Secret* of (lie
a special run waa
Pie Foundry. „ iade on tLc
pumpkin pies, and 1 looked in vain for
any signs of pumpkin rinds. One of
the foremen grinned and told rne, in
strict confidence, that real pumpkin
was never used in pumpkin pies at
present, except possibly in a few re
mote and vcr primitive New Kn gland
villages. The substitute was a mixture
of sweet potatoes, apples and cheap
flour, flavored with a chemical extract.
1 tasted some of the stuff and was sat
isfied he was telling me the truth.
Cranberry pie contains only enough
cranberries to 'make a showing,' after
the manner of tlie oyster in the church
fair stew. The rest is apple jelly,
colored 1 red and flavored. I have for
gotten the other substitutes employed,
but these will give you a general idea
of the morality of the business. The
average output of the foundry was one
a second, or about 36,000 pies for a
working day. The manager told me
they were shipped all over the pie belt
in specially prepared crates."
The following from the pen of an
optimistic philosopher in an eastern
exchange is severe but true: "The
pessimist is a robber. He enters your
home and steals away the sunlight.
He meets you on the street and he
robs you of the feeling of content
ment that crept into your veins when
you noticed that the day was fine
and clear. I cannot tell you just how
he does it—liis ways differ so—but
you know well enough that he does.
The pessimist criticises your friends,
and his own. And can you think of
anything more depressing than to
have the little shortcomings of the
folks you like discussed? These lit
tle shortcomings you have long ago
recognized, and you do not need any
one to point them out to you. He
sides that, you are generous enough
to want your friends to appear wall
in 111'- eyes of everyone else. Hut
trust the pessimist for throwing the
worst light upon them possible."
The recent epidemic of typhoid fever
in an orphan asylum was traced' to
germs brought in on apples. This
should warn housekeepers, if further
emphasis is needed, of the risk in s< rv
ing unwashed fruit. At every corner
grocery the tempting fruits now so
abundant are displayed uncovered, of
fering the best sort of catch-alls fort he
germs of the street and air. In addi
tion they are handled by none too
clean fingers, carried through the
streets in unprotected baskets, and toe
often transferred directly to ice-boxes,
in which they may stand, perhaps, next
to open vessels holding those excellent
absorbents, milk and butter. The aver
age cook resents any reflection on her
care of the food that is to be served un
cooked. The vigilance and paitience of
the mistress, however, that, will be
needed to enforce her regulations in
this regard are a small price to pay
for the additional security to the
health of her family.
A photographer at Seneca, Kan., re

groups that everstood before a camera.
In Centralia there is a woman who is
living with her second husband 1 , hav

other day the divorced husband'visited
the town and called on his former wife

pulse, the woman proposed that all
three should have their pictures taken
together. Ihe husband's had no objec

