Po money-making careers attract college men more than formerly? LTn „ • doubted! v, the The Potent-}- o 1 croat power which Money. • .1 money j>i\es 111 tins materialistic age is a great temptation 1o college-Tared men. The great for tunes which have been made in recent years, the tendency for great corpora tions to combine in colossal enter prises, and the enormous salaries paid in large institutions for efficient man «gement, have undoubtedly turned a great many college men into business channels who would, otherwise have chosen professional or literary ctreers. Xever before, in the history of the world, says Success, lias the power of money been so potent as to-day; and never before have the temptations to enter business careers been so great. But it is true that the most distin guished statesmen, novelists, poets and historians are college-bred men. Halt a century ago, the college graduate ■was much more conspicuous, and at tracted much more attention than to day, from the fact that a college educa tion was not only rare, but the young men who were able to indulge in such a luxury were. <is a rule, the sons of prominent families, social and financial leaders; but now nearly everybody's sons and daughters goto college, while Ihe masses are becoming well educated through the daily press, magazines and periodicals, and home study. The young men of to-day are too finicky- too much given to self-anal ysis, too self-pampering. Their shoes and neckties cost much more each year than did the entire wardrobe of their grandfathers. They feel a sense of degradation in small beginnings and plodding, and tliey wait for success ready made to come to them. There is not u young man in the country, says Ibe Memphis Commercial-Appeal, v\ho would imitate lien Franklin and march through the streets munching a loitf of bread while looking for employment. He dare not, indeed, because society has also become finicky, and he would be arrested as a tramp. The young man of to-day wants'capital. Trusts and combines and corporations distress him. He cannot be president of a bank or judge of a court the first week he is from school, and he feels, like the famous Eli Pussley, that he has "no chance." Dr. .T. W. Snow, of Atlantic City, has an Jrish setter dog which was recently run over and badly mangled. Keeling sure that the animal would die, the doctor began to experiment upon it ■with morphine. To his surprise the tetter is slowly recovering, but mean time has apparently become a con firmed morphine fiend, showing the same symptoms when denied the drug for any length of time as are exhibited by the human victim. A Muneie (Ind.) woman the ot.her day seized her three-year-old child, supposed to be dead, and rushed about the room in a frenzy, insisting the child must live and refusing to have it pre pared for burial. In a few minutes she exclaimed that it was alive, which was found to be true. A physician says the child was probably resuscitated from a comatose state by the mother's fran tic action. Two months ago the city council of Montgomery, Ala., passed an ordinance requiring that the street car company provide separate seats for white and colored passengers. The company gave the white the forward seats, making 110 difference as to comfort or conven ience. Now the colored people are boy cotting the cars and the company's re ceipts have fallen off alarmingly. The American Society of Professors of Dancing having decreed the doom of ragtime and the hop step, during the coming season there will be a return to the old-fashioned tunes and the once honored glide step. Even the two-step will be danced legato, remarks the Huffalo Commercial, which will have its joke. One of the summer sights in Boston: A stout lady, belted with a superb belt, on a large plate exactly at the back of which was engraved, in conspicuous let ters, the name "Emma." As she moved along the street, grand, gloomy and peculiar, the small boys set up behind her a shout of "Whoa, Emma!" CHAIRMAN JOKES' TRUST. Democratic Lender llolilo Cotton (•inner* liy the Thront Mr. Hr>mt Unlet About It. Senator .1. K. .Jones, chairman of the democratic national committee, is a defendant in a proceeding brought un der the anti-trust law of Texas. He has company in his trouble. John E. Searles, well known in Wall street as one of the biggest "trust magnate*." is .1 eodefendant. The Texans have placed these two genitlemen under tire because they are Jhe heaviest stockholders in. a concern known as ihe American Cotton com pany. John K. Searles is president of the organization. The chairman of the democratic na tional committee says his company i.* but a "large business concern," but the Texans and Texas is democratie state —think differently. It is charged that the Jones-iSearle-s icombination constitutes a conspiracy against law ful trade and free competition*. The American Cotton company is a monopoly if tihere ever was one. .Vol only is it entrencihed behind $7,000.01 u capital stock, but it is fortified by pat ents which exclude the possibility of compel i t ion. NicoH's Stock Mxchange Handbook, e recognized authority, says: "The \merican Cotton company is a corporation which controls the pat ents foi machinery and processes in making round lap bales." "Controls"—that word itself is sug gestive of till e "octopus," It is the word over which Mr. Hryan fumed in his St. Louis denunciation of trusts. Every cotton ginming plant in the south must have one of the machines manufactured by the American Cotton company. They save time and money The cotton pinner must make his ar rangements with the Jones-Scarle.