Beware fa BY FP. GRAY MEEK. Ink Slings. —Rain or no rain the Republican fight throughout the county continues to grow. —Mr. President, can you tell us how or when we will ever have sweet peace again. —Very little is heard of OLGA NETHER- SOLE’S clinging kiss, since the HoBsoN smack has come to be the style. —The Republican who doesn’t get a big fat slice of the swag that is going around now must be virtuous indeed. —Judge LOVE and his forces are very likely to discover where the Governor’s mines are planted, to-morrow afternoon. —Itisdangerously close to the firing line that both the Republican ‘‘ringsters’’ and the Republican ‘‘wreckers,’’ in the county, are at this time. —The best of evidence that all of the hungry horde have not been fed isto be seen in the fact that there are already ten thousand applications for census bureau johs. Their slogan is: We are the hungry and we must be fed. —Financial statistics report that there are $180,000,000 of German capital invest- ed in American railroads, not to say how much there is in American breweries and how much we invest in this German brew- ed American beer. —DREYFUS seems to be getting gay sicce his return to France. He now proposes to appear before the court of cassation as the accuser, instead of the accused. Whether the change will do the prosecuted Jew any good remains to be seen. —Its not what Governor HASTINGS did for him the last time he was a candidate that Judge LOVE need bother about now. Its what he’ll do to him the next time that “‘his honor’ will have reason to give some thought, when his thinker gets to working properly again. —The sad(?) sad(?) news has just been made public that Secretary ALGER intends to resign just as soon as he has made a re- port on the conduct of his department. We suppose that some great lime or white washing trust is about to be formed and he has been offered the presidency of the cor- poration. —Don’t you see, brothers LovE and CeAMBERS and DALE, that all that glitters is not gold; The former Governor wants you to see with his eyes, if your own are blinded by the gilded rays of that old Quay gold brick. He went after it, him- self, once and they say that a child once burnt has a mortal dread of the fire. —CGranting that it be true that Populism is dying out in the West, what is there in that to indicate that Mr. BRYAN is not as popular asever? He never was a Populist. His attitude toward Democracy has always been of the cleanest cut and the fact that the Populists were able to endorse him for President only goes to prove that he was a man capable of inspiring the faith of all parties. —Entomologists, having discovered a new bug that springs into life every time the osculatory organs of two persons come in contact, have been considerably put out to find just what class in which it might be properly classed fer biologists of the future. The name for it seemed to come without thought, for with ene accord all persons said its name should be Hop- SON. —The visit of the German Emperor, to that French training ship is hailed by the nations of Europe, as a truce to the French, who have been fawning over the Germans for years, with the hope of making up their differences of the past. = Whatever may bave been the real motives of the bump- tious young war lord of Germany in doing as he did it looks very much as if he were really paving the way to visit the Paris ex- position in 1900. —President HAVEMEYER, of the sugar trust, still maintains that trusts are the offsprings of the tariff and now Senator JoNEs, of Nevada, has come out with the announcement of his discovery that they are the progeny of . the gold standard. While the two distinguished men have traced the origin of this pernicious growth upon our institutions by different dams there is no gainsaying the fact that the Re- publican party is the sire. —The allusion which Mr. GEORGE NOX McCAIN made to the gold brick swindle in his now famous letter to the Philadel- phia Press concerning Centre county poli- tics was probably inspired by the bitter ex- perience the former Governor had when he thought he was going to be made a United States Senator. Experience is a dear teach- er and it is little wonder that the former Governor is solicitous about judge Love and Mr. DALE now, though he is the last man in the world who ought to point the finger of scorn at them for playing for an evanescent glittering treasure. —The Cubans are learning Republican methods fast. At Bayamo the merchants combined to raise the price of food stuffs to an unreasonable figure immediately upon learning that six thousand of their fellow patriots had arrived in that place to lay down their arms and be paid off. This is the first evidence of studiousness on the part of our new acquisition and is sure to £0 a long way toward carrying favor with the Republicans. Any people who catch onto the idea of trusts, monopolies and syndicates so readily are surely ripe for ad- mission to this monopoly dominated Re- public. & CHT 2 1 - Lwaqry oyuig vy : Ss, A STATE RIGHTS AND FEDERAL UNION. — VOL. 44 Put Them on Record. A few of our cotemporaries, that have expressed an opinion