The recent deadly fire in Chicago,

another illustration of the bravi ry that
!s so ingrained in American humanity
that it only needs, the occasion to be
manifested.
Candles, candles everywhere. That is
the lighting custom in Sweden, where
one firm turns out for home use an
nually about 21,000,000 of candles of all
sizes, from two to seven feet in length.
In the larger cities electricity has been
introduced to a limited extent, but
among the people candles are as much
as ever a necessary household conven
ience.
Arbitration will probably settle that
Alaska boundary question between the
United States and Great Britain. In
♦he century and a little over the na
tion's e?;istence the United States has
had more than a dozen exciting contro
versies with England, but in only one
instance did war result. There will be
no conflict in this case. Both countries
want peace.
Dr. Willis E. Everett, of Tacoma,
Wash., chemist and expert in the treat
ment of ores, ended 70 years of experi
menting with the statement that under
great heat, accompanied by explosions,
he had produced gold, silver, nickel and
copper from a combination of chem
ically pure sulphur, sodium oxide. anti
mony, iron, lead, oxide and carbon, with
lime, silica and alumina.
Though 30 years have passed since
Maximilian was shot in Mexico his
brother, the emperor of Austria, al

If), the anniversary of that tragic event.
At the castle of Miramar. near Trieste,
on the Adriatic, the rooms occupied by
Archduke Maximilian before leaving
for the new world are kept, by the em
peror's orders, just as his brother left
tLem when he went to his death.
Some enterprising Maine men are do
ing their best to allay the fears ex
pressed in some quarters that the sup
ply of gold is becoming insufficient for
the world's uses. They have been en
gaged in obtaining the precious metal
from salt water and believe tthey have
succeeded. Like many another alleged
discovery, this is "important if true."
If gold can really be obtained in paying
quantities from the water of the ocean
the question of supply is settled for all
time.
So much interest is at present being
manifested iu the United States army
and navy that the relative rank of offi
cers in the two branches of service is
herewith given, lineal rank only being
considered: General with admiral,
lieutenant general with vice admiral,
major general with rear admiral, brig
adier general with commodore, colonel
with captain, lieutenant colonel with
commander, major with lieutenant com
mander, captain with lieutenant, first
lieutenant with lieutenant (junior
grade), second lieutenant with ensign.
The attorney-general of Colorado has
furnished an opinion that there no
law for women in that state dropping
"their maiden name on the simple ex
cuse of a wedding. The question call
ing for the decision came from a woman
notary public who was recently mar
ried. She asked under what name she
should continue to exist officially, and
was gratified with the announcement
that she must sign all documents as be
fore marriage, for, the attorney-general
says, "there is no authority for n
change of name at marriage or any
other time."
The passing away of Sir Ilenry Hes
senaer has recalled the history of his
great invention and its effect upon in
dustries of the world. The productior
of steel in Great Britain increased many
fold and there was a great reduction in
the cost of manufacture. In cheapen
ing steel the Bessemer invention has
cheapened siecl rails, engines, locomo
•fives, bridges and all the factors ot
transportation. It has also created h
new influence in civilization, and inau
gurated changes of importance that
Irave added greatly to the comforts and
luxuries of life.
11. O. Weaver, of the United States
commission of fish and fisheries, has
sent it report to Wisconsin fishermen on
the fisheries of Lakes Michigan, Huron
and Erie. lie says that the herring
catch of Lake Michigan for the last year
was over 22,000,000 pounds. This great
ly exceeds the production of any pre
vious year covered by the commission's
reports, and for the first time in the
history of the great lakes surpasses the
lierring catch on Lake Krie, where the
yield was slightly under 20,000,000
pounds. The trout catch has been light
the past season.
HANNA ANSWERS HIS CRITICS.
The Ohio Statesman Drfrnila Hlln
>tl( (rum Trattoroiia
Attack*.
Almost every charge that malice can
inspire and conscienceless ingenuity
construct has been made against Sen
