Col. Bryan has resigned from the army
and is now plain William Jennings Bryan
once more. During his military career
Mr. Bryan's specially, free silver, has
suffered serious decline in popular esti-
nation and in fact became a subject
neither talked of nor thought. about. Per-
haps this is due partly to the fact that
MIR. Bryan's lips have been sseled and
have not been able to chant in their en-
chanting way the praises of the white
metal. If SO. now that his lips are I'M
sealed we may expect a revival of the in

Senator Quay has succeeded in STAYING
off his trial on a criminal Indictment
against him for several weeks at least,
and perhaps for several months, by means
of process which has never been resorted
to but twice or three times in the history
of the state. This is accounted by his
friends great victory, but one would
Suppose that gentleman SO anxious to
press the case for trial as Senator Quay
professed to be when the Indictment was
made public would not have resorted to an
unusual process to get the case put over.
But perhaps the Senator has placed him
self entirely in the hands of his lawyers,
snbordinating his personal preferences and
his anxiety for speedy vindication to
their calmer and more cautious methods
of securing an acquittal.

Congressman Dingley is reported in an
Interview published in the New York
World as saying:
tAfter the first year, these various &C
QUESTIONS, however they may be organ
lied, whether as independent countries,
as colonies, as countries under protecto-
rate, will be self supporting. They will
cost us nothing except for military es-
Establishment and for the represen tatives of
the United States-Governors, marshals,
judges of the higher courts, perhaps"
eWill cost as nothing except for military
establishment ETC. The exceptions have
tremendous possibilities of expenditure.
A military establishment of 40, 600 or
90, 900 men is likely to be pretty expensive
even If it is called upon to do no fighting
If it has to fight, as in all probability
orr army in the Philippines will, then
the expenditure will be larely increa sed.
But the expense will by no means end
with the army and civil affairs. If we
hold distant colonies we must be pre-
pared to defend them. and to properly
defend colonies IN the Pacific ocean CUR
rounded by water big navy will be need
ed. By reason of her numerous colonies
England has to maintain navy double
the size and effective strength OF any
other nation. and with our extensive sea-
coast at home, our possessions in the
Caribbean sea and in the Pacific ocean we
cannot get along with navy very much
inferior. Established in the Pacific ocean
we shall inevitably be drawn into con-
troversies among the European powers,
and the danger of war will be constant :.
Hence we shall have to maintain an army
and navy big enough to defend our colo
niles against some of the great powers of
Europe or suffer the humiliation OF
having them taken from us, as Luzon
and Porto Rico were taken from Spain.
Sea colonies may be source Of strength
to us possibly if we have navy big
enough 10 defend them, but without that
| they are source of weakness.

DOYLE'S GREAT RECORD.
The Man who Put the Circle on the Ticket
Makes a Quick Count.

For the irst time in the history of Cass
Twp. were the election returns of that sectisn
sent all over the county on the night of cleo
ton. John T.. Doyle who is well known in
Shenandoah, was clerk of the election board,
and he beat all records by having the 300
ballots counted at 1890 o'clock This speedy
work will be the better appreciated when it
is known how much cutting was done, by
Muldoon receiving 255 votes to Snyders 30
Under the circumstances this was the quick.
est counting done at the recent election.
While speaking about elections, says the
Pottsville Republican, it might be news to
our readers to state that the above John T..
Doyle, of Cass Twp, is the gentleman who
had the circle placed at the head of each
ticket for the purpose of voting a straight
ticket. When the law was first made the
ballots contained no circles and as con-
sequence there were much doubt and con
fusion on the election boards. Mr.. Doyle
was then borough auditor of Shenandoah
where he designed the present ballot. He
also offered ten amendments to the Baker
ballot law, six of which were accepted and
embodied in the new law Senator Baker
complimented Mr.. Doyle for all of his sug.
gestions in regard to the law that bears his
name, and for the ripe intelligence he ex-
hibited in analyzing its various sections. Mr..
Doyle is graduate of the mines and the
public schools and is one of the brightest
young men in the Anthracite coal region
With voice and pen he has always stood by
the cause of labor and has earned the title of
the 'workingmen's champion orator."
Mr. Doyle will be the Democratic nominee
for the Legislature in the Second district in
1900, and already has fourteen popular dele
gates appointed from above and below the
mountain. The reporter predicts for him a
unanimous nomination, and if he be elected
the people of the Second district and the
miners of the whole Anthracite region can
rest assured that they will have an able
champion of their rights, and one who will
be able to oppose law injurious to their in
terests, as well as father measure in their
behalf If labor wants to win anything at
Harrisburg it must have a voice there, and
we know of nORe coming from the ranks of
the miners better qualified to fill this position
than Mr.. Doyle.
From speeches that he has made and able
articles that he has written, the young orator
from Cass has already made many warm
| friends among the workingmen OF both poll.
teal parties who are awaiting an opportunity
| to vote for him for legislative office. Elect
him and labor can rest assured that he will
be heard from. He has nothing to fear from
corporations as he seeks no privileges from
them.

The Evacuation of Camp. Meade.

Middletown, Pa, Nov. 16-Camp
Meade will exist only in memory after
tomorrow. The troops are being ship
ped away at the rate of three regiments
a day, and inside of "a hours all will
have gone to the southern camps. A
battalion of regulars will be brought
here to guard the commissary and quar-
termaster's warehouses and other gov
ernment property. The war depart
ment officials are much pleased with
this location for a camp, and it is prob
able that the Second corps will return
here in the spring. This is, of course,
IL these troops are not sent to Cuba for
garrison duty or the war with Spain
is renewed. There is a probability
mat this will be made a permanent
barracks If the regulars keep well dur
ing the winter.
