FREELAND, PA., NOVEMBER2O,IBO9.
A Bribe-Giving Government.
"The United States pays no gold for
peace," said President McKinley in his
speech at Fargo, North Dakota, recent
ly. "Wo never gave a bribe for peace
in our history, and we never will."
If Mr. McKinley had only qualified
his statement by saying "We never
gave a bribe for peace, prior to my
administration," he would have been
nearer the truth. When ho made
the Fargo speech, lie probably forgot
the neat little treaty he made through
Mr. Schurman,of the Peace Commis
sioners, with the sultan of the Sulus in
the Philippines. Under this treaty
slavery and polygamy are countenanced
and the sultan is to receive an annual
payment (bribery) from Uncle Sam.
Of this treaty Mr. Schurman said, in
an article recently published by him:
Since returning to the United States
I have noticed some criticism of the
fact that slavery is permitted [by the
treaty) to continue in the Sulu group.
Slavery is a recognized institution
among the Sulus. If we were to take it
away, there's no telling what would
happen. Certainly, it would be to our
disadvantage. So long as peace is
maintained we will do well to let good
enough alone.
If this Is not "giving a bribe for
peace," what is? And under what dis
graceful circumstances!
Mr. McKinley has a great deference
for precedents and history and law and
American principles in his speeches,
but in his acts he Is an imperial law
unto himself.
"Th® Magic of Property."
From the Philadelphia Nortli American.
It is curious how rapidly a franchise
Increases In value upon passing into
private hands. Franchises owned by
the public, as we all know, aro worth
nothing. Substantial citizens ask for
them as gifts, and think that they are
conferring a favor upon the community
in accepting them. They are ferae
naturae, which are not property until
thoy are caught.
But the moment one of these public
franchises, Hung carelessly into the air,
is grasped by a private owner, it be
comes wealth. If another capitalist,
who might have had it from the com
munity for nothing, desires to obtain it
from its new proprietor he has to pay
a fortune for it. If the community
wishes to get back its gift it finds that
the thing it throw away has turned into
gold.
Some years ago New York, feeling in
a generous mood, scattered franchises
for bridges across the East river to all
comers. Eventually she wanted to
build such a bridge herself. It cost her
$200,000 to get permission to do so from
the people to whom she had given the
privilege of forbidding bridge construc
tion at that point. Now she wants
to build another, and it is thought it
will cost her as much more to buy back
the right to do it, although the fran
chise has only a trifle over a year to run.
And yet the people who vote in New
"York are all over twenty-one years old.
Advice on AdvertiMlng.
In the course of 250 years advertising
has developed into an art, but it doubt
less lias many new and surprising feat
ures held in reserve for the future.
Some intelligent people profess a
singular ignorance of the nature of an
advertisement, and they are all the
time urging newspapers to publish, free
of charge, reading matter which plainly
serves the private interests of those
who hand it in or request Its prepara
tion.
This sort of thing used to make old
Horace Greeley mad and it drew from
him the following pertinent advice:
When you want an article inserted to
subserve some purpose other than the
public good, you should offer to pay for 1
it. It Is not just that you should solicit
the use of columns not your own to
promote your own or your friends' pri
vate interests without offering to pay
for thorn. The fact that you are a
subscriber gives you no right in this
respect; if the paper is not wortli its i
price, don't take it. If you wish to use |
the columns of any journal to promote
your own or some other person's private
Interests, offer to pay for it; there is no
other honest way.
LORD MAYOR TALLON
DUBLIN'S CHIEF EXECUTIVE AND
HIS VIEWS.
He Thinks Ireland Is Getting Nearer
Home Rule Every Day—He Declares
That the Irishman Is Cleverer and
More Lovable Than Anybody Else.
The Lord Mayor of Dublin crossed
his legs and filled his briar-wood pipe.
He was on a Comfortable settee in the
Hoffman House, New York, aud he
felt comfortable himself.
"Do you know," said he to a New
York World reporter, pressing the to
bacco firmly down into the bowl and
striking a match. " we are going to get !
home rule In Ireland eventually? It j
may take some time, to be sure, but !
I believe we will win. We have gone
a loug way already. It is bound to
come."
The Lord Mayor of Dublin speaks
beautiful English, but it is beautiful
Irish, too. (lis English is pure and
undeflled. Written, it would compare
with any English. Spoken, it has
the softest brogue. It is Irish all
through, but never a tense Is violated,
never a case. The grammar is all
there, and the rhetoric. The brogue
is all in the manner it is dropped from
the lips of the most august citizen
of Ireland's capital—Daniel Tallon,
Esquire, Lord Mayor of Dublin.
