BY P. GRAY MEEK. Ink Slings. —LEven the elements seem conspiring to keep Uncle SAM as cool as possible. —Keep your eye on Governor DANIEL Hastings. He is the hero of the sieges of Altoona, Johnstown and SWALLOW and he will save Pennsylvania, if the worst comes to the worst. —An uptown enthusiast has proposed that if Spain presents the Pope as her repre- sentative in a court of arbitration to adjust the troubles growing out of her tyranny in Cuba, that Dr. SWALLOW would be the proper arbiter for Uncle SAM. —It seems now that the Bellefonte post- office belongs to most anyone and the barque in which the editor of the Gazette launched his little boomlet is drifting farther from the shore. At one time it looked as if he would land in posi-master FORTNEY’S berth, but they say there are others now. —Everybody should fill up on eggs next Sunday. In addition to properly observ- ing Easter an egg diet will get you all in trim shape for fighting Spain. Stuff your- self full of eggs, in anyway except raw, and while you might get the stuffin’ knocked out of you all the Spaniards on earth can’t whip it. —The very patriotic BEN SPANGLER, of Cumberland county, has been kicking up his star spangled banner again, but this time he isn’t wanting to legislate American flags, made from the wool of American bred sheep and swung from American grown poles, onto the top of every country school house in the State. He merely turned up at a meeting in Carlisle, on Sat- urday night, and made a speech endorsing McKINLEY’S policy of wait and waste. —President McCKINLEY’S promises about his forth-coming message on the Cuban situation seem much like an attempt to ex- plode LINCOLN’S epigram that ‘‘you can fool some of the people all the time, all the people some of the time, but you can’t fool all the people all the time.”” The Presi- dents’ course gives rise to the suspicion that he is trying to fool all the people all the time. His message is getting to he almost as big a fake as BARNUM’S woolly horse. —If the dishonor that has been so repeat- edly borne by the United States govern- ment is never to be resented what pride can there be in citizenship of a power that counts its subjects for naught? Waris to be avoided whenever doing so does not compromise the honor of a nation, but if, as some say, we are to truckle to every power on earth, simply to avoid blood- shed, then why not relieve ourselves of the burden of an army and a navy and take the insults that are repeatedly heaped upon us, without making a show of arms that we are too chicken-hearted to use. —Poor old JOHN SHERMAN, supposed to be Secretary of State, has come to the sur- face at last. He was discovered to be still alive through a dinner he gave to the diplomatic corps on Saturday. His most honored guest, so they say, was the Span- ish minister. It would he little wonder if Jonx should take up with the other side. The DAY-light has so entirely eclipsed his in the international correspondence that has been the out-come of the Cuban affair, that if he can’t be recognized as amounting to anything here it is the most natural thing in the world for him to seek a place where he will be better appreciated. —MCcKINLEY’S idea of “the nation’s honor’ depends on the standpoint from which he views it. When looking at it from his front porch in Canton during the presidential campaign, while addressing his political visitors, it appeared to him that the nation’s honor required that the gold standard should be upheld and the interest of the Wall street bankers and bond dealers should be protected. In his present position as President, when a treacherous enemy blows up one of our warships and murders a lot of our sailors, he doesn’t think that the nation’s honor requires that anything should be done about it. —There promises to be another bird book scandal in Pennsylvania, only this time it is not the fowls of the air, but those of the farm yard, that are being made the trans- ports for barrels of money from the state treasury. The last Legislature authorized the printing of an extra edition of 15,000 copies of a 128 page pamphlet on the *“Dis- eases and Enemies of Poultry’’ that had al- ready been published at a cost of $5,000. It was not because some of the old roosters in the Legislature took kindly to knowing what ailed them that it was done, but the farmers of the State appreciated the pamph- let and extra ones were ordered. It has just been discovered that the 1928 page pamphlet has grown to a book of 1,000 pages that will cost $53,200. —During the past year, after thirty- three years had. expired since the glose of the war, more than $140,000,000 were spent in paying the expense of pension rolls that are padded with bummers and coffee-coolers. But enormous as is this amount of money it is found to be in- sufficient to meet the requirements of this scandalous drainage in the treasury, and the secretary of the interior asks for $8,000,- 000 more to make up the deficiency. With full knowledge of the proflizacy that is swelling the pension expense, the weak- kneed individual in the White House who truckles to the Spanish Dons, recommended more liberal pensions in his first com- munication to Congress. NYY: 2 G7) 7 yy rT STATE RIGHT S AN D FEDERAL UNION. BELLEFONTE, PA., APRIL 8. 