No Wrangling.

There is great deal of looseness of
expression in the references to the
Porto Rican tariff bill now before Con-
gress. Even Speaker Henderson and
Senator Proctor refer to the rate of
duty proposed as fifteen per cent of the
value of the products. On the contrary
the rate is fifteen per cent of the Ding
ley duties. If 100 pounds of raw Porto
Rican sugar is worth $500, and the
Dingley tariff on raw sugar is ten per cent,
100 pounds of sugar would pay duty of
thirty cents. The bill now before Con-
gress proposes to lay tax of fifteen
per cent of this duty, or four and one
half cents on 100 pounds of sugar, and
use the money entirely for the benefit
of the people of Porto Rico. 1t pro-

Victoria in ireland.

Had Queen Victoria's visit to Ireland
been made at almost any other time
during the two score years since the
royal feet last trod the Emerald Isle,
the entire disinterestednes of the func-
ton, its singleness of purpose, would
be much less matter of question or
cavil. During this long period the
Queen has been a yearly visitor to Scot
land, she has gone often to the CONT
nent on missions of politics, or cere-
mony, or for health and pleasure, but
Ireland has ever had the marble heart.
In its miseries, in famine and dis
tress, the wretched entail of wretched
laws made by Englishmen, the impov-
erishing consequences of landlordism,
Ireland has been fed by the United
States and her children have come to
these shores in colonies, seeking food
and refuge from English misrule. Ire
lands patriots have been hanged, ex-
lied, imprisoned, because they loved
their green island and resisted British
misrule and tyranny. AT time when
the royal presence in Ireland would
have been pledge of Christians in
terest in her welfare, of sincere de-
sire and purpose to reform the evils
under which 1rishmen were impover-
ished and starving, the Queen withheld
the light of her countenance from her
distressed Irish subjects, and England,
instead of feeding the furnishing and
reforming oppressive laws and customs,
was changing men and women for the
wearing of the green"
A visit TO Ireland occasionally in the
past, with wisdom and humanity
wrought into the laws Englishmen
were making for Ireland and the
treatment she was melting out to Irish
men, would have saved the Queen the
need of going there at this time of her
advanced age, bowed with the infirm-
tiles of four-score years. The present
ceremony is purely one of policy. Eng
land is menaced by perils from CONT
mental Europe. Ireland is England's
vulnerable point, and Ireland's natural
defenders are Irishmen. With the
loyalty of the people of Ireland assured
England could entrust the defense of
the island to Irishmen. There is some
thing verging on the pathetic, as well
as on the melodramatic, in this tour of
the aged sovereign into "the enemy's
country" There will be parades and
demonstrations, the Queen will be well
coined with an ELUSIVE show of loyal
ty, but time will show if the popular
hatred of England has undergone any
material change.

Some of the contemporaries and
newspaper correspondents are declar-
ing with much emphasis and with per-
fervid eloquence that the opinion of
the people of Vermont is oil on the
side of the Republican minority and
the Democratic majority in Congress in
the matter of immediate and irrevoc-
able free trade with Porto Rico. Four
years ago there WAS similar cock
sureness as to the preference Of "the
people" of Vermont for Thomas B,
Reed, rather than William Mckinley,
as candidate for the presidency, and
on no better grounds. Time showed
that there were false prophets in Yer
mont. T. No man to-day knows that the
Republicans of Vermont are for i'm
mediate free trade with Porto Rico. /
is more likely true, and more reason
able to assume, that the Republicans Of
this State are with the overwhelming
party majority, as expressed by the re
cent votes in Congress.

fever, while the middle States and New
England are normal. In every in
stance in the contests Of parties where
a principle was at issue, the sentiment
of party in one State has been equal
ly pronounced in every State. This
phenomenal localization of interest
compels the conclusion that mere
matter of providing means for carrying
on government and relieving distress
has been exaggerated into an acu G
struggle over fundamental principle
of right, or morals, or both. Senator
Depew, Speech on Monday in United
