Woman, having »c oilier moans at her disposal for vanquishing and at taching men to hoi chariot-wheels, lias for many long centuries had to re ly entirely on coquetry. It is not as tonishing, therefore, that this weapon is deeply ingrained in the feminine soul— has become, in fact, an instinct at once conscious and involuntary— and that it now constitutes one of woman's most fundamental character* istics. —The Grand Magazine. Country's Real Backbone, Trade increases the wealth and glory of a country; but its real strength and stamina are to be looked for among the cultivators of the land. In their simplicity of life is found the simpleness of virtue —the integ rity and courage of freedom. Those true genuine sons of the earth are invincible; and they surround and hem in the mercantile bodies, even if these, bodies could be supposed disaffected to the cause of liberty. Flowers Made of Butter. A basket of roses, made completely of butter, basket and all, is being ex hibited through England by the gov ernment of Victoria, one of the states in Australia, to remind the mother country of the great agricultural wealth that, abounds there, says Popu lar .Mechanics. Over $i5,u00,000 worth of butter is now sent annually from Victoria to England. Causes of "yphoid. Typhoid is now known to spring from a variety of sources, and Dr. Sea ton, a British health officer, doubts whether ten per cent, of eases can bo attributed to infected drinking water. Polluted food seems to be a common cause, and eases of doubtful origin have suggested that other germs be sides the so-called typhoid bacilli may produce the disease. New Kindergarten Method. Kindergarten methods of educating young children have always been a pronounced success. Recently a new phase of the system was invented and put into effect by a Belgian lady, Mme. Pecher. She teaches young children by dolls, representing personages and scenes in European history, arranged in order of time, from the earliest dates. The plan works excellently. Possibilities in Everyone. Brother, thou hast possibilities in Ihee for much —the possibility of writ ing on the eternal skies the record of a heroic life.

Why animal charcoal removes the color from colored licpiids while wood charcoal has no effect has not been un derstood.

Prominent Republican Organ Declares Subject of Revision Will Be Dealt with by Legislators Elected by the People. In the senate a few days ago Mr. Beveridge explained his bill for a tariff commission clearly and forcibly. The ' importance of the tariff question is beyond dispute, and a revision of the tariff always calls l'or a great deal of information not easily collected. What Mr. Beveridge has in mind is the col lection of this information by men entirely competent for the task, so that when congress takes up the sub ject of revision the work may be per formed the more speedily. The opponents of the measure rest their case largely upon the contention that the work can be done now, as in the past 20 years it lias several times been done, without the aid of a com mission. A commission appointed by this congress would report to the next; but that congress, it is suggested, will insist upon an examination of the whole subject by and for itself. It will be responsible to the country for what ever changes may be made in the tariff, and consequently it will consent to act only upon data of its own as certainment and approval. Time is an element in the matter, and we may consider how much time nuiy be devoted to the collection of the necessary information if, as is likely, Mr. Beveridge's bill fails to pass. We may assume that both parties this year will declare for revision, and the Republican party at least, will probably declare for doing the work at an extra session of the Sixty-first congress. 11' the Republicans win in November, that will be notice that in April, at furthest, work on tariff revision will begin. Between November election day and April—some five months —all interests affected will be employed putting statistics in order for presen tation to the body charged with the duty of making the new law. And in five months much may be done. With this information, therefore —not pre pared by official experts, with commis sions from the previous congress, but by the business interests to be af fected by the changes made, and themselves at the call of congress for explanations and elaborations — congress should move quite rapidly and in a few months be through. Mid summer of next year should see the new law signed, sealed and delivered. Of one thing wo may all be sure. The tariff is not to be taken out of politics. It is there to stay. As it was in the beginning, it is now, and ever shall be. Protection, for its own sake, and free trade will continue as cries dividing voters at the polls.