days to imagine that some great conspiracy or
syndicate of iobbers aud spectators has big

in this country would be appreciably affected in
price by imposition or removal Of a ID per cent
tax on the small quantity that Puerto Rico has
to spare. There is not much dignity or good
sense in imagining corrupt motives behind
matter of so little consequence The question
that is of large importance-whether Puerto
Rico shall be subject to the same tariff and in
ternal laws as govern within United States or
to laws devised by Congress for the benefit Of
the island-might be more intelligently dis

NOT FOR PROTECTION.

If ii We're possible for our free trade neigh
bors to consider with minds not blinded with
prejudice any question affecting tariff of any
sort, they surely might SO regard the question
of duties on imports from Puerto Rico. Re-
peatedly it has been shown by this journal that
such duties would be OF no consequence what
from protective point Of view. Competi-
ton from that island would not in the least
affect any industry which it has been the object
of protective duties TO defend and develop.
Would it not be more sane and sweetly reason
able in the discussion Of such duties TO recog-
nize the fact and give ii all the weight to
which il is fairly entitled? For in that case the
opposition might be led TO offer some rea soning
adapted TO the facts actually existing and pos
sibly some entitled 10 influence AS it is they
are with some heat. and not too much decorum
ascribing 10 leading Republicans motives which
do not exist.
1t has many times been stated by The Trib-
une that, except with respect to the political
relations of the inhabitants of Puerto Rico and
other possessions II made no difference to this
country whether higher duties lower duties or
no duties were imposed products imported
from them. If men would but open their minds
10 truth they would see that the President has
repeatedly taken the position respecting
Puerto Rico. He is willing to have duties on
right and power Of Congress TO impose duties on
imports from that and other possessions shall
be maintained. So nearly all Republicans In
either House of Congress have shown entire
Willingness to have the duties imports from
Puerto Rico dropped the instant the people of
the island express preference for some other
mode of taxation. Unlike all other duties on
imports this is proposed only to raise revenue
for the government of the country from which
the imports come. That they are not prepared
for internal taxation, and would be far more
heavily burdened if treated as within the United
States and obliged TO pay the internal taxes in
force in this country, all testify who have
knowledge of the subject.
The root Of the matter is that some persons
have never considered whether Inhabitants OF
Puerto Rico ought 10 have part in the govern
ment of this country. If the island becomes
territory by act OF Congress. with territorial
government and delegate in Congress, and the
prospecf Of Statehood. it also becomes subject to
The revenue laws regarding the manufacture
and sale of tobacco and spirits. IL not, the peo-
ple remain outside the Union for purposes OF
taxation and government, and without special
enactment by Congress their products sent
lifher would have 10 bear the same duties that
are imposed on similar products from other
countries What Republicans in Congress pro-
nose is TO reduce the rate and turn over the
proceeds. whether paid by people Of the United
States or nos. toward the cost of building up and
developing the island of Puerto Rico. The only
alternative is that the people Of the island shall
bear that cost themselves. raising IL by taxes

UNFAIR TO MR.. DEVERT.

So Devery must go?
And why. pray? Oh. because gambling dens
have been running wide open (on payment OF
the political tax and all kinds OF illegal resorts
have f1ourished under police protection And
for permitting or conniving at this condition It's
said now that William S. Devery must cease to
be Chief of New-York's police force. How un-
reasonable people are. to be sure! To assert
that anybody expected the Hon. Mr.. Devery TO
do otherwise than he has done would be TO
monkey recklessly with the truth.
Deyery was no stranger to the deniZens of
this baliwick when the high, mighty and strict
ly moral Police Commissioners put him at the
head of the local constabulary. His tenderness
of heart toward those who sought to earn dis
honest penny through the medium of poolrooms
and other institutions conducted in violation of
the law was known of all men. His personal
friendship for well known gamblers was no
secret. And his whole record and antecedents
gave ample guarantee that he would do pre-
cisely what he has done.
Considering these things, the honorable and
distinguished gentleman has reasonable justif-
cation for his surprise at the present outcry
against him. He argues-and logically too
that he was made Chief of Police because of his
precepts and practices as to the manner Of en-
forcing not enforcing the laws The Police
Commissioners were perfectly familiar with
these precepts and practices. Indeed, it was gem
orally assumed that they had selected Mr. Dew
cry on account of this knowledge, because no.
body ever able to discover any other reason.
Having fulfilled with exactitude the expecta-
tions formed at the time of his appointment
Devery is naturally puzzled to know why he
should be punished now.
Gentlemen. let us be fair and reasonable. If
elect Tammany administration on the ITO
He'll with Reform platform, and the Police
Commissioners of that administration choose a
Police Chief in thorough accord with the slogan
are we to expect him to be recreant to his polit
ical creators and their interests? The question
answers itself.

