The Itryanlte party endeavors to make
political capital out of the course of the
government In regard to Porto Itleo.
No fair-minded man who reads tin
statement of President Me Kill Icy as to
the policy pursued toward the Island can
doubt that It was wine and that It has
been productive of the most satisfactory
results. When In his last annual lues-
sage the president recommended free
trade between the United States and
Porto Itleo there were conditions and clr
cumstaiices of which he then had no
accurate knowledge. To have Imposed
upon the Islanders an Internal tax for
the support of the government would
have been an Intolerable blunder
Whereas the very moderate duty which
congress has prescribed, every dollar of
the revenue from which goes to the
support of government in Porto Itleo,
Is not In tho least degree nn embarrass'
ment to the people of tho Island, but
on tho contrary Is proving an nbsolute
benefit to them, since they are relieved
of what would have been oppressive In
ternal taxation.
Mr. Mckinley says: "The generous
treatment of tho Porto Itlcans accords
with tho most liberal thought of our own
country and encourages the best as
pirations of the people of the Island."
While they do not have Instant free com
mercial Intercourse with the United
States they can have It whenever the
people of the Island, through their leg
islative, decide that they are able to
support a government from Internal
taxation. Under tho policy adopted by
congress two and n (iiarter million of
dollars have gone Into tho treasury of
Porto Hleo, In addition to which one
and a half million of dollars have been
expended by the United States for the
benefit of the Island. In view of this the
president certainly makes no mistake In
declaring as generous the policy of the
government toward Porto Wen.
Mr. MeKlnley says that "under (he
new law and the Inauguration of civil
government there has been a gratifying
revival of business. The manufactures
of Porto Weo are developing, Its prod
ucts are Increasing, its tarlll Is yield
ing Increased returns, its fields arc being
cultivated, free schools are being estab
lished. Notwithstanding tho many em
barrassments Incident to n change of
national conditions, Porto Itleo Is rap
idly showing the good effects of its new
relations to this nation." The statistics
bear this out, showing ns they do that
for the fiscal year ending June I!0 last
the trade between the United States and
Porto Hleo was more than JF'-'.OOO.ooO in
excess of the previous year. This con
clusively demonstrates that the slight
tariff of 15 per cent Is not In the least
degree hurtful to the business of the
island.
The people of Porto Itleo have had a
most unfortunate experience, since they
came under the jurisdiction of the
United States, In having their land dev
astated by a hurricane, but for which
there Is no question that they would now
bo very much better off than they were
under Spanish rule. Many things t hat
then oppressed them have been removed
and they are being given a lesson in
self-government, that was unknown to
them under Spanish domination. There
are pollticla'ns in the Island who are not
quite satisfied with existing conditions,
because these do not 11 Hon! them
the opportunities for personal gain they
had hoped for, but there Is no reason
to doubt that the people generally are
satisfied and look with confidence to a
future of Improvement and prosperity
under American rule and direction.
siaxivRwxvn of com, Kxronrn.
The fact that Kuropo is making n
large nnd steadily Increasing demand
upon the United States for coal pos
sesses a slgnlllcnnce which Is not com
monly apprehended. It has a bearing
upon the business of tills country and
Its future commercial and manufactur
ing possibilities that Is forcefully pointed
out by the president of the Merchants'
association of New York.
The foundations of Knglnnd's manu
facturing greatness are cheap coal and
cheap ore. The same is true In 11 lessor
degreo of Belgium, Germany and
Franco. The cost of Kngland's coal
supply has rapidly Increased during re
cent years. Most of the coal used in
Its Iron Industry is mined more than
2,000 feot below the surface and costs
much more per ton than American coal
costs. Similar conditions prevail on tho
continent of Kuropo, where both fuel
and raw materials are Increasing in
cost. It Is a plain economic principle
that no nation which pays long-distance
freight charges on raw materials and
fuel can hold Its own in manufactures
nnd commerce against a nation which
produces Its own raw materials nnd
fuel In close proximity to each other,
which converts them near their sources
with equal skill and with equal econ
omy In labor cost and shop cost, and
whoso Industries are In the midst of
the richest and most prosperous popula
tion of the world.
This, It Is pointed out. Is today the
relative position of the United States
and the nations of Kuropo. From n de
pendent agricultural nation this country
has grown to be the greatest among
manufacturing nations. It has fairly
proved Its ability, utider the fostering
nnd stimulating Inlluence of a wise eco
nomic policy, as a competitor for for
eign trade In manufactured products,
especially those In which raw materials
are largely mineral products. The pres
ent movement of coal Is merely a symp
tom of the conditions which precede
nnd compel great Industrial migrations
to the sites of greatest advantage and
It Is regarded as foreshadowing the
gradual removal of many manufactur
ers from Kuropo to the United States,
where the conditions most favorable to
economic production are combined most
fully.
