VI CHARLOTTE CORDAY.
(176S-1793.))
BY CHARLOTTE BREWSTER JORDAN.
Marie Anne Charlotte Corday D'Armans,
known to history as Charlotte Corday,
was born at Orne. 17G8. Her life was devoid
of incident; her history lay In the events
leading up to her self-chosen death. An
example of one of the many abnormal ac
cidents of the unnatural conditions engen
dered by the French Revolution, she
would probably long since have been con
Blgned to oblivion were It not for the ro
mantic Interest aroused by the appealing
portrait painted a few hours before her
execution." The artist, Hauer. privileged to
paint this portrait upon which the later
Idealized pictures have been founded,
bears willing testimony to the dignified
simplicity of character and sweetness of
soul which irradiated a countenance nat
urally beautiful. There is no doubt that
hers was an unusually lovely type of
beauty, quite different from that invariably
ascribed to all &ensat!onal heroines who
pay the death penalty. It Is probable that
her most popular portrait, painted by C.
L. Muller. representing her in the white
mob cap made especially for her execu
tlon, with quill In hand, looking out ear
nestly from behind her prison bars, has
"done much to hold popular Judgment in
equilibrium. Was this sad-eyed, pure
faced young girl who deliberately took
the life of Marat a murderer or a hero
ine? She would undoubtedly have figured
as a classic, a feminine Brutus In
lh glory that was Greece,
The grandeur that was Rome."
But in this unimpeszioned 20th century,
looking coldly back upon the fever heat
which burned Itself out In France 100
years ago, who Fhall say whether Char
lotte Corday was sent by God to avengo
her country'' In other words, should the
heroes of history be judged by the stand
ards of the day in which they lived or
gauged by modern criteria?
The youth of Charlotte Corday, like that
of Joan of Arc, was of the kind that f ostera
introspection, feeds imagination and pro
longs childhood Indefinitely. It was not
mid her flocks on the hillsides, but in the
cloistered seclusion of the abbaye Aux
Dames founded at Caen for the daughters
of the poor nobility by Matilda, wife of
"William the Conqueror, that Charlotte
Corday's mystic self-communings took on
that personal shape which beckoned her
to her doom. Here she devoured whatever
books came to her hand, absorbing greed
ily whatever savored of patriotism and
equality of rights. While her mind was in
this vortex of ill-chosen reading, news
reached hor of the increasing infamy ol
Marat.
Marat, the head of the Mountain, the
editor of the revolutionary press upon
which so many republican hopes had been
founded, the incarnation of all that was
evil In the French Revolution, had by
means of unparalleled atrocities raised
himself to the highest power in his party.
Danton and Robespierre, the other mem
bers of this terrible triumvirate, were una
ble to satisfy Marat's unquenchable thirst
for blood. Incorruptible in money matters,
he was, nevertheless, one of the vilest of
mankind. No He was too monstrous, no
atrocity too sanguinary to debar his hid
eous progress. His brain was turned by
his Immense power. Even his adherents
abhorred his leprous body and livid leer,
Mnrnt.
refuslng to sit near the blood-crazed de
moniac whom they had raised to power.
He it was who urged the immediate execu
tion of Louis XVI and called upon his con
stituency to kill 200.000 adherents of the
old regime. He even wished to reduce
the convention, the republican organ of
tho Government one-fourth by this same
cruel measure. The Girondists, who had
forced Louis XVI to become a constitu
tional king, had been entirely superseded
by Marat's ultra-Revolutionary party.
known as the Jacobins. And now Marat's
venom was turned against the Girondists,
and he announced in hl; journal that 300.001
of their heads were necessary to consol
idate the liberties of France. Surely, if
It ever were right for men to usurp God's
prerogative of summoning a soul to the
other world, such a scourge upon mankind
as Marat would seem to Justify the deed!
j Upon the suppression of the convents by
the national convention. Charlotte Corday
returned to her home at Caen. Well-read
In ancient history and versed In the more
modern principles of political economy,
she had expected the Girondists to bring
about an Ideal pure republic When Marat
expelled them from the convention, Char
lotte Corday. at the head of the young
girls of the city, went out to meet those
returning to Caen, and presented them
with crowns and flowers. With her father
she attended their indignation meetings,
but was disgusted at their pusillanimity.
Volunteers were called upon the field ot
Caen to lead an insurrectionary movement
nsralnst Marat, but so intimidated were
they by Marat's limitless power for evil
that but 30 responded to the roll of tho
drum. Then Charlotte Corday realized for
the first time the terrorizing power of the
head of the French Government. If he
could make so nerveless these men whom
he had wronged, he must rule by right of
terror alone, and she. Charlotte Corday,
who knew no fear, would rid her country
of this law-murderer, and Justice and
peace would return. It is said that at first
she debated with herself whether France
should be relieved of Marat or of Robes
pierre, but the call of the former for 100.
