Give me the sweet sweet violets the

There we lifted first our eyeli DIS
on the splendor Of the morn,
From mothers breast that warmed
us and clnging arms that bole,
Whose dear eyes glis tened DER us
that will look on us no more.
No friend was like our father friend
who shared our morning days,
No greeting like his welcome voice
or no logger like his praise,
Fame is the scentless sunfower with
its gaudy crowns Of gold,
But the friendship from a fathers
heart is SLOW In getting cold.
There is no way that earthly bribes
can make our doom delay,
Or order that strong hand Of death
to come some distant day.
For all the mother earth now holds
IN all her golden store,
Cannot prolong or keep US here
from death one hour more.
The cold aud fading winds of time
have blown around our yrow.
Where Is the sunshine OF our youth
where is It's glory now!
It's gone like our kind parents who
once like us was free,
Who faced the racking pains Of
death now IN Eternity.

PROSPERITY IN. PORTO RICO.
senator Foraker DECLARES the Island
Better on Thin In Years.

Senator Foraker ofeOfia called at the
War Department yesterday on personal
business and discussed the situation In
Porto Rico from his point of view, as he
is familiar with conditions on the island
He claimed that his Information was con-
trary to that presented. by the various
delegations which have recently visited
the United States.
Porto Rico" said The. lis in a more
prosperous condition today than it has
been for years The taxes are lighter
than in any other place in the world. The
men who are asking for relief are those
who advocated 25 per cent tariff instead
of 10 per cent tariff
THE only possible objection is to that
provision of the law which compels taxes
to be paid within six months. II Is not
likely that any land will ever be forfeited
under this law. Governor Allen has al
ready signified his willingness to call the
Legislature together and to modify or re-
peal this particular provisions. 1t is true
that there are large number Of people
in Porto Rico who have always been pow
erty stricken and are NO still.
THE testimony taken before the com
mittee and reports of officers who have
been in Porto Rico are to the effect that
there are perhaps 100000 or 100000 people
who live in the interior and are In an ex-
tremely destitute condition. living IN hutS
of matched palm and with few cooking
utensils or any of the other attributes or
civilization and comfort. Ii is hoped that
the condition of these people viii improve
under better systems of government than
the island has heretofore enjoyed.
Senator Foraker expects to visit Porto
Rico just before the reassembiing of Con-
gress and Will make as thorough an IN
vestigation of conditions as his limited
time will afford

done society becomes corrupt. Deprived
of proper mental food, hindered from
making progress, hampered by the pet
ty restraints of unworthy tradition,
strong ne res are very apt to turn
bad, when. with freedom, they might
have worked out the law of their being
and become sane. wholesome, and eff
cient Tor good. Moreover, when a man
is accustomed to liberty, he knows his
own nature, and understands himself,
because he makes his blunders early;
the restricted nature is never sure of it
self. and is continually meeting with
surprising revelations of its own being
and of a world outside its petty tradi
tons. If somebody must go wrong. il
seems as If it would better be the weak
and unworthy. In a free society the
strong can protect themselves, and also
guide the weak: in a society under the
complete dominion of traditions in
herited from a more or less corrupt and
ignorant past, the strong, if they would
do anything, must fight all society. and
be continually battling against a mass
of pettiness. cunning. and inert corrup-
ton which prevents them from accom-
plishins their purpose. and too often
embitters them. The man who grows
up in a crude but liberty-loving society
has a chance at least to be himself
without let or hindrance. If he has lit
tie guidance or teaching at least he is
not compelled, by the whole force of his
surroundings to accept inherited ideas.
If he is subjected to wrong influences,
he Is free TO cast them off as soon as he
sees their evil. II he is swept into the
current of great movements, even
though they may be partially evil in
their effect, that is at least better than
repression and suffocation. In word,
ii is better for mankind to think, even
TO think wrong than to be forbidden to
think at all; and though here ard there
a badly balanced or educated per-
son may come to grief by misinterpret-
ing the cold and unsympathetic facts of
science, ii should not be forgotten that
without great scientists, who seek the
truth. and nothing but the truth, we
should have an intellectual stagnation
which would spoil not one mind here
and there b,lt nine tanths of the pcoDIe

Schley Is now on the flagship Chicago at
Montevideo. He will return by passenger
vessels, going first to England and thence
to New York. He will probably not reach
this country until late in May.
Rear Admiral Schley wants to be as
signed to duty as Chairman of the Light
house Board in Washington until his re-
tirement from active service in October
next. The craftsmanship however, has
been promised to Rear Admiral Farquhar,
commander Of the North Atlantic Squad

No decision has been reached as to what
will be made OF Admiral Schley

TO SOLVE NAVAL PROBLEMS.
The War College Course to He Re.
sumed This Summer.

The summer course at the Naval War
College will be re-established this year,
despite the fact that there is such a short
age OF officers for active duty. The most
interesting feature in connection with the
course is that several problems, and not
one, as heretofore, will be submitted to
the class for theoretical and practical
demonstration.
While the Navy Department has pre-
pared the problems. it is not ready to
make them public yet. One of them, of
the Atlantic and Pacific Coasts of the
United States through the use of the
Nicaragua Canal. which, for the purpose
OF the problem, Is supposed to be in ex-
istence.
Another problem relates to the defence
of both coasts. with the Straits of Ma
geilan as the connecting link between the
Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. The third
problem concerns operations of the Amer
lean fleet against European nation
In order to enable the class to work out
the problems to some extent in a prsc-
teal way, the North Atlantic Squadron
will be assigned to duty in connection
with the War College. The Olympia, the
Kearsarge. the Alabama, the Illinois, the
Massachusetts. the Machias, and possibly
the Indiana, with fiotfiia OF torpedo
boats, VIII compose the squadron, and its
part In the discussion Of the problems and

In this way the regular class will be
augmented greatly.
