VICTIMS OF APPENDICITIS.
Two Patients Operated Upon and
One Dies without Medical Attendance.

Yesterday afternoon at 8 o'clock
Michael Clune, Of Dundaff street, 27
years old, was operated on for appen-
dicitis by Dr. A. Gillls at DR.. Wheel
er's Private hospital. The appen-
dix was removed and found to con-
tain a large quantity of foreign mate
rial.
Saturday, Charles, the 16-year-old
son of Mr. and Mrs. w. II. Evans, of
South Main street was operated on
at the same place by the same physi-
clan for the same disease. In his
case the difficulty was further ad-
vanced and the appendix contained a
concretion the size of a bean. Both
patients are in favorable conditions at
present
Paul Bedner, who died the other day
without medical attendance, was
found by Coroner Roberts to have sue
cumbed to Inflammation of the appen-
dix.

THE LAW OF ACQUISITION.

The United States possesses, says Mr..
Gardiner, a.. talented member of the
New York bar, all the attributes of the
most potential sovereignty. He quotes
extendedly from the Supreme Court of
the United States for over a hundred
years to establish this proposition. 1t
follows, therefore, that unless specihcal-
ly prohibited by its Constitution, that
sovereignty can be exercised without re-
striction by the Federal Government.
He thus makes the point that this
nation has the right to, acquire by pur-
chase treaty, discovery or in any way
in which a potential power may operate.
and the right to SO acquire is not spe-
officially renounced in the Constitution,
and no one SO contends. 1t has exer-
cised the power of acquisition repeated

Guano Islands, in buying Alaska and in

and if to hold then to govern, also as a
matter of course. because holding and
governing are ancillary to acquiring.

by the contigufty nor the rernoteness
of the acquisition.
Mr.. Gardiner then makes the point
that all problems Of expansion are POI
litical, not judicial. and we take il that
this will not be questioned. It follows,

tdon, holding and governing, are de-
pendent upon the political tribunal.

and govern is accompanied by the
power also to sell or otherwise dispose
of. Having the power to dispose, as
Well as to acquire. hold and govern, We
have the power to-nominate the form of
government over our unorganizedl terri
tories or possessions. and we have al
ways done so, and we can repeat the
operation in the Philippines without any
infringement of constitutional restraint.
The Constitution guarantees to the
States alone, not unorganized territor-
les, or even to the organized ones, the
fright to republican or particular form
of government The inhabitants of a
coded territory do not possess implied
rights to a special form of government
of a republican character. Their rights
then are wholly dependent upon Con-
gress, and when it is inactive upon the
professionally established government
under the Executive order. Not being
citizens of this country the inhabitants
of the newly coded territory do not pos
sess the right to emigrate to this coun-
try.
In other words, their rights are neith-
er more nor less than those of any other
alien race We may, therefore, provide
the order of government for acquired
territory that we think fit for it; we
may establish a distinct tariff schedule
for it, and modify other regulations al

Archbishop Kahn is right. He de-
clares that our duty in the Philippines
IS to make the authority of the United
states supreme, and that we must do so
at all hazards. The Archbishop says,

there must be no looking backward, no
retreating. Should we withdraw now

IT is undenied that we had not ships

ports Of New York and Boston and
otner seaports of the Atlantic.
AS for the Pacific coast, It was prac-

direct assault upon it, 1t is very true
that since the Spanish war we have
mace arrangements to add materially
to the American navy, but, as the Adj

degree enlarged the defensive area Of
the country. We have now Porto Rico
to look after, and the Philippines, be-

seem that the Admiral makes his case

should be over the enlargement of our

MR.. BONAPARTE DECLINES.

Mr.. Charles ]. Bonaparte Of Baltl-
more, himself a. descendant of the
family of the Little Corporal
the other day refused to permit
his name to. be used as an off,
Ger of the Anti mperiaAist League Of
Boston. His letter of declinatfon is a
sharp rebuke to those who are pro-
noting such concerns.
Mr.. Bonaparte is one of those who
hold that the United States makes a
mistake in taking the Philippine ISL
ands. He thinks the reason for the
war in the islands insufficient, and that
on the signing Of the protocol we should
have withdrawn our troops from the
archipelago. Nevertheless, now that we
are at war with the insurgents he does
not propose any concessions to them
as conditions precedent to surrender
and recognition of our authority. He
adds that he does not now recommend
negotiations with the revolted Fill
pinos, or any attempt to organize a
quasi independent government under
our. suzerainty or protection in the
archipelago If we must own the ISL
ands in any sense, or become at all
responsible for their peace and good
government, he would have system
similar to that of England in India
established there, to which complete
submission to our authority is an es-
sential first STEP
E And then Mr.. Bonaparte, who is en-
titled to his opinions, says:
I am personally unwilling to take any
part in an agitation, which may have
some tendency to cause a public. en-
envy to persist in armed resistance, or
may be at least plausibly represented
as having this tendency. There can
be no doubt that as a matter of fact
the country is at war with Aguinaldo
and his followers. I profoundly regret
this fact; think it's causes very dis
creditable to- our President and his Off
cial advisers But it is a fact, never
theless, and as such must weigh in
determining my conduct as citizen.
Mr. Atkinson and his sentimental as
sociates may well ponder this reply
from Baltimore. 1t is frank and honest,
and reflects the views of a citizen who
will not permit his personal ideas to
initiate, against the success of national
arms

OUR NAVAL STRENGTH.

