W0BBLING ON THE IsTHMIAN
CANAL.

In the delicate task of framing
the Constitution it was intended
that the presidential approval
should be given to legislative
measure only after it had passed
congress, but under the new order
of things we have changed all that.
An imperialist president, like the
Biblical man in authority says to
this bill come" ;" and it cometh, and
to that one stop" and it stops.
Acting under this rule President
Mckinley has kindly consented to
allow the Nicaragua Canal bill to
be reported, but in an amended
shape unrecognizable alike to its
friends and its enemies. The build
ing of the canal is made a purely
presidential function, fully as much
under executive control as the
maintenance of the White House
conservatory or the government OF
our colonies. But while the
amendment alters the obnoxious
clause which gave the Secretary of
War authority to defend" the ca
nal and to construct such fortif-
cations for defense as shall be re-
quired," it substitutes therefor au
thority to "protect" the canal and
to make "such provisions for de-
Tense as may be necessary"
The moral of this amendment,
like that of the observations of
Capt. Jack Bunsby, 'lies in the APP
piication of it." It is obviously
meant to bear a double construc-
ton, and to reconcile the Hay
Pauncefote treaty with the demand
of strenuous jingoism, with the
chances that it will please neither
While it is as feeble a compromise
as cowardice could suggest, it rep
resents the inevitable result of at.
tempting to harmonic an imperial
policy with a chocolate-eClair back
bone.-New York World.

Now comes David B. Hill, who
has boen sulking his tent for several
years because the democrats did
not discover in him "Moses" and
select him to lead the party, and
throws himself in the fight again,
but wants to construct the demo-
cratic platform, Here is what
David thinks about it: "Why keep
on shouting 16 to | when the Sen
ate is Republican tor six years at
least and the possibility of the re-
alization of that ratio is out of the
question: Why abuse and insult
the men who did not agree with
MIR. Bryan in 1862 They are good
Democrats. Why not do little
platform making for that class of
men as well as the large mass of
men who vote the Democratic ticket
anyhow, who have no where else on
Gods earth to go? Isn't that the
good politics of the situation2"

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 constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube,
When this tube gets infamed you have a
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 de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by catarrh, which IS nothing but
an inflamed condition of the mucous sur
faces.

Hons. D. L. King, Sam R. Chew

Attorney-General of the State Ark

King Out of the Race

Now that Hon. D. L. King is out
of the race for Attorney General
of Arkansas, the Miller county del
egatiOn which will attend the State
Convention at Little Rock, will be
called upon to take up some candi
date for the Office to vote for, and
as Mr.. Murphy is recognized as
standing at the head of the Arkan-
sas bar, and a man worthy of any
trust imposed upon him, we think
the Miller county delegation should
vote for him. Mr.. Murphy has the
support of the bar at this place,
and he would have undoubtedly
carried the county had it not been
that the Miller county democracy
was never known to go back on a
home man. We hope the delega,
tion from here will carry out the
bequest in Mr.. Kings will and de-
liver his goods to the gentleman
whom he makes his beneficiary,

that the ship subsidy bill must be
