Tho people of the United States have long suspected that the clique of ofiicc buycrs, into whose hands the reins of government of our country unfortunately passed a few years ago, has been steadily and systematically endeavoring to de ceive and blindfold the nation regarding the true state of affairs in the Philip pines. To cover their blunders and their breaking of faith with the Filipinos they have deliberately and maliciously lied and slandered all who sought a true explanation of the causes of the present war and they have murdered by their incompetence hundreds of brave young Americans in their desire to procure glory and a second term for their chief. These bungling incompetents, led by a mortgaged president who knows no law save that expounded by the wor shippers of Mammon and who is on record as never having expressed an opinion of his own since his inaugura tion into the oflico which tho trusts of the world purchased for him, led by him the cotorie imagined it could go on de ceiving the people and distorting the facts until the land-grabbers and soul less plunderers have satisfied their greed in the Philippines. Rut tho administration, if such an honored word may be honestly applied to the wreckers of the nation's honor, failed to consider that never-sleeping sentinel of America—the American newspaper man—and the proof of the deceit and deception which has been practiced by Mclvinloy and his ilk is now laid before the country. The following statement was cabled by American correspondents to tho United States on Monday morning from Hong Kong, China, the censor having refused to allow it to pass at Manila. It more than justifies the attitude of the independent press of the country during the past four months, and is an indict ment that will over stand forth like the brand of Cain upon tho reputations of the unscrupulous falsifiers at Washing ton and Manila. Tho statement of the American cor respondents is as follows: The undersigned, being all staff cor respondents of American newspapers stationed in Manila, unite in the fol lowing statement: We believe that, ow ing to ollicial dispatches from Manila made public in Washington, the people of the United States have not received a correct impression of the situation in the Philippines, but that these de spatches have presented an ultra-opti mistic view that is not shared by the general oilicers in the field. We believe the despatches incorrectly represent the existing conditions among the Philippines in respect to dissension and demoralization resulting from the American campaign and to the brigand character of their army. We believe the despatches err in the declaration that "the situation is well in hand" and in the assumption that the insurrection can bo speedily ended without a greatly increased force. We think the tenacity of the Filipino purpose has been underestimated and that the statements are unfounded that volunteers are willing to engage in fur ther service. The censorship has compelled us to participate in this misrepresentation by exercising or altering uncontroverted statements of facts on the plea, as General Otis stated, that "they would alarm the people at home," or "have the people of tho United States by tin ears." Specifications: Prohibition of hospital reports; suppression of full reports of field operations in tin? event of failure; numbers of heat prostrations in the field; systematic minimizations of naval operations, arid suppression of complete reports of the situation.

Pave, putos, and entire communities laughed the courts to scorn. The young district attorney went at his work with great courage. lie sent a dozen of the most notorious outlaws to prison. The rest lied from the state, and such was his fame as a relentless pursuer of law breakers that he was elected attorney general of Texas in 1880 and again in 1888 on an anti-railroad and anti-ino nopoly platform. 11 IS STORMY CAREER. Now began the really stormy period of Mr. Hogg's career. He fought the railroads and ho fought theiu to a finish. He recovered thousands of acres of land that belonged to the stat-o. Texas was very lawless. And many district attor neys were afraid to do their duty while the courts were paralyzed. Ho made a proclamation, that at once became famous, that ho would purge Texas of lawlessness and crime or ho would bankrupt the state treasury. There was a man in Texas who boasted that no power could punish him. He had killed sixteen men. Mr. Hogg addressed him self to his case. He had the outlaw Indicted on twelve counts. He tried the case In person and convicted him on every one of the counts. A life sen tence followed. This case led to Mr. Hogg's nomination for governor in 1890 and he was elected by 100,000 majority. As governor, Mr. Hogg inaugurated a war on trusts, monopolies, railroads, banks and Insurance companies. lie got after the Standard Oil Company, and for a time drovo it out of the state. Vested capital took alarm and resolved to crush him. An attempt to defeat him for renominatien failed In 1802, and George Clarke, of Dallas, was nominated as an independent candidate. The Re publicans gave him support and he was voted for by the negroes, whom he had promised to protect their rights. THE GREAT CAMPAIGN. The campaign tried Hogg as few men have been tried. Ho was abused, slan dered and ridiculed in his own party. The press of the state was solid against him. Every corporate institution in the stato was back of the movement. Every financial power in the United States joined in. Texas was overrun by agents of railroads, banks, trusts and mortgago companies. His name was used in ribald and impolite ways. His administration was called the "Hogg" blight. It was said he had named his children "Ima" and "Ura," the sarno being a baseless slander. Texas never saw such a fierce campaign. Its progress was closely watched all over the United States. Mr. Hogg was re-elected by C5,0()0 majority. Henry M. Flagler never wont into Texas while this man was governor. These are just a few of the things that can bo told about James Stephen son Hogg, of Texas, who took command of Tammany Hall for a few minutes on .1 uly 4. BUCK MOUNTAIN. The residents of this place are glad to hear that Miss Elizabeth T. Healey, of Laurytown, will teach school here next term. It is said that Miss Ilealy is one of the best teachers who has ever presided over our school. John McTague had the forefinger of his right hand smashed while unhitch ing a car on top of a plane on Friday morning. Quite a number of our young folks attended the picnics at Eckley and Rock port Saturday evening. The employes of the Cross Creek Coal | Company were paid on Friday and some j of them had a good time. Miss O'Reilly, of Shenandoah, spent, a few days here last week as the guest of Miss Mary Ann Quinn. Fred Hoffman, of Eckley, has accept '•(l a position at the stripping as water boy. James A. Christy, of Freeland, trans acted business here on Saturday. Joe Dofotskle is wearing a smile over the arrival of a bouncing boy. Condy Furey, of Freeland, spent a few hours here on Saturday. LAURYTOWN AND ROCKPORT. The long-talked of third track on the Jersey Central Railroad was commenced last week. It is one ami one-half miles west of Rockport station. It will be completed in about four months. Misses Grace and Beatrice Dover, of Matich Chunk, are spending a few days here with Miss E. T. Healy. The harvest time is at hand and the farmers of this vicinity are putting in their crops. James Adams and Harry Carlton spent Saturday at Freeland.

