BADLY Ratified ORGANS.


A few days ago The Herald printed
a half column list of Republican papers
which are on record in opposition to
the Porto Rican tariff law just signed
by the president. The list could be
multiplied by four, End the general i'm
preston seems to be that the admins
tration has prepared a pit in which to
hide next November.
The verdict of the Chicago Times
Herald seems TO be the common YER
dict, and is quoted by Republican news
papers in every section of the country.
The truth is that the consistency and
honor of the Republican party were
sacrificed for cheap and cowardly po-
litical reasons, and the moral sense OF
the party was outraged at the bidding
of the smallest fly that ever buzzed
around the hub of progress"
The New York Tribune supported the
measure, but it says:
Such contrasts as are here presented go
far to destroy the life of political party.
In the end no party can exist unless it
seems to a great body of American citi-
patriotic in its aims. When any party de-
liberately demands what il knows must be
bad government in a portion of the terri
tory under the American flag, and does
this for partisan ends only, It Is false TO
every obligation of citizenship. When
any party processes convictions to which
its own conduct gives the lie, it may be
sure that 1t thereby disgusts and drives
away a share of American voters. This
country does not knowingly trust any
party which H-ies to cheat the people with
false pretenses or deliberately sells the
honor and welfare of the nation for the
hope of Office.
Anything in the line of imperialism
that the Anglicized Mr.. Reid cannot
