No matter how careful you ere about
eating, everything you take into your
stomach turns sour, causes distress,
pains and unpleasant gases.
Don't you understand what these
symptoms = signals of distress mean
They are the cries of the stomach for
help! It is being overworked. 1t needs

Name of Professor NJ. G. =. Noble Sug-
gested as Worthy Succession to Pro-
lessor Alderman as President.
Mr.. Editor:

Mr.. Editor:
In my judgment it will be impossible
to adequately fill the place made va
cant by the resignation of President
Alderman, but it is of the las impor-
lance to act wisely in choosing his
successor.
1t seems clear to me that you are
right in thinking that it is a matter of
little whether he be a teacher
or TO; the president, If he attends to
his proper duties, will have little time
to teach. Breaking AVA from the old
tradition that the president of the Uni
iversity must be a great scholar and
teacher is the secret of the immense
success Of Harvard under Mr.. Elliott.
What is needed is a gentleman Of broad
I%culture and great administrative abil-
Iity-a man who understands what a
university should be-with a knowledge
Iof men sufficient to enable him to Sc
Ilect roper teachers and assistants,
land with tact enough to handle the
difficult and delicate questions grow
ling out Of the relation Of the Uniyer-
lsity to the state.
Such a man is our Professor NJ. c. S.
Noble.
A FRIEND OF THE UNIVERSITY.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they canno
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-
Idition of the muscous lining of the
Eustachian Tube When his tube
gets inflamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, n when
it is entirely closed Deafness is the re-
suit, 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 inflamed condition of
the muscuous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars

tutional provision that all duties, etc,
shall be uniform throughout the
United States" and presents the law
decision that the term United States"
mas universal applications to territory
held.
This branch vi the subject has pre-
viously been covered as a special re-
port, Proceeding the report says;
IF the position taken by the major
ity Of the committee in recommending
the passage of the bill be ths correct
one and congress has the power to gov
ern territory OF the United States, in
dependent of the limitations of the con-
stitution, it must follow that congress
is not restrained by this instrument
from passing Jaws imposing customs
duties on the minerals and ores OF the
territories of Arizona and Mexico; the
| furs and fish Of Alaska, the lumber Of
Oklahoma and Of all other products II
these territories when imported into
any of the states of the union and also
upon all products Of any Aind into the
territories from the states or any one
of them. The power TO pass such laws
was never before claimed in ogT land.
1T is wholly Inconsistent with the
theory and form of our government.
The exercise of such power Is pure
end simple Imperialism and against it
We enter our most solemn protest. We
never have held and cannot hold ter
ritory as a political dependency and
subject to unequal taxation.
"OlT union is one of states with
common interests and a common des-
tiny. The blessing OF free government
rests alike upon our people. whether
in the thirteen original states or in the
youngest member of the union or in the
newest acquired territory. 1t does not
matter in which form territory is ac-
! quired. it is to be held under our con-
stitution with the object Of finally be-
ing admitted into the union as a state
In support of this doctrine the decis-
ions Of the supreme court are uniform
and in harmony with the doctrine here
in enunciated."
After calling attention to the presi-
dents recent recommendation for the
adjustment of all customs duties be-
tween Porto Rico and the United States
and the report of the secretary of war
to the same effect, the report concludes
as follows:
we do not know why these sudden
changes have occurred. We cannot be-
lieve that the president has been con-
verted from the opinion he so lately
| expressed or that he now admits the
unwisdom of the solemn advice he so
recently gave to congress. We are not
advised that his opinion was hastily
formed and that he had not maturely
considered the subject upon which he
was advising us.
We DO not believe the people of this
land ardently attached as they are to
our free institutions can be brought
to favor a policy which oppresses the
inhabitants of the territory owned by
, the United States anywhere and
over which tie flag of the repub-
lie floats, even If such a policy
should serve in a degree to enrich some
OF the citizens Of the United States.
We protest earnestly against the adop-
ton of robber policy which makes
this republic take the place of a ruth
less monarchy, Spain. in despoiling
Porto Rico. now portion Of the United
States.
We recommend that the pending
bill does not pass

GOVERNMENT FOR ALASKA.
Delegation at Washington Urging Ger
tain Changes Before the Gold Rush.

NEW YORK, Feb. S.-A special to
the Tribune from Washington says:
A large delegation from Alaska is
here urging congress to enact some leg
islation under which a government
may be organized in that territory as
soon as the rush to the gold fields be-
gins in the spring.
Among the delegates are Governor
John G. Brady; w. L. Distin, surveyor
general: VIM. A. Kelley, supervisor Of
the census; John NJ. Rice, who was ap-
pointed delegate by a mass conven-
tiOn Of miners; Richard f. Lewis, a
business man Of Juneau; Mr.. Wash
burn, manager of the Alaska CONNER
cial Company; Louis sloss, jr., a busi-
ness man from Skagway, and Father
Barnum, Roman Catholic missionary
who spent many years in Alaska, but
who is now librarian of the George
town university.
These men make requests for legisla-
ton that they claim is absolutely nee
essary for the protection Of the people
and the preservation Of the peace.
They ask for the establishment of
courts at St. Michael or Cape Nome,
at Eagle City and at Juneau or skag-
way. There is now only one court in
the territory and the people are COM
relied to go 1000 miles and often a
longer distance and to remain away
