As the first pronouncement on na tional issues which has been made by any stale convention in lttOo, the dec laration of principles put forth by the Ohio republican assemblage will at tract the country's attention, says the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. The con vention was rather more harmonious than most of the Ohio state gatherings have been in the past. Two Ohioans —Taft and Foraker —are aspirants for the presidential nomination in I'JOS, but the convention wisely declined to commit itself to either of them or to anybody at this early stage. Squabbles among the state leaders are on in 1905, as in all former years, but there was no trace of them in the convention. Nobody felt any doubt as to the nomi nations which it would make. Her rick has been a good governor, and, un der the rule of politics prevailing in the Buckeye state, he was sure to get a second nomination. The nomination means election, for the only doubt is as to whether l*is lead will be 100,000 or be down to 70,000 or 80,000. On the questions of national concern the convention's position will be ap plauded by republicans all over the country. "We stand by the principles of protection to American labor and American industries," it sets forth. "We believe that congress should so legislate that American ships with American sailors shall carry American products over all seas and through the Panama canal that the United States of America is building. The American navy should be made and kept equal to every need." The platform also ex pressed approval of the administra tion's policy in Americanizing Porto Rico, Hawaii and the Philippines; de manded the enforcement of the consti tutional amendments in the matter of the ballot; approved the president's policy on the trust and railway ques tions. and favored adequate appropria tions for river and harbor improve ment. It is sound on all the issues which are before the country. In all the president's reforms he can count on the active and powerful support of the Ohio republicans. All this will make inspiring reading for the party throughout the country. Ohio's canvass will be watched with Interest all over the United States. It will be the most important state cam paign of 1095, and on that, account will be looked upon as affording a gauge of republican strength with the people. The platform called attention to the fact that Ohio gave a 255.000 plurality to Roosevelt last November, which was several times as long a lead as any other candidate of any party ever gained in that state. But nobody ex pects such a tidal wave in 1905. Noth ing is at stake which could call out. the interest that was excited in the presi dential campaign. Herrick got a plu rality of 113.000 in his campaign of 1903, in which he had Tom L. Johnson for an opponent. He may equal those figures in 1905, but the chances are that he will not. Johnson was a pic turesque figure, and he made so many boasts that the republicans felt the necessity of getting out a heavy vote in order to make sure of defeating him by a majority big enough to kill him as a factor of importance in future state campaigns. This year's demo cratic candidate for governor, whoever he chances to be, will not attract the attention that Johnson commanded, and v ill not impose on the republicans the necessity for calling out such a heavy vote as they polled two years ago. Republican victory is so certain that it will be hard to get up much local excitement, and consequently Herrick's lead is likely to be smaller than it was two years ago. The cam paign will be made on national issues, however; the state is the biggest which will vote this year; it has two repub lican presidency seekers; and for these and other reasons its campaign will be watched carefully by democrats and republicans in every state. OF POLITICAL IMPORT. Roosevelt does not want to be nominated again, but Col. Bryan has not yet declined.—Phila delphia Press. c Reciprocity has taken a new turn. Col. Bryan is going abroad to show the foreigners how things arc done in a tree country.—St. Louis Globe-Dem ocrat. ic Socialism may make its insidious way under the,cloak of philanthropy and the church, but it is nevertheless a venomous serpent.—Chicago Chroni cle. Bryan agrees with Mr. Roosevelt on a good many proposi tions, but can hardly see why any man should refuse a presidential nomina tion.—^Washington Post. IE/"Mayor Tom Johnson of Cleveland has much the same views of municipal ownership as Mayor Dunne of Chica go. But apparently the sort of social ism which he seeks to Introduce into city government is not very profitable. Cleveland reports a $5,000,000 deficit under his administration. Troy- Times. tt.''Revenue will have to be raised, but that is more likely to be done by increasing the internal taxes or add ing. new ones than by modifying the tariff. —Chicago Chronicle. Bryan is again togo abroad, this time to study government owner ship of railroads. Mr. Bryan in mak ing the announcement adds that he W'ill be in politics when ho comes bad In fact, that seems to be the chief reason why he is now going abroad The limelight facilities there for him will be much better than at home un til 19(»8 draws much nearer. —N. V. Tribune. CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, JUNE 15, 1905. FROM OHIO REPUBLICANS. They Stand for Protection to Ameri« can Labor and Industrial Progress. The republicans of Ohio gave their voice on national issues, and gave it unanimously. The platform was adopt ed without a dissenting vote, and every candidate was nominated by acclama tion. Ohio speaks with a high degree of authority, says the Troy Times, for the republicans of that state gave to the country every republican elected president from Lincoln to Roosevelt— and every one of them a soldier in the union army—and cast 600,000 republic an votes last, liovember, with a plural ity of 255,000 for the present chief magistrate of the nation. When the republicans of such a state speak in unison it behooves the members of the party throughout the country to give respectful attention. What do the Ohio republicans say? They reaffirm unequivocally the repub lican platform of 1904. They stand by protection to American labor and in dustries, legislation to put American ships on the seas, the proper upbuild ing of the navy, the continuance of this country's influence in both hemis phere's, the preservation of the ballot's sacredness, the prevention of racial discrimination and the support of the national progress by the methods of common sense and not by schemes that are revolutionary and