Result of the Primaries.

The one great advantage about a
popular form OF government is that
under 1t the people can always get
what they think they want and change
il when they find out that they don't
want it, In the long run we suppose
this will apply to the Crawford county
system, which on Saturday put in
nomination for mayor a man VINO,
it has been alleged. was largely
instrumental in placing in office the
present city administration. The Tri-
hume will, Of course, support the ma
jority choice Of the party and it trusts
that that choice will fulfil the high eN-
poctations of the people who made it.
The remainder of the ticket is irre-
prOachable.

sailing under the American flag. The
resolutions pledged those present "to
unite in urging our citizens to support
by their patronage, and our congress
to aid by appropriate and liberal laws,
the efforts of the American line to
maintain a place in the merchant ma
rine of the world; and, by legislative
action, TO extend still further encour-
agement to our merchants in their
efforts to recover our lost commercial
supremacy in the carrying trade of the
oceans. putting an end to our present
dependence upon ships of foreign ma
tions for the carriage Of the produc-
tions of our own country" properly
holding that Both National pride and
National interest demand that the hun
dreds of millions Of dollars yearly paid
by the people of the United States to
foreign ships for ocean freights shall
be paid to our own vessels, built and
navigated by our own citizens and fly
ing our own colors."
There is absolutely no sufficient rea-
son why we should depend on England,
Germany. France or any other foreign
country for ocean transportation. We
have the business to support American
ships, We have good American ship
yards to build them and we have some
of the hardest and shrewdest marin
ers alloat to sail them. The one lack
ing essential is a system of govern
ment subsidies adequate to put Ameri-
can capital into ship-building on terms
Of equality with competitive foreign
capital. This lack the present congress
is cXpccted to supply.

Nelson Dingley.

The career Of public usefulness and
distinction which came to an end on
Friday night by the death of Hon. Mel
son Dingloy presents many points or
interest and instruction. 1t is good
career to put before the minds Of young
men. 1t will do them good To contem-

young Dinglcy believed in keeping in
toXicants out of his own system as
well as out of the systems of other
people and proved his faith by estab-
fishing when only 16 years old, a sec

following year he taught n country
school and in 1851 entered college from
which he graduated in due course with
honor.

A reduction in the rate of postage be-
tween Great Britain and Canada from
3 to cents for letter postage went
into effect Jan. and already the postal
receipts in Canada for this kind of
correspondence have doubled. The
people generally want cheaper postage
and they celebrate each reduction in
cost by writing more letters. If con-
gress would force the railroads to car
ry mail for the government as cheaply
in proportion as they carry other ar
ticles for private shippers we could Mt
once have penny letter postage.

The launching at Elswick, Eng, Sat-
urday of the American cruiser Albany
served two purposes. 1t gave English
public opinion an opportunity TO show
its good will, which was improved to
the limit, and it drew attention to the
necessity under which the United
States, the leading manufacturing ma
tion Of the world, which builds war
ships for Russia and Japan, had tc
scour the markets of Europe for ships
to add to its own navy. Fortunately
the Albany is good boat; in buying
her we get our moneys worth, which
is more than can be said Of all the
purchases made last spring when we
were arming for the war with Spain.

Still, there was much truth in the
many assertions. A gentlemen of the
writer's acquaintance, a 80 years res
ldent of Ponce and a man of culture,
education and much knowledge of our
country and Europe, said that he had
lived in Porto Rico during many troub-
led years and under many modes of ad-
mlnlstration; that he had always avoid
ed politics and attended quietly to his
procession of doctor, and that during
all his residence here life had not seem
ed impossible, but that now it did.
In the past his family had always been
able to attend mass, to walk on the
piazza on a Sunday evening and to sit
out on their porch, which is on the
second floor without molestation of
any Kind from any one. But now that
MS daughters could not even sit at their
own windows without being subjected
TO insult, much less go on the streets
consequently his family were as pris-
onorS within the walls of their home
and 1t was his firm intention to remove
himself and them to country where
such things did not prevail The Por-
to Rican is no saint; far from it in
deed, he has his full share of faults
and vices, but the rowdyism of un-
controlled troops is particularly dis
tasteful and offensive to a people who
are at least gentle.

such men could perceive the self-re-

that was pathetic because of its ILL
concealed disal pointment a well known
local paper argued for fair judgment
and the refraining from hasty and unjust
general criticism. The educated natives
saw the matter in this light, but the
majority did not; the majority judged
the army and the country by the acts
OF few and mal-reputation of our
soldiers grew apace. The pendulum
swung back too far in the other direc-
tion-this is a country and language of
exaggerated words and the army got
worse than it deserved.

People here looked forward to a COM
mercial revival and an influx Of Amer
lean capital to follow the army; there
were rose colored dreams as to what
American business would do for the
island. For these dreams VIC are not
responsible. They were unrcaeonably
exaggerated by the islanders them
selves and 1t is not our fault if we
have not fulfilled their cXpectati tions.
The capital will doubtless come by
means of loan and trust companies and
the business revival is retarded by the
existing tariffs. But the islanders cX-
pectcd so much and today see so lit
tie that his heart fails him and he
cries. 'My unhapy country, what is
thy future?' He has seen q number of
Americans, all anxious to exploit him
for all he is worth, and this instead of
his dreams, He has been offered a
varied assortment of cheap goods by
loud speaking drummers, who have
come down declaring they would show
the "daEos" how to hustle. Because of
existing tariffs and uncertainty con-
ccrning the money question the Porto
Rican has bought sparngly, and the
drummer has gone home, declaring that
the island was no good. Beer whiskey
and tobacco sellers have been the most
fortunate; some orders for these goods
have been placed and indefinite future
contracts entered into. But the seek
ers abound, looking for chances. They
have found it difficult to obtain advan-
tages from the government and they
have found Porto Ricans anxious To
sell poor farms for good prices. Many
have gone back to the states in dis
gust, others are holding on, always
waiting for some indefinite opportun-

This Is how the Porto Rican sees
us, and he is "a good judge of men and
manners. This is the outcome of his
exaggerated hopes and he is prone TO
whimper like a child. First impress
sions are lasting. shattered idols are
slow in re-establishing themselves. The
Porto Rican had no right to the idol,
but he set it up and today 1t is crumb-
ling. To the Porto Rican the result
of the last three months is doubt.
Doubt as to what future does really
lie before this country, doubt as 10
what the Americans can and will do
for him. There is regret that we did
not land to find him fighting the Span
lard that they then might have the
same claim to independence as has
Cuba. Rose cOlored hopes gave us a
ringing welcome in the beginning, sor-
rowful doubt has stepped in and to-
day we get only the welcome of our
courtesy and good manners.
