Presented.
The American Economist of March

ial supplement an unique and inter
esting array of drawings and car
toons selected from the files of that
paper for the past three years. The
illustrations, Beveral hundred in
number, emphasize in a peculiarly
forcible manner the strength of the
doctrine of Protection as an active,
living political issue, and also dem
onstrates with what vigor and ag
gressiveness this doctrine has been
expounded by the American Tariff
League.
OUR DUTY TO CUBA.
CONOIiKSSMAN KltlKPATHICK EXPRESSES
HIS VIEWS.
In nn interview published in the
Philadelphia Inquirer the Member
from the Eighth Pennsylvania Dis
trict gives his ideas in untnistake
nhle language. He says : .
"It is the duty of this Govern
ment on the grounds of humanity,
and that interest, we have nlwnvs
taken in tho affairs of this continent
to directly intervene. The condi
tion of tho island, tho Utter failure
of -Spain to govern and control
and the desolation and destruction
of life and property that is going on
there justify us in directly inter,
veiling, nnd if our intervention its not
accepted by Spain, to intervene ef
fectually, oven if force is necessary,
It is no longer civilized warfare that
is being carried on in Cuba and time
and tho conditions existing there
demonstrate the utter inability of
Spain to maintain herdoininion over
the island. I nm therefore in favor
of direct intervention, peaceable if
possible, forcible if necessary. Wo
are sustained by the precedents nnd
practices of the civilized nations of
Europe under similar conditions.
The Maine Report.
President Mc Kinley in sending
the report of the Naval Court to
Congress nceompanied it with n mes
sage temperate in tone. The report
finds that the ship wns blown up
by a mine under the port side, but
was unable to find any evidenco fix.
ing the responsibility on any person
or persons. The President urges
that the nintter bo deliberately con .
sidered. Ho has simply confined
himself to a plain statement of facts
nnd closes by saying, "I do not per
mit myself to doubt that the sense
of justice of the Sp nish nation will
dictate a course of notion suggested
by honor nnd the friendly relations
of the two governments. It will be
the duty of the Executive to ndvise
the Congress of the result and in the
meantime, deliberate consideration
is invoked. "
Congress is anxious for intervention
and eager that the horrors of war in
Cuba should be ended nt once.
Meanwhile war preparations go on
with grent activity, and it is prob
able that the next few days will de
termine the question of war.
Early Mlnlslnk History.
Luke W. Brondbend is writing a
series of articles for the Stroudsburg
Times on tho old settlers of the Mini-
sink valley. The first is on the Do
Puy family, of which Robort R. De
Puy, lately deceased, wns the Inst
of the line in direct family name.
The article is replete with fncts
of interest, and no one in this section
is better qualified than the writor of
it to illume the early history of this
vnlley. His cnrefnl research, ndded
to the fnct thnt his life hns been
passed in it, ninkes his facile pen es
pecially eloquent in portraying the

A leading Philadelphia physician has expressed himself upon Milford
as a health resort ns follows: "Having spent several months in the
vicinity of Milford, I cannot speak too highly of it as a place for one in
search of health as I was, knowing as I do from personal experience what
it did for me. The elevation is right, the region accessible, tho climate
splendid nnd tho scenery superb. As a .non-malarial climate I can fully
indorse and can also highly reeommmul it to thone suffering from pulmon
ary troubles.
Several leading New York and Brooklyn physicians express them
selves in this manner:
"No bettor climate in which to gain health."
"I consider that climate equal to nny other for tuberculosis."
"As a non-malarial climate there is nono better."
"Situated most beautifully."
"Benutifulns far ns tho eye can reach. Plenty of purenir. water nnd
sunshine ; nil essential to tho securing
"I cannot seo why Milford should not rank among tho first places ns
a health resort."
"All you need to do is to spend a few days hero nnd you cannot find
words strong enough to praise its health giving properties."

H.Mdtisnui'd, March 2S Renewed
activity in State politics is the cause
of eonsiderablo bustling on the Hill
and since the Lancaster County
primaries nothing but the probable
chances of tho.various gubernatorial
candidates has been discussed, Sec
retary of the Commonwealth Mar
tin is of tho opinion that although
tho county stood by its old friend
Quay, ho was severely rebuked, for
tho majorities wore nothing in com
parison with those of a few years
ago. Senator Knnffman's defeat
considerably surprised everybody
for it was thought that his record
as an antagonist during the last ses
sion of the Legislature had won for
him many friends, but instead it ap
pears that Quay's lieutenants had
things pretty woll in hand, and they
succeeded admirably when the fact
is taken into consideration that the
opposition had thoroughly travers
ed tho district, meetings haying
been hold nightly at which Mr,
Wannmaker and Mr. Kauffman al
ways managed to be present and
attack tho Quay organization. How
ever, this had little effect nnd tho
result completely chocked Mr. Wan
amaker's day dreams. Had it not
been for his advisors insisting upon
his remaining a candidate it is more
than likely that tho ex-Postmaster
General would be out of the fight at
this date. Since the strong pres
sure has been brought to bear, how
ever, he has decided to remain in
the race to tho finish, and is confi
dent of securing the nomination ,
Since the establishment of head
quarters in Philadelphia with com
petent men in charge and the know
ledge of having secured the dele
gates in several counties, he is sin
cere in his statements to the effect
that he has a good show of being
the nominee. If it should occur,
however, that he looks strength to
socure the required number of votes
ho will do all in his power to assist
some of tho numerous candidates
who claim to ho standing on their
own merits, and not the tool of a
corrupt organization, just in order
to prevent any further tyrannical
domineering by his adversaries.
While General Wanamakor ia
making all these calculations Col
onel Wm. A. Stone oontinues fight
ing his battle on individual merits,
and is so dated over his recent suo
ousses that he pays no attention to
trash utterances aimed at him. Tho
Colonel is improving in health and
in a few days will again be able to
take porsonal command of his cam
paign , and it is needless to say that
he will make serious inroads on the
fences of opposing candidates, for
his popularity oontinues on tho in
crease, this proving his assertion of
some time ago that he is the people's
choice. Of the delegates already
selected Colonel Stone has a nice
majority and his nomination next
June is a foregone conclusion. Sen
ator Quay has not yet announced
illegionce to any candidate.
CONSTABLES WIN.
Tho Superior Court handed down
an opinion that will settle the vexed
question of Constables's fees. In
tho case of Wiliiam Price, a Con
stable, against the county of Lan
caster, the questions raised were,
first, can a Constable legally claim
circular miloage for exeouting a
warrant and serving the subpoena,
and, second, can ho recover fifty cts.
tor subpoening each witness. Judge
Wickham who wrote the opinion in
tho case, decides that the plaintiff i8
only entitled to be paid mileage ona
way at the rate of ten cents a mile, and
that for serving a subpoena the Con-
stable may, for each person named
in the process and actually served,
legally charge fifty cents. The Court
says :
"To hold that the offloer shall be
given only the same fee in every
case for serving the parties named
in tho subpoona would produoe in
equality and injustice and often
subject him to the temptation to
shirk tho full performance of hia
duty. Practically ho serves- the
writ every time he roads it to it
witness. The trouble and labor is
the same as if he had a separata
subpoena for each person named."
The decision will not settle tho
matter for the case will be carried
to tho higher court,
