The* More the case <>f Senator 'Pill nan is considered the less occasion for charitable judgment. He is al ways abusive, forever making charges and attacking the motives of other men. Kven in the speech in which he lately assailed McLauriu he saiil to all the republican senators: "Politically you are the most infa mous cowards and hypocrites that ever happened." That is not fit lan guage for the senate, and the won der is that the man who speaks it is permitted to utter it about as often as he speaks in the senate. In his so-called apology he repeated in less vehement language the same sentiment. It is an apology and an insult. If he fails to agree with other senators they are "more or less despicable" and will be the ob jects of his free abuse. In fact, he is in the senate as a protest against the educated and better element of his state. He came into public life by making war upon such men in the senate as liens. Wade Hampton and Hutler. llis domination in the af fairs of South Carolina meant the overthrow of the better element, llis is a case of the survival of the uu fittest. It is a far call from the gallant and courteous Wade Hamp ton to the bullying and fonl-moutlied Tillman. It is sad to feel that the people of South Carolina find a bet ter representative in Tillman than in Wade Hampton. The senate is the judge of the qualifications of its own members. It has expelled members for treason able conduct and utterances and for holding seats obtained by bribery. It would he justified in unseating a man who is constantly assailing the mo tives of those with whom he does not agree, and also on the ground that the senate is no place for a man who exhibits Tillman's characteris tics. He should have been expelled, or at least censured, for declaring that he and his friends suppressed the negro voters in South Carolina by shooting them. A man who glor ies in the mr/rder of American cit izens should not be permitted to sit in the national congress. If all the democrats stood by Tillman the two thirds necessary to expel cannot be obtained. Cnable to do that, the re publicans should investigate the charges he has made, and in con nection therewith, if not sustained, they should declare that the man who makes such charges against senators and charges American sol diers with the practice of cruelties upon Filipinos is not fit to sit in the senate. Years have passed since the sen ate has beeifVlisgraced by a personal collision between senators. In fact, there is but one case on record, when Senator Foote was the aggres sor in an assault upon Senator lien ton. Those were the days when dif ferences were settled by the duel. The American people have made prog ress in refinement and public mor als, so that such an outrage as that which occurred in the senate the other day causes much more indig nation than a similar offense years ago. The senate should recognize this fact and make the punishment as severe as possible, to the end that blackguardism shall cease in that body. Ilryan ItonrboiiiMMi. Mr. I'ryan has resolutely accepted bourbonism as his portion. The man seems to have made up his mind that he will never learn and never forget. In his speech at the dinner of the Al bert Williams Democratic club in Tonia a few nights ago tl: • peerless leader once more exalfed the silver gods above all the other gods. "If the silver question is dead, why be afraid of a corpse?" he asked. "If there is enough life left in it to scare a goldlmg. there is enough life in it to be saved." The I'.ryanic method of argument has become as well defined as the Socratie. In the logic of Mr. P.ryan the truth of an economic prin ciple varies inversely with the square of tlit- opposition. The more general the opposition the more true the prin ciple is. Its political utility varies by the same law. The more opposition there is to the principle the more avail able it is for political purposes. The ideal platform, according to Mr. Ary an's scheme of things, is one that no body favors and everybody opposes.— Detroit Free Press fDem.).

CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, MARCH 13, 1902 A DEMOCRATIC MISTAKE. Su-t nliril l.cnilerM of the l'lirtj Do Nul ISeml ihr HiisM Dope on tlie Philippine (luedtlon. The Nashville American, one of the prominent tlemoeriuic newspapers of the country, bus 110 delusions as to the Philippine question. Alluding to the situation as developed at Wash ington, where certain democratic senators and representatives linve as sumed an attitude of hostility to the administration's policy in the islands, the American remarks: "If the <|iies t ion of surrendering the Philippines is not made the leading or a leading issue in the next national campaign, it will not be the fault of some of the senators of the democratic mi nority. It seems to be the misfor tune of the democratic party that it has fallen into a condition in which it is possible for those to assume to lie leaders, and to be so recognized, who, in better and braver days of the party would have been among the last to be selected as material for leadership." And then it adds: "If such leadership. If it Is leadership, is to continue and Is to he follow*d, the parly will be finally forced to put up Its shutters and so out of business, or else continue as the sad rimnunt and enfeebled u I'■ ■st of a once sxeat and powerful party. The mis takts and blunders of the list two cam paigns seem to have taught nothing to some of thost who aspire to be leadi rs or who assume to speak for the party. Is It because they are Incapable of learning;? >r Is It be cause they prefer personally to pur sue a cheap and easy course which re quires neither ability nor courage and which has brought tin m into some noto riety, as the wave of populism brought ob scure men temporarily to the front? These seem to be able to view with some degree of complacency continued national defeat so long as tht y are permitted to parade as party ieaders anil patriots during the cam paigns, and to occupy the few best offices which the comparatively few democratic states and districts still have at their dis posal—such as governor, senator and con gressmen. Hut while this situation may be largely satisfactory to them it is rather rouith on the party as a w hole. "Tf any democratic leader, so-callod, thinks that the American voters will rally to the standard of any party on the propo sition to surrender the Philippine islands, which are as mueh th« property of the United States as the District of Columbia, he is Inexcusably ignorant of th temper and spirit of the American people. The r.oisy few who are clamoring for a policy of surrender may deceive a few individuals, but if any p.irty allows itself to be de eeived and misled as to their numbers by their noise li will not fail to meet with ft rude awakening." That is talk straight from the shoulder, says the Troy Times, and it reflects the opinion of a great many earnest and honest democratic news papers. It would seem, from llie course most of the democrats in congress are pursuing that the only periodical they read is the Com moner, published at Lincoln, Neb. It would pay them to glance now and then over other of their party pa pers, or if they haven't time for that, get in connection with a wideawake clipping bureau. The democratic statesman who thinks he is making himself popular by proposing a cow ardly abandonment of the Philip pines doesn't interpret aright llie signs of the times or understand the temper of the American people. NO FEAR OF A COMBINE. K*- iKMlNtimt Treasurer Ynmlrrlip Sny* There IN \« DnnH'erof ICuro pcn II Tariff i(epr IKH IM. The best judgment in Europe and America is, i believe, pretty well agreed on the futility of a European tariff alliance against the United States, says Frank A. Vanderlip, in Seribner's. Not one of our ambas sadors or ministers believes it is a feasible programme for the Euro pean states, no matter how antago nistic European statesmen may be come toward us on account of our commercial success in foreign fields. I found no important banker or man ufacturer who thought it probable that tlie conflicting interests of the various states could be brought to any harmonious point of view from which to formulate such a tariff. Undoubtedly it is a dream in the minds of many people who have not a clear idea of the difficulties in volved, but certainly the best judg ment of the two continents seems against the feasibility of the idea. Conflicting interests can never lie harmoni/ed so that, an agreement will be reached among the nations. Indeed, conflicling interests in the dual monarchy itself can probably never be harmoni/ed so as to sup port Count Ooluchowski's pro gramme. Austria is a manufacturing country. Her people have highly de veloped artistic faculties and a deft ness and skill which make her a leader in certain of the finer lines of production, and she lias some standing as a producer of iron, steel and machinery. Hungary, on the other hand, is as yet almost altogether an agricultural country. Austria wants high tariff and cheap food; Hungary would like to exclude foreign food and have the advantage of cheap foreign manufac tures. The two parts of the mon archy are held together liy a slender thread and the fretful people that compose the two nations will only agree that that bond may bold them for ten years at a time.

The minute there is any trouble, nothing but an operation will do them ; one hundred dollars and costs, and included in the costs are pain, and agony, and often death. " I suffered for eight years with ovarian troubles ; spent hundreds of dollars for relief, until two doctors agreed that an operation was my only chance of life. My sister had been using LijdiiilS. Piak liam's Vegetable Compound for her troubles, and been cured, and she strongly urged me to let the doctors go and try the Com pound. I did so as a last resort; used it faithfully with the Sana tive Wash for five months, and was rejoiced to find that my troubles were over and my health restored. If women would only try Lydia E.
