A special from Kenton, 0., runs along
with the coffee mill. Albert Hart, a
jeweler of Mount Victory, made a most
peculiar find a few days ago. lie lo
cated a S2OO diamond in a coffee mill.
The coffee mill was broken and Mr.
llart took it apart to find what was the
trouble, discovering that it had been
wrecked by the action of a stone of
some sort that had even cut its way into
the metal of the grinders. Mr. Hart
took the stone to his jewelry store, and
putting it under a microscope discov
ered that it was a large diamond of the
blue tint variety and worth from $l5O
to S2OO. It is thought that the diamond
got mixed up with the coffee when the
grain was screened in South Africa,
where the coffee is raised. The diamond
is about the size of a coffee grain and
had the same dull color.
An experiment made lately at Wal
lack's theater, New York, tested the
relative merits of advertising methods.
Between the acts one night ushers
handed each person in the audience a
statement of the points in question and
requested that a check mark be placed
to indicate whether the advertisement
consulted had been in a newspaper, on
bill boards, a window lithograph or
something else. At the end of the next
act the ushers collected 1,100 answers,
and of these the check mark in 991
cases was placed opposite "newspaper
advertisement." As a result of this
practical trial the manager will devote
ten-elevenths of his advertising fund
to newspaper announcements.
As usual, a bill has been introduced
into congress reducing letter postage
to one cent for each half ounce. At
present the rate is two cents an ounce
or fraction thereof. A great number of
letters that pass through the mails
weigh a half ounce or less, and on these
there would be a saving. The obstacle
in the way of reduction is the deficiency
of postal revenue. Abuse of second
class mail privileges makes a deficiency
of nearly $20,000,000, and as first class
mail matter is the only one that is car
ried at a fair profit a reduction to one
cent a half ounce would result in a loss.
Rochester, N. Y., boasts of a two
year-old child that "rides a bicycle
fearlessly about the streets, passing in

tomobiles and trolley cars that cause
many a more experienced rider to hes
itate or get off and walk." Poor child!
remarks a humane contemporary. Is
there no society for cruelty to chil
dren in Rochester? Of course, experi
enced riders hesitate, and so would
the child if it knew its danger. Roch
ester should boast, of something else.
The other day a man in Goshen paid
an enormous price for a pup, says the
Times, of that town. His wife lectured
him for his folly, and to prove the dog's
worth he said ho had left his gloves at
the office and would send the dog for
them. The expensive pup was gone
about ten minutes, and then came back,
wagging his tail und holding a lady's
belt in his mouth. Then there was a
lecture over more than finance. The
next day the pup was given away.
A Missouri man called a neighbor a