Admiral SIMPSONS contention is I'M.
doubtedly correct that in any war with
which the United States will be likely
to be plunged hereafter will be because
of assault by sea; or, if we are the pro-
voking cause we must assail by sea-
He therefore holds that, comparatively,
the American 3avy should be stronger
than the American army. That is, that
we can better do with non increase of
the army strength than to suffer be-
cause. of a. navy of inadequate proper
lions and power.
Z If we are ever assailed from abroad
the assailant must, to engage our army,
land his. forces, and this he must do
under naval cover; therefore our navy
should be sufficiently strong to prevent
such landing and to drive off any who
attempt it. This reduces the probable
tiles of war to battle on the seas main
of Canada or Mexico joining an issue of
arms with us, and assuming that Eng
land will never be disposed to permit
any differences between herself and this
country to reach the war stage.
Our foes of the future, therefore, will
be naval foes. and we must in conse-
quence be prepared to meet any such.
The Rear Admiral thinks we have not
ships of war in sufficient number or of
sufficient power to make us safe in a
possible contest at sea, since whatever
Power we might be engaged with will
be one having a more than considerable
naval force He claims, with strong
reason, that the recent war with Spain
demonstrated that we were weak com
pared with the naval strength essential
had we been. engaged with almost any
other Power than SPAIN That nation
had not a greatly formidable naval
force, yet it was able to terrorize the

DEFEATING CONSUMPTION.

Before the American Medical Asso-
citation at Columbus, O., Crottee, the
eminent French chemist, has appeared
and announced that he has discovered
what he believes a treatment for tuber-
.culosis that is, a specific. He AYERS
that he has cured 900 cases of fully
developed consumption. His method
has excited so much interest that sew
eral leading members of the American
faculty have declared that they be-
lieve the long sought cure for con-
sumption has at last been found.
T Crottee is SO confident of his success
that he proposes to establish clinics
in several parts of the United States,
one of these to- be at Los Angeles,
where one-lung people are supposed to
be more abundant than elsewhere on
this coast. Crottee's treatment con-

It is to be hoped that the new discov-
cry is all that Is claimed for it. We
have had in the last ten years half
dozen announcements of this order, but
none of the claims made for cures have
been fully established It is not; un-
reasonable, however, to suppose that a
curative agent will be found that will
kill the tubercules and allow the patient
under natures own processes to re-
cover his strength and vigor.

THE PURE FOOD. COMMISSION.

The Senatorial Commission for IN
quiry into adulteration of food con-
tinues it's Investigations at Chicago.
The dispatches assert that the Chair
man of the. commission, Senator Mason
of Illinois, has suffered under threats
Of intimidation. and he himself is re-
ported as saying that the glucose
trust had opposed his commission ana
himself, and long agosins the unadultef-
ated flour fight had sought to frighten
him, going even to members OF ms
family and attempting to bride them TO
use their influence to discourage the
Senator.
However, this cuts but small figure
in the inquiry. The commission has to
this date done excellent work, having
unearthed. any amount of rascality on
the part of manufacturers who have
been selling as pure foods articles
adulterated, treated and doctored, pc
sides any amount of wholly spurious
stuff labeled as pure goods The Sem
ator announces that the commission
will introduce a bill in Congress in
December requiring the truth to be
plainly labeled on every package OF
fered for sale; that is, if chicory is
sold it must be labeled cl1icory, not
coffee. The bill will also provide for,
such changes in the revenue laws as
will inhibit- the importation of food
goods which are forbidden sale in the
country of their production RI
This good work of the commission
should go on, and be- made searching
and exhaustive. To this date the COM
mission has not wavered hairs
breadth from the purpose of its crea-
ton. We have reason, therefore, to
expect from it on the meeting Of Con-
gress a report that will prove startling,
for it is known that the committee has
brought. to light facts beyond posi-
bility of successful contradiction, show
ing that a much larger percentage of
goods offered for sale for food is more
spurious than the general public sup
poses, and that the disclosures exceed,
greatly those made some years ago by
the Chemist Wiley of the Agricultural
Department of, the Government.

[TY AND WAGE ADJ
VANCE.

The Louisville "Courier-Journar' will
scarcely be called an Administration
supporter. It retains it's position as at
least part Of the conscience of the
Democratic party. It defies those who
would read it out Of the Democratic
ranks. But the "Courier-Journal'
knows fact when it meets it face to
face upon the street. Instead of fol-
lowing the lead of some of its brethren
OF the opposition party, and attempting
to explain away prosperity and aug
menting good, refusing credit to ex-
listing conditions and drawing conclu-
sions adverse to the Administration OF
the day, the "Courier-JournaP' frankly
says that prosperity is here; it is here
because Of conditions undeniable, and
that it is not creditable to the Denaoe-
racy to attempt to explain away
fact.
Remarking upon the constant news
augmenting of working forces, the
Courier Journal says such news at
tracts little attention now because so
frequent and general. 1t declares that
ut would be easier to name the indus
tries in which wages have not been
increased than those in which they
have BEEN" and it adds:
The movement began with the steel
i,-av nd in, q H.
dustries, but now has spread over the
whole field of labor. Prosperity is. so
general that employment is within the
reach Of every man who honestly de-
sires to work, and it is likely to con-
tinue so for a long time. Still better,
the rate of pay is such that even the
unskilled laborer is assured Of more
than a bare existence, and for the pru-
dent and economical there is always a
home, however humble, and some sort
of independence in sight. Improvidence,
of course causes suffering and will
continue to cause it, but conditions are
so favorable now that the working
man need not want for the necessaries
and many of the comforts Of life.
The Courier Journal is not content
to stop with these declarations, but
asserts that the position of the laborer
is superior in the United States to-day
to that of any other country of the
world Indeed, it is SO good that even
well Uniformed men seldom realize it to
it's full extent While the pay of. the
skilled artisans in certain lines of in
dustry and in certain establishments