The movement of the manufacturers
to the United States has already begun
nnd 11s a result wo each year ship less
raw materials and more manufactured
products. The president of the New
York Merchants' association says: "Tho
present obstacles to the further develop
ment of manufactures In the United
States are political. The countries of
Kurope are rapidly partitioning nearly
all the rest of the world, except America
among themselves. They are building
political walls about their newly ac
quired possessions, which will close
them against American manufactures.
The true 1 ml Icy of this country Is to
provide for the prosperity of nil classes
within Its borders, particularly the
farming class, by developing to the full
est possible extent foreign outlets for Its
manufactured products. The way to
this policy Is now open to us. It has
been fairly begun by the present ndtnln
Istration and will be continued If that
administration remains In power. In
my opinion It would be a national ca
lamlty to dismiss an administration
with a dellnlto and necessary policy of
trade expansion and replace It, by oiie
of 110 policy except of opposition."
This Is the view of a man of practl
cal allalrs and It Is entitled to the cure
ful consideration of all who desire the
continued growth nnd development of
the Industries of the United States.

The whole civilized world Is shocked
Immeasurably at the appalling results of
the Galveston disaster.
It goes without saying that not within
the history of tho country Is a catastro
phe recorded which has wrought so
much death and destruction. Nothing
approaching It has occurred since the
destruction of .Johnstown In the Cone
hiatigh valley about tell years ago.
Nothing which the hand of man could
have done could have prevented this
catastrophe, which Is to be ascribed to
the work of the elements alone. Under
such conditions the necessity for prompt
and generous aid to tho Injured and
homeless will bo recognized by all In
this city.
Mayor Moores, In accordance witli the
suggestion of the mayor of Houston,
has opened a subscription list, to which
all humanitarian citizens should re
spond as liberally as their means will
allow. The people of Nebraska have
always been ready to extend a helping
hand .to those in distress and no occa
sion over called for more prompt and
decided action than the present.
The best way to show substantial
sympathy will be through contributions
to tho relief fund.
The administration Is giving convinc
ing proof that it does not Intend lo be
come Involved In any Kuropean broils
over the settlement of nffalrs In China.
Unless something happens which ren
ders the continued presence of the
troops necessary, and this Is not antic
ipated, they will nil be out of Peklu
mil possibly out of China before the
advent of cold weather. In spite of
all the criticisms of the opposition,
which are directed more at what It is
asserted the administration Is going to
do rather than what It has done, the
course of this government has been ab
solutely correct.
The mid-road pupullsts are going
right along making nominations In the
various congressional districts and do
not seem to have much trouble finding
candidates either, In spite of the fact
that their only object can be the preser
vation of the autonomy of the party
from threatened democratic absorption.
Republicans one and nil, without re
gard to former factional association,
concede that the legislative ticket nomi
nated by Saturday's convention Is su
perior in every way and deserving of
the enthusiastic support of tho entire
rank and file. The democrats will have
to do all the kicking on the ticket.
The Hoe's editorial comment 011 tho
republican legislative ticket by mistake
omitted the name of Vaclav Buresh
from the list of house nominees. Mr.
Huresh is a Hohemlnn-Amoricnn of such
high standing among his own people nnd
the entire community that special en
dorsement Is hnrdly necessary.
One of the democratic clubs of South
Omaha denies that it is dead, but ex
pects to hold on and have the ob
sequies at the same time as other fusion
organizations. While there Is no ap
parent object In Its lingering. It would
be heartless to disregard the last wish
of the departing.
The olllcers of tho Mine Workers'
union have certainly done the wise
thing In taking a conservative course
on ordering a strike of the anthracite
miners. The calling out of such a large
body of men would be dltlloult to ex
cuse until every other resource had been
exhausted.
"A tramp orator" Is billed to speak be
fore South Omaha democrats 011 "The
American Tramp, the Cause and the
Cure." All who have any desire to be
cured of tho habit have been restored
by MeKlnley prosperity. Those who
are still 111 will not take the medicine.

A Now Jersey reader of tho Hecord asks:
"Can It be that you consider the free and
unlimited coinage of silver uioro dangerous
than Imperialism?"
If by "Imperialism" our Interrogator
means simply the attempted establishment
of colonial rulo In Porto Itleo and the Phil
ippines as distinguished from the form of
government heretofore established In ter
ritory acquired by the United States, tho
Hecord believes free sliver colutge to bo
the greater peril.
There Is no danger whatever of Im
perialism In the 1'nlted States In the or
dinary meaning of that term, nnd there Is
little doubt that the supremo court will
rcouKo mo cnort or tho republican party
to make ono tariff law for one part of the
country and another for nnothor part, In
violation of tho constitutional rule of uni
formity. Against cheap money experiments there
Is no safeguard except In the saving com
mon aenso of the people, tho remembrance
of past bitter experiences In our own coun
try nnd tho knowledge of like experiences
In other countries.
