BY P. GRAY MEEK. ———————————————————S : Ink Slings. —Most of the papers of Pennsylvania are seizing time by the fore-iock and telling the Governor what they think of him be- fore he signs his pet muzzler. —This is the time of year when a thrifty man or woman has a chance to make their mark in the world. Lots of fences and little houses need white-washing. —The good roads question is being in- jected into vational politics. Doubtless there are many possibilities who would like to strike a good road to the white house. —The hog that pollutes public places with great puddles of spit may continue its filthy progress, for the Governor has vetoed the bill making it a erime to spit in public conveyances and on the streets. —T¢ is strange that just when the War Department permits the lifting the lid that has been kept nailed down. tight on the Philippine atrocities the administration or- gaps should unite in the assertion that the incident is closed. 2 —The manner in which Japan bristles up as Russian encroachments in Manchuria appear is a warning to the Bear that the lit tle brown men, who displayed such un- expected bravery and craft in the Chinese trouble, have more of it left for another emergency. —AL ApAMs, the New York policy King, has gone to prison. All of his mil- lions wouldn’t save him. The gray and black stripes of Sing Sing will appear very different to the slick gambler from the red and black that he has been playing so many years. ——1I¢ will be interesting to watch into w hich camp the Republican falls. Brother TUTEN is nothing, if not a Republican, but then as both LovE and REEDER are Repub- licans it will be rather bard for him to de- cide which of them is the least of the two evils. —When Governor PENNYPACKER vetoed the bill making on additional law judge for Cambria county he spoiled a nice little game concocted by a party of politicians who were sore because the people of that county had gotten ‘‘onto their game” as early as lass fall. —When Governor PENNYPACKER dis- covered that the bill to protect bears pro- tected them even so far that a woodsman could not kill one with an ax, even though it attacked him when he had no other means of defense, he decided to swing his little ax himself acd the bill was vetoed. ——The calibre of the American girl who permits a titled nothing from the other side to tell her how much money she must give him to spend before he will consent to marry her is not the kind that will make us feel that we have lost very much to England in the recent YARMOUTH-THAW wedding. : — People who quibble because. ANDREW C ARNEGIE gave only $600,000 to Tuskegee institute and BoOKER WASHINGTON, the n egro educator, when he gave double as much to erect a peace hall for the The Hague tribunal to meet in, do so in very bad taste. What if Mr. CARNEGIE bad not given a cent to Tuskegee? It would h ave heen far worse off than it is, and he would not bave been the object of such silly criticism. —The fate that overtook the newly ele cted burgess of Chambersburg is so terri- bie that he will have reason to regret the popularity that eiected him, a Democrat, to the highest office in a Republican bor- ough. After’he was sworn in it was dis- ¢ overed that his popularity had been pur- ch ased by funds he had in trust for other people and he has gone to the eastern penitentiary for eight gears. Such is glory. : —Philadelphia Reformers are now con- soling themselves with the promise that the next Republican state platform will pledge the party to favor the payment of all official fees into the county treasurer. Some people are easily consoled. The same crowd supported Mr. QUAY last fall b ecause he promised ballot reform. They know how much of that they got and yet ' some are ready to swe'lowthis fresh bait. Verily the fools are not all dead. — With the mountains up north of us sho wing signs of bursting forth in yoleanic eruptions and those on the south already working over time in the same direction ‘we can hardly say that we are between the devil and the deep sea. We are between two hells and there doesn’t appear to be any way out of it. A little church Sun- day morning and evening and a little prayer meeting on Wednesday night might make the restless ones a little easier. —There is little use of guarding the Dec- laration of Independence so jealously. What does it matter what becomes of the original instrament over which the fonnd- ers of our government gave the best thought of their liberty loving minds when it has become the policy of the dominant party to pay nomore attention to its prin- ciples than if they were the vaporings of idiots. Quite consistent, isn’t it to lock the Declaration up in a sale to keep it from decay while imperialism ruthlessly tram- ples out the last vestige of its ideals. Com- mercially, the plan may be a good one, for the day is fast approaching when King Trust will pay a fabulous price for the rare old curio that sets forth the imbecilic no- tions of our fore-fathers. He will