Ho discovered them to be bright, in dependent and self-possessed, but not beautiful. Are we to accept the gaekwar's dic tum as final or shall we first institute some inquiry as to his standard of beauty? Curious as it may seem, beauty, which ought to be universally recognized, is very much the creatine of conventions. Standards of beauty, and by beauty we, .of course, mean female beauty, that being the only kind which really counts with gaek wars either in Baroda or Omaha, vary greatly. Some ages have ad mired styles which to us seem ab horrent. While the magazines are filled with those touchingly illustrated advertisements of ladies who have reached a condition of embonpoint, which is the standard of beauty in Morocco, we might expect the text to inform one how to treble a double chin. But the advertisement is really an announcement of an unfailing method to get thin. On the opposite page we shall possibly run upon a picture of a somewhat spare female whose not unpleasant contour we are informed contains holes, depressions and other imperfections which can be removed in three weeks by appli cations of Dr. Fillemout's electric salve. Yet the Greeks thought the spare lady was"the goods." In Eng land we understand that a beautiful woman is one who has apple-red cheeks and large feet. In Africa the dusky belle is valued, net, sor much for what na'.itrfe has done for her as for the size of the ring and pendant dangling from her nose. In France beauty is a matter of millinery and lingerie, at least more so than in the South Sea islands. In some countries women brush their teeth to a daz zling whitness. In others they black en their teeth to the point of which we should denounce as hideous. The Chinese women pinch their feet, the American women their waists. All of these seemingly irreconciliable con tradictions, says the Minneapolis Tribune, undertaken in the search for beauts bring us back to the main proposition that beauty is a local is sue. If we think our American wom en beautiful they are beautiful. If the gaekwar prefer his enameled lady in fluffy "pants" that style goes in Ilaroda, but is not necessarily in Bos ton. Proving His Stories. T)P Rougemont, the adventurer who eome years ago deceived the Royal Geographical society and the public in London by Munchausen tales of his extraordinary experiences among the natives of Australia, until the Daily Chronicle exposed him, has turned up again. One of his early yarns was that, when shipwrecked on one occasion, he saved himself by be striding a great turtle which carried him to the shore. Even this wa3 swallowed until the final expose. But now De Rougemont has actually tak en such a ride in the tank of a Lon don playhouse. It is said that he had never seen the tortoise, or turtle, until he was introduced to it in the water. After makfng some passes, he successfully crossed the tank on its back, incessantly calling out: "Jah taliah!" a word which we cannot translate owing to the absence of our turtle and tortoise dictionary. De Rougemont now claims that he has proved the truth of his original story and says that he will take a trip from Margate towards France on tur tle-back to silence all doubters. The Bellville Times laments the death of"the oldest hen in existence." It says: Bellville, the Times be lieves, up to a few days ago, could have boasted of having the oldest hen in existence. As years go, chickens are generally considered short lived creatures, but this particular one bad an exceedingly long lease on life, hav ing reached the age of 12 years before she departed. It is needless to say that she died from natural causes, as no one would have been misguided enough to have dished her up even in the most approved style.

Hgures Whic.h - Explain Why the Eighty-Four Million Partners in he Grej<* Firm Have Rea son to Be Content. TTneonscious, and of course unin tentional, the New York Herald, of July IS, prints as its leader a strong "stand-pat" editorial. As a rule, the Herald is a strenuous advocate of tariff disturbance. It is, therefore, all the more noteworthy thai in the ar ticle entitled "The Business of 'Uncle Sam & Co.,'" cogent and con vincing reason should appear for let ting the tariff alone. True it is that "Wo are all partners in the great firm of 'Uncle Sam & Co.,' and from the largest to the smallest every one is directly or indirectly affected by its vicissitudes and shares in its profits." True, every word of it, is the Her ald's conclusion: "With the prospect of brilliant crops, a magnificent foreign trade, and an even more prosperous home trade reflected in the statistics of mercantile,* industrial and trans portation activities, the 84,000,000 partners in the firm of 'Uncle Sam &, Co.' have every reason to be con tent." This is exactly what a very large number of earnest and patriotic peo ple have been insisting upon for some time past. For this they are : called "stand-patters." The terra should be one of high commendation, and not one of reproach, according to the Herald's showing. We are told by the Herald that the