Some of Those in Porto Rico said to Re
Guilty of Gross Misconduct.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 10.-The cabinet
session was devoted to a large extent tc
consideration Of complaints that have
reached the war department, alleging
that a state Of practical anarchy prevails
in Porto Rico. These complaints as.
serted that the lawless elements in Porto
Rico are committing depredations of tn,
gravest character, and that the serious.
ness OF the situation is increased by rea.
son OF the fact that United States troops
stationed in the island likewise have
been guilty Of gross misconduct. The
cabinet took c%ognizance of the reports
and on adjournment Secretary Alger, at
the instance of the president, cabled
General Brooke, inquiring as to the q
curacy Of the complaints.

The hypocrisy OF repu blicans previous
to election IN claiming everything that
was good for high tariff and especially
tor the Dingley bill as a event pro-
Queer is now thoroughly exploded by
the confessions of all their leading tariff
advocates themselves, Mr.. Dlngley ex-
cepted, but the last advocate We expect
Ell to tumble from its high perch and
supercilious attitudr was that hide
bound gold standard aud high protec-
ton organ. the Pioneer Press OF ST.
Paul. Now hear its slckening confess.
ion OF weakness and note its slump al
most into the an~ti-monapoly camp.
Such utterance as We here clip from its
editorials Of the 18th inst, would have
placed it in the list OF traitors 10 the
country by the republican and admins
tration press. 1t says:
Senator Hanna has retIaced or ex-
planned away his previously reported
opinion that the tariff will have I o be
revised to meet existing conditions
that "we are not getting much revenue
from the present tariff law because we
are exporting instead Of importing" and
that " must have a new revenue law"
It was probably after a conference with
Mr.. Dingley, who no doubt pointed out
to him that the present tariff wss a
fairly good ven producer, that he
came to the conclusion that he meant
that the tariff would need revision at
some future time, but that We should at
once put increased duties on tea and
coffee TO provide the additional revenues
We need. 1t Is probably true That the
at present. But there are some par
ticulars in which it obviously needs
amendment in order to provide ad.
dltlonal revenues, and still others in
which it needs amendment for tho pro-
lection OF from the greed OF
the trusts which are being organized by
tected industries. 1t is sound republi-
can doctrine that whenever the bene-
f~iciaries OF a protected industry form a
combine to do away with domestic COM
petition and arbitrarily raise prices the
protective duty should be so lowered as
to admit sufficient foreign competitor to
keep prices at their legitimate level.
Note that last clause especially. Since
when has such belief become Sound re.
publican doctrine" It must be since
the time every republican in congress
voted against Senator Pettigrsw's
amendment to the Dingley bill provid-
ing for putting articles which became
the object OF trust on the free list. II
it is republican doctrine now, it has been
resolved upon since the recent election
and is q hedging dodge TO get on the
side Of the people before the next presi.
Dental campaign begins. But whatever
the motive it shows the craven spirit
and white feather Of the republican who
now advocates it.