The man who thinks of his last end, financially, will not be in a hurry to reach it. The nobleman who has pride of birth or birth to be proud of will not marry for money. The man who never has lied must have endured many painful intervals of silence. When a man says that nobody cares whether he lives or dies, he isn't adver tising himself very well. The laborer who Is worthy of his hire naturally resente any but a busi ness view of his relations to his em ployer. The man who Is contented may be all right In himself and In the bosom of his family, but he Is not In the pro cession. The man who professes religion In season and out of season is as good as anybody else, so long as he behaves himself. The experienced patrolman who keeps up a speaking acquaintance with the ex-convlcts on his beat is neither an interested student nor a sympathetic friend, but an armed neutral. The farmer who admires the agent's graphic description of the new-fangled article Is not without a feeling of pity for the people who know so little about the gullibility of the rural population. REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR. No girl believes In long engagements who can get a short one. He who would be the master of Love must first become his servant. A woman always has a lot of sym pathy for a man who pretends ho hasn't any for himself. The average girl has an idea that when a man Is In love with her he al ways talks about her to his dog. A man feels sort of queer when he hears that the woman he was once en gaged to is going to get a divorce. When two men quarrel one of them is wrong; when two women quarrel both of them are. What God and the angels do not un derstand about human nature is known only to the women. At the bottom of half of the married trouble in the world is a nagging wife, and at the bottom of the other half is an Indulgent husband. For the first six months the average married man wonders how his wife ever came to do It; for the next six he wonders how he ever came to do it himself. SOME WISE SAYINGS. When men grow virtuous In their old age they are merely making a sac rifice to God of the devil's leavings.— Swift. He whose first emotion, on the view of an excellent production, Is to under value It, will never have one of his own to show.—Alkln. Creditors have better memories than debtors; and creditors are a supersti tious sect, great observers of Bet days and times. —Franklin. For the credit of virtue it must be admitted that the greatest evils which befall mankind arc caused by their crimes.—La Rochefucauld. We ought In humanity no more de spise a man for the misfortunes of the mind than for those of the body, when they are such as he cannot help.— Pope. Consolation Indiscreetly pressed up on us whon wo are suffering under af fliction, only serves to Increase our pain, and to render our grief no more poignant.—Hosseau. ONE HUNDRED YEARS AGO. There was not a public library In tho United States. Almost all of the furniture was Im ported from England. An old copper mine In Connecticut was used as a prison. Every gentleman wore a queue, and powdered his hair. There was only one hat factory, and that made cocked hats. Crockery plates were objected to be cause they dulled the knives. Virginia contained a fifth of the pop ulation of the country. A man who Jeered at the preacher or criticised the sermon was fined. A gentleman bowing to a lady al ways scraped his foot on the ground. Two stage coaches bore all the travel between New York and Boston. When a man had enough tea, he placed his spoon across his cup to in dicate that he wanted no more. OPINIONS OF A PESSIMIST. Many a man is suspected of being cruel, when his wife's pained expres sion is due to tight shoes. If men could see themselves as oth ers see them the woods would be full of people. The man who Is always striving for things that are beyond his reach fre quently gets others that are equally as good. As a rule homely girls know more than pretty ones, but most men arc afraid to praise them for It. The woman passenger who says she would rather stand, when you offer your seat to her. gets mad Iflyou take j her word for It. Some men arc held back'by their wives, but they probably wouldn't get there anyway. L. A. W. PLUMS GIVEN OUT .Executive Committee Holds a Secret Ses sion In New York. T. J. Kcounn, Jr., of Pittsburg, the gentleman who was recently elected 1 President of the League of American Wheelmen, together with the members | of his Executive Committee, held a i prolonged meeting at the Astor House, ! New York, recently, at which pluins in the shape of offices were doled out to 1 some of those who had don? faithful j work for the League in the past. League of American Wheelmen na tional officials present at the secret session besides the President were: Vice-President 11. W. Foltz. of Indian apolis, I ml., and H. T. Kingsbury, of Keene, N. li., comprising the Execu tive Commltttee, und Treasurer J. C. | Tnttersall, of Trenton, N. J.; Secretary Abbott Bassett, of Boston, ami Sterl ing Elliott, of Boston. Later I. B. Pot- j ter and the local League of American I Wheelmen handicapper were in at tendance. Among much other business done at | the meeting, it was decided