Frank Welsh, F. E. Duvall, Chairman. Secretary. The Advance Agent of Prosperity is not doing business in Porto Rico just now. It is now in order for our republican friends who endorse the Porto Bican policy to prate about national honor. The profits of the Kimberly mining company in 1899 wero about $10,000,000, a nice sum, but nothing compared to the Carne gie iron “infant industry.” A big building trades strike is on in Chicago. The dinner-buck-et brigade is asking for a bit of this prosperity wave which is filling the pockets of the trust magnates. As usual, they will get a stone.

The Porto Rican tariff bill should never pass. Fixing a tariff against those people after annexing them to this country without consulting them, is too much like genteel robbery.—Goodland Herald (rep.) The county commissioners of Perry county have made a contract with Prof. Or. W. Swartz, principal of the Swartz Business College, Louisville, and Will Waldschmid. an Evansville attorney, expert accountants, to investigate the auditor’s and treasurer’s books. According to Otis’ reports to the War Department, the “backbone” of the Filipino insurrection has been broken again. We suggest that the General devote some attention to the “neck of the revolution” just to vary the monotony of his reports. The President has recommended and the House has passed a bill returning some $2,000,000 of duties to Porto Rico. So it is said! But to whom are these duties returned? To the people who paid them or to fat government officials? Crumpacker says that he will not accept the nomination for governor, despite the decided Crumpacker wave which has swept over the state. Mr. Crumpacker has a much more desirable office than that of governor and lie would be foolish to relinquish it for gubernatorial honors. For Governor, E. D. Crumpacker. His vote against the Porto Rican tariff bill was right politically. right under the laws of this country and right under the ties of humanity. The only good that can be said of the bill is that the fengar and tobacco trusts demanded it and refused to contribute to the Republican campaign fund unless it passed.—Fowler Leader,

The exposure of corruption in the offices of DeKalb county and the punishment of guilty officials has resulted in dean officials and honest management. The county is now free from debt, as shown by the last statement of county commissioners, and has a balance of $7,062 in the treasury. —Indidianapolis Press. The experts who have been investigating the county records of Wells county, covering a period of 13 years, nave filed their report which shows the following shortages: Ex-County Clerk J. H. Ormsby $ 33 25 Ex-County Clerk A. Oppenheim.... 186 49 Ex-County Clerk R. F. Cummins... 4.849 53 Ex-County Sheriff G. W. Huffman. 960 40 Ex-County Auditor G. Studabaker.. 318 60 Ex-County Treasurer J. P. Dean... 250 16 Ex-County Treaaurer J. B. Sturgis.. 3,526 75 Ex-County Treasurer Wm. Cover.. 2,483 69 Ex-County Treasurer B. F. Kain... 886 09 Ex-County Recorder John Stine..,. 785 55 The Republicans have discovered that expansion is not quite so nice as they expected N It now seems that Europe is pressing for the open door in the Philippines in return for Mr. Hay’s much lauded achievements in China. But the open door in the Philippines means free trade with the United States via Manila, if the Philippines are held to be part of this country and to be therefore entitled to free trade with it. So the Republicans are in-the quandary of having to deny the Constitution to the Filipinos—if the Supreme Court will let them—or of inaugurating free trade with the world. As the Democrats insisted long ago, expansion and protection are irreconcilable.

Quite a number of our exchanges have been publishing the statement that claims for exemption from taxation under the mortgage exemption law of the last legislature, must be made between the first day of March and the first day of April, while a few —including the Rensselaer Journal and the Official Apologist —say that these claims can ouly be filed during the month of April. The act itself says: Sec. 2. Any person desiring to avail himself. or herself, of the precisions this act shall, between the FIRST DAY MARCH and the FIRST DAY OF MAY of each year, file with the auditor of the county wherein said real estate is situate a sworn statement of the amount of such mortgage Indebtedness existing and unpaid on the first day of March of that year, giving the name and residence of the mortgagee, and shall also give the name and residence of the assignee or bona fide owner or holder of said mortgage, if known, and if not known, said person shall state that fact, and shall also state the record and page where said mortgage is recorded, and a brief description of the real estate upon which such incumbrance exists. If anyone lias other authority than this let them produce it.