ator Jliinna by papers opposed to him
in politics. Since the question of Cuban
intervention has been under consid
eration by President McKinley these
papers have persistently asserted that
Senator ilanna has influenced the poli
cy of the administration in the interest
of Wall street stock speculators, includ
ing himself as one, and that he favored
the settlement of the Cuban question
upon a financial basis at the sacrifice of
of national honor.
Knowing the political motives which
inspired these charges. Senator Ilanna
ignored them. Of late, however, they
have been reiterated by papers of the
same party to which the senator be
longs, notably the Chicago and
these latter have elicited a reply, wfiich,
while referring particularly to- the
course of the Tribune, applies as well
to all the papers which have misrepre
sented him by false accusations. Sen
ator Ilanna's reply to his critics is
herewith given in full:
"So long as the attacks on me were con
fined to opposition papers," said Senator
Hanna, "I did not care to pay any atten
tion to them, because I looked upon the
stories as purely political schemes. I feel,
however, when a paper of the dignity and
standing of the Chicago Tribune gives cur
rency to such reports, possibly because I
•*iave failed to deny them, It is time for me
to make an explicit statement as regards
my position in the Cuban matter.
"First of all, 1 want to say that I am
not a stock speculator. I never bought or
sold a share of stock In Wall street. Ido
not to-day own a single share of stock in
any railroad or commercial enterprise ex
cept those with which my name has been
publicly identified and in which I have
made Investments. This being the case,
I have no personal interest In a settlement
of the Cuban question in any way except
for the honor of the United States.
"I have never urged the president of the
United States to settle the Cuban question
on any financial basis whatsoever, nor have
1 indorsed any such proposition to him or
to anyone else. I have been in favor of an
exceedingly conservative course in regard
to Cuba, somewhat on the principle that
charity begins at home, but I can say posi
tively that I have never been influenced by
any financial consideration, either person
ally or for my friends and political asso
ciates.
"I do not believe in buying Cuba, and I
am not and never have been interested in
any syndicate for that purpose. I have
frequently urged the president to be cau
tious in his movements and not to inter
fere with the affairs of a foreign nation
until he had demonstrated the necessity of
such action.
"So far as I know the president has never
seriously considered settling the Cuban
question on a money basis, and if he has
ever done so it has not been at my sug
gestion. I have advised with him as a
friend and as a senator, but 1 have en
deavored not togo beyond that. I can
deny in the most sweeping manner the
stories which originated in rabid demo
cratic papers that I was using my Influ
ence to delay action in regard to Cuba in
the interest of alleged financial organiza
tions. I am sorry that these stories have
been taken up by the republican press, and
I hope the Tribune will accept my denial
in the spirit in which it is offered.
"I have differed with the Tribune as to
the necessity for immediate action iri the
past, but this is a matt-er of opinion only,
and I feel that my motives are beyond sus
picion. 1 do not care for the views of mj'
political enemies, but I am regardful of Mie
opinions of my friends, and the Chicago
Tribune's position as a great republican
newspaper entitles It to this statement
from me."
This is a denial which denies. It not
only exonerates the senator by show
ing the untruthful character of the at
tacks upon him, but it is the best proof,
aside from an official statement by the
executive himself, that the president
has not been influenced in the settle
ment of the Cuban question by any
considerations other than those of hu
manity and national honor.
The attacks which have been made
upon Senator Hanna have been in
reality attacks upon President McKin
ley. It has been the favorite method
of those who could find no reason for
a direct attack to strike at the presi
dent over the shoulders of the senator
from Ohio. That style of warfare is on
a par with the Spanish method of a stab
in the dark or from behind.
Whether or not Senator Ilanna's re
ply will silence his slanderouscritics.it
nevertheless will render them harmless.