000 more guillotine victims, combined with
the testimony which the proscribed Giron
dists brought bnck to Normandy, deter
mined her to seek out Marat without de-
She accordingly set forth for Paris, tak
ing no one into her confidence, but de
termined to shoot Marat in the midst of
the Assembly. Finding that she could
not carry out her intention of killing him
before the people, like the classic heroines
lntheplays of her great-great-uncle. Pierre
Corneille. she decided to pUrchaw a. new
weapon with which to dispatch him at his
home, for Marat was too 111 to go any more
to the convention and admitted no visitors.
After buying a sharp knife of a cutler
she persuaded one Duperret, a Girondist,
to -take her to Marat's house, but both
were denied admission. She then wrote
two notes to her victim, declaring with
the abnormal cunning which the most
, simple-minded pcm to develop upon occa
sion that she had Important secrets to
alsclose to him. Returning In the even
ing, she galnted admittance while Marat
was in his bath. Referring to the Giron
dist deputies of her neighborhood, he said
that he would have them arrested and ex
ecuted the same day. whereupon Charlotte
Corday plunged the knife, which she had
concealed In her neckerchief. Into his
heart.
Having: achieved what she conceived to
be a commendable action, she refused all
opportunities of escape and calmly await
ed arrest. She was not only willing but
anxious to sacrifice her life for the good
f her country. She was alarmed, how-

heart at the very first blow, she replied
"Indignation had aroused my heart and

ATED BOARD OF XAVAI OFFICERS
Will Make Trouble for the Secretary
Tariff a Bar to Puerto Rlcaa
Investment.
WASHINGTON, March 21. Too many
boards and commissions spoil govern
mental affairs. Tne tendency has always
been heretofore to give the President of
the United States great power and ex
pect him to exercise It in a wise and ju
dicious manner. Of late we have seen
some of this executive power shifted to
various commissions. The same tendency
has recently been exhibited in tho Navy
Department. Secrtary Long has relieved
himself and his assistant from a great
deal of responsibility by creating a Board
of Naval Officers, of which Admiral Dew
ey Is the head, to take hold of business
which properly belongs In the office of
the Secretary, and which by quick and
decisive action could be accomplished
much more satisfactorily than through
the board. Tho Intention, as stated, is to
rolleve the Secretary of work. The result
will be that the Secretary has piled up
a lot of trouble for himself. There was
never a Board of Naval Officers that could"
get along well together, and this one will
be -unable to do so. There Is now In the
Navy Department a Board of Bureau
Chiefs, and they are constantly bickering
and having troubles which the Secretary
must settle, and he must not only settle,
but he Is compelled to llston to grievances
of each and all members of the Board,
many of which are trivial. It looks as If
the Secretary had acquired trouble In cre
ating the Board. It Is believed that one
reason for his action was the desire to
find some position for Admiral Dewey
which would be in accord with his rank
and position in the country. The Admiral
has been practically unasslgned since his
return to this country, and questions were
asked as to why tho greatest naval hero
of our day was left with, nothing to do
and with very little voice In the affairs
of the Navy. The new position gives him
an opportunity to formulate and recom
mend policies, but whenever these policies
do not accord with the views of other
officers and especially members of the
Board of which he is a member It Is quite
possible that the Secretary will be called
upon to decide between the other officers
and the Admiral. In view of the fact that
they have not always agreed, and that In
some cases they have distinctly disagreed,
the prediction is made that "the Secretary
and the Admiral will have some official
difficulties before the Board has been In
operation many months.
A Bnr to Investment.
Senator Proctor, of Vermont, Is one of
the men that understands the situation In
Cuba thoroughly, because he has been
there. He is. also a believer in free trade
with Puerto Rico, although he might -vote
for the tariff as a party measure. He has
advanced an Idea In favor of free trade
which has not been brought out In any
of tho debates, even by the friends of
free trade. He says that there cannot be
any great rush of capital to the Island
for the purpose of making Improvements,
establishing large plantations, manufac
tories and other enterprises which will
furnish labor to the people and profit to
the investors, until It is definitely settled
that a tariff will not exist between the
United States and tho Islands. His argu
ment upon this Is very plain, saying that
men will hesitate to Invest capital when
It could be taxed out of existence very
easily. Capital will argue that If a 10
or 15 or 23 per cent duty can be levied
by the United States Government, there
is no reason why a 50 per cent or even
a 100 per cent duty cannot be levied, or, as
Senator Perkins has pointed out, 115 per
cent. It Is something of a risk, anyhow,
to engage In any enterprise In Puerto
Rico. There is danger ot cyclones sweep
ing the plantations out of existence, de
stroying the work and profits of several
years, consequently Investments will be
few until it Is definitely settled that the
United States does not Intend to tax its
citizens who may by their enterprise un
dertake to build up this Island which was
acquired from Spain.
