A Cleveland man wtih live sets of twins and lour odd ones in his fam ily, believes President Roosevelt should award him a medal. A "twin medal," not a "tin one," is evidently what he wants.

The gardens of the Palace La Gran ja, where Alfonso and Victoria spend their honeymoon, is celebrated for its fountains. One of them, the Banos del Diane, spouts to the height of 1110 feet. When the fountain was com pleted, Philip V., the builder of tha palace, said: "Well, it has cost me $3,000,000, but for three minutes I have been amused." One of the strongest indorsements of the Osages as a law-abiding people ■was given by J. F. Palmer in hia speech at Hominy recently, says tho Osage (Okla.) Journal, when he said that out of the 2,000 on tho roll there was at the present, time only one member in prison, and there had been in the past period of ten years at a time when not an Osage was bo bind prison bars. Out of a population of 2,000 this is a remarkable showing, and speaks well for the Osage as a future citizen of tlie new common wealth. This latest news from the Crow res ervation is discouraging. We do not like to hear that the genuine cow boy Js dying out and that solemn, useful, commonplace persons from the middle west are taking up now lands, thus transforming a scene of gayety into one of plain, everyday, humdrum industry and thrift. Of course, we want to see the country prosper and hear it hum with prog ress. But we should like to preserve at least a little of the picturesque, the impulsive and the primeval. The buf falo has been exterminated. There is hardly a bear left that won't eat out of your hand. Are we to put Cinnamon Pete to driving street cars and hire gun lighters to feed pigs? In September the birthday of Pike's Peak will be observed by the state of Colorado. When Lieut. Pike was captured by Spanish soldiers in Feb ruary, 1807, he was relieved of sev eral maps and manuscripts which were never recovered. They are sup posed to have been sent by the gov ernor of Santa Fe to the viceroy of the City of Mexico, and by him for warded to Madrid. As the Spanish are careful about the preservation of historical documents and records, it is believed that Pike's papers are still in existence. At the suggestion of Rep resentative Brooks, of Colorado, Sec retary Root has requested the Span ish government to institute a search for them. If found they will probably be returned. Texas Woman says that it is a mis take to suppose m< would be more domestic if their wives should feed them better.

The Brit ish soldiers in India will hunt with fio other kJfld, THERE IS MORE THAN ONE WAY TO BREAK IN. i NO NEED OF HASTE WHAT SECRETARY SHAW UAID OF TARIFF REVISION. Matter Will Rest Until the Comfort and Happiness of the People Require a Change. The La Crosse Leader says:"The Republicans of the west agree with Senator Shaw that the tariff should he revised by its friends. They are also in favor of getting busy." With the report from the bureau of statistics of the department of com merce and labor showing the com merce of the United States, both as to exports and imports, exceeding that of any previous year in the history of the country; with prosperity at flood tide; with every industry working full time or overtime and two jobs or more for every man wanting a job, the argument that any industry in this country is suffering at the hands of the Dingley tariff is pure rot. Un der the protective tariff the country has enjoyed a greater measure of prosperity than at any previous pe riod in its history; in a word, it owes all the prosperity it ever derived from the Republican policies. If on the day of the enactment of the Dingley stat ute some enthusiastic friend of pro tection had predicted on the floor of congress or elsewhere that in less than a decade under the operation of that law the United States would be come the greatest export nation in the world, and that the total volume of our imports and exports would ex ceed $2,500,000,000 annually he would have been regarded as a dreamer or lunatic, and yet for the year ending the present month the total foreign commerce of this country will ap proximate three billions of dollars in value, beating all records. The Ding ley tariff isn't anything to injure the country in the light of things visible. The country has never been so rich and prosperous as it is to-day. We have had one experience with tariff revision. Grover Cleveland was elected on a free trade or tariff re vision platform. The tariff was re vised, and it brought on the most dis astrous financial and industrial de pression the world has ever wit nessed, costing the people of the United States inore than twelve bil lions of dollars, filling the country with want and