Admissions from a Democrat.

The other day, says the Louisville
Commercial. Eli Perkins was intro
duced to Judge Scott, an old dyed-in-
the wool Kentucky democrat. The
Judge is well known in the Blue Grass
region and the grand old Kentuckian
has always been looked up to as High
Priest of "befg the wah Democracy"
Perkins was introduced by an old
Democrat, and Judge Scott supposed
that Eli was a Democrat, too, and he
became confidential with him at once.
''How are we Democrats getting
along, Judge?" asked Eli, in confiden-
tial tone.
The Judge looked at Eli moment to
see IL he really wanted information
about the party, and slowly remarked:
'Well, sir. we are getting on very
we'll financially, but politically we are
running behind. Yes, I'm afraid we are
running behind"

Il. Sayton, an official of the Department
Of Agriculture, who has recently been
there. says: Whatever capital Is in
vested in the sugar factories, emanat-
Ing at all from island sources, Is purely
Spanish. 1t does not belong to Porto
Rico. The peculiar system maintained
by Spain through all of the business
concerns, and so far as their own capt.
tai was employed, threw everything
into the hands of the Spaniards, who
were simply in Porto Rico doing bust
ness. They do not belong to that ele-
ment Of Porto Ricans that we feel so
tender about, and would not become
citizens Of Porto Rico or this country,
whatever becomes of the constitutional
question. Other factories are owned
and controlled by English capital, 9th
ers by German, and the entire factory
system by Spanish, English and Ger
man
'They agree with the planters or
manufacturers to take their sugar, re-
fine it, and place it on the market, di-
viding the profit on a certain basis, as
is now being done, and as has been
done between the Hawaiian planters
and the sugar trust for years. How
will they divide the profits? Even?
Each getting 371a per cent? We do
not know. Only the parties interested
know This point is clear, however,
and that is that the Porto Ricans are
not benefited. Simply the sugar COM
binations Of this country and the for
eign planters or manufacturers Of
Porto Rico.
Isn't 1t a great deal that we should
have freed the Porto Ricans from
condition as bad as slavery, making
what concession we of right ought to
make, in justice to the people Of this
country, assuring them that after they
had attained the standard that one
ought to have to enjoy the rights and
privileges Of the Constitution of the
country, that then they might be ad-
mitted with equal privileges with the
rest? Do you think this ought to be
before wages are paid in that country
somewhere near in comparison with
wages in this country, or before the
average citizen of that country shall at
least be able to understand the prim-
airy principles Of our government and
institutions? We say no. We should
especially not bring in this great horde
Of cheap laborers who receive less per
day than one person could live on in
this country, and yet they are supposed
to support families on this. We believe
the laborers Of this country will en-
masse resent this proposition.

." Why should not China be free

China decide who shall stay there

MANY democrats in Congress think
it would be better to extend the la w
under which the volunteers are now
serving in the army, for definite
period, than to adopt the republi-
can idea of providing for big re-
gular army, as permanent thing.
They are right Even those who are
most opposed to our present Phil
ip2ine policy are willing to give the
administration authority to enlist
the number of volunteer soldiers
needed, but not willing to have a
permanent enlargement of the re-
gular army.
