sisting the president to appoint a
Bmmlttee of Inquiry to investigate
te charges against Colonel Wm. F.
(tevrart. of the coast artillery, now

Iiyner said he took this action be
(ilse he as satisfied there would
no report from the committee on
tlltnry affairs during this session
congress. He spoke sarcastically
t Cclonel Stewart's present posi
on and lonely surroundings and
Id:
j "The president is delighted with
ie situation, therefore the chairman
i the military committee ought to
it satisfied also.' if the president is
tlsiied everybody ought to be sat
afied. Why not? What right has
gjybody ue dissatisfied with any
ilng that satisfies the president?
fla would be guilty of such a tra
inable act?"

him an opportunity to present hi
sue of the case, saying -the pres
ident prefers to try this case without
any witnesses for the defense," and
appealed to the senate to vote on his
rsolntion.
Still referring to the president the
senator said: '
"When he has his victim upon the
heights of Arizona and declines t j re
ceive any communication from him
and positively asserts that there Is
no necessity for examining his wit
nesses or hearing his testimouv. he
is then in a position tu, administer
justice with an absolutely impartial
and unprejudiced mind. A judge
who hears both sides may have his
mind disturbed, but a president who
hears only one side can proceej wnn
accuracy and precision to final judg
ment without the slightest danger of
making any mistake upon the testi
mony he has heard. The constitution
gives even to a criminal the right to
be informed of the nature and caus-