on the suggestion of a mandamus to compel the Secretary of State to advertise and submit, to the voters of the Commonwealth, the amendments to the constitution proposed by the last Leg- islature, are of the belief that such a pro- ceeding would prove futile. Possibly, with the machinery of the State govern- ment, the courts and the judges, all under the control of the QUAY machine, it would. But this is not the reason given by these papers for their belief. They assert that because the Secretary has not avowed his purpose not to do his duty, in this matter, no mandamus would issue, for the reason that the offense, which such proceeding was purposed to prevent, had not heen commit- ted. Itis the same reason Mr. CLINTON RoDGERS WOODRUFF, who advertises him- self as attorney for the Business Men's League, gives as his excuse for failing to be- gin such proceedings. To the writer, who knows little about the technicalities of the law and less about the rules of the courts, thisseems like queer reasoning. If a mandamus means any- thing at all, or is of any use, it is to re- quire the performance of a duty, just as an injunction is to restrain from the commit- ment of a wrongful or illegal act. Both are legal proceedings recognized and re- sorted to to prevent the commission of wrongs. Both are based almost wholly upon the INTENT. If the duty has to be neglected or the wrong committed before proceedings can be had to enforce the one, or restrain the other, then both proceedings are the verriest farces. Such an interpre- tation of the authority of the courts would render them powerless to prevent the com- mission of any crime; it would prevent ail arrests on suspicion and stay all legal pro- ceedings until the wrong had heen perpe- trated or the crime committed. Surely no sane lawyer or no just judge would bold to such a dangerous doctrine. This question of a mandamus on Secre- tary GRIEST is one of intent—and the in- tent in this case is as clear as could be shown in any case. No condition of affairs can arise, except through an order from the court, under which the Secretary of State could submit the amendments, as is his duty. His superior officer has arrogated the authority to veto them. In this mat- ter the Secretary was consulted and it is said coincided. But whether he was con- sulted or not he is bound to accept the au- thority of the power that made him, or re- sign. The commonest kind of political amenities would require this, and he is not going to resign. The only other thing for him to do is what the Governor wants and demands, and he demands the recognition of his veto as final and conculsive. That there will he no amendments sub- mitted, unless the courts are called upon to interfere and compel their submission. is justas certain to-day as is the fact of the Governor's interference by veto. That veto meant that the people should not have the opportunity to change or amend their or- ganic law. It was a monstrous assump- tion of authority on the part of the Gover- nor, but he arrogated it; and he must be a gullible citizen, indeed, who imagines that the Governor’s action will be over-ridden aud rendered null by one of his appointees, and especially one who wants to hold the place for what there is in it. Possibly the courts, which are largely the creations of the State ring, would make the excuse that lawyer WOODRUFF and the few newspapers, referred to, presume they would, and refuse to grant a mandamus. But that is a question for them to deter- mine. Presumptions have no right to set- tle so important a matter.” It is the duty of some one—and we take it to be that that some one is the Democratic State Committee —to present this matter to the courts. If they stultify themselves that is their look- out. If they violate precedent, deny the rights of the people, commit an outrage that other outrages may be perpetuated, and determine that mandamus proceedings can only he instituted after the wrong they are intended to prevent has been com- mitted, let them do so. It is a record they will hesitate tomake. ——From the way the Republican con- gressional steering committee had to fight it out up at Narraganset Pier a few days ago it is beginning to look as if they are not going to have as smooth sledding on the currency question as they thought they were. The Democrats are unalterably for remonetization of silver, but the poor old Republicans are just beginning to discover that they don’t know where they are at. ——No matter how others may object to dragging the judicial ermine through the dirt and disgrace of local politics, ex- Gov. HASTINGS has no such scruples. He is willing to drag Judge Lovr’s ermine, and for that matter anything else he has on, through any dirt that he can find, and then wouldn’t think that he was adding a particle to its defilement. BELLEFONTE, PA., JULY 21, 1 = Alger Will Resign. Current and fairly well authorized re- ports indicate that Secretary of War Rus- SEL A. ALGER has consented to resign his office on the first of January next. This promise was obtained from Secretary ALGER by the importunities of Secretary of State JOHN HAY and Secretary of