There were some plain, incontro vertible facts stated in St. Clair Mc- Kelway's letter to the Manhattan club, which Mr. Hill had completely ignored when he prepared bis plan for reconstructing the democracy by making it, instead of a party of no definite policy, a party of all policies that it lias had since the sixties, says tlie Albany Journal. Mr. McKelway litis bis eyes open to conditions, lie has learned wis dom from the sad experience of his i party's past, lie knows that the tlem- > oeratie party cannot ever hope to win success by resurrecting issues that are dead, by continuing the pro mulgation of doctrines which the people have rejected, lie understands that in a country whose government is for and by the people, a party that ! asks to be intrusted with the man-' agemcnt of the people's affairs must 1 give the people what they want, that J it can never win their confidence and j support by trying to force upon | them what it wants and they do not. j Mr. McKelway accepts the facts that the people are committed to, the gold standard, and to expansion, that they are determined that free capital as well as free labor shall j j have its rights, that they want an • ! interoceanie canal, a navy befitting > | the country's greatness, and it re- \ j stored commerce, and he asserts J without qualification that the party j which will secure to thein these j things will be intrusted by them 1 HOW TO BE BEAUTIFUL.

I I relegated to obscurity. And Mr. Ilill wants the party to i declare for bimetallism, against ex : pansion, against the right of capital : to engage in large industrial enter- j | prises! He wants it to take up again j | the tinkering with the tariff that was responsible for the last period of i i commercial and industrial depression ! through which the country passed. ' | It is almost a wonder that he does j i not go a little farther back into the { past and call for resurrection of the ! democracy's declaration that the war | for the preservation of the union was a failure and that reconstruction ; was unconstitutional. Mr. Hill has shown himself to lie a man as dangerous to the country's interests as Mr. Bryan was in 1596 , ! and again in 1900. The rumor that Mr. Bryan favors his candidacy in 1904 is denied, but it would not have been strange, if true, if we supposed, that Mr. Bryan himself had re-j nounced his ambition. Mr. Hill lias j shown himself to be a man after Mr. { Bryan's own heart. It is well that the people of the i United Slates have received timely warning. They will have ample time to prepare themselves to resist the renewed attack upon their prosper ity which probable leaders of the de mocracy are contemplating. CURRENT COMMENT.

CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, MARCH 20, 1902 INSINCERITY OF DEMOCRATS. Conviction of (lie Party Kefore (hp Ami'ririiii I'«-o|»le by It« I Iter I tireliability. Tlie democratic member's of the United States senates have been ex tremely loud and constant in their professions of benevolent intentions toward the Filipinos. They have in sisted that the administration and the republican party have been op pressing the Filipinos. They have denied the inght of congress to im pose discriminating' taxes upon the products t>C any part of the national domain. They have held that the 1 Filipinos must be either citizens or I subjects. On the theory of citizen ship they have declaimed against j taxing them without giving them rep | resentation, says the Chicago inter Ocean. A few days ago the opportunity j was presented to the indignant demo ! eratie senators to prove their be -1 nevolence to the Filipinos. A bill [ was to be voted onto encourage I'liil ! ippine industry by remitting ».") per I cent, of our tariff on island products, ! and to remit certain insular taxes | upon such products when imported ; into the l ni!ed States. Senator For- ; Inker and 22 other republican sena ; tors thought this concession was not enough, and Filipinos de | served more liberal treatment. Sen ! a tor Foraker moved to amend the J | bill by making the reduction in our j : tariff 50 per cent. How then did the democratic sena | tors live up to their professions of ! sympathy and benevolence and make their deeds square with their words? I Did they vote for the Foraker amend ment and thus relieve the Filipinos ' of a large share of the "arbitrary taxation" which they have so vigor- 1 oiuly condemned? Only six of them ! proved their sincerity by so vioting. ] Eighteen of them voted the other , way. Among those 18 democrats were 1 Messrs. Uailcy, Culberson, Dubois, Money, Patterson, Kawlins, Teller , and Vest, all most acrid critics fit' the republican policy toward the islands.' and all constantly bubbling over with sympathy for the Filipinos. If only these eight democrats had voted as! they talked the Foraker amendment | would have been adopted. The Fili pinos would have been relieved of j one-half of the taxi's now imposed on i their products at our custom houses. Hut these eight gentlemen would not have it. In the United States senate, as I elsewhere, men must be judged not | by their words, but by their deeds. liy their votes on the Foraker amend- j ment is of the 24 democrats present ate their words and repudiated their party's declaration of policy. Their words professed friendship and be nevolence towards the Filipinos. Their deeds were those of injury and hostility. liy its deeds is the democratic party convicted before the American peo ple of utter insincerity.

