Signs In Japan.
Clarenca Ludlow Brownell, in his
book, "The Heart of Japan," tells
amusingly of some signs he saw in
Japan on (he shops of merchants who
were bidding for English and Ameri
can trade: "Barber to Shave Beard or
to Dress Hairs Away." "The Genuine
ly Bier Buy the Health for Drink," "Of
smokes our tobacco is pressure to Our I
tongue and give the healthiness to
Hers and Hes! Also All People by It,"
"Cowmeat and Pigmeat and Ramune
Souda Sasupre Zlnsinbiya Jinjyael."
This last means lemon soda, sarsapa
rilla, ginger beer and ginger ale.
Mien of the Mikado.
When the mikado is seen In public
he manifests no interest in his sub
jects, neither smiling nor bowing as he
pass's along. He sits seemingly pas
.. jsionless, the accentuated type of the
Japanese. Indeed, he hardly seems to
hear the applause of the crowds. This
manner is to some extent perhaps a
mattei of etiquette, for the niika'lo
must show that he remembers the di
vinity of his ancestors, who were
gods 3,0(10 ,years ago.
Strange Rainstorms.
In the Colorado desert there, are rain
storms during which not a drop of wa- |
ter touches the earth. The rain can j
be seen falling from the clouds high
above, but when it reaches the hot. dry j
air beneath the clouds it is entirely !
absorbed. These strange rainstorms
take place in regions where the ther
mometer often registers 128 degrees in
the shade.
London Zoo Gorilla.
Miss Crowther, the largest and fierc
est gorilla ever captured, lately arrived j
at the London zoological gardens. She
is five feet six inches in height, meas
ures 42 inches around the chest and
possesses great strength. Occasiona'iv
she has fit of rage, but usually she is
very shy and hides her face from vis
itors with her hands.
Captain Death.
An English master mariner named
Death has had his name changed. He I
said, in explanation, that he was now
actir.g as first officer, but expected
soon to have command of a ship. He
was afraid t hat few passengers would
care about risking a voyage in a shij:
captained by Death. —Kansas City

PROSPERITY CONTINUING.
Industrial and Commercial Interests
Furthered by Wise Repub
lican Policies.
Those who keep in touch with the
news of the day cannot fail to be im
pressed with the assurances that come
from every side of conditions that indi
cate a continuation of the prosperity
which the country has been enjoying of
late. A most, powerful factor, says the
Troy Times, is the great wheat gather
ing recently completed, with the pros
pect of a corn yield seldom surpassed in
the national experience. The commer
cial and financial reports all point tp the
significance of the statements showing a
bountiful harvest, and there is no ques
tion that recent announcements have
had much to do with the buoyancy which
marks nearly every kind of commer
cial activity.
The New York Financier, a leading
journal in its line, takes occasion to
point out the facts which form ground
for belief in the lasting prosperity of
the nation. It alludes to the great grain
output and further remarks that not
only are the cereal crops large, but hay
and other forage supplies are abundant,
thus contributing to the material wealth
of the country in the promotion of the
important dairy industry and other in
terests. Cotton statistics also indicate a
far greater yield than was expected, not
withstanding the attempt to limit pro
duction, a circumstance which adds to
the natural wealth of the nation. In
concluding its review the Financier
sums up the matter thus:
"Almost never before in our history
lias this country been in a more advan
tageous position politically, financially
and commercially than iP is this year.
The restoration of peace in the orient
has been due largely to the interposition
of the good offices of our government;
for this the lately warring nations ap
pear profoundly grateful, and because
of this our country has taken front rank
politically, among the powers of the
world. Our strict observance of neutral
ity during the contest has won the en
thusiastic commendation of both con
testants and contributed to still more
firmly cement the ties of friendship
which have so long existed. Our mar
velous industrial development has
placed us in a position where we can suc
cessfully compete with European man
ufacturers in business incident to the
repair by Russia, at least, of the rav
ages of the war and. moreover, the atti
tude of Russia's chief plenipotentiary,
on the conclusion of peace, would seem
to indicate that his influence will be ac
tively exerted for the promotion of our
industrial and commercial enterprises.
Not only in Europe, but in the orient,
the field for our activities has been
broadened as never before, and the pos
sibilities of trade expansion are of mag
nitude almost beyond conception. Un
exampled prosperity seems now to be
clearly within our reach, and that it will
be realized appears to be dependent
only upon our ability to grasp the oppor
tunity."
At peace with all the world, possessing
the sincere respect and friendship of
other nations, and turning out products
which are more in demand abroad than
ever before, what land has so much of
promise as the United States? And to
this position of unexampled prosperity
and influence how much has been con
tributed through the wise policies of
republicanism and the matchless tact
and statesmanship of the administration
of which President Theodore Roosevelt
is the head!
THE FIELD OF POLITICS.

