11. W. PENNISON, of Vermont, who
has been the legal adviser of the
Japanese governmen t for 15 years, is
going to visit his old home for the first
time since he began his services in
Japan. The emperor of Japan has
made him a number of costly pres
ents as a token of regard.
THE Chinese, as most people know,
believe in a future existence, but in
that future state they are by no means
certain whether all one's wants are
provided for, consequently they have a
way of their own of consigning earth

and relatives in th» other world.
IT is said to be the unwritten rule of
Boer warfare to hill the enemy'? offi
cers. For this purpose the Boer com
mander generally selects six of his best
marksmen and instructs them to shoot
simultaneously at the particular officer
in view, and they would rather kill a
general than a sergeant any day.
Their idea is to leave the foe leader
less.
IT is now possible to telegraph from
San Francisco to the Klondike; a Ca
nadian government line has been
strung from Heimett to Dawson City.
As the line connects with Skaguay at
Bennett, electrical communication has
also been established between the
A.aska ports and the Klondike, which
will be a decided convenience to terri
torial trade.
STATISTICS just completed by the in
come tax ccmrninsioners of Great Brit

population of 12,500,000 more than 10,-
000,(100 earn less than §B6O a year. The
income tax is collected at the rate of
16 cents on each S5 above SHOO, and the
total tax, which last year amounted to
nearly $100,000,000, was contributed by
not more than 'J. 000.000 people.
EMPEROR WILI-IAM, of Germany, will
have a stable for his horses which will
cost 5J,000.000. Its length along the
Spree river will be three "short

room for 270 horses, room for 3<>o vehi

the stable, and it will be finer than
that of any other reigning monarch.
THE French war office is rejoicing
over a new civilizing influence whicn
may outdo even the English dumdum
bullet. It is a rifle invented by a C'apt.

proven how deadly a weapon it is. At
2,000 yards the bullet went clean
through a horse placed obliquely to
the line of tire, the bones in the track

IN Hillsdale. Mich., the sidewalks
are all in control of the city; are built
by the city itself by the day labor plan;
are uniform in size and construction,
and are paid for by property owners
upon a uniform scale. The city is put

Cement is now used altogether in this
town, and the present ordinance has
been in force for three years.
SENATOR HOAR, of Massachusetts,
though not a stingy man, is none the
less a careful one. He always buys six
street car tickets at a time in Wash
ington, thus being able to get one ride
for 4 1-6 cents. He once rebuked a
none too properous friend for not do
ing so. "1 am comfortably off." he
said, "but I never felt I could afford to
pay five cents for a ride when 1 could
get six for a quarter.
OWNERS of Dundee (Scotland) jute

