IT is open to question whether
the delay Of the United States
supreme court in deciding upon
the constitutionslity Of the Puerto
Rican tariff is calculated to win
respect for tEat august tribunal.
The point involved is undoubtedly
the most important that congress
has given to the court for years,
but as month after month rolls by
without decision and the insular
tariff is maintained in operation
the feeling is pardonable that SO
far as the judicial branch Of the
government is concerned, it seems
of little contemporaneous moment
whether the Legislative and execu-
tive branches keep within the con-
stitution or not.

BRYAN in answer to an article in
an eastern paper, specializing on
his future plans as a political
leader said: Il am not planning
for another political nomination;
if I were 1 would not be editing a
paper. I would only consent to
become candidate if it seems
necessary for the advancement of
principles to which 1 adhere, and
that does not seem probable. I
shall, however, take an interest in
politics for several years yet, if I
live, and will support those who as
candidates advocate democratic
principles and who can be trusted
to enforce them if elected. II
have no enemies that [ would pun
ish; no matter what man may
have said or done for the ticket in
1896 or 1900, that man becomes an
opponent the moment he turns
against democratic principles.
Political battles are fought not in
the past or in the future, but in
the present.

THERE should be an earnest at
tempt on the part of the admins
tration to bring about a change for
the better in Porto Rico. The
United States government is on
trial before the world in it's admin
istration of the affairs of it's new
possessions. It is also, and
peculiarly, in honor bound to deal
fairly with the Porto Ricans, who
welcomed American sovereignty
as q promised blessing. The first
Porto Rican experience of this
'blessing'' should not consist of a
destruction of Porto Rican in.
dustries and the destitution of the
people of Porto Rico.

The report of the treas

The report of the treasury
bureau Of statistics for March
shows material decrease in both
export and imports, compared
with the corresponding month OF
1900. This falling off amounts tc
the neat little sum of Sis, 754, 949
The decrease in imports has been
steadily going on since last June
every month since then showing G
falling off from the month of the
preceding year. This is owing tc
the fact that the United States has
an everstock at home caused by
the decrease Of exports. The
decline in exports for March
amounts to $39,l8l,480, Up tc
February last the export trade was
in excess of the corresponding
month Of any previous year, but
since then our trade has been
rapidly subsiding. The most potent
reason for this is the action of the
senate in turning down the various
reciprocity treaties and the general
tone Of American diplomacy.

GETTING IN THE GAME.

Africa rs the great grab-bag of
these later days is gradually losing
its individuality with rapidity
that will soon leave the Dark
Continent in the hands of it's
friends The game of grab has
been an interesting one to every
country Of Europe, SO interesting,
in fact, that but a little over a
million and a half square miles of
the total area Of 11,514,000 square
miles are left in the bag. France
has had the best luck. The feur
de lis claims to Influence" no less
Dan 2,903,740, square miles.
Great Britain has pulled out g.
733,64O, part Of which is proving
the most expensive territory ever
secured. Belgium comes third
with $4,000 square miles, about
seventy-six times its own area.
Portugal has a protetorats over
$4,000 square miles, while
Turkey attends to the good health
of but 5000 square miles less
territory. Germany has charge of
$4,000 square miles. Spain is
last with only 203,764 square
miles. Liberia, small and dreary,
is still trying to rule over a small
tract. Strange things must be in
store for the great unknown
continent. With SO many diversi-
fed interests to clash, jealousies
and intrigues can hardly keep
from springing into existence just
as they have done in the south
part of the country. From present
indications, England may be chary
Of wasting money and life in
Africa, holding that the prize is
not worth the effort. But while
human nature remains as al
present constituted some country
| will be sure to keep the panorama
on the move.

ANOTHER HINT.

The announcement that steel
rails are to be advanced from $26
to S28 a ton and the fact that the
trust sells those rails abroad at S22
q ton, gives force to the contention
thas it is the duty of the republi-
can party-if there is an iota of
sincerity in its protestations of
sollcitude for the welfare of the
people-to rem I'VE, st its earliest
opportunity, the tariff on manu-
featured steel and on the products
of the glass and tin plate trusts as
we'll. The duties on these articles
produce no revenue and the only
apparent reason for their existence
is that they enable certain CON-
hines to extort from Americans
greater prices for their products
than foreigners are asked to pay
for the same articles. The re-
publican states man is counseling
his party wisely when he warns it
that the tins has come for tariff
reform, reduction and readjust-
ment in the interest of fair trade
and reciprocity, and if the re-
publican party does not lead the
way, the people will place in
power party that will.
The fierce opposition in the ranks
of republicanism TO the proposed
ship subsidy gave a hint of the
trend of public opinion and the
operations Of some of the highly
protected trusts have intensified
popular hostility to all duties that
seem to be imposed simply as a
bonus to special interests.

