Porto Rico.

In the matter of present conditions In
Porto Rico we have on the one hand &C
counts of a gratifying and promising meas
ure of prosperity and contentment. and on
the other accounts of great want and dis
content AS the case stands the former
are by far the more credible. We get those
accounts from men whom we know; men
in office in the island whose duty it is to
acquaint themselves with what IS going on,
and to forward to the extent of their pow
ers the public welfare. No one of these Of
ficiaIs speaks with more confidence or more
directly to the point than Gov. Allen. He Is
a man of truth and observation. and when
he reports as he has reported, that affairs
in Porto Rico are in good shape, and that
substantial order is rapidly coming out of
the confusion that necessarily followed the
transfer of authority from Spain to the
United States. the statement is entitled to
the highest consideration.
But that Is not all. Let us look at bit of
corroborative history American authority
in Cuba is not on the same basis in
Porto Rico, but in it's way 1t Is quite as
complete 1t illustrates both the capacity
of the Americans to direct affairs. and the
superiority of that direction to the direction
of the Spaniards. Now We get testimony
on every hand that conditions in Cuba are
most encouraging Americans of distinction
return from a visit to Cuba greatly i'm
pressed with the appearance of things there.
The cities are clean. We may know how
clean, because nearly every one uses Wash
ington as the standard of comparison: and
we all know that this is a clean, wholesome
city. The people are orderly, and many of
them are at work The streets show no
beggars. There is no drunkenness in EVIL
dence. The camps of the soldiers are
healthy. and the conduct of both officers
and men is pralseworthy.
If this is true of Cuba-and who doubts 1t
but those who from the outset have en-
gagged in Safeguarding their countrymen
in commission there?-why may we not
look for something of like nature in Porto
Rico? Indeed. why should not conditions
In the latter island be the more satisfac-
tory. There were many difficulties to con-
tend with In both Islands, but fewer in
Porto Rico than in Cuba. Civil war had
not torn the former, wasted the sub
stance Of the people. There was a better
foundation upon which to build.
1t is probably not denied by anybody that
much remains to be done to bring Porto
Rico up to the proper state of order and
prosperity. But that excellent start has
been made toward that end, and that such
an end will be reached in good time. can
not be gainsaid by those disposed to be
fair. Clearing away all traces of Spanish
rule is in itself no easy matter. But that
has progressed so rapidly that the full ben
efits to follow cannot be on any account
very much delayed.

and will proceed to go through the motions
Of the last assault with real sword. But
he will not kill the bull. That would be
both cruel and extravagant. When the
psychological moment arrives the matador
will touch the bull between the shoulder
blades. where he is supposed to receive the
fatal stab. and will there deposit, as a
mark of his skill, a waxed rosette, as a
sort of seal of finality. 1t has been planned
to have horses in the ring to display the
equestrian skill of the performers, but as
a precautionary measurement to speak of
the economy-they will be removed before
the bull enters, and thus there will be no
risk of tortured animals. 1t is believed
that this innovation will leave the bull
fresher than in the real fights for his at
tacks upon the men. No mention Is made
in the glowing descriptions of the program
which have thus far appeared of the
chances that the bull, thus given a wider
range, may gore one or more human per-
formers at each exhibition. There Is no
remark as to padded horns, or dehorned
animals or any other method of insurance
against tragedies. Perhaps 1T Is believed
that there must be some element of danger
in the game or the dear public will not pay
to see it. 1t does not seem to have occur
red to the promoters of this scheme that
with less expense and no danger whatever
they could reproduce a genuine, lively,
bloody bull fight by means of a biograph,
and some arrangement of appropriate
noises to heighten the illusion. This would
surely be as entertaining an expurgated
performance with waxed rosettes and UNI
horsed picadors Unless the rosettes have
foundation of mustard or something
equally irritating to the bulls hide it Is
doubtful whether he can be worked up by
this artificial means to the point Of rage
which the true art of bull fighting demands
for complete satisfaction. 1t is to be feared
that the bull fight thus portrayed will be
about as representative of Mexico's ma
tional sport as base ball game between
eighteen polite. gentle-voiced. lady-like
players, with an automatic umpire. would
be typical of the national sport of the
United States.

Keep Them Where They Are.
From the Philadelphia Press,

Another effort to release the Younger
brothers from the Minnesota state prison,
where they are serving a life sentence for
murder and robbery, has failed. The Younger
brothers We're known as one of the worst
gangs Of highway robbers that infested
the west twenty-five years ago. In 1876 in
an attempt to rob the bank at Mortified.
Mimi, they murdered the cashier. but
were subsequently captured, tried, convict
ed and sentenced to Imprisonment for life.
They were hardly in prison before the eff
fort began to excite mawkish sympathy
in their behalf and get them pardoned out.
SO far it has failed. however. These GRIM
inals should be left where they are They
deliberately chose a life of crime when
they were young and showed no mercy to
any one who stood in their path. If they
had not been captured and imprisoned they
would be rObbing and numbering today
They should be kept where they are and
not turned loose on society again.

Speed Should He Limited.
From the Cleveland Leader.

An automobile record of mile in a
minute and seven seconds is reported from
Nice. and the mile-a-minute limit looks
near now. But what does that mean for
horse vehicles and pedestrians in coun-
tries where steam, gas and electric mo-
tors are to be much used on the high
ways? Can men be permitted to handle
machines capable Of such speed, trusting
to their own good sense and moderation
to keep within the limits of safety? The
question is at least very doubtful 1t may
be imperatively necessary that the extreme
speed of horseless carriages and vehicles
of all kinds shall be strictly regulated by
law, on all roads.

Should Be q Warning.

Every counterfeiter run down Is only an
other warning to the others that their time
will come. They may be as clever as any
individual that devotes his time to the
work of discovering counterfeiters. They
may even be cleverer than any single OBJ
ponent: but they cannot beat the detective
system. AS individuals they are forced to
sleep. The system Is not. The singular
fact In relation to their deeds Is that, being
clever as they are. they should delude
themselves to the extent Of believing that
they will not ultimately be caught
