VOL. 46 BELLEFONTE, PA., OCTOBER The Withdrawal of Palm. The withdrawal of Hon. A. J. PALM, as the candidate of the Democratic party for State Treasurer, practically assures the fusion of all the political elements of the State that favor honest government, against the candidate of the QUAY machine. Asa matter of fact in the nature of things fusion was inevitable from the beginning. Events have been leading up to it for years and leading Democrats and Independent Re- publicans have alike contributed to the re- sult. Fusion failed at the organization of the Legislature in 1899 only because the combined vote of the Democrats and Insur- gents was inadequate to compass the defeat of the QUAY machine in the House of Rep- resentatives. It failed at the organization of the Legislature of 1901 for the reason that some recreant Democrats proved treacherous. The withdrawal of PALM and the substitution of CORAY is the logical sequence of these failures. In his letter to the members of the Dem- ocratic state central committee, conveying the information of his withdrawal, Mr. PALM recites the reasons which influenced him to his course in language that is alike forceful, timely and eloquent. ‘‘I am con- vinced that the Democratic sentiment of the State is strongly in favor of uniting our strength with that of the Independent Re- publicans,”’ he declares, ‘‘in what promises to be a successful contest against the politic- al organization which is so lost to all sense of honor and shame as to endorse the last Legislature in a state platform.”” En- tertaining such views there was nothing for Mr. PALM to do other than that which he has done. Because of that conviction he writes ‘‘I deem it my duty as a citizen, as well as a candidate. to make the way clear for a fusion ticket.” In that he is both unselfish and patriotic. It is the act of an honest and earnest man. Whatever opinions may have been en- tertained of fusion hitherto, in the light of existing circumstances all must agree that it is the wise course to pursue now. As should ‘cheerfully acquiesce in the judg- ment of the majority.”’ That hae always been our idea of party and patriotic duty and when, as Mr. PALM adds, ‘‘the prinei- | .ples of the decalogue itself are forced upon us as the guage ‘of battle and we are called upon to decide whether bribery, perjury and general political corruption shall be rebuked or whether they shall be willfully endorsed at the ballot box,’ there is no al- ternative for men who have the preserva- tion of popular government and the pros- perity of the people at heart. What Mr. PALM says of Representative CORAY is like- wise literally true. During a service in the Legislature covering three sessions he has been the WARWICK in the cause of re- form and honest government. No man of any party has worked more persistently to encompass the destruction of machine rule and we, as Democrats, can readily support him or such a basis. Roosevelt and the Machine. The signs of an impending break between President ROOSEVELT and such leaders of his party as HANNA, PLATT and QUAY are multiplying. Herecently gave them some- thing like a shock by declaring that he be- lieved in the merit rather than the partisan test in making appointments to office. The new President’s long service in the civil service commission gave a peculiar signifi- cance to the statement and a corresponding uneasiness to the machine. But an an- nouncement which he subsequently made to the effect that he will appoint Democrats to office, when no fit Republicans are pre- sented, is even more startling. Such a policy would be had for the politic- al machine but it is not certain thas it would have the same effect on the party or on the President. Infact it may be con- jectured that the abuses in the appointment of public officials under the partisanship test has about reached the stage which pro- vokes revolution in public sentiment and compels a reversal. ROOSEVELT is just the sort of man that would act the pioneer in the new system and if the party organiza- tion drives him too far, as it is more than likely to do, he may throw it overboard al- together. As a matter of fact he did that in the case of the District Attorney of Kansas. No doubt the President’s first thought in making appointments, as in other things, will be the public ‘welfare, but he will not through it all remove his eyes from the fact that he desires a nomination and election to the office which he now fills as the result of a national tragedy. If therefore it should appear to his mind that the strict adherence to the merit system in appoint- ments, or the selection of Democrats where fit Republicans had ‘not been presented, would promote hig ambition for an election it may be confidently predicted that he would adopt the policy promptly and ad- here to it tenaciously. —It is only three weeks from next Tuesday until the people will have an, op- portunity of showing their condemnation of machine methods and machine manage- mens. Quay Building Up False Hopes. Senator QUAY