FREELAND, PA., AUGUST 24, 1890.
Aguinaldo should now place a lawyer
at the head of the war department and
proceed with the fight.
Now and then the death of free silver
Is announced, but no one has produced
proof of tho corpus delicti.
General Otis says he will not waste
much of his valuable time on his critics.
In other words, he will treat tlicm as he
does the Filipinos.
Vice President Hobart is now known
as tho "official bouncer" since the resig
nation of Alger, for it will be remem
bered that it was after his visit to
Ilobart that Alger concluded to resign.
Tho office of vice president is develop
ing into a highly important and useful
one.
If the war is not ended in a year from
now—and it is impossible to see how it
can ever come to an end under the
management of Otis —the Republicans
need not go to the trouble of naming a
candidate, for leading members of their
own party agree that the Democrats
will have a walk-over in such an event.
Let no voter be misled on Saturday
by any statement which may have for
Its object an appeal to partisanship in
voting on tho bond issuo question.
Progress, like patriotism, knows no
party. Don't let political, personal or
any other feeling prevent you from
doing your duty when Freeland's inter
ests are at stake.
Evoryone is looking forward to a
lively session of congress next winter,
for Republicans as well as Democrats
are expected to lire hot shot into the
administration for the policy pursued in
tho Philippines. Senators lioar, Well
ington and Mason, all Republicans, are
known to bo outspoken in their opposi
tion to the president in this matter,
and their ranks aro being added to
every day.
The election of a presidont arouses
enthusiasm everywhere, hut the result,
to tho individual is not worthy of com
parison with the result of a local elec
tion. On Saturday there will be a local
election in Freelatid. The result to
every citizen of the borough is of suf
ficient importance to demand his pres
ence at tho polls and the casting of a
ballot for or against tho advancement
of our town. All citizens should vote
on Saturday, then the result would show
whether or not Freeland is deserving of
tho reputation for progressiveness that
it enjoys.
Western View of the War.
Out in lowa last week tho Democrats
held their state convention and, after
nominating candidates for governor and
other offices, they adopted a platform
which denounces trusts and indorses
tho Chicago platform, "In the whole
and in tho detail," expresses admiration
for and loyalty to William J. Bryan and
favors him for the nomination in 1900.
In regard to the war in the Philippines,
the platform has the following to say :
If war against Spain was right, and
it was, that against tho natives of the
Philippines, who have committed no of
fense save to love liberty and to be will
ing to fight and die for it, is wrong.
The attempt, unauthorized by congress,
to conquer the natives of Oriental is
lands is a repudiation of the American
doctrine of consent affirmed in tho Dec
laration of Independence, and in con
flict with the principal which George
Washington and his fellow-patriots of
the revolution made sacrifices to ostab
lish.
We condemn the war against the Fili
pinos, believing it to have been inspired
by Great Britian for the purpose of pro
ducing conditions that will force an
Anglo-American alliance, and we not
only protest against the war and de
mand its termination by extension to the
Filipinos of the same assurance given
to the Cubans, but we record our deep
seated antagonism to an alliance with
Great Britian or any other European
power, and express our detestation of
tho attempt made in British interests
to disrupt tho friendly relations which
have uniformly existed between the
United States and Germany.
OUR CAPITAL LETTER.
HOW THE ADMINISTRATION SHOWS
CONFIDENCE IN OTIS.
11IH Suggestions Regarding tlie Number
of Troops Required in tlie I'hilippiiies
Are Ignored An Indiana Colonel Kx
presnes His Opinion— Diseased Soldiers.
Washington, August 22, 1800.
If the administration follows its pres
ent method of showing its confidence
in General Otis to its logical conclusion,
there will be a new commander in tlie
Philippines before the lighting cam
paign opens. It began to show its
confidence in General Otis, who had
continually declared that 30,000 men
wore all he needed, by issuing the
necessary orders to make the full
strength of the army in the Philippines
40,000 men; then it was decided to
make it 50,000, and the orders under
which the ton new regiments are being
recruited will raiso the number to 03,000.
