HRYAX. EDITORIAL fIENTION. \fter all is said the paramount issue Bryan vs. Business. The political party that encour ages labor strikes naturally lias 110 use for abitration. The wild predictions indulged in by Bryan show that despair has smothered his judgment. Bryan's soldier experience was not very extensive, but it equaled his experience as a business man. The Democrats say that our loan ing money to other nations is proof that times are not prosperous. They prefer to borrow than lend. Bryan's only possible chance of success rests on the effectiveness of Tammany's turn-screw and the Southern shotgun. The Hon. Joe Blackburn calls the Hon. John G. Carlisle a '• po litical hack." Comment in this particular instance would be super fluous. Bryan has an assorted collection of issues, but it should not be for gotten that they are silver-plated, ■sterling goods are not to be found in his shop. With a partisan judge in the switch tower the work of railroad ing Kentucky Republicans to prison goes on defiantly. Mr. Croker's •liberty" banners would be sadly lit of place in Kentucky. A thimble-full of anarchy, 111a vorod with State's rights, mixed with half a glass of free trade and til this poured into a tumbler near ly full of free silver, is the drink that is proposed in place of that exhilarating beverage composed of peace, prosperity and patriotism. <\re you a Flag-flyer or a Flag-furler ? Only a Damn Fool. An Ohio sheriff was taking a crazy man to the Columbus asylum the other (lay on the train. At the next station another sheriff with another lunatic got on. The sher iffs knew each other and got talk ing, placing the two crazy men in the seat before them. They also, of course, got into conversation ; one asking his neighbor where lie was going. " J am going to the asylum at Columbus," said Crazy No. 1. " "What is your trouble?" asked Crazy No. 2. Business reverses and heavy financial losses several years ago upset my mind and 1 have been gradually growing worse. Now let nie ask where yon are going?" '• AVliy, I am going to Columbus to enter an asylum too." "Indeed, what is the matter with you ?" '' Imperialism set me crazy." •' Imperialism! Thunder! You are not crazy at all, you are only a Damn Fool." IOPSTOIES. At Knoxville, Tenn., on B September 26th, 1896, Wil- m liatn Jennings Bryansaid: i "IF THERE IS ANY ONE WHO BE LIEVES THE GOLD STANDARD IS A GOOD THING. OR THAT IT MUST BE MAINTAINED, I WANT HIM NOT TO CAST HIS VOTE FOR ME BE CAUSE I PROMISE HIM IT WILL NOT BE MAINTAINED IN THIS COUNTRY LONGER THAN I AM ABLE TO GET RID OF IT." TWICE. At Zanesville, Ohio, 011 I September 4th, 1900, this I same Bryan, candidate for I the Presidency, said: * "THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY STANDS WHERP IT DID IN 1896 ON THE MONEY QUESTION.'' THRICE. At Grand Rapids, Mich., 011 Thursday of last week this same William Jennings Bryan said: "THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY IS FOR THE FREE COINAGE OF SIL VER AT THE RATIO OF 16 TO I WITHOUT WAITING FOR THE AID OR CONSENT OF ANY OTHER NA TION.'' How can any honest man in face of these positive and I repeated declarations claim g that "the money issue is not ■ in it this year?" § WHAT (JKOVKR ! CLLVELAM) SAYS:I If reckless discontent and wild experiment should sweep our cur rency from its safe support, the most defenceless of all who suffer in that time of distress and National discredit will be the poor, as they reckon the loss in their scanty sup port. and the laborer or workingman. as he sees the money he has receiv ed from his toil shrink and shrivel in his hand when he tenders it for the necessaries of the humble home. I will not believe that if our people are afforded an opportunity for in telligent second thought they will sanction schemes that however cloaked, mean disaster and confu sion, nor that they will consent by undermining the foundation of SAFE CURRENCY TO ENDANGER THE BENEFICENT CHARACTER AND PURPOSES OF THEIR GOVERN- Doubtful States are Turning to McKinley. Philadelphia Record (Dem.). There are indications that some of the States classed as doubtful are becoming less so, New York being among the most notable in stance. Many of the Western States can still be regarded as debatable, In diana and Nebraska especially so, but in others the Republican ma jority of former years will only be somewhat reduced. West Virginia is regarded as very close. Present indications shows 5,000 majority for McKinley. Jefferson M. Levy, the New York Congressman, declares Vir ginia a very doubtful State. The Democrats, he says, are apathetic, and may lose the State to Mc Kin ley. Happiness depends very much on tlio condition of the liver and kidneys.

