The Nation's (ireed.
Our country has opened for crime a highway.
Licensed it, christened it Saloon for the pay :
For revenue nine hundred millions they tell
Are paid by this thoroughfare leading to hell.
When you think of the toll-gates studding this
way.
Thicker than mile-posts, so alluring and gay.
Where all who heretravel pay tribute or toll
To keep up the revenue, damning the soul.
Of all the inventions the devil could plan
To work on the weakness of tioor fallen man,
None prove so successful for lust and desire
As habits established by drinking hell-fire.
This child of the devil was christened at birth
IJy the wisest of nations—richest on earth—
And parties and churches assist in licr need
To fill up her coffers with revenue greed.
And thousands of young men are ruined or slain
For the ninety percent, the government gain;
And this Juggernaut car is everywhere found.
Loaded with felons for the -'State dumping
ground."
The License Power.
Editor Press:
I read with no little interest the
article in your last issue under the
title "Where are we drifting to?" and
it stirred my soul to the very depths..
I would like to put a few facts before
your many readers, hoping they may
start more to thinking and that think
ing may take to acting till this great
evil be overcome with good. Where
is the remonstrance ? Why did it not
have at least a hearing? To think
our temperance people could not have
their say about one of these hell holes.
How gladly some of our best citizens —
as I happened to know —signed this i
remonstrance only to be thrown aside, j
while this wretchedness, caused by
hosts of licenses, is allowed to exist. !
For shame. Take one of these vile '
places find put it in a town of this size j
then watcli the result. Eighteen j
licensed liquor establishments in a 1
town the size of Emporium—the fact is i
appalling. May the judge who had the ;
esteemed privilege (? of granting |
these licenses get down before God \
and deeply repent of this sin, (if he J
never has or never will commit an- \
other) will send him to that place of
dar! do pair, where, with the liquor
dealers and the drunkards he must
spend eternity. -"Oh ! how shall guilty
man contend with such a God?"
If ladies dare not pass on ski-walk:!
forfearolthe vile and insulting lan- j
guage they are sure to hear by meeting
tVie poor drunkard, what of the homes ,
of some of these drunkards? Mother
and children groveling in poverty and
want, who would be glad to gather
the crumbs that fall from the table of ;
our judge. Surely such things ought <
not so to be. When I see the increas- !
ing boldness of the men who we place j
in high positions, of the corruption of j
such, of the liquor traffic, the grab and I
greed system that is taking the life out
of the common people, I sav we are j
gone, hopelessly gone; there is no hope j
for us unless we assert our christian ]
manhood, rebuke this foul tide of cor- |
ruption, place men and parties in i
power that will stand for the right. If |
one-quarter of our professing christians 1
were true to their God, to their fellow !
men and their convictions, Emporium !
would not be in the sad plight in !
which we find it to-day. Is it not time
to enquire "where are we drifting?";
Must we be deprived of our rights? j
Will our law-abiding citizens suffer 1
this state of affairs to continue? God j
forbid! O! that God would raise up a j
man in our midst like Neal Dow, who !
would never slack his efforts until our
State had enacted and established its
prohibitory law. Success will come on ;
this line and never on any other.
Some one has said when our law maker;;
come to the conclusion that they can ;
pass an act to guard the girls and
boys of the nation against strong drink i
as easily as they can protect birds, ;
fishes, rabbits, doer and skunks they
will certainly do it. They will by and
by take as much interest in the protec
tion of their own offspring as they do
in the protection of the brute creation.
I do not wish to be understood that 1
object t; the first, but I advocate the:
latter as well.
What will arouse the people; the I
church going people? You tell me
that the call of the church isr to save
people from their sins, and so it is.
But ! point out to you that on the last :
election day she went in for "aving •
everything but men, and with the ex- ,
ception of a few loyal hearts, stood for 1
saving gold, silver, precious stone.--, !
wood, bay, hides, wool, tin anything :
but men, and she swarms with men in
pulpit and in pew, who make a mock
at sin, in party politics; and who get
votes, and offices, and power, hy the
destruction of the faith of more ner.
every year than she even deals with.
Let us take God for our guide and]
go forth conquering and to conquer.
In the name of our King, Awake !
ANOTHER CITIZEN.

