A Maryland man, Thomas Guantrell,
Just home from long soiourn in Cuba
in the employ of the United States
government, makes some startling state
ments. Guantrell says he despises the
Cubans, as they hate the Amer leans.
He says the Cubans love war and hate
work. The Cubans will fight the
Americans, he says, before long, and
will all have to be killed of before the
island can be Americanized. This
genteman's sources of information are
not generally known, hut the prospect
he opens up is not an encouraging one.

One great source of worriment to
President Mckinley and his fellow
Protectionists at Washington who are
attempting to force the iniauitous
Porto Rico Tariff bill through the
Senate is the opposition of the Repub.
lican press of the country. They are
using various endeavors to discount
the effect of this opposition, but with
out avail. One Of their attempts was
the circulation Of a report, attributed
to Mark Hanna, that the Chicago
Tribune and indianapolis journal, two
influential Republican papers which
oppose the bill, would get back into
line and support it. The report greatly
annoyed John G. New, owner of the
Indianapolis Journal, who was consul
general at London under President
Harrison, and yesterday he said: "The
Journal will continue to advocate free
trade with the island" Editorially
the journal says: 1.-THE statement
which has been made in Washington
that the journal has in any manner
changed its attitude towards the Porto
Rican Tariff bill is false, and those
who made such a statement know il
was false when they made it"
Delaware gazette and state journal. (Wilmington, Del.) 1883-1902, 1900-03-29

The Republican members of the
United States Senate are still divided
over the proposed bill to impose tariff
taxes upon the trade of Porto Rico,
and the fate of the bill is uncertain.
Now, if these Republican Senators
want a good platform upon which they
may stand together, comfortably and
with credit, let them adhere to the one
promulgated by President Mckinley in
his message to Congress-, last Decen,
Der, when he said: "Our plain duty is
to abolish all customs tariffs between
the United States and Porto Rico, and
give her products free access to our
markets." 1t is true that President
Mckinley has ssince repudiated this
sound and admirable declaration, but,
after having firmly established them
selves upon this platform, the Repub.
lican Senators might take him by the
collar and ynnk him up beside them.

II should Make No Ditrerence.

The Union Republican of Georgetown
makes the rather surprising statement
that the clerk of the peace of Sussex
county refuses to present his account to
tho Levy Court, with the possible in
tention of holding 1t over until after the
election, in the hope that the Levy
Court may then be Democratic body,
and more generous in making the clerk s
allowances. .E
IL should not make a particle of diff.
ference in the matter OF allowances to a
public officer, whether the body making
them is Republican or Democratic in
its political complexion. Certainly ii
would be just as reprshensible for a
Republican Levy Court to refuse 10
allow the clerk Just compensation as
itwould for Democratic Levy Court
to deal extravagantly with him. Nor
should it be a hard matter to determine
what just and reasonable allowance
to the clerk of the peace should be. The
citizens are interested in the matter, as
they pay the taxes, and they should not
be imposed upon. As the Union Re.
publican very properly says: eff we are
going to have an economical and Just
administration of county affairs, the
way to begin is to have the courage tc
stop all excessive allowances, no matte,
by whom demanded. 1t requires oour.
age to do this. The party in power viii

In a public letter, Mr.. George A,

however, and it demands its pound of

The Union Republican of Georgetown

Maryland had another lynching, Mon
day, when a negro accused of having
attempted to feloniously assault a
young white woman was taken from
jail by mob and hanged TO tree.
There is, in nearly every instance, q
deplorable elament in lynching, and
particularly so in this case, as the
victim had not been positively identi-
fed. Tho feelings of the people, how
eyer, were intensified Ey very recent
crime of the same character, but of far
more heinous circumstances, the per-
petrator of which has thus far been
saved from their wrath by close con
