The most northerly point of land known is Cape Morris Jesup on an island north of Greenland. It was discovered by Commander Peary in 1900, and named after the president of the Peary Arctic club, Morris K. Jesup, who has lately died. Mr. Jesup was one of the most liberal patrons of rcience, ari and exploration of his time. He not only gave generously to the cause of arctic exploration, but provided the money for many scien tific expeditions organized tr> study antiquities in various parts of the world. He will be known for these things to a limited number for a few years, but every schoolboy will pro nounce his name for no one knows how long when asked to name the most northern cape in the world. Only the latest geographies show it on their maps now. but they will all have it in a few years. New York city, which hysterical ; imaginations are fain to compare with j Nineveh, Tyre, Babylon, Sodom and what Mr. Dooley calls other ancient "metroluppuses," is not an unhealthy ■ place, as great cities go. Last year i the births exceeded the deaths by [ 40,000. This is a greater gain than appears for the same time in London j Berlin or St. Petersburg, and in Pari- j the death-rate is much greater than j the birth-rate. New York is a healthy j young child and the nation will sue | ceed in bringing it up yet. Mr. Kdison lias sent Count Leo Tol stoy a phonograph of the latest and j most improved pattern, and in return 1 will receive a cylinder registering Tol stoy s voice as he gives his interpreta tion of certain Bible texts. The time will c«->nie probably when the voices oi all prominent personages will be thus preserved for the edification of later generations. For that matter, voices of private individuals will doubtless be kept in the same way foi the benefit of their families, just as j universally as photographs are now. Over 25 years ago London Truth es tablished a doll competition. This year it was held in Albert hall. Decern ber 18 and Ift. There were 20,000 toys and 4,000 dolls and 11,000 sixpences all to be given to children in London hospitals, workhouses and infirmaries For years a great friend of the poor children, Sir Francis Barry, gave the 11,000 sixpences; he died a year ago ! but friends and relatives arranged that the pile of sixpences should be given just the same to the expectant chil dren. I he American style of benevolence seems to be contagious. Other coun tries are feeling the effect. The will of Mrs. Rylands, widow of a wealthy cotton manufacturer of Manchester, England, leaves $2,365,000 to various i charities, including $1,000,000 to a li brary on which she spent $7,500,000 during her life. This is suggestive of come of the princely gifts to philan thropy made in the United States, al though the American record is as yet ahead of all others. Dr. lonian Abbott puts it thus neatly and pungently: "There is only one argument in favor of race track gambling, namely, that it improves the breed oi horses. The answer to that argument is conclusive-—if. deteri orates tht> rare of men." Mr. Rockefeller's Income is said to be over $1,000,000 a month. Perhaps toe considers that he deserves a rather large salary for standing for the (iisa greeable tilings that are continually said ol' him. From Sault ste. Marie, Mich, comes •word that President Roosevelt has ex pressed a favorable attitude in regard to an invitation to hunt moose and bear in the Canadian woods north of there after the expiration of his terra f f "ffice. That will be a little change from hunting the bulls and bears. A young Pennsylvaniaii Fas sued a gii 1 for 55,000 for breach of promise Such a low valuation of his damaged affections shows a modesty that aoes not. seem masculine.

Revision, He Declares, Will Be "Up or Down," as Necessary, in Accord ance with the Party's Theory of Protection. Mr. Dalzell of Pennsylvania spoke with unusual effect in the house re cently. Both sides of the chamber followed him with flattering attention, and were amply repaid. No speech of the session, so far, ranks it.and cone to follow is likely to do so. It was all the weightier for the entire absence of rhetoric, or picture, being a closely reasoned deliverance bristling with facts and plain illustrations. As Mr. Dalzell is a standpatter—one of the foremost champions of that side of the tariff question—that paragraph of the speech relating to the tariff possesses much value. Said the mem ber from Pittsburg: "Personally 1 do not believe that there is any necessity for a general revision of our tariff laws. 1 believe, however, that it is well to recognize the claims of those who think there should be revision, and I am inclined to believe that unless there should be a change of sentiment in the mean time the Republican convention, when it meets next June, will promi.se that tho subject will be considered. If the Republican party rih.il 1 prevail in the next election, I believe the tariff will be revised at a special session of congress following immediately upon the inauguration of the presi dent. "When revised, it will be in strict ac cordance with the Republican theory of protection, so as to furnish ample protection to every American indus try and the wage of every American workman. If there are now duties that are no longer needed for protec tion they will be reduced or dispensed with, if there be places where such protection as I have described does | not. exist, either by reason of their | absence of duties or by reason of j their being too low, in the one case duties will be added and in the other they will be increased. In other words, | the tariff will be revised up or down, } its may be necessary to make it really i protective.'' j Of course, the tariff is to be revised | "in strict accordance with the Repub j lican theory of protection," applied 1 ! both to manufacturing products and ito wages. There has never been any j other suggestion from any truly rep resentative Republican source Protec | tion not as an incident, but as a defi | nite object, has always been, and is , to-day, the recognized shibboleth oi the party. Promises made in the name of that cry have always been re deemed after victory, and legislation j fashioned on them has always re j dounded to the great advantage