Steam and the elec tric current are powerful workers in the field of philanthropy. Gen. Denver, the man after whom the Colorado city was named, is still living-. It has been his good fortune to see his namesake expand from the status of a frontier village to the dignity of a hustling western city, with a popula tion of 170,000. The three prizes offered by the Cen tury company for the best stories writ ten by college graduates of 1597 have all been won by young women. In times of expansion the young men have to hustle in the production of history instead of romance. Theodore Camp, of Mount Vernon, N. Y., has been teaching school for over 62 years, and now, although in the eighty-first year of his age, is still energetic, and seems to have a deeper interest than ever in his class of boys and their studies. If Spain had only stopped to think that tliere are in this country 240.G'.»S public Gclioolhouses and 11,4Gj,370 chil dren in the public schools, it would have chosen some other antagonist. The difference in the men behind the guns began in the schoolrooms. The laborers who built the pyramids did not work under such disadvan tages as have long been attributed to them. Recent research shows that they had solid and tubular drills and lathe tools. The drills were set with jtwels and cut into the rocks with keenness and accuracy. William Barclay Parsons, the chief engineer of the American syndicate that is to construct a railroad between Hong-Kong and Han Kow, has sailed for China to look over the ground and Lave the preliminary surveys made. The line will be GSO miles long and will be strictly American made. The American scientists are anxious to undertake a botanical exploration of the island of Puerto Jlico, and an ex position has already been organized for the work. The Yankee is never easy in his mind until he knows all about the natural flora of every part of the country in which he lives and pays taxes. Observations made at tine Massachu setts agricultural experiment station show that 80 per cent, of the food oi the ungainly and' repulsive-looking toad is made up of insects injurious to agriculture. The toad is an especial enemy of the army worm, the cut worm, and greenhouse pests general ly, andidoes a lot of good in its modest •way. Germany maintains 40 commercial schools and l.'l textile schools as an aid to its manufacturing interests, and in this connection it is interest ing to note that during the past quar ter of a century that country has in creased its manufactures ten times. The fostering ofindustriesisoneof the prime necessities of a nation's prog ress. MissLotta Burns, famed as the "moth er of Klondike," having been the first white woman to live at Dawson, took her bicycle with her on her last tlip to that place. She had no sooner land ed in Dawson than scores of miners were bidding for it. The offers went tip until they reached S7OO, when a young man named McWilliams became the owner of the first wheel ever seen in the Klondike. A report comes hurtling down the pike from Havana that the Cubans are disposed to resist the United States au thorities. The further claim is made that the Spaniards would have pro longed the war indefinitely had they known the true condition of Shaffer's army. Those are interesting topics for country debating societies to wrangle over, but the probabilities are quite strong that both Cuba and Spain have had all the fighting they are likely to want fort he next 50 years. Three different ri uimendations as to the size at whirl *» regular army should be put will rt *v>ngress at its coming session, fro U quarters. Gen.

WHAT THE PARTY DESERVES The Republican* Have Won n «.ootl Claim 1 pon the People for Their Support. LittJ* more than a year ago the re publican administration and congress staked everything on the soundness of their conviction regarding the true remedy for business pros! ration. The second year of an administration al ways brings political low tide. If, added to that perennial tendency to ward reaction, there should be failure to perform the promises of the party, failure to discharge the chief duty for which it was intrusted with pow er, the public disappointment might he expected to produce reverses. To republican leaders the duty was then plain, and also the fact thai respon sibility would fall upon the party in pow r if the methods emplryed for the restoration of general prosperity should prove mistaken or insufficient. It was earnestly urged by the advo cates of various monetary theories that nothing could bring prosperity unless their theories were adopted. Some said that nothing would serve but free coinage of silver; others noth ing would answer but retirement of greenbacks and substitution of bank notes. without limit or with more or less freedom. The republican party be lieved the one thing necessary was lo restore protection of home industries and an adequate revenue, and with a full sense of its responsibility acted on that conviction. The state of business and of indus tries to-day shows how far this course has been justified. It is not necessary here to recapitulate well-known facts. Since June, 1897, the month before the nsw tariff was enacted, the volume of business throughout the country has increased