OUGHT TO HAVE FREE TRADE.
The attempG to force Porto r

The attempt to force Porto Rico
to pay twenty-five per cent of the
Dingley tariff upon her products
enterir g the United States is hardly
fair treatment. The argument that
the abolitution Of the custom duties
between the island and the United
States would be a victory for free
trade is very far-fetched. still we
find no less paper than the New
York Press, which is one of the
strongest republican papers in the
the country, advancing this argu-
lnent. The islanders naturally ex-
pected that the United States
would be as liberal as was Spain,
and absolute free trade was main
tanned between those two countries
before we came into possession of
the islands. A Gus toms duty upon
the Porto Rican products would be
hardship that might we'll give the
islanders good reason to think that
our professions of deep interest in
their welfare are somewhat magni-
fed.
President Mckinley is unquestion-
ably right in his message, which
says:
Our plain duty is to abolish all
custom tariffs between the United
States and Porto Rico and give her
products free access to our mar
kets."
Secretary Root in his annual re-
port adds: 1.-THE highest considera-
tion of justice aud good faith de-
mand that we should not disappoint
the confident expectations of sharing
in our prosperity with which the
people of Porto Rico so gladly
transferred their allegiance to the
United States. and that we should
treat the interests of this people as
we should our own !" | wish most
strongly to urge" he added, that

MUNICIPAL COURT OF IRON RIVER.

THE. Iron River Judgeship is the
only matter that the voters will
have to deal with this spring, out
side of local election affairs. Judge
Savage, who has held the office
since it was created declines to be a
candidate for election, and in his
paper, the Pioneer, comments as fol-
aows on the mention OF. his name in
connection with the place by The
TINES. He says:
It is certainly gratifying TO the
Pioneer editor to know that+shis
administration of the Office of MUM
scipal Judge is meeting with approval
throughout the county. Urgent as
has been the requests, from various
sources to again be candidate, We
must however, decline. There are
many candidates IN the field for this
Office whom seem to want it and the
voters of the county will have war;
sietv to select from. Many of the
aspirants are well known through
out the county and have served in
public capacities before.
We note the closing sentence Of
Judge Savage's article, Many of
the aspirants are well known
throughout the county and have
served in public capacities before. =
This may not mean very much for
the aspirants as it is notorious fact
that most of the men who served
the time of Judge Savage
handled the justice affairs of the
town in an extravaganza and reckless
manner and it was the dlsgraceful
manner, in which the,justice shops OF
the town were conducted that
caused the better element of Iron
RIVER to secure the establishment
of their Municipal Court. Under
Judge Savage's administration there
has been radical improvement for
the better, and justice has been
served at reasonabl prices, and
IN a manner that caused censterna-
ton to those who have been living
by system that wasgno better than
plumber. Ii the voters have got to
take their pick from this lot who
still hang about Iron River it is an
unfortunate condition of affairs. But
we trust that among the available
men across the county one will be
chosen who will faithfully guard the
interests of justice and the public in
the same manner as under Mr.. Saw
: ages administration.

Discovered by a Woman.

Another great discovery has been
made and that too by woman in
this country. Disease fastened its
clutches upon her and for seven
years she withstood it's severest
tests, but her vital organs were un-
.derminded and death seemed immi-
5nent. For three months she coughed
necessarily, and could not sleep.
She finally discovered way to re
5covery by purchasing of US bottle
of Dr. Kings New Discovery for
Consumption, and was so mnch
relieved on taking first dose that she
slept all night, and with two bottles
has been absolutely cured. Her

While the play and the book pos

Militiaman Shot Down by an Assassin In
Ambush.
Croton Landing, N. Y, April l6-The
first blcodshed as the outcome OF the
strike at the Cornell dam was the life
blood of Sergeant Robert Douglass Of
the Eleventh separate company of Mount
Vernon. who was shot dead by an IN
known assassin while he was relieving
guard at 10 minutes to 9 o'clock tonight.
The widest excitement prevailed
throughout the camp as soon as the news
of the assassination spread to the differ.
ent tents, and the soldiers are frantic
over the crime. The point where the
sergeant fell is known as post 10, which
was in charge of Corporal Mcdowell.
1t is situated on top of the hill near Lit.
tie It'ly. where armed strikers were seen
drilling or marching about early this
morning. brandishing rifles and shotguns.
The spot is high over the huge pile Of
masonry, and from it one can command
a view of the country, on each side, up
and down the Croton valley. Douglass
was talking to Corporal Mcdowell and
the other members of the guard, when be
suddenly clapped his hands to his
stomach and said: Lord, boys, I'm
shot," and Immediately fell to the
ground. 1t was pitch dark at the time
but Mcdowell and the others fired a
volley into clump of bushes near by
without hitting anyone. No one saw the
flash or heard the sound of the sho,
which killed Douglass, and it was mos,
mysterious affair.

London, April I7-It is now suggested
by several correspondents from the front
that the abandoned attack on Wepener
was not a serious movement by the
Beers but was made to create diver
sion by way Of covering up the move
ment of several parties in Southern
Natal, who have been reported here and
there and have kept Roberts guessing,
but who are really out to gather food

"The Beers are in FULL retreat from
Wepener, hugging the Basutoland bord-
er. The Basutos are marching parallel
with them along the frontier, watching
eagerly for the slightest encroachment."
The Bloemfonteln correspondent Of
the Telegraph, in dispatch dated yes
terday says;
"rhe Beers have raised the seige of
Wepener and have left Rockville. A
majority of them have undoubtedly gone
north, with the exception of a body Of
about 5000, now reported to be going to
ward Bethulie.''

OLD AND THE NEW.

The old council went out of business
last night and the new council came in.
That is to say. Aldermen Hubbard and
Aubrey moved back among their consti-

Gilbert took the vacant chars.
There were reports from retiring Off
GERS and the new council proceeded to
ballot for night police as follows:
Robert Davis I.
John Fagerstedt 5.
Frank Metcalf L.

Mr. Fagerstedt was declared the
councils choice. The new policeman
has been employed at Alderman Austin
brick works, is Scandinavian and
stands six feet FIVE and is of burly build
John H. Ivey, night policeman, was

airy is the same but the work is much

George F. Fonda was unanimously re.
elected chief of the fire department and
w. w. Wells was unanimously re.elect-
ed water commissioner and superintend.
ent of sewers. These twopositions com.
bined give Mr. Wells salary of $500 a
month.
An application was received from MI
Stubble6eld to be appointed health off.
Ger, but Mayor Whitley made the point
that this official must be a physician.
The city attorney sustained the point,
so the appointment went over. The
council desires some young and ambi.
tious physician for this Office. The
princely salary of $40 month is at.
tached to the Office.
The city clerk was created purchas.
ing agent for the city for the ensuing
|year.