Sow They Are .Mam.
The silver combine is not quoting
Dun's and Bradstreet's to the farmers
as much just now as it was in 1890.
Then its representatives spoke in the
highest terms of these publications and
quoted them constantly to show the
fall in prices. Now they carefully
avoid them, for their statistics show a
remarkable rise in the value of all farm
products since the date of the adoption
of the Chicago platform and the equally
retnaikable fall in the price of silver
meantime. Tables just published by
Bradstreet's, comparing , rices of farm
products on March 1. 1«S'.)8, with flvoseof
July 1, 189G, show that in practically
every article there has been an advance
of from 15 to 50 peir cent., while silver
hns fallen nearly as rapidly as the other
articles have advanced. Silver was then
within a fraction of 70 cents an ounce
at the date of the adoption of the Chi
cago platform, and is now but a frac
tion above 54 cents per ounce. Yet farm
products have risen meantime, nnd
since practically all production in this
line is included in the advance, it can
not be claimed that the general rise is
due to "shortage abroad."—Cincinnati
Commercial Tribune.
McKinley has been tried
in the crucible of a great national crisis
and the result brings fortlj a statesman
and an American. The president has
r.hown in his handling of the lie Lome
tetter, the Maine incident, and other
delicate questions, that he is a repre
sentative of the great nation that ele
vated him to its head. While doing all
that was consistent with honor to avert
plunging his country into war, he has
quietly prepared for the inevitable,and
when the moment shall come for the
word to-be spoken it will he found that. I
the government is ready to make it
good.—Peoria Herald (Dem.).
CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, APRIL 7, 1898.
A REPUBLICAN YEAR.
Growth of Rn>lnr», Drereaaa of
Failure* and Fewer.
Idle Men.
Tlie year which has passed since the
republican party has pained control of
tlie government baa been notable in
many respects. It saw a controversy
with Japan over tlie. question of Ha
waiian annexation, which at one time
promised to be embarrassing, but which
was soon settled to the. satisfaction of
both parties. It has seen the Cuban
question reach a stage which threat
ened, and which still threatens, trouble
between the United States and Spain.
The Cuban issue was handed over to
this administration from its predeces
sor, but the situation in several re
spects has changed. Spain has been
forced to withdraw Weylerand to aban
don, so far as she could in the interval
which has passed since his recall, the
more barbarous features of his concen
tration policy. She has also been con
strained to offer the Cubans home rule.
These improvements In Cuban condi
tions were forced by pressure from the
present administration, and it will con
tinue the work until iticauses her to
relinquish her hold on the island.
In the country's domestic affairs the
record has been exceedingly creditable.
The Pacific railroads have been disposed
of in a way in which the people's in
terests were amply protected. A tariff
bill was enacted early in the admin
istration which has made a steady in
crease in the revenues ever since it
went into operation. In the month end
ed a few days ago it furnished a sur
plus over disbursements. Probably in
most of the months hereafter, unless
war comes, there will be surpluses.
The treasury gold is constantly increas
ing. When the fiscal year began tlie
net gold in the treasury was abovit
$140,000,000, while to-day it is close to
$168,000,000. In the preceding admin
istration $202,000,000 of bonds were sold
to buy gold, and the country's interest
bearing debt was increased to that ex
tent. The gold fund has recently been
so high that it has been embarrassing 1
to the government. The government
would rather sell gold now than buy it.
There has been a striking improve
ment in the business field in the past
year. The balance of trade in the coun
try's favor has been larger recently
than it ever was in the past. Gold is
coming into the country notwithstand
ing the immense stock of it which is on
hand. The banks have as great a
plethora of that metal as the treasury,
and the tendency in both is toward
larger and larger hoards. Bank clear
ings are making new" records. Those
for February, 1898, were smaller than
"hey \ve»e for the longer month of Jan
uary, but they were 51 percent, in ex
cess of those of February last year, the
month before the present administra
tion came into power, and they were
fi.4 per cent, greater than in February,
1 SOS. which was the largest previous
record for that month. Railroad earn
ings are at the highest figures ever
touched, and here, too, the drift is still
upward. Iron production is breaking
all records. Coincidently with the
great growth in business which these
figures reveal there is a falling off in
the number of business failures. All
the country's productive energies are
at a high stage of activity. The num
ber of idle men in the country is smaller
than it has been in many years. In
every field, political, financial and in
dustrial, the first year of republican
sway has brought striking changes and
improvements.—St. Louis Globe-Demo
crat.
POLITICAL DRIFT.
lET'Tlie offset to yellow journalism, so
called, is the silver-plated journalism of
the far west, a wretched dead-alive
condition whose sixteen to one stiouts
are varied between times with denun
ciations of the administration in the
present crisis. Any kind of journalism
is preferable to the latter kind.—Phila
delphia Press.
r?"Treasury receipts, which averaged
over $1,000,000 a day in February, are
likely to be considerably heavier than
that in March. The first ten days in
March produced $11,000,000 of revenue,
and it is probable that the month will
show receipts higher than those of any
March since tlie repeal of the McKinley
law.—Cincinnati Commercial Tribune.
ICSpring business seems to be open
ing well throughout the country. This
might have been expected as the nat
ural result in a land which has been do
ing so great an export trade and, under
favorable administrative conditions, re
opening workshops that had suffered
from depression. The United States
has wealth and enterprise. With a re
stored confidence nothing is Sacking.
And fortune always favors the brave.—
Troy Times.
P"Mr. Bryan says that congress
should have made it $100,000,000 instead
of $50,000,000. That shows Mr. IJryan's
heart is all right for Cuba. But if we
had free silver dollars instead of gold
standard dollars now we would have to
appropriate $125,000,000 nearly in order
to make the value of the present $50,-
000,000. When it comes to buying war
materials and even •w.V'.ifr, Uncle Sam
has to pay in gold \vhit<h is the money
of the world.—lowa State Begister.
CTTlie popocratio pirates in Ken
tucky who have saddled their state with
a force bill to enable them to hang on
to power irrespective of the number of
votes which they may get, are betray
ing a fear ot the people which is omin
ous for them and for their party
throughout the country. They concede
that the majority will be against them
in the coining elections, and that they
will have no chance to hold their own
in a square canvass. This is a fatal con
fession. A party which makes this con
fession proclai ms its own tin worthiness,
and.in a democratic country, prepares
for itself a crushing defeat which no
election machinery that rascality can
devise will be able to avert.—St. Louis
Globe-Democrat.
WIDMEN AND THE WHEEL.
From the Gazette, Delaware, Ohio.
The healthfulnes* of bicycle riding for
women la still a disputed'question between
eminent phyaiciana and health reformers.
Used in moderation it aurely creates for
women a means of out-door exercise, the
benefit of which all phyaiciana concede.
I'sed to excess, like any other pastime, ita
effect ia likely to be dangerous.
The experience of Miss Bertha Reed, the
seventeen-year-old daughter of Mr. J. R.
Reed, 335 Lake St., Delaware, Ohio, may
point a moral for parents who, like Mr. and
Mrs. Reed, have experienced some concern
for their daughters who are fond of wheel
ing. In the fall of '96 Miss Bertha, who had
ridden a great deal, began to fail in an alarm
ing manner. She grew steadily paler and
thinner, and it appeared ahe was going into
consumption. Rest and quiet did her abso-

