To the Republican electors of Penn sylvania:— 112 am directed by the Republican State Committee to announce that the Republicans of Pennsylvania, by their duly chosen representatives, will meet in Convention at the Opera House, in the city of Harrisburg, on Wednesday, August 21st, 1901, at 10:30 o'clock a. in. for the purpose of nominating candi dates for the following ofllees, to-wit: One person for the office of Justice of the Supreme Court. One person for the office of State Treasurer. In accordance with the rules govern ing the organization, the representa tion in the State Convention will be based on the vote polled at the last Presidential election. Under the rules each legislative district is entitled to one delegate for every two thousand votes cast for the Presidential Electors in 1900, and an additional delegate for every fraction of two thousand votes polled in excess ot one thousand. By order of the Republican State Committee. FRANK REEDER, Chairman. EDITORIAL riENTION. Poets usually change their jingle a good deal oftener than they jingle their change. + * Don't forget that collars are wilted both from hard work and from snooz ing. -*• + When a woman ceases to care what she looks like in her bathing suit, she must be getting old. W. J. Bryan has purchased the writ ings of Thomas Jefferson. We hope that he may And time to read them. Marvellous to relate, none of the New York yellows have yet claimed the credit of the drop in the temperature. Possibly the lightning bug ' Blunders through existence with its bead-light on behind" in order to avoid rear end collisions. -t- ♦ Professor Moore is feeling pretty bad over the attacks on him by New York papers. He needn't! New York has a candidate for his job- That's all. The people of Omaha are angry be cause there wasn't enough killing at the recent bull fight out there. Why don't they get up an excursion to the stock-yards? + t ♦ 4 The chances are that the Rogers will be broken. Quite right, too. Let a man make provision for art if he will, but let him not forget his natural heirs altogether. It is not at 'east possible that the re cent bank failures are due to ill-advised clemency towards those convicted of wrecking such institutions. Nine or ten bank embezzlers are pardoned every year. ■f + President McKinley, it is said, has become convinced that it will be use less to urge reciprocity in the next Congress, and will abolish the Recipro city Commission. We hope the report is untrue. + j Consul General Stowe at Capetown has followed the lead of the late Adal bert Ilay and resigned, having found his salary altogether inadequate to live on in war times. If Uncle Sam wants to keep good men lie must at least pay their living expenses. .i t It's curious that the Populists should get so angry because the Republicans are making estimates of Mr. Bryan's fortune. They don't hesitate to make re mark 3 about the wealth of J. Pier pont Morgan and the rest of the million aires. Turn about is fair play. We'll hazard the prophecy that the next big political fight will be on re ciprocity with Cuba and that it will be the hottest sort of one. The sugar and tobacco interests will fight the admis sion of those products tooth and nail, while Cuba must stako her very exis ence o their entry. Let Well Enough Alone. It is estimated that the men em ployed in the different concerns composing the United States Steel Company number 189,000 receiving 815,000.000 a month in wages, says American Economist. This would be an average of about SBO a month each, or 82.(Hi per day. liut this only represents those directly em ployed. At least half a million arc employed in dependent industries, averaging probably 82 per day, or $300,000,000 a year. Even this docs not include the many thou sands engaged in transposition, nor does it include the thousands of managers and clerks whose sala ries amount- to many million of dollars more. Here alone is a pur chasing power of enormous strength which traverses every channel of industry. Many of these men own stock in the great concer or loan it money from which they receive dividends or interest. It is such items as this which make up our immense home market and create a domestic demand for the products of farm and factory beside which our export trade is in significant-. There is no reason why we should not extend foreign markets as much as possible, but not even at the expense of our sure home market. Free-Traders would ruin this constant domestic demand for the sake of an entrance to a foreign market which we might or might not retain. By letting in a flood of the products of cheap fore ign labor we would soon have an adverse balance of trade and our own purchasing power would at once decline because of idleness and lower wages at home. We