President Roosevelt lias defied

The Senate has completed its
anti-trust program.
The Senior Senator from Ala
bama may precipitate an extra ses
sion.
Senator Beveridge is in training
for second place on the next nation
al ticket.
1 lad there been an Elkins bill on
the statutes the Standard Oil Trust
could never have been formed.
It is to be hoped that Secretary
Hay's commission will settle for all
time the Alaskan boundary dispute.
.Minister Bowen's diplomacy has
compelled Germany to show herself
in her true colors in the Venezuelan
case.
The American people will con
demn longer neglect of the Cuban
treaty. It must be ratified if an
extra session is required.
President B:ter has made a pro
position to the anthracite miners
making the present wages the mini
mum for the next three years.
In the case of Tillman vs. Crum,
Tillman wins first round. But
President Roosevelt says he will
keep Crum in training all summer.
President Roosevelt has espoused
the cause of the neoole of Alaska
to the consternation of the corpora
tions which practically rule that
territory.
Kvery patriotic American must
condemn the action of the demo
cratic senators it attempting to pre
vent currency legislation for the
Philippines.
The democrats in the Senate
would deny statehood to the four
territories because of their selfish
desire to eventually add to their
own political strength.
The general tendency of Gover
uient work is to make a man strain
at a misplaced comma while he un
consciously swallows an erroneous
statement of alleged facts.
Presides Roosevelt has appointed
Mr. C.irtelyou head of the Depart
ment of Commerce for one reason,
because the latter is in sympathy
with the President's desire to con
trol the trusts.
President Roosevelt's diplomacy
has obviated a clash between Sena
tor Piatt and < Jovernor < klell. And
yet some people say the President
is a novice in politics.
With George B. Cortelyou, aged
41, d, member of th«- Cabinet and
Robert B. Armstrong, aged 29,
Vssistant Secretary of the Treasury,
the administration is demonstrat
ing its belief in young men.
No one familiar with the crowd
ed condition of the national Cap
itol will condemn the appropriation
of funds for its completion and in
creased accommodation for mem
bers of the House.
It is an evidence of a small mind
to criticise the generous hospitality
of President and Mrs. Roosevelt
because it causes a slight increase
in White lloufce expenditures.

