On taking their seats for the time on the bench at the newly erect ed courthouse at Delmerhorst, Ger many. the judges were much perturbed to find that the architect had orna mented iho portico with the sculptured head of a fox on one side and that of a sheep on the other. Grafting the bone from a dog's ler» onto the leg of a man, to replace sonio five inches of bone that had been re moved, and so saving to the man his leg. was the remarkable surgical feat performed by a San Francisco sur geon. It was the first recorded casa of grafting upon the human bone tlio bone of one of the lower animals. One of the oddest freaks of reptil® life ever seen in Danbury, Ct., was killed by William Bigham. It was a snake with two distinct heads, and wai sunning itself on a West Street side walk when Mr. Bigham discovered it. The reptile was about two feet long and was ol the striped adder variety, which ! s a poisonous one. Each head was on a neck two inches long. Reports received by the department of commerce and labor, through its bureau of statistics, indicate that the total grain receipts at the ports of Boston, New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore during August showed a gain of nearly four million bushels, if compared with similar arrivals in Ifiu-}. On the other hand, ihe inbound cureal movement a New Orleans, as well as at San Francisco and Tacoma, pre sented heavy losses by like compari sons. Both "esplanade" and "boulevard" are military terms by origin. The orig inal "boulevard" was a bulwark or horizontal part of the rampart and an "esplanade" was originally the glacis or slope of the counterscarp of a forti fied place. A writer 200 years atro noted that the word boulevard was "now chiefly taken for the void space between the glacis of a citadel and the lirst houses of a town." Hence its extension to other "void spaces" suit able for promenading. The latest production of the glorious climate of the west is a cat ranch. This old maid's paradise is located on Puget sound, and the ranch occupies the whole island. This was necessary in onler that there may be no neigh bors to complain, for the nightly con certs of several thousands of cies would naturally bring forth complaint.-, and make the life of a municipal court judge one round of mise/y.

Bryan to Resume Control and Array the Poor Against the Rich. In his speech at Akron a few days ago Secretary Taft indicated the na tional ;.s well as the state importance of the pending campaign in Ohio, lie pointed out that the defeat of Gov. Herrick would he heralded as the dawn of a new democracy, significant of what was to happen in the next con gressional and presidential elections. "The truth is," said he,"it is per fectly apparent that Mr. Bryan is grad ually resuming control over the demo cratic party and proposes to assume the aggressive in a controversy in which he hopes to array the poor against the rich, to shake the present system of private property and free dom of contract, to cripple the federal tourts that are now such a bulwark in the defense of the constitutional rights of individuals; to substitute for our present system of railways, privately owned and maintained, government railways, and in every way to introduce a system of paternalism which in the end would certainly paralyze the indus trial and social progress of this coun try. This movement in favor of gov ernment ownership of public utilities to include the commercial railroads, is not a mere chimera. It finds its be ginning in the proposition for munici pal ownership of street railways by Mayor Dunne, of Chicago, by Mayor McClellan, of New York, and even still more in the attitude of Mr. Ilearst in running against Mr. McClellan. Secretary Taft said that Tom L. Johnson, of Cleveland, known as an advocate of the single tax system and of government ownership of public utilities, was an earnest supporter of the democratic ticket in Ohio, and, in his belief, the triumph of that ticket would bring Bryanism and Johnson ism to the front as the issues upon which we are to fight the next presi dential campaign. "It is the purpose and always has been the purpose of President Roose velt, in the policies which he has rec ommended for adoption by congress, to meet these dangerous attacks upon our present economic, social and political conditions by remedying the actual evils which every one must recognize and thus entrenching ourselves against the assaults of socialism, the suppres sion of individualism and the instiga tion of class hatred based 011 alleged Injustice and abuses that do not exist. He has, therefore, been most active in the promotion of prosecutions under the anti-trust law and in securing of legislation to aid in its enforcement. He believes, as every one must who knows anything about the subject, that perhaps the most serious abuse of the last two decades has been the unjust discrimination in railway rates as be- Iween individual shippers and as be tween different localities, and, indeed. 