THE crops of fruits and vegetables
in Denmark are a complete failure. In
consequence, the prospects for Ameri
can eai-ners is of exceptional bright
ness. and already inquiries are coming
in freely and some good orders have
been received. As the crops in this
country have been most excellent, there
is a prosoect that the canners will get
good prices all through the comiug
winter.
THE case of Henry Washington, col
ored, of 1328 l'hilip street, Philadel
phia, who was operated on for appen
dicitis by Prof. Da Place, at St. Agnes'
hospital recently, is a very rare one.
In the first place, statistics show that
appendicitis is seldom fouud among
colored people, and it is very rare that
it develops in people over the average
age of 23 years, while Washington is
51 years old.
LEirziG university refuses to accept
time spent at the University of Frei

other Herman universities are likely to
follow the example of Leipzig andw ill
refuse to recognizs the Freiburg de
grees as well.
ADDITIONAL experiments by I'rof,
D< ;war have shown that liquid hydro
gen is by far the lightest of all known
liquids. Its density is one-fourteenth
that of water, and, curiously enough,
this happens to be the same ratio of
density that hydrogen in the gaseous
state bears to air. Heretofore the
lightest liquid known has been liqui
fied marsh gas, which possesses about
two-fifths the density of water.
THE farmers of the islands in the

THE Chicago post office is to have a
new permanent employe in the person
of a physician, at a salary of 81,700 per
year. lie will be stationed at the main
office for the purpose of examining
employes who report themselves as be

A FRENCH railroad company has
painted the outside of its passenger
coaches with poetic devices, or the im
ages of stars, fishes, birds, etc., sketch
ed large and in emphatic colors. The
object is to enable the passenger who
gets off for refreshments to recognize
his carriage and class from amid the
crowd and in the gathering dusk. He
says to himself: "I'm the fish, the
scales, the swallow," etc., and makes
for his own place.
THE town of Aleriden, Miss., has
passed a curfew law for adults which
provides that on each night of the
week, except Saturday, no person
shall be allowed to be upon the streets
of tiie city after 8 o'clock, except in
cases of extreme necessity, and said
hour of 8 o'clock to be indicated by
eight taps of the eitv bell. On Satur
day night everybody must seek shelter
at 10 o'clock. The fine for a violation
of the curfew law will be 825.
ACCORDING to Frank A. Vanderlip,

of tlie United States treasury depart

'prosecuting the war were used by the
navy department, 51'.t,811,047 by the
war, $55,000 by the treasury and 853,-

this £29.000.000 and more at its dis
posal the navy department doubled
the number of its vessels. Twenty
seven yachts were converted, 20 tugs,

boats were worked over to be useful
in the navy department.
LTI.I.USTKATION, remarking on the
number of telephones in service in the
United States, deplores the lack of
readiness to employ these instruments
in Europe. In iSerlin, where there are
80.000 in use, the average number of
calls is not more than seven a day—
two in tlie morning and three or four
in the afternoon. Among the Euro

