Subject to Decision of Senatorial Convention.] EDITORIAL fIENTION. The Democrats assert that tropic al colonies have never been com mercially successful, yet the tropics of the globe are governed by tem perate zone nations. More American manufactures have been exported during the past fiscal year than during the entire period the Democrats controlled tin* goverment of the I 'nited States. The Democrats maintain that the Philippine war was needless. True we could have abandoned the Is lands to tlie < ierman Admiral who annoyed Dewey, but then Dewey was not built that way. Possibly one reason why tlio Democrats are so opposed to the Philippine policy ofthe Administra tion is because the "Commoner'' pictured a Maeabebc scout as a full blooded negro. Criminal aggression against the Pilipinosonsisjs in building ports, roads and schoolhouses. in insist ing 011 sanitary measures, in provid ing a low equitable tariff and in aiding them to learn the art of self-government. A million dollars worth of opium recently arrived at San Francisco. The Democratic leaders might be able to see a victory in November next if they could only procure that consigment for use in their own pipes. The tours being made by Presi dent Roosevelt are splendid object lessons in patriotism and cannot help doing much good. His pride in being made an "Honorary Loco motive Km n an" was evident and genuine. W tions of this character will go far t jwards combating the Demur- ':<■ endeavors to divide our population into two hostile camps —into capital's camp and labor's camp —tin* camp of the classes and the camp of the masses. Lookout for Congress. The Republicans of the country, says tlie liucks County (la/.ette, will have to be more watchful than UMial in this off political year if they do not lose their majority in the lower House of Congress. The new apportionment in several Southern States will turn numerous districts over to Democrats audit is figured that the Republican ma jority in next House will be only The Democrats think they see a chance to wipe this out by extra efforts.

Pennsylvania in the recent past j has been subject to so much adverse comment in other States that it is j interesting to note how the present j situation is regarded. The New | York Sun, in discussing the po- j litical situation in the State lias | something to say concerning hap- i penings behind the scenes. The 1 Sun sees in I'attison merely an j ambitious politician whose friends | would seek to enter him for the ! Presidential race if by any strange j chance, ''volcanic upheaval,'' the \ Sun calls it, ho should be eleeted. The Sun believes that Penny packer will not look beyond the ollice of j (iovernor and will "perform its; important duties upon the same | principles that always governed him in his private and public life— j It is always safe to do what is j right." The views of the Sun con- j cerning the character and motives \ of the two candidates are especially ! interesting. They indicate that in j the Sun ollice, at least, the nomi nation of Judge Pennypacker is regarded as a fortunate circum stance for the Republican party and for the people of Pennsylvania. But the Sun makes other comments equally interesting. It devotes a little attention to Guffey as the earnest and disinterested advocate of reform. It says of Guffey that "his eagle eye is fixed upon the Senatorship as eagerly as the eye of his political followers is fixed upon his barrel filled to bursting, (iuffeyhas no idea that I'attison will get any nearer to the (iover nor ship than Singerly did eight years ago, when he proclaimed for the Democratic principles and policies from the Delawere to Lake Erie —the louder and longer he talked the higher rose the majority of his opponent, until it reached '_»50,000. < iuffey and I'attison have planned to avoid Singerly mistake in 1801, and instead of rending the mountains for Democratic princi ples they will proclaim against Republican "imperialisn" and Re publican policies, and it is current belief that the more I'attison talks on that line the more and more will Guffey's chances for a seat in the United States Senate shrink and wither like a beautiful and fragrant Mower of hothouse culture exposed to the cruel frosts of November.'" That the Sun has sized np the situation aright will become more apparent as the campaign proceeds. Popular Suffrage in the South. Senator Patterson of Colorado, in discussing the Philippine Civil Government Bill, in the United States Senate last May said it was a monstrous piece of legislation be cause it would not permit more than 5 per cent, of the people in the Is lands to vote. The Southern Demo crats endorsed the views of the Colorado Senator. But what shocks the Democratic Senators in the Philippines does not disturb them at home. South Carolina, the State of Tillman, and Mississip pi, the State of Money, hold elec tions year after year and claim to be among the oldest States in the Union, but neither of these States cast enough votes in 1000 to equal I percent, of the population. The vote of South Carolina was about .'