"The Letternjan Case."
Editor fret's: —
I feel that in the interest of justice
and truth, as well as in vindication <<f
the purity of our homes, that the com
munication in last week's Independent
hy "Mosc Carpenter" must be answer
ed. The "spindles of passion" have
not. yet cooled enough to permit us to
call a bigamist, a most consumate vil
lian, a "good fellow." Admitting that
proper steps were not taken in looking ;
up this fellow's record, yet the fact,
that he lied, and most shamefully de
ceived Miss Fulton as well as her
friends, remains. Can "Mose Carpen
ter" or any other man making the
least pretension to morality, justify .a
violation of the commandment, which
says, "Thou shalt not commit adul
tery." Admitting for a time this fel
low did behave like a gentleman, yet j
it was all for a purpose, and "things |
are just as bad as we at first supposed " |
How could they be worse? Any man I
who holds such loose views with re- I
gard to the marriage relation is a con
stant menace to society. Please an
swer this question Mr. "Carpenter."
Would you advise Miss Fulton to live
in adultery with t his Letterman, who
has a wife living? As it stands, Miss
F. is only guilty of indeseretion, but if
she should do as you intimate she
would be a veritable Magdalene, and ;
little better than a prostitute.
It may be Mr. "Carpenter," that you j
have daughters of your own ; if so,
imagine this disgrace coming into your
family; would you thank any man to
call the scoundrel who blighted your
daughter's life and brought disgrace
into your family, "a good fellow ?" I
think not. What this Letterman de
serves is nothing short of a term of ,
years in the penitentiary, and if justice
is done he will certainly get it, but if
he fails to receive the just reward of
his crime, the best thing he can do is
togo to Kentucky, where he claimed
his friends are. Again I read the
words form "Mose Carpenter," "such
a step if just the kind I want them to
take." referring as I have already inti
mated, to Miss F. living in adultery
with a man who has a wife living and
no divorce. And, knowing "Mose
Carpenter" as I do, and knowing his
standing in society, and believing him |
when he says he has a high regard for j
the entire Fulton family, I find it a bit- j
ter impossibility to believe that he is j
not possessed with an evil spirit < '.in !
it be that there is a skeleton in his own
closet, the remembrance of which has
embittered his life, and in a n-asure
deadened his moral nature? "Whom
God hath joined together let no man
put asunder." these are the words of
the Holy writ, and unless this nation i
is more careful to pr< serve the saneti- j
ty of the marring • relation, we may ex- j
pect at no distant day, the visitation j
of the vengeance of God And now j
with a brief summary 1 will close.
Miss Fulton and her friends were to i
blame for not thoroughly investiga
ting this Letterman's record. But all
I the family did not receive him with
; favor ; on the contrary one member of ;
! the family at least yielded under pro- ;
test to what seemed to him inevitable
The addresses givi n of friends ? at
State College, were intended not to !
verify his standing there, but to dei
i ccive Andas to what this rascal has j
done, surely "Mosc Carp; ..nter" knows j
that he has violated the law of the
State as well as the law of God, and i
1 why should lit not be ostracised? No, j
j iet us not help this "good fellow'' out, ;
i but on the other hand it might be an
excellent plan to help a few others in.

After Defeat.
I Editor Press:
While 1 rt gret to sec by the returns
j of election, that the majority was on
: the wrong side of the fence for the Poor
j Farm. Still I say, "Ail is not loss "
j The question is before the public, nor
is it at all liable to die. Although it
has for the present suffered a signal
I defeat, I know that the citizens of Cam
-1 eron county are too honest to let the
j subject drop into oblivion. The ques
tion is a, grand study, if taken in the
! proper place, which is without doubt i
I outside the vail of politics.
I do not believe in the much resort
led to "mud slinging." 1 believe in
! facts, and have striven to give such, |
i and only such. If truth has touched j
| too tender a spot in friend "Ding's" j
I armor I am sorry that it should be so. j
If farming is a science, a man to lie
come a past-master of any one science j
; must devote his entire energies to that j
science Bordeaux mixture would I
have saved his fruit Careful selection !
of plants and ground, with a little gas- :
oline would save his cabbage. Early
: planting his potatoes, while care would !
nave saved his hay, wheat and rye.
As for buckwheat, he .ia the first one
l have heard of saving the crop of '97
was a failure in this section —most far
mers are sorry they did not sow more.
Be that as it may, if does not for the
present come to the point. We all
without vxf.ii ption grant t hat all years 1
i are not as profitable for the farmer as,
take for instance, At all times
however, the thorough farmer can
live.
The main question now is has the
: Poor Farm question had time to have
i become satisfactory to all? The law
provides we can place our poor in sis
! ter county Poor Houses. One of our
; poormasi - • has applied at three difier
i cut places and the answer was the
i name in all, "very sorry, we are full
; and cannot take your poor." What
doe this inei'. to. Our opponents will
say undoubtedly, because these insti
tutions are a detriment io the counties.
This is not so, as all these three are
almost self-sustaining. The great fear
! seems to bo the lack of limits in the
hands ot the County Commissioners.
We cannot trust 1 he:' :nds in the hands
iof those three men. Why, they would
swamp the county in one term of
office! Yet they handle three-fourths
of the county funds, hut the other
fourth we dare not trust in their hands.
The principles of manhood 1 hope
have not fallen so low in Cam
eron county that wo cannot find an
honest county Commissioner. We
have two years before another vote can
be taken. Study the matter over and
see that the losing side has a cause.

