NOTES AND OPINIONS.
THE PUERTO RlcANs DECEIVED


The Great Majority Would Vote for n
Return to Spanish Rule.
The following is a letter from a mer-
chant of MayagueZ. +. r., to 4 New
York friend:
Very painful has been the reading of
the paragraph in which you show what
this island may expect from the differ
ence of opinion existing among the
Senators and Representatives in Wash
ington. as evidenced by the various
propositions of the committees OF Con-
Srcss. We must reluctantly admit that
we have been deceived yet it seems
impossible that these frccmen of free
country wish 10 Mace us in worse
condition than we were under the
Spanish domination
Sad as it is to confess 1t. the ma iorty
of the people who witnessed with en-
thusiasm the annexation of the Island
TO the United States. and even rejoiced
at the defeat of Spain, would welcome
with pleasure the renewal OF the yoke
of their former masters. Indeed If at
this moment vote were taken in
Puerto Rico to resolve the question of
it's future nationality. the great ma
jority Of its inhabitants would vote for
n return to S2an. and this without
counting the votes of the resident
Spaniards.

THE ELEPHANT SEES SPOOKS.

There Is no hope for a political party
that has lost it's sense of humor: nor
for any other kind of organization that
has suffered that misfortune. The
Populist party has been laughed out of
existence rs potentially formidable
organization, and the final turning up
of its toes, now apparently near at
hand, promises to be the most irress-
tably comic scene in the history of
American politics. For the same rea-
son the Woman's Suffragists can never
amount to anything as a political
party; nobody takes them seriously be-
cause they take themselves far too
seriously. 1t were easy to multiply in
stances.
Now the Republican party has never
been exactly the Douglas Jerrold of
politics.. but it's vindictiveness and its
power have spared it the rdicule that
would otherwise have been it's portion.
1t has always been inconsistent, fire.
quently hypocritical, but it is only of
late that it has grown overwhelmingly
funny. in its ATTEMPT to extract itself
from the avalanche of popular con-
demnation that it has brought upon its
own head. 1t this very obviously nee
essary and commendable undertaking
1t is making use of some devices which.
If not eflicacious, are certainly original
and provocative of gayety.
The one which is just now being
thrust upon public notice is the dis
covery of a gigantic plot on the part
of those pesky Democratic leaders to
stir up strikes and labor troubles
throughout the country, to the end that
the incident noise may jar on the Re-
publican PAGAN OF prosperity Just
who these guilty machinators are, and
what methods they are employing to
rive the lutte an anxious public may
not know as yet. The most that is
vouchsafed for the present is that the
investigation is sure to create an up
heaval in the political and industrial
world" and that the catalines are
identified with the Democratic ma
tional organization" The precious
promise is appended. however. that in
the fulness of time the dark places
shall be made light and CONSERVATION
spread among the base marplots.
When the e. o. D. takes to seeing
things it is in a bad way. When the
elephant can quit its provender to
caper in fright at a spook, in the dim
beyond, it is no ordinary phenomenon,
and it is small wonder that the mer-
riment OF the spectators is tinged with
awe. When the boodlers. who bought
the Presidency in 1896, begin to bleat in
terror that they are victims of a con-
spiracy, the like of which has never ex-
listed outside of the Imagination of the
hirsute. PETER, that is a rafting farce
on the boards that can not fail to con-
vulse the American people.

THE EMPoRIA LYNcH1NG.
(Richmond Dispatch.)

BY many 1t is supposed that the Gov
crnor had the right to order the pris-
oners to be transferred to another Jail:
but no so: that power is vested in the
county judge. II is to be regretted that
he did not exercise it, He might have
done so safely the night of the arrival
OF the military.
That it was horrible and humiIiat-
ing affair; that the name of the State
has been stained. cannot deny.
Upon the shoulders of those who do
viscd and effected the rusc great load
of responsibility rests. Another bad.
bad thing was the invitation that Ger
tain OF the whites gave tho negroes to
come and lynch the white prisoner.

negroes will attempt to come without
being invited.

