The oldest church bell tower in America is now in good condition in Tucoma, Wash. When the erst settle ment was made on Commencement Bay, Paget Sound, a church was built but there was no bell tower, so a big fir tree was selected. The bell was placed in the top of this tree, a lad der extending from the roof of the church to the improvised tower. The ivy-colored fir still stands, with the bell in its top. Greater attention to the eyesight of school children appears to be a press ing need of the age—in cities, at least. An investigation shows that eye de fects are increased one-third by the iirst three years of school life, and that in ordinary schools 32 per cent have only two-thirds of ordinary Keenness of sight, while in one school this proportion reached 4S per cent. The dullness of pupils is due in great measure to eye defects. It is said that the Bank of Franco has an invisible studio in a gallery be hind the cashiers, so that at a given signal from one of them any suspect ed customer can instantly hate his photograph taken without his knowl edge. The camera has also become very useful in the detection of frauds, a word or figure that to the eye seem ed completely erased being clearly re produced in photographs of the docu ment that had been tampered with. Kentucky boasts of the oldest mail carrier in the United States in the person of "Uncle Sam" Gibbons, who resides at, Hodgenville, three miles from Lincoln's birthplace. Uncle Sam has retired from active service now, but he enjoys pointing to the fact that for sixty-one years he carried the government's mail, without the loss of a single sack, and with scarce ly a dozen delayed trips due to heavy rains or otherwise inclement weather. 7)r. Ludwig Mond. whose discovery of a cheap gas promises a revolution in the production, is a native of Cas sel, Who, although he went to England nearly forty years ago, still retains a trace of his German accent. He has invented many wonderful chemical processes and has thereby acquired wealth sufficient to indulge in his fan cy for ancient Italian works of art. He keeps up a palact in Home, a town and country house in England and io a member of five London clubs. Arabian horses manifest remarka ble courage in battle. It is said that "when a horse of this breed finds him self woundel, and perceives that he will not be able to bear his rider much longer, he quickly retires from the conflict, bearing his master to a place of safety while he has still sufficient strength. But if, on the other hand, ■the rider is wound-d and falls to the ground, the faithful animal remains beside him, unmindful of danger, neighing until assistance is brought. A puzzling problem is how to get rid of empty nitroglycerin casks. The wood of the casks become so satur» ated with nitroglycerin that, in ex plosiveness it. equals the nitroglycer in itself. It does not pay. nor is it safe, to refill the casks. To burn them is out of the question. If left around, they are a constant menace, for while all men arc prone to show their rc« spect for a dangerous explosive, there Mfe few that think that harm can coins of a kick at an empty barrel, There is flfithing tc "i 1 ? ,f> explode Die eniil<*.

A painstaking meteorologi t -ins undertaken the laborious task of measuring the dimensions fit' rain drops. lie finds that the largest are about one-sixth of an inch, the smal lest out? iive-liundredths of an inch, in diameter. They are larger in the summer than in winter, and larger in hot than in cold climates. The size of the drop when it reaches tlu earth depends on the height from which it has fallen. In summer '.lie lower strata of air are warmer than in winter, and therefore elouiis are formed at a greater height. THE IMPERIALIST PARTY. Democratic President* nntl Lender* Who Advocated tin* Acquire ment of Cuba. % —ji While the great majority of Ainer iean citizens are, irrespective of par ty, ill favor of the ultimate annexa tion of Cuba to the United States, there is no doubt that the democratie party was the first which openly and emphatically declared in favor of such a policy. Not, indeed, for Cuba's good, nor for the good of the United States, did the old slave-holding oli garchy which so long dominated dem ocratic councils take this stand. In the early days of American statesmanship, when expansion was the order of the day, a necessity not alone to the growth but to the per petuation of the republic, we find that Jefferson, in a letter to Presi dent Madison, dated April ~7, 1809, declared explicitly for the acquisition of Cuba by the United States, four teen years later John Quincy Adams, when secretary of state, enunciated the same policy. Jefferson wrote, June 11, and again .Tune Uo, to President Monroe, favoring Cuban annexation, stating, on the latter date, that "her addition to our confederacy is exactly what is wanted to round out our power as a nation to its utmost interest." Henry Clay, secretary of state under John Quincy Adams, was not a dem ocrat, but clearly affirmed that this country could not see with indiffer ence the transfer of Cuba from Spain to some other European power. Mr. Clay, writing Mr. Everett, April 13, 1820, intimated that the acquisition of Cuba was not at that time desirable. He said that if "the acquisition of Cuba were desirable, there is believed to be no reasonable prospect of ef fecting that object." . When the extension of slavery he came a paramount issue in American polities democratic leaders eagerly sought the acquisition of the island, to cut it up into two or three states, with proportionate representation in the national house and senate. Pres ident Polk, an intense