Rupture as it is commonly understood, is pro-
truson of the intestines through the abdominal
walls. II is caused by strain may develop so
slowly as not to be noticed until the bowels have
produced an enlargement. As long as the bowels
be put back it is called reduiable hernia, and
when the bowels become caught compressed by
contracting tissues in such way TO cut off the
blood supply, it is called strangulated rupture,
which can be relieved by the knife only.
All forms of hernia can be cured by our meth
cd so that when patient makes up his mind to
be cured by us, he is Justified in throwing
dWdu his truss. We are prepared to prove that
any person by method may be cured to stay
cured. The discovery marks a new era in this
branch OF special surgery. In this department, we
are devoting our exclusive time to the treatment of
rupture, varicocele, hydrocele enlargement of the
prostate gland, diseases of the bladder and all
forms Of special diseases of the pelvic organs.
The rapid effect produced in the cure of structure
and varcocele is most gratifying. These diseases
are so thoroughly removed that they cannot re-
turn. If any person afflicted will write the san-
tarium at Kalamazoo, their communication will re-
ceive careful attention and prompt answer.
Consultation and examination are Free. Our
terms are moderate and our cures are abso-
lutely certain.

COMMISSION PLANS.

We urge our readers TO put little, II
any, dependence upon the street talk
regarding the plans or theories Of the
u. S. Commissioners, regarding the flu
t1lre government Of this territory. The
views Of the Commissioners viii not
take definite shape at present, simply
because the Commissioners are at pres
ent only thinking and discussing. It
is quite probable that before making a
report to Congress they will discuss
their views with President Mckinley.
This is simply an opinion in the mat
ter. Sensible men can generally be
counted on to take a sensible course.
In a matter which may possibly in
volve new departure from the "tra-
ditions. there viii be no haste on the
part of the Commissioners to advance
crude opinions.

The Commission should understand
the situation. 1t would be wise for il
to provide, if possible, some legislation
which may at some period in the fu-
ture deal with the subject 1t is a
most troublesome issue, and cannot,
we presume, be dealt with wisely by
the present Commission. In the

a few hundred miles of agOnizing
poetry, it was not sufficiently prOtract-
ed for conclusive experiments on aer-

satisfactory. Too much fire was drawn.
The use of carrier pigeons did not

DRIED SCOTT CASE.

Several inquiries are made about the
"Dred Scott decision, alluded TO yes
terday in these columns. Briefly stat
ed it is this: bred Scott was a slave
At one time his master had taken him
into what was called free territory,
that is, territory where slavery did not
exist as a fact He had also been TAX
en- into d free State at one time He
brought a proceeding before the courts
to establish his right to freedom. When
the case reached the Supreme Court Of
the United States. it was carefully con
sidered by the judges. and the major
ity Of the court held that bred was
a negro and d slave, and therefore he
was not a person or a citizen, and
could not sue in the Federal courts.
The decision of the case against
bred Scott created intense excitement
among the "abolitionists." 1t largely
contributed to the political excitement
that provoked the Civil war. 1t was
discussed on the stump, and in every
boys debating society in the Northern
States. 1t caused personal encounters
between the free soil" students in
Yale college, and the students from
| the slave States. The Constitution
had clearly recognized property in
slaves, but the Abolitionists and free
soil men claimed that it did not. Gar
rison said that the Constitution was
only league with hell"
AS the bred Scott case settled the
law that a Niger" had no standing in
any Federal court, it sharply defined
the issues between freedom and slav-
cry.
The decision of the case involved,
more or less, the relation Of the terri
tories to the general Government. The
Court held, among other things, that
Congress held all acquired territory as
a trustee for the people of the United
States, and therefore Congress was
bound to legislate for the territories,
and govern them, as the people of the
although Congress had the power
under the Constitution, to make rules
and regulations" for the territories, it
could not deprive the people of a ter
ritory of the right to trial by jury.
Congress had. according to the lester
of the Constitution. the right 10 de
rr;ye them of jury trials, bur the Court
interpreted this provision to mean thar
Congress must govern the territories
in the same way, substantially, as the
people of the States governed thcm-
selves. 1t referred, however, only tC
the fundamental right The decision
recognized the power of Congress to
make different laws FOR different ter
ritories in matters that do not involve
fundamental principles.
The force and legal value of the bred
Scott case ended when the Constitution
was amended by the abolition Of slav-
cry. The principles of the decision
stand and indicate the relation of this
territory to the Federal Government.

with a guarantee that a bank would
