Decisions Important to County Commis
sioners.
Congressman Hicks, at the request
of J. Horace Smith, esq., solicitor for
Blair county, submitted recently to
the commissioner of internal revenue
a question as to the liability of counly
commissioners and county treasurers
under the new tax law. Recently
Mr. Hicks received a reply from the
commissioner in which the commis
sioner says ''that an order drawn by
county commissioners in their official
capacity upon the county treasurer in
discharge of the duties imposed upon
them by law is not subject to the
stamp tax."
The commissioner further says as
to the county treasurer : "That the
county treasurer drawing a check on
the bank and signing it in his official
capacity as county treasurer, in pay
memt of an order drawn upon him by
the county commissioners, must be
regarded as the exercise of a function
belonging to him strictly as an officer
of the county, and therefore no stamp
is required to be affixed to such
check."
It has generally been supposed that
when a county treasurer deposited
his money in a bank that such de
posit was for the convenience of the
treasurer, and that the checks of the
treasurer would be subject to the
stamp tax. The commissioner, how
ever, holds, as is noticed by his decis
ion above quoted, that checks drawn
by the county treasurer as such and
signed as such are not subject to the
stamp tax. If this be a proper inter
pretation of the law we suppose it
applies equally to checks issued by a
city treasurer.
It's the Platform of the People.
So far as it is possible the Demo
cratic State convention has made vital
questions of State administration the
paramount, controlling and sole issue
of this campaign. The declaration is
incisive, unmistakable and radical,
and has the added merit of incontes
tible truth.
Honest government, home rule and
clean politics are presented as the
paramount issues. The single nation
al issue pertinent is met by a pledge
of hearty support to the government
on ar active and aggressive conduct
of the war with Spain. This covers
the ground, for on this question our
people are all of one mind. No need
of words.
But not for years, and, we judge,
never before, has there been such a
ringing declaration as the Altoona
convention put forth on the wrongs,
abuses and crimes that have grown
up in this commonwealth under the
maign influence and desperate and
greedy avarice of machine politics
and legislation. The specifications
are terrible in their truth and the
offenses against good government they
enumerate, and are fitly supphmented
by pledges of reform in legislation
and political methods that will meet
the hearty approval of every true son
of the commonwealth.— Ex.
There is more Catarrh in this sec
tion of the country than all other dis
eases put together, and until the last
few years was supposed to be incura
ble. For a great many years doctors
pronounced it a local disease, and pre
scribed local remedies, and by con
stantly failing to cure with local treat
ment, pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be a
constitutional disease, and therefore
requires constitutional treatment.
Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by
I. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is
the only constitutional cure on the
market. It is taken internally in
doses from ro drops to a teaspoonful.
It acts directly on the blood and
mucous surfaces of the system. They
offer one hundred dollars for any case
it fails to cure. Send for circulars
and testimonials. Address,

Oarriers Should Pay the Tax.
In answer to references from the
Commissioner of Internal Revenue
all bearing upon the question as to
whettier the shipper or carrier shall
pav for and affix the required revenue
stamps to bills of landing, etc., Assist
ant Attorney General Boyd has held
as follows :
"The purpose of the law is clear.
It was to tax the carrier and not the
shipper, and these provisions undoubt
edly fi* upon the express companies
and other carriers the duty of provid
ing, affixing and cancelling the stamp,
and their failure to so provide, affix
and cancel such stamp subjects them
to the penalties provided by law. It
is suggested that some of these car
riers are refusing to receive goods for
shipment until the shipper pays the
tax. While it is not my province to
advise as to the recourse which the
shipper may have in instances of this
kind, yet I am sure that the laws arc
ample to require public carriers and
express companies to receive goods
tendered fo. shipment or suffer dam
ages for such refusal."
THE SPOILS OF WAR.
NUMBER OF PRISONERS EXCEED THE
STRENGTH OF SHAFTER'3 ARMY.
1 Ten Million Hounds of Ammunition Were
Pelzcrt at Wanting". Shnfrer Auks War
Uepartinent to Hurry Departure of
Immune lteatmente.
