PRESIDENT ASKED 1T.
The Reason Mr.. Watson Voted for the
Porto Rica Bill.

RUSHvILLE, Ind. March 5.-The Hon.
James E. Watson arrived at his home here
to-day on the noon train. He expressed
himself as follows on the Porto Rican tariff
bill:
II voted for the bill at the earnest So
licitation of President Mckinley and the
leaders of the Republican party simply as
an emergency measure. I haven't the least
doubt as to the constitutionality of the
bill. However. that is for the Supreme
Court to decide. AS to the merits and
dement's of the bill, have nothing to say
at this time. / never said at any time that
/ would join the Democracy and vote
against the bill, but L did say that would
vote against and fight the bill in the Re-
publican caucus and did When my party
in caucus decided to support the bill and
the President assured me that he wanted
the bill to pass; when it was modified
to make ii temporary in its effect, simply
revenue and not a protective measure,
with the proceeds to be applied wholly to
the people of the island, and when plainly
saw the tobacco and sugar trust lobby
lists working might and main for its defeat
i subordinated my own PERSONAL views as
to the expediency of the passage of such
a bill and voted for il in the interests of
party hamony and to sustain the admins
tratiOn.'
In reply to the question: "Will the Sem
ate pass the measured" Mr.. Watson re-
piled: Yes; it certainly will. l expect to
make complete statement of the situation
in which / placed at the convention
next Thursday. If have erred in standing
by the administration and the Republican
party, then am willing to suffer the conse-
quences.'

a Washington correspondent to the effect
that he had intended to defend the bill to

Where Credit Is Due.

Indiana Baptist.
In the death OF President James H.
Smart, of Purdue University. Indiana has
lost a distinguished educator. For more
than thirty years he has been connected
with the educational system OF the State
AS the head of Purdue University he has
done much TO organize the forces of that
institution and render its work more eff
fective. II is a mistake, however, as some
of Mr.. Smart's eulogists have asserted, to
consider him the founder and organizer of
Indiana's public school system. The credit
of that important work belongs to Prof
Caleb Mills, one of the founders of Wabash
College. and long a teacher in that institu-
ton. In the face of active opposition on
the part of the illiterate people of the State
and of positive Indifference on the part of
many of its educated people, Professor
Mills induced the Legislature TO make ex-
periments i'm the direction of free schools
out of which has grown the present public
school system. Professor Smart, as MEM
Der of the State Board OF Education, and
as superintendent of public instruction
was instrumental in greatly increasing the
efficiency of our public school system and
raising the standard of intelligence among
teachers. but the honor of being the found
err OF Indiana's system of public schools
must always remain with Professor Mills.

The fact that the stock of the American
Sugar Refining Company, known as the
sugar trust. has fallen to 96 after selling
In January for 1S7. has a real cause. which
is that the trust is losing money and that
whatever dividends may be declared now
arc paid from the company sreserves. Since
1887 the trust had it's way. but now It has
enough competition TO reduce the margin
between raw and refined sugar so low that
refining is done at loss. The competing
companies control but little over 10 per
cent OF the trade. yet such competition
has so reduced the price that 6 1-3 cents Is
lost on every barrel. The competition
loses jist the same, but being In its busi-
ness to fight the trust. II can afford to
lose on its small output much better than
the trust can on its large sales. The in
structive feature is that IL does not take
a very extensive competition to ruin a
monopoly such the sugar trust had
three years ago.

THE MACHINISTS' STRIKE.


CHICAGO. March 5.-The labor situation
in Chicago took on new phase to-day.
The rapidity with which the strike of the
union machinists has spread and the APP
parent willingness of the nonunion ma
chinists to follow the example OF the union
men in laying down their tools has made
the labor leaders rather apprehensive of
the strike becoming unwieldy, and Presi-
dent O'Connell. of the International Asso-
citation of Machinists. said to-day that for
the present, at least, nonunion strikers
would not receive the encouragement OF
the union. Efforts will be made to confine
the trouble to union machinists. and SYM
pathetic strikes will be avoided until the
situation demands support OF that charac-
ter.
President OConnell also made the state
ment that no strikes will be ordered among
the machinists employed by traffic lines
1T is not the intention TO allow the strike
TO interfere with the public convenience.

About 200 machinists walked out Of the

THE DAVIS AMENDMENT.

The amendment which Senator Davis
offered yesterday to the Porto Rican bill
pending in the Senate extends to that
island all the revenue laws of the United
States. 1t provides for free trade between
Porto Rico and every part of the United
States the same as now exists between
the ports OF the different States. At the
chandise imported into Porto Rico shall
be the same as on foreign merchandise i'm
ported into the United States In other
words, the provisions of the Constitution
relating to taxation are extended to Porto
Rico. This is in accordance with the recon-
mendation of the Presidents message 1t
is proposed by Senator Davis to incorpor-
ate this amendment into the Porto Rican
bill, which is not the tariff bill passed by
the House. but a measure reported by a
Senate committee providing for the civil
government of Porto Rico, which is much
the same in principle as the Senate has
already passed for the government of
Hawaii. Senator Davis holds that the Con-
stitution does not extend to territory ac-
quired by the United States by the mere
cession by treaty, but that Congress by
special action must authorize the extern
sion. Consequently. he quotes the provi-
sions of the Constitution relative to taxa
ton which apply to the States in connec-
ton with the amendment he has offered.
The Journal sees no reason to change
the opinions it has expressed upon this
matter. All that has been said has been
read and considered, but nothing is found
to lead to any modification Of views. All
of the territory of the United States should
be under the same revenue system when
the time comes to establish civil govern
ment therein. For that reason, as a mat
ter of justice and consistency, the Journal
most earnestly hopes that the amendment
Of Senator Davis will be incorporated into
| the Porto Rican bill and that eventually il
will be adopted by the House.
