The fact that the taxation with
out representation" OF the people of
Porto Rico, under the present law,
is for only two years, does not any
the less violate principle repug-
nant to all liberty-loving people.
The tea tax of ITS was not
especially burdensome, but our
forefathers refused to submit to it.
A rate OF Is per cent for two years
is only a starter" feeler as it
we're. It is merely to establish a
precedent in the new imperialistic
policy. 1t Is all the President
dared to impose on the eve of the
election.

FEATs OF DARING.
BallOOnist Has a Marrow Escape
and High Diver Hurt.

Henderson, KY, April l5.--About
5000 excursionists gathered Mere
to day to witness three Of the most
daring teats ever performed in this
section. George Slackey walked a
high wire that was attached to the
bridge superstructure, carrying a
man on his back. Fred LOOMS
made a balloon ascension suspended
only by the neck. When at a great
altitude the parachute became en-
tangled, and, the hot air becoming
exhausted, he descended rapidly,
landing directly on the bridge about
midway the river. AS if by a
miracle the man escaped with only
slight bruises. Matthew Gray
turned back somersault from the
channel span of the bridge and
came within an ace of losing his
life, being dragged from the river
in an insensible condition. The
plucky little fellow had fractured
one of the bones of his right forearm
in making a leap from the top OF
the Cairo bridge last week, and in
trying to protect this arm, which
was bound in splints, he lost con-
troll and struck the water with his
right side. Gray says he is unin-
jured, excepting his arm, but it is
thought he has sustained internal
injuries.
