THE Italian government,for 27 years, has guaranteed to the pope an annual income of about $175,000, which he lias steadily refused to accept. The arrears of this annuity amount now to over £20,000,000. THE Compania General of Manila, the largest cigar making concern in the world, employs over 10,000 hands, and turns out every year 80,000,000 cigars, 40,000,000 cigarettes, and nearly 8,000 tons of cut tobacco.

THE death penalty is rarely enforced in Germany, Austria, Denmark or Sweden. In New York 11 out of 12 murderers escape without any punish ment, and in the United States only one murder in tifty suffers capital pun ish mcnt. MARRIED men, according to a German investigator, live longer than bachel ors. and are less likely to become in sane. Another argument for matri mony is found in the fact that there are US criminals among every 1.000 bachelors, while among married men the ratio is only 18 per 1,000. Nor the least interesting among the new occupations for women is that which has been opened at Vienna. There, in the "gayest city in the world," is a woman grave digger.

AN UNSTABLE PARTY. rhe Democrat*} lln» Alwnyn I'atfa to "t'v**lo|i ik I'<»lie} I»- lis Onu. The Boston Transcript intimates that if the president or congress should de cide to abandon the Philippines the per sons who are now howling: to give up the islands would then shriek even loud er against such a course. There is a good point here. The persons who are shouting' against holding the Philip pines are nearly all democrats. A few republicans are among t he contraet ion ists, but nine out of every ten of them are democrats. Bryan, Altgeld, Stone, Jones and all the rest of the men who fan the Chicago convention and who expect to control the next national gathering of the democracy, are all shouting against expansion. All of them want the country to get out of the Philippines and Cuba, and to even give up Porto l!ico. There are two reasons why the democracy takes this ground. The democratic leaders are timid and incapable, and the democrat ic party ever since the republican or ganization first went inU> power in 1861 has been a party of obstruction or negation. Everything which the republican party lias favored in the past 1 I years the democracy has opposed. But alter op])osing republican policy until oppo sition made the democracy ridiculous, that party has always come over to re publican ground. Tills was so regard ing the doctrine of secession, on the amendments to the constitution, on nearly all the reconstruction policy, on the greenbacks and the national bank ing system, though a few democrats WANTS A CHANGE OF DIET. :; ': " : ' J *%SS* I Eillli I n F3B | THE DONKEY—Oh, let up on that, Bill, and give me something else. Yon've been feeding me on that tree silver fodder for the last four years and I'm about starved. make a sort of shuffling assault on the national batiks occasionally, ami iliisj element putin a plank in the demo cv't'c platform in IVJ2 to repeal the prohibitory ten per cent, tax 011 state bank issues. Even the tariff, which the democrats fought with virulence for many years, they did not dare to at tack in principle when, in the only time since 1857-9 they had, in complete control of all branches of the government simultaneously. The W il son-Gorman act,which provided neither revenue nor protection in sufficient amount, recognized and sustained, though in a feeble way, the doctrine of protection to domestic industries. That was the tariff which, according to Pres ident Cleveland, meant "party periidy and party dishonor," and he refused to sign it, allowing it to become a law by the expiration of the ten days' limit. It was a democratic measure through out, however, and was one of the great number of causes which conspired to inflict the overwhelming defeats i;n the democracy in the congressional canvass of 1594 and the presidential campaign of IS9G. This has been the record of the de mocracy ever since the republican party first obtained control of the gov ernment more than a generation ago. During all this time the democracy lias done nothing except oppose republican policy. Even in the campaign of 189G, when it seemed to have struck out a path for itself in its free silver lunacy, it merely struck at the republican party. The republicans iu the St. Louis convention came out squarely and de cisively in favor of tlie gold standard. The democracy, in its convention a few weeks later, assailed the gold standard. Then, as in all its career since the early days of the war of secession, it has been an incubus and an obstruction merely. It has lacked the brains to develop a policy of its own which has had the faintest chance of securing the accept ance of honest and public-spirited men. After fighting republican measures un til these had been so long and so firmly established by the concurrence of the people that 112 urtlier hostility would only excite Ihe country's derision, it dropped its opposition and came over onto re publican ground. If the republicans should now abandon expansion tlie democrats would reverse their present course and come out. in favor of expan sion. The republicans, of course, will adhere to the expansion policy, and it, will be sanctioned by an overwhelming majority of the people in 1900. Then some democrat will call a halt to 11iv party's anti-expansion bourbonism, as CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, JUNK 22, 1899 Vallandigham did in 1»?1 to its insane attacks 011 the permanent facts of the war legislation, and it will step once mere over onto republican ground.— St. Louis <ilobe-l)emocrat. ALTGELD IS THE LEADER- A Cut initl Doit Tiliii* of It In ProKpcct f«»r tlie rr«'i» Sllv«*rit«'« In 111 i iiolm. Bryan and Alt geld have joined hands, but llarrison was not at the wedding. The Ohio Valley Bimetallic league has organized for the campaign next year and Altgeld will be the leader. It has appointed a committee, composed of Altgeld, of Illinois; the pestiferous George Fred Williams, of Massachu setts; Obermeyer, of Indiana; Tarvin, of Kentucky, who is ambitious to Vie Bryan's running mate; Samonin, of Kentucky, and Clark, of Indiana, os tensibly to cooperate with the demo cratic national committee, really to dic tate to it, in organizing the democratic party for the campaign. It will make its light squarely for the sixteen to 011 c Chicago platform, to which Bryan lias committed himself over and over again by defining that platform as a party creed which will live. The Bimetallic league is in the field to make "t he financial plank of the Chi cago platform of without any change" the issue, to renominate I'ry an and to advocate so-called bimetal lism. It is not likely the league has any expectation of winning, but no oth er logical course could be taken, for if the financial plank of the Chicago plat form were dropped Bryan must dro| with it. It is determined the party shall make tlie silver fight over again with II ryan ns its leader. The determi nation of the league, however, will not interest the country, for silver is ch ad and buried beyond resurrection, and if the democratic party should take it up as an issue again it, too, would be buried out of sight. The only interest which attaches to its action is the defiance (lung in tlie face of the regular demo cratic party of Illinois by placing Alt geld at the head of the committee. It virtually pledges the aid of the league in the tight between Altgeld an I Har rison, and it will help a contest before the national committee to secure repre sentation in the national convention. The outcome will be a cat and dog tight between the Altgeldites and Ilarrison ites in Illinois which will be amusing, but of no concern to republicans, as Illi nois cannot he carried by the democrats whether led by Bryan or some other leader.

