MeKinley's Alleged Views.

McKinley's Alleged Views.
NEW YORK, Feb. 17.-The World
tomorrow viii publish a summary of
q long statement made by President
Mckinley to Henry LOOMS Nelson, as
10 the American policy toward the
newly acquired islands. The article is
vOuched for as an authoritative inter-
probation of the Presidents views. Ac-
cording to Mr.. Nelson, lit Is Mr.. Nc
Kinley's belief, and II will be. his pur-
pose to carry the belief into operation.
that the Constitution does not apply
70 any OF our new islands; that those
people are not 1T for self-government
beyond that proposed for Hawaii; that
our new possessions must not be per-
mitted to injure any Of our projected
interests and that free trade with Porto
Rico Is right because our protected in
terests will not be interfered with
thereby.
The President believes that Con-
gress has plenary powers over Hawaii,
Porto Rico and the Philippines.
He holds that Congress may pass
one tariff law for Porto Rico, another
for Hawaii. another for the Philippines
and that all may be different from that
Of the United States.
1T does not appear likely TO his
mind that any question can ever arise
as to the civil rights of these places.
"Mr. McKinley's attitude then, to-
ward the natives is benevolent. He
desires to elevate them, to educate
them. and he hopes that in the end
they will become worthy of being in
trusted with local self-government. He
does not think any of these worthy
now, except the few in Hawaii upon
whom it is intended to bestOw the suf-
frage-a few more than possessed the
suffrage under the Dole government.
"Mr. Mckinley holds that the Con-
stitutioD only applies TO a territory
when it is set up by a treaty ~ by
Legislation. Upon this point there are
authorities in his favor, but he goes
beyond the authorities and holds that
Congress is not bound by the hmita-
tons OF the Constitution when ii en-
tiers upon the task of legislating, /. e.,
| II may refuse to the natives and to the
American citizens who may go to our
colonies the right of trial by jury, the
right of Fl &c speech, the right to bear
arms, the r. hit of peaceable assem-
blaBe a.! .eIIllOu, ITttuOn lIOu uh-
warranta'l arrest, freedom from
search. those rights which the Con-
sritution guards jealousy.
But the main purpose of the Presi-
dent is 70 deal with the Islands 2s mar
kets for American products and as the
subjects of commercial exploitation
generally.
THE President is a thorough believ-
er IN the moral and intellectual value
of commerce and he proceeds on the
theory that when a nation is doing
well as a buyer and seller IL is pre-
sumptively we'll governed and its peo-
pie are morally sound.
re looks forward to benefting the
natives by expanding the blessings of
Protestant Christianity and civiliza-
tion r. means OF commerce"

A PERFECT SoMERSAULT.

A large number of people, who happened near the Court House Saturday afternoon, witnessed 8 somersault that Humpty Dumpty himself couldn't surpass in perfec- ton. It was the most perfect back ward leap that they had ever seen and was very comical in the ex xtreme. A negro was riding a horse and ac- cidently struck it's side against 8 Lail on a telegraph post. The anil nal bucbed and the negro leapeu skyward and dropped back wards on his cranium. The horse dashed wildly away and the negro, who did not seem stunned, followed in pur' suit.

FREE TO EVERYBODY.

The microscope and chemical analy-
sis have proved beyond the question Of
doubt the presence of disease germs
In the blood, differing in shape and
appearance, according to the nature of
the disease. Anything relating To
their presence, or better still, their
removal is consequently Of interest TO
our readers and we therefore call at
tention to a very interesting little
book, recently published by NJ. r.
Zaegel & Company, in which the au-
thor clearly demonstrates the cause
of these little enemies of mankind, and
gives a practical home treatment by
which, without impairing the health OF
the smallest child, they can be re-
moved from the system. AS this book
let will be mailed free to any reader
OF this paper, together with a free
sample of enough roots and herbs for
TWO weeks home treatment, we advise
all to make application at once by
writing to NJ. r. Zaegel & Co, P. o. Box
81, Sheboygan, Wis, enclosing in their
letter one two-cent stamp to pay the
postage on the free sample. Following
the rules of health laid down in this
book, and using the roots and herbs
as directed, means the eradication OF
disease germs from the blood, the
presence of which cause rheumatism,
headache, stomach, liver, kidney aad
bowel complaints.
