Secretary Ixing wado short work
of tlie absurd story Hint lie saw and
approved the proofs of t lint portion
of the third volume of Mnclay'R
IliHtory of (lio Navy which refers
to Hour Admiral Schley ns a coward
by ordering Commander Wntn
wright, superintendent of tlifl nnvnl
academy, to strike tlio volume from
tlie list of text books used. In ad
dition, tlie secretory ninde public a
statement in wliioh lie said: "1
know nothing of Maelay's intem
perate abuse of Admiral Kchley and
it is absurd to sny that I would en
dorse his language when he calls
Admiral Schley a coward. Admiral
Schley is no coward. No one in the
servico who knows him has ever
for n moment doubted his bravery
or gallantry in action." Of tlio
publication alleging the navy de
partment to be opposed to a con
gressional investigation of Admiral
Schley's conduct in the West Indian
campaign. Secretary Long said : "It
is nnjust to the department to say
that it will oppose any investigation
of Admiral Schley's conduct in the
West Indian campaign. As a mat
ter of fact 1 wrote a letter to Sena
tor Halo, chairman of the naval af
fairs committee of the senate, -during
the last session of congress in
which I asked him to havo nn in
vestigation of this entire Sampson
Schley matter by a committee of
senators or a joint committeo of
both houses."
Gov. Allen of Porto Ilico passed
through Washington en route to
Canton to confer with President
MeKinley concerning the proclama
tion declaring free trade between
the United States and Porto Rico.
Gov. Allen was read enough to
talk about Porto Rico and its steady
increase in prosperity and bright
future, but ho smiled and changed
the subject when he was asked if
Mie report that he would resign the
governorship and not return to
Porto Kico was true.
Mr. William Vaughn, chairman
of tho Alabama republican state
committee, who is in Washington
on business, said: "It looks as
though the republicans in the con
stitutional convention of Alabama
might have a deciding vote, al
though they are only 15 or 20 out of
155 delegates. It is already evident
that the democrats are badly divid
ed among themselves." On the snf.
frage plan they have presented two
different reports, and the best dem
ocrats in tho convention and of the
state are against the 'grandfather'
clause. Senator Pottns has declared
that its adoption would be unwise,
and Senator Morgan has said quite
as much. Then there is a perplexity
about the piyment of the poll tax
as a prerequisite for voting. One
of the democratic members of con-
gross has investigated and found
that the negroes in the black belt
pay 14,000 poll taxes, where the
whites only pay 6,000 To bo sure,
tho negroes are largely in the ma
Jority there, but the democrats are
not certain that the poll tax provi
sion will give them any great aid in
suppressing the negro vote. The
convention will probably be in ses
sion until Christinas before it
Btntiglitoud out uli the tangles."
If Mr. James L. Norris, the Pis
tiiot of Columbia member of the
democratic national committee
knows what he is talking about,
Mr. Bryan has lost his hold upon
thai committee, although he had
been generally supposed to thor
oughly dominate a majority of its
members, as well as upon the Ohio
democracy. Mr. Norris declares
vory positively that he has received
letters from a majority of tho mem
bers of tho democratic national
committee endorsing the action of
the Ohio convention in throwing
Bryanism overboard. That decla
ration ought to furnish Mr. Bryan
withuateriiil for a little serious re
flection because if it bo truo it
means that he has bejn deposed as
the democratic loader.
Secretary Long has approved the
rejxirt of the naval examining board
the first of its kind for uiuny
year that Lieutenant Annan
llartrath is morally disqualified for
promotion from the engineer corps
to the line and recommended, to the
president that llartrath be dropped
from the naval lit-t with a year's
pay as p-ovkloJ bylaw. Ilavtmih
THE WASHINGTON
was appointed to thenaval academy
from Michigan in XR84 nnd since
April, 11101, has been attached to
the receiving ship Independence
stationed at Mare Island navy yard.
Col. Dick Plunkett, who lives in
Oklahoma, mid, Inst before leaving
Washington in order to bo present
at the distribution of the land? in
that territory, to be opened to set
tlemcnt August Cth : "I nm glad to
see flint ex-Governor Richards of
Wyoming, assistant commissioner
of the general hind office, is to bo in
ch.irgo of the drawing of lots. This
lottery business is a new proposi
tion and if it should not prove suc
cessful there would be n, flood of
complaints. Ex-Goveinor Richards
is a Western man and the settlers
know this and feel that ho will
look out for their iuterests and give
equal justice to all. He has famil
iarized himself with tho location of
tho tract to bo opened up, and I
feel that Secretary Hitchcock could
have made no wiser selection."
Third Assistant Postmaster Gen
eral Madden followed up Postmast
er General Smith's orders fur such
execution of tho law as will shut
out all publications not clearly en
titled to tho privilege of second
class mail, with a letter to post
masters informing them that their
bondsmen are liable to ho held for
any losses incurred by the govern
ment tlirongh their failure or neg
lect to curry out the law in ac
cordance with the postmaster gen
eral's orders.
Arguments Against. Woman Suffrage.
Tho following is iioni an address
delivered by Louis F. Post of Chi
cago before the National Suffrage
convention in Minneapolis:
"I do not feel so competent to
answer the arguments against equal
suffrage as to wonder at them. It
is said that women have not the
timo and strength to voto. As for
strength, I have voted for years
and I have not found that it takes
much strength to take up a piece of
paper and give it to a great muscu
lar man, who drops it into the bal
lot box for yon. As for time, the
objectors say you should influence
your husband and sons, but it io
easier to go to the polls and cast
a vote yourself than to got your hus
bands and sons to go. They say it
will brush the bloom from woman
hood, and then those same objectors
fall to praising Queen Victoria, her
wise government, hor womanliness,
her faithful wifehood and mother
hood. If a woman can govern a
nation and still be a good wife and
mother, and best of all keep the
bloom of womahood, why cannot
the average woman cast a vote and
do it?
"Suffrage is a right and not a priv
ilege. That it is a right of evory
individual is tho only basis for
women demanding it. If it is not a
right but a privilege that may bo
granted to men nnd withhold from
women, bo granted to tlio white
and withheld from tho black, be
given to those who have red hair,
kept from those with black hair ;
if it may be rightfully granted to
the millionaire and kept from the
day laborer, rightfully extended
to those who can read and withheld
from those who cannot, or to those
with a college education and from
those who only have a common
school education, if these are the
only bases on which womon claim a
share in the process of government,
then the fundamental argument for
woman suffrage disappears.
"Reason far back enough on the
privilege line of argument, and you
soon come to that fetish of tradi
tion, the divine right of kings."
A Children's Frolic.
Last Friday afternoon a lover of
children could not have failed to
appreciate tho very pretty sifjlit
that would have greeted the eyes of
a chance visitor to tho J anion
House. Gathered around a May
polo or enthusiastically hunting
peanuts were found a party of chil
dren royally entertaiued by Mrs
.lardou. lhe tiniest tot, Master
Everel Unsworth, triumphantly
carried off the first prize awarded
for tho greatest number of peanuts
found. The delicious refreshments
served as a grand finale to a de
lightful afternoon for tho little ones
and Mrs. Jardou's hospitality will
lOTig be remembered by them.

