why Company A Quit.
Editor of the Globe:

To the Editor Of the GLOBE:
T notice in yesterday mornings paper
an article in which the adjutant general
refers to the general lack Of interest in
the national guard. He refers to Com
many A. of the Fourth regiment re-
serves. which was mustered out only Il
few days ago, as an example. In justice
to the above company I would like to
say that 1t was not, mustered out on &C.
count of lack of interest. Company A
was one of tho best companies in the
state. as was shown at the last annual
inspection. The members were urged
time and again to stay in the guard I'M
til the legislature met, as something
would then be done for the Fourth regi-
ment Two legislatures met and still
nothing was done.
Now why should this company stay in
the guard when they were not provided
for. They had no room as others had;
they had no place to drill unless they de-
sired to begin drill at $50 p. m, or drill
on Saturday nights. Several weeks ago
the adjutant general was asked If there
was any chance for this company, and
he replied that there was none. Why,
then, should this company display any
interest when there was no place to
drill, nothing to drill for. no object In
view, and no place to hang their hats.
Thanking you for past fayors. / am

THE EXPLOITING OF PORTO RICO

THE EXPLOITING OF PORTO RICO.
The speech of Congressman LittlefeId
delivered in the house of representatives,
in opposition to the Porto Rico tariff bill
reads now like a prophecy. This first ap-
pearance of the successor of Tom Reed
gave promise of a career-of honesty in
public Office that would do honor to the
fame Of his illustrious predecessor. But
the fear of the party whip proved strong
er than his resolution to do right, and
he was soon found trailing in the dust
behind the administration chariot, ready
to lend his talents to create a colonial
policy outside of the constitution.
A majority of the American people are
expansionists, but they believe that the
constitution with all it's guarantees should
follow the flag. They believe that the
acquisition of Porto Rico and the Philip
pines will be of inestimable benefit, not
only to the. people of those islands, bat
to the people of the United States, pro-
viding the people of both sections are
allowed to reap the benefits of free and
unobstructed trade as the constitution
provides. So different are the products
of these islands from those Of the United
States that absolute free trade would
There are, however, two interests in the
United States which would be seriously
effected by such status; we refer to the
sugar and tobacco monopolies. So far,
these two interests have dominated the
entire administrative policy and dictated
terms to congress-, against an almost
unanimous public opinion.
These interests and their allies consist
ing of the producers Of tropical fruits
have determined upon a scheme for ex-
plotting these insular possessions Al
though free trade with Cuba, Porto Rico
and the Philippines would reduce the
price of sugar one-half. thus saving mil
lions to the consumer, the government
backed up by congress, has shown a dis
position to stand by the trust even to a
direct violation of the constitution itself
There is some excuse for maintaining
the prohibitory restrictions on the Phil
ippine commerce, as those islands have
been in state of war, but there is alb
solutely no excuse for the conduct Of
this nation toward Porto Rico. So serI-
Gus is the condition of this adopted child
Of the republic, that it amounts to ma
tional crime.
With the change of sovereignty after
the treaty of Paris, the foreign trade Of
Porto Rico with Europe was wholly
ruined. The two products of the island
sugar and tobacco, had enabled the
island to pay the enormous regular tax
exacted by Spain. to contribute $500. 600
to help in the Spanish Cuban war, TO
maintain the local government and still
have enough left to keep the wolf from
the door. How is it now? Business is
stagnated, there is no commerce, the
. tobacco lies in the warehouses and the
zane rots in the fields, because there is
no market and no money to pay labor.
The tariff that was levied for the pur-
pose OF preventing the importation OF

larly known as "a grand stand pla5"

The correspondence published in the
G o e today is quite interesting. 1t is,

good stuff" 1t reveals ]. j. McCardy,
the former great and only authority on
municipal arithmetic, as being worth
even less than 80 cents less than he re-
when he made his false play about his
system of bookkeeping some, months
ago, whereby he rendered it necessary
on the part of the city treasurer to force
him to discharge his official duty or else
submit to being thrown out of office
No one will pretend that the comptrol-
ler's letter to MFR. Bremen, assuming to
direct him in the discharge of his off,
cial duty and to criticise him for his
method of transacting that duty is any
thug less than a mere fake. The man
such communication may be said, in
the language of the people, to have
something the matter With him." Nine
long years it took our friend the city
situation which he reveals. 1t took him
that long, too, Notwithstanding the
thoughtful action of the young and I'M
sophisticated city treasurer, to discover
the alleged facts which he sets forth.
For nine long years he had gone on do
ing exactly the thing which he at this
belated hour tells poor Bremen that he
ought not to do; and Bremen, forthwith
tells him to settle his difficulties with the
lady III the case: that he, Bremen, has
troubles of his own, and that he does
not propose to be troubled about a mat

the aforesaid Bremen, disposed of. by di-
recting McCardy's attention unavailingly
to the same.
We regret to say that so far as Mr..
McCardy, the city comptroller, is con-
cerned there is a woeful situation re-
vealed here from the standpoint Of the
average disinterested citizen who has no
political concern in the matter. What
has McCardy been doing for nine years
past? What Rip Van Wrinkle influence
that long day? What has become Of his
dog, Schneider-that system, unfailing
and ever present, of official arithmetic,
which never admits of mistake or
avoidance? Nine years is a long time;
but from all the evidence in this particu-
lar case it would appear that the great
man at the head Of the city books has
been asleep all the time, and has only
woke up to realize that whiskey intoxi-
Gates, and that a man may forget or
neglect his duty from one consideration
or another, no matter how much trouble
he may take in building up reputation
for himself as a municipal watchdog.
1t would certainly have appeared at
the beginning as if a comparative youth
like Bremen would have been good game
coming to the net of an ancient political
fisherman like our worthy comptroller;
but to have him, after lapse of several
months, repeat that mistake would GER
tainly indicate that the weight of the
comptroller's sorrows Of late has
wrought much more serious results on
his intellectual anatomy than even his