"The late extension of the fran
chise," he said, taking a few medita- |
tive puffs of the stubby pipe, "Is do- |
ing everything for Ireland. It has j
been in operation only a few months,
but it has already worked wonders. ,
Managing Local Affairs.
"We now have the management o
local affairs in our own hands. Here
tofore they have been in the hands ol
Grand Juries, composed of the land
lord class, whom we lopk upon as the
garrisons of England in Ireland.
"Now we have got the affairs of the
country districts —the county affairs —
in our own hands. These are managed
directly by the representatives of the
people elected by them. Town Ma
yors, sheriffs, bailiffs, justices, all,
are elected by the people. We are
fast coming to American ideas, when
we will elect all our officers. If the
people choose to elect the landlords
to govern, why, all right. Let the
majority rule.
"We. of course, would like to see
a Parliament sitting in Dublin to gov
ern Ireland. We would like to see
such a Parliament having the power
of imposing taxes on Ireland, which
we now feel are unjust and excessive.
As a matter of fact Ireland is now
taxed £2,750,000 more than she should
pay. or nearly $14,000,000. These are
not our figures: these are the figures
of the Royal Commission on the fin
ancial relations between Ireland and
Great Britain. This in excess of the
amount we should pay under the
treaty of the Act of Union."
The Lord Mayor had dropped his
Jolly mood now. and was getting seri
ous. He puffed fast on his pipe and,
laid down the law with emphatic ges
tures. He uncrossed his legs and
leaned forward.
"These Royal Commissioners," he
continued, "were men of great abili-,
ty in questions of finance. They knew
how wronged Ireland had been and
is on matters of taxation. There were
Englishmen, Irishmen, and Scotchmen
on the Commission. All were of the
highest attainments. Of the English
I may state all were masters of fln-j
anee.
"The seventh article of the Treaty
of Union provided that out of every
£IOO raised by taxation in the Uni
ted Kingdom. Great Britain should
pay £BB and Ireland £l2. These pro-!
portions were explicitly stated by Pitt;
and Lord Castlereagh to !>• based up
on the taxable capacities of the two 1
kingdoms. If this bargain had been
kept Ireland would be taxed nearly
£3.000,000 less than she is to-day.
(Enjoying his pipe).
Since 1819 the imperial taxation of
Great Britain has 'been decreased by
nearly two-thirds, while that of poor
Ireland has been doubled.
"While the springs of English manu
facturing have been let loose, the two
chief manufactures of Ireland have
been heavily weighted—distilling and
tobacco making. Tke cultivation of
tobacco up to 1820 was a valuable in- j
dustry. Now it is prohibited. The av
erage income of the Irishman is £ls
per annum; that of the average Eng
lishman £42. Yet while the Eng
lishman's taxes are reduced, the Irish
man's has been trebled."
Getting Nearer Home Rule.
The Lord Mayor had all the statis
tics at his fingers' ends, and he quot
ed them impetuously. Figures flowed
from his mouth with every puff of to
bacco.
"And so I think we are getting near
er home rule every day. Ireland al
ready has her fair share of represen
tation in Parliament. She has 103
members out of 670 odd. We don't
want to he separated from England.
We don't mind the levying of soldiers
on us, and we don't want the right to
declare peace or war. and we don't
ask a hand In colonial affairs. All we
want is to have something to say
about taxing ourselves. We consid
er ourselves better able to manage
our own affairs than outsiders. |
"To-day home rule is stationary. It
is neither advancing nor retrograding.
The split in the Irish party is to
blame for this. This prevents us hav
ing the influence in Parliament thatj
we ought to have. When we were
a solid party and all voting together
we were occasionally in a position to
tprn out a Minister. This caused
them to legislate more quickly than
tbay otherwise might. Then, too, it
had a great moral effect. Apd I am
glad to say that there are indications
that the party is coming together
again.
"All England is now looking at the
effects of the Local Government act.
It has been in operation only a few
months and yet it is succee<jiing well.
It gives us a larger measure of free
dom ahd allows us to manage our own
roads, drainage and the like, and to
elect our own county officers. But we
haven't the power to refuse a tax im
posed upon us by England, but it is
coming some day. Redmond, John
Dillon and Healy are working togeth
er for Home Rule, and we will win
yet."
The Lord Mayor thinks New York
is a great place. He admits frankly
that he thought it couldn't hold a
candle to London, but now says Lon
don isn't anything in comparison. He
uses a green silk handkerchief. He
thinks the Irish a wonderful race.
