A minister in North Carolina re fuses to curtail the length of his ser mons at the request of his congrega tion. Probably he believes that those who want short sermons are the most in need of long ones. After all, Kngland seems to have adopted the phonetic spelling. The British Medical Journal says that the following words have been officially registered as designations of whisky: 44 Cracyuistobelleditionment," "Aga phyon," "Sempermickelment" aud "okabi igdantyfuge." The empress of China has already ennobled an Englishman and made his ancestors for nine generations man darins of the highest rank. Here is an opportunity, says the Louisville Courier-Journal, for members of the American snobocracy to secure vigor ous and deep-rooted family trees. Those people must be "kidding" ■who say that Capt. Kidd buried treas ures on Deer island. As the money found secreted in the earth there was minted a hundred years or more after the pirate's death, he would have to he as immortal as the veritable Fly ing Dutchman to have concealed coin of the nineteenth century on the piece of land near Shirley Gut. The most popular novelist among the girls of the British empire, ac cording to a recent investigation con ducted through libraries and book stores, is Henry Seton Merriman, and the most popular poet is Tennyson. "Alice in Wonderland" ia more read in the llrltish colonies than in the mother country, and boys books are as interesting to the girls as books written for girls alone. Post office receipts reflect quite ac curately the growth of business and population. The receipts for the fiscal year which closed June 30, 1900, were larger by more than $15,000,000 than during the preceding year. This is the largest increase for any year in the history of the service. The excess of expenditures over receipts was about $10,500,000, which was $4,000,- 000 less than in 1905. The American marine continues to win good opinions, wherever his serv ices are utilized as a fighting man or in more peaceful fashion. He was among the first togo to the defense of law and order in Cuba, and now come reports showing that when the cyclone swept over the island Amer ican marines went gallantly to the rescue and accomplished much work in saving life and property. It has oome to be a proverb that Uncle Sam's marines are the most "depend able" of their kind, no matter what the duty required. Kansas has a new rule, drawn by the state board of health, which is an interesting contribution to the solu tion of the pure food problem. "The sale at retail within the state of Kan sas for human food of any domestic or wild fowl or game or fish that has been kept in cold storage with en trails, crops and other offensive parts undrawn is prohibited. The service for food of any such domestic or wild fowl or game or fish is also prohibit ed.-" With each state lies the respon sibility of protecting its people against impure food produced and consumed within the state, and many of the states are waking to their responsi bility. And Papa Zimmerman "objects to spending any more money on the pal ace of the duke and duchess of Man chester. There's the deuce to pay with about all the splendiferous inter national marriages. A Yale professor says the present method of spelling is not scholarship, but solecism, which makes it very much worse than we'thought. Somebody has Invented a phono graph that can be heard a mile.

He has never learned the more re fined process of co-nering food sup plies and raising prices for the purpose of securing a satisfactory income. Consuelo paid a big Income to get a duke; now she pays a big income to get rid of him. it costs us a pretty penny to be rid of both of them, but it is almost worth it.

Under Republican Control Our Indus trial and Agricultural Outputs Show an Enormous Gain Over the Demo cratic Period of Ten Years Ago. With four of the best export months of this calendar year, including Sep tember, in front of us, the record is $1,098,994,662 worth of exports to our credit, up to August 31 last. This is the largest corresponding eight months' export business we ever had. Here is the record of these periods, beginning with that of 1901, the year following President McKinley's sec ond election on the 1900 Republican platform, which platform, as did also that of 1904, reaffirmed the principles of a full protective tariff protection, alike to American labor and American capital, sound money, necessary ex pansion, retention of all territory ac quired and all the other Republican policies on which the nine years' pros perity of our country has arisen, and by which alone that prosperity can be retained, continued and increased: Exports Elcht (Bureau of Months.

