The United States department of ag riculture makes many strange excur sions in its wide- Dietary Stmly , . .. spread pursuit of m <>f Kcgroea. , „ , formation. One of these, recently reported to the secre tary of agriculture, is a dietary study of the negroes in eastern Virginia, eon ducted by 11. 1?. Frissel, principal of the Hampton institute, and Isabel Bev ier, professor of chemistry at Lake Erie college. They report that the ne groes in that section obtain their living almost entirely from the small tracts of land rented by them, paying their rent in produce, the staple crops be ing sweet potatoes, cotton and peanuts. Their diet consists of side bacon, fish from the neighboring Chesapeake bay, unbolted cornmeal and milk, though some of the families cat frogs, turtles, and snakes at certain seasons of the year. Their drinking water is obtained from shallow surface wells, which are mere holes dug in the swampy land. The exasperating feature of these studies, says the Chicago Tribune, is the discovery that these negroes, who live upon wet cornmeal, fried side ba con, boiled pork shoulder and stagnant water do not seem to be aware there are such things as microbes, and are fiendishly healthy. Every new invention excites the word-makers. A few years ago the adoption of the A\ork of (lie eleclric chair in Word-Mnltera. . , , place of the gal lows for the killing of criminals called forth the ill-formed "electrocute" and "electrocution." After Koentgen made his discovery dozens of attempts were made to construct a word from Greek root to express the process and the result; but- popular common sense discarded them all. and Roentgen's own tentative "X-rays" is all that- has a vigorous survival. And now Marconi's device for telegraphing without wires is greatly exercising those who would add to an already overloaded vocabulary. "Fleography," "undigraphy," "teleradiography," and other still worse compounds are sug gested. The fact is overlooked 1 that "telegraphy" does not signify the use of wires, and is therefore applicable to the wireless system; so that the simple "wireless telegraphy" is exactly ac curate. It is, moreover, no more cum bersome than most of the one-word substitutes proposed, and not as cum bersome as some of them. Why not let it stand ? When cowardice is described as a leading feminine attribute, somebody makes a huge mistake, asseverates the Philadelphia Times. Women do the most daring things on record —take chances which would appall a man. They may jump at the sight or mere mention of a harmless mouse, but they court death several times a year. It is one. of the traits which, makes feminine nature so puzzling. I have known wom en who were timid to a degree, under ordinary circumstances, come forth as heroines under the pressure of occa sion. A woman who shudders at the sight of a small cut from which blood oozes will often exhibit, a marvelous courage in a shocking accident. It is beautiful to think that dependence can be placed upon the sex in times of need, but I wish that a curb could also be placed upon that species of recklessness which leans us into unnecessary trouble. Women are not cowardly; they are only timid, says a man who claims to have studied carefully the attributes of the gentler sex. While they often display considerable agitation at the sight of a mouse, history abounds with instances of their courage and pres ence of mind in great emergencies. Why, during the late war with Spain w omen fact d every danger to lend aid to the wounded, and they are now go ing in large numbers to act as nurses in South Africa in spite of the dangers to be faced. In regard to plans for beautifying a town the American architect makes the striking remark that it has been shown many times that where sutiable places inviting decoration are provided in our cities, "there arc plenty of people ready to contribute money for their adorn ment." The observation covers so much important ground that it deserves care ful and permanent consideration. DISCORD OF DEMOCRACY. The Snicliinl Coumr Recommended b,v Ilrynn to lll» Party. TLe Jackson day celebrations bring out in a strong light the iliscord and demoralization which prevail in the party of which Jackson was one of the founders. Grover Cleveland, the only man the democratic party has elected president for 40 years, in a le'ter writ ten for publication on Jackson day, de clares he wishes it was to be printed at a time "when saner counsels prevailed in the party which he (Jackson) did so much' to strengthen and place