SOME ARE ASHAMED.

The Bulleton quotes, approvingly, an
ex.member OF the Porto Rico commission
as saying:
"No American need feel ashamed Of
the course which the United States has
pursued in dealing with Porto Rico"
For an ex-carpet Dagger, most likely
with his hand outstretched toward the
administration for another position, a
statement like this is not much to be
wondered at. That it should he APPROX
ingly quoted by the Bulletin. or any other
paper. was hardly to be expected in view
of the number OF eminent Americans who
have gone on record as heartily ashamed
of the departure OF the administration
from the path Of it's "plain duty" in deal
ing with people who welcomed our flag
to their shores.
The chances are that even Chas. E.
Buell., ex-secretary OF the U. S. special
commission to Porto Rico, or those who
quote him, will not call the Americanism
OF the following distinguished gentlemen
into question:
Ex-President Harrison-I regard the
bill (the Porto Rican tariff as a most
serious departure from the right prin-
ciples.
Ex.Speaker Reed-The attempt to
make three.quarter citizens out Of the
Porto Ricans is certainly original.
Ex-senator Edmunds-I believe that
the Porto Rican tariff bill is clearly UNI
constitutional and violates all our agree.

Ricans. If we're in the senate should
certainly vote against it.
Senator Hoar-A d ,ty on exports is
forbidden by the constitution, and the
proposed duty OF Is per cent on goods
from the United States aud Porto Rico
would be violation OF that prohibition.
Senator Knute Nelson-I have intro
duced and shall demand vote upon and
vote for an amendment providing for free
trade for Porto Rico. l believe it will
pass the senate. am also in favor of
giving the island civil government, and

Relfeld Proctor, Vermont-All the re-
publirans Of my state are for free trade
for Porto Rico. Every republican editor
in Vermont is against the Is per cent
tariff. intend to vote for the Nelson
amendment providing for free trade be-
tween this country and Porto Rico.
General Lew Wallace is outspoken in
his denunciation Of the Porto Rican tariff
bill-The people Of the United States can.
not be hoodwinked into believing that
when the nation acquires territory, the
constitution does not at once extend to it.
have viewed this Porto Rican measure
with profound establishment and sorrow,
and have no hesitancy in denouncing it
as a high-handed outrage in the interest
OF the trusts and against the interest of
the people OF this country.

ANOTHER HERETO.

Chicago has another "hercsy' case.
For two days the directors OF the
Theological Seminary considered the
charges brought against Professor
George H. Gilbert After that length
OF time they reached the decision that
the professor must 90 into exile" for
twelve months. retaining his salary.
During this time he must write a book
showing that things he has written in
other books DO not mean what they

virtue has been misunderstood by the
dignitaries Of his creed Unless with
in year Professor Gilbert can salts
fy the directors Of the harmlessness Of
his views he must sever his connection

According to the account Of this case,
Professor Gllbert's opinion is prac-
tically this, that the pre-existence Of
Jesus and the union OF Christ with the
Father are not taught so fully and de-
nnitely by the words OF Jesus that be-
lief in them should be made test Of
Christian belief.

in the Gospels. Is n necessary test Of

ENTERTAINMENT IN CUBA.

A case Of embozzlement in Cuba Is
attracting much attention. chiefly be-
cause IL had been supposed that during
Uncle SANS temporary control Of az
fairs there, none but honest and true
representatives, Of American govern
ment would be appointed.
It seems that the war department has
caused the arrest Of the official charged
with the defalcatlon, which may
amount to 100000, OF more. About
year ago the director OF the Cuban
postofices introduced series Of new
stamps. There were over slO0. 900 worth
Of the old series on hand. Mr.. Neeley.
the postal treasurer, was ordered TO
destroy the old series, but from the
moment that the new series was intro.
duced, there was decrease in the re-
ceipts for the sale Of stamps. amount
ing 70 $4,000 a month. This led to the
investigation, and the discovery Of
fraud.
During Spanish rule defalcatlons
We're common enough. IL rmors are
to be trusted In fact. favorltes OF the
government were given colonial APP
pointmeuts with the tacit understand
ing, perhaps, that by robbing the peo-
pie they were TO make up for what was
lacking in the salary The robbery was
openly committed. and in lnnumerable
ways. one Of the points aimed az IN
our mission to the former Spanish pos
sessions was the establishment Of an
honest government. For this reason 1t
is deplorable when the aim IS missed.
However as long as evll-doers are
brought TO justice, there can be no
cause for complaint. lis will be
grand demonstration OF the difference
between honest government and a cor
rupt administration.
It is generally admitted that the ap-
pointments so far made both In the
Philippines. Cuba. and Porto Rico have
been admirable. In the higher POSI-
lions there Is not one that would stoop
20 the measures adopted by some OF
their Spanish predecessors. bat there
will always be a chance for the un-
scrupulous element TO find representa-
