The stop-the-prosperity party is not going to make much headway at the ballot-box. Nevertheless and notwithstand ing. Mr. Towne is going to attempt the leap from Sioux Falls to Kan sas < 'ity without the aid of a spring board or net. If the people of the country are against expansion how is it that nobody can lie found to run for President on an anti-expansion policy platform. In declaring for the repeal of the Goebel law, the I lon. Joe Blackburn makes a vicious kick at the ladder which enabled him lo secure a re election to the United States Sen ate. Southern voters should remember that more new factories have sprung up in the South since the Dingley tariff became a law than were ever erected in that section for years previously. The American Bridge Company is one of the most recent trusts that has been formed. It already lias a competitor in the Structural Iron and Steel Company, which has just been incorporated at Baltimore. Perhaps Senator James K. .Jones, of Arkansas, chairman of the Dem ocratic National Committee, can enlighten the people as to the evil effects of trusts. He has for along time been a member of the cotton bale trust. Not all the Democrats who will attend the Kansas City convention will be ready to pledge themselves to favor the purchase of foreign ouilt ships for the upbuilding of an American merchant marine, instead of declaring in favor of American built ships. The value of every cow on the farm on the first day of this year was $31.(30. But on the lirst day of January, 1804. under Demo cratic administration, each cow was worth only 821.77. Farmers ap preciate the increase of $lO in the value of each of their cows, and will vote to maintain the Republi can administration in power. While all the appropriations made during the last session of Congress were §24,000,000 larger t!is; 11 in 1000, it should be remem bered that nine millions will be expended in taking the census and upwards of seventeen millions will be used lor improving the postal service, while another seven mil lion- will be spent in increasing our Navy. In other directions there has been an actual decrease in appropriations. WASHINGTON LETTER. (From our Regular Correspondent.) WASHINGTON, June zo, IHOO. President McKinley is gratified but not at all surprised at the com mendation he is receiving from all quarters for his promptness in or- I tiering troops to China to join with i I those of other civilized nations in ! | protecting the persons and property ! , of foreigners. Neither this gov- , , eminent nor any European govern- j i I ment considers itself at war with | ' China, but the Chinese government | 1 j having failed to protect foreigners I from the "boxers" the civilized j | governments are going to do it j ; themselves. Li Hung Chang has | '■ cabled to Secretary Hay, promising ! to restore peace and to see that all j - foreigners are protected, and the Chinese Minister to the S. has : received a cablegram saying that i all the foreign ministers at Pekin ; , are safe and well, but all that has 1 not stopped any of the preparations | for sending reinforcements to China ! from the Philippines just as quick j '| as they can be gotten there. The i , | Chinese Minister insists that there I can be no war between China and j the civilized nations, and that his j government has not sanctioned any ! of the fighting. Ml that he says \ may be strictly true, but the fact j j remains that there has been light- j | ing and that it is stillgoing on, and j | that one side is made up of soldiers j ' and marines belonging to the civil | izeil nations, and the other side of i i Chinese. The question of there- 1 j sponsibility of the Chinese govern- ; j ment may be determined later, but | j the first and foremost duty of the j t | civilized powers is to put a stop to ; | the lighting by whipping the Chin- j j ese lighters into submission, and j j President McKinley intends that j | the U. S. shall do its full share of | ' that duty. Director Merriam, of the Census j | Bureau, has given the press a state- j ment intended as an answer to ! thousands of letters asking for fig ures shown by the Census in vari ous localities. By showing the routine through which the returns from each enumerator's district | must go, the impossibility of giving j the information at this time was j made apparent. As fast as the of- ' ficial count is completed the totals | . will be bulletined at the census bureau, cities being taken first, j Notice has also been given that there will be no more examinations for j appointment to clerical positions in j the bureau, the eligible list already j I containing many more than will j ! ever receive appointments. The Treasury Department has 1 issued a circular creating Porto j , Rico, a Customs Collection District, | ! with San Juan as the port of entry, j | and Ponce, May ague/., Arecibo, ' Aguadilla, Ilumacao, Arroyo, and . I Fajardo as sub-ports, under the law , enacted at the late session of Con gress. Secretary Cage, who has been I ; ill for a couple of weeks has gone tot lie sea shore for a short rest by j the order of his physicians. There j is nothing serious the matter with ; him, only a little run down. Secretary Root has gone to his i summer home on Long Island, to j spend a few days with his family, j which is of itself an indication that j I there are no complications at the War Department in connection with the Chinese insurrection. Judge Denny, a prominent Ken tucky Republican, who firmly be lieves that the electoral vote of that state will be cast for McKinley and Roosevelt, who came through Washington on his way from the convention, said of that remarkable I gathering: "I have been going to | National Conventions for years, ! but I have never seen such a con- i I vention as that at Philadelphia, ] | and I never expect to see another | ; | such. I mean that 1 never before j | seen both men named on the ticket ! I by acclamation." j Mr. Henry C. Adams, one of the j ; Republican leaders of Indiana, as- 1 | sured President McKinley that In- 1 j diana was one of the sure Republi- | ! can states this year, and that the ' majority would be quite as large, j 1 if not larger than it was in".)