more than $1,000,000,000 in a month, and has come to exceed by from ten to fifteen fier cent, the largest busi ness ever done at the same season in the most prosperous of past jears. The number of hands employed in the va rious industries has increased greatly —in the iron industry about a quarter, in some others more and in others less, but on the whole so largely that earn ings and expenditures of the working people have everywhere expanded more than was expected by the most san guine. Meanwhile heavy crops have also added to the prosperity of the mil lions of farmers and those dependent on them. The republican party would not be discharging its duties to the country if it did not earnestly appeal to the peo ple to uphold a national policy which has so completely surprised its adver saries and even surpassed the hopes of most of its adherents. It is not in or der to maintain that nothing else re mains to be done, that the public pros perity cannot be further promoted by reforms in the currency or elsewhere. But it is the duty of the party to show that the course it selected as the one necessary above all others has been abundantly justified by events, and it may with abundant reason claim that the party which has thus wisely dis charged its duty in the past shall be trusted to deal with other problems that may concern the general welfare. The right of the party to public con fidence and support has been greatly in creased by the honorable negotiations which preceded war and enlisted for the country the admiration of civilized jiations by the great foresight and en ergy of preparations for war which made it the shortest and cheapest struggle of modern history in propor tion to its vast results; bf the wise and resolute leadership which brought it to a victorious close, with the least ex penditure of lives and resources, and with such honor to American arms that the nation has taken a new place in the world. All this accomplished, in un wavering accordance with the pledges given in the platform upon which Pres ident McKinley was elected, deserves from the country hearty support for the president in completing the work and securing its results for the nation. Errors tliere have been, and no nation long without experience in war ever en tered upon an important struggle with out many mistakes; but the same fidel ity and wisdom which have brought the main result so quickly and so cheaply for the country may with reason be expected to apply without hesitation or needless delay those reforms which experience has shown to be necessary. The government, which has far sur passed ail expectations, both in do mestic and foreign emergencies, is not one which the people can with wisdom or fairness fail to uphold.—N. Y. Trib une. ItcneKndc Oeinocrnts. The country is still standing on its arms., waiting to see whether Spaiu will yield to its demands or force it iiito war again. Hut the democrats of New York refuse to discuss national affairs. They turn sullenly to"state issues." The national good or evil with which the situation is fraught is immeasurable; yet the New York dem ocrats deprecate considerat ion of that question and profess to be absorbed in"state issues." There is still before the country, kept there by renewed declarations for free silver on the part if nine-tenths of tlie democracy, a financial issue that the supporters of honest money say threatens national dishonor and commercial disaster, and the democracy says is the on'? national salvation. But the NewYoiH democrats slink from mentioning il, end say that "state issues" alone are properly before the public. Yet in this election there are to be chosen in the state of New York 34 members of the house of representatives, nearly a tenth of the house, and one of New- York's two senators. Was there ever so pusillanimous a flight from the po litical defense of a nation, as the party of the renegades sees it. or so shame faced an avoidance of a party's atti tude upon the great national ques tions?—N. Y. Sun. CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 1898. CHANCES IN CONGRESS. The Outlook for the Democrats Jo the Coiuliift Content In Mot Very Pronilnliitf. The Louisville Courier-Journal is a pretty earnest democratic newspaper. But evidently it«s Washington corre spondent has no hope of democratic success in the coining congressional contests. He has been looking the grout,<l over very carefully, mid, while lie is confident there will be some in crease of democratic strength in the house of representatives, he cn%not figure out a majority for his side. The present house stands: „ Republicans 199 Democrats 132 Populists 19 Silver republicans 7 Total 357 Thus the republicans have a clear majority over all opposing forces of 41. On all party questions except those relating to the currency the sil ver republicans act with the other re publicans, so that the party strength is practically 200, or a majority of 43 over the opposition. The Courier-Journal correspondent, carefully considering the chances, conies to the conclusion that demo cratic ga ; ns can be expected from the following states: New York fi (Maryland 2 Illinois 6!North Carolina 2 Indiana 3|Texas 1 Ohio 5 Virginia 1 Pennsylvania ujWest Virginia J