of the j country. But note this In Mr. Dalzell's pre- J diction: "The tariff will be revised j up or down, as may be necessary to j make it really protective." There- j visionists can conceive of no duties j j that are now too low. Evidently Mr. j Dalzell can, and does. So that at I Chicago, and in the next congress if the Republicans prevail in November, j the standpatters will have something ! to say on this point. It is not to be forgotten, either, that ! the government needs, and will con- ! tinue to need, a large revenue. Our \ expenses are heavy, and cannot be j reduced safely in a material sum on I any line. A reduction of customs du- j ties will mean the necessity of finding j the money elsewhere. And where? The supreme court has decided \ against an income tax, and while the member who cast the deciding vote ; has retired, it is not safe to assume | that such legislation would pass mus ter before the court as now consti tuted. Taxation is a big and a complex 1 question, and we have it. with us now j in its most difficult aspect. Mr. Dal- ! zell's warning should not escape the: 1 | leaders of the revisionists.—Washing- I ton Star. States' Rights and Treaties. Secretary Taft, in his address to the ! Brooklyn Bar association, took a pos- : itive stand on the question of har monizing the powers of the president with the obligations of states to ; abide by the treaties entered into by j the federal government. Until this ! question of states' rights is properly ' adjusted it leaves a weak place in the government, both as to domestic gov- ; ernment and international relations. 1 "It puts our country, now a world pow- I er, and entering into treaties with j every other government on earth," ! says Mr. Taft, "in the position of j promising that subjects of other j countries shall be properly treated. ' and then of having no means of carry ing out this promise, or of ptmishing those who violate it." The United States is insistent that j Its citizens shall be treated with due ' consideration in all parts of the world, j It would have little respect for an other republic or monarchy that would ! enter into treaty obligations to give 1 sue 1 ; treatment, and then be unable U pbvern its affairs relating to Amer •n citizens in some particular stat<' or province. The United States must j in some way empower tlie president to enforce treaty obligations in every state in the union. And when this subject is placed before congress it ! should have the support, of every rep- j resentative of every state. The na tion is bigger than the state. And the nation, and the nation, only, is con sidered in international relations.— | Kansas City Star. CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, MARCH 26, 1908. WILL MAKE DEMOCRATS THINK. Mixed Advice That Is Sent to the East from Denver. Advice that comes from Denver | with the weight of expert authority | conveys mixed information to tho I Democrats who have been cherishing expectations of a high time at the J Democratic national convention. Two 1 former Pennsylvania Democrats now | occupying official places in that city ! send this cogent warning: | "Delegates should remember that the city is a mile up in the air—that is, 5,2.50 feet above the sea level; that they should not chase the car, should not become excited or be un duly active, and that, two drinks of whisky will 'light them up' as much as nine in another atmosphere. In other words, this high altitude con tributes to quick heart action —a pumping heart, as it is called —and Denver's rarefied atmosphere demands on the part of aliens conservative movements, little or no exhilaration, wholesomely quiet thought and ac tion, and especially the minimum of stimulants, alcoholic and nicotine." As to the most salient point in this advice it may be written down as : good or bad, according to individual views. Some appalling reports are abroad as to the scale of charges i that is likely to prevail at Denver hotels. But if two drinks of whisky j in Deliver will do the work of nine in the more sluggish atmosphere of New York or Pittsburg the Democrats may ; think that the cost of nominating Bryan will be much reduced. But I what if the Denver saloonkeepers | should adopt the corporate principle , of "value of service" and charge as much for two drinks as the nine | would cost on the lowlands? But when Democratic authority pre | scribes "quiet thought and action, | conservative movements and 110 ex hilaration" for a Democratic national convention it introduces the irrecon cilable. How could Bryan have ever been nominated by the "Crown of thorns and cross of gold" speech on that regime? True, he may not need that hullabaloo to get the nomi nation this time. But quiet thought over the nomination of a Democratic candidate who has in the past achieved the revolution of getting a Republican senator elected from Kentucky is cal culated to produce chilliness in the Democratic extremities. —Pittsburg Dispatch. American Foodstuffs Abroad. "What we want," said the president of the American Reciprocal Tariff 1 league, "is such commercial relations j as will enable western farmers to sup ply food products to the millions of I Europe. Both Germany and France are ready to do business with us upon ; ihiy proposition." Well, are not west-. 1 ern farmers already supplying food j products to the millions of Europe? j It must be that they are, for our sur | plus food products are finding for j eign markets at the rate of nearly i $"00,000,000 a year. Most of them |go to Europe. Certainly none of the ! surplus stays at home. There is no ; glut in the American market. France ■ and Germany are already taking their 1 share. They might take more, per | haps, if their own food producers did not insist, upon first, marketing at home at high prices all that they have to sell. It is doubtful that the agra rian or land owning interests of Ger many and France will consent to have the tariff bars removed even though German and French manufacturers should thereby be enabled to swamp the American market with their products. The plea for larger markets for American foodstuffs is mostly a fraud and a snare. Danger of Bryanism. Republican campaign prevision can not. safely stop with