Current Comment.
The Monroe Doctrine is victorious;
the Venezuelan blockade is raised.
Vermont can now be called the spot
ted state; it will be wet here and there.
The coal dealers are now anxious to
unload their stock before the ice man
comes along.
The Montana Legislature has voted
down a measure providing for woman
sufferage in that state.
The opportunity of a life time came
along, and Bowen had the courage to
grasp it—Americans usually have.
The coal miners are thinking of rais
ing a §75,000 purse for John Mitchell.
John would probably appreciate it.
Rockafeller has withdrawn his offer
for a new stomach. He has been re.
ceiving too many calls from serious
bidders.
Tillman is afraid that he will not get
a fair trial. He had a fair trial with
his gun when he shot the well-known
editor.
The Mayor of Worcester, Mass., has
vetoed the bill increasing his salary
from $2,500 to SI,OOO. The people think
he is crazy.
Some kind of a compromise should
be reached pretty soon on the state
hood bill. Thus far we have only heard
the wind blowing.
According to a dispatch from Lon
don, the first annual report of the Im
perial Tobacco company shows a profit
of $1,000,000. Smoke up !
A reduction in the retail price of
anthracite to $6.50 a ton has gone into
effect in the yards of the coal dealers
throughout New York City.
The legislatures of Oregon and Dela
ware are still at work trying to agree
on U. S. Senators, without having been
able to weaken the deadlock.
London has a new religious paper
which ofiers a bottle of water from the
j Jordan river to every person who will
j see to it that six copies are sold.
Au amendment to the federal bank- ,
! ruptcy act has just become a law. It'
1 stops some of the leaks in the present '
| law, and for one thing denies persons
j the right of taking advantage of bank- i
j ruptcy oftener than once in six years.
: A Russian artillerist alleges that ex
i perimeuts in the Russian army have
proved the use of yellow spectacles by
gunners and riflemen enables them to
shoot more accurately by thirty per
cent, than when they use the naked
eye, especially in variable light
Hobson has resigned from the navy
j but he continues to lecture on the nec
essity of a larger navy. His work is
telling, too. The New Jersey Legisla
ture has just adopted a resolution call
ing for a large navy and other states
will soon follow her example.
A bill has been passed by both houses
providing for a new building for the
agricultural department, to cost not
more than $1,500,000. The present
buildings are wholly inadequate for
the work now conducted by this de
partment.
While the centre of population is not
fur from Columbus, Ind., the centre of
manufactures in this country is com
puted to be 25 miles southeast of Mans
j field, Ohio. It has moved west about
I 40 miles in ten years, or much more
| than the centre of population.
The slump in the coal market has
| come, and the prices are quite as likely
| togo down below the level of a fair
1 profit as they were to arise to extor
j tion. Householders will soon be liold
j ing up their heads and demanding
j coal at their own price. The great
i coal "hold-up" is at an end.
In his annual report President Eliot
! of Harvard University, created some
thing of a sensation by what he said of
I college men having so small families.
That set some people to looking up
President Eliot's record, with the re
sult that they find he Is—a bachelor!
The navy department has awarded
contracts for two new 14,500 ton armor
: ed cruisers, the Tennessee and the
Washington, to cost $4,WW,000 each.
One will be built by the Cramps at
Philadelphia and the other by the New
York Shipbuilding company, at ram
den, N. J.
A voluminous protest against the
seating of Hon. Reed Hmoot, the new
ly-elected senator from Utah, has been
received by thu senate. It protests on
the giound that he isa Mormon upuaiUtt
ami that as ttueh he is bound to con
sider his obligations to Moriuonism
paramount to everything else.
CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1903.
Pugilist Jeffries says that the chances
are that he will not fight again until he
and Pitzsimmons get back from their
European sparring exhibition tour.
They are to sail for Europe in June.
Now if some of the other pugs would
quit the country at the same time, we
might have a quiet summer.
It is authoritatively stated that
President Roosevelt is satisfied with
the anti trust legislation that will be
passed at this session under the Senate
program, and will not call an extra
session of Congress to consider further
legislation. That will give the country
a rest until the new Congress comes in
next December.

ped and disciplined in such a way as

A Most Fatal Gilt.
Would be the power ot forsceing
events. This would destroy hope. A
knowledge of the future would unmake
happiness. There are, ol course, some
things about the future we do know. If,
for instance, a lack of energy, ambition
and loss of appetite shows itself we know
it will be followed by serious complaints
if not checked. Often Liver and Kidney
trouble followed r|uickly. In any event
Electric Hitters will restore you to health.

Tragedy Averted.
••.Just in a nick of time our little boy
was saved" writes Mrs. W. Watkins of
Pleasant City, Ohio. "Pneumonia had
played sad havoc with him and a terrible
cough set in besides. Doctors treated
him, but he grew worse every day At

He Wanted
to Gain Flesh
A Boston millionaire was very
thin. Business cares and conse
quent nervous troubles told the
story. He became alarmed, it i« Raid,
and consulted a famous specialist.
" I want some flesh," he said.
" I am willing to pay for it. I'll
give you SSOO for every pound of
solid healthy flesh you can put on
these bones."
It was a big price, but he could
well afford to pay it. For undue
thinness is dangerous. It means
disease, or the approach of disease.
Cod liver oil has most always
been prescribed for this condition.
It has wonderful properties as a
medicine,but itsdisagreeable grease
and vile taste and smell make most
people sick.
We have long thought that
something could be devised with
cod liver oil as a basis that would
arrest emaciation, promote nutri
tion, stimulate digestion, aid in
throwing off rheumatism, lung
trouble, bronchitis, coughs, and
prove a real body-building tonic
reconstructor and flesh former.
We have found it in Vinol (if
you are interested call at the store
and we'll tell you hozv we found it)
and it certainly does the work. It
is pleasant to take. If you are
sick and thin, try Vinol. You can
get your money back if it doesn't
help you. _