Senate Had Voted to Kemove tlie ; Charge o|" Desertion I'ruiii a uar K «><•<> r<l - - l l rcMdcii ( Sayv Mill In UnjiiHt Co Ulcii Who Were Faithful to Duty. Washington, March 12. —President Roosevelt on Tuesday sent his first veto message to congress. Jt was directed to the senate and the bilL vetoed was one removing the charge of desertion from the naval record of John Cilass. The message was as follows: "There can be no graver crime than the crime of desertion from the army or navy, especially during war; it is then high treason to the nation and is justly punishable by death. So man should be relieved from such a crime, especially when nearly 40 years have 'passed since it occurred, I save on the clearest possible proof of his real innocence. In this case ! the statement made by the atliant be- j fore the committee does not in all j points agree with bis statement made to the secretary of the navy. "In any event it is incomprehen sible to me that he should have made effective effort to gel back into the navy. lie had served but little more i than a month when he deserted, and ' the war lasted for over a year after- ! wards, yet he made no effort what- ! ever to get back into the war. Un- | tier such circumstances it seems to I me that to remove the charge of de- j sertion from the navy and give him j an honorable discharge would be to j falsify the records and do an injus- j tice to his gallant comrades who fought the war to a finish. The names of the veterans who fought in | the civil war make the honor list of j the republic; and I am not willing to j put upon it the name of a man un- ! worthy of the high position." After the message had been deliv- ! ered Senator Gallinger, from the j committee on naval affairs, read the | report of the committee on which the : senate acted. From that statement I it appeared that (ilass enlisted in j January, isoi, when only 10 years of j age, and that, having witnessed an j act which compromised the second i officer of the ship, he was taken ! ashore in March of that year by that j officer and told not to report again j for duty. The committee say that | this order, together with (ilass' i youth, was responsible for his deser- j tion. THE SEALERS' STRIKE. It Is ICtitled by (fivinu Tlietti an Ad vance In Wanes. St.. John's, X. F., March 12. —The sealers' strike here is ended and the | sealing steamers have sailed for the j ice floes. The men Tuesday after- ' noon refused the owners' offer of | s:s.so for seals, besides the abolition ! of all berth charges. As a result of this refusal, public opinion strongly condemned the men, J the concessions accorded by the own- j ers being regarded as liberal. Some | of the crews then withdrew from the majority and decided to accept the owners* terms. The police afforded these men protection and enabled the owners and crews to reach the ships in spite of the threatening overtures of the strikers. In the meanwhile scores of men joined the i .ither ships. The aggressive strikers boarded these vessels and drove the men u bore, but they could not keep pace •villi the defections. Finally the „ linittee of the strikers, seeing I that the situation was getting be- | ml their control, decided to accejpt j • lie owners' terms and ordered the | strike off. The committee directed :• 11 the men to join their ships and j within two hours the ships had crews I and were sailing to sea. The terms of the settlement arc that the men shall get $3.50, as j against $.'!.2. r i last year, per hundred | ' veiglit for seals; they also get free j berths, as against the former charge I of $3. A CYCLONE IN TEXAS. »!in h Property Ilemtroyptl and Two ' People Fatally Injured. Dallas, Tex., March 12.—A cyclone I yesterday swept through the south ern suburbs of Dallas and passed on toward the northeast, levelling fences and destroying small farm buildings in its path. At De Soto, 14 miles from Dallas, three dwelling houses and two stores, including the post office, were demol ished. One of the dwelling houses destroyed was that of,l. M. Johnson. His 4-year-old daughter was so badiy | injured that she died. Three miles east of Dallas, the dwelling house of T. D. Reagan was j wrecked. The family escaped with- | out injury. In Queen City, the ex- j tremc southern suburb of Dallas, six I dwelling houses were blown to pieces j by the wind. Mrs. George Bray re- | ceived fatal injuries. Mr. liray and j children were seriously injured. C. i D. Bourne, wife and child, and Al bert Ewing and family were away from home. Their house was literal- ' ly torn to pieces, and a negro servant I was badly hurt. A score or more of other houses were badly damaged, but not wrecked. The property loss in Dallas county will reach at least SIOO,OOO. A .lliuilc ipal Ownership Move.
