Ell PRINCIPLE DEL FIN

Cualq ulef ODSerVa adOr 1ulc1OSO que
haya venido estudi ando los actos rea-
lizados por ell partido republican,
puertorriquefo, habra al fin exclama-
do con toda la pontaneidad de un
convencimiento frmfsimo: "Ha dado
principle el fl de esa colectividad po-
Utica, destruda por su propia base 3"
No cabe duda que ell partido repu-
blicano Va q su completa desaparici6n
debido q sus muchos de3aciertOs &
ia. incOusecuencia de sus hombres, en-
el mantenimientos de los principles
fundamentals de su programa.
La disparidad de criterios, a iu-
meusa confusion de ideas que Sc han
maufestado, sin unA orientaci6a dja:
la poca ninguna seriedad de los ac-
tos llevados cabo Y, por 1timo, la
nmbici6n torpe personal creando
obet4culos la conservation de los
principio5 aceptados, son causas su-
hclentes para la actual decadeucia
del republicanismo eu Puerto Rico.
que al nacar, apareci6 entre los hom-
bres pensadores del pals, como un en-
iendro fatfdico del odio.
Eu las asambleas polfticas del
partidO republican, de esta isla, ha
taltado siempre la nota seria y patri6-
tica de que no debe prescindirse jamas,
cuando sc trata de la defensa de los
respetables intereses de un pueblo.
En a Asamblea del 26 alguien ad-
virti6 la incOnsecuencia conque proce-
dfa la mayor parte dc los senores de-
legados en- los asuntos que allf Sc ira
taron. HuDo un momento en- que Sc
impuso la censura, condenaudo actos
realizados, cOntrarios al orden la
iusticia. Las practicas de la demo
cracia estuvieron muy l6jos de mani
festarse en- esa asamblea, tai como las
han decantadO nuestros adversarios
en- sus elucubraciones de la tribuna
pdblica. Pero bien pronto esos gritos
de protesta fueron ahogados por la
vo2 de a discipline dc pdrtido.
Lo repetimos: falta seriedad, fall
tan los impulses generosos del patrio-
tismo en- las reuniones polfticas del
partido republican,. Y clio es causa
de que falten hoy tambien q esa colec-
tividad los necesarios prestigios, sin
los cuales es impossible que los parti-
dos polfticos tengan arraigo en- la OPT
nion, y puedan sostenerse decorosa-
mente en- la vida pGblica.
Triste mission la de esos partidos
faltos de una base s6lida que los ha-
ga poderosos, por la fuerza de las
ideas que sustentan. Ellos Sc han en-
cargado siempre de regar por do quie-
ra la fatal simiente de los odios, CO.
locando & los hermanos en- la palria,
uno frente al otro, en- la contienda
sangrienta fraticida. Mission iris
te; mission nefasta de reprobos in
sensatos!
El partido republicano puertorri-
quefio toca d su termino. Desaparece
de la arena, no como los partidos que
han cumplido un deber collective, sino
que desaparece con un estigma, AFRO
jadole por las vfctimas de su en-
gaho.

FAST RUNNING
 ON IRON MOUNTAIN,

In this latter day when all roads are trying to lower all rec ords in point of fast trains, it may be of interest to the people, says the Democrat of Little Rock, to know that the Iron Mountain is making some of the fastest time on the main line ever seen in this section of the country. Engineer Adams of the Iron Mountain reports that with en- zine No. 1895 he made a run last week of 105 1-2 miles in 119 minutes. This included no less than three full stops, which will bring the actual running time down to near 106 minutes or a mile a minute.
 At the same time Engineer Mullen with engine No. 1901 made 119 miles in 15O minutes, including stops. It is said that the eastern roads will have to put on electricity as motive pow CT and run lighter trains if they desire to keep in the lead.
