Ago habia de ofrecer ut;liso6ls
ell discurso p-onunciado reciente.
mente en- Irijoa por el Diputado
autonomista d Cortes D. Rafael
Fernandez de Castro.
Uno de aquel triunvirato repre-
sentative que prometi6 venir 4

tituci6n del autonomismo puerto
rriqueno.
Y que, efectivamente, no vino.
81; algo habia de ofrecer de
utiiizable, y hasta de oportunfsi-
ma aplicaci6n, el discurso aqu6l
que tsnto entusiasm6 al Sr. Ti6
Segarra, quien. por consecuencia
del mismo, hubo de liarse en- des-
comnnat refriega, ayudado por
Ell Pals, con Ell Acicats, period
co autonomista hereje, que Sc
ha propuesto matar q disgustos al
Directorio aut6uomo cubano.
Dijo el Sr. Fernandez de Cas-
tro, en- la parte c6mica de su pc.
roracion, describiendo d determi.
nados seres de esta pobre huma.

"........ Sc les antojan errores
todas las opiniones, malas todas
las doctrinas, iguorsntes todos
los hombres, Deficiencies todos los
principles y todos los procedi-,
mientos, inferiores, en- fin, todas
las cosas. Para ellos nadie sabe
NADIA, nadie sirve para NADIA; 10
dnico bueno que en- Ia creaci6n
existe son sus olimpicas persona
lidades; dnicas verdades las que

man; duico vsler es el que ellos
poseen; y arrobados en- su fatui.
dad excelsa, llegan q Greer since.
ramente-: ONO dice un querido
amigo mio-que hasta el mismo
Dios les consulta las cuestiones re
lativas a Ia providencia del mundo
Y los problemas concernientes d
los destinos de la hnmanidad."
Cuentan Vas cr6nicas que este
pasaje del discurso pronunciado
en- Irijoa por ell Sr. Fernandez de
Castro fue acogido con grandee
risas y apIausos.
Y, sin embargo, no faltaria en-
el concurso audiente alguno 6 al
gunos que muy bien pudieran YER
SO fotograficamente retratados en-
los trazos del Sr. Fernandez de
Castro.
Aqui no faltara tampoco quien
Sc ria estrepitosamente ante lot
mismos. Pero tambien podemoe
suponer que MAJ de uno, y mas
de dos, y mas de tres ciudadanos
pondran cara cefiuda q Ia des'
cripci6n pict6rica del Sr. Fer
nandez de Castro.
Porque Sc veran fe'mente re-
producidos con todas sus fnfulas
Y vanidades, con todas sus pre-
tensiones, que no son mas que
hume, sombra, nada.
Figdrense Wv. con que talante
Sc miraran en- el espejo construi
do por ell Sr. Fernanez de Castro
ciertos sefiores autonomistas que
SO tienen por e' sWn,mwm de todo
por gigantes en- todo, y miran cor
vidrlos de disminucion q sus ad'
versarios, creyendo candidamente
que son $tomos.
De buena gana, como la fea de-
cuento, romperian el espejo que
hoy les pone de manifesto sui
deformidades.
Y, sin embargo, bueno es que
recuerden 10 que djJo el poeta:
"Arrojar Ia cara importa,
que el espeio.... no hay por qu6.'

The Republican Revol.

The votes % the various amendments in
the House recently are of much significance
Cannon's proposition to put sugar on the
free list and pay bounty to the planters
was denounced as treason to the Republican
party.
Kelley believes the tariff is as sacred as
the Ark of the Covenant, and that 1t must
not be touched by sacriligious hands.
Following the strict letter of the platform,
Kelley opposed any suggestion that any part
Of the system should be surrendered. He
evidently believes that no chain is stronger
than the weakest link.
Cannon insisted that the sugar tax was a
revenue tax; that the proportions were
somewhat as one OF protection and ten rev.
enue, and in order to save other vested
rights he wanted to sacrifice sugar.
As protective tax, the sugar duty is in
defensible. 1t yields revenue exceeding
$5O,OOO,0O0, and if it is repealed it puts a
stop at once to all propositions to reduce the
iniquitous war tariff.
Democrats vote to retain the tax on sugar,
just as they vote to retain the tax on whisky,
because each is a revenue tax.
Mr.. Kelley wants free whisky, but not
free sugar; Mr.. Cannon wants free whisky
and free sugar; the purpose of these gen.
tlemen being the same: the perpetuation of
the existing war tariff.
Mr.. Cannon proposed sugar bounty in
place of the protective duty, and Kelley de-
nounced bounties as contrary to Republican
precedent
The tariff is huge bounty system con-
cealed by the method of collection and pay
ment. The principle is identical in each,
only the bounty would give the whole game
away.
The incidents of the debate are instrus-
tive, says the Louisville Courtsr,Jo,v,dl. and
they show that the Republicans are at sea
on the whole question of tariff revision.
Force the fighting.

Tho ETect of PrincinIe.

One day the owner of some Colorado sill.
yer mines was making preparations to 90
out prospecting with party Of gentlemen
from the East who had money. The first
thing they did was to equip themselves with
weapons OF every description, revolvers,
bowie knives, guns, etc.
The proprietor of the mines had in his
employ young man of very firm spiritual
principles, who was thoroughly imbued
with Christ's teachings.
This young man he intended to leave alone
in camp; so he gave him similar weapons to
those he and his friend were armed with.
"What are these forin inquired the
young man. "I don't want them"
30, yes; you may be attacked by Indians,
and you will want something to defend
yourself with"
''If was attacked I should not use them.
An Indians life is just as valuable as mine,
and / have no right to kill him"
'Do you really mean it'll"
Certainly, do"
"Well, if that's the case, you're all right
you're not going to get hurt, and you may
take charge of the money and valuables
Here gentlemen" he said to his friends,
''if you have anv thing of value about you,
you can leave it in perfect safety in this
young mans charge. He bears a charmed
life"
So, watches and chains, rings and money
and whatever Of value they had were placed
in his keeping, without weapon Of defense,
while the prospecting party went OF armed
to the teeth, having perfect confidence that
they would find every thing safe when they
returned. And they did. HOLLY Hook.