Washington, D. C., July 20.j-The war
department received a dispatch from
General Shafter saying that the roster
of prisoners was handed In yesterday
afternoon by General Toral and that
the total Is 22,789 men.
General Shafter's dispatch added that
the prisoners turned over to him far
exceeded in numbers the strengtn of his
own army.
General Shafter has asked the war
department to hurry forward the regi
ments of lmmunes for service at Santi
ago city and vicinity In order that there
may be a minimum of danger of furth
er Infection of our troops from the
fever which prevails at Santiago.
Secretary Alger deems It probable
that the total number of Spanish sol
diers who will have to be transported
to Spain will reach 25,000, estimated
by General Shafter as General Torsi's
reports did not cover quite all the "sol
diers who would be turned over.
The secretary says the military gov
ernor of Santiago has not been defi
nitely selected.
"Our army captured 10,000,000 rounds
of ammunition at Santiago, so that
It will not need such supplies for some
time.
General Shafter In a dispatch to the
war department says he will send offi
cers and men to receive the surrender
of garrisons In the Interior amounting
to about 2,000 Spanish aoldlers. He will
also send forces to receive the surren
der of the coast towns of Guantanamo,
Bolson, Sagua and Panclnlt. Ten thou
sand stands of arms, he says, were
taken at Santiago.
Some apprehension Is expressed here
that the assumption by the United
States government of the control of
affairs at Santiago may lead to trou
ble with the Cubans. A few days be
fore the surrender of the city General
Garcia sent a commltteee to General
Shafter Informing him that the Cu
bans had selected a Cuban named Cas
tillo for governor of that city.
It Is plain, however, from the read
ing of the president's order to Shaf
ter that it will be a long time before
this Cuban officer is allowed to exercise
the functions of governor and It is be
lieved It is the president's purpose
when the military government he has
just erected gives way to replace it
with a popular government, meaning
thereby a government for Santiago
chosen by the free vote of the people
of Santiago.
Some doubt is expressed as to wheth
er this programme will be entirely ac
ceptable to that element of the Cuban
party which demands Immediate pos
session of captured territory, but as
the administration Is convinced that
this element is neither the most numer
ous nor respectable in the Cuban cause,
it is believed their dissatisfaction will
take no more dangerous form than pro
tests and growls.
The ordnance department of the war
department is considering what to do
with the large quantity of arms, ammu
nition, fortification guns and ordnance
stores which have come Into the pos
session of this government through the
surrender of Santiago.
General Shafter reports that about
-7,000 Mauser rifles were turned over the
first day and the number will reach
probably 20,000 when the troops at oth
er points in the surrendered zone turn
in their guns. The reports made be
fore the surrender indicated that the
Mausers handled by the Spanish troops
were not in very good condition. The
guns were all right when furnished, but
the poor care they received, principally
from the volunteers, left many of them
rusty and defective. Ordnance officials
believe, however, that the greater part
of the guns can be put In first class
order.
The Mauser has a calibre of seven
millimeters, or .2 7-8 of an Inch, while
the American gun has a calibre of .3 of
an inch. This difference in calibre
makes it Impossible to use American
ammunition In the captured guns. The
surrender also covers a large stock of
ammunition, rifle balls, etc., of the cal
iber suitable for the Mausers, so that
when the guns are repaired there will
be an ample stock of cartridges to use
in them. The ordnance bureau Is con
sidering only what shall be done with
the guns if they are utilized by this
government, as It has nothing to do
with the larger question concerning the
ultimate return of the guns to the
Spanish troops. This is a general ques
tion of governmental policy, but It ap
pears to be pretty well settled that the
guns will not be returned to the Span
lards, at least until the war Is over.

Admiral Camara.
As the steamer passed the battleship

issued from her and from the fact that
a cruiser had to take the Pelayo In 1

CUBAN PROCLAMATION.
President McKlnlsy Issues a Massage for
Their Guidance.
