Hunting for Grievances. The great wave of prosperity that promptly followed the inaugu ration of the Republican national administration in 1 St>7. in signifi cant contrast with the preceding four years of industrial and finan cial depression, promoted by Demo cratic legislative and executive fol lies; a successful, brilliant and popular war, in the interest of humanity, which has immeasurably exalted the prestige of American arms, added to the domain of the nation some of the fairest and most valuable island areas of the eastern and western seas, secured for the Republic a commanding place among the nations of earth, and won respect for its flag wher ever it greets the winds; an ad ministration of public affairs so broad and sagacious that it restor ed brotherhood to the Union on the fields of war, and in its settlements of peace accomplished in a twelve month the industrial and commer cial work of half a century. For these gratifying results full credit is assuredly due the Republican party. It was Republican legisla tion that putin motion our exist ing rusting wheels of industry, thus furnishing employment to millions of idle hands, and while the Democratic rank and file man fully contribute to the success of our war witli Spain, their leaders are now clamoring for relinquish ment of all the fruits of their vic tories. In all these triumphs they re fuse to see anything but national peril, and even interpret as an omen of evil the glow of prosperity that rests upon the land like a vast benediction. Their last catalogue of minor grievances, recited in the House by Lentz of Ohio during the recent discussion on the currency bill, was a remarkable exposition of party rancor. lie is a blatant anti-expansionist, and enraged at the certainty of coming defeat, recklessly charged the administra tion with crimes enough to make the angels weep. Like a rattle snake in the dog days, he was blinded by his own venom, strik ing wildly at everything Republi can, pointing to every political plan that isracking the Democratic anatomy, and making the expos ure all the more amusing to his opponents because of his inability to devise a remedy for any of them. Could he be goaded into another intemperate harangue, we might be able to find out what is the mat ter with him and his faction be sides the old chronic disorder of State rights.—Ban Francisco Chron cle All Mope Clone. One would scarcely have sup posed that Hon. J. C. Sibley's change of base in politics would have created such a commotion among the Warren Democracy, says the Warren Mirror. Not so many months ago the devotion of the Warren Democracy to our Congressman was most affectionate. To be sure much of it, in not a few cases, was of the sordid kind, and it was evident that the mainspring of the affec tionate devotion was Joseph's dol lars and his reputed liberality. One of the Democracy's fond titles, with Joseph, was honored and dignified in Warren, at least, was that of "Honest Joe." And now what is there in a name? It i-; "Honest Joe," no longer, not for Joseph. The Warren Democracy are in a terrible way in consequence. They cannot forgive themselves for sup porting and voting for Mr. Sibley, and some of them are very much worried over the question as to whether the Lord will ever forgive them the awful mistake they com mitted by placing Sibley in such a responsible position. Rut the fact of the matter is Hon. Joseph C. Sibley is much more of a man and an honest man than they ever counted on. It takes a man of considerable courage to stand up and face his party with the declaration of a change of heart when he finds that he has been wrong. This Mr. Sibley has done. Rut the Democracy could have endured all that and sugered their heart-pains in secret, but when .Joseph stood up in the House and told his party associates that they were without a policy or an issue, worthy to be presented to the peo ple, he stunned Democracy and the recovery from the shock in Warren lias been something terrible to the "unterrified." And now what shall the harvest be? The harvests of the past have gone glimmering. Democracy's harvest of the past have gone glim mering. Democracy's harvest of the future is but a prospect of darkness. So far as Democracy is concerned Joseph's name will have to be changed to "Dennis." Mr. Sibley has turned the Demo cratic household upside down, but what will be the condition of that household when he gets done with it? PUERTO RICAN BILL BEFORE THE HOUSE. The Contending Forces are Arraying for a Battle Royal when the De bate in the House Begins-- Other Capitol News of General Interest. President MeKinlay's willingness to Bubordinate his personal opinion when it doesn't agree with that of the com bined leaders of the party in Congress, is one of the reasons why he is more popular with Congress than any other President has ever been. A case in point is the Puerto Rican tariff bill, which Chairman Payne, of the Ways and Means Committee, called up in the House to-day and which will be kept before the House until it is passed. President McKinley's opinion, as stated in his annual message, was that Puerto Rico should have free trade with us, but when the party leaders in Congress concluded that it was best to put a small duty—one-fourth of what foreign countries pay—on Puerto Rican pro ducts, he at once stated that he would not attempt to pass his personal opinion above that of Congress, but would sign any bill passed by Congress. The principal object of the duty is to raise money to be spent for the betterment of Puerto Rico. R is absurd to say that the failure of the Republican caucus to put the Quay case on the legislative programme of the Senate, was either a defeat or a victory for Mr. Quay, as some persons have said since the caucus was held. The reason why the case was not in cluded in the programme was simply because a question involving the right of a Senator to his seat is one of the highest privileges and can be called up at any time; it needed no place on the programme. Secretary Hay has begun an investi gation to ascertain whether the charge of Charles E. Macrum, who practically deserted his post as U. S. Consul at Pretoria, because this government did not take sides with the Boers, that his official mail was opened by the British Military Censor at Durban, was true. The first that Secretary Hay, or any body in Washington heard of this serious charge was when Mr. Macrum published a statement, over his signa ture, giving his reasons for running away from his post. If the charge be true, an apology will, of course be de manded from the British government. The bill providing a territorial form of government for Hawaii is now the "unfinished" business before the Senate and will remain such until passed. A similar bill has been favorably reported to the House. At the fourth annual banquet of the SVest Viginia Republican Association, Representative Pearre, of Maryland, who spoke to the toast, "President Mc- Kinley—one good term deserves an other," aroused great enthusiasm by naming Senator Elkins as a suitable man for the second place on the ticket; also when he said that Wm. McKinley was the great constructive leader of the great constructive party of the country. The joint resolution providing for a constitutional amendment, disqualify ing polygamists for election as Senators or Representatives, and prohibiting polygamy and polygamist associations between the sexes, lias been favorably reported to the House by the Com mittee on Election of President and Vice President. Tho report says the proposed amendment to tho Constitu tion is designed to remove all doubtful construction of the law; that, while the House decision in the Roberts case established a precedent, it is not one of absolutely binding force, and a Consti tutional enactment is desired. Secretary Root, in response to a CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 1900. Senate resolution, Bent a statement of the receipts and expenditures in Cuba, for the year ending December 31, 1899. It shows total receipts to have been $16,346,015, and total expenditures (14,• 085,805, leaving a balance in the hands of the Treasurer exceeding ?2,000,000. True to the traditions of their party —destruction but not construction— the Democratic Senators in caucus had nothing more substantial to offer each other or the country, than a continua ti.ui of opposition to the Republican policy towards the new possessions of the U. S. In other words they object to the Republican policy but have nothing better to propose. Senator Aldrich stated the intentions of the Republican leaders in both branches of Congress, when he said: "We shall endeavor to finish up our work so that wo can get away about the Ist of June. We ought certainly to be able to adjourn before the Republi can National Convention meets on the 19th of that month." Bucklen's Arnica Salve .