Taggart. Oct CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1900. Pat Hogan and Bryan. " Pat," I said to Mr. Hogan, who runs our elevator, " I suppose you Tammany Irishmen are all going to vote for Bryan ?'' " No, begorry, thas a lot uv us goin' to vote again him." "And why?" 1 asked. " Because, sor, our Priest says Bryan has said a dozen times that he would call the soldiers back from Manila and lave six million half civilized Dagos to burn up our $20,000,000 worth of Catholic churches in the Philippines. And what would become of the 75,000 friars? What would become of our poor Priests and 1 lie thousands of Catholic converts? Why the Agui naldians would kill every Catholic priest and Catholic convert and burn every Catholic church on the island. Our priest said so on Sun day. Vote for Bryan ! It will be a sad day for our blessed Catholic religion when we vote for Rryan ! We don't care about Bryan's free trade and free silver, but do you moind now, the Oirish will niver give him a chance to have the free killing of 75,000 Catholics in Ma nila. You hear Pat Hogan."— Eli Perkins. Franklin Evening News.] As Others See Him. We have submitted a statement of the Con gressional situation in this district to a number of eminent Democrats. From several replies of like tenor we make room for the following from U. S. Senator McLaurin, of South Carolina: BICNNETTBVILLK, S. C., Sept. 28, 1900. Mr. 11. M. Irwin : DHAB SIB—I am in receipt of your letter ask ing my opinion as to what should be the conduct of a Democratic paper in your Congressional district in the contest between Mr. Sibley and Mr. Emery. It seems that both are Republican nominees, and, therefore, Democrats will, if they vote at all, have to make a choice between them. While I know nothing about your local poli tics or the political conditions existing in your district, I am well acquainted with Mr. Sibley, and have watched his course iu Congress for several years with great interest. 1 served with him in the House during the 53d Congress, and the speech he made against the repeal of the purchasing clase of the Sherman Act was the strongest and best made on the question. He is broad-minded, never a partisan, and is always willing to co-operate with any party on any cause for the betterment of all classes. No one can doubthis ability and courage. He is a valuable member of the House, and his retirement will be not only a loss to his State, but to the whole country. It seems to me, therefore, that Demo cratic duty would be discharged in advocating his election and voting for him. Yours truly, JNO. L. MCLAURIN'. —[Venango Spectator. The local view of our Democratic contemporary is supported in a more extended one by a Democratic United States Senator. The latter shows that Mr. Sibley has the same reputation wherever he is known. Senator McLaurin, of South Caro lina, knew him just as we know him—as a broad-minded man and an able man, and one whose cour age in the performance of what lie thinks right, and his honor to di rect him in determining the right, make him so worthy of the oftice he seeks that the best men among his opponents will be glad to see him elected. Is it a wonder that he will receive hundreds of Democratic votes, or that his election is prac tically as sure as that election day will come? A few soured political cranks whose high opinion of them selves has never been shared by their party have been going up and down the district relating their tale of woe to weary listeners for sev eral weeks, with 110 apparent en couragement (if success. They have heaped 011 Mr. Sibley all sorts of personal abuse, but memory cannot recall one item of proof offered to establish its truth. Every allega tion has been refuted and the ques tion is before the people of the dis trict whether they will give their votes to brand as unworthy of pub lic trust —a man who for years has enjoyed their fullest confidence, won by a life of honest industry, spotless integrity and big-hearted and open-handed liberality to needy humanity wherever he has found it. Emery's Shameless Confession. The two paragraphs printed be low are taken literally from Mr. Emery's Bradford speech of Sept. 20th, as published in all the Brad ford papers which support him for Congress : " It is true that we are on a fusion ticket in this Congressional district, but I want you to un derstand that the charge that I am a Democrat, so far as I am concerned, is absolutely and un qualifiedly false, and that lam a Republican. I am not pledged to the Democratic party." 