the Treasury LYMAN J. GAGE. Mr. HAY and Mr. GAGE pointed out to Mr. ALGER that there is a great deal of adverse criticism of the ad- ministration on his account and that the President is greatly embarrassed by it. That being the case the gentleman warned Mr. ALGER tnat he ought to resign, and he, unless the reports are false or mislead- ing, reluctantly consented, that is to say he agreed, that if he is allowed to continue in office for six months longer, he will then resign. Under these circumstances the country must submit to another six months of ALGERISM with all the blunders and sacri- fices and humiliations it implies. Until the first of next January the lives of our citizen soldiers in the tropical trenches about Manila, must be jeopardized by the faults of an incapable Secretary of War. And why? For the reason that President McKIN- LEY doesn’t dare to compel him to resign at once. And why? Because ALGER bought and paid for the place he occupies as much as he has the clothes he wears or the furniture of the house he lives in. ALGER contributed to the payment of McKINLEY’S personal debts in considera- tion of the opportunity to reimburse him- self by army contracts, and though ALGER’S blunders and venality ‘‘have embarrassed the President,’’ as Senators HAY and GAGE state it, he was unable to relieve himself because the mortgage on his manhood is “still alive,” as the legal phrase puts it. Meantime the country must suffer the consequences of ALGER’S incompetency be- cause of McKINLEY’S obligations to him. Happily, party exigencies force relief at the end of six months, for HAY and GAGE have interferred, not in the interest of the people, not in order to secure the soldiers in the Philippines against the perils which official blundering subject them to, but for the reason that the time for the presi- dential election is approaching and Mec- KINLEY wants to be re-elected. How ALGER has been influenced to resign has not been stated. Maybe he has been prom- ised a reappointmentafter the election, and possibly somebody else has repaid him the money he expended to relieve Mr. McKIN- LEY of financial obligations. In any event theselfishness of a political huckster is re- vealed in every step of the transaction. Since the above was in type, ALGER has been induced, hy vice President HOBART, to send in his resignation at once. He has done so. It is to take effect at the pleas- ure of the President. Now let McKINLEY follow his example. The Extra Session Talk. The rumors of an extra session of the Legislature have been revived though in a form that will hardly deceive any one. That is as published the story is so mani- festly made to order that its effect could be certain to be discounted at sight. The Philadelphia papers bad it dated Pittsburg and representing a change of sentiment in the interest of QUAY in the Western coun- ties, while the Pittsburg papers of the same day published a Philadelphia dispatch in- dicating a change of opinion to the advan- tage of QUAY in the Eastern counties. The truth is that there has heen no change of sentiment on the subject at all. WARD R. Biss,” Representative for Dela- ware county, publicly declared his regrets for having voted against QUAY the other day, but that impressed nobody. Any day during the last month of the session his manner revealed the fact to any one who took the trouble to study him, and where- ever the alleged QUAY hoodlers were gath- ered together he walked past them with both hands behind his back. But no atten- tion was paid to him then by the Quay folks or none will be paid to him now by the others. ‘Representative MCELVANY has indicated a change of heart also, he has no mind to change, but that is the result of a little liberty he is indulging himself in during the absence abroad of Senator FLINN. When the Senator returis he will proba- bly spank his impudent henchman,and that will be the last of his pretensions to inde- pendence. E There will be no extra session of the Legislature unless assurances are given in advance that QUAY will be elected, and the only chance for that is in the plan sug- gested by the WATCHMAN some time ago. That is for the QUAY convention to nomi- nate insurgents for Justice of the Supreme court, Judge of the Superior coart and State Treasurer and then show them that they can only be elected by harmonizing the party through the election of QUAY. That will bring your insurgents to the line. There is nothing so grateful to his heart as party spoils, and when there is such a thing in sight he will throw not only conscience but principle to the dogs and rally around the old flag and the appropriation. LEY! 6 mar Some Washington Secrets. Mr. Smite D. FRY, the Washington correspondent of the Philadelphia Zimes, has heen writing a good deal of history lately. Mr. FRY probably doesn’t aspire to be known as a historian and sets up no pretense at all to being a maker of history, but he is where history is being made, and evidently not only a close but intelligent observerof events, and he has, what all newspaper men ought to have, the courage to tell what he sees. Because of these facts Mr. FRY has been