Now comes a scientist with the dec laration that the stomach is only a survival of man's herbivorous stage, riot particularly necessary to the suc cessful operations of one's internal economy, and a stomachless Chicago man is a living proof of the state ment. If this thing goes on there will soon be no excuse for any pain but a toothache. A committee of 14 British experts and scientists has reported, after IS months of careful investigation, that there is no such thing as hereditary drunkenness, and that love of intoxi cating iTquors is in no case transmit ted from parent to child. This does not lessen the reasons for temper ance. but it does away with a non ecientific argument. In 20 years Andrew Carnegie's ben efactions have reached a total of $35,- 1)85,025. Since January 1 last his gifts foot up $22,827,000, an average of $195,000 a day. His gifts in America amount to $24,079,300, and in England and Scotland to $11,305,725. In th United States he has given to 86 li braries and eight colleges and in Great Britain to 23 libraries and six colleges. The growth of the silk industry in this country during the last decade has been as remarkable as that of cotton and woolen manufactures. From 1890 to 1900 the number of spindles employed in silk factories in creased from 718,000 to 1,426,000, and the number of looms from 20,800 to 48,200. It is estimated that the coun try now supplies nearly two-thirds of its total consumption of silks. The rector of St. George's, a fash ioi.uble church in Brooklyn, X. V., hfes deemed it necessary to issue a circular in which he announces that 5a future "audible courtship" will not l»e permitted in his church while serv ice is in progress. He does not par ticularly object to such mild forms of expressing affect ion as the holding of hands, but the more strenuous manifestations must be reserved for less public places. It is related by a traveler who was in Peking last winter that during the exciting times there a wealthy Amer ican suggested to Gen. Chaffee that citizens of this country might as well get a share of the loot that was be ing seized. He offered to pay for the transportation to New York of two splendid temple bronzes if the gener al would overlook their removal. "The American caught looting will be shot at once," was Chaffee's answer, and the rich man retired with what dignity he could command. I'oor old Arabi Pasha, the loader of the Egyptian rebellion of lss2, has been pardoned by the khedive and ■will be permitted to return from ex ile. Arabi came pretty close to being a patriot and a hero. Undoubtedly lie would have been both had his rev olution succeeded. His pardon is said to have been granted upon the advice of Lord Cromer, the British diplomat ic agent. There is every reason why the British should feel grateful to wards Art.hi. Had it not been for his revolt they might not have the strong grip they now have upon Egypt. It would seem as though the people of Xew Jersey ought to know about everything worth knowing concern ing mosquitoes. A professor is giv ing them instructions and says—and this is a point well worth remember ing—the humpbacked mosquito is perfectly harmless, and it is the mos quito with the grecian bend that raises the mischief as a malaria breeder. This should be a warnin" to housekeepers. If any mosquitoes come around and demand admission, just, look them over to determine the shape of their backs. Among the presents received by Jlrs. MeKinley during her trip to the west were an exquisitely embroi dered bedspread from the Chinese residents of Los Angeles; a profu sion of flowers from the women of the southern cities visited; a crate of strawberries grown near Hous ton, Tex.; dates grown and cured in Arizona; rare flowers from the wom en employed in the mint at New Or leans and a loving cup and a basket of trout from the women of Decatur, Ain., presented through two of Airs. 11-clCinley's former schoolmates. The movement to erect a monu ment at Washington to the heroes of the revolution has taken definite form, and Gen. Breckinridge, presi dent of tie Sons of the American Be volution, has named a eomrjittee to have clarge of the matter. CONGRESS SUSTAINED. Tin* Supreme Court Drcldri tin* E'uilo lticun Question In Accordunce with the President** View*. The supreme court has broken its long silence. Decisions have been handed down i« a number of the cases involving the status of the in sular possessions of the United States. The administrat ion and congress have no reason to be dissatisfied with the conclusions arrived at by the court. Though some of the cases have been decided against