44 1 understand that the Democratic party has no particular love for me, but that they thought I was the strongest man in the district, and that they could use me as the lash upon their whijH stock and punish Mr. Sibley, and «et revenge." Assuming that Mr. Emery is sane j and that a sane man will not pub- | licly slander himself, we accept the above as a true statement of his I position in this campaign. 11 iw sense j of shame at being called a. Demo crat may not stir up much enthu siasm in the party relied upon for j most of the votes to elect him, ! neither will 110 awaken respect for himself, in any man of any party, by the open confession of the con temptible use to which he has of fered himself as "a lash on the ! Democratic whip-stock to punish Sibley and get revenge." That confession will cause the blush of shame to Hush the cheek of everv ! honorable man in this district, j Why are the Democrats supposed to seek revenge of Mr. Sibley? He- ' cause ho became a Republican, j Who has volunteered to act as the instrument in punishing the man 1 who became a Republican? Lewis ! Emery, Jr., who claims that he is j now and always has been a Repub- | lican and delivers violent denun- j ciations against any man who in -1 timates that he is a Democrat. We are in a political contest. A prom inent Democrat comes over to the Republican side. Jlis former party 1 associates are angry about it. Out j steps Lewis Emery, "the last of 1 the Lincolns," the only scrap of , 1 political purity extant, and says to j the Democrats of the district, "tie me to your whip-stock and lash Sibley and get your revenge." Is ■ this Lincoln Republicanism ? Is ! tliis the way Lincoln received ! reinforcements from the other 1 side, in war or peace? In all ■ ages, in all countries, among all people, from civilized to savage, enemies voluntarily coming to them ; as friends have been received as such. It has remained for this ■ "last of the Lincolns" to volunteer to help his enemy punish his friend. ■ It is fortunate that he is the last of • | that kind. The meanest Indian j who ever hunted the woods around ■ Bradford, or the scurviest dog at his heels, would have scorned to ■ scalp or bite the man or beast that ■ offered friendship. Even the ven omous serpents may be so ap proached that being assured that no harm is intended they may be taken in safety in the hand of friendship. The offer of Emery to give himself as a lash for the whip . stock of a few vengeful Democrats to punish Sibley for coining over to the party to which he (Emery) claims to belong, is a violation of the highest and best instincts of God's creatures, from man who walks erect to the serpent which crawls upon its belly.—Bradford Star. "DEAR BOY" LETTERS. MY DEAR BOY: I want you to do a little work in pol ities before election. I want you not only to vote right, but to get two or three others to vote right. I know that your friend Morgan says that politi cians are all corrupt and that, if a man wants to turn out a grand rascal, all he has to do is to mix into politics. But, my boy, there are two kinds of politi cal workers. A little true story will show you. what I mean: In 1848, Martin Van Buren failed to get the Democratic nomination for the Presidency. lie and his friends bolted the ticket and he accepted the nomina tion of the Free Soil party His bril liant son, John Van Buren, went up into Massachusetts to make some Free Soil speeches for his father. Now with Prince John, as he was familiarly call ed, politics was a game. He had r.o 1 real, fixed, political principles. And it ; was a revelation to him when he got j into Massachusetts and found men like 1 | Garrison, Iligginson, John Brown and j ' others, of pure character and lofty i 1 ideals, whose very lives were laid on : I the altar in the cause of freedom. When j I he came back from his trip, he met a ! i friend in New York and the following 1 i conversation took place: "Hello, John; where have you been?" j "Up in Massachusetts, making Free ! I Soil speeches for father." "Did you find many Free Soilers up [ there?" "Yes, and d —nit, they believe it, too." My boy, this nation's safety depends largely upon the political work of men who work because in their very heart of hearts they believe that their politi cal principles are founded in truth and righteousness. That is the kind of worker I want you to be. Don't get down to anything mean or tricky, but work because you believe that the Re publican position is right, and that the election of McKinley and Roosevelt will be for the good of the nation and the good of the world. Now I will tell you what I want you to do. I want you first togo down and see Barney Crogan. They have been stuffing him with the statement that the Republican party is the rich man's party and that the Democratic party is the poor man's party. Ife sees the rich men and great corporations growing richer and they have told him that whenever