"LIBERAL, GENEROUS, CHRISTIAN
LAWSv

Mr.. Grosvenor of Ohio, the special
pleader for McKinley's administration in
the house Of representatives, used the
following words in a speech delivered by
him last Wednesday:
Look at the liberal, generous, Chris
tan laws that we have bestowed upon
the people of Puerto Rico Look at the
fact that but for the intervention of
few men on this side of the water we
should have extended the same benefits
OF the constitution. the same liberty of
American citizenship In embryo at least
to the people Of the Philippine islands ;;
This is fair warning that when Mr..
Grosvenor and those he represents fad
themselves in a position to do so, the
Philippine islands are to be taxed for
the benefit of the trusts, the same as
Puerto Rico has been. And It Is no use
telling the people that the trusts wanted
free trade with Puerto Rico because they
own all that island produces They may
own some of last years crop, and If they
do own it. why is it to be allowed to enter
the United States at only Is per cent OF
the regular tariff on such imports if the
Republican house leaders are as anxious
as they claim to tax the trusts for the
benefit of Puerto Rico?
But the trusts do not own next years
crop Of tobacco and sugar In Puerto
Rico. 1t is not grown yet, and if the pow
erty-stricken planters and merchants OF
Puerto Rico are compelled to pay tar
iff on next years crop, why. of course,
they will be compelled to sell 1t to the
trusts-for there Is no one else to buy it
and the trusts will escape by paying Is
per cent of the Dingley tariff rates upon
it when they import it,
And Mr.. Grosvenor has the efCrontery
to invite people to '1ook at the liberal,
generous. Christian laws which we have
bestowed on the people of Puerto Rico"
Such cant and hypocrisy is simply nau-
seating, and if he thinks the people can
swallow 1t, he is badly mistaken.

over 200 of the Hebrew citizens of st.
Pam attended meeting held at Pfeifer' s.
hall yesterday afternoon, and not only
gave Robert A. Smith an ovation. but
pledged themselves to vote and work for
the success Of the entire Democratic
TICKET The meeting was a most enthusi-
astic one, and the speakers were roundly
cheered as they scored points against the
republican administration Of the past
four years.
oscar Tankenof presided, and, in open
ing the meeting, said he had always been
democrat for the reason that the In
terests of the common people were better
protected under Democratic than under
Republican rule. The Hebrew citizen did
not have to have any promises from
Robert A. Smith as to what he would do
when elected. What he would do not
only for the Hebrews, but for every other
citizen. would be in line with what he
had done in the past.
Robert A. Smith was given an ovation
when he was introduced as the next
mayor Of st. Paul. and at the close Of his
remarks. by rising vote, the audience
pledged him their support, and the same
assurance was given the entire ticket
Mr.. Smith said in part:
I'VE have an excellent ticket from top
to bottom. and one which every citizen
of ST. Paul can be proud of, and I can
assure you that the election Of the en-
tire ticket will be for the benefit Of the
city and citizens. My election and the
defeat Of the assembly and alderrnanic
tickets would handicap the administra-
ton, as it Is impossible to have full con-
troll of affairs with opposition in the
council. I feel a personal interest in the
election of Louis Betz as comptroller as
knew his father Mr.. Betz is an honest
and competent man and Is qualified for
the position. The Republicans argue
that McCardy should be retained owing

WHAT CHESTER MEANT.

Father said the high school boy the
other night, do you know what Chester
means?"
''Well, my son." remarked paterfamil-
las, who was brought up in the Repub-
lican faith, and hates to shake down any
of the altar gods, 81 haven't really been
able to figure out whether he means to
be mayor or let Harris Richardson and
Capt. Drake run the town."
Il didn't intend to ask you what Mr..
Smith meant, but what his name, Ches-
ter, meant. Our teacher says 1t is a Sax
on corruption"
What's that? Chester Smith? Corrup-
ton? Hush!'
She says that it's corruption of the
old Latin castra, meaning fortified
camp, and that it meant, literally, in the
earlier English days, walled city
''S-say, my son" rejoined the father,
as beaming smile overspread his face.
Walled city, Ell? Tell your teacher that
she's brick. It's all clear to me now.
Walled city. Well, well, we'll! That ac-
counts for his being such tight wad.'