affairs they were recommended by an old
friend to get some of that famous blood

People. They did so, and almost from the
first dose Bertha began to improve. She
continued to take the pills and was by means
of those pills made entirely well, and more

A CURE FOR FOOLISHNESS.
Bovr IlnlTon'a Family Got Illm to tle
alltn from the Muckera and
Kicker*.
Buffon is rich and proud. He comes of a
good old family and is a recognized society
leader of Detroit. He, with some of his
swell bachelor friends, organized the "Puck
ers and Kickers," of which he was made
grand high contortionist. The order had no
object but fun, yet it maintained a show of
mysticism and announced its meetings in
a way to arouse general curiosity.
Puffon went east for a rest and change.
His immediate family and friends did not
like his belonging to a fraternity with such
a name and such doubtful aims. They saw
an opening and proceeded to get even. The
first day at a New York hotel he received a
dozen letters, and on the envelope of each,
in big type, was his name and his title as
§rand high contortionist, followed by the ad
ress to which the le\ter was to be returned
if not culled for. The clerk noticed it, and
others who were getting their mail could
not but see what was as plain as a hand bill.
He was indignant at this use of his official
envelope, and indignation became explosive
ness when a Gotnam theatrical manager
called on him, asked if he belonged to the
"perfesh," and if he were open to engage
ments.
Puffon fired a hot letter home, bearing an
immediate delivery stamp. He informed the
folks that it was in the worst taste to send
private correspondence in a business en
velope. He wanted no more of it. It bad
cost him a great annoyance and he was going
to change his hotel at once. Rut that "grand
nigh contortionist" pursued him like an
avenger until he returned home, raked all
his relatives over the coals, resigned from
the Puckers and Kickers and made a bon
fire of the stationery which he held as grand
high contortionist.—Detroit Free Press.