THE JEFFERSONIAN IDEA.
IIUNIN of tin* II CCDIN IIM-niln I lons of the
Philippine Ci)i"-
IlliHMion.
In the first half of its full report the
Philippine commission confronts the
»iiti-expansionists with the recom
mendation that at. the very outset
there be granted to the people of the
Philippines "larger liberties of self
govern inent than Jefferson approved
of for ihe inhabitants of Louisiana"
when the territory at that time known
by that name had been purchased by
the United States.
The commission believes that it will
be safe, expedient and desirable to
grant to the inhabitants of the archi
pelago a large measure of home rule in
local affairs. "Their towns should en
joy substantially the rights, privileges
and immunities of towns in one of the
territories of the United States," says
the report. The provinces should be
turned into counties and vested with
substantially the same functions en
joyed by counties, in the home terri
tories. The report goes into the de
tails of the plan for such a form of
territorial government, which plan is
mcdeled, like all bills for territorial
organization which have been enacted
from time to time by the congress,
after the plan of organization which
m 1804 was adopted for the newly ac
quired territory of Louisiana, of which
Thomas Jefferson outlined the first
sketch and which he approved in its
completed form.
In this connection the commission
directs, atentlon to the fact that in
]so:i. when there was considerable dif
ference of opinion as to the disposi
tion that should be made of Louisiana,
President Jefferson evidently became
irritated by opposition within the ter
ritory to the plan of government pro
posed for it, for lie complained that
"although it is acknowledged that our
new fellow citizens are as yet as incap
able of self-government as children,
yet some cannot bring themselves to
suspend its principles for a single mo
ment."
He it remembered that this Thomas
Jefferson was the man whom the lit
tle anti-expansionists of to-day pre
tend to regard as their great proto
type.
The absurdity and impossibility of
the "independent republic under
American protectorate" plan which
Aguinaldo is. believed to have had in
mind and which Mr. Bryan is advocat
ing, are clearly shown by the commis
sion. Referring to the protectorate
proposition it says, in its report:
"Under the chimerical scheme of pro
tection cherished by Aguinaldo, if a for
eigner lost his life or property through a
miscarriage of justice in a Philippine court,
or in consequence of a governor's failure
to suppress a riot, then the T'nited States
would be responsible for indemnity to the
foreigner's government, without possess
ing the power of punishing the offenders
or of preventing such maladministration,
or of protecting itself against similar oc
currences in the future. Nor could the lia
bility to foreign nations be reduced without
permitting them directly to seek redress,
and such a course would, it is to bo feared,
speedily lead to the appropriation of the
Philippine Islands by the great powers, who
would not need to seek far for pretenses
for intervention."
The report is so voluminous that it
is impossible to discuss even one part
of it—that relating to a form of gov
ernment that would be safe and satis
factory—in detail, in general, it can
be said that the plan is in accordance
with a precedent that was established
nearly a hundred years ago and which
has remained unshaken and unques
tioned until now, and that it holds out
to the people of the Philippines as lib
eral a portion of self-government as
they could reasonably expect. —Albany
Journal.

C.Mr. Bryan continues to talk about
this country adopting "the money pol
icy of England." It is not England
alone that is now governed by the gold
standard, but every country of conse
quence in Europe. Fully 93 per cent, cf
tlie exported agricultural products of
the United States are sold in gold
standard countries. And this country,
with nearly $1,000,000,000 in gold and
$500.000,000 of silver money, is prac
tically bimetallist, while every free
coinage country is silver monometallist.

cy. It will tell strongly against that
party in the canvass. Sensible demo
crats see this. It is noticed that Bryan
is not quite so exuberant in his speeches
as lie was a few months ago. lie is not
predicting victory now. Of course,
neither Bryan nor any other reasonable
man has, at any time in the past two
years, looked for democratic victory in
1900. Certainly no such democrat is
looking for it now. —St. Louis Globe-

CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 1900.
INDORSED BY TELLER-
Fine Tribute to the Gold Standard b>
the Former Clinnip lon of
Free Silver.
Senator Teller is, of course, opposed
to the financial bill which is before his
chamber, the principal purpose of
which measure is to put the gold
standard in the statutes. He dislikes
the bill for several reasons, but chiefly
on this account. Yet he unintention
ally, and perhaps unconsciously, sayt
a good word indirectly for it. "Is
there any necessity for this legislation
to increase American credit?" he asks.
"I would like to r.sk the senator from
Rhode Island (Aldrich) whether there
is any trouble with American credit.
Is there any other country which can
sell its securities at such high prices
as we can? All our bonds are huglier
than Those of any other country. No
body is questioning our honesty. And
yet we have legislation here the
avowai purpose of which is to
strengthen our credit and relieve tax
ation."
The Colorado senator paid a fine
tribute here to the merits of the gold
standard which he opposes. Be passed
a glov.ing eulogy on the republican
party which he has left, and which he
is in the habit of denouncing. It is
the gold standard which is the cause
of the advancement in the credit of
the United States, It is the repub
lican party which is responsible for
the gold standard. "Is there any other
country which can sell its securities
at such high prices as we can?" Not
one. Our low interest government
bonds rule higher on the markets of
the world than do the British consols,
which are Europe's gilt-edged securi
ties. "Nobody is questioning our
honesty." The senator is emphatically
correct here also. Moreover, nobody
will ever have a chance to question
tiie nation's honesty while the repub
lican party remains in control of its
government. Teller is unquestionably
correct on both points, The credit of
the government is the highest in the
world and its honesty is undisputed
simply because the republican party
is now, has been for some time past,
and is likely to be for some time to
come, in complete charge of its af
fairs.
It is a pity that Teller left the re
publican party. The senator is a man
of character and ability. No other
man who has, evar been on the silver
side has as much brains as Teller, ex
cept Jones, of Nevada, and Jones has
abandoned that cause, and has come
back to the republicans. Teller will
be compelled to do the same in the
very near future. His state is drifting
back to the republican party, as shown
by the fact that in tho recent county
elections it chose 181 republican offi
cials, as compared with only 81 demo
crats and only 210 of all the nonrepub
lican elements of the state in combi
nation, arid these number eight dis
tinct parties or factions. Teller is out
of place in the Bryanite aggregation.
In hii present affiliations he can never
have any influence on the. country's
poiitics. He is cut off from all connec
tion with the forces which control the
nation's destinies, and make it glori
ous. Moreover, he is putting himself
in a false position, and is liable to have
his motives and ideas misunderstood.
Though ostensibly an anti-republican
and an anti-gold standard man, he has
just furnished an impressive tribute
to the beneficence of the gold standard
ar.d to the financial sanity and cour
age of the republican party.—St. Louis
Globe-Democrat.
POINTING TO LINCOLN.
A Fnvorlte Trlek of the plionlc
Moiltlipleee of the ItcneKisde
De moerney.
Bryan is endeavoring to defend the
stand he has taken against the flag and
the honor of our country, and trying to
justify in every possible way the posi
tion he has taken as a traitor and as a
friend of the enemy. With the blood of
the late Gen. Lawton and hundreds of
other brave heroes dripping from his
finger tips, this little joss of the silver
barons holds up his hands in holy hor
ror when accused of being a traitor,
and tries to make the people believe
that in criticising the stand of the gov
ernment and the nation he is only fol
lowing a precedent handed down by
the martyr Lincoln. It is a favorite
trick of his to try to justify himself by
pointing to something that Lincoln is
said to have said or done, and when in a
fight place he always refers to Lincoln.
He does so without authority and has
upon many occasions been caught in his
falsehoods, but deceit seems to be the
principal trait of the man's make-up,
and on and on he goes on the broad
road of falsehood that leads to defeat
and ruin to whomsoever travels it. In
Minneapolis the other day he made a
speech and quoted disconnected sen
tences from a supposed speech of Lin
coln. in which that great man criticised
a democratic administration for its con
duct of the war. He attempted to justi
fy his criticism of President MeKinley
by this speech. The speech made by
Lincoln was made on January 12, 1848,
and the last battle of the Mexican war
had been fought on September 12 of the
preeedingyenr. President Lincoln held
his peace while the war was being
fought, and gave no comfort to the ene
my, but Bryan is now comforting the
Filipinos with his stand against our
flag, and in reality can be called the
leader of the Filipino army. When the
war is over Col. Bryan and all others
may criticise the war and the nation all
they please, but when they do so now
they can be naught but. traitors. "Col."
Bryan's speech at Minneapolis is only
another proof that he is the living per
sonification of deceit and falsehood.—

