Our .Militant Strength- For defensive purposes, the lesson of American martial ardor and skill thus taught to Europe within the year that is past is of incalculable value, and for long years to come, says the Phila delphia Ledger, it must temper the ag gressiveness of nations that might otherwise have sought to cheek the progress of a republic whose unexam pled prosperity is a standing menace "to monarchical institutions. Thissense of reserved power to be found behind the "towers along the steep," in the in telligence, the material resources, the skill in improvising, if need be, the im plements of war, steadies the nation when it is called upon to take a tirni stand for good causes. It should sum mon its energies for no other purpose. The intelligence which makes nations strong for war should restrain them from going to war for war's sake. Not withstanding the republic has joined the ranks of the modern militant powers in such a dramatic way and in such a short time, we may confidently trust that the country will remain a slumber ing giant a.: id the unworthy conflicts into which some <«f the militant nations have been so prone to enter. While Coroporal Frank Semple, of the Twentieth Kansas regiment, was swimming the Marilao river with l'un ston, his sister, Miss Jennie, was plow ing the Semple home farm, 15 miles south of Wichita, Kan. Frank was the only support of his widowed njother, but site urged him to enlist, and Jen nie assured him that they would keep the farm running all right in his ab sence. Miss Jennie's admirers say she is the prettiest girl in Kansas, and they think all the more of her since she left school just after her eighteenth birth day and came home when Frank joined Funston. The corporal was wounded in the head while he was swimming the Marilao, but the wound was not seri ous, and now Miss Semple and his mother are locking forward to his homecoming with the fondest anticipa tions. "There is nothing in si name, but I utmost dread to tell a stranger where I am from," said a citizen of Oshkosh, Wis., in Washington recently. "You see our town has been treated as a joke so long on account of its outlandish name that the American people can never be educated to re;-aiding 1 Osh kosh scriousiy. it is too late in the day to rechristcn it.and so it will have to jog along until the end of time under its present appellation, and he the butt of countless thousands yet unborn. I want to say, though, for Oshkosh, that it is a live and progressive city of 30,- COO, with as refined and intelligent peo ple as you will find anywhere in Amer ica, and that those people who may have taken up the notion that it is a jay town because of its queer name ought to pay us a visit and become unde ceived." In order tr. be strictly in line with the latest fancy it is necessary to have your playing c ards tnnde to order. In the ea-t it is quite the thing sor the hostess at a card party to surprise her guests by supplying them with cards oil the back of each of which is a repro duction of her own photograph. Or, if modesty forbids, and the party is given to a club or organization of any kind, the club ling or other symbol may be used instead. At the house par ties the playing cards are decorated with a picture of one's country house. 'The greatest drawback to the new idea is the fact that guests seem to be un able to r-'Mst the temptation to take vvith them as a souvenir otic oft.lie cards, which cf course renders tin whole pack useless. On departing from America Air. Wil liam Archer, the English critic, writes some kindly impressions of the conn try. He was not called on for a speeck as often as he expected. Twice lit was caught unawares and said "everv thing 1 didn't want to say." Then In prepared a speech, but "the proceed ings opened with an iced beverage called, I believe, 'a Mississippi toddy,' probably as being the longest toddy on record, and on its down-lapsing cur rent my eloquence was swept into the gtilf of oblivion." Mr. Archer remarks that America overtopped his anticipa tions. PRICES AND PROSPERITY. The AVnusen of Worl. liiKim-n Ad fuuced I'nder the lte|iutillc* mi Ailinlll l» < ru" <i 11. Cnrient dispatches report something akin to a famine in the iron market, with a corresponding advance in the price, and of all manufactured articles in which it is a factor. As this includes locomotives, rolling stock, and, conse quently, transportation, together with all agricultural implements, all ma chinery, tools and building materials— in fact, affecting everything directly or indirectly, it probably means a cor responding advance in the prices of all commodities. This accords with es tablished principles of political econo my. The relationship between pros perity and wages, consumption and prices, is so close that its operation can always be traced from one to the other and predicted with approximate certainty. Prosperity brings higher wages, higher wages bring greater consumption, increasing the number and capacity of purchasers, and this in turn causes higher prices. Thus an era of prosperity is generally an era iff comparatively high prices as well as of good wages. There is no hardship to the people in this. Better high prices with good wages than low prices and no wages at all. High wages, high prices and good money with high pur chasing power are signs of high pros perity, such as the American people are now enjoying. The iron trade is a traditional barom eter of industrial situations. Neither of the so-called precious metals fur