BRYAN STILL ON DECK. Tline In a I. (trice ami I'otenl ICleinent of lln* Urnivvracy Sllrkint; to 111 in, Mr. Bryan's recent visit to Washing ton has set a great many persons guess ing. Perhaps the most philosophical consideration of the matter, taking into view Mr. Bryan's relations to the active forces of his party, is that made by the Washington Star. It notes two suggestive things in connection with the visit of Ihe late candidale. One of them way that of his reception on the senate si le of the capitol was less cordial than <>n the house side, and the other that the younger men of the party are ihe ones who seek him out. The Star adds that Mr. Bryan was never a favorite with the democratic mem bers of the senate. His prominence upset too many senatorial hopes and interfered with the old system which lodged the control of the party in the hands of a comparatively few veterans. The Star adds: "Mr. Bryan hue from Ihe outset beer tb» choice of Ihe younger men of the party. They "whoopi d II up" for him at Chicago at the time of his tlrst nomination. A young man himself, handsome, confident and elequent, he appealed to thetn stror»gly. It tickled thrm greatly to see hitn elbow hi:; way to tin' front and displace veterans' j like Bland and Boles and Blackburn, and when he did so they seized the standards i In the convention hall and formed that marching procession of howling < nthuslasts whose demonstration made the nomination. And the young men of the party are still very proud of their young leader. They cling to him even In <3t fi at, and neglect no opportunity to testify to their admiration and devotion. "We see, then, in this the difficulty under which the democratic party at present j labors. The older members are anti-Bryan, j They have supported him twice, but they see his shortcomings as a leadt rand are | not patient under a proposition to try him ! again. Time is a great element in their calculations. If they are to witness there turn of their party to power it must be ! soon. The younger men are nrit disturbed by tills consideration. They, too, want to | win, but when Mr. Bryan says that the I party can afford to wait for success and ; must meanwhile stick to principles they I harken to a man of grit and character. \ Still, if success is to be achieved the older Inn n and the younger men must get to- I gether, and under Mr. Bryan or somebody else work like the nation with but one end In view. A party divided ayainst U.- j cannot win." Mr. Ilryan himself probably knows ; the situation as well as anyone, says the. Troy Times. lie understands that i his strength is with the young, the ! emotional and the ardent but largely undisciplined element of bis party the element which is not discouraged | by defeat, because that serves to give [ him a romantic and sympathetic inter est in such eyes. It is harder to bring this element into the traces of stern j party rule the rule which recognizes the fact that to succeed there must be concession, sacrifice of personal preferences and unison in essentials jin orderto win success—than any other with which political management line to deal. That element of the democratic par ty a large ami potent one is still solidly with Mr. Bryan, if appearances igo for anything. \nd be also has his grasp on the party machinery. If tlie older democratic heads in the country at large and the grave and reverend seniors of that party in the senate think Mr. Bryan has passed so com pletely that he is no longer to be rcck j oned with in computing chances tliey ; are making what appears to be a gi ! gantie mistake. HARD TIMES THRIVERS. It 1* Only U lien t»ic f'mintry Suffer* from Ady Tliat DcmocrntN Are Happy. The democrats of the senate have prepared u report giving the reasons why they are opposed to the passage of the ship subsidy bill. As a matter of course they attack the bill on the ground that it is "wrong, unjust, vicious, and pure class legislation." That was to have been expected. The democrats always denounce proposed republican legislation in) that way. The Dingk-y tariff bill was so de nounced. yet it has brought unexam pled prosperity to the country. The bill to establish the gold standard was so denounced, yet it has restored busi ness confidence. In fact, tlie republic ans have proposed nothing in the way of national legislation within the past 40 years that has not been opposed by the democrats on the ground of viciousness and class favoritism. For that reason little attention will be paid to the democratic protest, against the passage of tbe ship subsidy bill, Regardless of the merits of this measure, it may be said that the dem ocrats are always ready to denounce any legislation, says the Cleveland Leader, because they can always prove that prosperity will afford an oppor tunity for the people to make money, and thus defeat the party of calamity j at the polls. It is only when the coun try is suffering from adversity that the democrats are happy. When mills are idle and men are walking the streets there is little chance to array class against class. The surest proof that the people do not trust the demo crats or pay lasting attention to their appeals to class prejudice is found in I tlie fact that whenever there are hard I times the voters always turn to tlie | republicans to restore prosperity, and they are never disappointed. The ship subsidy bill may not pass, but if it does its failure will not be due to the opposition of the democrats who attack it as "wrong, unjust, vi cious, and pure class legislation." ITTW. J. Bryan has written an article reading Grover Cleveland out of the democratie party, at the same time de claring him a political traitor, a trickster and a back number. Hecent ly, if appears. Mr. Cleveland wrote a letter to a southern admirer in which he expressed his gratification that the party "has shaken off the dreams that have afflicted it." The article is Mr. Bryan's answer.