TRANSPORTATION OF CATTLE.
Neglect of Animals in Transportation
Diseases the Meat.
The problem of tho proper trans
portation of cattle is, like ninny
other questions connected with the
treatment of dumb animals, essen
tially a modern question. In times
when ench country must feed its
own, nnd the only way of getting
cattle or she-p or horses from one
place to nnothor was to drive them
in herds, under the care of a drover,
tho problem was in ono way simple.
The animals could not travel more
than a certain distance each day
without definite injury, which would
probably be visible to the prospective
purchaser when they arrive at their
destination. It was to the interest
of the drover, therefore, to be vory
careful.
With the advent of cattle-trains,
however, it became possiblo to
transport all sorts of live stock round
the world if necessary, in less time
than it used to take to cross a state
The railway takes the Texas steor
and lauds him in Chicago in a space
of time which must seem to his be
wildered brain nn eternity, but is
really but a few days. His treat
ment en route cannot well be so cruel
as to depreciate his ultimate value
in nny way which the purchaser enn
see ; moreover, iu such cases the
purchaser often buys on faith, nnd
pays without seeing. So long ns
most of the cattle got through nil
right, if u few die of neglect, orlnck
of water, or some othor cause, tho
seller's reputation is good. The prop
erty interest cannot be relied upon
in this matter of proper tentment of
dependents. It was estimated in tho
old days of slave-trading that if half
the cargo got through the dreaded
Middle Passago alive there was a
profit. The property interest was
no safeguard there. It never pro
tected any creature which could, be
ill-treated by a thoughtless or cruol
person with no immediate punish
ment. It is one of the charnteriBtics
of the callous and cruel mn,i, as a
rule, to, bo short-sighted. He sol
dom sees that in the long ran, hu
mane treatment is profitable.
In this case the trador and rail wny
man do not suffer much even when
their treatment of cattle la absolute
ly cruol. It is the pnblio which will
Buffer, and it is the public which
will therefore ha ve to take the matter
in hand. There is a great difference
in the systems of various railroads
nnd dealers in their treatment of
cattle and sheep, nnd some are much
more humane thnn others. But it
is not so very long since sheep were
packed like sardines in close cars,
without a drop of water during long
journoys, in the hottest of weather ;
and cattle were subjected to the
same treatment.
Such conditions breed filth nnd
disease j and diseased meat is not safe
for anybody to eat. It will prob
ably never he possible to ascertain
the number of deaths which have
resulted from the eating of impure
or diseased meat, and for every
death from this cause there are
many victims of disease. Sometimes
the ailment is obscure and insidunus,
but it is nevertheless there. Some
time ago there was a scare about
trichinae which resulted in many
people becoming Jews or Mohatn
modans where pork was concerned,
but much of the beef which comes
from cattle-trains where the animals
are packed together iu filth, discom
fort and thirst is not a bit more fit
for human consumption than meas
ly pork. In these days no man can
tell whore his butcher gets the meat
which is confidingly bought and
eaten by his customers. It tuny be
good, or it may not. It is time
that the treatment of cattlo, on
trains of transporcution and in
shods, during the time before they
are killed, should be regulated by
luw, and that everyone concerned
in their transportation and care
should be required to see that they
are in conditions as nearly healthful
as the difficulties of the case allow.

