Without deprecating the ability
of either of Iho men above men

has a man that would bo more ac
ceptable to the people of the slate
than either Messrs. Thompson or
Webster. Senator F. M. Curne ,
who so ably represented this sena
torial district in the legislature two
years ago , is not only thoroughly
competent to fill the position of
United States senator , but would
bo a popular candidate with the
masses. With him ag a candidate
endorsed by the state convention ,
with another equally competent and
popular there would bo but litllc
doubt of the political complexion
of the next legislature , nor of the
suoooBB of the republican state and
national ticket.
Senator Currie is one of the few
members of the lost legislature who
did not become tangled up with

Vl.ile under the Dingloy law a
have wo
per cent-of Dinglcy
taVlu. Lot mo answer this and fix
it in your mind. ' Porto Rico is
poor and has been swept by devcs
ta'ing and dontruolivo floods. Her
people are not at this time and in
j their present condition able lo pay
oxpeiifi. s of their government. No
one wants th ; United States to pay
tlio expenses of running the gov
ernments ol any of our several new
possessions. The people themselves
in each of the isbndb of the groups
should pay thur own ( xpenses.
How is Porlo Rico to do this ?
Now tnat she has no local govern
ment we must first irivo her a local
government and both houses of
congress are at work upon that
problem , and in my opinion thut
problem will bo wisely solved when
it is dono. 13ut it will take a year
and .1 half or two yearn to formu
late a government for her and to
put in running order , so that those
people , with thrir own government
machinery , may raise mono } to run
their own government.
"In the tn riant hue what should we
do ? Follow the advice of the syn
dicates and trusts and tax this desolate
elate island on their lands or their
limited productions ; ode as we
propose and put this trilling duty
upon their exports and imports and
give every dollar of it back to them
to run their government ? Thie
will bo felt by none except the syn
dioates and trusts and such inter
ests that will do the buying there
and shipping to Porto Rico. In
directly , of course , some of this
will bo paid by consumers , but it
will fall lightly upon them-and the
burden will fall imprecoptiblo ,
while a direct tax would bo simply
brutal and inhuman.
"The bill also provides that this
tax shall expire iu two years , which
ia time enough to nltow the gov-
ornmtnt machinery of Porto Rico
to get into wcrking order. There
is no piopositiou to put a perma
nent burden upon Porto Rico , but
it is merely a temporary expedient
for its own interest.
"My friend , never was a bill so
misrepresented and misunderstood
as our Porto Rioan bill , and the
time will come , iu ( he near future
when those who propose a direct
tax which would result Irora abso
lute free trade will suffer in every
possible way for their misguided
conduct , for their selfish acls.
"What the senate is going to do
is problematical. It has its share
of cowards. The senate is always
the body upon which Iho great in
terests concentrate their interests to
defeat proper legislation. Hut this
fact remains , that I have kuowl-
edge that I have done my simple
duty and have done it in consulta
tion and in co-operation with the
president of the United States ,
whoso heart is quick to feel the
afiliotions of this little island. I

It is time this declaration was stud
ied and understood by all true Am
ericans.
It may bo assumed as a fact that
Bryanism has put itself in opposi
tion to all history. Its low inter
pretation of rights is as the vapor-
ings of a foolish man in comparison
with the higher ideas hold by the
populists. Why populists should
abandon their field to join such a
contradiction of reform in. past sur-
miso.
Yes , "all men are created equal , "
to the rights of "life , liberty and
the pursuits of happiness , " but if a
man does not choose to exorcise his
rights consistent with the rights of
others , he is very apt to have others
put restraint upon him. This is
just where the trouble with Aguin
aldo is.
'Squaw Tibbies made a great hit
when ho proclaimed to the fusion
0 invention that the republicans are
now grinding out millions of dollars
lars to elect McKinloy. We wonder
dor how tbat rot struck some of tbo
Ouster county delegates
When the fall campaign "s " on
and republicans throw the full light
of history , both sacred and common ,
on the dangerous grounds taken by
Bryan , wo predict such an over
throw of modern Calhounism as
has seldom .been soon.
That trick of Mark llanna'a in
taking Bill Deoh out from among
the straight pops and dumping him
into the fusion ranks was a capital
hit. It relieved the true pops of f
mighty load , and planted Deol
right among his own kind.
It begins to look as if tlio spirit
of John C. Calhoun was being re
vived in Bryan democracy. There
is need of a little more of old Jack-
sonian democracy just now to wal
lup the yoi ug bautling into hia
anuses.
That remark of Tom Holliday's
in the county convention about re
fusing to bo a democratic pall bear
er , etc. , ought to throw eomo sus
picion upon llolliday ; Mark Hanna
will got him yot.
We have just a little suspicion
about the relation between J. R
Rhodes and Mark Ilanna. Can it
bo possible that Mark gave Rhodes
a tip just before the pop county
convention.
It might bo well just now to in
quire what Bryan would do with
the Indians of Alaska , if the "con
1 tilution follows the flig. " Would
ho enforce it iu full without their
consent ?
If Bryan wants the United States
to ' build and fortify the Nioara-
guan canal , " ho must expect the
Hag to carry the constitution there
also. Still ho would not have any
expansion.

John C. Calhoun always thought
the consent of the governed was to
bo applied to states. Jacksou stall
ed the "flag and constitution" after
him.
It is now very evident that it was
easier to pitch D. Clem Doaver
over the transom than it will bo for
fusion to carry the state of Nebras
ka again.
Bryan's platform endorses the
initiative and referendum wherever
it can bo carried out , but he wants
the constitution enforced wherever
the flag goes. Great statesman 1
