SATURDAY. JUNE 3. 1800.
OUR COUNTRY : First, Last and Forever.
With the approach of tho Republi
can county convention, tho desire for
harmony anions the factions becomes
more pronounced.
PxiKslDKNT McKinlky did not take
the cover off the silver service after
all. He merely lifted it a little so that
some of the bad odor might escape.
Senator JJoiks Pknrosk has an
nounced himself as unreservedly in
favor of the renomiuatlou of Mc
Kinley for President. Tho junior
Senator is wise in his choice.
In Pennsylvania the kicking Re
publicans are called "Insurgents." In
Ohio, where a factional fight similar
to the one in Pennsylvania is being
carried on, the recalcitrants are de
nominated "rattlesnakes."
New York's Republican legislature
has taxed franchises. Missouri's
Democratic legislature dodged the
issue. It is not difficult to decide
which of the two parties are honestly
in favor of anti-trust legislation.
TALK about Kilkenny cats or a
Kentucky vendetta, why they ore
not in it in comparison with the fight
that is now going on betweeu the
Democratic factions in this county
They will be absorbing one another
by July 10th, the date of tho county
convention.
Br the adoption of a "cowardly
evasive platform" last year tho Dem
ocratic candidate for District At
torney was elected by a majority of
5,000. Should the Democrats this
year repudiate silver entirely, what
may we expect? The Republican can
didates should pray for the adoption
of the Chicago platform by the Dem
ocratic convention.
The Bryan and free silver wing of
the Democratic party in Maryland
are going to hold u meeting next
week, so "that a Democratic delega
tion may be sent from Maryland to
the next Democratic National con
vention favorable to the reaffirmation
of the Chicago platform and the re
nomination of Bryan." The Sllver-
ites are working to the same end in
this county, Members of the Demo
cratic Standing Committee are being
set up quietly with, a view to the
election of state delegates next year
favorable to the 1G to 1 idea.
The Herald is the only Shenan
doah paper listed in the "Newspaper
Blue Book for 1809." It is the part of
the business of that concern to know
which paper in each city and town
contains the most matter of interest
to the largest number of critical
readerB, and the fact that the Herald
is selected is only additional evidence
that this journal leuds its competi
tors in all respects. The publishers
of the Blue Book say : "All the
dailies of importance from the larger
cities and the best paper fromeach'of
the smaller cities and towns is what
the Newspaper Blue Book contains.
Every paper has been seleoted solely
on its merits by comparison with its com
petitors by expert readers."
The Mahanoy City Record is right
when it declares that the time has
arrived for some official declaration
as to when and under what circum
stances Inquests should be held. The
law seems to make it plain, but there
is complaint that many deputy cor
oners have abused the law and held
inquests when they Were wholly un
necessary. The deputy coroners, too,
have run up against several mine in
spectors who haye deolared inquests
in certain cases unnecessary, and the
Taxpayers' Association is now after
Coroner Bieiler's deputies. There
fore, the question should be settled
once for all, in order that this con
stant' friction mav be avoided. Thus
comments the Pottsvilfo Chronicle.
"A Little Spark May
j Make Much Work."

KSTERHAZV'S CONFESSION.

London, Juno 3. The Daily Chron

Walsln Estorhazy called at its office
last evening, with a confidential friend,
and, after declaring that the time had
arrived when tho whole truth should
be told, although hitherto by reason of
constant orders and Inducements he
had kept silence on the essential point,
made the following statement:
"Tho chiefs of the army havo dis
gracefully abandoned me. My cup Is
full, and I shall speak out. Yes, It was
I who -wrote tho bordereau. I wrote
It upon orders received from Sand-
herr."
Esterbazy, The Chronicle says, then

Wnshington.Juno 3. Tho announce
mont nt Madrid in tho speech from
the throno to tho cortes thnt Sna n
had ceded tho Caroline island's nnd
Palaos and tho Mariannes was received
with surprise here. Tho cession marks
tho relinquishment of Spanish pos
sessions In tho far oast save tho
Island of Fernando Po and dependen
cies on the African coast. The des
patch containing tho news was shown
to the Gorman ombassy ofllciuls, but
Ambassador von Hollebon sala that
he had no comments to make. Ho had
received no information, he said, as to
the cession, and tho Gorman foreign
offlco had not communicated the facts
to him.
Reports havo been current from timo
to timo that Spain waB figuring ou a
transfer of sovereignty of tho Caro
lines and that Germany had mado
overtures looking to their acquisition
In the extension of hor colonial pos
sessions. Sovereignty over tho Caro
lines was formally adjudged by the
pope In 1885 to bo In Spain, and was
admitted by Gormany and Great Brl
tain. This was after a rather prolonged
dispute, opened up by Germany raising
her flag over the Island of Yap. Por
tugal first ncqulred the Carolina islands
but Spain soon wrested tho group from
her, but until the eighties had paid
little attention to tho islands. Gorman
Interests in the Carolines aro relatively
extensive, and have beon fostered by a
provision of tho pope s award, ho as
arbitrator nwarding sovereignty to
Spain, but reserved to tho German gov
ernment special trado facilities. The
Marianne Islands, which go with tho
Carolines and Palaos In the cession, of
courso do not Include Guam, ovor
which the American flag now flies.
Including Guam, tho Mariannes, tho
Cnrolincs nnd Palaos havo a total area
of almost 1,000 English square miles,
nnd a combined population of about
45,000 people. Over all this, save tho
American acquired Island of Guam,
the German flag is to be hoisted.
While this government has been un
advised of tho cession of these groups,
tho colonial policy of Emperor Will
iam has led tho administration to ex
pect that tho German government
would loso no opportunity to stretch
out its domain in the Pacific. Admin
istration officials do not regard the
movement as requiring any special
cognizance on the part of tho United
States, for, according to one member
of tho cabinet, this government hn3
acquired all that It wants in that quar
ter.
While Guam Is In tho midst ot the
other Islands of tho Ladronos that aro
ceded, that fact is giving po oopcorn
hero, and this government is not dlB
posod to raise any question upon even