DEATH OF RUDOLPH LOssIUs
Dies Suddenly In Denver of Pneu-
monia--Editor of the North
Fork Times at Hotchkiss,

The editor OF The Sentinel was in re-
ing the death in Denver Of Rudolph Los
sius, we'll known in this city and for the
past several years editor OF the North
Fork Times, at Hotchkiss.
The telegram gave no particulars Of
his death, but asked for some informa-
ton in regard to him. 1t is only few
days ago that he wrote to the editor Of
this paper asking that announcement be
made in The Sentinel Of the rates for the
meeting OF the Old Veterans association
of the Western slope at Hotchkiss today
and tomorrow He said then 10 that
letter that ne would be IN Grand juno
ton tooay, enroute to his homo at
Hotchkiss
The deceased has wide circle OF &C.
quaintanc, among Colorado people.
When he first arrived IN this city six or
seven years ago he devoted his time en-
tirely to the insurance business. He
at the Brunswick hotel and went from
here to various points in the San Juan
and on the line of the broad guage Of the
Rio Grande. He was Of very genial
disposition and made many friends.
Rudolph Lossius was very large man,
reaching probably heighth Of six feet
four or five inches. Upon the question
Of his heighth he was very tender and
seemed to believe that it made him an
obj ct Of curiosity. He was quite good
writer and had quilt up the North Fork
Times to be quite paper, having wide
circle of influence. He established that
paper several years ago with Charles e.
Woods, brother in law of Mr.. Frank
Leslie, OF this city and afterwards pur
chased the entire interest.
Very lately he erected a commodious
building for the home Of the Times at
Hotchkiss and prosperity seemed to be
right in front OF him. The deceased
has a large circle Of warm friends in this
city who will hear OF his death with re-
gret. Noparticulsrs could bs obtained
today. although dispatch was sent to
Denver for them. He had been suffer.
ing lately with stomach trouble and this
may have been one OF the causes Of his
death. 1t is known that his death oc-

More of Republican Convention

Time did not permit an extended re-
port of the republican county conven-
ton in yesterdays issue.
As was stated yesterday the conven-
tion seemed to be cut and dried affair
and there was very little enthusiasm. 1t
WAS apparent to the onlooker that the
candidates had all been agreed on be-
fore the convention by the leaders OF the
party in this city, 30 that the country
delegates were not on to the slate which
had been made up. Mess. Caswell and
Price and few other town people had
the matter all made ready for the coun-
try delegates to swallow.
An attempt was made to sidetrack the
slate, but it was too late L. N. Farmer
ono OF the staunch farmers OF Hannah
Creek was nominated by the country
delegates as their candidate for the Of
foe OF representative, and it seemed for
time as il the delegates would like to
nominate him, but he was sidetracked
through several little speeches made by
Mr.. Caswell's lieutenants Mess. G. j.
Carpenter and George Armstrong.
In the opinion OF many Mr.. Farmer
wonld have made the stronger race.
While Mr.. Brown is popular among the
railway people. he is not strong with the
farming community. Farmer has lived
here for years and is we'll known.
The unanimous nominee OF the con-
vention for commissioner was Frank Col
line, OF Rhone, we'll known and popu-
lar citizen. In seconding his nomina.
ton M Heron made an attack upon
James U. Harris for the manner in
which he kept his farm.
1t was about the tamest convention
held in the county for years. The slate
was nominated and that's all there was
to it. Some Of the country delegates
did not know why they were voting for
Brown for representative against Far
mer, only that the word had gone out
from Mr.. Wolcott that the candidate
should be Lem B. Brown and through
Mr.. Caswell, who controlled the conven-
ton entirely, as il he Lad all the dele
gates in his pocket, tho nomination was
made. Tho ticket will be defeated.

KEMP G. COOPER DEAD.
Former Manager Of the Denver
Republican Dies Quite Sud-
denly at His Home.

Denver, Sept. 27-Kemp G Cooper,
for eighteen years the manager Of the
Denver Republican and prominent in
Denver business and social circles, died
at his home, No. 1900 East Colfax avenue
last night.
While not wholly unexpected, his
death came suddenly. MIR. Cooper had
been suffering with Bright's disease and
his physician had warned the family
that death might como at any time.
Yesterday afternoon Mr.. Cooper felt
as we'll as usual and his old friend and
partner in mining ventures. F. R. Welt
breck called to SEQ him. Mr.. Cooper
was then expecting the arrival OF his
daughter from Kansas City.
A few hours later Weitbrec called
again and was told that Mr. Cooper was
dying.
The seizure came suddenly about 6:3O
o'clock Mr.. Cooper complained that
his hands we're cold and was shortly
seized with spasm. Others followed in
rapid succession and he lapsed into un-
consciousness
Doc tors Freeman and Van Zandt were
called, but their remedies we're powerless
against the poison which had permeated
to every part of his system. At $50
o'clock he died.
K. G. Cooper was born in Bellefon-
taipe. Ohio, October 8, 1888, and
would therefore have been 81 years old
in few days. e.moved from Ohio to
Jefferson City, Mo-, about 1860, and en-
gagged in the printing and publishing
business, but later became Interested in
a bank.
In December, 1871. he made his first
trip to Denver, not with any intention OF
locating but to enjoy rest and change
of climate. He was accompanied by his
wife and two children, and stayed about
six months. In 1875 he came to Denver
to live.
Shortly after his arrival he bought the
Rocky Mountain News but later sold
the paper to William Love!and. In 1871
he accepted the position OF business
manager of the Republican. Mr.. Cooper
continued as manager OF the paper until
1899 when he retired from the active du
ties of the Office and was elected pres-
dent OF the company with a general sup
ervision over its affairs.
Only few months ago Mr.. Cooper
disposed Of his interest in the paper thus
.severing the connection which had last