1898. McKinley Still Delays. There is further delay in asserting the nation’s honor. More time is given the peace-at-any-price schemers to get in their disgraceful work. The greatest outrage that any nation ever sustained, both as an injury and an insult, was inflicted upon the United States at Havana through the treacherous hatred of the Spaniards. It was the most cruel form of murder with our sailors as the vic- tims. No nation’s flag ever suffered so gross an insult as did our national ensign in having the ship tl.at bore it at its mast head blown from under it. It was a stab in the dark, aimed at the heart as well as at the honor of this nation. Spanish complic- ity is no longer doubted, and as a conse- quence of Spain’s evident responsibility, it can fear no other constrnction than as an act of war perpetrated in advance of actual hostilities. How has this great wrong, this unpar- alleled injury and insult, been treated by the head of the nation? McKINLEY out- raged the feelings of the American people by actually ignoring this Spanish crime, condoning it, in effect, in his message that accompanied the finding of the court which fixed Spain’s guilt by the strongest impli- cation. It was expected that there would be less national abasement in the tone of the mes- sage which he promised this week ; but he further abuses the patience of the Ameri- can people. The message is still delayed. It wasn’t sent in on Monday. It failed to make its appearance on Wednesday and it has been announced that it won't be handed in until next Monday. Con- gress awaits MCKINLEY’S procrastinating action while the stockbrokers, and the mer- cenary politicians of the HANNA stripe are arranging for a dishonorable peace, and Spain is gathering her ships and strength- ening her forces with which to defy the na- tion whose battleship she destroyed and whose sailors she murdered. A Bad Case of Demoralization. That the Philadelphia Record should be badly demoralized in its sentiments on the issues between this country and Spain, is the natural consequence of its demoraliza- tion om'the muney question. A paper that allies itself with the interest of the money changers, discarding the ancient financial doctrines and principles of the Democratic party in order that it may better serve the bankers and bond dealers, will surely be found among the advocates of peace at any price when the vindication of the national honor may interfere with the profits of speculative capital and depress ‘‘values’’ in the stock market. In urging that McKINLEY be supported in his maintenance of a disgraceful peace, the Record does not reflect the patriotic sentiment of the people, but represents the sordid fear of unpatriotic wealth. When it denounces ‘‘the furious fire-eating orators in Congress who howl for war, the silly sensationalists who make merchandize of the quarrels of nations, the irresponsible few who know not the dread import of war,’ it slurs the just popular indignation that has been aroused by continued Spanish wrongs and insults. Its language is as of- fensive and as wrongly applied to a justly indignant people, smarting under Spanish outrages, as were the denunciatory expres- sions it employed in stigmatizing as anarchists and repudiationiste that large class of intelligent and responsible citizens who voted for free silver as against the monetary monopoly of the Wall street bank syndicates. When the Record became demoralized on the money question, yielding to the mer- cenary gold-bug influence, nothing else was to be expected as a consequence than that it would become a mouth-piece of the sordid and unpatriotic gang, of which MARK HANNA is the chief, whose influence has been exerted upon McKINLEY to secure peace with Spain at any price rather than that the stock-jobbing interests should be impaired by the disturbance of a just war. Dr. JounsoN W. POTTER, promi- nent in his profession and a leader in the polities of Clearfield county, died sudden] y last Thursday evening of heart disease. He was born in Clarion county, in 1835, and after practicing medicine for awhile he en- gaged in lumber operations, which proved highly profitable. Three times the Inde- pendent Democrats of Clearfield county presented him as a candidate for Assembly and once, in 1873, he was elected. He was ever opposed to bossism and made many hard fights against it. Dr. PorTerR had considered the advisability of being a candidate for the Senate from this district this year, but had practically given it up before his death. For years he had been one of Clearfield’s most prominent and in- fluential men. His business successes ef- fectively conserved to the independence of his character, for being beholden to no man he was always ready and eager to bat- tle against the pernicious, no matter where it appeared. ——Subscribe for the WATCHMAN. A Remarkable Sermon. We were never an admirer of political sermons, believing that they introduced an element into party politics that created more disturbance than it did good. Such discourses in the pulpit do religion a harm without making amends for that injury by producing a beneficial effect, upon politics. But