EDITORIAL COriMENT.
The rapid growth of the protec
tion sentiment in the South is
illustrated by a letter received
from a Virginia Democrat pub
lished in the New York Sun. in
which he declares that the Wilson
law was an aggregation of iniqui
ties and that the only objection to
the Dingle} law is that ii does not
go l'ar enough in the interest of
protect ion.
A recent diepatch from Nebraska
commenting upon the local elec
tions in that State, says:"The
free-silver issue, whieli was made
the leading feature of these elec
tions last year, is being ignored
now, old party lines and municipal
reforms being the issue. This is
accepted as certain sjgn of weak
ness on the part of Nebraska silver
men."
Southern writers and economists
continue to urge a diversification
of industries in that section under
the stimulus given by the new pro
tective tariff. The Charlestown
News and Courier in a recent issue
calls attention to the fact that al
though the South produced more
than 11.000.000 bales of cotton last
yeai. it did not raise enough foods
and provision crops to support its
own population six months, and
has been buying corn, hay and
\ heat in the West, and concludes
that the producers of that section
ought to follow the example of
those now engaged in the enter
prise of diversifying industries
which have been so greatly encour
aged in that section since the en
actment ofthe Dingley law.
President McKinley's thoughtful
and conscientious course in deter
mining the linal action of the Ad
ministration upon the Cuban ques
tion i» being generally commended
l»y citizens and newspapers irre
spective of party. Xo President,
since Lincoln, ha.--had such a grave
problem to solve, including as it
does, not only the difficulties,
dangers and assured loss of lives
c-f American soldiers and citizens,
ii' war shall be undertaken, but
with these the danger of the intro
duction of yellow fever from Cuba
during the summer months by
reason of the constant intercom
munication which would be ab
solutely necessary if war should he
entered upon and American troops
sent to that island.
The Franklin Citizen-Press di
agnoses the political situation in
Pennsylvania, so far as the Repub
lican party is concerned, very ac
curately in the following paragraph:
If the Republican leaders would
heed the voice of the intelligent,
conservative members of the party
throughout the State, the nomina
tion of Hon. C. W. Stone, for
Governor, by Ihe State Convention
would be assured by a large major
ity. His nomination would unite
the party at the polls in November
next and a rousing victory for the
party all along the line would
result.
The riessaste ami its Critics.
President McKinley faces, on
his message upon the Maine dis
aster, says the Philadelphia Press,
precisely the criticism made upon
Lincoln thirty-eight years a^o.
President Lincoln was denounced
then because he did not instantly
issue an emancipation proclama
tion. President McKinley is at
tacked now because lie does not
immediately and in direct terms
dcma-nrl reparation of Spain. His
tory justified President McKinley's
predecessor and history will justify
him.
President McKinley, by his
course, has placed the I 'nited States
where the civilized world is forced
to give this country its support
and approval. Spain has placed
on its shoulders the burden of just
ification and exculpation. The
I'nited States is left free to act as
the outcome demands. Spain is
forced either to defend itself or to
accept the responsibility for a great
disaster and offer reparation.
In this, as in all his policies, the
President has secured for the
I'nited States freedom of action
and the approval of the world.
Spain is left where either denial or
excuse is equally difficult and
equally dangerous. (Jreat nations
never need haste. Assured power
needs never to force a situation, to
anticipate events or to assert its
will. The gravitation of time and
the working of events are on its
side.
Nothing is to-day clearer than
the wisdom of the slow, firm and
scrupulously just policy President
McKinley adopted last Fall. Step
by step it has forced Spain from
posit ion after position and from con
cession to concession. At no point
has oiiractiou been open tocritieism.
At none has Spain been able to offer
a valid resistance. In dealing
with the Maine PresidentMcKinley
has taken the same policy which
leaves the I 'nited States always in
the right and always free to take
the next step toward the right.
Act One Way or the Other--But Act.
No one can read the speech of
Senator Thurston without feeling
that the time has come when we
must face this Cuban question and
settle it one way or the other, says
the Philadelphia' Inquirer.
President Cleveland nearly a
year and a half ago made it plain
to Spain that unless she ended the
war in Cuba it would be necessary
for this country to interfere. Pres
ident Mciviniey in his first annual
message, took the same ground.
Since then we have had reports
from Cuba of a most alarming state
of affairs.
Autonomy is a failure. Spain
cannot conquer the insurrection.
On the other hand she is pursuing
the policy of starvation and ex
termination. Our own Senators
and Representatives so report after
investigating upon their own per
sonal responsibility, and there is
