before Congress meets again whether
Sampson or Schley won the battle OF
Santiago. Technically Admiral Samp-
son won it. on the principle that General
Halleck took Fort Donelson; but actual

the naval board to balance technicslities

from his wife in the courts OF San Di.

with her parents at Franklin, Idaho,
and did not know that proceeding
had begun until she received a copy
OF the decree granting the divorce.
Mrs. Davis was we'll liked here, and if
open to any censure at all, it was for
devotion to a man whose brutality was
only too apparent. She has the SYM

happy affair.
We heard some talk this week Of q
projected telephone line from Cherry
Creek to the Wells. 1t Is to be hoped
that this will not prevent the erection
OF the line between Ely and Cherry,
as the latter would not only connect
Cherry Creek with the Western Union
telegraph line at Eureka. but also
with the county seat and with !Ham-
ilton. We would like to see both lines
built, but il only the one line can be
built it seems to us that the shorter
and cheaper line this way should re-
ceive the support Of the people of
Cherry Creek.

Too Much rloney in Politics.

''The extreme northwestern
counties have become accustomed
to the kind of campaigns that are
conducted with money. Sibley did
not introduce, though he may have
developed the system. The late
William l.. Scott was twice elected
to Congress from a district COM
posed of Erie. Crawford and
NenangO counties and the methods
employed were perfectly well I'M
derstood. There are a number of
counties in the eastern part of the
state where money is freely used
to make politics go. but there is no
section of the state where bribery
and corruption have been made so
much a fine art and have won 50
many undeserved triumphs as in
the northwest. Crawford county
has long been a reproach; it was
such years before Sibley had any
thing to do with it, and he made it
no better.
1t is a misfortune and humilia-
to the whole state that the corrupt
use of money, the petty notions of
patronage which seem to possess 50
many people, and unworthy
motives of revenge should have
defeated Charles w. Stone, one of
the most useful and deserving of
the Pennsylvania delegation in
Congress. 1t is a calamity and a
crime for which those who are
responsible will sooner or later
suffer. But we are unable to agree
with our Kane contemporary that
because the counties have been
corrupted this time they are likely
to be permanently Democratic.
We do not believe that the recent
canvass could be repeated in that
district, and those who are guilty
of the shameless betrayal of the
Republican candidate will easily
feel the disgrace of their own work
before Sibley has served out his
term. Philadelphia Press.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From oar Regular Correspondent)
WASHINGTON, Nov. 2Sth. 1S9

President Mckinley has about
finished his annual message to
Congress, except that portion deal
ing with the treaty of peace. Spain
has accepted our terms, and it is
expected that the treaty will be
signed in time to enable the Prcsi-
dent to get as many Of its details
as it is deemed eXpedient to make
public in his message.
There is no uneasineSS in admin
istration circles about the ratifca-
ton Of the treaty of peace by the
Senate, although several Republi-
can Senators and number of
Democratic Senators are talking
against ratification. The only
thing that the opposition can do is
to delay ratification by preventing
a vote at the coming session. 1t
would be better, of course, that the
treaty should be promptly ratified,
but inasmuch as we shall have
everything in our own hands, and
as there is no intention to govern
the newly acquired territory in any
other way than by military rule,
for at least q year, the delay will
make no material difference, even
if it extends to the end of the COM
ing session of Congress. The
President can easily call an extra
session of the Senate, which will
be strongly Republican after the
fourth of next March, to ratify the
treaty, and he can be sure that it
will be speedily done.
The necessity for a cable to
Hawaii is so apparent that it is re-
garded as probable that the bill
providing form of government
for Hawaii will also provide for
the laying of a cable, which shall
be subject to the control of this
government, if not actually owned
by it, No trouble is anticipated
in passing the Hawaiian bill,
whether it includes the cable pro-
vision or not.
President Mckinley finds it diff
ficult to repress a smile when some
prominent caller begins to tell him
the reasons-the same old reasons
that he has heard a thousand times
why the L. S. should not take
the Philippines. The President
never contradicts them. On the
contrary, he expresses the hearth
est agreement with a number of
these reasons. After his anti-eX-
pansion callers have exhausted
their reasons and arguments, the
President usually says something
like this: "Some of your reasons
are excellent, but there is one
glaring weakness in your position;
Cameron County press. [volume] (Emporium, Cameron County, Pa.) 1866-1922, 1898-12-01

you do not provide a satisfactory
way in which the Philippines may
be disposed of. Everybody admits
that we could not, with justice,
not to mention humanity, turn the
islands over to Spain again; the
natives are in no condition to
maintain an Independent govern
ment. Now, if the L. S. doesn't
take control of them, please give
me your opinion of what ought to
be done with them, bearing in
mind that to attempt to transfer
them to any European nation,
other than Spain, which is out of
the question, would almost GER
tainly precipitate great war."
Up to this time none of the anti
eXpansionists have suggested a way
for us to escape the responsibility
Of Philippine control, and only
few of them have made the attempt.
The L. 5. Consul at Edinburgh,
says in a report to the Department
of State: "American made agri-
cultural machinery is widely used
on the farms Of Scotland. Most
kinds Of machinery for farm pur-
poses, manufactured in the {. S.,
have long been preferred by farm
ers here, on account of price,
quality and design" The man
who would have predicted twenty
years ago that we should be selling
large quantities Of farming imple-
ments in any portion of the British
Empire, would have been consid-
cred fit subject for an insane
asylum. There is no telling to
what extent our trade will grow in
the next twenty years, if the wise
policy, which has always been
feature of Republican National
administrations shall be continued
without interruption. Nothing is
likely to stop the expansion of our
foreign commerce in every direc-
ton, owing to the improbability
that the democrats will be in a posi-
ton to saddle any more disastrous
tariff experiments on the country
for a long time.
Notwithstanding reports to the
contrary, there was no significance
in the ordering of Maj. Gen. NJ. c.
Butler, one of our Military Com
issioners, at Havana, to Washing
ton, further than that the PreSi-
dent and Secretary Alger desired
to have the benefit of the knowl-
edge acquired by Gen. Butler
during his stay in Cuba, while ar
ranging the necessary orders. for
carrying out the military occupa-
ton of the island. After comforting
with the President and Secretary
Alger, Gen. Butler will be ordered
back to Havana.
Those democrats who jumped to
the conclusion that the announce
ment that this government would
maintain the 'open door policy
in the commerce of the Philippines
meant that there was to be free
trade with the islands simply ex-
posed their ignorance. The term
"open door has long been used in
Europe, and means, not free trade,
but an equal footing for all. In
other words, all countries will be
allowed to trade with the Philip
pines upon the same conditions.