expresses confidence that President ROOSEVELT will support the “organization” in this State, which is sur- prising. The Senator bases his opinion on the fact that ROOSEVELT has always heen an organization man in the past, but that only shows that the ‘‘old man’’ is becom- ing credulous. In other words Mr. ROOSE- VELT'S attachment to organizations that were decent before he became President is no reason why he should or evidence that he will give the benefit of his support toa band of pirates, claiming to be an organiza- tion, since he acquired that great distinc- tion. Besides his present associations in- dicate that he is not in sympathy with the ‘organization’ in this State. His Post- master General is not supporting the organ- jzation and if the President were not in ac- cord with him there would be what Senator TELLER characterized as ‘‘a parting of the ways.”’ DAVID H. LANE, of Philadelphia, de- fined the organization of Pennsylvania in his speech the other evening. He said : The cohesive power of the organization is the offices. There are 10,000 of them at thefdisposal of the organization. The Poles, Hebrews, Hungarians, Italians and other foreigners who come here vote with us be- cause we control the offices, They want favors, and know they cannot get them unless they are with us. The organizaticn is strong because it controls the offices which contribute all that goes to make it strong. Without the offices this great organ- ization would crumble and fall. Mr. LANE spoke of Philadelphia but he manifestly meant Pennsylvania. The head of the Philadelphia organization is QUAY and ISRAEL W. DURHAM is his executive officer. The head of the state organization is QUAY and DURHAM is his executive of- ficer. Therefore the two organizations are identical, except for a difference in some of the subordinate officers. That is to say in the state organization JOHN P. ELKIN occupies the position which Mr. LANE fills in the Philadelphia organization. Does Senator QUAY expect any self- respecting man to affiliate with such a combination of robbers and black-mailers as Mr. LANE describes the Philadelphia organization to be? Daring the recent session of the Legislature FRANK G. HAR- RIS, the candidate of the Republican or- ‘ganization for State Treasurer, was a con- spicuous supporter of every job which was presented in the interest of the machine. He led in the fight for the atrocious: ‘‘rip- per”’ legislation and in the infamous raid on the rights of the people as expressed in the vicious measures for grabbing franchises. According to Mr. LANE he is the candidate of the organization and if the President supports him he must endorse every line of his wretched record in the Legislature and out of it. QUAY must know that Presi- dent ROOSEVELT will not do that. He must be aware that such a man must be abhorrent to the President and in alleging that the President will support the organ- ization he slanders the Chief Magistrate of the country, or if he does not the people are woefully deceived in the lamented Mc- KINLEY'S successor. A Practical View. Representative SHAFRoTH, of Colorado who has just returned from the Philippines, where he spent four months investigating conditions, has given the public his views. Mr. SHAFROTH was first elected to Con- gress as a Republican in 1894 but left that party to join the forces of the Silver Re- publicans after the nomination of McKIN- LEY and the declaration for the gold stand - ard. Bat in everything else than the mon- ey question he is still a Republican and is not averse to expansion on the Republican plan. But he isa man of keen business intelligence and discusses the question of the retention of the Asiatic islands with peculiar clearness and force. Peace is practically restored in the Philip- pines, Mr. SHAFROTH declares, and except in one of the unimportant islands the con- aquest of the natives is complete. But it has cost more than the property is worth. The present expenditure, he adds, is about $75,000,000 a year and though the land is fertile and resources great it will be im- possible to recover the vast sums that have been expended. Even after peace is com- pletely established, be continues, 30,000 men will be required to garrison the terri- tory so as to preserve order and therefore the expense will equal the gain for all time and there will be nothing left as recompense for the labor or compensation for the risk. There is probably no use in further dis- cussing the moral side of the question. Until the military spirit, which has grown up in the country during the past few years, subsides conquest will be the ruling passion among the people. Right or wrong, until toe change which is certain comes, the people of this country will favor the reten- tion of the Philippines unless they are in- fluenced by other considerations to another view of the subject. For that reason the opinion of Mr. SHAFROTH is valuable. It appeals to the most potent power in the American heart. ——Subseribe for the WATCHMAN. 11. 