the fact that the canal will enable the

that it will be highly advantageous
to the United States. From a

Trouble Over The
Puerto RiCan Tariff
Bill.

The cable news received by the
BOLETIN to-day indicates that the
Republican leaders in The House of
Representatives in Washington are
not finding it an easy task to force
the passage of the Puerto Rican ia
riff bill. They have found opposed
to them a strong and even increasing
under-current of sentiment among
their own followers to the effect that
it would not only be bad policy tc
impose tariff duties of any Kind on
the products of the United States
entering Puerto Rico, and vice
versa, but that it would be even
unconstitutional to do. In general
this sentiment has not found public
expression, as the power of party
discipline is great, but i'll few no.
table instances, including Llttlefeld
of Maine, Nc Call of Massachusetts,
and Bromwell of Ohio, prominent
Republicans have not hesitated,
when confronted with what they con,
sldered a public duty, to openly
and publicly oppose the bill presented
by their party.
Many others, while not taxing SO
determined and hold stand, have
demonstrated with the Republican
leaders. and in one case the entire
republican delegation of a State
that of Indiana-visited President
Nc Kinley personally in reference to
this question.
To show how desperate the situa-
ton must seem to the Republican
leaders, we call attention to the
news cabled to-day that it has been
suggested as a compromise to en-
power President Nc Kinley to de-
ternine the fiscal policy of Puerto
Rice tits not probable, however, that
Congress will thus skirk its plain
duty, or attempt to saddle upon the
President its own responsibilities.
Nor is it believed that such so
luton Of tie problem would be at
all satisfactory. One .of t he most
important things is to have our fis.
cal policy determined and st tiled in
one way or the other. No matter
what action the President should
take, another President might undo
it, or he himself, even, might chan
ge his mind from time to time, and
as often change the tariff.y
No, whatever action is taken, sho
uld be taken permanently BY Con
gress and the President acting toge-
ther, and not by tue latter alone.
Altogether, the prospects for free
trade seem to be groEing brighter.

harmony thus assured one of the

The law will begin by giving the
examiners the right CT forbidding
marriages only among persons who
fail to reach the standard of mental
and physical fitness fixed by the
State.
1t has been suggested that there
is no reason why a truly benefcent
Legislature should not prevent the
misery arising from improvident
marriages by fixing financial STAN
dard of fitness.
If it is objected that such legisla-
ton might lead to evil by discourag-
ing matrimony the obvious answer
would be that the law can easily go
a step further and give the county
boards authority to compel marriages
between suitable persons, as selected
by them. Why has Colorado a LIE
gislature except to make laws, and
why are laws made eGcept to abridge
the liberty of the citizen and hand
his personal affairs over to the care
