IT is asserted that the reason why

be compelled to foot the entire Cuban

be wrested from Spain in a war with

days of the rebellion, a testament in
which a minie ball is imbedded. It was
taken from the left breast pocket of
a rebel soldier who was killed at Sail

AN ingenious machine for making
sandwiches is used by many of the
ocean line steamships. It cuts and
butters (it) slices of bread a minute.
One movement of the hand cuts and
butters the bread, and the machine
can be arranged so that the bread need
not be buttered if the operator does
not want it to be so. In making 1.000
sandwiches three hams and 11 pounds
of butter are saved, it is said, on ac
count of the accuracy with which both
are cut.

DEBASED MONEY STILL WANTED

A few days ago about 300 democrats
from tne five congressional districts in
the southern part of the state, embrac
ing 40 counties, had a conference at
East St. Louis. About all they did was
to agree that the new senatorial appor
tionment n.vst be fought in the courts
—though the} are by no means confi
dent of success —airtl to adopt a resolu
tion which is in part as follows:
"We indorse the Chicago platform of
In full and without reservation, and wc
favor t.he nomination of William Jennings
Bryan for president in 1900. We deem it the
duty of the democratic j«rty to place tick
ets In the field for every ofllce, the nominees
to he in full sympathy with said platform."
Whenever Bryan's name was men
tioned there wns much cheering. There
was also considerable applause when
ever the speakers referred —as they did
often —to "bimetallism at the ratio of
sixteen to one.*' "Free silver" was men
tioned only once. A new "war cry"
seems to be taking its place.
There was not one of these speakers,
however, who endeavored to show how
"bimetallism at the ratio of sixteen to
one" can be made to work except under
that existbig system of a limited coin
age on government account, which the
Bryanites object to and want to get
rid of.
Not a single orator tried to explain
how, by some legislative device, 371%
grains of silver, worth 44 cents, can have
when coined freely in unlimited quanti
ties into dollars the purchasing power
of 23 1-5 grains of gold when coined into
a doliar.
Hut when the gold dollars and the
free coinage silver dollars had not the
same purchasing power they would not
circulate concurrently. The latter, be
ing the more valuable, would go out of
circulation entirely, and the former
would be the only dollar in use. Then
there would be no "bimetallism" and
the monetary standard would be a de
preciated silver standard.
In a magazine article written by
Bryan early in 1890 he stated that "we
had the bimetallic principle in opera
tion in this country from 1792 to 1834,
and yet gold was at a premium and sil
ver was the money in common use."
That happened simply because the law
makers mistakenly declared that an
ounce of gold was worth only fifteen
ounces of silver, while it was in reality
worth about fifteen andone-half ounces.
If the Bryanites were in authority
and declared that an ounce of gold,
commercially worth 33 ounces of sil
ver, was worth only 10 ounces, silver
would become "the money in common
use." Bryan himself will not venture
to deny that. Then practically there
would be no more real "bimetallism"
than there was between 1792 and 1834.
But when congress overvalued silver
a little in 1792 no harm was done by
it. There were not billions of existing
contracts made on n gold standard
brsis of greater value. There were no
contracts. Therefore nobody was
swindled by the adoption of a false
ratio, which assumed that 371 1 /, grains
of silver were worth 24% grains of
gold when they were really worth a
trifle less than 24 grains.
To-day, however, 371 Vi grains of sil
ver are worth only a shadow over 10
grains of gold. To declare that that
many grains are worth 23 1-5 grains
of gold and when coined shall have the
same debt-paying power as 23 1-5 grains
of coined gold is to play havoc with all
existing obligations—amounting to bil
lions —all based on the gold dollar
standard.
But no speaker nt this democratic
conference deemed it wise to refer to
the consequences of the adoption of
a bogus "bimetallism" which would
substitute for a dollar having the pur
chasing power of 23 1-5 grains of gold
a dollar which at the outset would have
the purchasing pwer of only 10 grains
of gold, and which would be even less
valuable in the course of time.
The democrats who met at East St.
Louis are still for fraud. Whether they
ask for "free silver at the ratio of 16
to 1" or "bimetallism al the ratio of
10 to 1," they ask for thesame thing
debased money, to be made a legal ten
der to aid debtors in swindling cred
itors.
This will be the essence of the plat
-1 form which the democrats will adopt
: at their state convention in May, and
■ on that platform they will endeavor to
i elect state oTicers, congressmen and
members of the legislature.—Chicago
Tribune.

CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, MARCH 17, 189S.
WASHINGTON AND M'KINLEY.
The Government at Wtuhlngloii la
All It lit lit.
Some of our yellow contemporaries
are wondering what Washington would
do to-day if he were living. This of
course is a tacit admission of ignorance
of Washington's character —and as a
rule the yellows are averse to confess
ing ignorance, though, as is well known,
they are singularly objectionable in
that respect.
Well, one thing is certain, if Wash
ington were living he would not try and
force his country into war before it was
known whether it had reason for taking
that decisive and solemn step.
He would be, as he was in his own
time, deliberate, patient and patriotic.
In the farewell address of September
17, 1896, he said: "Observe good faith
and justice towards all nations: culti
vate peace and harmony with all. Re
ligion and morality enjoin ihis conduct;
and can it be that good policy does not!
equally enjoin it? It will be worthy of
a free, enlightened and at no distant
period a great nation, to give to man
kind the magnanimous and too novel
example of a people always guided by
an exalted justice and benevolence.
Who can doubt that in the course of
time and things the fruits of such a
plan would richly repay any temporary
advantages which might be lost by a
steady adherence to it? Can- it be that
Providence has not connected the per
manent felicity of a nation with its
virtue? The experiment at least is rec
ommended by every sentiment which
ennobles human nature. Alas! is it
rendered impossible by its vices?"
Our contemporaries which intimate
to their readers that the McKinley ad
ministration is lacking in firmness and
courage, because it is not acting as
Washington would have acted, were he
living, shows remarkable ignorance of
the character and the public policies
of the first president of the republic.
Forbearance and patience were the
keynotes of his character in dealing
with public affairs. Tn private matters
he might, occasionally be irascible and
not always as patient as he might be,
but when it came to dealing with affairs
of great character which affected the
interests of his countrymen he acted
in a manner which would have discour
aged the yellow journalists of this time,
and which moved their prototypes of
his generation to abuse him in ribald
style.
Tt. is elo«;e to the truth to say that
William McKinley to-day is acting as
Washington would have done if he were
confronted by the present situation. It
Is true that some time has elapsed
since the Maine was blown up. and in
that time, so far as the public is in
formed. the government has taken no
affirmative action. Put to assume that
the government is inactive, or that it
is paltering with a grave problem, is
ridiculous, and those who make the
charge lay themselves open to strong
criticism.
The government at Washington is all
right. Tt is doing its duty as the peo
ple will ascertain in the fullness of time.
—Albany Journal.
Poiiocrntß Are Stumped.
The populistic and free silverite gen
tlemen who carefully preserved their
campaign speeches in 1896 with the idea
that they could use them again in 1898
are going to have a hard time in fitting
them to present conditions or in squar
ing their record with the people to
whom they made their assertions in
that campaign. They then claimed
that prices could not advance with
out the free coinage of silver, yet they
face upon the stump in 1898 an ad
vanced figure in practically every arti
cle of farm produce. They claimed
in 1896 tluit a protective tariff would
not improve the conditions of the work
men, yet they find factories running
where smokeless chimneys were visible
in 1890, and wages increased and em
ployment plentiful. They insisted
when the Dingley tariff bill was under
discussion in congress that it would cut
down our sales abroad and would be
insufficient to produce the necessary
revenue at home, yet they find that our
sales abroad have increased and that
the new law is now producing revenue
at the rate of over $1,000,000 a day,
sufficient to keep pace with the average
expenses of the government. What will
they do about it? What will they say
now? —Cincinnati Commercial Tribune.

The St. Louis Globe-Democrat affects
to believe that "16 to 1 as the demo

ties and dogmas. Sixteen to one is no
mere war cry, no changeable motto
of a moment. It is understood to he
the last and most sacred utterance of
silver wisdom. It is beyond mathe

