At least so greatly sloes he prize the name of being consistent, that he actually has the audacity to bestow this name up on himself in common with his party, claiming that "our change of base (on the money question ) involves no change of principle." This assertion is perhaps literally true, at least as far as the editor himself is concerned. In view of his record it will be difficult for him to convince any one that he has now, or ever did have, any honest and stable convictions of his own upon the money question. A few weeks before the Democratic Convention met in Chicago in 1890, the Pennsylvania State Democratic Convention inserted a gold plank in their state platform. The present editor of the Indepen dent was a member of that con tention and voted for the gold plank. The Chicago convention, however, nominated Bryan on a Iree silver platform, and a few flays later the Pennsylvania Demo crats again assembled in conven tion, threw out their gold plank and inserted one for free silver. The present editor of the Indepen dent took part in these proceed ings, and until recently has been a professed advocate of free silver. Now, we find him aligned with Judge Parker, who regards the gold standard as fixed, not merely for the present but for all time. "Our change of base involves no change of principle." We should say not. i'he editor of the Inde pendent win change his monetary principles when a mooly cow can change her horns. He will have to get some real honest convictions first before he can talk about changing them. Does any one imagine that if Mr. Bryan should regain control ofthe Democratic party in 1908, the editor of the Independent will .aot then make the discovery that the gold standard is not "irrevoc ably fixed?" Or does any one think that he will not then be as vociferous in his support of Bryan as he is now in his support of Judge Parker? The truth of the matter is that the editor of the In dependent is not encumbered with any real honest principles on this question, and consequently is in «eat trim to make any change of sase that the exigencies of the political situation calls for. Ilis "change of base involves no change of principle." Oh, no! There be Democrats who have honest convictions and who are »ot disloyal to them, no matter what turns may take place in poli tics. Grover Cleveland has been an honest supporter of the gold standard, through evil and through good report. He had the courage to refuse to support Bryan in 1 NlM> and in 11)00. Even Hill and Parker, though they voted the Democratic ticket in those years for the sake of maintaining their party regularity, at least did not stultify themselves by proclaiming themselves believers in free silver. They were still Democrats during the domination of Bryan, very still. Their stillness was eloquent in indicating their monetary views. | They actually had views, real views. And Mr. Bryan, wrong headed as we believe him to be in his views on the money question, nevertheless appears to be abso l lutely sincere in his convictions and loyal to them. One always knows where to find him. He does not change his base, or his principles, every time a political convention is held. One does not hear him shouting for the gold standard now, any more than one ever heard Cleveland shouting for free silver in 1800 or in 11)00. One always knows too where to find the editor of the Independent One can always find him standing on the latest Democratic platform, no matter what kind of planks are in it. If the platform declares for the free and unlimited coinage of silver at the rate of sixteen to one, you will find him shouting for that doctrine as though he believed in it as intensely and honestly as Bryan himself does. Now that the Democratic convention has accept ed Judge Parker's declaration that the gold standard is irrevocably fixed, this same supple editor is found standing sure as fate on this latest declaration, assuring us that his "change of base involves no ! change of principle." We know it. And he poses as a moulder of thought in Cameron County. WASHINGTON LETTER. (From our Regular Correspondent.) Washington, July L'.'Jrd. 1904. Editor Presa:— The return to town next week of the President to keep bachelor's hall for three weeks in the reno vated White House, will give ad dional life to the city, fill up the hotels, and set the political cauld ron to bubbling. Everything is coming his way. Advices from the different states were factional differences existed in regard to state matters, show that there is no falling out over the Presidential candidate. The letter of Mr. Oscar S. Straus announcing that he ! had abandoned the Democratic j party, and "will make it a privi lege no less than a duty to dedicate my best services to your election," came as a pleasant surprise in the mail received at Sagamore Hall, There is reason to believe that many other surprises of a similar nature will be forthcoming. Gentlemen connected with the Executive departments are often surprised at the dispatches sent from Washington and the criti cisms which they receive in the press. Quite a breeze has been created in some very respectable newspapers over the announcement that the Government will not al low the wreck of the Maine, in the harbor of Havana, to be raised and removed, even after the contractor has paid the Cuban government for the privilege. Letters have been received at the Navy depart ment asking if this can be true. Why the public should take such an intertest in a mass of twisted and rusted iron is hard to under stand. There are those who con tent that the Maine has been abandoned by the United States and that it now belongs to Cuba and therefore the President has no right to interfere in the matter of its removal. Your correspondent called yesterday upon Judge Ad vocate Darling, of the Xavy, to get the Government's opinion of the matter, the question having been refered to him for an opinion. He very frankly said that in reply to an inquiry from the contractor he gave it as his opinion that "the wreck still belongs to the Govern ment and before it can be disposed of it will be necessary for Congress to take action." This opinion is not a command,and the contractor can goon with his work if he thinks best. It will probably be a long time before Congress will con sent to have the wreck raised. Last Thursday, the 21st inst., was the forty third anniversary of the Battle of Bull Run—"One of the best planned and worst fought battles of the war." Those who were living at that time vividly remember the panic which prevail ed in Washington as the retreat ing soldiers and such Congress CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, JULY 28, 1904. men as were not captured came struggling back into the city, ex hausted, wouuded and frightened. The battle is to be fought over again in September on the plains of Manassas, Va., under the com mand of General Corbin. It is announced that Ga., will be repre sented by a full brigade, and Con necticut is making preparations to send all of its militia. Probably not less than thirty thousand men under arms will take part in the manoeuvers. Thus far the political campaign is very silent, but the real opening gun will be fired next Wednesday, at ()yster Bay, by the President, Mr. ('ortelyou says he does not wish to discuss the political situa tion until after the formal notili- ; cation. Senator Scott of W. Va., 1 takes that state out of the doubt ful column. A Serious Matter. "The third dose of Thompsons ! Barosuiii made me feci like a different man.
