The Ni-lirnsl. n Kill tor Tnki'n Ilie Peo ple Into iiiM Confluence 'l'lirouKli 11 in l'ai>er. Trifles sometimes indicate the drift of tilings, particularly in politics. Owing to a number of recent unim portant oeurrences, the discussion of Mr. Hrynn's future as a democratic leader and possible presidential candi date has been revived in the more speculative section of the press. The other day the Nebraska editor was di rectly questioned by a Chicago inter viewer ns to his attitude, and he was distinctly noncommittal in his ex pressions. lint there is an editorial in the Commoner purporting to take the public into Mr. Bryan's confidence, and it is interesting to glance at its central statement. There is an air of extreme frankness about it, but, after all, it does not tell us anything definite. Mr. Bryan says that he is not "planning" for another presidential nomination. This is su perfluous. The time for planning lias not arrived. President' MeKinley's second term is not yet two months old. and the new congress will not convene for several months. Mr. Bryan adds: "If ever I become a candidate again it will be because it seems necessary for the advancement of the principles to which 1 adhere, and that does not now seem probable. I shall, however, take an interest in politics for several years jss" „ *- >s O »» x t ,VMiv#J V/,,M.. . SO, BOSS! SO! yet, if 1 live, and can be relied upon to support tho.e who as candidates advo cate the democratic principles and who can l>e trusted to enforce them if elected." It does not now "seem probable" thiit Mr. Bryan's candidacy will be necessary for the advancement of his principles, but if the necessity should arise and the party should knock at Mr. Bryan's door he is not the man to decline the burden of leadership. If tiiis does not mean that Mr. Bryan is willing, even anxious, to be a candidate "for the sake of his principles" it means nothing at all. and this alterna tive is not reasonable. But the necessity will not arise. The d( mocratic party is drifting and show ing no signs of reconciliation, but it is almost certain that none of the issues of the late election will survive the year 190:!. Free silver is dead beyond peradventure, and the question of im perialism will be settled by the su preme court. The Filipinos will be pacified and headed toward substan tial autonomy and independence. New issues will doubtless arise, for stag nation is not a condition familiar to Americans, but they will call for new leaders, and the democratic party is vigorous enough to furnish them with out galvanizing the political dead. Mr. Bryan stood for a body of doctrines, and he will disappear with it.—Chicago Post. DRIFT OF OPINION. CTQuite some time has elapsed in which Mr. Bryan has not asserted that this prosperity which we are en joying isn't real.—Albany Journal. CMr. Bryan fears that the demo cratic party will be republicanized. Something on this order happened last .November.—Baltimore American. CThe president is talking about marketing our surplus, not about al lowing outside competitors to mar ket their surpluses here if by so doing they will interfere with the home producer.—lndianapolis Jour nal. ETWhen Mr. McKinley became president the deposits in all the banks of the United States amount ed to $1,(150,000,000. The last report makes such deposits $2,750,00C,W',M), an increase in available funds of 7o per cent. Still, now and then a man de clares that there is no prosperity that, is real.—lndianapolis Journal. ICllnving so signally failed to leap into the presidency at a bound, Wil liam Jennings Bryan, reaping wis dom as the harvest of experience, may conclude to make his next ap proach l/,\ i lie slower but surer ap proach of gradual steps, first the governorship of Nebraska and next the United States senate. The plan has this virtue, that, though failure of ambitious consummation come again, the fall will be less bruising because of reduced altitude of pre cipitation. Cincinnati Commercial Tribune. CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, MAY 23, 1901. ' M'KINLEY'S LITTLE SPEECHES I \\ liolexnme Kffeet of tin- Clilef Mug« inti-ute'M Til IKM nith lite As a maker of lit tie speeches that reach the minds and the hearts of bin I hearers, and produce a deeper and more lasting effect than most longer | efforts of the kind, President McKin -1 ley is without a peer. On not a few 1 previous occasions he has shown hiin i self to he possessed of the ability to say much of the right sort in few | words, and the conditions which con front him everywhere on his present t rip arc well calculated to develop still ! further the faculty which be possesses |in so high degree, lie is always the staunch put riot, 1 be cheerful opt i mist; j but his optjnrism never drifts from its 1 basis of fact. He does not color his ! description of conditions; but in brief, i forceful words, he brings out their gratifying details and compels attcn j tion to them even from those who are inclined to take prosperity as a matter ! of course, worthy of no special notice, and are ordinarily aroused fri tn ia | difference only when conditions are, jor threaten to become, awry. There !is in his utterances not a tra«;e