CONCLUDED STOMACH TROUBLE WAS
IKCURABLE.

Mr.. Herbert Hoyt, a. carpenter, thir-
ty-nine years of age, living at 523
Greenwich street, Philadelphia, writes:
For the past nine years 1 have been
troubled with my stomach, but for the
last three years i, has been exceed
ingly bad. 1 have been under treat
ment from several physicians, but re-
ceived no beneficial results. After
trying so many remedies and spending
so much money I got discouraged and
gave up all hope, and came to the
conclusion that stomach trouble was
incurable, and the only relief that I
could get was pinch of baking soda
and warm water. My distressing feel
ings almost set me deranged, but /
came in contact with Ripans Tabules.
which have changed my life to almost
a paradise. 1 often think if l only
had half of the money in Ripans Tab-
ules that I have spent in other rem
edles, l would be assured of good
health for life. You are at liberty to
use this testimonial and I hope 9TH
ers may be enlightened, and 1 heart
lily extend my thanks to you for ever
putting before the public such a won
derful remedy as Ripans Tabules."
With constipation always comes a
train
OF other ills to cause a mortal pain.
But all can be defied by those who
take
A Ripans Tabule for the stomach's
sake.
There is scarcely any condition of i'll health
that is net benefited by tho occasional use of S
R.lP-A;N.S Tabule, and tbs price, 10 for
cents. does not bar them from any home or
Justify anyone in enduring ills that are easily
cured. Fer sals by al druggists.

Shipping Notes.

1t is thought that the repairs nee
sessary to be made to the schooner
Twilight would cost more than the
vessel is worth. The board of survey
has not yet handed in its report con-
corning the condition of the craft, but
has about decided. that she should be
condemned, and unless her owners arr
willing to make the necessary repair
it is likely that the vessel will be solo.
The tug Fearlessycame off the marine
railway yesterday morning. She pulled
the Hongkong Maru away from the
Pacific Mail wharf at 10 o'clock, then
took the barkentine John Smith to sea,
afterwards helping the Zealandia away
from the Oceanic wharf and pulling
the Sonema out into the stream so that
she could head her nose to sea and get
away for the Colonies.
The ship Florence sails for the Sound
in ballast tomorrow.

ed, but the fact exists, nevertheless,
that the alarmists see cause of fear
and may be depended upon to exploit
to the extent of their ability the adj
vantage they may have gained by rea-
son of the decision. 1t should not be
forgotten that u relations with the
natives Of the Philippines have taught
us that although they may have some
of the characteristic of the other
races of the Orient, in many respects
they are superior and not so bound
by custom, religion, prejudices and
traditions as to refuse utterly to be-
come assimilated with those of other
n~ationalities. They are quick to see
the advantages possessed by the new
| class of Europeans with whom they
have come in contact since Span
ish dominion of the islands ceased
and equally quick to avail themselves
of the benefits that come from the
adoption of the methods and thoughts
of the Americans. This holds out the
hope and is aus of belief that in
the event any large numbers of them
decide to emigrate to the United
States it will be only a short time at
ter their arrival until they shall
become as greatly Americanized in
every respect as do the foreigners who
come to these shores from European
countries. Instead Of being a menace
and a danger, as many now pretend to
believe they will prove, it may turn
out that their immigration will be a
benefit not only to themselves, but to
the entire country by supplying a
class of people and an element OF
labor peculiarly adapted to the ever
changing conditions through which we
are constantly passing.
New legislation in regard to u
commercial relations with the islands
now becomes imperative. While it is,
perhaps, to be deplored that the old
order of things could not have gone
on for a time longer, the country has
the satisfaction of knowing that there
are at Washington in both branches
of congress upright, patriotic, con-
scientious and able men who will see
that no law is enacted that may prove
i'll advised or injurious to either sideof
the question. A republican admins
tration, backed by a republican con-
gress may be relied upon to do the
right thing at the right time.

NEW MINER.

The Butte Miner has at last appear
ed in it's new and enlarged form and
is really a credit to the newspaper
world of the west. AS such it will no
doubt gain in Importance and infu-
ence and probably give it's contem-
porary of the Deer Lodge valley a
close race for favorswith their demo-
cratic constituency of the state. The
threat, however, of intention to pub
fish simultaneously with the yellow
journals owned by Hearst Of the non
sensical colored supplements that
form a feature of those lurid publica-
tions is likely to destroy what good
impression it may have already made
on the public. The staid, old Miner,
emintently respectable and dignifed
as it has always been, blossoming out
as a replica Of the Hearst sheets will
prove a shock to those who have been
reading it for years, and the shades
of good men who in years gone by
furnished gray matter for it's columns
will stop in their flights through the
blue ethereal and wonder that such
things can be-. All the same, The Ga
zette wishes it prosperity and sue
cess and hopes that the rash inten-
lions it now entertains may not prove
fruitful of bad results.

SUPREME COURT OPINION,

In the opinion of the United States
supreme court the constitution fol
lows the flag, regardless of any reso-
lutions the senate may pass to the con.
trary. In other words, the court holds
that when the treaty of Paris was
signed the Philippines ceased to be
foreign territory in every respect and
that the islands must be regarded as
forming a part of the United States
when it comes to the mater of trade
between the two.
This in effect is the portent of the
decision in the celebrated Fourteen
Diamond Rings" case, delivered by
the court last Tuesday. BY the de,
cision the government is enjoined
from levying any import taxes upon
products of the islands brought into
this country. Following to it's logical
conclusion the line of reasoning adopt
ed by the court, it becomes very evil
dent that the government is also de-
prived of the power of exacting duties
upon imports into the islands from
this country and that trade between
the two divisions must be free and
unhampered by any customs, the same
as is interstate trade. If this con
clusion is right then Spain will come
in for a large share of benefits, for
under the treaty of peace made with
that nation it is to enjoy the same
trade privileges in the archipelago as
are enjoyed by this country-that is
for a limited time.
One phase OF the relations between
this country and the islands which
has been brought about by the deci-
sion which remains to be considered
is, perhaps, of even greater import
ance than the subject matter directly
treated of in the opinion. This is the
probable effect the decision will have
on the status of the natives of the
islands as to their right to become res
idents of this country without let or
hindrance as far as the law may be

theirs, and it now looks very much
as if it is, then an element of future
trouble has been formed which may
be found as difficult to overcome as
some of the others which have arisen
since we acquired possession Of the
islands. The same racial problem
which resulted in the enactment of
laws to bar Chinese from our shores
apparently now confronts us, but with
the disadvantage to us that we may
not be able to pass laws restricting
immigration from the Philippines, as
we have done in regard Of the Chi
namen.
OF course, the danger from unre-
stricted immigration of the Filipinos
which many all along have professed
to see in the event of some such de
cision as the one under consideration
! may not be so great as has been claim

WISE AND TIMELY,

1t is the opinion of The Gazette that
The county commissioners acted wise
~ and we'll in the selection they have
made for a new court house site. In
purchasing the property which by
deed reverts to the county they show
ed due appreciation of the future
needs of the community, while the
manner in which they went about to
secure the land is also to their credit.
BY operating quietly through a third
party they were enabled to obtain
the site at it's fair value, something
that could not have been done had
their purpose been advertised and
made public to the world. Had it been
permitted to be known that the coun-
ty desired the lots selected prices
would have been set on them which
would have rendered their acuuisi-
ton impossible. The site is one of
the most eligible that could well have