Washington, July 10.—A state paper
that will mark an epoch In Amertean
history was Issued last night by direc
tion of President McKlnley.
It provides, in generul terms, for the
government of the surrendered part 01
the province of Santiago de Cuba, and
Is the first document of exactly the
same kind ever prepared by a president
of the United States.
The President's Message,
Executive Mansion,
Washington, July 18.
To the Secretary of War:
Sir: The capitulation of the Spanish
forces in Santiago de Cuba, and In the
eastern part of the provlnct of Santiago
and the occupation of the territory by
the forces of the United States, render
It necessary to Instruct the military
commander of the United States as to
the conduct which he is to observe dur
ing the military occupation.
The first effect of the military occu
pation of the enemy's territory Is the
severance of the former political rela
tions of the Inhabitants, and the estab
lishment of a new political power. Un
der this changed condition of things,
the .inhabitants, so long as they per
form their duties, are entitled to secu
rity In their persons and properties, and
in all their private rights and rela
tions.
It Is my desire that the Inhabitants
of Cuba should be acquainted with the
purpose of the United States to dis
charge to the fullest extent its obliga
tions In this regard. It will, therefore,
be the duty of the commander of the
army of occupation to announce and
proclaim In the most public manner
that we come not to make war upon
the Inhabitants of Cuba, nor upon any
party or faction among them, but to
protect them In their homes, In their
employments and in their personal and
religious rights.
All persons who, either t>y active aid
or by honest submission, co-operate
with the United States In Its efforts to
give effect to this beneficent purpose,
will receive the reward of Us support
and protection. Our occupation should
be as free from severity as posslbte.
The Judges and the other officials
connected with the administration of
Justice, may, if they accept the su
premacy of the United States, continue
to administer the ordinary law of the
land, as between man and man, under
the supervision of the American com
mander-in-chief.
The native constabulary will, so far
as may be practicable, be preserved.
The frtedom of the people to pursue
their accustomed occupations will be
abridged only when it may be neces
sar yto do so.
While the rule of conduct of the Am
erican commander-in-chief will be such
as has Just been defined, It will be his
duty to adopt measures of a different
kind, if, unfortunately, the course
the people should rcoder such meas
ures Indispensable to the maintenance
of law and order, lie will men pos
sess the power to replace or expel the
native officials in part or altogether, to
substitute new courts for those that
now exist, or to create such new or
supplementary tribunals as may be
necessary. In the exercise of these
high powers the commander must be
guided by his Judgment and his expe
rience and a high sense of Justice.
One of the most important and most
practical problems with which It will
be necessary to deal, is that of the
treatment of property and the collec
tion and administration of the reve
nues. It Is conceded that all public
funds and securities belonging to the
government of the country in its own
right, and all arms and supplies and
other movable property of such gov
ernment, may be seized by the mili
tary occunant and converted to his
own use. The real property of the
state he may hold and administer, at
the same time enjoying the revenues
thereof, but he Is not to destroy It save
in case of military necessity.
All public means of transportation,
such as telegraph lines, cables, rail
ways and boats belonging to the state
may be appropriated to his use, but
unless in ease of military necessity,
they are not to be destroyed.
All churches and buildings devoted
to religious worship and to the arts
and sciences, all school houses are, so
far as possible, to be protected, and all
destruction or Intentional defacement
of such places, of historical monuments
or archives, or of works of science or
art, Is prohibited, save when required
by urgent military necessity.
Private property, whether belonging
to individuals or corporations, is to be
respected, and can be confiscated only
as hereafter indlvated. Means of trans
portation, such as telegraph lines and
cables, railways and boats, may, al
though they belong to private individ
uals, or corporations, be seized by the
military occupants, but, unless destroy
ed under military necessity, are not to
be retained.