there are public subjects that are of a higher grade than those of a strictly politi- cal character, relating more to the nation and its welfare than to political parties and the success of their principles, and it was upon such a subject that Rev. ARTHUR W. SPOONER, pastor of the Calvary Presby- terian church, of Camden, New Jersey, preached last Sunday using for his text the interrogation, ‘What would Jesus do if he were in President McKINLEY’S place 2’ The question had reference to the Presi- dent’s action in our relations with Spain in regard to Cuba, and it was with rever- ence that this clergyman treated the hy- pothesis of Jesus, in the place of McKINLEY, dealing with Spain on the Cuban question. To many it might appear that in such a position the great advocate of peace, who advised turning the one cheek when the other was smitten, would be averse to drawing the sword, but Rev. SPOONER maintained that while He would confront Spain on the plane of the ‘golden rule,’’ it would not he out of harmony with His righteous and pacific utterance to grasp in His uplifted hand a gleaming sword. His declaration, ‘I came not to bring peace upon earth, but a sword,” would be ap- plicable to such a case as that presented by Spanish oppression and cruelty in Cuba, where forcible means are required to rescue the helpless and innocent from the fangs of rancorous wolves. Whatever might be the action of Jesus in dealing with Spaniards if He were in MCcKINLEY’S place, there can be no ques- tion as to the treatment He would accord to the HANNAS and the money-grabbing shylocks who throng the White House, urging its occupant toa dishonorable peace in order that their stocks may not be im- paired or their dividends endangered. We know what course He adopted when He scourged the money changers from the temple. TT’ ~re would now be as much oc- casion to a: e fromthe executive mansion the sordid creatures who are influencing McKINLEY to patch up a peace at any price that may prevent a slump in the value of their speculative investments, with utter indifference to the value of the na- tion’s honor. If Jackson Were President. It may be pertinently asked, with refer- euce to the Cuban situation, what would ANDREW JACKSON do if he were in Me- KINLEY’S place? It is reasonable to be- lieve that if Old Hickory had heen inaugu- rated on the 4th of March, 1897, instead of HANNA’S man, there would not now be much of a Cuban question. He would hardly have been warm in the presidential seat before the independence of Cuba would have been recognized, and whatever Spain might have thought necessary to do about it he would have been ready for. But Spain would have done nothing. The resolute posture of such a President as AN- DREW JACKSON, backed by the power of a great nation, would have given the Cuban situation quite a different aspect from that .which a cowardly, shilly-shally policy on the part of the present administration has allowed it to assume. It has been this policy that has encouraged the Spaniards to regard our government with contempt. They were assured that they could practice their barbarities with impunity. There was nothing to restrain them from commit- ting every form of outrage when the American government actually assisted them in keeping the Cuban people under their heels. It was this weak policy that led the Spaniards from ill concealed con- tempt to the bolder attitude of defiance, until to-day they actually believe that the American nation is afraid of them. It en- couraged them to blow up our warship, be- lieving that we would be too cowardly to resent it, and the same contemptuous opin- ion of our courage prompts them to reject the groveling peace proposals of McKIN- LEY. The Cuban situation and our relations with Spain would present no such humilia- ting features if ANDREW JACKSON were President. If he had gone into office when McKINLEY did his administration would not have been a year old before the Span- iards would have found Cuba too hot to hold them. —— WANAMAKER, during the past week, has been in the upper tier of counties, prosecuting his crusade against the QUAY machine, and enlightening the voters of those strong Republican districts as to the corruptions of the party which they have so long supported. After hearing WaANA- MAKER'S disclosures of the rotten practices that have prevailed in the party manage- ment, may it not occur to those Republi- cans that the best thing they can do for the benefit of the State would be to help turn their party out of power and keep it out until it shall become purged of its rascals ? Intended National Disgrace. The deliberate starving of a large Cuban population, estimated from 250,000 to 500,- 000, is an act of inhumanity which some People may think does not concern our government and should not interest our People. It may be that the United States has a right to be as indifferent about this outrage as were the heartless governments of Europe concerning the massacre of the Christian Armenians. It such views are correct it may be that the starvation, devastation and general Spanish deviltry in Cuba are none of our business, and we are not justified in going to any trouble and expense in regard to them. But