1901. “NO. 40. » A Plain Duty Now. Today, Friday, fusion between the Demo- crats and Independent Republicans of the State will be formally effected at Harris- burg. The Democratic state committee meets there for the purpose of accepting the resignation of Mr. PALM, Democratic candidate for State Treasurer, and sub- stituting for his name upon the ticket that of Mr. CorAY, an Independent Republi- can. As to the wisdom of this act there are many Democrats who have grave doubts. Some, because they hesitate to cast their vote for a Republican, others be- cause they question the legality of the nomination in the face of the resolution passed by the Democratic state convention, instructing the state committee to fill any vacancy that might occur by the nomina- tion ef a Democratic candidate and others because of the effect failure or success of the movement may have upon the ques- tion of fusion next fall, when the issues to be determined will be of vastly more im- portance than are those of the present campaign. Whatever the wisdom or effect of this movement this fall may be there is but one course now for loyal Democrats to pursne— that is to support the ticket with the same honesty and earnestness that they would one of their own making. As to the fitness of the two candidates for the Supreme court bench there can be no question. Mr. YERKES is so far above the leaky POTTER in legal ability, in honesty, in integrity and judicial training that no comparison between the two men can be made, while Mr. CORAY is so vastly superior to the machine heeler, FRANK HARRIS, that he would be a queer voter who ‘would hesitate for a moment as to which of these should receive his ballot. It is not a question now between Democrats and Republicans. The issue is between the people of the State and the machine and he who hesitates to vote for YERKES and CORAY simply assists the machine in its efforts to maintain its grip upon the Com- monwealth. A$ Demociats we may doubt the wisdom of fusion at this time much as we have a mind to, but under the circumstances our duty is plain and positive—and that is to _as8'i8 In breaking the power of the ring hy voting the ticket that is opposed to it.

ALGER'S book,so long looked for—, is out at last and if theadvance sheets pub- lished in the papers the other day are rep- resentative of the work, it will be most in- teresting. Asa rule books predicated on spite are not of much value. Senator SHERMAN’S memories, issued a short time before he and General ALGER became mem- bers of the same presidential family,greatly disappointed popular expectation, because it was made a sort of sluice way to drain- off his enmities. SHERMAN was a man of extraordinary. ability and if he failed in such an enterprise it can hardly be expeot- ed that ALGER will succeed. Still meas- ured by the demand for the work this new- est contribution to the literature of hate will be a success, for the indications are that there will be an enormous demand for it. ALGER’S book is the sequel of the em- balmed beef controversy which followed the Spanish war. General MILES made the charge, upon his return from Porto Rico, that the troops under his command there and in Cuba had been rationed by meat that had been preserved by the proc- esses used in embalming dead bodies, or similar processes. This led to an investi- gation which resulted in ‘‘cashiering’’ Com- missary General EGAN and the forced re- tirement of General ALGER from the office of Secretary of War. The beef trust which supplied the poisoned meat was vindicated, as most people believe, under orders from the administration, while ALGER was sulk- ing into retirement. He was the cleanest of the lot but became the ‘‘scape goat,"’ likewise under orders. His book is his medium of getting even with all concerned. The book ‘‘calls a spade a spade,” we are led to infer by curiously glancing over the advance sheets. It denounces General Miles in unsparing terms and accuses Ad- miral SAMPSON of lying and other things that wouldn't look well in a family news- paper. The publication was delayed on ac- coant of the death of President McKINLEY and some changes in text were made neces- sary by that tragedy,so that it may be con- jectured that under other circumstances he would have come in for a share of criticism. Or it may be that the elevation of Presi- dent ROOSEVELT made it necessary to alter the references to him. ROOSEVELT was the real originator of the scandal which cul- minated in ALGER’S retirement. It was he who got up the famous ‘‘Round Robin’ which was the beginning of ALGER'’S troubles. ——Former county commissioner and recorder James Strohm is being urged by some of his friends to be a candidate for county superintendent of schools. “the island of Samar Time to Waken Up, Democrats! Now that the party leaders have succeed- ed in making a fusion with the Independ- ent Republicans and in exposing the divid- -ed and doubtful conditions of the Phila- delphia Democracy, it might be well if they would takea few days off and ascertain just how much life