the Democratic party's defined strength or witli a count of the states which Mr. Bryan did not carry in his two presidential efforts. This year there is a difference which weakens the force of old figur ing. All the discontented elements, all the loosely attached elements and all the Republican stay-at-home ele ments are to be considered as possible Democrats. It is not to be forgotten that each of the Bryan propositions, how ever chimerical it may be in the judg ment of the well informed, has a cer tain attraction for voting masses, and has been advanced with a not wholly illusloned view to that practical, if temporary, political effect. Popular faith in settled forms and principles of government is always shaken in times of sluggish industry. No man is able to prophesy how far even greenbackism will be accepted by the spirit of "anything-for-a-change" which will be present during the com ing campaign. Coming to the Front. The close approach of a protective tariff system for Great Britain has brought a new condition to the notice of the public over there, and it may have a positive effect on the I'nited States. An English trade paper re ports that a company manufacturing a popular safety razor in the I'nited States it; planning to establish a fac tory in England, to conform with a British patent law which provides that certain portions of patented articles offered for sale there must, be manu factured on English toil. The ma chinery is being imported from Amer ica. but the work is to be done by British subjects. That may lie ex pected of other industries if the old free trade country goes into protec tive tariff, as it has the appearance of doing now more than ever for years. The protective politicians are coming to the front rapidly.—Worcester Tele gram. A SIOO,OOO CONFLAGRATION GRAND PACIFIC HOTEL AT CHI CAGO PARTIALLY DAMAGED. No Lives Were Lost, Although Many of the Guests Were Compelled to Make Hasty Exits. Chicago, 111. —Five, resulting from crossed electric light wires, dam aged the Grand Pacific hotel Fri day afternoon to the extent of SIOO,- 000, and for a time threatened to de stroy the seven-story building at Clark street and Jackson Boulevard. The flames were mostly confined to the top floor. No lives were lost, al though many of the guests were com pelled to make hasty exits by the fire escapes. Only three persons were injured. Two of these, standing in the crowd in front of the hotel, were slightly cut by failing glass. The third was a fireman, Walter English, who fell from the fire escape anil suffered a fracture of the left arm. The fire was discovered by James Ryan, a mechanic, who was at work on the roof of the building. Two weeks ago, a portion of the hotel smoke stack was blown down by a gale, and Ryan was in charge of the gang of workmen which was putting up a new stack. He was placing a block under one corner of a derrick when a small tongue of flame shot up into his face. He at once gave the ala rm. When the first, smoke roiled along the roof and drifted down into the hotel court, it was thought to come from the defective sta< it. As the fire was in a corner of the upper tloor, Manager E. A. Whipple 01 the hotel for some time felt sure that there was no fire. He was soon informed by a bell boy, however, that flames had broke through the roof at the north west corner of the building, and he immediately issued orders to warn all guests to leave their rooms and come to the office. The telephone switch board was at once putin requisition and most all guests were advised to leave their rooms. Waiters and other hotel at tendants hurried through the hall ways. giving additional warning and directions. The clouds of smoke which poured out of the building were dense and pungent, filling stores and offices for several blocks to the north and east of the hotel. The smoke darkened the hulls so that many guests came down the fire escapes on the east, south and west sides of file building. NATIONAL LAWMAKERS. Proceedings of the Senate and House of Representatives. Washington.—General debate on the pension appropriation bill con tinued for over four hours in the house of representatives on the 18th. Tiie house then adjourned out of re spect to the memory of the late I'nit ed States Senator Whyte of Maryland. After adopting the usual resolutions the senate adjourned out of respect to the memory of the late Senator Whyte. Washington.—After being in session six minutes the senate on the 19th ad journed out of respect to the memory of the late Senator W'hvte of Alary land.

Washington.—The entering wedge ship subsidy bill passed the senate on the 20th by a viva voce vote. Three or four amendments were ace?pted and made part of the bill. SENTIMENT AND DEMAND Spring Jobbing Trade Has Passed Its Zenith with a Larger Trade Than Was Expected in All Lines. New York City.—lmprovement in sentiment and in actual demand con tinues, but it proceeds under the check rein of conservatism, which limits btiy ing to small lots of staple goods. Spring; jobbing trade has apparently passed its zenith, with a total trade larger perhaps than was expected some months ago, but smaller by far than a year ago. In industrial lines there is a good deal of irregularity. While iron and steel prices have been reaffirmed, pig iron shows weakness, despite more in quiry. Finished products note most activity in seasonable goods such as than a year ago. Fall trade is four to six weeks late in opening up. A FATHER'S BLOOD SAVES Transfusion Performed for First Time Saves Life of Child. New York City.—An operation in volving the transfr.sion of blood in to the veins of a child five .lays old, performed by Dr. Alexis Carroll, head of the Rockefeller institute, has at tracted wide attention among physi cians. The child was suffering from a little known disease, one of the symp toms of which is a weakening of the artery walls so that the blood escapes from all parts of the body. The child's father. Dr." Adrian V. S. T.ambert, volunteered to give his own blood, and one of •li s arteries was connected with the baby's blood ves sels. The effect was instantaneously beneficial and the little one is now not only out of all danger, but rapidly gaining flesh. Takes All His Property.
