Kill" —rn rr~ • n r*xarjo»-^srcmicniOTß* POINTED CO.nnF.NT. Mr. Gage's latest communication to Congress utterly cuts the ground from under the feet of his critics. So far, Mr. Bryan's eastern crusade has not essentially raised the price of the white metal. The market for silver bricks is extremely sluggish nowadays. General Otis should feel most grate ful to the British Generals. Since their censors have been at work, the critics of his proceedings in the Philippines have sunk out of sight. *% In 1899, for the first time in history, the total foreign commerce of the United States passed the two million dollar line. The practical certainty that Senator Morgan, of Alabama, will bo re-elected to the Senate, shows that Alabama is pretty safe for expansion. Senator Morgan made his fight entirely on this issue and was opposed by Gov. John son, who objected to it. %* Two hundred thousand tons of steel rails are to be shipped by a single Maryland firm to Australia, and as much more is going to Japan. The United States seems to bo capturing the iron and steel trade ol the world. A dispatch from Nebraska tells of the wonderful increase in windmills in that state. It leaves some doubt how ever, whether or not the supply has decreased since Col. Bryan and his friends have left home to invade the enemy's country. Philadelphia will produce that §IOO,- 000 in good time. The country must remember that Pliiladelphians are notoriously slow. By and by, when the city has had time to learn that the convention is going to meet there, it will go down into its pockets and pro duce the needful. The War Department is preparing, under directions from Congress, a sum mary of the receipts and expenditures under military authority in the islands. Naturally the work is very difficult and very great, but Secretary Root expects to carry it through at an early date and to account for every cent expended. V It is a pity to confess it, but the mis erable fact remains that the latest Democratic attack on Secretary Gage was entirely due to the desire of Repre sentative Richardson, leader of the minority, to clear his skirts of the charge that he was not pugnacious enough. He actually made a wanton attack on the Secretary to prove his fighting abilities. The Republicans of the Rivers and Harbors Committee have decided that there shall be no bill for such improve ments this year. It is a very rare thing for this to happen in a presidential year, as the appropriations in the bill are generally considered to give a strong advantage to the party in power. The fact that the Republicans prefer to forego this advantage, rather than add to the waste of money for such work, shows that they are ruled by the high est motives. While no one will condone, in the least degree, the cowardly attempt to assassinate Senator Goebel, it is never theless true that that individual has only reaped what he sowed. His whole life has been a direct incitement to the use of force instead of law in maintain ing one's ends. Ilis recent course has set his state back fifty years on the dial of civilization. He and his friends have overridden all law and justice in their determination to seize the reins of power, and he has been overtaken by the inevitable fate of those who take the sword.

Pettigrew Compliments the American Press--Quay's Case to be Called this Week--Report of the Philippine Commission. Puerto Rican Tariff Legislation. Without intending to do so, Senator Pettigrew paid a high compliment to the American press, when he said in effect that the reason ho was making a public nuisance of himself by con tinually trying to use the Congres sional Record for the dissemination of treasonable literature, was that the in lluential papers of the country, regard • less of politics, were too patriotic to print stuff calculated to encourage the Filipinos, to continue lighting Ameri can soldiers. The Senate has been very patient with Pettigrew—much more patient than the people have been—but the limit of patience has been reached, and his talk and actions have been publicly characterized as the treason that they have been, and during the past week he has been shown that the Senate does not intend to coun tenance the uttering of treasonable language on its lloor, and the people will endorse the Senate, as strongly as they have already endorsed the Philip pine policy of the administration— which is, under the circumstances, the only patriotic American policy. Senator Chandler, Chairman of the Committee on Elections, called up the Quay case Wednesday. How soon the ease will be voted upon will depend entirely upon how many Senatoi-s de sire to speak on the question. It is ex pected that most of the speaking will be done by members of the Committee who have made a study of the legal aspects of the question at issue. It seems more certain than ever that Mr. Quay will be seated. Ex-Gov. Lowry, of Minn., who is now in Washington, says there is no question of the best element in that, regardless of political lines, endorsing the Philippine policy of President Mc- Kinley, and that if the Democrats make anti-imperialism their war cry, as he believes they will, the state will give President McKinley a phenominal majority. Gen. Warfield, a prominent Cali fornian, now visiting Washington, says that nine-tenths of the people of that state favor the permanent retention of the Philippines, and that when peace has been restored on the islands, and we begin to realize the possibilities of trade with the Orient, San Francisco will rival New York as a seaport. The first volume of the report of the Philippine Commission, consisting of a book of 264 pages, is now in the hands of Senators and Representatives. It is one of the most comprehensive reports ever sent to Congress, and when the second volume is printed, which it will be inside of two or three weeks, there is scarcely a question concerning the Philippines that could be asked that a full and satisfactory answer cannot be found to in the report. The form of government recommended for the islands is that of a territory, modified to meet existing conditions, which will give the islanders control of ail their home afliairs. President McKinley in tends to send a new civil commission to the Philippines, with authority to organize local civil governments, as he can get the men he wants for commis sioners. The bill reported by the House Ways and Means Committee, providing a duty equivalent to twenty-five per cent, of the duty paid by foreign pro ducts on Puerto Rican products, is the result of a compromise between those who favored giving the island the samo trade privileges as those enjoyed by the citizens of our states, and those who favored a smaller reduction of ex isting duties, and as such, it will prob ably be accepted and become a law. The Senate Puerto Rican Committee has ordered a similar bill reported to the Senate. In agreeing upon the bill, the majority of the Ways and Means Com mittee reached the conclusion that Puerto Rico is not, in the meaning of the Constitution, a part of the United States, and can therefore be governed as a colony. President McKinley is watching the Kentucky mix-up with interest, as most other men in Washington are. Ho believes in common with nearly everybody else, that Taylor was elected governor, and that he has no chance of fair treatment before the state courts, but he doesn't believe it to bo the busi. ness of the Federal government to interfere with such matters, except upon the request of the regular state authorities. With the legislature in session, it alone possesses authority to make that request, in the opinion of President McKinley and his advisers, and unless it makes it there is no probability of any Federal interference in any shape in Kentucky. In the eyes of the President, this isn't a case of politics, but of law, and the strict letter of the law will be followed by the Federal government. The death of Goebel has not changed the situation at the Washington end a particle. Geo. Barbc, Mcndota, Va., says, • Nothing did lue so much i:ood as Kodol Dyspepsia Cure. One dosi' relieved me, a lew bottles cured me.' It digests what you eat and always euros dyspepsia. It. C. I lodson. Sly CAMERON COUNTY PRKSS, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 1900. ALL SORTS.
