Oqo week $ 18 Oao month 0 One year 6 00 "WEDNESDAY - - - MARCH 21, 1900 JIT IS NOT A CONSTITUTIONAL QUESTION. A contemporary takes The Ciiuo.v iclk to task for saying that the United States is under no comtitu lional obligation to open our ports to the free exchange of commodities TFith our new possessions. Well, this is a question to be determined "by reason and not by abuse. It will not suffice for an answer to quole the provision of the constitution that Bays that "all duties, imports and excises shall be uniform throughout the United States" unless it be first shown that the constitution, of its own force, and without any action of congress, applies to the possessions in question. Does it so apply ? Then ire have violated the constitution in every territory that has come into -our possession since the act of 1798 establishing a lerriloiial government Jor Mississipi, down to the time of tbe acquisition of Puerto Rico and the Philippines. More than that. "We are now violating the constitu lion in every territory, organized or unorganized, in our possession. Cong tdss has invariably established prin ciple in regard to our territories that arc utterly repugnant to the consti tution. In what territory is the federal judiciary established accord ingto the terms of the constitution Why hus Alaska no repressntation in the federal congress? How did we govern Florida and Louisiana before they became states? By what right did we maintain special tariff laws in Tloridu or establish Andrew Jackson, himself, in the territory as its gov ernor, he being legislator, judiciary and executive all in one? If the constitution rules in Puerto Hico and the Philippines why are they under -quasi military rule? Why are they not represented in the United States congress? If they are a part of the United States, jn the sense of the con stitntion, why are they deprived of the right to partake in the choice of president and vice-president? The truth is our custom has always been to pass such laws for our territories as congress deemed suitable to their condition nnd this right was never -denied till John C. Calhoun, to fit the case of slavery, invented the doctrine that the constitution applies of its own force, apart from congres sional action, to nil our possessions This doctrine Thomas II. Ilcnton (no bad Democrat in his day) calls "a vagary of a diseased imagination" mod adds that "the constitution does .nothing of itself, not even in the states for which it was made. Every part of it requites a law to put it in operation. No part of it can reach A territory unless imparted to it by mat of fOflgrsM." We repeat, thore- r, lbs doctrine that bus called down on Thk Ciiiionmci.i: tho imputa tion of "wearing Mark H.mnn's col lar" and nil the plutocratic parnpher. nalin of diseased Bryanitc concep tion. The man who denies it is ignorant of the history of his country and ouaht to have tho grace of silence till he is hotter informed. A dispatch that appears elsewhere says that Germany stands ready with Hoops to protect American mission aries in Shan Tung province, China. Not only that but she recently dis patched nn expiditionary force to Ichon Fu for thctr protection. Not only that but she has actually licked a lot of hoodlums of an anti-missionary riot nnd arrested and punished the ring-leaders. This beats banaghcr. What is tho country coming to any way ? What can Bryan and Sulzer and Pettigrcw be thinking of? If this thing lasts and Bryan isn't elected next fall we will have "secret treaties" and friendly relations with every country on the globe. Dufur four ears ago was a red hot center of the free silver mania. Today, according to the report of one who knows every man in the precinct, two only are suspected of clinging to the fallacy and of these one is a socialist, and therefore not responsible, while the other says nothing aud will, it is more than probable, vote right when the time comes. lleinarkiilile Cures nf IEIimmiutUm.

Second, in rheumatism in thigh joint, almost prostrating him with severe pain, which was relieved by two appli cations, rubbing with the liniment on retiring at night, and getting np free from pain.
