The Democrats might have some substantial additions to their cam paign fund by selling those anti expansion documents to the junk dealer. Bryan is needed in Texas at once. Ex-Governor Hogg of Texas has declared that it is the duty of this country to "shoot h—l out of the Filipinos." His Democratic friends will pre sumably be sorry to hear that Aguinaldo's plan for a rising among the lower classes in Manila, was detected and suppressed last week. Democratic politicians in their j greed for ollice will hardly be able to stampede the voters of this en lightened country by going about at this late day setting up "King George III" scarecrows. It is safe to assume that Admiral Dewey will not do anything to make himself ridiculous in the eyes ol' the country when it comes to the consideration of his name for the presidency. Your Duty. We know that most of the PRESS readers are too busy with their work to realize that an important election is rapidly approaching and that on Tuesday, Nov. 7th, they will be called upon to again cast their ballots for the party of their principles. Prosperity and plenty j has come to this grand of grandest countries after years of distress, suffering and soup houses —the child of free trade Democratic rule under Grover Cleveland. Honest voter of Cameron county calmly ask yourself the question: "Which do I prefer; a return to those times made possible by electing the Dem ocratic ticket in Pennsylvania and thereby encourage the cheap-money Bryan —Altgeld—Aguinaldo party in their warfare against President McKinley, or do I desire a con tinuance of the prosperity now en joyed by the whole people of the United States in a degree never before known in this or any other country?" This is a question to be decided, not upon partizan lines, but for the good and happiness of these people. The contest in this State this year de cides whether this great era of prosperity shall continue; decides whether the patriotic and unselfish policy of President McKinley shall be endorsed by Pennsylvania. Let the verdict be in tones so unmis takable that the aiders and abettors of those who are engaged in the warfare against our hon orable President may read whilst they run. Pennsylvania will be true to its past record. What will you, Cameron county Republicans, and Democrats, do? You are the bosses—you are the dictators of your own consciences—or ought to be. Ponder carefully the signs of the times and be men. Stand up for those ennobling principles that have given us the bravest men and the grandest party ever known in his tory. Vote an Xat the head of the first column in me ballot Nov. 7th. and you will have fulfilled the highest and most honorable duty of an American citizen. John I. Mitchell for Superior Court. The Republican State Committee met at Philadelphia last Saturday to till the vacancy on the Repnbli can state ticket caused by the re signation of Josiah R. Adams. Judge John I. Mitchell, of Wells boro, was nominated by acclama tion for the position. John I. Mitchell formerly represented Cam eron county in Congress, when this county formed a part of the Tioga district. It 1881 he was elected to the United States Senate and was subsequently elected President Judge of Tioga county, to which position he was last year re-elected without opposition, his name being placed on both tickets. Judge Mitchell is a life-long friend of Gov. Stone, who urged his nomination. It is a significant fact that Gompers, the head of the Federa tion of Labor, is not only opposed to further anti-trust legislation of any kind, but is convinced that the government is not capable of preventing the legitimate develop ment of natural concentration of industry. A Demand for Fair Play. Philadelphia Times, Ind. It is never wise to allow political prejudice or passion to make editors or political orators run away from the truth. Colonel Barnett served as lieu- of the gallant Tenth regiment in the Philippines from the time of its organization until its return to receive the hearty applause of the patriotic people During part of the period of its ser vice Colonel Barnett was in immediate command of the regiment because of the serious and fatal illness of Colonel Hawkins, and no imputation was ever made against his courage that reached the public. It is entirely safe to assume, and all fair-minded men will assume, that a soldier who served with a regiment conspicuous for its gallantry without criticism from his men or from the public, can't be charged with cowardice a few days before the election at which he is to be voted for as a candidate. There are two reasons why the ac cusation of Colonel Barnett dodging the enemy will fall to the ground il' it does not recoil against the accusers and their cause. The brave men of the heroic Tenth would not have per mitted a coward to command them, and the fact that the imputation of cow ardice was invested just on the eve of the election and given to the public for the first time, will be accepted as con clusive that the imputation of coward ice is a mere campaign invention. It is entirely proper to urge any political objections to Colonel Burnett's election as State Treasurer or to criti cise his general character or fitness for the place, but partisan zeal greatly outstrips discretion when it waits until an election is at hand, and then charg es him with cowardice without any in timation as to when or where he ever exhibited a lack of courage. Fair play is not only just, but it is good politics as well. The Republican Ticket. Two weeks from to-morrow Penn sylvania will goto the polls. The Re publican party presents a ticket that it is proud of. The Democrats say that the issue is purely local. Very well, be it so. Can the Republican ticket be matched, says the Philadelphia In quirer ? There is Ilay Brown for Judge of the Supreme Court. He is known in every county Is there a word to be said against him ? There is James E. Barnett, the gal lant commander of the fighting Tenth Regiment, the candidate