Times are so good that Coin Harvey
has been able to purchase a farm.
Mr. Tillman pitchforked just once too
often when he attempted to bulldoze Mr.
Hanna.

The Democratic "Boxers" have left
Washington and are preparing to take
the stump.
If Europe should suddenly blaze with
war, where would we get ships to carry
our exports?
The Democratic party never had any
sympathy to expend upon the brown
men of the South.
t i
The greatest national problem now to
be solved is the upbuilding of our ship
ping in the foreign trade.
The Democratic party always was
opposed to those millionaires who don't
contribute to its campaign funds.
Gen. Joe Wheeler is finding it hard
work to serve his county and maintain
his place in the Democratic party.
It is everywhere conceded that there
will be nothing to prevent the early
passage of the shipping bill at the next
session of Congress.
+ +
Tammany is striving hard to protect
its dishonest officials. The protection
of official dishonor is a favorite Demo
cratic practice.
+ +
During the last ten years we have
bought from foreign countries an aver
age of 777,134 tons of sugar each year.
Most of this has come from countries
that buy little from us.
Senator Frye, the presiding officer of
the United States Senate, says that one
of the first bills to be passed at the next
session will be that for upbuilding our
merchant marine in the foreign trade.
+ +
+ +
Ex-Governor James E. Campbell ap
peals to the Democrats to drop the
issues of 1896 and turn their faces to
the front. The chances are that the
party will continue to face gloomward.
•112 -f
The possibility of a great European
war draws public attention to our al
most entire dependence upon foreign
shipping for our foreign carrying.
Such a war would deprive us of ships
and strike a frightful blow at our export
trade.

On July 1, 1896, under the last Dem
ocratic administration, the per capita
of money in circulation in the United
States was §21.10. This year, on June
1, it was §20.71 per capita, an increase
of $5 61 for every inhabtant in the
country.

Missouri wants President McKinley
ra-elected. Frank B. Moore, editor of
the Daily Herald, of St. Joseph, says:
"Democracy has nothing to offer to the
public," but he predicts that the dinner
pail brigade will turn out solid for Mc-
Kinley in November.
Business evidently continues good in
all the Western, Northwestern, South
ern, Southwestern, and far Western
States, according to Bradstreet's re
turns of the bank clearings for May and
for the first five months of this year.
In New York the clearings for May
were less than in the same month last
year, owing to the dull condition of the
stock market. But outside of New
York the returns from all sections of
the country show that the bank clear
ings for May were §12,000,000 greater
than a year ago.
In an earnest appeal for the passage
of the ship subsidy bill, Hon. Arthur i
Sewall, the Democratic candidate four
yea/s ago for the Vice-Presidency, says: |
"It is time that we brought the mari
time power of America to the old hon- |
ored position it held before the Civil
War gave it a setback from which it j
has never since recovered."

While our temperance friends are
agitated over the establishment of the
canteen, they might remember that the
consumption of spirits in the United
j States was 1.33 gallons per capita in
1894 under President Cleveland, and !
j only 1.10 gallons in 1898 and 1.15 gal- I
j lons per capita in 1899. The consump- j
tionofbeerin 1894 was 15.18 gallons
! per capita; last year it was 14.96 gallons
i per capita.
The Treasury Department has used i
about $ - 23,000,000 of its surplus, and will
! use about $25,000,000 more, in refunding
high priced bonds, thus making a sav
i ing in interest to the Treasury Depart
| ment. On this account it was not
' deemed advisable to reduce the war
revenue taxes at the last session of
| Congress. The Committee on Ways
! and Means, however, has obtained leave
j to sit during the recess, and should the
j present rate of surplus continue, a bill
to reduce the revenue will be pushed
i through at the next session.