To be logical the next order should
name a new commander for this large
army. The proceedings in connection
with the order to recruit theso last ten
regiments which, by tlie way, will al
most bring the volunteer army up to
the limit set by congress, were an ob
ject lesson in the wlbly-wably policy
which this administration has so often
adopted. At first it was positively de
nied that the order would be issued at
all; then it was said that the regiments
would be raised, but would merely be
held as a reserve, and at last, whon it
could no longer be hidden, it was ac
knowledged that arrangements had
been made to land tlie last of them at
Manila about the first of December.
X X X
The sending of a big army to tlie
Philippines is a political play on the
part of the administration. This is
recognized by all close political obser
vers. The opinion of Colonel W. E.
McLean, of Indiana, who was deputy
commissioner of pensions under the
Cleveland administration, and who is
now in Washington, on his way to the
G. A. R. encampment, to which he is a
delegate-at-large, is that of thousands,
regardless of politics- He said: "One
thing isVertain; if the Philippine war Is
not ended before the presidential cam- i
paign comes on, it is good-bye to Presi
dent McKinloy. The war over thero is
fast growing in unpopularity. The
policy of expansion is opposed by a
great many Western Republicans, and
the Democrats arc nearly a unit against
it." Speaking of politics in his own ;
state, Colonel McLean says; "The
Indiana Democrat who is not for Bryan j
and the Chicago platform is a man ,
without a party, and his position is so !
lonesome that he almost feels as though |
he had no country." The colonel
knows, as ho was that sort of a Demo
crat himself In 181)0.
X X X
There is a paragraph in an official re
port just received by Surgeon General |
Sternberg from Major John R. llolf,
chief surgeon of the military district of
Porto Rico, which is not calculated to
make new shouters for imperialism
among the thoughtful. In considering
this very serious matter, it should not
be forgotten that Porto Rico is the
healthiest of our new island possessions.
The parapraph is too plain-spoken to be
quoted in the TKIUUNE. Suffico it to
say that in It Major IIoIT speaks of the
alarming prevalence of private diseases
among our soldiers over there and says
Indications are that it will not bo long
bofore a large percentage of them will
be as thoroughly infected as tlie native
population, lie also points out the
danger of returning soldiers spreading
the contamination at their homes, a
danger which Great Britain has found
to be of the gravest proportions in her
experience with her tropical posses
sions. Something like tiiis lias been
said before, but it was hooted down as
tlie talk of an alarmist. It begins to
look as though tlie man who said, "the
more you know about the tropics the
less desire you have to live there," was
about right.
t t X
Accordingto high Republican authori
ty, Alger never was a real candidate for
the senate and his announcement to
that effect was made after a full under
standing with Mr. Mclvinley, solely for
the purpose of preparing a reason for
his resignation from the cabinet. This
may or may not bo true, but the an
nouncement several days ago by Mr.
Alger that ho was entirely out of poli
tics, seems to boar out the story. There
has been so much Republican trickiness
in Washington that one is never sur
prised to discover something new in that
lino. The Ilanna-McKinley crowd seem
to prefer doing even the most simple
things in a mysterious way.
A G. A. R. Souvenir.
The big G. A. R. encampment at
Philadelphia begins September 4. Next
Sunday's Philadelphia Press will be a
souvenir edition, dedicated to the
heroes of the Grand Army. It will be
tilled with valuable information for
those who attend the festivities and in
teresting matter appropriate to this
great event in Grand Army circles.
Artists and photographers will aid the
most skilled writers in making this
edition the finest over published.
Are you looking for an old comn do,
who you believe will be there at the
encampment? Some old friend perhaps
iu a regiment, whom you have not seen
for years? If so, the Press will help
you find him and will print free of
charge, all personal requests of old
soldiers who will take part in the en
campment and who wish to learn the
whereabouts of old comrades. Write
to the Press and give names, regiment
and other details.