Or, to put it another way: Our exports this eight months equal those of 1903, eight months, with its gain of $57,000,000 over 1902, eight months, and $220,000,000 more in all, a gain of $277,000,000; or, further, they equaled those of 1905, eight months, with its gain of $115,000,000 over 1904, eight months, and $132,000,- 000 more, or a total gain of $247,000 in 1906, eight months, over the eight months of only two years previously. No matter which way you figure our exports in the full Republican protective years, 1898 to 190G, it's gain, gain, gain, over anything of that kind which can be shown in Democratic years. The last four full Democratic fiscal years were 1894 to 1897, inclusive. In those years our exports were as fol lows in round millions of gold dollars, not the 16 to 1 silver dollars they pro posed in 189G, but dollars each one of which will buy for the Amerilcan wage-earner 100 cents' worth of com modities: 1904 $ 892,000,000 1895 807,000,000 lS9<i ' 882,000,000 1897 '/« 1,050,000,000 Yearly average.

In other words, we did it in one-third less time, with four gains of $19,000,000 each, or in all, $76,000,000 clear gain. But what have exports to do with the Republican full protective tariff, say some. Just this: If our factories were not going at full bKst because of our great home marko". being pre served to them, thus producing goods in much larger quantities, we should net have a surplus of manufactured goods available for export, and if our farmers were not encouraged by the great home demand in a market also protected to them they would not cul tivate so much land and would not produce so much cotton and other land products, leaving less available for export than they now have, year after year; and if our exporters were not sure, as they are, that these in creased productions would be availa ble for export when wanted they would not goto the expense of send ing sales agents abroad, foreign orders for American goods and products would not be forthcoming, and our ex ports wtmld fall back to what they were in Democratic low tariff days. American exports under Republican control and policies are one-third greater than under Democratic con trol and policies, with $19,000,000 each eight months to spare, consequently factory outputs and factory wage dis bursements are also more than one third greater while Republican con gressmen control the house. The One Great Weakness. The one great weakness of the Dem ocracy, the one strong hope of the Republicans, is that the Democrats will not abandon their futile conten tion for "a tariff for revenue only," that in their lexicon spells "robbery." The realization of that dream is fur ther off to-day than it has ever seemed to be since the Republican party was born, nor will it be brought an hour nearer by tying up legislation be tween a Democratic house and a Re publican senate in the sixtieth con gress.—Washington Post. CAMERON COUNTY PRESS. THURSDAY NOVEMBER 29, 1906. STORY WITH A MORAL. Effective Truth That Has Been Worth Many Speeches. Those people who are so concerned about the high cost of living and the prices demanded by so-called "trusts" can read the following with no little interest and a considerable amount of instruction. John L. Moorman, of Knox, Republican district chairman for the Thirteenth Indiana congres sional district, said recently: "We are having few speeches in the Thirteenth district. About all we are doing up there is to tell one story, and it seems to do the work better than speeches. Listen! long ago a farmer in Nebraska, Bryan's state, went to a buggy dealer to buy a bug gy. He found one that suited him, and the price was $62. The farmer happened to remember that about a dozen years ago he had bought a buggy just like it from the same deal er for $55, and he mentioned the fact. The dealer went to his books and found this to be true. 