No paper will be discontinued until arrear- Kes aro paid, except <>t the option of the pub her - Papers sent out of the county must be paid lor in advance. Justice to the Historical NoveL Publishers, casting up their accounts, find that last year's business was largo and profitable. Many books were print ed and sold. It is asserted that there were few failures among all the works pro duced —failures, that is, from a financial standpoint. The publishers do not ven ture the assertion that, all the books were successful as literary productions. They content themselves with the declaration that the average of merit was respecta ble and we may accept the statement as just. It is probable, thinks the Chicago Chronicle, that the literary output never before presented such a dead level of re spectable mediocrity as characterizes it to-day. There are few absolutely worth less books; there are no great books. Looking back over the literary output of 1903 only two books recall themselves to memory as distinguished above the rest by reason of their subject matter or their style. Senator Hoar's "Remin iscences of Seventy Years" is one of the two; Morley's "Life of Gladstone" is the other. Neither is a "popular" book and neither is likely to achieve a circu lation equal to that enjoyed by many pieces of contemporary fiction. It is contemporary fiction, however, which brings the contemporary literary stand ard up to a fairly good average. It i 9 said that everybody is writing histori cal novels, and though the statement is, of course, an exaggeration, it is true enough to furnish an explanation for the relatively good quality of the grist of fiction. In the historical novel, that is to say, the writer finds the main inci dents of his story ready made for him. His background is, so to speak, sketched In and he has only to supply the details. His imagination is not heavily drawn upon and if he possesses a respectable knowledge of the mechanics of litera ture —if he knows how to put words to gether grammatically and with some ap pearance of skill —his novel is likely to be mildly entertaining. It can hardly be absolutely stupid, for the events of history are not stupid. Consequently, the historical novel, so far from being the legitimate object of persiflage, de serves our commendation. So long as novelists stick to history we shall no recurrence of the odoriferous aiud Imbecile trash which passed current as fiction a few years ago. The red necktie has loomed up intu prominence again. This time it is the New Orleans Times-Democrat that raises its voice in protest. The right to wear red clothes, declares that pa per, is not an inherent right so far as the male portion of the population is concerned, and no one has objected to the female portion arraying themselves in such colors as may be considered to suit their complexions. But no man has any vested right in a complexion, or if he has it should be taken away from him at once as a thing annoying if not dangerous to the public peace. The face that requires a red necktie to enhance its beauty should be at once suppressed and the owner should be re quired to get another face or remain in seclusion. The red necktie is (an tra bonos mores and is an affront ta all good citizens and, being such, should be relegated to the class of pro hibited articles. Opponents of the army should take notice of the savings statistics of tho enlisted men. In the fiscal year 1899 there were 37,842 separate deposits, representing a total of $1,406,7G2, on which $01,273 interest was paid. In 1900 these figures were, respectively, 91,401, $3,215,544 and $43,234; in 1901, 111,004, $3,438,529 and $114,750, and in 1902, 80,883, $2,600,250 and $145,411. Moreover in these four years no less than 239,130 men were paid their de posits on discharge, amounting in all to $7,974,514. On June 30, 1902, there was $4,269,244 in the treasury to Lhe credit of the enlisted men. During the discussion of the pure food bill in the house attention was called to the provision for the confisca tion of all impure or adulterated food. "What's to become of it alter it's con fiscated?" asked Champ Clark. "May be it is intended to do with it as was done in similar circumstances in Spain," said Representative Murdoch, of Kansas. "When Spain passed a pure food law it was decided that all impure, adulterated and poisonous foods con fiscated should be distributed among J±e charitable institutions." NO OPPOSITION TO HIM. President Roonevelt Will lie tlie Sole t'liolce o t the Kcpii hi lea u Part y. Loading republicans whom demo cratic organs have alleged to be op posed to the renomination of President Roosevelt have evidently concluded that it is time to expose the lie, and they are