Mrs. Martha Wiltbank, widow of the

The storm of popular indig-
nation that is sweeping over the
country as the result of the pas
sage of the Porto Rican bill i'm
the House of Representatives
caused President Mckinley to
Shudder for his chances of re-
election. He saw at once that
public opinion condemned his
conduct in enforcing the Din
gley bill against an American
territory, and thus fatteni ing the
trust barons by reducing the
Porto Ricans to condition of
starvation. So he decided to
throw sop to the public to
quiet as far as possible the in
dignation of the people against
him by sending a message to
Congress recommending that
the duties collected Oh Porto
Rican goods be appropriated to
relieve the suffering people of
that island. The amount of the
plumber that went into the
Treasury represents but small
fraction of the total amount
that these people have been
mulcted out of by the trusts I'M
der the operation of the Dinglev
bill. But the trusts having Sc
cured their booty. it mattered
not to them if the portion of
the plumber that went into the
Treasury was returned, so Pres
ident Mckinley could recon-
mend that this be done without
offending them. This sop to an
outraged public by the Presi-
dent who forced the passage of
the bill through the House of
Representatives was an attempt
on the part of the President to
recover lost prestige by convey
ing the impression that he still
stood by the text of his "plain
duty" message. Those who dre
Ignorant of the Presidents con-
duct in this affair may he led to
believe that this latter action
OF the President in recommend
ing Congress to return the du-
ties collected is a slap at Con-
gress by the President for op-
posing what he informed them
Was their "plain duty" in the

ing this factthe Republican men,
bers of the House, panic-strick-
en- because of a knowledge of
the condemnation of their re-
cent act by the public, asked
unanimous consent for the inn

to give effect to the Presidents
recommendation. 1t was grant
ed, but Congressman Richard
son, the Democratic leader,
made very unkind and cruel
remark to his Republican COL
leagues when he commended
them for their great haste in
passing the bill lest the Presi-
dent change his mimi again, and
be found 'secretely whipping
hem into line to defeat the
measure as he did on the Porto