might better try to sell nothing abroad than to sacrifice a single domesticindustry. Ourhomemark et is probably fifty times the worth of all foreign markets. Let us preserve it to the fullest extent possible, reaching abroad as well in search of customers for our surplus products. We are increasing our foreign markets very rapidly as it is, much faster than is Free-Trade England. Let well enough alone is a good rule in markets as in everything else. Who Pays the Tariff. We call the attention of the Free- Traders to the attitude taken by the Powers in reference to the proposition made by China that she increase her customs duties in or der to raise sufficient revenue with which to pay the indemnities de manded, says the American Econo mist. All unmindful of the claim that the consumer pays the Tariff, which has, according to Free-Trade judgment, been so thoroughly prov en to be correct, the Powers refused to consent to China's proposal to increase customs duties on the ground that this would lay the burden on the foreign producers, who would have to pay the increas ed duties imposed. So far as ap pears, the Powers were all agreed in respect to this holding. Here is food for thought for Mr. Cleve land, who in his message in ISB7, held that the Tariff "raised the price to the consumers of all articles imported and subject to duty by precisely the sum paid for such duties." Here is afield worthy of all the energies of the New England Free-Trade League. There would seem to be room here for an indefi nite number of Free-Trade syndi cated articles designed to prove that the consumer pays the Tariff. Even Free-Trade England offers a field for such work, for she seems, with the other Powers, to have in dorsed the Protectionist claim, or, perhaps we might better say, seems to have acquiesced in what all ex perience has proved to be true, viz: that it is the seller and not the buyer who pays the Tariff. In an editorial under thedaption. "The Day Begins to Dawn," Henry Watterson, in the Louisville Cour ier-Journal, discusses the Ohio State convention, and the turning down of Mr. Bryan and the Kansas City platform. He says: "At last the Buckeye valiants are tired of sucking eggs that have no meat in them. They realize that inflation ism in all its forms is a losing card. They want to win. To win they must get together. To get together they must get away from dead is sues, and line up on live issues. Mr. Bryan has had both his chance and his day. Ilis plea for another trial will not hold water. Ilis dictation no longer exercises any power of command. It means simple hopeless division, continued defeat, ultimate ruin. Anybody with half a mind can see this plainly." CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, JULY 18, 1901. Shippen School board Proceedings.

The custom of wishing a friend "a happy foot" is to be found in all parts of Europe, and it goes to show how much superstition is connected with our footgear. It is to he assumed that the well fitting hoot or shoe, which en ables a person to walk in comfort, is symbolical of happiness. The accidental placing of the right shoe on the left foot, putting a shoe on awry or the breaking of a lace is a had sign from the popular point of view. To tie the shoe of another Indi vidual is indicative of humility and lowly position, yet the Chinese wor ship the shoes of an upright judge. There is a curious superstition in some parts of England which advises that when the youngest daughter mar ries before her sisters the latter should dance at her wedding without shoes in order to insure husbands for them selves. On St. Valentine's eve, accord ing to a similar custom, girls should hang their slioes outside tho window if they wish to secure lovers. Some actresses carefully preserve the boots they wore when they scored their first success and wear them on all im portant occasions. Got For tli«» Money. A gentleman living in a rural part of England sent his coachman to a neigh boring village for 5 shillings' worth of penny stamps. After a time John returned from his tramp of two miles. Ilis face wore a self satisfied look when he came into bis employer's pres ence. "Got the stamps, John*! 1 " "Yes, sir," the man replied, handing over a batch of halfpenny stamps. "I said penny stamps, John, and you Lave got halfpenny ones." "Yes, sir," and the smile widened. "I asked for 5 shillings' worth of stamps, an the postmaster says, 'Halfpenny or penny?' 'Do you sell halfpenny stamps?' I asked. 'Yes,' said be. 'Well,' says I, 'if you can buy stamps for a halfpenny, what's the use of payin a penny?' An I bought the halfpenny stamps, sir."—Loudon Telegraph. One reason why there are so many bachelors now is that men are never asked any more to hold skeins of yarn while the girls wind.
