talent. Pap Berfield held the power of
authority. Wm. Michaels was fined the

battle between our goat and his blind calf.

the boys, after which the club adjourned
to initiate the landlord.
FIDE.
Bobbed the Grave.
A startling incident, of which Mr.
John Oliver, of Philadelphia, was the
subject, is narrted by him as follows: "I
was in a most dreadful condition. My
skin was almost yellow, eyes sunken,
tongue coated, pain continually in back
and sides, no appetite—gradually growing
weaker day by day. Three physicians
had given me up. Fortunately, a friend
advised trying Electric Bitters, and to
my great joy and surprise, the first bottle
made a decided improvement. I con
tinued their use for three weeks and am
now a well man. I know they saved
my live and robbed the grave of another
victim." No one should fail to try
them. Only 51) cents, guaranteed, at L.
Taggart's drug store.
Young Senators.
Washington corr. New York Mail.
The Congressional Directory discloses
the fact that Senator Beveridge of India
na is not the youngest man in the Sen
ate, as has been claimed, for, according to
his biography, which by the way, is the
briefest in the book, he was born in 18(12,
and, is therefore, 37 years old. Senator
Butler, the Populist from North Carolina,
is one year yonger, having been born in
18GI5. Senator Penrose of Pennsylva
nia and McLaurin of South Carolina, are
only two years older than Senator Bever
idge and there are several other Senators
within a few years of the age of the In
diana man. There have been younger
men in the Senate than either Mr. Bevcr
idtre or Mr. Butler. Henry Clay wan
only 30 years old when he entered the
Senate, while Andrew Jackson was only
| 31. Alexander Hamilton was 32 when he
j was appointed Secretary of the Treasury,
j Thomas Jefferson was only 32 when he
wrote the Declaration of Independence.
CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY i, 1900.
FORFXAST OF THE WEEK AT THE
NATION'S CAPITOL.
The ('resident and the Philippines
The Republican Congressional
Committee to Reorganize.
Ship Subsidies.
President McKinley will, it is ex
pected, shortly issue a proclamation
offering au unconditional pardon to
such of the Philippine rebels, as sur
render before a given date, and giving
notice that all found with arms in their
hands after that date, will be considered
brigands and outlaws and will be
treated as such. This may cause a few
spasms among the "aunties," but it is
the proper course to pursue. There is
no longer even an apology for a Fili
pino government, and no organized
force of any size anywhere, and the
peaceably inclined inhabitants are en
titled to the protection of this govern
ment, which can only be made effectual
by breaking up the small roaming band
of rebels, living by depredation.
The first step in this year's Con
gressional campaign will be taken this
week, when the Republicans of the
House and Senate will hold a joint
caucus for the purpose of reorganizing
the Congressional campaign com
mittee.
The House disposed of the Roberts
case last week, by shutting him out,
but the House Committee on mileage
still has to decide whether he is en
titled to mileage. Chairman Barham
has been trying to get at the legal
status of the matter. He talked with
Attorney General Griggs about it and
was referred to Comptroller Tracewell,
of the Treasury, who would have to
pass on the account, if Roberts should
be allowed mileage. The Comptroller
said he would be guided by the action
of the Committee on Mileage. Speak
ing of the matter, Mr. Barham said:
"Personally I should like to pay Mr.
Roberts the amount of his mileage.
He came here expecting to receive not
only his salary, but the perquisites that
belong to the office of Representative;
but I have examined the law very
caretully and I do not see how we
should be justified in paying him.
That is my personal opinion. The
Committee may decide otherwise."
Democrats are very fond of talking
about muzzling men, but they seem to
overlook the recent muzzling of Mr.
Bryan. Mr. Bryan was muzzled by the
New York Democratic Club, which is
another name for Tammany, when he
was dined without being allowed to
speak, and he was again muzzled by
the Gridiron Club, of Washington,
which had him as one of its guests at a
dinner, given Saturday night, where
he was free to speak, but with the
knowledge that an inviolable rule of
the club prohibits the publication of
speeches made by its guests. It looks
as though Mr. Bryan really enjoyed
being muzzled; and it is certain that
the Democratic party would be better
off in the end if he were permanently
muzzled, as it is clear to close observers
that he is driving old Democrats into
the Republican ranks every day by his
moss-back utterances, which show an j
utter inability to read the signs of the
times.
The U. S. Government is confident of
its ability to protect its interests and
those of all its citizens under any and
all circumstances; therefore, it would
accept no invitation from any other
government or governments to become
a party to negotiations, having in view
a definition of the right of neutrals and
an agreement on what shall constitute
contraband of war. These things are
already sufficiently defined by interna
tional law and precedent to enable any
government which dares to stand up
for its rights, to maintain them. Our
representatives at the Peace Confer
ence, at The Hague, last year, proposed
that all private property at sea should,
in time of war, be respected, but the
conference declined to agree to that
proposal, and that ended the matter.
A report to the Department of State
from T. J. Albert, U. S. Consul at
Brunswick, Germany, is devoted to the
remarkable increase of ship-building in
Germany, which has become second to
Great Britain in ocean transportation,
and which has obtained this enviable
position in the short period of ten
years. How this jump forward in a
great industry was brought about, is
told in a single sentence, which is the
strongest sort of argument in favor of
the passage of the bill now pending
before Congress, providing for the in
crease of our own merchant marine, by
a system of Federal aid to ship-building:
"This rapid development of ship-build
ing in Germany is to be attributed to
the encouragement given by the gov
ernment to the ship-building interests
through liberal subventions allowed
the different commercial companies."
An Editor's Life Saved by Chambelain's
Cough .Remedy.
During the early part of October,
18!)G, I contracted a bad cold which
settled on my lungs and was neglected
until I feared that consumption had ap
j peared in an incipient state.l was con
| stantly couching and trying to expel
I something which 1 could not. I became
j alarmed and after giving the local doctor