can the same view be taken of the Maine outrage? Is that combination of treachery and savagery by which we are injured and insulted as a nation, to be treated as a mere ‘‘incident,’’ as President McKINLEY terms it in his message to Con- gress; an episode in our relations with Spain which, if there was anything wrong in it, may be left to “‘the sense of justice of the Spanish nation’ for adjustment and rectification ? If unexampled cruelties practiced on helpless women and children in Cuba are none of our business and impose no duty upon us, surely it can not be held that the blowing up of one of our ships and murder of our sailors was an occurrence which should not excite us ; that although we are morally certain it was done through a Spanish agency there is nothing in it that should excite a demand for reparation be- yond what may be insured by Spanish honor and friendship, as suggested in the President’s message. It is almost incredible that in the treat- ment of such a direct and wanton outrage a President of the United States should display so craven and dastardly a spirit. War may have its horrors and losses, but to smooth over so flagrant a national wrong and so stinging an insult to national dignity, in order to avoid war, would be an abase- ment such as history has never ascribed to any self-respecting nation. The HANNA influence has been impelling McKINLEY to such national degradation in regard to the Maine “incident,” but the American peo- ple will never submit to it. 3 —— Hanna Found Guilty of Bribery. Every doubt as to MARK HANNA'S guilt in securing his election to the United States Senate by bribery has been removed by the report of the Ohio State Senate in- vestigating committee. The evidence that he bad used corrupt means to influence the votes of state Legislators was so strong that even the Republican majority of the com- mittee could not resort to the usual white- wash, but were forced to report according to overwhelming facts. The investigation was a long and ex- haustive one, and the corruptionist would have been given the benefit of doubts and mitigating circumstances if there had been any, but the fact of his guilt stood out so plainly, there were so many witnesses to prove that money had been corruptly used, that the most friendly disposed committee had to report HANNA as a rascal who had corruptly gained his senatorial election. But there was’ never any doubt in the mind of an intelligent public that the man who was scoundrel enough to commit the great crime of corrupting a presidential election would buy his way to the United States Senate if it was necessary for him to use money to get there. A committee of the Ohio Legislature has put upon him the stamp of bribery. The fact of his guilt established, the next question is whether the United Stated Senate will allow to con- tinue among its membersan offender who, if his punishment were proportioned to his offense, according to the laws of his State, would be assigned to a cell in the peniten- tiary. Democratic Encouragement. The political situation in the State is calculated to afford the Democrats much encouragement. With a united Republi- can organization, and the dominant party giving the people anything like decent government, there would be nothing to in- spire Democratic hope. But the situation is quite the opposite of this. Pennsylvania Republicanism is split up into warring factions, and its management of staté af- fairs is a stench in the nostrils of the peo- ple. Numerical strength turns to weak- ness under such conditions. The minority party may become the majority if it can present an unbroken front to the divided forces of an enemy that is weakened by its division and discredited by its misdeeds. In this situation the Democratic policy is to unite the party, discarding every issue that may interfere with a solid array on questions of state government. If this common sense plan of conducting a state campaign is adopted by the leaders, con- fining the platform exclusively to state in- terests, and setting aside past differences on national issues as irrelevant to the present object, the consequence will be a united party that will have a decided advantage over an opposition split by factional dif- ferences. The National Guard and a Spanish War, Since there has actually been an appear- ance of war with Spain it has become a much mooted question among military men as to the possibility of calling the Guards of the various States of the Union to arms. Granted that an emergency does arise that will necessitate sucha call a much more discussed question has come up as to the power of the President or a Governor to transport the Guard of any State beyond the confines of the State in which they are enlisted. Some high in military information have held that the only way the Guard can be secured to the federal service is by a re- mustering as a body and re-election of offi- cers ; others have insisted that the Presi- dent has authority to order them anywhere and it was the opinion of Adj. Gen’l. STEWART, of Pennsylvania, that the Presi- dent has power to call the Guard of any State into the federal service, with or with- out the sanction of the Governor of said