Tho total gross earnings of railroads wero §238,000,000 larger last year than in 1895. i + Sheep are worth more than twice as much this year in Utah as they were worth in 1895. + + Every corn-fed steer in Nebraska is now worth §l2 to §l6 more than in 1896. Farmers in that State will hardly vote for Democratic times again. t t The American claim to unrestricted facilities of trade in China was based on treaty rights, which were about to be ignored when our claim was made and secured. + t President McKinley urged that the duties to be levied under the Dingley tariff should "revive and increase man ufacturers." This has been done, as our wage-earners well know. Tho carrying of our vastly increased foreign commerce benefits only foreign vessels, to which the American people pay over $200,C00,000 each year in freight alone. Under the operation of the Wilson free trade tariff for revenue only, there was a deficit of £108,000,000 in thirty five months. Under the Dingley tariff for protection there was a surplus oi £46,000,000 iu thirty-two months, t t Under this Administration, our farm ers, merchants and manufacturers have been assured that the markets of China would be always open to them in equal competition with other nations. t t There is another kind who always pays when you present the bill, be it one or five years' subscription. You must go after it but it is always waiting for you. t i There some who pay on the street, never take a receipt, leaving it to the editor's honesty to give him proper credit. This man doesn't know ex actly when his paper does expire, but ho is good pay just the same. + + The increase in the foreign trade of the United States during the fiscal year just closed, as compared with the pre vious year, will probably aggregate over three hundred millions of dollars —by far the greatest in our history— and yet the proportion of our trade carried in American vessels was the lowest of any previous year. t t Nebraska hogs sold in Omaha, May 31st, at $4.50 per head more than on the same date four years ago, yetthe World- Herald, Mr. Bryan's; personal organ, which is published in Omaha, asserted very vigorously during the 1896 cam paign that the prices of no farm pro ducts could advance without the free and unlimited coinage of silver. Since the 4th of March, 1897, Congress has authorized the construction of for ty-nine ships, with a total displacement of 245,484 tons. This includes eight battleships of the first class; six armored cruisers of the first class; four monitors and nine protected cruisers. There have been completed and placed in commission, in the same time, a total of thirty-two vessels, with an aggregate displacement of 52,681 tons. This is an unexampled record, and it could only have been accomplished by a Republi can Adminiatration. Hon. Len . Taggart, of Emporium, in j an open leytte" 1 to the Independent of that place Hist week, criticises an article J which recently appeared in this paper in reference to the Congressional con ference of fourteen years ago, when McKean ;tnd Cameron counties were connecte I with Potter, Tioga, Lycom ing and Bulliran in a Congressional district. We took the position in the article referred to. that Mr. Emery, McKean lounty's delegate, insisted up on the nomination from the beginning of the con ference to the end and objected to his cor.ferees voting for any other candidate | if there was the ghost of a chance for the nomination of that can didate. !n response to that statement Mr. Taggart says:"The facts in the case are that Hon. L. Emery, Jr., offered to end the contest by nominating Jos. Cochran on the first ballot at the time the convention convened in Emporium, and this offer remained open to the Judge until the end of the convention." Mr. Taggart adds to his signature the words, "conferee of above referred to convention." The editor of the MINER was not a conferee in that convention and he must depend largely upon those who were and the files of this paper, for data in reference to it. One fact has recently come to his knowledge and that is that Mr. Cochran's candidacy was in the interest of Hon. Clay Me- Cormick, the Lycoming candidate, that Mr. Cochran had no more Idea of rep resenting this district in Congress than ■ he had of representing this country at the Court of St. James. Mr. Emery j knew perfectly well and so did his con ; ferees, that the voting now and then lor j Cochran was altogether perfunctory I and cut no figure in the nomination of i a congressman. Mr. Taggart is one of tho lew men, professing to be Republicans, who met in Warren recently and nominated Mr. Emery for Congress. They represented no party and very few people. Their stock in trade is to overthrow the reg ular Republican organization of the 27th district. They will find when the votes are counted in November that there are less sore-heads in the district than they counted on and that their efforts have proven an ignominious failure.— McKean Miner. Jolly Fourth Pic-nic. The Fourth of July pic-nic held on the grounds of the Three Mile School house was a complete success. The grounds had been prepared by the committee and shade trees were placed around the tables. The tables, seats and platform were putin readi ness for the guests. At about nine o'clock jolly parties began to arrive. Mrs. Llewella Moore had kindly loaned her organ for tho occasion and at inter vals during the day all were enter tained with choice selections by Miss Alice Lewis. About the noon hour the good things which were hidden in baskets, etc., were placed on the tables and over a hundred persons feasted on the abund ance of luxurious eatables Those present from abroad were: Mr. and Mrs. I. H. Leggett and grand daughter, Messrs. Claude Lyons and Willis Gaskill, of West Creek; Mr. and Mrs. M. E. Taylor and children, Mrs. Swartwood, Miss Carrie Swart wood, Mrs. Pearl Hopple, Messrs.