slave-holding democrat, proposed to acquire Cuba by purchase from Spain, but the lat ter treated the offer as an insult. In 15.14 the ministers of the United States at London, Paris and Madrid, all democrats, one being James Bu chanan, afterward president, sent a joint dispatch to the secretary of state emphatically urging a fair of fer for the purchase of Cuba, and if Spain should refuse the United States should forcibly seize the island. In his second, third and fourth an nual messages President Buchanan declared the possession of Cuba of vast importance to this republic. This was, for partisan purposes solely, the view of ante-bellum democracy. The outbreak of the civil war put an end to the agitation of the slave-holding democratic imperialists in favor of Cuba's forcible seizure and annexa tion. Not one among their leaders was ignorant of the truth that Spain would accept no cash offer for the island, and that the making of such an offer was to serve as a cover for war to obtain the island. Grant, the first republican presi dent to speak on the subject, de clared in his very first annual mes sage that America had no desire to interfere with Spanish ownership of Cuba, but hoped to see the island become in time an independent power. Hamilton Fish, in February. 1574. while secretary of state for President Grant, affirmed that "Cuba ought to belong ♦(> the great family of American republics, and that the desire of independence on the part of j the Cubans is a natural and legiti mate aspiration." This is practically the doctrine of the republican party to-day. We fa vor freedom and self-government to the fullest possible extent for Cuba, and oppose its annexation to the United States except on terms mu tually acceptable to both peoples. We cannot, however, permit in Cuba the erection of a government that would prove an agent of anarchy, disease or foreign attack imperiling America. We are expansionists, not imperial ists. We believe in our flag, but shall never plant it where the interests of freedom do not command. The dem ocrats would have seized Cuba by force and made it a slave-holding de pendency. The republican party drove Spain from the island and has made tt SI seat of self-government and free dom. with brightest promise and fn'r est hope. Which is the party of im perialism?

CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, MAY 30, 1901. TRIUMPH OF M'KINLEY. l'olirU-H of the President Have Come to Be Approved AH Over the Country. It lias been the good fortune of President McKinley at, every stage of his administration to demonstrate the essential unity of the country, lie did it when the tariff passed in the first year of his administration and won southern support. When, a year ago, the gold standard came to be placed by fresh legislation on a sure and certain foundation the busi ness sentiment of the south responded to his policy. Expansion has had throughout southern support. At no time lias the solid sense of the south sympathized with northern democrat ic opposition to the extension of the territory and the expansion of the power of the United States. Lastly, President McKinley has discouraged any prospective action toward the south when the census demanded u new apportionment. All this has been known. It has be come visible in the tripthe president is now taking. For a week he has been passing through the south, lie has spoken daily. As president, he was cer tain to be received with respect. His personal popularity insured a cordial welcome. The prosperity which his administration has brought prompted popular enthusiasm and filled men and cities with a sense of growing wealth, enlarging trade, increasing manufac tures and all the fruits of sound money, protection and expansion. But more than this has come. Be ginning with the broad and general ut terances of a common loyalty and a general and generous pride in our country and its swelling tide of pros perous peace, President McKinley in his speech at New Orleans sounded the wider and higher note of the essential unity of the land at the present time. All business men are to-day agreed'on the gold standard. All manufacturers want a larger foreign trade. Every port and every river desires internal improvements. Neither capital nor la bor, north or south, wishes current prosperity disturbed by tariff agita tion. Any objection which may once have existed to expansion in certain quarters is disappearing before the manifest success of this policy. Political differences still exist. Par ty division continues. Nothingis more desirable for the best interests of the land than a strong, honest, sincere, united democratic opposition. Only thus can the party in power be kept to its best work. Nothing can be worse for our national politics than an oppo sition split into impotent factious fragments. But on those issues on which rest material prosperity, like the gold standard, the great and over whelming majority stands to-day ready to have an end of controversy and call the qtiestion closed. Presi dent McKinley's trip has gone farther to demonstrate this than any event for a generation.—Philadelphia Press. AMERICAN GOVERNMENT. Itemiirkalile I'rosrre-nn of the Admin iNt ration in InHtitatiiiß Civil Itule in tli<* I'iiiliiipineM. Despite the predictions of '-he little band of irreconcilable anti-imperial ists, the American government has made remarkable progress rn pacify ing the Philippines ;'.nd instituting civil rule in the islands. 