The Republican County Com mittee of Eric county has taken a goo<l step in insisting that all can didates for the Legislature shall pledge themselves to attend the party caucuses, if elected, and sup port the caucus nominees or what ever nominees a majority of the caucus shall take. This is the proper thing to do. All candidates should he required to pledge them selves to stand by the party nom inees and go into caucus and help make the nominations. It is in the very nature of things that the majority should rule, and when a man is elected to the Legislature as a Republican, he should be re quired togo into the caucus of his party and support to the fullest extent the choice of that caucus, for it is the majority that makes choice. One of the fundamental principles of the Republican party is that the party shall rule, and when we get away from that idea, we get away from the party. Where is party duty if party rules are to be disregarded with impunity, and every man set up for himself? Such action soon disrupts any organization, we care not how strong it is, and calamity is the result. The party wrecker is the man who refuses to abide by the will of the majority, but the party wrecker has no chance to do any wrecking if a pledge is exacted from him that he will attend the caucus and abide by its decision, that decision, of course, being the action of a majority of those en titled to attend and vote in the caucus. Every Republican organ ization in the State should amend its rules at once so as to exact this sort of a pledge from all candi eandidates before permitting their names to be submitted to the pri maries or to a nominating conven tion.—llarrisburg Telegraph. Sibiey Accepts. The following letter from Con gressman .J. ('. Sibley, is addressed to the voters of the Twenty-seventh district: WASHINGTON, Feb. 2, 1900. ; 'GKNTI.KM EX : —Responding to your request that I again become a candidate for Congress, permit me briefly to express my appreciation of the honor you do me. The political creed that governs my actions may be briefly stated, to support every man and every measure that has for an animating purpose the welfare of society and the upbuilding, prosperity and glory of our common country. "In the most trying period in the nation's history, I believe the administration has conducted affairs with safety and with honor, having in view the welfare of all classes ot" citizenship. Junius wrote in one of his letters as fol lows: " 'The merits of a ministry may best determined by observing the conditions of the people.' "If this be a fair test of merit, then I believe the President is en titled to the respect, confidence and support of every man who prefers the welfare of all classes of citizenship to the welfare of any port ion thereof under party division. "When a candidate for your suffrages, I pledged myself to sup port measures coming before Con gress, regardless of political bias, and to give to their consideration the best qualities of head and heart in my possession. This pledge I have honestly and earn estly attempted to maintain. 1 have supported the administration because 1 am in sympathy with its action of the past, the present, and i its aims for the future, as far as j they arc outlined. Any measures ' which in their tendency threaten j ••resent prosperity, should be; viewed by us all as impending | calamities, to be avoided. My j luty, as ! believe it to be the duty j of every citizen who recalls so j vividly the misery of the last few i , and contrast it with the | present content and happiness of our people as a whole, is to make common cause, that the blessings enjoyed at the present moment shall be maintained and enlarged. "I therefore accept your call, and, pursuant thereto, announce myself as your candidate for Con gress from the Twenty-seventh district, renewing my pledges of the past, to give you and the prin ciples you represent, and to the nation, my best efforts for a con tinuation of the present prosperity, and those principles which, if I understand the aim of the Repub lican party at the present time, will further enhance and secure to all classes and conditions of society a more enlarged and general par ticipation in the blessings of free government.'' Respectfully, JOSEPH C. SIHLEV. FORECAST OF THE WEEK AT THE NATION'S CAPITOL. Nicaraugua Canal Bill Gaining Sup- Question of Neutrality Involved.--The Effect of the Roberts Case. President McKinley and Secretary Hay are not more egotistical than other men, but they would be more than human if they did not enjoy the rapidity with which the Nicaragua Canal treaty is gaining supporters, as its foresight and wisdom is being recognized. Last week, when the treaty was first sent to the Senate, there was an outcry against it, because it provided for the neutrality of the eanal and pledged this government not to fortify either end of it. The lobbyists who for one reason or another are opposed to the construc tion of the Nicaragua Canal, saw their opportunity and made the most of it, and for several days it really looked as though they would be able to create a sentiment against the treaty that might jeorpardise its ratification by the Sen ate. With a few honorable exceptions, the Democratic Senators, who are wildly hunting for campaign material, have been and are acting as allies of the lobbyists, although themselves claiming to favor the construction of the canal. It now seems reasonably certain that the treaty will be ratified with votes to spare. In agreeing to make the canal neutral, the treaty ad vertises the fact that the U. S. aims to be the greatest commercial nation in the world, rather than a military bully among the nations, and that advertise ment will add millions to our foreign commerce. President McKinley and Secretary Hay, in negotiating that treaty, recognized the fact that the U. S. has a Navy, and will always have one, strong enough to meet any enemies it may have, and that much more would be gained by assuring the world of the neutrality of canal than could possibly be gained by fortifying it and reserving the right to close it against any nation with which we might be at war. In making the canal neutral, it will be under the joint pro i teetion of every maritime power in the world—that protection will be assured by a formal treaty later—and its safety from attack from any country with which we may be at war, made certain. If wo reserved the right to close the canal to enemies, we should have to assert that right by force, which would be more costty than beneficial, from any point of view. Senator-elect Bard, of California, is not widely known in Congress, outside of the California delegation, but Sena tor Perkins, whose judgment is relied upon by all who know him, says he has known Senator Bard for more than a quarter of a century, and that his solid qualities will make him a decided acquisition to the Senate. Judge J. T. McDonald, of Salt Lake City, now in Washington, said of the effect in Utah of the shutting of Roberts out of the House: ''l think that in the future, no polygamist will be elected to any Federal office, and I doubt if any polygamist will be elected to any office. The decision of the House was an earnest showing of the sentiment of the country and the con viction of the Government. Ido not there will be any more bucking think against it." Hon. Thomas B. Reed said a few years again that this was a billion dol lar country. To-day, it can be truth fully said that this is a two-billion dollar eountry. Last year, the foreign commerce of the U. S. exceeded two billion dollars in value, and the official Treasury figures for the first week in February 1900, show that, for the first time in our history, the amount of money in circulation in the country, exceeds two billion dollars. It will not be forgotten when the time comes for the people to vote again, in a na tional election, that it was a Republi can administration and a Republican Congress that first made it necessary j to use ten figures to show the business condition of this, the most prosperous country on earth. This is a two-billion dollar country. Impress that colossal fact upon your mind. Chairman Payne, of the House Ways and Means Committee, gave notice in presenting the majority report in favor of the Puerto Rico tariff bill, that the measure would be called up in the House on the 15th inst. The report claims that the quantity of Puerto Rican sugar and tobacco sent to the U. S.-about four million pounds of tobacco and about 45,000 tons of sugar—is not largo enough to affect prices, and that there is no ground for the opposition to allowing the Puerto Rican products to come in for twenty-five per cent, of the duty on similar foreign products. The bill provides that all collections in tho islands, both from duties and other sources, as well as the duties collected on Puerto Rican products in the U. R. shall be used for tho benefit of the Island. CASTORS A For Infants and Children. The Kind You Have Always Bought CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 1900. ALL SORTS.