1 lie disaster to the Maine to show
that if Spain is not herself guilty,
at least she cannot control the
action of her followers in Havana.
And now what are we going to
do about it ? Two hundred thous
and, 300,000, 400,000 —no one can
tell how many—men, women and
children are dead, and 200,000
more are dying. The dying thous
ands are calling for help, and those
who are not yet victims, but may
b■, are asking for aid. And this
is the century of civilization and
progress! What, indeed, are we
going to do about it?
Let us settle this matter now.
There are two things that can be
done. We must either stop this
war or permit it togo on. There
win lie no dilly-dallying. There
must be no half-way measures.
One thing or the other—which
shall it be? The recognition of
belligerency at this late day would
amount to nothing. It would
simply auger Spain without ac
complishing results. We might
recognize the independence of the
Republic of Cuba, but what good
would that do unless we are pre
pared to intervene and make that
independence a fact and not a fic
tion ? We can send provisions to
the starving, but unless warfare
CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, MARCH 31, 1898.
ceases we can keep on sending pro
visions until extermination is com
plete.
The Maine disaster is ;in inci
dent, but Cuba, is a horrible condi
tion.
We have every right to intervene.
The civilized world will applaud
our interference for the right. Our
business interests demand that an
end shall lie put to hostilities.
From the standpoint of dollars and
cents this uncertainty is demoral
izing and unsettling. The more
we delay the more uncertain will
become our business conditions.
Every day of delay, too, adds to
the already terrible death list.
This question, we repeat, must
be met. Let us settle it 011 c way
or the other—but settle it!
Let us wash our hands of the
whole business and declare that the
conditions in Cuba are nothing to
us or else put a stop to disease,
starvation and death.
The Ilonesdale Citizen in speak
ing of candidates for Governor
says: -'Keep your eye 011 Charles
\V. Stone. He is making a inanly,
quiet fight, while attending to his
. Congressional duties. This much
may be said, that while there may
lie an independent movement if
Wm. A. Stone is nominated, the
, choosing of Charles W. Stone
would completely forestall any
j such move. Here is a man above
reproacjj; who would be acceptable
to all factions of the party. No
enemies near home and hosts of
: friends all over the State. Experi
enced, resourceful, genial, and
withal a thorough Republican, he
is the most available man for Gov
ernor to-day. lie is the first choice
of a great many workers, and the
second choice of many more.
Yellow Jaundice Cured.
Suffering humanity should be sup
plied with every means possible for its
relief. It is with pleasure we publish
the following: "This is to certify that
I was a terrible sufferer from Yellow
Jaundice for over six months, and was
treated by some of the best physicians
in our city and all to 110 avail. Dr.
Bell, our druggist, recommended Elec
tric Bitters; and alter taKing two bottles
I was entirely cured. I now take great
pleasure in recommending them to any
person suffering from this terrible
malady. lam gratefully yours, M. A.
Hogarty, Lexington. Ky." Sold by L.
Taggart, druggist.
Oiled paper wrapped around a loaf
of bread when it is taken from the oven
is said to keep the bread fresh by hold
ing the moisture in.
Discovered by a Woman.
Another great disco very has been
made, and that too, by a lady iu this
country, "Disease fastened its clutches
upon her and for seven years she with
stood its severest tests, but her vital
organs were undermined and death
seemed imminent. For three months
she coughed incessantly, and could not
sle»p. She finally discovered a way to
recovery, by purchasing of us a bottle
of Dr. King's New Di-covery for Con
sumption, and was so much relieved on
taking first dose, that she slept all
night; and with two bottles has been
absolutely cured. Her name is Mrs.
Luther Lutz." Thus writes W. C.
Hamnick & Co., of Shelby, N. C. Trial
bottles free at L. Taggart's drug store.
Regular size 50e. and §I.OO. Every
bottle guaranteed.
The molasses used in making ginger
bread is greatly improved by being
first boiled, then skimmed.
A Horrible Itailroad Accident
Is a daily chronicle in our papers;
also the death of some dear friend, who
had died with consumption, whereas,
if he or she had taken Otto's Cure for
Throat and Lung diseases in time, life
would have been rendered long and
perhaps saved. Heed the warning!

the throat and lungs call at It. C Dod

The Trouble Over.
A prominent man in town said the
other day: "My wife has been wear
ing out her life from the effects of
dyspepsia, liver complaint and indi
gestion. Her case baffled the skill of
our best physicians. After using three
packages of Beacon's Celery King for
the Nerves she is almost entirely well."

I desire to attest to the the merits of
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy as one
of the most valuable and efficient pre
parations 011 the market. It broke an
exceedingly dangerous cough for me in
24 hours, and in gratitude therefor, I
desire to inform you that 112 never will
