.KRUGER,s PRAYER FOR PEACE.

According to late reports President
kruger is disposed to treat with Great
Britain for peace, but upon terms which,
ii is said. Lord Salisbury will not for
moment entertain.
Soon after the fight at Majuba HILL
when the English troops were betrayed.
Mr. Gladstone in magnanimity opened up
negotiations with the Beers as if there
had been no fight and peace was conclud-
ed But the Beers said that Mr.. Glad
stones act was prompted by fear and not
by magnanimity, and they at once set
about to prepare for the war which they
are now waging, with view to driving
Great Britain out of South Africa and
setting up a great South African republic.
1t will be hard for the British to forget
these things, and now that they have the
advantage of the situation, it is not to
be expected that they will treat with
President Kruger except upon, their own
terms.

SENATOR 81, .FoRAKEIs,s PLEA.

IS The defence of the Porto, Rican tariff
would be adj right If the bill did not inn
pose duties. inlposts. and excuses Ills
argument was that it was no more than
collection from Porto lsicans for the
uses Of tho island, and that tho necessi-s
lies of the island made such a collection
from Ats resources imperative. 1t is GER
taanly no mora than just that the re-
courccs Of the island should be made to
bear the charges of the island if they.
are sufficient for that, and there Is no
question about these resources being am
PIE to defray the Islands expenses.
But the Constitution expressly provides
that imposts, duties and excuses must be
uniform throughout the United States,
and this Porto Rican bill imposes i'm
posts duties and excuses upon Porto
Rican property that is not imposed upon
the property Of other citizens of the
United States. 1t is therefore plainly
unun;form, and is therefore clearly in
conflict with the Constitution.
AS for the argument that partsans
have been making. that Congress has no
right under the Constitution to impose
taxes upon the Porto Ricans while they
have no representatives in Congress.
upon the principle fought for In the
Revolution. that taxes and representation
must go together. there is absolutely
nothing in that. That question was be-
fore the Supreme Court of the United
States In the case OF Laughhorough vs.
Blake, s Wheaton, 316, and Chief Justice
Marshall. speaking Tor the court. said it
did not hold in the case of our territories
for which Congress could legislate while
they were in state Of pupilage He said
that sort of case was totally different
from the case of a continent with q
large population being legislated for by
an island separated from it by three thou
sand miles of ocean. with the legislators
out of sympathy with the people to be
taxed and having no knowledge Of their,
needs and resources.

Hon. S. u. Robinson's Action in the
Matter.
Hon. S. NJ. Robinson, of Carroll, was
one of the few out-of-town members OF
the General Assembly who remained in
Richmond as late as yesterday.
Dr. Robinson left last night ON the 7:40
train for New York, where he goes to
take a postgraduate course in medicine
at one of the colleges of that city.
He will probably remain there for SIX
weeks, when he will return to his prac-
'ttce in Carroll county.
In speaking OF the change made in the
Electoral Board of his county by the
Legislature, Dr. Robinson said he recon-
mended the old board, consisting Of
Messrs. J. w. Semore, o. r. Robinson,
and A. eLineberry, and that Senator Har-
vey suggested and had substituted the
name of Mr.. r. E. Cox for that of A1r.
Lineberry.
The Doctor was most popular mem

during the session.
