Americans wonder and scott at the
faulty with which British command
ers permit them selves to be entrapped
and humiliated by Boer strategists in
| South Africa. while under their own
| eyes in Washington the republican
leaders are rushing open-eyed into as
! fatal trap as ever yawned before a
great party.
In vain are the warning cries OF
faithful friends.
In vain the appeals to duty, justice
and good faith.
In vain the traditions of the repub-
lie.
In vain are all the invocations to
save the nations plighted word from
dishonor.
In vain are the rumbliDgs of popu-
lar wrath, the threats of party disas-
ter.
Rooted in dishonor by petty politi-
cal considerations and sordid special
interests. the republican majority in
the senate today proposes to jam
through the Ubiquitous Porto Rican
tariff bill.
Never in the history of military
or political warfare has there been
such an instance of benighted and fool
hardy leadership.
Assuming to know all things, to
have weighed all things and to possess
all wisdom, these leaders have closed
their eyes and ears and understand
ings to the almost unanimous voice of
the people demanding that we keep
faith and carry out American tradi-
tons and presidents in Porto Rico.
They desert the safe old ways and
wander blindly into strange paths
after unknown ends.
What do the American people care
about the 1.-the of mint and anise
and cummin'' paid by the $4,000, 900
relief bill into the desolate island,
while this nation is arraigned at the
bar of its own conscience for having
omitted the weightier matters of the
law, judgment, mercy and faith?"
The Times-Herald once more warns
the republican leaders in Washington.
including the president, that they are
trifling with the nations honor. The
gift of $4,000, 900 to Porto Rico with
out the justice and good faith that
should accompany and crown it has
not sugar-coated the pill of broken
faith that denies to Porto Ricans the
immunities and privileges they were
promised.
This is not political question, but
a moral one, and the American people
will not accept the intrigues of Wash
ington politicians or the interests of
trade as superceding the teachings of
the decalogue and the gospels.
After the senate the house of repre-
sentatives.
After the house the president.

IT was originally announced that
the congressional love feast set for
Rock Island April "a and formally de-
clared off by the committee in Rock
Island yesterday was for the purpose
of centering the party sentiment on
Searle. But as an excuse for the change
in program. the Union of this morn
ing, whose plan it was. comforts itself
by intimating that the chances for
Prince are so apparent that neither
democrats nor republicans can stop
him, and hence what matters it
whether school keeps or not? 1t is a
desperate picture of the situation that
the Union presents.

Following the failure cf the Amerieun Ma
tiona Bank Of Baltimore came close after the
passing inio the hands Of receiver Of 'he
Economy Savings Bank A few days later

Bank, and State Treasurer VanGiver Is hay
inc The affairs OF some Of the trust aud other
get-rich-quick companies investigated II .'--
ports are correct many people are being
Aeeeed BY some Of this lstter class.
Il is very likely that some OF the trust conl-
panies aud banks of Baltimore, doing business
according to law, are not any too safe. Fer
several years companies of semi bansing
character have been rapidly organized, with
capital and surplus that would have been re-
garded ten years ago as fabulous The air
was filed with prosperity aud rich harvesis
were expected from investments in stocks aud
bonds. There was almost whirlwiHd OF
speculation and venture, which conservative
neople knew could not be maintained. The
competition for loans aud investments was 50
fierce that due care has not been taken IN
making them. The failures already reported
are bound to cause monetary Inconvenience.
Depositors whose money is locked up may
become embarrassed thereby, and It'll prob
able that other banks or financial institutions
NAV also be Inconvenience.
The press Of Baltimore, or part Of it, half
apologize for the closed banks BY attribuilng
their failures to bad management. How else
could bank fail, exceps that it be robbed
And what excuse is there for bad manage
ment? There can be none, except that OH j.
GERS lose their heads and rush pell-mell after
Investments and loans in the insane belief that
times are good, everybody is prospecting aud
they must hustle to keep up withthe procession.
The cry eff prosperity by the Mckinleyites
and organs for the past three or four years is
responsible for this financial whirlwind, aud
all conservative people will be glad, indeed
if the failures stop where they are. Fhey. will
not be much surprised if financial conditions
became worse, dividends are passed or re-
duced and stocks take II drop in consequence.
Much of the Haunted prosperity has been on
paper-a thing in the air, with no basis.