111 some instances by rates in excess of that which would be reasonable for the service itself." STAND FOR THE TARiFF. Protection Wins Victory and Busi ness Interests Will Be Conserved. The returns from the primaries show that the defenders of the tariff as it stands won a victory. They acted upon the common-sense judgment that it would be foolish to dam the swelling tide of national prosperity by opening the way to tinkering with a system un der which trade is magnificently in creasing and productive industry kept superbly busy. They perceived, says the Pittsburg Times, that w hen the "knock ers" against the tariff were once permit ted to attack it there could be no bounds placed to the extent to which they wouM endeavor to go. Realizing these facts the majority of the Massachusetts re publicans decided that they would not risk the danger of the disturbance of business that would inevitably follow the subjection of the protective system to amendment. They have rendered a verdict that will encourage every inter est dependent in the least degree 011 tar iff stability and that must correspond ingly discourage the organizations and individuals who intend to introduce the revision question at the coming session of congress. Why the HasteP At a time when this country is en joying the greatest measure of pros perity the world has ever known; with a home market that is worth more than the combined international com merce of all nations, including our own; when agricultural and manufac turing industries are expanding and the volume of our foreign trade is in creasing year by year, it is natural that other manufacturing nation* should seek to enter our market. Ger many has made a bluff at shutting out our foodstuffs, but our best customer, England, has made no threats; Russia has tried the game and failed; Franc if> not making any attempt to force a reciprocity treaty, although one nego tiated with her was defeated in th.> renate twu» years ago. Why, then should we haste to surrender to Ger many alone when, as has been shown, there is little danger from that souive' —Milwaukee Sentinel. IWPresident Roosevelt has written entertainingly about winning the west. And now he appears to have won the south. A remarkable incident occurred in Richmond, Va., when at a meeting of representative democrats of thn state an impassioned appeal was made to the people to stand by the president in the policies which promise so much for Ihp country and the south. As th.-> president's motives and purpose* are thoroughly t'uderstood the south p»>r fives that no one has Its Interests more profoundly at heart,—Troy Tlu.es. CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 1905 ALL RIGHT IN PHILIPPINES. The Very Opposite of What the "An ti-Imperialists" Say Is True. On the eve of his departure for tha Philippines recently, Gen. Leonard wood said: "The Philippines are now under the best government they were ever under, and I cannot see what grievances the Filipinos have. There is now no trou ble on the islands." How often, says the Washington Star, the simple fact here stated is overlooked or perverted by the anti imperialists in the discussion of this question! One might easily suppose from their misgivings that the United States had brutally "butted in" at Ma nila, overturned a government of progress altogether acceptable to the people, set them back in all their as pirations, and inaugurated a mercenary scheme for the exploitation of the ar chipelago. Their favorite representa tion of the case is the buying of peo ple at so much a head, and bringing them to consent and obedience at the point of the bayonet. The very opposite of that is true We found the Filipinos under the har row. They had never known what good government was. Tyrannized over in the Spanish fashion, they were unsettled and unhappy, given to vio lent outbreaks against authority, and dangerous alike to themselves and to their masters. They hailed us as de liverers, and it was with the greatest difficulty that, we restrained them from their purpose to massacre those who remained' of their late oppressors. Did we bocme oppressors ourselves? Was the change one only of hard mas ters? How can anybody familiar with the facts say that? We resisted with force, as a matter of necessity. Agui naldo's treachery, but since the putting down of the revolt led by him we have addressed ourselves steadily and suc cessfully to the betterment of the con ditions of the people. The Filipinos, for the first time in the history of the islands, are participating in the con duct of their own affairs, and looking forward with confidence to a larger share in government at an early day. A popular assembly is only two years off, and education is the watchword everywhere. Gen. Wood states the case conserva tively. Not only are "the Filipinos un der the best government they were ever under," but in its accomplish ments and purposes it is the best gov ernment ever vouchsafed to a people incapable of governing themselves. We have proceeded on lines so advanced and beneficent that we have been crit icised as benevolent dreamers and doc trinaires by powers that have preceded us in the government of oriental peo ples. SHOULD BECOME INFORMED Revisionists Show Their Z'Teed of En lightenment on Tariff Facts. The demand for free raw materials is an old one. It was the democratic- cry during their campaign preceding the enactment of the Wilson bill, and their theory was incorporated in that bill, so far as they dared togo with it. But the demoralization of the home market, which resulted from too low tariff rates on manufactured articles, so reduced the demand upon manufacturers for fi.*lshed goods, says the Springfield Union, that they had little occasion to use free raw materials. Under the Wil son law free raw materials averaged but 2G per cent, oft lie total imports, while under the Dingley law they average 31.8 per cent. It must always be borne in mind that what is free raw material for the manufacturer is the finished product of the producer, and the producer de mands the same degree of protection that is accorded the manufacturer. The manufacturer of woolens would like free wool, but how about the American farmer who grows the wool? The re visionists in the republican party want to make sure that in the pursuit of their ideas they do not find themselves in the democratic camp. They would do '.veil to turn occasionally to the pages of tar iff history and note the results of the Wilson bill. CRITICISM AND COMMENT. Hague tribunal is like the democratic party.