woo. with millions idle and begging fc; work or bread. Has any one ever witnessed an army of industrious, honest and hungry men marching to Washington to demand work under a Republican administra tion? There are some people in this country who know when they have enough, and a whole lot of them don't want any more experience with Dem ocratic tariff panics. There is no occasion, with the busi ness and industries of the United States at the high tide of activity aud prosperity, for tariff tinkering. It would disturb existing conditions in evitably. The millions of people who are now contented and happy because they are receiving liberal wages and steady employment would not relish a return to idleness and poverty. The American people are better clothed, better housed, have more of the comforts and luxuries of life now than they ever before enjoyed. They believe in letting well enough alone. It will be time to revise the tariff when conditions demand it and when the comfort and happiness of the peo ple are dependent upon it. And Sec retary Shaw, for his part, says the time will not come until after the next presidential election. That is all. He does not declare that it will be necessary to'revise the tariff then, for he is not a prophet, and cannot know what conditions will be at that time. What Secretary Shaw does say is that when the time comes to revise the tariff all good Republicans will be found in favor of revision, and the work will be done just as faithfully and intelligently as the party discharged its obligation to the country in framing the Dingley law.— Bay City Tribune. CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, AUGUST 9, 1906. < NOT A UNIVERSAL DEMAND Statement That Western Republicans Ara Clamoring fjr TariH .Rd» form la Incorrect. A fe»v Republican and many Demo cratic correspondents at Washington are telling their papers that the Re publican party will suffer in the west in the congressional election of 190(1 on account of its attitude on the tar iff and on meat inspection. They say there is a powerful sentiment in lowa, Wisconsin, Illinois and othei western states in favor of a revision of the tariff and as the Republicar party of the nation is opposed to tar iff changes of any sort at this time they reason that the paty will los< votes throughout all the region j Meat inspection, they declare, ii ; dealing a heavy blow to the cattk j and hog raisers, and, as the Republic an congress and the Republican ad ministration pushed a measure t'oi meat inspection, the Republicans ar< sure to be hit hard in all the west i ern slates in the contest of 1900. These prophets are astray. tariff revision sentiment which they | imagine they see in the west is con ! lined to a very few spots, and is not : very pronounced even in those spots j Gov. Cummins, of lowa, is a reviser, but it is not altogether certain thai the Republicans of his state back him in his demand. Secretary Shaw, who probably represents a pretty large el ement of the lowa Republicans, ia against revision at this time. So ia Senator Allilson, who also stands foi a good many Republicans in tliat state. Gov. Cummins is making a canvass on the revision issue now, and although he claims to be far ahead of Perkins, his rival, for the governorship candidacy, it is not en tirely certain that he is correct. Perkins' friends are also making 1 claims, and these do not agree with i those of the governor. But even il Cummins should carry the state on that issue, it would nc«t necessarily | indicate that the west was on his side. There are a good many states I in the west, and there has not been , any marked demonstration in favoi ! of tariff revision among the Repub | licans in any of them except in lowa i and Wisconsin. Those are important states, but they do not dictate th« policy of the national Republican party. Moreover, the Republicans will carry both of them on the con gressional vote this year.—St. Louie j Globe-Democrat. A Prediction. The views of a practical business | man and large industrial producer s of Providence, as expressed in a let | ter to the American Economist, are I worthy of attention: "it is essential to leave the tarifl j absolutely alone. "It can do no harm, and it is do j ing good every day. "1 stated before the ways and means committee in 1897 that we were then the largest agricultural nation. That if the Dingley tarifl would remain in force for 25 years we would be the largest manufac turing and money nation in the world. In manufacturing iron and steel and some other items we are to-day. "If the present tariff if left abso lutely alone for 15 years more we will be the largest in all these depart ments, as I predicted." Nine of the 25 years have passed, and