record for 1906 as to imports and exports breaks all previous records, the total reaching very close to three billions. Also that the firm of j "Uncle Sam & Co." has in its exports of $4,743,763,612 exceeded by more than 12 per cent. Great Britain's ex ports of home products in the last calendar j*ear. Also that our trade ; balance for the last ten years amounts to $5,148,213,000. These are stunning figures. Has the Herald thought out what they mean? Has it, for example, looked backward to 1893, the fiist year of the Cleveland era of "tariff reform," : when our adverse trade balance was $18,735,728? Has the Herald consid ered the enormous disparity of fa vorable trade balances in the "tariff rerform" years of 1593-1897, com pared with the protection years fol lowing that period? The fact tlicit we had in actual cir | dilation $700,000,000 more of gold coin than we had ten years ago—an increase more than twice as large as the increase in bank note circula tion —is mentioned with satisfaction by the Herald. It is an important fact. The explanation is fully as im portant as the fact itself. With an average trade balance of $512,799,981 : coming to "Uncle Sam & Co." each year for the past nine years, as con trasted with a yearly average of $136,- 624,764 in the live preceding years of i "tariff reform," this gold has come to us in partial settlement of net trade balances. Why did not the whole of the balances, amounting to more than five billion dollars, come ' back to us in gold? Because of the huge sums that, must be deducted on account of the freight bills of foreign steamship companies, the dividends and interest on American stocks and bonds owned in foreign countries, the sums spent abroad by American tour ists, and thro sums sent abroad by | properous Americans to needy rela tives. Add to this the great blocks of our securities that we have bought in the past nine years of protection trade balances, and it is easy to see why we have not accumulated more than $700,000,000 in gold in all these years. Well may the Herald felicitate the 84,000,000 partners in the firm of | "Uncle Sam & Co." upon their share in this splendid showing of profits. ! The country is to be congratulated, j and so is the Herald itself. Let the ! Herald look over its books and com ; pare its net receipts in the "tariff re form" period of 1893-1897 with its net j receipts in the protection period of j 1897-1906. We have an idea that in | the ratio of at least two to one the j Herald would find reasons for con j gratulating itself upon having been a sharer in the profits of "Uncle Sam ! & Co." since the firm emerged from the "tariff reform" period nine years ago. We have an idea that every producing interest in the country, every partner in the great firm! would find similar reasons for con gratulating themselves upon the change from "tariff reform" to pro tection; similar reasons for not wish ing another shift backward from pro tection to "tariff-reform;" similar reasons for "standing-pat." The Her ald's article is full of such reasons. The United States Steel company pays $11,000,000 a month in wages alone. That is a dastardly crime in j the eyes of the tariff reformers. Half I the money might easily be paid to foreign workmen.—Buffalo News. Whatever may be one's individual views as to the wisdom of any par ticular tariff schedule, or even of a ; protective tariff at all, nobody will deny that the mechanism is far too delicate to be handled without great care.—Boston Financial News. I What works well isn't so very bad. Standing "pat" with prosperity jus i tifies Pat.—Lewiston Journal. CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, AUGUST 30, 1906. HERE IS AN INSPIRING THEME. I What Sound Tariff Legislation Has Done for the Country. Had it not been for Republican tar iff legislation the United States might still be an agricultural country almost solely, as it was in Jefferson's days, and as it remained along to the time of the Republicans' entrance into power. The Republican house of representa tives elected in 18r>8. in the middle of Buchanan's term, passed the Morrill J tariff bill, which went through the | Democratic senate after the Republic- | ans gained control of it through the retirement of tin: southern members who followed their states into the con- ; federacy. As Pennsylvania was one of j the leading champions of the bill, Bu- | chanan signed it just before he stepped 1 out of office. From Hint hour to the i present the aim of the Republicans has j been to give adequate protection to j every domestic industry which needed 1 protection. This policy has been 10l- j lowed continuously, except in the«case ( of the "perfidy and dishonor" Demo cratic tariif of 1594, which the Repub- j licans displaced by the Dingley tariff when they reentered power in 1897. . As a consequence of this wise Repub- ' lican legislation, the United States went to the front as a manufacturing nation in 1880, beating England in that | year. Our lead over that country, : which is our nearest rival, lias been constantly lengthening