It will take more than that degree to make him competent to doctor up some of the laws that were passed by that last Republican Legislature in New York. —And so it has come to pass that even a Republican President, of the high moral character that Mr. McKINLEY is supposed to have, is not constrained to break down the civil service rules in order that from four to ten thousand more hungry Repub- lican rooters can get at the public trough. —This talk of appealing to the courts for aid in suppressing Governor STONE'S presumption that he is more powerful than the constitution is all popy-cock. If there is one thing in the State, more than anoth- er, that QUAY owns outright it is the Su- preme court. The people of Pennsylvania can hope for no redress from that quarter. —There is one fellow in this State who more than gets even with the railroad com- panies when he sends his family off visit- ing.

BELLEFONTE, PA., JUNE 2, 1899. - af NO. 22. An Outrage on Cuba. If it were not so great a matter, the re- cent experiences in Cuba in relation to the distribution of funds to the ex-Cuban sol- diers would be most amusing. Having conceived the brilliant idea of bribing these half-starved fellows into a relinquish- ment of their rights to bear arms, the representatives of the United States govern- ment on the island proceeded to adopt rules for the transaction of the business. It was set forth that as a prerequisite to the payment of the money, the claimants for the amounts should deposit their arms with the commanders of American troops at stated places and that done the money amounting to $75 for each man would be paid. But the Cubans refused to comply with these conditions. Then it was sug- gested that they might consent to surrender their guns to local magistrates. To this proposition the government at Washington dissented in the most vigorous terms, but notwithstanding the protest General BROOKE accepted the conditions and ar- ranged for the payments. But the Cubans, more or less suspicious themselves,conclud- ed that a matter about which there was so much ado, would bear further investiga- tion, and finally refused to accept the mon- ey ou any terms. That is the present aspect of the case. For about a week the American authori- ties in Cuba have been parading around with train loads of gold and silver begging the Cubans in several neighborhoods to come forward, deposit their guns with the local magistrate and take away a portion of the treasure. Itis needless to say, how- ever, that there has not been a great rush for the money. The Cubans are there lank and hungry enough to take anything that might be accepted without sacrificing their self-respect, but only a few of them have extended their hand to receive the gold which seems to be the price of their man- hood. They need the money and they want it badly enough, but hungry as are their stomachs, they refuse to stain their palms with what seems like a bribe. Go- MEZ, the veteran leader of the protracted struggle for liberty, washed his hands of the affair in the beginning but left his fol- lowers to determine for themselves the- question of aeeepting or refusing the bounty. The result was that a few of the soldiers and a handful of stragglers and camp followers,not on the roll of the army, have come forward and taken the mess of pottage, but the scheme has proven a fail- ure and that fact is admitted by all con- cerned. The spectacle is a humiliating one, but who dares say that these almost starved and well-nigh famished ex-soldiers are not right in the course they have adopted? What right bad the President or General BROOKE or any one else on earth to put such a condition on the payment of the money appropriated by Congress for the re- lief of these men? The money was given them by the representatives of the people of the United States as a fund with which to provide them with implements of hus- bandry that they might make themselves self-supporting and productive citizens. But the administration, which seems to have conceived the notion of claiming their land and liberty by right of conquest, con- cluded that such purposes would be pro- moted by first disarming and subsequently reducing them to a state of vassalage. This part of their plans has miscarried and it remains to be seen whether the second step will be attempted. If it is every American citizen will share in the dishonor that is implied in the treachery to a people whom we promised to aid in an effort to acquire liberty, rather than join in a scheme to de- prive them of even the hope of ever achiev- ing it. Spain never attempted a greater outrage on any of her colonists than this which has failed of its purpose. An Ominous Silence. Two weeks ago the Legislative com- mittee charged with the duty of prosecu- ting certain persons accused of corrupt solicitation in connection with the con- sideration of the MCCARROLL bill in the Pennsylvania Legislature submitted such evidence as had been obtained by a legis- lative investigation, together with their report on the subject, to the district at- torrney of Dauphin county. This evi- dence is tolerably specific and the report directly charges culpability upon a num- ber of gentlemen, including one Member of the House of Representatives. But nota word has been heard of the matter since the papers were put in. possession of the district attorney. What is the reason for this ominous silence. While the question of prosecuting the persons accused was under consideration in the House it was freely whispered