We have a beautiful olive flannel which we sell in coat and pants for $9.50, It's one of the seasoivs dress novelties, bright and welcome as a Juno morning tipped with gold, and appealing with in herent forcefulness to the good taste of all who would keep step to the bugle notes of fashion. There's character in every thread of it, and for a spring suit it's "just what the doctor ordered." Remember only $9.50 we have others both sides of this price. Fine rain we had. wasn't it ? WESCOTT ON THE WASHINGTON LETTER. From our regular correspondent. "Washington, June 3, Tbe constitution has stood some hard knocks in the past from partisan decisions of the supreme court, and it will stand the extraordinary and contradictory decisions handed down last week in the insular cases. Al though for the time these decisions give the administration a free hand in carrying out its imperialistic colon ial policy, they will doubtless make enough democratic votes among the serious-minded, who believe congress to be the creature of the con stitution, instead of its being the foot ball of congress, as the principal one of these decisions practically holds it to be, to elect the next president. There is not the slightest doubt that a majority a vast majority of the people of this country regard the con stitution as the best protection of their liberties, and to doubt that they will resent its being juggled with in order to make it meet the demands of the McKinley administration, is to doubt their intelligence. l)emocrats. of course, regret that this decision was made, but they find consolation in the belief that it will result in hast ening the return t power of the dem ocratic party, which has ever been the defender of the constitution and a be liever in its strict construction. Senator Kailey of Texas, who has an established reputation as an able ex ponent of the constitution, said of the insular decision of the supreme court: 'The decision is certainly bad enough, but it is not so bad as the ad ministration pa pers are claiming. The friends of the administration are con gratulating themselves much too early if they think the decision relieves them from the embarrassment of con stitutional restriction in dealing with our new possessions. They will tind the question of taxation one of the least among the erplexities of a col onial policy: and they can only carry out their plans for governing thes; is lands by setting aside other and great er constitutional provisions. The court is apt to find that the next case will not furnish it with a subterfuge like 'The United States' to which it can limit constitutional guarantees. It will be compelled sooner or later to meet the proposition as to whether congress can enact laws for these insu lar possessions which are contrary to the express inhibitions of the consti tution. The decision, standing by it self, will tiecome the source of endless mischief and confusion. Uut its harm will not end there. Following soclose ly upon the decision in the income tax case, J t will inevitably convince the people that the supreme court holds the laws of congress, according as it deems them wise or unwise. With the wisdom of a law the court properly has no concern, and its only inquiry ought to be whether the law is or is not constitutional. For many years this rule was followed by the court, and then its decisions were re spected by all men: but I regret to say that at this time the conviction is al most universal in the public mind that the most important decisions are political rather than judicial. Presidential booms have been before now constructed of flimsy materials, but nothing was ever flimsier than the material out of which a few republic ans are trying to build a 'boom for Senator Foraker the decision of the supreme court that the I'orto Kican tariff act is constitutional. There is one unsurmountable obstacle to Fora ker's getting the republican nomina tion Ilanna. Hanna wants that nom ination himself; but even if he didn't he would not allow Foraker to get it. & SONS. CORNER. Much interest is felt in Washington in the Tillman-McLaurin fight in South Carolina, which will demons trate how much truth there is in the claim that republicanism under the disguise of McaLurinism is making headway in that state. The controversy is likely to settle that question, and the present indica tions are that Senator Tillman has the best of it. Although the general impression is that free trade with the Philippines until congress legislates otherwise nat urally follows the Porto Rico tariff de cision of the supreme court, but Sec retary (lace has ordered that duties under the Dingley tariff law shall con tinue to be collected on imports from the Philippines. Gen. Fred Grant seems ambitious to become the Admiral Sampson of the army. He reached "Washington last week and brought a bit of news with him in the shape of a claim for credit for himself for the capture of Aguin aldo. lie said: "Jt was my troops that captured Aguinaldu; they were under command of General Funston." Surely one Sampson should be an am die sufficiency for both the army and the navy. The riattsmouth pest hospital is empty, and the contagion seems to have died out in town for want of vic tims. Read it In His Newspaper. i George Schaub, a well known Ger- man citizen of New Lebanon, O., is a ' constant reader of the Dayton Volks ! zeitung. He knows that this paper ! advertises only the best in its columns, ; when he sawChamlerlain's pain balm ! advertised therein for lame back, he j didn't henitate to buy a bottle of it ! for liis wife.who for weeks had suffer ed with the most terrible pains in her back and could get no relief. He says: After using pain balm for a few days my wife said to me. 'I feel as if born anew,' and tefore using all the con tents of the iKittle the pains had en tirely vanished and she could atratn take'up her household duties." He is very thankful and hopes that all suf fering likewise will hear of her won derful recoverv. This great liniment I is for sale by all druggists.
