J Honors are coming thick and ' fast to Cameron county, the He- j publican party of this congression- ' aland judicial district, havingcon ceeded the nomination in both dis- j tricts to Little Cameron. At Du I Bois, last Thursday, our worthy 1 citizen, Gluts. F. Barclay was ac- ! corded the nomination on 10th ! ballot. While our citizens are i deeply indebted to the honorable ' gentlemen who i the eminent fitness of our candidate, ! all feel that the compliment thus j bestowed upon Cameron county j should be accepted by our people, i of all parties, in its true light. ; Cameron county has never before j been accorded a district nomina- I tion at the hands of the majority ! party, therefore let Mr. Barclay ' receive the solid vote of our citizens, j regardless of party. Our candi date is very popular throughout j this district and was selected on ! account of his nomination being | satisfactory to the entire party, re gardless of faction. Our candi- ■ date is free from all entanglements, \ is no man's man, but the represen- j tative of the people. Mr. Barclay's I election will follow by an immense! majority. Little Cameron will be j practically unanimous for Capt. C. j F. Barclay for Congress, as well as ! Judge Green for president judge, | party lines ha ving been obliterated, j Little Cameron is on the map, sure ! pop. The unwarranted attack on that ; veteran Republican, Wesley R. Andrews, chairman of the Republi- j can state committee, does not meet with the approval of those Republicans who vote straight, no matter if they do not always agree with the sentiments of the candidate. The Harrisburg Tele graph hits the nail pat, as follows: ' "~vVes" Andrews was a straight Republican many years before a j lot of the professional trouble-mak ers were old enough to butt into the Pennsylvania political game, and he's been a straight, Republi can throughout all the years in which the aforesaid professionals have been battering at the party supremacy. He's the kind of a Republican who supports the ticket whether j he's been permitted to name it or! not." ! Furnished Rooms. Five or six furnished rooms to rent, ] with hath.

"Not a Presidential Year." "This is not a Presidential year," remarks Mr. Emery. "It will be time enough to discuss national is sues two years hence." It is true that the vote will not be taken for two years, but with that single exception this is very much of a Presidential year. In tin; first place, no State can getaway from National issues when the President himself sets the pace and members of his Cabinet go up on the platform and deliver ad dresses. The majority in the House of Representatives is at stake. We are to determinein November next whether the policies of Theodore Roosevelt are to he supported or are to be frustrated by turning Con gress over to the Democrats. Pennsylvania must take a most important hand. Republican dis affection here, resulting Jin the loss of several districts, as would inevitably be the case, might alone block the good work of the Presi dent. Again, how can Mr. Emery ig nore the fact that this is the year when the Democratic Party is ac tually picking out its candidate for President? Not a Presidential year, indeed! What! with Pennsylvania Demo crats hailing Bryan as the leader, with State after State declaring for Bryan through Democratic conven tions, we should not discuss nation al questions now? Absurd! Mr. Emery nor no other man can separate State and National issues, neither in Pennsplvania nor in any other Commonwealth, this year. The issues are inextricably inter woven. Cnfortunately for Mr. Emery, he is on the wrong side of the fence. HE IS THE CANDIDATE OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY— of the opponents of President Roose velt—NOT OF THE PRESI DENT'S FRI ENDS. He inav express regard for the President. Yes, but he looks to the support of the Bry,mites and cannot succeed without them, and the Bryanites are using his name to defeat the Roosevelt policies. What are these State issues that he wishes to discuss? Corruption in politics? But the Republican Party has already made corruption almost impossible by the passage of the most drastic legislation that any State possesses, and Edwin S. Stuart stands squarely upon these splendid reforms. Mr. Emery rep resents nothing whatever in the way of honest politics that Mr. Stuart does not represent. Corporation greed? The control of corporations by the people? I >oes he wish to discuss that subject? Very well, but what does he pro pose to do that Mr. Stuart is not pledged to? Ilis own conventions —the Lincoln Party's, which he owned, and the Democratic Party's, which he controlled—have made a few promises, but, as Secretary Taft advises all voters to do, "com pare Democratic promises with RE publican peiformances." In the light of the Republican per formances in the special session of the Legislature, the pledges of the Republican conven tion to extend the policies of Presi dent Roosevelt into Pennsylvania, to force corporations to do the peo ple exact justice, cannot be lightly cast aside by Mr. Emery. Besides, this whole corporation subject is one that concerns the National administration as well as the policy of a State. Pennsylva nia, through her Republican con vention, is placed squarely upon the platform with President Roose velt and urges for the State just what he urges for the Nation. In a manner both Mr. Emery and Mr. Stuart are after the same results, but Mr. Stuart is endorsed by the great Republican strength of Pennsylvania, the strength which is ready to stand with Roosevelt upon every question, while, on the other hand, Mr. Emery is allied with the organization which belit tles the President and is at work for Bryan. The election of Stuart and the consequent indorsement of Roose velt mean safety in the Nation. The success of Emery and the three rampant Bryan candidates connected with him in the campaign would as a matter of necessity in vite disaster. It would swell the Democratic membership of Congress and give aid and sustenance to the anti- Roosevelt cause.—Philadelphia In quirer. Rheumatism Cured in Ten Days. Why Will You su(fer.

A Krcin-h Vcrdivt, All juries have a way of tempering justice with mercy and strict logic with good or bad sense. French juries excel in these practices. A Mine. Ca naby of Bordeaux was accused of hav ing forged two prescriptions and of having thereby obtained large quanti ties of poison, some of which she ministered to her husband, w'ri nearly died and was only save' 1 uy his doctor, who suspected somel/aing wrong and took him away.' The evidence was overwhelming, for the prisoner com pletely failed to give any plausible ex planation as to why she wanted the poison—enough, as the chemist said, to kill two regiments. Nevertheless the jury found .Mine, ('unaby guilty of forging the prescriptions, hut not guilty of attempting to poison her husband. Perhaps the jury thought the husband unpoisoned was punishment enough in himself for one crime. Inebriety anil (lie lOaliiiK of Fruit. Th TO is but one sure cure for the drinking disease or habit, and that is the simplest of all. The cure consists in eating fruits. That will cure the worst case of inebriety that ever af flicted a person. It will entirely de stroy the taste for intoxicants and will make the drunkard return to the thoughts and tastes of his childhood. No person ever saw a man or woman who liked fruit aud who had an ap petite for drink. No person ever saw a man or woman with an appetite for drink who liked fruit. The two tastes are at deadly enmity with each other, and there is no room for both of them iu the same human constitution. One will surely destroy the other. —What to Eat.