photographer, where a likeness was
taken with the woman standing be

BRYAN'S POOR PLEA.
Clame* All \\ h<i Voted Aantiixt Him
(a I'l u to<-rata i»a«l Flout*
Anirrlran In(«• lllitciii'C.
The most noticeable thing about
Mr. Bryan's statement in defeat is
that it contains not one word about
the. free ami unlimited coinage of sil
ver at the ratio of 16 to X. Was ever
silence more significant? Is he, too,
at last convinced?
'Passing to th» things that he does
say, the statement has not the viru
lence of an Altge'£ and is perhaps
as philosophic as we should expect
from a person in the writer's predica
ment. Its flimsiest part is the para
graph in which he refers to the pur
chase of votes, colonization and su
perior facilities of the republicans for
sending absent voters to their homes.
Of this he is himself conscious, since
be admits that the imaginary repub
lican gains from such sources are far
from explaining the landslide.
He goes on then to recognize the
potency, of the prosperity argument
and of the appeal to patriotism,
"Stand by the president while tlie
war is on," which proves that he is
not wholly lost to the power of
analysis, but the analytical faculty is
fatally missing when he intunes the
old song: "The contest between plu
tocracy and democracy .cannot end
on til one or the other is completely
triumphant."
It is really amazing that a man of
Mr. Bryan's intelligence should classi
fy the 8.000.000 citizens who voted
against him as plutocrats and ibe
7,000.000 citizens who voted for hir:i
as democrats. In a country of uni
versal manhood suffrage this is equiv
alent to saying that "the masses" arc
in the minority, a most glaring and
absurd contradiction in terms.
Pursuing the analysis further, it is
clear that Mr. Bryan is entirely at
fault as to the condition of the Amer
ican masses. He assumes that it is
one of poverty and distress, when as.
a matter of fact it is one of a general
diffusion of comfort such as was
never known in any other country or
in any other epoch. That is why the
experiment of popular government
continues to be a success here in
6pite of the mischievous efforts of
demagogues and fanatics to make rev
olutionists out of the unfortunate, the
vicious and the discontented.
When a savage campaign against
property is begun and destruction is
announced to he the policy of the
democratic party it follows, of course,
that the thousands upon thousands of
democrats who enjoy an honorable
competence as the reward of their la
bors and economy will repudiate the
party for the time being. In this
there is no .distinction of class, be
cause the majority of our people,
whether they are republicans or dem
ocrats, belong to the class of workers
and savers. Neither is there any ob
literation of political distinctions,
since the rebellious democrats con
tinue to differ from republicans on
many questions of public policy. But
there is a common and justifiable dis
trust of the tendencies of Bryanism,
whose import Mr. Bryan himself fails
to realize. That was the prime rea
son for his defeat.—Chicago Times-
Herald.
HUMBUG CRY OF FRAUD.
Slanderous linpn In I ion of Alticelil
Denied by a Democratic
Journni.
Kx-Gov. Atlgeld elevates his raven
voice to cry that McKinley was elected
by fraudulent votes throughout the
country and that •}(!•,0(X) fraudulent votes
for Mr. McKinley were cast in Cook
county, 111. This is childish if not im
becile. It indicates a miid form of
mental aberration on political subjects.
The charge is a slanderous imputa
tion on the characters of all the mem
bers of the election boards in the 1.200
election precincts of Chicago. There
are C.OOO members of these boards, one
half of whom are democrats. The
charge amounts to an allegation that
3,000 democratic election officers in Chi
cago conspired with 3,000 republican
election officers to place 40,000 fraudu
lent votes in the ballot boxes.
There is one democratic watcher and
one r.publican watcher at the polling
place in each precinct. The watchers
are selected by the party committees
because they are persons of high integ
rity. devoted to their respect ive parties,
and of peculiar sagacity, especially in
the detection of frauds. Mr. Altgelu's
allegation is a charge against every
democratic watcher at the polls of the
1,200 precincts in the city.

CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 1900.
VICTORY FOR THE NATION.
The Iteelectlnjc of President MrKin
lej la u Triumph of the
Whole People.
The more the democrats consider
tin- recent election, the more clearly
will they see that their party is, if
the present, influences continue para
mount, in danger of ultimate extinc
tion. Mr. Hryan carried only four
northern states, unless the official
count shall show that he saved Ne
braska. Put at. the present writing
the only northen states that are sure
for him are Colorado, Nevada, Idaho
and Montana, with a comparatively
insignificant total of voters and a
total electoral vote of 13. This is, in
deed, a pitiful showing. From ocean
to ocean there is an unbroken array
of McKinley stales. The great raid>-
dle west is solid against Bryan. The
Pacific states have repudiated the
party that lie led. Kansas and Ne
braska have broken away from him.
Even the old solid south has been in
vaded by the republicans, who have
carried Delaware and Maryland in two
successive presidential elections. Ken
tucky is uncomfortably close. The
ever-faithful New Jersey is lost.
There has not been a democratic vic
tory, or anything approaching it.in
Indiana since 1602. All that is left
in the north are the little states we
have mentioned. As the vote of the
south is wholly without political sig
nificance—for the southern people
would have voted for any democratic
candidate on any platform —it will be
seen that the nation is practically

unanimous in support of President Mc-
Kiniev.
We do not refer to these facts for
the purpose of exulting 1 over them.
Nothing is further from our purpose.
Hut we do wish to impress on ail
democrats the extreme seriousness of
the situation in which they now find
themselves. Men may argue about
causes, and differ as to means and
methods, but they cannot shut their
eyes to facts. We have set them
foith as they actually exist. V.'e
believe that they prove that there is
no hope whatever for the democratic
party under its present leadership.
Eight years ago the party carried
New York, Connecticut. New Jersey,
Indiana. Illinois, Wisconsin, Delaware.
Maryland. West Virginia, and gjt
eight votes in California, and one in
Ohio. All are now lost. Is not the
inference irresistible? There is no
reason why the democratic party
should not command the confidence
and support of the country. If admin
istered the government for a great
many years, and did it, well. In spite
of its mistakes during the civil war.
and notwithstanding its dalliance
with slavery, it promptly recovered,
making a great fight in 1876, and elect
ing a president in 18S4.
Clearly there is something wrong.
For our part, we have 110 doubt as to
what the trouble is. It will be well if
democrats everywhere learn the les
son which the election returns teach.
If the democratic party i.s again to be
come a national party it must return
to its old principles, which are and al
ways have been national principles, and
appeal, not to one section against an
other, or to one c'ass against another,
hut to the whole people. It ought to
fill democrats with a sensp of shame,
and Mr. Bryan with the deepest re
morse, to think that only four states
out of the great, rich and progressive
north, in which elections are free and
the people vote according to their con
victions on national questions, should
lie found in the Bryan column. —In-
dianapolis News find.).
generally accepted verdict is
that Mr. Bryan is completely discredit
ed as a lead r. From one calamitous
defeat he has led us to another even
greater. It would he insane to think of
tiie continued leadership of a man w ho
has twic" failed to carry his own pre
cinct. not to say the country. It is well
enough to pass around the usual kind
ly words heard at a funeral, but it must

