fChicngO Inter Ocean

Senator Marcus A. Hanna Is telling
United States senators that free trade
with Porto Rico will iriure the Republi-
can party with the working people of the
United States. Whether Mr.. Hanna
makes this statement in good faith or not
1t is impossible at this distance to say.
However, If Mr. Hanna and his associate
senators wish to know what Is really in
juring the Republican party, not only
with the working people of the United
States, but all the rest of the people, at
the present moment, we can tell them.
1t Is the purpose on the part OF Repub-
licsns in Washington to repudiate this
nations pledges to Porto Rico. 1t Is
their effort to violate the faith pledged
by the president of the United States and
his representatives to the island. 1t is
the attempt to force the Porto Ricans
under an imperialistic yoke, to make of
them warming example" TO other
peoples who may seek to enjoy the bless
ing of American government. 1t Is the
endeavor to defeat the expansion policy
which came to this nation at the cost of
a foreign war, and to cut from under the
r, publican party and the American ma
ton the ground on which they have
stood ever since the destruction of the
Maine. And, finally, it is the daily evil
dence from Washington that, In all this,
representatives of the Republican party
and most conspicuously Mr.. Hanna him
self-are dominated by lobby which is
maintained in Washington solely to Sc
cure legislation for the tobacco and
sugar interests at the expense of the
American people.

Ia thi: ex'inguishnent Of the sovereignty
Il an heroic people, who had gone out
into the African wilderness seeking free
dom to live their lives In their own way
and worship God after their own con.
sciences precisely as our own fore

unfriendliness to Great Britain which is
leading the American press to discuss
the fall of Bloemfontein With a Soberness
closely akin TO regret.
The fate of the Orarge Free State APP
peals powerfully to the American sense
of chvalry. President Steyn and his
people were not concerned in the
Transvaal troubles. They had no quar-
could have kept the peace and stayed at

tv, their independence. They went into
thi, war as loyal friend might go to
the help of neighbor who was about
to be destroyed by an overwhelming an
tagonist. They did this with II sober,
Puritan like sense of duty, and a strong
emotion of race notwithstanding
full well that the first and heaviest
blows would fall upon their country, and
that the end could be only the loss of all
that they held most dear AS patriots.

FRIDAY, MARCH %, 1900.

Gold is not the only product of the
Alaskan soil. The secretary of agricul-
ture for some time has been investigat-
ing the possibilities of the soil in the
line of growing cereals and vegetables.
and phenomenal success is reported.
Newspaper accounts some time ago
mentioned the fortune made by one man
at Chilkoot by raising and selling vege-
tables to ingoing and outcoming miners.
Nature has provided for the shortness of
the warm season, and all vegetation grows
and natures very rapidly. In the case
of vegetables the rapid growth is said to
give them flavor unknown in our slow
growing climate. This rapid growth
might be considered an advantage by a
lazy man who dslikes cultlvating and
wedding; but here again nature steps in
and provides an offset in the shape of
hordes of voracious mosquitoe which
make garden work very interesting and
exciting.

1t will puzzle Americans to explain the
attitude of resentment taken by many
English newspapers on the offer of Pres
ldent Mckinley of The good offices OF
this country to bring an end to the war
in South Africa. His proffer certainly
was couched in much milder terms than
that assumed by the representatives of
Europe. with Lord Pauncefote at their
head, when they undertook to stave Oft
the Spanish-American war, and President
McKinley's act had the sanction-if not
the compulson-of the peace articles
adopted at The Hague last summer. The
only pity is, great pity is that 1t wasn't
made much stronger, couched in such
words as to show that the Great Repub-
lie was willing to Join with the great
powers of Europe in insisting that the
autonomy of the Boer republics should
be preserved. But for the unfortunate
fact that our present administration is
largely under the influence of probing
lish feeling this would have been DONE
and it may be done yet.

which he ought 70 give an answer as

compromise. If 1t he true that the presi-

his policy, and has reluctantly become
an advocate of 10 per cent tariff in
order to unite his party, he has made
most serious pc itical mistake. Cues

compromise questions of principle are
not. 1t is the Widespread and growing