Watch the date on your paper.
REELS OF BARBED WIRE.
One Thing That In Never Handled Without
Gloves When It Is Shipped.
Barbed wire for shipment is wound
on reels containing about 100 pounds
each. In its dimensions a reel of wire
is of übout the size of a half-bushel
measure; innumerable barbs project
ing from it all over except for narrow
strips of board that extend across the
ends and form the end pieces of the
reel. Large cpiautitles of barbed wire
are exported, and it is a common sight
to see the reels going aboard ships
lying at South street wharves, says
the New York Sun. The wire is
brought alongside the ship on the deck
of a lighter, such a load consistiug
i erhaps of 2,000 or 3,000 reels; some
times two or three lighter loads are
taken aboard a single ship. If it can
be done the lighter is brought along
side the vessel, In the slip, in order, as
far as possible, to avoid handling;
with the lighter alongside the wire can
be hoisted directly from the lighter in
to the ship. Sometimes it Is necessary
to tie the lighter to the opposite side
of t lie wharf from that at which the
vessel Is made fast, and move the wire
across the wharf. In that case more
handling is required.
There should be a man on the lighter
to tumble the reels down from the
load and roll them alongside to the
rail, the rolling being done with the
foot. On the deck of the lighter, ut
the rail, stands two men, ea?h with a
cotton hook. When the reel of wire
has been rolled along to them and
tipped over on its side, between them,
they each set a hook though strands
enough of the wire to hold, and lift the
reel and set it up on the stringpiece of
the wharf. Thence it is tipped over
onto the wharf by a man standing
there to receive it, and he starts it
rolling across the wharf by a push
with the foot. He wears hand cover
ings of some sort, as every longshore
man does in handling barbed wire;
these protective coverings include
gloves and mittens of leather and hand
leathers. The hand leathers worn are
seven or eight inches in length and
five or six inches in breadth and are
often cut from old boot legs. Hand
leathers have a slit in them across one
end, through whioh the hand is passed,
the strip of leather above the slit rest
ing on the back of the wrist. When the
palm and insides of the lingers of
gloves have been worn out the gloves
are put on with the back of the glove
on the palm side of the hand aul used
in that manner until that side is worn
out also. The reels of wire are gath
ered in bunches of six nt the foot of
the board that rises from tin* wharf,
resting against the ship to protect the
side of the ship from being scraped in
hoisting cargo aboard; they are hoist
ed aboard with a l>lt of stevedores'
gear made expressly for the purpose,
comprising half a dozen dangling
lengths of rope, each with a hook at
the end of it, which can be spread out
to reach the reels. Aliook is put into
each reel, under wire enough to give
it a secure hold, and when they have
all been hooked, the bunch is hoisted
up the side of the ship.
Upst Ily mi Umbrella.
"Talking about stealing umbrellas,"
said a New Orleans man. "I hud a
whimsical experience last week. One
afternoon, when it was raining, I hap
pened to see a very good umbrella in
the hall and—well, I annexed it, or
rather. 1 established a protectorate,
intending to return it before night to
the gentleman iu the adjoining office,
who I supposed, of course was the
owuer.
"But somehow or other I didn't, and
for several days 1 dodged him in and
out of the building, feeling particular
ly uncomfortable and guilty Finally
he dropped in, and, seeing the um
brella in the front office walked off
with it. I witnessed the incident unob
served from tlie rear room, and. natur
ally, said nothing. Next 'lay we en
countered in the elevator and he hand
ed me the umbrella.
" 'Here's your parachute,' he said.
'l'll have to own up that 1 appropriat
ed it yesterday, but it was raining and
tlie temptation was too strong for my
morals.'
"I took it rather gingerly and re
frained from offering any explanation.
That afternoon I set It just outside my
door and hud the satisfaction of see
ing it disappear under the arm of an
architect who is a prominent member
of my church and generally regarded
as a very moral man. Since then he
has had pressing business whenever I
hove into sight, and I Infer that he is
suffering a duplicate of the pangs re
cently experienced by myself and my
neighbor. The fellow who originally
left it hasn't turned up, so I suppose
that he, too, is a member of the robber
band."
