FHE CAMERON COUNTY - fCsi".\i; .isiiici) BY C. 15. GOULD, MARCH 1566. VOL. 39. WASHINGTON LETTER. {From our Regular Corrcspondeni.) Washington, Aug. 'JOt-h, 1904. Editor P' i s*.— When the Filipino Coiniiii.-sion- j ers visited the President a. few weeks ;igo lie asked some of them how soon they thought their people would lie ready to have a General Assembly called for the purpose of I considering local legislation. Some) of the Commissioners replied that 1 the time had already come. Since j then the , have sent a petition to the President, by the. hands of Sec retary Taft. urging him to take the matter into serious and early con sideration. One reason for their so doing is the fact that the I . S. Philippine Commissioners have promulgated a series of internal revenue laws, which, with the cus toms duties, the Filipinos think will be of deep interest to the in habitants of the island. Since they must provide the revenue they ask for the privilege of having some thing to say about the objects for j which the money shall be appro- ; printed. In any event they think their law should be considered and ' ratified by the representatives of j the people. Your correspondent i called to-day at the revenue divis ion of the Treasury and was in formed that thus far the Govern ment has no internal revenue officer in the Philippines, but there is one in Hawaii. It was also thought at the Treasury that only < 'ongress can pass laws for purposes of tax ation. since that is the way provid ed by the Constitution. 1 nder thesceireiii:istance> it is nude. -tood that President Ho .-eveil w ill soon ' do all he prudently can to amelio- i rati con mei. ;al condition - in our Fasten, p>• -ions.

Secre- ' tarv Meteal' is already on his way to California, to (.'lose up his private business, which he says he left at a two days notice. Morton is tour ing along the Atlantic coast and has Att'y Moody with him. Sec retary Hay, having Warned for eign powers what they can and what they must not do, will soon j return to New Hampshire. He is i receiving numerous telegrams of congratulation over the news of the birth of a grandson—John Hay Whitney, the mother of whom was pleasantly known herein Washing ton as Helen Hay. Secretary Shaw will also goto the Pacific coast, making speeches in the states west of the Hoeky mountains, and one or two in Utah. All the news which drifts into Washington from drifting politi cians, and otherwise, regarding the prospects and progress of the cam paign, is full of cheer and hope for the Ilepubicans. it is considered very unwise, politically, to force an issue of the negro suffrage question in West Virginia; the Georgia lynching will lose tens of thousands of Democratic votes in the North and West to the party; and the tricks r< orted to in Maryland will probably land that state in the Republican column. Fish Com missioner Bowers, of West Virginia predicts a Republican plurality of 17.'"id in that state. It is denied by Congressmen visiting in this city that there is any likelihood of Wisconsin. Indiana or Illinois go ing Democratic. I met Gen. Black on the street a few days ago, in a great rush to catch the cars for Boston where he made a speech that is attracting much attention.

Four year* ago and eight years ago the Independent was hand in glove with the Populists supporting liryan. ' Now it lias abandoned Bryanism and is supporting Parker. Isut the Populists have the merit of consistency and are not .- import ing Parker. This i what their candidate, Mr. Watson, says of the 1 )emocraey: "Roiled down to its real essence, sifted to its real meaning, the Dem ocratic campaign of 19<>4 is a mere unscrupulous hanger for office. They ha ve no fixed or certain creed. They have no article of faith by which Democratic loyalty can be tested. "You may ask why do I consume more time discussing the Demo crats than in speaking of the Re publicans. My reply is: Itiseasier and quicker to strike an open enemy right between the eyes than it is to tear oIT the mask from the face of a. pretended friend and show him to be the hypocrite that he is." Brought (loot! Times. An Irishman in New York was asked the other day whom he is going to vote for this fall. "Why, Billy Bryan, of course," was the reply. "But Bryan is not running this i year.