he proposes to try it again. Mr. Bryan

landslide this year. They have one in
Ohio whenever there is an election
and it is generally necessary to dig the

CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1905.
BOLD BRYAN MESSAGES.
The Perennial Democratic Humbug
Gives Forth a Part
ing Bray.
The last thing before leaving his
country for his country's good Mr
Bryan has published in the Commoner
an open letter to President Roosevelt,
which is probably the most impudent
thing lie lias ever perpetrated, says the
Chicago Chronicle.
The subject-matter is the president
as a peacemaker and the treatment is
a combination of patronage and toady
ism. He graciously concedes that, the
president managed the Russo-Japanese
peace conference very, well, but pro
ceeds to offset this generous compli
ment with a criticism of the presi
dent's course with reference to the ar
bitration treaty with European coun
tries which the president negotiated
and the senate rejected.
He says the senate "wisely refused
LO surrender the treaty-making j>ow
er," which is probably the most of
fensive thing he could have said to
the president. Then he makes a silly
recommendation about an internation
al arbitration board which betrays a
total ignorance of The Hague confer
ence agreements. All of this Is
couched in Bryan's inimitable ungram
matical and incoherent phraseology.
Could anything be more disgusting.'
Fiver since the last presidential elec
tion, in which Bryan and his followers
were buried out of sight by an indig
nant country, he has pursued the pres
ident like a poodle dog, sometimes
barking to attract his attention and
then licking his boots to cultivate his
acquaintance.
Bryan flatters the president with as
surances that he is a good democrat.
He tries to overwhelm him by assur
ances: that he would even vote for him.
He "honors" him with a visit and a
"conference" on public affairs. Now
he writes him this revolting open let
ter, praising him. censuring him and
counseling him. Could anything ba
more indecent?
President Roosevelt has never de
served this humiliation and his friends
should resent it.
As a perennial democratic humbug
Bryan is at liberty to criticise and
even to slander the president, but th:>
country will draw the line at. jollyinrr.
nagging, patronizing and chumminess.
If there were any lese-majeste laws hi
America the perpetration of such of
fensfs as liis presidential "messages"
would consign him to a felon's cell.
DUAL TARIFF CUTS PRICES.
Home Market Would Be Weakened
and Wages Would Go
Down.
Tn the glad days of the Wilson tariff,
when the foreigners were not "strang
ling the American export trade in ag
ricultural products and manufactur-d
goods," our total exports of everything
in 1595 were $793,392,599. In the fis al
year of 1905 they were $1,518,501,720!
Oui "great basic industry" cannot
suffer, says the New York Press, so
long as the American people have so
muen money and are living so wall
that they take all the farmers offers at
the best prices of modern history. If
the farmer sells all he raises at top
prices it. will take the "dual tariff" re
visers a long time to convince them
that they would be better off selling
more abroad at lower prices and les.--
at home at lower prices.
Put. American wage earners out of
employment and the first thing togo
down in price will be our farm prod
ucts for the first, thing the men wh i
are out of work, or on reduced time
and wages, will do will be to eat less,
wear less and cut down their geneial |
living expenses. What the farmer !
wishes to preserve is his market of
good prices—the home market. The
"dual tariff" will weaken the horn"
market and lower all prices, commodi
ties and wages alike.
Poachers Would Get In.
A prominent New York business
man, writing from Venice. August 24.
says:"l can see everywhere I go in
Europe that the ambition and desire of
the people is to get into our preserves. I
where they know there is plenty of j
game They have shot all the good j
game in this country, and. like sports- j
men, are hunting new shooting j
grounds. This matter of trade is no- ,
unlike shooting privileges; must, be |
pro'ected by law and p n nalti r s to keep |
off the poacher, who. if admitted free- j
ly, would soon destroy all that was
valuable to us. I wish I could quote j
language and persons 1 have seen who
talked freely al>out America. They 1
"<aiiv fear us more than we realise. 1.
is said freely that we are amassing
such great wealth that we menace the
old world; that, we are building up ( he
greatest market In the world and com- ;
ing into and sharing the best n* the j
markets of the world. They do not see j
any way to check us unless by making I
a trade dicker, so we will give them a '
share for what, if we keep on. we will !
soon possess without giving anything \
in leturn for." —American Economist I

