Congressman McCleary's speech and
vote in favor of the Puerto Ricaa tariff
received uncompllmentary attention this
afternoon at the hands of some of his
constituents, met in St. Paul, to attend
the meeting Of the Republican League
executive committee. e.
The feeling took shape in the follow.
ing telegram to Congressman J. P. Heat
wole, which was drawn and passed a.
round among the members of the COM
mittee for signatures:
We, the undersigned, hereby congrat-
ulate you on the noble and independent
stand you have taken on the Puerto
Rican tariff bill.
We believe that you have, by your
vote, voiced the sentiment of nlne- tenths
of the republican voters of the state.
We believe that the people of the state
comprehend the import of this measure
Notwithstanding the statement of some
of our congressman to the contrary.
We confess, however, our inability to
understand the theory that the constitu-
tion does not apply to Puerto Rico and
yet that we can legislate for them.
We believe that the bill is indefensi-
BILE either in justice or from constitu-
tional standpoint.
The message was signed by George W.
Somerville, G.. A. Blomberg, of St. Peter
]. A. Karson, E. G, Hopkins, all from
McCleary's district, aud was being cir
eulated for signatures. The s1gners said
that they signed as individuals, and
would certainly send on the wire as soon
as all had an opportunity to sign,
The reference to the information of
the people on the subject is an allusion
to McCleary's dictum that people gen
orally we're not informed on the subject.

there is no doubt that the money cost Of
war in these modern days is stronger

of the human race is 80 strong that men

The Bic End of Railroad Earnings.

Under the caption "Labor and Capt.
tal," the Worcester, Massachusetts,
Spy presents some figures based ON
statistics and some conclusions drawn
from the situation as it exists in New
England, to show that labor gets the big
end of railroad earnings. The Spy says:
"There seems to be an erroneous opinion
among men who fail to give the subject
the thought that they should, that lail-
road corporations, by stock watering,
manage to pay stock and bondholders an
unfair Percentage of the earnings of their
properties. But the latest available
statistics hardly warrant the inference.
The number of employees working for
railroad corporations on June 80 1898,
was 874, ,458. This force operated 247,-
532 miles OF trackage with sc, 1884 loco
motives and 1,526,174 cars. The capi-
talization was $10,s18, 1884, ,031, or about
$60,343 per mile. This capitalization
included the right-cfway, road, bridges,
depots and equipment. The sum paid
for wages was $4s5,e55,61S out of
total operating expense of $817,973,276.
The operative wages account. This does
not include official salaries. The amount
paid for taxes $4s, ,s9s,s24. The diyi-
dends were 96,24O,864, and the interest
on bonds was $246, ,126,69I. Thus, capt.
tai received 2,588,O53 less than tile
wages account, or about in the ratio of
3.43 toz4.95. While thenumber of per-
sons who own stock and bonds can not,
Iofcourse, be accurately determined, ), it is
the general belief that they exceed the
number Of persons emplo yed on the rail-
roads very largely. Here in New Eng
land the savings Of many thousands are
invested in railroad securities, and indeed
these roads could not be run if frugal
persons did not invest in their securities.
All this shows the dependence be-
tween capital and labor which gives pro-
ftable employment and profitable invest
ment, and the appeal Of agitators can
never array one class against the other
without injuriug both" While it IS true
that many thousands Of people il New.
England have their savings invested in
railroad securities, there are not many
lpeople in the West who have invested in
Irailload stocks and bonds.

will unquestlonably pass.
81 bellye, !" said the governor, continu-
ing, ssthat it IS both unwise and i.npolitic
for US to place high tariff between this
country and Puerto Rico. The conditions
there are much different than In Cuba.
The latter was held as q colony, but
Puerto Rico had representation Of eigh-
teen inthe Spanish cortes, twelve in the
upper and six in the lower house. The
least that we could do is to extend to
them our trade. I believe that if the
principle of tariff with Puerto Rico Is a
bad one, the Is per cent clause is just as
bad as 25 per cent. It should either be
high tariff or no tariff"

the management all that can be desired.
While the Knights Of Pythias, in COM

does not require public advertisement, it
will not be out OF place ut this time to
briefly review the institution and pro-

1T RUNS IN THE BLOOD.

The recent publication Of nstle
book entitled "Jukes-E Edwards" by Dr.
A. j.. Wlnship. reminds the Boston
Herald Of the famous history Of the
Jukes family by r. A. Dugdale, some
years ago.
Mr.. Dugdale's hero, Max Juke, was
a fellow who left his home and aband-
oned himself to a life OF idleness. He
selected a wild spot In the State Of New
York. where he subslsted on trapping
and fishing, and enjoyed a lawless life.
Mr. Dugdale, who in 1874 was employed
by the prison commission, found six
criminals in different prisons, all re-
lated. He also discovered that they
had large family connections, many Of
whom were either criminals or paupers.
This led him 10 investigate, and the
result was that he learned many de-
tails OF the lives Of gao descendants OF
Max luke, and Of 1863 persons who had
become related 10 that family by mar
rlage. lie also traced the lives Of 9TH
ers so that his investigations covered
200 individuals an OF that family. The
name. Of course. Is flctltional, but the
statements are said TO be based on
facts.
The predominant trait OF character Of
the family IN all is branches, Mr..
Dugdale said, was idleness. They would
neither work nor study. They were
unhealthy and Astounding in disease.
The stronger members had a leaning
toward criminality. and the weaker to-
ward pauperism. or the 200 persons,
$40 we're professional paupers. Three
hundred died IN infancy Fifty Of the
women lived a life OF shame. Forr
hundred were physically wrecked by
their excesses. Seven were murderers,
sixty were habItual thieves one hun
bred and thirty were convicted Of
crimes. some o. them several times
Only twenty OF the 200 learned a trade,
and half Of these learned IT in prison.

ISLAM SPREADING.

Mohammedanism in the nineteenth
century Is the subject Of an interesting
article in the North American Review
by Oscar Mann From Il is gathered
that the number Of followers OF the
Arabian Prophet IN North and South
America is estimated at $500 Of whom
q. 500 dwell In North America. and the
West Indies. In Great Britain, a Mo-
hammedan society founded In Liverpool
fifteen years ago has grown TO two hun
dred members But In Asia and Africa.
the progress Of that religion Is rapid.
In British India, where, by the way. the
so-called Christian sects make slow
progress. the Mohammedans have
grown from 49,9j2,7Oi In 1851, 10 5706l 796
in 1891. In western Africa, too the
growth OF Mohammedanlsm Is said 70
