The war department of the admins
tration has asked the law department
of the administration for an
opinion upon the elasticity of
the constitution as it pertains to our
newly acquired territory, and especially
to Porto Rico. The law department of
the administration informs the war de-
partment of the administration that the
constitution is what congress and Mr..
Mckinley are pleased to make it. "The
power to extend or contract the terrific
rial boundaries of the United States"
says the law department Of the admins
tration, lis vested in the president and
congress-" and likewise the constitution
may be expanded or contracted at their
will. Well may the American people in
quire, "Of what use is the constitution
of the United States, under the McKin-
ley administrations"

The Porto Rican bill may not have
plain sailing in the Senate. 1t is said
that Senator Aldrich, of Rhode Island,
is preparing to lead an assault on the
measure that may add fresh injury to
that which has already been brought to
the Republican party by forcing the
bill through the House under the party
lash. Senator Aldrich and other Re-
publican senators of great influence
agree with the original recommenda-
tions of the president. that the island
should be given the benefit of absolute
free trade, and President Mckinley
must bear the responsibility for the
passage of the Porto Rican bill. But
for his intervention it would have been
defeated by a majority about twice as
large as that cast in its favor. He does
not consider it a wise or just measure,
but in his opinion it is better for the
people of Porto Rico to pay nominal
tax upon the commerce of the United
States than for the Republican party
10 be divided. In other words, he agreed
to sacrifice justice and right to politi-
cal expediency, which in the end may
prove political damnation.

M'KINLEY's ABOUr-FAc cE.

We publish today, on this page, an
editorial from the Chicago Times
Herald, on the Presidents Momentous
Mistake" which should be read by every
Democrat and Republican in Stark
county. The Times-Herald is the lead
ing Republican paper of the west and
has been, right along, the mouth-piece
of the Mckinley administration. 1t is
published by Mr. Kohlsaat, well known
throughout the country as TIE personal
friend of VIM. Mckinley, and in the
campaign of 1896 one of his confidential
advisers. At the time of Mr.. McKin-
ley's financial difficulties, Mr. Kohlsaat
was one of the first to respond to the
"relief fund" and so close was he to Mr..
Mckinley that he was made a trustee
to pass around the hat for the benefit
of his friend. So that what Mr.. Kohl
saat has to say in the editorial columns
of his paper. cannot be attributed to
any personal feeling or political preju-
dice. He has, no doubt, with thousands
Of other faithful ane loyal Republicans,
watched in painful. pitiful silence the
weak and vacillating course of the
president until "desponding fear" gave
way TO honest duty"

suit from the limit of 100000 per year
for subsidy absolutely destroys the
possibility of any monopoly of any
route or character of trade" .
ExCongressman John Dewitt Warner,
who has examined the details Of the
subsidy bill very carefully, has an en-
tirely different opinion of the bill and of
the possibilities Of monopolies and
trusts under it. He even suggests a
doubt as to the Patriotic motives of the
committee which drafted the bill to
give themselves 100000 a year in
subsidies. He calls it Combine Of
trusts by trusts for trusts" We print
his vigorous and interesting letter on
it today. 1t will repay careful read

Through all the bitter fighting
over the bill to tax Porto Rico,
President Mckinley has occupiedga a most
characteristic jelly-like attitude. Since
the opposition of the big producers of
the country to free trade has develop
ed, he has not had the courage to state
his position. All he would say to con-
gressmen who asked his advice was that
he desired harmony in the party.
Whether that harmony was to result
from the passage of free trade bill or
of tariff bill, he would not say. Thus
the supporters of both policies were left
free to claim him for their side. and
he himself was free to jump down on
the winning side after the fate of the
pending bill had been determined. A
very slick politician, is Mr.. Mckinley.

There was loss of fully 1c al around

The cause of the slump was largely the
weather, though weak cables cut some

has. been. a tendency among spectators,
and the general public as we'll, to switch
from the May to the duly option. That
has been the feature5 Of the wheat mar
ket the last few days. There Is evidently
q belief that the new option will afford
a better chance to .Teceup than will the
present active one. ,land there is quite a
majority who are thinking that way.
Wheat will be a puzzle for the remainder

present there is little tof encourage the
bull element. That there may come a
change any day is always a possibility,
and the probability Is that the holders
of the May option viii get out on their
changes to July.
CORN AND OATS.
Corn seems on the slide There was
hope that the grain would recover some
of the strength shown for SO many
months, upon reports Of demand for feed
ing purposes, but even that straw has dis.
appeared, and the bears seem to nave the
better of it in the corn market. The
coarser grain has not done so we'll as
wheat. 1t is away off from the position
to which it rose so rapidly, and there is
nothing in the present situation to carry
hope to the corn bulls
Oats are nominal. There is less Inter
est in them than for many weeks. The
prices are lower, and the dealings are
not up to the standard, but there has
been little if any autter over their ac-
ton.
STOCKS HIT HARD.
When John w. Gates, of the American
Steel and Wire company, caused the
closing down OF a number Of the plants
Of that company, and soon thereafter
announced that the action was due to
over-production and lack Of demand, he
gave the stock market a severe blow.
Especially was it felt in the iron and
steel stocks, and, for that matter, all
down the industrial list And there was
a wave of the drawback that struck
other securities Mr.. Gates was roundiy
denounced by the believers in the future
of the stock market, but that availed
naught, and prices continued to sag.
Money is easier than it was week ago.
General conditions are far from discour-
aging, and there may come a recussion
at any time which will put the bull ele-
ment in better humer.-~

A HINT TO ALFALFA GROWERS.

All through the middle west and eastern
states there is a great awakening of in
terest In the growing of alfalfa. The re-
peated failures Of the clover crop,
through severe freezing out in winter,
and the folly Of the farmers in sowing it
with nurse crop and maturing the grain,
as well as cutting 1t after the seed has
started to form, all these causes have
discouraged many in growing clover
But every man who thinks of growing
alfalfa should remember that alfalfa is a
species Of clover; that many of the clover
traits attach to it, and that it can be
killed by ignorance just as easily as
clover.
1. Through cultivation and working of
the soil beforehand, and killing of the
weeds; alfalfa is often cheked to death
when young, by the weeds.
z Alfalfa does not want to be put in
take piece Of fall plowed land, and aft
er giving it a thorough surface cultiva-
ton, SOW the alfalfa there
s. In our own experience a nurse crop
OF oats helps keep the weeds down, pro-
Yided the oats are cut for hay. This
feature must not be forgotten Farmers
Kill clover and alfalfa by allowing oats
when soWn as nurse crop, to ripen, be-
cause 1t takes 500 pounds of water from
the soil to ripen one pound of oats. and
the young alfalfa or clover plants are
thus robbed of the water necessary to
keep them alive at their tender age
a. By early cutting, just as 1t com
menees to blossom. two or three cuttings
may be had in the season, and the root
preserved for subsequent years. By al.
lowing it to stand too long, or until the
and subsequent cuttings the same season
are prevented
