KinIey's AID minstration.

The New York Sun has at last broken
company with the Mckinley administra-

measured terms. The conditions that
prevail in Porto Rico and Cuba are es-
pecially distasteful to the Sun. That pa

of Cuba was scandal not to be endured
by civilized country in the posotioD oc-
c-pied by the United States SO are the
existing relations between the United
States and Porto Rico scandalous ard
uncomfortable.
"To end the first we were required to
make war; 10 end the second it is neces-
sary to pass an act of congress waving
or modifying the tariff.
"The best way OF facing the new situa-
ton would be to abolish the tariff DC

entirely, in accordance with the original
recon- ,ndallon If the president. But a
simple modification world be better