upon, firmer foundations. "It seems to me," the ex-president adds, "tha*. Ihe incon sistency of unreasoning and false party leadership is impressively exhibited when the claim is made that Jacksonian democracy sanctions the degradation of the people's currene.v and a reckless disregard of the restraints of law and, order." This is the voice of one of the lights of the old democracy—of the democratic party which Jefferson and Jackson created and led, and which governed the United States, except for one or two short intervals, from 1801 to ISGI. Another prominent democrat, in a banquet at Omaha, was making an ap peal at a celebration of Jackson day for a reaffirmation of the Chicago platform of 1596 and for a new ci r.sade in favor of base money. This was William .T. Bryan. To Bryan the defeat of himself unci his cause in 1896 and the prosperity which that overthrow brought to the country means nothing. He is as de voted to the 50-cent dollar now as he, was four years ago, and lie wants to putin the platform of 1000 another doc trine which would be as abhorrent to Jefferson and Jackson as dishonest money would be. This is the doctrine of territorial contraction. Bryan wants the flrig io be pulled down in the I'hiL ippines, and he urges this while pre tending to be devoted to the memory of Jefferson, who got the Louisiana province from France, and he urged it. at a celebration of a day dedicated to the memory of the man who upset Spanish sovereignty in Florida and con strained Spain to make the treaty with the United States which gave Florida, to this country. The placing of Bryan in juxtaposition with Cleveland will show tie wide divergence which the democratic party has made in the past, few years from the creed of its founders. The suicidal course which Bryan rec ommends to his party will not be adopt ed this year without a strong opposi tion from an element of the part y which urged it four years ago. Ex-Gov. Boies, also at a Jackson day celebration, de clared that the democratic defeat, of 1596 was due solely to the free silver crusade, and he said "a repetition of the course we pursued that year is as abso lutely certain to lead to a worse defeat in this national canvass as this canvass is to come." Boies was a 50-cent-dollar man in IS9C>, but he is not a bourbon. He learns something from adversity. Undoubtedly the Boies faction is strong in the democratic party, but the Bryan wreckers are probably still in the ma jority. Nobody now alive ever saw the democratic party more discordant and demoralized than it is at this moment. The situation to-day is as bad for that organization as that was which was presented at the split which took place at the Charleston convention of 18(10. The Cleveland men represented the Douglas element of that year, while the liryanites resemble the Breckinridge madmen who plunged the party to de struction. These are gloomy days for the hundred-vear-old democratic party. —St. Louis Globe-Democrat. DEMAGOGUE BRYAN. TryliiK lo Hake the People llelleve It Is Not for Him to I'ny Taxeit. Not only does Col. Bryan object to paying the war tax of one cent on every telegram he sends, but he is try ing to make the people believe it is unjust to the poor man to make him pay the same tax on the tobacco he smokes and the liquor he drinks that is paid by the rieh man. "The poor man pays a larger percent age of his income in war tax on the tobacco lie smokes and the liquor he drinks than the rieh man does," de clares the free coiner, or words to that effect. Of course, if tho poor man is paying a larger percentage of his in come than the rieh roan is in war taxes on tobacco and liquor, something should be done about it at once. Per haps it did not occur to Col. Bryan to suggest that the poor man should smoke less tobacco and drink less liquor. That, however, would ba an interference with personal liberty, lie might, nevertheless, propose that the rich, man be compelled by law to double or triple his consumption of tobacco and liquor, and in that way the tax matter could be evened up. But the colonel will suggest no rem edy. lie knows the poor man does not feel the war tax he pays on tobacco and liquor; that not a single consumer would know he was paying such a tax unless told of it. The sole purpose of the colonel is to array the poor against the rich. He is making again the same appeal to passion and prejudice that he made during the entire campaign of 1890. It is simply the wail of the demagogue and nothing else. —Cleve- land Leader. CTSenator Depew is tc'.ling a