some plan that Will purify it. 1t is i'm
possible to believe that the State which
gave to the world the first written Con-
stitution-thwt adopted its sacred Bill
of Rights, three weeks before, and Its
Constitution MS an Independent sover-
eighty five days before the Declaration
of Independence was prumulgated; 1T
is impossible to believe, we say. that
Virginia has become SO politically NOR
ibund that her sons cannot rise to the
height OF the occasion, and once more
awaken the memories of George Mason
and Thomas jefferson, of Edmund Pen
dleton and James Madison, by giving
as a charter worthy of their fame.
Until that hope be lost, we shall not

LAWYERS AND DOCTORS.
(From Richmond Disoatchl

If the views OF the editor of the Chi
caSo Times-H Herald count for aught-
and we think they do-most young men
would better make up their minds to
tackle business in earnest and let the
Learned professions CO." Certainly
none but the most self-confident and
tenacious should seek to follow those
walks In life which lead one outside
the commercial world, for our contem-
porary is of opinion that the polite
pursuits" though very pleasant and
honorable, are daily growing more I'M
remunerative. Indeed. it makes the
discouraging and homely remark that
only elbow room remains at the top,
while there is scant standing-room at
the bottom"
These words of warning are particu-
larry directed to those who aspire to be
lawyers and doctors. And to the for
mer, the Herald, speaking for Chicago
alone, but nevertheless coming very
near home to all localities. says there
is not enough legitimate business to go
around among the attorneys. and that
many are compelled to exc out exist
cnce by peddling Insurance and selling
real estate on commission.
/ is estimated that out of n total of
1000 lawyers in Chicago, 500 are hand
ling the litigation of the community.
and only about 200 are making $1,000 or
over each year. While the business of
increase, there is n constant influx Of
young lawyers from the colleges and
rural districts.
If we mistake not pretty much the
same conditions prevail everywhere,
and the why of the young attorney Ia
dark and thorny. His one inspiration
and very pleasing one 1t is-buoys
him with the hope that while few are
chosen, he may possibly become one of
them.
Our contemporary. which, by the
way. takes much more gloomy view
of the matter than we do. even goes
so far as to say that, 'taS n matter of
fact. almost any artisan now COM
mands a better annual income than
three fourths of the lawyers and doc
tors while the mercantile pursuits are
much more profitable. This statement
is not calculated TO stimulate those
with professional aspirations AS WE
TAKE IT. THE TIME HAS COME
WHEN THE PROFESSIONS, LIKE
PRETTY MUCH EVERY OTHER
MONEY MAKING VOCATION. HAVE
CEASED TO BE "FLOWERY BEDS
OF EASE" AND NOW DEMAND UN-

A measure that has attracted very
little attention, being overshadowed by
the Porto Rican bill and the Hay
Pauncefote treaty, is the bill to subsi-
die u Pacific cable. This cable, it is
estimated, will cost S10.o0O.OOO. The
proposition is that the United States
government pay to private company.
that proposes to lay the cable $500, 900
ANNUALLY for TWENTY YEARS,
or a total of 100000. Besides this
subsidy, there will be the tolls on all
government and private messages. The
natural inquiry is: How much stock
will Mark Hanna have in this bland

The announcement of Bishop Potter
that his "trip to the Philippines has

worth while to observe that just now
Washington. and not Manila, is the
best place to observe the real results
of imperialism. With all due regard
for Bishop Potter's sincerity and acu-
men, few weeks stay in the Metropo-

could hardly supply data OF sort to

very well considered, or based on very

AN ASPECT OF THE FINANCIAL

Our present administration is really
exceedingly generous in giving away its
most important governmental func-

of any government. and one that is
paramount with that of taxation. is the
issuing of legal tender currency. Every
one at all familiar with financial mat
ters knows that upon the regulation of
the supply of currency depends the va
lidity of IL nations most vital CONNER
cial relations. At any time of financial
crisis the imitation or depression OF the
money supply might be attended by
consequences too far-reac ching to specu-
late upon For any government to sur
render into the hands of n certain
clique of business men, or private cor
poration such a power as this. Is moth
Ing more nor less than complete stul-
tification. The Financial bill, which al
lows the national banks TO issue so
much of the currency as to control the
supply of it, and to contract or initiate
at will, and thus to hold in the wa
vcring hollow OF their hands the fate
of well-nigh all the financial interests
OF the country, deserves Con account
