Fewer Mail Robberies. There has been a decrease in the number of post offices robbed and mail trains and stages held up during the past year as compared with the pre vious year. In 1899 the number of post offices robbed was 1.481; the num ber of mail trains and stages robbed, 34. During the previous year 1.547 post offices were robbed and 4- mail trains and stages held up. The number of post offices burned during the last year, however, has been greater than dur ing the previous year. The record for 1899 was 503, and for 1898 544. Four hundred and eighty-eight pouches were stolen last year, against 407 the year previous. There has not been a robbery of a single mail messenger during the year. That there has been a decrease in the number of robberies of post offi ces, mail trains and stages and mail messengers, notwithstanding the grad ual development of the service, is cred itable to the efficiency of the secret service force and indicates that the system of standing rewards now of fered is a potent factor in deterring the more desperate class of criminals from depredations upon the property orf 4 ,he post office department. A few months ago a young farmer of giant build lost a considerable sum of money playing slot machines here, says a Parkersburg (W. Ya.) corre spondent of the Cincinnati Commercial Tribune. He was lost sight of until re cently, when every time he came to town with a load of produce he would work otf a number of slugs-upon every machine he touched. The slugs were peculiar to themselves, having a don key stamped upon each, lie is a mus cular fellow, roughly dressed, with his trousers tucked into his boots, and a heavy blacksnake whip under his arm. Previous to working 1 the slug racket the nan went broke every time he visited the city. Xow lie carries mone\ back with him. Those who operate the ma chines protest against his play, but tfcat appears to have no effect. "Boun cers" thus far have not had the courage tp try their methods. "The Fiend," as lie is called, owned up to playing 140 fclugs on last week's trip. The closing exercises of the Literary club were highly successful, says the Whitsett (Cia.) Courier. Perfect order was preserved without the attendance of the town marshal, whose children were laid up with measles, from which we sincerely hope they will recover soon. There was high tumbling by a stranded circus performer, a wrestling match in which nobody was hurt, after which a delightful hot supper was served. It was said that the sheriff over ate himself and had fits, but the report is false, for we were personally present until daylight, and we positively assert that all went as merry as a marriage bell. The Buffalo says that when (ien. Benjamin F. Tracy was in I'aris last summer he engaged in a dis cussion with another American on Markham's much talked of poem, "The Man with the lloe." An Knglishman who was listening to the argument asked who the man with the hoe was. "The Alan with the Hoe?' repeated the general; "why, that is the newspaper man." Somebody had to hammer a treatise on printing presses into the Englishman's head before he saw the point. Six years ago a friend of Charles Brandt, of St. Louis, to show his friend ship, gave hint a great slap on the back. Brandt was well educated, clever and prosperous then. Xow, says the Post-Dispatch, he has locomotor ataxia, is subject to attacks of paralysis, and, in the expectation that he has not long to live, he has been removed to the Belleville poorhouse. The back shipper and the umbrella fiend, who carries the deadly device under his arm, should be putin a balloon without a valve and turned loose in a cyclone. A man was arrested in Xew York city the other day, and his shoes were found to be full of pearls. We have often heard of Americans getting th<-Ir boots full of snakes, but this is the first time we remember to have made the long-distance acquaintance of a statesman with his shoes full of pearls. Usually they are ieft at a pawnshop for safekeeping. THINGS THAT ARE SETTLED. The I/Otr Election* Ilrriilril Some Political l'olnln for 1000. The recent elections were the elec tions of 1900 in miniature. That was why they were watched with such keen and almost feverish interest by states men of every degree. The issues of next' year met on what was more than a skirmish line, for it was really a test battle and one fought, with determina tion on both sides. The principal issue was not that of the recent war, for all parties were committed to that war and all parties have claimed without dispute their share in the glory of its wonderful success. The issue was whether or not the results of the war should lie ac cepted, whether it should be operative or inoperative, whether the disclosure and the reward of America's strength should be an episode waning as quickly as it waxed or a necessary chapter in a continued story and vitally connected with what preceded and what shall follow. This issue has been given popularly the name of expansion. Whether or not that name is expressive depends upon the understanding of it. There is the expansion of obesity, and 1 there is the. expansion of growth. The expansion for which the republican party and the national administration are contending earnestly and faithfully is an expan sion that means permission to America to round out its framework and to wear garments that fit. It is a protest against arrested development. Every extension of the territory of the I'nited States lias been resisted by those of the same class as the anti-ex pansionists of to-day. But the resist ance has been futile and has never been boasted by the descendants of those who used their brooms to sweep back the tide of progress. The fiber of the American poeple is not so flaccid as the timorous souls would have us believe. Those whose ancestors crossed the sea and converted a land from savagery to liberty are not afraid themselves to cross the sea. The elections say that Americans do rot regard it as a crime or a blunder to grow to the stature which their birth right indicates. The question of expan sion is settled for 1900. The hands of that clock do not move backward. Bryan, who does the thinking and talking for the democratic party, de cided to present as an issue this fall his old Chicago platform money plank as well as that of expansion. The people made an election bonfire of both