Victim of Judl

light in Indiana. A man who has for
19 years been confined in jail, at Ihe
expense of the nation, has, during all
these years, been in receipt, or intend
ed receipt, of ;t considerable sum of
money from this same nation. It is
because the man fought in the great
civil war that the complication was
made possible, explains the New York
Herald. At least, his services in bat
tle were responsible, in part, for the
situation. It once occurred to the man
that after having fought the good fight
for freedom and unification, it might
be the graceful thing for the country
to recognize his worth by a money con
sideration, so he putin an application
for a pension. It was allowed, and the
man's name was written on the book
of fame, after which he was entitled
to dollars. Shortly following this
period, another man passed onto the
great beyond, under circumstances
which the coroner's jury considered
called for the trying of somebody on a
capital punishment charge. It so hap
pened that the pensioner was the per
son fixed upon as Ihe active agent as
sisting in the earthly exit of the de
ceased. Although the pensioner stout
ly maintained his innocence, the proof
was so strong as to lead the jury to a
verdict of guilty, and the committing
judge to a sentence of life imprison
ment. This was in the year ISSO, and
for 19 years the pensioner worked out
his destiny behind the bars. At the
conclusion of this time, the man who
had committed the murder took to his
last bed, and it occurred to him ?o
make a confession. So the pensioner is
free now. But he still has troubles.
There are some thousands of dollars in
pension money which the wardens
have failed to turn over to him, and he
is obliged to sue for their recovery.
Besides, there are the wasted .19 years,
because of the implicit judicial faith
in the infallibility of circumstantial
evidence.
There is little doubt that farm la
bo( offers a surer subsistence than the
average labor of the cities. But it
holds out no such dazzling prizes, and
what is probably the most powerful
reason, very truly observes the Pitts
burgh Dispatch, it offers no such in
ducements to the gregarious instincts
of humanity. To the average young
men the lights of city streets, the so
ciety, even of the street corners, the
occasional chance of a theater per
formance are better than the loneliness
of a secluded farm. On no other the
ory can the desertion of the farms for
the uncertainties of city life be ade
quately explained.
Once, say sa New York contemporary,
when an enthusiastic young chairman
at a large meeting in Harlem, was
making an earnest and sincere, but
very flattering speech in introducing
the late Henry George, the latter, sud
denly leaned forward and poked the
chairman in the back with a walking
stick he had found beside him. The
chairman chopped off in the middle of
a word, looked behind him, hail a whis
pered conference with the philosopher,
turned back to the audience and said,
quietly: "Air. George don't want ine
to get the rest of that off," which
tickled the assemblage into spasms of
laughter.