"An Irishman," said he, "is quick
impulsive, generous. He is more in
telligent than an Englishman and
quick to understand. A thing enters
an Irishman's head as quick as light
ning and leaves it as quick. But it
takes a long time to get anything into
the brains of an Englishman; once
there it sticks forever."
His Lordship was getting enthusias
tic now. He declared that the Irish
man is cleverer, quicker, wittier, more
lovable than anybody else in the
world.
"Are the Irish a handsome people?"
asked the reporter.
"Ah," whispered His Lordship, "you
(Ireland will get home rule eventual- 1
ly.")
ought to go to the Horse Fair in Dub
lin if you want to see fine specimens
of the human race."
The Lord Mayor is a man of per
haps fifty. He is rather short and
thickset. When not in state dross
he wears his Lord Mayor's gold chain
inside his waistcoat. He smokes a ;
pipe constantly and knows what good
whiskey is. He is the most popular
man in Dublin and is serving his
fourth term, though no Lord Mayor has
ever before served more than one
term. The poor reverence him; the
rich respect him. He takes a mid
dle ground, seeking neither to antag
onize England nor to gloss over the
wrongs which he believes Ireland has
suffered.
THE DANGEROUS AGE.
Time at Which Men and Women Get
I Entangled in Matrimony.
The most dangerous age for a bach
elor is under 26 1 ,£, to be accurate, 26.-
35, as the registrar general dryly puts
it in his statistical return just issued,
says the St. Louis Republic. The i
most joyous and delightful age for a
woman is something over 24 YJ —24.50. j
That is to say. that it was at those pre
cise ages that the average bachelor
of last year and the average maid be
came one.
The bachelor, however, becomes
more wary year by year, lit? was older
in 1898 than in 1897. when he fell in
to the toils. The average bachelor was
married in 1897 at 26.30 years of age,
quite .05 less. The girl, too, has to wait
Jonger now than she used to. She was
.05 of a year younger in 1807 when she
became a wife than in 1898. As for the
people who marry as minors, they are
rapidly becoming a vanishing number,
among men. at least; eighty-four out
pf every 1,000 husbands in 1874 were
married under the age of 21, and so j
were 227 out of every 1,000 women.
The boy husband has come down to
fifty-one per 1,000 now; the girl wives
have dropped to 170 per 1,000. There
have not been so few boy and girl
marriages at any time since 1851.
Of the total marriages in 1898, 42,-1
751 persons were minors. Of those |
there were 2 girls 14 years; 10. 15; •
158, 16. five hoys. 16: 664 hoys, 17; 1,- j
196 girls. 17. and 3,303 boys and 0,294
girls, 18; over 18 the girl-wives run in
to tens of thousands, aud actually (
pearly 19,000 youths of 20 were mar
ried.
There has been a decided slump in
widowers and widows of late. In 1871
•138 husbands and 100 wives in every
1,000 were widowers and widows re
spectively. Things have changed since
then; there were but 98 widowers and I
|69 widows in every 1.000 in 1898. The
[widower, by the way, is obviously
more dangerous to the susceptible
heart of the opposite sex than the
iwidow. It is to be noted, however,
jthat when the widow selects a bache
lor as her husband she takes a man
{nearly two years her junior; when
she chooses a widower her husband is
[nearly five years older than herself.
No Runaways in Russia.
Runaway horses are unknown in
Russia. No one drives there without
having a thin cord with a running
noose around the neck of the animal.
When an animal bolts the cord is
pulled and the horse stops as soon as
he feels the pressure on the windpipe.
Sexes Politically Equal.
In Iceland men and women are in
fvery respect political equals. The
pation. which numbers about 70.000
people, is governed by representatives
by men and women together.
O brave old world take heart!
Each day. each wrong is cursed;
And the Evil look askance
For who shall bravely speak
The word defiant, just.
Man loves his fellow man.
—Carroll Austin.
A Chicago paper having kept a rec
ord of crime for ten years, deckles
that the saloon business of the United
States is directly chargeuhl? with a;
total of 53,436 murders during that j
time.
VYEATHERIN MANILA
* FALL OF SIX FEET OF RAIN IN ONE
MONTH.
Record For the Month of July Wm
Nearly 47 Inches, Equalled Only
Once Since Records Have Been
Kept.
