THE ADMINISTRATION SUSTAINED

AS was anticipated the Su-
preme Court Of the United States
has sustained the administra
ton in the Porto Rican tariff
is, in the most i'm
portant of them, We say, as
was anticipated, because it does
seem that the politics of the
country have reached that stage
where the cOurts-eVen the high
est courts of the land-are ex-
pected to sustain the power
that created them.
The cases here referred to as
the Porto Rican cases, all well
posted readers will understand
to be actions brought in the
courts of New York to test the
tariff laws of this country as
against Porto Rico after that
country became a territory of
the United States, The Su-
preme Court holds that as soon
as Porto Rico became a United
States possession her merchan-
disc was entitled to free ad-
mission into this country-un-
til Congress met and passed an
act imposing a duty on them.
From this opinion it is some.

TALLAHASSEE WILL BOOM.

Tallahassee will now enter
upon a genuine boom-not one
of those magic growths brought
about by spectators in real es-
tate, which usually leave a
country worse off than it found
it, but a steady growth that
will in a few years make this
one of the principal cities in
the State.
The cause is visible to the
most casual observer. The con-
struction of the Georgia Pine
and The Tallahassee South Eas-
tern Railway will open a new
route from the Southern part of
the State. Instead of going
around by way of Atlanta and
Jacksonville travel from the
West and Northwest will shift
to this route, and Tallahassee
will reap many investments
thereby which never would
have come under the old trans
pOrtatiOn regime.
Again, the competition which
these roads will naturally Gre
ate in the handling of freights
will soon establish rates for Tai
Iahassee, which our sister cities
have enjoyed for years, and
which will enable us to convert
our thousands upon thousands
of acres of waste lands into
profitable homes for a progress
Sive industrious class of immi
grants that will come this way
as soon as the new condition of
things is known abroad.
Those members of the Legis-
latiOn who fought US so hard in
the House when the capital ap-
priation bill was up will be sur
prised when they come back
two years hence-if they come
back-to see how things have
changed, how we have emerged
from the conditions they COM
planned Of to a progressive,
prosperous city.
The Weekly Tallahasseean., 1901-05-30
Women AS TreaSurerS.

An interesting fact brought out
by the recent election in COlOra-
do is the marked tendency of
Colorado men to elect women as
city treasurers. Mrs. Margaret
Robinson was unanimously
chosen city treasurer Of Idaho
Springs. At Aspen, Mrs. E. A.
Kenny was reelected to the
same Office by a large majority.
Mrs. Jennie Gale was elected
city treasurer at New Castle,
Mrs. Emma G.. Palmer in Cree
ly Mrs. Clara A. Clark at Alma.
Mrs. Mary Shanks at Ouray,
Miss Nellie E. DOnahue at Vic
tor, and Mrs. A. n. Frowine at
ManitOu.
In several other towns women
came very near being elected
city treasurer, running ahead
of their tickets; and in a num-
Der Of cities in Kansas women
we're chosen to the same posi-
ton, In almost all these pla-
ces, the men Outnumbered the
women; so if women are put in
office, it is because the men wish,
to have it so. In these days Of
bOlting bank cashiers and man
fold emDezzlements, perhaps
the men feel that this particular.
office is safest i'll the hands of
the sex that is least given to
stealing and stock speculation.
Whatever may be the eXplana-
ton. there can be no doubt of
the fact that in the Western
States, women are in favor aS5
city treasurers. A number of
women were also chosen city
clerks.

Elsewhere in this issue will
be found a call for a meeting of
the Johnson's Island Prisoners
at the Reunion to take place at
Memphis. 1t will be an excel
lent opportunity for these fell
low-sufferers to get together
and exchange greetings, and
we predict that every man who
was confined in Johnson's Is
land that attends the reunion
will avail himself of the oppor-
tunity.

until he has got the CONSENT of
his colleague, Senator McLau .
rim, and they have both resign
ed their seats and will go before
the people asking for reelection
at a primary. This action is the
result of some trivial disagree
ment among them, and viewed
from this distance is a piece of
tonic olery. i
By the terms of the agree
ment the primary is not to be
restricted to Tillman and
McLaurin, the idea being that
they shall receive the full en-
dorsement of the people on
their respective positions. Pri-
mrries and elections are expen-
sive things and when officials
get to thrusting them upon
their constituents to satisfy a
personal whim it is a pretty
good time to change officials.
South Carolina may take her
que from this and elect Gov
ernor McSweeney, who has
already announced that he will
probably be a candidate. There
are, by the way, several other
candidates already announced.

