noso en- este caluroso invierno del

que surjan difcultades por desave-

que ell consejo procedera esta vez

juicios a,atipuertorriqueHos. Nal con-
seiero es la previa antipatia entire

Por muy recia que sea la politiea
del gobierno de los Estados Unidos

es su deber, a faltar & Ia considera-
cion y respecto que debe inspirarle
nuestra camara popular; y por muy
acendradas que esten todavia las
pasiones de la politica de partido, no

por ell compatriotismo, esgrimendo
la provocaci6n y ell insulto contra
sus hermanos, para que el gobierno
sonrfa a los que, en- alas de tales pa
stones, pudieran dejarse arrebatar.
No nos parece, de otro lado, que ell
gobierno de hoy baje sus anteojos
al nivel de esas luchas domesticas;
antes pensamos que lie inspire ell con-
vencimiento de que, en- la ammonia,
en- ell m mltuo respeto y en- Ia sinceri-
dad, esta el resorte de un buen ira
bajo de constitution de este pals.
La legislature, pues, inicia su pc
