gressmen can see this matter right.
Here is what a prominent Winona
man says: "a more Infamous bill has
not passed congress in generation,
and it should plague every man that
supported it. 1t is not less than a
bill for theft and highway robbery of
the weak by the strong; political
hold-up at the behest of a sugar trust.
cloaking its infamy in the garments of
a seeming charity. '-Battle Lake Re-
view.
Secretary Root drafted the bill and
the influence of the administration was
exerted in it's behalf, only to find that
the temper Of the American public had
been sadly misjudged. Few contend
that it is just to the Porto Ricans, and
the public sentiment appears to be
overwhelmingly in favor of free trade
between Porto Rico and the United
States. Lakeside Press.
We are anxious]y ava iting the ap-
pearance of the first editor Of this dis
trict to excuse our coDgressman's vote
on the Porto Rican infamy. Battle
Lake Review.
The president in his annual message
recommended free trade measure be-
tween the island and the United States
but the house, evidently Influenced by
the tobacco and sugar trusts, passes
bill with a duty of u per cent. OF
the seven Minnesota congressman
only Heatwole and Fletcher voted
against the bill. Its passage has
caused storm of Indignation from
all parts Of the country, and many a
congressman will hear something drop
with a dull, sickening thud when the
votes are counted next November
Chippewa County Herald.
It has been long time since re-
publican congress has made blunder
in tariff Legislation anywhere equal to
that of the Porto Rican- tariff bill
which passed the house a few days
ago and is now under consideration
by the senate.
That the result was brought about
by the efforts of the sugar and tobacco
trusts is evidenced by the fact that the
author is ashamed to father the bill,
and it stands today without sponsor,
asking recognition at the hands of the
senate.
There is no question as to where the
people of Minnesota stand on this
mesure, as it has been damned by
nearly every prominent republican
paper in the state and the people are
unanimous in their condemnation of
the act.-Litchfeld News Ledger.
=, The principle of free commercial
intercourse between the island and the
states thus recognized by our sem
atOrS and two Representatives and en-
phatically approved by popular opin-
ion is bound to be prevailing issue;
no matter what our Porto Rican
tariffites may have to say in the
premises. Under Spanish rule the
island enjoyed practically free trade;
it lost this privilege since we took
possession, and justice and good faith
demand, in the words of President
Mckinley, that we abolish all customs
tariffs between the United States and
Porto Rico and give her produce free

rate, or restricted as to time. When
Mckinley in his message to congress,
declared that justice, humanity and
honor required US to give Porto Rico
the benefits of absolute free trade, he
spoke for the constitution, for mercy,
and for foir dealing. He left nothing
more to say.-Lyon County Reporter.
But aside from the question of the
effect that free trade with Porto Rico
would have on these two trusts, we
have no more right to impose a tariff
on the products of New Mexico or
Arizona, or than one state has to i'm
pose duty on the products of another
state, and if the majority in congress
allow themselves to be led into COM
mitting this crime against the constitu-
tion of the United States, they must
expect to have to meet it in the coming
campaign.-Jackson County Times.
Considerable stress was laid on the
fact that the law was to survive only
two years. Think of using such an
argument for placing a law on the
statute books of this country. If
wrong, why allow it an hour? If right,
why limit it's duration? Those who
read between the lines can see the
animus. Give these two mighty trusts
two years in which to fix things, and
at the expiration of that time the to-
bacco and sugar Industries of Porto
Rico would become part and parcel
Of the great American trust and then
they would care nothing as to what
rate of tariff might be esta blished.-
Litchfield News Ledger.
Instead of preserving what might
have ueen pardoned as dignifed 81
lence, leaving to congress it's response
bility and reserving to the executive
it's freedom to follow the course Of
plain duty in accordance with the al
most universal approval of the people,
the president permitted it to be under
stood he favored the action of the ways
and means committee and wished to
see free trade with United States denied
to Porto Rico. In this we think Presi-
dent Mckinley committed the nrst al
most irreparable mistake of his ad-
ministration, a mistake that we fear
will not down. The president and the
republican party must remember that
the people of the United States are at
this time peculiarly suspicious of the
occult influence of great trusts in ma
tional legislation. President McKin-
ley's mistake is big with the rossi-
bility of serious disaster for his party
in This years Chicago Times
Herald.
The republicans of the house have
gone on record in favor OF separate
tariff for Porto Rico. One hundred and
sixty-eight of them voted for the bill,
and six of them agains, it.
Just what motives Influenced the 1853
is not now necessary to state. Suffice
it to say that, in voting as they did,
these men defed the common sentiment
of their party. For once an. insignif-
cant minority of six members had be-
hind it the almost unanimous support
of the republicans who made William

