The righteous government of King David built up the nation, but the po litical wisdom of his son Solomon, led only to folly and destruction. This is ever true, no man ever yet advocated a dishonest cause or turned the crank in on the side of envy or spite that he did not go down in the fall of the unrighteous principle. A few weeks ago I stated that I would not vote for Bryanism, either directly or indirectly, nor would I sit on a platform with Bryanite stump speakers. I did not mean just on ac count of the free silver idea which Mr. Bryan foolishly insisted upon and which not only died a natural death itself, but helped bury Mr. Bryan and nearly killed the whole Democratic party; by Bryanism, I meant that grater and fundamental principal of envious spite and hate which still ex ists between the narrow and more in capable portion of the classes and masses. To shorten the bridge be i tween capital and labor, should be the [ earnest endeavor of all public men, the public schools and I am much in clined to say the ministers in our churches. Ido not think a clergyman should take an active part in the political questions which divkle our people into two great parties, but it certainly is his duty to preach, that the church knows of no time in a man's life when it is right to lie, steal, or insist on de bauching the manhood and moral in tegrity of his fellow citizens. The bridge between capital and la bor can be shortened in only one way; that is for the employer and the em ployee to treat each other fairly and as brothers, and both brothers to recognize capital as their best friend. Now I just want to say that I am un alterably opposed to anything that stirs up strife between the classes and the masses, because strife widens the gap in all mental, moral and political structures, and nothing but good-will can shorten it. Bryanism stands for the former and against the latter. | The wealth of a farmer depends upon the improvement of his land and his cattle, The earnings of a railroad de pend upon the enterprise and activity of the country; the income ofa capital ist or a bank depends upon the success I of the borrower, and the success of the manufacturer depends upon the pros perity of the purchasers. The manufacturer and the store keeper are contractors trying to supply the needs of the world; the capitalist is the man or woman who loans money at interest and there are laboring men in this and many other towns who j loan money to the Pennsylvania Rail- J road. The world's capital, manufacturers i and labor are dependent upon each| other, and enjoy the greatest blessing when each and all are prosperous; I these conditions are best when the best good-will exists between them. Will | you help increase this good-will in the world ? The attempt is honorable to a minister, profitable to a capitalist and i a blessing to employer and employee, j Our people are intelligent and inde- j pendent enough to vote as they please \ and if they will lay aside prejudice i and spite we will have forty times four | more years of prosperity and peace. | Respectfully, JOSIAH HOWARD, j Finger Cut Off. Bing Hemphill came homo from Tidioute last week to nurse a couple of sore fingers. While Bing and an other young man were engaged cutting ( a board to fix a feed box—Bing hold-1 ing the board and the other lad using j the axe, the handle of which caught in j his clothes and threw the tool into ' Bing's fingers, cutting the first finger on the left hand entirely off and al- j most severing the second finger. The ! injure member is healing as fast as can t be expected and it is hoped he may soon be able to resume his labors. EDITORIAL CORRESPONDENCE. The editor of the PRESS has been en ; joying (?) the novelty of serving Uncle Samuel as juror in U. S. court at Pitts burg, during the past ten days, receiv ing $2.00 per day and paying §3.00 for board, yet there are many who wish I they could be granted the privilege. Well, they can have my place, and my best wishes if I could only get away. Get excused, did you say friends Auchu and Hill? I guess Cameron county jurors have played that racket so suc cessfully that in the future all persons drawn "must serve to the close of the war," and will not fare so lucky as you did. This is our first visit to Pittsburg since 1891 and the many changes are wonderful to behold. Then the hun dreds of manufacturing establishments used natural gas for fuel, yet the city was enveloped in smoke. The im mense increase of manufactories has drained the gas belt to pueh an extent that soft coal has again come into gen eral use and the blue sky is a thing of the past. White shirts are no good in this city and everything looks black and dirty, yet the average Pittsburger smiles when you call attention to the dirt or smoke. Those not familiar with the city are sure to have soiled linen, black hands and often faces of the same black, streaky smut color. Hotel carpets are always a black, greasy color. What town would not suffer this inconvenience if they could only have one-thousandth part of the business enjoyed by this city. Just think of the hundreds of mills, furnaces and factories within a radius often miles of Pittsburg employing almost 200,000 wage earners. Prosperity has struck this section and new sky-scrap er buildings are being rapidly erected, and go where you may you will see from three to four stories being added ito what are now big buildings. Capi tal is seeking investment rapidly, and new towns are being "plotted," sur , veyed and springing into existence within three or four months. Alleghany county, with a population of over 775,000, will march forward more rapidly within the next five years than she has the past ten years. The railroads entering the cities of Pitts burg and Alleghany are looking out for expansion and during the next