It never rains In the United States
except at Utica, ill the State of New
York, and sometimes in the State of
Dregon. It lias been known to sprinkle
u the Borough of Manhattan, and
".here is on occasion a heavy mist in
Brooklyn. But at Manila, whan the
•ainmakers take off their coats and go
it it in earnest, there Is a precipita
tion that makes the rain gauges at the
ibservatory get busy with themselves,
ind stay busy for sometimes a week
11 a spell. There is no language of hy
perbole in speaking of rain there. Not
mly does it rain to beat the band and
.lie cars and the Dutch aud all the rest
jf the push, hut it keeps on raining
it'ter it has got them all beaten a block,
rhat is the part that Jars.
There were days when it seemed to
.lie casual observer, who had just float
ed in at headquarters by the banca
route or in a casco, that the campaign
was being delayed by undue depth of
water in the neighborhood of the cam
paigners. There were supply ships in
i lie bay that 110 casco went near for al
, nost three weeks. The wind howled,
the rain soared, the waves rose, a nil
f Washington did its duty by Manila,
j here went forth from the national cap-
I tal the information that the insurrec-
I :ion in the Philippines would not be
I suppressed until the rainy season was
ner. The veterans of last year sat
I iround and said: "Oh, you ought to
aave been at Camp Dewey. There was
.vhere it rained a bit 011 its own hook.
Why, I have waked up time and time
again just in time to catch my grlp
| ?ack with everything I had in the
i world with me floating out under the
| out flap. Why, this is only a gentle
I lew to what we got down there."
| In Manila the venders of grass for
lie ponies delivered it in bancas skll
-1 fully navigated along the streams at
:he sides of the streets. Along the line
i :lie men on outpost duty stood their
; :ours in trees or in boats, and some
i :imes had to swim to their post*.
According to the records at the ob
servatory the month of July was pecul
iar in several particulars. Its rainfall
was almost unprecedented, and nearly
ill of It occurred in the three weeks be
ween the 2d and 22d. In that per
od the city was under the influence of
I rnrious cyclonic centres that traversed
! Mther the Pacific or the China seas.
There wet* three distinct typhoons. The
; list was 011 the Pacific side of Luzon,
ind drifted up around the north end of
:he island, passing on to Formosa and
the westernmost of the Japanese Isl
inds. Curiously it was the influence
)f tliis disappearing storm that on the
)th and 10th gave Manila a taste of
j eal ability to rain, the precipitation
or those two days being fourteen and
4 half inches,
j The signals were hardly down after
tills storm than they went up again for
i new one that had formed in the
i'hina sea to the west of Luzon 11 ml
marched slap bang into the continent
}f Asia.
1 Then came the star of the whole ng
; fregation. Of this the observatory bill
et in for July says:
! "This storm, perhaps the most re
markable of the month, affected the
weather of Manila more especially on
rhe 18th, 10th and 20th. On the 18tli
the storm was X. E. and far distant
from Luzon, and its cyclonic influence
reached out at the same time to Japan
j ind the Philippines; the centre seemed
I to move then with a marked tendency
1 to westward toward the island of For-
Qiosa, bin on and after the 19th It in
lined northward, and 011 the 21st the
•entre was off Shanghai, where tlie
dorm raged with great intensity, (lo
ng considerable damage. The barom
eter fell to 2V) inches."
111 the three days thus specified Ma
aila caught a terrific downpour. Near
ly two feet of water fell, and the town,
j that had been traveling in rowboats
I luring the first typhoon began to con
template the advisability of getting in
1 few arks of modern design and np-
I proved accommodation for a long stay.
Then the real joy of life in Manila be
j pan to show itself in the blue mold
chat grew to phenomenal dimensions
|>n one's clothing. If vou watched your
boots for a little while you could see it
dart, and over night it would attain
4 length that would entitle It to enter
1 4 waving match with a North Dakota
wheat field just ready for the self
j binder. With four pounds of pure
i -amplior in every compartment of your
wardrobe the mold attacked undaunt
j 'd. It advanced on both flanks, front
I ind rear at the same time. Nothing
I ould withstand it. Oiled paper was a
I laughing stock. It pervaded even the
I sacred precincts of zinc-lined trunks
and tin boxes built especially to keep
it out. Alcohol lamps, kept burning in
the wardrobes at the imminent risk
*>f the total destruction of the contents
by lire, made faint impressions 011 the
HM'sisleifcl mold. There was nothing to
1 lo but wait for the sun and swear that
j if you ever got out of this country noth
j ing would Induce you to come back.
The observatory has been keeping
statistics of rainfall and other things
-ince 18i r >. and in all that time there
lias been only one month that was wet
ter than the one just passed. That was
September, 18(57. when 1500.3 milli
meters or 01.672 inches fell.
February has the smallest average
>f all the twelve, it being only 11.6 111 m.