Hie barn of John Wohlfarth In
Shoholn wns struck by lightning July
(ith and with most of the contents
consumed. The loss, partially covered
by insurance through the ngency of
Hon. J. J. Hart, is about $1,500 nnd
the policy of $1,000 has been paid.
One reason offered ns an incon
venience of the new fashion is that
every lndy horse will be bound to
stop in front of every polished win
dow to soe whether her hnt is on

duct will provoke great delay to the
ordinary course of business.
At the adjourned hearing held
July 20, after hearing the evidence,
Chief Burgess Wolf fined Fred Myer

from Matamoras and Port Jorvis.
Rev. M. Seymour Purdy of New
Brunswick, N. J., who is supplying

His sermons are sucoinct and well
delivered.
Bass fishing here is excellont and
ninny good catches are bei'-g made
Tlie nsu are or nne size and run
quite uniform. Not many trout
have been taken this season 'and
the size has been small. Drouth
last summer and tho low water in
winter which allowed the streams
to freeze to the bottom probably
killed most of the fish.
The heat In the western states this
week was the worst in their history.
At several places in Missouri, Iowa,
Ohio, Illinois and Kentucky the
thermometer rose to 108. The co.-n
crop will probably be seriously af
fected and it is predicted will be one
third less than the usual product of
the corn growing bolt, which is
about two billion bushels.
Bonds have been tendered to and
accepted by H. L. Davenport and J
Victor Rosoncrance by the Milford

lands in Delaware township and
that company has done some work
during the past two weeks in the
vicinity of Cave bank. Later de
velopmnnts may inform us as to the
real motive for this aotivity.
The parties who have recently
purchased the eleotrio light plant
the gas oompany and the trolley
road in Port Jervis are said to con

Such a step will show thorn to be
level headed business men who un
dorstand how to make a profit. It
would be an excellent happening
for Port Jervis if this promise is
& fulfilled and would greatly boueflt

