When the Senate ratified the treaty
with Spain the Philippines became Of
the territory Of the United States. BY
that ratification the Senate placed it
out Of the power Of the president to
abandon the islands or to yield one iota
Of our authority over them. The presi-
dent has no more power to permit the
Tagals TO assume csntrol Of the Phil
ippines than any township constable
has. II President Mckinley should at
tempt to abandon territory acquired by
the constitutional action of the United
States Senate. he would be liable to
impeachment and removal from office;
and by such breach Of his duties would
merit it, Should he fail to resist all
efforts to wrest the territory from the
United States by force he would b,
equally violating his constitutional
duties Those who insist upon surren-
der to the Tagals demand Of the presi
dent that he subject himself TO i'm

During the first nine months Of 1899
there was laid 2,7OO miles of track on
new railroads in the United States
This is at the rate Of $500 miles a
year. in 1898 there were 5000 miles
laid. It is expected that the average
for the remainder OF 1899 will some
what exceed the average thus far. In
1895 the new lines constructed did not
aggregate 1000 miles There has been
a steady and a growing increase ever
since. With vast sections Of still un.
developed territory in the South and
West to be brought into closer touch
with the markets OF the East, the de-
mand for additional transportation ia
cilites is not likely to slacken.

Big Sturgeon Caught.

A catch made by three Shelton fisher
men the other night may lead to important
results Three of them were out after
salmon and when taking in their net on
one occasion they were considerably sur
prised to see in it two immense sturgeon.
One considerably larger than the other
two managed to make his escape, The
two that were captured were dressed and
found to weigh 100 pounds each. The
capture of sturgeon in these waters is
somewhat unusual and there is no record
of any ever caught that weighed anywhere
near 100 pounds. A gentleman who ate
of the captured sturgeon says that it was
of excellent flavor On the Columbia
river the marketing of sturgeon is an i'm
portant industry, and if it is found that the
fish can be caught in numbers this far up
the Sound it will not be long until some
one goes into the business of catching and
shipping them-Olympian

WAsHINGToN's hop crop has been
gathered this season in as good, if not
better condition than at any time in
its history. The development OF
spraying and the close observance of
this preventative has proyen that
nothing is to be feared by the careful,
active grower from the ravages Of lice.
This season spraying was done early
In the season, and very few yards suf-
fered from. vermin, while the hops
secured are of prime quality, likely to
command the best prices offered. The
yield is still variously estimated, rang
ing from $500 bales to 10000 bales.
1t ought to crowd last years output, of
81 900 bales closely and probably viii.
Growers are looking for better figures
than now prevail. and many expect to
see values go to 15c. The hop crop
will be worth in the neighborhood of
81 ,OOO, 600 to Western Washington and
Yakima county, and as it has -:ontin
ued to yield profit for several years,
there will be a moderate increase in
acreage next season.-W. G. Trade.
AMONG the many peculiarities OF the
present prosperity, says the Tacoma
Ledger, is the fact that railway build
ing in the United States this year has
been restricted by the scarcity of
laborers and the difficulty in securing
steel rails and other supplies. Asst is,
100 miles of new railway have been
built the first nine months of the year,
which would have been largely in
creased but for the above named con-
ditions. 1t is reported that many
hundred miles OF railway are under
construction that cannot be finished
this year for lack of laborers. Mr..
Bryan might paste these items in his
hat as another example of what he is
pleased to call Ga resemblance of pros
perity," and an illustration OF the
curse of gold.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured


by local applications, as they cannot reach the
Diseased portion of the ear There is only one
way to cure Deafness, and that is by constitu-
tional remedies Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets inaam-
ed you have rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed Deafness
is the result, and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an infamed condition OF
the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case

Green Bone.

The value of green bone lies in its
we'll proportioned and numerous con-
stituents, which are just what is need
ed by the hen to produce eggs, says
Inland Poultry. In it we have lime
for the shell, mineral water for the
yolk and a1bumen for the white. 1t is
as near all around food as any can be.
There is one objection to it, and that
is that it is somewhat concentrated 1t
hens are fed on it entirely, they will
eat to much; hence it is necessary to
feed it in connect with some bulky
food, such as clover or bran.