New Jersey II Alabama 2| Total 38 Kentucky 21 "It is believed," he adds, "that the democrats will sustain losses in tha extreme west, but to what extent is mere conjecture, and at this time there is not sufficient information in the possession of anyone to form a reliable opinion." The fact is that the drift in the west of late has been steadily away from the democratic party, and the returns next month from that locality are likely to be a surprising revelation to those who have counted on republican reverses. In the east, too, the democratic dal liance with Bryanism is prelty cer tain to cost the party dear, for the great mass of the people are ready to stamp upon the Chicago platform with greater emphasis than they did in 1896. However, giving the correspondent all he claims, it will be seen that he falls somewhat short of making out a dem ocratic majority in the next house. On the other hand, republicans will show timely prudence by recognizing the possibility of substantial demo cratic gains unless proper effort is made to defeat them. Senator ITanna, of Ohio, chairman of the republican national committee, and one of the most competent and alert of political managers, has pointed out some of the dangers ahead. When asked for his views lie said.: "You will see the exact situation c' the campaign at present when I recall to you that In 1896 there were 60 congressional dis tricts In which members were elected by a majority of less than 1,000 votes. This was true of democrats as well as repub licans. The majority of these districts were carried by less than 500 plurality, and you can see at once how Important it Is to arouse interest and activity in these dis tricts. The republicans must not let the democrats get ahead of them in work " It is in these close districts that the democrats will put forth especial ef fort, and there they must be watched ami their schemes frustrated. Over confidence and lack of vigilance may endanger, republican supremacy in congress. But with the conditions so clearly understood, with the people aroused as they have not been in a generation by the glorious results of the war, and with patriotic indigna tion at the cowardly and abie attitude of a large portion of the democratic party with regard to the conduct of the war and the great and inspiring issues now confronting the nation, voters should not hesitate in giving their support to an administra tion which represents the noblest American purposes. The way to strengthen the hands of President Mc- Kinley and assure the forward march of the United States along the path of its splendid destiny is to send to the house of representatives a strong ma jority in close sympathy with the ad ministration's views.—Troy Times. Folliipftr of Krec Sllrer. The democratic managers who are trying to run the western end of the party in the interest of free silver would do well to ponder on the com plete collapse of the cause in the east. Nearly all I he democratic conventions and candidates in that section of the country arc either ignoring the sub ject or eomirg out frankly against the Chicago platform. The Baltimore Sun prints an interview with Mr. I{. B. Tip pett, democratic nominee for con gress in the Second Maryland district, embracing part of the city of Balti more. iti which he says:"ln order that there may be no misapprehension as to my position on the financial ques tion, should the same be made an issue in this campaign, I wish to say that I am absolutely in favor of the gold standard." In like manner Mr. F. C. Stevens, of Attica, X. V., in declining the democratic nomination for state senator, assigns as a reasoa"the adop tion yf sew ideas and principles to which I cannot conscientiously sub scribe," and cites the free silver plank of the Chicago platform as one. And so ti e lost cause continues to lose.— Indianapolis Journal. irrMr. F. W. Bruington. formerly of Atlantic, and one of the active work ! ing republicans of lowa, is now located at Macon. Col. He is still a gold stand ard republican of the most deter mined character, and lie is keeping his eyes open to discover the effect of gold standard rule in the silver states. lie writes the Register that "(here nevei lias been i time when there was such a demand 112. r labor in Colorado, the un skilled labor of the masses and th? skilled b.bor of the artisan." lit writes that the demand for labor als: extends over Montana and all the other mountain silver states.—lows State Register. TO VOTERS FOR M'KINLEY. la There Any ('mine for llfltrft to Tlioae \V li o llrlprd Moke Him Prr«i<tent I The Journal addresses itself to the men who voted for William McKinley in November, 1896. The most of you who <1 id so were confident that it was the best thing to do; a few were not so confident, but they followed the ad vice of others. Speaking to the mass of the men who voted for President McKinley in 1896, we ask: Do you regret it—you who de sired better times, confidence in busi ness and better employment —do you regret that you helped to elect William McKinley president? We urge every voter for McKinley in 1890 who reads this to ask himself: Ho I regret voting for McKinley? There may be a few wliohuve regrets, but the number is exceedingly small. A few may