The mugwumps of New York are fol
lowing Roosevelt. With the roufjh
rider as candidate for governor 011 a
platform pledging' that the republican
party will'be faithful to the responsi
bility which the war has created, there
fire no mugwumps or independents in
New York. Joseph 11. Choate and Sctli
Low were a year ago shining lights
in the organization that controlled
150.000 votes in' Greater New York.
To-day they and their associates are
enthusiastic in mipport of RooseveH,
It is not personal admiration or friend
ship that carrips them to the candi
date of the republican organization,
but dievotion to the war policy and the
annexation policy which he represents.
The republican platform in New
York declares against the return of
the Philippine* to Spain and empha
sizes the jKiint that, having assumed
the responsibilities of victory, we must
maintain forever our flag where it has
been raised. This is the platform of
the national republican' adminis
tration as well as of the convention
that nominated Roosevelt. It is an
ideal patriot on a patriot's platform
that, has brought men like Seth Low
and Mr. Choate into the republican or
ganization.
Confronted by the expansion policy
of the republican party on one hand
andi the policy of weak surrender of
the democrat# on the other, thousands
of the business men of New York who
built up the citizens' union are noA
aligning themselves with the repub
licans. They not only favor the candi
date for governor, but are strongly in
sympathy with the McKinley doctrine
enunciated in the New York platform.
Whether mugwumps, independents or
democrats, they supported McKinley in
1896 and' they indorse his war policy
now. So it lias happened that through
the courage of the republicans and the
cowardice and copperhead ism of the
democrats tihe mugwump has l>een
eliminated from New York politics.
Givin the choice between the expansion
policy of the administration and the
anti American policy of the democrats,
the non-partisan idealists'and the in
dependent business men of New York
have chosen as did the same classes in
1804 andi 189tf. Nothing that lias oc
curred in j>olitics in the InM ,'iO years
has given more encouragement to those
who believe in the high mission and
future greatness of the I niled States
than this hegira of the New York mug
wumps. The next congressional dele
gation from the Empire state will IK*
as strong for the war policy as is t"he
present one.
In the meantime, what are our Illi
nois nniprw umps doing? I)o they stand
with Altgeld or McKinley? Are they
slurring our government and whining
over the casualties of the war, like
Carter H. Harrison, or supporting the
policy of congress and the president —
the policy of Dewey, Wheeler andlLee?
Are they standing, with war democrats
and republicans, in support of congres
sional candidates who favor expansion,
or nre they training with those who
advocate surrender of all we have
gained< through war? The New
mugwumps have spoken. Have the Illi
nois mugwumps the courage to define
their attitude on the'greatest issue that
has confronted thenation since thewa*
for the union?— Chicago Inter Ocean.
HOPES OF THE DEMOCRATS.
Tliey K»p«*ct to Achieve Sueeea*
Tkrootcli ])i*«<»nj«loii Amonu
the Republican#.
It, is a good thing for democrats to
comfort themselves with republican
differences. It pleases them, and they
do 1 it so loudly that it instructs the
surrounding universe. They want re
publicans to fall foul of each other
about candidates or else about fac
tions, and they frankly say so. They
hope that some republicans will run
outside tickets' for the benefit of dem
ocratic candidates for congress and
the assembly, and kindly say so. They
are glad to know that a nomination
by an. independent body is to some
republicans a hindrance, and say so
loudly. The}' are to be thanked for
their candor.
It. is not necessary to go l far afieid
to find the source of this deep interest
in republican doings. The democratic
organizations are under the unpleas
ant necessity this year of saying yes
or no on the Bryan question. That
does not mean the free silver question
alone. If it did, the problem would
Vie for many comparatively easy. A
free silver party could not carry New
York unless the republicans were bad
ly divided, as everyone knows. Hut
a man who holdsßryan's notionsabout
the supreme court and about the
rights of labor or other organizations
to get up riots without interference
would not carry any state where the
people have sense enough for self-gov
ernment. and yet a mixture of these
questions with the dislike of some
people for war, and of softie other peo
ple for the way the war has been con
ducted. is the total stock in trade of
'.he democratic party.
That is a large stock, if the repub
licans see fit. to enlarge it. If every
man who did not thinlc the war neces
rarv, or thinks it was not waged ex
actly as it should have been, betakes
himself to the party of I'.ryan for
expression of his fcriings. the so-called
filverpnrty may record some apparent
gains. Tint if democrats hope to win
for l'ryanism through republican dis
sension they are likely to be disap
pointed. The average republican is
not quite destitute of sense, and
knows that it cannot pay to put po
litical adversaries into power merely
because he has faults to find with
euch accounts as he has seen of exist
ing conditions or recent events. — N.

CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1898.
A NEW MASIAGER,
The Free Sllverlten Knunur tt»«» Wet
Nurse of Decadent
II ry allium.
The ink on the eastern democratic
state platforms repudiating the Chi
cago doctrines of 18!)6 is hardly dry
before the western and southwestern
democratic leaders make their re
sponse. And it is a response with a
most unmistakable ring of silver. Con
temptuously as the eastern,democrats
treated the dogma of free silver, their
opinions have twen still more con
temptuously met by the western men
in the appointment of "Coin" Harvey
to l»e "the general' manager" of the
democratic party.
If Harvey is not Ihe father of the
free silver cause he has been at least
its mosrt devoted' and efficient wet
nurse. He has toiled for it, argued for
it, and lied for it unsparingly. His
lying was so specious and l plausible
that it duped thousands and thousands
of honest men who supposed that his
fraudulent lectures at the Art insti
tute, were the reports of actual occur
rences instead of being the
product of his own imagination.
And this is the man that James K.
•Tones, chairman of the national dem
ocratic committee; Gov. Stone of Mis
souri, John I'. Altgeld, William V. Al
len and Senator Teller elevate to the
position of general manager of the
democratic party and its "allied
forces" to provide ways and means "to
further the cause of bimetallism and
overthrow the corrupt republican dom
ination of this country!"
If the arts of imposture can prevail
there is little question that Harvey will
prove a second Cagliostro and make
somebody, presumably the silver mine
owners, come down handsomely. It
will undoubtedly take a good deal of
money to make the silver cause pre
sentable in 1900, andl that is the year
to which these men are looking for
wards
It' is «pparerit from l this move that
the silver democrats intend'to dispense
with the electoral vote of the eastern
statesi and turn all their energies tf>
carrying the west, and south. There
it is that the silver battle will be
fought if the question survives until
11(00, as the silver men are now plan
ning.
To defeat, this move and bring nil
these machinations to naught all that
is necessary is to carry the present
congressional elections for sound
money. And to thus end no effort must
be spared on the part of all those who
so triumphantly elected Mr. McKinley
two years ago. We must not wait for
the campaign, of 1900, but make the
fight to-day, when everything is in our
favor. Success 1 now means success in
1900.
For 30 years tlie democratic party
has been noted for its blunders, but
in all that time we can recall no such
blunder as this appointment of Har
vey. In the face of an aggressive, de
termined! and, victorious enemy it splits
its forces into two factions, and puts
at the head of one of them a man whose
only qualification for the' place is that
by means of brazen falsehoods he once
deceived a very large number of his
countrymen. Will Hie democraticpar
ty, the steadfast rank andl file, north,
south, east and west, rally under such
a man?— Chicago Times-llerald.
A PROTECTION LESSON.
Kißiire* Which Show the Brneflta De
rived from n Itepubllt*-
(ID Tu riff.
In all the range of practice and
theory, as told in innumerable polit
ical economies, nothing shows the
value of protection in a more forcible
way than a history of the tin-plate
industry in this country. It is a mon
ument to the value of protection.
When it was first proposed to place
a protective duty on tin plate the idea
was scoffed at. Free trade journal;
fairly frothed in their attempts tc
show that tin plate could not be made
in competition with the Welsh pro
ducers. That was long before the act
of 1891. When the law was enacted
the industry was born, though at
the end of the first year the produc
tion amounted to less than 14.000.00 C
■ pounds. In 1803 it jumped to 100,000,-
000 pounds. It has continued to grow
with ama/.ing rapidity ever since, un
til the product in 1897 was but a trifle
less than 450,000,000 pounds, and the
output for the present year will be
larger by 200,000,000 pounds than the
production in 1807.
In the meantime, t.he importations
have fallen from 1.000,000,000 pounds
in 1891 to less than 200,000.000 pounds,
the estimate for the present year. In
asmuch as tin plate is simply steel
sheets tinned, or plated with tin and
zinc, a very large part of the cost, is
in labor. Ilence there is being given
to labor as its share a sum not much,
if any, les.s than $10,000,000 per annum.
The figures given completely refute
the old-'iime theories of the free
traders. It has been done time and
time again, but not in a way so strik
j ing as here set forth. And more than
| that, the price, while slightly higher
! for a year or two, is probably lower
| now than during the year we import
| ed 1,000,000,000 pounds, and in qual-
J ity is not a v. hit inferior to the Welsh
! plate, where they have been making it
! for centuries. —-Cincinnati Commercial

