President McKinley's extraordinary
mobility of character" as a friendly
Oregon newspaper recently described his
ability to accommodate himself to cir
cumstances, may enable him to sign a
bill directly in conflict with his recon-
mendations to Congress. His mobility"
may. indeed, be so great that, after hay
ing urged free trade with Porto REQ, he
possibly insisted, as reported, upon the
imposition of duties as q party necessity,
under threat of furnishing" Republican
members of Congress who withheld their
approval from the measure. a President

Stand by the President" was the
appeal of Cannon and Dolliver in urging
the imposition of tariff on Porto Rico
And yet the President had said that it
was our plain duty" to give the Porto
Ricans free trade. The President has
been on all sides of every question that
has been raised since he entered public
life. He is the shallowest trimmer and
time server the Republic has known.

character of the currency had been re-
moved. practically speaking. and the

If then, to the gold standard is TO be

WHY HE QUIT

The Caucasian makes great ito do
over letter written lby Mr.. M. Z. CID
dens, of Sampson, who has quit the
the Democratic party. He gives as his
reason that "any man who will vote foT,,
say r. B. Glenn or J. NJ. Faison. or for
any other such trickster for any posi-
tion, | will not support him" The Samp-
son Democrat gives the real reason for
Mr.. Giddens' change of party, saying:
"The real cause of Mr.. Giddens change
of faith is very we'll known LII his own
neighborhood.
.fHis spteful reference to X. IL. Glenn
and john W. Faison, two Christian gem
tlemen of unimpeachable character,
shows that his grievance is a personal
one. The history of the case Is Drlei
and needs to be explained IN JlStlce TO
Nessrs. Glenn and Faison and the Dem
ocratic party. Mr.. Giddens was 1or
some time distiller and retailer OF wins
KEY at Giddensyille, an unncorporats q
village without police protection. "A peu-
ton was sent to the Legislature asking
that a church near by the village be IN
corporated. DIR. J. NJ. Faison advocated
the passage of the bill and Senator H.
b. Glenn supported it in the Legislature.
It's passage was calculated TO break UP
the retailing of wihiskey in country
neighborhood in the interest of morality.
This is the great crime of the Demo-
cratic party at which Mr.. Glddens mas
taken offense and on account OF which
he feels it to be HIS duty as patriot TO
90 over to the negro party"

When Henry Loomis Nelson, in his
famous transcript of Mr.. McIinley's
views written for The World represent,
cd the President as having brought
himself to the conclusion that Congress
has Tlenary power over our new posses
sions, and is not bound by the limita tons
of the Constitution in legislating for the
islands, the Chicago Times-Herald--
which was formerly credited with speak
ing for Mr.. McKinley-resented this i'm
putation. 1t was particularly indignant
that the President. without having
changed his views as to our plain duty,
Should be represented as willing 10 accept
a tariff for Porto Rico if a Republican
Congress shall decide to pass it. 1t de-
clared that president Mckinley cannot
afford to mistake the clamor of the sugar
and tobacco lobby for the voice of the
American people," and said that moth
ing short of an absolute and uncompro-
| missing veto will save him from the ugly
charge of sacrificing plain duty to the
sordid demands of two protected indus
tries already in bad odor with the Amer
lean people
