MOLINE AHEAD OF US IN
REPUBLICAN DELEGATES

The Moline Dispatch, with appar-
ent satisfaction, presents a table
showing the basis of representation
at the next republican county con-
veEtion, in which Moline, as result
of her large vote for Mckinley Nov.
6, will have more delegates than
Rock Island, and may help that city
to break into the court house with
another official. The Dispatch says:
The new republican county con-
vention in which the representation
will be based on the vote for McKin-
ley this month, will consist of $50
delegates. At all events that will be
the number if the same basis is used
as heretofore-one delegate at large
from each townshi p and one delegate
for each % votes or fraction of more
than half that number cast for Nc
Kinley for president.
''Of these $50 delegates, Moline will
have 116, Rock Island ia, and the
country townships an aggregate of
125. 1t will be seen that Moline will
have two delegates more than
Rock Island is entitled to,
though in the last convention
Rock Island had Il more than
Moline. South Moline has made re-
markable record in the growth of her
repu blican vote, gaining four dele
gates, Notwithstanding the loss of
StewartvilIe, whish has come into the
city since the vote of 1896 was taken.
South Rock Islands representation re-
mains unchanged.
"Msline and Rock Island together
gain SO delegates, South Moline I,
and the remaining townships exactly
hold their own-topr townships gain
ing one each. and four losing one
each The four that gain are Buffalo
Prairie. Coal Valley, Cordova and
The four that lose are
Bowling, Drury, Hampton and Port
Byron"

ident's party should await with
the greatest misgiving The su-
preme courts ruling upon the con-
stitutional status of Porto Rico. If
that body holds that Porto Rico is now
essentially part of the United States,
and that therefore the levying of a
tariff tax from which other sections of
the United States were exempt was
unconstitutional and illegal, not only
must the Mckinley administration
modify its colonial policy" but it
must stand convicted before the peo-
pie of a very serious assault upon the
rights of American citizens.
President McKinley's position in
such a contingency would be embar-
RAISING indeed, inasmuch as the pres
ident clearly saw the right when he
announced to congress that it was
''our plain duty" to extend free trade
to Porto Rico. 1t was only under
pressure from the sugar trust that
Mr. Mckinley reversed himself on this
issue, and pressure from the sugar
trust is not a strong plea in extenua-
ton of sin against the constitution.
Mr.. Mckinley seems to be in line for
a rebuke that should be most humil-
iating to an American president.

1.-The Dairy Farm Coming.

The Dairy Farm" a quaint rural
drama by Eleanor Merron, will be
presented at the Burtis Thursday,
matinee and evening, by thoroughly
competent company of actors and
staged with all the original scenery
and costumes. This charming play
is quaint. homely and rustic to de-
gree. 1t portrays human emotions
and teaches the lesson that sternness
and self-assumed infallibility are i'll
placed feelings in human breasts. In
writing the play Miss Merron has
alienated that part that is so promi-
nent in the rural drama, where the
william always betrays some more or
less innocent country girl. This feat
ure is absent in The Dairy Farm. ="
In fact, in the whole play there is
nothing suggestive nor anything that
could possibly offend the finer feel
ings of the most critical.

PRESENT STATUS OF Porto RICO.

United States District Judge
Browns ruling that Porto Rico is a
part of the United States and that,
under the terms of the Paris treaty
which seded the island to us, it may
not now be regarded as foreign terri
tory, the st. Louis Republic declares
is soundly based on law and in &C
cordance with the American constitu-
ton. The Republic also remarks it is
only reasonable to expect that in the
Goetze case, coming shortly before
the supreme court of the United
States. a decision of similar tenor will
be rendered. This case strikes di-
rectly at the legality of the Porto
Rican tariff bill passed by a republic
can congress at the dictation of Presi-
dent Mckinley. Its hearing by the
supreme court offers the first oppor-
tuuity for that high tribunal to pass
judgment upon the act which Former
President Harrison has denounced as
constituting "a wide departure from
right principles. 1t is natural, under
the circumstances that the pres