BLOODY BATTLE.
Striking Minors and Imported Ne
groes Fight at Virden, 11L
Seven Men are Killed and Eighteen
Wounded—An Attack IR Made on a
Train I.oad of Men Itroilglit from
the South to Work In
the Milieu Troop* are
Sent to the Seeun.
Virden. 111., Oct. 13. —This little
town is comparatively quiet after a
day of riot and bloodshed, the long ex
pected clash between the union miners
and imported negroes. At 12:40 Wed
nesday afternoon a Chicago & Alton
special train bearing 200 negro miners
from the south arrived at. the stock
ade around the Chicago-Virden Coal
Co.'s mines and immediately terrific
firing began. The list at 10 o'clock
last night, stood seven dead and IS
wounded.
I). 1!. Kilay, a Chicago & Alton de
tective, stood guard at a switch at the
south end of the station platform to
see it was not tampered with. At
12:40 the special train passed the sta
tion and signal sh«ts were fired from
the south end of the train, announc
ing the special's arrival. Immediately
shots were fired from the moving train
and outside and the battle was on. A
few minutes after the train had passed
the switch where Kiley was stationed,
and while he was talking with two cit
izens, he dropped dead with a bullet
through his brain. He was the first
man killed.
The train continued to the stockade,
the miners firing into it all along the
route, anil the negro passengers re
turning the fire. The moment the
train reached the stockade the miners
opened a desperate fire with Winches
ters and revolvers. The negroes on
the train answered with a steady fire.
Tlie miners and the train were en
veloped in a cloud of smoke and the
shooting sounded like a continuous
volley. Engineer Kurt Tigar received
a bullet in the arm and dropped from
his seat. Mis fireman seized the throt
tle and the train was speedily carrying
a load of wounded negroes to Spring
field. The train stopped at the stock
ade but two minutes. Its departure
did not cause the firing to cease. The
tower of the stockade was filled with
sharpshooters.
Forty-five men are stationed behind
the stockade, and of these eight are
wounded and one was killed during
the battle.
The supply and provision store of
the Chieago-Virden Coal Co. is known
as the Climax Trading Co., with .Super
intendent .1. F. E.vster in charge. At
2 o'clock, after the firing at the stock
ade had subsided, an attack without a
parallel in the history of the trouble
was made on Eyster in this store on
Main street, one block from the depot,
which will probably cost him his life.
He was sitting in his store when his
telephone rang and he was instructed
from the stockade to secure physicians
and hurry them to the place. Eyster
jumped into his delivery wagon and,
securing two doctors, rushel them to
the mines. He returned to his store,
climbed out of his wagon, and was
just entering the door when the cry
was raised that Manager Fred Lukins,
of the mines, was with him.
With a rush a throng of miners
pressed toward the store. Eyster ran
behind a counter with a revolver in
each hand. The miners pressed harfl
after and as Eyster sprang up stairs
he and the miners began shooting. He
ran to the top of bis building and
jumped behind a chimney, while the
miners ran into the street and opened
fire on him. Chips flew from the
chimney and Eyster ran across to the
roof of another store, firing into the
street below as he ran.
Jumping to the roof of the Uae &
Gish drug store he halted behind a
projection from the roof and emptied
both his revolvers. Then springing
from cover Eyster dashed ahead amid
a rain of bullets to the roof of the
Steed building, the upper story of
which is known as Miners' hall. He
either fell or jumped through the sky
light and landed in the arms of a
crowd of miners, who carried him
down stairs into the middle of the
street. l'olicemen drove back the
crowd and carried Eyster across the
street and laid him on the grass. He
had been shot throug-h the groin
and is terribly battered up about the
head. The physician says he has bare
ly a chance for recjovery.
A detail of militia last night killed
ex-Lieut, of Police Tom Preston, of
Chicago, at the stockade. He was sit
ting outside the stockade as guard.
The militia ordered miners to halt and
Preston stepped back to the gate. The
militia fired and lie was shot in the
stomach. He was carried into the
stockade, where lie died.
Springfield, 111.. Oct. 13.—Gov. Tan
ner said last night that he had no
word of further trouble at Virden and
that he was confident there would be
no more rioting. "1 have asked the
secretary of war to place at my com
mand the Fifth regiment, Illinois volf
unteers, now at Springfield," he said,
"and have ordered four companies of
the Sons of Veterans regiment to leave
for Virden early in the morning. I in
tend to have enough troops on the
scene to disarm the men who have
caused this bloodshed, and further
more 1 intend to ta«e such action as
will prevent any further attempt to
import labor into the state. I don't
intend to have any more trouble of
this kind."

