WILL NOMINATE M'KINLEY.
From the Washington Times.

From the Washington Times.
1t is reported that Mr.. Hanna has as
signed to Senators Depew and Wolcott
the pleasing duty of making the two
principal speeches at the Philadelphia
Convention in June. This, of course,
means that these distinguished orators
are to present MIR. McKinley's name to
the convention.
Senator Depew will make the nominat-
ing speech and Senator Wolcott will
second the nomination. 1t is intimated
that Senator Wolcott's part is condi-
toned upon his election to the conven-
tion as a delegate at-la.ge, though Just
why this should cut any figure in the
case is not apparent. For oaatorical pur-
poses Mr.. Wolcott could enter the con
vention on proxy. 1t is presumed
that the condition imposed by Mr..
Hanna will promote the candidacy Of
Senator Wolcott for delegate-at large, his
Colorado constituents seeming to he
somewhat set against him at present.
DIR. Dapew is expected to make the
greatest speech Of bis life. lie has made
iunumerable notable speeches in National
Conventions, covering period OF two or
three generations, and his cratory is just
as fresh and sparkling today as it ever
was. lie presented the name OF Levi l..
Morton to the last Repu 5lican Conven-
ton, though he was careful at that time
to say nothing that was calculated to IN
jure the cause of Mr.. Mckinley. The
admirers OF the international orator even
to this day insist that if he had turned
himself loose at st. Louis in 'gG his ora
torv would have made the Mckinleyites
lose some of the cockiness with which
they entered the convention. But the
DOCTORS heart will be in his work this
year, it is thought, and, therefore, he is
expected to scrape all the blue off tie
armament and set the music Of the
spheres to going by his eulogy of MIR.
Mckinley, whom so excellent an author
ity as the Hon. Benjamin Tilman the
other day characterized as lone of the
most lovabIe men ever in public life,
though little lacking in back bone at
times" 1t is said that Senator Depew
hes been at work on his speech for
nearly month and that he does not ex-
pect to have it completed before the first
of June. Then he will have nearly three
weeks in which to put a finer polish on
it than could be hoped for if he should
net be able to finish it before the con-
vention met.

TARIFF NOT BURDENSOME

From the Philadelphia Times OF Yesterday.
While the bill in its tariff enactment
falls short of performing the plain duty
to the people OF Plerto R'cl recon-.
mended by Presidcns Mckinley in lis
message to Congress, the duties collected
under it will BE- returned to Puerto Rioo
for the maintenance of the civil COVER i
nIent which it establishes, so that in
effect it lays no real burden upon the
people OF the island. The serious obiec.
tion to it is that it fails to recognize
Puerto Rico as standing upon the sam.
footing as the other States AMI Terri
tories now organic d under the Costitu-
tion and avs Of the United States.
This distinction may be considered more
sentimental than practical, but it is al.
ways best to do the right thing in the
right way. So far as the people of Puerto
Il CO are concerned the measure provides
them with civil government as nearly
appr 1xlmating to our own territorial
governments as the circumstances seem
70 justify, and IN it, tariff feature will
provide mpdicdm of revenue Wit
which tQ pay tie expenses of the goyera

TO DISCUSS RACE PROBLEM
from the Baltimore Sun of yesterday.

From the Baltimore Sun of yesterday.
The conference to be held at Mont
gomery, Ala, on May s for the discus
sion of race problems in the South may
inaugurate movement Of great impor-
tance not only to the South, but to the
whole country,
A conference OF broad minded, repre-
sentative Southern men should be able to
advance helpful and valuable sugges
tions for the settlement OF the race prob.
lem. They are better equipped than the
men Of the North or of the West for the
consideration of the problem and for lis
practical solution. They have no axes
to grind, no special or conflicting in
terests to promote-for the interest Of
one is the interest Of all. Every
Southern State would share in the i'm
provement OF the negro's condition,
mentally and industrially, and every
State in the South is willing, because the
negro is apparently destined to be per-
manent element in Southern life, to CON
tribute TO his advancement if ne is ca
pable Of further progress. How can he
be made more efficient industrallv with
out crowding the industrial white popu-
lation of the South? How can the sup
ply OF skilled negro labor be regulated so
that white labor will not suffer? How
can the usefulness and efficiency of the
negro as farm worker be developed to
his own advantage as well as to that OF
Southern agriculture? These are qnes.
tions which conference such as will as
eemble at Montgomery next month can
discuss inteligently and with that thor
ough knowledge of the regro's lmi'a.
tons which only those possess who have
known the blacks as slaves as well as
fteemen.

MUSKRAT AND DOG
Had a Lively Fight Over Third Street
Bridge Yesterday Morning.

A mix up between muskrat and dog
over Third street bridge yesterday MORN
ing caused considerable excitement in
that neighborhood. The muskrat came
up out of the creek and on crossing the
street was attacked bv large dog. A
fierce fight followed, which lasted for
about fifteen minutes, and by that time
had attracted quite large crowd. The
muskrat stood its ground and was tile
aggressor during the whole of the con-
test. After fighting for some time and
feeling the effects of the muskrat's teeth
on one OF his legs, the dog evidently
came to the conclusion that he was up
against the real thing, as he quit fight
lug and walked away. A decision was
rendered in favor Of the musk rat. Ii
was afterwards killed by colored boy.

ON THE RETIRED LIST.

From the Daily Republican OF yesterday.
The Regular Republican Convention
which met at Dover last month was
noticeable by the fact that the familiar
afes Of Washng9a F5ad Ee, Haspg Raob nS
Pickles and l. N. Mills were not seen
among the delegates. The leaders, to a
certain extent, were new. Is this sign
that the old war horses have gone out of
politics? Will they be heard from again
in the future councils of the Republican
party in Delaware?

GOOD SUGGESTION.

From the Philadelphia Record OF yesterday
Perhaps the practical politicians in the

treat Puerto Rice as a component part
of the United States until the Puerto
riquenos shall have been convinced that
they ought TO vote the Republican
ticket.