While It Is held to be the right of the
conqueror to levy contributions upon
the enemy In their sea ports, towns or
provinces which may be In his mili
tary possession by conquest, and to ap
ply the proceeds to defray the ex
penses of the war, this right is to be
1 exercised within such limitations that
,It may not savor of confiscation. As
| the result of military occupation, the
taxes and duties payable by the In
habitants to the former government be
come payable to the military occupant,
: unless he sees fit to substitute for them
other rates or fodes of contribution
to the expenses of the government. The
j moneys so collected are to be used for
the purpose of paying the expenses of
I the government under the military oc
i cupation, such as the salaries of the
judges and the police and for the pay
ment of the expenses of the army.
All ports and places in Cuba which
may be In the actual possession of our
land and naval forces will be opened
to the commerce of all neutral nations,
as well as our own, in articles not con
traband of war, upon payment of the
prescribed rates of duty which may be
In force at the time of the Importa
, tion.

Soldiers' Families' Needs.
There is Want Throughout the State.
' The families of many of the sol
diers who have gone to the front from
Puiiisylvaijiu aie in want and have
applied for relief to the State sanitary
commission and the charitable organ
izations in their immediate locality.
The pay of the private soldier is too
small to keep himself and the family
at home must to some extent depend
upon the charity of their neighbors.
Relief organizations have been form
ed in Philadelphia, Pittsburg and
other localities through the State, but
much of the suffeiing and destitution,
however, appears to be in the small
towns where there are no relief organ
ization and the local authorities have
been turning the needing over to the
Overseers of the Poor.
Governor Hastings is in daily re
ceipt of personal applications for relief
from the families of Pennsylvania sol
diers as well as from the soldiers
themselves who write him from the
front asking him to care for those who
are dependent upon them for support.
He has given his personal attention
to these applications and to some
extent has satisfied the wants of ap
plicants out of his own purse. Scores
of letters are received daily from sol
diers or members of soldiers' families
asking where they may apply for
relief. Many of them tell the sad
story of suffering and are pathetic in
the extreme.
The sanitary commission is distri
buting upward of S4OO a day among
the families of Pennsylvania soldiers
and could expend twice the amount if
it could be had. The State commis
sion is co-operating with the national
organization of which Dr. M. S.
French, of Philadelphia, is general
secretary.
Governor Hastings made a sub
scription of SSOO to the Stale sanitary
commission at its initial meeting at
Harrisburg and has made disburse
ments during the past month which
will likely amount to twice that sum,
while at the same time Mrs. Hastings
has expended in similar work an
amount equal to that which her gener
ous husband has given. Harrisburg,
however, has been fortunate, there
being few cases here and they are
being cared for.— Harrisburg Pa

THEY WANT TO TELL
These Grateful Women Who Have
Been Helped by Mrs. Pinkham.
Women who have suffered severely
and been relieved of their ills by Mrs.
Pinkham's advice and medicine are
constantly urging publication of their
statements for the benefit of other wo
men. Here are two such letters:
Mrs. LIZZIE BEVERI.Y, 258 Mcrrimao
St., Lowell, Mass., writes:
" It affords me great pleasure to tell
all suffering women of the benefit I have
received from taking Lydia E. Pink
linra's Vegetable Compound. I can hard
ly-find words to express my gratitude for
what she has done forme. My trouble
was ulceration of the womb. I was un
der the doctor's care. Upon examina
tion he found fifteen very large ulcers,
buthefailedtodome good. I took sev
eral bottlesof Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege
table Compound, also used the Sanative
Wash, and am cured. Mrs. Pinkham's
medicine saved my life, and I would
recommend it to all Buffering women."
Mrs. AMOS TROMHLKAY, Ellenburgh
Ctr., N. Y.. writes:
" I took cold at the time my baby
was born, causing me to have milk
legs, and was sick in bed for eight
weeks. Doctors did me no good. I
surely thought I would die. I was al
so troubled with falling of the womb.
I could not eat, had faint spells as
often as ten times a day. One day a
lady came to see me and told me of the
benefit she had derived from taking
Lydia E. Pinkham's medicine, and ad
vised me to try it. I did so, and had
taken only half a bottle before I was
able to sit in a chair. After taking
three bottles I could do my own work.
I am now in perfect health."
