such was the decision OF the United
States supreme court on Monday, in the
DeLima case involving the importation
of goods from Porto Rico after toe ratl-
fication of the treaty of Paris and before
the passage by congress Of the Porto
Rician act. Justice Brown giving the
majority opinion Of the court, declared
tina. Porto Rico became domestic terri
tory the moment it was coded 10 the
United States, and the collections OF
duties on imports from Porto Rico since
acquisition is illegal 1t is decided,
how ever, that Porto Rico is subject 60
the authority of congress, which may
levy a tariff on the Islands products.
Therefore, the decision is virtually In

A spOndent From Riverdale Airs
His Opinions.

RIvERDAIE, MICH, May p, 1901.
EDITOR RECORD -
Kindly give space in your valuable
journal for few words concerning the
total disregard in this village Of the law
regulating the sale of Intoxicating
liquors
We do not know whether the fact
that Seville has never given a Republi-
can majority has anything TO do with
the case, but there is evidently some
reason why our Republican county Off.
cials who are so efficient in other por
lions of Gratiot, do not care in the east
how openly this law is violated here
Because these officials can not look
for much support, politically, III this
township, is no reason why we should
not receive as much benefit from the
government of which as citizens we are
part and which as taxpayers We help
support, as residents in other townships
of the county
The condition of affairs prevailing
here now may have met with approval
30 years ago during the palmy lumber
ing days, but the world has made prog
ress during this period, in morality as
well as in material things
A younger generation is coming up
and the degree Of success that these
young men and women Will attain in
the future, depends upon the training
they receive nov. II brought mp in an
atmosphere of immortality, in sight and
sound of gross violation of all moral
principles, can we expect them to be-
come leaders in the various pursuits they
choose TO follow. Rather may We look
to see them law breakers at an early age
ruined through the power of example
Nor would 1t be a difficult matter 10
nX the responsibility fer their downfall
Cpon no one else would it rest except
those officials who solemnly took oath
that they would uphold the law and
preserve the honor and integrity of their
county
More especially upon prosecuting
attorney, who, though knowing well the
circumstances of the case, chooses TO
drowsily drift through his term of office
rather that 70 exert himself enough to
do his duty.
Several of the larger cities have recent
ly been well shaken mp much 10 the dis
comtture of the underworld " but %
the satisfaction Of the other element 4
similar awakening could result in moth.
ing else but benefit q our own com
mumty.
The writer is rot a Temperance
crank, for he has often advocated the
open saloon in preference to the "hole
in the wall " All he asks is that our
county officers come out of their slumb-
ers ana extend their protecting wings"
over our town as well "a others. He is
a firm believer in the Republican prin-
ciple of protection but especially does
he believe that at the hands of their
party and no other may he expect the
kind of protection which guards we'll
the home and thus helps the sons and
daughters to grow up into respected and
virtuOus men and women. And il is
from the present regime of Republican
officials that he demands this protection.
Is he to be disappointed:
A CONSISTENT REPUBLICAN.

this gas again contracts &ad is convert
ed into suns like our own. with probably
trains of attendant planets.
The celestial object upon which Prof.
Ritchey has made his Investigations Il
the mysterious star. Nova of Perssus,
which suddenly appeared last February
in the northern sky. blazing with strange
light in 4 place where therv had been no
star before. Its light rapidly increased
until it became 4 star Of the first mag
nitude. Then It gradually faded away
until now it Is only Of the sixteenth mag
nitude. At present it is altogether IN
visible to the unaided vision. and It II
continues to diminish in brilliancy It will
soon be invisible even in the great
Yerkes telescope-the most powerful in
the world-through which no star below
the seventeenth magnitude can be seen
To account for the appearance OF this
body, Professor Ritchev settled upon the
theory that the new light had been caused
by a tremendous explosion proportion
ate in size to the size Of the star. The
correctness of this belief has been
proven.
On the night of September 20, Pro-
lessor R,tchey photographed Nova oi
Perseus by means Of the twenty fou'
inch reflector at the osse,v ltoIy. The
negative disclosed the fact that the star
was surrounded by = nebula-a fact
which had been previously shown by
another observer. But on the plate
made by Professor Ri,ehey there were
two fairly dense wisps of nebulosity to
ward the west With curve to the north
merging into the convolutions OF the
nebula. This was startling fact. bu
Professor Ritchey patiently waited to'
favorite night TO secure another
negative. The looked for oppor,unit,
came last Wednesday night.
When he looked at the negative fact
appeared in which he at once recognized
the proof so long sought and 50 ardentl,
wished for by observers everywhere
The spots of density in the west field ol
the nebula had moved.
The conclusions which follow from
this discovery are stupendous. They
lead to the positive knowledge that ii
the vast gulf. of space nature is slovl,
molding suns and planets and solal
systems and star clusters, that nebulae
are converted into suns and suns in'c
nebulae: that catastrophes involving nm
thinkable quantities Of matter are BY nc
means rare IN the infinite womb of space
and that out Of the chaos and confusion
thus produced order and symmetr!
emerge after ages Of evolution.
