It is reported that the leaders will recommend that the convention do not mention the law and that the Republican party as a whole and not individuals be de nounced and arrainged and con demned. It is a sort of shame to deprive these worthy citizens of an issue with which they had expected to make a great deal of noise, and some of them are already shouting that Quayism is becoming apparent in the management of the party. Is it any wonder that the Demo cratic party is depicted as a donkey, when its spokesmen make such as sertions? If such assertions be true where is the Democratic party in this State? And the curious part of it is that they come from Democrats who have arrayed them selves against their party and are fighting it tooth and nail. If the Democrats who have de serted their party after reviling it want the libel law to he an issue even though the State Convention make no mention of it, let them adopt it as their own. Conven tions make platforms, but the battle must be fought by news papers and orators. They could then, probably, [find a few others who have no regard for party regu larity. And yet it is possible that the Democratic party, unin fluenced by Senator Quay, will not mention the lible bill simply be cause it is not an issue. There is no election for Legislature this year. No official who can con trol or direct legislation will be chosen. —Harrisburg Telegraph. Ten Thousand Churches In the United States have used the Longman & Martinez Ptire Paints.

WASHINGTON LETTER. (From our Regular Correspondent.) Washington, August 'J4, 1903. Editor Press:— As part of the general scheme to bring discredit upon President Roosevelt's administration, two New York papers have, within the past week, given great prominence to articles sadly at variance with the facts but likely to be very gen erally circulated and believed. The first of these appears in an ostensibly republican paper, but one dominated by Wall Street in terests and pledged to defeat the nomination of Mr. Roosevelt at the next convention if that be pos sible. These stories which bear every semblance of truth, are to the effect that the President has inaugurated a systematic investi gation of the relations between union labor and the employes of all the executive departments of the Government with a view to discrediting organized labor. These stories are, however, en tirely without foundation as the President has not, nor does he in tend to order such an investiga tion. The meager facts on which the allegation is based have been related in the letters before. After the William Miller case in the Government Printing Office was brought to the special attention of the President, he wrote to Secre tary Cortelyoua letter pointing out that there was no legal warrant for discrimination between union and non-union labor in the executive departments and cited the decision of the Anthracite Coal Strike Com mission as a principal to be adopted. A copy of this letter Mr. Roosevelt caused to be sent to the head of each department for his personal guidance, should a similar question arise. In the course of the discus sion of the Miller incident,represen tations were made to the President that the cost of printing and bind ing in the Government Office was excessive and it was alleged that this was due to the rules of the unions limiting the daily output of each of their members. Mr. Roosevelt then instructed that an investigation of the methods of the office be instituted and that in vestigation has been quietly and thoroughly conducted by a com mittee especially appointed for the purpose. The committee in the course of its inquiry, asked of various members of the Cabinet, their experience with union labor, the request for information being purely incidental to the investi gation they were conducting, and on this flimsy protest is based the allegation. The whole animus in the series of Washington dispatches printed by the paper referred to was shown recently when side by side with the last of them was printed a dispatch from Chicago saying that the stationary engin eer's union had pledged themselves to defeat Mr. Roosevelt, in the convention if possible, but if not at the polls. The hope of the pub lication printing these dispatches is that the republican politicaus may be lead to believe that the the President has incurred the enmity of the labor organizations and that his nomination would mean defeat for the party. No authentic news has been re ceived from Bogota regarding the Panama canal treaty since the re port that it had been rejected, as drafted by the Colombian Senate. The Administration is still hopeful, however, that the Senate will re consider its action as it has been known to do under similar circum stances on several previous occa sions. Taken With Cramps. Win. Kirmse, a member ofthe bridge gang working near Littleport was taken suddenly ill Thursday night with cramps and a kind of cholera. Ilis case was so severe that he had to have the members of the crew wait upon him and Mr. Gif f'ord was called and consulted. He told them he had a medicine in the form of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarr hoca Remedy that he thought would help him out and accordingly several doses were administered with the result that the fellow was able to be around next day. The incident speaks quite highly of Mr. Giff'ord's medicines.