PORTO RICANS AS AMERICAN CIT
IZENS.

After the United States took posses
sion O. Porto Rico there was 4 howl
from the anti-imperialists against the
provisional government established
there by our authorities. They wanted
the island to De made a part of the
United States and the Porto Ricans to
DC given as full citizenship as any resi-
der Of Massachusetts or North Caro-
lima if the island was to be held by US.
This was demanded as a right due the
Porto Ricans and one that they were
clamoring for. One would have sup
posed that the inhabitants of the is
land had instantaneously become
versed in all American way II
Csages and were anxious to at once
throw of all Spanish customs, modes
of living and of conducting their bust
ness whether of public OF private ma
ture. After due course of time Porto
Rico was made a part of the United
States and her people given the privi-
leges Of citizens of a territory.
Thz annual report of Attorney Gener-
al Harlan, of Porto Rico. shows with
what little interest the people of the
island viewed the change and how slow
they were TO give UP heir Spanish Gus
toms and modes of procedure. This IS
we'll illustrated in the one matter OF
trial by jury that palladium of Amer
lean liberty" This boasted privilege OF
the American citizen was unheard OF

The people of Kinston are getting
up petitions to the legislature TO pass
q stringent anti-dog law. They want
all dogs taxed and a further provision
that all dogs found Off their owners
premises shall be outlawed and put at
the mercy of the person on whose
premises they trespass. The good peU-
pie Of Kinston are wasting their zine.
The petitions, as far as any effect they
will have on the legislature, are not
worth the paper they are written Oh.
Il there is any one question North
Carolina legislators are afraid of it
Is that of taxing dogs. Before a North

A short time ago, by reG""st, Uncle

Jackson, which has been carried by him
ever since. Mr. Brock is 3 diGnif1ed old

DAILY STOCK MARKET REVIEW
Material Advances Scored in Dull But Firm Tradng-Pro
fesSiOnal Element Disposed to Cover Short Ac-
counts-Bank Statement Disappointing.

Notwithstanding the decline shown in
American stocks in London. the opera
tions here for foreign account were in
small volume Trading was largely of
strictly professional character. In
fact. the most conspicuous feature OF the
dealings was furnished by the absence
OF the rather pronounced pressure which
characterized yesterdays market.
The bank statement made a disap-
pointing showing, and was quite out OF
line with the preliminary estimates.
whereas the latter had indicated a gain
in actual cash OF upward OF $1,000. 900.
The actual figures showed an increase
OF only $4,000.
In the loan account an Increase of
11,2T4,0 900 appeared. Deposits increased
$l2.l30.00O, and in consequence surplus
reserves decreased sS.O16, 900. The banks
still hold SIS, 529. 600 in excess Of the law
full requirements.
IL was the common opinion that the
position Of the banks was actually much
stronger than indicated in the state
ment. although bank officers confessed
themselves puzzled TO account for the
very large increase in the loan account.

NEW YORK, Feb. 14.-American
stocks were materially depressed in the
London market today. but this matter
was in a measure Offset by the signing
of the protocol Of the Venezuelan ncgo-
tiations and by the glowing accounts Of
the cOuntry's traGI, set forth in the us
ual weekly reports Of the mercantile
agencies.
The stock market was dull but very
firm, and in a number Of instances ma
terial advances were scored Conspic-
uOus features of the dealings were Anal
gamated Copper, American Smelling.
Rubber Goods. St. Paul. the Wabash is
sues, Erie and Southern Railway COM
mon.
There was no special news bearing
upon any OF these stocks or upon the
market at large, but on account OF the
absence of any explanation of yester-
days pronounced weakness, the profess
sional element of the floor were dis
posed to cover short contracts. 1t was
expected also that the bank statement
would make a fairly good showing. ana
these views led to some buying OF
stocks.

ONE-CLIENT LAWYERS.

The poverty OF briehess barristers IS
as proverbial as that OF the church
mouse. II would not be an unnatural
mistake 10 consider a barrister with
only one client hardly better of than
one with none. But the modern one
client lawyer" Is usually a prosperous
individual Said a man well known in
the business world some years ago 10
a friend: Il want a young lawyer to put
down at desk beside mine I'll famlI-
iarize him with my affairs and then
want him 20 keep me out Of trouble"
The counterpart Of this lawyer. whose
duty IL Is 10 act as his own clients
ounce OF prevention. may be found in
the Office Of many large concerns.
He is often connected with trust com
panios, banks, banking houses. railroad
and other transportation companies and
large Wholesale mercantile houses.
When a merchant found himself in a
tanRle Il was once the custom for him
70 &C 70 his lawyer for advice. The re-
suits were a written opinion" and a
fee. The business man today obtains
a lawyer who shall work for him alone.
Again the field of the general practi-
toner Is nafrowed.-World's Work.
