Saturday Evening Post. What is the meaning of the continuous rush to the cities? The old explanation was that farm ers' eons and daughters wearied of work that was never finished; they had heard of city demands for labor and of city wages, payable always in cash and at stated dates. They had also heard of city pleasures, some of V'hich were said to cost nothing, while others were very cheap. But young people do not constitute the whole body of people who are crowding into the cities, for mechanics and artisans of all kinds are in the throng, for in the villages and country districts em ployment is irregular and pay uncer tain. The more aspiring of them hope for the larger opportunities and rec ognition that the countrj- dares not promise; they know, too, that such of their children as incline to study may become fairly, even highly, edu cated in the city without special cost to their parents. Of the "seamy" side of city life they know nothing, for their acquaintances who "went to town" have not returned to tell of it; few of them could return if they jvoukL The few who go back to the old homesteads are the men who have succeeded, and in any village Buch a man in effect resembles a gold laden miner from Cape Nome or the Klondike; his example threatens to depopulate the town. Nevertheless, the rural districts are not going to be depopulated, except when their soil is very poor and their malaria over rich. A countryward movement start ed in some cities a few years ago, and It has been increasing in volume; it may be almost invisible in some local ities, for 3,000,000 square miles is an area so great that any city's overflow might be lost in it. The men who are trying scientific farming are all from the cities and they have carried their city ideas with them. As a rule, city brain and city money are suggesting and backing the rural attempts to have good roads, pure water, perfect drain age, high farming, high-grade schools, free libraries and many other amel iorations of old-time conditions. Yet in one respect the city man in the country is a disappointment to all classes of the dissatisfied, for when they talk of going to the city lie per sistently says "Don't," and he sup ports his advice with a dismal array of facts and figures.

The novel injunction was issued by Judge Tuthill on the allegations that Mr. and; Mrs. Miller andi Agent How ard were objecting to the use of the laundry-room each Tuesday by the occupants of the second flat. Mrs. Miles declares that it is in accordance with the prevailing custom in flat and apartment buildings for the occu pants of the flrst flat to have the use of the common laundry-room on Mon day of each week, and that a similar privilege on Tuesdays is accorded by custom to the occupants of the second flat.

(lien. Randall Deacrlben Condition* In a I'IIIIKIIIK «iold .Mining tamp. Washington, Nov. 5. — Brig. Gen. fieorg< M. liandall, commanding the Department of Alaska, lias submit ted 'lis annual report. A great deal of liie report is devoted to conditions at Nome, which he found upon his arri val at a critical stage. It was dii'i eult to obtain convictions i»,v ,i llr .y trial in the United States commission er's court which emboldened the law less. Fully 18,000 people arrived at Nome in .June. Claim jumping was the or der of the day. Nearly every one seemed to think he had a divine right 10 take possession of a claim fir town lot wherever found. Many property owners were disposed to defend their lights by taking the law in their own hands. The arrival of troops pre vented bloodshed and serious disor der. There were 500 men working on the beach at Nome with machinery at one time and many declined io give, answers concerning the prospects for gold, while others admitted tiny were j taking out only from $4 to $0 a day. | The beach was practically worked out last year. The tundra is believed to be rich, but it would require large « apital to produce results. There is a Jorge area of country which has not fi en prospected, where gold can yet be found, but it Requires men °* ex " rerience to develop such a country. Gen. Kandall also has Ihe following to say of relief to men who venture to Alaska; "I am of the opinion that 11 would lie a mistake for the govern ment to give any general aid in future to the venturesome classes of white men who come to Alaska. About 300 have been sent out on transports and other vessels this year and many more will be sent before the close of . navigation. The conditions are now generally known throughout the states and the expectation of govern ment aid in returning to their homes in case of failure has without doubt 1-een the most hopeful prospect in view to a considerable number who have come to the country since 1897, and especially in the recent rush to Nome." IT MARKS AN EPOCH. Tlio Cuban Constitutional Convention , Assemble* In Havana, Havana, Nov. 6.—The Cuban consti tutional convention met in Hie Marti theater Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock. Long before that hour the i theater was crowded. Many thou sand.-! were unable to gain admittance. • ien. Wood and his start, accompan ied by (ien. Fitx.hugh Lee and his staff, received an ovation on entering. Senor Cisneros and Gen. Kiverc es corted Gen. Wood to the platform and he opened the convention. "As military governor of Cuba and representing the president of the Uni ted States," he said, "I call this con vention to order. It will l>e your duty first of all to frame and adop." a constitution for Cuba and. when that has been done, to formulate what in your opinion ought to be the relations between Cuba and the United States. "The constitution must be adequate to secure stable, orderly and free government. When you have formu lated the relations which, in your opinion, ought to exist between Cuba and the United States, the govern ment of the United Stales will doubt less take such action on ils part as shall lead to a final and authoritative agreement between the people of the ■■wo countries to the promotion of their common interests." Before withdrawing Gen. Wood ap pointed Senor Figuereo, under secre tary of state, as temporary chairman. The convention organized with Senor Llorente, justice of the supreme court, as president.

CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 1900. PROSPERITY ARGUMENT. Hlr. Bryan It »v»» the Mont Po> tent Factor Leading to tbe Urlrai oi tbe Democracy. Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 0. — William J. Bryan last night gave out the follow ing statement concerning' the elec tion: "The result was a surprise to me and the magnitude ol the republican victory was a surprise to our oppo nents as well as to tliose who voted our ticket. II is impossible to anal yze the returns until they arc more complete, but, speaking generally, we seein to have gained in the large cit ies and 1 o have lost in the smaller cities and in the country. "The republicans were able to se cure tickets cr passes for all their voters who were away from home and ibis gave them considerable advan tage. We ha\e no way of knowing fit this time how much money was spent in the purchase of votes and in coloni zation. lint while these would account for some of the republican gains, they could not account for the wide spread increase in the republican vote. The prosperity argument was probably the most potent one used l>y the republicans. They compared present conditions with the panic limes of '93 to '!> C and this argument had weight with those who did not stop to consider the reasons for the change. The appeal, 'Stand by the president while the war is on' had a great "leal of influence among those who did not realize that a war against a doctrine of self-government in the Philippines must react upon us in this country. We made .in honest tight upon an honest platform and, having I done our duty as we saw it, we ha\e nothing to regret. "We are defeated, but not discour aged. The fight must goon. I am sure that republican policies will be iepudiated by the people when the tendencies of these policies are fully understood. The contest between plu tocracy and democracy cannot end until one or the other is completely triumphant." Concerning himself Mr. Bryan said: "I have come out of the campaign with perfect health and a clear eon science. I did my most to bring suc cess to the principles fcr which I stood. Mr. Stevenson did all that lie could; Senator Jones and the mem bers of the democratic, populist, sil ver republican and anti-iinperialist committees did. all they could. Mr. Hearst and bis associates in (lie club organization put forth their best ef forts. Our newspapers. our campaign speakers and our local organizations all did their part. I have no fault to fnd and no reproaches. "I shall continue to take ail active interest in politics as long as I live. I believe it to be the duly of citizens to do so. and in addition to an interest as a citizen I feel that it will require a lifetime of work to repay the polit ical friends who have done so much for me. "1 shall not be a senatorial candi date before the legislature which has been elected. Senator Allen deserves file senatorship which goes to the populists. Mr. Hitchcock and Mr. W. Tl. Thompson are avowed candidates for tiie senatorship. They both de serve well of the party and I air. 100 ! grateful to them for past support to stand in their way. even if I desired a seat in the senate." Mr. Bryan said be has no other plans al present than to remain at home until be had recovered from the fatigue of campaigning. He denied the report that he would remove from Nebraska and make Texas his home. A STEAMSHIP COMBINE. A Deal Ik Said to be Pending tliat In volve* Several t'ompanle* and 'lany JVlllllon* ol Ilollorn. Baltimore, Nov. 9.—Rumors were current Thursday concerning a com bination of trans-Atlantic steamship companies which will invoive several companies and many millions of dol lars. It was said that the Atlantic Transport Co., which operates lines of steamships bet ween New ork, Philadelphia. Baltimore and London will be a part of the combination. Color is given to the rumor by the strength of Atlantic Transport Co. stock on the exchange yesterday. There was an active inquiry for it on the hoard, but the only sale recorded in the early dealings was ten share--, at 150, an advance of 15 points com pared with the last preceding sale. Since August 30 the stock has risen 45 point s.

