Official Paper OF CITY IND COUNTY.

TIE passage Of the Puerto Rican bill
10y the house shows the design OF the
republican leaders to establish genuine
imperialism IN his country over our
new island possessions. 1t has been
loudly protested against by the better
and more liberal class OF republicans
and the republican press everywhere,
but to no avail. 1t Is an outrage to
make these islands colonies, thus to be
exploited by our trusts and syndlcates,
but 1t Will be done, unless the senate in.
%terGenes. From the truculent way the
republican majority Of the ways and
means committee have taken to make
the bill a party measure and force it
through, reducing it from loo per cent
tariff to %, then to -, and agaiu only
for two years, shows that 1t is O mere
makeshift SO far his Puerto Rico and
Hawaii is concerned, to hide a deeper
design upon the Philippines later on.
Imperialism absolute and unadulterated
Is what ls designed, and the cowardly
schemers for it have not the moral
political courage to say so. Rather
would they intllct oppression upon the
starving and PROSTATE people of Puerto
Rico under the 9ulse OF revenue for the
than they would do justice to it
under the terms Of the constitution.

Trial Of ~CustOmehouse Officials at Havana
Again Postponed.
HAVANA, March 2.-The readiness
with which the Spanish laws lend them.
selves to delay in litigation has availed.
despite every effort on the part of the
American authorities, to postpone the
trial Of the customhouse fraud cases. It
is now openly asserted by friends Of the
accused that at least four months must
elapse before the prosecution can bring
the cases to a hearing in court. Influ-
ence is being brought to bear upon all
Cuban oficeholders at all connected
with the proceedings and every infu.
ence is being used to effect if not a dis
missal at least a postponement of judi
cial proceedings. The men arrested be.
long to the best families in Cuba.

there by process of intelligent

It "a an eaaY thing for Republi.

1t is an easy thing for Republi-
can money thinkers to declare
through Congressional enactment
that all debts public and private
must be paid in gold But it will
not be such All easy thing to get
the gold with which to pay these
obligations England is going to
be in the market for two or three
hundred millions of dollars worth
of gold, and the supply from South
Africa has been cut off to the ex-
tent of $1OO,00OOOo year IfI
there ever was good timeto go on
the gold basis this aesuredly is not
that time. How is the gold stand
ard to be obtained? 1t seems to
be evident that the debtor class
will be plunged into ruin by this
measure, and that panic of tre-
mendously destructive force will
be precipitated, True, the bill has
not yet passed the Senate, and in
view of the war now progressing
against the Beers, the extraordinary
demand for gold on the part of Eng
land aud the curtuiled output from
South Africa, the Senate may de-
eide to postpone action for the
present. Undoubtedly it would
be good politics for the Repuhli-
oan majority in Congress to call u
halt. Should the bill pass and be-
come a law and should panic fol-
low Mckinley would stand no show
of reelection, and tho Republican
party would go down in complete
defeat For the sake of business
stability it is to be hoped that the
bill will be side-tracked. Its pass.
age would mean assured victory for
the Democrats, but Democrats do
not desire victory at such tremen-
dous cost to the country at large -

Correspondence, SGn.
Yandalia Lodge, knights of
Pythias, of this place, entertained
Banner Lodge, of Hartford, on
Thursday evening, January 4th.
After comforting degrees in all
the ranks in their Castle Hall, the
lodge, together with the visiting
members, repaired to Washington
Hall, where was spread luxurious
feast. Aunt Lib Hobbs, assisted
by ten young ladies, all daugb-
ters of knights, was in charge
The girls wore white aprons and
caps, on which were pinned the
emblematic colors of the order.
When the tables had been re-
lieved of many of their good things
Mr.. N. e. Arnold, city editor of
The State Gazette, responded to
the toast, "The Investigating Com
mittee." His remarks we're elo-
quent, timely and instructive. Mr..
Arnold is true Knight, and he
believes in the propagation of the
principles he advocates He was
followed by ex. Senator HensIey, of
Hartford, who, in his usual happy
vein, discussed What is Pythian-
ism? What are We, and What do
We Pretend to Be?" Mixed with
his sparkling humor were many
nuggets of valuable thought.
The venerable Knight, Mr.. A. S.
Blagg, then discussed Ideal
Knighthood." He showed, in an
eloquent and interesting manner,
how the great Teacher, in his life,
had exemplified the principles of
Kuighthood and inculcated lessons
of felIow-feeling, of sympathy aud
of forgiveness.
w. E. Ruttencutter followed,
discussing the Purposes of Secret
Societies" Mr.. Ruttencutter is
an agreeable speaker and always
impresses his hearers with his
earnestness, but on this occasion
he was particularly entertaining.
His remarks wero to the point and
we'll received.
The guests were then treated to
two solos, rendered by DR.. Il.
Spencer Owen and Miss Gertrude
Adams. These two singers are the
pride of Mason. DIR Owen is we'll
known for his fine bass voice on
both sides of the river, while the
sweet voice of Miss Gertrude has
attracted more than one audience
to Washington Hall to hear her
sing.
The participants in the program
were heartily applauded as each
performed their part, and good will
and fraternal spirit was evidenced
in the actions of all the guests.
Such gatherings as these, prompt
ed by Knightly feelings, tend to
elevate manhood and lead society
nearer to the realization of the
great brotherhood of man; and Van
dalia Lodge is always to be found
in the ranks in fostering this spirit.
