AUGUST 18, 1898. L'ASDHUTES CARDS. Announcemkn.l-To the voters of San Juan County: I hereby respectfully an nounce myself as a candidate for the office of County Clerk, subject to the decision of the Republican county convention held at Friday Harbor on Sept 7 1898. Independent of its great strategic Importance to the United States by reason of its locution about midway between North and South America and commanding one of the chief gate ways to the CfcfrltaM sea, the island of Porto Rico is quite certain to prove a very valuable addition to our "im perial" domain. While not large in point of area when compared with moat of the states and territories of the Union, it is considerably more than three times as large as Rhode Island, very nearly twice as large as Delaware and three-fourths as large as Connecti cut. It is rectangular in form, 108 miles long, 37 broad and covers an area of 3,670 square miles and is the most fertile, healthful and densely popu lated of all the islands of the West In dies. According to its latest census returns its population exceeds 800,000, of whom two-thirds are of white or mixed races and one-third negroes. The island is almost as densely popu lated as the state of Massachusetts and six times more so than Cuba, and yet it is said that "there is still plenty of room for further expansion," which is pretty sure co follow American occu pation and government under the stars and stripes, to which it is already evi dent that the people will take kindly. The word "protocol," used so fre quently In the dispatches referring to peace negotiations, means "the original copy of any writing, as of a treaty, dis patch or other instrument." Another meaning given by Webster is: "The minutes, or rough draft, of an instru ment or transaction." The protocol which terminated the war with Spain embodies the conditions upon which the United States government con sented to order the cessation of hostili ties by our army and navy, and which conditions will be the basis of the final treaty to be drafted by a joint peace commission to meet at Paris not later than October 1. Spain is required to relinquish all claim of sovereignty over and title to Cuba; to cede to the United States Porto Rico and other Spaaish islands in the West Indies, and one island in the Ladrone archipelago in the Pacific, to be selected by the United States, and to concede to the United States the occupation of the city, bay and harbor of Manila, pending the conclusion of the final treaty which shall determine the control, disposition and government of the Philippines. Col. J. Ham Lewis has evidently received some private advices from zealous constituents and admirers to the effect that public sentiment in this state is apparently strongly in favor of the retention and permanent occupa tion by the United States not only of Porto Rico and the minor Spanish isl ands of the West Indies, but of the Philippines also, for he has announced with more or less regret that he does not agree with Congressman Bailey, of Texas, and Senator Jones, of Arkansas, chairman of the Democratic national committee, in their opposition to terri torial and commercial expansion. Col. J. Ham isn's so much interested in what the Democratic national conven tion may declare two years hence as he is in the action of the Demo-Pop con ventions in this state this fall. If it seems advisable to change his opinions within two years, or a much less time if need be, Col. J. Ham can dot it, sah! as easy as an acrobat can turn a double somersault. The Republican county convention has been called to meet at Friday Har bor on the 7th of September, or about one week earlier than it would have been called but for the uncertainty as to the date of the joint senatorial con venUon with Skagit. The Islander hopes that the primaries in every pre cinot will be well attended; that every delegate elected to the convention will attend, and that the convention itself will be in every way harmonious and creditable to the party. The chief con cern should be to see that the platform adopted evinoes the true spirit and principles of Republicanism, and that the ticket nominated may be one merit- Ing the respect and support of every good citizen, so far as the personal character and qualifications of the can didates are concerned. Thb receipt* of the first month of (he operatiou of the war revenue law were at the rate of about 1530,000,000 a year, or nearly four times aa much as the frauaers of the measure estimated that it would produce. The receipts of the second month have undoubtedly been very much lees, oo account of the lar*e purchases of stamps immediately after the law weut into effect, sufficient t« last a very large portion of the pur chasers a considerable time. For the first twenty-three day 9of iuly, for in stance, the law yielded a