of t boastfulness, not the slightest ten dency to exaggeration; he appeals 10 common sense, to national pride, to i the optimism of his normally consti tuted fellow citizens. He points out j the many reasons for rejoicing that we have as individuals and as a na tion; he proclaims his own gladness because our affairs are as they are, and asks his fellow citizens to be fflad with him. The effect of the president's little speeches cannot but he wholesome. He invigorates the feeling of patriot ism and national pride in those who hear him and in those who read what he has said, and leaves thein with a fuller realization of the fact that American citizenship is a boon for which all who enjoy it should be de voutly thankful. He makes the heart of the optimist to beat higher with pride and joy in the present and with confident hope for the future, and even the pessimist who hears him must ex perience a new sensation that is not the less pleasing because of its nov elty. In these heart-to-heart talks with his fellow citizens, President MeKin ley reveals himself again to the masses as the man whom those who have studied him more closely know him to be- patriotic, broad-minded, large hearted, permeated with love of coun try and of his fellow men, and finding his greatest pleasure in their prosper ity and the promotion of it.—Albany Journal. Ajruinnlilo !S'o Martyr, There is nothing of the martyr in Aguinaldo: indeed, nothing of the fanatic. He is simply a politician of the oriental type whose party has been defeated in arms, but hopes to be successful in otlice. As the United States means to continue to hold the Philippine. 1 } as possessions, its policy will be to employ local talent in ad ministration as long as that talent continues trustworthy, and Aguinal do will be trustworthy so long as it is worth his while. We shall not be surprised if Aguinaldo becomes con spicuous as one of the agents we shall employ to solidify our domi nation. There are a good many peo ple in this country who think that the United States will grant absolute independence to the Philippines, but. these people are doomed to see their opinion discredited. They will see tranquillity restored in the Philip pines under the American Hag as the Filipinos adjust themselves to our su premacy and our people adjust them selves to a "colonial system."—Eos ton Transcript. tCMr. Bryan in substance says he is out of it—unless, perchance, he happens to be in it."The heretofore cannot be recalled, and the hereafter cr.niKt lie anticipated.'' The trouble with Mr. Bryan's party is that its hereafter is all heretofore its future is behind it.—N. Y. .Mail and Ex- P'vss. If When Editor Bryan dons his overalls and goes a-plowing on his farm, or when he reaps his harvest this year, there will be none that will care to take pictures of him and write syndicated articles u'uout his activity.—Albuny Journal. Why IMnah l'elt So Bad, Not long ago a lieutenant in the navy was ordered away on a three years' cruise. The order had been dreaded for weeks, and when it came the young wife, who was to be left in a Brooklyn flat with a baby and a colored servant., was in despair. She controlled her sorrow very well, however, until the actual mo ment of parting came, and then she wept as fiipugh her heart would break. The'cruiser was to leave the navy yard early next morning, and the lieutenant had gone to report for duty. 11l the midst of her lamentations the young wife heard a 'sniffling and sobbing in the dining-room, and upon glancing through the door she saw Dinah, the colored maid, rocking her body to and fro in a chair and weep ing violently. "Why, D-D-Dinoh, what's the m-mattcr?" cried the mistress; "you seem to t-t-take Mr. lllank's depart ure as much to heart as 1 d-do." " 'Deed 1 doesn't, Mis' Blank; 'deed 112 doesn't!" sobbed Dinah. "What, am boderin' dis chile am dc fac' dat a eullud gemman friend o' mine am gwine sail hisse'f on dat same ole cruisah!" 111 M Trip Awheel. A devotee of the bicycle started Southward on his wheel at the. begin ning of winter. Several weeks after ward he reached Florida none the worse for liis journey. "Do you mean to tell me." exclaim ed the friend whom he had gone to visit, "that you made the whole dis tance by wheel?" "Certainly," he replied. "When I couldn't ride the machine 1 got off and walked by it." The reader will perceive that there is more than one way to travel "by wheel."—Youth's Companion. EitMy I'lolilng In Oregon.

I'ernlMency of the Flavor. A western correspondent sends 11s this story, which may be taken with a few grains of salt as to the material allegation contained therein: A country customer had bought, some fish at a village grocery store— whether codfish, mackerel or herring is not necessary for the purposes of the story—and at her next visit to the store she entered a complaint. "They tasted," she objected, "ex actly like English breakfast tea." "I'm not surprised, ma'am," replied the grocer. "Those fish were caught in Boston harbor."—-N. Y. Sun. Valuable Ileelpc.

How Three Women Found Relief, V l no wot nan is entirely free suffering-, it dot s not seem to have been the plan of nature that woman should suffer so severely. Lydia, E.
