DEI.OS BURLINGAME. Si/erville, Pa., Feb. 20, 1899. A Stone on Which We Can Safely Huild. Punxs'y Spirit. The American people admire a man of force —one who has indi viduality and a will, and who will not be swayed by every breeze of opinion that blows. They like a man who will dare to do what he believes to be right, whether it is popular or not —who does all things from a sense of duty, and nothing for buncombe. Governor Stone appears to be that kind of a man, and we predict that lie will be more popular at the end of his term as Governor than he was as a candidate. Thus far nobody has been disappointed in him, much less his friends. SENATOR QUAY'S HOME COUNTY. Colonel Quay's Friends Carry Every thing in Beaver. BKAVER, I'a., May 20.—The re turns l'rom the Republican pri maries were computed yesterday. Col. M. S. Quay was elected a dele gate to the Republican State Con vention without opposition. The other delegate elected is Hon. Charles Townsend, of New Brighton, former member of Con gress and a close friend of Senator Quay. The only opposition was for the nominations for county offices. The nominees are sheriff, .J. Henry Ger; recorder and regis ter. O. C. Harris; treasurer, A. A. Duff; commissioners, James C. Coleman, H. C. Glasser; coroner, Dr. J. K. White; auditor, S. M. White; poorhouse director, A. W. Tanner, Rochester. The County Committee met this afternoon and organized by the election of James 11. Cunningham as Chairman for the ensuing year. The following resolution was adopted: "That we approve the tetion of our representatives in the Legislature of our State in the sup port of Matthew Stanley Quay for United States Senator: that we en dorse the State administration and commend the action of Governor Stone appointing M. S. Quay to be a United States Senator. The Governor's Veto. Governor Stone has cut the pub lic school appropriation one million dollars for the next two years; the Normal Schools are deprived of half their appropriations, and other reductions will make a total reduc tion of $1,155,000 in the State educational system. Other appro priation measures are also disap proved. All this comes from the fact that the State has not suffi cient funds to pay already due and past obligations and meet others in the near future. Had the Senate passed the revenue bills the House adopted there would have been no trouble about sufficient revenues. It may be that after all some good will come out of the Governor's act, although in the matter of the school appropriations the unexpect edness of his veto will upset the calculations of school boards throughout the State and cause more of less temporary embarass rnent. But, generally speaking, there is a tendency to unduly in crease appropriations all along the line, which stimulates the building of private hospitals and starting many another enterprise, simply to either benefit some egotistical in dividual or get money out of the State for personal appropriation. There is even a danger of the dem agogue unduly and selfishly en dowing our deservedly popular and necessary public school system, at the cost of local interest in the same, and to inequitably support the poorer counties at the expense of the richer. It is well known now that certain districts depend upon the State almost entirely for the support of their schools, and so members from such constituen cies will rashly expend the State's money for a sort of plea for re election. It must be remembered that practically all this taxation comes from corporations and various industrial enterprises. To increase the levy will not only burden those works in existence, but drive new ones to States where taxation is lower and appropria tions smaller. If, therefore, the (Jovcrnor's pruning knife demon strates that we can get along with out an increasing dependence upon the State, that the limit of appro priations has been reached and that the tendency to extravagance must be halted—then will it not lie in vain. It should l>e remembered that it is never wealth that bears the burden of taxes, but the aver age man who works for wages. A corporation as such does not pay the taxes, but cuts down the divi dend on its stock, often owned by the widow and orphan; the manu facturer pays his tax by lowering wages; the house owner by increas ed rent; the mortageo by a higher rate of interest, and so on. Tax ation touches every man, woman and child in the State, and for this reason we have always been on the side of judicious economy in the matter of appropriations.—Lan caster Examiner. WASHINGTON LETTER. (From our Regular Correspondent.) WASHINGTON, May 22d, 1899. President McKinley is again on duty at the White House. His two week's rest at the Hot Springs appear to have done him lots of good, and he says his rheumatic pains have entirely disappeared. His return and the Peace Jubilee, which is to be held this week, have attracted a number of prominent men to Washington, for the pur pose of combining business and pleasure. Among them are friends of several of the candidates for Speaker of the House. The most interesting news of the Speaker ship contest, is the statement, ap parently well founded, that friends of Representatives Sherman and Henderson have made an agree ment whereby each is made the second choice of the other, the idea being to make sure that one or the other of them gets elected. But Representative Payne, who is himself in Washington, and the friends of Representative Hopkins, who are quite numerous say they take no stock in any such agree ment. Representatives of Aguinaldo have had another conference with the American Philippine Commis sioners and have been again told that the only way for the Filipinos to get a cessation of hostilities is to except the unconditional sur render terms of Gen. Otis. The feeling is general in official circles that the Cuban army has been allowed rope enough and that they must either surrender their arms or refuse to surrender them at once. If they refuse the chances are that they will be made to do so. President McKinley and his advisers have been disposed to treat these men very leniently and to humor their whims to as great an extent as possible, without giv ing them the idea that they were able to dictate to us, but there is a limit to patience, and by their backing and filling and bickering among themselves, the Cubans have very near reached that of the administration. It is the under standing now that the disarma ment is to begin the latter part of this week, but there have been other similar agreements that have not been carried out. Intelligent men from nearly every section of the South and West bring similar reports to Washington concerning the loss of prestige by Bryan and silver. Col. P. Lannon. Editor of the Salt Lake (Utah) Tribune, who is visiting Washington said: "The most ardent believers in free silver are forced to admit that the issue is about dead. The trend of events since '96 has forced it into oblivion and however much we may adhere to the white metal from principle, it has been eliminated as a living factor in the politics of the day. As for Col. Bryan, while many of us admire him, it must be said that his prestige is on the wane. But no matter whether the Demo crats name Bryan or some other man, McKinley is going to succeed himself." Col. Lannon says of the case of Roberts, the "polygamist representative-elect: * 'lf his claim to membership in the House is re jected. as it ought, to be, there will be good ground for national re joicing." Spain's Greatest Need. Mr. R. P. Olivia, of Barcelona, Spain, spends his winters at Aiken, S. C. Weak nerves had caused severe pains in the back of his head. On using Electric Bitters, America's greatest Blood and Nerve remedy, all pain soon left him. He says this grand medicine is what his country needs. All America knows that it curws liver and kidney trouble, purifies the blood, tones up the stomach, strengthens the nerves, puts vim, vigor and new life into every muscle, nerve and organ of the body. If weak, tired or ailing you need it. Every bottle guaranteed, only 50 cents at L. Taggart's drug store. An exchange furnishes the following story which points a very clear moral: "Said a local merchant: 'Have you noticed the line advertisement I have on the fence out west of town?' 'No,' replied the customer, 'but if you will send the fence around to my house some day I wiil read it over and see what you are dealing in. Fact is, I'm reading newspapers and don't get much time to study fenceology.' " CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, MAY 25, 1899. ft! 111, THY, IE I. UNDER A BIG TENT! FOREST'S Dncle Tom's Cabin Co.
