Official Paper of Itasea County and the Village of Grand Repids. “A STUPID BLUNDER.” It takes a decidedly cheeky, opin- ionated and egotistical congressional committee to recommend for passage a bill that its members know 1s against the wishes of the American people and against the advice of the Ameri- can press. When the ways and means committee of the present con- gress brought in the report of its deliberations on a bill for. the purpose of regulating commerce witht he island of Puerto Rico and recommended that a tariff of twenty-five per cent be placed on the products of the island imported to this country, it did what no similar body in any congress has ever dared to do. The Republican newspapers, almost without exception, condemn the measure, some of them even going so far as to openly charge that a majority of the members of the most Important committee in congress are subservient to the interests of the sugar and tobacco trusts, The Min- neapolis Journal, one of the staunchest Republican papers in the northwest, tipple of enthusiasm among his con- stituents. They know that as an oratdr he suffers wofully by compari- son with others on the floor, and that the only reason why he is thus allow- ed to air his views cn subjects which other men could handle so much more brilltantly and tellingly is that he must be kept before the people at home if he is to stand the slightest show for a renomination and reelec- tion. The slight Repubhcan majority in congress don’t like the looks of this district. Not only does the prob- ability of Towne’s election send cold shivers down ther backs, but they don’t even know how another Repub- lican in Morris place might behave. They want a pliable man, and the present member just fits. —_—>—_—_ MOOSE AND BOER BUTCHER. Dr. George E. Harrison evidently contrary to law and morality. ‘This Dr, Harrison is the Anglomanmiac who visits Itasca county once a year and violates the state laws by killing moose and deer indiscriminately in season andout. He kills just for the fun of killing. Some years ago Harnson and a brother made a lucky rock quarry in Michigan that soon netted them a strike in a neat fortune, since characterizes the action as “a stupid} which time the daffy doctor has put blunder,” and says: The action of the ways and means com- mittee of the house ia attempting to commit the Republican party toa policy of imper- ialism as to Puerto Rico is ove of the stupid- est blunders of which Republican party leadership bas ever been guilty. It wasso utterly unnecessary to connect che principle of the power of cungress to legislate with regard to the territories as it sees fit with the unpopular scheme to impose a taruf on the trade between one of the newest and weakest of those dependencies and the United States, that it is difficult to see how the Republicans could have been guilty of so clumsy a piece of political management. They have got to get away from that Puerto Rican tariff in some way. It is making capi- tal for the Democrats every day by atford- ing justication for the charge of imperialism which it is claimed is exemplified in this effort to exploit for the benefit of great American interests the helpless little island of Puerto Rico. The Republicans have com- mitted a tremendous blunder, of which there} falsehoods concern ng the govern- | is only one cure, and that is absolute repu- diation und abandonment of the whole tariff proposition. When the war with Spain broke out the peopie of Puerto Rico hailed the Americans as their came willingly and giadly under our flag, believing that it stood for free- dom and equality. No sooner have we gained a foothold in the island than the poliucians at Washington in- stitute a policy of discrimination that must perforce strangle its industries and pauperize its inhabitants. What glorious prospects we are holding out to our other dependencies. With what hope and contented anticipation must not the people of Hawai, Cuba and the Philipines look toward their future as part of Uncle Sam’s domain when the most peaceable, industrious and productive of our wards is thus sandbagged at the very outset. And with what pride seventy-five millions of Americans must contemplate a con- gress that disregards their wishes and deliberately annulls all the promises given the Puerto Ricans simply be- cause to follow in the patn of honor would conflict with the interests of two or three of the administration’s pet monopolies, —_+0+____ PUSHING MORRIS FORWARD. We are sometimes inclined to feel a little sorry for Congressman Morris. It 1s evident that Speaker Henderson and the members of the house are giving him every opportunity to dis- tinguish himself and do something that will turn the eyes of the people of the Sixth Minnesota district toward him. There has hardly a question