UK 11 VOL; V. JIILFOUI). 1MKK COUNTY, PA., Fill DAY. JULY LI, 1000. NO. 35. THE WASHINGTON LETTER. (Kroni Our HouUr Curii'spinlrnt.) Washinoton. D. ('., JllY B. 19(10. Secretary Ronr, after conferring with General Miles mid bis fellow members of tlio Cabinet has issued the necessary orders to start more than six thousand regular troops to the Philippines, the idea being to stop them in China if they nre need ed there when they pet that lar on their way. There is mill much doubt about the fate of the foreign ers in Pekin, one story following and contradicting another several times every day. Owing to the time that would necessarily elapse before the ofrtier powers could assemble an army on the coast of China large enough to forcibly take possession of and hold Pekin and other interior points, an agreement has been reached by the powers under which Japan will furnish ns large an army ns may be necessary and go ahead and perform the task of punishing the out law Chinese element and re storing law and order, the other powers agreeing to pay .Tnpnn a cash indomnitv, whichOhina will be made to repay later. The work of the Democratic Na tional Convention has made no ap preciable change in the political out look, and will not cause any mater, iul change in theprogrammeof work mapped out by the Republicans. The election of McKinley and Roose velt will be the logical outcome of existing conditions, but Republicans everywhere are to bo urged to work as though the result depended upon on eh man's individual efforts. The Democratic ticketand platform must bo taken seriously and the evil re sults that would follow Democratic victory be pointed out to every vot er. That is the Republican pro gramme. Thero is quite a little rumpus among those who managed tlio rec ent reception to the Boer envoys in Washington, and (he collection at the reception, which was announced to be for the benefit, of the widows and orphans of the Boer soldiers. (1,134 was collected supposedly for the widows and orphans, but after paying for carriages, fireworks, wine, etc., it seems that only (18 was left for the widows and orphans and the contributors are some of them saying ugly things about those who collected and disbursed the money. The memory of man is prover bially short, but Democratic mem ory must bo the shortest of the whole bunch. Only a little more than three years ngo, Hon. Adlai I. Stevenson was Vice-President, and as such presiding officer of the Hon ate, and was being blackguarded and abused by the silver Senators and the silver press for having sold out the interest of silver, which he pro fessed to believe in, because he would not do as the silverltes desired him to do. Whether Mr. Stevenson do served that abuse is noithor hero nor thero. Wnat attention is. cal led to is that the same men who abused him then have again nomi nated him for Vice- President. Mr. Stevenson is personally likod in Washington, but nobody believes, regardless of political cpinion, that he has strengthened the ticket by a single vote. Mr. Bryan is the whole thing and no votes will be cast for Bryan and Stevenson by anyono ex cerpt those who are' willing to endorse and swallow Brynnism and all that the term implies, just as Mr. Bryan forced the Kansas City Convention to swallow the 16 to 1 silver pill. General prosperity is reflected in the business of the U. 8 Patent Of fice, which was larger during the fiscal year just Dlosed than ever be fore, the cash receipts having been (1,358,288.35, and the number of patents issued 26,540. The Sultan of Turkey has made another specific promise to pay those American missionary claims, this time within ninety days. Secretary Hay has decided that Minister Straus shall not return to Constantinople until thoso clams are paid, and has instructed Mr. Griscou, who is in charge of the American legation in that city, to impress it upon the Sul tans mind that the money must be paid within the specified time. The Sultan wished bis promise kept se cret, owing to numerous European claims of a similar nature, and this information was not obtained from the Department of State, but from those more directly interested in the payment of t'u claims. Liberty Nover Degrade! Woman. Man has not been consciously un just to woman in the past, nor is he row ; but. he believes that she is in her line sphere, not realizing that he has fixed her sphere, and not (led as lie ii' -' -hies. This is as true of the biiil.aiian as of the Christian. and no more so. If the "unspeak able Turk" idionld be solicited to op en the doi rs of his harem and let the inmates become free, lie would he indignant, doubtless, afd would swear by the beard of the prophet that he never would so degrade lovely woman, who, in her sphere, was intended to be the solace of glorious, superior man Yet, as man advances w,mnn if elevated, and her elevation in turn advances him. No liberty ever giv en her has been lost or abused or re gretted. Where most has been gtv en her she has become best. Liber ty never degrades her ; slavery does. For her own good, therefore, she needs I he ballot. Woman's voto is needed for the good of others. Sho is an enemy of foreign war or domestic turmoil ; she is a friend of pence and home. Her influence fr good in many di rections would he multiplied if she possessed tho ballot. Bhe desires the homes of