PORTO RICO REPUBLICANS.

Both Porto Rico and the United States should
be benefited by the formation ut San Juan Of
new political party devoted to American
ideas. The prevalence Of those ideas among
the people Of the island is essential to tie es-
adjustment there OF the free civil government
which is the object OF our desires. The funda-
mental conceptions Of American citizenship
equality before the law, free and fair elections,
general education, separation of Church and
State, a judiciary divorced from politics-must
be disseminated and accepted as matters Of
course by the Porto Ricans before they will be
in position 10 carry on their own government
as province of the United States.
They will be acquired to much better purpose
II sought for by the people themselves than If
slowly enforced upon them by us In reaching
out for American ideas on their own part the
inhabitants have the advantage Of being able
10 take what Is necessary 10 their progress
without doing any violence to their own ways
We in trying to impose those essential ideas
would run the danger Of woundng their sensi-
bilities by attempting 10 remake them entirely
through simple failure to appreciate their point

THE LATEST CUBAN FOLLY.

General Gomez has treated with striking pa
thence and moderation the behavior Of the
Cuban body unlawfully calling itself an AS
sembly. His influence with the army and with
the people was so great that 1t soon became
evident the illegal body would be forced to stop
tts spiteful opposition and abolish itself unless
some new trick could be cOntrived as an excuse
for further delay. The previous postponcment.
professedly asked in order that messengers
from the body should have time to visit Wash
ington and make one more appeal to the Presi-
dent, was singularly without reason because
the question whether a larger sum should
be advanced by the United States than was
accepted for the army by Gomez had been re-
peatedly brought TO the attention of the Pres
ident, had been fully considered, and decided
with such emphasis that there was not the
faintest reason 10 believe another attempt
would bring different results. The messengers
came, but, as everybody knew before they start
ed IL was not practicable for the United States
to recognize them In any official capacity what
ever either as sent by the army whose sup
port Of Gomez had been plainly shown. or as
sent by the so-caled Assembly. which had no
vestige OF legal authority. The only reply
which Il was possible 10 expect, a positive re-
fusal by the President to change his proposal
was at once made. Learning this. the Illegal
Assembly was again on the point Of abOlishng
itself
Then came the dispatches which Sapguily
and his helpers claimed to have received from
some fnancier In this country. whose name
was naturally suppressed. No one has yet
been found who believes the story told by
these dispatches. To comprehend its extreme
absurdity il IS only needful 10 realize that no
body whatever exists which can pledge the
faith Of any future Cuban government, If one
should he formed. for the payment OF loan
of S200O0OO0 or any other sum- The pretend
ed Assembly has never claimed TO represent
anything but certain armed forces In insurrec-
ton. Local governments more or less conduct
ed by the Cuban citizens have now been estab-
lished under United States military sane
ton and control in different localities, but no
one of these would have power II II had the
desire TO pledge even its own municipality or
district for payment Of expenditures outside OF

book and letters from Senator Quay and
State Treasurer Haywood found in the
desk of Cashier Hopkins after that of
fetal had committed suicide. He read
long summary of what the books and
papers showed and stated what he ex-
pected to prove by them, to wit, that
through conspiracy with Cashier Hop
k1ns, State Treasurer Haywood and other
state treasurers, and possibly other Of
f1cials of the bank, Senator Quay used a
fixed amount Of state money deposited in
the institution and received interest on
another fixed portion of the state deposit
Mr.. Watson, Mr.. Quay's attorney, con-
tended that the mere fact that bank
clerks with no personal knowledge of the
truth of what they were writing entered
certain figures in book, which figures
purported to represent money paid to
Senator Quay, was no proof that the
money had been received by him or. that
there had been any intention to pay it
to him.