revenue of over thirty-three aud a half millions, or about $1,456,000 a day. It seems prob able that if all the provisions of the measure are allowed to remain in force a full year the receipts wi'l have been sufficient to defray all the extraordinary expenses on account of the war. It is estimated that the Spanish, war, up to and including August 12, when the peace protocol was signed, cost the United States about $150,000, --000, approximately $1,000,000 a day, of which $65,300,000 is charged up to the war department and $32,700,000 to the navy department. The expenditures will necessarily be very large for some weeks yet, before the army and navy can again be placed upon a peace foot ing. The congressional appropriations on account of the war aggregate about $360,000,000. A Madrid dispatch announces that Spam hopes to retain all of the Philip pines and that the government "pro poses to accord all the political aud ad ministrative reforms consistent with the maintenance of her sovereignty." Unfortunately for Spain, however, the "reforms" which she is likely to con sider "consistent with the maintenance of her sovereignty" are not the sort of reforms which are likely to be accept able to the Filipinos, or to the United States. _____________ Great Britain spends £20,000,000 on her navy and £37,500,000 on her army—a total amount of £63,500,000. Frauce spends £11,455,000 on her navy and £24,902,000 on her army—a total of £36,387,000. Germany spends on her navy £G,053,000 and on her army £29, --143,000—a total of £35,226,000. Russia spends on her navy £7,990,000 and on her army £30,579,000—a total of £38, --569,000. The revised treasury figures show that the actual deficit of the year just closed, reckoned on a peace basis, was about $42,000,000, and that this was accumulated during the first seven months of the year, the last five months showing a surplus of ordinary revenue over ordinary expenditure. This war with Spain was declared on Friday and it was on Friday that the peace protocol was signed and or ders were dispatched to the command ers of the military and naval forces of the United States directing the cessa tion of hostilities.

A prominent New York physician in discussing the merits of Bipans Tabules with a brother M. D. said: *' Several years ago I asserted that if one wished to become a pliilan thopist, and do a beneficent deed— one that would help the whole hu man race—nothing could be better than to procure the Boosevelt Hos pital prescription, which is the basis oftht Ripans Tabules, and cause it to be put up in the form of a ketchup and distributed among the poor. 1' Sales Increasing. The largest retail drug store in America is that of Hegeman & Co. on Broadway in New Yiork City. A reporter who went there to learn ■ • .' „ ___ '-' ■'--' how Bipans Tab ules were selling bought a fire-cent carton and asked: "Do you have much call for these?" He was referred to a gentleman who proved to be the head of the depart ment. He said: " The sale of Ripans Tabules is constant and is increasing, due especially to the influential character of the testimonials in the daily press, and growing out of these, through the recommendation of friend to friend. Satisfaction with them is very general. When once they are begun I notice that a permanent customer for them is made. This, 1 believe, is through their intrinsic merit, which proves the bona fide character of the advertising.

An elderly lady living at Fordham Heights, a part of New York City, and who was known to be a warn advocate of Bipans Tabules for anj case of liver trouble or indigestion, said to a reporter who visited her far the purpose of learning the particu lars of her case: " I had always employed a physician and did soon the last occasion I had for one, but at that time obtained no beneficial results. I had never had any faith in patent medicines, but having seen Bipans Tabules recommended vptt highly in the New York Hera Id con cluded to give them a trial, and found they were just what my case demanded. I have never employed a physician since, and that means a saving of $2 a call. A dollar's worth of Bipans Tabules lasts me a month, and I would not be without them now if it were my last dollar." At the time of this inter ■view there were present two daugh tera who specially objected to their mother giving a testimonial which should parade Lei name in the newspapers, but to do this the elder lady argued : 'There may be other cases just like mine, and I am sure I take great pleasure in recommending the Tabules to any one afflicted as I was. If the telling about my case in the papers enables some other person similarly affected to be as greatly benefited as I hare been, I see no objection.'' The daugfr ters, knowing bow earnestly she felt about the benefit she had received, decided she was quite right.