Lawton un expectedly stirred up one of the liveli est. engagements of the war south of Las I'inas Tuesday morning, upon which occasion A meriennfield guns w ere engaged in the first artillery duel against a Filipino battery concealed in the jungle. Companies F and I of the Twenty first infantry, were nearly surrounded by a large body' of insurgents, but the Americans cut tlieir way out with heavy loss. \Vn I'sli lin Action. The I'nitcd States turretship Monad nock and the gunboyts Helena and /.u --fiVo trained their batteries on I'.acoor ami 1 lie rebel trenches near Las I'inas all the morning. I'.acoor was once on tire, but the natives stopped the spread i of the flames. During the nigh 1 an insurgent cannon ! was fired three times at the Americans j on the outskirts of Las I'inas. Gen. Lawton Tuesday morning took j a battalion of the Fourteenth regiment and two companies of the Twenty-first \ regiment to locate the rebel battery, j and two guns of the Sixth artillevy and j four mountain guns were planted against it at GOO yards distance. TJie I labels had a large gun from which they i were firing home-made canister, loaded with nails, and smaller guns. Shootinu' Most At'ciirate, Their shooting was most accurate. The first lot of canister burst directly in front of Scott's guns ami another shattered the legs of a private in the j Fourteenth infantry. Several shots j struck the edge of the town. The country traversed was as bad as It is possible to imagine, being main ly lagoons, mini and water fringed with bamboos. As soon as the fighting opened the Americans were attacked by hidden riflemen on all sides, even j the Amigos, or "friendly" natives, in the houses of the town shooting into their rear. t'mmlit Inn Trail. A company of the Twenty-first regi- ] mctit, skirmishing along the beach with | Amigo guides, found, apparently, a i handful of rebels, who retreated. The men of the Twenty-first followed and, suddenly, the rebels opened a terrific fire on the troops from the sides and rear. The. soldiers withdrew to the water's edge, finding what shelter they could, and were picked off rapidly. After their ammunition was nearly exhausted, the companies of the Twen ty-first retreated. Tint Gen. Lawton dashed down and rallied the men. A OeM|»«*rnte Stnml. A little group made adesperatestand, Gen. Lawton, Maj. Starr ami Lieuts.

