Protests against the measure are CONF
ing in from farmers, wage workers and
merchants. Militarism is not popular
with the people-who have to foot the
bills. And the disclosures in the Occur
D'Arene investigation are stirring up
considerable apprehension in the coun-
try as to the advisability of heavily tax
ing the people to support a big military
force which may possibly be used at
home to take away all rights of citi-
Zens.
The Porto Rican Tariff.
The house has fair prospect of get
ting another vote on the Porto Rican
tariff. The senate shows every dispo-
sition to pass government bill with
tariff amendment instead of the tariff
measure passed by the house. The SEN
ate free trade insurgents" even init
mate that they will now vote for the
Foraker bill and give their colleagues
in the house a chance to send back
free trade measure if they choose. The
whole fight discrepancies the republican
forces more and more each day. The
one thing thai the republicans cling to
with great pertinacity is that they will
not concede that Porto Rico is a part
of the United States and entitled to the
protection of the constitution. In the
words of Senator Foraker, the unfor-
tunate people of that island are s'citi-
zens of Porto Rico and entitled to the
protection of the United States
That means whatever measure of pro-
lection trust-controlled republican
congress chooses to give.
The Occur D'Alene Troubles.
The investigation of the Occur
d'Alene mining troubles is becoming a
matter of national interest. Represent
ative Dick, with the republican major
ity of the military affairs committee, is
conducting the investigation in a most
partisan and unfair manner. But he
cannot cohceal the fact that the mill
tary and the administration are re-
sponsible for the permit" system,
which is in violation of all rights OF
citizenship.

Mckinley PIutOcrats,


Behind Mr.. Mckinley is q combina-
ton of men who are the products and
defenders of the republican socialism,
not one of whom is in politics to be
president, but all of whom want to pc
next to the president, and feel that
they must win. They believe in money,
for gaining business or social or po-
litical ends. They are the ''plutocrats,"
the money power who had nearly
100000 of enemies in 1896, and who
would have had more if the nature
of the issue of that year had not united
all property interests, those who be-
lieve in government for private gain
and those who hold that government
should consider merely the public well
fare.-Henry LOOMS Nelson, in Allan
tic.

An exchange says eff Mr.. NJ

An exchange says IF Mr.. Nc
Kinley has the courage of his convic-
tons he will either veto or refuse to
sign the Porto Rican tariff BILL" There
comes the old question: What are Mr..
McKinley's convictions? The president
in his annual message advised free
trade with Porto Rico. He emphasized
this as a plain duty. Then came the
bill to impose 25 per cent. of the Ding
ley duties, afterward amended so as to
make it Is per cent. forEtwo years. It
was assumed that the leaders in the
house and the president were at cross
purposes; but 10, the leaders were sent
for and left the white house with the
word that the bill must pass. The pres
ident whipped the recalcitrants into
opposition to his own message. What
can the senate do for such a man?1Cin-
cinnati Enquirer.

An Amazing Instance of Republican
Subservience to British
Interests.

Even the Davis amendment to the
Hay-Pauncefote treaty does not fully
protect the interests of the United
States in the Nicaragua canal, which
we are to build at our own expense,
and it is significant fact that so small
a concession made to the American
sen timent which believes that the canal
we build we should protect is antag-
oniZed by all the administration forces.
Senator Davis amendment simply
provides that in time of war the
United States may land troops, throw
up earthworks and other temporary
Notifications, blockade the canal, and
use it as means of national defense.
But when war is begun it is too late to
do these things, and the treaty, even
as amended by Senator Davis, still de-
mics too the United States the right
to erect permanent Notifications at
either end of the canal which we are
to dig at an expense which will prob
ably not fall short of 5000, 100000. 1t
is complete surrender to Great Brit
ain. 1t is virtual admission that eX-
cept by conceding to the British a
voice in the matter we cannot do as we
choose on our own continent, even
with the complete consent of a nation
in whose territory we propose to OPP
crate. There is only one more incident
in the long record of republican sub
servience to British interests, but per-
haps it is the most amazing, the most
incomprehensible, the most execrable
of all

The London Spectator avails itself
of the opportunity afforded by the
present moral crusade in New York
to preach sermon on the dangers of
spasmodic virtue. It thinks there is
more hope of the serious criminal

tai who, in New Testament language,
must be renewed again to repent
ance.' From the chief of sinners the

Keep Young children Out of School.

The writer in the Journal of Edu-
cation contends that children are
usually sent to school at too early an
age. Little children four or five
years old should be out of doors nearly
all their waking hours, developing
strong bodies, sturdy constitutions,
and incidentally brain power, so
when they enter the schoolroom they
will have gained power to learn easily,
which is reached only after the child
has arrived at a certain stage of its
development

are the republican protectionists who