- combination. It has exclusive posses sioll of the field. The ginner must come to the terms of the combination. He can deal no place else. He cannot even buy independence from this $7,000,000 combi nation. The American Cotton company re fuses to sell its product. It leases its machines. The manufacturer attache one to hi* plant and yearly pays trib ute tn the American Cotton company. So great are llie profits of this com bination that in a short time the eon cem lia> bei n in existence Senator Jones i* said to have risen from tin e-tate of a comparatively poor man un til he is now regarded a* a millionaire. And the southern gin tiers continue to swell t he bank accotin t of the democrat ic campaign manager. William Jennings Bryan in. hi" de nunciation of trusts at St. Louis gave a list of the great corporations of the country. I! 111 he left out the American Co.tton company and the American Ice company. The others he denounced. Hut these two great democratic or ganizations he ignored. He ex claimed: "Those who attempt to diivide pri vate monomJies into good monopolies and bail monopolies will never make any progress toward the overthrow of Trusts." Therefore Mr. Bryan w ill not succeed as a trust Smasher. Even in making his division in mo nopolies. Mr. Bryan showed strong dis crimination. He specified such con cerns as the Federal Steel company. Vet this combination is only one of several iron and steel companies in the country. No one is forced to do busi es* with the Federal Steel company. There are the American Steel and Wire company, the Republic Iron and Steel company, the National Steel company, the Carnegie company, and there are ot hers. But Mr. Bryan made his division in favor of the American lee company, which hadi absolute control over the prices in New York city, and which, last spring, turned upon the poor of the tenement house districts and added to its wealth by the suffering of the poverty stricken; and Mr. Bryan also makes his division in favor of a concern which is so strongly fortified that every cotton ginning plant in the United States is forced to pay tribute to it. It depends, when Mr. Bryan de nounces trusts, upon whose ox is being gored. DRIFT OF OPINION. Bryan insists that we now j have the double standard. What in i creation is he kicking about then? — Detroit Free Press (Dem.), St. Louis Republic announces that "the omens favor Bryan." In one respect, however, the omens are like the women. They don't vote for president. —Chicago Times-Hera Id. £3"The only two men whose appoint ment to cabinet posit ions is regard* ed as certain in the event of Mr. Bry an's election are John P. Altgeld and Samuel Gompers.—Chicago Tribune. ItTCol. Bryan says we cannot secure title to a people by force or by pur chase. According to this theory we must have acquired Louisiana anil Texas on a Christmas tree. — St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Fairbanks, of Indiana, who has been in the western states carried by Bryan in IMiG, brought back the same story. He reported that Kansas was surely republican this year, and he thought Nebraska was also. cy.\ Missouri paper tearfully be wails the fate of tlie poor American boys, when the soulless money power begins to develop the Philippines. "Save the boys!" cries this newspaper. "Preserve for them the heritage of simplicity." Iteally, the idea that American boys prefer to be clerks in stores in rural Missouri, at seven to ten dollars a week, to earning $l5O a month as employes of \merican con cerns developing Ihe Philippines is something keenly humorous.—Kansas C'ity Star. CAMERON COUNTY THURSDAY, OCTOBER 11, 1900. ' DEMOCRACY NOT CHANGED. | 111.- Elerllon <•( 110 an Would Urine liuck tbr llrri' '1 i Itt c m ol IMKI-IIU. AYhat would lie the effect upon the workingmen of the elect ion of Air. lirj an? A return tn all the conditions of 1 MU-96 and worse. Why? " Because the conditions which pro duced the depression and lack of em ploy mint in those years would lie re peated in intensified form. The repub licans assert that the business depres sion on that bcoasion was due to the low tariff, either in fact or iti pros- I peet. while the democrats assert that it was due in part at least to the Sher man silver law. Accepting either or both of these assertions, will no* the election of Air. Br vail produce eomli tions .just as bad arid probably worse? If the panic of 1 Sfl.'t was due in part to the Shermar. law it was because of a fear that the credit and currency of the government could no't be sustained, and yet Mr. Hryan. who specifically an nounced in If.Hi i hat if elected he v\ould put the count rj on a silver basis, is now announcing. as iie did at Zancs vi Me. <•.. a few da \ s a fro. that "the part \ stands where it did in IMI6 on the money question," and is making- his canvass on a platform which reiterated the main financial heresies of IStIG.