DISPATCHES received from Darm

upon his life in Japan. On that occa

DEMOCRACY IN 1899.
The Party of Dliconlrnt Remains
Practically tlie Same n*
lu IXIMS.
The democratic party is presenting it
self for popular approval in three states
especially, where the national party or
ganization is really on trial before the
country, with the state machines and
their candidates for evidence, lias the
party changed in any respect since it
nominated liryan at Chicago in IS9C?
llow is this question answered by the
democratic state conventions of Massa
chusetts, Kentucky and Ohio?
Three years ago the leadership of the
democratic party was assumed by its
most unworthy and ignorant elements.
We have nothing to say touching Mr.
Bryan's honesty. We are quite willing
to admit his purity of purpose, but puri
ty of purpose coupled with ignorance
and foliy is often more dangerous to the
body politic than open vice, even when
such vice is accompanied or partly dis
guised by intelligence. But while it
may be that Mr. Bryan and some of the
free coinage advocates are honest and
sincere, the country is justified in its
doubts as to the character of Altgeld,
Croker, (ieorge Fred Williams, Tillman
and others of that kind, some of whom
are in politics for votes and some for
dollars. It is not necessary togo into
minute detail in our examination of the
meaning of democracy in 189(5. The
country knows what Bryan and his par
ty stood for, and what would have hap
pened if it had won the victory.
In the first place, the panic from
which the country had been suffering
for four years would have reached an
acute stage, and the recovery and pros
perity which we have since experienced
would have been delayed. If could not
have been wholly prevented, for nature
would have worked its provident will,
and would have brought forth the
abundant erops of the last two years,
but it would never have become so
great as it is to-day. Ituin, however,
would have fallen sharply and swiftly
upon those who had withstood the
troubles of 1893, 1594 and 1895, imme
diately following the announcement of
the election of Bryan and of a Bryanite
house of representatives. If, unde
terred by the panic and distress follow
ing the election, the l.ryanites had kept
to the course marked out in their plat
form, we should have had a free coin
age sixteen to one law enacted in the
summer of 1897, for, of course, an extra
session would have been called for that
1 jrpose. Whether or not we should
have had a war with Spain, who can
tell? Bryan might have been against
it, although he started for it as a
colonel, and the democrats are fond of
saying that they forced the republican
administration and majority in con
gress to the task of making Cuba free,
l'opular opinion and rage, however,
would probably in the end have brought
on the conflict, lu that event our rev
enues would have been 00 cents on the
dollar and our expenditures the full
dollar. In other words, our purchases
abroad and at home would have taken
at least twice as much revenue as they
actually do require. Our money would
have been Mexieani/.ed, and we would
have had a practical experience of
South American public finance. Our
bonds would have been below par and
our borrowing capacity crippled. It is
idle to speculate as to what means
would have been adopted to raise the
necessary funds for carrying 011 the war
and to meet the expenses incidental to
it. Hut it may be safely asserted that
we should have been without funds for
a long time, owing to the variety of eco
nomic opinions which disturb the minds
of the Bryanites, and to the pervcrse
ness with which many of them con
tinue to cling to the income tax as a
fetich, notwithstanding the decision of
the supreme court that such a tax is un
constitutional. Doubtless we should
have been in great straits with a cheap
dollar and a lack of necessary income.
Perhaps we should not yet have seen
the seizure of the railroad, teleprapfe
and telephone lines by the general gov
ernment, or the establishment of public
warehouses for grain on which the gov
ernment had lent money. We would,
however, have seen the beginning of the
degradation of the supreme court, and
we would have had a department of
justice bent 011 enforcing the will of
the executive against the opinions and
consciences of the judges. This is, in
effect, the meaning of democracy as it
was written in the platform of 1890.
Has the democratic party changed
since 1890? In Kentucky both factions
of the party are for free silver at six
teen to one; the John Young Brown
faction is opposed to Gocbel because
the regular candidate obtained his nom
ination by force and fraud. It has been
the practice in Massachusetts to elect
delegates to the national convention in
the several congressional districts anil
the four delegates at large in a state
convention called for the purpose, Hut
George Fred Williams, fearing that if
this practice were adhered to this year
the democracy of Massachusetts would
decide against himself and Bryan, per
formed a coup de politique and had all
the delegates chosen at the recent state
convention. In Ohio a man has been
nominated for governor who has al
ways frankly courted the friendship
and support of the baser elements of
his party.
The men who controlled these three
state conventions will do anything for
place and power. Their most admirable
possession is the sixteen to one plank.
That has the ring of foolish and igno
rant sincerity. The rest of their plat
forms is nothing but bait for gudgeons.
What they say about imperialism and
the war in the Philippines does not ex
press any convictions or imply any
promise. Bryan might bring the troops
out of the Philippines without regard
to the effect on them or on the Filipinos,
but there are many of his followers
who would not, and some who believe
that the country has assumed some
dirties in that quarter of the globe.
Whatever they might do in this respect
CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1»99-
would be entirely dictated by policy and
not at all by principle. All that is really
clear from the actions and utterances
of these three conventions is that the
party has not changed in the three
years that have elapsed since the last
presidential election. It is still for the
debasement not only of the currency,
but of the political and social life of
the country. It is still not only the
party of the discontented, of those who
would turn society upside down, but of
the political freebooters of Tammany
llall, whose lessons and influence have
at last dominated in the three states
whose conventions and candidates we
have been considering. It must be dif
ficult for self-respecting eitizens.vv lietli
er they have hitherto been democrat#
or republicans, to.associate themselves
with this kind of democracy. —Harper's
Weekly.
THE GROWING TREASURY.
A Trlnmph In Financiering to the
Credit of Republican l.e«-
(relation.
From the present indications the gov
ernment's receipts will more than meet
its expenditures in the current fiscal
year. Throughout the whole of the year
which closed last June the monthly out
go exceeded the income, except in
March, May and June, in each of which
months there was a surplus, in the
present fiscal year there has been only
one deficit thus far, tl»at for July; while
in August and September there was an
excess 011 the right side which offset the
shortage of July, and furnished about
$1,000,000 in addition. The half year
which will close on December 31, it is
now safe to predict, will put a good
sized balance on the credit side.
Here is a triumph in governmental
financiering for which the republican
party deserves high credit. At the out
set the Dingley law, which was passed
in 1897, did not quite meet expenditures.
The inrush of imports in the fouror live
months in which the law was pending
reduced the normal importations of the
first seven or eight months of the oper
ation of that act, and the pending and
the actual war with Spain also had an
adverse influence. Then, too, the gov
ernment's expenditures made a sharp
and material advance even before the
war started, and, of course, even though
the Spanish end of the conflict is over,
the level of outgo yet remains far above
the average of the years immediately
preceding 1898. Yet the war revenue
act, supplementing the Dingley law,
arc now providing a sufficient fund to
meet all the outlay of the government.
Unless there shall be lavish appropria
tions for other than immediately urgent
purposes a good surplus is reasonably
certain in the fiscal year which closes
next .June, while the chances, of course,
are that the balance shectwill be even
more favorable in the next 12 months,
unless some of the taxes are dropped in
the interval, which is not likely. The
great improvement which has taken
place in the government's finances as a
result of republican legislation will un
doubtedly make tens of thousands of
votes for the party in the election of
1900. —St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

