Mr. Berry's Charges. Mr. Berry has seen flt to make var ious charges concerning the equipment of.the State Capitol. He has been re ferred by Oovernor Pennypacker to Attorney General Carson for an opin ion on the legal phases. The Attorney General, in answering Mr. Berry's let ter, winds up his reply asking for in formation in this manner: (f you are in the possession of any evidence whatever of fraud, dishonesty, graft, exces sive charges,imperfect material, surreptitious substitution of Inferior goods for that called for by the specifications, you will oblige me by communicating it to me at once.andl will take appropriate action. It seemß to us that this demand of the Attorney General is the whole crux of tfce situation. Mr. Berry has made charges. The Attorney General asks him to make these charges good, to produce sub stantial evidence, *o that an official in vestigation can be instituted. Until he does so, the Attorney General has noth ing whatever to go upon except sensa tional political speeches, says the Phil adelphia Inquirer. A year ago Mr. Berry was stumping the state with exaggerated ideas about the failure of a bank in Pittsburg. That bank was a political bank, so he de clared. That bank was a receiver of State money, placed there by a politi cal ''system," and the State was going to lose many hundreds of thousands of dollars. The Berry muck-rake was hauled over ever county in the Com monwealth. The passions of people were aroused to their highest pitch. Passion was appealed to until after the election, but long ago the people discovered that there was nothing in his charge; that the bank was not the product of a "system;" that politicians were not involved, and, furthermore, ttiat every dollar was easily collected by the State, because every dollar on deposit WUH .imply protected by bonds. A ye:»R HID Mr. Berry was appealing to the h.isr instinct of every man. Fol lowing t.tui most; highly approved plan of campaign of che Muck Raker, he was telling the citizens of Pennsylvania that they t.;.d '>een robbed; that mil lions had been stolen from the Treas ury; that if lie were only permitted to "life the lid," he would expose the ras cals to public scorn and punishment. What happened? He was elected. He "lifted the lid" and found—what? Millions missing ? Far from it. He found every penny intact. Not one cent had been stolen or misused. It was all there—ALL there—and a splendid surplus besides. The State was out of debt. It had money which can be ap propriated |k> the public schools and to tlje building of good roads. Vow we have the same Berry in an other campaign, continuing the same methods of exaggeration. This time the people feave been robbed through the building of the Capitol. Under law, a Hoard of Public Grounds and Build »gs was constituted, headed by the overnor, to furnish the Capitol. Gov ernor Pennypacker has given his best thought to the work. So for as it ap pears on the surface, the law lias been complied with. The plans were open for inspection. Proposals were widely advertised. Contracts were awarded on Che bids received. But Mr Berry declares that the board went beyond its lawful limits in what he terms "completing" the building. That is his first important charge, and he figures up something like three mil lion Hollars of illegality. Mr. Berry is not competent to pass upon such a matter. It is not to be presumed that Governor Pennypacker, himself a lawyer of many years' prac tice and subsequently an honored judge upon the bench of the Court of' Co mmon Pleas, could be led in doing any thing illegal. But the Muck Raker must have his day. Perfectly reckless in his campaign charges of last year, since proved to be wholly false from beginning to end, Mr. Berry's cam paign opinion of the course of so emi nent a jurist as Governor Pennypacker unquestionably is cannot be accepted off hand. This question of illegality will be passed upon by the Attorney General, and until it has been the reit eration of tliis charge by Mr. Berry must be considered as unfair in the ex treme and as the mere resort of the tricky partisan politician. The other charge is extravagance. Mind you, even Mr, Berry does not dare assail the Governor and the mem- i bers of the board with benefitting to the extent of one penny. But he says ' there has been extravagance and some- j one has got graft If Mr. Berry fur- j nishes a bathroom in his own house, ! places in it a new tub,tiles his floor and ! makes extensive alterations he can go . out in the street and bring in twenty j men who did not get the contract who , will say that he was robbed. That is ] common experience. It is easy togo j around the State and deliver impas- j sioned speeches from the platforms and ; claim all sorts of things, but'what Mr. ; Berry must show is precisely this: Mas | there been collusion, actual fraud? ! Last year we had charges of tremen dous thievery from the lips of Mr. Berry. He failed in every respect to prove himself to be anything but an irresponsible harauguer of the multi tudes. Now we submit to the people that the proper thing for him to do is togo directly to the Attorney General, who asks for his proofs, and give them; or, if he has evidence, to proceed in court. The political hustings is