Following an established custom. we
TODAY. take leave of Mr.. Elliott in tn
same way as in the case of other
lfunctionarjes who leave our shores.
Persistent rumorS are to the effect
| that the Commissioner of the Interior
will not return tothe colony, that his
going is final, and this impels US to
accord him more elaborate farewell,
as perhaps it will be the last tine we
will have the p]eaEure of occupying
ours selves with this functionary and
giving him wise and beneficial coun-
|sel.
Mr.. Elliott sails today.
We discharge our duty to the pu
blic by informing it of the highly aus
picious event, giving it the eminently
satisfactory notice Of the above depar-
|ture, and celebrating the joyous oc'
|curence in brief and eloquent phrase
as farewell and commentary on the
departure of the Bismarck of the il
|quidation.
There goes this. ... we might say
|seusibly and it would be quite sufh
|cient for the deserts of that funcrionsry
over whose departure we are rejoicing
all the good bye to which he is enti-
tiled.
But we do not wish to be accused of
partiality or discrimination, which
would be a just charge were we to
give Mr.. Elliott less attention on his
|de parture than that accorded to the
other members of the congregation,
Particularly as he has been the most
|tempestuous of the sacred congrega-
Ition.
They all merit the same treatment
And as Mr. Elliott has been the worst
the one vino has done the r1ost dam
age, the one who has, most prosecuted
the natives, it would not be fitting to
allow him to take his departure in sill
ence, without celebrating the event
with the most noisy manifestations OF
approval on the part Of those who can
|see ahead relief from an oppressive
and crushing incubus.
Now is suitable time to review
the work Of the Commissioner OF the
In terror. The most notable, without
doubt, was the removal from his dep
artme ut of the Porto Rican officials;
the most sublime was the suppression
|of the road inspectors, which has left
|tha high ways and roads to the devast-
ling influences of abandonment.
And besides those two perfcrman-
Ices, and in addition TO them, he has
not done more than pass over the bad
roads constructed during his caliph-
ate. or that of his predecessor and
namesake, showing his marvellous
equestrian abilities, Notwithstanding
the epi. ode Of the three falls; or in
rapid fights in automobiles, inbaling
the breezes aad collecting his per
|diem.
1t is certain thai in order to exercise in
