The swilt set in New York has a new fad. It is so far-reaching in its ca pacity for burning up money that it promises to become popular with the class whose hours are all idle hours, and whose heaviest labor is the clip ping of coupons, says the Cincinnati Post. If jou are not the possessor of a Pomeranian dog, you might as well bid farewell to any idea of butting into the Four Hundred. A pup about the size of a rat, that can readily be car ried in a shopping bag, has become the hall-mark of aristocracy in New York. The smaller the clog the more impor tant the owner. Pomeranians have been sold for as high as SIO,OOO. Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish paid SIOO an ounce for' Iters, and the total cost of the animal •was about $5,000. That society dar ling, Harry Lehr, has equipped his span iel wit h a pair of emerald earrings and a ruby bracelet clasps one of the aris tocratic hind legs of the brute. It was necessary for Mr. Lehr to do something pretty strenuous, else society might re member that a few years ago he was a peddler of wine and worked for a liv ing. It is only a fad. It. is simply a means by which a certain element in the so-called smart set can secure ad vertising and notoriety. And notoriety to those people is as the breath of life. It is more to them than the applause that greets the successful actor. They court publicity. They want to get into the newspapers, and so feverish is that desire that they do things that dis gust saner folks, and they find a thrill In shocking the public. It is foolish, of course, but what are they to do? They have money; they do not have to work, and so they will not work. Or dinary methods of securing pleasure have lost their savor, and so we have the great American vaudeville, in which men and women caper and cut up, throw vast sums to the birds, and are really to simple-minded as to call it pleasure. If you like that sort of thing, you can get a place on the stage if you are the owner of a high-priced Pomeranian. Advertising Pays. The man who would be successful must let the world know that he wants to succeed. In this day and time the gum shoe seldom treads the path to victory of kind or another. Who is not familiar with the mustached face and unusually high forehead of the man ■who is to be the next governor of Mass achusetts? All of us have seen it in print practically every day for a long time, and the west knew it as well as the east, says the Indianapolis News. When the democrats of Massachusetts nom inated William L. Douglas as their candidate for governor, there was no need to explain who he was. No one asked, because every one knew. And when Mr. Douglas entered his new sphere of activity he did not fall into the ways of those who were already there. He had methods of his own which he had tried and found effective. Printers' ink and paste were among his most able lieutenants, and the peoplo of Massachusetts knew from the ad vertising columns of the public prints, which were freely used, and from the bill boards all over the state that the man who had been successful in one way was determined to be successful in another. Mere political schemes were not de pended on; statements, interviews and the like, which so often fall short of the multitude, were supplanted by the means which never fail to reach. It is a year of big crops, including that of republican votes, says the Troy Times. The returns from Europe show that the grain yield in most countries of the continent has been exceptional. This is conspicuously true of Russia, in some parts of which the grain is so abundant that the peasant farmers have difficulty in finding storage room for it. It is a notable coincidence that Japan, which relies chiefly on rice for food, also has a big showing for its staple, the output being 20 per cent, above the average. This abundance means that both countries will have suf ficient fo< d, even if the war and its waste continues for many months long er. Yet it also accentuates the fact that such strife is costly. But for the war there might be a profitable sale of the surplus. THE COMING OPPOSITION. Probable Coalition and Creed of the Democracy for the Next Campaign. What sort or a reorganization ar.d realignment will take place in the democratic party iu the next four years? What kind of a coalition and a creed will the republican party have to light iu 1908? These are queries of some interest to democrats, populists, socialists, republicans aud all other political elements. It is generally as sumed that the radicals of the democ racy will be in the ascendant in thai party by the time the campaign of 1908 opens, and that these are to be the force which the republican party will be called upon to combat. Mr. Debs, on the other hand, says that the democratic party will disintegrate, as a result of its crushing defeat last week, and that the socialist party will take its place. As Debs was the presidential candidate of the social democratic party in the two latest national elections, and as he polled a considerable vote, his words on this point will have some weight. Debs had 88.000 votes in 1900. lie got at least 600,000 in 1904, and the total, when all tiie returns are in, may go above that figure. But the rest of the radicals are not in agreement with Mr. Debs. Thomas E. Watson, who probably received in the neighborhood of 500,000 votes as the standard bearer of the populist party in the canvass just closed, says, too, that the democratic party must now goto pieces, and that a reorganiza tion will take place on lines similar to those on which the populists made their recent fight. He derides the idea that his old friend Bryan will be able to galvanize any new life into the dem ocratic party. The populist creed in cludes these tenets, among others: The national ownership of the railways, the telegraphs and the telephones; an in come tax; postal savings banks; the initiative and referendum; govern mental control of all money issues, de priving the national banks of the privi lege of emitting currency; local option on the liquor question throughout the country; the election of the president, United States senators and federal judges by direct vote of the people; re duction in the army and navy, and, of course, the free coinage of silver at the 1G to 1 ratio. This is the programme which the populists want to set up for the coalition which it to fight the re publican party in 1908, although neither the populists nor the socialists care much about free silver, preferring greenbacks to coin,of any