planks. The question of honest money, decided in 1800. was not affected by the elec tions. The people have not changed their minds about it. The same story will be told in 1900. Honesty in finan cial policy has vindicated itself, as hon esty always does, by substantial pros perity. The very enlargement of vi sion which war has given us tends to a dignity which is not consistent with the cheap money of cheap peoples. The gold: standard stood, and it will stand in 1900. Another thing settled is the unity as well as liberty of the American nation. A most offensive characteristic of the opposition to national expansion is that it is not content with opposing by such arguments as may be presented the ef forts of the president to perform his duty in accordance with the action of congress in beginning the war and rat ifying the treaty which determined the results of war. Many of those who op posed the national course carry their opposition to the extent of giving aid and comfort 1o the enemy. This is dis loyalty; it is treason. Such treason the people declared shall continue to be odious. The party which has always opposed American enterprise, in public audi in private affairs, opposes the develop ment of industry to-day. Bryan calls it opposition to trusts; that is, to all trusts but the silver trust and the Bry an political trust. The republican par ty, while preventing injurious monopo ly. is not engaged in a raid on the fruits of industry. The Bryan objection to the rights of energy to enjoy the prod uct of ils own labors was overruled by the people. If an appeal be taken to 1900 the ruling will be sustained. The cutting off of tall men's heads that short men may wear them might do for a Paris commune, but not for an American democracy. The right to peaceably assemble goods, when the product of one's own toil and not an infringement upon a neighbor's oppor tunity, is a right vindicated by 1809 and which cannot be overturned in 1900. Another thing settled by the elec tions is Bryan. It is settled that he shall continue as an itinerant, with more or less success as a book agent, and that William McKinley shall have another term in the white house. This decision will be recorded next year. But it was settled by the fall elections. The American people have not 'ost their backbone.—Troy Times. II r.vmi"s Predion men t. What will William Jennings Bryan do now? The executive committee of the democratic national committee, which met in the city of Chicago a few days ago, virtually shelved his orig inal and pet issue of free coinage of silver at a ratio of sixteen to one, and divided that opposition to trusts, anti imperialism and anti-militarism shall be the predominant issues of the next, democratic campaign. Tt seems to have been the unanimous opinion of the com mitteemen that in the face of the com plete restoration of prosperity through out the country, the revival of the cal amity how ls of 1890 and the proffer of free coinage as a remedy for the pic tured evils would be suicidal, and that the only hope of the democracy is in the remote possibility that it might be able to frighten a majority of the people of the I'nited States with the political bug aboos mentioned above. —Albany Jour nal. CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 14, 1899. GETTING READY FOR 190 a Tlx- Drmopmllt' I'ronrnnime for the Great I'erforma nee Xcxt V I'D r. The reaffirmation of the Chicago plat form of 1890 by the democratic national committee in its session at Chicago was, of course, inevitable. That platform made a new departure for the demo cratic party, and by linking with il the populists brought to it at the election of 1890 about 1,000,000 more votes than were cast for (Jrover Cleveland in 1892. Accordingly, unless the Chicago plat form is reaffirmed iu 1900, a split in that combination and a dangerous cool ing- of democratic enthusiasm through out- the union are inevitable. The gold sentiment of the party, moreover, has been frightened inlo silence or has per manently estranged itself from latter day democracy. With the Chicago plat form, of course, logically will fro the renomination of Mr. Bryan, probably without a single opposing delegation in the national convention. Air. Sulzer guarantees a Bryan delegation from New York, and he takes no risk in doing it. New Knor land also will lie solidly for the renomi nation of the candidate of 189G. It is evident, however, that an at tempt will be made to give paramount importance in the campaign to other issues than sixteen to one merely, though, of course, Bryan's nomination will force that, issue to the front in every intelligent mind. Trusts and "imperialism" are to be these new is sues if the plan of the party engineers \wrks. But there can be 110 trust is sue between the two parties; they ivill not differ on the question; and "impe rialism" is a fiction whose working power will be destroyed long before the election. Mere opposition to the ex pansion of the national power, com merce and domain would harm democ racy at any time, and more especially in the year 1900, when all thoughts and aspirations will be turned to the won derful American development which is to mark the next century. It will be a bad time at which to attempt to set back the clock of American progress. The democratic party, with Bryan and the Chicago platform 011 its back, will be forced to appear again ar» the representative of silver and dishonor and of the rest of the radicalism it put out in 1890. Patriotism and prosperity, national pridle and common sense will be against it. The democratic committee is report ed as favoring the holding of its na tional convention much earlier than that of the republicans, and even 0 date as early as some time in March is sug gested. This would be reversing the usual order, to what valuable end is not conceivable, unless it is expected that the alarm caused to business might tend to arrest the progress of the pros perity which now discourage? all dem ocratic hopes. It would act the other way, however, by increasing the deter mination of the prosperous people to prevent the blight of possible democrat ic triumph at the election. The sooner the convention meets the sooner it will be made manifest to everybody that the democratic party is lightingagiinst tliß continuance of a period of national prosperity unexampled in American history.—X.