We shall not be surprised should many Republicans from now on feel disposed to confess thtft a grave mistake has been made in taking the Philippines. It is probable that there will be a growing demand for a correction of that mistake as speedly as possible, for our own sakes. It will be argued that since the retention of the islands involves us in so many difficulties, moral, constitutional and political, and that as the relinquishment of the islands to their inhabitants would emancipate us from all these difficulties, the strongest self-interest enjoins the latter course. If pride is to be consulted, surely that would be hurt less by making the Fillipinos free than by enslaving the Puerto Ricans. If commercial and military advantage is to be determinative, the advocates of retirement will urge that in return for protection against foreign aggression, such as we gave to Hawaii before annexation, we can have coaling stations, and commercial privileges for the asking from a grateful and friendly people. It will nlso lie contended that if we hold on to the Philippines the time will inevitably come when out of pure weariness of the task of governing 1,200 distant islands, peopled with tribes alien to us in blood, customs and ideals, we shall let them go and give them the privilege of working out their own destiny.—Philadelphi North American.

Prosperity's Reign.

Architects say that the local building season has received a black eye by the recent advance in the prices of materials which, added to previous very large increases, practically prohibit building. The price of lumber, they say, has increased 30 per cent within the last month. Quite a number of flats and other buildings that were projected will probably not be built, they say.—lndianapolis Press (rep.) S. P. Thompson will sell his lands in Union township, in tracts, and on terms to suit those desiring to farm or raise stock. See or write to S. P. Thompson, Rensselaer, Ind.

Two violations of the Constitution in a single week is the record J of the republican majority in the House—a record that shonld drive the republican party from power. It does not mitigate the offense against constitutional government that one of these violations shonld have been an attempt to partially right the wrong committed in the other. A rightful thing wrongly done is often as bad or worse than a wrong. When the republican majority, driven by the party whip, passed the bill levying a 15 per cent, duty on the products of Porto Rico for a period of two years, a grievous wrong was inflicted upon the Porto Ricans and the Constitution of the U. S. was violated. Later, when the republicans became alarmed at the vigorous protests from all sections of the country against the proposed robbery of the helpless Porto Ricans, they again violated the Constitution by doing a thing right in principle in the wrong way —passing a bill placing more than $2,000,000, already in the Treasury, and all future collections under Dingley duties upon Porto Rican products, at the disposal of the President, to be expended under his discretion for the benefit of Porto Rico. It is perfectly right that every dollar of this money should be spent for the benefit of Porto Rico, bat. ns Representative Bailey so forcibly pointed out, it is everlastingly wrong, to turn over to the discre-' tion of one man money in the Treasury of the U. S., when the Constitution expressly gives the right to dispose of money in the Treasury to Congress, and not to the Executive. But good may come out of evil. These things serve to accentuate in the minds of the people the attitude of the two great political parties toward the Constitution—to make plain, that there is only one Constitutional party and that is the democratic party.

We have saved many doctor bills since we began using Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy is our home. We keep a bottle open all the time and whenever any of my family or myself begin to catch cold we begin to use the Coogh Remedy, and as a result we never have to send away for a doctor and incur a large doctor bill, for Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy never fails to cure. It is certainly a medicine of great merit and worth. —Dr. D. S. Mearkle, General Merchant and Farmer, Mattie. Bedford connty, Pa. For sale by Hunt Bros. Druggists.

LaGrippe Is a fatal disease. It has taken front rank before the dreaded small pox, scarlet fever, diphtheria, etc., In that its fatalities outnumber those of all other' fprms of disease. Daring the seasons when the grip is prevalent, I every man, woman and child is exposed to itsawfal ravages. The atmosphere is everywhere thoroughly impregnated with the deadly germs. It is contagions as well ns infections, and may be contracted by one person from another or taken into the system in myriads of microbes through inhalation. It strikes straight to the very foundation upon which life exists j —the nerves —and tears asunder j the vital framework in remarkably short time.
