Drc. 2J. Senator J. B , J'ornkcr has made a reply to the 10- ( cnt njccph at Ann Arbor , Mich. , of lontier President Harrison , In which Mr. Harrison criticised thn Porto Rlcan policy of the government , char acterizing It as a deinrturo from cor rect principles. In a uptech before the Mamittieturers' club of thin city lutu night Senator Foiiker said on this point : All the questions arising under the Porto Rlcan legislation are soon to bo [ mscil upon by the supreme court. For that icascn I do not care to discuss them at this time , but It la In order to Bay that the view taken by congress , as reflected by that legislation , was crcl- ( itnblo to the generosity , patriotism and th6 industrial spirit of the American [ icoplc. Wo found Porto Rico'as poor an poverty could make her. She had , no money , no credit , no syntem of taxation of any kind. She wanted a civil gov- sinmcnt and a revenue to tmnpoit It. We gave her a far moro llbsral civil government than wan over given to any territory prior to the civil war , so far las participation In It by her .icoplo Is concerned , and wo deajt by icr moro generously In providing sup- iort for that government than wo invo over yet dealt with any territory. Jn 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 , wo did what was never done before for , anybody else ; for In all other cases wo have not only required the payment of these same duties , but wo have also re quired them , when they were col lected , to bo paid , Into the national treasury at Washington for the com mon benefit of the whole country , and , an to duties on commerce between Porto Rico and the United States , we did not levy 15 per cent , but wo re mitted 85 per cent of the existing on a number of articles , and the whole duty on til the rest , and provided that the 15 per cent should be remitted af ter March 1 , 1002 , or sooner if the legislature of Porto Rico shall pro vide , nnd that in the meanwhile all collections of 15 per cent b"th there nnd 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 ralso Indis- pciiBlblo revenue for their govorn- nnd not because it was in any sense of Jmy benefit to either our government or other people. The Porto Rlcan legislature Is now In session , but neither that bpdy nor any member of It , nor anybody else , has taken any stop to repeal or alter the tax system so Imposed by con gress. On the contrary , all testify nllko to the highest satisfaction with what congress has done , and the re quest will bo almost unanimously made that the provisions enacted may bo continued , If not indefinitely , at least until some satlsfactoVy sys tem of proper taxation may be sub mitted. In addition , it should bo stated that congress , also in the same generous nplrlt , exempted Porto Rico from all internal revenue taxation another favor never before extended to any part qf our people nnywhero. Yes , it Is true that the legislation for Porto Rico was a "departure , " but It Is not true that It was a "departure from correct principles. " BOER LEADER NOW IN TRAP.

A rr ) Jlepresentntlon at the Meeting Held In Lincoln. LINCOLN , Dec. 31. The State Ll- brnry association met here1 In conjunct tlon with the teachers' association. There were ten libraries represented. The first impor was read by P'rof. W , K. Jlllson , librarian of the Doano college - lego library. Mips Dennis of the hin- 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 Nebraskans - kans against making the mistake of getting a library commission 'with ' no means of support , as has been done lu. Georgia , Kansas and New Jersey. Ho naid : "No state can afford to lot n popu lar demand for libraries dlo 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 lester 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 moro to have a well-bred , intelligent , happy , home-loving citizenship ; and what moro directly to the purpose than the free public library ? The schools that cost us so much money and are worth far moro than they cost on- fortunately lose their hold upon a largo majority of the children of the state before they reach the critical ago 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 serlous'buslncss of life first projects itself upon the young mind ? Statistics everywhere confirm the conclusions of the crlmlnologista that the blossoming period of crimin ality 7d between twenty an < l thirty years of ago and the criminal's train ing years are from the first conscious ness of manhqod 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 anijl 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 ana right living within the easy reach of all is throw ing away the opportunity of the ages.
