More Intimate Business Relations.

VIM. P. Walsh Editsr Ecu Claire Telegram,
in the Milwaukee Journal
There ought to be much closer
commercial and a much closer social
relation between Milwaukee and
northern Wisconsin, There would
be but little of the one or the other,
compared with the degree of COM
|mcrcial and social amnity between
large portion of northern Wisconsin
and Minnesota's twin cities, were it
mot for political ties which necessar-
lily unite in many common interests
all the sections Of this great conn
monwealth. Milwaukee can increase
her trade in this section of the state
by using ali the influences which
superior products, energetic meth
DDS and favorable freight rates can,
bring to bear | believe this pro-
motion OF more intimate and extern
sive business relations, which 1t
seems to be your plan to inaugurate,
must precede and will produce the
other features which will make a
strong community of feeling, and
that while northern Wisconsin per-
haps can be helped" more from
within than without, strong intel
lectual influences Of great value will
follow the extension of Milwaukee's
commercial domain i'll our direction.
Yours very truly.

The Growth of the English Language

1t is against all reason to expect
these strange people to adapt them
selves at once to American methods
and it is certainly problematical if
the Americans will try to become
acclimated in their habits. Our
people consider themselves the finest
products of human civilization, and
when we take charge of a new popu-
lation it is not to learn its language
or to adopt it's habits, but to grad
ually make it recognize our own
merits and to try as much as possible
to become like our own selves. Of
course, all this means an enormous
increase in the spread of the English
language, and if any one wants to
measure the century there is no bet
tor. way than to take the fact that
whereas one hundred years ago the
Spanish language outnumbered the
English more than six millions, to-
day the English surpasses the Span
ish by nearly three to one.- Satuc>

The Bill Carries Out the Presidents
WERE PAYING DlNGLEY RATES.

WASHINGTON, March S-A member OF
the Cabinet Tonight gave out the follow
ing authoritative statement:
There has been wide misapprehension
of the Porto Rico tariR bill, OF the atti-
tude of the President, Of the action Of
Congress and their relations to each
other. The criticism and the concern,
which have come from some well-meaning
quarters, are due almost entirely to
misunderstanding OF the real facts.
The attempt to represent that there
has been disagreement between the
President and Congress is wholly un-
founded There has been no essential DIFF
ferences between them. Both have sought
the same object The recommendation OF
the President and the House bill In their
purpose and their effect, some to the same
sustains the other.
THE President In his annual message
of December, urged that the customs
duties on trade between Porto Rico and
the United States be removed Imports
from Porto Rico into the United States
have been and are now paying the Ding
ley rates and have no preference over
goods from any foreign country. The
PRESIDENT felt that Porto Rico should be
relieved of this burden. He urged that
it should be removed. not as a matter OF
legal right. but or liberal and humane
public policy.
NEVER WAvEEED.
What he proposed was that the United
States should offer the largest and most
generous measure of help to the dis
tressed and suffering island. and he has
never .wavered a single instant in the
object he sought.
when the time came for action in
Congress two tendencies were seen. On
the one hand there were good men and
some business and agricultural interests
that. while not obiect.ns or little object
ing to free trade with Porto kico alone.
feared that free trade with Porto Rico
would be made q precedent for frco
trade with the Philippines.
ION rfe other hand, what the Presi-
dent proposed as a worthy act of ma
tional generosity and liberal policy was
seized by political opponents ard claimed
as a necessary and inevitable measure OF
Inherent constitutional right. They In
sisted that the Constitution by its own
force extends to Porto Rico and spreads
all its provisions over them. Including
uniform taxation. They were eager to
commit Republican Congress to the
adoption OF free trade with Porto Rico.
not as q measure of generous expedf-
ency. but as they coAld claim that itE,had
riyeted q hard and fast principle which
would tie the hands of the government
everywhere In the philippines as well as
in Porto Rico. It was o cunning game,
but 1t did not succeed.
There was another point which was
not generally understood The bill pro-
vides that the whole amount of duties
on goods coming from Porto Rico shall
be paid back to Porto Rico for the benefit
OF the island"

ing that the courtesies of that road would

Hutchinson. general manager OF the Penn

party: down the river on an inspection,
which would be extended to Norfolk and
Old Point, otopping at jamestown and
possibly other historic points along the

the Hygeia had been arranged.
Mr.. Ebel suggested that as the joint
special committee was SO large it would
be well to appoint subcommittee who
could take in charge all details incident
to the reception of the city's guests and
make all necessary arrangements. He
thereupon moved that subcommittee
of eight, including the chairman Of the

duty it shall be to take in charge all ar
