local government. because Of their
present destitute condition. The COM
mittee, he said, had conceived the idea
OF placing Il small tariff on Porto Rican
products in order to raise Il sum sufii-
Client, with the sum otherwise raised
to give the people or the island not
only n good government, but also to
build schoolhouseS and To make neccs-
sary public improvements Then, too.
1t was necessary that the question of
the extension of the Constitution over
insular possessions should be de-
termined by the Supreme Court. and
by the very provisions OF the bill. 1t
would be inevitable thar the Supreme
Court should pass upon that question.
Porto Rico and the Philippines. hc
said, were on he same basis so that the
courts decision would determine our
right To levy Il tariff on products Of the
Eastern archipelago.
Mr. Mason UllinoiS) moved 10 dis
charge the Committee on Foreign Re
lutions from further consideration OF
his resolution introduced December 9th
last. expressing sympathy for the
Beers. Under the rules the motion
went over until tomorrow.

Mr.. Foraker said that as it was gen
orally understood the sugar and to-
bacco trusts owned all OF the sugar and
tobacco on the island the proposed tariff
would fall upon those well able to bear
it. In II collouuy with Mr.. TIoar AIR.
Foraker finally declared that the pues-
ton in point had passed beyond the
law book stage" and had become one
of justice and humanity Mr.. Foraker

ate and in the country. Instead of
being illibcral." said Mr.. Foraker, 1.-The
measure is the most liberal and gen
erous legislation ever proposed for a
territory OF the United States"
He pointed out that down to 1850 the
whole power Of the government of the
territories OF the United States was
placed in the officials appointed by the
President. and that. too, without any
reference TO the desire or consent of
the people governed. So far as he had
been informed, no intelligent and APP
prcciativc man in Porto Rico had dis
scented from the propositions of the
measure. There may have been some
criticism on the part of the Porto
Ricans. but generally it was accepted
as an excellent bill.
DEBT AT PORTO RICO.
as I said II week ago" said Mr..
Foraker, the mortgage indebtedness
of The island is s2G000O 900. The United
States Government extended for the
time for the payment OF that debt for
one year. and subsequently extended 1t
again for six months. If it had not
been FOR the United States the whole
of this vast property would have been
sold 10 satisfy creditors. If necessary
the time will be extended again. and
perhaps again. until Congress gets done
discussing constitutional questions and
goes to the relief of a suffering people"
THE REVENUES.
In round figures the revenues under
the bill. which inurc to the sole benefit
OF Porto Ricans under the bill. would
aggregate $2,000.000. about Sl.i0O Gao
from customs and $500. 600 from internal
revenue.
Continuing, the Ohio Senator said
that after all means of raising revenue
had been considered it was found nc
ccssary 10 provide at least $1,000. 900
more per annum. Then 1t was proposed
To levy duty OF twenty-five per cent

PHILADELPHIA-NEW YORK.

s'The fact that there will be an all
trolley route to New York in the
Spring is eloquent of the wonderful
development of these convenient in
terror lines of communication. AS a
journey to New York by trolley will
be an all-day affair, the through route
competition will not seriously affect
long distance travel on the railroads,
nor will the novelty attract many
through route riders, but for short
distances so continuous a trolley line
will be boon that cannot be over
estimated. Life i'll the country near
the trolley highway has ceased to be
remote, even if the railroad station
be miles away, and communication be-
tween places formerly hours apart by
horse conveyance or railroad as the
time tables arranged it is now a
matter of minutes. All this tells for
the general comfort and convenience
of life. and, even if there will be no
crowding on the line from New York
to Philadelphia, that it is an actuality
is not without significance. -" Phila-

STRIKES ALWAYS COSTLY.

Concerning the strike at Newton,
the Herald of that town remarks:
1.-The effects of strikes upon towns
are, injurious and often disastrous.
They strike at the vitals of society
and prosperity. They destroy conf
dence and that means disaster to any
place. -
The Herald is of the opinion that
the building interests of Newton have
already been damaged from $50, 900
TO $50, 600. This confirms the recent
experience in this city. although the
amount involved here at that time
amounted to over 800, 900. while in
one instance at least party who had
intended building, became disguised
with the strike, and located elsewhere,
where he has since erected residence
which cost $50, 600 besides other i'm
provements.

HOBART MEMORIAL.
Continued from First Page.

him and heard from many who babe
Mr.. Hobart goodbye, the salutation.
Goodbye; luck to you; come back
next year and we will make you
speaker.
AS presiding officer, he was the
very embodiment of courtesy, but at
the same time he bore himself with a
dignity that compelled universal re-
spect. Those who had seen him in
the Speakers chair at 80 and at the
desk of the President of the Senate
at "a were not surprised
HtMr. Hobart's nomination as Vice
President brought him into the broad
field of national Importance and he
became at once second only to the
head of the ticket in the eyes of his
countrymen. By his address of accep-
lance he at once satisfied the country
that he was equal to the Importance
of the place and worthy of the high
honor
"Those of us who knew him we'll
were not surprised to see him become
the trusted friend and counselor of
the President We were not sur
prised to learn that he had won the
universal admiration of the Senate
for his great capacity as presiding
officer.
tTo the President himself he be-
came beloved friend, an advisor and
helper in the administration OF the
Government of incalculable value.
connecting in most unique way the
Executive with the councils of the
Legislative branch of the Government
to the mutual profit and the better I'M
derstanding of both.
Mr.. Hobart was shining example
of what an American boy endowed
with self-reliance and industrious dis
position and an honest ambition may
accomplish without the help of in
fiuence or of special opportunity.
. Mr.. Hobart died in the very height
of his powers; when, with every sub
stantial ambition gratified, he was
able to give to his country the benefit
of his transcendant qualities of practi-
cal craftsmanship. Who can tell what
higher honors, what more extended
usefulness might have been his2 His
was pure, beneficient, noble life.
Though the hand of death was
upon him, and he knew it, he did not
quail nor repine. Every hour for
weary months he stood in jeopardy,
not knowing at what moment the
stroke of fate might fall, but to his
friends his smile was as bright and
his word as cheerful as they ever
were. During his long illness he
was always ready and glad to confer
and advise with official associates.
and especially with the President,
upon all the interests of his country,
for which his love and devotion were
active and warm to the last.
''But he faced death with fearless
heart, with the serene composure of a
great soul passing to it's final destiny.
November 21st, 1899, he fell into,
that dreamless sleep that kisses down
his eyelids still. -

WORK FOR THE SENATOR.

Senator Pitney brought lots of trou-
BILE to his desk this week. He pre-
sented the report of the commission
appointed to revise and coaify the
statutes relating to evidence, execu-
tions, insolvent debtors and courts,
which had been prepared by special
commission of the Governor. With
this report he introduced eleven bills,
which had been recommended by the
commission and which will invite
during their progress through the
two houses more or less discussion
and keep the Senator from Norris
very much on the move.
Assemblyman Garrison made bus
maiden speech this week on bill for
which he stood sponsor. 1t was the
bill that prevents lawyer or counsel
Tor from practicing in justice court,
if that functionary is a relative. He
made speech that was well tempered
with good judgement and while he
attacked some of the practices that
had crept into the small courts, he
was careful to qualify that he made
no reflections on the Judiciary of
New Jersey, which he said stood
without an equal i'll the sister States.
Without Boosting of any claims of or
to oratory, he made am impressive
speech and it is needless to- say that
his bill passed without any dissenting
votes.
