ADVERTISING.
Nothing, except the mint, can make
money without advertising.—Gladstone.
1 would as soon think of doing busi
ness without clerks as without adver
tising.—John Wanamaker.
When you pay more for the rent of
your business house than for advertis
ing your business, you arc pursuing a
false policy. If you can do business,
lot it bo known.—Benjamin Franklin.
It is a question whether tho convic
tion of Shamokin's councilmanic bribe
takers and bribe-givers will have the
effect it should have on men filling
similar positions in other towns. The
crime they have been found guilty of
should bo followed by severe punish
ment, as their action in accepting
money in direct violation of their oath
places them beyond tho pale of mercy,
and not only for that reason but to
serve as a warning to others who are
engaged in the same nefarious practice
elsewhere they should be dealt with as
they deserve. Tho belief that officials
aro elected to office to get "all they can
out of it," which is openly held today
in several Pennsylvania towns, does not
receive the condemnation it deserves.
The public closes its eyes, or has them
closed by the trickery of the rogues, too
much for its own good, and, unless a more
widespread interest is shown and public
officers' acts are more closely scrutin
ized, the day is not far distant when
direct plundering of local treasuries, as
shown in the Shamokin case, will be as
calmly countenanced as the indirect
stealing of public money is glossed over
today.
Before the new rules adopted by the
Republicans of the county have been
tried, there is fault found with them.
The ward boss fears that his influence
will bo lessened when voters go to the
polls and cast ballots direct for the men
they desire nominated, the boodle dele
gate sees his occupation gone under the
new system, and the makers of slates
find it harder to sway 12,000 or 14,000
men to their way by viewing tilings
than it was to corral a majority of the
delegates. Even the candidates are
somewhat restless and don't like the in
novation. However, if the Crawford
county system of making nominations
will lessen to any extent the use of
money in politics, it is preferable to the
methods that have disgraced Republi
can county conventions of the recent
past.
Cuba seems to bo rotten with corrup
tion. It is now ofiicially admitted that
the military authorities at Havana liavo

railway six miles long over level ground
through public streets, paying no duties
on materials and no price for right of
way. This is nearly SOO,OOO a mile!
And the war department excuses it by
saying that tho United States has been

WASHINGTON LETTER.
Washington, May 22. KMX).
Unless Mr. McKfnley stopped his ears,
he heard the enthusiastic cheers given
to the Boer envoys and the voices of the
senators and representatives, who spoke
in behalf of the two republics, now en
gaged In a death grapple with the
world's mightiest empire, to an audi
ence which the largest theatre in Wash
ington would not hold. The speakers
at that reception pointed out the fact
that from all over this country there
was a demand that this government
should save the lives of those little,
republics, which all the world knows
could he done by a word from Mr.
McKinley to the British government,
and yet that word remains unspoken.
Instead, the mouthpieces of tho ad
ministration are saying, "hush! we
know that England intends to wipe out
those republics, but it is none of our
business; we have promised to remain
neutral and we must not say a word."
A president who is afraid of England Is
a novelty in tills country, and a de
cidedly unpleasant one too. But the
remedy lies in the hands of the people.
Next November they can eloct a presi
dent whose lirst act will bo a dissolu
tion of the partnership between the
greatest republic and the worst land
grabbing empire on earth, and If pres
ent signs are not misleading they will
do It.

Sonator Morgan threw a bomb in tho
right direction whon he offered a reso
lution directing the senate commlttc un
interoceanic canals to investigate the
two canal trusts organized under the
laws of New Jarsoy, and report whether
the object of thcso trusts is to control
any canal built across the isthmus, or In
default of such control to embarrass
this government, and to prevont tho
construction of a canal. Senator Mor
gan says that In asking an Investigation
of the new Panama Canal Company, ho
did not Intend that the action on tho
Nicaragua canal bill, which was favor
ably reported to the senate last week,
notwithstanding Boss Ilanna's opposi
tion, should be delayed, but to "enable
the president of tho United States to
check, escape from and destroy tho con
spiracy, founded In fraud and corruption
and arrogance—against the highest
rights and privileges of tho puople and
government of the United States." Mr.
Morgan will try to got a vote on the
Nicaragua canal bill this week, but
success is doubtful, owing to Republican
opposition.
t t t
Secretary Root's second reply to a
senate resolution asking for a detailed
report of receipts and expenditures
under our military government in Cuba,
was only a little more satisfactory than
the first. The details are still lacking,
but the report makes it plain that the
charge of extravagant expenditures in
Cuba Is well founded. For Instance,
the civil salary list of tho Cuban
government for last year, exclusive of
$1,377,000 paid on what the report calls
the "labor pay roll," was $4,330,587.
Adding these totals together and more
than one-third of the total receipts—
slo,ooo,oo0 —are shown to have been
paid out for civil salaries, not to men
tion the cost of the military establish
ment, which is, of course, paid by the
United States government. How long
could a political party remain In con
trol of one of our states which spent
one-third of the state's receipts for
salaries?

