Still More Counterfeiting.

The Secret Service has unearthed an
other band of eounterfeiters and Sc
cured large quantity of bogus bills,
which are SO cleverly executed that
the average person would never sus-
pect them of being spurious. Things
of great value are always selected by
eounterfeiters for imitation, notably the
celebrated Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
which has many imitators but no
equals for indigestion, dyspepsia, con-
stipation, nervousness and general de-
bility. The Bitters sets things right in
the stomach, and when the stomach is
in good order it makes good blood and
plenty of it, In this manner the Bit
ters get at the seat of strength and vi
tality, and restore vigor to the weak
and debilitated. Beware of counter
feits when buying.

Big Suit Over Water Rights.

Walter Lamb, the stenographer, has
returned from Lander county, where
he reported an interesting case. The
Lower Reese river farmers brought
suit against the land owners on the
upper river to have the water rights of
the former respected.
The trial consumed twelve days
Between fifty and sixty witnesses were
examined. The attorneys made a
brilliant fight. 1t seems that the lower
river was settled few months before
the upper stream, and priority of right
was therefore with the first named.
The case was decided in favor of the
plaintiffs. If the decision of the court
stands it will deprive the up-streamers
entirely of the use of water, as there is
not enough for all. Their outlook is
very dark. IL may mean the abandon
ment of number of farms and bank
ruptey of the settlers. Reno Journal

Referring particularly to the Philip
pines, Mr.. Newlands said that the DOM
inant party is desirous of preventing
freedom of migration and free trade
between the United States and the
Philippines. This feeling he believed
to be general throughout the country.
But, he claimed, there was but one con-
stitutional way of accomplishing this,
and that was to declare that the Phil
ippines do not belong to us and that
the sovereignty of the United States
would not be exercised in these islands
except for their pacification and the
establishment of a stable government
and the final establishment ofindepend-
ent selfgovernment in those distant
islands. Duty, interest and eonstitu-
tional obligations all point to this as
the only correct course for the United
States TO pursue with reference to the
Philippines.
Porto Rico, he said, returning to the
bill, presents a different problem. All
parties are agreed that it is a perma-
nent possession of the United States.
What shall be done with it? Our plain
duty, he insisted, is to incorporate that
neighboring island into the Union as
Territory, with all the rights and priv
ileges under the Constitution and our
laws that inhere to a Territory. Eoual-
ity of right and equality of burden
would render the people of that island
satisfied with our scheme of govern
ment. They would be contented with a
state of tutelage which would ultimate
ly lead to their representation in the
union of States. Discrimination, ine-
quality of rights and burdens would be
a source of never ending irritation and
opposition that would make a condi-
tion of peaceful tutelage impossible.

ABSOLUTELY Pure


must be established and maintained,
for otherwise, he argued, each COM

regard itself as the victim of prejudice
or the self.interest of the people of the
United States. Unrest and dissatis-
faction would be created by such con-
ditions, feelings that would be easily
kindled into overt hostility.

Mr. Newlands stated that his oppo-
sition to the permanent retention of
the Philippines arose from the fact that
under the Constitution the Fillipinos
would have the right to come to our
country, and their goods would come
in free of duty. No one could measure
their competition with our laboring
people, and its effect on our wage sys-
TEN. 1t would be a second Chinese in
yasion.

Mr. Newlands stated it to be his be-
lief that the dominant party was dis
posed to establish in Porto Rico ter
ritorial form of government and ex-
tend to the island and its people our
Constitution and laws, but, he declared,
they feared that to do so would be to
establish precedent that would con-
troll our action when it came time to
deal permanently with the Philippines.
In the case of Porto Rico, he said, we
were dealing with an island near our
own coast, easily governed, inhabited
by a people who have evinced every
disposition to be friendly, and to MAIN
tain peaceful relations with us. The
Philippines on the other hand, he said,
embraced in the archipelago some /, 200
islands, 1000 miles distant from our
shores, inhabited by a diverse popula-
ton, ranging from barbarous to semi
civilized tribes, speaking different Ian
guages, having different habits and
customs, many of them displaying a
hostile feeling toward us, and all of
them more or less intractable.
Mr.. Newlands held that so far as
Porto Rico was concerned, it would
not be long, in any event, whatever
present objections there might be in
the dominant party to that course, be-
fore freedom of trade would be estab
lished between Porto Rico and the
United States. He said he believed
that the settlement ofthe constitutional
question raised by the bill would not
be long delayed. lie believed that
discriminating tariff was unconstitu-
tional, and would exist only tempora.
rily. Indeed, he believed such an un-
Just condition of trade would last but
a short time, even if it were constitu-
tional, because policy and expediency
enlightened selfinterest, that govern
ing policy of enlightened nations
would forbid the continued existence
of a state of affairs that could have but
one result-the creation of unrest and
dissatisfaction among the people who
suffer by the determinations. He be-
lieved the sense of justice of the people
of the United States would lead to the
repeal of this contemplated law If it
was written on the statute books.