the land to be pure and sober; with her they may become so. Without it what is the pros pect ir. this regard. Politics must be purified or we are lost. To govern this great Nation wisely and well is not degrading service ; to it, all the wisdom, abil ity and patriotism of all the peoplo is required. No great moral force should bo unemployed. A LoVKK OF I.IBKH1Y. The Dancing Ukase. The modern and illustrious order of Dancing Ma-dors, in solemn con ference assembled has decreed that henceforth and hereafter,' the cere mony known as tho "round dance" shall 1)0 performed without the hug. Tho trousered light-fnntnstic-toer shall no longer be permitted to take a full arm group upon his nssister, but must lay three fingers lightly upon the renr centre of the diapha nous shirt waist, and standing as far away as bis reach may permit, gyrate decorously over the waxed floor The Dancing Masters are prepar ing the rope that will launch them into inocuous desuetude. The bles sed privilege whereby the youth can grab his charming partner wilh all the energy of a grizzly bear, and swing her off her feet, at the short corners has been the means of popu larizing the waltz and putting into the background tho stntely minuet and tho sleep provoking quadrille. Upon this popularity of the waltz the dancing masters have flourished and grown fat as their active voca tion will allow. Also they have grown autocratic and with the in ward promptings of the tyrant have demanded the nboljtion of the me feature that has given them n stand ing. Ktw Jerkty Foreigner. The saying that New Jersey is n foreign state comes down fsotn the time when Jos. Bona parte, cx-Kingof Spain and Naples, after thedownfall of Napoleon, sought fin asylum in the United States, as an alien he was obliged to obtain a special act of the legislature to enable him to hold real estate. Pennsylvania refused, but New Jersey consented, and ho established himself in princely mag nificence at Bordentown. Hence men of other States used humorous, ly to declare that tho Jerseymen vvith their foreign prince, were for eigners, nnd tho State not a part of the Union. A Chance Acquaintance.

Armstrongs & Cos, MORE RAILROAD SURVEYS. A corps of engineers hns been at work this week running n line from Matatnoras to Milford nnd from here westwardly through the county to meet, it is said, a survey now being made from Wilkesbarre in thin di rection. Oos. R. Perry, who bought the franchises of the Delaware and Anthracite R. R. Inst year, which was a successor of the old Lehigh and Eastern, nnd subse quently transferred' his rights to the Peoples Railway Co., was here this week and stated, we are im formpd that the snrvpy was being made in the interest of thr latter corporation. Engineers have recent ly been nt work in the western part orthis county, but no noe seemed to have information as to their object or the compnny employing them. Possibly if injunctions or other leg al obstructions retnrd, or prevent, the building of the new rond along the old canal in this State nnd the New York authorities finally grant permission to build over there, the new line, if built may be compelled to cross the river at Port Jervis and go through the central part of this county. We wish the promotors of the canal rond all success possible but it. would be a hnppy outcome for ns if in the end they were diverted n this direction. There are thous ands of acres of excellent arable land in the county which would nenrly adjoin sacli n route, which may n6ver be developed until a rond is brought in proximity to it. The summit of the Pocono mountain nlonR the lino of the D. L. & W. R. R. is being largely patronized as a summer resort, and we have in this county sites more advantageous and beautiful which only need facilities for access to become as fnmous as the Cntskills. There is no question as to the feasibility of a line across the centrnl portion of tho county and we hope in the effort to oon struet a road it may fall to our lot, after these long years of waiting and hoping, to have it cross in this di rection. Our Chinese Policy. The Presidont through a circular sent out by tne Department of State has clearly defined our policy in the Chinese matter. It is to adhere to the policy initiated in 1857 of peace with China, of futhornnce of lawful commerce and of protec tion of lives and property of our cit izens by all means guaranteed under extraterritorial treaty rights, and by the law of nations. If wrongs are done to our citizens we propose to hold the responsible authors to the uttermost accountability. The con dition at Peking is looked on as an archy and the responsibility devol ves on the locnl provincial authori ties. If they are not in collusion with the rebellion they represent the Chinese people with whom we seek to remain in paoce and friendship The President proposes to act con- currently with other powers in res cuing American officials, missionar ies and other citizers in danger, to afford protection to American life and property and guarding and pro tecting legitimate interests, and to prevent the spread of disorder and and a reourrenco of disasters. T! policy is bringing permanent safety and peace to China to preserve its tor ritory intact, and safe guard for the world the principle of equal and im partial trade with all parts of the Chinese Empire.

