Description of BI0ndrn.
Blondin has such a singular look
ing face that he should be easy to
recognize anywhere. He has a strong,
protruding jaw, slight cast in the
right eye; his face is slightly pock-
marked and he is very bow-legged-
This latter is perhaps his most marked
characteristic. Were it not for these
peculiarities of face and limbs he
would be hard to pick out, for he is OF
slightly less than medium size-fve

usually wears only the conventional
moustache. He is 33 years of age. He
has a tattoo mark of a schooner on
his left forearm. He speaks with a

Our Hoard of Trade.

Parkersburg State Journal
The Wheeling Board of Trade is a
very active and animated institu-
ton and is doing splendid work in
building up the industrial interests of
that city. For the last three months
it has directed its campaign against
the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Com
pany with pronounced success. It first
secured from that company additional
trains into Wheeling from Clarksburg
and other towns east of the first city,
for the purpose OF increasing the out
of-town business. The new train from
Clarksburg was secured for the pur-
pose of diveTting the trade of that town
which had heretofore gone mostly to
Parkersburg. TO Wheeling. The Board
secured a fast freight train to leave
Wheeling every afternoon. carrying
merchandise from wholesale houses.
The freight for this train is received
as late as 1870 p. m. and arrives at the
places to which it is consigned the
same day. This was another blow at
the trade of local wholesale houses To-
Gated in towns east of here. After the
Board of Trade had secured those two
things, the members directed their ef-
forts in behalf Of a new depot. They
secure4 that. Now. they are after the
same company again. They want I

DEPENDS ON HOW YOU LOOK AT 1T.

Gen. MacArthur's prohibition of
cock-fghting in the Philippines has
been revoked, the regulation cock-pits
have been ~re-established in Manila and
the privilege of conducting them has
been granted to the widow of Captain
Lara, who commanded the native police
Of Manila. The revenue derived from
the cock-fighting monopoly amounts to
$4,000 annually.
Of course, licensed c~ock-ighting is
not at all edifying and we may expect
the reformers in the United States to
throw up their hands in holy horror.
yet there is another point of view be-
sides our own. This sport is to the
+ ilipinos what base ball is to Ameri-
cans and the cock-pits there are licens-
ed the same as theatres and other
places of amusement. American Off
GERS in the islands recognize these
things and favor permitting the con-
tests.
These facts, however, are not likely
to appeal with any force to the re-
former, who is peculiarly constructed.
For instance. he inveighs against cock

he looked on with utmost complacency
at a shooting match on Long Island the
other day at which 10000 live pigeons
were shotsto death or cruehy MANNED
a wanton and cruel sport that would
probably disgust a Filipino with our
superior civilization"
Which goes to show that the point
of view and custom make a great deal
of difference.

the trusts rule Mr.. mckinley. He can
do nothing more, though all Porto Rico
is starvingsto death. The trusts wont
let him.
Meanwhile we.a are told that Senator
Foraker, cnairmans ofsthesSenate Com
mittee on the Pacific Island and Porto
Rico, will investigate conditions in the
latter islandsfor himself before the re-
assembling of Congress. But evidently
quite as little is to be expected from
Mr.. Foraker as from Mr.. Mckinley.
Mr.. Foraker will go to Porto Rico
prejudiced in advance against the Porto
Ricans and prepared to make light Of
their sufferings If we are to judge from
his own statements in advance on the
subject. He loudly declares in the face
of the petition borne by Mr.. lglesias,
that Porto Rico is in a more prosperous
condition than it has been for years,
although at the same time he makes
these admissions:
The testimony taken before the COM
mittee and reports of officers who nave
been in Porto Rico are tina there are per-
haps 100000 or 10000 people who live in
the interior and are in an extremely des-
titute condition, living in huts of thatch-
ed palm and with few cooking utensils or
any OF the other attributes of civilization
and comfort. 1t is hoped that the condi-
ton of these people will improve under
better systems of government than the
island has heretofore enjoyed"
f from 200, 900 to 300, 900 people in
Porto Rico are destitute, then one-third
of the entire population is on the brink
OF starvation. Yet in the face of his
own admission as to these facts Mr..
FORAKER says that Porto Rico is more
prosperous than it has been for years.
Clearly the Porto Ricans have as lit
tie to expect through Mr.. Foraker as
from the President in the way of re-
lief from the conditions wrought by the
wal and aggravated by the greed of
the protected" trusts which control
the administration and its party N Con-
gress.

OUR GREE. GOVERNMENT ABROAD

At the present rate of progress in
colonial and imperial government it
will not be long before we will be
able to give pointers on tyranny, illib-
eralism and oppression to any Euro
pean monarchy. Although bred in the
atmosphere of freedom, we have been
apt pupils in the school of imperialism
and are already way up head, although
so lately entered. In three years we
have shown ourselves the equals OF any
tyrant in Europe in the oppres-
sion of the hberty-loving and in stamp
ing out free government among weaker
people, which it used, to be our boast
to welcome and encourage. Mention of
the Declaration of independence makes
us blush or get mad or change the SUBJ
ject.
Here is a partial record of our re-
cent official acts showing our marked
change of view on the subject of a free
press:
Jan. "a. 1901.-George T. Rice, Amer
lean citizen, editor of the Manila Daily
Bulletin, a marine journal, imprisoned
and ordered deported by Gen. Mac
Arthur for making charges against the
captain of the Port, where the military
government has since been shown to be
rotten.
April 6, 1901.-La Discussion. a Ha-
vana newspaper, suspended and Senior
Coranada, its editor, arrested at Cover
nor-General Woods instance because of
offense taken at a cartoon.
April II, 1901.-Two editors in Ha-
vana sentenced to Imprisonment by
the Captain of the Port on the charge
of publishing libellous articles calcu-
lated to cause a strike among the dock
laborers at Havana.
The Constitution of the United States
says:
"ConGress shall make no law

speech or of the press"
But We have relegated the Constitu-
ton to the garnet among the out-of-
date things.
