M'KlNLEYs VIEW.

The question growing ont of the Gu.
ban. Porto Ricarr and Philippine Islands
has been rhe meanssof getting the re
publican leaders into an embarrassing
predicament. Congress is very much di-
viced on the policy to pursue and 1t has
been exceedingly difficult to even guess
as to where the president stood until

tor OF Harper's Weekly. secured state
ment from the chief executive himself.
We Herewith quote extracts to show
what President Mckinley personally
says of the issues involved We do not
care to comment at this time, further
than to say that 1t is easy for the care

President has his eagle eye on the in
terestS of the trusts and to that end
recommends high protective tariff in
instances where the interests of COM
bined wealth might otherwise suffer.

TO sum it up, 1t is Mr.. McKinley's
belief, and it will be his purpose to car
ry the belief into operation that the
constitution does not apply to any of
our new islands; that these people are
not tit for government beyond that
proposed for Hawaii; that our new pos
sessions must not be permitted to in
jure any of our protected interests;
and that free trade with Porto Rico is
right because our protected interests
will not be injured thereby
Barbour County index. [volume] (Medicine Lodge, Kan.) 1880-current, 1900-03-07

Therefore, it does not 1ouow. on
the Presidents theory, that if free
trade is established between this coun.
try and Porto Rico that, therefore.
there should not be a protective tariff
against the products OF the Philippines
and of Cuba, for Cuba is talked about.
naturally, in administration circles and
II Congress as if it's annexation to this
country were matter of course.
"One thing is settled definitely in re.
spect of the Philippines. The open
door is not to be applied to them. The
republican party will not consent to
give to The Asiatic world an opportun-
ity to land its goods in the Philippines
free of duty, to enjoy whatever modifi-
er tariff there may be established be-
tween the Philippines and this coun-
try.
= THE protected interests are not to
be injured by the annexation of any
territory. Mr.. Mckinley did not favor
free trade with Porto Rico until he was
satisfied that no harm would come to
any American interests.
Barbour County index. [volume] (Medicine Lodge, Kan.) 1880-current, 1900-03-07

There are serious conditions in Por-
to Rico and in Hawaii. Affairs are
going so badly in the former island that
the people are suffering sore distress,
and the President Is anxious for their
relief, knowing as well as any one can
the serious effect upon our prestige and
upon the reputation of his own admin
istration that would follow an insur-
rection against our authority

. In his annual message Mr.. McKin-
ley spoke of the Hawaiins as entitled
to the rights and principles granted OF
reserved by the constitution, but he re-
ferred only to civil and not t. political
rights.
at any rate, he now holds that con.
gress may pass one tariff law for Porto
Rico, another for Hawaii, and another
for the Philippines, and that all NAV
be different from that of the United
States. It.does not appear likely to
his mind that any one question can ev-
er arise az to the civil rights of the peo
pie of these places.

"a change has come over him. The
resolution which made him ruler of
Hawaii provided that the laws of the
Hawaiian republic should apply to the
Islands so far as they did not contra
vene the constitution of the United
states. 1t was also provided in the
same resolution that the then existing
Hawaiian customs laws should remain
in force.

THE ANTITRUST ACT.
United 8 :cs Circuit Judge
G.. 4. KOhlsaat.

Chicago, Jan. 3O.-Judge c. c. Kohl
saat, in the United States circuit
court, decided the antitrust act of
the Illinois legislature void on the
ground that the statute contains both
class and special legislation, and is in
controvertion of the federal and state
legislations. The opinion of the court
bears more directly on the ninth
clause of the act of 1898, but the valid
ity of the whole act is also denied.
The ruling was made in the case OF
the Union Sewer Pipe Co. against
Thomas Connolly, but applied as well
to the case of same plaintiff against
VIM. Dee, the two cases having been
tried onjointly. The court took the
case from the jury and gave instruc-
tions that the finding be in favor of
the plaintiff.
The Union Sewer Pipe Co. brought
suit to recover upon promssory notes
given by the defendants, who con-
tended that the plaintiff was a trust
or commission organized for the ex-
press purpose of creating and carry
ing out restrictions IN trade.

Tom Horn, had run down two of the
