The Cameron Methods.
The last time Mr. Cameron was re-elect
ed to the Senate it was openly boasted by
his friends, and acknowledged by Demo
crats, that if the Republican defection in
the Legislature was sufficient to threaten
his defeat enough Democratic members
would come to his support to make his
election certain. Tne way in which the
Democratic newspapers, and Democrats
generally, are now trying to encourage
Senator Quay in his fight on the State Ad
ministration and in behalf of Mr. Cameron
is a significant indication that both Cam
eron and Quay can still depend upon the
common enemy to help them in any per
sona! effort to disturb and misuse the Re
publican party.
The combination of Democrats and
Qusy Republican members of the Legis
lature which defeated the reapportion
ment bills at the late session was merely
preliminary to what may be expected in
the way ot a combination in Mr. Camer
on's behalf at the next session unless the
Republican party in the present contest
emancipates itself from such danger. Sen
ator Quay is Mr. Cameron's friend and
oonld not be expected to be opposed to
Mr. Cameron's re-election. On every pre
vious occasion when Mr. Cameron was re
elected he has been indebted to Mr. Quay.
Without the exercise of Mr. Quiy's power
in his behalf he would not be in the Sen
ate to-day misrepresenting the
canism of Pennsylvania.
Mr Cameron is a candidate for re-elec
tion. To know that it is not necessary
that he should have made a public decla
ration of the fact. That would not be his
way. Previous to the canvass of 1884,
when the Legislature which re-elected him
the second time was chosen, Mr. Cameron
went abroad, gave out that his health was
shattered and he remained away practi
cally until th« election for members of
the Legislature was over. But all the
time he was away, and for a long time
previously, his agents and lriends were
working in different parts of the State,
and when the Legislature was counted up
after the election it was found Mr. Camer
on had it in his favor. It was then too
late to make successful opposition to him.
In the last canvass tor his re-election
substantially the same trick was played
upon the party. He did not go out of the
country, as before, but he remained se
olnded while his friends threw out inti
mations that he would not seek the Sena
torship again. They said he had never
told them he would be a candidate for
another term. But all the time they were
hard at work, and money was being spent
lavishly to nominate and elect men to the
Legislature who eould be depended upon
to support Mr. Cameron tor re-election to
another six years' term. As soon as this
was realized by the people—and they did
■ot realize it until alter the election —
there was a storm of Republican indigna
tion from every quarter. But it was too
late. The Republicans of the State had
been tricked the second time, and Mr.
Cameron's friends laughed at their out
bursts.
Thi same game is again attempted,
only it is a little more desperate situation
this time, and it is thought necessary to
have Senator Quay elected chairman of
the State Committee. Mr. Cameron's
candidacy*is perfectly well known. Ho
was in the contest last year lor the elec
tion of State Senators; he and bis friends,
both Republican and Democratic, are now
helping Senator Quay, and ho will bo in
the contest for the election of members of
the Legislature next year if a vestige of
hope remains to him. The best way to
defeat Mr. Cameron next year is to dbfeat
his friends and supporters this year. The
Republican party of Pennsylvania cannot
afford to be beaten by a Cameron-Quay-
Democratic combination.— Press.
THE banging in effigy of Secretary Car
lisle at Natchitoches the other night by
the free-Bilverites shows their lawless in
stincts and the weakness of their canse
when pat to the test of logical argument
and historical experience. When the
slave-hot d'ng oligiarchy could not an
swer the arguments of the Abolitionists in
the days of old, they hung the speakers in
effigy and the speakers themselves when
they got their courage screwed up to the
point with bad whisky. Will this be the
next move of the anarchistic free-silveritee?
What a poor cause they must have if the
only argument they can advance is the
rope.
Who Demonetized the Cow.
Mr. Edward Atkinson discusses a very
ab»orbing question, "Who demonetized
the cowt', It was unquestionably owing
to that early demonetization, the diro ef
fects of which ran down through tho cen
turies and culminated in 1873, that most
of our financial ills are chargeable, and
not to the muoh-denounced act of some
twenty-two years ago. Mr. Atkinson says
that "a cow wa9 the unit of value in the
Homeric period. A cow was current
money throagnout Europe, Asia, Egypt,
•nil all Africa. The ox was the highest
unit, the cow was the common standard;
the ass, the goat, and the sheep were the
small change," After this uncovering of
an ancient financial secret, Mr. Atkinson,
with coivincing congener an.l a port i>f
pitiful, tearful accert, again propounds
the question, "Who demonetized the
cowt" Mi. Atkinson is clear in the op
inion that what the farmers ought to do is
to go back "to the real money of our dad
dies, to the mot.cy of the ancient Greeks
and Romans, to the unit of value of the
men who 0.-ginlzed society and art and in
dustry and commerce " They know what
good mo'jey was, and the question there
fore recurs, "Who demonetized the cowt"
Mr. Atkinson states that "all the farmers
have to is to copy the legal
methods that the silver men propose.