the government, the one which was of vital importance has been decided as the administra tion and tlie great majority of the American people wished to have it. Five of the nine justices—Fuller, Harlan, Brewer and Peckham dissent ing—are of the opinion that the For aker act, or rather that, part of it which levies customs duties, is con stitutional. Congress has power to levy duties on imports from the new ly acquired possessions of the United States and to collect duties in their ports on goods exported from this country. The constitutional provi sion that "all duties, imposts and ex cises shall he uniform throughout the United States" does not apply to Porto Rico or the Philippines until congress shall so direct. This decision disposes of a good many ugly possibilities. It will not be necessary to admit duty-free the sugar and tobacco of Cuba if it should be annexed. It will not be necessary either to close the "open door" in the Philippines by imposing duties on the goods imported from foreign conn tries while those from the United States go in free, or to impose lower duties throughout the United States so that lower duties may be charged in the Philippines. It is settled, furthermore, that the internal revenue duties levied on this continent will not have to be levied in Porto l{ieo and the Philippines, where conditions are so different from what they are here that their imposition would be inexpedient, not to say unjust. Congress may legis late for the insular possessions with out being bound by any revenue pro visions of the constitution. That in strument does not "follow the flag" so far as taxation is concerned, nor as regards certain political rights. An obiter dictum of the court which no one will take exception to is to the effect that certain rights, like that of the freedom of speech and religious worship, which are in the bill of rights of the constitution, goto the new possessions with the flag and cannot be taken away by congress. Congress has no wish to take them away. The president has said expressly that these were the rights of the Filipinos and should not be violated. Some of the cases decided by the court related to the collection of du ties between the date of ratification of peace and that of the enactment of the Foraker law of last year. Here the court holds the duties were im properly collected. This is a defeat for the government, but it involves merely the refunding of some duties. The decision in the Downs case, which holds that at this time Porto liieo is a territory "appurtenant to and belonging to the United States, but not a part of the United States," is the important decision. It sustains fully the view of congress and the administration as to the status of these insular possessions. This is a great legal victory for the president and his advisers. It is a defeat for the persons who have been making long arguments to prove that the ratification of the treaty of peace made Porto I'ieo and the Phil ippines a part of the United States and that the Foraker law was uncon stitutional.—Chicago Tribune. NOW WORLD LEADER. ~ Anicrien'N Supremacy in Commerce mill Finance nn AN mireil Fact. From the monthly summary of commerce and finance which is issued by the bureau of statistics of the United States treasury department the interesting and important fact appears that in the current fiscal year this country leads all other na tions in the matter of exports. During the nine months ended on March 31 the average monthly ex ports amounted to $124.497,853, while those of Great Britain, which are sec ond in amount, were $117,810,240. Thus a difference of $0,681,007 a month in favor of the United States is shown. Germany is third by a long interval with monthly exports aver aging $87, .1'11, 000, and France, Russia, British India. Austria-Hungary, Bel gium and Italy trail along behind with amounts ranging from $50,107,- 000 to the credit of France, down to Italy's showing of only $20,518,000. During the nine months the total domestic exports of the United States were $1,120,480,073, against a total of $1,060,340,214, from the United King dom. showing a balance of about SOO,- 000,000 in favor of this country. The United States has, moreover, an excess of $394,000,000 of exports over imports to its credit for the nine months, which excess is greater by $127,000,000 than that for the corre sponding period of the preceding fis cal year. Upon such conditions as these is our prosperity based.—Albany Jour nal. in?"A democratic paper says that McKinley's speeches arc better than in the days when he talked on pro tection in congress.

CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, JUNE 13, 1901. A FALSE PROPHET'S END. l'oliticnl IJixhonciilj» of llrynn Son No l.onger u .V«\tter of lioultt. Col. Bryan seems to have finally abandoned his pet silver issue, for in a late interview he is reported as say ing- that "it matters not whether we have more silver than gold or more gold> than silver, but we must have money enough to meet the demands of an unrestricted commerce," Ap parently he concedes that there is enough now. At any rate, at the close of 1 '.ton, including the money in the United States treasury, there was S:;o.GG per capita, as against $26.91 in 1 S'.io and $18.58 in 1573. \\ hen silver was at a premium in gold and the "crime of 1573" was committed. The explana tion, of course, is a very simple one, and familiar to everybody. The an nual prod uct of goldi is now larger than the combined product of silver and gold prior to 18110, and the resulting coin is abundant for the necessities of commerce. There are no means that we know of to determine the amount of actual money used per SI,OOO of "cash" transactions, but everyone knows that the use of checks is in creasing so rapidly, even in country districts, that the demands of com merce, as expressed by the ratio of money really used to money nominally used', must he rapidly decreasing. There could be no fault, found with even this late conversion of Mr. Bryan did it. not prove two things. First, his political dishonesty in clamoring for the free silver plank in 1900. and. sec ond, his determination that there shall be no reconciliation of the wings of the democratic party, except.on terms dictated by himself and involving his retention in office as party dictator. Nothing has taken place since last No vember to change the silver situation or throw more light upon it. It.was plain before election that he had ceased to believe in the free silver diog-ma,and yet would pot acknowledge his conver sion. His'present utterances afford posit ive proof that the last year or two of his silver campaign was an attempt to deceive the people, not only as to their interests, but as to his belief. His late recantation, of course, does not of itself prove that he is deter mined to rule or ruin his party, lint, taken in connection with his other ut terances and his well-known attitude toward other democratic leaders, it shows that he has determined to aban don the free silver issue, but to substi tute in its place all the odds and ends of communism and anarchy which can be picked out of the platforms of 180G and 1000, and upon that basis {father the largest following which he can se cure from the democratic party or else where. It is now hard to see how there can Vie any other outcome than the formal repudiation of Bryan by the democrats and his disappearance from politics, except as a minor political and social agitator.—San Francisco Chron icle. WILL NOT BACK DOWN. Scnntcr Mcl.ntirin Domonntrntcii Hi* Vlovj#; of Xnttonal Pro- KrcHKion. United States Senator McLnurin, ol South Carolina, does not flinch under fire. And few public men have been exposed to fiercer attacks than he has experienced since lie announced his intention to forsake the Bryanized democracy of the south, with its in tense Bourbonisin, and come out for progress and modern methods. He has been abused as a traitor to his party and his section, maligned, ridi culed and misrepresented in every way. ■Wednesday Senator MeLaurin made the first formal presentation of his views on the national issues now oc cupying the attention of the people. He spoke at Greenville, S. to a large assemblage, including many business men, lawyers and others. It seems to have been an occasion of more than ordinary interest, and th speech was evidently regarded as one certain to have most important re sults. Senator MeLaurin spoke with great frankness, and there was no mistaking his meaning. Tn defining his attitude toward the democratic party he said: "I say that ar.y man.on domestic prob lems, problems of Internal concern, should, as far as possible, bow to the behests of his party. If he cannot agree with liis party on questions of this kind he should, if possible. And a party with which he is In accord. 1 assert, fellow citizens, however, that it is almost a crime for any party to make great, broad, nonpolitical American measures, in volving the political and commt reial devel opment of the nation, the test of party fealty. Issues essential to the maintenance of the honor and prestige of the nation are too vital to be relegated to the plane of par tisan and sectional contention. Believing, as I do, that there are vital issues which, growing out of changed industrial condi tions, are higher and broader than mere party questions, i have, as your senator, looking beyond the line marked by section alism and partisanship, striven to promote the material, political and commercial in ic rests of our common country—for into doing 1 car. best serve the interests of the state of South Carolina." The senator by way off urther expla nation told how, rather