ERNMENT'S LAW OFFICERS EY A NEW PLEA IN BAR. AN AGREEMENT WITH GARFIELD Counsel for the Packerc Claims that Commissioner Garfield Promised Them Immunity from Prose cution if They Aided His Investigation. Chicago. Nov. —lmmunity from prosecution under the pending indict ment returned by a federal grand jury several months ago, is claimed liy J. Ogden Armour and (he other packer defendants in which they are charged with being promoters of the so-called "Beef Trust'* in an additional plea in bar tiled Thursday afternoon by Ai torney John S. Miller, for the packers. The new plea, which came as a sur prise to the government, sets up as facts that when Commissioner Gar field, of the department of commerce and labor, investigated the beef [lack ing business he promised the packers that in whatever testimony they gave without being under oath, or what ever documentary evidence they vol untarily produced, the defendants should have the same rights and im munities as it. they had testified under jath and compulsion. Under this new plea Attorney Mil ler hopes to establish the fact that here was an agreement between the packers and the government that they should testify and produce evidence without being subpenaed, or the oath :ieing administered, but that as far as mmunity was concerned, it should be considered as if they had been sub penaed and taken the oath. The allegation of an agreement be ween Commissioner Garfield and the packers was a surprise to District At orney Morrison and Assistant At orney General Pagin; and it Vas said ast. night that. Commissioner Cariield 'lad been asked concerning exactly ivhat occurred during the investiga tion into the beef business. MITCHELL MUST GO. Methodist Bishops Render a Verdict Against a Teacher of Theology— Trial for Heresy Mr.y Follow. Philadelphia, Nov. 4.—The board of bishops of the Methodist Episcopal •hurch will inform the trustees of the Boston university school of theology sn next Monday that the plea of the trustees for the retention of Prof. Hinckley (J. Mitchell in the chair of Did Testament criticism in iliat school cannot be granted. This decision on the part of the pishops was taken at Washington last week, where they heard intercession for Prof. Mitchell by President Huni ington, Dean Warren and Dr. Phillips, ■secretary of the board of trustees of the Boston school. The vote of the bishops was unanimous against ihe continuance of Prof. Mitchell in his chair. The bishops had previously decided that Prof. Mitchell could not hold his chair. Evidence of four students and Prof. Mitchell's book, "The World Before Abraham," formed the basis of his condemnation. The case was reopen ed, with the result that he is again condemned, and there is no other ap peal. It is stated on the best authority that a heresy trial in Prof. Mitchell's conference —that of northern New York —may result now, and it is fur ther said that the logical sequence of the ousting of the Boston higher critic is that Prof. Terry, of Northwestern university, at Evanston, 111., who has written a book on"The Shortcomings of Jesus" is likely to hear from the board of bishops. REFUSES TO ENJOIN. A Federal Judge Declines to Restrain Royal Arcanum's Supreme Coun cil in the Matter of New Rates. Nashville, Tenn., Nov. 3. —The in junction asked for to prevent the su preme council of the Royal Arcanum from putting into effect the rates adopted at the Atlantic City meeting and later ratified at Put-in-Bay, 0., was denied by Federal Judge Clark yesterday and- the bill of the com plainants dismissed. The court held that it was not clear under the law of Massachusetts, in which state the or der was incorporated, that this plan of assessment and the effect on members impairs the obligation of the cortract, and until it did so appear, the court should not interfere. Boston, Nov. ". —Attorney General Parker, of Massachusetts, has been asked to petition the supreme court for an injunction restraining the su preme council of the Royal Arcanum from enforcing the assessment rates adopted at the convention at Atlantic City last April and ratified at Put-in- Bay, 0., in August.