there is in the party organizations throughout the State. It is true that our knowledge may be limited as to the condition of Democratic organiza- tions outside of the city of Philadelphia, but, if we are not mistaken in our reading of the signs of the times, there is less inter- est being taken by the masses this fall in the political sitmation than has been for many, many years. At no time or at no place do we hear politics discuss- ed. Men meet and talk over the ordinary occurrences of the day but when asked as to the political situation in their neighbor- hood the universal response is ‘‘there is no politics this fall.”” This does not augur well for a full vote and without a full vote on the part of the Democrats, as well as of tiie Independent Republicans, there will be little chance to do more than lessen the usual Republican majority in the State, Those charged with the welfare of the party have possibly been doing their best to strengthen its organization and secure good results at the polls by their efforts to heal factional troubles in Philadelphia, and secure the co-operation of honest Republi- caus, but what will the fifty or hundred thousand votes made in this way avail if twice that many Democrats throughout the country should, through carelessness or lack of interest, remain away from the polls. There are but little over three weeks left until the election, there is much to be done in that time if the Democratic vote is to be gotten to the polls and while we have full faith in those managing the campaign we would suggest, in all earnest- ness, that the remaining days of the ‘cam- paign be devoted to this purpose and this alone. Not an Easy Task. From the Pittsburg Post. pt The cost of holding on to the Philippines is made manifest by the fact that General Chaffee is to take vigorous measures to punish the natives who took part in the massacre of Company C, Ninth infan nied plan tenon campaign of vengeance will be a risky and arduous undertaking. The bholomen of Samar seem to be a very different type from the more civilized Filipinos that were under Aguinaldo. This was not their first successful attack on American soldiers. A little over a year ago they raided one of our posts and killed 19 soldiers and wound- ed 5. They are courageous and daring, and intrepid in the use of their bolos or knives, with which they are very effective in close quarters. There are about half a million of them on theisland of Samar, which is as large as the State of Ohio, very mountainous and a very difficult region for American troops to operate in. We sup- pose General Chaffee can take vengeance by killing two or three hundred of the bolomen but that accomplished we will be where we started. There are millions of Filipinos on the islands, and the killing of a few hun- dred doesn’t count. It is believed all the islands are a network of conspiracy and intrigue. No one will be surprised by out- breaks at any time. With the Traitors. From the Philadelphia Record. It will be found that there is no room anywhere 10 the Democratic party of Penn- sylvania for traitors and traders. The Democratic executive committee of Adams county has formally repudiated M. A. Gar- vin, who voted for the machine speaker of the House and subsequently absented him- self, unpaired, from the election for United States Senator. In York county the Demo- cratic convention, under certain sinister influences, some time ago approved the three traitors who also voted with Garvin for the machine. But as The Record cor- respondence shows, the Democratic masses of York county ars now thoroughly aroused against these traitors to the party, and favor fusion on the state ticket for Yerkes and Coray. The little *‘Jeffersonian” ring opposed to fusion will make a small figure in the election. Out The Milk in the Cocoanut. From the Easton Argus. According to the Republican machine in this State the ‘‘yellow journals’’ are those that do not remain quiet while the -adher- ents of the machine are engaged in the in- teresting occupation of plundering the peo- ple. They are doing their best to turn the ory against sensational journalism to their own account, but the attempt does no more than call attention to the greatest sensation of all as evidenced in a corrupt Legislature and a band of machine plunderers of the people. No paper could print a true ac- count of tha acts of that Legislature, of the machine and of the disreputable inter-party combines to rob the public without laying itself open to the machine provoked charge of publishing sensations and dilating upon rascality.

Now that there is a growing pros- pect of comparatively friendly relations between China and the powers, he feels almost convalescent. When matters look dark and threatening, the earl was scarcely expected to recover, Bret Harte knew his individual when he wrote that ‘‘For ways that are dark and tricks that are vain,’’ the heathen Chinese is peculiar.’’ Earl Liis a superb diplomat, but he bas all the charac- teristics of his race nevertheless.