MAKERS OF THE VICTORY.
Work of llniinn mid Ills Aaao
elate* in the Keeent
Cain IIHIKU,
The man who has endured the hard
est knocks in this campaign is justly
entitled to the warmest congratula
tions.
We refer, of course, to Hon. Marcus
Alonzo Hanna, of Ohio. He has added
to a fame that was previously unique.
He has proved by his management of
a second presidential canvass that it
was strict science, not luck, that dis
tinguished his successful proceedings
on the former occasion. At the same
time, by judicious and satisfactory per
sonal contact with his fellow citizens
on the stump h - has given them a new
idea of his actual self.
The truth about Hanna —not merely
the campaign truth, but the truth be
tween campaigns and at all times —has
been stat dby nobody more accurately
than by that observer of character who
originally discovered what was the
matter with Kansas. Writing for Mc-
Clure's Magazine, Mr. William Allen
White remarks:
"Hanna Is a representative American.
Mr. Hryan, emotional, fanatic, raw, rep
resents American moments when mob spir'.t
rages; but Hanna. with his apparent faults,
which he does not deny nor his friends try
to conceal, and with his undeniable virtues
—thrift, Industry, practical sense, a cash
register conscience, fidelity, love of truth;
with his efficiency, and that covereth a
multitude of sins; with his sense of humor,
that anchors him to sanity—Hanna Is a
walking, breathing, living body of the
Amt rican spirit."
So far as mathematics can supplant
psychology, the returns this morning

OPINION OF A DEMOCRAT.
It emii 11 of the National Election
an Viewed It > James H.
Mel* <»ls.
Mr. James 11. Kekles. who was a dis
tinguished member of President Cleve
land's official family during the second
term of that democratic executive, ex
presses himself as follows regarding
the result of the national election:
"Thedefeat of Mr. Bryan, decisive as it Is,
means his complete elimination sis a factor
in national politics. It means for the demo
cratic party a riddance of populism and a
reorganization upon democratic lines, it
mear.s l'or the country no more class strife
engendered and encouraged by politicians
tor seliish purposes. It moans for the coun
try's business a larger volume upon a bet
ter basis. It is the greatest blessing this
country has had in many years, a lit clos
ing of the last year of the nineteenth cen
tury. lam delighted that it has come about
largely through democrats who know how
the interests of the country could best be
conserved ar.d their party saved lrom com
plete annihilation. In a financial sense the
Importance of the defeat of Mr. Bryan is
not to be overestimated. The country re
pudiating for a second time the financial
heresies for which Bryan stands makes
more emphatic Its position in line with the
grvat commercial nations of the world. We
wlvl goon to newer and greater victories In
competing for the world's business. VV«
will have less and less attacks made upon
successful ventures. The demagague will
not soon again be dominant in political par
ties, but business ciuestions will receive
treatment from a business standpoint and
the business man's suggestions be given a
respectful and candid hearing. Such a gain
Is a great thing for the nation and the in
dividual."
This view of the downfall of Mr. Bry
an is significant in that it expresses the
opinion of the element which led the
democratic party up to the time that
the free-silver doctrine turned the
party into the paths of populism. The
democratic party known to Tilden and
Kandali, Bayard and Hendricks, Cleve
land and Palmer, is the party which
most rejoices in the present defeat,
which points to a return of tlie demo
crats to those principles of finance and
of government which inspire confidence
and bring party success.—Chicago Rec

Pretty faces and graceful forms of young women ! Why is it they are so
soon replaced by plainness and lankncss ? It is because the young girl just
