OL'K IU TY TO PORTO RICO. (From President AfrKlnlc-y's Mes sage to Congress.) "Since the cession Porto Rico has been denied the principal nmrkcts she had long enjoyed, aud ou- t art If have been continued against her pro ducts as when she was under Spanish sovereignty. The markets of Spain are closed to lier products except upon terms to which the commerce of all nations is subjected. The Island of Cuba, which used to buy her cattle and tobacco wiibmi custom duties, now imposes the same duties upjn these products as from any other country en tering her ports. She has. therefore, lost her free intercourse with Spain an Cuba, without any compensating benefits in this market. Her coffee was little known and not in use by our peo ple, and. therefore, there was no de maud here for this one of her chief pro ducts. The markets of the United States should be opened up to lier products. Oar plain Maty Is to abolish all rnstoms tariffs between the I'nlted states and I'orto Rico, and glva her products free access to our mar. kets." KKillT TIIF. VISONi OK OKI EAT IN NOVF.MHEIC. (editorial Chicago Tlmea-llerald. Administration Paper, Aoent House 15 Per Cent Porto Klcan Tariff.) If this wrong Is persisted in-if the rc.ubilcan party in congress, through false pride or in obstinate servility to the mysterious pow er behind the bouse bill, enacts its Porto Uico tariff law. It will become the overshadowing issue in the presidential campaign. Here in the west we know that such a tidal wave of popular Indignation would sweep across the pralr'es that the democrats would rapture the bouse of represent atives even if tbev did not defeat Prrs- Inent McKmiey.

Tiik Union is offering for sale a cnt-il tint multiplies with a slight twist of the wrist.'" The Union is to be commended on Wing awake to the needs of its partv. Republicans will iind just such a contrivance exceed ingly useful in attempting to figure republican majorities this campaign Year. Col. Ci.akk K. Cakk, of Galesburg. who is president of the American Maize propaganda, sails form New York City today for Paris. At the Paris exposition he and his associates will teach the people of the nations what palatable food can be made from Indian corn. What ha become of the American pork idea? Com;kman StLztii. of New York, declared in the house last week that after the passage of the McKioley tar iff law. 34 new trusts were organized, and since the McKinlev administration bu assumed power and the DiDglev I law bas gone into effect. 200 of such "monsters" have raised their beads in the country, with a capital aggregat ing f 7, 000 ,"000,000. A Sax Francisco dispatch sajs Miss Wheeler, daughter of Gen. Wheeler, who went out to Manila as a Red Cross nurse and worked in the medical and surgical wards caring for the sick and djing. says there is more distress and suffering among the American soldiers in the Philippines than the people of this country im agine. "Americans," said she, -'have a rather vague idea of what is actually going on over there. Many have a notion that the war in the Philippines is not a serious alTah, a sort of blood less .skirmishing. I saw many of my countrymen die, more than I like to recall or think about, and it is this experience that has saddened my life. When I sailed from this port last July I had many messages from mothers and sisters for sick soldiers in Manila. I came back with many more commis sions than were intrusted to me when I went, and they are all from boys who died in the hospital. This is the hard part of my coining home." As to Dewey's Bounty. The reduction of Admiral Dewey's bounty by the court of claims seems to be attributable to the fact that the men who framed the bounty law did not consider possible such naval skill and lighting acumen as Admiral Dewey displayed. The bounty law seems to be based on the supposition that American admirals would steam about in front of the harbor contain ing the hostile tleets until these fleets were ready to come out aud give bat tle. Those who framed it seem not to have supposed that a commander would defy mines, torpedoes and shore batteries and sail straight into a hos tile harbor in order to attack a fleet not greatly inferior to his own. For this reason Admiral Dewey's men must content themselves with the re ward of a tleet which attacks an in ferior. The law under which boun ties are dealt out seems to be in need of revision. The Worst Tet. Il is now given out in Washington, as coming from "a member of the cabinet," who, by the way, like the lather ol the 1 orto Kican hill, is name less, that the president urged in his annual message the removal of the Porto Ricjtn tariff, "not as a matter of legal right, but of liberal and humane public policy." Hut this member of the cabinet" explains when congress took up the matter it was discovered that there were inter ests in this country business and agricultural that poin-ed out the necessity of a tariff of some sort, "as a distinct assertion and exercise of the power to impose duties, however small, as an assurance that this pow er was reserved in other cases." And then this "member of the cabinet" goes on to declare that all would have been well, and the evidence of the na tion's generosity suggested by the president, carried into effect but for the fact that the opportunity was seized bv the administration's politi cal opponents to fasten an instance of the application or the free trade doc trine on the republican party. This would never do, and hence the presi dent became convinced of the advisa bility of the small tariff of 15 per cent. This is the argument that is put forth bv one who isstvled"a member of the cabinet" to convince the country that the course that has been pursued in Washington with reference to the Porto llicans is just and laudable. Herein are the "ins ami outs" of tht case that we have not known before. An act that was in the first place re garded by the president as "our pi tin duty" to the nation's ward, whether sustained by the constitution or not, is how to be set aside, not so much because it is not sustained by the constitution, but because the exer cise of that "plain duty" would afford a source of political capital to an op position party. In other words, such "liberal and humane public policy" as the president was wont to exercise to a dependency before the world, must be abandoned, on the theory that were it permitted, the political opponents of the existing administra tion might vindicate themselves by reasou of it. Hence the decision bv the party representatives that it would be better to exercise the right to tax. not for the sake of the revenue, but merely to show that the nation had that right to lew it. Was there ever such an exhibition of boys' play in high places, to ex press it ruildiy? It is announced in behalf of the nation's executive that he has turned from the path of "plain duty" as he had already seen and proclaimed that duty, in order to avoid the risk of affording to his po litical opponents the opportunity to criticise his policy.

Does It Fay to Buy Cheap? A cheap remedy for coughs and colds is all right, but you want some thing that will relieve and cure the more severe and dangerous r-ults of throat and lung trouoles. hat shall you do? Go to a warmer and more regular climate? Yes, if possible; if not possible for you, then in either case take the only remedy that has been introduced in all civilized coun tries with success in severe throat and lung troubles, "Hoschee's German Syrup." It not only heals and stim ulates the tissues to destroy the germ disease, but allays inflammation, causes easy expectoration, srives a good night's rest, and cures the pa tient. Try one bottle.