Whether it w ill stand as the s:id climacteric, or wheth er its record will be surpassed by the record of future nights, depends upon whether the shaken confidence of the mercantile and manufacturing cliasses can be restored speedily. Never before since Chicago had a name and a place among cities was it in such ail evil ease that, after the station houses and all the charitable institutions were crowd ed to excess, there was an overflow of a thousand penniless, shivering and hungry men sheltering from the storm of a winder's night in the city hall and' fighting with the ferocity of brutes for a few mouthful* of bread. We do not care to comment upon the sad story. It is its own comment. Narrated in the plainest words, it is horrible. It needs no other adjective. The famished, frozen crowd was not made up of tramps. It was made up largely oif honest men who would be industrious could they find work to do.—Chicago Inter Ocean. December IS. 1893. Mr. Ilrynn linn Vol Answered, The Young Men's Republican club of Kansas City has addressed an open let ter to Mr. Bryan, in the course of ivhich these questions are asked 1 : "You urged your friends in the sen ate to vote for a treaty which gave us sovereignty over a people without their consent, and who were then in open.re liellion against us, The determination of the civil rights of the inhabitants of the islands' was left to be decided by congress. Would you, Mr. Bryan, ig nore these provisions which you assist ed in adopting, sail away from the Phil ippine archipelago and turn the gov ernment over to a murderous horde who are now in rebellion against the government and authority which you assisted in forming'. 1 " Mr. Bryan has not answered, (or the reason that he consistently cannot. IT? - Any prominence given Mr. <ior man in the campaign will be sure to direct attention to the fact that it was he who started the fight on anti imperialism when he opposed the ratification of the I'aris peace treaty.

IS'Mi. the date of Mr. Bryan's first nomination for the pres idency, and July 5, 1900, the date of his nomination, this year, the price of ten of the principal farm products in creased 45.8 per cent. There was not a single decrease in price of these ar ticles, which include wheat, corn, oaits, lard, mess pork. beef.cotton, wool, hay and butter. Against this the increase of the articles bought by farmers was only 10 per cent. There was an actual decrease in the price of sugar and tea. and small increases in the price of rice, sisal, iron, petroleum, tin plate, leath er. sugar and cotton cloth. In every case a bushel of wheat will buy more to-day than it would four years ago. These statements are aill official and can be verified from the public records. The assertions of the democrats and Mr. Bryan four years ago that McKin ley's election would bring misery have in every ease been disproved. The farmers know the difference between distress and prosperity, and they are not likely to vote to bring about that old condition. Tlryiin'n Supporters Denounce Him. The Memphis Commercial-Appeal, a journal which is supporting Bryan, does not lake the views of that .leader on the Philippine question. In a recent issue, it said: "The value of the Philippines to us in a commercial way and in a political wnv is revealing itself to the Ameri can people in spite of those who re fuse to see. Politicians who prate about 'imperialism' are known as poli ticians. and they are bringing them selves to a point where few credit what they say—where their utterances are looked upon as irresponsible blab bering." tt s 'The gold standard men who reck oned without Bryan's silver fanati cism are to be pitied. But there is yet time for repentance. He has stated the immediate and truly para mount issue, and there is no excuse for misapprehension.—Chicago Post. "Tfcfni'i the Rulen."

Don't you understand?" The waiter picked up the bill of fare and began looking it over. "I don't know if we have or not. If we have, it's on the bill; if we ain't, you've got to pay extra for it.

Of all the diseases known with which the female organism is afflicted, kidney disease is the most fatal. In fact, unless early and correct treatment is ap plied, the weary patient seldom survives. Being fully aware of this, Airs. Pinkham, early in her career, gave ex haustive study to the subject, and in producing her great remedy for woman's ills—-Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound was careful to see that it contained the correct combination of herbs which was sure to control that fatal disease, woman's kidney troubles. The Vegetable Compound acts in har mony with the laws that govern the entire female system, and while there ere many so called remedies for kidney troubles, Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege table Compound is the only one especially prepared for women. The following letters will show how marvellously successful it is: Aug. 6, 1899. " DEAR MRS.
