It is now in order for our republican friends who endorse the Porto Bican policy to prate about national honor. The profits of the Kimberly mining company in 1899 wero about $10,000,000, a nice sum, but nothing compared to the Carne gie iron “infant industry.” A big building trades strike is on in Chicago. The dinner-buck-et brigade is asking for a bit of this prosperity wave which is filling the pockets of the trust magnates. As usual, they will get a stone.

The Porto Rican tariff bill should never pass. Fixing a tariff against those people after annexing them to this country without consulting them, is too much like genteel robbery.—Goodland Herald (rep.) The county commissioners of Perry county have made a contract with Prof. Or. W. Swartz, principal of the Swartz Business College, Louisville, and Will Waldschmid. an Evansville attorney, expert accountants, to investigate the auditor’s and treasurer’s books. According to Otis’ reports to the War Department, the “backbone” of the Filipino insurrection has been broken again. We suggest that the General devote some attention to the “neck of the revolution” just to vary the monotony of his reports. The President has recommended and the House has passed a bill returning some $2,000,000 of duties to Porto Rico. So it is said! But to whom are these duties returned? To the people who paid them or to fat government officials? Crumpacker says that he will not accept the nomination for governor, despite the decided Crumpacker wave which has swept over the state. Mr. Crumpacker has a much more desirable office than that of governor and lie would be foolish to relinquish it for gubernatorial honors. For Governor, E. D. Crumpacker. His vote against the Porto Rican tariff bill was right politically. right under the laws of this country and right under the ties of humanity. The only good that can be said of the bill is that the fengar and tobacco trusts demanded it and refused to contribute to the Republican campaign fund unless it passed.—Fowler Leader,
