pense of their government and that this
can only be done by levying tariff duties
on trade between the island and the United
States is not tenable nor true. OF course.
the Porto Ricans should be taxed, and they
are willing TO be, but il does not follow
that they should pay the entire expense of
their government from the start. 1t would
be far better for Congress to appropriate
money out of the treasury than TO adopt
policy of injustice in order TO avoid
small deficit But. even admitting that the
Porto Ricans should pay the entire expense
of their government. the levying of tariff
duties on trade between them and the rest
of the country is not the way to raise reve-
nue.. II Congress cannot devise "A fafrer
and better plan than this let il take advice
Of the Porto Ricans. There are plenty of
intelligent business men in the island beg
ging for recognition under the American
flag who will be glad to instruct Congress
in better way
Finally, Speaker Henderson argues that
the proposed tariff would not last long
anyhow 1.-The bill Provides he says.
that this tax shall expire in two years,
which is time enough to allow the govern
ment machinery of Porto Rico to get into
working order" Admitting, for the sake
of argument, that it will take two years
to get the government machinery of Porto
Rico into working order, why should they
be two years of empirical craftsmanship
and glaring injustice? The proposed tariff
law would not raise one-tbird enough
money in two years to defray the expense
of the Porto Rican government, and at
the end of that period probably every argu-
ment now used for it's enactment would be
used for it's continuance and increase. Why
not start out with policy of justice that
will not require any pledge for it's discon-
tinuance in two years? If Porto Rico is
ever to be treated as part of the United
States why not begin at once? If we must
have experimental legislation let us ex-
pertinent in the interest of justice rather
than of greed.
The speakers letter Is weak in its de-
Tense of the House bill and disingenuous in
not stating the real reasons for its passage
had been previously introduced by the
chairman of the committee on ways and
means The House should retrace it's steps
| and get back into the way of plain duty.

WELCOMED BY CUBANS
TEN-POUND GIRL ADDED TO THE
FAMILY OF GOVERNOR WOOD.
Said to he the First Child Born in the
nOrs Always Returned to Spain.

HAVANA, March 29.-Mrs. Wood, wife
of the Governor General. gave birth to
ten-pound girl at the palace at noon to-
day. Mother and child are doing well.
The records of Havana do not show the
birth here of any other Governor Generals
child. Under the Spanish regime the wife
of Governor General invariably left for
Spain that the child might be born there
The afternoon papers had gone to press
before the palace event was announced,
although the Discussion learned of it in
wish all happiness to the Governor General,
to his wife and to the Cuban little girl,
who. we hope. will be fervent partisan OF
the independence of her native country"
1t is announced that fusion has been ef-
fected between the members of the Au-
economist party and the delegates who late
ly seeded from the National party. chief
ly the members of the old National League
under the leadership of Senior Pierra. From
this fusion it is expected that strong po-
litical organization will spring. Senior
Tamayo. secretary of government. says
there are 300 900 voters in the island of
Cuba and 129 municipalities. This allows
for 40, 900 Spaniards out of a probable $4,000.
Although some claim that the Spanidrds
exceed 10000. IL is now estimated that 10000
will register as Spanish subjects, partic-
ularly those who came last year.

SENATOR BEvERIDGE.s SPEECH.

In Senator Beveridge'S speech on the
Porto Rican tariff question. delivered yes
terday and published in this issue of the
Journal, there is much to approve and adj
mire, both in matter and form. In so far
as it makes for free trade between Porto
Rico and the rest of the United States,
unrestricted by any tariff duties whatever,
the Journal is in full and hearty accord
with it. Other advocates of this policy in
THE House and Senate have presented the
legal and constitutional aspects of the case
so fully as to leave little to be said on
those lines. But Senator Beveridge makes
a very strong presentation of what might
be called the ethical arguments. Address
ing himself to elemental principles and self
evident truths, he makes a strong and elo-
quent appeal in favor of pursuing the
course of plain duty towards Porto Rico.
which. as President Mckinley put it in his
message of last December. means free
trade with the United States.
But there are other parts of the speech
with which the Journal cannot agree.
These are those in which the senator
argues, as he does with reiteration, in
favor of the absolute free hand of Con-
gress over all our possessions and of the
subordination of the American Constitu-
ton to American institutions. His argu-
ment on this point seems to make for the
unlimited power of Congress over new ter
ritories, irrespective of the Constitution.
That would launch us on a wide and
dangerous sea. The Constitution defines
the powers of Congress. and they are ample
enough without seeking for new ones
above or outside of it. Congress has a
free hand to legislate on the lines and on
the subjects and within the limits pre-
scribed by the Constitution, but nothing
short of the law of self-preservation or a
national crisis can justify 1t i'm going out
ment in favor of the free hand of Con-
gress goes too far. safer doctrine is that
of Senator Davis. whose amendment to the
Foraker bill gives Porto Rico absolute free
trade with the United States by extending
certain provisions of the Constitution over
the island. without extending them to the
Philippines or other territories except by
legislative action, thus making Congress
subordinate to the Constitution instead of
above it.
Senator Beveridge's statement that he
will vote for the Foraker civil government
bill whether it carries free trade or not,
shows that he regards civil government as
of paramount Importance for Porto Rico.
1t certainly is of great Importance. and
yet the Journal is inclined to place the
question of free trade between the island
and the States as of still greater impor-
tance. Nevertheless. both are great ques-
tons, and opinions may differ as to their
relative Importance.
The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1900-03-30

Allowing full credence to ex-Consul Mac.
runs testimony before the House COM
mittee on foreign affairs. it shows that
two letters 10 him in one mail were opeped
by the British censor at Durham. and that
as soon as the matter was called to the at
tention of the British authorities they
apologized. The British high commissioner
in South Africa sent what Secretary Hay
terms "a very satisfactory apology" and
the Foreign Office at London authorized the
British ambassador at Washington to say
that while the government was not aware
that such a thing had been done. if it had
been IL was contrary to Instructions When
the act of laundering superserviceable
official Is disavowed and apologized for by
his government there is an end of it. AS
Macrym did not consider the incident i'm
portant enough to report il TO the State
Department, IL is evident his injured dig
nifty was an afterthought.