to estab lish a touring department to furnish | necessary information as to cycling routes throughout the United States. [ P. Aldricli, of Boston, formerly a ! League handicapper, was placed in [ charge of this department at a salary. \ It was decided to Increase the Rac ing Board to six or more members, and (J. E. Stackhousc was appointed the member for New York. It was an nounced that in order to better tight the National Cycling Association Fred erick (ierlnch, Chairman of the Board, will shortly open up headquarters in New York. Otto Doruor, of Milwaukee, was named to succeed himself as Chairman of the Highways Improvement Com mittee. Kffflcl of Wheeling on the Heart. Dr. Scliott, of Nauheim, Germany, who has devoted considerable time to the study of bicycling from a hygienic point of view, gives these facts as the result of his studies: Bicycling, Just as mountain climb ing, accelerates tlie action of the heart, and thus quickens the pulse. This nat urally tends to enlarging the heart during action, a process which during rest takes a backward turn, and the vital organ resumes Its natural state. By violence, or, say, excessive exer cise on the wheel, when the pulse beats at 140 per minute, the conditions change. The expansion of the heart does not fall hack to the normal, as is best proved by the "used up" look of the cycle racers after a tournament. Should this strained exercise continue the enlargement of the heart continues with it, and fatal results are inevita ble. The older the wheelman the easier do the muscles of the heart assume undue proportions, and. the arteries becoming less elastic with age, the life of such a man is greatly endangered. There Is a certain note in breathing which Is an infallible warning with turners and climbers, which, however very often fails its purpose with the cycler, for In ids case the great draught used by his runs supplies him with more oxygen than is necessary. All these things should be taken In due consideration by ardent wheel men. Bicycling as an exercise should be takeu only by persons whose heart and lungs are in the best natural con dition. The Kager Hear. This is a roller gear revolving In di rect line contact with the curved sur face of solid cut teeth, giving but the friction of a roller, while at the same time the teeth are in contact with the rollers throughout their entire length. One of the principal advantages claim ed for this arrangement is based on its Hue contact, the teeth and the rollers hearing on each other continually throughout their entire length while in contact, thus affording an abundance of wearing surface. In all angular pin gearing heretofore, only point contact THE SAGER GEAR, has been secured. Eud pressure on the bearings is avoided to a great ex tout In the Sager. The rollers revolve Into mesh very easily and give a small end thrust. Another positive advan tage claimed for this type is that it can be adjusted as easily as a chain, and will, even without casing run more freely in mud or dirt than the chain. The gear covering should be fitted to It, however, and is of henetit as it keeps the rollers nnd teeth entirely clean, and thus reduces the wear, while making it possible to lubricate freely. The Motor-i'Tcle. It Is generally conceded by experts that few motor cycles will be used as pacing machines this year, because In recent races the motor-cycle lias shown a tendency to get out of order at 1111 Important stage of the race, anil for this reason riders ure soiuewlist afraid to ride behind the big machines for fear of an accident The motor-cycle, how ever, when used, will he seen on tracks only In exhibition races. Their use In record trluls does not seem possible, unless the racing rules of the Lengue of American Wheelmen nre changed, tinder the present conditions records must be inade with human pace In order to be acceptable. Foamier, the French Inventor who Introduced the niotor-oyole ns a pacemaker, claims that he will soon introduce a machine that cau be driven fast enough to cover a mile lu less than one ami a half min utes nnd that there trill be uo fear of a breakdown. SATISFACTORY EXCUSE. ~ Where Court Wu Adjourned end BUI. Received en Apology. "I suppose some of these stories from the West are exaggerated, but this I saw myself." The speaker was a reliable Detroit lawyer, who tlrst tested his professional fortunes In Northern Missouri. "Everything else being anywhere near equal out there In those days, the mnn who was the best rltle shot had the most enviable popularity. Scott and Bills were two rival marks men In the village where I practiced, and their Jealousy of each other was so great that It was frequently pre dicted that they would some time turn loose on one another. "Scott was elected Justice ot me Peace, and at the time of this Incident was having a Jury trial In which I was employed. Bills hnd been subpoeuued as a witness, but did not appear. I declined to proceed without hint. After fumbling and saying unbecom ing things from the bench, the court ordered that Bills be brought in dead or nllve.

" 'He won't coma.' reported tlie con stable a few inlnutoa later, 'nud lie says nil the officers In MUoourey can't bring him, ne'ther.'