Y., and Sophia, residing in the Fatherland, survive. She was mar ried in 1853 nnd July 4, 1857, with her husband, came to Pike. They walked from Port Jervis to Ding- man's Ferry, where they resided for over a vear and a half and were rest lents of Delaware township until 1867 when they came to Milford which place has since Iteen her home and since the death ol her husband she has successfully conducted the Vttnderniurk House, which was for some years previously under his man ngement.

PICKED UP BY THE RAMBLER. In tho midst of life we are In death : How clearly this fact was Il lustrated last Friday when two pro minent ladies of this community died suddenly within one hour of each other. The Democratic party seems to have simmered down to one thing "William J. Bryan" and 18 to 1. Although a majority of the dele gates to National Convention were opposed to the adoption of tho 16 to 1 free silvor platform William had his way. The result will not be hard to guess. A few low places in our side walks filled up or the flag stones raised would prove a great convenience In wet weather nnd a few over bend branches cut off would sa ve the bats of some tall ladies. The Brick bouso school over in Montngne is still without a princi pnl, Miss Nettie Brink has been reen gaged as assistant at (20. per month, Alice Ramage will ngnin teach the Clove school, Blanche Young will tench the Nenrpnss and Miss Cris pin, of Newton, will teaoh the Riv er school.

Miss Preston is suffering from the effects of a broken wrist. Dr, Skinner, of Port Jervis, is treat ing her injury. We often hear it remarked this or that old farmer is no gentleman, because he has a "No Trespass" no tice on his property. Now does a farmer not have the right to control property he owns and pays taxes for? Or must he submit to have whosoever chooses to run over his fieids, tear down bis fences, confis cate his fruit etc Hardly. The other day I noted a young man and a young lady helping themselves to berries on a property where notices' forbidding trepass were in plain sight. Yet they paid no attention whatever to tho notice and came very near boing sassy when told they were intruding on private pro perty. Farmers as a rule are far from being hogs as they are some, times called, and no fair minded person will blame them for trying to protect what is their own. Logic and Lampoon. One of the prime reasons why the ministers who preach in all the "fashionable" churches are so en thusiastic in their support of the great Willie the Wobbler, is be cause under his prosperity adminis tration, working people do not earn enough money to support their fam ilies in comfort and then whack up with the preachers. The preach ers most of them at least only spout for pay, and they know where the pay comes from. And this is modern Christianity, Above is a specimen of rhyme, reason, truth and sensa used by the Democratic Bayonne, N. J. Budget to influence voters. Presumably the paper appreciates the intelligence of its readers at a full value when it attempts by such political cant to bias their minds. It is Bryanesque argument gone to seed, and like thistle down ready to be blown around to raise another crop which every thrifty person must spend a little time to exterminate. If work ing men are to be caught by such absurdities they ought to go back to the Cleveland, soup house, Demo cratic times and enjoy such life without a whine.
