The arguments in the Porto Kico
and Philippine cases Lave been made
id the United States supreme court
anil the cases Lave been submitted
for the final adjudication of the
court. To the ordinary lay mind
the constitutional question involved
appears quite simple. It becomes
complex and ditlicult only when the
lawyers begin quoting authorities
and decisions whose relevancy the
lay mind is unable to determine.
As to the question involved there
can be no doubt. It all hinges on
the meaning of the fiist clause of the
eighth section ot the first article of
the constitution, which reads as fol
"The congress shall have power to
lay and collect taxes, duties, imports
and excises, to pay the debts and
provide for the common defense and
general welfare of the United States,
but all duties, imposts and excises
shall be uniform tin ought the United
States."
Keduced to still more concise di
mensions the thing to be determined
is, Whtt did tie frameis of the con
stitution mean by the term "United
Slates?" When this has been de
termined the controversy would seem
to be at au end. It was "We tbe
people of the United Slaies" that
"ordained and established" the con
stitution. Who were "we?" There
can be only one answer. It was
only the people of the states united
who were privileged to vote on the
adoption of the constitution.
At the time of its adoption in 1788
we owned, outside the states them
selves, the vast national domain
lying between the Allegheny mount
ains and the Mississippi river. A
year before the adoption of the con.
stitution the part of this domain
lying north of the Ohio river, and
comprising the. present states of
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois. Michigan
and Wisconsin, had been organized
by the famous ordinance of 1787
into the Northwest Territory, with a
regular territorial government. But
no resident of that territory, or of
the territory sou ID of the Ohio had
any voice in "ordaining or establish
nig" the constitution.
The constitution was thus ordained
And ratilled by the people ot the
-stales that comprised the Union and
by them only, and from that hour to
this the people of the territories
never have had a voice in making,
ratifying, amending or operating the
constitution. To a lay mind, there
fore, capable of construing a plain
English sentence, and not befogged
by tbe subtilties of the law, it
would appear that the term United
States means the states united and
nothing more.
opinion to have much weight, and it
is well understood that he is more
interested in his own mouth than iu
ttie mouth of the Columbia.
Hon. Henry W. Corbett, of Poit
Iind, is reputed to be a lich man,
a very rich man, and therein lies his
strength as a candidate for United
States senator. It is useless to dis-
guiso the fact that if Mr. Corbett
were worth 10,000, or even $100,
000, no one would have thought
seriously of choosing biro to icpre
sent the people of Oregon at Wash
Ington at this critical time in the
history of the state, lsut Lc is a
millionaire and wants the scnatorship,
and he has but to press the button
and the fly-wheel begins to turn and
the machinery to move, and in a
twinkling the whole mechanism is
whirring and buzzing. Professional
politicians are scouring the state,
legislators are slipping intD Portland
on free passes in ones and twos and
threes, and drifting into the back
parlors of the First National bank,.
So it is said a tremendous commotion
is stirred up by the liberal use of
money and the favorite and well
known methods of the Portland
managers. And by the time the
legislature assembles we will perceive
that body in a ferment of excitement
over the question whether enough
members have been prevailed upon
to no into secret caucus and submit
to the shameful prostitution that
marks the process by which the rich
man reached the goal of his ambition.
expressed a desire to form your ar.
quainlar.ee." -
The Clatsop county court has In
structed the county treasurer to remit
to the state treasurer the scalp bounty
tax for 1893, amounting to 060.34.
In this connection it is quite perti
nent to suggest that the county couit
of Crook county might profit by the
example of its brother ol Clatsop.
Senator Simon stayed in Washing,
ton when he should have been at
home, and now he is at home when
he should bo in Washington.

Matters ot great and far-reaching
importance to Oregon have been and
still are before the United States
senate. Yet Senator Minon remains
In Oregon, attending to his own
private Interests and, incidentally,
for Joseph is very far from being a
philanthropist to the interests of
his political p;ird and dupe, "the old

torship. He leaves his scat vacant
In the United States senate and re
mains at Portland to help in the
election of II. W. Corbett. Mean
time, the democrats consider it of
sufficient importance to gain another
vole there to have Chas. A. Townc
qualify as senator from Minnesota
and take his seat, although it will be
but a few days more or Jess that he
can hold under the governor's ap
pointment before his successor is
elected by the republican legislature.
The questions upon the Hay-Pauncc-fote
treaty, the Nicaraugua canal
bill, the army bill, and the river and
harbor bill will all have been disposed
oT in tiie senate while Simon is ab
sent from his post of duty. Great
questions these, and of tremendous
importance to the people of Oregon,
and every republican vote is needed
In the senate. But Simon lingers
at home and busies himself with the
petty intrigues and cotruptions of
factional politics. If Mcliiide had
stayed at home as Simon has done,
the air around the Oregonian tower
would have been sulphurous as the
fumes of Vesuvius.
At the marriajre. of Hank Cafes and
Klla Harding on (ioose creek the oth
er day the blushing bride passed a
subscription paper to raise funds to
erect n tombstone over the remains
of her lute husband. A pood round
sum was subscribed, nnd she hopes
to now be able to pay due tribute to
the memory of her recent loved one.
Cyrus Hand and Mary Koinrr came
over from Methodist Mountain yester
day to be married, and Judge Jenkins
tied the knot in the latest approved
i.tyle. In the spirit of jocularity for
which he is noted hi honor whispered
in the ear of the bride, just after be
stowing the judicial kiss, that he had
never spliced a Hand-Somer couple.
A study of anfrer from experiences
in about i.tx.'O cases, collected from re
liable observers, his been made, by (i.
Stanley Hall. The causes were many

and the physical sensations ueeoirpa

dividual. Flushing was very jjrneral,
although pallor was n characteristic
in 27 per cent, of the cast s. The heart
beats were violent, several rases of
death from rupture of this orpan be
i riff reported, and there were some
tHiies -culiar sensation in mouth
anil throat, sometimes diines or
faint lie. s, frequently tenrs, and ffen-
j erally copious salivation, which mijfht
proouce iroinin at ine mourn.
Common sounds were animal-like cries
in children, oaths and threats in
adults, while in many cases the throat
was paralyzed, and there was inabili
ty to speak above a whisper, or with
out cryinjr or trembliitp. Hutting
with the head, biting and scratching
are noticeable in childish anger.

(ireat interest has neen aroused in
medical circles in (iermany, says a
Herlin dispatch to the London Chron
icle, by the discovery by Dr. Otto Km
merich, of linden-linden, of n specific
against morphia poisoning nud that
peculiar form of disorder known in
Germany as "morphinismus." The in
creasing use of morphia among a con
siderable section of society has been
lately exciting much attention, and
medical men have been unable to pre
scribe any ctlicieiit remedy. It is
claimed for Dr. Kmmerich's discovery
that it has proved infallible in the
numerous cases in which it has been
applied. It is distilled vegetable oii
of intense acidity, two or three drops
of which arc taken internally daily.
After a cure, extending from three to
six weeks, patients aciptire an intense
loathing for the use of the morphia
needle.

In the trial of a mining case in our
justice's court last Wednesday a
young sprig of the law from Denver,
with enlarged ideas of the latitude to
which attorneys nre entitled in court,
ca'led Judge Jenkins a "pettifogging
