Insist on Pledge.
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.

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.

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.
