Congressman Bob Cousins spoke last
Tuesday night in Cherokee on the same
night that ] NJ. Parsons. Of Rock Rap
ids. was to open the democratic cam
paign at9that place. Competition was
rather disastrous to the democratic
meeting. In fact. all the people went to
hear Mr.. Cousins and left no one for
Mr.. Parsons, who is not such a bad fell
low. even If he is a democrat. His meet
ing had to be abandoned because there
was no audience. This is a common re-
port from the democratic meetings this
year. Reports generally show that the
attendance upon their opening meetings
last Tuesday was very slim. The repub-
I llican meetings an vel. attended and
enthusiastic. The people are eager TO
hear the doctrine of prosperity and have
no use or time for calamity bowling and

Germany's assurance that it does not

The German demand for the punishment
OF the Boxer leaders as a condition prec-

The friendly feeling between Russia
and Japan is increasing. France is hand

Navnl iancuvers at Newport.

Newport, R. l., Sept. 2S. The board
of arbitration, after its meeting, gave
out Its decision as to the operations
that have been held here the last two
days by the ships of the North Allan
tic squadron. The attack OF th.. Hol-.
land on the Kearsarge was not al
lowed. In regard to the first night the
decision is that the Stilleto was sue
cessfulsin her attack on the battleship
Massachusetts and that she torpedoed
her before she ran ashore at Fort Ad-
ans. In regard to the ramming of the
kearsarge by the tug Leydenit is the
ruling that the Kearsarge was cut OF
the field OF action at. the time. and
that the clam Is not aroWed. In regard
to the work of the torpedo fleet Tues
day night. the decisions entirely change
the reports of the umpires In various
torpedo boats. It seems that the only
torpedo boat that was successful in
torpedoing was the Gwynn, and she
put out the Scorpion and the Eagle.
The Porter. Norris and Gwynn were
put out by the kearsarge and the
Dahlgren by the Indiana. This is just
what was reported Tuesday night.
The Texas was the onlya vessel that
was not found, and it was she that
turned and went far out to sea. The
operations are considered success.
and they will be the subject of dis
cussion in the war college Friday.

use that is being made Of them. They
are apparently blind to the fact. SO
clearly pointed out by the Post Intel
ligencer" that
The constitutional question is the real
bone Of contention. The republican
party cannot abandon its position up
on that without reversing all our pre-
cedcnts and destroying the practical
possibil,tyof building up a mighty COM
merce in the Far East by exchanging
for the open door in the Philippines
the open door in the vast portion OF
Asia under European control
We believe that those who have diff
fered honestly from the party's policy
when they come to see what is in
hwen they come to see what is in
volved; and how cunningly the advo-
Gates Of retirement from the Philip
pines have sought to make that neees-
sary by pretended fight over the Pu-
erto Rican tarif.
II only the army of dissenters from
the policy of the republican admins
tration and the republican party could
once grasp the idea that much bigger
and more portentous question than
that Of y per cent. 10 per cent, or no
tariff at all is involved in the Puerto
Rican proposition. 1t would nightly |
help to clear up the situation.

THE REAL PUERTO R1cAN ISSUE.
American Economist.

American Economist.
Keep the real issue in sight. and let
the president and the party be judged
by that" is the wise conclusion OF a
very able article in the Seattle POST
Intelligencer" on the Puerto Rican
question. Obviously this excellent edi-
torial treatment of much discussed
subject is the product of some knowl-
edge and some thinking. Unfortunately
the same cannot be said of a vast vol
ume OF matter that has found its way
into print relative to the Puerto Rican
topic. No writer has stated the issue
more clearly or more intelligently than
it is stated by the -Intelligencer."
thus;
II is not a question of whether we
ought to impose duty OF 25 per cent
or one of Is per cent or none at all up
on commerce between that island and
the United States. 1t is whether this
government has constitutional power
to levy such tax under any circum-
stances; whether Puerto Rico is terri
tory to be governed as all other terri
tory added has been. by the disposition
Of congress. or whether its people ae-
quired. by the Paris treaty, constitu-
tional rights within the United States
that compel recognition by US and leave
US no choice but to acknowledge new
possessions as an integral part of the
nation under the constitution. and fin
ally admit them as states.
Rightly the t-IntelIigencer" in
sists that the contest is not waged on
the question whether Puerto Rican
trade should be free or untaxed. The
opposition to the pending bill is based
upon no such consideration. 1t cares
nothing about the question either Of
tariff or of revenue. Engineered by
clever free-trade and anti-imperialist
strategists, the movement, intended
solely to put the administration in a
hole" has secured the adhesion of
considerable number of republicans
who seem to be able to discover the
