The Dewey Day celebration in
Wheeling was not as big a success
as was expected. In the first place
the weather was very disagreeable
and Dewey himself not much better.
He refused most of the courtesies
offered him and acted very rudely,
showing that he did not appreciate
the kindness and many good things
done for him. The fact Of il is, as
we have before indicated, Dewey
has been considerably spoiled by
the fool American people.

VIOLATING rmE CONSTITUTION.

The Bill before Congress To levy
IA IS per cent. tariff on the products
Of Porto Rico, is direct violation
of the Constitution of the United
States if it becomes a law and it
looks nov like the Republicans
would pass it, for the Constitution
is but triae when it conflicts with
the new reign of imperialism in this
country. When Porto Rico was
annexed it was declared she had
become part of the territory of
the United States. The Constitu-
ton requires in terms that "all
duties, imposts and excuses shall be
uniform throughout the United
States" President Mckinley in
his very last message to Congress
said
"Our plain duty is to abolish all
custom tariffs between the United
States and Puerto Rico and give
her free access 10 our markets. +"
But this policy conflicts with
some of the big trusts and monopo-
lists and Mckinley has already
made a complete change of front
and has not only declared his will
ingness to sign the Porto Rico
tariff bill, but is using his power to
bring Republican members to vote
for it. In its formal report the
House Ways and Means Committee
holds:
That Congress has power to
govern Porto Rico and the Philip
pines independent of the limitations
of the Constitution.
The same law would apply to
any of our other territories and
imply that Congress has the right
to impose tariff upon the products
of Arizona, Oklahoma and New
Mexico, so it seems after all that
the Constitution does not follow
the flag and if we unjustly tax our
territories without giving them rep
rescntation we exactly reproduce
the tyranny which caused our fore
fathers to rebel against King George
the Third. To what is imperialism
leading anyhow

The so.called Goebel election
law Of Kentucky is grossly misun-
derstood by nearly everybody In
the first place the late Cover
nor Goebel was not the
author of it, although it bears his
name. As a matter of fact he
fought the passage of the law in
the Legislature, but it passed and
by strange turn of the wheel of
fortune it bore his name and he fell
victim to the workings of the law
for the action of the legislature
which declared Goebel elected was
not in accordance with the pro.
visions of this act but in accordance
with general law similar to that in
force in every state in the
Union. The board which acted
under the provisions of the Goebel
law declared the Republicans to
have been elected, but almost
everybody understands it the other
way. Our authority for this is
Hon. Henry Watterson, the able
editor of the Louisville Courier
Journal, who was in Morgantown
last week and explained the matter
as above to the students of the
University in a talk to them.

The Democratic National Com
mince is determined to lead the
Republicans this campaign on
patriotism. TIE Committee met in
Washington City on Washington's
Birthday and decided to hold the
Democratic National Convention in
Kansas City, on July 9TH, next.
Hon. John T McGraw, the mem
Der from West Virginia, proposed
July 18th as the day, although some
wanted il held in June, but Nc
Graw's patriotic date carried and
was adopted. Milwaukee made a
gallant fight for it, but the vote
stood 40 for Kansas City to for
Milwaukee. The big majority for
the former was a special tribute to
Bryan, as that was his preference.

Things are getting quiet down in