for State Treasurer. Has any one dared to bring a charge against him? Yes. He is a Republican and a soldier. That is his crime. And so they place against him William T. Creasy, who is neither a Republican nor a soldier, and they say of Creasy—what? Why, he is honest. He may be. He undoubtedly is. But no one yet has dared to breathe a sus picion of the honesty of Colonel Bar nett. And then there is John I. Mitchell for Superior Court Judge. We fancy that there is not even an "insurgent"' who would care to assail Judge Mitch ell. His life has been an open book, was raised on a farm, taught school, studied law was three years district attorney of Tioga county, went to war for a year, was five years in the Leg islature, served four years in the National House of Representatives, was lor six years United States Sena tor, and for the past ten years has been President Judge of the Court of Com mon Pleas of Tioga. He was re-elected last November. Where is the man who is going to say that Judge Mitchell is not worthy of a seat on the bench of the Superior Court ? If there is a Republican who cannot vote that ticket he ought to be asham ed of his association with the Republi can party. "Oh! but it is a State issue," cries Candidate Creasy. "The Treasury has been robbed." Has it ? When ? "But I'll be honest," he says. Indeed. Will not Barnett be honest? "Yes, but if I am elected," declares Creasy, "I'll show the books. I will obey the law." But the law is obeyed, and strictly according to the letter, too. What more, it is a Republican law. The man who goes upon the stump to-day and claims that the State Treasury is run corruptly is a fool, a knave, a delib erate falsifier or a person so ignorant that he ought to keep a guardian by his side continually. The books are open to the public. Every entry is public properity. No business on the face of the earth is conducted more openly and above board than is the business of the State Treasurer. Pennsylvania will be expected to fall into line with the States that be lieve in prosperity, patriotism and peace, and support McKinley. There CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 26, 1899. can be no question of the loyalty of Pennsylvania. This great state will elect Brown and Mitchell and it will prefer Barnett, the man who fought Spain and Agninaldo, to Creasy, who fights for Aguinaldo by opposing those wno gave battle to him. Rich Valley. Splendid weather these days. A good many of the Valley folks arc attending court this week. ltev. Readett and wife have returned home from visiting in Potter county. We notice, while passing by, that Frank J. Lewis has erected a new barn. The farmers are all gathering their crops with the merry plow whistles in their mouths. E. W. Taylor is booking after 11. J. Lewis' job, while the latter attends court this week. JAY. We notice the mountains are on fire near the mouth of North Creek. Persons should be careful of fire especially near bark slashings. How is the bass fishing down the river? Ask V. L., L. Lor M. C. and they will tell you to stay at home or you will come back empty handed. We hear some complain of the Valley being dead but when you get near the middle ward you will hear the big and little horns blowing in more than one direction. Lyman Lewis and wife, Frank and John Lewis were called to Gardeau one day last week, on account of the sudden illness of their sister, Mrs. Hallard. Glad to hear she's much better at this writing. Henry Goff and wife, who have been residing at Cross Forks for some time have returned to the Valley. Mr. Goff is engaged in making ties for C. 13. How ard & Company, on Cook Itun. The gunners are quite plenty in our forests at present. We noticed one of Emporium's esteemed citizens in the Valley the other day after birds—John I). Logan. He had the game when he started home. Sizerville. Editor Press:— School vacation now over. The Heading factory has put on steam and is putting out lots of stock. The shot gun is constantly heard all through this neck ofthe woods. I). Burlingame captured an opposum last week—a rare animal in these parts. Rev. Sleep s is holding a series of revi val meetings at the Sizerville school house. The beautiful weather and the golden hued foilage of woods, makes a grand picture. Mrs. 11. C. Crawford and daughter made her husband and son a visit on Saturday and Sunday last. Miss Birdie Taggart has a music class here. Her winning ways and musical talent make her a prime favorite. As the train was passing to Buffalo, yesterday, we noticed a face at the window that recalled pleasant memories of twenty years ago. Messrs. Widrnan and Norris, of the Heading Company were here looking over their interests. They are very soci able gentlemen. Master Ed. Sizer has a Wan new piano. He he wished it had been a new shot gun instead. Charley Weller says: "Dat ish de Boy of it." Conductor Earl tells U3 he has to do the night, day and Sunday act on the Hill since the hard coal trade commenced. An evidence of prosperity. Mr. B. N. Thompson and wife, of Lancaster, N. Y., arc taking their vaca tion here. Tomp'y, as he is familarly called, is an all around man in (size) as well as a good salesman —musician, chick en roaster, and story teller. OLI> KIT. Cameron.

Discovered by a Woman. Another great discovery has been made, and that too, by a lady in this country. "Disease fastened its clutches upon her and for seven years she with stood its severest tests, but her vital organs were undermined and death seemed imminent. For three months she coughed incessantly, and could not sleep. She finally discovered a way to recovery, by purchasing ot us a bottle of Dr. King's New Discovery ;for Con sumption, and was so much rqlieved on taking the first dose, that she slept all night; and with two bottles, has been absolutely cured. Her name is Mrs. Luther Lutz." Thus writes W. C. Hamnick & Co., of Shelby, N. C. Trial bottles free at L. Taggart's Drug Store. Regular size 50c and SI.OO Every bottle guaranteed.
