THE PEOPLE OF PORTO RICO,

THE PEOPLE OF PORTO RICO,
by their representatives in Washing
ton, declare that if the United States
freed Porto Rico, they do not yet know
of what that freedom consists. This
complaint, as it happens, is a just one.
The treatment of the Porto Ricans has
from the first been based on a wrong
theory. The island had enjoyed auton-
omous government for some years, and
the residents had shown themselves
capable of conducting their own af-
fairs. They we're. contented and pros
porous. With the coming of American
sovereignty, however, they were plac-
ed under military government. Their
foreign trade has been shackled by
both the Porto Rican and United
States tariffs. Though a part of the
United States, Porto Rico is denied free
trade with this country. AS a result in
dustry and commerce languish. 1t may
be said that this is the fault of Con-
gress in not providing a civil govern
ment for Porto Rico. 1t is really the
fault of the President, who should
have summoned Congress in extra ses-
sion to deal with this and other colon
ial problems. MACKAY.

Last evening about half-past hve
o'clock Officer Shannafelt arrested Mrs.
Mitchell Kennedy and a young man
named Frank Coss at T~wenty-eighth
street and locked them up. The wo-
man was the worse for drink and her
husband was trying to get her to ac-
company him to their home, which is in
a boat house in that locality. The wo-
man refused to accompany her husband
and when the latter attempted to use
force, Coss interfered and knocked
Kennedy down. There was fair pros
pect for a general row when the Off
Ger appeared and quelled it. There
was a large crowd attracted to the
scene by the contention of the men and
woman

While there is always a boom in pas
senger travel while the Fourth of July
half-fare rates are in effect, there is
invariably a corresponding lull after
that period. Since the Fourth the pas
senger business has not been a sixth
of what it was then and it has not
even been up to the average OF what it
was before that time. What is true
with the railroads is also true to a
greater or less extent with all business
and merchants report the past few days

low average is in part due to the ex-
tremely low wages paid in the south
ern states, where farm laborers receive
but $12.71 per month, without board.
The average for the remainder of the
country is something over $25. Three
millions of men are compelled to live
on these scanty earnings, which, Mr..
Holmes says, seem hardly sufficient to
provide subsistence for a family. 1t is
not strange that many of these poorly
paid laborers prefer military glory at
$3.50 a month, and enticed by the
glowing circulars of the recruiting of
ficers, enlist in the army for service in
the Philippines.

The Uniform Rank, K. of P, have set
on foot a movement to hold a street
fair here for a week during September.
The name adopted for the affair is a
Novelty Circus" although it is to be
more of an exhibition on the part of
merchants, manufacturers and farmers
than a circus proper. The suggestion
is a good one as large crowds would
be attracted to the city, and
the interests of Bellaire and
surrounding country would be
advertised to the public. Besides it
would be a legitimate attraction which
would do Ae city good in other ways
as we'll as from a business standpoint.
If the residents on Belmont street above
Thirty-flfth have no objection, it has
been suggested that would be a good
place to hold the fair. The promotion
of the enterprise will depend much up
on the extent to which merchants and
Bellaire people generally can be inter-
ested in it. but most of those to whom
the subject has been preached have
given encouragement. Last evening a
committee met at the home of Robert
Lichtenberger. chairman, to talk the
matter over, and if it is determined to
go ahead preliminary steps will be TAX
en- at once to get the project under
Roadway.

very quiet. The people wind" them
selves on a holiday and have to stop
to take a long breath and a new start.


Bellaire is well supplied with circus
attractions this week, there being two
here at present. Shell Bros. have been
drawing good crowds at their pavilion
show in the Fifth ward, and Fustner
Bros. will repeat their exhibition on
the commons this afternoon and even
ing. The latter came by wagon from
Aetnaville, and owing to a mishap on
the way, were unable to show yester-
day afternoon. When stands are made
close together they do not go to the
expense of having their car moved, and
it was left at Martins Ferry.
For the past few days the town has
been infested to an unusual extent
with tramps. AS is customary with
the average hobo, they are all hunting
work, and something to eat, with the
hope of securing the latter and escap-
ing the former. One family on Thirty
first street, in the Second ward, had
five tramps to call on them Thursday,
and three yesterday, and a restaurant
in the same locality had eight inquiries
for food in one day. The gang appears
to have struck the town about a week
ago, and has been industriously work
ing private our and public lunch
counters.

The force of workmen at the B. & O..
strides in widening the roadbed to ac-
commodate two tracks. There are now
about fifty men at work and the ap-
pearance of the road at that point has
been wonderfully changed in the past
two weeks. The plan of the company
appears to be to do all of the heavy
grading first and leave the lighter grad
ing for such a time as it is desirable to
put down the extra track. At some
points the old track will have to be
shifted to one side or the other and
these changes will occur before the
new work is commenced.

FEARS OF A SHALLOW MIND.



Seattle, Nov, is. 1899.
To the Editor: Before reading your edi-
torial In today's paper had been perusing
Auditor Casselps objections to the estab-
lishment Of q postal savings bank depart
ment. Just the sane idea occurred to me
as to you, that an official who would put
forward the difficulty OF accounting as a
reason for noninstitution of money order
or savings bank business was scarcely fit
to I'LL his position. The same objection
10 equally applicable to the conduct OF the
postofiice Itself. or to the raising of gov
eminent or any other taxes. and might be
equally as well quoted against the carry
Ing on of railroad. express. telegraph or
any other large undertakings involving
accounting" which seems such a bogy
with Mr.. Casseil.
In England and Canada the postal saw
iIgs bank department has proved a uni
versal blessing TO the people. The ahso-
lutte security enjoyed by depositors en-
courages thrift. II L. this sense OF safety
which leads many to make deposits and to
put by small sums for the benefit OF their
children while they are quite young. which
sums would otherwise reach no bank at all
and be frittered away. The system encour-
ages saving habits In the youngsters, who
take pride In being possessors Of real
banking account" They become better
citizens when grown UP through feeling
and knowing that they have q real stake
In the finances and institutions OF their
country. To argue against the establish
ment OF such an admirable institution be-
cause OF some fancied difficulties in "ac-
counting" shows either a shallow mind or
q not altogether disinterested view Of the
case.