sort. Messrs. Bryan, Hearst and the other radicals who are in good standing in the democratic party are the men who will shape the creed of the republicans' opponent four years hence and put up the candidates. Most of the things that the populists put forward could be ac cepted by the Bryanite section of the democratic party. Bryan himself has come out in favor of ownership of the railways by the individual states, which would be a more drastic and demoraliz ing move than the ownership of the national government, for 45 masters for the railways would introduce a chaos in the management of these big and important interests which wouid dislocate ail industry and threaten the foundations of society. Nevertheless, the democratic party is the organization which will make the fight against the republicans four years hence. Debs' and Watson's assertions that the democracy is dead for good this time will not be accepted by many persons who have followed the history of that organiza tion. The democracy has met many Staggering defeats, though the last was a little more sweeping and humiliating than any of its previous disasters. Still, that party will keep up its organization. It will alter its creed and its leader ship in the next year or two, but the name will stick, and many of those who voted for Parker recently will support the man who is to be put up in the next national convention, it will be the democratic party that the republicans will meet in 1908, but it will be aßryan ized and Hearstized party, in which the fighting ingredient will be at the front, and which wi'l be able to make a more picturesque and stirring campaign than that which Parker and his followers put up.

CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, DECEMBER I, 1904 GOOD FEELING NOW ASSURED Beneficient Conditions Will Un doubtedly Result from Roose velt's Election. Since election day President Roose velt's energetic mind has been work ing along lines that, while not entirely new, cannot fail of attracting the grat ification of the American public, says the Indianapolis Star. A dispatch to the Star thus interprets the president's mind: "During his Incumbency in office he will mlngfe with the musses, visiting the Krt.at cities and learning for himself what tho people need, whitt policy they favor, whilt business changes must be brought about by legislation; in line, what can he done to Increase the happiness, prosperity and contentment <-f the masses, lie will Ignore the recommendations of politicians and the behests of party 'organisations. He will appoint to federal olllce only such men as nre acceptable to the people, and in Ills se lections for office he will not be Influenced by senators, representatives or by any leaders. Mr. Hoosevelt will invade tlie south with arms wide open, lb- will de clare that he has never sought to establish race equality. He does not consider ilns possible or desirable, lie will assert that his only idea is to recognize manhood wherever it is found, either in black or white, and that he seeks to elevate man hood in the i.egro. He believes that such action will establish better lee.lug between the north and the south." The president lias undoubtedly ar gued that the unanimity that charac terized his late election warrants him in making a departure. He realizes that the enormous and flattering vole given him was not confined to the re publican party, but came from all par ties. ile is warranted in the belief that lie is, for the coming four years, to be the president of the whole people, in fact and name, because the latter have £0 willed it. It is a beautiful idea, and carried to logical conclusion cannot fail of being of great benefit to the country. If it is possible for the president, in the midst of pressing official duties, togo among the people and study their af fairs and conditions with a purpose of bettering them. Abraham Lincoln's de sire—the desire born of Gettysburg and Appomattox—will be nearer realized than ever. Then, indeed, will it be impossible for "a government of the people, by the people and for the peo ple" to perish from the earth. And a constitutional blessing fa'ls benignly upon the president's plan. The "welfare of the people" was vouchsafed the residents of the United States by that great instrument, and one important purpose of tho visits and studies of the executive will be to make happy the countrymen who have expressed so splendidly their confi dence in him. NO SENSATIONAL AFFAIR. Subject of Tariff Revision Will Not Be Allowed to Disturb National Tranquility. AH sensible men know and admit that the Dingley tariff schedules are not sacred. Indue time it will be in order doubtless to consider the revision of them in cases that show inequity or oppression. However, the current suggestion, said to emanate from Washington, that it is necessary to take up tariff revision right after the inauguration—that it is necessary to tear up the industrial earth and rend the business heavens by calling an extra session of congress expressly to revise the tariff—is un worthy of sensible Americans and es pecially sensible republicans, says the Chicago Inter Ocean. The incoming congress was elected with no special mandate to revise the tariff. Neither was it elected with a special mandate against tariff revision. The tariff was not a vital issue in the campaign. The policy of protection was approved merely as one of the many republican policies passed upon at the polls on November 8. The schedules therefore are open, as ever, to review. That is all. The Fifty-ninth congress will be un usually free to deal with the tariff calmly and rationally and objectively. It was chosen under no special pres sure for or against tariff changes. It. was elected to proceed with policies under which the nation has prospered, and to improve those policies wliere ever possible. It has no call whatever to act with breakneck speed and in special session. A national administration is not a three-ring circus. It is not bound to present a sensational novelty every season. Its duty is rather to avoid sensationalism. Therefore, let us all be calm. Let tin not endanger the beneficient result of the election by hysterics or panics. Let us be sober-minded, and, when we take up tariff revision, do so in the. regular orler of business. tr3*As the harvest fields are yielding up their riches the men of the city are busy erecting new buildings. Along country lanes and city pavements the nation is busy. Prosperity is general. The sound of the hammer and saw ech oes the sound of the reaper.