Dnlv six times in the thirty-three years
has the February record gone above
20, ai (1 just ns many times it lias been
3.0. Nineteen times the precipitation
( was less than ten millimetres. Ten
; times January has been satisfied with
less than ten millimetres, seven were
less than five, and yet it has several
times gone almost to the hundred
mark, and once, in 1888, it reached
1072.8 mm., but in 1885 it was only
1)05.5 mm. In the first four months
of 1888 the precipitation was 306.3
mm., but for the corresponding months
of the next year it was only 5.9 mm.
This shows why some persons say
there is 110 rainy season in Manila.
That probably is true, technically, but
■ almost any American soldier who put
i iu July down there will stand up for
I the proposition that when the winds
1 prevail from the west there Is a like
:| 11 hood of dampness there or there
abouts.
FOh LOCKJAW.
Remarkable Results of Trials of Dr.
Wood's Discovery.
Whenevsr medical science achieves
a triumph over disease the world stops
for awhile to admire and wonder at it.
Just now the discovery of a remedy
for tetanus, commonly called lockjaw,
made by Dr. D. Kiavel Woods, the
widely known physician of Philadel
phia, is attracting unusual attention
among leading physicians. In a recent
article, which apeared in the Medical
Journal, Dr. Woods made the follow
ing statement:
"Having seen many cases of this
dreadful nervous disorder treated in
many different ways in hospitals and
private practice, I cite this case and
its treatment as the only one I have
ever seen recover."
As lockjaw has generally been re
garded as incurable, the treatment
used by Dr. Woods has been tried in a
number of cases since with astonish
ing results. The original case cured
by Dr. Woods, he says, was a twelve
year-old boy in Philadelphia. The lad
was in such a serious condition that
his mother would not permit his going
to a hospital, preferring, as she said,
that he remain and "die at home."
The following is what Dr. Woods
tells of the treatment he used, after
slating that the lad's foot had been in
jured :
"The place of injury was freely
opened and a dark, tarry substance
(altered blood) was scraped out. The
foot was then Boaked in a weak solu
tion of carbolic acid and warm water
for about half an hour. As it was im
possible for him to swallow, 10 minims
of a 10 per cent, solution of carbolic
acid was used hypodermically; 15 min
utes after the first 20 minims were in
jected; 15 minutes after the second,
30 minims were used. Thirty minims
were continued throughout the day
every half hour, with half a grain of
cannabis indica; at night the cannabis
indica was discontinued, the pupils of
his eyes at this time being very con
tracted. The carbolic acid solution
was administered through the night.
"On the afternoon of the third day
he slept for two hours, seemed re
freshed and said he felt better. From
this time he continued to improve, but
the rigidity did not leave him for
three weeks after the attack.
"From this case I learn that carbolic
acid in tetanus is effective only in
large and heroic doses. Under these
circumstances it is surprising how
much the system will bear. I believe
that carbolic acid acts as an antitoxin,
and is much more reliable than any
serum, which I have seen tried. If
given boldly as early as possible, so
that the system may be quickly and
completely saturated. Its antiseptic in
fluence will be manifest on the blood,
and I believe that there is great hope
of this agent becoming a great boon
to humanity in the cure of this dis
tressing and alarming malady. Short
ly after convalescence of this boy, I
learned through Capt. Wolcott, Civil
Engineer of the United States Navy
at League Island, of a case of tetanus
in one of their horses cured by the use
of carbolic acid on my suggestion of
that treatment."
It has been learned that the carbolic
acid treatment has been used often
in Philadelphia and some western
cities with very great success. Army
surgeons have taken it up as the first
known remedy to cure lockjaw among
horses.
Young Alfred Vanderbllt.
Alfred Gwynne Vanderbllt the new
head of the house of Vanderbilts has
just attained his majority. He gradu
ated from Yale University last June,
and is the second living son of the
late Cornelius Vanderbilt. The eldest
son died while an undergraduate at
Yale.
Physically Mr. Vunderbilt is about
flve feet eight inches tall and weighs
about 150 pounds. He is well built.
His complexion is dark and rather
pale. His features strongly resemble
those of his father, and he possesses
points of resemblance in expression to
his mother, who was Miss Gwynne, of
Cincinnati.
While In college Mr. Vanderbllt had,
it is said, formed an attachment which
society believes will soon result In a
marriage. Miss Elsie French, daugh
ter of the late Francis Ormande
French, president of the Manhattan
Trust Company, is the young lady
whom everybody believes will be Mrs.
Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt. She has
a fortune in her own right of more
than $5,000,000. She is also very
pretty.