Credit for the Gold Standard.
It Is quite probable that the controversy
over the question of who Is entitled- to
credit for the gold-standard legislation
will be as brisk as was the same con
troversy over the responsibility for the
gold-standard plank In the National plat
form of 1S96. A great many people are
giving H. H. Hanna, of Indianapolis, the
credit for this legislation. They say that
his work in organizing many Interests
of the country In favor of legislation and
In pressing the matter before Congress
has resulted finally In carrying out the
pledges of the Republican platform. Be
fore this question is settled It might be
well to Inquire who was responsible for
keeping up the public sentiment In favor
of this legislation, and who It was that
kept before the country through the news
papers tho fact that unless there was
active steps token to keep up the de
mand. Congress would not act. It Is due
to this determination of the gold-standard
press through the country that Congress
should act that finally resulted In making
the Republican majority prepare and pass
tho bill which has finally become a law.
Possibly Mr. Hanna may be responsible
and should have the credit to a certain
extent. It was, however, the vigilance of
the gold-standard press In every part ot
the country, unaided and without sug
gestion, which insisted day after day that
there must be legislation.
A Committee in Cuba.
It has been a long time since Congress
authorized a Congressional "junket," and
it was with some surprise that peopie
learned that the committee on relations
with Cuba, or a subcommittee, was au
thorized by the Senate to v"lslt that island
for the purpose of making an investigation
of the condiuons and to prepare a report
which -will possibly guide future legisla
tion. A great many people may think
that there was no necessity for this Con
gressional visit, and may point out that
the information could have been obtained
through the United States officers and offi
cials In the Island. However this may be,
there la no doubt that men like Platt of
Connecticut, Aldrich of Rhode Island and
Teller of Colorado have the capacity for
finding out conditions and perhaps In see
ing and conversing with the people in
Cuba who arc unrestricted In their conver
sation, and comments, and be able to as
certain some useful facts which will guide
them In preparing future legislation. Of
course. It Is unders.ood perfectly that there
Is no Intention to legislate for Cuba at
present and that not only this session, but
probably the next may pass, leaving
the whole matter in the hands of the
President, under the direction of the Sec
retary of War. Still the Congressional re
port will do something, and the Informa
tion obtained may have some Influence
upon the question of whether Cuba Is to
be finally annexed to the United States.
BevcrldRe, the Youngf Senator.
Senator Beverldge, of Indiana, Is an ex
ample of a man who restrains himself
under great pressure. Senator Beverldge
Is an orator, he Is a young man, and he
has luminous thoughts on subjects and
especially those which are before the Sen
ate at the present time. He Is very anx
ious to talk upon them, but, in view of the
fact that there is a tradition in the Senate
that a new Senator must not talk very
much or very often, he restrains himself,
and to such an extent that it Is rather
remarkable. It Is true that he deUverd
one speech, but that was because he was
especially fitted to do so on account o
his long tour In the Philippines in TCh'ch
he had gathered a great deal cf Informa
tion concerning the lslapds. He was

Mr. Moody Observes.
One of the most observant members of
the House, and one who keeps thoroughly
In touch with what Is going on In that
body Is Representative Moody, of Oregon.
Since the first day of the session he has
been In his seat, and watched with the
most Intense Interest the proceedings, and
listened to the debates on the various
measures that have been up for discus
sion. He has taken particular interest in
the speeches made by the leaders on
both sides, and while he does not always
agree with them, and could not, since
they themselves are often divided, he
gets the best opinions possible on the
various measures. He says that the mem
bers of committees having the Important
bills in charge have had ample oppor
tunity to discuss them before they are
brought to the House, and are better
able to Judge of the merits of such
measures than the average member who
has not the opportunity to make a careful
and thorough examination. In such cases
he says he is willing to be guided by the
better Judgment of the party leaders and
majority members of the committees',
than by the wild clamcrings of an excit
able and dissatisfied minority.

essential element In its commercial pros
perity If It has no public parks conforma
ble to its possibilities, or at least If there
Is no eoneprtof! action atraarent to se-
I cure the indispensable land for park pur
poses.
Further, a public park Is no place for
; any animals, either wild or tame; they
j should be transferred to a zoological gar
den where they belong.
