Only, for his soul's sake, we would beseech him to avoid making the Pharisee's fuss over it.and reviling his neighbor who sees different ly." This is sound sense. The crank is harmless, but the crank with a mission 3s a nuisance. A peculiar trait of American char acter is shown in the Cervera incident. He was captured while the warspiri' was highest, but as soon as he became a prisoner he was treated with the ut most consideration by the very people who might naturally be expected to manifest the greatest hatred for him. The old admiral had to wait until he had landed again on home soil before he could realize that he had been en gaged in a war.

PUSHING WAR ISSUES. Utmorrali Are Krfling Aronnd to Find a Substitute fur Free Silver. The democrats are pushing' war is sues to the front in their state and congressional campaigns. Nearly every democratic state convention has adopted resolutions antagonistic to 'he annexation policy of President Me- Kinley's administration. In New Hampshire the democratic convention declared against the acquisition of any territory except for coaling and naval stations. The sume declaration was made in the lowa convention. The Missouri convention declared against the annexation of the Philippines or other territory in the eastern hem isphere. In Vermont the convention opposed the "imperialistic policy of the republican party." In Ohio the democrats declared that they did not want the Philippines annexed under eny conditions. On the othtr hand, the republican convention in California declared that national welfare demanded the reten tion of the Philippines. The Vermont convention opposed the-surrender to Spanish misrule of any territory now or hereafter acquired. The Colorado republicans declared unqualifiedly in favor of keeping forever in place the American flag wherever it has been unfurled. Ohio approved the presi dent's policy Illinois declared that the United States should hold such possessions in the conquered territory as would be advantageous to its inter ests in time of war and peace. New Hampshire declared in favor of such disposition of the Philippines as would extinguish the sovereignty of Spain and make good our obligations to the peoples of these islands. New Jersey declared emphatically in favor of the expansion policy of the administra tion, and the New York convention spoke as positively. At first there was disinclination on the part of the democratic managers to grapple with the war issue. The campaign on land and sea was so suc cessful and the results so great that they could not. as in 1804, say that the war was a failure. But within recent weeks the yellow press campaign, en larging on the horrors of war, has in fluenced democrats to make the con duct of the war an issue. The demo cratic convention in Connecticut made the astonishing declaration that.while the war had been a great success and had brought new honors to the Amer ican people and fresh glory to their flag, the management of the war "has chilled our exultation and brought home to us a sense of shame." II charged the administration that has conducted the most successful war in | our history with incompetence and j venality. In Illinois and in New York the democrats are taking practically the same position. Everywhere the word has gone out to dwell on the horrors of the war in an effort to make the people forget the glories of the war. The democrats are making the same mistake in ISOB that they made in 1864. Then in the very crisis of the war for the union, just before the At lanta campaign, when the great issues of the war were hanging in the bal ance, when the union cause needed strengthening and the union soldiers encouragement, the national demo cratic convention declared the war a failure and asked for a cessation of hostilities. Thousands of war demo crats in the army and out turned squarely against the infamous and treasonable platform of their party and supported Abraham Lincoln i gainst George P.. McClellan. So dis astrous was the blunder of the demo crats in 1864 that it required 20 years for the party to regain the confidence cf the people. Some of the most con spicuous democrats of the time open ly went over to the republican party, and in many of the regiments in the field not a single vote was cast for the democratic candidate. It seems incredible that the demo cratic leaders of this day should re peat the blunder of 1864. but they are doing it. Certain republicans are giv ing them aid in trying to push petty local issues to the front. This is a suicidal policy. The issues of this cam paign are the expansion pol icy of Pres ident McKinley and the conduct of the war. Will the people stand by the ad ministration that brought the three months' campaign to so glorious an end. or will they turn just when the Spaniards are watching every indica tion of public sentiment and give en couragement to the enemy by repudia tion of the war policy and war admin istration? This is the issue, and it can not be evaded. The democrats are against holding the Philippines, against the annexation of Puerto Pico and Cuba, and they were against the | annexation of Hawaii. They are in favor of belittling the results of the war in the interest of partisan ad vantage. Republicans should vote this time for the army and navy, for the expansion policy and for the approval of the war policy. Chicago Inter Ocean. election of a house hostile to the administration would be a na tional calamity. It would halt and turn backward a rising tide of agricul tural. industrial and commercial pros perity which under a continuance of present conditions seems destined to surpass the proudest records of the nation. The approaching struggle will result in the election of a republican house. Of that we have no doubt what ever. But it will be no mere boys'play, and the sooner we make up our minds to that fact the better. —N. Y. Mail and Express.

CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 13, 1898. SILVER BEING DROPPED. I The Itrmm-rntM Are I.etlliiK <■» of ■ lie Cnnilirrnnnir (Inap Money I'lnnk. The simultaneous repudiation of sil ver by the Connecticut democratic stateconvention and by Brooks Adams, a former Massachusetts Bryanite lead er, show that the democratic party east of the Alleghenies has forever broken with the sixteen to one folly. In the Connecticut convention there was a square fight made on the sixteen to one issue. An out and out goid man was nominated for governor, and the attempt of the silver faction to secure a reaffirmation of the Chicago plat form was overwhelmingly beaten. About the same time that the Con necticut democrats were overthrow ing the silver element of their party Brooks Adams, one of the best known of the living members of the great Adams family, was declaring that the silver issue was forever dead in this country. The surprising part of the Adams matter is not that he has aban doned the silver cause, but that he ever embraced it. The only books or tracts of any ability ever printed on the silver side were written by Adams. His advocacy of sil*-erism in 1896 gave a semblance of solidity and respect ability to the sixteen to one fraud such as it did not get from any other source. This repudiation of silver by the eastern dtmocrats is. of course, of na tional significance. Connecticut's ac tion will probably be followed by the New York democrat? in their state convention. A strong attempt has been made by the Bryanites to get the New York democrats to indorse the money plank of their party's platform of 1596. This object sent ex-Gov. Stone, of Missouri, on his recent eastern pil grimage. Stone, as well as Bryan and all the other silver chieftains, fee! that if silver is defeated in the coming New York convention it will have no chance in the national gathering in 1900. If Xew York's democracy re fuses to sanction the democratic money plank of 1896 no state in the entire east will accept it, and this will force its abandonment by the national democracy. New York was whipped into line for the support of silver in 1896. but the plurality of 268.000 against that foil J' in that state in that year will frighten the western and southern democrats from attempting any such disciplinary measure two years hence. The democratic leaders know that while the republicans may be able to win without New York, that state's electoral vote will be absolutely es sential to democratic success. There is no room ior doubt now that silverism will be immediately and for ever abandoned by the democracy of 'every eastern state."The free silver cause is hopeless in this country." says Joseph B. Sargent, the Bryanite condi *'ate for governor in Connecticut in 1896. Sargent has given up the silver tight, and the majority of his support ers of two years ago are following his course. Silverism is doomed in this country, and Bryan. Stone. Blaml and the rest of the fanatics will discover this truth long before the convention of 1900 meets. The national democ racy will not deliberately throw the whole cf the eastern group of states into (he republican column two years hence, as they did two years ago. They said then that they could win without the east, but the immense preponder ance against Bryan in the electoral college has cured the western demo cratic leaders of this lunacy. No policy which the eastern democrats will re ject will be sanctioned by the next na tional convention. For selfi'h reasons the republicans would be glad to see the democrats two years hence put up the ticket upon the old platform, as that would make the republican vic tory easier and bigger than it was two years ago. but it is safe to predict that a new set of men and a different set of influences will be at the front in demo cratic politics in 1900. —St. Louis Globe- Democrat.

ICT'The Dinglcy tariff law is vindicat ing itself.