— Washington Star. Poor Party Circulation. Mr. Bryan is "not prepared to say for a few months yet whether" he stands "for the Democratic party or not." Ordinarily as between the man and the mule, it is a question of whether or not the mule will stand for the man. Hut these are degenerate days. That the ass should become so feeble he can progress only upon the back of the man and that the man should so far lose his self-re spect that he compels the ass to mount him are signs of poor circula tion in the body politic.—New York Evening Sun. The Aldrich Bill. The Aldrich bili is being criticised from all sides. It is not likely that any alternative bill would escape sim ilar treatment. But a solution for the problem must lie found, and found at this session of congress, while the memory of the panic is vivid and the pressure for relief and preventive leg islation strong and universal. We have escaped disaster without the help of congress, but now congress must do what it can to prevent future panics and crises. CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, MARCH 5, 1908. AS TO BRYAN POLICIES. Claims of Nebrask-a Man Without j Foundation in Fact. In connection with the declaration of Mr. Bryan that lie is content to fur nish policies for the president it is pertinent to recall a few of the policies of the Nebraskan that have not been accepted by Mr. Roosevelt or any other exponent of Republican policies. The recent speech of Gov. liiighes served to emphasize some of these, in reciting his adherence to the con structive policies of Republicanism the New York governor laid special stress upon the perilous time of lS9fi, when j his party rallied the country to the i support of an honest currency, lie j also reminded liis hearers that it would have been a cowardly act fbr the nation to have abandoned the Phil ippines to their fate without first pre paring them for self-government. We have pointed out on various oc casions the fallacy of the claims of Bryan, Watson and others of the popo < ratio tribe to authorship of the poli cies of the administration. Hut for the moment we may dwell upon the "para mount" issues of two Bryan campaigns to indicate, as Gov. Hughes did, the di vergence of the Republican and Dem ocratic parties. Mr. Roosevelt has never shown anything but contempt for the policies on which Bryan fought his campaigns. if the Nebraska leader desires to be understood as having suggested the Roosevelt policies since his defeat in 1900 we must still demur. There is a world of difference between public ownership of railroads and govern mental regulation thereof. There is just as wide difference between anni hilation of the "trusts" and the effort to simply control their rapacity. If Mr. Bryan is content to tag 011 after an administration's policies after they have been adopted we are certain no one will object. The objections to his candidacies, now and in past years, have been concerned with his radical and monstrous departures from ration al finance and the individualistic sys tem. Mr. Bryan's Paramount Issue for 1908. At the Lincoln dollar dinner Mr. Bryan pointed out how the work of the convention at Denver could be simpli fied if it decided to nominate him for president, as he expects it will do: "The most far-reaching, the para mount issue is not. the tariff, railroads, labor or money; but, Shall this gov ernment be run for the people by the people, not by the few for the few? - ' In 1896 the free coinage of silver was the paramount issue, and in 1900 anti-imperialism, but neither elected Mr. Bryan. We see in his new pro posal a conviction that the platform makers scattered their lire even in 1900, when imperialism was particu larly designated as the paramount is sue; there were many planks, it was only one. and now Mr. Bryan allows it was a failure. If he can run on the platform of his choice in 1908 it need consist of only one plank, an omnibus plank, a merger plank: "We believe that the government should be run for the people by the people, not by the few for the few." Government ownership, the initiative and refer endum, and all the other beliefs which Mr. Bryan shares in common with the Populists and Socialists would be im plied. With Mr. Bryan making a campaign on this concise plank of his own com position and without a campaign fund, for fear it might contain tainted money, the Democratic party would have a complete and exhaustive dem onstration of Mr. Bryan's strength as a popular leader. In the following February the electoral votes would be counted, a ceremony which would have little interest for the Democratic party. Little Left for Democrats. After some deliberation members ol the Democratic party have decided tc make their fight upon the tariff ques tion. The party will surely have « little trouble selecting some question upon which there is possibility of dif fercnce ol' opinion. The present ad ministration Ijas appropriated near!, all (he obviously popular and practico theories in sight. ER.IDLEY IS CHOSEN SENATOR LONG DEADLOCK IN KENTUCKY LEGISLATURE IS BROKEN. Four Democrats Who Had 1 Steadfastly Refused to Support Beckham at Last Voted for Bradley and Elected