than create trouble in democratic ranks, he had, though differing from them as to the wisdom of the course pursued, fallen in line and'followed the lcadiof "Jones, Tillman. Pettigrew and company," but became tired of it, and finally forsook them. Now he owes allegiance-to no democratic boss, and is supporting only such policies as he believes will promote the welfare of the countrv. Logically, therefore, he is for expan sion, for protection, for subsidies to American ships and for anything that can advance t', e commerce and pros perity of the United States. He can not be for them and remain a political bourbon and a Bryanite. And this is sound and wholesome talk to south ern people, who have, if possible.more to secure through the maintenance of these progressive policies than the rc s idents of any other part of the coun try.—Troy Times. CARNEGIE IN LONDON. He Predict* 't'lut the Continental Power* Will * oniblne to >iuu»U up SCnglaml. London, June 5.-—"Mark my words," said Mr. \ndrcw Carnegie last night to a ropivs'-titative of the Associated Press, "the lime is coming vrlien the continental powers will combine to smash up this little island of Great liritnln. When that happens, she will have to turn to the United States for help. "I feci e< rtain it will no be refused. The I'mi et j States wTll step in and say 'Don't.' They will act just as Great Britain did in the Spanish- American war. What she did then was great, and it is not half realized yet." When Mr. Carnegie gave utterance to these sentences he was in the Lang-ham hotel, London, where lie had arrived from Scotland for the chamber of commerce gatherings. I*ntil last night lie had steadfastly refused to be interviewed. Resuming the topic of Anglo-Amer ican relations, Mr. Carnegie said: "I believe in the community of the British-speaking races, by which I mean that the Americans and the British are now closer than ever be fore. Could you get a better in stance than the visit of the delegates of the New York chamber of com merce to Windsor last Saturday? I suggested it, and King Edward took up the idea thoroughly. It was a fitting commncement of the new reign. "I know how deeply interested King Edward is in the United States. I have known this since the time, years ago, when I drove him on a locomo tive in the United States, which, by the way. he did not forget when we met under different circumstances. "The idea that the visit of our dele gates to Windsor can be in any way construed as King Edward's recogni tion of American commercial superi ority is all nonsense. The king is full of tact and of friendship for our country." "Do you think," Mr. Carnegie was asked, "that British enterprise can ba sufficiently stimulated to meet Amer ican competition?" "Oh. they can't compete with us," replied Mr. Carnegie with a smile. "Would you advise the British peo ple to place their faith in combina tions?" said the interviewer. "I'm out of business," responded Mr. Carnegie, "and I know nothing about combinations." When questioned regarding his re cent gift to the universities of Scot land, he said: "Everything will be settled shortly in a way satisfactory to both sides. The high Scotch officials and myself are still having conferences to ar range matters. When asked if he contemplated fur ther gifts, he replied in the negative, Mr. Carnegie is well and is greatly pleased at the reception given to the delegates of the New York chamber of commerce. STEAMERS RACE. The City ot p.i-lo Brain Hie Tanlmioo by Porty-ilve Second*. Cleveland, June 5. —The racing steamers City of Erie, of the Cleve land & Buffalo Transit Co., and the Tashmoo, of the White Star Line, got away yesterday morning, the weath er being clear and the lake calm. The boats started abreast at the half-mile line to the westward of the stake-iioat. When they went across the line the Erie was a length ahead and was gaining steadily. The Erie crossed the line at 9:35, with the Taslunoo a length astern of her. By the time the boats had reached Will son avenue, the Erie had gained a further lead, and had left her oppon ent three lengths in the rear. At about 10 o'clock the official tim ers returned to shore, coming in on the tug Frank W., of the Great Lakes Towing Co., which had been used as the stake boat. They gave the offi cial time as follows: The Erie crossed the line at 0:37:00 and the Tashmoo at 9:35:31. CHARGES SUSTAINED.

Herron, former professor of applied Christianity in lowa college, at Gritj nell, is no longer a Congregationalist. He was tried by a council of ministers and elders of the church representing eight organizations, sitting at Grin nell yesterday, on the cha-rge of "eon duct unbecoming a Christian and a gentleman." Evidence was introduced to show cruel treatment of his "unusually loyal and devoted wife," which final ly resulted in divorce proceedings and legal separation. A lengthy letter from Dr. Herron was presented in his defense, but at the close of it's consid eration the council decided that the charges were sustained and voted unanimously to expel him from the church.