two years millions of dollars will be ex pended in improvements, new cars, en gines and a grand union depot are under consideration. Every branch of business is booming. Great is Pitts burg and the county of Alleghany. ! Greater still are its men of wealth who j are daily donating large sums of mon i ey to afford every advantage to the , poor boy or girl desiring to fit them selves to any vocation. Only last week ' Andrew Carnegie donated §3,000,000 more for institutions of learning for ; Pittsburg, in addition to former mill | ions expended for the city where he made his hundreds of millions. One might write for days of the interesting | points of grandness and the great men I of Pittsburg, but I have not the time at j my disposal just now to enlarge upon the subject further. The opportunities I presented the citizens of Cameron | county to cheaply enjoy a day's outing | in this busy section are many. Between the hour* of duty I have | looked up a number of former Empo | riumites, now residing here and engage |ed in business. Hon. Fred C. Conard, of Coudersport, United States Marshal for this district, resides here with his family and is a popular officer. He always greets his friends from the I Northern Tier cordially and takes | pleasure in making his friends feel at | homo. Dr. J. W. Snyder, also of Coud j eraport, but formerly a citizen of Em- I poriurn, is located herewith his family, ' j filling the responsible position of depu- i ; ty to Mr. Leonard and is one of the j j most efficient men in the service. I ( Thomas C. Johnson, son of our friend j Hon. J C Johnson, is located here and is associated with a prominent real es- tate agency. We are pleased to note how well he is looking and also more than pleased to say he is a wide-awake business man and occupies a position of prominence. Another Emporium young man is climbing up the ladder— Harry Ness. He and his family reside at Bellevue, one of Pittsburg's suburban towns. Mr. Ness is the Buffalo, Ro chester & Pittsburg Railroad's right hand man in this city and holds a very lucrative place. We enjoyed a visit of short duration with his family and found them nicely situated. Mother Hirsch, the PRESS readers will be glad to learn, is exceedingly smart and wishes to be remembered to all of her old Emporium friends. We called upon Mr. and Mrs. E. P. Cummings, who reside at Bellevue, but were former Johnsonburgers. Mrs. C. was formerly Miss Mary More,of Beech wood and will be pleasantly remem bered by many of the PRESS readers. Mr. Cummings is engaged in the in surance and real estate business in Al leghany city and enjoys a large busi ness. He is a hustler and is bound to succeed. I met upon the street yester day, John Farrell, an Emporium young man who is attending commercial college here. He will return home for the Holidays, although he has already been tendered a position in this city. Alfred J. Niles, son of Judge Niles, of Tioga county, who visits Emporium and Sizerville Springs quite frequently, is assistant solicitor of this city. He is a visiting member of the bar and very popular here. There are many more Emporiumites in this vicinity but I have not had an opportunity to see them. I expect to return home this week, feeling greatly benefitted by my enforced vacation and ready to buckle down to business again. Full of new hope for Cameron county and its good people I am ready to help push forward. H. H. M. Pittsburg, Pa. Nov. 2C, 1900. The Ithica Concert Co. Under the auspicea of the First SI. E. Church this capable company will ap pear in the Court House, Tuesday even ing, Dec. 11. Jubilee Singers. Slayton Jubilee Singers will be the next attraction in the People's Course, Wednesday evening, Dec. 12. They are the leading colored Bingers in the country and a crowded house will greet their appearance. Correction. We mentioned last week that Dr. F. C. Rieck was going to leave us, but the Dr. informs us that he will not move before spring, and that he may change his mind by that time and not move at all. We hope he may conclude to re main here. Large Apple. Jos. Lechner has on exhibition in his store window, a large apple, sent to him by Frank Ayers, who is now in Portland, Ore. Mr. Ayers says this is a sample of the large fruit they grow in that state. Took a Tumble. E. G. Strait had a miraculous escape from being badly injured on Tuesday. A ladder on which he was fixing the spouting on the Central hotel, col lapsed, letting him to the ground. Outside of a few slight bruises and a small cut on the head he received no serious injury. Brought Here for Burial. The ten months old child of Joseph Robison, of J ohnsonburg, was brought here Monday morning for burial. The mother of the child is a daughter of Mr. John Lawson of Howard Siding, and is well known by many of our peo ple who sympathize with her and her husband in their hour of affliction.' Robbed Again. The store of J. E. Smith at Sterling Run was broken into last night and several hundred dollars worth of goods stolen. The burglars gained an en trance by cutting a pane of glass out 1 of the door and unlocking the same i relocking it after they secured all [ the valuables they wanted. A Painful Accident. Last Monday afternoon, while at work at one of Howard & Co.'scamps, David Kirkpatrickof Beechwootl, sunk the blade of an axe through his left ; foot, completely splitting it and sever ing one of the toes from the foot. He was brought to town on the log train and comfortable quarters given him at the Cottage Hotel where Drs. Baker and Smith dressed the wound and ad ministered the necessary medical ap plication to alleviate his suffering. At this writing he is doing well, al though it will be many days before he will be able to swing another blow like that which disabled him. TERMS: $2.00 —$1.50 IN ADVANCE. WEATHER REPORT.