Pat all the cows on Uncle Sam at a fixed
price, and then let Uncle Sam i?sne legal
tende r cow certificates."
KHKTCCKY distillers, having 85,000,-
000 gallons of whisky on hand, have con
cluded that that is enough for a year at
least, and proposed to suspend work at
their distilleries for a twelve-month, pro-
Tided they can get 1)0 per cent, of their
number to enter into tbe agreement.
They not only have big stocks on
h»nd, but report that the demand is small,
which latter condition should be good
news to tbe advocates of temperance.
No wonder Commodore Singerly's rec
ord in so opposed to Governor Hastings.
The Governor trounced the Commodore to
tho tune of about 250,000 vote* last fall
The Commodore thinks Hastings would be
a good man for the Republican party to
turn down, and especially n for the
Democratic party. Oh, yes, tho coinino
doro has good reasons tor opDo.-ing
Hastings lor that phenomenal majority.
This Year's Elections.
The political campaign of the present
year lacks the interest that was attached
to that of last year, by reason of the fact
that only Slate officers are to be chosen,
and also because the general condition of
things is improved; but it has a good deal
of importance, nevertheless, and the re
sult of the approaching elections can not
fail to effect the fortunes of the parties
in a considerable degree. It is impossible
in a year immediately proceding a
Presidential canvass to keep national
questions out of Stato contest?. Local
issues can not be made the exclusive
topics of discussion and tests of party
strength. The peopb are not willing to
put aside mattejs of vital significance to
the whole country for the purpose of ad
justing matters which pertain only to par
ticular localities. They like to vote upon
everything in sight, BO to speak, and to
give expression to their views about ail
the doctrines and policies which relate to
the common welfare and prosperity. It
is true, as they know, that State officers
have little or nothing to do with Federal
affairs; bat the interests of the parties
which such officers represents are at stake
all the same, and the average yoter is in
the habit of casting his ballot with that
fact uppermost in his mind.
In all the State platforms this year, it
will be observed, preference is given to
national questions, and the campaign is
being conducted with reference princi
pally to such considerations. The chan
ces are in favor of the Republicans in
every Northeran State, and they have a
possibility of success in Kentucky and
Maryland also. But they h»ve not the
same advantages that they had last year,
generally speaking, and there is danger
that their overconfiden ce will prevent
them from polling a full vote, and thus
promoting their parly's chances of success
next year. It is easv to understand that
another emphatic verdict for protection,
sound money and honest government like
the one that was rendered last year is very
desirable to the Republicans this year in
order to stimulate the anti-Democratic
sentiment and encourage men to vote
their ticket. Big Republican majorities
in the coming Stato elections will contrib
ute materially to the means of a triump
hant victory for their standard bearers in
1896; and one of the main efforts of the
party leaders will be to urge their party
men to go to the polls and make the num
ber of voters on their side as large as pos
sible. In politics, as in war, the worse
the enemy is whipped in preliminary en
gagements the easier it is to defeat him in
the main battle, and a decisive victory
for the Republicans this year will go a
great way towards making success cer
tain and overwhelming next year.
MAN dislikes dictation. He hates boss
es, and loves to flatter himself that he is a
free agent. Hovr is the oomplete and sub
serviart slave of custom and of law, nat
ural and civil. Nature tells him to eat
and sleep and take proper oxercise. He
must obey or die. Custom prescribes his
actions, and his conduct is regulated by
law. Fashion dictates the cut of his
garments, and popular sentiment governs
his opinions. All this is so well known
that his conduct under any given circaui
stances may be pretty accurately predict
ed. Planet* themselves are subject to the
dictation of inexorable law. Everything
fits everything, and mast run in its proper
groove or be crushed out of existance_
Solar systems obey orders, and the uni
verse is a piece of clock-woik. Whj
then, should little, insignificant ephemer
al man set himself up as a free agent?
There is no tyranny but wrong—no cruel
ty but wantonness. Every man Las his
place, and everything its purpose. "Who
can say that the perfume of the rose in
not useful to the constellationst" All
thongs are important as forming a link in
an orderly and connected whole, and all
are insignificant as individuals. — Ex.
ALL government, indeed every humau
enjoyment, every virtue, and every pru
dent act, is founded on compromise atd
barter. Ve balance inconvenience; we
give and take, we remit same rights to
enjoy others, and we chose rather to be
happy oitizens than subtile disputauts.
As we must givo away some natural lib
erty to enjoy civil advantages, so we
must sacrifice some civil liberties for tbe
advantages to be derived from the
communion and fellowship of a great em
pire. But, in all fair dealings, the thivig
bought must tear some proportion to th«
price paid. None will bareer away
the immediate jewel of his soul.