SCHIFF ATTACKS MR. HENDRICKS
He Assails the New York Superin.
tendent of Insurance —He Said
Equitable's Finance Commit
tee Was Dominated by
by Mr. Hyde.
New York, Sept. 30. —When the leg
islative committee on the insurance
investigation adjourned yesterday un
til next Wednesday it concluded a
week in which greater progress had
been made than in any week since the
investigation begun.
It was during the afternoon session
yesterday when Alfred \Y. Maine, an
associate auditor of the Equitable
Life Assurance Society was called to
the stand, that it was disclosed that
the Equitable Life, the Mutual Life
4iid the Now York Life companies had
formed a pool to look after legislation
before the various state legislatures.
Andrew Hamilton, to whom President
McCall, of the New York Life, paid
several checks the purpose of which
the counsel for the committee, Mr.
Hughes, has not yet brought to light,
was one of Iho chief members of the
legal staff for these companies and
was employed and received money for
•services from the Equitable.
Not the least important develop
ment of the day was the appearance
on the stand of Jacob H. Seliiff, head
of the banking firm of Kuhn, Loeb &
Co. He vigorously defended his atti
tude while a director of the Equitable
society and claimed his firm had acted
in a conscientious manner in all its
dealings with the society. At the con
clusion of his testimony and before the
committee could adjourn, Mr. Sehiff
asked to be allowed to make a state
ment. He was permitted and he made
an impassioned attack on the state
superintendent of insurance and
statements he had made concerning
Kuhn, Loeb & Co. during the investi
gation of the Equitable.
During his testimony Mr. Seliiff
made the charge that the minutes of
the finance committee regarding a cer
tain meeting were false. He later
qualified this, however, by saying if
the transaction under consideration,
one in Cnion Pacific preferred, was ac
tually made he did not hear it. though
lie was present at. the meeting. Again
during his testimony regarding the
power of the finance committee of the
Equitable society Mr. Schii'f said that
the entire committee was at the mercy
of one man."lt was all Hyde," said
Mr. Seliiff, "all Hyde and Alexander."
New York, Sept. 28.—Yesterday's
session of the legislative committee to
investigate insurance methods was
given over to the matter of syndicate
transactions of the Equitable Life As
surance Society. Henry It. Winthrop,
assistant secretary and financial sec
retary, was on the witness stand and
many of his statements were accom
panied by typewritten documents giv
ing the various transactions in detail.
It was brought out that in one of these
syndicates Senator Depew was a par
ticipant to the extent of SIOO,OOO and
the senator was requested to appear
before the committee.
An astonishing revelation was made
when Mr. Winthrop declared that vari
ous sums that had been paid to the
Equitable, amounting in all to $92,493,
had disappeared. There is no record
of the final resting place of the money.
BUSINESS BAROMETER.
The Leading Industries Are Assured of
Great Activity for Months to Come.
New York, Sept. 30. —R. G. Dun &
Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says:
Lower temperature stimulates retail
trade and fall openings are largely at
tended, but the weather is not cold
enough to menace late crops that are
maturing most satisfactorily. Cer
tainty of a successful season on the
farms contributes more than any
other single factor to the confidence
that is felt in all sections of the coun
try. Comparatively little new grain
has been marketed thus far, which is
largely due to the planting of winter
wheat and other preparations for next
year that are unusually extensive.
Manufacturing activity is fully
maintained, the leading industries
having contracts assuring little idlo
machinery during the balance of the
year, and it is probable that more
business will be carried over into 190G
than at the opening of any previous
year.
Failures this week numbered 250 in
the United States, against 223 Inst
year, and 21 in Canada, compared with
IS a year ago.

New York, Sept. 30.—William R.

installation of the most modern and ef

put on the market. it is known as the
Hall Lleetrie .Semaphore Normal Clear
i System, and is operated by stationary Btor
; aue batteries. 1 lie hue between ISergen,
|M. and Middletowu, a distance ol OS
I miles, is to be equipped at onee. For
| t hep iirst 32 miles, the signals will be out
two-thirds of a mile apart; for the rest
of the distance, about one and one-third
! miles apart. It will require live power
: plants for charging the batteries, which
I will be located at Rutherford Junction,
l'idgewood Junction, Sullem, Oxford and
Middletown. The line to be protected has
• two and four tracks at different places,
i and is the most congested part of the Erie
System. Hitherto a manual block, which
is a tower with signals operated by a
towerman, has been used as a block pro
tection, but it has been deemed best to
install an automatic system for further
protection, and to accelerate the move
ment of trains. The new system will be
extended over the entire line in the future.