Hon. J. I). Campau, Michigan's mem
ber of the Democratic national com
mittee, has been in Washington to
consult with Chairman Jonas on the
work of the campaign. He is conlident
that Michigan will go Democratic this
year. Speaking of the matter, he said:
"Even tho Republicans in Michigan
admit that the Democrats have reason
to feel encouraged. The opposition Is
in bad shape. The Ropublicans have
given a very bad state administration.
It cannot all bo laid at the door of
I'lngrea, because the legislature was as
bad as the officers ho appointed. If
there was ever a reason for turning tho
government party out, It exists In
Michigan. It is not a matter of politics,
but of common sense with regard for
the interest of tho stato. The Demo
crats will have a united party with a
strong organization to put up a good
fight."
t t t
The Republicans in congress are
afraid to adopt either of the resolutions
offered by Democrats in the sonate and
house for a congressional Investigation
of tho Cuban stealings. The total of
those stealings, already known, and the
number of officials already implicated,
makes the Ropublicans fear that an
investigation participated In by a few
fearless Democrats might trace soino of
the stealings to Washington, and im
plicate bigger officials than those now
known to have been in tho conspiracy
at the Cuban end of the line.
t t t
A number of Democratic senators and
representatives have launched a boom
for Representative McClelland, of New
York, a son of "Little Mac," the Demo
cratic candidate for president in 1884,
as vice president on tho ticket with
Colonel Bryan and are pushing It
activoly.

PUBLIC OPINION.
Opinion* From Vnrloun Sources OA
Unmtlomi of the Day.
The attempt to make three-quarter
citizens out oY the Porto Ricans is cer
tainly original.—Ex-Speaker Reed.
General Whaelor's estimate that only
one-sixth of 1 per cent of the popula
tion of the Philippines has been fight
ing us is dreadfully unkind, unless it
is humlliattngly true. —Chicago News.
Teddy Roosevelt does not want the
vice presidency. Of course not. But
then Teddy Roosevelt was never yet
caught running away from an office —
unless mere was another office in sight.
—St. Louis Republic.
In this mattor of recognizing polyga
my President McKinley is for once
consistent. He has given his official
sanction to this practice in Sulu and is
equally liberal with regard to it in
Utah.—Chicago Democrat.
Has none of the Hapublican man
agers in Kentucky any knowledge of
the mysterious Brutus who came out
of the mountains to assassinate Goe
bel? Or are they all 'honorable men?'
—St. Louis Post Dispatch.
Porto Rico under the American flag
will enjoy the same privileges and the
same immunities as the citizens of the
United States and territories of the
Union.—From General Miles' procla
mation on invading the island.
I believe that the Porto Rican tariff
bill is clearly unconstitutional and vio
lates all our agreements with an i
pledges to the Porto Ricans. If I were
in the senate I should certainly vote
against it. —Ex-Senator Edmunds.
Hon. William McKinley In the Phil
ippines and the Marquis of Salisbury
in South Africa are the twin evangels
of Anglo-Saxon civilization, and civ
ilization of that type is not concerned
with past pledges. It is out for the
stufT.—Chicago Chronicle.
Senator Hanna, the keeper of the
president's conscience and interpreter
of the oracles (duty, destiny and the
various trusts), also favored the house
bill, and especially the tariff provisions.
He said that "from a party point of
view the tariff ought to remain."—Bal
timore Sun.
Presidently McKinley ought to give
more attention to the Porto Rican pa
pers. They are telling the truth in a
frank, manly way, and are making
Americans who are not "in politics"
and not dependent upon campaign con
tributions blush with shame at the in
justice of which Porto Ricans are the
victims.—Baltimore Sun.
McKinley, Foraker and all the rest
of the imperialists are agreed as to one
thing. And that is that the people of
our new acquisitions have no rights
under the constitution of the United
States; that the only rights they have
are those which congress in its sover
eign pleasure may be pleased to grant.
—Chicago Chronicle.
The people of lowa are unalterably
opposed to the establishment of any
tariff between the United States and
any territory acquired as a result of
the Spanish-American war the people
of which accepted the sovereignty of
this government without resistance
and voluntarily passed under the Ju
risdiction of its legislation and laws.—
lowa House of Reps, (unanimously).
To borrow a Bible quotation, "A
house divided against itself cannot
stand." Paraphrasing Lincoln's dec
laration, I may add that this nation
cannot endure half republic and half
colony—half free and half vassal. Our
form of government, our traditions,
our present interests and our future
welfare all forbid our entering upon a
career of contest. —W. J. Bryan.
"Our plain duty," said President Mc-
Kinley, "Is to abolish all customs tar
iffs between the United States and Por
to Rico, and give her products free ac
cess to our markets." It is not Repub
licanism to defend the denial of plain
Justice. Neither is it good morals.
Nor good policy. It can
least of all by American exprfhsionists.
It is rank imperialism.—Philadelphia
North American (Rep.).
The secretary of war acknowledges
29 suicides among Roldiers in the Phil
ippines in a period of leas than one
year, and it is the Judgment of careful
observers that this has been nearly
doubled, If the full truth were known.
Many deaths reported as accidental
gunshots or drownings were in reality
suicides. The fact Is such a life,
whether in the regular army at home
or in the Philippines, has a depressing
demoralizing effect. Separated from
the influences of home, mother, sisters,
friends, men grow coarse, brutal, reck
less; life becomes unbearable to the
better grade, and thus a larger propor
tion of officers than privates commit
suicide. War is horrible, army influ
ences degrading and too much cannot
be said in its condemnation. The
leaders of the two great Christian na
tions have an awful record of crime to
answer for. And these are but few
of the attendant curses of militarism. —
People's Advocate (Meadville).
The Republican state convention In
Ohio, notwithstanding Mark Hanna
was manager, gagged at the Porto Ri
can dose, and refused to indorse it in
words and repudiated it by implica
tion. It declared in its platform that
congress has full power over the terri
tories of the United States, but—mark
you—"in harmony with and subject
to the fundamental safeguards of our
free institutions, for liberty, Justice
and personal rights." What are the
"fundamental safeguards" but those of
the constitution of the United States?
Therefore the constitution applies to
the territories, which is the very thing
the Republicans in congress and the
administration have asserted the con
stitution dots not do. Of course all
this is a Juggle with words; but it is
significant that In the president's own
state McKinley imperialism has to be
hedged and sugar coated with phrases
that virtually repudiate it. Evidently
there is alarm and aprehension In
Ohio.—Pltt&burg Poet,

