A PORTO RICAN LOBBY.
"Mr. President, it has not escaped
public attention that a lobby from Por-
to Rico has been maintained here dur
ing the consideration of the pending
bill. 1t is headed by a British subject
who has been insistent for free trade
between Porto Rico and the United
States, and who is one of the largest
producers of sugar in the island. It is
quite natural that he should desire that
his product should reach the American
market without any duty whatever. We
rest the justification of the pending bill
upon the broad and simple proposition
that it is the duty of congress to pro-
vide revenue for the territory belonging
to it, and to provide it in a just man
ner There is no power save and except
congress which can IegisIate for Porto
Rico. 1t is entirely within the COM
potency of the congress to legislate for
ever for them, but to do so would be in
contravention of the genius of our in
stitutionS and contrary to the wishes of
the congress and the people"
After pointing out that the proposed
tariff shall cease absolutely on March
l. 1902, and that as soon as the Porto
Rican assembly shall have put into OPP
Grafton a system of local taxtaion, the
commerce between the island and the
United States shall be free, Mr.. Fair
banks concluded:
I'VE should consider the subject be-
fore US in no illiberal or dogmatic spirit.
No matter what shades of opinion there
are with respect to the best course to
be pursued and the wisest measures to
be adopted with respect to Porto Rico,
there is perfect unity of purpose among
all parties here to provide the most lib
eral form of government and just laws
under which may be promoted in the
first degree her welfare.
1T is not given to finite mind to read
her future, but we may believe that,
laws and under the impetus-of Ameri-
can example, her people will grow in
knowledge, strength and power and for
ever bless the great republic"

New York, March 31.-With a favorable
bank statement in sight, it is not likely
that the stock market Will develop any
material weakness today. IN facl, there
hence there is no immediate danger OF
prices losing much ground One thing Is
certain, however, namely that the deLnand
for stocks is on the decrease. Operations
are becoming largely professional, as Is
very forcibly demonstrated by the Woe
fluctuations in the specialties in when
this element has always been more or
less active. On very active and lndueil-
tial traders stated last night that We

Ket does not show any unfavorable eIIectS
as a result of this heavy realizing, the
change will be felt when ii becomes
known that stocks are passing from
strong to weak hands. While there ap-
pears to be a general disposition to keep
prices moving upward, no plausible rea-
son is given for the rapid rise IN a num-
Der of non-dividend stocks Anticipated
dividends is the only explanation onereo.
When a bull campaign is on, the specu-
lative public is kept filed up with All
sorts of improbable stories. Just now the
air is filled with rumors of gigantic deals
involving both the industrial and railway
into a trap and slaughtered just as they
have been on many former occasions
Despite the frequent warnings to let the
stock alone, people win continue to risk
their money in it. The stock is con-
trolled by a band of INSCRIPTIONS manip-
ulators who will not hesitate at anything
in order to accomplish their purpose
which is to hold up everybody who med

The Two Romeos.

Joe Jefferson told this story: David
Garrick and Spranger Barry were both
playing Romeo at the same time in
London. Barry played it at Drury
Lane on the Monday and Garrick play
ed 1t the next night at Covent Garden,
and the town was divided as to which
was the greater Romeo-in. fact, there
was quite a great excitement about it,
and they acted it upon such different
lines and with such marvelously differ
ent conceptions that the people argued
the case as to which Shapespeare in
tended The fact is that Shakespeare
intended it to be acted well, and If
one mans temperament suited it best
to act in that way it would do for an
other temperament the other way.
$50 they asked Mrs. Siddons, who
was the Juliet alternately with the
same Romeo, which she considered bet
ter of the two, and she said: Tt is diff
cult to say; they are both wonderfully
great, but l will tell you how they
impress me in the balcony scene. In
the balcony scene Garrick seems so
eager, so intense and so full of fire and
spirit that I'm afraid he'll jump up in
the balcony to me, and Barry is so low
able and fascinating that I'm afraid /
shall have to jump down from the bal
cOnV to him.

THE REPORTERS METHODS.
Harled Difference From Those of the

Marked Difference From Those of the
Orator, Preacher and Novelist.
Probably not one reader in hundred
has paused to notice that a newspaper
article is written on a plan just the re-
verse of that of a sermon or grafton.
Comparatively few ministers have an
RlyZed the subject sufficiently to notice
this fact and their ignorance Of it will
often account for the reluctance of
newspapers to accept matter contribut-
ed by them. 1t is worth the while of
every man and woman to know the
general plan on which newspaper arti-
cles are written, for almost everybody
desires at times to announce something
through the press. The mere knowl-
edge of the theory will not make sue
cessful writer in this or any other de-
partment, but it is the first step.
The skillful preacher or orator usual
~ reserves his most important points
until toward the end of his discourse,
closing with a climax; the skillful
newspaper reporter puts his climax in
to his first sentence and ends with the
most nonessential detail While the
novelist secures his dramatic effect by
keeping the secret of his story hidden
as long as possible, the reporter attains
success by revealing his secret as
quickly as words will let him. Both
are working on principles as clearly
defined as that on which sonnet is
constructed, but the modern neWsDa-
per article is of so much more recent
date that few critics have analysed it,
and even many of the best New York
writer's work daily upon the foregoing
principle without knowing it. No man
can work many days under a metropol-
itan city editor without learning it.

A STORY OF CuIberson.

In the Fifty-frst congress, when
Speaker Reed first gained the title Of
scar by his arbitrary decisions, Judge
Culberson was one of his strongest
supporters, although he gave the speak
er no public Endorsement, for political
reasons. One afternoon while the Dem
ocrats were in a terrible tumult over q
decision of the speaker and the pro-
ceedings of the house were very near
riot a thunderstorm came up. When
the confusion was highest, binding
flash of lightning and terrible crash
of natures artillery startled every soul
on the floor and caused profound si-
lence. Judge Culberson, like every
body else, was deeply moved, but was
the first to recover. ''That was God
Almighty, sir, calling this house to or
DER" he exclaimed in an impressive
tone, addressing the speaker. Then,
turning to his colleagues, he said, ''Now
let us proceed to business like men,"