EMPORIUM, PA., THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 24.1898.
LfiTEST WAR HEWS.
[Frcm Philadelphia Inquirer,]
Following the report that an
order had been received at the
I'nited States Embassy at London
directing all officers of the I'nited
States, at present in England on
I leave to rejoin their ships at once,
1 it was learned yesterday that all
! retired naval officers of the I'nited
States had received notice from
Secretary Long directing them to {
place themselves in communication
with the Navy Department imme
diately.
A retired naval officer of this i
■ city, who served under Admiral
Farragiit, said that the notice ap
plied to, about JJOO naval officers
throughout the country on there- j
tired list. It was of confidential
nature, but its provisions were to 1
the effect that officers under fili !
i
years of age who could pass a j
physical examination, showing j
themselves to be tit for duty, would j
be required to hold themselves in '
readiness for service at a moment's
notice from W ashington.
All who received the conimuni- j
cation were asked to acknowledge i
its receipt immediately, giving any j
prospective change of address, and
placing themselves unreservedly at
the disposal of the government.
TAJII'A, I "la., Feb. — l- A |
special train is held in readiness j
at the station here to convey I
Consul-General Lee to Washing- I
ton." said a prominent railroad
! official here to-night, •vile is e:;- j
; pected here at any moment !>y the j
| torpedo boat Cashing or Dul'ont." |
The official, whose name is with- j
i lu-hi on account of the importance !
1 oi' his position further stated that !
I the cause of Consul-General Lee's!
j hurried visit to the I nited States <
| was that he bore important docu- i
! ments—papers so valuable that |
| under no ciieumstances could tlicy j
i lie trusted to any attache or minor :
| official. ,
The coining of Lee may or may |
I l lot be true, but in any event the j
. special train lias been standing in
i the train shed here for the last six |
; hours with full steam up and crew i
ready to assume their posts. At i
the docks everything is on the j
alert.
The White Squadron cruiser !
.Montgomery arrived at Port Tampa \
this morning from Santiago de j
Cuba, where she was ordered some j
time ago by the Secretary of the I
Navy.
It was not until she was on her |
way to the I*nited States that the !
officers learned of the disaster to i
the Maine. A passing ship gave j
the information, but it was not |
given much credence. On arriv- j
I ing at the bar last night, however, I
| it was confirmed by the pilot.
To-day the cruiser is taking on |
800 tons of coal at Port Tampa,
| and to-morrow will sail for Key I
I West.
The concensus of opinion in this j
j city is that the Maine was destroy- 1
jed by treachery. Cubans are tini
| versally of the opinion that if was !
! the work of Spanish deviltry, while
' tlie Spaniards claim that their peo
! pie would have had too much sense
to have done such it thing, and
when the maili r is lifted to its ut
most it will be found that some Cu
j bans with an anarchistic instinct
did the infamous work.
THE SIT I A TIOX (Jlt.VVi:.
\VAS;II.N<; TON, Fob. —A promi
nent New Kngland Congressman,
who holds close political and per
sona! relations with Secretary
Long, had an extended conference
with that official and with other
officials of the Navy Department
to-day, and who also visited the
Executive Mansion, remarked to
night as follows:
"There is not the least doubt
that iini situation is grave.
"I do not mean to imply that
the Government is expecting to be
forced into a conflict with Spain
from developments in the harbor
in Havana, but ! do mean that
■ every preparation is being made
; for a conflict. This preparation is
' a precaution, because there is a
feeling that something is going to
; turn up. The Navy Department
i is making more preparation than
the officials admit < >ui- war ves
j sels in remote places are being
called closer home, so that they
can lie quickly placed. The four
j monitors are being made ready,
and there is a great deal of activity
under t lie surface.
IN TIIK SENATE.
In the Senate Mr. Allei:,of Nebraska,
introduced a series of resolutions re
citing the horrors of concentration in
Cuba and demanding an investigation
by a committtee of five Senators. On
j objection by Mr. Piatt, of Connecticut,
j the resolution went over. When the
Diplomatic and Consular Appropria
| lion Bill was brought forward Mr.
Allen moved as an amendment his res
olution recognizing the belligerency of
the Cuban insurgents, which had al
j ready been reported favorably to the
Senate hy the Foreign Relations Com
mittee. This precipitated a warm de
bate. The resolution was ruled out
j on a point of order.
The White Squadron is assembling
j off Key West, as the result of orders
! sent out bv the Navy Department.
Within a day or two there will he un
i der the immediate command of Ad
miral Sicard the following vessels:
i New York, Indiana, Massachusetts,
\ Texas, lowa, Brooklyn, Marblehead,
| Detroit, Nashville, Montgomery, Erics
: son, DuPont, Cushing and Porter.
! Admiral Sieard is still suffering severe
jly from malarial fever. On the Pacific
| coast work is being rushed on there-
I pairs of the Charleston, Philadelphia,
| Yorktown, Pensacola, Hartford and
| Adams now at Mare Island. Major
j General Merritt left New York yester
day to inspect the defenses of the
South Atlantic Coast.
During the last few days, and again
I last, night President McKinley has
: been in earnest conference with mem
bers of the Senate Committees on For-
I eign Relations, Military Affairs and
I Navy. Important plans to perfect the
I two military arms of the service have
I been considered and arranged. These
j moves arc merely of a precautionary
| nature, so that this country may be
| prepared for any eventualities.

