DEPEw IS talk.

here is disappointment in the read
irg Of Senator chauncey Depew's ad-
dress on the Porto Rican question. He
entered the senate recently with great
reputation and was known far and
wide as an able man and orator; much
4 has been expected Of him, yet his prcs-
5erltation Of the subject seems common
place and not UP to anticipations. One
reason for this is that there IS charm
about his address that is missed in cold
type. Walter Wellman. in his Wash

THE sES.ArE,s DECISION.

The senate finally settled the Porto
Ricars controversy yesterday by adopt
ing the bill imposing a 10 per cent tar
iff on imports by a vote of 40 70 81 thus
bringing to a close the longest and
sharpest debate of the session. 1t was
intensified by republican division on
the question, some Of the ablest and
truest members Of the party being
among The opposition. AS a matter of
policy, tWo courses We're open 10 the
majority, either of which might be
chosen without seriously violating
party tsnets or party precedent. AS
I ne first impulse Of the president and
his advisers had been to give the Island
free trade. the most strenuous pleas
We're made upon the basis of TINS rec
ommendation. The later and maturer
elaboration Of the party leaders ana
the president favored a small duty as
the easiest ard best and most practical
means Of raising necessary revenue for
the island. Many members Of their
own party think that trade with Porto
Rico should have been made free and
this paper is eff that opinion, but it.
matters little for the tariff is too small
to make much difference
In the debate on this subject every
phase of state, national and interna-
tional relationship has been brought
out, the scope and genius of our gov
eminent have been exploited, ali! decis-
ions and preeedents showing or tend
ing to show constitutional powers and
limitations have been cited, and new
aiiEnments have been made. General
~ the basis of the contention upon the
part of the democrats has been L nat IN Y
provisions of our constitution extend
by their own force ever new TERRITORY
az soon as acquired, and as that ns,ru-
ment provides for free trade relations
betNeen the states, it would be a VIC
latlon OF its provisions to impose a
tariff. On the other hand, the republic
ans held that il requires congressional!
y action TO extend the provisions Of the
constitution and that congress has
power to make such tariff regu,a lions
as are needfu! with these new posses
sions. This assumption was based on
z welll.-established presidents. Only a
de's.lslong Of the supreme court, howeve.
cs r settle it, and now the republicans
hive made a statute that will bring
about such test after the bill becomes
law. However, one Of the best i'm
me diate results will be to settle condi-
tio1s in Porto Rico and give an Indus
( tri,u status that 1t has needed badly

A NARROW ESCAPE.

BY the narrow margin Of two votes
in the lower house the Iowa legislature
escaped committing very grave
blunder yesterday. The much dis
cussed "five-mile limit bill was Moth
ing more nor less than the old prohibi-
tory law applied to limited area and
1t possessed all the faults, shanls and
impotency OF that law. Its purpose was
to prevent the sale of liquor in a local
ity where public sentiment is such that
even the requirements of the mulct law
are not now enforced. After the states
experience with the old prohibitoly LAW
it is impossible TO understand how
legislators would believe that they
were going to reach the evil they We're
aiming at by any such measure, and.
politically speaking, it Would seem that
the party's experience With prohibition
had been such as to leave no more de-
sire to monkey With the buzz SIN.
AS to the conditions described as ex-
listing at Iowa City there has undoubt-
edly been a great dealsof exaggeiation.
That there is some drinking of liquor
done by students, even drinking to ex-
cess, there can be no doubt, but the
people of Iowa City are the ones who.
should control the matter. They are in
a position to know what the true con-
ditions are; they are better able 10 de-
wise corrective measures and may be
presumed to have the welfare Of stu
dents. school and city at heart. II any
liquor law can be enforced in Iowa the
5nulct law can, and when enforced il
needs but few restrictive measures in
college discipline to make Iowa City as
8 temperate and clean a place morally az
any other city where by the assembling

Another fact OF & reat Importance
IS that In the election just past, the

history Of the city. In estimating Its
population by the number of votes Des
Moines uses the multiple of 55s. To ap-

Tered us something new, something VAL
liable, was Mr.. Spooner. Mr. Depew
was evolutionary, and his glib special
pleading that the pending bill was just
and even generous to Porto Rico proved
most effective with the galleries. But
MIR. Spooner held the attention of the
senate as few men have done this vim
ter. For nearly three hours he stood
in the middle aisle of the senate cham
Der. and without manuscript or notes
delivered an argument as to our con-
stitutional powers and as to our policy
under those powers worthy the best
days of Webster. Calhoun and Hayne. =
The thoughts presented by Mr.. De-
pew have been threshed over until they
are trite or common property. Hence
as public man of acknowledged abil-
ity he did not sustain his reputation.
This reputation was made in other
spheres of action; to- sustain it now in
this forum OF brilliant intelleets will be
more than he viii care to undertake at
his mellow age and with his philosophic
spirit.
TIME OF TWO ROUTES.

CURED TO pass thru the Panama and

Burt in the Engineering Magazine for
April
+ The Panama route is forty-six mites
from ocean ocean, against l14 miles
for Nicaragua. oG this transit, twenty
nine miles at Panama and fortynine ut
Nicaragua are in an eXcavated channel
requiring SLOW speed and careful nayi-
CATION. In addition, careful navigation
will be required thru eighty-th miles
of San Juan s.ackwater and dledged
lake channel At Nicaragua, and thru
seventeen miles of the summit lake al
Panama. The latter is much freer
navigation than the former, but it
must not be forgotten that the distance
must be made thru buoyed channel
more or less sinuous. The detention
from lockage will be much less al
Panama, both because the locks are
fewer and because there is less loss OF
time by reason of taking three lifts in
sequence. The total time required To