Many selections were rendered. Music was furnished by a quartette composed of Mrs. Llew ella Moore, Miss Alice Lewis, Messrs. D. N. Chandler and Chas. Chadwick, Mrs. D. N. Chandler presiding at the organ. Mr. Chandler and Mr. Chad wick each rendered a solo, delighting their hearers. The songs all being patriotic received much applause. The young ladies decorated with the na tional colors looked charming. The company in search of more amusement then retired to the dam, a half mile distant, to witness the tub races, etc. After an hourof enjoyment at this point the party returned to the grounds where the remainder of the day was spent amusing the children at the swing and in games. When even ing came the company dispersed for their respective homes, with expres sions of satisfaction with their outing. OBSERVER, AII Epidemic of Diarrhoea. Mr. A.

DKAH ONKS ALL:— I'm writing this under difficulties, using for a writing desk a piece of wood, in our tent, by 11 ! o'clock p. II). 81111 light. Sun goes down at 11:30 p. m.and up again at 1:30 a. m. There is 110 night here at this time of year. This is a great sight, there being thirty to forty thousand peo ple camping right here and more boats coming in every day. There isalsoaboutthirty to tbirty flve thousand discouraged people. Hundreds of them are going back on the same boats they came on. The last three days there has been six suicides and yesterday two murders occured up in town. I guess people coming here must have had the erroneous idea that they could pick up gold on the streets. We are not in the least discouraged yet. Alter we give it a month's trial and find nothing, then we may commence to feel blue. The last four days we have been building a boat and now have her finished and will pull out of here tomorrow night. We expect togo up the beach towards York anywhere from twenty to sixty miles. No doubt there is lots of gold here, but think most of the best has been taken. If we find a good place on the beach we will pitch our tent and work it. I have had a frightful cold, but am get ting better now. I can tell you, though, this is a hard, a very hard proposition; one has to work like a horse, but it will be easier when we get our boat to carry our "stulf" in. Things are very cheap here; 2'> cto wink your eye, cup of coffee and sandwich one big dollar. We are independ ent of the robbers, as we have two months' pro visions. We did, however, buy some bread and a few eggs; eggs are only SI.OO a doz. For supper we had fried potatoes, bacou and eggs, bread and butter and coffee. We brought 10 pounds of butter with us from Seattle and it's immense. Amos Fenton is putting some finish ing touches on the boat while I am boiling some beans. We have a fine stove, burns wood or oil; but we have been burning wood since here; there has been plenty of driftwood but it's getting scarce now. I went two miles to get a load today. 011 is SI.OO a gallon. The price of things is bound to come down, as they are unloading tons upou tons of freight here. The lumber for our boat cost $20.00; could get the same in Emporium for about +1.50. We had a man help us one day with our boat.lie only charged $1.50 per hour. Many people are dis couraged, as they came here to work, and there is no work to be done except for carpenters. I am going to bed soon and I suppose you are thinking of getting up as it is G a. m., there now. The weather here is not bad. It lias rained two days since we lauded; the other days the sun has been shining, but the wind is cold. I wonder if father's garden is as nice as the one I had last year. How is Master Lloyd and all the children? How I would like to drop in and see you all. Remember me to Major Jessop. With love to all. How is the League coming on'.' Well, we are off tomorrow for the yellow stuff. Good night, W. P. LLOYD. Nome City, Alaska, June 20, I90». Letter from N. Seger. EDITOR OF PRESS:— I promised to write you and will do so now. I arrived at Paris, June 22d, ou Steamer "Pretoria," via Cherbourg. This is a handsome boat, being 585 feet long, sixty feet wide. There were 350 first-class, 120 second-class and about one thou sand storage passengers on board, also heavily loaded with freight and a large number of horses. A Buffalo shipped for Paris died on the ocean. The fare on board was good. The last evening before landing all passengers assembled in the dining room. When all were seated the electric lights were shut off until the waiters, sixty in number, appeared in the dining room carrying ice cream when the fancy electric lights were Hashed on the large gathering. It was a beauti ful sight. I have seen some of the Exposition, will see more to-day and to-morrow. I leave here in a couple of days for Germany, to visit my old home and will return to Paris again, I shall be glad to get home again—there is no place like home. I will return to United States as soon as the notion strikes me. Am well and enjoying myself, only there is too much French to under stand when you can't talk it. Respectfully, N. SEGER.