be vexed about insignificant matters like the making of a post master, but when it comes to the large affairs of a great nation, if there are any Mt-Kinley voters who are dissatis fied, republican committees do not find them. There should be no dissatisfaction. The McKinley administration and the party in accord with him have dr»ne thus far all that they promised to do during the canvass of 1890. They have restored confidence to business by as suring the country that no distracting sixteen-to-one scheme shall paralyze business while they are in power. This confidence has caused the expansion of business, a rapid recovery of every im portant industry in the land, and a gen eral prosperity has succeeded wide spread depression. Not- one man in a thousand who voted for William Mc- Kinley will deny these things. Such be ing the case, do you, McKinley voters, desire these conditions to continue? If you do. you must goto the polls and approve them by votir.g for repre sentatives who have aided the presi dent. And the war—can there be any men who voted for William McKinley who do not approve the course the presi dent has pursued, the courage and wis dom with which he resisted unwise ac tion by congress, the vigor with which he caused the war to be prosecuted when once begun, and Ills statesman ship displayed in forcing the terms of peace? There may be such, but if there are they successfully keep the secret to themselves, as if ashamed of it. It is fair to assume that 99 out of every 100 men who voted for McKinley in 18' JO most, cordially approve the gen eral conduct of the war. It is possible that the McKinley voters who hav" been so zealous in encouraging enlist ments, and who have shouted them selves out of voice over briiliant vic tories, have so suddenly lost their in terest in these glorious achievements that they will neglect to vote foi Over street, Landis, Faris and other repre sentatives who have backed the pres ident? The Journal does not believe the McKinley voters in Indiana are that kind of men.—lndianapolis Jour nal. THE PEOPLE SHOULD KNOW. Democrat* Are Yilllf ylnff and Slan dering the President and Hi* Supporter*. One danger confronts the repub lican party —it is just as well to be frank about these matters—a bare possibility that the people may not fully understand the momentous im portance of their going to the polls and casting their ballots on election day. Once they realize this there is no longer cause for apprehension. The administration of I'resident. Mc- Kinley is attacked by the democrats through villiflcation, misrepresenta tion and direct falsehood. The glory of our arms, of which the people are so prouel, is being smirched by scandal mongers, uncontrolled by conscience anel unfettered by facts. The whole policy of progression outlined as the logical sequence of our conquests is menaced by these political despera does fighting under the guise of demo crats. They are out on a wrecking cruise, with the black flag flying, and the proper way to meet them is with steady broadsides of loyal republican balleits. Col. Roosevelt, in his Carnegie hall speech, put the case strongly when he truthfully told his heroes that if the men who are opposing and denouncing the president and his policy secure a victory at the polls that victory will be interpreted abroad as a repudiation of the war from which we have just emerged so triumphantly. It will strengthen the hand of our enemies, give life to foreign jealousy and in trigue and endanger every great result achieved by our army a7id navy. The war was the people's war; its results are the people's glorification. The issue involves more than part izan ism. it involves patriotism. Once hav ing awakened to a realization of the menace to their interests and the glory of their flag, the people will rise in their might and rally to the support of the country in peace with the same loyalty as in war. That is why the case is thus frankly and openly put before them—that they may see their duty. Having seen it, there is no question of their doing It fully and faithfully.—-Cincinnati Commercial Tribune. I'The democratic attempt to make a campaign issue out of alleged mis management of the war in providing for the soldiers has reacted. The rpeech of ('apt. Allen, of the One llun elreel and Fifty-eighth Indiana, himself a elemocrat, vigorously denouncing the whole business, was a body blow, while the statements of (Jens. Wheeler, Lee and others before the investigat ing commission have demonstrated that in a very large measure the charges are the disreputable untruth - of yeliow journalism.