A snub or a FUNK.

Either President Mckinley has been
directly snubbed by the national
house of representatives, dominated
by his party, in the matter of his pro-
posed policy in the tariff relations
between the United States and our
new ward, Porto Rico. or the presi-
dent is ready for another of his dou-
BILE back action fiip-tioPs. in his last
message to congress, the president
said:
.'Our plain duty IL to abolish all Gus
toms tariffs between the United States
and Porto Rico. and give her products
free access to our markets"
The national house yesterday passed
q tariff measure of ID per cent OF the
obnoxious Dingley law on goods going
in and out OF the island. And it is
likely that the new bill will have the
senate's approval.
Then we will see what the president
will do, in carrying out "our plain
duty"

This IL the Gentleman Who Is Entitled to
All the Credit for All the Numerous
Cures That are Being Effected
at the British Medical In
stitute. 1909 Second
Avenue.
A staff of eminent physicians and
surgeons from the British Medical In
stitute have at the urgent solicitation
of large numb of patients under
their treatment in this vicinity es-
tablished permanent branch of the
institute in this city at No. 1902
Second avenue.
These eminent gentlemen have de-
cided to give their services entirely
free for three months (medicine ex-
cepted) to ali invalids who may call
upon them for treatment between now
and Feb. 10. These services consist
not only of consultation, examination
and advice. but also of all minor sur
gical operations.
The object in pursuing this course
is to become rapidly and personally
acquainted with the sick and the af-
tlicted, and, under no condition what
ever will any charges be made for any
services rendered for three months to
ali " IlO Cdl4 DClOIC GU. IL.
The doctors treat all forms of di-
sease and deformities and guarantee
a cure in every case they undertake.
At the first interview a thorough eN-
animation - made, and, if in durable,
you are frankly and kindly told so,
also advised against spending your
money for useless treatment.
Male and female weakness, cartarrh
and cartal rhal deafness, also rupture,
goitre, cancer, and all diseases of the
rectum are positively cured by their
new treatment.
DR.. f. Valentine Heaton, the chief
surgeon of the institute,
is in personal charge.
Office hours from a. m. till s p.

The republican Porto Rican tariff
measure has passed the house. and
the fact that compromise on the
rate To Is per cent has been made does
not relieve the odium that attaches TO
the act. 1t is a compromise with ma
tional honor in any form, and there
the compromise business begins and
ends. The nation, springing and
reared from the blood-purchased prin-
ciple that taxation without represent
alton is u crime. cannot in honor
force such doctrine upon it's de-
Tendencies under any representation.

WHILE attempting to present

WHILE attempting to present the
appearance of innocence. as To the
nature Of the delegation selected
by the republican convention of
Rock Island county 10 the state con-
vention at Peoria, the Union never
theless takes occasion to remind the
gentlemen so selected that they are
expected to be pretty well posted as
10 the feelings of Rock Island county
republicans. The morning paper
seeks To console its readers with the
assertion that the delegation carries
no label and i neither a ''Hauecy del
egation" not Reeves delegation"
The fact il also commented upon that
there has been considerable senti-
ment of late among republicans
against instructing the state delega-
ton in behalf of any particular can
didates. and the convention
bowed TO this sentiment, thus
giving the delegates the high
est possible expression of confidence"
The Union does not seem to realize
that this "cOnsidera BILE sentiment of
late" to which Rock Island county
has so gracefully bowed, about send
ing uninstructed delegates. has been
moulded by the Tanner machine. 1t

over the state and when noses are

The only advance in the price of
real estate in Illinois has been the
apparent advance produced by the
new revenue law. Under that law
the increase in the valuation for taxa
ton has not been justified by subse-
quent sales. Several county papers
note the fact that farm lands have
been sold for less money than the as
SCISSORS books show them to he worth.

The Reasssssment Of Property.

AAAa GAgtAaaaAaAeA@AAh " =
To the Editor OF the Iutelllgencer.
sIR:-I noticed in recent issue OF
your paper meeting of the Chamber
Of Commerce. at which the reassess-
ment OF property was discussed. I
think the chamber was hssty in fits
action, as the books from the country
had not been filed with Clerks Robert
son or MofRat. A great howl has been
raised over Mr.. Helmbright's assess
ment. one OF the members is reported
as saying no competent man Gun be Sc
cured to do that work for $500. Ad-
hitting that TO be true. resolution
was passed to appoint a committee Of
ten. one from each district, to take up
the matter and see that justice is done.
Among the committeeman are men who
would have done the work II they had
got the appointment. for $500. If they
were not competent for one work, why
competent for another?
The only objection the Chamber Of
Commerce makes is that most OF the
money goes to the state. by an In
creased assessment. That is doubtless
true, but even that seems to me to
bring out what is taught In that old
story Of the objections to the waste of
the precious ointment. Now II there
are any Inequalities in the assessments
the law provides a remedy. The ag-
grieved can appeal to the Board of
Commissioners. and believe them to be
men of honor. who viii do what they
believe to be Just and right.

On Trial in Paris, Charged With Be

PARIS, Jan. 22.-The trial OF twelve
Assumptlonist fathers began here to-
day before the correctional tribunal. It
is alleged they were involved in the
so-called royalist and metropolitan
conspiracy. The court was crowded,
and n number OF ladies were present.
The judge opened the proceedings with
questioning Father Plead. superior Of
the order, who denied that he belonged
to an. illegal association and declared
he never took part in the political agi-
tation. The Assumptionists, he added,
attended TO purely religious questions.
Father Plcards counsel then asked for
the acquittal OF the prisoners. The
hearing was then suspended. The trial
is attracting much attention.