story of a New York factory which used to shut down for a week < very Christmas for general overhauling. "This year," says the senator, "the placp was rushed with orders, and there was no let. up except during the actual legal holidays, •ind many of the men \\ < ren't idle even then. One of the workingmen growled i good deal about having no holidays and finally wound by saying: 'IT this sort of thing keeps up I'll vote the dem ocratic ticket.' " —Chicago Post. CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 1900. TRUSTS IS THE RA3T. Wanton ItlllllnK of Ilrynn lo Create Prejudice Agnlnal Industrial Com Itlnalionit. As usual, Mr. Bryan cries out "Trusts!" and takes great care not to say what he means. The plain people, as Mr. Lincoln used to call them, are well aware what that sort of treat ment means. Never does it, mean igno rance only. Were Mr. Bryan profound ly ignorant on the subject, he would not fail to guard himself by aiming his shots at the corporations which actu ally abuse their power, or at those which have powers they are likely to abuse. The bare fact that he is par ticularly careful not to limit his at tacks, as a man of his cunning obvious ly would if he wished to reach the minds of intelligent people, proveslhat lie has a different purpose, lie is not trying to guard against any real evil; on the contrary, nothing else so effect ually cripples the effort to promote sen sible iind practical legislation on this subject as wanton and indiscriminate railing at good ant! bad corporations alike. He is not, trying to reach or influence men who are guided by infor mation or reasoning, but to stir tip hatred against capital and its effective use in productive industry. Whether he hurts individuals who arc material ly benefiting all workers and till con sumers, he does not. care. Whether he hurts the country, he does not care. For people of common sense no words of opprobrium are needed to describe such a purpose or such a man. A year ago such wanton railing at all industrial combinations did kindle prej udice against them. Most people had not closely followed the history of such corporations and did not, know what they had done nor what had be fallen them. A year's experience and discussion, with all the object lessons the year lias presented, have entirely changed the state of public opinion. It is not yet fully informed, but knows for certain that information is neces sary. and that some of the great indus trial corporations are doing much good, as others are doing much evil. It has become known lo practical and com mon sense voters that the man who rails indiscriminately at all industrial organizations does not do it because he is stupid, but because he is a dema gogue and a knave. Large public information has been promoted by the conduct, of new corpo rations toward employes, llow many persons they employ can only be con jectured. but several hundred thousand of them have materially gained in, fuller and better employment and larger wages, and the fact is known to them and their friends and neighbors that the change has been reached in the great majority of cases without, any struggle or sacrifice, and without even a formal request in most instances, by the desire of the corporations to retain and fully satisfy the most competent and experienced men in thei.- lines of work. There is no savor or pretense of philanthropy about it. The corpo rations want the most efficient work they can get. They are so far free from fear of immediate competition that they can afford to secure it. They cal culate that it will add to their profits in the end. But if that is so, the nat ural tendency of combinations is to give to the strong corporations the pick of the workers and to their employes the best wages in their occupations. Whether this is the lasting effect re mains to be proved. But the plain peo ple have sense enough to see that it is the immediate consequence, and may possibly prove permanent, and that it mcars a distinct advantage for the great <imy of workers in the branches of industry most affected. As a result the half million employes, more or less, and the millions of friends and neigh bors who know how the thing works thus far have realized that more infor mation must be awaited before indus trial combinations can be indiscrim inately assailed by any honest man.— N. Y. Tribune. CURRENT COMMENT. Bryan assumes to tell exactly what the demoeratic party must do, with almost as much assurance as if he were one of these wicked political bosses. —Washington Star.