"Thkre is no such thing as law," was
the surprising and comforting piece of in
formation given by Governor Clark of
Arkansas, to the la3t graduates of the law
department Arkansas University. The
Governor had but just presented diplomas
to the young men, which the recipients
might naturally suppose were evidence
that thoy knew some law, as a result of
several years of study. Governor Clark
explained that there woro rules accepted
as law, but these were so complex in
principle as to render the law a myth.
Ninety per cent, of appealed cases could
be decided either way, he averred, and
Lawyers on the bench very frequently
divide on the question of what is the law.
Ths newspapers are just now filled with
tho doings of the multi-murderer Holmes.
Anything conuected with that arch fiend,
no matter how wildly conjectural, is con
sidered good news matter; and wholesome
reading is sot aside for this gruesome
trash. Ail this is demoralizing. It may,'
however; be turned into a useful lesson as
illustrating the power of habit. No doubt
even Holmes had qualms of conscience
after committing his first murder, ami was
hauated by visions of the police and the
gallows. But a few additional murder;; so
calloused his conscience its to make mur
der a passion with him.
150 Miles an Hour.
Ij«!ig distance transportation of people,
mail and express, at a speed of 150 miles
per hour or greater, is a flight of imagina
tion whicn may be realized in the near
future, as a result of a combination offici
ally announced between the Westing
house Electric and Manufacturing Com
pany of Pittsburg and the Benham-Wil
liams Company, operating tho great Bald
win locomotive works, of Philadelphia.
Tie Westinghouse Company has au
electiic motor, it is claimed, in the Nikola
Tesla patent, of sufficient force to whisk a
carload of people through space at the rate
of almost three miles per minute.
A combination has now been effected
with the Baldwin company, which is the
oldest and most experienced locomotivo
building concern, to produce a carriage
which can withstand the shock of the rail
contact when going at such lightning
liko velocity.
George Westinghouse, said "We have
entered into working arrangement with
the Baldwin people under which we pro
vide the motors for electric engines and
they build the rest of the gear. Tnere is
au increasing demand for elctric locomo
tives. and they may become tbe chief
traction power in the future. In order to
snpply the great demand for them we have
taken the necessary steps in advance.
"So far these locomotives have had a
very limited use. They have been assign
ed to work iu freight yards in situations
where the freedom from smoke made them
especially valuable. Hut these limitations
cannot last, and we realized that plans
must be made to build tho machines on a
large scale."
*'Joe" Rising, of Indiana county, owes
a cat tl.at last week gave birth to two
lively kittens. The mother, alter a care
ful survey of the increase to her family,
concluded that it wasn't large enough; so
off slie trotted to the woods and returned
in a short time with two rabbits, which
she has domiciled with her own offspring.
The mother, the tw > kitten and the two
rabbits mokes what might be termed a
"happy lamily."
NEI3HBORHOOD NOTES.
While workmen in Meadville were dig
ging a trench last week they unearthed a
human skull. It was fractured, indicat
ing a violent death. May as well charge
it up to Holmes. The daily finds of that
man's victims indicate that his bone
yard covered the best part of this con
tinent.
A gentleman in Lancaster city present
ed to the Intelligencer a specimen of but
terfly. or moth, which was bred from the
larva- which caused the antics of the
beans known as "jumping beans," which
were a curiosity in many store windows
last summer. The bean is a native of
Mexico.
An Erie paper says: "Grapes willj be
plentiful. At Dunkirk the crop will be
large and better than ever belore." This
opens the question whether the "Erie liar
was lying at the time of the May frost or
is doing his lying now.
Phtebe Walton, who was ninety years
of age, died at the Bucks County Poor
house last week. All of her long life,
with the exception ot live weeks, was
spent in the poor house, where she died
She was well Known to almost every per
son in Bucks County.
An exchange says the time is coming—
and not far distant, so rumor goes—when
the bicycle that now costs SIOO can be
bought next summer for SSO or SOO. A re
port has been in circulation for some time to
the effect that a syndicate is being formed
for the purpose of putting on the market
on or belore April 1, 1896, 4t'0,000 bicycles,
which are to be made at $lB each and
sold as low as S3O. The bicycle is to be
as good for all ordinary purposes, as the
SIOO wheel of today, and it is supposed it
will lead in the cutting of prices.

menced to use your new cure for one of
my torsos that had the heaves very bad,
and continued to use the medicine for
ab< at forty days and the horse did not
shf fv any signs of a return of tbem. It is
no v about a year since I quit givin the
m«d\c'\no and the horse has never sowed
an signs of heaves, and I feel stisfied
tht t he is properly cured.
W C. CRISWKLL,

it will do the work if used accordng to di
