POINTED CO.nnENT.
The Kansas aspirants for the United
States Senate are all in favor of Gen.
Funston's return to the Philippines.
Possibly the Hon. Carl Schurz would
be content if we were to move out of
the Philippines and permit Germany
to move in.
The prophecy that the end of the
world might be expected next month
has not stopped Mr. Bryan's frantic
endeavor to avert his repudiation by
the voters of his own state.
The Democratic party is encouraging
and abetting assaults on our soldiers,
in the desperate hope that by contrib
uting to bring defeat to our flag, it may
gain some advantage at next month's
elections.
Mr. Bryan says that Ohio, Kentucky,
Nebraska and lowa will go Democratic
this fall. Mr. Bryan may have had
trouble with his throat, but it has not
interfered with his practice of using
his hat for a megaphone.
Nobody who is familiar with the Phil
ippines doubts that wo would turn the
islands over to anarchy and oppression,
should we follow Mr. Bryan's policy
and haul down the flag, which now
stands for equal rights for all.
As the War Department objects to
sending a leper on an army transport,
and the steamsphip companies will not
take her as a passenger, Mrs. L. M.
Todd will remain in the pest house at
San Francisco and will not go back to
Hawaii.
If the Spanish treaty was such an
awful violation of the doctrines of the
Declaration of Independence, why did
Mr. Bryan make a special trip to
Washington last winter to urge Demo
cratic Senators to vote for its confirma
tion?
***
There is no desire to establish a
military despotism in .Luzon, nor to
deprive the people of the islands of
their right to govern themselves as
soon as they can be fitted for such a
condition. At present they are no
more entitled to complete self-govern
ment than is Alaska.
Now that the administration has suc
ceeded in concluding an agreement
concerning the Alaska boundry by
which American rights are maintained
it will be in order for the flag furlers
to raise a howl that the Kluckwan
Islands were not asked their consent
to be the governed.
V
While no formal statement is likely
to be made, it is now certain that even
should a nomination for President be
tendered Admiral Dewey by both
parties, he would decline 011 the ground
that his physical condition and mental
temperament unfit him for the arduous
duties of the office.
There is authority for the statement
that at no time since the negotiations
have been in progress has the United
States given serious consideration to
the session to Canada of a single inch
of ground on the shores of Lynn Canal.
If Canada ultimately obtains a port as
an outlet for her gold fields, she will
have to pay for it.
From one-third to one-half of our
national domain was acquired by Dem
ocratic Presidents through purchase or
treaty with foreign powers; and with
out consulting the inhabitants. And
the expansion of the territory under
the American flag was as bitterly de
nounced then as it is now, and with as
little reason.
Mr. Bryan and other Democrats do a
great deal of shouting and spouting
about the Philippines, but they do not
Suggest any practical method of deal
ing with the islands. If Mr. Bryan j
were now President he could do noth- ,
ing less than repress armed insurree- I
tion, and repel attacks upon the prop- |
erty of the United States. He might j
desire to avoid it as much as Lincoln j
desired to avoid a conflict, but he j
could not do less without being false to j
his oath of office.
Almost everywhere the issue is
accepted as of national importance.
Here in Pennsylvania the cowardly
attacks upon Colonel Barnett and
the exploded sensations of Mr.
Creasy that have followed the
Democratic attempt to ignore na
tional affairs have fallen pretty flat,
says the Philadelphia Inquirer.
There is needed only a general
turnout of the voters to give the
Republican ticket an immense
majority. Massachusetts will go
Republican on national issues, and
the attempt of the Bryanites to
elect a governor in lowa will fail.
It is in Ohio, Maryland, Kentucky
and Nebraska that the light is
waging the fiercest. In all of these
States save Nebraska Governors
will be chosen. In the latter State
the highest office to be filled is
Justice of the Supreme Court, and
yet Mr. Bryan has deemed it neces
sary to make herculean efforts to
elect the Justice. Earlier in the
campaign he devoted two or more
weeks to Nebraska. Then he went
to Kentuoky to line up the faithful,
invaded Ohio, and now he is back
in Nebraska making Hying trips
through the counties and speaking
several times each day. Bryan
does not mistake the issue, nor
does he seek to evade it. He tells
his audiences that the sole issue is
the indorsement or the repudiation
of the McKinley administration,
and on that issue he lias made his
campaign as the preliminary con
test over the Presidency.