—Chicago Tribune. CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, APRIL 10, 1902 SHOWING THEIR GUILT. DemoorntN Urrnllf Ex*reined Over Ibe I'roiHiKetl Southern lit veatiieatfoii. The spasms of the democratic con gressmen unci newspapers over the re publicans' purpose to investigate the suppression of ihe negro vote in the southern slates are a confession of guilt. All that the Crumpacker meas ure, which t lie republicans oft he house intend to pass, asks for is the appoint ment of a special committee of 13 to inquire into the disfranchisement of voters in cert ain oft he southern st at es and to report to the house. The meas ure, proposes to have an intelligent, unbiased investigation made of the question, so that the count ry can know just how far the spirit of the four teenth amendment has been violated. It seeks information and not legisla tion, says the St. Louis Globe-Demo crat. If there be any "force-billism" or "bloody shirt waving" in this proposi tion, let its enemies make the most of it. But there is nothing of the sort. The committee will make a report, | but will not make any recommenda tions one way or the other. The abuses, Jif they are found, may goon indefinite ly so far as the special committee is concerned. There is 110 general desire, so far as has been revealed, fov the I passage of any bill to invoke the pun i ishuicnt on the offending states which I the const it 111 ion provides. A few mem bers have favored such legislat ion, but ! nothing of the sort is contemplated j now. Nothing of the kind is attached | to the Crumpacker proposition. Xoth- I ing is hinted at by any republican i which would justify the chnrge that, j tliere will be any enforcement of the ! principle of equality in the suffrage which the constitution assures. There are at least two reasons why the democratic shrieks of "bloody shirt ism" are foolish. They show that the democracy knows that it is open I to the charge of vote suppression \\ Inch | is made against it. The shrieks can | not have the faintest influence on the action of the republican party. To the extent to which the republicans pro pose togo, they cannot be deterred i by the threats of the bulldozers of the I democracy in the north or in the south, j All that the republicans ask is that 1 the truth as to the situation in the j offending states be laid before the j country. The democrats are afraid of the truth, and for an excellent rea ] son. The truth will hurt them, and they try to prevent it becoming known, j TTI this attempt to hide their guilt | the democrats will be beat en. FUNSTON'S STRONG PLEA. Some IMnln Truth* for till' niKCKlion of the Tnj.vsiJ SympiillifxerH ill J'liiw Country. In a characteristic talk to the meni bers and invited* guests of the kotos club of New York, lien, l'unston on Sat unlay eveninggavecounsel to which all men in 1 his country, \\ hatever t heir oflicial or social station may be, i should give heed. After relating'some I of his experiences in ihe Philippines land dwelling upon ihe forbearance, I the patience and ihe charity shown : by the American army toward the re i bellious natives, he proceeded to do i nounee the men in the I'nited St- teg | who by their speeches and writ, 7s: j are keeping ihe- spirit of insurrec*. "on alive in the archipelago. Then he said: "Think what you please about the jus tice or Ihe propriety of taking the Ph i>- , pines and of holding them; think as y.,i; please, but for heaven's sake keep j.jitr 1 mouth shut until we Bit this \v;ir stttl'd and the sovertignty of the I'nited SU.i<> i settled, and then get togi tln r In the c< in try and pull hair and tight It out among yourselves." In these few words Gen. Funston stated the gist of the plea that lias ! been made by every loyal American, I fromthclate President McKinley down, who ever expressed his sent iment s rel ative tot.lie trouble in the Philippines. So long as armed foes are opposing ; themselves to the men whom this gov j eminent has sent to enforce its just authority it is not the time to discuss 1 academic quest ions of right and wrong, j While a vestige of the insurrection re j mains il is the duty of every American j citizen to give such aid as lies in his power to its suppression, or at least, to I refrain from giving moral aid and com- j fort to his country's enemies. When j I the last . Tagal insurgent has laid down his arms and acknowledged the author ity of the United States there will be time enough to discuss the question of the ultimate disposition of the archi pelago. No man has a better right to tell Americans what their duty is in Ibis matter than Gen. Funston.says the Al» bany Journal. By his brave and efli eient service for his country he has won it.and none is better qualified to give counsel, lie has had the experi ence that gives wisdom. There is no American so old and so wise that he can affordi to disregard the words of the intrepid lit 1 le warrior, the staunch j patriot, from the state of Kansas. COMMENT AND OPINION.

I A Noted Knight Templar Owes His Hsatfi to Perm. Colonel T. I'. Moody, a prominent Knight Templar, is well knownin every city in the United States west of Buf falo, X. V., as a Jeweler's Auctioneer. In the city of Chicago as a prominent lodge man, being a member of the K. T.'s and also of the Masons. The cut shows Colonel Moody in the costume of the Oriental Consistory Masons, 32nd degree. In a recent letter from 5900 Mich igan avenue, Chicago, 111., Mr. Moody says the following: " For over twenty-five years / suffered from catarrh, and for over ten years / suffered from catarrh of the stomach terribly. " I have taken all kinds of medi cines and have been treated by all kinds of doctors,-as thousands of my acquaintances arc aware in different parts of the United States, where I have traveled, but my relief was only temporary, until a little over a year ago 1 started to take Peruna, and at the present time / am better than / have been for twenty years. "The soreness has left my stom ach entirely and / am free from indigestion and dyspepsia and will say to all who are h oubled with Catarrh or stomach trouble of any kind, don't put it off and suffer, but begin to take Peruna right away, and keep it up until you are cured, as you surely will be if you persevere. "My wife, as many in the southwest can say, was troubled with a bad cough and bronchial trouble, anil doc tors all over the country gave her up to die, as they could do nothing more for her. She began taking Peruna with the res-ult that she is better now than she has been in years, and her cough has almost left her entirely. The sore ness lias left lier lungs and she is as well as she ever was in her life, with thanks, as she says, to Peruna. Yours very truly, T. I'. Moody. Catarrh in its various forms is rapid ly becoming a general curse. An un doubted remedy has been discovered by Dr. Hartinan. This remedy lias been thoroughly tested during the past forty years. Prominent men have come to know of its virtues, and are making public utterances on the sub ject. To save the country we must save the people. To save the people we must protect tliem from disease.
