Apuit. lfl, 1900. If Charles H. Allen, the first civil governor of Porto Rico, makes ns good a record on Hint island lis has made ns Assistant Secretary of the Navy, a position ho has held since it was given tip by Oil. Roosevelt nt tho.opening of tbc war wiMi Spain, the Porto Ricans will have causo to thnnk Presi ent McKinley for bis appointment. Tim civil rulo of Por to Hico will lx-gin May 1, nml tbc iibw tariff will go into effect, at t lie same time. No arrangement lias yet been ninde for withdrawing tbe few troops tliat are In Porto Rico, and It is thought, tbat tbey will be allowed to remain for r while, al though they will have nothing to do with Bovernini the island, after the civil government takes charge. Secretary Root 1ms recommended to Congress that provision be madp In the Army Appropriation bill for six additional Brigadier Generals in the regular nrmy, in order that Pres ident McKinley may reward lcsor ving ofllcers for meritorious service. Senator Chandler thinks that Gov. Roosevelt is the man to lie nominat ed for Vice President on the repub lican ticket. Speaking about it he said : "I am for Roosevelt, and I do not recognize his right to say that he will not accept, the Vice Presi dential nomination, if tho National Convention should namehim. Nei ther do I recognize tha.nglitof Pres. ident McKinley or Senator Hanna to act for tho party in deciding upon the Vice Presidency in advance of the Convention. The delegates will name the Vice Presidential nominee. Their judgement must determine, and any man who is named will ac cept. The office has never been re fused, and if Gov. Roosevelt is nam ed by the Convention, he will ac cept." Senator Fairbanks knows the poli tics of Indiana as few men do, and how much he thinks of the alleged republican revolt in the state, which is so big in the columns of the anti republican press and so hard to finl by those on the ground, may he jud ged by his having paid of he politi cal outlook: "The administration stands in higher favor today than ever before, and will undoubtedly be sustained by the people, who are not prepared to check, interrupt, or re verse the present prosperous condi tion of affairs. It is not possible that the people will repeat the mis take of 1892. The republican party has redeemed the principal pledges made in lb'JO, and has brought pros perity to all classes of our people. We are quite ready to meet our op ponents in the campaign." Of the Porto Rico tariff, now a law, the alleged cause of the alleged re publican revolt, Senator Fairbanks said : "It is based upon proper prin ciples and will justify itself. , My in formation shows that a very strong current in its favor is setting in, and as it becomes better understood the criticism will decrease." One of the immediate effects of the Clark investigation, which caus ed the Senate Committee on election to unanimously report that Clark, of Montana, was not entitled to the seat in the Senate, which ho spent something like a quarter of a mil lion dollars to get, was the adoption by the House, with only fltteen ad verse votes, of a resolution propos ing a constitutional amendment for the election of the U. S. Seuutors, by direct vote of the people. Spain's attempt to retain three islands on the outskirts of the Phil ippine group, was a failure. The claim was made on the ground that these islands were outside of the geographical bounds named in the Paris treaty. This government has notified Spain that its claim would not he recognized for the simple rea son that the demand of this govern ment, when the Pans treaty was being negotiated, was for the entire territory of Spain in the Philippine and Sulu archipelagoes, and that de mand was agreed toby the Spanish Commissioners. The statement of boundaries was made merely to set forth in definite form a description of the territory ceded by Spain. The three islands are not important, but this government is determined that no flag other than old Old Glory should fly over any of those islands. Huts and caps.

THE BUTTER INDUSTRY. The Philadelphia North American Monday exposed what it claims to be conspiracy to break down the pure butter industry of this State. It de tails how it operated a store for the sale, of oleomargarine for over two months, sold thousand of pounds of j rnigo with Dr. William Bartlo Ken- to April 1st wore ever sixty twoand oleo' as pure butter ata profit of near-1 worthy. Tho church docoration of ; one-half million dollars, or an aver ly KM) per cent., nnd that the illegal flowers was beautiful and the edifice ' K0 of (riy eight million dollars business was carried on with the full knowledge, consent and connivance of the ofllciols of the State govern ment. It nlleges that by paying 1 I cents a pound, to a certain dealer, or one cent more than the regular price, its store secured "protection" from liny interference by the Dairy and Food commissioner, whose duty it is to enforce the law, nnd that though it was conducting nn illegal business, and was visited three times by the chief inspector for Philadelphia who was frankly shown ami told how oleoniargerine was sold as pure but ter, the business was not molested. It alleges that there were 8(10 oleo. margerme "speak easies ' or stores nnd peddlers, in the city which sell the stufl without license, besides the l.'iO licensed wholesale and retail dealers. That over half a million pounds are sold every month as pure butter at a profit of nearly Kill per cent. This sale of a fraudulent article entails n loss of four million dollars annually tothcfarniersoftheState, by crowding the genuine butter product out of the market. The exposure is circumstantial in details and arrays n series of alleged facts, which lear every appoarence of truth, and unless disproved by the nuthoritios are very damaging to tho Pure Food Com missioner, and should tumble him nnd his aids out of ollice.

Kilgours Possible Luck. The Passaic News says Justice Wheeler of the U. 8. Court lias de cided four of the contentions, in the suit brough by J. F. Kilgonr against the National Bank of Port Jervis, in favor of the plaitiff which will make Kilgour richer by about 50,000. One more appeal can be taken to a court of three U. 8. Judges. The Judge holds that plaintiff is to be credited in the accounting with f20, 000 on account of the Parkers Glen property, with interest from Deo. U, '91. He also holds that Kilgours equity in thePassaic property isworth several thousands nnd that the Sho- hohi Glen property is worth $30,000 more than was credited, and that the income was considerably more than was allowed in the Masters account, from which Kilgour appealed.

Treasury hud on hand as shown by the offl- cial statement a net cash balance of I over three hundred million dollars, The government receipts, in excess of n1 expenses for citrht months nrior at largo. In his letter to congress, Jan. 10, 1900, the Secretary of the Treasury said : "The revenues are now exceed ing disbursements from month to month, and seem likely t'j do so for an indefinite time. This condition would bo a menneo to the business world if assurances were not given that this surplus would bo diverted from tho treasury vaults to public depositories where, while secure to the government it would remain available to business use " The existence of over throe hund red million dollars in cash means that the government lias not only the required gold reserve, ns per the law just passed but also one hund red and fifty million of dollnrs over and above all experses, nnd still the government is collecting taxes on checks, deeds, mortnges, medicines, perfumes, bills of lading, telegrams, money orders, etc, levying upon the peoplo an unjust, harassing, oppres sive tax. What possible excuse can there now bo for Congress refusing to repeal this unjust stamp tax upon business documents, medicines, toi let articles, etc? Thiuk about itl Since July 1, 1899, there has gone into tho puMio treasury an a verage daily surplus of " two hundred and seventy thousand dollars, and it is increasing from day to day, and now that the government does not need tho money, why continue it and tax the people.
