The conditions in Porto Rico are said
to be pitiable. Starvation such as has
cursed India under the imperial rule
of England is now making a vast char
mel house of this naturally prosperous
island under the rule of the present adj
ministration. In some districts the
death rate from actual starvation has
been one in every ten of population,
while in the city OF Ponce there We're
GOA deaths in the month of July alone.
The people are crying for bread and
begging for work. Under the rule OF
Spain the island had free trade with
the mother country and with Cuba
Now they have free trade with no
country. Business is paralyZed by an
iniquitous tariff imposed at the dicta-
ton of protected monopofies.

HELP FOR WOMEN
WHO ARE ALWAYS TIRED.

81 do not feel very we'll, 1 am SO
tired all the time. do not know what
is the matter with me-"
You hear these words every day; AS
often as you meet your friends just so
often are these words repeated. More
than likely you speak the same signii-
can't words yourself. and no doubt you
do feel far from we'll most of the time.
Mrs. Ella Rice, of Chelsea, Wis,
whose portrait we publish, writes that
she suffered for two years with bear
ing-down pains, headache, backache,
and had all kinds of miserable feelings,
all of which was caused by falling and
inflammation of the womb, and after
doctoring with physicians and numer-
GUS medicines she was entirely cured by

I:ryan's Rcmedir. for Trusts.

We have a remedy and oul. remedy
is, first, to put every trust-made arti-
ele on the free list; second, we propose
that congress shall provide that be-
fore any corporation does business out
side of the state OF its origin III shall
take out a license from the federal
government and this license shall only
be given when the corporation shows
that it has no water in it's stock and
that it is not attempting to monopo-
lie any branch of business. 1 believe
that would be Il remedy for the trusts
4 believe that no private monopoly
could exist w. j. Bryan.

dren. "The chldren are mine" he
says. The man who says that is a
conceited fool. In the first place he
does not know for certain that he is
their father, and if he is, he made no
sacrifice to be SO. All the pain of
motherhood is ners. All the tender
care and nursing and night watching
and generally all the prayers for their
safety and good conduct are hers,
while he is at the bank or store or
office or shop or maybe at his club
or billiard table There was a time
when the wife was the husbands
slave, according to the law. and the
children were his property, and it is
hard to eradicate that idea from some
mems minds in our day. Woman has
been called the weaker vessel, and
men the lords of creation SO long that
it won't obliterate. Girls, be careful
to whom you chain yourself for life.
Better sew or be a shop girl or a
typewriter or school-teacher or live
with kindred or friends and do house,
work than take any risks. Marry a
young man who has good principles
and good habits, and not much
money.
The love of money is still the same
old curse, and most of the young men
want to make it by short cuts and
dishonest practices. "Get money, get
it honestly, if thou canst, but at all
events, get money" is still their mot
to. The eager, grasping pursuit of
money is the curse of this age and
generation. Huntington is dead, and
left his millions behind, and his boast
was that all men were purchasable,
and when it was to his interest he
bought them, whether they were
legislators or congressman, or judges
of the courts. He spent millions that
way.
Some of our Office seekers are do
ing the same thing on a small scale
buying votes-yes, buying negro
votes. The white primary didn't
nominate them, and they have re-
nigged and reniggered. A little whis-
ky and few dollars will secure the
darkies, and the fear is that the
white primaries will prove a failure.
There are men running for Office as
independents who rely mainly on the
negro vote, and can't be elected with
out it. Such men ought to have the
contempt of every good citizen. They
ought to have contempt for them
selves, and l reckon they do. The
negro who sells his vote is not half
as depraved as the white man who
buys it. But we will know by watt
ing, and if the primary proves fail
ure, then let us have the Hardwick
bill or something better, and may the
Lord protect us from unprincipled
Office seekers.-Bill Arp, in Atlanta

AN ENTERPRISING ITALIAN.
New Arrival Couldn't Speak Much
English, But He Got There
Just the Same.

Giovanni Mulotti arrived in Chicago
from Italy about two months ago and
took up his residence with a friend on
the North side. He came supplied with
little capital and announced that he
intended going into business, hoping to
make a fortune before returning to the
old country says the Chronicle.
"You are too hasty," replied his
friend; lin the first place, you know
nothing about the English language.
and how do you expect to make money
in a strange land without knowing how
to speak the language?"
Leave that TO me-" declared the en-
ergetic Mulotti; that is an easy mat
ter"
The result was that several morn
ings ago Mulotti. with the aid of his
friend, purchased a horse and wagon
and loaded the vehicle with fruits and
vegetables. Several hours later he fol-
lowed in the wake OF a leather-lunged
peddler who was shouting his wares
at the top of his voice.
"Cabbages, onions. potatoes. bananas.
apples and oranges!" shouted the ped
dler. in ear-piercing tones.
Immediately behind him followed the
enterprising Mulotti. whose refrain
consisted of the simple words:
Just the same! Just the same!"
This was the extent of his English
vocabulary hut he made several sales

1, do not deny that there are some
marriages such as The Duke describes,
bnt such unions are very few. I agree,
and think most Of THE HxRALD's
readers do also, with the learned pro.
fessor Of Yale, who in . recent lecture
to the students Of that college, gave it
- his opinion that only about ton per
cent Of the marriages contracted are
true in every sense Of the word, that is.
not moro than this small number ever
realize the ideals they held In regard to
marriage. This means that nearly
ninsty IN every one hundred marriages
are commonplace. 1hs Duke has
therefore given u but one aide Of the
question-ths exceptions and DOT the

practical and not an ideal point Of view.