want it for a race of free people then extinct. | phatically denied and VOL. 48 BELLEFONTE, STATE RIGHTS AND FEDERAL UNION. +7 1, 1903. NO. 18. General Miles Report. The worst that has ever been charged against the conduct of affairs in the Phil- ippines is more than ‘proved by the testi- mony of General MILES, commander of the armies of the country, in_his report of his recent visit to the archipeligo made public the other day. It will hardly he said that his purpose was the vilification of the army. Nobody is likely to allege that his observations are in the nature of stabs in the backs of our soldiers who are perform- ing perilous service for the honor of the flag. Everybody knows that NELSON A. MILES is a model soldier and that what he says on the subject is absolutely true. And yet he has said precisely what the Democratic Senators in Congress said and for the saying of which they were con- demned uosparingly. ; General MILES reports to the Secretary of War that during his brief sojourn in the Philippines he found evidences that the water torture has been inflicted on many of the natives, including clergymen, and that there had been frequent murders of prisoners in custody with the consent if not by the direct orders of officers of rank as high as Major. In one instance Major GLENN ordered Lieutenant CAULFIELD to take eight prisoners out and in the event they didn’t point out the camp of the na- tives ‘‘he was not to bring them back.” Can anybody imagine a more atrociously cruel order than that? No Chinese Boxer or unspeakable Turk has ever been accused of a greater outrage upon humanity. In another case three or four prisoners were tied together and shot or bayonetted to death. Yet we would not condemn the soldiers ‘altogether. The history of savage or semi- savage warfare teaches that such antagon- ists are capable of such cruelty in harrass- ing bodies of soldiers in an ecemy’s coun- try, in a bad climate and under adverse conditions, as to make them absolutely lose that reason which restrains men in rational moments from the perpetration of oruelties. It is the polioy of conquest which has been undertaken, in spite of the traditions of this country and in violation of the principles expressed in the Declara- tion of Independence, to force an alien and unsuitable government upon a people without, their consent and in spite of their protest. . No people are so illiterate as not to feel the impulee of liberty and a yearn- ing for self-government and when we un- dertook to force sovereignty in the Asiastic archipeligo we made cruel masters of our own soldiers and treacherous énemies ' of the natives whose birthrights we were usurping. The Postoflice Scandal. The Postoffice Deparsment scandals in Washington are increasing in interest. One day last week the wife of General TYNER, formerly assistant attorney general for the Department, entered the of- fice previously occupied by her husband and according to Postmaster General PAYNE, with the assistance of a safe ex: pert, opened and rifled the safe of im- portant papers bearing upon the criminality of some of the accused. Thereupon he summarily dismissed the venerable official in a letter in which he charged the lady with burglary. On Monday of this week General and Mrs. TYNER came out ina statement in which the charge is em- the Postmaster General is accused of having ‘‘lost his head.” . Whether the Postmaster General ‘‘got rattled’’ or not or whether the wife of a high official of the government committed burglary in order to destroy evidences of criminality, is of little public concern. If is a matter of importance, however, that the Department over which General TYNER presided bas been under suspicion for more than a year and that until about the 9th of March nothing was done to safeguard the interests of the government or correct the faults in the service. Then, according to the published statensents, General TYNER was asked to resign which he consented to do at his convenience fixing May 1st as the time that wonld be agreeable for him to vacate. The truth of the matter is that while the public service is literally rotten the Post- master General is “working politics’’ and the President is rambling over the country feeding his vanity by crazy exploits and adding to his notoriety by foolish enter- prises. When the Department first learned of the corruption it was the plain duty of the Postmaster General to apply the cor- rectives and in the event of his failure the President ought to have taken the matter in hand. But neither of them was at his post of duty and the result was that the plundering went on uninterrupted until the participants were ready to quit and then they abstracted the evidences of guilt and laughed at the officials. — Those German newspapers that are so elated because American warships have been showing a very" decided tendency to go wrong lately are respectfully referred to recent engagements for proof: that they never go wrong when there is anything else for them to do. * The Humbuggery of It. It may be set down as a certainty that there will be no serious trouble between this country and any other on account of Russia’s attitude in Manchuria. Such in- oidents are always made the subject of some sensational dispatches in the newspapers and during the present administration and its predecessor they have been followed by the claim that Secretary of State HAY has achieved “another great triumph in diplo- macy.”’ But as a matter of fact the inei- dents amount to nothing, and there is no diplomacy involved in the settlement of them. The present affair is no exception to the rule. Russia has been doing some rather ex- tensive railroad building in Manchuria and in other ways developing that portion of the Chinese Empire under ‘‘concessions’’ made by China. The bear that looks like a man, according to RUDYARD KIPLING'S notion, has simply been taking measures to protect his interests and safe-guard his in- vestments and Japan and Great Britain jump to the conclusion that the Chinese Empire is going to be carved up and divid- ed. Secretary HAY humors this foolish no- tion sufficiently to get into the papers as protesting against violation of a pledge to maintain an open door for commerce in China. After 2 while Russia will have secured what she wants in Manchuria and will then invite the United States to come over with any articles of commerce which we happen to have to sell that the Manchurian China- men want to buy and that will be the end of the affair. We will probably go over there all right with a cargo or twoand find no customers and give up the enterprise as. a losing game, but meantime the friends of the administration will boast incessantly of the great achievement in diplomacy which opened up the doors of China to our com- merce. Maybe there are a few gudgeons who will believe that humbuggery. Bogus Love of Soldiers. The interest which the Republican ma- chine has in the veterans of the Civil war when the danger to them comes from the other side challenges admiration. But when a veteran stands in the way of their own party schemes, they brush him aside as ruthlessly as a bald-headed man dis- poses of a pestiferous fly. At present the storm centre of that kind of warfare is Pittsburg. The new Recorder, or as he may now be called the Mayor of that city, baving removed some of the machine ad- herents who happen to have been soldiers of the war of the rebellion, they are threatening to bring suit against him under the provisions of the law which forbids the removal of veterans for political reasons. At the expiration of the term of office of Governor PATTISON in 1895 there was a general clearing out of the officials ap- pointed by him, including soldiers. Some of the Democratic veterans objected and threatened to put the law on the subject to the test, just for curiosity. But they soon found out that the law is invalid. That is to say the concensus of worthy legal opin- ion on the subject was to the effect that the law in question is class legislation and consequently absolutely worthless, at least go far as protecting Democratic veterans. is concerned. The scheme to prosecute under the law was therefore abandoned and the subject has uot been discussed since until now. © dud Four years ago Governor STONE absolute- ly disregarded the law in making his ap- pointments. A conspicuous. case on that occasion was tbat of Captain JoHN C. DELANEY, who was superintendent of public buildings and grounds under the preceding administration. DELANEY was not only a soldier but a ‘‘medal of honor man.” Congress had voted him a trophy for conspicuously gallant service on the battle field. But LARRY EYRE who hadn’t been in the army at all wanted the snug and according to common understanding lucrative berth and the veteran was thrown ont without ceremony and the more effi- ciens politician installed in his place. The. treih is that Republican affection for the soldiers is bosh. , ——With the last issue JoHN C. MILLER retired from the editorial management of the Bellefonte Republican and Daily News. When Mr. MILLER entered the field of journalism several months ago there was considerable speculation as to. what figure he would cut at such an entirely new occu- pation. Suffice it to say that both of the journals under his control have been con- ducted with a dignity and force that has given them a standing they hadn’t enjoyed for many years. Mr. MILLER easily fol- lowed up the plan of improvement begun by Mr. WILBUR HARRIS during the short time he was in charge and leaves the Re- publican knowing that he was anything but a misfit in an editorial chair. Fair and honorable in business competition, aggres- sive and forceful in politics,the WATCHMAN regrets Mr. MILLER'S retirement because it was a pleasure to be associated with him in work even as a business competitor and political foe. : PA., MAY Mr. Hazll is Chairman. The Democratic state central committee wisely elected Senator