Democrats and Issues.
There are some Democrats who
are sorely disappointed because the
new libel hw, it is said, will not
be an issue in the next State cam
paign. 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.
Every Church will be given a liberal
quantity whenever they paint.
Don't pay $1.50 a gallon for Linseed
oil (worth 60 cents) which you do when
you buy thin paint in a can with a paint
label on it.
8 & 0 make 14, therefore when you
want fourteen gallons of paint, buy
only eight gallons of L. & M., and mix
six gallons of pure linseed oil with it.
You need only four gallons of L. &
M. Paint, and three gallons of Oil
mixed therewith to paint a good sized
house.
Houses painted with these paints
never grow shabby, even after 18 years.
These celebrated paints are sold by

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.

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.
When you want a physic that is mild
and gentle, easy to take and certain to
act, always use Chamberlain's Stomach
and Liver Tablets. For sale by Jno E.
Smith, Sterling Run.
DeWitt is the Name.
When you goto buy Witch Hazel
Salve look for the name DeWitt on every
box. The unadulerated Witch Hazel
is used in making DeWitt's Witch Hazel
Salve, which is the best salve in the j
world for cuts, burns, bruises, boils, ec- i
zema and piles. The popularity of De-
Witt's Witch Hazel Salve; due to its
many cures, has caused many worthless
counterfeits to be placed on the market.

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.
" \ short time ago I was taken with a
violent attack of diaiihoea and believe I
would have died if I had not gotten re
lief," says John J. Patton a leading citi
zen of Patton, Ala. "A friend recom
mended Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy. I bought a
twenty-live cent bottle and after taking
three doses of it was entirely cured. I
consider it the best remedy in the world
foi bowel complaints. For sale by L.
Taggart.
At any rate the unsuccessful man
doesn't have to respond to encoers.
Cholera Infantum.
This disease has lost its terrors since
Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarr
hoea Remedy came into general use.
The uniform success which attends the
use of this remedy, in all cases of bowel
complaints in children has made it a
favorite wherever its value has become
known. For sale by Jno. E. Smith,

Puts an End to it All.
A grievous wail oftimes comes as a

complaint and Constipation. But thanks
to Dr. King's New Life Pills they put
an end to it all. They are gentle but
thorough. Try them. Only 25c.

It requires 8,000 pounds of roses or 5,-
000,000 flowers for a pound of essential
oil of rose.
The Death Penalty.
A little thing sometimes results in
deai,h. Thus a mere scratch, insignifi
cant cuts or puny boils have paid the
death penalty. It is wise to have Buck
len's Arnica Salve ever handy. It's the
best Salve on earth and will prevent
fatality, when Burns, Sores, IHcers and
Piles threaten. Only 25c, at L. Tag
gart's Drug Store.