among the Members that the evidence might as well be thrown into a sewer as handed over to the district attorney of Dauphin county. For this reason an ap- propriation was asked in order that special counsel might be employed to prosecute the cases. For some reason, maybe the same, those who were oppdsed to the prosecutions opposed appropriation for the employment of special counsel and suc- ceeded in defeating it. This necessitated the handing of the evidence over to the district attorney of Dauphin county, and the result thus far justifies the suspicions that were whispered among the people about Harrisburg at the time. But the matter may yet be brought to a trial. The district attorney of Dauphin county is amenable tothe law and if he fails of his duty there isa way to bring him to task, provided of course that the committee of the Legislature desires to do so. It will be remembered that when the riot bribery cases were before the public the Legislature refused to appropriate funds to pay counsel for conducting the prosecutions, but the necessary amount was obtained, notwithstanding that fact, and such eminent lawyers as Judge BLACK and the late MATT CARPENTER were con- cerned in the case for the people. But in that affair the legislative committee meant business. If the present committee is similarly inclined the power is still in its hands. Mostly a Republican Steal. The Clearfield Republican, says to the Inquirer, anent the charge that Judge Savidge, of Northumberland, had been hold- ing court in that county and charging the people ten dollars a day and mileage, says that the question is not whether or not ten dollars a day and mileage is too much to pay for the services of a just judge, but whether Clearfield county requires the services of an outside judge. On that point the Clearfield papers ought to have more information than the Inquirer. This journal notes, however, that that jurist has drawn something more than nine hun- dred dollars extra from the State Treasury for outside services during the year 1897, but as both he and the Clearfield Republican are members of the Democratic party, it really does not understand why the Republican should ask the Inquirer to explain his con- uct. Doubtless abuses of various kinds have crept up in the administration of the judi- cial office. The courts are not infallible. But for the moment we rest our case here, hoping only that the Democratic Clearfield Republican will impeach some other Demo- cratic judge. The above we get from the Philadelphia Inquirer of a recent date. Possibly it might be out of place for the WATCHMAN to seemingly interfere in a controversy be- tween others, but it cannot refrain from remarking that in the effort to connect politics with the question of extra compen- sation for the judges of the State the In- quirer shows a degree of partisan bias that is neither commendatory of its professed fairness nor complimentary to its political judgment. Had the Inquirer known as much about the extra pay drawn by judgesas it should, —who has received it and the amounts so drawn—or known anything at all about the subject, we doubt if it would have had anything to say on the question. At least common political sense would have deter- red it from attempting to make political insinuations or saddling the wrong upon the shoulders of Democratic judges alone. It is evidently unknown to the Inquirer that during the years 1895, ’96, and 97 that the judges of the Supreme court of the State drew from the treasury,in addition to the salaries provided for them by law, the sum of $21,999 for such duties as they performed; and in addition to their salaries the judges of the courts of com- mon pleas of the State, during these same three years as extra compensation, mileage, ete., drew the sum of $97,581.81. And this in the face of the two facts that in one-half the districts of the State there are not six weeks of work to do, and the other more important one that the salaries of judges are fixed by law, and the consti- tution expressly prohibits them from re- ceiving any ‘‘other compensation, fees or perquisites.” Of the sums given above, unconstitu- tionally, unjustly and wrongfully, drawn from the treasury, the Republican Supreme court judges received $19,599 and a Demo- cratic Supreme court judge $2,400. Of the amounts paid extra to the common pleas judges, the Republican judges received $70,010.55 and the Democratic judges $27,- 571.26. The laws which made this robbery of the people, by the judiciary, possible were passed by Republican Legislatures and signed by Republican Governors; the ap- portionment of districts that made neither reason nor excuse for the wrong was the work of Republican manipulators; the sentiment that sustains and encourages it was bred and fostered by Republican teachings; the beneficiaries of this legal- ized but unconstitutional theft has been largely Republicans; and nine-tenths of the extra work said to be done and which the people were compelled to pay for twice, was for Republican judges and in districts in which there can be no reasonable excuse for the services of an extra judge. These facts the Inquirer should have been conversant with. And the other fact that this robbery of the treasury, in violation of the plain mandates of the Constitution, has been perpetrated by Republicans under the protection of Republican laws and sus- tained by Republican sentiment, should at least have shown that journal the political idiocy of attempting to leave the impres- sion