Emporium Fire Department Substan
tially Remembered.
EMPORIUM, Pa., Sept. 29, 1900.
The Cameron County Press:
MR. EDITOR— We wish to publicly
express our appreciation of the Empo
rium Fire Department. We have al
ways tried to be liberal in our encour
agement and support of their noble
and unselfish volunteer organization,
but now that we are indebted to them
for the third time we wish to present
each company with fifty dollars, not as
a matter of payment for the amount of
property they saved for us but as an
acknowledgment of their cheerful good
will in prompt service aud the many
expressions of friendliness toward our
company at the time of the fire.
Very respectfully and thankfully,
C. B. HOWARD & Co.
We also acknowledge the services of
the press in printing this letter.
A Possible Democratic Congress.
Senator Allison has just been
making a speech in lowa, where he
opened the Republican campaign.
In the course of that speech he
made it apparent that should Mr.
Bryan be elected President, the
House of Representatives would
surely be Democratic, while there
would be a strong possibility that
the Senate also would be in friendly
relations with him. Mr. Allison
figured it down in the Senate to the
tune of one vote, says Philadelphia
Inquirer.
Do the Pennsylvania Republicans
understand what that means?
It means simply this, that should
Bryan be elected Pennsylvania
might be placed in the position of
furnishing the single Republican
Senator who would save the coun
try from a terrible panic under
Bryan. And yet the eminently re
spectable gentlemen who work with
the Municipal League are willing
tc with the Democrats
and elect members of the Legisla
ture togo to Ilarrisburg and oppose
the Republican organization.
No Mugwump, no Bolter, no In
surgent can be elected to the United
States Senate from Pennsylvania.
Either a stalwart Republican will
go there or else Colonel Guffey, the
boss of the Democratic party in
this Commonwealth, will go there.
Do the Republicans of Pennsylva
nia want a man like Guffey to rep
resent them? He is a good enough
man in his way, but he is a Demo
crat, a follower of Bryan, a believer
in free silver, and should Pennsyl
vania send a Democrat to the
United States Senate, that Demo
crat might deliver the casting vote
in favor of turning the whole
country over to Bryanism.
We do not care anything about
the personal ambitions of individ
uals. We simply contend that the
interests of the United States de
pend for the next four years upon
the election of McKinley and the
election of a Republican Congress.
We do not care how men inside of
the Republican party may differ
among themselves. If they are
Republicans every one of them will
accept majority rule and will vote
for candidates of the Republican
party both for Congress and the
Legislature.
This is no year to wash dirty
linen and to cut-throats. This is a
year when the real Republican will
refuse to bolt, will refuse to join
hands with Democrats and will
vote the straight ticket.
Sibley's Course Upheld.
Senator Emery'* Bradford Record, April 3, I'JOO.
There are a very few Democrats who
come down pretty hard on Mr. Sibley for
entering the Republican fold; but, bless
their souls, they do not really mean one
half of what they say. it is what ali good
Democrats do sooner cr later, and Mr.
Sibley is just as good a Republican as he
v/as a Democrat. This district could not
have a better representative in Congress
than Mr. Sibley is proving himself io be.
He represents the whole people and the
whole people will return him for a second
term.

LI-BILL. —Step up, gentlemen, and see the wonderful "What-is-it," captured after a wild cliase by a band of panic-stricken Demo-
Popocrats. It has the head of a donkey, the body of an elephant, independent legs and Populist whiskers. Talks fluently about Egyot
and California, but when challenged to discuss the issues of the day, it becomes speechless and "colicky".
MCKINLEY IS OUR /IAN.
McKinley's fame has had a boom
Since ever it began ;
No silver crank can win this year
McKinley is our man.
From North to South his fame resounds,
And every breeze doth fan
From sea to sea this glad refrain,
McKinley is our man.
There's not a chance for Colonel B.
To get his "Aunty" clan
In sight of Washington, because
McKinley is our man.
So let him hustle after votes
And get them if he can,
But on election day he'll 11 nd
McKinley is our man.

Pumpkin pic and apple cider!
Cut 'er loose and open wider !
Ain't no time like fruitful autumn !
Rick'ry nuts in river bottom !
Who said fall was melancholy?
Just the time to be real jolly !
Stir that steaming apple butter;
Fry them doughnuts, hear 'em sputter.
See the trees with apples laden I
See the buxom country maiden !
Scenes of plenty, bliss Arcad'n.
Sparkling eyes and rosy features !
Joyous, blessed, happy creatures!
Apple snitz and pumpkin slices-
Eggs and butter bring good prices!
Gran'ries full and runnin' over;
Bulgin' liay-mows, sweet with clover.
Country sausages ! Goodness, landsakes!
Hurry up them buckwheat pancakes.
My, oh, my! But don't we pity
Poor folks livin' in the city!

Fast Time to Philadelphia.
The Pennsylvania road is determined
not to be behind the New York Central
or Lehigh Valley, and the Pan-Ameri
can Flyer will be the means of transit
between Philadelphia and this city
within a short time.
Past running on the W. N. Y. & P.,
since the Pennsylvania secured control
of it, has awakened the sleepy folks
along its route and the citizens rejoice
over the new order of things.
Conductor Hod Hale, probably the
oldest conductor running out of Buffa
lo on any road, is in control of train
No. 108, which makes the run from
here to Emporium in three hours.
This is wonderfully fast running, as it
will be remembered that the time for
merly used was five hours. This
greatly delights Mr. Fellows, who for
years urged an improvement in the
service and who did all he could to
cater to the wants and wishes of Buf
falonians.—Buffalo News.
The K. G. E., of Cameron, will give

HIGH REGARD FOR MR. SIBLEY.
"No man of standing will sustain
a small fry politician very long. Mr.
Sibley's record in congress stands
out above almost any other member
of that body as the champion of the
people's rights. He supported by
J speech and vote every measure that
' he knew was the demand of the
common people. He is the especial
, representative of our old soldiers in
fighting for every measure that per
mitted more liberality at the hands
of the government. He may be said
to be constantly paying pensions
out of his own pockets, not as an
annuity, but as temporary relief,
and when our late soldier boys went
to the front, Mr. Sibley, out of his
great generosity and sympathy,
went down into his pocket and con
tributed to the comfort of the boys
even while in camp. When in con
gress he donated every cent of his
i congressional salary to the ad
vancement of Agriculture in his
district and to the labor organiza
tions "
Has Faith in Americans.
At the opening of Syracuse Univer
sity, Chancellor James Roscoe Day
made an address, in which he said to
his students, among other things:
"I never lelt the real size of an Amer
ican citizen until this summer. You
can have no appreciation of the tre
mendous land of which you are citizens
and its awful responsibilities until you
have traveled it. The greatest charge
I that is yours is the inheritance of young-
American citizenship. I wili not ex
' press the thoughts of the hour, for they
are at present the all-engrossing ques
tions of a political campaign. Hut
| young Americans who could take the
j vast territory west of the Alleghenies
j and civilize it and make great wealthy
| States out of it, are capable of guarding
! every foot that has come under the
| stars and stripes. Nothing is too vast
I for a people whom God has blessed as
jHe has ours. Our country is founded
| upon a rock and is not to be moved by
i a drifting crowd of demagogic blather
skites."
The Kentucky Colonels, who are
I booked for Teachers' Institute October
! 17, are immense, judging from the fa
i vorable press notices before us. The
Atlanta Constitution says:
"A male quartette of the finest voices '
heard here in a long time. They drew
the largest audience of the season, and
■ were lionized socially and shown many
courtesies." (

My son take advantage of your school

you are old it will not depart from you.

| A literary man knows nothing and
