"Plain Duty" Must Prevail.

The Philadelphia North American,
commenting upon the opinion of
President Schurman of Cornell uni
versity concerning our PLAN duty in
Puerto Rico, says:
1t is his judgment that the Ameri-
can people will not tolerate any palter-
ing with solemn obligations The
Puerto Rican question has Stirred 10
the depths the national heart and con-
science, and legislation inspired by
breach of good faith will bring a terri
bic Nemesis,
This is Prof. Schurman's language:
I'VE are bound to this course by SOL
emn promises. The supreme and ire
sistible I.ason for removing all GUS
toms barriers between the United
States and Puerto Rico is the promise
made by Gen. Miles, When first landing
American forces on the island, that the
Puerto Ricans should enjoy the same
rights and immunitias as the people OF
the United States On this understand
ing the Puerto Ricans accepted Amerl-
can sovereignty not only without op-
| position. but with joyful trust ant
confidence. The present issue is sim.
ply this: Shall We rcpudiate, or shall
we fulfill, the national engagements
Shall this great republic break faitl
with the little island of Puerto Rico
Having secured the fruits of Gen
Miles promise, shall we now renounc'
the promise?"
Speaking from the record OF the R
publican party, so far as Ii mas got, W
probably shall renounee eyerythin
the trusts indicate.