'l'he Louis ville Courier-Journal, which certainly cannot be classed among the admir ers of the McKinley administration, is nevertheless moved to express great satisfaction over what has been achieved there, as well as in the ap parently near approach of a good un derstanding in Cuba. If remarks: "The surrender of G»n. Tir.lo. Gen. Alejar.drir.o and divers ai.d numerous cith er Filipino leaders, ?o soon after Aguin aldo's proclamation calling for peace, gives assurance of a speed;,' »r,d to the troubles in the Philippines. As rhere also seems to be an impending colla;>se of the organized opposition to the Piatt amendment in I'uba, the result may be described as a complete victory so far for the United States insular policies. The conduct of this country has been characterized throughout by kindli ness, forbearance and such regard for the real welfare of the citizens of these de pendencies that any other termination would have been monstrous. We say de pendencies, though Cuba, upon which we lay no ultimate claim, is included, for Cuba is essentially a ward of the United States and must always continue so, notwith standing the island's future independent government." Tho Courier-Journal attributes this success to the remarkable faculty which the Anglo-Saxon has for get ting" 0" successfully with men of other races. The American people, have enough of the Anglo-Saxon temperament, im proved and modified by certain inher ent national characteristics, to make them at least as considerate and ef ■' "a 1 "*•" ci M '° And they arc shewing their capavliy in the fresh and novel regponalbUit'or that have come to them. They have had but a few mcttiKH in which to 'how the metal which they are made as guardians of new depend encies, and the record in that short space of time is one of which they have no reason to be ashamed.—Troy Times. icin a recent issue of the Commoner Mr. Hrvan said that "if the production of g<dil increases to such an extent as to furnish a volume of money that \vill keep pace with population and busi ness the restoration of bimetallism will not be necessary." This admission would setm to indicate that Mr. liryan is trying to soak himself loose from the principal one of"the principles to which 1 adhere." But if he renounces his allegiance to silver he falls. It is the one thing 1 hat has enabled him to retain his commanding position In hie party so long. If he drops ](> to Ihe will bee< me at once like unto a lot of ( ther ordinary democrats who have noTTiing to distinguish them and look I for no distinction.—Albany Jo urn A FINE GIFT. Pruldtiil llrltlnEcy lo Prenonlfd lfltli a Pajcr Worilt of Uolili San Francisco, May 24.—President McKinley yesterday received a dele gation of federal officials. President MrKinley asked these officials to pro vide a position for an old man named Hitter, who served in his regiment during the civil war. Mr. Kitter lost a leg in battle and is now a resident of San Laredo. The president re marked that this was the first ap pointment. he had asked for and hoped his old comrade would be pro vided for. The officials promised to grant the request. The most important event of the day came next. It was the presi dent's visit to the Presidio, where he reviewed the Forty-fifth and Forty sixth volunteer infantry regiments, just returned from the Philippines to be mustered out of service. When the president mounted the reviewing stand the soldiers cheered him and he made a speech. The president next visited the hospital, going through every sick ward speaking words of cheer to every sick soldier. In the afternoon the president was the guest of honor at the reception of the Union League club, the Ohio Society of California, the Mexican War Veterans and Native Sons. The latter three societies presented him with a paper weight containing SUSO worth of gold. At each reception the president responded briefly to presentation speeches. On his way to dinner President Mc- Kinley stopped at Union square and tiirned over the first shovelful of sod, where the monument to the Amer ican navy in commemoration of Ad miral Dewey's victory in -Manila bay is to erected. President M "Kinlev attended the reception last {riven in his honor by the G. A. It. [justs of the city. BILIBID'S PRISON GATES. They Clone Klchiitd Tlirce Army Oill cer» «I Fraud. Manila.

Reed and Harrows seemed compar atively unmoved by their situation. Lieut. Hoyer protested his innocence and seemed vindictive toward Har rows, who, he alleged, was alone guil ty of misappropriating bacon. Maj. Hale, commandant of the prison, cleared a store room to be occupied by the trio apart from the Filipino prisoners, but as Lieut. Hoyer avoided speaking to ( apt. Har rows, other arrangements are prob able. GOES TO AN ASYLUM. IV<imin U ho Killed Her Six Cliiidren C* Cakeii to a li<iNj>itul lor (lie In kanr, to Itemnin I mil I>cat!>. Worcester, Mass.. May 24.—Mrs. Elizabeth Xaramore, who killed her six children at their home in Cold Hrook Springs, March 34, by beating out their brains with an ax and a club, was arraigned in the criminal court of Worcester county yesterday on an indictment charging her with murdering her little daughter Ethel. She pleaded not guilty and the ease was given to the jury on an agree ment of. facts by the district attor ney and counsel for Mrs. Xaramore. The counsel agreed that Mrs. Xara more killed the children and that she was insane at the time. Drs. Quinby and Scribner, superin tendents of the insane asylum in Worcester, testified that the woman was insane at the time of the killing and for some time after that, but Dr. (Juinby says she is now sane, al though she needs medical attention. l!y order of the court the jury re turned a verdict of not guilty be cause of insanity and Mrs. Xaramore was committed to the Worcester in sane asylum for life.