that it is Democratic judges, alone, who are perpetrating this wrong and are impeach- able for so doing. In this matter the Inquirer, like the ostrich, has, in attempting to hide its head in the sand, only made its asininity the more perceptible. Mr. Reed’s Retirement. Congressman HOPKINS, of Illinois, has an- nounced the platform upon which he asks support as a candidate for the Speakership of the House of Representatives. If he is elected, he states in substance, he will con- duct the office on different lines than those followed by Speaker REED. That goes without saying for there is probably no other man on earth who could impose on the House and the country as Mr. REED has done during the several years that he occupied the speaker’s chair. But Mr. HopPKiNns is more specific. He adds that he will allow to each Member full liberty, responsibility and honor of the position to which the people have elected him. This is indeed a gratifying declaration and will excite a widespread hope that Mr. HOPKINS may be successful in his aspira- tion to hold what he calls the second high- est office under the government. Mr. REED has been a good Speaker, and it would prob- ably be unjust to question his patriotism or doubt his singleness of purpose. But he has arrogated to himself powers of such vastness that it is bewildering to think of them even now, after his proposed voluntary withdrawal from public life has been an- nounced. He was not only the whole of the House of Representatives, but so far as legislation was concerned he was the entire Congress, and the vesting of such power in the person of any man is not only fraught with great danger, but it is an actual humiliation to American manhood. That Mr. REED did not misuse to a greater ex- tent than he did is a mercy. If Washington had undertaken to exer- cise half the power that THOMAS B. REED assumed as his right he would have been condemned as a usurper. If THOMAS JEF- FERSON had attempted to arrogate to himself a tithe of the authority which Mr. REED exercised he would have been pilloried as a traitor to every principle of Republican- ism. Yet Mr. REED did these things and there was scarcely a protest. Thus far no perceptible harm has come of his palpable usurpations, and if Mr. HOPKINS or some other man with the purpose he has an- nounced succeeds to the office, possibly no damage will result. But there was peril in the conditions which Tom REED created, and his retirement from public life is a cause of public congratulation. -——No man can carry one movement to success so long as he remains thoroughly blinded to all else. It is this selfishness of interest that does more to hold back the temperance cause than anything else. Some people must see prohibition in it first be- fore they will turn a hand for anything and this is the reason why help is so scarce when they call for it. The Crowning Outrage. President McKINLEY, according to re- ports which come from Washington, pro- poses to have the troops returning from the Philippines mobilized at St. Paul or some other convenient place in the West, in order that he may inspect them. In other words these men who have been unlaw- fully retained in a hazardous employment, in a tropical and unhealthy climate, the targets for a savage foe, for a period of four or five months beyond their time, are now to be made agents for drawing a crowd for MCKINLEY for electioneering purposes, just as the prize bull or a mammoth pumpkin is made an attraction at a country fair to enlist interest in the horse race or the shell game which is quietly placed on the program. There is a record of a mean man who used his wife’s funeral as a convenient means of advertising the sale of her old clothes, but it is doubtful if his scheme was any more contemptible than this plan to use the poor soldiers from the trenches in the Philippines to advertise that the man responsible for their privations is a candi- date for office and wants the suffrages of the people at any price. Because of his wanton abandonment of these men, they were fed on rotten meat, diseased vege- tables and. discarded filth of one kind or another, and now that their friends at home have forced their release from a service worse than slavery, the man responsible for all the evils that have beset them un- dertakes to make them do service for him as electioneering stalking-horses on their way home. These men do not want to be delayed on their homeward journey to be reviewed by McKINLEY at St. Paul or anywhere else. What they want is to get home to their friends and families that they may the sooner get the poisons of bad food and worse atmosphere out of their systems. If McKINLEY wants to talk platitudes about his patriotism to them they will be in better form to listen to him after they have had an opportunity to consult with those who have been able to keep them- selves informed concerning the conduct of the war and the performances of members of the Cabinet and shareholders in the beef trust while they were on the other side of the globe. This proposition to mobilize the troops for purposes of show is an out- rage which should be resented by every friend of the soldiers concerned. 