in the papers at their breakfast tables,
on Saturday, that they were directly
in the path of the disturbance which
had been working westward over the
Gulf for nearly two days. The danger

the first burst of the gale struck the
city between eight and nine o'clock a.
M Dr. Cline, the chief of the local
weather station, was then at his office.
From that hour until after three o'clock

telephone, who called up every town
and hamlet and all country residents
within reach, informing them that
there were signs of an inundation, and
answered hundreds Of calls for reports
from the city and country, by which
the news was spread on every hand.
The warnings which were sent out by

the approach of the tempest were cor

Galveston and New Orleans and points

An interesting legal battle is likely to
grow out of an incident that recently
took place on a train of the Atchison,
Topeka and Santa Fe railroad. A young
man, twenty-one years old, presented
the return coupon of childs half-rate
ticket for transportation from San
Francisco to Kansas City. He had
bought the ticket eleven years ago, it
was unlimited as to time, and he claim
ed the right to use the ticket on his re-
turn trip. The railroad officials, on the
other hand argued that as it was a
half-rate ticket good for a child under
twelve years of age, he, a man of TWEEN
ty-one, could not ride on it. The con-
tract on the back Of the ticket did not
specify that the child was to stop grow
ing, however, and now the question is,
Can the young man compel the railroad
to carry him on that ticket?

SENATOR TELLER'S IMPERIAL
ISM.

Senator Teller made a speech in the
Senate last week which will give cold
comfort TO the anti-imperialists. Mr..
Teller is old enough to remember the
days before the war. when the Demo-
Gratis Were eontending that the consti-
tution-slavery and all-extended It.
self, of its own power. over the terri
tories; and he made up his mind then
that 1t does NO such thing; and he is
consistent with his own belief, formed
In that early day.
Mr.. Teller declared he could find
ample authority for legislation relat-
ing to our insular possessions, author
ity not derived from the constitution.
"And l do not believe" said Mr..
Teller, "that the constitution Is in
force In our new possessions, Con-
gress. | believe, is supreme as far us

ArEMPesr IN A TEA POT.

The Democrat members In Congress
who have been shouting themselves
black in the fact about the "infamy" OF
imposing a tariff on Puerto Rico got a
setback from their ally, Senator Tel
Ter, last week. But they will have n
bigger one from the common sense of
the people. The whole matter of the
Puerto Rican tnrin is question OF ex-
pediency. The people of the Island
need money Is 1t better to appropriate
from the treasury of the United States;
to allow the issue OF Puerto Rican
bonds, or to impose n slight tariff, NIL
the proceeds of which go to the benefit
of the island.
The Congress is perfectly competent
to do my one OF these three things; the
question Is, which of the three Is the
wisest way to raise the money.
Suppose the Republicans had pro-
posed to make an appropriation from
the treasury, what howls we should
have heard about "looting the treas
ury" for the benefit of an island which
the Republicans had said was one of
the richest Of the Antilles.
Suppose the Republicans had brought
In bill to issue bonds for Puerto Rico,
or allowing bonds to be Issued In the
name Of the island. what an awful
rumpus the Democrats would have
raised about the handing over of this
new possession of ours to the money
trust, and fastening upon 1t In It's birth
the tentacles Of the octopusl
1t may be that the present bill will
be amended In the Senate-there Is
room for difference Of opinion as to the
expediency of the proposed method Of
raising revenue, and one Of the other
two ways may be considered better;
but whichever plan the Republicans
finally adopt will be denounced by the
Democrats as the worst possible.
To be Democrat, 1t Is not necessary
to think. Let the Republicans do the
thinking. and then object to whatever
they propose-that is the Democratic
program, now and always.
The Elbert County tribune., 1900-03-22

AFTER careful examination OF ali
Supreme Court authority have been
able to ind only one case that VIII
support the doctrine that the consti-
tuition goes Of its own vigor into -
acquired territory. -
my own belief Is thst - 'thh make
the acquired .territ6sfes part Of the
United States or not, as Congress may
see Mt. II we do not make them part
OF the United States believe we may
hold them as colonies-that we have
the same power to hold them as Great
Britain has to hold colonial posses
sions."
Mr.. Teller did not believe that It was
necessary to make the acquired terri
tory a part of the United States In the
sense that 1t could be regarded and
governed as incipient states of the
Union. Puerto Rico, he thought might
be held under the sovereignty Of the
United States. and the people. subject
to our dictation, might make the laws
of the land and the United States
might determine what the Inhabitants
should or should not do. He found no
legal difficulty in dealing either with
the acquired possessions or their in
habItants.
I'VE do not want TO make Puerto
Rico and the Philippines part Of the
United States, and do not want to
make their inhabitants citizens OF the
United States" said Mr.. Teller.
He added that the relation that he
would establish between the United
States and the acquired territory was
entirely consistent with the history
and traditions and principles Of this
country. II he had time, he believed
that he could prove that the fathers of
the country contemplated the acquis-
ition and the holding Of colonies by the
United States.
Thus. on the main principles involved
in the bill, Mr.. Teller is In line with the
Republican party. He opposes the
pending bill. not because 1t Is too "im-
perlalIstic," but because II is not i'm
perialIstic enough. lie objects TO the
use In II of the word ''citizens," In re-
ferring to the inhabitants of Puerto
Rico, and he objects to uny action that
Will tend in the least degree toward
making Puerto Rico either territory,
In the sense In which New Mexico and
Arizona are territories, or a state OF
the Union.
On the general question of imperial
ISM there is no doubt that Mr.. Teller
represents the opinion of the great ma
jority OF his constituents and that Mr..
Bell and Mr.. shafroth do not represent
that sentiment.

1t is to be regretted that such emf
nent statesmen and constitutional law
yers as Representatives Shafroth and
Bell of Colorado should hold to views
so radically different from those ex-
pressed by Senator Teller.
They certainly do not represent the
convictions of their constituents upon
the question of expansion, for Colorado
people are intelligent and studlous
and, above all, progressive.
Our people have no patience with, or
use for. national public servants who
are only too willing to stultify them In
the eyes Of the balance Of the world or
to cast slurs upon their patriotism and
intelligence In n pure effort to serve
their political ambitions by advocating
the narrow policy Of party which
they are too cowardly to repudlate and
too wise to join.-Colorado Springs Ga

There il ordinarily no concert Of
action among state legislatures. New
erthslcss similar conditions produce
similar results; and comparison of
the more important laws enacted in
the several states makes It possible to
trace certain controlling influences. and
to ascertain what ideas are uppermost
In the minds Of Legislators. The place
which the trust Issue, for erample.
holds in the public mind Ia shown by
the fact that twenty-nine states and
territories now have laws which are
intended to restrict or prohibit trusts.
Nine OF the laws were enacted last
year: those OF Arkansas. Michigan.
Missouri and Texas were especially
stringent.
