AdoWn the road my sandals thud-
I'm always in hurry.

And flutter UP abyway
Sometimes polka by the bay.
And see the pebbles shining,
Then turn again and dash away
For am eyer thinning.
I chuckle, chqckle'4n my fight.
And then again I giggle:
The Yankees think they have me tight
They don't know, how 1 wriggle.

And off asifn sally
I rise and RIA at5fariy dawn

And when they think my hope is gone
They find that I'm a gener
I dash aleng, the tirnbered hill.
l hear the 'D9gies footing.
And while the echoes gayly trlll
Another way I'm scootins.
I hop from railway tie to Tie,

All looking for their Aggie.
Then out again I lightly go
And splash along the river:
For TanIls may come and YankS may go,
But race On forever.

CONGRESSMAN EDDY ExpLAINs.

The Minnesota congressman Who voted
Tor the Puerto Rican tariff bill are com
menctng to explain how and why they
CAME 10 do it. The first to talk is Con-
gresham Eddy, of the Seventh district.
wdo SAYS Elihu Root secretary Of war
drew the bill with the approval of Presi-
dent Mckinley. And further. Mr.. Eddy
says he has been personally assured by
the president that he Is in favor of the
measure, and that it would be a mis-
fortune and a disaster for Puerto Rico
and Its inhabitants If the bill should fail
Ihis statement as to the position of the
president towards this measure makes
rich reading, if considered In connection
with President McKinley's message to
congress on-the subject, wherein he saws:
Our plain duty is to abolish all Gus
toms tariffs between the United States
and Puerto Rico. and give her products
free access to our markets"
Further, Mr.. Eddy declares that
neither himself nor the general public
possesses sufficient knowledge of the con-
ditior of the Puerto Rican people to form
an accurate judgment" That is precisely
the trouble with the Minnesota congress-
men They don't know anything about
the subject themselves and they believe
their constituents know no more than
themselves. therefore they have deliber-
ately disregarded the wishes and opin-
ions of their constituents and followed
the leadership of certain false gods.
AIr. Eddy attempts to make the peonla
believe that the sugar and tobacco trus+s
We're opposed to the bill and in favor Of
free trade with Puerto Rico. and this al.
tempt appears to be also based on the
presumption that the people are blind
ana foolish. Mr.. Eddy knows full well
that the most strenuous efforts of the
moss powerful lobby ever seen in Wash
ngton were in support of this Puerto
Rican tariff Bill and that this lobby, to
whose Establishments it is feared many
weak congressman sCccumbed, was di.
;ected by the sugar and tobacco trusts
These trusts don't want free trade Mr.
Eddy. They know that free trade with
Puerto Rico means free trade with the
Philippines, and that means disaster for
The trusts. Free trade Is the only enemy
the trusts fear, and il Mr.. Eddy does not
know this fact, it is time he learned of It
1t Is of no use for Mr.. Eddy to endeavor
to further impose upon the understand
ing OF his constituents. They are better
Informed on this subject than he thinks.
and he only drives nails in his noIit,cat
collin every time he attempts to excuse
or explain his vote on the Puerto Rican
tariff bill. 1t is quite possible that Presi-
dent Mckinley may have changed his
mind on this question. Presidents ar.
but human, and even President MCKINLEY
must have recognized that that Republi.
can principle known as McKinleyism is
not entirely consistent with declaration
In favor of free trade with anywhere
And it is, further, highly probable that
the future welfare of Mckinley and Nc,
Kinleyisn IS not entirely independent of
those powerful commercial cliaues which
upbuilded 1t in 1896 and placed President
Mckinley on the pinnacle which he now
SO uncomfortably occupies.