166 In 1900. From the Williamsport Sun. Colonel Roosevelt as a presidential possi- bility has heen abandoned by Tom Platt, who like Quay and Hanna, is for McKinley. With New York, Ohio and Pennsylvania entering the next Republican national con- vention pledged for McKinley his nomina- tion would seem to be assured. The Dem- ocrats, however, will doubtless make quite a respectable showing at the election if they are governed by wisdom in the selec- tion of a platform and a candidate worthy of the people’s support. The Democratic national committee at its meeting in St. Louis gave fourth an idea of what the chief planks in the platform would be, and at a farther meeting of the committee the policy of the Democratic party will be more ex- plicitly divulged. It behooves the party to make it plain to the people that the issue shall be in direct opposition to the policy of Platt, Quay and Hanna, who dominate the Republican party | and who are the promoters of the McKinley boom. President McKinley has done some things that commend him to the people, but the men who control him and bis policy are men whom the people cannot trust. He has retained in office a secretary of war who, during the Spanish war, was indif- ferent to the welfare of the American sol- dier, and Alger has been retained against theadvice of the better element of the Rep- publican party. He treated with ridiculous leniency a commissary general through whose brutal disregard for the welfare of the soldiers many of them were made sick and some of them died from eating diseased beef. He has allowed the arrogant secretary of war to humiliate General Miles, the head of the American army and one of the bravest of American generals. These are a few of the things the president has been obliged to go through his blind subser- vience to the will of Hanna and others who control him, and these are some of the things which will be made part of the reasons that will be advanced by the Democrats in the next presidential cam- paign why the people should refuse to re- elect Mr. McKinley to the presidency. It rests with the Democrats themselves whether they shall win the victory in 1900. The platform they will adopt must be one that will meet with the approval of the Democratic party as a whole and of those Republicans who do not think as Hanna, Platt and Quay think. It will be an easy matter to unite the Democrats upon the right kind of a platform as it will be easy to bring about a disruption by an injudi- cious adoption of dead and buried issues. And Well it May ‘Ponder.’ From the Philadelphia Record. i With the 7000 regular troops now on the way to Manila there will soon be available for services under General Otis about 25,000 Federal soldiers, exclusive of the volunteers now in the Philippines. The latter, numbering originally about 16,000, have been reduced to between 11,- 000 and 12,000 by the casualties of war and the inroads of disease, and will scarce- ly be counted upon by the War Depart- ment for further active service. With most of these volunteers sent home Manila might still be effectively garrisoned by the remaining regulars, but offensive operation after the rainy season would be out of the question. The 20,000 troops in the West Indies cannot be spared, nor can the meagre 17,- 000 left to garrison the domestic military posts. Manifestly under such conditions recourse must be had to a provisional army if the Federal forces in the Philippines are to be strengthened. The organization of such a body of fresh troops would mean another year of expensive warfare, with an increased public debt and an enhanced toll of human life as inevitable results. The Administration ponders gravely over the problem thus presented, but has found no solution as yet. The Great Issuc. From the Doylestown Democrat. Boss Platt has declared himself for the renomination of McKinley and Hobert and feels confident of their re-election. We shall see! Some questions will come up in the next canvass that will trouble their in- ventor and never before presented at a Presi- dential election, and which the Adminis- tration will have to meet. The discussion on the stump will reach out beyond the stereotyped issues of domestic concern and embrace our foreign policy for the future. This will concern every American who wishes well of his country. In our inter- national relations we have reached the cross-roads and must now determine which we will take; travel in the beaten path marked out by the fathers of the republic, and which we well understand, or shall we follow the example of the European powers and enter upon a Colonial policy that will lead us we know not whither? The ques- tion that will centre around this will be of overpowering interest and importance, and cast in the shade all domestic issues. The currency, the tariff and kindred ques- tions of home policy will sink into insignificance in comparison with expan- sion and imperialism. The Discovery of ¢Nature’s Secret” too Late for Malloy. From the Lansford Record. It is just our luck to be late getting on to a good thing. Some people run into luck, but we are usually sidetracked when it goes flying past on the main line. Now that our home is decorated with five girls, and one boy with sunset hair, a Chicago firm offers us in exchange for advertising space, Dr. Jean Woodey’s book, entitled ‘‘the secret of nature completely discover- ed, or how the birth of either boys or girls can be brought about.”’ And all for 66 cents. The emperors, kings, senators and printers who want a male offspring to perpetuate their names need no longer worry. Napoleon Bona- parte would have given two or three king- doms for this great secret. But it is with us like Boney, the news comes too late, Grover Cleveland would have given the best office in his gift for the information that this Chicago firm holds so cheaply.