—Elkader, lowa, Argus. This remedy never fails. Keep it in your home, it may save life. For sale by | L- Taggart. CAMKRON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, AUGUST 27, 1903. On Wasting The AloraJ Capital of the Community. In the Outlook last week there is an editorial entitled "An Old Lesson," from which we quote a paragraph. It states in a singularly strong and clear way a truth that can always be listen ed to with profit. It will receive little or no heed from silly tale-bearers or from malicious defamers; wo have gone shopping for button holes too often to expect that. But thoughtful and well meaning people are often betrayed in to accepting and repeating rumors af fecting the characters of others, when they really know nothing as to the truth of these rumors. By this class the paragraph will be received as a welcome admonition. It is as follows: "No story of any kind against a man or woman which is being hawked about through small communities or in larger circles in larger communi ties, ought ever to be passed on except with a full sense of responsibility. That is to say, every man who repeats a story affecting another person's char acter ought to understand that by that repetition he has made himself responsible for the charge. Instead of pulling people down morally and breaking their influence, it is every man's duty to build them up and to conserve their influence. There is no more heinous offense against a com munity than the wasting of its moral capital; and this is precisely what hap pens when the reputation of a good wan or moman is assailed. To attack such a reputation, to smirch it, or be little it, is not only a grave offense against the person, but is a waste of the moral capital of the community in which that person lives." The Standard of Pronunciation In English. "The truth is that the pronunciation of every dictionary," says Prof. Thomas R. Lounsbury in Harper's Magazine for September, "expresses the preferences and prejudices of the particular person or persons who have been concerned iu its compilation. At best it represents the taste of a select coterie to whose members the accidents of birth and training and circumstance have made familiar certain ways of pronouncing words. There is, consequently, never any need of paying unqectioning obedience to any of its de cisions. It is an authority of more or less value; it is never a final authority. On this matter having been concerned to some extent iu the preparation of dic tionaries, I speak from the point of view of personal experience. I have protested to no purpose against the authorization of certain pronunciations. I have suc ceeded in getting some sanctioned which had not previously been recoguized as allowable. It is hardly necessary to add that the knowledge of these I shall take precious good care to keep to myself. But where did I get any authority, either in the way of protest or advocacy, over thousands and thousands of other English speakers, to decide how any par ticular word should be pronounced. From no quarter could it come, for in none did it exist. The simple explana tion of the matter is that it was my for fortue to be in a position where my per sonal preferences met with a certain de gree of consideration. "In this matter the proper attitude for every educated man to take is that once ex emplified by I)r. Bacon, for a long while the pastor of Center Church, New Haven. He was assailed for his pro nunciation of a certain word. It was not according to Webster, be was told. The clergyman was personally acquainted with the man held up to him as a guide, and very evidently had an opinion of his own as to the respect due to him as an authority. At all events, the Doctor showed no disposition to submit to the correction. 'What right has Webster,' growled he. 'to dictate uiy pronunciation? He is one of my parishioners, and he ought to get his pronunciation from me, and not I from him ." ' A Tree With a Bark. "A piece of bark four inches thick," says the Wellsboro Advocate, "was taken from a tree on Asaph Run recently which measured twenty-eight inches in diamater at the butt." Mrs. Mollie Allen, cf South Fork, Ky„ says she has prevented attacks of cholera morbus by taking Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets when she felt an attack coming on. Such attacks are usually caused by indigestion and these Tablets are just what is needed to cleanse the stomach and ward off the approach ing attack. Attacks of bilious colic may be prevented in the same way. For sale by L. Taggart. Trouble should be taken in hom oepathic doses.

[ The Oliver Cromwell Entertainment. One of the finest entertainments ever given in Emporium will undoubtedly be the "Story of the Knglish Reformation or Puritan vs. Cavalier.' showing the great work accomplished in England un der Oliver Cromwell. A capable com mittee of the Presbyterian Church, under the auspices of which this entertainment is to be given, has been hard at work getting this gigantic undertaking in proper shape. The best talent in the town has been secured. Music is one of the lead ing features of the entertainment and will consist of choice solos, grand choruses and instrumental numbers. The dialogues and the gorgeous costumes are historically correct, making the entertainment educa tionally valuable. Mrs. 11. E. Monroe, the originator and lecturer of the production, is a highly cultivated woman, and has traveled much abroad, making research for her enter tainments. She has visited the largest libraries and art galleries in the world and made them contribute to her work. Her I lecture on the " Oliver Cromwell" has been pronounced by competent critics a literary gem. It was prepared in the British Museum in London, where Mrs. Monroe had access to many of the original documents. Her stereopticon views illustrating, are the finest which can be procured along this line of work, many of them being the only copies of great paintings found iu palaces in England. History, poetry and painting contribute to the interest of this great historical production, and the pomp and strength of marching bands of sym bolically dressed men and women, give life and character to the unfolding of the story. Miss S. Ethel Brown, one of Mrs. Monroe's assistants, will have charge of the preparing of the entertainment. She is expected to arrive on Tuesday, Sept. Ist, and will hold the first rehearsal that evening. The entertainment will be given in the opera house, on Monday and Tuesday evenings, Sept. 14 and 15. Violent Attack ol Diarrhoea Cured by- Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Di arrhoea Bemedy and Perhaps a Life Saved.