not the proper place to try charges. He has referred the matter to the Attorney General for an opinion and the Attorney General asks him to pro duce his facts. This he must do It is plain why Mr. Berry lias taken j to the stump instead of to the ; courts. He lound that sensation was a paying political investment last year, i lie is but acting on his experience of i last year. He saw that the cause of j Emery was done for unless something could be brought to the front to divert the attention of the people from the real issues of the campaign. Emery's reform pretensions had been shown to be nothing but shams. The eight Dem ocratic Congressmen promised Bryan were not showing up The Democratic cause was languishing. So he takes the , sensational way of appealing to pas sion, hoping that before there can be an investigation he will be able,through his charges, to turn Pennsylvania over to Emery and Bryan. If there has been any uuderhand work in any direction the facts will all be produced in perfect order and officially. Edwin S. Stuart, whose word has never been doubted-except by muck rakers is pledged in this language: "If elected Governor I promise you, fully realizing the responsibilities rest ing upon me, that I will see that a thorough investigation shall be made of the entire question, and if such in vestigation discloses that any man or set of men have been guilty of wrong doing in the abuse of their trnst, or guilty of fraud or illegal profit in the furnishing of supplies, they shall meet with the punishment they surely, under such circumstances, would justly de serve." This whole Capitol matter, under Governor Stuart, will be handled abso lutely in the interests of the people. The people are entirely safe in the hands of Stuart. There is no reason, then, why Pennsylvania should be handed over to the Democracy, eager to elect Bryan President, in order that all the facts shall be made known. The Capitol is not the issue. The principles of Roosevelt, the policy of the National administration—that is the issue as op posed to the policies of Bryan. "I cannot and will not stand up on a platform that before my elec tion promises reforms and then have the party to which I belong fail afterward to enaot the neces sary legislation, for if such failure could possibly occur, I would in stantly and without reservation take the people into my confidence and tell them frankly and emphat ically exactly who is responsible for the failure to carry out such promises, and place the responsi bility where it belongs, so that the people could deal with them as they saw fit."—Edwin S. Stuart. Deafness Cannot be Cured. By local applications, as they can not reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional' remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lin ing of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbl ing sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restor ed to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused bv Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness caused by catarrh that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars free. F. J. CHENEY & Co., Toledo, O.

CAMERON COUNTY PRKSS, THURSDAY, OCTOBEP iB, 1906. mrasrciM Demands That Emery and Rltclt Shall Meet Charges- SCATHING REVIEW OF RECORDS Prohibition Leader's Hot Shot Directe-j at Democratic Nominees For Gov ernoi" and Lieutenant Governor. Dr. S. C. Swallow does not propose that Lewis Emery, Jr., the Democratic candidate for Governor, shall be per mitted to lonr> r ignore »he charges that have b n made from time to time ! upon the stump by himself and Homer L. Castle, the Prohibition nominee for Governor. He lias reiterated these charges in ] another demand that Emery meet each j and every one of them, and he says ! that he will persist in that direction j until Emery shall be heard from .sp»- cifii ally upon each of these allega- j tions. In a formal statement, to the public, Dr. Swallow, among other things, says: Facts Established. In these two months' fight the foi . -;ng facts have been pretty thor oughly established: That our party ran a narrow chance of becoming forever disgraced and its existence endangered by accepting Lewis Emery as its candidate; but for tunately discovered his true character in time to reject him. That this has been and is destined to continue the dirtiest campaign in the history of the state, owing to tho character of the man who is seeking promotion under the false pretense of being a reformer. That ho admits being interested in breweries; that he contributes to them as to churches, schools and hospitals; that he furnishes intoxicants to his family and his guests; that he drinks and treats at public bars; that his son is secretary and treasury of a brewery, and that the Elk county halls, who are largely interested in breweries, wers the strongest factors in securing his nomination. Nor has he yet denied the allegation of several newspaper men that he was incoherently drunk in Philadelphia on the night of th« Lincoln convention that nominated him, and was put to bed by his friend! to prevent futrehr disgrace and scan dal. A fact admitted to at least two witnesses at two different times by the Hon. Charles Emory Smith, editor of the