Run, with a view to draw the trade
from that section to Emporium. The

to have a report ready within a few

days it is agreed that a permanent
road should be built, it being asserted
that it would pass through good farm
ing land.

Lively Times in Emporium on Mon
day and Tuesday.
j Last Monday and Tuesday Mr. 11. C.
1 Kaye, of this place, who expected, ac
) cording to contract to leave for Alas
' ka with the Coudersport Klondyke
. Co., caused the arrest of the general
j manager of the Company. The mat
| ter will be tried in our courts and not
I wishing to take sides in the contro
j versy we give below a history of the
case:
Several weeks ago Mr. H. C. Kaye,
: of this place, signed a contract with
! the Klondyke Prospecting and Min
| ing Company, of Coudersport, Pa.,
j wherein it was agreed that upon his
j depositing a certain amount of money
j with the Company he should become
. I one of a party of four that the Com
pany was going to send to Alaska this
spring. All preparations for the trip
, had been made and the party was in
. tending to leave on Monday last, when,
on Saturday noon, Mr. Kayo received
a letter from E. C. Briggs, General
Manager of the above named com
pany, and who was to have charge of
• the party, saying that ho had a sworn
statement from a Mr. Jepson, who was
also a member of the party, to the ef
fect that Kaye had proposed to Jepson
j that when t hey reached the gold fields
! I they should do away with Briggs, take
i I what money he had and start out pros
pecting on their own hook. Briggs
said that the Company did not want
anything more to do with Kaye and
j that he should consider the contract
as null and void. He also further
i stated in his letter that if Kaye would
let the matter drop where it was and
i not attempt to make any disturbance
that he (Briggs) would not make tiie
i affair public.
Mr. Kaye however believing it to be
a scheme on the part of Briggs to de
fraud him of the money which he had
I deposited with the Company, immedi
- j ately had a warrant sworn out for the
arrest of Briggs, charging him with
j writing a threatening and iutimidat
; ing letter for the purpose of extorting
i j money and gain. The warrant was
' j placed in the hands of officer Yentzer
i I who arrested Briggs at Port Allegany
- i on Monday, arriving here with him on
3 the evening train. The hearing was
■i j held before Justice Larrabec, Mr. Kaye
' ; being represented by attorneys Green
> ! and Johnson, while L. B. Seibcrt of
! i Coudersport appeared for Briggs.
: I After hearing the evidence Briggs
, was bound over for his appearance at
3 Court in the sum of six hundred dol
, lars.
e Mr. Kaye has resided in Emporium
y j for several years and enjoys the re
spect and confidence of our people.—
Nothing that may be said by his ene
'» mies will shake our confidence in his
y integrity. His friends, and they are
legion, will stand for him.
