In referring to the gubernatorial contest the Pittsburg News pub lishes a Ilarrisburg dispatch which says: The friends of Congressman Clias. \Y. Stone, who have been activelv engaged in his behalf all over tlie state, are jubilant over the outlook,and say that their man is almost certain to be nominated. Chairman Myers, of the Warren countv Republican committee, who has been going up and down the state making delegates for the Warren Stone, says the Allegany Stone is not in the race any more and that the Warren man will surely carry off the prize. The fact that the Lancaster and North umberland delegations have slipped from the Allegheny to the Warren column is regarded as significant, because these two counties were supposed to be for the Allegheny man all the time. The C. W. Stone headquarters will be opened at the Locliiel Hotel on Saturday, and by Monday a large party of northwestern Republicans will be here to work from their man from Warren. Valuable and Important. Capt. .John W. Merritt lias been trading with the Philippines for more than forty years, lie knows of their resources and cababilities. In an interview with the New York Sun, he says: If the United .States will hold on to Manila or take possession of the entire Philippine group they will confer unbounded benefit upon the American merchants engaged in the Pacific trade, and add consid erable to the revenues of our coun try. Besides the cost of the war could soon be repaid into our treasury from the tax 011 imports and exports imposed at Manila alone. I don't pretend to discuss the va>t advantage that port offers as a coaling station and general gov ernmental depot iu the far East, which is a subject for the consid eration of statesmen, but I argue from the point and experience of an old trader with an eye to busi ness. There is no calculating the wealth of the islands. Most of the products brought to this country are coffee, indigo, sugar cane, tobacco (a Government monopoly) spices, pepper, pina linen made from the pineapple fiber, hats and cordage. But locked up in the many mountains of the islands are millions of tons of iron, copper, coal and sulphur. As for the timber, there is noth ing to equal it quality and quantity. The Spanish have never been able to develop the islands, and the Chinese had not sufficient means to put their full productiveness to the test. There is some gold to be found in the sands of the hundreds of rivers, but the Philippines are not exactly a Klondike. With American methods, improvements and good Yankee business sagacity I venture to assert that the islands could be made to yield 10 times as much as they do at present. What it Will Do.

WASHINGTON LETTER. I Jwom oirr Regular Correspondent.) WASHINGTON, May SO, 1898. President Mckinley and Secre t-clary Long arc satisfied from in formation they have received, official and otherwise, that Com modore Seliley has the Spanish fleet penned up in (he harbor at Santiago harbor. If the Spanish H.-et is there, it; will be helpless to do us any harm, and -w ill in the end be absolutely hound to he captured or destroyed. Although a portion of the volunteer army is still unprovided with all needed equipments, there are more than 2r»,(M>o men, about three-fourths regulars, ready for embarkation, and they can all belauded in Cuba within twenty-four hours after orders are issued. President McKinley left his work long enough Saturday afternoon to visit Cam]) Alger, on the Virgina side of the Potomac, near Wash ington.and reviewed 13,000 of the 20.000 volunteers now assembled there; laek of equipments pre vented all of the men taking part in the review. President Mc- Kinley expressed himself as highly pleased by the spirit displayed by the men. This week each of the governors will be officially notified of the number of men his state is expected to furnish on the second call for troops, by the President last week. There is no especial hurry about enlisting these 75,000 men. I n the first place, they will probably not be needed: they have been called for more to provide for unexpected ! contingencies than because of any j pressing need for them at this | time, and in the next place, there | will be no equipment for them ; until after those already in service j have been all provided for. The Memorial Day exercises at Arlington and other cemeteries in the vicinity of Washington were unusually interesting this year. What is treason? This question becomes of the greatest importance when the country is engaged in war. It is a serious matter to accuse men ol' heing traitors, but black doesn't become white be cause it isn't called black. In time of peace it was all right for men to oppose the annexation of Hawaii because they did not per sonally believe that this country would be benefitted thereby; but, now that the President, las entire Cabinet, and every officer in the army and navy whose opinion has been asked, have declared that the immediate annexation of Hawaii is a military necessity, without which our attempting to hold the Philip pine Islands may be turned into a disastrous failure and all of the fruits of Dewey's great victory be lost, is not all right. On the con trary it is all wrong. That free speech may at times become dan gerous is shown by the activity of the sugar trust lobby to prevent Congress providing for annexation of Hawaii, notwithstanding that the administration, a large majority of Congress and an overwhelming majority of people were strongly in favor of annexation even before il was declared to have become a military necessity. If this lobby isn't guilty of treason, it is danger ously near to being guilty. From the day tli :* President declared an nexation to be a military necessity it lias been the patriotic duty of Congress to annex, without regard to personal opinion of individuals. Just as soon as President Mc- Kinley can get the time he will issue an order, in accordance with an elaborate opinion prepared by Attorney General Griggs, declar ing that the Government Printing Office never was legally under the civil service rules, because it he longs under the legislative, and not the executive branch of the government. The same opinion has operated to put an end to the movement for the placing of Con gressional Library under the civil service rules, because the Library, like the Government Printing Office, is a Congressional institu tion. There are many desirable places in the G. < K P. now held by democrats, Paymaster < Jeneral Stanton has made plans which will ensure the regular payment of the troops sent to the Philippine Islands. Pay masters supplied with money enough for three month's pay ac companied Ihe troops which have already gone and the same plan will be followed as other troops are sent. Only gold and silver will be used in making these payments. Senator Gorman exploded a few bonbs in the ranks of the anti-bond silverites in the Senate in a patri otic speech he made in favor of upholding the hands of the gov ernment by authorizing the issue of bonds, and opposing the issue of either silver certificates or green backs. After calling attention to the fact that no war had ever been fought without an issue of bonds, and expressing the opinion that none was ever likely to be, Mr. Gorman exploded his heaviest CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, JUNE 2, 1898. bomb by saying that if the Senate rcfuseil (o authorize bonds, the President would be compelled to issued them, as soon as he was houn to have nione\. under the law of IN7r>.