'But,' said the dealer, 'my books show that you did not pay cash for it, because you did not have the money. You hauled in 500 bushels of corn and gave it to me for the $55 buggy. Now, I tell you what I will do. If you are willing to bring me now 500 bushels of corn I will give you the $62 buggy, a self binder worth $125, a sulky plow worth $35 and a walking plow worth sl2. In addition to this I will hand you sl6 in money.' The dealer could have car ried out the proposition, too, for corn is worth 50 cents a bushel now, while at that time it was worth only 11 cents." About the same time that thia farm er wan buying a buggy for $55 an 1 paying for it with 500 btiolielrj of torn at 11 cents a bushel other farmers ia Nebraska were selling spring lambs to the butchers for two dollars apiece; while full grown sheep were sold in Ohio for 50 cents a head. Now the Nebraska farmer gets 50 cents for his corn and seven dollars for his lamb, and sheep in Ohio sell at $3.50 to $4. Not only that; the value of farm lands in the United States has in creased over six billion dollars sine* 1900, and they were in 1900 worth fully six billions more than in 1895. The farmers are all stand-patters on the tariff, and they know the reason why. Dishonest Reciprocity. The Sacramento Bee says "there is no honest Republican opposition to reciprocity such as does not involve surrender of the principle of genuine protection to American labor." No one denies this, but there is honest opposition to that kind of reciprocity which proposes to sacrifice an Ameri can industry deserving of protection for the purpose of enabling another industry to extend its trade abroad. That is the peculiarity of nearly every reciprocity programme. They all em brace the idea of sacrificing the other fellow's protection for the purpose of advancing some other fellow's inter est. The Chronicle regards as posi tively dishonest the attempts to strike at California wines in order that some one may sell a few more dollars' worth of some eastern manufactured product, and it rejects the assumption that it is protection to look after the interests of the spinners and weavers of cotton and to ignore those of the wool grower. As a matter of fact, the trusts complained of by our contem porary are the ones displaying the most eagerness for reciprocity treat ies. The people do not demand them because they know that no reciprocity treaty is necessary to admit goods which do not come in competition with American products, because com modities of that kind are all on the free list. —San Francisco Chronicle. WHERE HE STANDS PAT. Farmers Are Not Fools. The farmers of the middle west have been appealed to directly to fa vor Canadian reciprocity, and the ad vocates of that policy have felt com pelled to present some argument which should beguile the farmer into consenting to such procedure. And what was this argument? It was to the effect that they should willingly permit the farm products of Canada to come into competition with their own in order that a larger market for American farm products might be provided down east. The farmers of lowa, Illinois, Wis consin, Minnesota, South Dakota, Ne braska and other middle states are not fools. They understand the situ ation exactly; they know that in this agitation for Canadian reciprocity they are to he made the victims of every arrangement that is contemplat ed, and for that reason they aro op posed to it in toto and to a man,— Cedar Rapids Republican. A LONG LIST Of Disasters on the Great Lakes. MANY LIVES LOST. Gales Proved Quite Destructive to Shipping on Lakes Erie, On tario and Superior. Toronto, Ont.—Early on Thurs day morning the steam barge Resolution, from Erie, Fa., to To ronto, "sprang a leak in the heavy seas just outside the harbor here aud sank. The crew under the command of Capt. Sullivan put off in two boats. One containing five people reached the shore safely, while the second was swamped, her six occupants being drowned. They were: John Harrison, Deseronto, chief en gineer. Thomas Toppin, Desreonto, assist ant engineer. Dave White, Prescott, deck hand. Harry Gregory, Port Colborne, fire man. John Burns, Port Colborne. Nelson. Christiania, Norway. Sandusky, O. —The barge Athens, In tow of the steamer Pascal P. Pratt, went down in Lake Erie in the storm Wednesday night. The cap tain and six men of ttie crow tveio probably drowned. Capt. George Mockie, of Milwaukee, was in command of the barge. He had sailed on the lake for 40 years. The Pratt and the Athens were ! bound from Escanaba to Buffalo with | iron ore. The storm struck them when about 20 miles north of Southeast shoal, ! west of here. Soon after the storm | struck the vessel the tow line parted, i The Pratt was able to ride the storm, j but the Athens soon foundered. Detroit, Mich.