Senator Quay Retires.
Last Wednesday, the New York Sun
, said: "It has the best authority for
5 making the announcement that Senator
j Quay will retire and within abrieftime
publish a letter defining his reasons.
! Among these, it was said, will be that
! he does not care longer to participate
j in a struggle which has already depriv-
I ed Pennsylvania of having her full
j representation in the higher house of
i the National Legislature, and also that
I he is weary of strife and wishes to en
| joy the remaining years of his life in
peace without being affected by the
| turmoil of politics. This action relieves
I the political situation so far as the Re
publicans in this State are concerned.
' The factional divisions on Quay and
! anti-Quay lines will disappear and the
mantle of leadership so long held by
| Senator Quay will not descend on any
j one man's shoulders. A united Re
publican party will enter the campaign
lor the Presidency in Pennsylvania
this fall."
The Fence Law.
For the information of all we publish
the following law in regard to fencing:
On the 4th day of April A. D., 1889, a
| section of the act of 1700 was repealed,
i The result of this repeal was, to require
i every man owning stock to take care
of the same himself. Prior to that time
the law practically required the owner
; of lands to fence the same with good
land sufficient fence, for the purpose of
preventing his neighbors' cattle from
| trespassing upon his lands. The reverse
lof the case now exists. The owner of
; cattle must protect them himself from
1 trespassing. It does not matter wheth.
I er a farmer has his lands fenced or not;
I his neighbor cannot permit his cattle to
j run at large, and thereby trespass upon
j another's lands. It he so permit his
cattle to wander at large, and they
commit a trespass upon land, whether
the same be fenced or uninclosed, the
owner of the stock is liable to the party
owning the land upon which the tres
pass was committed. Hence the rights
of the parties may be stated as follows:
The owner of stock is responsible for
any damage committed upon the lands
of another, irrespective of the question
of fences. This is the general law ob
taining on this question.
FREE EVERY WEEK.
The Most Magnificent Series of Pict
ures Ever Distributed.
The appreciation of the recent pict
| ures given free to readers of the great
Philadelphia Sunday Press has induced
I the management of that paper to an
j nounce that a beautiful picture will be
given with every copy of the Philadel-
I phia Sunday Press every Sunday. The
j assurance is also given that this series
| of pictures will be the most magnificent
ever distributed. The subjects are all
original and by the highest class of
; artists.
The picture for next Sunday, June
24, will be a decided novelty. It will
be 14x20 inches in size and its prominent
j feature will be a reproduction of Percy
j Moran's famous water color, "The Ideal
j Summer Girl." Everybody knov-s
Moran and his Summer girls, so that
this picture is certain to be immensely
1 popular. It will have added value by
■ the fact that in one corner will appear
i an artistic calendar for July, something
| that everybody will prize. It will be
well to order next Sunday's "Press"
: early.
Price of Coffee (ioes Up.
Arbuckle Brothers, at New York,
have advanced their brand of package
j coffee one-eighth cent a pound, making
the price 11 cents. The price for the
brand controlled by the American Su
gar Refining company will besimiliarly
advanced. The move is interpreted by
Wall street people to mean that the
i coffee interests of the two leading
t packers of cofree are being worked on
the basis of a mutual understanding, by
which each of the leading brands has a
special field and that competition is
ended.
CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, JUNE 21, 1900.
Theflreat Rhoda Royal Shows, which
are billed for this town, is certainly
entitled to patronage. Every town or !
city in which this gigantic amusement
enterprise has been seen this season, its
spacious tents have been filled by the
best of the amusement loving public.
The features are certainly calculated to
please, and this tact coupled with the
carefully considered reputation of the 1
show in general, has established for it a
record that cannot fail to recommend it
Ito all. Manager I. V. Strebig says:
j "The Great Rhoda Royal Shows intend
! to win for itself a reputation solely on
i its merits. We make no promises we
i do not fulfiill; advertise nothing we do
j not show; and give a clean, pure show,
I at which not the least offense can be
I taken. We want the public to toil us
j of any shortcoming and we make them
I our critics. Our employees must be
| courteousand always study the interests
lof the people and our own." At Era
| porium, Juno 22.

Would Not Suffer so Again for Fitty
Times Its Price.
I awoke last night with a severe pain
in my stomach. I never felt so badly in
all my life. When I came down to work
this morniug I felt so weak 1 could
hardly work. 1 went to Miller & Mc-
Curdy's drug store and they recommend
ed Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy. It worked like
magic and one dose fixed me all right.
It certainly is the finest thing I ever
used for stomach trouble. I shall not be
without it in my home hereafter, for I
should not care to endure the sufferings
of last night again for fifty times its
price.—(l. H. Wilson, Liverymnn, Bur