('HAH. I toss, Buck waiter, Pa. DEAR AUNT:— Your request through Bro. Ed, for a letter has reached me and 1 will try to com ply with the esteemed request. It is a hard mat ter to find a subject of interest to you, but one which I think will most likely interest you is that of our trip, which I will briefly outline, from home to Manila, with a few sights en route, and a short sketch of Army life. Also describe its people, customs, fruits and climate. I left home Aug. Ith, enlisted at Williamsport Aug. sth, 1899, was sent to Harrisburg, then to Columbia Barracks, Columbus, Ohio, and stop ped there nearly two weeks and then went across continent to the Presidio Barracks, San Francisco* Cal., and was there long enough to explore the world-famous city with its China town. It's a sight worth seeing but far behind some I have since seen. On Sept. 2d we went on board the U. S. army transport "Warren." We left on Sept. 3d at 1 o'clock, a. in., and my first awakening on board a ship was out on the briny ocean thirty miles from land, thus leaving my home, my na tive land while asleep and unconscious of my surroundings. For nineteen days and nights the good ship went 011 her way without a sight ol land, two days in a terrible storm. On the 22d land was sighted and Sept. 23(1 we were lying in the beau tiful harbor of Yokohoma, Japan, where we were anchored two days loading coal, during which time I spent running around on shore. One day I went out to the Capital of Japan, Tokio or Yeddo, eighteen miles journey, or two hours ride 011 a cute little railroad running from Yokohoma to Yeddo then to Nagasaki on the west coast, the only railroad in Japan. The Capitol is a city of over a million people, built 011 the tops of seventy hills. Its one-story, thatched roof buildings look, at a distance, like a lield of toad stools; the fifteen hundred church steeples look like so many straws sticking up through the toad stools. This was my first impression of Japan's Capital. They are queer people, small, but very active on their feet. One thing particularly noticeable in Japan is that there are never any beggars. The women running around look like little girls and wear their hair neatly done up in a knot on top of their heads. Japan is exquisitely beautiful in its en tirety. Green fields of rice and tea, and flowers everywhere. We left Japan after passing through the inland sea and stopping at Nagasaki and proceeded on to Manila, arriving there on Oct. 5, 1899, at 11 p. m., and our first night's sleep 011 Manila soil was on the "real thing"—the ground. On the 6th we were martialed out of the walled city and divided into companies. I joined the artillery, and on the 7th of Oct. was sent forty miles north by rail, to San Fernando where my battery was stationed. 011 the 10th we marched north, passing through Mexico, Santa Anna, and had a fight at Arayat ! on the 12th, another at San Isidro on the 19th, and at Santa Rosa on the 29th. Bullets whistled close and I had many narrow escapes. We kept on the northern march, fighting our way until we reached Began and Lewog, the latter town is at the norte-west end of the island over 200 miles i from Manila. We marched over .100 miles all through the rainy season with mud and water nearly waist deep all the time. There we stayed until the Ist of January when we marched back to Dagupan and there took the train for Manila, arriving on Jan. 3d, 1900. Here we received our pay and on the 6th started south through Cavitc Province, had a fight at Innes and stopped at Dos Merenes. Feb. Ist we were ordered to move back into Manila, where we remained until Feb. 14tli, when we left on transport for the Southern end of the island, arriving here on the 2Sth, and had an all day fight with niggers with bows and arrows, and have been quartered here ever since with the exception of a trip into the interior for 12 days from the 15th to 27th. On the 19th, ult., we had two fights at Palanka. and on the 20th we had six hot fights within ten hours; captured manv prisoners and guns and killed many more. One fourteen pound shell shot from the gun I am with killed 39 Insurrectors at Camalaiga on March 20th. We went onto Legaspi, returning the same way, and on the 22d had two more short lights. Since then we liuve done nothing but represent and scorch in the sun. We have fine | quarters in a large building. 1 have a fine, large | canopy topped mahogany bed to sleep in as also ! have others of my comrades. ! Last Sunday a soldier of the 'lsth infantry had i his head completely cut off by a bolo man. The bolo men sre more dreaded than any others. They slip upon a person through the long grass or in the night and bolo you. The 8010 is a large curved knife very heavy and sharp, about two feet long. Sometimes as many as two hundred go together, a band stealing and killing. The climate here has been warm ail the time since the rainy season. The wet season begins about the middle of May and lasts until the mid dle of November, during which time it rains al most c >nstantly,all the low lands being inundated by about two feet of water. Mud, of course, is plentiful and drir.king water very poor and warm. Tropical fruits abound and can be had for the asking, such as bananas, pine-apples, cocoanuts, puppois, bread-fruit, mangols and guavos. Sweet potatoes, onions and cucumbers are found in some places, they having been brought hero by the Spaniards. The people here is a mixture of nationalities, and about every nation is repre sented. The religion is strictly Catholic, and churches are found in every town and built of stone, some of which are finished off inside far more beautiful than our American churches. The people here live mostly on rice and fish, and many of them have fine houses, horses and carriages and money to burn. All smoke cigar ettes, men, women and children. Bamboo is the principal wood used although many expensive woods grow here, and money is plenty. Your Nephew, A. B. BBLDIN, G. 37 Mt. Artillery. Emporium School Board.