in the past j quarter of a century. Under Repub- ' lican tariffs*our exports of all sorts of } merchandise have increased, but the ! gain has been especially large in manufactures. In this field a country's ; capabilities and intelligence are put to the supreme test, for there tho com petition is strongest in the markets of tho world. By that tet,t the United States has won rotable conquests, and tho Republican party has achieved tri- j umphs which are the pride of its own members and of the American people j in general. It was in 1900 that Count Goluchowski, the Austrian minister of ! foreign affairs, declared that Europe I would be compelled to combine to re sist the"American commercial inva- i sion," if Europe intended to retain its 1 industrial independence. For Europe the"American commercial invasion," as shown by our exports of $600,000,- 000 of manufactures, is far more por tentious to-day than it was six years ago. Here is an inspiring theme for Republican stump speakers for the | congressional campaign of 1906. —St. I Louis Globe-Democrat.. I The Same Old Bryan. We are obliged to Mr. Bryan. He has confirmed our prediction that he would clarify the issue which he 1 presented to the country in his pre- j vions presidential campaigns. He has j abandoned none of the beliefs which | he professed in 1896. He is more rad- ! ical than he was then and still believes ! that free coinage of silver would con- j tribute to the general prosperity. While he does not make it how he will deal specifically with the sev- ; eral phases of the problem of wealth j in its relation to the commonwealth, j he announces that his cure will be | drastic and that he will shortly tackle I the tariff, railroad and trust questions j and imperialism. He will not stretch his hand across | the bloody gulch to grasp that of the } "safe and sane." He will be glad to ! see them, in any number, and will per- | mit them to stand close up to him, but j they have got to come across by them- I selves. For Mr. Bryan there must be a rad ical democracy or none at all. —Cleve. j land Leader. Shall It Be Doomed? How to be useful to the free trade pary, even though belonging to the protection party, is pointed out by Congressman Sullivan, of Boston, when he says: "If Massachusetts will continue to lead in the tariff battle, one Repub lican state after another will swift ly fall into line, and the Dingley tariff will be doomed." That's the idea. If enough Repub licans in Massachusetts keep on dis crediting it as they are now doing, and if other Republican states fall into line, then the Dingley tariff will be doomed. Nothing could be plain er than tho fact that the doom of the best tariff the country has ever had, and the downfall of protection, rest wholly with Republicans. Con gressman Sullivan points out the way. Will Massachusetts continue to lead the tariff battle? Mr. Bryan, among others, would be greatly pleased to receive an affirmative an swer to this question. The Other Side. "The desire to increase our own prosperity at the expense of our de pendents is at the root of the demand that no tariff reduction shall be granted to the Filipinos. Provi dence Journal. Let us look at it the other way for a moment. Is it not the desire to be just and fair to the sugar, tobacco and rice producers of our own coun try, to keep faith with them, to per mit them togo on investing domes tic capital and employing domestic labor? Is not the Republican party specifically pledged to that proposi tion? The fifty-seven protectionist Republicans who voted against the Philippine free trade bill were con scientious in thinking so. So were a considerable number,of house pro tectionist Republicans who voted for that bill under protest and in the be lief that the measure could never pass the senate. Though the Dingley tariff has a few glittering faults, this same Ding ley tariff is the only enactment that stands between the American work ingman and the starvation wages paid in England.—Bangor News. YANKEEHELP Inform of Guns and Men to Conic to Cuba. BANDERA 8S KILLED The Cuban Insurgents Lose One ot Their Most Daring Leaders — Captured Another Town. Havana, Cuba. —Font Sterling, sec retary of the treasury, late Thursday night cleared up in a statement 4o the Associate d Press a misleading an nouncement made at the palace hist night to the effect that the Cuban government had asked the United States'" government for eight rapid fire guns manned by American artil- i lerymen to be used in the suppression of the insurrection. The facts are, according to the secretary, that the government has ordered from an American arms manufacturing com- ; pany four rapid lire guns and that ' these pieces will be manned by former members of the artillery branch of the American army now here. The killing of the insurrectionary j leader Gen. Quentin Bandera, in an i engagement Thursday between rural j guards and a hand of his followers is j regarded as dealing the insurrection j a heavy blow. The government is i acting with energy in sending rural | guards and volunteers