LBunt* —l'U!y«»c* en t.lrlx Injured and One Killed. Beading, Pa., Dec. 8. — One of the most appalling fires that has ever vis ited this city occurred Thursday when the extensive hosiery mill of the Nolde <£• llorst Co. took fire, destroying the plant, causing the death of one person and injuring about 00 other employes of the company. Of the 57 persons who were injured, .'lO are seriously hurt. Miss Louisa ( lay, aged 48 years, was killed. The hosiery building was a large four-story structure and nearly 000 persons were employed, most of them toeing women and girls. The fire was discovered about 11 o'clock and in a few minutes the girls were panic stricken. They made a dash for the fire escape and the, stairs, but found the latter means of escape could not carry all of them down at ihe same time. Several hundred of the girls then made a rush for the windows and appealed to those iu the street to save them. Ladders were brought into use, and many girls were taken from the burning building safely. Most of them, however, jumped and were seri ously injured. for a few minutes from every window on the second and third floors girls leaped one after an other. Some lodged in the arms of those below, but many struck the ground. They were picked up and rap idly removed to hospitals or their homes. Many of the girls who escaped by the stirwavs and fire escapes were badly burned, but none of tliem were, it is believed, seriously injured. The fire traveled with great rapidity, ow ing to the inflammable stock in the building. My those who saw the progress of the fire it is considered miraculous that there was such a small hiss of life. There is much criti cism among the employes because of the fact that the screens in the win dows, except those at the fire scapes were securely nailed to the window sills. The girls had to break the screens before they could get out to leap to the ground. Some of the em ployes say the doors were locked, as a rule, after the employes were in the building. The fire was caused by the explosion of gasoline in the singing room. The loss is estimated at about $275,000, on which there is an insurance of $150,- 000. GIVES AWAY A FORTUNE.

Maysville, Ky., Dec. 7.—Hichanl Coleman (colored), the murderer of Mrs. James Lashbrook, wife of his employer, expiated his crime yester day at the. hands of a mob consisting of thousands of citizens, by burning at the stake after suffering torture be yond description. The dreadful spec tacle occurred on the cricket grounds 011 the outskirts of this city. Just two months ago liiehard Cole man, the trusted employe of Farmer James Lashbrook, ill a manner peculi arly atrocious murdered the woman who had been his benefactor. After being arrested the officers took him to Covington for safe keeping. He was indicted for the murder. Shortly after his incarceration at Covington he made a complete confession of his crime to the jailor. The trial was set for yesterday. Sheriff' Perrine determined to leave Covington by the train on the Chesa peake & Ohio which started at 7:30 Wednesday morning. Coleman had been told Tuesday night to prepare to return to the scene of his crime, lb was stricken with fear and beggeil to be permitted to remain in Covington until alter his trial. 'ilie prisoner with his escort arrived here at 10:20 o'clock. As the train puffed into the station the mob formed on both sides in two long crowds. The sheriff and his assistants were armed and there was some resistance us the leaders of the mob jostled against them and demands were ut tered from the outer fringes of the crowd for the prisoner. Sheriff Per rine started to walk from the car. A step behind followed the officers with Coleman in their midst, seeking to conceal himself behind his protectors. Hundreds of stones were thrown and revolvers and ritles were freely dis played. The prisoner was frequently struck and he presented a frightful appearance, the blood streaming from wounds on his face and head. At the courthouse a mob of over 2,000 men, headed by James Lash brook, the husband, had been hastily formed. There was a brief struggle in which weapons were drawn by the officers and then the sheriff and his assistants were overcome and the pris oner was pulled from their midst h t v the leaders of the mob. L'p through the central portion of the town the man was taken, the prisoner being dragged along with the aid of ropes loosely attached to his body. lie was the target again of hundreds of mis siles and several times he sunk half unconscious to the ground while the crowd pressed forward, striking at him with clubs, sticks and whips until his head