There Is no democrat In the field for the

Monument (o Hie Memory of llii- Coni-
MiHr-r of '.SinMincc Hlir,"
Stephen Collins Foster Is to be honored
with a nionumont la Pittsburg, where he
was born nnd where he spent many yenrs
of his life. Lnwrenccvllle. Pa., tho actual
placo of his birth, Is now part of Pittsburg,
and whon attention was called to that fact
several yenrs ago it was determined to see
what could he done toward raising n monu
ment to tho memory of the man who wrote
" 'Way Down on the Suwanec Htvcr,"
'Mnssa's In tho Cold, Cold Oround," "Old
Illack Joe" and many other bongs. The
contributions for tho monument camo from
many sources, although moat of them
naturally were given by citizens of Pitts-
buig. The statue Is to bo unveiled today In
Highland park, under very Interesting cir
cumstances. A chorus of children's voices
to the number of .1,000 has been made up In
Pittsburg, Allegheny nnd McKessport, tho
threo towns of tho county, and It will be de
voted almost exclusively to tho singing of
Foster's muBlc. A collection of hands from
other cities will supply. the orchestral mu
sic, nnd that will be made up entirely of
l'03tcr s songs.
This statuo Is to bo the first one set up In
Highland park and the committee has ex
ercised caro to protect Itself against unsatis
factory work. The base of the memorial Is
of granlto nnd is fourteen feet high. The
figures arc In bronze. The poet Is seated
nnd holds In his hnnd a book and pencil.
Seated at his feet is nn old negro, who Is
playing on a banjo. The song composer Is
evidently seeking Inspiration from the ne
gro's music. Tho stntuc Is to bo placed at
the left of the main entranco of tho park.
It Is proposed to make tho exercises at the
unveiling nlmost wholly musical, and only
ono address will bo delivered. It Is ex
pected that 100,000 persons will bo present
nt the ceremonies and ns Foster's music Is
probably better known to tho people of this
country than any other composer's, It Is
thought that many will Join In the choruses.
"America" will be tho only song on the pro
gram that Is not the work of Foster.
The composer was born on July 4, 1S2B, nnd
died In New York thirty-eight years later.
Ho taught himself music nnd studied with
great assiduity. UN compositions Include
180 songs, of which the first written was
"Open Thy Lattice. Love." published In 1S42,
nnd tho last was "Beautiful Dreamer," com
posed In lSCf, tho last year of his life. "Oen
tie Annie," "Willie, We Have Missed You,"
'Old Dog Tray." "Come Whero My Love
Lies Dreaming," "Nellie Was a Lady," "My
Old Kentucky Homo," "Maggie by My Side"
and "Kllen Hayne," the music of which Is
now used for "John Hrown's Ilody Lies a
Mouldering In the Crave." were somo of the
best known among his compositions. As a
rule he wroto both the words and music of
bis songs.

New York Tribune.
Richard Croker says that young men to
day have no chanco in business, on ac
count of tho trusts, and he thercforo ad
vises them to spout for Tammnny whether
they know how to talk or not. Mr. Abram
S. Hewitt, in tho Commercial Advertiser
vonturcs to call In question the truth of this
statemonl nnd the soundness of the advice
which accompanies It. He says that large
corporations, Instead of discouraging young
men of ability nnd character, arc actually
looking for thera nil the time. Spenklng for
a company In which he Is Interested he
adds; "1 need Ave or six of them, young
men who are willing to begin at tho hot
torn and work up. There Is no one inside
to keep them back. Industry nnd com
merce nro Increasing and new enterprises
are being undertaken. The government
statistics of ImportB and oxports show this.
Teople nro not dying any less today than
they did In the past. Who is going to take
their places? It Is tho competent young
men and there Hre comparatively few of
them."
Young men of ability who are not afraid
to work hard for success will find no seri
ous obstacles In their path today. But If
their idea Is to saunter Into a business
house and graciously accept a Junior part
nership offhand it must be admitted that
they will find little to encourage them.
Mr. Hewitt apparently thinks that the
leader of Tammany hnd this type of
young men In mind, for he asks- "What
did Mr. Croker want for his sons in tho
Roebllng concern? Did he want them to
begin nt tho bottom of the firm which the
Roebllngs hnd built up nfter forty years
of work? Judging from the reports of the
Mnzct bearing Mr. Croker wanted them
to get In ns partners nnd wns disappointed
because, they could not in fifty minutes get
to tho head of a firm which It hail taken
forty yenrs to build up."
Hut. however It may be In Mr. Crokcr's
own family, It Is a fact that many young
men today desire to reach tho goal of suc
cess at once and success, as they under
stand it, means tho acquisition of great
wealth, That such young men should rail
at tho modern methods of business Is en
tirely natural; for, except In rare In
stances, great fortunes aro made only by
exceptlounlly able men, who arc rendy if
need bo to work llko n galley slave twelve
or fourteen hours a day for the best part
of their lives. The "trusts," as Mr. Croker