doing so, says the San Fran cisco Chronicle. Within the republi can party, at Washington as well as elsewhere, there is not only no "op position" to the president, nor even "lukewarmness," but there is actual enthusiasm for his renomination. It is freely stated not only that there is no "better man"in sight, but that there could not. well be any better man either as candidate or president. No other republican is seeking the nomination and nobody has ever pretended that any other could get it if he did seek it. All that the democrats have ever pretended to assert was that there was "dissatisfaction" with the president, which, while not strong enough to pre vent his nomination, might, as was in timated, induce a few disgruntled re publicans to vote the democratic ticket. There is nothing in this. There nev er was anything in it. There are ele ments which are opposed to the exe cution of salutory laws which are very strongly opposed to President Roose velt because he enforces law as he finds it. Some of these men doubtless call themselves republicans. As a matter of fact they are political Ishmaelites. who will vote for the man whom they think least likely to interfere with evil doers. Some of these will very likely vote for the democratic candidate in preference to President. Roosevelt. If the democratic press likes to brag about the accession of these malodor ous recruits it is welcome to do so and to the "strength" which they can add to the democratic cause. Honest re publicans ar.d honest, men are for pres ident Roosevelt, who executes the law whatever the consequences and who is not afraid of anybody. The man who would rather be right than be president is likely to be right and president both when the people know him as they know President Roosevelt. Aside from the personal character of our fearless president, influential re publicans recognize, as the people will recognize, that it' would be both fool ish and dangerous to change presidents at. this particular juncture. The United States is adjusting itself to the new in ternational relations into which it. en tered as the result of the events of 1898. In the Caribbean and in the far east there are policies half worked out with whose threads and bearings the president is familiar as no other man can be. Until five or six years ago we were living on our continent in com parative isolation, concerned only with on r domestic politics. Now our interests and responsibilities have suddenly ex panded until we find them impinging on those of other powerful nations in ways wholly unfamiliar to our experi ence and traditions. The masterly handling of these delicate questions by the president and preceding adminis trations has excited the admiration and secured the respect and esteem of the civilized world. The president is need ed to finish the work. DRIFT OF OPINION. Bryan is not booming any par ticular democrat for the presidential nomination. He seems to be a sort of trustee for all the candidates. —St. Louis Globe-Democrat. plutocrats against whom Mr. Bryan is now leveling his biggest ora torical guns are "the men who did not vote for me in 189G and 1900." What other defeated presidential candidate ever exhibited his sore head in this man ner and what other repudiated leader ever undertook to make loyalty to him self a test of party membership.—Chi cago Chronicle (Dem.). tr?"lf it were true that the democrats needed a missionary -to inspire their hearts and minds with higher ideals, to lure them from idolatry of"the money devil," would Mr. Bryan be the logical candidate for that mission? IfMr. Bryan, since the hour of his defeat in 1890, has not been a hustling hunter for dollars and cents, we know of no man who has thus been employed. And his success has been very considerable.— Washington Post (Ind.). had been supposed by many people that Mr. Bryan's travels might have broadened his mind and lessened to some extent his prejudices and per verted opinions on public affairs. Such anticipations were proved too sanguine by his recent address on his return to Nebraska. The older he grows the more stubborn the democratic presi dential candidate in 189G and 1900 be comes in hugging his delusions. —N. Y. Tribune. IE? - What we most of all require is a modicum of common sense, less ora tory and more git-up-and-git! If Mr. Bryan could realize that he is neither a conjurer, nor a conscience-keeper— that others besides himself have opin ions entitled to respect—that, other hearts than his beat for the lowly and the poor—ho might recover from the disease of Bryanitis—self-love, self con fi< fence, self-aggrandisement—which possesses him. —Louisville Courier- Journal (Dem.). zy\{ the signs of the times are to be depended