the entire department as it must be deduced from the report of General , GRAND Murdorod Man Diacovorod Body of in a Freight Car at Groan Rivar, A Tuesday, December ipecial to the 8alt Lake Tribune sss JOE Another mysterious murder has been committed, the purpose evidently bemedium ing robbery. A slaed man about 24 years old was discovered in an eastbound empty box car at Green River this morning with a deep gash In the forehead, caused by a blow from a piece of scantling, and there were marks indicating that a struggle took place in the car, but the man must have been thrown in after being murdered. He was in his stocking feet, his shoes having been carried away, and there were bloody finger-maron his shirt and inside his vest lining, indicating that his inner vest pocket was rifled. Two letters were found addressed to W. J. Reddick, Mount Bullion, CaL, one 27th, Garfield, postmarked October Benton county. Ark., and the other October 28th, Mount Pleasant, Or. At the coroner's Inquest the supposition was that the man had not been dead more than twenty-fohours,, as the body was only sllghUy frozen and the weather last night was below zero. It will be remembered a few weeks ago that a man was found murdered in an empty car at Spring valley, near Evanston. He was supposed to have been thrown in the car at Ogden, Utah. Bristow'. It is time to turn the rascals out. They have infested not only the postoffice' department but other branches of the government and the people must not rest until, they are driven from public life. President Roosevelt says that the vestigation made by General Bristow in the postoffice department discloses a condition of gross corruption in the office of the first assistant postmaster general and in that of the assistant attorney general of the postoffice department. Hon. Perry S. Heath says that he is willing to trust the public to draw its own conclusions. And acting on this permission, they are drawing . WE BEAT THE WORLD ON TEN DOLLAR 0VERC0AT8.