THERE is lesson for Arbol
Day in the recent destructive
floods in the east along the Ohio
river, which can be traced to the
direct result Of the liquidation OF
the Pennsylvania, Virginia, Ken
lucky and Ohio hills Of their
forests. The bare hilltops have
nothing left to retain the spring
rains. Fires have destroyed the
mating of underground. So the
rains, which formerly percolated
slowly toward the streams, have
come down with rush, destroy.

IT is too bad that any dead flies
should mar the sweet odor of such
an exhibition of peoples gener-
osity as followed the Galveston
tornado. But the record would not
be complete which should fail TO
note some instances of abominable
selfishness ard fraud on the part
of the local communities having
charge of the relief fund. An
investigation set on foot by the
legislature Of Texas shows that a
whole cargo Of flour and 1000
sacks Of meal were sold by one of
those committees and the proceeds
never accounted for; that 100000
Of the charity fund was used in
building houses on the lands of
welI-to-do-people, to be rented to
the homeless sufferers; that be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000 of the
same fund was used in filling
low lots belonging to members of
the relief committees; and that
some other members of the COM
mittees held up money appor-
toned to sufferers and applied it
in payment Of old debts due from
the sufferers to themselves. Mis-
fortune in such calamitious pro.
portions seems to have the effect
of bunting the sensitiveness OF
conscience, and the lessons from
these incidents would appear to be
that the administration of relief
funds should be in the hands oil
outsiders, nos in those of mer
themselves in q greater or LEST
degree the victims of disaster

7 HE Chicago Tribune presents

The Chicago Tribune presents
some interesting figures Oh the
gr owth of divorce in the United
States as follows: In 1870 81 pei
cent Of all marriages in the United
States ended in divorce courts
In 1881 the percentage had arisen
to 4.8. In 1896 it was 6.2, and IN
1900 it was eight per cent. In
other words, the percentage of
divorces to marriages in this
country has moro than doubled
since 1870. The total number of
divorces in the United States for
given year was 23,427. During
the same year 20,1l1 divorces
were granted in all the world out
side of the United States. There
was an excess of 1901 divorces in
this country as compared with the
remainder of the world. OF
foreign countries the smallest
number of divorces in the given
year was in Canada, where only
twelve were granted. Next in the
United States the largest number
was in France, with 6,245 in the
year. Germany was close
second with only 100 less. From
religious standpoint there are
about 70 divorces to every 100000
Catholics, while divorces for the
same total among Protestants are
263. More than 40 per cent of all
divorces granted in the United
States is on the ground of deser.
ton, and divorces are five times
as frequent in the city as in the
country districts.

STATES HIS POSITION.

Candor is q most estimable
quality and it is one of Bryan's
marked characteristics. Whether
discussing measures or mon, re-
publican plans and policies of his
own, he is frank in his statements
and straightforward in argument.
Even when his own political future
is under discussion he does not
hesitate to take part, an example
of this being his answer in the
current issue of the Commoner to
the Springfield Republicans
recent query as to what he is cup
to-" The Republican lntimated
that Mr.. Bryan's opposition to the
democratic nominee for mayor OF
St. Louis indicated that "anothe1
democratic nomination for the
presidency is of less moment to
him than the defeat of the plans
Of the conservatives to recapturs
the party" Mr. Bryan quotes the
Republicans paragraph and pro-
oeeds to tell what he is up to-.
He speaks of his two nominations
for the presidency as bestowed
upon him, not as Il personal CON-
pliment nor because of personal
merit, but simply and solely
because Of his advocacy of demo-
cratic principles. He still believes
in those principles and will con-
tinus to advocate them. New
issues may arise but the doctrines
set forth in the Chicago and
Kansas City platforms are funda-
mental and enduring. He declares
that he is not planning for another
nomination and says that if he
ever becomes a candidate again it
will be because it seems necessary
for the advancement of the princi-
Piles to which he adheres. He
will labor as he has in the past
for good democratic government
and those who join in the work
will be his friends, no matter what
their position may have been
heretofore; those who turn against
the principles ho supports will be
his p ,litieal foes, regardless of the
past. He asks no reward except
good government. There you
have it and there is no need OF
further speculation as to Bry ans
position. He is not seeking
another presidential nomination
He believes in certain set OF
principles, which he considers
democratic. Whether Bryan is 8
candidate before the next demo.
cratic national convention or not
his influence will be felt there fol-
a confirmation Of the Chicago and
Kansas city platforms and the
first attempt to repudiate any part
of them will be the signal for 8
fight.
