Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the disea-ed portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by consti- tutional remedies. Deafness 1s caused by an infjamed condition of the mucus lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hear- ing, 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 destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucus faces.

Day by Day It Is Being Made Plainer to the People—Porto Rico Case and In- creasing G. 0. P. Dilemma—The People Greatly Aroused—The Week’s Political Drift—People’s Party State Convention to Select National Delegates — State Points —Note and Comment of the Week. Reform Press Bureau, St. Paul, March 19, 1900. During the past week locally, as well as nationally, almost the sole topic has been Porto Rico, and the flood of light it has thrown upon Republican imperial- ism and subserviency to the : monopolis- tic influences. - That the G. O. P. goes marching on to both with banners fly- ing, and a weak president at the head of the column, the whole country can plainly see. . The unmasking of imperialism in its real essence, and in the fixing of which upon this country no man is more re- sponsible than Minnesota’s senior sena- tor, is make most clear by Louis F. Post in Chicago Public, commenting on Sen- ator Davis’ trimming and efforts to point a way out of the G. O. P. dilemma, Davis, says Public, has taken care to make it appear that his proposed free trade with Porto Rico is not that the Porto Ricans have gained any rights under our constitution, but in the strict interests of imperialism, ‘‘is a mere con- cession of imperial grace.’’ The object, says Public, would be obvious, if Davis did not declare it. He would have congress on Record that the Constitution has no force outside the Union except as con- gress declares it zpplicable. That effect- ed, the next step is that outside of such extensions of constitutional power made at will by congress, neither Porto Ricans nor Filipinos can receive constitutional | protection. The language of Senator Davis himself is: ‘‘My amendment ex- tends the Constitution over Porto Rico, and by so doing implies that it cannot be extended to the Philippines or other territories except by act of congress.” «At last,”’as Public well says,‘‘Amer- ican imperialism is unmasked.” Apropos, there are indications that a large element among state Republicans, is coming to the conclusion that the | Davis way is the best way out of their wilderness of dilemmas. It has been tce comment among prominent state R-publicans as they have come and gone | The idea seems | during the past to be that they find the charge of im- perialism in its mildest form, as here expressed, and in the language of one of the most prominent of such Republi- cans, they “are in the soup anyhow”’ on nitional questions, and that would be the least difficult to meet. And, speaking of Pepublicans, there are multiplying numbers of them up in arms against their <‘free trade,”’ 15 per } cent national leadership at Washington. Some of them do not care who knows how they feel. One such is ex-repre- sentative J. C. Fiynn of Little Falls, the Sixth district Republican wheel- horse, who informed the writer that he had never been much of an imperialist anyhow, and this new situation was more than he could stomach. And he said, ‘‘Have Bryan let the silver question alone and he will be elected.” And still another, is ex-City Health Physician Dr. Kelly of Minneapolis, who informs his friends openly that he is done with the imperialism party, And there are indeed others. And while the whole country is aroused at the Porto Rican imperialism, the congressional investigation into the militarism in the Idaho ‘‘bull pen”’ out- rages is developing little less destructive ammunition against the administration. It is the opinion of the great commoner, W. W. Erwin, that the Idaho militar- ism is alone sufficient to win the coming fight. And now that the British have about completed the destruction of the two re- publics in South Africa, when the con- test was prolonged to an impossibility that England would listen to a word of intervention, McKinley the First offers the good offices of this country to stop the fray. The United States could have saved the South African republics and not risked a man nor a dollar, the same that a just and honorable course toward the Filipinos would have saved a repub- lic to that liberty loving people, and saved us thousands of lives and multi- plied millions of dollars. And, speaking of the Philippines, re- cruits are now going forward to take | the places of the thousands wiped out there by disease and bullets, and the many more that are maniacs from the exposure and hardships of that equa- torial clime. Handcuffs for the latter and coffins for the increasing numbers of dead are the chief, in fact about the only present important items of ‘‘trade”’ with that portion of our ‘‘colonies.” The manner in which general busizess is opening this spring is shown by the last Chicago bank statement available. Comparing the weeks ending March 10 for 1899 and 1909, in every single in- stance 1900 is behind. In loans, the decrease is $7,650,000, and $6,200,090 in deposits, while the cash means is nearly $12,000,000 less; and while the clearings are nearly $5,000,000 less, the week’s balances are $3,000,009 behind. When it is considered that the natural increase of business under ord.nary conditions is large, this actual loss is emphasized. And speaking of business, there are indica ions t at te far east is getting a good elly ull of the present policy. Thus in the Minneapolis public library, the current