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 constitutional remedies.
Deafness Is caused by an inflamed con.
dition Of the mucous lining Of the
Eustachian Tube When this tube is
infiamed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when IL is en-.
tirely closed, Deafness is the result, and
unless tho 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 Ia nothing but an
inflamed condition Of the mucous sur.
faces.
We will give one hundred dollars for
any case Of deafness (caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh
Cure. Send for circulars free.

The assertion, so often made, that
there are no historical grounds for
bringing the Philippine islands into the
union without giving them vote for
president and vice president. is an in
correct one. New Mexico has been o
part Of the union and yet had no voice
whatever in its affairs for more than 80
years. and seems likely to continue 80
for some years to come. All this has
been done under the constitution. There
has been no upheavel of the govern
ment nor subversion Of its functions in
consequence. II it is true that thou
sands of people in New Mexico have
lived under the protection OF the stars
and stripes for more than a half century
in admitted compliance both with the
letter and the spirit Of the constitution
does it not necessarily and logically fol
low that some millions of the Filipinos
can have the protection Of old glory and
be an integral part Of the union for sew
eral centuries-yes, indefinitely, if nec
essary-without disturbing the safety
Of the republic. and at the same time
steadily, surely promoting their wei
fare. It strikes us that 1t is the sam,
kind of problem. only much larger
one.

Under the presidential succession law
passed by congress in 1886, If President
Mckinley should die, Secretary of
State John Hay would take his place as
the chief executive Of the nation.
Happily in this particular case, the peo-
pie would have confidence in Mr.. Nc
Kinley's successor. But the law creates
q singular condition Of affairs in case Of
such an emergency. 1t is as abnormal
as it is untenable under our theory OF
government. It makes the president
name his own successor, and gives US
an appointive rather than an elective
president. Mr.. Hay, for instance, has
proved himself at the court Of st. James
. thorough going American and an able
statesman. But 1t is just as true that
he is one of tho last men that the people
would have elected-not because he ID
not able, and now popular, but because
he was unknown BY the masses. II
have q man president whom the people
never expressed themselves in favor Of
who owes his position to ono individual
rather than to the voters themselves, il
undemocratic and unAmerican. Some
day the law will be changed.

to gain admission to the union for

anyone can regard this suggestion as seri-

that congress will 30 consider it. 1t ia
very true that in the 80 years in which
the territory has belonged to the United

problem to solve. That it is difficult,
however, only proves more conclusively
the need of it, and it should receive