THE PLOT IN MARYLAND.
Olafranrlklailvik Illiterates a Scheme

I.OM( Ground.
An increasing number of democrat
ic conspiracies are on foot to carry
elections by tampering with the bal
lot. The new disfranchising law in
Maryland was conceived and passed
in the interest of the democratic par
ty. When questioned concerning it
Mr. Gorman enlarges on the subject of
illiteracy, lie ignores entirely the
real purpose of the law, which is to
secure his own return to the United
States senate. Mr. Gorman was re
tired from the senate two years ago
and is not enjoying his release from
the official "courtesies" in the prac
tical utilization of which he has had
few equals. lie spent 14 years in the
senate as one of its subordinate offi
cials, beginning as a page. He was a
member of the senate from Maryland
for three full terms, ending March 3,
1899. Mr. Gorman's senatorial experi
ence covers :t!2 years, and it is admitted
that no man living is more deeply
versed in the usages and peculiarities
of lhat body, lie is particularly keen
in handling' whatever personal suscep
tibilities can be found in a coordin
ate branch of the government consist
ing of 90 men.
The country has run along and pros
pered without Mr. Gorman in the sen
ate. Gorman i•> not necessary to the
senate, but he feels that the senate is
necessary to Gorman. So he has pro
cured the passage in Maryland of a
law disfranchising illiterate voters,
the most of whom are colored men and
republicans. If the case had been
otherwise Mr. Gorman, of course,
would have left the question of ifliter
acv severely alone. It is estimated
that Maryland has 25,000 black illiter
ates, nearly all republicans, and 18.000
white illiterates, two-thirds of whom
are democrats. These figures give a
net republican loss of 19,000 votes.
Mr. Gorman and his friends believe
that this reduction in the republican
vote will insure the election of a
democratic legislature next November
and restore him to the legislative
body with which he is. in a certain
sense, so profoundly familiar. Wheth
er Mr. Gorman can devise some elec
toral bypath, some ancestral condi
tion by which the 18.000 white illit
erates may be spared, is a point as yet
unsettled.
In the year 1895 a perfectly fair elec
tion law was passed in Maryland. Tt
was drawn up by the Reform League,
an organization of able and patriotic
citizens belonging to different parties.
A republican legislature and a repub
lican governor made it a statute. Since
it went into force five general elec
tions have occurred in Maryland, of
which four were won by the republic
ans. All were absolutely fair. Last
year MeKinley carried the state for
the second time and all six of the re
publican candidates for congress
were elected. The republican plural
ity on president was 14,000. Mr. Gor
man's disfranchising act, if all goes on
as he anticipates, gives his party a
margin of 5.000 votes. While the cal
culation is close, Mr. Gorman is con
fident that he now holds the winning
cards. His eloquence on the subject of
illiteracy is merely incidental. He has
embarked in the growing business of
making the ballot secondary 1o the
exigencies of the democratic party and
its individualities of the Gorman
stamp. St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
DEMANDS OF CUBA.
Infliirnrm nt Work Wliicli Will Op
erate Auiilnxt the Ural Inter
of Ilie Country.
The Cuban constitutional conven
tion's refusal to adopt the pro
gramme of Ihe Piatt amendment
makes no change in the situation, for
the reason that the other party to
that situation is not the American
president, with whom the Cuban or
ganization is dealing now directly,
but the American congress. The
Piatt amendment is a rule by which
the. administration is bound, and be
fore it can take a step in another
direction than the one therein pre
scribed congress must be heard
from.
The action of the Cuban conven
tion indicates influences at work
within it which must be deplored, as
made up of other elements than un
alloyed interest in the good of Cuba
and friendliness to this republic. We
firmly believe that the motives at
work were distinctly different, and
we must accordingly hope that time
will replace them with others more
conducive to the advantage of the
two countries.
If Cuba is dominated by a spirit
which refuses to accede to the most
reasonable requests of the nation
through whose military power and
sacrifices she was delivered from a
humiliating and exhausting tyranny
of centuries' standing, what is this
country to do?
Such a spirit denotes more hostil
ity than friendliness. For that very
reason we are constrained to believe
that it does not denote Cuba truly,
but that it is an error which subse
quent reflection will rectify, at a not
distant day.—N. Y. Sun.
tCEastern democrats who are anx
ious to get rid of Bryan, but who did
not have the courage to say so last
year, find much encouragement in the
results of the elections in Chicago
and St. Louis. In the former city
Altgeld was badly beaten, but that
was not necessarily a defeat for Bry
an. In St. Lotus Bryan's man was
only third in the race, but there the
grossest fraud was practiced, so that
the result counts for nothing as an
indication of the sentiment of the
voters. The democratic party has not
yet rid itself of its "old iiiau of the
tea." —Troy Times.
CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, MAY 2, 1901.
DEMOLISHES A FALSEHOOD.
Sympathetic KrlendM of Aidiinnldo
l.eft on Their Favorite
Tlu-nie.
The anti-administration people, in
cluding by that term the so-called
anti-imperialists and the democratic
party as organized under Bryan on a
so-called anti-imperialist platform,
have, ever since they gave their sympa
thies and allegiaiftje to the enemies of
the L'nited States in the Philippines,
stuck with almost heroic tenacity to
the falsehood that the United States
forced the conflict on the "innocent"
Filipino in February, 189fl, in order to
get votes in the senate for the ratifica
tion of the treaty of Paris.
It is interesting to note that, in ad
dition to all the strong evidence to the
contrary furnished by the United
States authorities, which has been ig
nored and brushed aside by the Amer
ican sympathizers with Aguinaldo, the
Philippine Information society of
Boston, which with undisguised sym
pathy with the Filipino insurgents,
has been publishing tracts for some
time purporting to give the exact
truth about all the occurrences in the
Philippines since Aguinaldo came
upon the scene, has in the tract num
ber seven assembled all the evidence,
documentary and otherwise, bearing
upon the identity of the aggressor and
announces this conclusion:
"The editors would say that, after care
ful study of all the accessible evidence,
they find that, according: to the most au
thoritative statements, the outbreak oc
curred as the result of a trespass by four
armed Filipinos on territory admitted by
the Filipino in command to be within the
jurisdiction of the T'nlted States. The ac
tion of the Flllgino trespassers seems to
have been an Instance of bad discipline In
the insurgent army. Certainly It was not
ordered on that date by the insurgent lead
ers. although the indications are that the
leaders had planned to attack In a few
days. The claim that our forces Instigat
ed the attack for the purpose of securing
the votes necessary to ratify the treaty is
absolutely unsupported by any evidence
which has come to the attention of the
editors."
This admission makes a very large
and ragged hole in the offensive
works of our American Tagalog sym
pathizers. They have stuck to the
lie that our government was the ag
gressor on the night of February 4,
1899, at Manila and have rung the
changes on it in the face of official
federal reports. They have charged
President McKinley with personally
ordering an attack on the "innocent"
Aguinaldo and his forces, when the
evidence, "most authoritave," as the
Philippine Information society says,
reveals the Filipinos as the deliber
ate aggressors; that a rising of the
natives against the Americans in
Manila had been planned and that
Aguinaldo had advised his personal
friends in Manila to leave the city
for safety; that Aguinaldo about No
vember 1. 1898, had not made up his
mind to advocate a republic or an
American protectorate, but was in
clined to the latter; that no promises
were made by the United States to
Aguinaldo to set him up as a ruler in
the Philippines.
The faric of falsehood constructed
by Aguinaldo's sympathetic friends
in this country has long been demol
ished, but it is interesting to note
the disintegration of the remains of
the Philippine Information society,
which can hardly be charged with
being a supporter of the administra
tion. The American sympathizers
with Aguinalo have accepted the half
breed's words and fabrications in
preference to the official reports of
our government.
They have backed an adventurer
who has, for two years past, waged
i a war against the United States
which has cost the lives of 3,000 of
our soldiers und a vast amount of
money. They have made a hero out
of a pitiless tyrant and supported his
"cause" based upon fraud and false
hood, —Minneapolis Journal.

