Congress Authorizes the President to Begin at Once to Drive tiie Span, lards Out of Cuba. The resolutions passed by Congress almost unanimously yesterday make it plain that within the next few days the United States will be firing on Spain unless that government at once quits the island of Cuba, and leaves the people free and independent. Ibis is the ultimatum which the President will present to the Spanish govern ment, giving it sufficient time to com ply. If Spain withdraws and at the same time makes proper reparation for the Maine treachery then there will be no war, otherwise the people of this country may expect to hear that war has actually begun. Everything is in readiness to move at an hour's notice. McKinley has been through one war and is not the kind 01 man to be caught napping. The Spanish Minister, Polo y Ber nabe, has ordered all Spanish Consuls in the United States to prepare for departure, taking with them all the Spaoish subjects who desire to leave the country. Spaniards are fortifying the Cuban coast. After all-day and all-night sessions both Houees of Congress agreed yes terday morning upon the Davis Sen ate resolution, without the Turpie amendment reecogniziog the indepen dence of the Republic of Cuba, but declaring instead that the people of Cuba uro free and independent. The resolutions follow: Whereas, The abhorrent conditions which have existed for more than three yearn in the island of Cuba, so near our own borders, have shocked the moral sense of the people of the United States aod have been a disgrace to Christian civiliza tion, culminating, as they have, in the destruction of a United States battleship, with 2GG of its officers and crew, while on a friendly visit in the harbor of Havana, and cannot longer be endured, as has been set forth by the President of the United States in his message to Congress of April 11, 1898, upon which the action of Con gress was invited; therefore, Resolved, By the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America iu Congress assem bled, First That the people of tht island of Cuba ure, and of right ought to be, free and independent. Second That it is the duty of the United States to demand, and the government of the United States does hereby demand, that the government of Spain at once relin quish its authority and government in the island of Cuba, and withdraw its land and naval forces from Cuba and Cuban waters. Third That the President of the United States be and he is hereby di rected and empowered to use the en tire land and naval forces of the United States, and to call into the actual service of the Uuited States the militia of the several States to such extent as may be necessary to carry tuesa resolutions into etiect. Fourth That the United States hereby disclaims any disposition or mtention to exercise sovereignty, jur isdiction or control over said island except for tbe pacification thereof, and asserts its determination when that is accomplisned to leave the gov ernment and control of the island to its people. The President will sign the resolu lion and his ultimatum at the time before noon to-day. Spain's reply is expected to be unfavorable, and an immediate blockade of Cuban ports will follow. It is thought not more than 24 hours will be given Spain to make up her mind what she will do, Mr. Aruer Withdraws. Ed. Republican : As I am not able to make as care ful a canvass as I might be required ta be successful, I withdraw from the present campaign for Treasurer, not forgetting to thauk my many friends of Forest county for their friendship and their worthy promises, made to support roe if a candidate. Yours very truly, Calvin M. Arner. Tionesta, Ta., April 19, 1898. John Wanamaker' Canrass. Fditor Smith of the Punxsutawney Spirit hits off the John Wauamaker campaign in this superior style: John Wanamaker, who is now campaigning this State for the Guber natorial nomination, dearly stands at tbe head of America's great mer chants. In that field he has made a complete success. He is easily the boss. lie brooks no rival Rut his ambitiou does not stop here. He would like to be the leading politic ian of the State also, and perhaps af ter that of the Nation. He is a brainy man, aod possesses courage and au dacity. But his dreams of political power are not likely to be realized, because h misjudges 'men. In his business as a merchant he has learned to believo that men are influenced by cupidity, that they are easily duped, aud that the leading traits of human character are peuuriousoess aud self- interest. He is therefore prepared to ofl'er rare bargains in honest states manship, and great reduction in tax es. He has the- shop keeper's trick of belittling opposition, and impress ing a customer with the idea that his own intellectual dome is headquarters for everything that is desirable in tbe way of genuine, all wool reform. We admire John Wanamaker, and are proud that Pennsylvania has pro duced the greatest merchant of the century, a distinction that should cer tainly bo great enough to satisfy any roan whose talents run in that direc tion. But Mr. Wanamaker misjudges men. Stinginess is not the chief char acteristic of Pennsylvanians. Tbey do not admire hyperbole and self iaudatiou. Tbey may applaud exag geration and crimination, but in their calmer moments they will resent it as an attempt to trick them, and fool them into perpetrating an injustice. They waut straightforward maoliuess. They will not knowingly assist one man to build bis political fortunes up on the ruins of another, whom be him self is endeavoring to tear down. Tbey distrust a man wbo professes undying loyality to a party which hi is doing his best to discredit. They would rather be told of the good things their party has accomplished than