don't exactly know what they are talk
ing about. The quartet is confident
of it's ability to quell all opposition
before convention time and if we may
believe present and prospective Office
holders this will be accomplished. But
would it not be better to honestly ad-
NIT the blunder, with promise to cor
rect it? There is also time for an
election.-St. Peter Free Press
That Porto Rico bill gave the repub-
lican party blow that hurts like the
very blazes. The people believe in
free trade in it's own lands and any,
thing different will be rejected with
vigor.-Anoka Union.
President Mckinley asked for free
trade and the house leaders agreed
with him. Later they changed their
minds; they bulldozed the other mem
bers of the house and the president to
yield to them and are now engaged in
the pastime of bulldozing the senate
and the party into subservience.-
Alexandria Post News (Hanna).
The levying of tariff arbitrarily by
the American government means that
the property of the ten millions of peo-
pie in the Philippines and the one
million in Porto Rico is in the powe,
of congress to take away at will. THIS
IS IMPERIALISM IN THE WORST
FORM and it's adoption by this country
is frought with danger to the American
republic as we'll as to the peoples whom
we have taken under our protection
and to whom we have pledged Justice
and liberty Lea Times.
Even President Mckinley favored
free trade, but said, "we must get this
bill through or the party will suffer. -
It seems that the party cuts more of a
figure with many congressman then
does a sense of right and justice.
There is little doubt that the bill will
pass the senate and become a law,
though it seems to us that it will be to
the discredit of our people.-Slayton
Herald.
The St. Paul Dispatch voices the
sentiment of large majority of the
republicans of the state when it comes
out squarely against the Porto Rican
tariff bill. Some of our congressman
will have reasons for regret if they
support that bill.-Edgerton Enter
prise.
The news is republican paper, but
it believes the majority in congress
will commit grievous error if it places
a tariff tax upon the products of that
island. And while. congress is
at it, they might look into some of the
other tariff schedules, behind which
trusts are intrenched and robbing the
people.-Heron Lake News. ..
The proposition to limit the tenure
of the Porto Rican tariff tb two years
does not mitigate the inherent wicked
ness of the project. If it is bad at all,
it is,as bad for 2 years as for eternity.
Neivher can be public opinion be plaza
ted by a reduction Of the charge from.
25 to Is per cent. Obviously, all these
amendments and. concessions are mere
compr omises with good faith. We are
justified in applying the Dingley tariff
law to Porto Rico in all its integrity,
or we are not justified in applying it
in any form, whether modified as to.

INDICATIONS OF STRYCHNINE
AS the Cause OF Death of an Unknown
Wan at Oklahoma CITY.

Guthrie, O. T, March 5.-The Oklaho-
man, Of Oklahoma City has the follow
ing: The body of an unknown man was
found near the Choctaw track two miles
east Of the city Saturday at noon The
body was that of man about forty-five
years Of age, five feet six in height,
weight about 100 pounds, hair streaked
with grey, mustache sandy. No Sne has
been found who can identify the body
Section Foreman Ray stated to the coro-
ner that he saw a man sitting on the
track in the forenoon. He seemed to be
suffering and Ray went to him and asker
what the trouble was. The stranger said
that his back was giving him much pain
and that he was thirsty. When asked If
he had been on a spree ne replied that he
had not. Ray left him and returned to
his work. Just after twelve Ray heard
the man cry out He ran to where the
man lay and found him dying Word
was brought to the sheriff by Mr.. c. c.
Jones, who lives near by, and Sheriff
Copeland. Coroner Catter1eld and others
went at once to the scene and began an
investigation into the causes of the mans
death. There were no letters in the
mans pockets and no marks on his cloth
ing which would give clue to his lden-
tity. Two barber checks from Fatty Car
penter's barber shop were found in his
pocket A close examina ton Of the body
failed to discover any wounds or injury
and the mans robust appearance preclud-
ed the idea OF death from disease. The
mans jaws were locked IN a few mo-
ments after his death, while his flesh
was still warm and his limbs had not be-
gun to stiffen. This and other ctrcum-
stances convinced DR.. Satterfield that the
stranger had died from the effects of
strychnine or other poison. After the in
quest the body was brought to this city
and placed in the establishment Of I'm
dertaker Street, where number Of peo-
pie called to examine II. 1t is evident
that the man had been at work quite re-
Gently and the stains upon his clothing
and shoes indicate that he was stone