Philadelphia Press, both edito? and paper now fervently supporting Mr. Emery for Governor. Emery's Oil Company. It has been further established that Emery's oil company made, used and forged oil-barrel stamps, thua cheating the state out of many thon-' sands of dollars and endangering th< lives of oil consumers by palming ofl on them oil at 110 and 130 firs test that should have registered 150. That at a time when it could have been prevented, there was admitted tc partnership in Mr. Emery's oil busi ness representatives of the Standard Oil Company, and that be thus becam« "cheek by Jowl" with the Durhams, Macks, Murphys and McNlchols, whom he affects to politically despise and to be fighting; just as he boasts of fight ing Quay for 20 years, but also boasted in his Harrlsburg speech that "wt were good friends all that time." II was a sham battle for revenue only, as is his fight with the Standard Oil Company. He admits selling his oil in Germany at six cents or eight cents a gallon at a profit, and compels Pennsyl vanians to pay 10 cents a gallon, thui following Standard Oil prices Instead of competing with them. He said is a speech a night or two ago that Rock efeller would make a subscription to a church and advance the price of oil a penny a gallon with which to paj the subscription. Now, while no one pretends to de fend John D. and his methods, yet does not Mr. Emery make subscriptions td breweries and advance the price of oil I with which to pay his subscription! He boasted at York of being rich. Did he not secure it largely by building oil refineries in pretense of competing with the Standard, only to voluntarily and repeatedly sell to them at enor mous profits, leaving small individual operators who had tied to him whollj at the mercy of the merciless Standard octopus? Secret Understanding. And now there is accumulating evl dence that there is a secret under standing with certain of the Standard Oil company representatives in th« Emery Oil company that Mr. Emerj should U3e the Standard as a "bogy' with which to frighten voters intc electing him, while the Standard rep resentatives in Emery'-s company arl pledged that when once elected, theii Governor shall co-operate with tha: great public robber in further humil iating the people. It has been proven from the lc?is lative record that Mr. Emery is no> a friend of labor, as is shown by hit vote both in the house and the s nati against an eight-hour law and ablins, the establishment of hospitals for -nil ers and laborers. It has become apparent from eir culars sent out by the Anti-Sumf.hiar] Leageti that not only the liquor lor e< of Pennsylvania, but oi' the whol ■ r-.tin try are focusing their funds in till! campaign for the election oi' and Black. The league argues < ' :it thi Prohibition party and sentimen' mu.'V be destroyed by destroying Castle an: that this best, be done in iae elc.! tion oi !•; That he is a sat' mai for (heir !u - ••rests*: that his . ~::t tal to local op-ion hi based or. it ■ I; in his own language "cqttitab! " >ni that in private conversation he hat ' declared that it would be lniultout to permit the people to vote out 1 business whose owners have propert; I rights, established and fostered by thi license laws. The circular furthei argues that if in an emergency th< local option bill is passed and Rmer! is forced by liis Lincoln constituent! to sign it the league can easily defea it at the polls. There is no doubt o their ability to do so. since the blooi money of the whole nation would flov to the Keystone state in such a COB test. Capt Barclay has been a resident of the Keystone state for sixty-one years and ail important factor in the de velopement of the district's resources. He is thoroughly familiar with the needs and requirements of the 21st dis trict and he will know how to best rep resent its people in Congress. An Elk County Man's Success. The many friends of E. J. Jones, Esq., formerly a practicing attorney at St. Marys, this county, but lor a few years past a member of the law firm of Tait & Jones at Bradford, is getting along swimmingly in his new homo and business location. The firm are so licitors for the Pittsburg, Sliawmutand Northern Railroad Company and some other large corporations, that pay them handsomely and have a good private practice besides. When the editor of this paper was in Bradford Thursday evening, ho was convinced by talking with a number of prominent citizens that Mr. Jones has attained a fine standing in Bradford not only as a law yer, but also as a citizen and a Repub lican. In fact, it is admitted on the quiet, that Mr. Jones was offered the Republican nomination for assembly this year in McKean county, but he could not afford to accept on account of his large practice. The fact that Mr. Jones was made chairman of the Re publican meeting at Bradford on such a marked occasion as the visit of the state candidates is an evidence that the people of that city hold him in high esteem and have a fitting regard for his ability. We print these facts simply because we feel that the many Elk county people who are friends of Mr. Jones will be glad to learn that his merit is being so well recognized in his new home in the few years he has been there.—Ridgway Advocate.