J. K. P. HALL, of Elk county, as its chairman at a meeting held in Harrisburg, on Wednesday. of last week, and thus makes to the public ear the promise of a vigorous and efficient cam: paign. Senator HALL needs no introdue- tion to the people of Centre county and enlogy upon his fitness for the office to which he has been chosen would be a waste of space in these columns. Every reader of the WATCHMAN aud every citizen of the county knows of his ability, bis ex- perience and his fidelity to the cause of Democracy and that is sufficient. y In welcoming the coming, however, we would be unjust to ourselves as well as faithless to our obligations if we failed to speed the parting chairman. Hon. Wi, T. CREASY, who has filled the important office for two years is as earnest a Democrat as he is a capable and conscientious public ‘gervant. Daring his service at the head of the state committee he has been alike in- "dustrious, faithfal and efficient and during the last campaign created a nucleus of an ‘organization which Mr. HALL will de- velope into complete proportions. The committee was therefore just in expressing appreciation of his services to the party. All thipgs cousidered we can call to mind no recent time in which the outlook for Democracy in Pennsylvania was bright- er than it is at present, in view of the action of the committee at its last meeting. With memories of the iniquities of the last Legislature in mind, with the betrayed promises and dishonored pledges of the Re- publican party in view, it cab hardly be that the people will long endure the domi- nance of the atrocious QUAY machine and the present indications are that the impend-. ing revolution will break before the present calendar year closes. Meantime, it is the duty of every Democrat to help chairman HALL in the work which he bas unselfish- ly and patriotically undertaken. Some Curious Antics, Governor PENNYPACKER is indulging in some strange if not startling antics in his. treatment of the legislation left over for his consideration after the adjournment of. the Legislature. The latest surprise which &e hae given the public in this con- neotion was in the signing of the bill te incr ease the compensation of the chaplains of the two houses from $3 to $6 a day and adding mileage every day. This bill was passed for the benefit of the Rev. Mr. SUL. LIVAN, of Philadelphia, who was chaplain’ of the Senate during the last session and has been promised a re-election for the next session. The machine feels very kind to him. SULLIVAN is a clegyman less distinguish- ed for piety than for some other qualities. He was appointed chaplain at the last or- ganization at the instance of Senator VARE, of Philadelphia. When VARE asked for the favor president pro lem. SCOTT partial- ly promised to oblige him but suggested that the candidate ought to be presented to him. Accordingly VARE brought his candi- date around and is said to bave introduced him in these words : ‘‘Senator ScorT, this is my friend, the Rev. Mr. SULLIVAN and he is a hell of a good fellow.” SULLIVAN had presided at a machine meeting in Phila- del phia one night and declared that re- formers weren’t of much account anyway and the voters might as well stick to the machine candidates. ¢ The Governor has done some other cur- ious things with respect to the signing of bills. For example, he expresses great fear that the appropriations will over tax the treasury and threatens to scale some of the donations to public charities in order to m ake both ends meet. But he signed the bill i nereasing the salaries of Judges though it puts an addition to the cost of the courts amounting to $100,000 and is clear- ly in violation of the constitution which declares that the salary of no public official shall be increased during the term for which he was elected, and the Governor is sworn to support, obey and defend the con- stitution. The Governor has done many other curious things which will be referred to at another time. Party Organization Work. The Democratic state convention will nof be held until September 2nd, this year, which is just one day before the expiration of the legal limit for registration and as- sessment. That being the case, it is obvi- ous that such important campaign work must be performed before the convention. It'is purely local work and devolves on county and school district committees any- the campaign is left until after the state convention and this year if that happeus it will not be performed at all for the reason that there will be no time in which to at- tend to it. : The earlier the organization work of the party is begun the better it is performed. Hasty campaign work is never either accu- rate or effective. The best results are ob- tained where constant attention is given. co FUORI way. But too frequently every detail of In other words, committeemen who would have a perfect organization ought to have their voters list always at hand so as to be able to correct it whenever changes occur. This + ort of vigilance inspires activity in the rank and file and minimizes the labor of getting out the vote, besides making it pos- gible to get ont the full vote. The com- mitteeman who hasn’t the name and 'resi- dence of every voter in his district can’t ex- pect to get every voter to the polls on elec- tion day. : MH The Democrats of this county ought to begin at once’on the organization work for the next campaign. We have a most ener- getic state chairman and he will waste no time in getting the forces into motion. Bus the local work must be performed by the local organizations and the organization which is most efficient in it will be in the highest favor at the close of the contest. Centre connty ought to stand in the front rank when the alignment is finally made, and it will if the local committees are vigi- lant and industrious. By beginning now and continuing until the end an absolutely perfect organization may be secured. Represents the Sentiment of the Dem- ocratic People. From the Pittsburg Post. i In the debate going on about the future of the Democratic party, especially in its relation to the presidential contest of next year, the Philadelphia ‘‘Record’’ observes that “Mr. Bryan was defeated twice and Mr. Cleveland was elected twice, and hence the fury of the Nebraskan.” This is a narrow view, and will not stand fhe test of close examination. Mr. Cleveland was elected twice because he had the united support of the Democratic par- ty. In fact he had a majority of the popular vote over his Republican op- ponent, at the three elections when he was a candidate, failing in 1888 in not securing a majority’ of the electoral vote. His record in this respect is without paral- lel, bus it was because he had ‘the united support of his party. In 1892 Mr. Cleve- land, in a letter to a Georgia editor held that a man’s status as a Democrat was de- ‘termined by his loyal support of the ean- didate of the Democratic party, nominated by the National convention. That was the only test in 1892, as interpreted by Mr. Cleveland. ‘ Never was there astronger ap- peal made for the unity of the party and the binding force of the organization in ‘its official action. : Mr. Bryan is not out of al organization can be maintained. * Hence we have no question he is right asa matter of fact: that a ‘‘bolter’’ in 1896 or 1900 stands little or no chance of the Democrati-. ic nomination next year. Mr. Cleveland is on record against any change in this rule of party association and its duties and obliga- tions, as he laid down in 1892, when a can- didate himself. He held it to be the essen- tial point in political fellowship. But this does not infer that the candidate to be nominated next year should be pre- sented on the issues of 1896 or 1900, cer- tain of which may be properly described as dead issues. The party in National con- vention must determine the platform, and it is no more bound to indorse the free silver issue than it is to go back to 1864 and reaffirm the doctrine that the war to maintain the Union was a failure or the greenback issue of 1868. Times change, and with them the political issues the party seeking power should represent, ex- cepting those fundamental questions on which the life of the Nation rests. Take the silver question, and there can be no doubt that the platform of 1896 stood for the fixed and deliberate conviction of the Democracy at that time. But it would be out of place to reaffirm this principle in 1904. It has passed from the field of pertinent political debate, about as thor- oughly as the war failure resolution of 1864." We muss act on the living present, and the best and only ‘way to do it is to avoid recrimination on what took place in 1896 and 1900. We believe the Democratic National convention will face and dispose of this question with prudence and wisdom. It will not justify the bolting of Bryan in 1896 ky nominating a bolter, nor will it close the doors against those who see that their best hopes of the future rest on the issues of the day, and not of four or eight years ago. Was It a Democratic Victory ! From the Chicago Chronicle. : The prosecution of the Northern Secur- ities company and the great anti-trust decision of the court at St. Paul constitute a Democratic victory, not a victory of President Roosevelt nor of the Republican Congress, j : The public sentiment which forced the national administration to act against the trusts was created by Democratic agitation. The Republicans were forced into a cor- ner. They were compelled to act for the suppression of the trusts or to go before the country at the next election as the party of the trusts, supporting the trusts and supported by the trusts. NEE In claiming the credit of the anti-trust victory in the courts the Republicans are stealing Democratic thunder. The lar- ceny will not prevail. hie The Democratic party is entitled . to all the credit of the successful war on: the trusts, and it cannot be kept out of its own when the reckoning comes.
