DECISION BEFORE GOV GHN hf-NI.
! Ex-senator German is of the opinion
that the Republicans do not intend 10 pass
1 any Din for the government Of Porto RICO
until they get decision from the supreme
| Court on the question as to whether
/ Congress has the right to tax the pro-
ducts of that island coming 90 the mar
kets of this country. The indications
are that this opinion is a correct one 1t
| is important to the Republicans to nave
the question settled at an early a day as
possible. a decision would help them TO
get their party out Of a very trouble
some position.
The Republican party has not encoun-
tered anything for "a long time so annoy
ing as this question of the relation be-
tween the United States and their insular
possessions Before IL came into promi-
nence they were confident that they would
have very little trouble in electing the next
President Now. however, they begin TO
think that the success of their party Is
by no means certain. The Democrats, on
the other hand, are in the best of spirits.
They are enjoying the advantage they
have gained immensely, and are now feel
ing almost certain that the man they
nominate at Kansas City will be the next
President.
Last Saturday night, at the Union
League Club in Philadelphia, Senator
Frye, who was one Of the commissioners
who negotiated the Paris treaty, made a
speech which is attracting some atten-
ton He gave much inside history of
treaty, and then, branching off to the
Porto Rcan tariff ques ton, he is reported
to have said that the Democratic opposi-
ton to the Porto Rican tariff bill was
based on the doctrine put forth by John
c. Calhoun, TO carry slavery under the
constitution into the territories"
It is fair to assume that the Republ-
cans regard their case as a pretty bad
one when their leaders resort to appeals
to prejudice TO sustain it.
1t is probable that If the truth could be
discovered the Republicans regret that
they took either Porto Rico or the Phil
ippines from Spain. 1t certainly does not
seem now as if Porto Rico would be of
any great benefit and il is certain that
it is proving to be a costly and trouble
some possession. And the Philippines
threaten to be even more troublesome.
These iusular possessions of ours are
going to play an important part in the
presidential election unless the question
of the right of Congress to tax their
commerce with this country is settled by
the Supreme Court within the next two
or three months.

PLATFORM OF THE NEBRASKA
DENaOCR ATs.

The platform adopted by the Nebras-
ka Democrats on Monday contains
about what Mr.. Bryan will endeavor 10
have the Democrats put in their national
platform It is the understanding that
it was written by him. 1t takes strong
ground against imperialism, mllitarism,
the Dngley@ tariff and trusts. and 1t favors
the free coinage at a ration Of l6 10 ],
the election of United States senators by
the people public ownership of munich
pal franchises the initiative and the refer
endum, the prompt building of the Mica
ragua canal and many other things 1t
is most too long for an effective campaign
document SIN those who read it care
fully viii not be in doubt as 10 what the
Nebraska Democrats favor, and what the
Democratic national platform Will likely
contain.
It seems to US that the strongest plank
is that relative to the tariff, because
through the tariff both imperialism and
trusts can be checked The proposition
that labor troubles shall be settled by ar
bitratton - timely. The labor situation
at the present time Is alarming The
strike that is threatened will affect
pretty nearly 2000 600 men.
II Is probable that some of the demands
in the Nebraska platform viii meet with
vigorous opposition in the national conyen-
ton The Northern Democrats are not
yet ready to endorse everything contain
ed in that platform. The Indications. are,
however, that their opposition Will not
count for a great deal. The West and the
South will make the platform. and they
ought 10. because they will have to fur
nish the electoral votes the Democratic
ticket will get.
The adoption of a platform known to
have been shaped by Mr. Bryan VIII be
beneficial TO the Democrats at this time,
because it will bring out sharply whatever
differences there are between Democrats
in various parts of the country on public
questions Between now and the time foI
the meeting of the Democratic National
Convention the Nebraska platform viii
be gone over very thoroughly, and when
the time comes for making the national
platform it will be pretty generally known
whether or not there are objections to any
of it's features demanding thoughtful con-
sidera ton. No doubt Mr.. Bryan would
be willing to make concessions that would
be helpful to the party. At present how
ever, it is pretty safe to say that the Ne
braska platform contains his views on the
political situation.

There appears to be constant need in
Washington fer social Solomon who
shall hold cburt continuously to determine
the points of etiquette that are constantly
bobbing up. Now there is a controversy
on between Speaker Henderson of the
House and President Pro TEN. Frye Of the
Senate as to which should have precedence
at social functions, The Speaker claims
that his office is higher than that of a
mere temporary presiding officer of the
Senate, therefore he should dome first. on
the other hand the Senator says that as
presiding officer Of the Senate he is en-
titled 90 all of the rights, perquisites and
privileges in a social way, that common
~ belong TO the Vice President. There
is a good deal Of snobbshness in these
quarrels over precedence in Washington;
sttll 1t must be remembered that in Wash
ington society, made up as it is from the
four corners of abe world. whether one
man and his wife shall walk in to dinner
ahead of or behind another man and his
wife is regarded as a matter of much
greater Importance than what should be
done for Porto Rico, or whether the Phil
ppines should be retained permanently.

Prof. Andrews, superintendent Of the
Chicago public schools. has prepared
bulletin for circulation among the prin-
cipals Of the various schools in which il
is stated that apparent dulness of intel
lect and inattention of children 10 their
studies are often due, not to any defect
OF their minds, but to shortsightedness or
10 partial deafness. After many years of
investigation, Prof. Andrews has found
that in most cases where a person, either
child or adult, does not appear to possess
a clear understanding of things, it is due

causes.

President Jablonski of the Polish Ma

Few rich men work harder than John
D. Rockefeller, the Standard Oil Croesus,

aire is personally so little in evidence as
he, Nearly every day he puts in a lengthy
period at his office in lower Broadway,

ually passed in business pursuits else
where. There is, therefore, color of truth
in the report that he recently sighed for
a man to look after his interests, Offering

James p. Pile, the new Lord Mayor of
Dublin. is a Protestant Home Ruler, who
took sides with Mr.. Parnell at the time
of the split in the Irish party, but has so
borne himself as to secure popularity
among all sections of the people. He has
made a special study of municipal affairs.
and is one of the most active agents in
the promotion of a scheme to extend the
boundaries of Dublin so as to bring in
stle surrounding townships and make a
greater Dublin, governed by one central
authority. His election is particularly
not eworthy from the fact that he is the
first pronounced temperance advocate to
hold the civic chair in Dublin for many
years. He has constantly appeared on
temperance platforms, and has advanced
the cause in every way possible.