ELECTION IN AMERICA. Salisbury Says Britons Should Rejoice Over the Result. SATIRIZED THE WAR FEVER Taken All In All, the Premier'* Ad <l re*« «'a*t a (.loom Over ilie Itun <iuet, (be .<■<>»( Mrllllant of All Social Function* In l-jinlanU. London, Nov. 10. —What is probably the most brilliant of all public func tions in England, the lord mayor's banquet, took place last evening'. It will be memorable even to Americans by reason of the following remark able utterance of Lord Salisbury, who, in the presence of 900 guests, including United States Ambassador (hoate, the members of the British cabinet and many of the leading men of Kngland, spoke hj follows of the American elections: "We believe that the cause which has won is the cause of civilization and commercial honor. We believe those principles to be at the root of all prosj>erity and all progress iu the world. Therefore we claim that we have as much right to rejoice in what has taken place as the distinguished gentleman (referring to Mr. ('hoate) who sits at my side." This was followed by loud and pro longed cheering. Except in its references to the ("lu ted States, the speech of the premier cast an extraordinary gloom over the gorgeous banquet. Following direct ly after the colonel commanding the City Imperial volunteers, Lord Salis bury startled nis hearers by satiriz ing the war fever, although praising the courage of the soldiers and de claring that the passionate admira tion of military valor evidenced by the populace must produce a change of attitude 011 the part of the outside world when viewing English charac ter. Then, with lowered voice, he went 011 to speak of the price of victory and the ravages of death, dealing es pecially with the queen's bereave oient in the loss of Prince Christian \ ictor. Finally he uttered a hope, almost a prayer, that Lord Roberts might, be spared the sorrow now hanging over him by reason of the critical condition of bis daughter. Tears sprang to the eyes of women, and men moved uncomfortably in their seats. The silence and solemn ity grew oppressive. The premier reviewed the events of the last 12 months. Mr. Kruger and the empress of China, he went 011 to say, had forced war upon Great Brit nin. He maintained that the British war office deserved great credit for the way in which it had handled these emergencies. 'Despite nebulous and fictitious at tacks, we should be glad to improve all the defects of the war office," be continued, "and our utmost efforts will be devoted to that task; but I should rather deprecate any unneces sary examination into what has oc curred. You will not add to the en thusiasm of your troops by so doing." He maintained earnestly that the idea of invading China with "our scanty force," or "of approaching the stupendous task of governing China instead of leaving it to be governed by the Chinese," was most dangerous. Relapsing into pessimism. Lord Sal isbury admitted that the trend of re cent events has almost put an end to 1 ;ie hopes of the Russian emperor and others who took part in the peace conference at The Hague. Ilis speech closed with a fervid appeal fo the peo ple of England to maintain their de- Censes in such a perfect condition that "we shall not be exposed to any sudden interruption of tliepeaee upon which our prosperity depends." The majority of Salisbury's hearers believed that this warning referred to ilie possibility of French antagonism. Tivn Hlsr Strike* Fueled. Pittsburg, Nov. 10. —Officials of the Amalgamated Association of Iron and Steel Workers announce tne settle ment of the strikes at the Riverside iron works, of the National Tube Co. and the Bessemer (Ala.) plant of the Tennessee Iron, Steel and Railroad Co.

For Infants Years # The Kind You Have Always Bought THE CENTAUR COMPANY, TT MURRAY STREET. NEW YORK CITY. HOW WEAK CHILDREN ARE MADE STRONG, VIGOROUS AND WELL_ Mr. and Mrs. Thomas nnllows, of Peckham St., Globe Village, Fall River, Mass., have cause to thank Dr. Greene's Nervura for restoring to health, and probably preserving the life of their little son. Almost from infancy Everett Hallows was troubled with indigestion and nervous troubles, and nothing seemed to help him. Finally Dr. Greene's Nervura was recommended and tried with success. A few bottles were suflicient to effect a cure, and to-day the little one is enjoying the best of health. By the use of Dr. Greene's Nervura the sickly child was transformed into a happy, hearty, robust boy. Or. Greene's Nervura Thousands of other children can thank Dr. Greene and his wonderful remedy for the strength and health they enjoy. Children to whom it is given have less sickness, better health, better growth, and longer and more vigorous lives. Barents should realize that it is their duty to give it to every child who is not in perfect health. There are no diseases more dreaded by parents than fits, epilepsy, and St. Vitus' dance. Yet no child would be troubled by them if Dr. Greene's Nervura were given when the first symptoms appear. Charles L, Mcßay, a highly esteemed police officer, who resides at 14 Myrtle Sim, New Bedford, Mass., says: " About two years ago my little daughter became run down in health and suffered from St. Vitus' dance. Soon after she was prostrated by rheumatism, which severely affected her low limbs. "After trying various remedies without obtaining relief, she began taking Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy, and experienced immediate benefit. She continued its use, and after taking five bottles her rheumatism was practically cured. Her appetite returned, her pains disappeared, she was again able to walk without lameness, her general health was restored, and she was able to attend school and to play like other children." Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy, is the prescription and discovery of the well-known Dr. Greene, of 35 West 14th Street 5 New York City, who is the most successful specialist in curing all forms of nervous and chronic complaints, and he can be consulted in any case, free of charge, personally or by letter. ■ 1 j-i r|f „ J JAn Expensive "1 lp » 2 is the one which you cut off and 2 • throw away every time that you 2 0 smoke a Five Cent cigar.
