"WEDNESDAY - OCTOBER 26. 1S98 OURfTROPICAL ISLANDS. The flag of the United States is flying over Hawaii and Porto Eico in undisputed possession. No one challenges our sovereignty therefor all time. It is an important step in the devolopment of the great repub lic. Both Hawaii and Porto Rico are geographically American terri tory. In one we kept out and in the other removed a European flag. The righteousness of both acts will be ad mitted in history. ; Assertions were made that the annexation of Hawaii would involve us in serious interna tional troubles and require the aid of a large &rmy and navy. But a few companies of troops and a single cruiser are found to be amply enough. In Porto Rico we have about 12,000 soldiers, sent there while the war was in progress. Within a month the number may be safely reduced to one-half. We begin on good terms With the inhabitants, and a just, lib eral policy, a decided novelty there, will steadily improve the feeling. Both Hawaii and Porto Rico can be easily governed from the seaports lnere is no extensive interior to be looked after. Trade and commerce are in working order. The inhabi tauts are well-disposed and engaged in their accustomed labors. A -1 ; r -a. muereni situation to some ex tent exists in the Philippines, where it Is practically certain we shall soon exercise full militaj-y control. Prob ably the Philippines will be ceded to us by the treaty adjustment. We are not pledged against assuming ful sovereignty as soon as it can be ar ranged. The insurgent problem in the Philippines should not be diffi cult. It began in a fight for freedom irom :pain, and that is assured. So are Republican institutions. If any or the lilippinos are fighting for power they will be disappointed. The . United Mates is under no obligations to set up an independent Filippino state, nor would it be judicious to attempt it. Many of the islands and some of their interior regions are still unsubdued and uncivilized. The United States has been dealing with such races through its history and the American Indians were more for miuaoie man any i? ilippino savage tribes. We are not beginners in the business of opening the wilderness and replacing barbarism with an or derly society. Cuba's case is more complex. Spain would willingly agree, for cer tain financial considerations, to cede the island. But we are pledged against the acceptance of sovereignty Wit' out the consent of the inhabi tants. Yet we afe equally pledged to assume full military control for a preliminary period, and during that time we must also aceepf responsi bility for the safety of life and prop erty. When Cuba is paciQed we are "to leave the government and control of the island to its people." The term of our military government will depend upon our own view of what constitutes pacification. Not that the word will be used for quibbing. Before our army is withdrawn from Cuba and our officials from its cus tom houses a reputable, stable and competent government must be in sight, one that wi!l meet proper obli gations aud be free from the dangers of misrule and revolution, which are the curse of the half-Spanish sover eign states. By the end of the year the American flag will be supreme in Cuba and the Philippines, as well as Porto Rico and Hawaii.. The year 1898 will go into the record as one of splendid expansion for the United States. Hobson's trolley built from the shore to raise the Colon is a fresh il- Manyof the Democratic state plat forms are silent; on expansion. The business men of America will govern themselves accordingly on election day. PROFESSIONALS. A W. LUNDELL, B. M- Teacher of Vocal Culture. Bight Heading and Harmony.

"When you are sick, what yon like best is to be chosen for a medicine in the first place ; what experience tells you is beet, to be chosen in the second place; what reason (i. e.. Theory) Bays is beet ie to ba chosen in the last place. Bat if you can get Dr. Inclination, Dr. Ex perience and Dr. Reason to hold a con sultation together, they will give you the best advice that can be taken." When you have a bad cold Dr. Incli nation would recommend Chamberlain's Cough Remedy because ' it is pleasant and safe to take. Dr. Experience would recommend it becauee it never fails to effect a speedy and permanent cure. Dr. Reason would recommend it becanse it is prepared on eciontiiu: principles. and acta on nature's plan in relieving the lungs, opening . the secretions and restoring the system to a natural and healthy condition.

There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed con dition of the mucous lining of the Eus tachian Tube. When this tube is in flamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is en tirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed for ever;' nine casas out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an in flamed condiiion of the mucous surfaces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured bv Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars : free. F. J. Cheney & Co.. Toledo. O.