against the j Santa Clara rebels and in sending Ir>o1 r >o , more men to defend Pinar Del Rio ! against Pino Guerra. The capture of San Juan de Martinez by Guerra's band was not a great surprise, though ! it was not expected to occur so soon. ! The place was protected by a very | small detachment of rural guards, j while Guerra's strength was much | greater. The taking of Pinar Del Rio will j be quite another matter, since there | are in that vicinity twice as many | troops as the insurgent Pino Guerra | can muster, it is regarded as more j than probable that the troops will j take the offensive and if .possible j draw Guerra into an open fight. While government reinforcements j are going forward, Guerra's following is not believed to have been geatly 1 augmented by his occupation of the j two Vuelta Abajo towns. Public opinion appears to vary ac cording to locality, from enthusiastic adherence- to the government to re bellion. 111 this city the general at titude is one of loyalty. The opposi tion and independent newspapers discuss with analytical coldness the cry that if the government is no«. able to squelch the insurrection witlfin two months, other forceful means must be employed for.the restoration of peace. General Manager Livesey, of the Western railroad, received a message Thursday from Pino Guerra, forward ed from San Juan De Martinez, say ing: "1 am in possession of your station. If any more troops are sent ! over the Western railroad 1 will blow ! up the bridges and destroy your j property." The government has not made j public the news of the capture of Sun | Juan De Martinez by insurgents. The I editor of the Post, which paper pub- I lished an extra containing the news, I was summoned before Gov. Nunez and censured for exciting the public j by publishing sensational news un- 1 favorable to the government. Gov. Nunez declared that he would recom- j mend to President Palma the estab- I lishment of a censorship. The news- j papers of Havana do not believe that I President Palma will approve of such ! a move, as despite a constant flood of rumors the newspapers have pub lished only facts. ARRESTS 0E POLICEMEN. They Are Alleged to Have Engaged j in Extensive Thefts of Goods on Wharves. Savannah, Ga.—E. C. Tabb, C. H. Ruth and Bernard McCabo, policemen in the employ of the Ocean Steamship Co. upon its docks, and A. B. La Roach, shipping clerk, were arrested Thursday afternoon upon warrants charging them with the theft of articles of merchandise from the wharves. The men gave bond and were released. Accusation against the men was made by John Ray, a negro, who was arrested for having new shoes in his possession which he could not ac count for satisfactorily. It is charged that the men ar rested have been accustomed to break open cases of goods at night and take sucn articles as they desir ed. The alleged thefts are said to have been going on for two years. Qthers than those arrested are said to have engaged in the practice. The Ocean Steamship Co. operates a line of steamers between Savannah and New York and Boston. The force of police it employs are under the superintendence of the Savannah chief of police. Explosion Fatal to Father and Son. Wilkesbarre, Pa. An explosion of gas occurred on Thursday in No. 9 colliery of the Lehigh and Wilkesbarre Coal Co. at Sugar Notch, in which one miner, W. A. Vincent, was killed, his son William was fa tally injured. Seven Deaths from Heat. Chicago, 111. —A cool wind from the northeast Thursday night brought relief from the hot. spell that has prevailed since Monday. The tem perature dropped 14 degrees. Up to noon the heat caused seven deaths. HAVING IT OUT —A FEMININE CONFAB. We come upon the two women while they are in tlie midst of a dig nified but none the less earnest dis- I cussion. The first woman is saying: "Hut you said that I said that you ! said it, and" — "No," interrupts the second. "I j said that if you said that I said that yon said it, you said" - "I said you said that if I said that you said it I said that you"— i "Indeed? I said that you said if I said Ihat you said that if I said it I you said I said you"— "I said that. I said that you said that you said if I said you said I | said —" "I don't care! I said I said it, but I never said you said I said what you j said I said." "Oh, then it is quite different. I ' said if you said you said it then you hadn't said I said you said what 1 said you said I said you said I said I you said.' "Then it is perfectly clear now, dear." Whereupon they kiss and make up; but we sit for some time in deep thought, and wonder if really she said what she said she said she said when she said she said it. —Judge. Great Genius. "Sir," said Uie sliagg.v-haired man, entering the office of the capitalist, "1 have here an invention that will make both of us fabulously rich if you will furnish the financial backing." "What, is it?" asked the capitalist, "it is an alarm-clock that goes off at the exact minute desired and keeps ringing until you are up." "Poof! The world Is full of alarm j CIOCkS." "Just a moment.
