Porto Rioo More Generously Treated Than Any of the Territories. PEOPLE SATISFIED WITH THE LAWS Local Legislators lias Authority to Ke paal tba Tariff If It Wishes, hot Has Mot Done So—All Is Progressing Fa vorably. CINCINNATI, Dec. 23.—Senator J. B. Foraker has made a reply to the r«^ cent speech at Ann Arbor, Mich., of former President Harrison, in which Mr. Harrison criticised the Porto Blcan policy of the government, char acterizing it as a departure from cor rect principles. In a speech before the Manufacturers’ club of this city last night Senator Foraker said on this point: All the questions arising under the Porto Rican legislation are soon to be passed upon by the supreme court. For that reason I do not care to discuss them at this time, but it Is in order to say that the view taken by congress, as reflected by that legislation, was cred itable to the generosity, patriotism and the Industrial spirit of the American people. We found Porto Rico as poor as poverty could make her. She had no money, no credit, no system of taxation of any kind. She wanted a civil gov ernment and a revenue to support it We gave her a far more liberal civil government than was ever given to any territory prior to the civil war, so far las participation in it by her people is concerned, and we dealt by her more generously in providing sup port for that government than we have ever yet dealt with any territory. In requiring her to pay tariff duties on Imports from foreign countries we did only what we did with Louisiana, Florida, California and all our other territories: but in allowing her to put these duties, when collected, into her own treasury for the support of her local government, we 'did what was never done before for anybody else; for in all other cases we have not only required the payment of these same duties, but we have also re quired them, when they were col lected, to be paid Into the national treasury at Washington for the com mon benefit of the whole country, and, as to duties on commerce between Porto Rico and the United States, we did net levy 15 per cent, but we re mitted 85 per cent of the existing on a number of articles, and the whole duty on al the rest, and provided that the 15 per cent should be remitted af ter March 1, 1902, or sooner if the legislature of Porto Rico shall pro vide, iand that in the meanwhile all collections of 15 per cent b-th there and in the United States, shall be paid over to Porto Rico for her own support. Wo made this provision be cause It was the best and least bur densome way possible to raise lndls pensible reveiyio for their govern and not becauso It was In any sense of }my benefit to either our government or other people. The Porto Rican legislature Is now li: session, but neither that body nor any member of It, nor anybody else, has taken any step to repeal or alter the tax system so imposed by con gress. On the contrary, all testify alike to the highest satisfaction with whait congress hias done, and the re quest will be almost unanimously made that the provisions enacted may be continued, if not Indefinitely, at least until some satisfactory sys tem of proper taxation may be sub mitted. In addition. It should be stated that congress, also In the same generous spirit, exempted Porto Rico from all | Internal revenue taxation—another favor never before extended to any part of cur people anywhere. Yes, It is true that the legislation for Porto Rioo was a “departure,” but it is not true that it was a “departure from correct principles.’’ BOER LEADER MOW IN TRAP, London and the Continent Hear That Dewet Has Been CaptnredU LONDON, Doc. 29.—Persistent re ports aro in circulation in London and on the continent that General De-wet has been captured.

A Fair Representation at the Meeting Held In Lincoln. LINCOLN, Dec. 31.—'The State Li brary association met here in conjunc tion with the teachers* association. There were ten libraries represented. The first paper was read by Prof. W. E. Jlllson, librarian of the Doane col lege library. Miss Dennis of the Lin coln city library read a paper on "Li brary Co-operation in Lincoln.” She urged the systematic planning of the development and management of Lin coln libraries, so that each may com plement the other. Mr. Brigham cautioned the Nebras kans against making the mistake of getting a library commission with no means of support, as has been done in Georgia, Kansas and New Jersey. He said: "No state can afford to let a popu lar demand for libraries die out for want of sustenance. No state can af ford to let the library movement with in its borders fritter away in vain attempts on the part of benevolent but financially weak organizations to per form educational functions which do not properly belong to them. The duty of the state to foster and develop free public libraries is quite, as im perative as is the duty of the sate to foster and develop free public schools. The reasoning which lies at the base of our public school system also sustains the superstructure of that system—the public library. If it is worth anything to the state to have an educated citizenship, it is worth more to have a well-bred. Intelligent, happy, home-loving citizenship; and what more directly to the purpose than the free public library? The schools that cost us so much money—and are worth far more than they cost—on fortunately lose their hold upon a large majority of the children of the state before they reach the cruical age of 15. A vital question for the citizen is: Should the education which makes for good citizenship cease at the very point at which the serious business of life first projects Itself upon the young mind? Statistics everywhere confirm the conclusions of the criminologists that the blossoming period of crimin ality Ik betw.een twenty and thirty years of agq and the criminal’s train ing years are from the first conscious ness of manhood and womanhood, early in the teens, to that dangerous period of action beginning early in the twenties. The community that has nothing to offer the young but the licensed saloon and the regularly-fined and therefore virtually licensed broth el and makes no move for the enrich ment of community life through the entertaining, instructing, reforming and elevating influence of good liter ature deserves its heavy expense bill for criminals and paupers and also deserves the disgraceful record and awful consequences of criminality. The state that makes no effort to induce communities to raise the standard of citizenship by placing the incentives to high thinking and right living within the easy reach of all is throw ing away the opportunity of the ages.” Immense Crop of Wheat. M’COOL, JUNCTION, Neb., Dec. 31. —Ten thousand bushels of first-quality winter wheat Is the amount. Mr. Kuns has just stored in his granary, the yield from 300 acres Just threshed.

Schwind and James C. McNerny of Lincoln came to Baltimore and under the au thority of Auditor Cornell spent two days in a "pretended examination of its affairs, for which they put in a claim to the plaintiff of $670 for fees.

Such action, it is alleged, will work great injury to the plaintiff, not only in this, but in oth er states.

Currie of Broken Bow is in the city. Speaking of the coming ses sion of the legislature the senator said that the western part of the state would have tome important matters to •bring before the lawmakers, the most urgent of which is an amendment to the revenue law. “Custer county, ’ said the senator, “has enough money to her credit in the form, of delin quent taxes to pay it3 running ex penses for three years and we will ask the legislature to devise a plan by which we can secure the greater part of these funds. Under the exist ing conditions practically all real es tate taxes have to be collected by sales the same as in the foreclosure of a mortgage. The property has to be ap praised and must bring two-thirds of the appraised valuation. In the case of many western counties the county has to be the purchaser in order to secure its lien and to do this must, in many instances, pay to the holder of the title in the land several hun dred dollars. If much property is sold to the counties under this system they would find their funds exhausted. “It has been suggested that the leg islature provide that, in the case of sale of property for t»xes, the valua tion be dispensed with and let the land bring what it will at forced sale. Whether this provision would be con stitutional or not I do not know, but some scheme must be devised for the collection of taxes.” C«»»rtiiofor Loc’’ TVTnrt.*11v Hurt LINCOLN, Neb., Dec. 29.—Conductor Edward Locke of the Missouri Pacific was seriously injured in an accident that occurred at Union.

They are doing a great business in London, and there will be more of them soon. Americans promise to have.control of nearly all the systems.’* Referred Him to One IT ho Knew.