Manila, June 14.—At daylight to-day the rebels at Cavite Vie jo dropped two shells from a big smooth-bore gun mounted in front of the church in the navy yard. The only damage (lone was splintering the top of the huge shear* on the mole. The gunboats Callao, Manila and Moquito then proceeded to dismount tlie gun. After breakfast the rebels opened fire ! !>long the beach to Bucoor. After silencing the big gun at Cavite ' Viejo the gunboats ran close along the shore, bombarding the rebel position. The rebels replied with rifle lire and with the fire of some small pieces of artillery. So vigorous was the enemy's fire that at a. m.the gunboat He lena joined the small gunboats already named and th? I'rinceton, Monterey and Monadnock, from their unchor- I ages, dropped occasional big shells among the rebels. This, apparently, only served fj incite the rebels, as they kept up an : ncessant fire of musketry and artillei*? near the mouth of the Zapote rive'*, two miles north of I'.a coor. Concentrate ttie Fire. The fire of sill seven warships was concentrated on this point shortly after noon, when the upper bay pre sented the appearance of being the scene of a great naval battle. The in surgents were eventually forced 1o abandon their guns after holding out for about four hours, only to lie con fronted by Gen. Lawton's force on land and in the rear, where there was heu*\ light ing. Beyond the destruction of several buildings along the water front, the effect of tin; bombardment is not known. i' 1 n I*ionn I'iuhiinur. When flic battle was resumed at one o'clock with the reenf'orcements, our our battery having silenced the cue- iny'sgnns, the Americans, wading waist deep in the mud of tlie salt fiats and pouring steady volleys of musketry at t In- rebels, slowly drove their opponents iieyond the river. Then the two armies lay facing each other across the deep stream, the enem.v practically out of sight, while the men in Idue and khaki lay in the main bushes, many of them without any shelter, for three hours, without a moment's cessation in the firing, pouring bullets at the enemy as Cjist as they could load. The thousand rifles blended into a continuous roar was vastly different from the intermit tent skirmishlike rattle of most of the engagements. One battalion after another, Gen. (ien. Law toil summoned the reserves from Las I'inas until only enough troops were left in tlietown to prevent the Filipinos from attacking the Amer icans in the rear which was feared, as they were creeping around our left through the woods, delivering a flank ing fire which put a great strain upon the endurance of the Americans. who were floundering in the mud across tlie rjver. The Fourteenth regiment lay to the right of the bridge, and in front of iliem was the Twelfth regiment, with the Ninth on the right and the Twenty first up the road, facing the bridge, which was the key to the situation. On the bridge were the bodies of two Americans who had attempted to rush across, and many wounded men were carried from thr opun ground before Ihe bridge. I'vrrj Mnn fur Himself. After tiring in volleys for a short time the Americans were ordered to fire when and where they could see the enemy. It was every man for himself, and the best our men could do was to aim at the faint mists arising from 111e rebels' smokeless powder. (Jen.

In fact, the generals were among 111<■ few men on the battlefield who refused to take shelter utuh r the hottest lire. \t four o'clock there was an hour's lull in the fighting, and an artillery sergeant galloped back to where two guns of the mountain battery were waif ing in reserve and slimited ; "tiring up those gun-!"