nishes as sure a criterion for judging of national prosperity as does the com monest and cheapest of all metals. The consumption of iron, and, consequent ly, its price, are an unfailing indica tion of the times. The fact that, not withstanding the great increase in the (Productive capacity of American mills during the last few years and the steady growth of their output, there is now an actual scarcity of iron with a big ad vance in price, indicates a great in crease in consumption. This is due partly to the increasing prosperity of our own people and partly to the growth of our exports of iron manu factures. With the American people using more iron than ever before and with foreign customers ordering Amer ican locomotives, steel rails, iron bridges, agricultural implements, steam and electric engines and tools and equipments of all kinds, it is not surprising there is a boom in the price of iron. "Steel and rolling mills, blast furnaces and iron foundries are swamped with orders," says a dispatch. Meanwhile the voluntary advancement of wages continues. Within the last four months the wages of 30,000 em ployes in the iron industry have been advanced in the city of Chicago alone, and throughout the country of several times that, number. Thus we have a new demonstration of the fact that prosperity, high wages and high prices go hand in hand. —Indianapolis Jour nal. A RARE INSTANCE. One Democratic Orniui That Snpsiortx the Preniili'iit In IIIk I'hll ipiiine l'olicy. There are some democratic newspa pers which not only have no sympa thy with the attempts of their anti-ex pansionist colleagues to make political capital out of censure of the adminis tration on account of its policy lit the Philippines, but which emphatically protest against and denounce such a course. Among such the New York Times is conspicuous. It recognizes the fact that to attempt to make anti-ex pansion a campaign issue is a colossal blunder, and is frank enough to say so without beating about the bush. It points out that the president's task is not an easy one, but exerts itself pa triotically to hold up his hands in a try ing time, and calls upon him to be not disheartened by the censure that has been heaped upon him by unscrupulous representatives of its party. In a leading editorial in the Times the president is commended for the stand which he lias taken, for the firmness which he has displayed, for the un swerving course toward the right which lie has held, and lie is warned that "he should not be disheartened by these symptoms of dissatisfaction, he should not be misled by an inevitable diversity of opinion." Sueli a warning is not necessary, and therefore lias no particular value, ex cept. as a gratifying evidence of good will on the part of a political opponent. It is a pleasing proof that there are yet democrats who take pride in mak ing it known to all who read that they arc unwilling to subordinate the wel fare of the nation to a seeming advan tage to their party. And the Times goes even further. It administers a direct rebuke to its party and declares that it has weakened itself by opposing the administration's conduct of the war and denouncing its acceptance of t!i" responsibilities that came to it as the result of thai war. It says: "The* querulous voice and unreasonable attitude of anti-imp rialism <!o not reflect the temper of the American people. Tho democratic party, discredited and desper ate, Rropir.R wildly for an issue, is weaker now than it was three years af?o. when, Mr. McKlnlt.v defeat d Its candidate. The president has th< threat mass ol tAtr people at liis back. He has with him the stronn leading men of the country, lie is armed for advance." It is extremely unlikely thai this, or anything of like nature that the Times or any other fair and just democratic paper may say. will turn the dominant faction of the democracy from its sui cidal course; but. having made plain that they are patriotic .as well as demo cratic, such papers can view their par ty's defeat when it comes next year, with the equanimity of those who have nothing fo>- which to reproach them selves and are conscious oft avingdone their highest duty.—Albany Journal CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, JUNE 29, 1899. THE COMING SPEAKER. Col. Heinlermin In In I.lne Willi tlie \llnl Principle* of tlie Ite jiulilicaii Party. Col. David D. Henderson, of lowa, will be the speaker of the next house of rep resentatives. This was probable before the action of the New York delegation Tuesday, and was certain after that ac tion. Twelve of the 15 members of the New York delegation were for James S. Sherman for speaker. But unfortunate ly three were persistently for the candi dacy of Sereno E. Payne. The division caused by the persistence of this small minority prevented the prompt nnd har monious action to which New York was entitled, and which v.otild have made the state a formidable factor tot he very time of the balloting. Put the union of the west upon Col. Henderson empha sized the disagreement in New York state upon this state's candidate, and secured for the distinguished lowan a support from eastern states that re moved from his supporters any imputa tion of sectionalism. Nevertheless, though rt had been pub lished that the conference of New York state congressmen was to indorse unan imously Col. Henderson's candidacy, the New York delegation insisted upon supporting its first choice and indors ing Mr. Sherman and his canvas. It was not until Mr. Sherman, recognizing the