The Weapons of the Covara.

1t might have been expected that the
nomination of Mr.. Melville ". Fuller for
Chief Justice of the United States would
be considered by the Senate committee to
which it was referred in spirit commen-
surate with the dignity of the office and the
high character of tho gentleman named by
the President. Partisan spleen, which has
been so literally expended on other nomi-
nations, should have been silent when the
question of the appointment Of the Chief
Justice was under consideration. But
Republican malignity towards the party
chosen by the people to administer their
affairs is no respecter of persons or posi-
tions. There was no opportunity to de-
clare open war upon Mr.. Fuller, and, there
fore, the weapons of the coward, anony-
nous charges and sneaking insinuations,
were resorted to. And the chief promoter
Of the despicable kind of warfare is no less
parsonage than Senator Edmunds, whose
age and experience in public life should
teach him better. In his capacity as chair
man Of the Judiciary Committee, to which
Mr.. Fuler's nomination has been referred,
he has constituted himself sort Of recepta-
Gle for all the covert ISLANDERS and contempt
ible insinuations against a man whose char
acter has stood as tho emblem of probity,
ability and professional honor among those
who know him.-AIbGny Argus.

The Old Roman.

The most attractive man who is now
prominently before the public is. without
doubt, Allen G.. Thurman. At an age when
nearly all successful men have retired, as
far as possible, from worldly cares, he is
called upon 10 give up his leisure, in order
that he may aid in bringing about the con-
tinuaEce Of a National administration
which he believes to be governed by wise
ideas. 1t Is not likely, says the Chicago
Neacs, that personal ambition could have
tempted this old man from his home into
the noisy world of politics. He feels that
he Is performing duty to his country and
his party, and, therefore, he places himself
at their disposal.
Judge Thurman's record is such that he
has no need of further honors to make his
name secure in the country's history. His
service in the Senate places him high in
the list Of American statesmen. There
fore, no one can doubt the sincerity of the
words which he addressed to the committee
who notified him Of his nomination: al
had ceased to be ambitious of public life. ,,
But, he added, he would yield his private
wishes to the demand of those Of his party
whose wishes he was bound to respect
A younger man, or a man less distiu-
gulshed than Judge Thurman, might be
suspected Of hypocrisy IN such an answer.
But no such suspicion can rest on him.
de tells the simple truth He has heard
what he believes to be the call Of duty and
he obeys.

A ROD IN PICKLE

For Little Ben-The Typographical Union
VIII Not support the Republican Candi-
date.
1t appears not improbable that BENJAMIN
Harrison will have to run the gauntlet Of
Just such another labor fight in In
dianapolis as was made in New York
against Mr. Blaine in 1884 In that year Il
may be remembered that the Republican
candidate had an organ, the Tribune, which
was engaged in a bitter controversy with
the typographical Union. The union had
declared war upon the Tribune, which had
excluded union men from its employ. The
union seized upon the stress Of hot politi-
cal campaign TO demand Of Mr. Blaine that
he should bring his organ to terms. The
editor OF the Tribune told Mr.. Blaine that
while he was ready to play any political
tune he might wish, politics could not be
permitted to order the interior economy Of
the newspaper Office. And so it came that
The Typographical Union marched in the
ranks of the Cleveland professions, and Mr..
Blaine lacked 1,047 votes of the Presidency.
If the printers had been for him no allitera-
tive blunder could have kept him from the
White House.
And now it happens, says the Chicago
Times, that in this year Of our Lord, Benia-
min Harrison has an organ in Indianapolis
that late and early grinds forth his praises.
u Is edited by Mr.. John G. New, who is the
sponsor and guardian Of the Harrisonian
boom This organ, the Journal, is a nom
union publication, and Mr.. Harrison finds
himself in the same predicament as Blaine
was in 1854 The union demands that Har-
rison shall force his non-union organ to
strike his flag, and New says that he will
see Harrison and his Presidential hopes In
Tophet first In vain Harrison says he is
not his EDITORS keeper; the Typographical
Union is relentless and whets its knife.
What lends seriousness to this local diff
ference is that Mr.. Harrison has not anv
margin Of popularity with workinR-men's
organizations upon which to draw When
he was only candidate for the Republican
nomination it was urged against him that
the knights Of Labor had rod in pickle for
him.
His record on the eight-hour question had
provoked the hostility of the labor element.
While in the Senate he had an opportunity
20 show his colors, and the Knights Of La
Dor claim that these were inimical to their
interests. Under the law governing the
hours OF Government labor a days work Is
eight hours. During Grants AdministrA-
ton II was necessary to keep some of the
force at work for ten hours, and, there be-
ing no provision to pay for their extra time,
bill was subsequently presented to Con-
gress to make it up to the men. 1t passed
the House almost unanimously, but owing
TO the strenuous opposition of Mr. Harrison
and several other Senators was defeated in
the Senate. And so it comes about that the
labor element Is not strongly predisposed in
Mr. Harrison's favor, and the Typographical
Union OF Indianapolis finds support in the
ranks Of the workinR-men.