(>. One of the most enthusiastic men ■ who lias been in Washington since j I the Republican convention wasMr. C. Lelaml, Jr., a member of the ! Kansas delegation. He says that President McKinley would have | carried Kansas no matter who had | been put on the ticket with him, I but that the nomination of Oov, Roosevelt for Vice President,makes j Kansas as certainly Republican as I Pennsylvania. I Mr. A. I). McPherson, of the Chicago Financial Review, who ' has just returned from a business ; trip through tlie South, said while j , in Washington: "While I do not 1 I mix politics in business, still 1 | could not help asking questions. | ' and I gathered from talks I had j I ! with men of all shades of opinion | . and polities that there is a big sur . prise in store for somebody this fall. I ' | The South is waking up. Pro tec- j ' ; tion and expansion find no wanner ! ' advocate than in the sunny land : i that we have long been taught was ' CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, JUNE 28, 1900. hopelessly j> i veil over to Democracy. ! In my humble opinion McKinley and Roosevelt will carry at least three Southern states. Congressional. Franklin Spectator: The Democrats of Warren county, who met in conven tion on Tuesday, appointed congres sional conferees, but did not instruct them. That was sensible, and clearly good politics. A few professed Demo crats in the district, backed by Repub lican money and brains, are trying to commit the party to a venal and suici dal future, but it's a foreordained fail ure. The Democratic party in the 27th is not a merchantable quantity. Sales may be made, but the dickers are not deliverable. The party demands to know for what and whom it is expected to vote. Franklin News: Mr. Emery is ex pected to return from California where he has spent the past two years for benefit of his health, early in July. He will then be waited upon by the com mittee of "independent" Republicans appointed by the Warren conference, headed by F.W. Hayes of Oil City, who will try and induce him to accept the Congressional nomination. It there fore behooves Mr. Emery to do consid erable thinking between now and that time, and until he declares himself, the Congressional campaign in this dis trict will remain in a state of quietude. Smethport Miner: Evidently the fusion program in this Congressional district is not working to the entire satisfaction of those concerned in the movement. The insurgent Republicans would like to be considered the "big toads in the puddle," in the work of of disintegration in the party ranks which they are using every means to accomplish. "But Mr. Emery under stands that his election depends upon getting the solid Democratic vote and he, of course, notifies a leading mem ber of that party that ho want 3 a nom ination. He wouldn't give a baubee as to how the nomination comes to him, whether through insurgent or Demo cratic channels, only that he is endors ed by the other gang in the combina tion. There are many Democrats in this district who are thirsting lor a coalition with Republican soreheads, and that fact will be more clearly dem onstrated at the election in November. EXCURSION NOTICES.

I have just returned from Alaska, and signed to-day with the Government to goon the U. S. Transport "Egbert." I have eight officers totakeeare of. It Is a pretty good job. Tho ship is a fine one with six bath rooms, a good doctor, good food and an electric fan in every room, also have on board an ice plant, which makes it comfortable in every particular. Do not worry about me, if you don't j hear from me for two months, as we i I carry supplies to the soldiers and bar- ! racks and expect to be four weeks at j Cape Nome. We make four ports, Port Egbert, Port Gibbon, St. Miehals i and Nome When we return she goes ; to Manila, but I do not know whether j or not I will goto that point. The last ! trip I made on the "City of Seattle" to Skagway, Harry Kaye was a passenger. 1 I have been there six times, and as 1 work is scarce men are glad to work j their wav down on the ship. We 1 brought the first people out from Daw son and they said the Canadian Gov- ! ernment was feeding 500 people to j keep them from starving. It, in my | travels, I find a place that is any good j I will stop there. When I get hack j i from Cape Nome, I will have been all j . over this coast and the greatest part of j Alaska. I may make one trip to Ma- I nila,then I think I will return home for j a while. I hope this will find you well, j as it leaves me pretty well. Write me at Seattle, and I will write you from Seattle, St. Miehals and Cape Nome. The first ship arrived this morning . from Nome, with two passengers on 1 board. Knowing nothing more of in terest to write you at present I will close, hoping you will all be well on 1 my return from the North, as I may goon home then. Good bye. Your Son, Wat.

EDITOR:—It is an open fact that a large number of boys in our town are drunk every Saturday. It is an equally open fact that while they do not get drunk at the saloons, they j have no trouble either in buying the ; intoxicants themselves, direct from j the dealers or in having older persons make the purchase for them. This practice has become such a j notorious violation of law and respect j for public decency that I will gladly j pay all costs of prosecuting either j dealers or individuals engaging in j ■ such malicious practices and pledge ' myself if any actual instances fall with in my own personal knowledge, I will | use my best endeavors to make an ex ample of the guilty parties. 1 The sale of intoxicants is legal, but the coaxing instigation and secret en couragement of drunkenness is an of -1 fence to our community that must be stopped and I am willing to do my I ; share to stop it.