CAeeording to the way the demo crats 'ook at the Maine election the republicans gained a great victory in Arkansas, where the falling cfT from Bryan's vote is near 35.000. But then we have nothing to show for the vic tory. and neither have the democrats anything to show as the frui's of their triumph in Maine, but they are claim ing things, and it is rude to stop them. —Cincinnati Commercial Tribune. 11-U IN COURT. Tha Senator and His Sor> are Held for Trial. 1 lie Preliminary Hearing In tt.e ("on«|»lra ry Cane Against tlie Kirnuui Poli tician Ih Marked l>y a Lively Le gal Contest Over the In troduction of KvlUence. Philadelphia, Oct. 6.—Senator Quay, his son Kichard, and Charles 11. Me- Kee, of Pittsburg, law partner of Lieut. Gov. Lyon, appeared before Magistrate Jertnon in the Central sta tion court yesterday to answer to the charge of conspiracy in the alleged misuse of public money in connection with John S. Hopkins, former cashier of the People's bank, of this city, who committed suicide soon after the fail ure of the bank in March last. Ex- State Treasurer Haywood, for whom n warrant has been issued in connec tion with the conspiracy charges, was not in court, but it is promised that he will be here on Friday to answer to his accuser. After a hearing Sen ator Quay, his son and Mr. MeKee were bound over for appearance at the next term of court. I'.ail was fixed at $5,000 in each case, David H. Lane, a local political leader, going bail. The case now goes for trial at the November term of court. The testimony produced by District Attorney Graham was in the shape of al»out 20 letters and numerous tele grams covering a period from Septem ber. 1897. to February. 189 tt , addressed by Senator Quay to Cashier Hopkins, directing the purchase and sale of large blocks of stocks and arranging for the placing of margins; a letter from State Treasurer Haywood to the president of the People's bank, and a private memorandum book of Cashier Hopkins'. The lawyers representing the accused fought hard against the introduction of the latter, but it went in as evidence. The district attorney averred that the evidence he produced showed that Senator Quay had the use of $200,000 of the state's deposit of over $500,000 in the People's bank for stock specu lation; that Haywood placed SIOO,OOO of state funds in the People's bank on condition that that amount of money lie loaned to Senator Quay's son. and that there was a regular assignment of interest on state deposits in flie bank to certain accounts, one-third of it going to MeKee, all of which he claimed was a violation of the state law prohibiting a bank official from making such transactions and that the accused persons were guilty of conspiracy in joining with Hopkins in these transactions. liufus K. Shaplcy and A. S. Shields, two of the brightest lights of the local bar. represented the accused. The at torneys for the defense opened the proceedings with a fruitless effort to secure from the district attorney the names of the persons responsible for the prosecution. There were only three witnesses. The first was Thomas W. Harlow, re ceiver for the People's bank, who is also a special assistant district attor ney. Mr. Barlow stated that in his capacity as receiver he opened the dead cashier's desk and found among other things a number of letters and telegrams and a book containing memoranda in Hopkins' handwriting. This book, referred to by Lawyer Shields as "the red book." was about a foot square and contained 200 pages. Albert L. Tabor, receiving teller of the People's bank, identified the hand writing in the book as that of Cashier Hopkins and also identified a num ber of letters as written by Senator Quay and Treasurer Haywood. A number of these letters were putin evidence, one from Haywood to Pres ident McManes. saying that $600,000 of state funds would be deposited the following week and that Richard Quay be allowed to borrow SIOO,OOO. Through the third witness, Meyer (loldsmith. an expert accountant who had worked on the bank's books, Mr. Graham finally got the "red book" ad mitted in evidence. Only a few entries were read. They showed that between April .10 and Oct fiber 31, 1897. the state deposit in the bank ran up from $525,000 to $565,000. From this total there was a deduction of 20 per cent, evidently as Mr. Graham explained it.for the bank's use; then an entry "less $200,- 000 Quay. 184 days." For this period the interest was computed in the hand book as $5,944, one-third of which was marked paid "C. 11. McK." In October. 1896, there was a compu tation of interest on state deposits amounting to $7,253. of which $2,451, or one-third, was marked "handed to ('. H. MeK." Mr. Quay last night in response to an inquiry for a statement by a re porter spoke as follows: I think no one who was present at the hear ing to-day entertains afiv doubt to the truth fulness of the charge boldly made by my coin? scl that this proceeding was instigated hv po litical enemies of mine who hide behind the district attorney and will not nermit him to renal their names, and that t'eir sole pur pose was to manufacture campaign "literature by false charges that could not be met and answered except on a trial in court. tea the following letter to Dr. Ilartman, P* um^>us ' originator of Pe-ru-na: " our welcome advice is at hand, and my gratitude is unbounded for the privilege I 1 S£3U- > enjoy of coneultingsorenowned a physician as yourself, always receiving such prompt an d satisfactory replies to my questions, pfc And what amazes me most is that this /fe,be done year after year, with unfail jf^~> have learned thatj-ou havebecomti households the same beneficent guide and adviser that you are **yw Alflr '!/ them everyone, and treasure their /If Av 1 Yt_ V.
