Colonel. Bryan has been endeavor

have been ingloriously defeated, and
the people say that no matter bow
many more such candidates appear

WORK VS. WIND.
Hon. E. J. Burkett has had a few
days more than four months in con
gress and during that time has shown
as much good judgment and common
sense as anyone ever sent from the
state. Instead of making a fool of
himself , by making long winded
speeches he quietly went to work. It
takes a man several months at least to
become acquainted with the work and
with the members. Burkett has
started right He has not tried to
make a show of himself.
Senator Allen created a sensation
early In his career by making a four-teen-hour
speech and by ' getting
drunk. V7. J. Bryan was In congress
four years and during that time suc
ceeded in getting an elevator in the
postoffice in Lincoln. He spent most
of hia time making speeches for pub
lication. Dave Mercer has accomplished more,
Derbips, than all the other con res
men put together and he dasn't made
a speech yet. If Burkett will but keep
on working and let the other fellows
do the talking, ihe people of the First
congressional district will stny with
him to tho end.

PURIO KICAN BILL.
The News has been requested by a
number of its readers to give a sum
mary of the Porto Rican bill. SVw
questions will be discussed more dur
ing the next six months, and for that
reason evervone sbould. Know some
thine about it. Take time to read i
carefuMy:
The new law applies to the island o
I'orto Rico and to the adjacent islands
lying east of the seventy-fourth merid
ian, which are designated Porto Rico
By tho law's provisions tho same cus
torn duties are levied on all good
entering Porto Rico from foreign
countries as are levied on the same
goods entering tht United States, sav
that coffee, which has free entry into
the United .States, is to pay a duty of
cents a pound on entering I'orto Rico
Scientific, literary and artistic work
and books and pamphlets printed in
the English language may enter Porto
Rico free of duty.
The tariff section of the bill relating
to duties between the United States
ind Porto Rico is as follows:
"Oq and after the passage of this act
all morcbandise coming into the
United States from Porto Rico and
coming into forto ltico Irom tne
United States shall be entered at the
several ports of entry upon payment of
15 per cent of the duties which are re
quired to be levied, collected and paid
upon like articles of merchandise im
ported from foreign countries; and in
addition thereto upon articles of mer
chandise of Porto Rican manufacture
coming into the United States and
withdrawn for consumption or 6ale
upon payment of a tax equal to the in
ternal revenue tax imposed in the
United States upon the like articles of
merchandise of domestic manufacture
"Such tax is to b3 paid by internal
revenue stamp or stamps to be pur
chased and provided by the cominis
sioner of internal revenue, and to be
procured from the collector of internal
revenue at the point most convenient
to tho port of entry of said merchan
dise in tbe United St ites, and to be af
fixed under such regulations as tbe
commissioner of internal revenue, with
the approval of the secretary of the
treasury, shall prescribe.
' On all articles of merchandise of
United States manufacture coming
into I'orto Rico, in addition to the
duty above provided, there shall be a
payment of a tax equal in rate and
amount to the internal revenue tax
imposed in Porto Rico upon the like
articles of Porto Rican manufacture
Provided, that on and after the
date when this act shall take effect, all
merchandise and articles except coffee,
not dutiable under the tariff laws of
the United States, and all merchan
dise and articles entered in Porto Rico
free of duty under orders heretofore
made by tde secretary of war shall be
'admitted into the s'everal ports thereof,
when imported from the United States,
free of duty, all laws or parts of laws
to the contrary notwithstanding.
"Whenever the legislative assembly
of Porto Rico shall have enacted and
put into operation a system of local
taxation to meet the necessities of the
government of Porto Rico, by this act
established, and shall by resolution
duly passed so notify the president, he
shall make proclamation thereof, and
thereupon all tariff duties on merchan
dise and articles going into Porto Rico
from the United States or coming into
the United States from Porto shall be
entered at tho several ports of entry
free of dutv.
"In no event shall any duties be col
lected after the first day of March.
1902, on merchandise and articles go