dilliculties of the situation, withdrew his name that his state associates in congress consented to pledge their vote to Col. Henderson. Mr. Sherman's action was creditable to him. Indorsed by 12 of the 15 mem bers of the New York delegation, and with the written promise of support from 29 representatives from 11 differ ent stall s, not including New York, be sides many friendly expressions from other members, Mr. Sherman was not out of the race. His withdrawal in the interest of united action should secure for him appropriate consideration in the arrangement, of the affairs of the coming house. Col. Henderson, whose election to the speakership is now left without the shadow of si doubt, is by character nnd record it worthy successor to the high office. He is in his seven teeth year of congressional service, and has been be fore this the candidate of his state for the speakership. His service on the im portant committee on appropriations, as chairman of tiie judiciary commit tee and as next to the speaker on t.''e committee on rules has made him one of the n HIS t conspicuous of the national legislators of the hist decade. Col. Henderson's war record is sc good that it is glorious in its commis sions and omissions. Kntcring the war iis a private of the lowa volunteers, he retired with the commission of a colo nel. Hut he omitted to bring home one of his leg's, which was left on the battle field. That did not prevent him from fighting with one leg the last year of the war. Col. Henderson is a ready and vigor ous orator, a man of charming genial ity and whose firmness is untouched by asperity, and it is safe to say that no choice for the speakership could be made that would be more satisfactory to both sides of the house. The presi dential bee will not w'orrv Col. Hender son, for lie was born in Scotland, and t he heather is still an exotic in the white house conservatory. The new speaker is in line with the vital principles of the republican party and the lofty purposes; of the national administration, and republicanism will have in his hands the use of a ga\el whose strokes will be like the sounding of a reveille and not of "lights out." — Troy Times.

Mansfield. 0., June 21. A storm of unusual severity occurred here Monday night and extended to other points in Ohio, notably Shelby on the northwest and l.oudonvilie on 1 he soullieast. Here the storm lasted from ~:.'io until after midnight, and was accompanied with active thunder and lightning and with heavy rain and hail. A number of houses in the lower part of the city v. < re moved from foundat ions and dwel lings were under water several feet deep. The street car power house was flooded so that cars could not run after nine p. m. Traffic on all raiiroads was suspended until four a.m. Wash outs occurred on the Haltimore A- Ohio road. All factories in the lower part of the city were tlooded and arc unable to run. No one was drowned, but there were many narrow escapes. Two hun dred peoplt at the Casino were sur rounded by the flood. Many waded out, but others were compelled to remain all night in darkness. Total damage done in the city is estimated at $."0,000, and may be more. At Shelby the rise in the little stream running through the town was so rapid that citizens were aroused at two a. m. by the fire alarm and by ringing of church bells. All cellars were flooded and the principal streets became run ning streams. The post office could not be reached early in the day and busi iu»ss was at a standstill. A new bridge was wholly submerged. The damage to it cannot be ascertained until the wa ter subsides. The Haltimore it Ohio railroad suffered from washouts. At Houdonville the storm seems to have gat bored strength and there was a decided cloudburst. Horsetail creek soon broke over its banks with such force that the first house it struck, that of Isaac Hunter, was swept from its foundations and completely destroyed. II unter is missing and may he drowned. Bridges and roadways, have been broken or destroyed, entailing a loss of SIOO,- Ddd.

The Jinks are perforce situated at some distance from town, and the easiest and quickest way to reach them is with the bicycle. For golf good links nre needed; for cycling Good Koads. Golf links can be made anywhere by digging holes, and making artificial barriers. On Long Island Nature ha» been particularly kind. Its North Shore is all rolling country, in many places glacial action has formed hills and hollows of perfect delight to the followers of this sport. The level and beautiful ocean shore is broken in many places by rolling hills covered with grass and shrubs which goto make up links so close to the Scottish ideals that all who have played in the old country are struck at once by their wonderful fitness for the sport, and added to this the fact that the coo) South breeze comes up every day throughout the Summer from across the ocean and brings with it a bracing nr.d exhilaration that nothing else can give. Nowhere but on Long Island do these conditions exist. It is unique n this as it is in its varied scenery and its unsurpassed attractions in ever;? line. The roads are good and manj beautiful side paths and cycle paths wind through the woods. The toui around the Island which can be mads in three days is most enjoyable, and t week taken to the trip can be filled verj full of pleasure. The camera should not be left at home, as the scenery is constantly changing, and its beauties are well worth preserving for future enjoyment. SOME SHORT STOPS.