Pittsburg. April "7. —The Dispatch
says: At a meeting in this city on
May 5, a movement will be started
for the organization of the Central
Labor Council of the United States,
which is aimed to be an amalgama
tion of all labor organizations of the
country, with central headquarters,
the object being to secure co-opera
tion among all branches of labor, and
aimed to operate especially against
the great trusts.
The project had its conception
yesterday in a room on Smithfield
street, the district headquarters of
the Knights of Labor. A half dozen
labor leaders, including several na
tional officers, were in the party that
issued the call and last night Presi
dent Shaffer, of the Amalgamated As
sociation of Iron, Steel and Tin
Workers, gave the idea bis approval.
Among those in attendance yester
day were: President L. U. Thomas,
of the Pattern Makers' League of
.North America; President John
Kuntzler, of the American Flint
(llass Workers' union; William Ben
nett, secretary of the Pattern Mak
ers; J, W. l'ryle, national secretary
if the Structural Iron Workers'
union; W. A. Shaw, business agent of
the International Association of Ma
chinists, and John Fernau, district
master workman Knights of Labor.
The plan was talked over in a gen
eral way, and at the meeting on May
5 a national convention will be called,
to which the heads of all the great
organizations.including the American
Federation of Labor, will be invited.
The scheme, as explained by Messrs.
Thomas and l'ryle last night, would
assume actual co-operation between
all branches of labor in any labor
dispute. The country would be di
vided into districts, each to have its
own district council.
President Shaffer, of the Amalga
mated association, said: "I believe
in the principle. It is the natural
outcome of the big combinations of
the present day. I have advocated
it for some time and have already
incorporated the idea in my annual
report to the next convention of
the Amalgamated association. It is
labor's only recourse, in the light of
the present industrial situation. The
time will come when the union work
er will refuse to make iron with non
union coal, and when the miner will
refuse to dig fuel for non-union
mills." _

some distance below Cincinnati since
9 o'clock Friday morning, when the
limit of 59.05 feet was reached. Those
dependent on the prediction of the
limit not exceeding 5s feet, have suf

