after the ha' penny news rag, and takes
1t with his rasher or Quaker oats. He
goes off growing at some general or an

Tawney's Mistake.

Princeton Union -
Congressman Tawney IS one Of the
ablest men In the Minnesota delegation
and indeed compares favorably in point
of ability with the best men In the house.
But he made a mistake and belittled him
self In the public estimation when he
impugned the motives of Congressman
Little1leld. of Maine, who opposed the
Puerto Rican tariff bill. Littiefleld was
on that side of the bill which has only
the poor Puerto Rican and the poor
American for its hackers. Tawney, on
the other hand, Is on the side which ia
vors the sugar and tobacco trusts. Mr..
Tawney might have chosen a more oppor-
tune time and better subject for the
display of his oratorical talents, and he
could not have chosen a worse time or
worse subject upon which to express
doubt of the honorable motives Of an
other member

made to undo the threatened effect of a

But aside from the question of the eff
feet that free trade with Puerto Rico
would have on these two trusts, We have
no more right to impose a tariff on the
products of this island than we have on
the products of New Mexico or Arizona,
or than one state has to impose duty
on the product of another state, and If
the majority in congress allow them
selves to be led into committing the crime
against the constitution Of the United
States, they must expect to have to meet
