As a word tunnel it has been shamefully over-worked. The Democrats run their cam paigns on the theory that the peo ple are tired of prosperity already, and want a change. The fact that the grasshoppers neglected to fuse with the Populists this year in Nebraska may, to some extent, account for the good times in that State. The Democratic papers are call ing this "a government on wheels" since the President started west. At any rate that is better than a "government with wheels." The Democratic National Com mittee cleared $20,000 on the Texas State Fair, and judging from this experience it had better drop poli tics and go into the State fair busi ness. By perambulating Europe for several months, Chairman Jones lias discovered that our prosperity is but an irridescent dream, and doesn't reach the farmer or the workingman. About the only famine that the depreciated condition of silver can be associated with this fall is the freight car famine. It is the only bit of hard luck the country has in sight just at present. Uncle Sam's consuls will look after tlie interests of British citizens in the Transvaal during hostilities. We have not forgotten John Bull's services in that line when we had that little argument with Spain. It is hoped that some telegraph company will be thoughtful enough to place a special wire at the dis posal of Aguinaldo on election night. It will contribute a good deal toward shortening the war. Chairman Jones of the Demo cratic National Committee, if we are to judge from his recent utter ances since his return from Europe, is disposed to take up the fight where he left off in 189G. He evi dently overlooks the progress made in his absence. Four years ago hundreds of men eo.tld be seen every morning at the gat"S of the factories hoping for a chaijce to get a day's work at any wages. Now the factories are ad vertising for men to take the good wi ges that Republican prosperity ha: brought. The Presidentof the Amalgamated Association of Iron and Steel Work ers told the Industrial Commission at Washington the other day that his experience in dealing with com binations of capital or "trusts" had been most satisfactory. As a rul" lie thought it easier to avoid strikes with them than with private employers. A decided change is noticed in the attitude of the Democratic leaders. They are less inclined to criticise the policy of whipping the Filipinos first and determining the form of government afterwards, than they were two months ago. The return of the volunteer regi ments was a disapi>ointment to them, as they soon found that the soldiers did not take kindly to the demand that the American forces be withdrawn at once. POINTED COnnENT. W.age-earners appear satisfied with dollars worth 0110 hundred cents each. At the recent meeting of the Illinois State Federation of Labor a silver plank to their plat form was proposed but deliberately rejected. The Treasury receipts continue to pile up in excess of the Treasury expenditures, despite the Demo cratic assertion that the Dingley law was a failure and could not meet the ordinary running expen ses of the Government. More railroads are being built in the United States, more business is being transacted on those already in existence, more manufacturing is in progress, more exportation of manufactures is being done and more general prosperity and less failures are reported than ever be fore in the history of the country, a condition which augurs ill for the Democratic campaigns in 1899 and 1900. The laboring men who still cling to Bryanism should take into con sideration this fact: When Bryan made his previous tour through the country they could go and hear him without losing any time what ever from the jobs they didn't have. Now every industriously inclined mechanic and da}' laborer will have to "lay off" from his job or miss the speech. The lesson is clear enough.—lndianapolis Journal. "Out loose from Aguinaldo," shouts the Philadelphia Times to the Democratic party. Easier said than done. Besides, Aguinaldo sincerely trusts the Democracy and has staked his all on the chances of its success. It would be base in gratitude to throw him overboard just because he has talked too much. Other good Democrats have done that too, and maintained their standing in the party. —Pittsburg Com. Gazette. People who watch the efforts of the railroad companies to handle their freight traffic will agree with Mr. Bryan's rfieent reluctant state ment that "There seems to be some prosperity." The demands from all over the country for cars to move products continues to tax every resource of the car shops. The railroads centering in the great manufacturing cities of the East are making use of everything in the shape of a freight-carrier that can be made to run; yet complaints of shortage and delays are constant, while in the West the crops are taxing the roads to their utmost. President McKinley showed very clearly in his recent speech at Minneapolis that expansion found as many opponents and as much severe criticism when the Louisiana Territory was acquired and the Alaska purchase made as it does to-day, yet everybody now con cedes that both of those purchases were extremely wise and extremely advantageous in the results to the Union and the people affected. Loyal and consistent Democrats, and there are millions of them, must blush for their party and the reputation which its would-be lead ers are making for it when they read Aguinaldo's latest manifesto, in which he says that "In America there is a great party that insists upon the Government's recognizing Filipino independence, and we should pray God that the great Democratic party shall win at the next election, and Imperialism fail in its mad attemptfto subjugate us by force of arms." Democratic stump orators who were insisting in 1890 that there could be no prosperity without free trade and free silver will, perhaps, be interested to know that the fail ures in September, IS!)