giving the public a good deal of light on the dark places in Wash- ington. He has been revealing some of the secrets not only of the Navy and War De- partments but of the White House itself. Among the revelations recently made by Mr. FRY is the statement that RUSSELL A. ALGER is not responsible for the snubs and humiliations put upon General NELsoN A. MILES, commander of the armies of the United States since the beginning of the Spanish war. Not the least of the public indictments against the Secretary of War was that he was responsible for these out- rages. Even MILES himself shared in the opinion. But Mr. FRY shows that it is an erroneous view of the case. President Mec- KINLEY is himself responsible for every incident of the kind that has offended the public sense of right and justice since the event at Santiago about a year ago. In his letter to the Philadelphia Times ot last Sunday Mr. FRY treats of this ques- tion at length. After reciting some con- temptible incidents, such as that by order of the President the mail of the War De- partment is withheld while MILEs is act- ing under the law as Secretary, he quotes an official as saying that ‘“WiLLram Me- KINLEY does not believe that any citizen has the right to aspire to the Presidency while he has the bee in his bonnet.”” In other words Wy. McKINLEY has not scrupled to sacrifice the interests of the country, and the lives of the soldiers, in order to prevent Gen. MILES from making such a record in the war as would proba- bly make him a formidable candidate for President of the United States in 1900. This is putting a low estimate on the character and patriotism of Wi. McKIN- But it isan estimate amply justified by the facts. From the beginningfof his course he has pursued a selfish and not al- ways an honorable course. Take for ex- ample the facts in the financial transaction which put him under obligations to MARK HANNA and RUSSELL A. ALGER. He whiringly informed the public that he was an innocent indorser, of the paper of theadventurer in the case, and practically solicited popular subscriptions to re-imburse him for his losses. But as a matter of fact he was a partner in the business that proved disastrous. ? In that case he not only obtained public sympathy, under false pretenses, but se- cured contributions of money by fraudulent representations which is a crime under the law. His partner was given over to pub- lic reprobation, with his consent and con- currence, and he made political capital out of the other man’s misfortunes and was enabled through it to negotiate with MARK HANNA and ALGER to make him Presi- dent. That is why ALGER is able to hang on to the administration now notwithstand- ing public condemnation and personal preference the other way. McKINLEY doesn’t dare to remove him. Risking Impea chment, Mr. Secretary of State, ELW0OD GRIEST, may think there is no way by which he can be compelled to do his duty, and submit to the people the constitutional amend- ments proposed by the last Legislature. Probably there is not. But Mr. GRIEST should not forget that there isa way to punish for an offense such as his failure to fulfil the plain requirements of the law would be. The constitution is plain and unequivocal on the subject, and he is sworn to obey and defend it. The organic law of the State, Article 18th, Section one, provides that when any pro- posed amendment ‘‘shall be agreed to by a majority of the members elected to each House such proposed amendment or amend- ments shall be entered on their journals with ayes and nays taken thereon, and the Secretary of the Commonwealth shall cause the same to be published three months be- fore the next general election in at least two newspapers in every county.” It will be noticed that the Governor’s name is not mentioned in connection with the proceedings necessary to amend the con- stitution. Hence his attempt to interfere, by interposing a veto, was simply an as- sumption of power without precedent or authority of law. It will also be noticed that the language is mandatory. It does not say the Secretary, may, or can, cause the same to be published, but that ke shall do so. . To fail to do that which the constitution requires is to take the chances of impeach- ment and removal from office. Is Secretary GRIEST willing to take this risk ? 9. NO. 28. Against These From Principle. From the York Gazette, Our contemporary, the Dispatch, seems to think it has made a strong point in charging the Democratic party with really being against protection under pretence of being against the trusts. We were not aware that there was any question in any- one's mind about the Democratic party be- ing against protection. It has expressly so declared in more than one national plat- form, and it stands to-day just where it stood before. This issue was so overshadowed by the money question in 1896 that it was deliber- ately put in the background because no- body bad anything to say about it at that time. But now the trusts, or at any rate most of them, afford such fine examples of the species of highway robbery made possi- ble by protection, that it is natural the old issue