upon, William J. Bryan and the principle for which he stands will be repudiated by the democratic nalional convention of this year. IClt seems clear that the democrats are not inclined to permit a man who has twice led them to defeat to dictate what they shall do this year. The re volt. against Bryanism is certain to spread between now and July, when the convention meets. If the Nebras kan has the power to check it he will prove that he is a greater man than people generally credit him with being. —Cleveland Leader. CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 1904. DUPE OF DEMOCRATS. Another Moiiifi-nt a t ion of tlie Trivi ality of tin- IturMtiiiK llryau Intellect. **l was putin noniins." on twice by my party," said W. .1. Bryan at Bur. lington, N. J., "only because it was known that there was no chance for my election." This is a most remarkable utterance, It is a public confession by Mr. Bryan that in both his presidential campaigns he was a dupe—that from the begin ning by his own party lie was betrayed and befooled, says the Chicago Intel Ocean. There is some reason to believe thai with refernce to his nomination in 190 C Mr. Bryan's opinion is partially correct There doubtless were democratic lead ers then who saw no way of ridding their party of the incubus of Bryanism save by letting Mr. Bryan run again and bo defeated. But. there is not one scintilla of evi dence that any such conspiracy as Mr. Bryan charges existed in 1890 —not even in the form of passive acquies cence in Mr, Bryan's aspirations, de structive as they were seen to be. None who saw the Chicago convention of 1896—saw the wrathful, prayerful, anil even tearful energy with which many democrats there strove to with stand the Bryanite frenzy—can enter tain such an idea for a moment. Nor was'this energy displayed by the conservative democrats alone. Scores of men in that convention were as rad ical for free silver as Mr. Bryan. Yet they regarded the stampede to Mr, Bryan as a treacherous desertion of Mr. Bland. All through the hours be tween Mr. Bryan's "Cross of Gold" speech and the actual nomination these men argued and pleaded, with tears in their eyes and until they could hardly stand or speak, with delegates not to desert, "Old Silver Dick"—the man who had worked all his life for silver and deserved the reward of that issue's triumph in his party. During his European tour Mr. Bry an is said to have been fully converted to the theory of Tolstoi, that any man who serves his fellow men under pres ent. conditions must be a martyr. This pessimistic theory may account for Mr. Bryan's description of himself as a dupe. However that may be, Mr. Bry an's mentality has long been known to be trivial. His presentation of himself as a martyr or dupe is probably, in the light of the facts of 1896, only another instance of his customary mental petti ness. WILL NOT TOUCH TARIFF. Reformer* Uino Poor ProN|ieot of Securing ICevixioii of the Gs* istiiiK Schedule. Tariff reformers in congress are dis concerted over tho legislative plans of the. leaders. The western members who favor a revision of the customs duties to meet changed conditions were encouraged by the general un derstanding which prevailed that aft er the presidential campaign some thing would be done to revise certain objectionable schedules. They are awakening to the fact that the grow ing demands upon the public treasury will, before this congress lias ad journed, reach such proportions as nearly to equal the surplus, if not actually cause a deficit, says a Wash ington special to the Chicago Record- Herald. While these republican members are not opposed to a service pension bill and the Panama canal project, thoy are beginning to realize the appropiations carried by the first measure, which will amount to $30,000,000 annually, and the enormous outlay involved in the completion of the isthmian water way, taken in addition to the regular appropriations, will bring the total ex penditures to unusual proportions. Next session, or the session following, a river and harbor and a public build ing bill will come in to. further swell the demands upon the public treas ury. No one knows better than they that it will be extremely difficult if not im possible to make much headway in congress with a tariff revision crusade, unless a surplus is p'ling up in the treasury. The republican leaders will not sanction a reduction of the rev enues as long as the expenditures threaten to create a deficit. Although they have not abandoned hope, these western republicans appreciate that conditions are against them, and are doing a great deal of talking among themselves to discover the remedy. Tillman announces that in his opinion it is practically useless to look for democratic electoral votes in Pennsylvania. Such profound sa gacity and close study of the situa tion as is evinced by this discovery may be taken as evidence that the democratic party is indeed recovering a measure of its sanity.