that was lavished upon them. From the almost
microscopical toy terrier weighing only few
ounces to the enormous st. Bernards, mastihs
and Great Danes the exhibition was such as to
call out keen interest. This exhibition, as well
as the other big shows in the metropolis, causes

the men who reared this stately edifice and
they should be liberal in their support of the

LIGHT Upon PUERTO RICO.

Our special Washington dispatches in yester-
days Tribune cast an instructive light upon
some phases of the Puerto Rican question: con-
corning which we have already spoken in these
columns. We have hitherto expressed the opin-
ion that the opponents of the pending tariff bill
were animated less by regard for the welfare Of
the people of Puerto Rico than by partisan po-
litical motives or by a desire for the triumph
OF some academic doctrine of political economy
or constitutional law. The former seems to be
the case with the Democrats, with the eXcep-
ton of a small but honorable minority. To the
giving of legislative relief TO the destitute
Puerto Ricans they appear 70 be profoundly in
different. They probably would not care if half
the people Of the island persisted, long as
they could charge responsibility therefor upon
the Republican Government. Their one su-
preme idea IS as one of them has privately eX-
pressed IL ito put the Administration in a
hole" In that enlightened game they are
willing that the people Of Puerto Rico should be
used and sacrificed as pawns. If any one
thinks that too severe a charge against the
Democratic majority, he has only 10 recall the

So much for the Democratic majority. But
what are we 10 say of that small minority of
Republicans who are willing 20 play the part
OF catspaws In such a game? Upon them and
their motives Washington correspondent
also throws light. Reduced 10 its last analysis,
their objection TO the Puerto Riean tariff is based
upon the technical ground that the island is a
part Of the United States, and that therefore
the tariff would be unconstitutional. In that.
as we have amply shown, they are setting
themselves not only against Republican doc
Erine bur against the established practice Of
the United States Government and against the
overwhelming weight Of judicial decisions. We
cannot regard their opposition, therefore. as
based so much upon principle as upon what

desire 10 tablish q new departure" Of doubt

so much that they object 10 the proposed tariff,

tariff. Or. rather, they object 10 a maintenance