unwise. The Ohio republicans in their plat form indorsed the work of President Roosevelt in enforcing the laws against combinations in restraint of trade and in seeking to stop all unjust discrimi nations and special favors in the form of railway rebates. The Buckeye state recognizes in the universal prosperity of this country the best vindication of the wisdom of the republican policies. A tree that has born such good fruit deserves to be carefully preserved and its safety lies in the hands of the republican par ty. With Secretary Taft chosen to pre side over the convention and with two of Ohio's sons in President Roosevelt's cabinet, it can be seen that the rela tions between the national administra tion and the republicans of Ohio are harmonious. Gov. Herriek in accept ing a renomination, to which his effi cient services entitle him. said: "We republicans of Ohio stand for Theodore Roosevelt, and we stand for every thing that he stands for." Ohio proves that the republican par ty is still united in the defense and ad vocacy of republican policies, and rec ognizes that the present administra tion is carrying out in an earnest, and faithful way those principles of wise progress which will not only continue the nation's prosperity, but which will assure the retention in popular favor of the republican party as the safe guardian of American growth. PROTECTION AND SOUTH. Remarkable Industrial Development Due to Increase in Man ufacturing. The southern states have at present under construction 4,77t> miles of rail road, as compared with 2.724 miles foi the northern states, according to the Railway Age. This, says the Ameri can Economist, shows the remarkable development now going on in the south, due almost entirely to increase in manufacturing. One might well wish that John C. Calhoun and Mc- Dufiie and Hayne and the other free trade leaders of ante-war times could return and behold their old slave states, then consecrated to cotton and rice and sugar, almost keeping pace with the north in manufactures Had the Walker tariff become a permanent IRilicy there would be no cotton mills in the south, now consuming more than halt the cotton used in this coun try. The southerner no longer has to buy his shirts aud sheets by way of Manchester, England. They can be made, as they should be made, where the cotton is grown and where the coal and iron are mined to build the rails on which to transport them to the world. But there is room for still more fac tories, both north and south, for we are buying annually $50,000,000 worth of cotton goods abroad, when we should be selling that amount in stead. Only by joining the north in keeping protection a national policy and protecting our home market can tho south continue in its advance to ward industrial and commercial perulence and prosperity. A great future is before the now busy south if we maintain our purchasing power through the high wages made possible only by a protective tariff. C'Col. Bryan will visit Europe next fall and gather all the facts he can find that are favorable to municipal and government ownership. No other kind of facts need apply.—Kansas City Journal. c ' There will be plenty of important questions to take up the public minJ from now on, and the business of the country will goon improving regard less of the absence of tariff agitation. —Burlington Hawkeye. try We like the logic of Secretary Shaw, and we shall be disappointed if his stand-pat attitude is not backed up by the entire country.—New l.oudon (Conn.) Day. C ' There has just died in California an aged democrat who, on the election of Lincoln, made a vow that his hair should not be cut or his walking stick touch the ground until his party was in power again at Washington. H( kept his vow, avoiding a barber until Cleveland was elected, lie was a good type of the democratic party—short on common sense, but mighty obstinate —Buffalo Express. IN THE NAME OF HUMANITY President Roosevelt Makes an Appeal to Russia and Japan tor Peace. THE OUTLOOK IS FAVORABLE Efforts that Have Been Made by the President Have Been Seconded by the Great Powers of Europe and the End of the War Is Said to be in Sight. Washington, June 10.—An identical note, the text of which, by authority of the president, was made public late last night at the White House by Sec retary Loeb, lias been forwarded to the governments of Russia and Japan by President Roosevelt. In the interest of humanity tlie president urges the warring nations to conclude peace, it is suggested by the president that the negotiations for peace be conducted "directly and exclusively" between the belligerent nations. The note indicates the president's belief that, an intermediary may not be necessary to effect conclusive nego tiations, but likewise expresses the president's willingness to do all that he properly may do to promote the preliminary arrangements for a time } and place of meeting of representa tives of (he Russian and Japanese governments. When President Roosevelt left, Washington yesterday on a two days' trip to Virginia, he was confident that the result of the international nego- J tiations for peace in the far east had been successful and that the final blow in the Russo-Japanese war had been struck. MORTON FOR CHAIRMAN. Directors of the Equitable Life Assur ance Society Chose the Secretary of Navy for Manager of that Company. New York, June 10.—Paul Morton, who retires from the secretaryship of the navy on July 1, was yesterday unanimously elected chairman of the Equitable Life Assurance Society.

Norristown, Pa., June 10.—A war rant was issued Friday for the arrest of Giacano Campollo, an Italian section hand who is alleged to have stolen two gold bars valued at $11,500 from the ashes of a burned express car on the Philadelphia & Reading railroad at Bethayres a few weeks ago. Campollo, it is said, sailed for Naples a few days ago and is expected to reach home in Italy within a short time. The bars belong to the S. S. White Dental Manu facturing Co. and were being shipped to the New York branch of the con cern. In transit the car containing the gold bars and other express matter caught fire near here and was detach ed from the Reading train and run onto a siding at Bethayres. The ex press car was entirely destroyed and after the e.nbers had cooled Campolli while searching in the ashes found the bars. He is alleged to have told his sweetheart of his good fortune, but because he refused to allow the girl to accompany him to Europe she notified the detectives who were working on the case and the warrant is the result of the woman's story.