DEDICATION SERVICES.
Prominent Clergymen Present A
Joyful Occasion.
Dedicatory nervines held In tho
Church of the Good Shepherd Wed
nesday were largely attended.
Right Rev. Cortlandt Whitehead,
bishop of Pittsburg, was present
nnd preached the sermon. Ho was
ector here when the church wns
organized nnd services held iu the
old court rocm. The sermon was
reminiscent of tho early days of the
church nnd full of interest. The
music, which wns an especial ten
ure of the occasion, was excellent.
The solo by Miss Tate, a singer in
the Brick church, New York, "My
Song Shall Bo of Thoe," was beau
tifully rendered and in exquisite
nste. The quartet composed of the
Misses Corbott and Patty Biddis
nnd Messrs, Ed Crissrnnn nnd Viv
ian Struthers was especially fine.
The visiting clergymen who par
ticipated in tho services wore Arch
deacon Coxo of Scranton. Dr. Rog
ers of Brooklyn, Rov. Gnrdiner of
Lancaster, Rov. Rowland A. Saw
yer of Carbondale and Rev. Martin
Stockett of Sc John's church, Ding
man's. Tho services throughout
wore beautiful and impressive. The
seveial articles dedicated wore the
bnptistry and window, donated by
Dr. II. B. Reed and Mrs. Reed
memorials to Edward J. Reed nnd
Mrs. Pamela Austin Howard,
mother of Mrs. Roed ; the pulpit.
organ nnd choir stalls, donations
from the congregation ; a handsome
brass loctern, a memorial to Lance
lot W. Armstrong ; altar furnish-
ngs, cross, nlms basins, momorinls
to Isnno F. Baker, Ann E. Baker,
Edwin J. nnd Christopher Baker ;
altar book rest nnd candlesticks in
memory of Margaret S. Godney,
mother of Mrs. J. J. Hnrt.
The church since the addition of
the two transepts affords much
more room for tho growing congre
gation and they also ndd greatly to
its interior beauty. The orgnn and
choir occupy the one on the right
and the one on the left contains the
bnptismnl font.
In the nfternoon a reception was
tendered the bishop on the lawn of
E. H. Noyes.
At the afternoon services Dr.
Coxe preached the sormon, Bishop
Whitohend mnde the address to the
candidates and Mr. and Mrs. Horace

THE RAMBLER'S PICKINGS.
The Fourth of July celebration
nnd the incidental scraps enriched

distinction of having set up the first
issue of the Pike County Press
when the paper started noarly six
years ngo.
One of our ministers, though a
very busy man, yet takes the time
to visit the youth confined here in

The editorial in Inst wook's Press
defining crnalty to animals fully an

Some people here must drink con
siderable beer judging by the num.
ber of wngons carting the stuff in

have can be found in any town.
Democracy and Republicanism.
Very few of us can show a per
fect speoimen of the jewel of con
sistency, but the most oonspiouona
examples of inconsistency are the
editors who call their papers "The
Republican" or "The Democrat,"
and then refuse to publish an occas
ional artiole on woman suffrage.
A democracy or a republic is "a
country in whioh the people make
thoir own laws and choose thoir
own governors." A democrat or a
republican is a person who professes
to believe that the people of his
country have a right to make their
own laws and choose their own gov
ernors. Unless a man is feeble
minded or insane he can hardly deny
that women are "people" and yet
there are thousands of so-called
domoorats and republicans who
strenuously refuse to let the femin-
ine half of the people have any hand
in choosing their own governors or
making their own laws ; and if they
happen to be editors they emphn
sizetbeir inconsistency by naming
their papers "The Democrat" or
"The Republican."
However, there may bo some ex
cuse for them. Onoo when I was a
public school teacher I asked, in a
written examination, for the defini
tion of a democracy or republic.
One little girl wrote: "A democracy
is a country where the people make
their own laws and 'chews' their
own governors."
May be the anti-suffrage editor
of "The Republican" or "The Dem
ocrat" spells "choose" the way my
little pupil spelt it, and his need is
the same as hers, a little more edu
cation. Lida Calvert Obenohain.
Pan-American Excursion Tickets.
Until further notice the Erie will
sell the five day excursion ticket
from Port Jervis to Buffalo on
Tuesday and Thursday of each week
at the low rate of $7.75 for the
round trip. Remember these tick

day of sale, but are not good in par
lor or sleeping car. The regular
fifteen day excursion tickets to Buf
falo are on sale evory day at $11.50
for the round trip.

But her beauty was completely