—lndianapolis Journal. ALWAYS AGAINST WAR. UemocnitH Have Ahinjn Sulked In the Rear at Critical Times. The issues of the approaching con gressional election are sufficiently de fined to show that the democratic party intends to oppose not only the conduct arid management of the war but the peilicies necessary to harvest its fruits. This is not the first time the party has taken this position. It did so in every election that occurred during the civil war. The democratic state conventions of 1862 attacked the conduct eif the war and Abraham Lin coln byname. It was the second year of his administration and of the war, an "off year" in politics, and they hoped to succeed. They elected only 75 members out of 186. The republic ans, the war party, hael a clear ma jority of 25 which was large for that time. In 1804 the democrats adopted the same policy, declaring the war for the preservation of the union to be a failure and arraigning Mr. Lincoln's administration for neglect of the sol diers The national platform con tained the following: "Resolved, That the shameful disregard of the administration of its duty Iri re spect to our fellow-citizens who now are, and long have been, prisoners of war, in a suffering condition, deserves tfto severest reprobation, on the score alike of public policy and common humanity." This was the way in which the stay at-home democrats of that day, the Ilendrickses, Yoorheeses, Vallanding hams and ethers arrigned President Lincoln for his "shameful neglect" of the soldiers. The Turpies. the Baileys and their kind are pursuing the same course to-day toward President Mc- Kinley. As the result of the demo cratic policy in 1864 Mr. Lincoln was reelected by an overwhelming popular majoiity and 212 electoral votes to 21 for his opoonent, and the democrats elected only 35 out of 185 members of congress. What arc the great questions now* before the country and people? Not to mention domestic issues, including the tariff and money questions, both important, there are the questions growing out of the war—the questions of national expansion in territory and commerce, of holding and governing our r.ew possessions, of constructing the Nicaragua canal, of building up e>ur merchant marine and of starting the ration on its new career of prog ress. The elemocratic party ignores all these and other kindred questions of national importance and ny.l<s for popular support on the contemptible plat'r.rm o r opposition to the conduct of the war and denunciation of Presi dent McKinley. If the American peo ple have not- retrograded in patriot ism they will answer them as they did in 1?62 anel IS6-I.—lndianapolis Jour nal. HIDING HERESIES. Frff Sllverlte* Are Kreplnii Their Pet In*n<* In the ltncU- Krnand. There har been a studied effort on the part of democracy in all parts of the country to neglect national Issues in the present campaign anel confine debate, if possible, to local issues. The trouble comes from the gold demo crats. They are so bitterly opposed te> silver that local issues of any kind dwarf into nothingness in comparison. Hence the shrewder of the democrats, who are for democracy before anel after everything else, lay low and cloud the fight with local issues. But tli« silverites appreciate the sit uation, as is shown by an extract from the paper owned and controlled by Senator Stewart, e>f Nevada. This frank paper, called the Silver Knight Watchman, says: "If it is the purpose of the democratic leaders In New York to weaken their op ponents this year by the defeat of stata Issues, and then in 1900 to place the demo cratic party of the Kniplre state in the thickest of the as marked out by the national convention, the result may prove their wisdom. There is nothing in the New York democratic platform which shows the slightest opposition to an-y portion of the Chicago platform, hut on the contrary, its declaration of contin ued allegiance to democratic principles ii» a substantial endorsement of the latest an nouncement eif these principles by ho national convention of 1896. It must not ba feirgotten that New York is the enemy's country, and that if he can be dislodged In that state by any method short of re nunciation of bimetallism pure and sVm ple, the friends of free coinage of both metals will then be in better condition for the great struggle of 1900." 'i' Wat presents the situation plainly. The democrats have not repudiated the silver heresies, nor will they. When the national convention meets the sil verites of the west and southwest will hold the balance of power and free sil ver will be in the platform in char acters good and plain. The safe way at present is to kill the issue at its horning. Fleet republicans all along the line, and especially republican congressmen. To do otherwise is to provoke discussions and meddling in the lower house, to the great detri ment of business everywhere. As a whole, democracy cannot handle national questions in a broad and itatesmanlike way. Better keep them out of power for another gen eration at least.—Cincinnati Commer cial Tribune. C~7"lt is intimated that if Col. Bryan secures his release from military du ties before election elay he might be induced to come te> New York to aid in the canvass of his friend, Judge Van Wyck. If he waits for the induce ment to be helel out. it is safe to say fliat lie will never come. The demo cratic managers, on the contrary, would goto any length to induce him to stay away in order that they may not b» embarrassed in their efforts to dedge national issues.—Troy Times. (DT.ound money, protection and ter* rito' ial expansion—these are the tlirce issues on which the republican party will win thi« year.—lndianapolis Jour nal. THE WEST HAS MOVED.

"We of the east," said a New York man, "do not appreciate how the country has spread, as a result of the war with Spain, «9 our fellow-citizens in the west appreciate it.