Our merchants. are following
their usual custom of closing at
SIX o'clock p. m. this year, and
On and after June 8 all shop
ping will have to be done before
that hour, except Saturdays
and railroad pay days. This is a
perfectly proper course to pur-
sue. Clerks are human. the
same as other people, and need
a title recreation during the
long summer days.

what refreshing to note that
four out of the nine Justices
dissented, including the Chief
Justice, Justices Harlan and
Brewer.
1t is not contended here that
we want to see, or ever have
wanted to see, Porto Rico's
products admitted free, but
there are some provisions of the
Constitution of the United
States so plain that common
people can understand them
laymen included. It may be
good policy, in a commercial
sense, to ignore the traditions of
centuries for the convenience 1of
the present. but it is doubtful
if it is good policy to carry that
practice to the extremes that
are reached here. On the brink
is tottering that which has been
the main stay of the courts for
all ages-public opinion-and,
the anathemies of the people
are called down upon them, who
can predict the result?

A GOOD THE TO CHANGE.

If there is any one on earth
who enjoys a political scramble
more than Senator Ben Tillman,
of South Carolina, it is high
time the world knew him. Sen
ator Tillman was recently re-
elected to the United States Sen
ate for six years, but the cam
paign was entirely too tame for
him. He has cavorted around

This has been the quietest ses-
sion of the Legislature held in
Tallahassee during the past fif-
teen years. But for the Dispen-
sary Bill and the Tampa Charter
Bill-both of which were kill
ed-there would have been ab-
solutely no excitement at all.
Perhaps that is why we have
heard more complaints this time
than heretofore about Tallahas-
see being "a dull town." AS a
matter of fact the town is not as
dull as it has been in years gone
by-not by long odds. ;

That Chicago physicians ''salt

discovered about a year or so
ago and then allowed to follow
the well beaten path to oblivion
for a time, has received a new
bosst. 1t is said that this rene
dy is what saved Mrs. McKir-
ley and pulled her through her
San Francisco illness, when all
hope had been given up. The
improvement is said to have
been marked and almost instan-
taneOns from the time the treat
ment was administered directly
into the system. This incident
suggests the querry. Why wait

The Weekly Tallahasseean., 1901-05-30

1t may be truthfully said of
this Legislature that it has done
its work with less ostentatiOn
and in a more busmess-like man
ner than any session has within
the knowledge of the write.
The Senate has adjourned over
from Friday to Monday every
week since the Legislature met,
and kept right up with its cal
endar. The house, being a lar
ger body, has not done quite
that well, but it has found it
necessary to hold very few af-
ternoon and night sessions and
yet instead of the closing days
being characterized by a perfec
bedlam of confusion in an effort
to rush through delayed meas
urers, it is doing, and has to do,
only very little more work than
has been done at other sessions.
The printed Journals will bear
out this statement.

TO THE PUBLIC.

The weekly issue Of the FREIE
PREssE FUER TEXAS" has po-
sitively the largest circulation
Of all German papers published
IN the State of Texas.
It has over 400 established
agencies in the State, is mailed
to fully 700 post-offices, and has
an extended circulation in Mexi-
co, in the Indian Territory, and
in Oklahoma.
1t circulates from Galveston
to Denison, from Marshall to Ell
Paso and of course mainly in
the thickly populated central
and southwestern parts of the
state.
Three travelling men and our
very active local agents are con
tinuously adding new sub
scribers to the lists.
In consideration of these facts
the FREE PREssE FUER TEXAS
claims to be the best adver-
tising medium in the State of
Texas, where it is the object to
reach the German reading po-
pulation.

No mention is made in the re-
port Of the proposition to Gloss
the rolls Of the Five Civilizee
Tribes. This matter viii be treate
in supplementary report. Ia til
Ch0ctaw and Chickasaw agree
ments just received here the Il
dians are empowered with the
authority to close the rolls. This
is regarded BY the Secretary .
the Interior as a usurpation OF hi
prerogatives aud he is opposed "a
1t. The Indians appear to be
equally persistent in their demand
for authority to close the rolls Of
their own volition. aud this con-
dition of affairs may initiate
against the adoption Of the Choc-
taw and Chickasaw agreement Of
that session
An interesting feature In the re-
port is that requiring the Dawes
Commission to file with the Secre-
lary an Itemized statement of all
expenditures made during each
year. There is also included a pro-
viso authorizing the Secretary Of
the Interior to investiga e and re-
port to Congress at its next ses-
sion whether il is practicable to
provide a system of taxation Of
personal property, occupations,
franchises, etc, in the Indian ler-
ritery sufficient to maintain a sys-
tenn Of free schools 10 all the chill

house.
The committee adopted an
amendment with reference to the
adjustment of the accounts be
tween the Usage Indians of ok

contains some new features. II
provides for their adjustment mp
on the basis of a fair profit upon

to the Indians and when the
amounts due shall have been de-
termined the Secretary OF the In.
terror is authorized to pay the
Osages per capita the amount col
lected as rental of pasture lands
and any accumulated interest
other than the regular annu-
alIties. From these funds tae
traders accounts are to be obli-
gated.
