County Commissioner. Having lived in this county nearly all my life and never having asked for, or held, a county office, I have taken this opportunity to offer myself as candidate for County Commissioner, subject to decision of the Republican County Convention. DELOS BURI-INGAME. Sizerville, Pa., Feb. 20. 18j.ni. WASHINGTON LETTER. tFrom our Regular Correspondent.) WASHINGTON, May Ist, 1899. Aguinaldo's supplication for peace came so close upon the dec- ! laratiou of President McKinley | that the revolt should be put down no matter how much money it cost, nor how many men it might re quire to convince even the most doubting that the Filipinos had been kept informed of everything done in this country, and have acted upon the information. Had they not received encouragement, j from this country, which caused them to believe that there was a possibility of our withdrawing from the islands, if they fought stubbornly enough, there would never have been any revolt. The action of ( Jen. Otis in telling the representatives of Aguinaldo that the only conditions under which he would stop fighting were to grant a general amnesty for an unconditional surrender, is so fully indorsed by the administration that no orders have been sent to him. It is felt that he has cor rectly sized up the situation and can bo left to deal with the Filipinos without further instruc tions. Besides, the other Ameri can Commissioners, who are fully acquainted with President Mc- Kinlev's wishes, are with him to aid in settling any questions that may arise. It is confidently ex pected that the Filipinos will, as -oon as they find that no better terms can be obtained, accept those offered by Gen. Otis; they are al ready fully convinced that nothing 'nit defeat for them lies in fighting our soldiers. \nd notwithstand ing their outsidt assistance, they are short of nearly all kinds of -applies. Spain lias authorized the French Embassador to receive and receipt tor the 000 due from this _overi>!;teiu, on account of the ireaty of peace, and the French Vmbas; ador has officially notified the Department of State and re ceived four drafts on New York for $5,000.<100 each as payment in full. The ltilsfc Indiana Volunteers, which lias just been mustered out of service, passed through Wash ington to-day on the way home. V committee of the Indiana iie publican Club met the regiment with a band, having previously arranged that the men should bo allowed to stop over a day and enjoy the siglit-seeing programme made for them. Secretary Gage has been offered a salary in the neighborhood of the one that tempted Speaker Reed (jut of public life, to become President of one of New York's big banks, but it is not likely that he will accept. He made a heavy finan cial sacrifice when he became Sec retary of the Treasury, and will probably continue in that office until March 4th, 1901, if no longer. There is little doubt that if he desires to remain in that position during President MeKinley's second term that the President will be pleased to have him do so. There is no man in the country better fitted by knowledge and ex perience to fill the arduous duties of Secretary of the Treasury than Mr. Gage. Never have the affairs of that great department of the Government moved smoother than since he has been at its head, and never has the credit of the nation been higher. This is high praise, but it is deserved. The friendly personal cable mes sages that have passed between the Emperor of Germany and Pres ident Mclvinley since the latter approved the application for the landing of the new German cable in the I'. S., have not pleased those who have been for months exag gerating every little occurrence, and manufacturing some, for the purpose of creating ill-will between i the people of the two countries, j but they have served to show the j world, as well as the people of the ; two countries, that the rulers of | Germany and of the r. S. have no idea of allowing the friendly rela- j lions between the two nations to be disturbed by sensation mongers. President MeKinley has the re port of the Military Court of In iniry, and will probably make it oubiic this week. The Quay Trial. The people of the State, as well | as Mr. Quay, are to l>e congratu lated on the outcome of the trial. —Pittsburg Times. The appointment of M. S. Quay to succeed himself caused a cold chill to run up the backs of the "insurgent" leaders. They await the next move with a great deal of j apprehension.-Shenandoah Herald. The acquittal of Senator Quay, I and his subsequent appointment as United States Senator is the be ginning of the vindication that will be finally and gloriously consum mated by the people of Pennsyl vania. —Chambersburg Repository. The establishment of a precedent by the admission of the appointee of the Governor in this instance i would serve a very excellent pur pose in teaching legislatures that j they must not be recreant to duty | and fail to fulfill the plain require i inents of the law. —Norristown ! Herald. It was a great legal battle, fought | by giants of the legal fraternity. I Every point was contested. Every j argument was made, livery pre j cedent and legal technicality was ! enlisted by one side or the other. ' The jury was guarded with care, j and the conduct of the court and i trial were most admirable. — Doylestown Intelligencer, j After another "greatest light of | his life'' Mr. Quay emerges from 1 the shadow of the courts completely ! vindicated of the numerous charges ! made against him by renegades of i his own party. Mr. Quay now j stands as usual, smiling at his | enemies and ready for a fresh start and another fight. "Keep your j eye on Quay."'—Bradford Record. Even the majority of those who J have been and are politically op ; posed to Mr. Quay will admit that j the trial throughout was a fair one J and that the case of the Coinmon ; wealth was handled with eonsum -1 mate ability. The judge who pre ; sided is an excellent lawyer, and it | surely cannot be said with truth I that his rulings were favorable to the defense. —Bethlehem Times. If this i.- not a complete vindica | tion of the accused it would be | dillieult to define what would con- I stitute such a vindication. But a still more speaking vindication in | the premises is that of the Repub- I lican party of Pennsylvania, and j this vindication finds its most | logical completion in the appoint j nient by Gov. Stone of Colonel Quay to the vacant seat in the United States Senate.—Beading Review. It was a foul conspiracy and failed ignominously, as all fail that ha ve as object the wreaking of j vengence and that are themselves i criminal. Senator Quay and his friends are glad that he lias had to 1 undergo the ordeal of a furnace I heated seventy times seven. They I are proud of (lie fact that the con fidence they have reposed in their j matchless leader was not misplaced i and that his escutcheon is neither i stained nor dishonored. Blairs | villi' Courier. Senator Quay was vindicated j twice in one day—once when the | jury set him free, stripped of the awful charges that were made against him, and the second time when the Governor of this great State appointed him to the United States Senate, an appointment to which he was justly entitled by all the rules of fairness and the will of the majority. The appointment j will be ratified at the polls.—Har risburg Telegraph. The suggestion of Senator Wil liam Flinn that Senator Quay shall be a candidate for State Treasurer j this year, was meant for sarcasm, but Senator Flinn should remember that once upon a time Senator Quay was a candidate for State Treasurer and was elected by the largest majority ever given a can didate for State Treasurer up to that time. If Senator Quay will accept the nomination for that | otfice this year, he can have it, and ! the people will see that he is given i a majority that will make the heads | of Flinn and all of the other in | surgents swim.—Harrisburg Tele graph. As stated in these columns when the prosecutions were brought, the motives which prompted the mov ers were not calculated to inspire public confidence. The fact that they were in possession of the documentary evidence months be fore the suits were instituted, that they were exhibited privately to those interested in the defeat of 1 Colonel Quay, that they had them | photographed and published on the ! eve of the election, so clearly in j dicated that their motives were ! personal and political, rather than | a desire to have a great wrong ; righted, that it created a sympathy for the accused which would not I have existed under different cir ien instances. The conduct of Judge i Gordon in the early stage of the proceedings were especially rcpre , hensible. Lancaster New Era. CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, MAY 4, 1899. Summer Tailoring.
