EXPLAINS HIMSELF.

In view Of the fact that Justice
Brown of the United States supreme
court was the pivot upon which the
recent decisions in the insular cases
hinged; that his, seemingly, was the
deciding vote in one case and the de-
Gliding vote in another, which decisions
seem contradictory to people of ordi-
nary comprehension, the statements
of the justice as to what the decis-
ions really do mean, is of more than
ordinary interest and importance. JUS
tice Brown says:
"The utterance of the supreme court
is one of the most important ever
rendered by the supreme tribunal. It's
effects will be felt generations hence.
There are two parts to this verdict:
First, that Porto Rico is not foreign
territory; second, that Porto Rico is
territory of the United States and
subject to all the laws and privileges
which have hitherto been exercised
in our government of such possess.
ions.
THE oft-repeated inquiry whether
the natives of Porto Rico or other in
sular possessions can enjoy the priv
ileges of citizens of the United States
did not enter into the purview of the
decision yesterday. That question
must be determined later In the
meantime the natives Of Porto Rico
can enjoy all the rights which are
granted to the inhabitants of Arizo-
ma. New Mexico, Oklahoma or Alas
ka.
This decision acknowledges that
Porto Rico is eligible to statehood
and implies that when she fultlls the
uCAudAuo INAullC lulO
the union she will be granted all the
rights which follow the flag. Until
that time, however, Porto Rico cannot
be entitled to the privileges which
seem to be warranted by the protec-
ton of the United States flag"
The alleged implication of the decis-
ion that when Porto Rico fulfills the
demands required for admission into
the union, she will be granted all the
rights which follow the flag, will no
doubt prove consoling to the Porto
Ricans. But the interval between the
anticipation and the realization of the
honors and privileges of statehood, is
entirely likely to be OF such length as
to severely try their patience.

We think we can with a degree of pardonable pride call the attention of the public to the merits of the Sunday Graphic. For sometime the Graphic, and the Sunday edition especially, has demonstrated it's superiority in the local field as newspaper On yes terday, as usual, the Graphic contain ed a large amount of news and interest ing reading matter. It contained full account of Saturdays storm, not only covering the local field. but the State and the destruction of Wells Point, Texas. The local items chronieled exclusively in the Sunday Graphic were too nun rez. 10 be mentioned. but stand app,taent to all. The Graphic is dailv demonstrating its ability to set ,tii the important news and publish it while the Sunday Graphic is the only local newspaper that goes to it's readers with items fresh from the press and news while it is news The Sunday Graphic oc- cupies a unique and distinct field in local journalism. and stands without peer. Its columns are always filled with news, while its illustrated features are espec- ially interesting and entertaining. And an encouraging feature of it all is that the paper grows better. especially the Sunday edition. with each succeeding issue. If you don't read the Graphic, you don't get all the news. and We don't care who knows 1t.

GEN. LAFAYETTE.

G3NNELTON, Ind, March H. Captain ". H. Daniel of Troy, this state, wno has been pilot and com mander on the Ohio river since 1S40, has written an article giving full ac- count of an accident to the steamer Mechanic in 1895, when General La fayette and party were aboard. The Captain says:
 After General Lafayette and his suite had visited General Jackson at the Hermitage. they were going to Marietta, Ohio, on a handsome steam CT called the Mechanic which had ben chartered for that purpose. On April 8, 1925, it passed Troy on it's way up the Ohio river to Marietta. where General Lafayette had some French acquaintances and friends. When near the Kentucky shore, three miles above Troy, the handsome boat ran into sycamore log and sank. The party went ashore on the Ken lucky side. then very sparsely settled They found no lodging. so they sent a courier down the river to point on poslte Troy and hailed the ferryman lie was informed of the accident to the Mechanic. Immdeiately the eff lzens ofs Troy took the ferryboat up to the wreck and brought the crew ana the passengers down to Troy Here they took breakfast. While Cen. era1 Lafayette was at Troy he and his staff We're the observed of all observ. ed The other Frenchmen with him wore long mustaches that reached to their ears.

sheer impudence" if it was pro-

asserts that no European Gov

has no more idea OF entering upon

and deprive illiteracY of the right
to vote. The Virginia Constitu-
tional Convention will meet IN
June. In the Old Dominion the
disfranchisement OF the illit, rate
vote has long been a burning ques
ton. The convention will, how
ever, have other important matters
to deal with. The present Con-
stitution was adopted in recon-
struction days. The Virginians
hope to frame new instrument
which will enable them to have a
more economical State Govern
ment. Many reforms have been
proposed, some OF which are un-
doubtedly needed. One PROPOSE
tion is to apportion the school fund
in such a manner that the negroes
will receive for school purposes
only such sums as they pay in
taxes. The late John Z. Massey,
one Of the ablest and shrewdest
politicians in the State, was an ad-
vocate Of this plan, and was elected
delegate to the Constitution Con-
vention largely because Of the ag-
gressive position he had taken.

The rartn ana the Trusts.
CoHyisr IoHyHeI

The Courier ! HyHaEha attempted to
keep its readers informed regarding the
effort which Congressman Babcock, one
Of the Republican members of the Ways
and Means Committee OF the recent
Congress, is making to bring his party
to some sensible action in revising the
tariff.
1t will be remembered that last winter
he introduced a bill 10 place on the Tree
list the products OF those protected
industries which have entered into trust
combinations--a proposition which is
entirely in accord with Democratic
principles as formally declared by the
party. At the time Mr., Babcock's bill
was not taken seriously by the general
public. II was looked upon as a trans
parent bit Of tuncombe which could not
amount to anything in a Republican
Congress, and which was not intended
to amount to anything. Tbe Courier
I0HyHal was among those who took this
view OF Mr. Babcock and his bill,
Mr.. Babcock's subs, quent course,
however, has tended to shake conf
dence in this construction of his action.
He has been positive, even aggressive,
since the adjournment of Congress in
asserting his good faith and insisting
that he intends to press the matter.
Only last week the C0Urfty EH nal
published an emphatic assurance oil his
that this question will be brought
squarely before the Republican party
in the Congressional campaign OF next
year. The Courier Journal has ex-
pressed the opinion that # this is done
it will be done, not by Mr.. B. bcock, but
by the Democrats. Itis willing to con-
cede now that Mr.. Batcock may be
sincere, but the probabilities are that he
will be choked of by his party unless
the protected interests themselves
demand such tariff reform as he pro-
poses. Mr. BabcOck now says that the
protected interests are largely with him,
as we'll as the farmers and the labOring
classes, During my absence from
Washington in the West " he says, ST
have talked with the represent tiyes Of
many OF the largest in lerests Of the
country. I have not met a single man
u acturer who did not iudorse this
movement"
Whenever The manufacturers demand
tariff reform the Republican party will
be as quick TO change its posit on on
that question as il has been to change IL
on other questions In accordance with
the current OF public sentiment. The
C0H5 fsr Journal believes that the time
is coming, but n doubts u it is so near
at hand 5 to be OF effective service tc
Mr.. Babcock in the next & tougress iona
campaign, Il promises him, however,
that It will do what Il can to aid him
or anybody else in advancing such good
Democratic doctrine.

ChinA's Indemnity.

The Ministers at Pekin last
Wednesday agreed to fix the
Chinese indemnity at Sa63 ,ooo, 900,
but are divided still as to how it
should be raised. France, Ger
many, Russia and Japan are re-
ported as iavoring higher customs
duties, to which the United States

would of course tend TO restrict
and reduce imports OF foreign