and body were scarcely rec ognizable. The place of execution had been selected weeks ago. The prisoner was dragged to a sapling and strapped against the tree, facing the husband of the victim. Large quantities of dry brush and larger bits of wood were piled around him while he was praying for speedy death. James Lashbrook, the husband of the victim, applied the first match to the brush wood. A brothel- of the victim struck the second match. As the flames arose Coleman made Vain efforts to withdraw his hands from the lire and liis eyes rolled in a frenzy of suffering. The ropes secur ing him to the tree were bound and iiis body finally fell forward on the burning pile. Even then, although it was not certain whether he was living or dead, the vengeful purpose of the crowd led them to use rails to push his body back into the flames. While his voice could be heard, he beggeo for a drink of water, his tongue protruding aim his eyeballs fairly starting from his head. At the end of three hours the body was prac tically cremated. During all that time members of the family of .Mrs. Lashbrook had remained to keep the body in position where it would con tinue to burn. 11l ail the thousands who constitut ed the mob there was not u single ef fort. to conceal identity. No man wore a mask. All the leaders of the mob are well known and there are hundreds of witnesses who can testify to their participation in the tragedy. Strangled to Heath in lee.

With the close oP the present year Mr. David C. Cook, of Chicago, will celebrate his tirst quarter-centennial as editor and publisher of Sunday school literature. Starting twenty-five years ago, without reputation or assur ance of support, he has become one of the most widely and favorably known publishers in this line. Beginning in 1875 with two small publications, his periodicals have grown in number and favor until there are few schools in this country that do not find it to their interest to use some of his pure and helpful publications, while many in distant lands pay tribute to their mer its. The past quarter of a century has witnessed many changes among Sunday-school publishers, and much less time than this has sufficed forsome to outlive their usefulness. On thecon trary, Mr. Cook is preparing to cele brate the beginning of anot her quarter century with additional improvements and new publications. Among these may be mentioned the New Century Sunday School Teacher's Monthly, a large and thoroughly up-to-date mag azine for superintendents and teachers, the first issue of which will appear in December. Among the most remark able of his publications is the Young People's Weekly, which has attained a circulation of nearly a quarter of a million, being a successful attempt to furnish a high grade of religious story reading for boys and girls. To avoid the "goody-goody" story of the Sun day-school, such as we remember in our childhood days, and furnish some thing natural, interesting and en nobling, has been its aim, and we are not at all surprised at its popularity. The restraining influence of the Christian home and the Sunday-school on our growing community of young people, some of us may not appreciate as we should—perhaps because these sometimes fail to restrain. This paper should be a most welcome accessory in this work, and one which all should appreciate. Boys and girls will read, and the story book and paper are then first choice. There seems a plentiful supply of religious papers for older people, but this is the first successful atttempt to furnish anon-sectarian re ligious story paper for young people. The paper is profusely illustrated, beautifully printed, and contains as much or more reading matter than the most expensive of secular young peo ple's story papers. The price, seventy live cents per year, should bring it within the reach of every home. Mr. Cook is now making a special effort to give the paper a wider circulation, and all who send seventy-five cents for a year's subscription before Jan. Ist will receive a. beautiful premium pic ture entitled "The Soul's Awakening." It is exactly the same size (13x18 inches) and style as those on sale at art stores for sl. Orders should be ad dressed to David ('. Cook Publishing Co.. 3G Washington St.. Chicago. Probably no man living has done so much to improve and cheapen Sunday school literature as has Mr. David C. Cook. Through his aid thousands of schools have been encouraged, im proved and made self-sustaining. Mr. Cook is yet a comparatively young man, and it does not appear at all improbable that his field of usefulness may extend over yet another quarter-century.