WASHINGTON LETTER.
our Regular Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON, Oct. 30th. 1899.
President McKinley's visit to
Richmond, to-morrow, to witness
the launching of the Shubrio, tlie
first government vessel ever built
in that city, will show that he has
no political object in view in mix
ing with his fellow citizens, as it
must be plain to even his most
narrow-minded critics that he has
nothing political to gain by visiting
Virginia.
There is reason to believe that
the Philippine Commission, which
met in Washington, to-day, will
prepare a preliminary report at
once, covering its investigation
from the opening of hostilities by
Aguinaldo and existing conditions
on the islands leaving the future to
be handled in a later and fuller re
port, which may take the civilian
members of the Commission back
to the islands after peace is restor
de.
Senator So well, whose military
and personal experience adds
weight to his opinion, said of the
Filipinos: "There is only one way
of dealing with the Filipinos, and
that is with powder, ball, and bay
onet. 1 learned this many years
ago, when on a cruise in that
vicinity. I had some experience
then with Philippine character that
I will never forget. The sooner
we show the leaders of the insur
rection that we are in real earnest,
the sooner the trouble will be set
tled. The President is alive to the
situation and is handling it with
skill. ' 1 nasmucli as this language
was used by the Senator just after
he had been in conference with
President McKinley, it was signi
ficant. Senator Cullom, who had
also just seen the President, said:
"The proper action for those fel
lows isjust such as we are taking—
a substantial enforcement of the
authority of the government."
Men from the far west who come
to Washington these days all tell
one story—great prosperity and
almost unanimous support of the
foreign policy of the administra
tion. For instance, Mr. C. W.
Hartley, of Boise City, Idaho,
said: "I voted for Bryan at the
last Presidential election, but I
will never do it again. I have been
studying the subject up a little
since that time. More than SO per
cent of the silver Republicans in
Idaho have decided togo back to
the Republican fold, and, unless
there is a. very perfect fusion of all
the opposing parties, Idaho is a
sure enough Republican state for
I'JOO. Anti-Expansion doesn't go
out our way. We want the islands
in the East and lots of trade for
our western cities."
That there isn't the slightest
doubt in administration circles
about our permanent retention of
the Philippines is shown by the
decision of Secretary Long to
recommend in his annual report
the construction of a number of
light draft gunboats, for use in
Philippine waters. It is practically
certain that the insurrection will
be over long before these boats are
built, but they will be needed in
Philippine waters to look after our
commerce all the time.
Post Master General Smith, who j
has just returned from a stumping I
trip in < >hio, says it is only a ques- j
lion of how large the Republican i
majority would be. His last j
speeches were made in the "western j
reserve", where democrats had been |
making all sorts of claims about ;
Republican apathy. Mr. Smith
says he found no Republican
CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1899
apathy in that section of the state;
that the Republicans there, as in
all sections of the country, had
been so busy making money that
they waited later in the campaign
than usual before giving their time
and attention to politics; that when
he left they were thoroughly arous
ed, and that there is 110 reason to
fear that the full Republican vote
will not be brought out. Mr.
Smith says that while there are
wide differences of opinion as to the
total vote Sam Jones will get. the
best posted men in the State are
absolutely certain that he will take
many more votes from McLean
than from Nash. President Mc-
Kinley's private advices from Ohio,
which are numerous and full, all
point one way—to certain Republi
can victory.
No braver man ever wore the
IT. S. uniform than Bridadier <!en
eral Guy V. Henry, of the regular
army, who was buried to-day, with
military honors, at Arlington,
where so many of his former com
rades are sleeping their last sleep.
In the Indian wars, he earned the
title of ''Fighting Guy" by his
gallantry. How gallant he was
may be judged from the fact that
in the campaign against the Sioux
Indians in 1876, lie led his regi
ment in a charge after receiving a
shot through his face which broke
his nose and destroyed the sight of
his left eye, and said after the light
had been won, to the officers who
attempted to condole with him,
while leading him from the field:
'•lt is nothing, Jack. Thjs is what
we are here for;" and again when
he pursued the Cheyennes across
the Canadian border in the dead
of winter, and gave them a humi
liating thrashing they never for
got. It was in the latter campaign
that Gen. Henry had both hands
and feet frozen, which made him a
cripple to his dying day. It is men
like Gen. Henry who have given
the American soldier the high place
he occupies in the esteem of the
entire world, and which makes him
unconquerable: and every American
should be proud of the knowledge
that we have never lacked a Henry
when there was need for his servi
ces.