—lndianapo lis Journal. ETBryan somewhat confidentially an nounces that he got. one new idea while abroad, and that he will make use of it indue time. Sincere friends will tell him that if he has one new idea from any source whatever the quicker he gets it in motion the better. The one idea he had is worn out. —Philadelphia Press K? lf Mr. Bryan has his way thedemo cratic convention at St. Louis will send across tlv> city ard get its platform ready-made from the collection of musty historical documents within the exposi tion grounds—Providence Journal. a The attempt of the democratic man agers to escape tho Hearst boom b-- lo cating the conventional St. Louis will not be altogether successful, as he has decided to start a paper there. There are two things in the way of the success of his paper boom; he can never be nominated, and if nominated would be overwhelmingly defeated. —Indianapolis Journal. BAD SINKING SPELL Senator Himna Was Near to Death's Door. Ox,vice|| ii ll <l Oilier I'oivorlul Sltmu- IHIIIN Were .%«■ in Isi I *•( <■ r«-«l to Him null After Hard Worlt by Doctor* tlie Pa tient It u I lien. Washington, Feb. 13. —Senator ITan na is passing through the climax of his illness and Friday afternoon it was feared he was living, but last night he rallied strongly ad there is again some hope that he may win the forlorn fight. Tlie odds ore much against bis recovery, but the sturdy physique of the man, aided by oxygen and powerful stimulants, brought him through when he was sinking rapidly and possibly may again. It is now a question how long the cli max of the fever will last and how many and severe will be any further acute attacks, for yesterday's spell was so severe that another probably would witness the end. The acute attack came in tlie form of a chill about 2 o'clock and not long afterwards Senator Hanna passed in to unconsciousness not to return again until around 6 o'clock. His pulse at this time run up to 130 and was so feeble it was not perciptible at the wrist. Three hours or so later, however, he had shaken off the attack to so great an extent that Dr. Osier, the Baltimore physician in at tendance, as he came from the sick room at 9:35 o'clock said that there had been a deeideil improvement and that the patient's pulse was much stronger and had fallen nearly 20 points. Senator Hanna as the night wore on continued at least to hold the ral ly he had shown and at 11 o'clock the doctors said that the indications are that the senator would have a com fortable night. They said that he at that hour was resting without any artificial aid, but, oxygen in slight and diminishing doses was being given him at intervals of 15 minutes. The physicians say the chill from which the senator suffered is quite unusual in typhoid cases and lias but few precedents. It does not follow, they say, that another is likely to oc cur and for this reason they are in clined to hope there may not be fur ther trouble from this source. WAR, FIRE AND COTTON. Were the Adverne factor* 111 tlie lliihi ncft* Situation This Week. New York, Feb. 13. —11. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Keview of Trade says: War, fire and cotton were the ad verse factors of the week, yet the country stood the shocks remarkably well and there are numerous encour aging symptoms. To a large degree the outbreak of hostilities in the Orient and the collapse of cotton nail been discounted, and the disastrous loss of the conflagration was offset Very largely by the stimulus it will give to many industries, notably structural steel. In restoring Baltimore there will be great activity in tne building trades, while large stocks of goods must be replaced and orders filled by jobbers and manufacturers else where. Buyers are arriving in this city in large numbers from all sec tions of the country and there is a good demand for all leading staple lines, with notable urgency for prompt shipment of cotton goods. The labor situation throughout the country is almost devoid of friction. Actual business is stilt restricted in the iron and steel industry, but there is more confidence in the future, and the extensive starting of plants bv the leading producer suggested that foreign markets will be entered more aggressively than ever before. Failures this week in the United States were 228, against 230 the cor responding week last year. Failures in Canada number 25, against 20 last y ear. MRS. LORENZ GOES FREE.

