Secretary Tallmadge. of the st. Paul
chamber of commerce, advocates free
state fair. He has given considerable
tn ought to the matter, and holds that
as it is great educational institution

present appropriation of $4,000 raised
to $4,000, make the racing department
a separate affair, charge for concessions
as at present, and thinks the sum thus
derived, together with the appropria-
tion, would give fair that would prove
of great benefit to the state.

THE PORTO RICAN TARIFF.

The Porto Rican tariff billpassed the
house yesterday afternoon by vote of
172 to 1e1. This is larger majority
for it than had been expected. AS
passed, the bill provides for a, tariff on
the trade between the islands and the
states of Upper cent of that imposed by
the Dlngley law. ct also provides that
the money from the levying of this
tariff, at ports in the United States.
shall be used in defraying the expenses
OF the Porto Rican government. A
time limit is also made of two wears,
Ii tariffis to be levied, the amend
ment made is much preferable. The
only excuse given, for the levying of
this duty, IS that otherwise. there will
be deficiency in the revenues of the
islands, and that the people are in such
condition that they cannot stand in
ternal taxation to the extent that would
be required.
The Free Press has been opposed to a
Porto Rican tariff from the first and is
as much opposed to it now as ever. 1t
believes that the Republican leaders in
the house have made mistake and are.
entirely at sea as to the sentiment of
the people. We believe that they are
honest in their purpose, and take no.
stock in the charges of the fusion press
and leaders that they have yielded to-
the importuning of certain trusts,
Phey have seen the needs of Porto Rico,
and have believed that this would be.
the most practical way affording relief.
But in this we believe they are mis-
taken. The sentiment of the country,
without respect to party, is opposed to
this course. Had they provided for free
trade, we do not believe there would
have been any serious objection to the
atfording of relief to Porto Rico through
an appropriation from the federal
treasury, to aid the people there until
theyAovereome the difficulties they now
labor under. 1t is to be hoped that the
report is true that the bill cannot go
through the senate That body should
adopt substitute for free trade, and so
compel the house leaders to recede from
the mistake they have made.
The duty of the Republicans now is
to take the matter up and through the
state conventions and in the national
convention next June pronounce in
terms which cannot be mistaken, that
the tariff laws of the states shall be ex-
tended to Porto Rico. The presidents
message on this subject is a good guide
to go by.

Mr.. ANDERSON TO RESIGN.
Mayor currier Will Have to Appoint a
New Street Commissioner.

Street Commissioner Anderson will
PROBABLY tomorrow tender his resigna
tion to Mayor Currier, to take effect at
the pleasure of the latter. Last fall.
Wnen there was talk of laying off the
street commissioner as matter of eco.
nomy. Mr.. Anderson concluded that
he would have to look for other means
OF gaining a livelihood. He therefore
rented Fowler & Pays stone quarry
and saw mill and machinery at Brad
ley crossing for period of five years
with the privilege of ten. He has
been operating this during the winter
in charge of his partner, who will take
a small interest in the business. Twen
ty-five men have been given employ
ment. 1t is to give his time to this
business that Mr.. Anderson resigns his
office of street commissioner. He has
already secured several contracts, in.
cluding the furnishing of stone for the
brewery.

efficient street commissioner, and his
honesty has been above question. In
losing him, the Currier administration
loses one of its best appointees. Mr..
Anderson has the ability to success
fully handle large crew of men and
to get the most work out of them. The
streets We're never kept in better condi-
ton than last season, and much less
money than usual was expended in this
department, deducting the 81, 700 ex-
penditure made necessary by the June
storm, and the work on Pleasant
and Fourth streets.
In selecting successor to Mr.. Ander-
son, the mayor cannot be too careful.
Honesty and efficiency should and no
doubt will be the main qualifications
required.