ing into I'orto Rico from the United
States or coming into tho United
States from Porto Rico.
The duties coilect-.-d under the
above section shall bo placed at the
disposal of the president, to be used
for tho government and benefit of
'orto Rico until the government of
Porto Rico shall have been organized.
when the moneys collected shall be
turned into the local troa-ury of Porto
Rico .
Goods imported frcm Porto Rico
and under bond shall pay only tbe
duty imposed by this act."
Under tho governmental provisions
of tho new law the capital of Porto
Rico is located at San Juan. Persons
who were Spanish subjects April 11,
1S00, and who have not elected to pre
serve tneir allegiance to Spain are
held to be citizens of Porto Rico and
entitled to the protection of the
United States.
The governor is to be appointed by
the president and hold bis office for
four years, having the powers con
ferred on governors of territories of
the United States, but he is to make
his reports to tbe secretary of state to
the president.
An executive council, appointed by
the president and confirmed by the
senate, consisting of a secretary, at
torney general, treasurer, auditor,
commissioner oi interior ana eauca-
ion and five other persons, is to hold
ffica for four years. The council is
the upper branch of the legislature,
five of whom be natives of Porto Rico.
The other branch shall be a house of
delegates, to consist of thirty-five mem
bers elected biennially by the qualified
electors.
All citiz3ns of Porto Rico shall be al
lowed to vote who have ben bona
fide residents for one year and who
possess tne otner quawncaiions oi
voters under the laws' and military
orders in force on March 1,-1900, sub
ject to such modifications and addi
tional qualifications and such regula
tions as to registration as may be pre-
fCribed by tl executive council.
No person ..jail be eligible to mem
bership in the bouse of delegates who
is not tonty-five years of ageand able
to read and write either the Spanish
or tbe English language, or who is not
possessed in his own right of taxable
property, real or personal, eituated in
Porto Rico.
On the regulation day in November
and every two years thereafter Porto
II c j may choose a commissioner to
represent the island at Washington.
His salary is $5,000.
The civil government features of the
new law are to go into effect the first
of next month.
Millions 6lven Away.
It is certainly gratifying to the pub
lic to know of one concern in the land
who are not afraid to be generous to
the needy and suffering. The propri
etors of Dr. King's New Discovery for
Consumption, coughs and colds, have
given away over ten million trial
bottles of this great medicine; ar.d
have the satisfaction of knowing it has
absolutely cured thousands of hopeless
cases. Asthma, bronchitis,hoarseness
and all diseases of tbe throat, chest
and lungs are surely cured by it. Call
on F. G. Fricke & Co. druggists, and
get a free trial bottle. Regular size
50c and $1. Every bottle guaranteed.
Notlca.
The Eister services in the various
churches Sunday were well attended. To tho People of Plattsmouth nnd Cass
notwithstanding the inclemency of the
wealber. tie churches were approp
riately decorated for the occasion and
the attendants, generallj-, speak of the
services as both delightful and im
pressive. The extra efforts made to
have more and better music on Eister
is another reason the services are more
enjoyable. It being the anniversary
of so great an event it is but meet that
only tho best should be given in its
celebration by both pa9tors and choirs.
Those privileged to attend could oot
but feel uplifted and better prepared
to meet life's battles.

Burkett's explanation ot thePorto Rican
tariff ought to defeat him. It was one of the
must insane and weak things ever inflicted on a
suffering public Plattsmouth Journal.
The public should bear in mind that
tbe editor of the Journal was not
present to hear Mr. Burkett's explana
tion of the Porto Rican bill. People
who did hear it spoke of it in highest
terms. It is difficult to understand
how one can have the supreme nerve
to make such rank and unjust state
ments, having no foundatio-j whatever,
in fact.
What Do the Children Drink?
Don't give them tea or coffee. Have
you tried the new food drink called
Grain-O? It is delicious and nourish

more Grain-O you give the children
the more health you distribute through
their systems. Grain-O is made of
pure grains, and when properly pre
pared tastes like the choice grades of
coffee but costs about one-fourth as
much. All grocers sell it. 15c and 25c.