Newlands on the Porto Rico Tariff.

The Baltimore NeWs gives the fol-
lowing resume of Mr.. Newlands'
speech in the House of Representa-
tives:
Mr.. Newlands of Nevada was the
first speaker. He is a man of medium
height, reddish hair, blue eyes, smooth
face, deliberate and impressive as a
speaker. He consumed two hours in
delivering carefully prepared argu-
ment against both the eonstitutionality
and policy of the bill.
Mr.. Newlands was heard with undi-
vided attention and his remarks pro-
duced strong impression among the
members, for he is known as an inde-
pendent thinker and clear-headed
and progressive statesman.
Mr.. Newlands stated the problem be-
fore Congress in these luminous terms:
"As the result of humanitarian war
inaugurated, not for conquest, but to
free Cuba from Spain's oppression, the
United States finds itself in the quail
fled possession of Cuba, in the unqual-
flied possession of Porto Rico, and in
the disputed possession of the Philip
pines. All these islands are to-day un-
der the military power of the United
States Government Congress is now
called upon to act, and the questions
are: First--What duty and good NOR
ais require of US regarding these ISL
ands? Second - What self interest
prompts us to do? Third-What our
constitutional power is regarding these
islands? Every phase of obligation,
duty and right which could be present
ed to us by any conquest or cession of
territory is presented to US in the three
classes of acquisition thus secured.n
Mr.. Newlands declared emphatically
that no complications existed as to
Porto Rico unless they were created by
the maladministration of Congress.
Porto Rieo's area is small, he said, its
people can be easily absorbed; they
are ready and willing and eager TO
share with US the benefits and burdens
of our Government. Their industrial
competition, he insisted, would not be
serious, even though they are taken
inside the tariff wall.

GOVERNOR RoosETELTs MESSAGE.

Governor Roosevelt naturally gives first place
In his annual message to the canals. They
really constitute the most troublesome problem
connected with the State government. With
$4,000, 900 spent on our waterways for an i'm
proyeInent which is less than half finished, no.
body seems TO know quite what is best to be
done. The Governor himself is not yet prepared
TO make definite and comprehensive recon-
mendations, but he promises basis for legsla-
ton soon in the reports of the Commerce Com
mission appointed by Governor Black and the
special Canal Commission which has been at
work under his own direction Meanwhile he
reports that the canals being well admins
tered under Superintendent Partridge, and gives
figures showing a net saving of about % per
cent in the cost of their maintenance in the first
eight months of his administration. In dealing
with the msmanagement of the 100000 i'm
provement the Governor displays commendab Bile
frankness, and makes practical acknowledge
ment of the mistake which he committed last
summer in declaring that Messrs. Fox and Mac
farlane had reported that 1.-The charges of cor
'ruption were baseless and were discreditable in
1.-THE highest degree to those making them" He
has since studied their report and saws that
THE delinquency shown justified public indgna-
zion, but it did not afford ground for criminal
prosecution" which is exactly true. The Gov
ernor had DO remedy Tor the canal scandals at
hand but change in the methods and personnel

employment. Nevertheless, in their work for
the State they are compelled to be honest, and
for that the Governor is entitled to credit
The Governor hopes for knueh through the
Tax Commission he secured last winter from
the Legislature, but previous experience with
tax revision plans will not prompt in others
such sanguine expectations. A just tax system
is hard TO devise and harder still To enact He
reJoices over the adoption Of the franchise tax
and he is entitled TO do so, for it was the most
important and beneficial piece of legislation
which marked his first year Governor. He Is
wise in calling attention TO the danger of driv-
ing capital from the State by oppressive taxes.
His discussion Of trusts, like most discussions
OF trusts is somewhat in the air. The fact is
that nobody knows just how TO deal with the
great combinations which are so Characteristic
and seemingly so inevitable feature Of our In
