REPUBLICAN STAT.E TICKET. Judge of Supreme Court, J. HAY BROWN, Lancaster. Judge of Superior Court, JOSIAH R. ADAMS, Philadelphia. State Treasurer. LT.-COL. JAMES E. HARNETT, Washington County. "Wo differ in our political and religious beliefs, but we are united for country. Loyalty to the Gov ernment is our national creed, we follow —all of us—one flag. It symbolizes our purposes, our aspi rations; it represents what we be lieve and what we mean to main tain, and wherever it floats, it is the flag of the free and the hope of the oppressed, and wherever it is assailed, at any sacrifice it will be carried to a triumphant peace. * * * Rebellion may delay, but it can never defeat its blessed mission of liberty and humanity."—President McKinley at Catholic Summer School Grounds, Cham plain, N r . Y., August 15. "We know what American vic tory means. It means not to op press, not to tied on the necks of the fallen. I t means to lift them up, to place them upon their feet, and to do all that is in our power to extend comfort, civilization, happi ness and prosperity to all mankind. This war was brought under the dominion and protectorate of the Stars and Stripes many millions of our Catholic people, far removed, some of them, from the American continent, but we predict for them unhesitatingly that they will make American citizens as loyal, as sturdy and as true as those that are here to-day"—Father Lavelle in speech introducing President McKinley at Catholic School Grounds, Cliamplain, X. Y., Aug. 15th. _ The ticket is a good one. J. Hay Brown, for Supreme Court Judge. cannot be criticised. Josiali R. Adams, for Superior Court .Imige. is the choice of the Philadelphia delegation with the exception o! nine .Martin hench men, Colonel James E. liarnett is capable, honest and a true Repub lican, and as he has served his country in the battles around Manila, lie will as faithfully serve his State in the Treasury Depart ment. The platform is a model. It is for the gold standard, for ex pansion, for protection, for all the McKinley policies, for the intero ceanic canal and for the building up of the merchant marine. It is thoroughly a progressive platform, and its declaration for McKinley's renomination for President is in spiring and grand. Pennsylvania Republicans will move onto vic tory this year—and next. The platform indorsed the President's conduct of the war and the soldiers who have been fighting at the front, and yet there are Democrats and some Pennsylvania political insurgents who tell ns that the war is wrong and that they are go ing to make an issue out of it. We trust that all such will keep their eyes open and watch the re ception of the returning troops. The gallant Tenth Pennsylvania received a splendid ovation in San Francisco and would have receiv ed another in Omaha yesterday but for lack of time. The First Pennsylvania Regiment is going to Pittsburg to-day to welcome the boys when they arrive there to morrow. The western end of Pennsylvania is ablaze with en thusiasm, and the preparations for receiving them in Pittsburg are most elaborate. Omaha is prepar ing to greet her own Nebraska troops on Tuesday, while San Francisco has raised 800,000 to celebrate the return of the Cali fornia regiment. And yet, the war is not popular! Well, we rather think that the McKinley administration can meet the demo cratic party on that issue, just as it can on free silver and all other issues.—Pliila. Inquirer. Bucklen's Arnica Salve.

President McKinley lias signed a proclamation to the people of Cuba which will be made public in this country after it has been pub lished in Cuba, that will put an end to all of the silly talk about this Government not intending to allow the Cubans to have any say in the Government of that island. This proclammation tells the Cubans that the census ordered taken in Cuba, work upon which will shortly lie started and which it is hoped to have completed in ninety days, will be the first step towards an independent govern ment; that when the census is completed arrangements will be made for the holding of local elec tions throughout the island, in order to give its citizens an oppor tunity to show their capacity for self-government, and that as fast as the local authorities get their government in good working con dition, the U. S. troops will be withdrawn. Copies of this proc lammation have been forwarded to Gen. Brooke, at Havana, who is charged with the duty of having it widely published throughout the island. Secretary Root has arranged to goto Fort Hancock, and Sandy llook, N. Y., this week to witness tests of lield and mountain guns, under the supervision of the Board of Ordnance and Fortifications of the War Department. Secretary Root is such a strong believer in doing things, rather than talking of doing them, that lie doesn't per sonally furnish much "copy" for the newspaper men who swarm in the corridors of the War Depart ment every day; he has the knack, however, of declining to talk in so pleasant a way. that lie has made many admirers among the news paper men, to whom he has refused information about the plans of the War Department. Secretary Gage has received a highly gratifying report from the Auditor General of Hawaii, show ing the comparative imports into the islands for the months of June, 1898, the last under the Hawaiian regime, and June 1899. During the llrst named month, the imports from the F. S. were 8599,803 and from all other countries 8283,995, while in.l une of this year, the im ports from the F. S. were 81.412,- 058, and those from all other countries 8384,494. The total in crease in six months of imports from the F. S. was 83,01 ti. 1">1. The report also notes that while the government receipts in Hawaii have increased, the public expend itures have decreased. This sort of thing is likely to convince the most obstinate royalist taxpayer in Hawaii that under the protecting .wings of the American Eagle is a gootl place to