Senate Ajrccn to Vote on It Before February 'ill of Senate Said to lluvt' Keen ICucroaclicd I poll t>y VurloiiN I'residentK Action Takru on St. IjOiilm World'* Fair I.onn. Washington, Feb. 12. —The senate will vote on the Panama canal treaty on some day between February 15 ond 23. An agreement was reached in executive session yesterday to tak<! action on Monday next, to decide up-> on a time for voting on the treaty <ind it was determined that such date (should be on or before February 23. The senate was in executive ses sion more than four hours and after the agreement to vote on the treaty had been reached nearly the entire time was devoted to discussion of the encroachments of the senate and the president on each other's preroga tives under tiie constitution. Sena tor Teller in a speech .asting more than two hours and filled with inci dents where he alleged the president had encroached oil the senate in re gard to the making of federal ap pointments, aroused a number of the republican leaders to the defense of President Roosevelt. Some of the re publicans agreed with Senator Teller t hat there have been many encroach ments from the White Jlousc on the rights of the senate. The political phases of the debate were finally eliminated with the re sult that several administrations were discussed and brought under the ban of disapproval. The first was the Cleveland administration in which it was said that the president used undue influence for the repeal of the purchasing clause of the Sher man act. President McKJnley's Influence on republican members of the senate for the ratification of the Paris treaty and President Roosevelt's pressure in bringing about the ratification of the Cuban treaty and also the influ ence he has brought to bear looking to the ratification of the Panama canal treaty were cited as instances in which the senate has not been left free to deal with these topics ac cording to individual judgmet. The criticism was not alone of the executive, several senators, including Spooner, Allison, Teller, Dubois, Gal linger and Piatt, of Connecticut, agreeing that the senate often had insisted on the appointment of cer tain men for executive positions against the wish of the presidents mentioned. House—The house by a vote of 172 to 103 concurred in the senate amend ment to the urgent deficiency appro priation bill authorizing a loan of $4,- 600,000 by the government to the Louisiana Purchase exposition, after amending it with respect to the man ner in which the money shall be paid. The house also concurred in the sen ate amendment to the urgent de ficiency bill authorizing tests of coals and lignites at the St. Louis f;iir and non-concurred in all the other amend ments proposed by the senate. A number of bills were passed. SECRETARY HAY'S NOTE. To tlie I'owcrM In Kc<;ard to 1.1 inltln;; tlie Scene ol' tloKtllltle* I* Not Well Received at St. Peternbiirs. St. Petersburg, Feb. 12. —Secretary Hay's note to the powers has attract ed much attention in diplomatic cir cles here. Any movement having for its purpose the limiting of the scene of hostilities is received with sym pathy, but in certain quarters the practicability of the action suggested is questioned. A prominent diplo mat expressed surprise that the preservation of Korea was not in cluded in the note. The wishes of the United States have been communicated to the Rus sian government, and presumably al so to Japan. At the foreign office if is learned that no response to the note has been made, and it is con sidered extremely doubtful whether Russia feels herself in a position to make any declaration now, us these might hamper her military opera tions. The question is said to be one for the military authorities to decide and the representations of the United Slat en probably will be referred to Viceroy A lex ie if. Newspapers here do not fully un derstand the purport of the note and regard it as an attempt at mediation, the bare suggestion of which, while the country is smarting under the stint* of defeat, creates irritation. The Vedomosti points out that the United States should have initiated a joint action a fortnight ago to re strain Japan and that it is now too late. Furthermore. Russia, after her experience ait Berlin, has had enough of international congresses. An lee Gorge 43 JMIIe* Lons, ■\Vilkesbarre, I'a.. Feb. 12. The? flood situation in the Susquehanna river here has changed but little for the better. The water has been re ceding at the rate of three inches an hour and at s o'clock last night it was 23 feet above low water mark. The disturbing feature is the fact that a great gorge extends from this city to Nanticoke, a distance of nine miles, and from Shiekshinny, seven miles below Nanticoke, to ICipps Run, near Sunbury, 43 miles.