should again come to the front and receive the attention it deserves. The Democratic party is against all of the trusts, whether they derive their monopoly from the tariff or not. But it seems to be determined to take away from those which flourish by means of the tariff the special privileges they now enjoy. To do this they intend, if they secure the power, to put every trust-made product on the free list. That seems to be the general trend of Democratic sentiment at this time. In fact it seems to be the trend of the senti- ment of nine-tenths of the American people. Protection is mo longer desired by the very men who'contributed most largely to secure the passage of such outrageous mea- sures-as the present McKinley law. They want foreign markets now, and they realize that the tariff is a great stumbling block in their road. In course of time our esteemed con- temporary itself will be talking about pro- tection having had its day, being no longer needed, etc., ete., in company with most of the other organs of its party. No, the Democrats are not against pro- tection under the pretence of opposing trusts. They are against hoth protection and the trosts, and they are going to try to kill two birds with one stone next year. Not of the Resigning Kind. From the Pittsburg Dispatch. While predictions concerning the resig- nation of Alger may be classed as ‘‘extra- hazardous’’ it is a safe conclusion that the President would not hesitate long about accepting his resignation if it were offered. The manner in which the Secretary has re- cently been ignored in Administration councils is very signifficiant. The calling of Governor Roosevelt for consultation by the President must have been very humiliating to the head of the War Depar nt, if he has any sense of the eternal fitness of things. But as to whether these things will induce Alger to resign, that is another question. The roast-beef statesman from Michigan has displayed, in the past, a remarkable in- difference to public opinion, and it cannot be safely assumed that he will not be equally impervious to hints from official quarters. His alliance with Pingree and his subsequent denial of the alliance afford strong proof that his ideas of the fitness of things are far from the normal, though his intention to cling to the Cabinet was not then shaken. In fairness to Alger it may be said, however, that after his mal-admin- istration of department affairs was over- looked and whitewashed, he had some ground for believing that his lesser faults in the field of politics might be excused. How Justice Varies. From the North American. Captain John M. Neall, Fourth cavalry, while stationed at San Francisco, disap- peared, and $1600 of the mess fund, of which he was in charge, was missing along with him. Drink had mastered Captain Neall. When he recovered his sober senses, he found himself in Mexico. At once re- turning, he refunded the money, with the assistance of friends, and, like a man, faced the consequences of his debauch. The court-martial convicted him of conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman, and the President has confirmed the ver- dict, ordering his dismissal in disgrace from the army. This is hard, but it serves Captain Neall right. His life is ruined utterly, of course, but then it is more important that the standard of honor in the service should be maintained than that any man should es- cape the penalty of misdeeds, even of a kind for which charity can find excuses. Meantime Captain Carter, convicted by a court-martial in 1898 of stealing $1,600,- 000—just $1,598,400 more than Captain Neall took and returned—has not had the sentence of dismissal and five years’ im- prisonment executed upon him. On the contrary, Captain Carter is still in the en- joyment of his rank, full pay and entire leisure. Mr. Bryan and New issues. From the Altoona Times. William J. Bryan is the leader of the Democratic party and he fills the position in a brilliant manner, but so far he has not been successful. There is no reason, how- ever, why he should not win success if he will deal in a wise and practical manner with the present conditions and make his campaign for the presidency on issues that will be approved by the majority of the American voters. The silver question is not the great issue now and it may be drop- ped. Instead of battling for the free coin- age of the white metal, at the ratio of six- teen to one, Mr. Bryan should wage war- fare on trusts and on that which produces them, a monopoly tariff. These are evils which should be combated. They are close- ly related, and, as Havemeyer declared, the monopoly tariff is the mother of trusts. Then there is one other issme. Itis im- perialism and militarism. Mr. Bryanisa man well-fitted to lead, his personal quali- ties win support and he is able to a re- markable extent. For the leadership of a great party he is well endowed, but to win the Democracy must be united and har- monious. ——1If you want fine work done of every description the WATCHMAN is the place to have it done. collector Dickson, Spawls from the Keystone. —The York banks have $4,000,000 on de- posit. —R.
