Gen. Wallace Again.

Gen. Lew Wallace. although con-
tinuing a strong repu blican, says:
The education of the people lately
so generously undertaken by the ma
jority of repu blican senators in Wash
ington is benefiting me. The month
during which their school was to last
is not half out, yet 1 am able to see
what is the matter with them. 1t is
that President Mckinley wants to
convert the Philippines and Porto
Rico into colonies and govern them
personally, and, though they know as
well as the president that there is no
grant of power in the constitution to
establish a colonial system, they are
determined to help him to his wish.
This obliquity of vision, obsequi-

except with the consent of the people
of the United States first had.
Sec 2. In cases of territorial
expansion hereafter proposed the will
of the people of the United States, re-
quired by the foregoing section, shall
be determinable at elections to be
provided by congress, and in every
instance the president shall proclaim
the result, whereupon, if there be a
majority for the proposition, tie con-
stitution shall, from the day of the
proclamation, extend to the island.
territory or country admitted and to
its inha bitants.'
Undoubtedly the senator's will I'M
derstand the amendment. Along with
their other spperiorities they have an
intuition of such high-wrought micro
scopic power as to magnify effects and
subject them to perfect knowledge and
appreciation at sight"

PRESIDENT MCKINLEY has declared
that the enactment of the Porto Rican
tariff bill has been made such a great
party issue that it would be suicidal
to the republicans to abandon the
stand they have taken, and the house
measure must therefore stand as q
party measure, and that if it is de-
feated it must be by democratic votes.
The passage of the measure. he says,
would not only be wise, but good poll
tics. 1t is also stated that the presi-
dent is especially annoyed that so
many republicans should have ar
rayed themselves on the side of free
trade. In other words. the president
is vexed that any of his party states
men should have taken him at his
word in his last message to congress.
and should have seen the right as he
saw it then. He is surprised, too, that
there are prominent republicans in
the United States who feel it is more
manly to undo a wrong and recede
from it than stick 20 it merely because
it has become a party measure.

OUR DUTY TO PORTO RICO.

sage to ConEreBs.)

sage to Congress.)
"Since the ceSsion Porto Rico has
been denied the principal markets she
had long enjoyed. and our tariffs
have been continued against her pro-
ducts as when she was under Spanish
sovereignty. The markets OF Spain
are closed to her products except upon
terms to which the commerce OF all
nations is subjected. The island OF
Cuba, which used TO buy her cattle and
tobacco without custom duties, now
imposes the same duties upon these
products as from any other country en-
tering her ports. She has, therefore.
lost her free intercourse with Spain
an Cuba, without any compromising
benefits in this market. Her coffee was
little known and not in use by our peo-
pie, and, therefore, there was no de-
mand here for this one OF her chief pro-
ducts. The markets of the United
States should he opened up to her
products.

customs tariffs between the United
States and Porto Rico, and give her
products free access to our mar

Improvement is being of service to

The lines on which we think most
earnestly and continuously will de-

A happy marriage depends much

A more glorious victory cannot be
gained than this: that when the injury
begins on his part, the kindness
should begin on ours.
Be content with doing with calm
ness the little which depends upon
yourself, and let all else be to you as
if it were not.