to be told its leaders are robbers and cor ruptionisls. Mr. Wanamaker tells his hearers everywhere that an attempt was made at the last session of tbe legislature to reduce the school appropriation one million dollars, and that tbe seventy- six members who voted for him pre vented it. If he really believes that, he has beeu shamefully deceived. Every man who knew anythingof the plans and purposes of the majority faction in this legislature, knows tbat there never was, for a single mom ent, any serious thought of cutting the school appropriation one cent. The minority faction, which was straining every nerve to discredit and disgrace those who did not vote for Mr. Wanamaker for Senator, was anxious that the legislature should adjourn without providing the neces sary revenues to pay the usual appro priations. Knowing the unanimous feeling of the members against any reduction in the school appropriation, tbe leaders of tbe majority faction threatened to reduce the school ap propriation one million dollars. Then tbey said to the leaders of the minor ity faction, "If you will vote for the revenue bills, we will not reduce tbe school appropriation. If you want the schools to have $11,000,000, you must help us to provide the revenues." Tbe seventy six were thus thwarted in their attempt to defeat necessary revenue legislation, and the school appropriation was left intact. If Mr, Wanamaker does not kuow that, he has made little effort to post himself, and he should not attempt to convey information about matters of which be knows bo little. This is but a sample of the whole web of shoddy he is attempting to palm off on the voters of this State as a superior-brand of goods, aud it is njt surprising that it does not meet with a ready market. We have no fault to find with Mr. Wanamaker as a gentleman and a man of remarkable talents and euer gr, but we do not admire bis bargain counter political methods. The State Treasurer says that the full amount of the school appropria tion $5,500,000, has been paid for tbe year 1897. This year's appropriation I is not due until after Juue 1st. 1 The currency arguments of the campaign of 1896 will need lonie re vision, iu view of the fact that the money iu the country has increased 1246,000,000 since the date of the Chicago convention, an average of oearly $12,000,000 per month. l . : The value of sheep in tbe United States has increased $25,000,000 in round numbers since the inauguration of President McKinley, and is now the highest since 1893, while the val ues of other farm animals aud pro ducts have also greatly increased. A material increase in the price of lumber in the case of war with Spain is predicted, because of the fact that the shipments of lumber from the South in coastwise vessels will be interrupted, an i if rairied by rail, the prices necessarily increased. "The issue is now with the Con gress. It is a soleinu responsibility. I have exhausted every effort t re lieve the intolerable condition of af fairs which is at our doors. Prepared to execute every obligation imposed upon me by the Constitution and the law, I await your action." President McKinley to Congress on Cuban question, April 11, 1898. "The only bnpe of relief aud re pose from a condition which can no longer be endured is tbe enforced pacification nf Cuba. In the name of humanity, in the name of civilization, in behalf of injured Americiii inter ests which give us the right and duty to speak and act, tbe war in Cuba must stop," From President Mc Kinley' mtssage, April 11, 1898. The fact that the Democrats are "hogging the persimmons" in the matter of Congressional nominations wherever the fusion proposition is ac cepted by the Populists is creating much dissatisfaction among the mem bers of the last mentioned party, who see in it a studied effort to exclud eall Populists from participation in na tional affairs, and permanently aide track tho party. The course of tire new administra tion with reference to beet sugar is being highly commended by men of all parties and all sections. Secretary Wilson's latest report on this subject shows that the experiments of last year were highly successful, and that he has reason to expect tbat tbe beet sugar production of the Uuited States in 1898 will be double that of 1897, and that this will shortly become one of the well recognized and successful agricultural industries of the country John Wanamaker, who employs a large number of men, has stated that auy of his employes who are called out on military duty will have positions held for them, salary con tinued, and, in event of the employe's death while in service, an insurance of $1,000 will be paid by the firm to his family. That seems fair enough Blizzard. The idea is not original with John, a Buffalo firm haviog first adopted it. But it is gratifying to kuow tbat be still believes in adver tising. It appears that Bailey, of Texas, and Lewis, of Washington, declined invitations to go to Jefferson birthday anniversary observances, on the grouud tbat they could not be spared from Washington in this crisis. They were mistaken in this presumption. Both of them, in the discussion of the Cuban question, have displayed a partisan spirit which has disgusted patriotic persons of all parties. The Democracy could have spared both of them until the Spanish issue is set tled. To the extent of their ability and influence, which, happily, are small, they are factious obstruction ists, wbo injure nothing except the cause aod the party to which they belong. The farmer, the mechanic, and the bi cycle rider are liable to unexpected cuts and bruises. DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve is tue best thing to keep on hand. It beals quickly, and is a well known cure for piles. Heath fe Killmer.