Him. Frankfort, Ky. Amid a scene of the wildest excitement ex-Gov. William Bradley, Republican, was on Friday elected United States senator to succeed James B. McCreary. Brad ley's term of six years will begin on March 4, 1909. lie received t>4 votes, four of which were cast by Democrats opposed to ex-Gov. Beckham, leading Democratic candidate for senator, who was endorsed for the office at the state primaries. Senators H. S. McNutt, Albert Charl ton and Representative Chris .Mueller, of Louisville, and Representative Lil ian!, of Boyle county, were the Dem ocrats who voted for Bradley. Until yesterday they had voted for various Democrats for senator, but after vot ing for Bradley they refused to recall their votes and unite with Beckham's supporters on some Democrat other than Beckham. As there were 126 members of the two houses voting in the joint session, the speaker finally declared Bradley elected, having a ma jority of those present. The completion of Friday's iirst roll call iu joint session showed: Bradley 04, Beckham 60, Blackburn J, James 1. Before the speaker could announce the result the Democrats obtained a re capitulation and attempted to break the quorum by leaving tho hall, but j they soon came back, accompanied by Beckham, who authorized the with drawal of his name and released the Democrats from the primary nomina tion pledge to him in hope that some other Democrat could be elected if the four bolting Democrats could be per suaded to change their votes. These four men were surrounded by party friends and urged to withdraw their support from Bradley and re-elect Sen ator James McCreary, or any Democrat they might name, but the four men declared that the proposal came too late. Representative Lillard was the only one cf the four Democrats to explain his vote for Bradley. He said he I thought the time had come to "throw j off party shackles and to break up the machine" and, although he did sup port the Democratic ticket for 40 ;. -ars, he believed his vote for Bradley "was the best Democratic vote he ever cast." Balloting for senator began on Jan uary 15 and a ballot was taken every day thereafter 'when a quorum was had The deciding ballot was the twenty-ninth. In a speech accepting hi?! election Mr. Bradley promised to use every ef fort. as senator to procure the repeal of the six-cent tax on tobacco. THE NATIONAL LAWMAKERS. Proceedings of the Senate and House of Representatives. Washington.—ln the house on the 25th political speeches and talks on the financial condition of the country were made, the army appropriation bill being nominally under considera. tion. The feature of the senate's ses sion was a speech by Senator Owen, of Oklahoma, in opposition to the Aid rich currency bill. Washington. Senators Culberson and Nelson spoke in criticism of the Aldrich currency bill in the senate on the 2Gth. The bill to revise the crim inal laws of the United States was passed. In the house Mr. Dalzeil (Pa.) deliered a long speech in defense of the Republican party and its policies. Washington.—There was a lively de bate In the senate on the 27th be tween Senators Owen, of Oklahoma, and Curtis, of Kansas, both of whom have Indian blood in their veins, over certain portions of the Indian appro priation bill. The house debated the army appropriation bill and the pro vision for increased pay for non-com missioned oflicers and privates was stricken out. Washington.—ln the house on the 28th the provision that had been stricken out of the army appropria tion bill, to increase the pay of non commissioned officers and privates, was restored. The senate passed the Indian appropriation bill and Senator Smoot delivered a long speech on the currency bill, after which the senate adjourned until March 2. BUSINESS BULLETIN. Trade Is Dull in All Lines, but the Steel Business Shows the Most Improvement. New York City.—R. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says: Business holds the ground recently recovered from the point of greatest depression, but. reports of further prog ress are sporadic. Geographically, the best news is received from the west and south and more idle machinery has resumed at the steel mills than in any other leading industry. Manufacturers find orders scarce and there is much complaint of high prices, while in jobbing and wholesale de partments the large attendance of country merchants is not accompanied by the customary volume of business. Dealers operate most conservatively, providing only for urgent needs, but low stocks must eventually produce activity in all departments. Consider ing the storms anil holidays, February compares very favorably with the month preceding. The Conference Was a Failure. Indianapolis, Ind. —The joint com mittee of coal miners and opera tors of western Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois has adjourned sine die, without reaching an agreement on the proposal to call a joint convention to re-establish the inter-state agree ment and fix a new wage scale.