>.<» per cent, of the population, while tbe total vote of Mississippi was equal to .'s.x per cent, of the population. In South Carolina, where Tillman boasts that they have a white man's government, there were, according to the census of MM Ml, RiO,.'i7s white males of voting age, and the total vote of the State in that year was only 50,- 815, or a little more than one-third of the white men of voting age in i the State, and only one-fifth of the j men of voting age. t'ould any ! tiling be more farcial in popular I government than the State of Suuth j < urolina even as a white man'.- government? Mis.»i»ippi i- no better. There are 1 50,5.'10 white males of voting age in that State \ and the total vote in the last Presi dential election was.V.», |o;{. There were little more than one-third the white men of the State voting, and lc-- than one-fifth of the voters whit* and colored recorded as j voting. In (."orjda, the St. i|e of Senator CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 1902. Bacon, another critic of the Philip pine hill, only 5 per cent, of the ! population voted in 1900; in Texas it was 13 per cent; in Virginia 14 i percent; while in Ohio there was | 25 per cent of the population re- j corded as voting in 1900; in New York 21 per cent; and in Illinois 23 per cent. It is from (Jeorgia, Alabama, South Carolina and Miss issippi that solid Democratic dele gations will he elected in Novem- : her. South Carolina will elect j Congressmen and Mississippi will i elect eight with fewer votes than J are required to elect one member of the House from Ohio, Illinois or New York. It is this unequal rep- i resentation which makes neees- , nary a harder fight in every .Nort h ern State to prevent the South from controlling Congress. Why Democrats Are Sad. The St. I'aul Globe, like other Democratic Organs of the West, is discouraged by the good crops, and good prices that make the farmers prosperous, and unwilling to listen to the wail of the calamity howler. The Globe asks: "Is the rain fall due to Dingley tariff schedules or to New Jersey trust extortions? If the ballot of the American citizen can be con trolled by the rainfall and the crop yield, where is the boasted intelli gence and independence of the Re public?" The Globe and all other Demo cratic organs should remember President Cleveland's maxim: '•lt is a condition and not a theory which confronts us.'' The Ameri can people are capable of judging theories by conditions, and while the rainfall has brought forth good crops this year, the same was true in 1800 and the farmers were not prosperous or happy. In that last year of Democratic administration and low tariff schedules in the Wilson-Gorman law, the rainfall was good and the corn crop the largest in the history of the country, either before or since that date, un less this year's crop shall surpass it. We produced 2,28.3,875,165 bushels of corn in IN,SO and it sold at an average price of 21.5 per bushel at the farm, making the total farm value of the crop 8491,- 006,957. In 1 i>«»I the corn crop was more than 750,000,00(1 bushels less than in 1890 and the value of it nearly doubled that of the Demo cratic tariff year. In 1901 the average price of coin at the farm was 00.5 cents, and the total farm value 8921.555,708. The rain fall is not the only agency for pros perity even on the farm. The wheat crop was much smaller in 1890 than in 1901 but it did not bring increased price due to its scarcity, because there was a scarc ity of labor and wages to purchase wheat bread. In 1X96 the wheat crop amounted to 427,684,346 bushels and the farm value of the crop was $310,(505,539. Last year the wheat crop amounted to 74X,- 400,218 bushels and the farm value was 8467,350,156. The oat crop in 1896 amounted to 707,346,404 bushels and its farm value was *132,4X5,033. In 1901 the oat crop amounted to 73(5,X0X,724 bushels and its farm value was 8293,655,777. While the <>at crop as larger by only 30, 000,000 bushels | last year the value; was more than double that of Ix!i6. These are the j conditions on the farm which are einbarrasing to the calamity howl ers. They iind that Nature and | the Dingley law are cooperating this year and giving calamity it j back seaf Wlieu u trump an ax<• it always uiv»:> him a -plitting licatluilic. DR.