New York, April 27.—An agreement
between the employing typefounders
and the Typefounders' union, which
represent the manufacturers and the
workmen respectively in that line
throughout the country was reached
Friday whereby the arrangement of
uniform wages and hours which has
been in effect for the past year will
remain practically unchanged for
two years. Under this agreement
the employes will work nine hours a
day at wages running from $lB to
$25 a week.

IDEAS OF HUMOR CHANGE.
Comicalities Ilrllabud a (>rnr ration
Ago Are Mow Begarded a* Very
Stupid.
There appears to have been a vast !
change in the pictorial work of the
humorous periodicals in the Inst few
years, so much so, in fact, that the |
humorous ideal seems to have been !
shifted. A few years ago the illustra- j
tions in a certain of these pa- j
pers were almost invariably of some |
artistic merit in a serious though
often unmeaning way; now they are, :
for the most part, grotesque and |
broadly comic. Before the "joke" was I
to be found in the text beneath the j
picture. Mow it is in the picture itself j
and often the text is dispensed with i
altogether. Most of the humorous j
papers still retain one or two artists
whose work is of the finer order, as j
a connecting link between the old ■
manner and the new and in order j
thalt he may furnish a slight coun- j
terpoise to the comic preponder- ;
ance. But the man whose wares are !
most readily accepted and which
command the highest figure is the \
caricaturist or the "original," who
luis discovered some distorted point
of view of things. Their pictures
amuse in themselves and the text, if
text there be, is a factitious aid, says
the New York I'ost.
A New York artist who used to
command a comfortable living by
drawing for the humorous papers
comments rather ruefully on this
change in style, "llave you ob
served," lie said, "that the 'he and
she' picture has gone the way of all
flesh? There is no market for it
now. T used to support myself do
ing 'lie and she' pictures and nothing
else. They would take as many of
them as I cared to draw. All that i
had to do was to put a man and a
woman on a bench or a sofa or stroll
ing down a shady lane, or sitting on
the seashore, and their funny men
did the rest. I would not know what
joke was going with the picture un
til 1 saw it in the paper. The jokes
were always "He'—then his remark,
and 'She' —and her reply. That is
the way this type of picture got its
name.
"Finally, however, the editors of
these papers drew the artistic reins
tighter. They said that there tvas
nothing in the expressions of the 'he'
and 'she' to indicate that they were
saying the lines the funny man had
given them. Sometimes, you see, I
would have a man leaning carelessly
over the back of a rustic seat smil
ing down at a girl, while, according
to the lines, she was giving him the
'mitten.' The members of the 'he
and she' school were gradually
crowded out by the 'comics' and if
they could not adapt themselves to
the new style had to seek other
fields. Of course I do not mean to
say there are no more 'he and she'
pictures in the comic papers. They
will appear, but y r ou will observe that
they are not only very well done
from a-n artistic point of view, but
that the action in them squares with
the sense of the lines beneath.
".What, is the reason for this
change in the humorous Reapers?"
echoed the artist to a question.
"Well, it would be hard to say. It is
more than a fashion, I think. Call it
rather an evolution. One reason, I
believe, is the great improvement in
the last few years of the illustrations
in the serious monthlies and week
lies. The public sees so much excel
lent pictorial work in these nowa
days that it would be surfeited if it
found this work in the comic papers
itoo. They turn to them for the
•funny' pictures."
A Ten of Sanity. T
A gentleman was once being taken
over an idiot asylum. He asked an
attendant how they knew when an
idiot was considered to be sufficiently
restored to sanity to be discharged.
"Oh," said the attendant, "it is eas
ily managed. We take them into a
yard where there .are several troughs.
"We turn on the taps and then give
the idiots buckets to bail out the
water and empty the troughs. Many
of them keep bailing away while the
taps keeps running', but them that