Goebel of Kentucky has placed
his case in the hands of I)r. Bryan
and the latter has prescribed "more
vocal operation."
Admiral Dewey was right in line
with advance Republican thought
and sentiment when he remarked
at Boston: '' We are goi ng to keep
the Philippines." And this was
naitl in the hot-bed of anti-Imper
ialism.
The next Speaker of the House
of Representatives being quite a
singer himself, has a weakness for
music, and it does not surprise his
friends to hear that he is throwing
a few songs into his fall campaign
ing.
The remarks of Chairman .Jones
of the Democratic National Com
mittee are so sadly out of tune with
those of other Democratic leaders
that it would be well for them to
get together and devise a proper
code of signals.
There are few Democrats of
prominence who are against the
present policy of the President of
conquering the insurgents and leav
ing the future of the Islands to
Congress. This policy does not
necessarily mean Imperialism, but
it is simply applying common sense
to a plain situation.
The speeches of the President in
the west ha ve clearly indicated his
intention to recommend to Con
gress that the Philippine Islands
become the property of the Tinted
States for all time to come. He
will probably not recommend the
form of government, but leave that
matter to Congress.
When a man is getting good
wages and is able to lay by a larger
portion of his earnings than ever
before, it is hard to make him be
lieve that he is being "robbed" by
the industrial combination called
"trusts"; and for this reason it
does not surprise anyone to hear
that our Democratic brethren are
finding it difficult to make much
progress with their anti-trust agita
tion.
"The future of these new posses
sions is in the keeping of Congress,
and Congress is the servant of the
people. That they will be retained
under the benign sovereignty of
the United States, I do not permit
myself to doubt. That they will |
prove a rich and invaluable herit- j
age, I feel assured. That < '(in
gress will provide for them a gov
ernment which will bring them
blessings, which will promote their
material interests, as well as ad
vance the people in the path of
civilization and intelligence, I con
fidently believe. They will not
be governed as vassals, or serfs, or
slaves—they will be given a govern
ment of liberty, regulated by law,
honestly administered without op
pression, taxation without tyranny,
justice without bribe, education
without distinction of social condi
tions, freedom of religions wor
ship, and protection in life, liberty,
and the pursuit of happiness."—
President McKiuley to the 13tli
Minnesota Volunteers at Minnea
polis, October 12.
The suggestion that Congress
man Lentz be sent to the Philip
pines to information in support
of the Little American party is
probably made in the hope of get
ting Mr. Lentz out of Ohio during
the remainder of the campaign, as
his lurid speeches in support of
everything anarchistic and against
everything looking to good order
and prosperity are benefitting, far
more than they are injuring, the
Republican cause. Mr. Lentz,
however, is enough of a lawyer to
know that a mission intended for
the aid and comfort of the enemies
of the Government would be liable
to lead to serious results, and it is
believed that he will not seriously
consider it.
The cotton manufacturing of tin;
j country seems to have adjusted it
| self into very satisfactory shape,
I and the New England factories in
particular are no longer in need of
popocratic sympathizing* as to the
bad effect of the Dingley law upon
their industry. The menace to the
Northern mills through the opening
of new factories in the South has
disappeared, and mills both North
and South are declaring good divi
dends and giving steady employ
ment to thousands of operative at
satisfactory wages.

Here in Pennsylvania, Bryan and
Bryanism hang as a millstone
about the neck of Farmer Creasy.
They have been a stumbling block
in his battle from the beginning.
The fact that the platform, while
professing to fight the struggle on
State reform, expressly named
Bryan as the Democratic leader of
the nation, has made thousands of
sound money Democrats either in
different or opposed to any Demo
cratic victory, and Bryan's cam
paigning in Ohio and Kentucky
has resolved all doubts among that
class of Democrats against giving
a cordial support to the Democratic
ticket.
It is quite time that the Demo
cratic leaders here and elsewhere
should learn the inexorable lesson
that there can be no Democratic
victories in this State or in the
nation until Bryan and Bryanism
are eliminated from Democracy. —