Engine Driven Ily llncterlk.
N. P. MelnikofP, the editor of the
Russian journal Techuologue, lias
made a little model of an engine which
depends for Its motive power upon tlie
fermentation of bacteria. Although
the engine of itself has no practical
value, it nevertheless furnishes an in
teresting example of the power which
can be derived from fermenting bod
ies. Mr. Melnikoff decomposes glucose
into Its constituents One hundred and
eighty parts glucose will give ninety
two part sof alcohol and eighty-eight
parts of carbon dioxid gas. In a cop
per vessel, glucose, an acid phosphate,
acetic acid, geletln, water (75 per
cent.), and yeast are mixed together.
After twenty-four hours the gas with
in the vessel, at a temperature of 20
degreesC. (OH degrees F.). will have
attained a pressure of four and one
half atmospheres. Tlie inventor states
that if tlie vessel containing tlie yeast
bacteria be large, and tlie engine cylin
der be correspondingly proportioned,
enough power can be optained to oper
ate an engine uninterruptedly for
twenty or thirty hours. The fermen
tation of different bacteria will give
different results, the power produced
; depending upon the quantity of carbon
dioxid or other gases generated by
each species of bacteria.

jNATURE'SJUINTIES.
j CURIOUS ARTICLES OF FOOD THAT
ARE BUT LITTLE KNOWN.
Diallko for Horsefleali Founded on Preju
dice— Hoar's Flesh a Decided Favorite—
lthluooeros Meut Not Without Admirers
—Lion Flesh Naid to lie Good Eating.
It was Punch who pathetically com
plained of the monotony of eternal
beef and mutton, aud prayC'd for the
lu vent lon of a new meat. Indeed, the
English bill of fare Is an exceedingly
limited one, and many besldts Punch
have sometimes wished that u new
I meat could be Invented. But we do
j not take advantage of all tho dainties
! which nature offers; It Is not necessary
! to luvent a new meat, but idmply to
i acquire courage to taste and eat hith
erto uneaten animals, birds and rep-
I tiles.
! The cow, sheep, pig, various fowls,
i game and fish furnish uli the Items
of the various bills of fare; Indeed the
food of the vast majority of the people
simply consists of beef and mutton,
with occasional changes to pork and
fish. There are, however, many other
animals which, prejudice apart, would
furnish just as nourishing aid tnsty
and more novel food. Ilorso flesh is
regarded with popular horror, but the
I dislike Is one simply founded on preju-
I dice. No doubt the flesh of old, worn-
I out nags is neither very palatable or
I nourishing. But 11 horse which from
j Its birth Is intended for food, hik! fed
j and cared for like uu ox, supplies ex
cellent meat. It is much flnor In flavor
| than beef or mutton, and iniich more
expensive. In l'nrls the restaurants
; Include horse beef lu their daily
J menus. In England it is sometimes
j served at great feasts as a novelty,
I and 10 shillings a pound Is the usual
j price paid for it. Similarly, donkey
I flesh Is very good eating, provided It
ils young. A donkey more than eight
! months old is not edible. In taste it
!is snld to .much resemble a turkey
though very much finer In flax or. Two
I shillings a pound Is the price for don
| key meat, but a big demand would, of
course, reduce this to a reasonable lig
j lire; the same remark applies to horse
flesh. In Arabia the horse Is eaten
| and considered a great delicacy,
j Custom and prejudice alone prevent
1 many really tasty and common ani
mals being used for food. Of all ani
mals the pig, with Its fllthy, groveling
habits and food, seems the u;ost un
likely to be appreciated by human be
j lugs. Yet the pig, whose name is a
! synonym for all that is low and bestial,
;is eaten without repugnance—nay,
with relish. Charles Lamb wrote a
prose epic in praise of roast pork. xY
dainty lady will eat and enjoy roast
pork, but she would scream end shud
der at the very idea of eating a roast
rat. Yet the rat is a vegetarian, and
most cleanly in its habits, while no
body can claim that for tlie pig. Hat
i pie Is u great delicacy, acid was a
dish of which the Kev. J. Ci. Wood,
the celebrated nuturulist, was ex
• tremely fond.