A young gentleman was heard to : make a sneering remark in regard tc, a j young man's being a "mother's boy," j being "tied to mother's apron siting,'' ; , etc. He, in the density of his ignor- j ! nice, did not. know that ho was paying 1 j i<> this young man the greatest compli- j j ineuts which he could bestow. As has 1 I often been said, no love can compare I ito a mother's love. Who, when the j ; world, h:isty in its judgments, has con- , j demned a young man, comes to hit aid . I with tiie whole strength ot her being, ! ! and if necessary with the last drop of i j her blood? You hesitate not to answer: i j "His mother." In what way can a j young man repay the one to whom he ; ; owes his existence, and who has exerts d . I an uplifting influence on his whole life? t in no way can he hope to repay her, j j but the least he might do is is to try at ' I all times to do nothing that will cause 1 ; her pain. And then to the young girl j ( who hesitates to decide whether she wishes to link her life with that of a i young man. How does he treat his ; 1 mother? Don't ask the mother. J1 , she sees his faults she will not tell of them. Encourage the young man to j speak of his mother, and expect when ! you are his wife to be spoken of in the | same way. Young man, when you i feel inclined to scoff at your compan : ion's devotion to his mother, don't do ! it. It only exposes tho coarseness of | your make-up and your lack ot' intelli -1 gence.—Port Allegany Reporter. World's Fair Excursions.

EMPORIUM, PA., THURSDAY, AUGUST 25, 1904. Mr. Howard's Speech of Acceptance. It is several months since ?.Ir. Josiah Howard was nominated for the Assem bly on the Republican ticket. His stirring and thoughtful address accept ing the nomination was printed in full in the PRESS last April. Now that the active campaign is opening we wish to j call attention again to this excellent addresi. We congratulate the party and the county on the presence in the field of a candidate w ho has such a high and broad conception of our common j American life and of the relation of i political service to tKat life. Mr. j Howard is universally esteemed for his j high and pure character and is recog- ; nized as a man of rare business sagacity ! and sound judgment. l»ut we wish to j emphasize particularly tho fact that lie : is a man capable of understanding life | under its higher and broader aspects, ! and who always views the simplest \ duties in relation to the largest ends 1 and interests. It is a distinctive merit of this ad dress that it reveals Mr. Howard's largo comprehension of the nature and meaning of our American life. He views it as a whole, and in its essential ; parts as related to the whole. The I home, the Church, the school, the place of work and the place of recreation and amusement, are viewed by him as ' they stand in relation to one ereat ! common life. These fundamental in- i stitutions are to the life of the com muuity and state, viewed as a whole, i whet tho various organs of the ; body an to the body as a whole. ] Mr. Howard's view of life is essentially i an organic view. It is at least worth j remembering that the capacity for or ! gariic thought is an indispensable ele. ; mer.t in statesmanship. Mr Howard's conception of tho way in which tho ends of our common I An ri'. an 'i!'e aito bo realized is i ;am p.• ti >.

Tl; 'conception of liberty v. h' rh the l)--mocraticp .rty has always .■: . • inht i js that of mere absence of r itraint. The conception of inde pendence. which the Democratic party has always cherished is that of mere escape from external tvranny. Uut something more positive than this is needed if there is to be progress, it is the Republican party which pre-emi nently stands for that positive tendency and emphasis which has founded and sustained schools, has fostered trade, has protected and developed industry and has given to our government a place ot positive power and influence in tho world. If we are to judge men and parties by the underlying princi ples which they represent, there is no more thorough going representative of Republicanism to be found anywhere than Mr. Josiah JHoward. The genius of Republicanism and true Americanism finds expression in his speech of acceptance. I Reduced Rates to (irangers' Picnic at Williams' (irove, via Pennsyl vania Railroad.

Not so Profitable. Tho raising ol genseng is r.ct so 1 profitable as many people have been | ' dto believe.

China imported from this country on ly 173,000 pounds of genseng in four years. -A quantity that could easily be j raised on a farm of 75 acres. "Let ! genseng alone.