the prediction has been practi cally verified. Under the operation of a protective tariff the United States leads the world: In manufactures. In agriculture. In gross wealth and per capita wealth. In internal and external trade. In the production of coal, lfwn ore, and pig iron. With 10 years of uninterrupt ed protection, who can doubt that the United States would become the financial center, as it is now the in dustrial center of the world? The idea which has taken possession of Mr. Bryan lately is one that he had not expected to pick up when he went abroad this time. LAW UNCONSII UTIONAL Right to Labor and to Employ Labor Is Inherent and Cannot be Taken Away Except on Ground of Public Good. Nfew York. —• The state law of New York restricting the labor by women and children to ten hours a lay air! HO houri a week in a factory wai declared on Friday by Justice Olmstead in the court of special ses sions to be "an unwarranted invasion of constitutional rights." The ruling was concurred in bv Justices McKean and Deuel. Judge Olmstead declared that, the law was class legislation. Justice Olmsted said, in part, in his decision: "To labor and employ labor are inherent and inalienable rights of our citizens and cannot be taken away in whole or in part unless upon the broad ground of public good, which must be apparent, and cannot be predicated upon legislative dictum. "In the case under consideration the right, of the employed and the right of the employer are equally in volved. Nothing to the contrary ap pearing, it must lit' assumed that the woman was a willing worker for a willing employer and that the result was mutually satisfactory and profit able. "The present constitution of the state of New York was adopted in 1894. All of the rights which adult women possessed at that time were confirmed by that document. One of those rights certainly was the right lo contract for her labor and to work when and where she pleased. It was not until four years after that the law making power sought to place the limitation under consideration upon them, "What war. tiie legislative intent In doing this.' i'he attorney find.! and urges no other rea;ion lb.in that liie general welfare of the state demands that the progeny of women of the factories shall have mothers with healthy bodies to the end that the state may have sturdy citizens. Does tlie state look merely to the chil dren of the factory women for its fu ture good citizens? Why should the housewife, the woman who toils at home, in mercantile house, in offices, or she who tolis not at all be exempt from legislative interference, injunc tive or mandatory, for the same rea son? It this question of future citi zenship is the only excuse for the as sumption of police power, what be comes of the rights of the non-child bearing woman, a considerable class?" Attorney General Mayer says that he will appeal from the decision of the court. ALL SECTIONS ENJOY PROSPERITY. Report of R. G. Dun & Co. on the Con dition of Business. New York.—R. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says: Commercial activity is welk main tained, and early preparations are made for autumn and winter business. August opened with no adverse devel opments in the trade situation, while crop progress during July was most favorable. Trade reports are depend ent upon agricultural results, but all sections of the nation enjoy great prosperity and there is scarcely a dis cordant note in any of the dispatches received. Scarcity of labor is the only serious complaint, output of coke being cur tailed, and there is delay in harvest ing crops, while strikes retard the building of San Francisco; but, on the other hand, a slight modification of the 1903 scale has brought back 8,000 more bituminous coal miners and the threatened struggle at 33 paper mills has been averted, while advanced wages brought full activity in the textile industry. Commodity prices are fairly steady, cheaper grain because of large crops being offset by strength in the leading materials of manufacture. It is not often that managers cf a leading industry are uneasy regarding the future because of too much busi ness, yet that is becoming the situ ation at iron furnaces and steel mills. Failures this week in the United States are 180, against 210 last week. Failures in Canada number 10, against 15 last week. Cloudburst Causes Great Damage. Reading, Pa. A terrific cloud burst struck the borough of Hamburg, this county, late Friday. A ten-foot flood s\Vept through the main portiou of the town, leaving in its wake ruin and devastation. There are washouts in the streets to the depth of ten feet. Allen J. Romig, who. was working in a tinsmith shop, was drowned. The tinsmith shop was swept