•'Our Change of Base."
Consistency is a desirable virtue
in the eyes of the editor of the In
dependent. 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.

without obtaining any permanent relief, j
Last summer one of my children was j
taken with cholera morbus, and I procur-1

doses were required to give her entire re- !
lief. I then decided to try the medi- I

bottle before I was well and I have never j
since been troubled with that complaint, j
One cannot say too much in favor of
that wonderful medicine." This remedy |
