"COME CLOSER"
Do you want to scrape an acquaintance with a summery, Bunny
suiting? 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