in the home circle, and medical author

caution as to posture, articulation and
avoidance of excess. Here is where our

NO RELIGION ABOUT FISH.
Tit* Kaatl of Several Are U»ed ai
Taraa of Opprobrium—Skatea,
for Instance.
"Didn't it ever strike you that it's highly
inconsistent to associate fish with Lent, as
the church does, Mrs. Grumpus?" said Mr.
Grumpus at the breakfast table, as he
picked dubiously into the suburbs of hia
fish cake with one tine of his fork. Mr.
Grumpus' appetite had been sufficiently
gratified at the club the previous night to
make him a trifle critical.
"What put that ridiculous action into
your head?" inquired Mrs. Grumpus, with
one eyebrow lifted in a suspicious and in
quiring way.
"Take that popular expression: 'You're
a lobster,' " continued Mr. Grumpus. "Not
that you are a lobster—"
"Oh, let remain, 'You're a lobster,' said
Mrs. Grumpus, cheerfully.
"Mariar, don't trifle. Lobster, now, is a
term of reproach. That's one instance of the
way the finny world is resorted to for an ex
pression of censure. Another old phrase is
as dumb as an oyster.' The very dumbest
thing on earth or in the waters under the
earth, Mariar, is an oyster. It's the very
opposite of a woman, you know, ha, ha.
That's one on you, eh, Mariar? Bemember
that other old term showing how a man
looks to the scaly world when he wants a
simile or a metaphor indicating contempt—
I mean it is still common to call a bad law
yer a 'land shark.' Why, I could prove
now low down fish ere by a number of ex
amples, and yet fish are associated with the
most religious part of the year."
"John ?
"Yes."
"Is there such a fish as a skate?"
"Why—er—yes. I believe there is."
"Is it ever used by men as a simile or a
metaphor in describing other men —some-
times?*'
"You don't mean to be personal, Mrs.
Gru mpus?"
"Well, John, if T were a man I'd say:
'That's one on you'—and now we are even."
Mr. Grumpus grinned and ate his fish cake
like a man, although it had grown cold.—

He Didn't Want the Route.
"Senator Sulloway, of New Hampshire,
tells a good one when he gets warmed on
the civil service question," said one of the
statesmen who came to help the Michigan
club celebrate Washington's birthday.
"Somewhere in the south a bright colored
boy appeared before the commission to be
examined for the position of letter carrier.
"How far is it from the earth to the
moon?" was the first question asked by
those who were to determine the young
man's fitness for the place he sought.
" 'How fah am it from de earf to de

Agent, Detroit, Mich.
Dear Sir: We are pleased to state to you
that we have found the country in the vi
cinity of Alameda fully up to what you
and "Mr. Keller had represented it to be.
It is in fact an ideal location for mixed
farming. The soil ia the best we ever saw,
and as the farmers were all busy at thresh
ing, we had an excellent chance to see ite
productive auality, which cannot be sur
passed anywhere. The cattle could not be
in better condition. We saw two-year-old
steers equal to three-year-old 9 raised in
most places, and these, as all others are
about Alameda, were fed on native hay in
winter and herded in As we had
previous to this visited the Northwestern
States in behalf of a large number of farm
ers, to locate suitable land for mixed farm
ing, we are now in a position to say that
the Alameda district of Western Canada
surpasses them all. The country is equal to
that about Thuringen in Germany. We
were rather skeptic before starting, and our
intention was to settle in spring, if we were
suited, but we have now derided to move
at once —that is, as early this fall as we
possibly can. We left Mr. Riedel at Ala
meda, and take back his report, and we
will take his family and effects with us when
we go. Yours sincerelv,
(Signed) ALBERT MAT,

Alameda, N. W. T., Aug. 31,1897.
Dear Friends of Saginaw:
Those desiring to secure a good and sure
home will do well to take our advice and
examine the land in the neighborhood of
Alameda, as we know that everyone who
sees this land will be agreeably surprised.
Before seeing this land we were partly in
doubt as to moving here, but after looking
it over we at once decided to make our
home here, and we beg those of our friend*
who are desirous of securing farms not to
let this chance slip by, as the soil is of the
best and the water cannot be excelled. The
finest wheat we ever saw is also raised here.
We shall return home in haste, straighten
nut our affairs and move here at once.
Yours truly,
(Signed) WTLLTAM GOTTOWSKI,

Detroit, Mich.
Dear Sir: We have just returned from
the West, and were exceedingly well pleased
with the country. We are going back to
take up our homesteads in early spring.
We received $35.00 per month and board,
working for farmers, and the board wii
the best we ever had—the beef and mutton
especially were excellent. The fine flavor is
owing to the fine grasses which the cattle
and sheep feed upon. The people are very
hospitable and treat their hired help witn
much kindness.
The grain is much heavier than here,
wheat being 62 lbs. to the bushel, oats 48
lbs. and barley often 55 lbs.
Any man with a good team and money
enough to buy provisions and seed for six
months can become rich there in five years.
Many people who arrived there five year*
ago with little or nothing are well off now.
One man I met held his wheat from last
year and was offered $16,000 for this year's
crop and what he had held over from last
year, and is holding it at SI.OO per bushel.
We are going back in the spring to work for
this same farmer until seeding, after which
we will homestead between seeding and
harvest. W r e think we will settle em the
Manitoba & Northwestern R. R.
You can refer anyone to us for this part
of the country while we are here and we
will cheerfully answer any questions which
anyone may wish to ask. Yours trulv,
