CONORFSS AND TARIFF HI I ORM
Con Stress is attain in session and its de
liberations and achievements will la*
followed with interest and concern.
Democrats, of course, hope f' Httle or
nothimt in the way of popular legisla
tion, with congress. both branches of
the legislative government unreservedly
and overwhelmingly Republican. I’tior
to the death President McKinley prom
ii‘. were indulged in indicating the par
ing down of tariff exactions through re
ciprocal treaties with foreign powers,
but Republican promises along lines of
tariff] reform are patterned after the
proverbial pie crust, easy to break Ihe
Republican party, notwithstanding the
fact that able Republican newspapers
align themselves with a policy of tariff
reform stands immovable on the doc

But the* question may lx propounded
“How is it that the manufacturers dic
tate legislative policies of the* dominant
pirty in the national legislature.'
Here is a question which is quite simple
to answer The manufacturers largely
provided the funds to make congress
Republican and they only ask a return
on their investment by preventing any
deprivation of present tariff regulations.
It is safe to presume that the tariff
upon articles of Import will remain sub
stnntially as they arc* and that no rente
dy along this line will come until}the
voters realize the wisdom of casting
their ballots for Democratic candidates
espousing policies which heretofore
made this country great free* and en

MllHl COi.ONIAI \N(IKk.
The Supreme court of the United
Btales has render ?d a decision in tli
diamond ring ease involving the iph’
of the government to levy a tax on
goods coming into jsirls of the I’mted
Staler from the I'hilippitie island*- The
decision is adverse to the government
and at the present status of our r* hi
ti n with th ■ I’hilip; i es it is simply
one of territori'd c msanguinity. Asa
figure of speech the I nited Stales and
the Philippine islands are one and the
same blood hence what is the privilege
of one is the privilege of the other
Notwithstanding the Supreme .•oiirt
g-jos as far as is indicates! it not not
be forgotten that there i- a reservation
attached to the decision which places
the United States in a distinctly ad
ventageous position and leaves the
Philippines and her people at the mercy
of our own legislators and the rulers
which we send hither across the seas.
The Supreme court grants < ongress the
power of passing legislation anulagous
to the Foraker act which is in force in
Porto Hico, and which permits this
go .eminent to charge , specitic duty on
1 gnds interchanging between the Unit*
| ted States and Porto Rico. The decis
ion of the Supreme court. to say the
least,'is queer, really illogical. It says
in fact the Philippine islands are part
and parcel of the United States and
then it goes on to modify by averr
ing that the islands are domestic terri
tory just as long as congress fails to
pass legislation of a tariff nature. The
decision naturally pleases Senator Spoon
er. He delights in hyperbole, phantasys
of logic, realasticity of reasoning or “any
old thing" conditionally that it harmon
izes with the spirit of benevolent
assimilation” and with his claim of
specially taxing a portion of onr own
people for our own aggrandisement.
H a- what the senator says in relation to
the decision and the duty of congress.
“I think that if has h-en the intention
to legislate fully as to the islands this
winter, embracing an elaborate system
of civil government and taxation. The
decision makes it essential that early
legislation be had imposing duties on
articles coining from the Philippines to
the United States."