Cs"lt is stated that 310 miles of elec tric railways have been planned in Ha waii. Another credit mark is due the republican idea of restoring the Amer ican flag where a demoeratic adminis tration pulled it down. —St. Louis Globe Democrat. Montana is said to have mined $40,- 000,000 worth of copper last year. That beats the gold or silver record of any state in the union. Will Montana come out for free and unlimited coinage of copper? It would be as sensible as "free silver" at sixteen to one.—Troy Times.

ITTMr. Bryan does not want to ad mit the Filipinos into the American brotherhood, because they are an in ferior people. Mr. Bryan, it will be remembered, attributed his defeat in IfiOO to the fact that the foreign-born citizens of the United States were most ly too ignorant to understand the is sues.—Cleveland Leader.

Thousands ol KeiitiieklaiiK Dseort Ihe Etemains to I'ranklort Cemetery. Frankfort, Ivy., Feb. 9. liain came down in sheets yesterday while the funeral services were being held over the body of Kentucky's dead demo cratic leader. Just as the hour for the formation of the funeral proces sion arrived the rain began to fall, slowly at first, but with ever increas ing rapidity until shortly after noon, when the parade was on the. march, the flood began to descend. I'here were dry intervals, but after them the water came again with increased vi ciousness and just as the hearse left the Capital hotel a heavy shower be gan which continued all afternoon. The exercises in the cemeterv were conducted before a crowd much small er than would have been the case had the weather been pleasant, but they were carried out to the letter and the body of William (loebel lies in the chapel of the Frankfort cemetery al tei one of the greatest funeral demon strations ever seen in this state. As soon as the weather clears sufficiently the casiVel will be consigned to the grave. It had been feared that there might arise trouble between the sol diers iu tthe Capitol grounds and dem ocratic partisans in the line of march, when the parade passed Capitol square, but nothing of the kind oc curred.

Senator Clark** Aleuts Tell About the Lavish Uxe ol Money in JVlonlana Polities, Washington, Feb. 9. —Senator Clark's managers occupied the witness stand yesterday in the investigation which the senate committee on elec tions is conducting. Mr. Bickford concluded his testimony and he was followed by Frank E. Corbett, Mr. Clark's principal counsel in Montana; ex-Gov. Hauser, Mr. A. J. Davidson and A. J. Steele. Davidson and Steele were identified with Mr. Clark's campaign, Mr. David son being one of a commit fee of three having the matter especially in charge. He saiil he had spent $21,000 in the legislative campaign and $5,000 in trying to influence the legislators for Mr. Clark. The expenditure, he declared, was all legitimate. Gov. Mauser's testimony related gen erally to the use of money in Montana politics. He claimed to have been in strumental in getting Mr. Clark to en ter the senatorial race, saying Mr. Clark had been loath to do so because of the expense. Mr. Hauser said that in the neighborhood of $1,000,000 had been spent in the fight over the loca tion of the capital in that state. The Placue'tf UavH^ra, Washington, Feb.

Nine people were killed, tihree are reported miss ing. five seriously and four slightly in jured. The dead are: W. L. Hill, Escanuba, baggageman of the accommodation train.

Fast freight No. 2H9, northbound from (ireen Bay to Ishpeming, drawn by Engineer .lames (Ireen and Fire man Cole Nee, was making about 50 miles am hour when it passed Ford River switch, seven miles west of this city. The engine was forging ahead through a blinding snow storm, which made it impossible to see signal lights but a short distance ahead. \\ hen within 100 vards of the switch at Ford liiver, Kngineer Green saw the rear lights of a train directly ahead and with a warning cry to his fireman, jumped. The next inatanit the heavy freight struck the passenger coach of the ac commodation and telescoped it and the baggage car ahead. The do/en "l" more passengers in the car had not .1 moment's warning before the crash came, and a moment later the cries of the injured could be heard above the hiss of the escaping steam and crackle of the flames, which soon enveloped the wrecked cars and made the work of rescue doubly hard. As fast as the injured were removed they were taken to a store a short distance away, while the train crews fought desperately, assisted by unin jured passengers, to gain control )f the fire, which ithresutened the destruc tion of the wreck before all the injur ed could be removed.

In following up the clues ("apt. Rey nolds said he ran across a. man who knew Miller. The movements of this man he followed until the latter and Miller met. Reynolds would not say where this meeting occurred. Accord ing to Reynolds, Miller was not taken by surprise. The captain told him that as they were in Canada he would not arrest him. but would follow him wherever he went. Miller replied that he was going back to Brooklyn any way. ('apt. Reynolds did not place him under arrest until they reached the (irand Central depot, when he showed him the warrant of the King's county grand jury.

The fact that W. 11.

"Another story that Vest told related to his candidacy for the legislature in 1861 against A. S. Walker.

Both sides knew that about sis votes either way would determine the con test, and on the day before election Walker raised the point on Vest that he had stolen eoine pigs. The only way that Vest could meet the charge was to acknowledge smil ingly that he had the pigs in hia pen and in his possession. If he had gone further and said that he had bought them—which they hoped he Mould do—they had wit nesses to show that he had not bought them, but Vest, was too shrewd to be caught in the trap, and turned the accusation off with a laugh and the remark: " 'One can't account for the way his boys get pigs.'