Manila, .Mint 14—S:lj a. m. lie fore dark last night, the Fourteenth infan try swam tin; /.a pote river, charged and carried the trenches, a heavy fusillade of artillery preparing the way and cov ering the crossing. The insurgents broke for the woods before the Four teenth reached them. Almost at the same time the Ninth and the Twelfth crossed a bar of the sea and came upon their left flank at a point where a body of marines with Maxim guns landed un der protection of tjic ships' batteries and fired upon the enemy's left rear with a demoralizing effect. The Twen ty-first crossed the river by a bridge as soon as it could be mended. Sixty five dead Filipinos were found in the trenches, most of them shot through the head. Several five-inch smooth bore guns were captured with ammuni tion marked "IT. S. navy yard." \notlier Vttni'k Itcpellcil. After crossing the river the tr..%- were withdrawn, with tlie exception of the Ninth and Twenty-first, these regi ments being left with four guns to guard the bridge. As they were being formed into companies the insurgents commenced to !ii«' volleys from the bamboo jungle 300 yards away, The regiments formed inlo line rapidly and coolly, though under fire, and, cheering, rushed to the woods, driving the enemy a mile away, the Filipinos disputing every foot. The Fourteenth encamped across the river, the men caring for many of the Filipinos' wounded. Eight prisoners were cap tured. The majority of the Filipinos wore red uniforms. Oregon Troop* Snil.

Long Island is an undiscovered conn try to a great number of people. Very few realize that the little line shown on the large map is one hundred »ud thirty-four miles long and of varying widths up to twenty-live miles. Few realize that it was the first section of the United States settled by colonists from both England and Holland, and that their towns are to-day full of pic turesque houses, beautiful avenues of trees, in fact with all the inland beau ties and in addition the various attrac tions of the seashore. While the South Shore for a portion of its length is almost level, the North Shore is hilly and heavily wooded. Every portion of the island is well suited for man's abiding place. It has in a most marked degree the three great necessities of life and civilization, (iood Air, Good Water and Good Roads. The western section (Queens and Nas sau Counties) is crossed in every direc tion by the best of macadam roads; six hundred miles having been built within three years. The eastern end of Suffolk County has excellent roads consisting of macadam, gravel, shell and country roads running through the woods or along the shore. Fishing, hunting, bathing, yachting, cycling and golfing are all indulged in undermost perfect conditions. A NEW EXPERIENCE. Fhelie Ann W'a* Orcatlr Worried Over the Action» of tlie Trees n.n<l Ilouaea. She is only a little black pickaninny who lives down in Georgia. She is under a dozen years in age and until a short time ago had passed all of her life on a rural plantation. Trains and their attendant movements wers utterly unknown. Indeed, what I'hebe Ann knew of anything outside of that plantation would not make the beginning of a primer. She was being educated for a Louse servant and hence was not permitted to roarn to any creat extent. She was busy about the big Eou.se all day and at night retired to th» shack set apart for her family. Along in the season, for some good rea son, it became necessary for the family ta move into a city. The little negro girl was wanted, for she had much skill in soothing the childish woes of fhe heir to the estates. So it was decided that she must accompany the expedition. From the time she entered the carriage to ride to the railway station Phebe Ann was in a state of suppressed ex citement. She sat beside "Miss Amy," as she called her mistress, and with staring eyes took in all that passed without com ment. When she. was taken into the train her wonderment was amusing. She sat gin gerly on the cushions, looked out of the win dow and generally seemed uncertain con cerning the possibilities of the future. She ■was silent until the train commenced to move. Then her fear took shape. She saw the landscape passing rapidly before her and her eyes filled, her lip quivered and she teffled audibly. "What's the matter, Phebe Ann?" asked her mispress. "Oh, Miss Amy," wailed the pickanning, "whah all dem houses and trees a-goiu' at?" A seat on the lioor was the only means possible to quiet the fears of the child.—Chi cago Chronicle.