—The Anchor line I package freight steamer Conemaugh, ! upbound with a valuable cargo of | package freight, is ashore on Point j Pelee in Lake Erie, pounding hard and ! filled with water. The Conemaugh went on the point during the gale. The crew of 22 men were rescued in safety by the life saving crew at Point Pelee. The steamer may be a total loss. The steel steamer Chauncey Hurl but, bound for Buffalo, was blown out of her course on Lake Erie Wednes day night by the terrific gale, and is aground off Leamington. She is re ported to he undamaged and in no danger, although it will be necessary td lighter part of the cargo before the steamer can be released. Marquette, Mich.—With her rud der gone and her upper works washed away, the steamer Panama, of the Davidson fleet, was found beached Thursday on Mineral Reef Point, 14 miles west of Ontonagon. The wreck lies on an uninhabited stretch of coast, the nearest settlement being Iron River, many miles away. The crew are safe. ATTACKS BUCKEYE PIPE LINE CO. Ohio's Attorney General Begins Pro ceedings Against One of the Stand ard Oil Co.'s Auxiliaries. Findlay, O.—The Buckeye Pipe Line Co. was made the defendant in a sUit filed in the circuit court late Thursday afternoon by William L. David, prosecuting attorney of Han cock county, and George H. Phelps, who had just returned from the attor ney general's office. The state of Ohio is the plaintiff. The petition alleges that the Buckeye Pipe Line Co. is or ganized under the laws of Ohio with a capital stock of $10,000,000. and is em powered to transport and store pe troleum by means of pipes. The petition charges that ever since its organization in 18S6 it has been a mqnber of an illegal trust or combina tion known as the Standard Oil trust. It operates in six counties in north western Ohio and charges 20 cents per barrel for the transportation of oil any distance. Such charges, it is said, are only nominal and they are imposed to prevent others from availing them selves of such facilities. The charges are alleged to be wholly disproportion ate to the services rendered. It is stated to be the duty of the de fendant as a common carrier to afford the public equal facilities for use of its pipe lines and that the charges should not be more than one-eighth of 1 per cent. Plaintiff prays for a writ of man damus to issue out of the circuit court and that the defendant provide for the public equal and just facilities and transportation in Ohio and fix a sched ule of rates. The petition is signed by Wade H. Ellis, attorney general. Vote to Strike. Fall River, Mass.—The five unions of cotton mill operatives at spe cial meetings last night voted by large majorities to reject an offer of 5 per cent, advance in wages and togo out on strike next Monday unless the de mand for a 10 per cent, increase is granted before that time. The Third Victim Dies. New York.—Helen Lambert, the actress who was injured in the automobile collision in Central park in which Tom Cooper lost his life, died Thursday of her inujries.

New York. —Judge Holt, of the United States circuit court, on Thursday fined the New York Cen tral & Hudson River Railroad Co. $lB,- 000 for rebating freight charges to the American Sugar Refining Co. THE STUPIDITY OF MAN. "Pa," said Mrs. Cutesby, "I'm going to invite a lot of company in next Thursday night to celebrate our sil ver wedding. "Silver? What are you talkln' about? The silver weddin's when peo ple have been married 25 years, ain't It?" "Yes. We've never celebrated any of the anniversaries of our wedding, and we may as well begin with this one." "But, great Scott, ma, we've been married thirt —" "Now, never mind that, Pa Catesby. we are going to celebrate our silver wedding anniversary next Thursday night.

"Mr. Doddington!" she asked, turn . Ing to appeal to the little man who sat drinking with her husband. "Don't | you think that a little meat from time to time is really necessary to every j one?" The little man paused. "In my opinion, Mrs. Golightly," said he, "a little food of any kind now and then does no particular harm." Cause For Alarm. "Maria," said Mr. Hilliams, "what ails this roast?" "Never mind the roast, dear," said Mrs. Hilliams. "I'm more concerned to know what ails you. This is the first tiue for 25 years that you haven't been able to tell exactly what ailed the roast and everything else on the table. Aren't you well to-day, John?"— Ch icago Tribune. Interests a Waiter. "The pleasures of the intellectual are all lost on the uneducated," re marked the philosopher at the ban quet. "How, for instance, could that waiter over there be interested in 'evolution?'" "Easiest thing in the world," said his friend, facetiously; "'evolution' means 'change.' " —Detroit Free Press.