THE PRECIOUS METALS.
Tin- Director of flie Jll.it VurniahFi
Intorentini; Data a« lo (lie Produc
tion of 4-ol.t and Silver.
Washington, Oct. 20. E. H. Roberts,
director of the mint, has made the fol
lowing report on the production of
gold and silver during the calendar
year 1898. lie says:
The production of gold in the I ui
tcd States in the calendar year 1898
was 3,118,39s line ounces, of the value
of $04,403,000. The amount of gold
produced from tpiartz mines In 1*93
was 2,500,00<) fine ounces: and from
placer mines 31*.000 fine ounces.
Tin* South Afri 'an republic produced
3.831,975 ounces, of the value of $79.-
213,9;).':; Australia produced 3,137.041
ounces, of the value of $64,800,800.
These three countries are the great
gold producers of the world their
output aggregating 1o.o»s,017 ounces,
of the value of $208,537,753. or 73 per
cent, of the product of the world.
Next comes Russia, witli $25,463,400$
Canada, $13,775,400; India, $7,781,500;
Mexico. $s 500.000. and China. 80.078,-
700, These f've aggregate 92,080 kilo
grams. valued at $01.599.000, or over
21 per cent, of the whole, leaving 0
per cent, to the remainder of the
world.
The United States still occupies sec
ond place as a silver producer, to
which it was relegated by Mexico in
1597. lit 1898 it produced 54.438,000
fine ounces of silver, with a commer
cial value of $32,118,400, against the
Mexican production of 50,738.000
ounces, with a commercial value of
$33,475,400. Together, they produce
07 per cent, of the world's product.
No other country approaches them,
Ihc nearest being Australasia, Bolivia,
and T'eru. The product of the last two
is somewhat uncertain, but none of the
three exceeds 12.000,000 ounces.
The world's gold production in IS9B
was 13,904.303 ounces, of the value of
$287,428,600: an increase over the pro
duct of 1897, of 2.351,831 ounces, val
ued at $48010.600. Since 1887. when
about $100,000,000 were produced, each
year has shown an increase over the
preceding one. There is no reason,
says the report, to expect any cessa
tion of this steady annual increase for
some years to come. The Transvaal
lias not nearly reached its limit; Aus
tralia— particularly West Australia is
not yet half developed; Alaska and the
Yukon have only fairly begun to pro
duce, while the recent steady in
creases in Colorado and."flier western
states, show no signs or abating.
The world's consumption of the
precious metals in the arts and manu
factures during the year was, in new
gold. 97.804 kilograms, of a value of
$05,000,000; and in new silver, 1.005.289
kilograms, of a coining value of $44,-
273.000 and a commercial value of $20,-
200,000.