HALF A MILLION RIFLES.
The War Department h Preparing for
Their Purchase—Other Warlike Prepara
tion*- fthlp Owners are Eager to Sell Ves
telx to Uncle Sam.
Washington, March 10. —The feature
of Wednesday's events was theproinpt-
Stude with which the senate passed the
louse bill carrying the appropriation
of 850.000,000 for the national defense
and the haste with which it was put
through the formal proceedings, en
grossed, and signed by the president.
The fund has not yet been allotted
among the various branches of the gov
ernment service. Each of these had
prepared an estimate of the funds it
could dispose of to advantage, but the
president concluded that it would be
well to avoid making the allotment
until the necessity became apparent.
The reason back of this is that the
sum that can be profitably spent for
warships cannot even be guessed at
with any accuracy just now. As the
ships are to be first choice in the steps
for defense, until their is ascer
tained it is not possible to divide the
remainder of the appropriation among
the other branches of the military and
naval service. The secretary of the
navy is making every effort to secure
from our naval attaches and diplomatic
officers abroad all information obtain
able respecting the number of ships
being built, their price and other data.
This does not necessarily interfere
with the execution of the plans con
fided to Capt. Brownson, who sailed
for Southampton yesterday, but
rather promises to assist him 'vith his
inquiries. Up to this moment not only
has the United States bought no war
ships, but it has not even secured an
option on one.
There are many applications coming
to the department from persons and
firms who desire to sell ships, but in
most of these cases one of two fatal
obstacles are encountered to the con
summation "of the sale. Either the
craft offered is not suitable for naval
needs, or the date of possible comple
tion is so distant that it cannot be re
garded as worthy of purchase to meet
an emergency. There is less difficulty
experienced in securing tenders of war
material, such as shot, shell and pow
der, and the navy department has
almost assured itself of an'abundant
supply of certain kinds of smokeless
powder abroad at short notice. The
officials of the department are in daily
correspondence with agents of ammu
nition houses, and are fully acquainted
with the plans of domestic powder
makers for enlarging their plants to
meet an emergency.
Representatives of armor making
firms are in consultation with the de
partment steadily, generally relative
to the supply of gun forgingsand such
material for use in the gun shops here
and at Watervliet, but the question of
armor is receiving little attention, as
the armor makers cannot turn out
such armor as would be required for a
modern battleship in less than seven
months.
The statement was made at the navy
department yesterday that the report
of the Maine court of inquiry would
come to the department some time
next week. It did not appear, how
ever. that this statement was founded
upon any direct report from the court,
but was rather an estimate based upon
the progress so far made.
The war department is arranging tc
secure a large supply of the most
modern rifles, sufficient to arm 500.00 C
men. It is stated by high officials of
the department that no board is neces
sary to inquire into the merits of the
various guns on the market, but that
the department will turn to the best
sources of supply. These, it is said,
are ample within the United States tc
turn out rifles of the most approved
fashion as fast as the government
wants them. It is not unlikely, how
ever, that the demand will require the
army to turn from the Krag-Jorgensen
rifle, now in use, and adopt in part, at
least, one of the American-made guns
Gen. Miles strongly favors the straight
pull gun. It is of American make anc
has been adopted by the British gov
eminent as the standard arm. a million
being now in the hands of British
soldiers.
Like attention is being given to sup
plies of powder, cartridges, etc., foi
the army. Those in authority say or
ders can be filled without delay anc
that about the only branch of ord
nance in which the facilities are not
fully up to an emergency demand are
those for heavy fortification guns.
A BOY'S CRIME.
A I.oveHfrk Youth Shoot* lilt* Schoolmate
and Kill* lllinHelf.
Lancaster, Pa., March 10.—Roy Geh
rig, of Milton, Pa., shot and perhaps
fatally wounded Will 15. Davis, of St.
Clair, Pa., at Millersville yesterdaj
and then killed himself. The boyi
were pupils of a business college ir
Philadelphia and went to Millersville
to call upon two lady students at the
normal school there.
A note written by Gehrig gives his
explanation of the tragedy, as follows
'•We are dead in love with Alice Cutn
raings and Annie Holmes and, not be
ing able to see them, and they keep
ing away from us, we resolved to take
our lives."
Davis denies there was any compact
to commit suicide. It seems that Geh
rig was desperately in love with Miss
t'uminings and that he and Davis had
a dispute over her. Gehrig then, it is
supposed, decided to kill Davis and
then take his own life, and wrote the
letter to make the affair appear like E
double suicide. They were each about
19 years old.

the house acted promptly. In fact it
might have been better to have made
it $100,000,000, to show the world that
congress and the American people
without regard to political differences