WAR QUESTIONS.
President McKinley Talks About

Omaha. Neb., Oct. 13. —The third day
of Omaha's peace jubilee and "Presi
dent's <la,v." at the Trans-Mississippi
exposition opened with a lowering' sky.
About 10 o'clock, however, the sun
burst forth in:< 11 its radiance. It was
after 10 o'clock when the presidential
party started for the exposition
grounds. They were headed by a pla
toon of mounted police, while the
president and party were escorted by
the board of governors of the Ak Sar
Hen. The party proceeded directly to
the grand plaza on the bluff tract of
the exposition, where on the music
pavilion the exercises occurred.
President McKinley probably never
received a more enthusiastic greeting
than that which awaited him at the
exposition grounds. By far the great
est crowd in the big western show's
history —so large a crowd that its
numbers are almost impossible to esti
mate—thronged about the huge plat
form from which the president made
his address. Hardly one sentence was
spoken by him which did not evoke
from the people cheer upon cheer. In
the course of his address, speaking in
regard to the problems to be met as
the outcome of the war. he said:
One of tho ifrcat laws of life is progress, and
nowhere have the principles of this law been so
strikingly illustrated as in the United States.
A century and a decade of our national life
have turned doubt into conviction ; changed ex*
periment into demonstration; revolutionized old
methods and won new triumphs which chal
lenge the attention of the world. This is true
not only of the accumulation of material wealth
and advance in education, science, invention
and manufactures, hut. above all, in the oppor
\unities to the people for their own elevation,
which have been secured by wise, free govern
ment. Hitherto, in peace and in war. with ad
ditions to our territory and sight changes in
our laws, we have steadily enforced the spirit
of the constitution secured to \is by the noble
self-sacrifice and far seeing sagacitv of our an
cestors. We have avoided the tempta
tions of conquest in the spirit of gain. With an
increasing love for our institutions and an abid
ing faith in their stability, we have made the
triumphs of our system of government in the
progress and prosperity of our people an in
spiration to the whole human race. Confronted
at this moment by new and grave problems,
we must recognize that their solution will affect
not ourselves alone, but others of the family of
nations. In this age of frequent interchange
and mutual dependency, we .an not shirk our
international responsibilities if we would; they
must he met with courage and wisdom, and we
must follow duty, even if desire opposes. No
deliberation can be too mature or self control
too constant in this solemn hour of our his
tory. We must avoid the temptation of undue
aggression, and aim to secure only such results
as will promote our own and the general good.
The faith of a Christian nation recognizes the
hand of Almighty Clod in the ordeal through
which we have passed. Pivine favor seemed
manifest everywhere. In fighting for human
ity's sake we have been signallv blessed. We
did not seek war. 'I o avoid it. if this could he
done in justice and honor to the rights of our
neighbors and ourselves, was our constant
prayer. The war was no more incited by us
than were the questions which are laid at our
door by its results.
Now as then we will do our duty. The prob
lems will not be solved in a day. Patience will
be required: patience combined with sincerity
of purpose and unshaken resolution to do right,
seeking only the highest good of the nation and
recognizing no other obligation, pursuing no
other path but that of dutv.
Right action follow* right purpose. We may
not at all times be able to divine the future;
the way may not always seem clear; but if oiti
aims are high and unselfish, somehow and in
some way the right enrl will be reached. The
genius of the nation, its freedom, its wisdom,
its humanity, its courage, its justice, favored
by divine Providence, will make it equal to
every task and the master of every emergency.
The inspiring conclusion of the pres
ident's address was the signal for a
scene of wild acclamation. Mowing
and smiling to the crowd of his enthu
siastic constituents the president sat
down and gave way to Postmaster
General Smith, whose speech came
next on the programme. Smith's re
ception was almost as flattering as
that given to the president. He spoke
briefly along lines similar to those
followed by his chief.
After the postmaster general had
concluded the surging throng of hu
manity around the platform clamored
for more. Loud calls for Gen. Miles,
Senators Allen and Thurston and (Jov.
Holcomb were heard and they ad
vanced to the platform and in re
sponse to the cheers of the people,
bowed and smiled their acknowledge
ments, but did tint make any remarks.
Then the Chinese minister, the Korean
minister and Senor Quesada. the Cu
ban envoy, were brought forward in
response to the demands of the crowd.
Patriotic selections by the band closed
the exercises on the platform. After
luncheon the president spent some
time in viewing the wonders of the ex
position. At 3 o'clock Mr. McKinley
entered the government building and
stood in the center of the great struc
ture while for 20 minutes the public
tiled past him.
The party was then driven to the
Indian colony, where the president
viewed a sham battle participated in
by 600 red men. Before the battle the
Indians defiled in front of the presi
dential stand and Sacs, Foxes, Hlack
feet, Chippewas. Arapahoes, Sioux,