issue of the Providence Rhode Island) Journal, contained ans ning like 80 notices of Soreclosure sales. Some very distinguished state Repub- cans are in danger of incurring the brand of “traitor” for their leaning to- wards the “antis.’”” One such is ex- Speaker Lee of Todd county, whose intimates assert that he is near to the revolt line. And they do say that the distin- guished chairman of the Republican state committee, Judge Steele, is a rank free trader on the Porto "ican question. However, the distinguished editor-in- chief of the Minneapolis Tribune, Major Shaw, is an out and out 15 per cent tariff man. Thus widely do the goppite wiseacres differ at this time. And speaking of the Minneapolis Tribune, one of its editorial staff, one of the ablest of its staff, Ralph W. Wheel- ock, has been called to South Dakota to take charge of the Republican press bureau that has been established to op- pose the rising tide in favor of Senator Pettigrew. Considering that Mr. Wheelock is known to his intimates as for Bryan, it is hard to see how he can be expected to get up much anti-Petti- grew steam. Emphasizing the interests in the re- form which the grain and warehouse commission is endeavoring to accom- plish in lowering rates in the south- western portion of the state, all the leading farmers of Blue Earth county have filed with the commission com- plaint of the rates in force on grain, which they claim are from 2 to 3 cents higher than they should be to corre- spond with other sections of the state. The people are thoroughly in earnest for this reform, and will heartily co-operate to secure it and approve those who labor to that end. During last week Judge Lochren of the federal court heard the suit of ex- County Attorney Frank M. Nye against the Western Union Telegraph company for $50,000 damages for carrying a tele- | gram, in the regular course of business, | in which the charge was made that Nye sold out, in the campaign of 1896, when he had been an ardent silverman. The defense brought out with considerable particularity, Mr. Nye’s ardent sup- port of the Bryan cause up to a certain moment when he turned tail land returned to the G. O. P. fold, and as to Mr. Nye’s reputation for polit- | ical integrity on that account. A feature was the giving to the jury of the speeches Mr. Nye made in the silver | cause, which at the time made him fa- mons all over the state. His part in in- | ducing John Lind to be the candidate that year was also detailed, with many other thrilling allusions to the historic campaign. ' | A New South Wales: cablegram says that the government has proclaimed St. | Patrick’s Day as a public holiday in honor of the Irish soldiers in South Africa. On which side? The Peoples party fires the first gun in the presidential campaign, in its convention to select delegates to Sioux Falls, which will meet at Minneapolis May 2, with every prospect, judging from the committee meeting, of a wise and harmonious action. Minnesota Populists aim at having a splendid dele- gation. We have received the following from |a political opponent of Governor Lind | residing in Anoka county, whois yet just enough to speak fairly of the state asylum, and thusin rebuke of those who for personal pique and spite have |abused the governor for his action in | that matter. The writer says: “If you could see how comfortable the state’s wards are housed end appear since brought here, and hear what I |have heard regarding their improved condition, you would feel like com- |mending Governor Lind’s course as I do, and I am sure I speak the senti- | ments of many, and they are not other- | wise of his political sentiments, either.’’ The terrible power of the corporations jon which the Republicans will ely in | the coming election, was well shown at | the anti-trust conference, in a report {made on the extent to which individuals | are employed by the corporations. This | report placed the large combines in the country at 600, with capita! stock, wat- ered and otherwise, of $10,000,000,000! This power will largely be at the com- mand of the trust party. Added to these are thousands on thousands of corporations, like those controlling transportation, with immense numbers of men in their employ. In fact the report referred to, estimated that fully one-half of all the labor employed by the non-agricultural interests are in such corporate employ! When fear is expressed as to the result it must be on but one assumption, to-wit, that Americans are to be bought, coerced or influenced, as they were in 1896. For one we do not fear it. But it isa jerrible power to comkat. * Speaking of imperialism and royalty, ex-Attorney General Moses E. Clapp is credited with calling attention to the fact that not all foreign titles have been gobbled up by aspiring as well as per- spiring Americans. There is, for in- stance, the title of Lord High Boot Jack to the Crownin England, not at present in much use. Authorities may differ as to its status, but General Clapp says the fact is thit the patrimony belonging to it ws wiped out; that at a time when the title was regarded so near the throne that it was ordered that the remains of the last duke be interred in West vinst-r, the expense, amounting to four millions, paralyzed the dukedom. Would it not be well for the Minnesota British Fed eration club to give the m2.ter atte :- tion? At last accounts Carver county’s Re- publican treasurer had no; squared p that little defalcatioa. At last accounts, however, Hennepin county’s Republican register of deeds had beenremoved from office for mulfeasance. These things are very very bad, for a great mora! party like the G. O. P.