Atlanta, Gu.. Oct. 20.—The Georgia

stricting the work of the public

If education in text books caused a
decrease of crime, he argued, that
would be sufficient reason for impos
ing even heavier burdens, lint lie point
ed out that while education litis
decreased illiteracy among the ne

Gov. Candler devoted several para
graphs of his message to the twin sub
jects of crime and mob violence. lie
referred in general terms to the
crimes in different sections of the
state, taking the position that the
unusual amount of crime by lawless
negroes and the consequent, unprece
dented amount of mob violence can be
laid at the door of intermeddling fa
natics and fools who do not know
anything of the situation in the south,
nor the real relations of the people of
the two races. lie believes that al
most, if not all, of these criminal acts
on the part of the lawless negroes can
be traced to the people whose utter
ances, in their newspapers and
through incendiary letters sent to the
negroes in the south, have greatly ag
gravated a situation which they pro
fess to deplore.

"Seldom lias this nation had greater

PERISHED IN THE SNOW.
Nine Victim* of Hie threat Kliz/.ard in
.Montana are l''ouud Dead on lite
Sheep ICunm'ii.
Great Falls, Mont., Oct. 20. —As a re
sult of the recent blizzard which
through Teton county, in the northern
part of this state, nine men arc known
to be dead, and of these five bodies
have been recovered. Willi one ex
ception all were sheep herders, and all
were found lying in such positions as
to indicate that they had stayed with
their flocks to the last, dying in their
attempts to save the property of their
employers.
William Graham, working for the
Cascade I and Co., was found in a cou
lee near Healy Uutte. It is evident
that he had tried hard through the
night to get bis sheep into camp, but
had not succeeded. Conscious of the
death which was impending, he re
turned to his tent about midnight and
there wrote and left a note saying he
was nearly exhausted, hilt was about
to return to the sheep, which were
drifting up the coulee. ITe was found
stretched on the snow, his lantern
about 20 feet distant. Of his two dogs,
one remained to guard the body, while
the other followed the sheep.
Norman I 'nice worked for Will
Flowree. lie remained with his sheep
until he managed to drive them into
a sheltered spot, where thev would be
safe. lllinded by the storm, he mis
took the coulee where his cabin was
built and wandered up another. Idealiz
ing his mistake too late, lie returned
back and fell less than 200 yards from
his home and safety. The searching
party found his dog stretched across
the dead body.
Matt (iregorich was found with his
nrms crossed upon his breast. His dog
had followed the slicep into camp ant!
returned with the rescue party too
late.
It is probable that the death list is
hardly begun. Flocks of sheep with
out herders have been reported from
various points in the storm district
and biter these will be traced and the
dead herders found.
HUGE STEALS.
Itundan Naval Officer# are Arretted,
lli'init I harmed Willi an Extensive
Scheme of Fraud-
Odessa. Russia, Oct. 20. —A gigantic
system of official fraud and corruption
has been unearthed at Sevastopol.
Forty-three government officials have
been arrested and will be tried by
court-martial December 2. Among
the accused are many high naval ofli.
ccrs, including the former senior port
officer. Commander Pelitsgy. several
well-known constructors, nearly every
chief engineer of the ships in llussia s
Black sea fleet, the commissary officers
and others. It is rumored that several
of the accused have committed suicide
rather than stand trial, for if found
guiltv they would be banished to Si
beria.
Vice-Admiral Tyrtoff, the Russian
naval commander in the Black sea. is
responsible for the arrests. He al
leges that the officials of the various
government departments from Sevas
topol to Nikolniev have Tor a long time
been engaged in a huge conspiracy to