New York, Nov. 25. —James Wallace, ! who is charged with the theft of stock ' certificates valued at nearly $150,000 i from Edward M. Breitung, a Mar quette, Mich., banker, by whom he ■ was employed as confidential secre i tary, has been arrested in Liverpool. : Nearly $25,000 of the sum alleged to have been stolon from lireitung was j recovered. Arrangements are now be ing made looking to tho extradition of j Wallace to this country. Wallace fled from Marquette on Oe | tober no, leaving word with his em i ployer that he was going to an Illinois ; institution for the cure of inebriety. When he did not return Mr. Breitung began an investigation with the result, that 850 shares of Michigan copper mining stock and 2UO share*! of United States Steel preferred stock were 1 found to be missing. He at once reported the case to tho American Bankers' association, with the result that a search was begun for Wallace. It was found that, he took passage from Boston on the Ctinard liner Saxonia for Liverpool on Novem ber 12 with a woman said to be his wife, under the name of Mr. and Mrs. James Wilson. If was subsequently learned that Wallace had obtained a letter of credit in Boston for C I,too. When the steamer reached England a detective was at the pier and the man and woman who had gone over under the name of Wilson wero followed until the man was positively identified as Wallace. Wallace was then taken into custody. The .C 1,100 and tho money which Wallace had in his pos session was recovered. SOLD FOR $15,000. Major Delmar, the World's Champion Trotting Gelding, Is Bought by C. K. G. Billings. New York, Nov. 25.—Major Delmar, the world's champion trotting gelding, with an tin paced trotting record of 2:01 *4 and a paced trotting record of 1:59%, was sold at. the Old Glory sale at Madison Square Garden Thursday for $15,000. The purchaser wasV. K. G. Billings, owner of Lou Dillon. It , was announced that Mr. Billings would race Major Delmar and Lou Dillon in a.i effort to break tho world's record. Major Delmar was consigned by E. E. Smathers. who bought him last year for $40,000. The record price thus far at the sals was paid for Sadie Mac, another of the E. E. Smathers string, who was bought by Miss Kate L. Wilks, of Gait, Ont., for $15,500. Miss Wilks is the owner of Oro Wilkes and of several horses that won blue ribbons at tho horse show last week.

Crew of an American Vessel that was Wrecked Suffered Great Hard ships. Astoria, Ore., Nov 25.—With three men of her crew missing and probably lrowned, with her decks awash and the surviving members of her crew nearly exhausted from five days' ex posure to the elements, the American barkentine Webfoot, waterlogged and dismasted, has been towed into port here. Capt. Lewis reports that while his vessel rolled in the heavy seas off the mouth of the Columbia river. > threatening every moment togo to the bottom, three steam schooners ' bound south and three bound north passed him, yet none offered him as- ; sistance. The appearance of the Soat Fran- t cisco liner George W. Elder saved their lives. For five days the crew of the barkentine were huddled on the j top of the cabin with no protection whatever from the gale. Excepting a few raw potatoes tho men had noth ing t(V eat and only such water as could be secured by catching rain in their oilskin hats. Capt. Lewis states that he could not. possibly have sur | vived two days longer. PATTERSON MURDER TRIAL. Many Witnesses Gave Their Testi mony. New York, Nov. 23. —Several un usual features were presented in the supreme court yesterday in the trial of Nan Patterson for the alleged mur der of Caesar Young, Frederick D. Michaels, the cabman, described the cab in which Young met his death. During the day a skeleton and two pieces of skin from Young's second finger were produced in court by the prosecution. The skeleton was shown in order that the course of the bullet that killed Young might be traced. New York, Nov. 24.—1n the trial of Nan Patterson, charged with the mur der of Caesar Young, the expert testi j mony of physicians was offered yes terday to show that Young could not have killed himself; two cabmen tes . titled to having seen Young abuse Miss Patterson early in the morning of June 4, and another witness, a newsboy, swore that he saw Morgan i Smith, her brother-in-law, strike Miss ; Patterson in the face on the night of | June 3, after Smith had said to her ' "You will have Ijj do it,"and she hai. answered: "t won't."