State, and that it can be taken anywhere within the confines of the United States for a period of nine month’s service. Maj. J. N. MORRISON, assistant to the judge advocate general of the U. 8. army, has settled the question and positively fixed the conditions under which service can be required in the following opinion, which he has just given to the public. There are only three purposes for which the President, under the constitution and the laws, calls them into the service, namely, to enforce the laws of the United States, to sup- press Insurrection, and to repel invasion, and there is no probability of their being needed soon, at least, for any of these purposes. No one is opposing the enforcement of the laws of the United States or threatening to do so, there is no insurrection or rebellion in the United States or any immediate danger of any, and our country is not now or likely soon to be invaded or in imminent danger, ‘‘of invasion from any foreign nation or In- dian tribe.” The statute making it “lawful for the President to call forth” the militia is Section 1642 R. S., and is as follows : ; “Whenever the United States are invaded or are in imminent danger of invasion from any foreign nation or Indian tribe, or of re- bellion against the authority of the govern- ment of the United States, it shall be lawful for the President to call forth such a number of the militia of the State or States most con- venient to the place of danger or scene of ac- tion as he may deem necessary to repel such invasion or to suppress such rebellion, and to issue his orders for that purpose to such offi- cers of the militia as he tink proper.”’ In answer to the question; *Svill mot the National Guard be given an opportunity to enlist?’ Maj. MORRISON said : They can volunteer as National Guards, as organized state militia. The organized state militia and the volunteers furnished by a State for the United States service are two separate organizations of an entirely differ- ent character. The National Guard is a state organization for service in the State, which may be called into the service of the United States on the occasions I have men- tioned and for use by the United States only for the purposes mentioned within its bor- ders, and which when not being used by the United States, can be used as a military force by the State to suppress insurrections, repel invasions, ete. But the volunteer organizations furnished by a State for the United States service can- not be used by the State atall fcr any pur- pose and can be used by the United States for all purposes or anywhere. Each member of the National Guard can leave that organi- zation and enter by contract of enlistment into a state volunteer organization, to be fur- nished to the United States by the State. Or he can enter the volunteer organization as a commissioned officer if he can secure a com- mission for that purpose. He, however, can- not enter it on his militia commission. That is a commission as a militia officer. He must have a commission as an officer of the volun- teer organization. Whether he would have to secure his commission of the Governor of his State or from the President, cannot now be determined because there is no law on the subject in force. The Friends are Not Bellicose, A deputation from the society of Friends from Baltimore, composed of Dr. RICHARD H. THoMAS, JESSE TysoN and BENJ. P. MOORE called on President McKINLEY on the 18th ult. and presented the following memorial : Baltimore Representative Meeting ) of Friends—Orthodox—of Maryland, Virginia and part of Penna. ) TO THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. ‘‘As representatives of a religious society, which bas from its origin held that for one nation to engage in warfare with another is opposed to the spirit of the Gospel, we have been gratified at the conservative policy which has been pursued by the administra- tion in its relation to Spain and the island of Cuba. Especially do we appreciate the peace- ful attitude maintained by thyself, upon whom so large a share of responsibility rests. We feel, in common with the great mass of our countrymen, great sympathy for the suf- fering Cuban people; and we heartily ap- approve of all pacific measures for their re- lief. But we believe that the cause of hu- manity would be retarded rather than ad- vanced by an intervention that would result in war, with all its attendant evils and suf- fering. The late terrible destruction of a war ves- sel in the harbor of Havana, with such de- plorable loss of life, affords, as it were, a fore- taste of the horrors which a clash of arms be- tween the two nations must involve. We earnestly pray that such a calamity may be averted, and that under divine guid- ance thy efforts for the preservation of peace may be successful.” The committee was kindly received by the President who expressed gratification with the purport of the communication and his desire that peace be maintained. The President simply told our Quaker friends what the world has known ever since the present crisis. He is for peace at any hazard, the honor of the nation not- withstanding. —Last week everyone was happy because the buds were showing green on the trees.