away. More than 50 dwel lings were damaged. Many persons escaped drowning by rushing to the upper floors of their residences. The total loss will amount to more than $50,000. Flour Warehouse Burns. Albany, N. Y, —Fire on Friday practically destroyed the mammoth flour house owned by Henry Russell, of this city, the eastern distributing agent, for one of the largest Hour mills In the United States. The building was 1,900 feet long and 3o feet wide, with a capacity of 50,000 barrels. About 35,000 barrels of flour were de stroyed. Loss about $300,000. Two Killed in Explosion. Scranton, Pa. Jeremiah Wilson was killed and Charles Par rish fatally injured by an explosion in the North End Coal Co.'s colliery Friday. They had prepared a blast and lighting the fuse Started to re treat to a place of safety. They ran into a blast in an adjoining chamber. Death of Admiral Train. Che Foo. —Rear Admiral Charles J, Train, commander - in - chief of the United States Asiatic fleet, died at 9:10 Saturday morning, of uraemia. A BRIGHT PROSPECT. Leaders in the Iron Trade Speak with Less Reserve Concerning 1907 Iron Age Sums Up Condition of Market. New York.—The Iron Age says: Simultaneously with reports of a further access of strength in al. 1 the pig 'roil iuMki-tj of the country, •Tomes liie r-tatei'.ont of the United States Steel Corporation, showing the largest quarter's earnings in its his tory. Leaders in the trade now speak with less reserve concerning early 1907, after having for some time lim ited their predictions of good times to 1900. The volume of orders on the steel corporation's books on June 30, 0,809,589 tons, is the largest mid-year total it has been able to report. Pig iron has been the feature of the week's market. In the east the buy ing movement in basic iron that, was well under way a week ago carried the total purchases of the fortnight above 125,000 tons, some estimates reaching 1 r>o,ooo tons. The remark, aWe fact about it is that consumers provided for their needs for the bal ance of the year with an advance be tween the first and the laat buying of but 25 cents. Foundry iron markets arc advanc ing. Southern irons are 25 cents to r!0 cents higher. In the Buffalo dis trict a further advance cf 50 cents was made and eastern Pennsylvania makers have marked up their figures. Finished material markets show unusual mid-summer activity, distrib uted all along the line. At Chicago, railroads have entered large orders for track supplies. Rail buying for the week has been light. MINE EXPLOSION Causes the Dijath of TAO People In a Pennsylvania Town. Wilkesbarre, Pa.—A terrific explo sion occurred in the mine of the Warrior Run Coal Co. at Warrior Run, near here, Wednesday, and John Shu maker, a miner, was instantly killed. Through crevices formed in the sur face by the explosion the gas escaped from the workings below into the houses situated over the mine and, coming into contact with a lighted lamp in the home of John Wiliams, caused another explosion which re sulted in the death of his daughter, Margaret, aged 10 years. The settling of the earth also af fected the water mains of the village and as a consequence the home of Williams and an adjoining house were totally destroyed. The town was in total darkness, as tse escaping gas made the use of lights extremely haz ardous. Becoming Grave. Victoria, B. C. —Advices received by the Empress of Japan say the rising in Kiangai and Chekiang provinces is becoming a grave movement, and many believe the rising will assume similar propor tions to the Taiping rebellion. Hsin Cheng Hsien, a large walled city, was captured by the rebels and looted. A garrison of 5,000 was left to prepare the city to withstand a siege by im perial troops. Several corps of im perial troops have been dispatched. The Roman Catholic and the Protes tant churches yere destroyed and al though the native pastors escaped, six converts were murdered. Large bodies of disbanded soldiers are affiliated with the rebels. Cummins Nominated. Des Moines, la. Gov. Albert B. Cummins was nominated for re-election by the republican state convention in a harmonious session that belied all prognostications of a possible split in the state party over control for the head of the state ticket. A full state ticket was nomi nated, most of the candidates being nominated by acclamation. But One Higher. Denver, Col. —The Argentine Cen tral railroad, from Silver Plume, on the Colorado & Southern railroad, to the summit of Mount McClellan on Gray's Peak, was opened for traffic Wednesday. This road reaches a point 14,000 feet above the sea level and is the highest traction road in the world, with the exception of the Peru vian Central, in the Andes. Registration for Lands.