by a ECritisli ( elisor
ut Durban.
Washington, Feb. 15.—The following
statement was given out last night by
Charles E. Maci'uni, former United
States consul to Pretoria:
"The situation in Pretoria was such
that, first, as an oliicial, I could not
remain there while my government at
home was apparently in the dark as
to the exact conditions in South Af
rica. Secondly, as a man and citizen
of the United States I could not re
main in Pretoria, sacrificing my own
self-respect and that of the people of
Pretoria while the government at
home continued to leave me in the
position of a 15r«itish consul and not
an American consul. There, was not
one request made of me through the
department of state looking to the
care of British interests in Pretoria
which 1 did not fulfill.
"I issued the statement received
from the state department that Amer
icans must remain neutral. In the
face of this, Americans were continu
ally going to the front and taking up
arms in the cause of the lioers. Many
of them, in utter despair at the appar
ent attitude of our own government,
were taking the oath of allegiance to
the Transvaal.
"It was over four weeks from the
time the war opened before 1 received
a mail dispatch from my government
or a personal letter. The mail for the
Transvaal had been, stopped at Cape
Town bv order of the high commis
sioner. When this mail was finally
forwarded to me after Col. Stowe, the
consul general at Cape Town, had se
cured its release, I had the humilia
tion of sittinir in my office in Pretoria
and looking upon envelopes bearing
the official seal of the American gov
ernment opened and officially sealed
with a sticker, notifying me that the
contents had been read by the censor
at Durban. I looked up international
law, but failed to find anywhere that
one military power can use its own
discretion as to forwarding the official
dispatches of a neutral government to
its representative in a besieged coun
try.
"On November 6 I filed a cable to
the department stating that 1 wished
leave of absence in order to visit the
states. 1 set forth in this cable that
my vice consul had enlisted in the
l'oer army; that a Mr. Atterbury, an
American, whom 1 had known for
more than a year, could take charge
of the ollice until my return. In re
ply to this dispatch, which was for
warded "without delay, I received from
the department a reply advising me
that my presence at Pretoria was im
portant to public interests. On the
Stli I telegraphed again, advising the
department that the situation was not
critical; that Mr. Atterbury was com
petent; that my presence in America
was important. No reply was received
and I wired again on the 11th, and
urged a favorable reply. No re
ply was received to this. On Novem
ber 14 I again wired the department.
"On December 4 I received a reply
from the department to my cablegram
of the 14th, which 1 had been inform
ed two days previously had just been
forwarded. It read as follows:
" 'You may come home. Put Atter
bury temporarily in charge. Depart
ment will send man from here.' There
upon I cabled the department as fol
lows:
" 'Sail 18th, by Naples.'
"Thus cablegram was sent on the
Bth, and a few days later I received a
telegram from Mr. llollis, consul at
Delagoa bay, stating that he had been
instructed to come to Pretoria to take
charge of my office during my ab
sence, and until a man should arrive
from Washington. Mr. llollis arrived
on December 14 and 1 left Pretoria on
December 10.
"On my way to Washington, believ
ing that I was still the consul in Pre
toria, I refused to make any state
ment that would (in any way involve
the department or embarrass it. My
one object was to lay the information
before the department as to the true
state of affairs in South Africa.
"Secretary Hay, whether acting up
on the reports in the newspapers, or
upon advice from the British govern
ment, or some other motive, I do not
know, saw fit not to wait until 1 could
present my reasons in person and has
been a silent or conniving partner to
discrediting reports of my official
acts. I come home to find an attempt
has been made to tear down my per
sonal reputation. 1 wish to state
right here that when I accepted my
post as consul 1 know nothing of any
secret alliance between America and
Great Britain, and that I had seen
nothing in the regulations which
made the consul of the American re
public subject to the whims of an
English military censor at Durban. I
came to America with a motive of
which i am not ashamed.
"There is not one soul who can
point to a single official act of mine
which departed from the strictest neu
trality. My acts as a public official
arc all recorded at the department
Mv acts now as a private man can in
no way involve the public service, and
I simply make this statement in ray
own interest against those which
have come from the department, se
cretly and officially."

"One day last fall," said a well-known
Montana man,"l was riding on a train in
my state and got to be on pretty fair terms
with the train hoy by buying a few of the
things he had to sell. It was not a very
formal kind of a train, and when the boy
had finished his rounds he came over to
sit with me and 'chin a bit,' as he said. I
was willing enough, as he was a sharp lad
and there was nobody else to talk to, and
he went right at things.
" 'Do you know,' he said, 'that I ean tell
by looking at a man mighty near what he
is. Now, there's that fellow over there in
the corner; he's a Chicago drummer. I
can tell him by the way ne lets his money
go and the flip style he has when he talks
to people. And that chap over there with
the silk hat on, he's a preacher from a
country town, I'm dead sure, and I'll go
ask him if you say so.'
"I didn't say so, because I didn't care a
continental, and the boy went on with his
descriptions of the people 011 the train. At
last 1 asked him what he thought I was.
I had on a pretty flashy suit of light stuff
and was thinking I was looking pretty well,
so I wis willing to risk the boy's venture.
He looked me over for a full minute very
carefully.
" 'Well,' he said, at last, 'you've got a
8100 of money, but I ain't dead sure whether
you are a cattleman, or a gambler.' "—Wash
