THE EVENING STAR, THURSDAY, MARCH 22, 1900-22 PAGES. APPEAL FROM PORTO RICO Earnestly Ask the Establishment of Stable Government. Delexates Say That Even the Tariff is a Minor Question for Consideration. An eloquent appeal to the people of the United States has been issued by the fol- lowing delegates from Porto Rico to the United States: J. Juito Henna, Azel Ames, T. Larrinaga, J. R. Latimer, L. Sachez Morales and Arturo Bravo. They say: “In the summer of '96 General Nelson A. Miles and a small army accomplished @ practicaily bloodless victory over’ an island which had been 400 years under the yoke of Spanish mistule. Instead of enemies, he found only friends: instead of shot and shell, only cheers of welcome: and, plant- Img there the flag which was hailed as the symbol of a people's deliverance, he prom- ised protection not only to the islanders but to their property, and to promote pros: perity and bestow upon them the tmmuni- ties and blessings of the liberal institutions of the American government. . “Not content, however, with allowing the people of Porto Rico to remain in ignorance of thelr exact status as either citizens or subjects of their adopted country; deaf to their cries of distress and blind to their imperative needs, the national Congress now proposes to add ignominy to sorrow and Injustice to affliction by imposing upon the island systems of taxation and vassal- a@ge as immoral in principle as they are questionable in purpose; as odious to free- d@om-loving Americans as they are obnox- ious to the people they oppress, and iden- tical with those which drove the American patriots of '76 to resist and destroy by force of arms the tyrant that imposed them. The Tariff Bill “Against the express will and wish of the chief executive in his last message to Congress; against the solemn vows of the soldier who first hoisted the flag of free- m over Porto Rican soil; against the ad- vice of the honorable Secretary ae ‘ar, the overnors general of the island, the recom- Trendations of the President's special com- missioner and the United States consul gen- eral to Porto Rico; against the just de- mands of the Porto Rican delegates, and, above all, against the combined sentiment of the representative press and 75,000,000 of people, whose exponent it is, an unjust and odious tax measure has passed the House of Representatives, and it is now even proposed to set aside all measures establishing civil government for the tsland. More Military Rule. ‘The American people and the press, who, thrusting aside all constitutional questions and all subterfuges or sophistries, have re- cently, almost with one voice, emphatically demanded for Porto Rico, as her right, free commerce with the United States, will be startled and indignant beyond measure to learn that it is now proposed to fling the reduced tariff and a gift of $2,000,000 as a ‘sop’ to the starving and prostrate island, and to suppress all legislation in Congress establishing stable government—its gravest need—and to relegate the island for another r at least to the ruinous conditions of military rule. Compared with this enormity, which means inevitably the putting out of the last ray of hope in the stricken {sland and turn- ing it over to the blackness of despair, the tariff outrage shrinks to nothing.

Kellogg. Prettily tinted pictures of birds were thrown upon a large sereen by a stereopticon, Mr. Kellogg giv- ing a description of the varieties shown. He also imitated almost perfectly the tones of the various birds, his warblings and chirps being highly enjoyed by the large wudience. Mrs. Emily Stuart Kellogg was heard in several vocal solos during the evening, her work belng received with en- thuslasm. Miss Kate Huli Bundy gave sev- eral piano selections that won for her un- stinted applause and many encores. ‘This preparation is not a wonderful discovery Ror et a ane patent medicine, neither is ft claimed to cure anything except dyspepsia, indl- gestion and stomach troubles with which nine- tenths ef our nation are more or less affected. ton. ‘The remedy {s In the form of pleasant tasting tablets or lozenges, containing vegetable and fruit essences, pure aseptic pepsin (free from animal impurities) Golden Seal and diastase.

R. —_—_ Intemperate Language by Dog Own- ers. To the Editor of The Evening Star: Several of the speeches at the meeting of dog owners held TuesGay evening illustrate the fact that a rabid condition may exist among members of the human species as well as among canines. The proceedings also furnish an example of what seems to viz., to criticise and abuse officers of the lccal government who are charged with enforcing and carrying into effect existing laws when the laws, are at fault. No dis- cretion is given the Commissioners as ‘o whether or not they shall issue an order that dogs shall be muzzled, but the law is mandatory, that when it is brought to their attention that rabies exist that such an order shall be issued. Experts from the Department of Agricuiture have found upon investigation that rabies does exist, and they have brought that fact to the atten- tion of the Commissioners, who must issue the order required by law or violate their oath of office. The comparison in the pres- ent casc may be odious, but the principle applies, that “No rogue e’er felt the halte With good opinion of the la It is easy to forget that civilization con- sists In giving up some of the natural Mb- erty of the individual in order that the community may be properly governe The system is so nicely adjusted and by reason of heredity and environment we shave so become a part of itjthat the pressure 15 very seldom felt. When, however, some law or regulation seems to bear unevenly upon a person or claks there is generally a groan or a howl. Whe best way to get rid of an obnoxious law is to enforce it. ‘The matter under discussipn is no exception. if the law requiring the issuance of an order compelling owner: dogs to have their animals muzzled is olMexious the attention of Congress should be calléd to the matter. It will serve no good purpose to abuse and cast reflections on the officers upon whom falls the duty of enforcing the law. ATTORNEY. Conductors and Transfers, ‘To the Editor of The Evening Star: A rule of the Capital Traction Company in regard to transfers {s enforced in a very cbnoxious way. On that road the writer recently had an unpleasant experience, which probably duplicates that of many other passengers. On a very much crowded avenue car I got a transfer for 7th street north. The conductor barely had time to issue trans- fers and I had no time to verify the rectness of mine. In punching the conduct- or did not allow sufficient time. Although I took the next intersecting car the time runched had about expired and the con- ductor on the 7th street car promptly ob- jected to the transfer. I explained the cir- cumstances, but he said I would have to pay another fare or get off. I stoutly in- sisted on my rights and rode to my destina- tion on the transfer. Doubtless a timid person in my position would have yielded to the attempted imposition. Now, I claim that a margin of at least half an hour should be allowed on transfers because of Nability to error, and that conductors should be instructed to accept reasonable planations made by passengers when a sfer seems to have expired. If the present harsh rule is not modified passen gers will be justified in refusing to pay fares vnuil correctly punched transfers are .ten- dered. is 3 to een its motormen from wintry blasts out tender regard for the passenger. ‘The motorman might “see through the glass darkly,” or he might go to sleep if made able. (See testimony ‘before evun- gressional committee.) If the Capital Trac- tion Company goes into the syndicate it is feared that the service will become unsatis- factory and transfers still more restricted. Then the public will be glad to get any kind of car, on any terms and on any side of the street. T.W, G. — Jurors Summoned, Special Correspondence of The Evening Star.