weary from pain and the torture of

you should be low-spirited and de

almost from the first dose, and in a few

SALT LAKE.
It la Gradually Disappearing Through
Several Causes.
The popular outing and picnic
grounds of Salt Lake City Is the Great
Salt Lake. Thither they start Satur
day afternoons, In flue weathef, which
Is the role here —every Saturday in
droves. Hut what if Salt Lake should
disappear? Already the lake, through
evaporation and other causes, is great
ly reduced in size, uud tills, too. with
in the memory of men still living.
What effect the ultimate disappear
ance of this body of water will have
upon the wonderfully rich and fertile
valley which the original Mormon em
igrants pre-empted, settled and made
to blossom as the rose, It Is too soon
to prophesy, hut Its gradual disap
pearance Is regarded with forebodings
ami dismal apprehension by landhold
ers In that neighborhood. To one who
has never lmthcd In Its waters the
lirst experience Is niiiiiiic. At Gnrtield
Beach, where you can make n dive or
jump from a considerable height, you
naturally. If you have not been fore
warned, expect to enter the water all
over, hut in the Great Salt Lake, so
brackish is it, that it is all hut impos
sible to go in over your head, or. If
diving, over your feet. When you first
strike the water you have the feeling
of having landed head ou against a
pneumatic cushion, for the further In
you go the greater becomes the force
opposing your entrance. Not the least
wonderful thing In connection with
this lake is Its altitude, lying as It
does 4,1200 feet above sea level.
Compared to the waters of the Dead
Sea. those of Salt Lake are compara
tively fresh. All water carries a per
centage of salt, and in both the eases
of the Dead Sen and the Great Salt
Lake there Is no outlet to the lakes—
uud they mniutaln their levels through
evaporation. Through the countless
centuries during which they have ex
isted this salt, since it does not evap
orate, has accumulated until these
bodies of water have attained their
present brackish condition.
Bathing in the Dead Sea is really
fearful. Iu the lirst place, you are so
buoyed up by the water as to literally
lie on Its surface, and after a hath In
it you are almost as sticky as you
would have been had you taken a
plunge Into a hogshead of molasses—
a state you must en.lure for some
time, as fresh water does not lie near
It. It is only to lie able to sn.v after
ward that you have bathed in the wa
ters of the Dead Sen that induces you
to take that nauseous plunge. The
Dead Sea, as you look from its bor
ders, Is seemingly surrounded by lofty
hills, hut when once you reach their
summit and your eye again roves over
the level stretehs of plain, you come to
a realization of the filet that the sea
lies below the crust or surface of the
earth, and what you had taken for
hills were simply the sides of the In
dentation or cup in which it Is sunk.
But even Salt Lake bathing is an ex
perience as delightful as it is novel. It
is impossible to drowu iu Its briuy
waters.