| During the siege of Paris, In 1871,
the starving inhabitants ate up all the
nnlmills in the zoo. Elephant aud
lion steaks nnd the flesh of other wild
animals were eaten, nnd, though It
was a case of llohson's choice—that
or none at all—the Parisians found
that they were very palatable. Even
now the gourmets of Paris delight in
the flesh of camels, lions and ele
phants. Camel's flesh is brought from
Algeria, and is said to be remarkably
like beef. It is as tender as veal, and
the Arabs regard it as very nutri
tious. The hump of a camel is the tit
bit of the beast, and when plump and
fat Is a dainty Indeed.
1 In the South of France snakes are
sold, ready for cooking, under the
name of hedge eels. Frank Hucklund,
the fumous naturalist, stated that he
once made a hearty meal off a boa con
strictor, its flesh being exceedingly
j white and firm, and not unlike veal in
taste. Fried or stewed rattlesnake Is
very like eel, which people 4at with
out a qualm of stomach or conscience.
I Lion flesh is said to be very good
eating, but tiger is tough and sinewy.
Nevertheless, the latter Is euten In In
dia, as there is a superstition that it
imparts strength nnd cunning to the
eater. Bear's flesh is n grout favorite
in Ocrinnny, aud smoked tongues and
hams are considered great delicacies.
Ou account of the rarity of bruin, they
are expensive. Sausage—so dear to
the Teutonic heart—and stomach—ls
also made with bear liver; 2ft pounds
of suusugc can be made from a single
liver.
There appears to be considerable
diversity of opinion as to the merits of
ilephunt's flesh. In India aud Africa
It is u favorite dish with th'a natives,
I but a European who has traveled
I much in Africa says: "I nave tasted
elephant over and over again. It is
more like soft leather and glue than
nuything else I can compare It to."
Another traveler, however, declares
that he cannot imagine how an animal
so coarse and heavy can produce such
delicate nnd tender flesh. All authori
ties, however, agree in commending
elephant's foot. Even the traveler
quoted above, who compared ele
phant's flesh to leather and glue, ad
mits that "baked elephant's foot is a
dish lit for a king. When 1111 elephant
Is shot in Africa the flesh is cut into
strips and dried; it is then called "bil
tong." The elephant's foot is cut off
from the kui i e joint, and a hole about
three feet deep is dug in the earth,
with the sides of if, baked hard with
burning wood. Most of these fagots
are then removed, nnd the elephant's
foot placed in the hole. It Is tilled up
with earth, tightly packed down, nnd
n blazing tire built on top. which is
kept burning for three hours Thus
cooked, the flesh is like a Jelly, and
can be eaten with a spoon. It Is the
greatest delicacy which can be given
to n Kaflir.
To Cure Wort*.
"An Irish cure for warts is to prick
them with a gooseberry thorn passes!
through a wedding ring." So says
."Herbal Simples: Approved for Mod
ern Uses of Cure." Seventeen other
1 remedies are credited by the author
with the same positive power. But he
makes this comment 011 their use: "By
*ouie subtle bodily action wrought
through a suggestion received by the
! mind, warts (lo undoubtedly disappear
I us the result of these and many other
iMjually trivial proceedings."
What is Celery King?
It la an herb drink, and is a positive cure
for constipation, headache, nervous disor
ders, rheumatism, kidney diseases, and the
various troubles arising from a disordered
stomach and torpid liver. It Is a most
agreeable medicine, and is recommended by
physicians generally. Kemeinber, it cures
constipation.
Celery King Is sold in 25c. and 50c. pacta
ages by druggists and dealers. 1