live. There is a lesson for those who believe that America is behind Europe in medical science, or in anything else, in a cablegram re ceived several days ago by Surgeon General Sternberg, from the Direc tor General of the Array Medical Service of < ireat Britain. The cablegram asked that three hundred copies of a F. S. official publication entitled "Sanitary Lessons of the War" be sent for distribution among the medical officers of the British Army, and that if that number of copies could not be furn- I ished, permission be given tore- I print the pamphlet in London j This cablegram is proof of the i newspaper statement that England ! is preparing for war with the I Transvaal Republic, as well as very 1 CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, AUGUST 31, 1899. complimentary to the medical branch of our army. Sometime ago Gen. Milen recom mended that some of the regiments enlisted for the Philippines should he composed of colored men. be cause of their ability to stand the climate as well as of the reputa tion they have made as good all around lighters. Secretary Hoot thought so well of the recommend ation that he has ordered that one new regiment, just determined upon, shall be composed of colored men. Secretary Root says that unless something occurs to change present plans, Gen. Otis will have about sixty-four thousand men at his disposal before Christmas. No (late has been set for the re turn of President McKinley to Washington, but it is now known that he is going from Pitts burg to Ohio before resuming his official duties. It is probable that somewhere between the first and tenth of September will find him back at his desk, although there is a possibility that it may be later. Nothing important is being neg lected because of his absence from Washington. PROSPERITY AND POLITICS. What Four Years Hore of Republican Control Will Do. Prosperity has fairly congested our railroads, business having grown until there are not cars enough to do the carrying. There is one thing President McKinley may well congratulate himself upon, and that is the grand re demption of the promises of his campaign, that business should re vive with the return of the Repub lican party to power. One dys peptic organ of the other side re calls that in 1873 we had a panic, while the Republicans were in con trol. This is a fair specimen of mugwump reasoning and fairness. The exceptional conditions follow ing the war and our universal in flation of both currercy and busi ness are in all fairness to be con sidered in judging of the situation in 1873. But in the present case we had only to knock out the Democracy and its blundering in competency and restore what the Republicans had begun to achieve under the Harrison admin istration to set the wheels of indus try and commerce humming again, as they were in 1892. when the people, with such blind folly, were not content to let well enough alone, but must give Mr. Cleveland and a Democratic Congress a chance to monkey with the busi ness of the country. Those who were active in the campaign of 18 ( .»<; have a rare chance to boast of the soundness of their predictions that prosperity would follow the downfall of liryanism and the re-establishment of sound Republican economic and financial legislation. And yet there are thousands of voters in the country whose foil}' cannot be removed, though they were brayed in a mortar, and who will continue to follow their looney leader to the swamps of cheap money. And there are still a good many thou sands. equally looney devotees of Free-Trade, who would exchange prosperity for stagnation, for the sake of their notions as to what theoretically should be our policy, and squelch the rising of our new marine progress by a free-ship theory, which has never had a logical leg to stand on. Give us another four years' lease of Republican legislation and executive control, and the United States will lead the world without a contesting rival.—Lowell (Mass.) "Courier." Hasn't Time to Pay Taxes. The Pittsburg Times says the County Treasurers in "Western Pennsylvania reported an unprece dented rush of taxpayers to pay taxes, and the amount received up to August Ist exceeds the same last year by over $40,000. It pub lishes a letter from a mill-worker who tells the County Treasurer thusly: "Dear Sir:—Please send me a statement of my county taxes. They ought to have been paid long ago, but these Republican fellows have got the country in such pros perous condition that us men in shops can't get time hardly to eat. much less togo to the courthouse to pay little things like taxes. We have been building a mammoth plant and have just shipped it to Austria, and are now shipping an other and much greater to Hamm, in Germany, and have oceans of work for our own country, and are doing all right, and don't want any Bryan or any 1(5 to 1 or any other old thing—only just lots of work and good wages. That's what makes happy homes, happy wives, clean children and big red school houses in even ward, and the high school to add the finish, and what country on earth can compete with us, Selah!'' Will Not Hake Votes. For the present, and with the current rise of wages making the workingmen contented with their lot, it would not be possible to to rally a large part of the labor vote against the Tariff on the ground that it is the parent of trusts, even if that contention were true, which it is not. Mr. Have meyer is inadequate authority to quote on that side, in view of the fact that our worst trusts lie out side the range of Protected indus tries, and that these organizations have been shown by English writ ers to flourish in that country under Free-Trade 110 less than in America under Protection. But whether true or false, it will not make votes for the Democracy in the quarter where they most want them, and the party can make no greater mistake than to run after Mr. Hyvemeyer's red herring.— Robert Ellis Thompson, in the "Irish World."
