Judge Monroe L. liayward was elected United States Senator from Nebraska. He is a Republican and will succeed W. V. Allen, Populist. The Democratic party is up to its old tricks and will go down to defeat by the same old toboggan. It lias taken a stand against hold ing the Philippines, and in its next national convention will probably point with pride to the plank in its platform of Ist >4. declaring the war to be a failure.—St. Louis Demo crat. The Boston Herald, an indepen dent paper with free trade leanings, has this to say about the industrial situation: "There's no mistaking the meaning of all these announce ments of advences in the wages of the miners and the factory opera tives. It means that prosperity is really here with both feet.'' •.» A Washington dispatch says that there were a few "ex's" from Pennsylvania on the House side Thursday, after the Speaker's gavel fell at final adjournment. C. \V. Stone, who has sat in the front row on the Republican side for the past two years, held a regular levee during the recess that proceeded final adjournment. No man will be more missed on that side of the 1 louse. It is a notable fact that since the, last turn in flic Quay prosecution, many of the leading newspapers which have been opposing the Senator are beginning to refer to him in a considerably more respect ful manner. The practical ad mission by the prosecution, in the the request for postponement of the trial, that they had no impor tant evidence, coupled with the forced retraction by a Philadelphia paper of a manufactured lie con cerning a juror, lias probably had much to do with convincing decent people that it is time to let up a little. —Meadville Tribune. #*# Union and Indiana counties caused the party wreckers to gasp for breath, when the Republicans of those counties recorded in thundering tones, their disapproval of the character-assassin warfare waged against Senator Quay by the Martin-Flinn-Wanamaker bolters. Last Saturday the Republicans of Blair and Warren counties, wholly unexpected to the entire State, also recorded in an emphatic and forc ible manner that they place their seal of condemnation upon the character-assassins' tactics by elec ing Quay delegates to the Republi can state convention. Blair county last year was carried, by a large majority, by the insurgents, and it was expected this year to follow in the same wake, but it seems the Republicans (men who believe that the majority shall rule and that the majority's candidate for United States Senator shall be elected) of that county have realized that to destroy the Republican organiza tion of the Keystone State would be to make Pennsylvania a Demo cratic State in the future. They, no doubt, realized that the leaders of the Party Wreckers were making tools of them to advance their per sonal interests at the expense of the Republican party of this State, and, in a measure, of the Nation. [t iu <>! : ng in Ufynl cans. who are not controlled by narrow prejudices, to see the wak ing up of the Old Guard and the gauntlet is thrown down in deft- I anee. Let the band play. The j boy Hare ready to meet thcj enemies of i true Republicanism, be they Wana- : maker, Martin or any other wrecker, j The hour for nonsense has passed. Place none but stalwart Republi cans to the front—and that implies the material that lias won every Republican victory from Lincoln to the present day. Quay Was the Popular Choice. An anonymous correspondent writes to the The Inquirer to say: Since you claim that Quay in the 1 only desirable and logical candidate of j the majority of the Republican party, j why not devise some means whereby S the popular vote of the people can be j taken and end the deadlock? There I certainly ought to be some way in I which the Representatives at Harris" burg could be instructed as to the I wishes of their constituents. There is no possible way by j which a popular vote can be taken, | nor would these bolters in the i Legislature be bound by such a ! vote if there could be one. There lias already been a popular vote. ! This question of the Senatorship | was made the issue in nearly ali of ! tlie Legislative districts outside of ' Philadelphia and Pittsburg at the November election. The W'ana ! maker caravan invaded county after county, and covered the State with speakers, who poured out : their venom from every political J stump. Members of the Legisla j tnre were chosen on the understand i ing that they would vote for or j against Quay. There could have I been no fairer method of obtaining ' the public sentiment. The result i was an overwhelming victory for I Quay. Wanamaker ami his men paraded ! up and down the State setting up | conventions, dealing with Derno j crats and making fusion tickets. ] The total result of their herculean labors was the election of about a j dozen men whose opinions are ! swayed by Wanamakerism. Wana [ maker carried Chester and Blair | counties and picked up a scattering | Representative here and there, i These dozen or so have a right to | vote against Quay, because they j were chosen for that special pur | pose. But 110 other Republican I with honor to himself or party, | can join the ranks of Wananiaker- J ism and light against majority rule, j The two Republicans in Delaware county who bolted the caucus did so from no other motives than per sonal spite. The Lackawanna member who got away the other day did so because some friend of his did not get an appointment. With one single exception in Phil adelphia. every Republican who ; votes against Quay, does so under j the direct order of David Martin. | Not a single member from Alle- J gheny county was elected to op j pose Quay, and those who arc op ! posing liini are taking their orders : from the Pittsburg boss. William | Flinn. We say, therefore, that i with the exception of the little handful of Wanamaker l'usionists, | not a vote is being cast against Quay from any higher motive than j personal spite or the slavish ering ! ing and crawling before a pair of j precious bosses. The manner in which the pri j mary elections overthrew Wana makerism in Union and Indiana counties on Saturday shows that the Republicans of the State are beginning to understand t his Flinn- Martin-Wanamaker alliance. It is purely selfish, and it hopes to suc ceed by wrecking party organiza tion and the great Republican principle of majority rule. We do not know what reception Mr. Flinn will meet in Pittsburg when he faces his constituents in the future, but so far as David Martin is con cerned, his career in Philadelphia is in danger of total collapse. A new administration will come into power in a few days—an adminis tration that will own itself—and that means death to Martinism. No man who has proved himself to be a traitor to bis party and his friends, as Martin has, can hope for anything but repudiation in Philadelphia. The various Legis lative districts in the State can be I relied upon to end the political aspirations of bolters. Quay car ried the State on a square issue, and he is being held up by a lot of political highwaymen, who cannot hope to explain away their treach ery to their constituents.—Phila delphia Inquirer.

CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, MARCH 23, 1899. WASHINGTON LETTER. (From our Regular Correspondent.) WASHINGTON, March 20th, 1899. The Washington correspondents who were a few days ago concoct ing stories alleging the existence of enmity between President McKin ley and Speaker Reed, are now lmsy trying to invent plausible ex planations of why those two • 'bitter enemiesare" to be guests this week under the same roof, at Jekyl Island. This sort of thing would be amusing if it were not disgust ing to those who believe in truth fulness and fair dealing towards public men, as well as towards private citizens. That there has been, at times, differences of opin ion on important public questions between President McKinley and Speaker Reed, just as there lias always been at times between other prominent members of the same party, is known to all men, be cause neither of them ever hesitates about stilting their opinions: but that there lias been, at any time, any personal enmity between them or any desire on the part of either to split the Republican party into factions for the individual benefit or revenge of either, is untrue, and nobody knew its falsity any better than those who concocted the stories. Next year will be Presi dential year, and this class of yarns may bo expected to increase, lie cause the Democrats know that nothing but a division of the Re publican party can give them any posible show to win. The latest news from Gen. Otis is decidedly satisfactory. His ac tive campaign against Aguinaldo and bis repeated victories have re rulted in breaking the backbone of the Philippine revolt, and every thing now points to a speedy end ing of the lighting, and the capture of Aguinaldo is hoped for. Ad miral Dewey has notified the Navy 1 Jepartment of the arrival in Manila Bay of the battleship Oregon, in splendid lighting condition. Senator Frye, Chairman of the Senate Conimitte on Commerce, who knows the subject about as well as any man in the country, does not smile upon the efforts of the French Panama Canal Com pany to interest Senators and Representatives in the Panama Canal, the latest of which is a Congressional free excursion, at. the Company's expense, of four or five weeks' duration, for the pur pose of inspection, etc. Mr. Frye said: "I shall not goon the trip i of inspection planned by the Pan ama Canal Company. I was urged togo, as were other members of the Senate and House. The men who are togo down there on pleas ure jaunt know about as much now concerning the merits of one route i over the other as they will when I t hey reach home. I have been i building the Nicaragua Canal for twenty-live years. Away hack when 'Dick' Thompson was Secre tary of the Navy, we had a Com mittee to investigate the feasibility !of routes. We sat for about six months and examined a multitude lof witnesses. These witnesses 'established the utter impossibility of a sea level canal over the Panama route, as De Lesseps had 1 proposed. Then the Chagres river was considered. The investigation in that line established the fact i that man could not control the waters, although (Joel might. The S Committee made 110 report, and | about the only direct outcome of j the investigation was the establish ment of a l\ S. coaling station by the Navy Department, in compli ance with our personal requests. When 1 was in Paris (Senator Frye was one of our Peace Com missioners) they were after me perpetually regarding the Panama Canal; 1 met friends of the project on every hand." It is very evi dent that Senator Frye thinks we should steer clear of the Panama Canal scheme. Maj. Demerits, a member of the staff of Gen. Otis, is in Washington on sick leave. As he came direct from Manila, his opinion is entitled to weight. He said: "Nobody who has seen the Philippines could i ever be in favor of surrendering them. lam satisfied that it is to the best interests of this country to keep them, for their resources are varied and valuable, and they will I eventually be a source of large profit. It is not going to take a very great while to reduce the in | surgent Filipinos to subjection. The more enlightened and well-to do class of mixed Spanish blood ! are quite willing that this govern ment should establish its sover -1 eignty." How idiotically rampant sensa tionalism can become upon nothing was shown when the routine order of the Navy Department, detailing a Board of Officers, in accordance with law. to examine all of the Commodores, which grade has been abolished, promoted to be Rear Admirals, under the law for re organizing the Navy, was seized upon and made the basis of as wild a batch of stories as have been sent from"Washington in a long time, all to the effect that the Navy De partment was arranging to down Schley by having the Board report him unfit for promo tion, and in favor of his immediate compulsory retirement, while Samp son's promotion was to be reported all right. And sensible persons were found, even in Washington, who believed the substance of these stories until an official statement from the Navv Department made their ridiculous falseness apparent to everybody. Secretary Alger expects togo to Cuba this week, to inspect the military posts on the island, but there will be nothing suggesting a junket about the trip, only his private Secretary and his military aid will accompany him. Chamberlain's Cough Homedy. This remedy is intended especially for coughs, colds, croup, whooping cough and influenza. It has become famous for its cures of these diseases, over a large part of the civilized world.