a rich man grows richer it is at some poor man's expense. They have told him that the Republican pol icy makes"the rich richer and the poor poorer." | I want you togo down and tell him i that when a farmer raises a thousand I bushels of corn, the farmer is richer ! and 110 man is the poorer, but some | poor man will get the job of cutting I j that corn and be the better off. Tell ! I him that when a man digs a thousand ! | dollars' worth of gold out of the ground | ! lie is richer, but nobody is the poorer. Show him ihat there is such a thing as | a natural increase of the world's wealth j which benefits all. Tell him that in ! this country, whenever the rich are do- j j ing the best the poor are doing the best; I that when coal operators make money : miners have more work and better pay; ! i that when railroads and manufacturers ! 1 are making money labor is most abund- | j ant and receives its highest reward. I Tell him that tho Republican party is 1 ' the party tor all tho people, rich and i poor alike. Tell him that wo do not believe in arraying one class against another, but that all classes should | work together for the common weal. ! And then, point him to the results of j i McKinley's administration as proof of j j what you say. And keep poking thai truth at him until he sees it and prom ises to vote for McKinley. Then go and see Will Barton. A Democratic neighbor is trying to get him to trade on part of the ticket. Tell ! Will that this is not the year for a Re j publican to monkey with his ticket. 1 He will get it tangled up and twisted | till his ballot will not be counted if he lis not careful. There is too much at J stake this year. Tell him to let his Democratic friend vote as he will, but that this is the year for straight Repub lican votes. Do this, my boy, and then : vote right yourself, and when the news I of victory comes you can cheer with a j vim and rejoice that you have a share | in the glory. YOUR FATHER. A Damnable Insult. At the Emery meeting at Kane last Friday evening a banner was carried in j the procession bearing the inscription: "The Educated Swede Shall Not Con | trol Us." Shame on you! The Kane Republican, in commenting upon the outrage, says:"The introduction of nationality or religion into political affairs is always to be depreciated. An educated Swede should stand on the same footing as an educated anybody else. A man is worth just as much consideration as his manhood entitles him to, whatever country may produce his forbears. A staunch American : spirit is what the people should cherish, whether born in the breast of a native of Sweden or any other country; and the higher the development of Ameri can sentiment among them the larger the proportion which supports the party of pre-eminent Americanism, and the greater the Republican majorities." i No class of citizens have done so much 1 to develope the county of McKean and hundreds of thrifty farmers, comfort able homes and plenty of churches and schools has been the result of the in dustry and economy of the Swedes. Cameron county, we are pleased to say, I is proud to count among its inhabitants many Swedes, all good citizens, indus trious and respected. We only wish we had a thousand more of them in this | county. Reasons for the Drought. An exchange says:"ln talk the oth | er day about the season of unexampled ■ drought the fact was recalled that for : two or three months this spring cold high north winds prevailed day after ; day and week after week. Our readers will doubtless remember how long this weather condition endured and how tired we all got of it before it finally ended. Cold winds from Northern snow fields could bring no moisture and it was far to the south of us that ; these winds encountered the moisture : laden Gulf winds and precipitated rain, i We may be reasoning on insufficient j premises, but if another spring ever ! brings the same unvarying north winds j month after month, we shall naturally | look for a drv season to follow." Heller's Testimouy. Albert Heller, livingat 1114 Farnliain j St., Onialia, says:"l have tried most j everything that is used us a preventative 1 or cure; for headache, hut nothing did me ! so much nood as Krause's Headache Cap j sulcs. Others who have used them say j 1 lie - iiue thing." Price 25c. Sold by j L. (let GOOK-KEEPIA'G and SHORTHAND and all Business Branches. Positions for all graduates.

FOBERT, Hanager, Parsons' Bazaar, Emporium, Pa. THE EMPORIUM INDEPENDENT EDITOR S 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 speech and vote every measure that he knew was the demand of the common people. Heis 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, hut 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 cam;).