Washington, March 10. —President
McKinley's hands have been upheld by
both branches of congress. With en
thusiasm, fervor and promptness al
most unparalleled in the senate in
time of peace, that body yesterday
passed the emergency appropriation
bill carrying $183,000 of deficiencies
and placing at the disposal of the
president $/>0,000,000 for national de
fense. The vote by which the measure
was passed was unanimous. Seventy
sis short and emphatic speeches were
delivered in favor of the bill, each one
being simply a ringing "aye" during
the roll call upon the passage of the
measure. Not only did every senator
present register his vote in favor of
the bill, but for every absent member
the announcement was made that if
he was present he would vote aye.
From the time the. bill was presented
to the senate by Mr. Hale until it was
passed not an inharmonious note was
sounded. i'arty lines were swept
aside.
Twelve minutes after the bill was
reported to the senate the vice presi
dent announced its unanimous pass
age. The great work was accomplished
so quickly that most of the people who
crowded the galleries scarcely realized
that the measure, so far as congress
was concerned, had become a law.
Some of the spectators fully grasped
the meaning of the senate's action and
when the announcement of the vote
was made a murmur of applause ran
through the galleries. The members
of the senate, however, maintained a
dignified silence.
TWO MONSTER GUNS.
One In Already Completed and the Other
Will be Finltlied In ,lune for Our Govern
ment.
Reading, Pa., March 10.—The Car
penter steel works has been asked to
bid on over 11,000 shells of various
sizes for the government. The con
tract would amount to nearly 81,750,-
000. The entire plant is now working
night and day on a government con
tract involving 8500,000. The Pennsyl
vania Diamond Drill Manufacturing
Co. at Birdsboro yesterday received
orders to execute work known as "re
assembling" upon the five-inch seg
mental tube wire gun recently built
by the compary and accepted by the
government.
The gun was tested at Sandy Hook
and 21(1 shots were fired. It is 10 feet
long and weighs 8% tons. It fires a
shot weighing (50 pounds and at the
test attained a maximum battery pres
sure of 05,000 pounds per square inch.
The muzzle velocity was 8,285 feet per
second and the maximum range nine
miles. The work will be completed
in from 80 to (JO days and it is said the
gun may be mounted on one of the
auxiliary cruisers. The Reading Iron
Co. is building a ten-inch gun for the
government on the same segmental
plan as the above.
THE MONTGOMERY AT HAVANA.
An American Cruiser Casta Anchor In the

Havana, March 10. —The arrival here
Wednesday of the cruiser Montgomery
was very St being generally un
derstood that she comes to replace the
Fern as quarters for Capt. Sigsbee and
others. Commander Converse, of the
Montgomery, is a high authority on
explosives and his advice will be useful
to the court of inquiry into the loss of
the Maine. After firing the usual
salute and being saluted in return, the
Montgomery was moored in the princi
pal harbor, near the wreck of the
Maine and in the center of a circle ol
Spanish ships.
The Montgomery is as trim and neat
as possible. Nobody is allowed on
board without permission, but nobody
is excluded if business or courtesy de
mands the admission of the visitor.
There is no intimation of the length
of the cruiser's stay. The court of in
quiry held its usual sessions yesterday,
examining the divers. Only the Span
ish divers were at work.

Wilkesbarre, l'a., March 10.—The
jury in tne case of Sheriff Martin and
his deputies, charged with killing
strikers at Lattimer on September 10
last, yesterday returned a verdict ol
not guilty.
When the jury retired Tuesday even
ing they took only one ballot and it
wrs unanimous for acquittal. It is
said the jury was prepared to render a
verdict before leaving tile box. After
the jury had been discharged by Judge
Woodward, District Attorney Martin
asked that the defendants be required
to continue their bail bonds, as there
are still 17 indictments for murder
hanging over them and 88 for wound
ing. The bond was continued. Dis
trict Attorney Martin says he has not
decided what to do wivh these other
cases. The prosecuting committee, it
is said, will insist upon further prose

ment "Spri« of Myrtle," says in a recent let
ter to Dr. liartman: "Permit me to express
to you my appreciation of the benefits that
I have derived from u*ing I'e ru-na in my
family. Iteing a nwin of limited means. I have
had to he careful not to spend any more
money than was necessary on doctor bills.
Some two years ago I began using l'e-ruria
in my family as a family doctor, and I have
been highly pleased with the result. My
Wife has used it for catarrh and experienced
great relief. My little girl has been sick a
number of times, and when we used your
medicine it proved a success. I have used it
myself several times and consider it a very
valuable medicine. I keep it in the house to
save doctor bills, and it has saved me many.
Speaking from personal observation, I con
sider it a good investment to keep it in my
home, and believe evcrv man who desires
to relieve suffering, and at the same time
save money, should investigate in a careful
manner the real merits of not onlv Pe-ru-na,
but your other medicines." Send for a free
book on catarrh. Address Dr. Hartman,
Columbus, Ohio.
Activity is only beautiful when it is

Hypnotic Wonders.
No one need togo to Paris now to see all
that is marvelous in hypnotism. In the
hypnotic wards of many hospitals of this
country are hypnotic subjects that a mere
glance, it is said, throws them into the
trance state. Putin order to overcome
that obstinate kidney trouble, the persist
ent use of Hostetter's Stomach Hitters is
necessary. Use it also systematically for
malarial, bilious, dyspeptic, rheumatic and
nervous diseases.