Till WABASH WRICK.
The wreck on the Wabash railroad
ast week, with its consequent loss of
ife forcibly reveals the hazard of travel
ind the constant danger the traveler is
in while speeding over the lines. The
lois of nearly one hundred lives and the
iiaiming for life of an equally large
lumber resulted from the carelessness
>* those in charge of the trains, reading
their orders wrong. No engineer or
•onductnr can afford to lx* hasty in read
.iig his orders To do so imperils hu
nan life and no man has the right to
in peril tin* kb* of andher. Engineers
ml conductors are invested with trr
nendms responsibilities in carrying
lassengers at swift speed over iron rails,
icnce tin* utmost caution should lx*
ised from the moment the train leaves
ts starting point until it arrives at its
lest inatioii
It will he well for conductors and en
{iliciTs to heed tin* lesson the Wabash
■atastropln* teaches It should make
hem more cautious in prosecuting their
luties.
WARSHIP BUILDING ON I AMS-
Writing of building waiships on the
treat lakes the Springfield (Mass, i Re
inblican says “Many shipbuilders of
he great lake*, who desire lo have a
hare of the government contracts for
lew war vessels find tin* Kush-Bagot
(invention of I*l7 in their way. That
nstrument narrowly limits the naval
orcc which cither the I'nlted States and
treat Britain can maintain on tin* lakes,
md also naval construction The see
r*lary of the navy refuses to award con
tracts to lake ship yards so long us the
•■invention remains unmodified
A recent statement by W (t. Me
vlillan |iresident of a leading shipbuild
rK company of that region, indicates
uiwever that opinion in shipping circles
s not unanimous on the question Mr
\1 Millan takes the view
We don't want any abrogation of
this* treaty. <)ur linns are all busy
building (or the commercial trade, it
is doubtful if < treat Britain would per
in t our warsbips to be taken through
t'n< W Hand canal. In any case, we
-ho lid have everything to lose by abol
isirng the treaty. It is on onr side of
the 1 ike* that all of the large cities are
located.'
nlniously. a- Mr McMillan suggests,
the country ha\ ing all the large lake ei
ties is tie country that has the larger
interest in keeping those water# free of
foreign navle- The lake shipbuilders
may lose a few government contracts,
tint what do those amount to compared
Aith the s entity for the lake cities
which the pr ■■“••nt arrangement pro
/ides*
'■(Congressman Uotitell of Illinois, the
1 id lag opisjae it of the Hush Bugot
treaty, argues *bat in case of war be-
tween Great Britain and the Lnited
States the treaty would lapse, and then
British war ships could be rushed up the
St. Lawrence river and through the
J Welland canal into the lakes, where our
I great cities would he at their mercy,
j Asa matter of fact, nothing but gun
boats and torpedo craft could pass
through the Welland canal, and they
would never get through without ihe
utmost peril of being blocked or destroy
ed in transit. In case of hostilities one
of the first things this government
would do would be to make this canal
impassable, and if a large American
army could not dominate so vital a
point on the American-Canadian fron
tier from the very outset of war then
nothing whatever can lie taken for
granted But Mr. Boutell himself ad
mits that war between England and
America is extremely improbable.
What is tiie use, then, of attacking the
Knsb-Bagot treaty on the ground that
a few small British gunboats might
sneak through the Welland canal into
the lakes in case of hostilities?
“The Illinois congressman admits
that the treaty was once very useful.
In a recent article* he candidly said; ’As
an arrangement for immediate mutual
disarmament, the convention was ef
fective and bmeficial to both parties. It
was a distinct aid in bringing about a
Letter feeling between the people along
the Ijorder. It stimulated commerce on
flu* lakes and encouraged settlement
along their shores. The agre°ment
w irked smoothly during the first 20
years of its life. It injured no one and
was of undeniable advantage to both
parties ’ If it was beneficial , r >b years
ago. is it not benefici.il now?
“When the heart of the discussion i.-*
r eached, even Mr, Bontell says he does
not ask for the* complete abrogation of
the convention. He is evidently will
ing that smiue agreement limiting naval
forces on the lakes should be kept up:
what he wants is a modification of the
treaty by which the construction of
war stiips can be made possible in lake
ship yards. This is a less radical posi
tion than was taken several years ago,
and possibly some arrangement could
be effected in that direction without
seriously impairing the force of the old
treaty as an instrument of peace. Vet
lothing should be done to} make the
United States and Canada naval rivals
m those waters.”
WHAT THE EDITORS SAY.

Stalwarts are fighting the Half-Breeds,
is they claim that by again nominating

waive the nomination. AV isconsin has

THE OFFSPRING
OF HEREDITARY
BLOOD TAINT.
Scrofula is but a modified form of Blood
Poison and Consumption. The parent
who is tainted by cither will see in the
child the same disease
manifesting itself in
the form of swollen
glands of the neck and 'I

eyes, offensive gores *** Vjy?
and abscesses and of- flUk -JU
tentimes white swell
ing —sure- signs of ,
Scrofula. There may f///
be no external signs for /
a longtime, for the disease develops slowly
in some cases, but the poison is in the
blood and will breakout at the first favor
able opportunity. S. R. S. cures this wast
ing, destructive disease by first purifying
and building up the blood anti stimulating
and invigorating the whole system.
J M Seals, 115 Public Square. Nashville,Tenn.,
says : "Ten years ago my (laughter fell and cut

the side of her face became swollen and bursted.
Some of the best doctors here and elsewhere
attended her without any benefit. We decided
to try S. S. S., and a tew bottles cured her en

£3% makes new and pure

and is a positive and
safe cure for Scrofula.
It overcomes all forms of blood poison,
whether inherited or acquired, and no
remedy so thorough'/ and effectively
cleanses the blood. If you have any
blood trouble, or your child has inherited
some blood taint, take S. S. R. and get
the blood in good condition and prevent
the disease doing further damage.