!), amounted to less than one-fourth of those of September, 181)0, the very month in which they were trying to in duce people to accept their political nostrums. The failures in Sep tember, 18!)6, were, according to Dun's Review, $29,774,917, while for September, 1897, they had fal len to $10,309,935; for September, 1898, to 88,808,019, and for Sep tember. 1899, they were but $6,- 979,084, the lowest record in Sep tember failures since the keeping of these records began. Millions Given Away. It is certainly gratifiyingto the public to know of one concern in the land who are not afraid to be generous to the needy and suffering. The proprietors of Dr. Kings New Discovery for Con sumption, Coughs and colds, have given away over ten million trial bot tles of this great medicine; and have the satisfaction of knowing it has abso lutely cured thousands of hopeless casses. Asthma, Bronchitis, Hoarse ness and all diseases of the Throat, Chest and bungs are surely cured by it. Call on L. Taggart Druggist, and get a free trial bottle. Regular size 50c. and sl. Every bottle guaranteed, or price refunded. CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 19, 1899. WASHINGTON LETTER. I From our Regular Correspondent.) WASHINGTON, Oct. 16th. 1899. Secretary Root finds much to please him just now. The military movements in the Philippines dur ing the last few days, which are preliminary to the "general cam paign, have all been successful, notwithstanding the bad condition of the ground after the long rainy season. In every case, the object sought was obtained. Secretary Root thinks this the beginning of the end, and that long before the close of the dry season there will be no armed bodies of Filipinos on the island of Luzon, and 110 diffi culties are anticipated 011 any of the other islands. Everybody now looks forward to the early pacifica tion of the Philippines. Another thing that pleased Secretary Root was the telegram from Havana stating that the taking of the Cuban census was started to-day on schedule time and that everything has been arranged for its early completion. Gen. Shafter was to-day retired as a Brigadier General of the regular army, but his management of affairs at San Francisco, where he has charge of the shipping of all troops to the Philippines, has been so elficient that lie will be retained in the service as a Major General of Volunteers, as long as his ser vices are required. Gen Shafter was retired under the age limit law, which gave the war department 110 discretion, to-day being his sixty fourth birthday. Ten army chaplains have been ordered to the Philippines by the War Department, to assist the eight who are already over there, in looking after the spiritual wel fare of the soldiers. Senator Hayward, of Nebraska, who is in Washington, and who is thoroughly posted on the politi cal situation in the state, says he is satisfied that the Republicans will win, although Mr. Bryan is making greater effort to prevent it than he did to carry the state for himself in "J(>. Speaking of the National outlook, Senator Hay ward said: "I regard the renomi nation of Mr. Bryan as absolutely certain, and his defeat as inevi table. He can't get the prosperous citizens of the West excited over as dead an issue as free silver is. Nor can he gain any capital by his stand upon the Philippine question, though it is rather difficult to learn just where he does stand on that subject. At all events, he won't be able to get electoral votes of his own state next year, and outside of the South, the voters everywhere will record themselves overwhelm ingly for his Republican oppo nent." The settlement for the time of the Alaska boundary dispute, by Canada's acceptance of the tempor ary boundary line sometime ago agreed upon by Secretary Hay and Greatßritain's diplomatic represen tative in Washington, is a great diplomatic triumph for this admin istration. The temporary boundary line gives Canada neither a port, nor an outlet 011 the Lynn canal, both of which Sir Wilfrid Laurier recently said it must have or there would be war. The war between Great Britain and the Transvaal republic will be likely to prove decidedly profitable to this couutry, as our neutrality will not prevent our selling supplies to both, excepting, of course, arms and munitions of war. Our peace commerce witli the Transvaal—last year the total was slightly under 82.000,000 —is so small that its loss will not be seriously felt. This government will be strictly neutral in the war, and our consular of ficers in South Africa will return the courtesy extended to us by British consulf in Cuba, during the war with Spain, by looking after the interests of British citizens in South Africa as long as the war lasts. In assuming this task our government gave the strongest pos sible pledge of its maintenance of neutrality, although the Democrats are pretending otherwise, with the hope of altecting German votes in Ohio and elsewhere. Spreads Like Wildfire. You can't keep a good thing down. News of it travels fast. When things 1 are "the best" they become "the best selling."