of importance come up at the present session but what Morris has been allowed to have his little say about it. He was put on the Roberts committee and made a speech. He followed and took issues with Congressman Littlefield of Maine, with the result that his remarks sounded like the re- m about half his tme in England as a sort of lick-spitde and pocket money for degenerate British nabobs. He affects English airs and mannerisms in ev way that makes his presence dis- gusting to any true American. It is therefore not to be wondered .t that he is found writing Anglomaniac driv- eland having it published wherever possible in McKinley papers, in order to still more solidify his standing with the aforesaid degenerates. A marked copy of a Carthage, Mo.. daily paper was received by the Herald-Keview the other day containing about two columns of the doctor’s literary efforts. It was a rehash of the monumental ment and people of South Africa that the English press 1s pumping into their readers these days. Harrison’s article was gleaned from Tory publ delverers and; cations and does not even contain the merit of an original lie. ee W. S. McULenauwaNn of Brainerd, has written a lenghty interview with himself and caused it to be published in the St. Paul Dispatch. Mr. Mc- Clenahan announces that he is in the act of withdrawing from the Demo- cratic party and when he has_ fully performed this acrobatic teat he will apply for membership to the body likes blood and he likes to see it flow; guished Americans were invited to address the members. They were ‘Governor Rosevelt of New York, Henry Watterson of the Louisville Courier Journal, and Charles A. Towne of Duluth. pacman) Aa A VAST majority of the lay Republi- cans of the United States are in deep sympathy with the Boers in their match- less struggle for liberty. ‘heir hearts go out to the little South African re- pubhes that are today being murdered and pillaged to satiate England’s greed. ‘These Republicans should re- member and never forget that the Mc- Kinley administration is in full sympa- thy with England. — Citizens of the United S ates have no right to com- plain of England’s course until they have repudiated and blotted out the bloody reign of McKinley. Nin geet Tuat chap Littlefield’s mission in congress seems to be to see how near like thirty cents he can make certain Minnesota congressmen look. Jim ‘Tawney started after him on the Puerto Rico tariff question and made such a spectacle of himself thst the St. Paul Dispatch, the Minneapolis Journal and other Republican papers have found it necessary to tap him on the shoulder and call his attention to a thing or two. It will begin to dawn on Jim after awhile that there are some things people will not stand, even from him, THe Hersid-Review Goes not wish to mike odious compart reflections upon any of our g good zens, but it may noi be out of order to note in passir meinber of jlate board of Tasca stoners inst’ whose official a word of criticism has been made 1s the only straight Democratic member therof. “That man is Chairman John Reliis of Swan River, and with David Bennett Hill can say, “lama Democrat”—and a good one. he Nor for the relief of Lady:mith, but for the rehef of Cass Lake, E. C. Kiley © to publicly announce that he entertains no thought of es- tablishing a paper at the division town. To assist in looking after the wellfare of the best paper in the best town in northern Minnesota is all the Tesponsibility he cares to assume just now. That story was evidently in circulation by some joker from Grand Rapids who enjoyed the de- pressing effect it would have on the Voice proprietor. pat fier ogee tt ce Tue Republicans of Minnesota have fixed their state convention dates tor this year.

Ex-Democratic candidate for the vice-presidency, Ar thur Sewall, flatly demes the reported interview wherein he is quoted as say- ing that he had left the Democratic party. Not only does Mr. Sewall stilt remain an ardent member of the party ot reform but he is as well in favor of Phillipino liberty and the establish- ment there of a republic. —_—> Patrick Forp, editor of the Insh World, has seen the error of his ways and today he is one of Bryan’s most enthusiastic supporters. \In the cam- paign of 1896 he defended McKinley, and his influence had a tremendous effect throughont the country. In these times, however, he is fighting the admimstration as he would fight the Tories in Eng'and. +e It Is no surprise to read in the Re- pubhcan press that Milhonaire Leistr- | kow of the Grafton, N.

He only had between three and four thousand men and a few small guns as against a thoroughly equipped army ot nearly fifty thousand under Roberts, Yet he held the Englishmen at bay for ten long days and the Brit- ish loss is perhaps as great as that of the Boers.
