THE PRICE SPAIN SET ON THE
PHILLIPINE ISLANDS.

"ln considering the money value of
the PHILIPPINE Islands it is interesting
to know that Spain herself, not so
many years ago, fixed the price and
put them into the market. The stu

cept that the negotiations were pure

that President Mckinley must satisfy

Spain, however, cannot yet believe
she will be deprived of the Philippines
without some pecuniary compensation
in addition to the Philippine loan of
1896. Therefore, upon the question of
the Philippines, the Spanish commits

sistance than they have made over the
Cuban debt.

tive view of the United States commits

MAY EXONERATE DREYFUS.
The French Court Hears Evidence Which
VIII Likely Clear Him of Trea-
son Against France.

PARIS, Oct 2S.-The belief is general
that the court of cessation will pro.
nounce neither for revision nor for an,
nulment of the decision in the Dreyfls
case, as either course would entail awl1.
ward consequences.
To avoid these it is expected the court
will decide that as the affair now pre-
sents itself there has been no treason
and that, therefore, the condemnation
pronounced upon Captain Dreyfus by
the courtmartial cannot be upheld.
Reporter Bard, among other test.
mony, referred to the fact that the ex-
perts who examined the bordereau diff
tered widely III opinion. NJ. Bard ex-
pressed the belief that if the bordereau
was the principal factor IN the con-
demnation of Dreyfus on the testimony
of experts his condemnation ought to
be revoked.
Great stress was laid by M. Bard on
Colonel Picquart's letter of July ID to
the minister of Justice, in which he
gave seven principal arguments against
the probability of guilt of Dreyfus, in
Guiding the impossibility of Dreyfus pro.
curing the plans of fortresSes and prof
ects for the movement of troops, unde-
tected. whereas Major Esterhazy had
free access thereto.
This letter also cites interviews which
Colonel Plcquart had with Generals
Billot and Come, when he said:
"Wlth the proof in my hands | have
established the innocence of Dreyfus. }"
To this General Come replied, &C
cording to the letter of the minister of
justice:
"What is it to you if Dreyfus is on
Devils island?"
Colonel Picquart But he is innocent.
General Gonze-You knew MERCER
(former minister Of war; and Saussier
(former military governor of Paris are
mixed up in this affair. Do you wish to
compromise them?
The letter then continued that on
leaving General Come, Colonel Pic
quart declared he was convinced of the
innocence of Dreyfus.
Further reference was made to Colonel
Picquart's charges that the ministry of
war and the general staff had tempered
with documents and had manufactured
evidence.

OUT OF CIVIL SERVICE.
"A Presidential Edict Expected Which
VIII Remove About 5000 From
Its Protection.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 28-It is under
stood that a presidential edict, remov-
ing a large number of government
offices from the civil service, probably
will be promulgated shortly before
Thanksgiving day. The order is one
which has been in contemplation many
months, having been deferred from time
to time, owing to pressure of war bust
ness. AS at present determined upon
the order will affect upward of 5000
places. 1t will include deputy collectors
of internal revenue, who are authorized
to become acting collectors, actually
serving in that capacity. There are
about 1000 of these deputies.
The largest class affected is the corps
of examining surgeons of the pension
bureau, of whom there are in all over
4,l00. There seems to be a general un-
Outstanding that it will be better to
have these left out of the civil service,
although Secretary Bliss, while under
stood TO favor such action, would not
recommend it. Over 5000 of these sur
geons are stated at the civil service
commission never to have been CLASH
fed under the civil service law. The
order Will clear up the misapprehension
as to the actual status of the whole
corps and place them all outside.
About - office deputy marshals here
tofore reported as classified but con-
corning whose status there has been
some doubt because of their being in the
judicial branch of the service, are ex-
pected to be placed in the exempt class.
There are other scattering. positions, in
GLIDING some of tiduciary and conn
Dental character, which will aggregate
possibly several hundred. This is the
scope u the order as now outlined in
Official quarters, but 1t is subject to fur
ther mod. cations before being finally
passed upon.

The Republican party IN this state
is divided, and many republicans are
awaiting the action of the Altoona
Convention to see what the Demo-
Gratis are going to do. If a strong
platform on state issues shall be adopt
ed, and candidates shall be nomi-
mated who can not only hold the silver
Democrats, but recall the gold Demo
Gratis to their support, and at the
same time furnish ticket for which
the anti-Quay republicans can vote,
the chances for Democratic success
this year will be bright.
1t is good politics always to take
such action as will draw men into the
party. 1t may be some satisfaction
to denounce those who have tempor-
arily left us, and to threaten them
with dire political punishment for
having departed from our way of
thinking, but it is bad politics. Men
cannot be compelled to return to the
fold, and renew their allegiance to
the party by threats and denunciation,
and when there has been division in
the ranks there must be concession
on both sides.
Many who did not endorse the
Chicago platform in 1896 are now
ready to return TO the party this year
and give it their hearty support on
state issues. They claim that they
are Democrats and always have been,
though differing with the platform of
1896 on the money question.
If the prodigals desire to return,
we ought at least to open the door
and permit them to come in, though
they can hardly expect the party to
go to the length of killing a fatted
calf for them. If they will now turn
in and help us to success this year, it
ought to count something in condona-
ton for what they did in helping to
defeat us in 1896. While we would
not favor admitting gold Democrats
to the councils and leadership of the
party until their repentance shall
prove to be true and lasting, we need
their help now, and one of the matters
of Importance to be considered at
Altoona is how best to get it. The
hot-heads to whom vengeance is
sweeter than success, should be turn
ed down, and the counsel of clear
minded and even-tempered men ol
judgment should prevail.

THURSDAY, JUNE 16, 1898.

The Democratic State Convection
will be held In Altoona on June 2oth.
Among the names that have been
mentioned as active candidates for
Governor are Judge Gordon of Phila-
delphia and James M. Guffey of Pitts
burg. Judge Gordon was an aggres-
sive participant in the campaign of
1896 as an opponent of Bryan and
the Chicago platform, and it is not
likely that he can bring the two wings
of the party together. Gufey on the
other hand could not get the support
of the gold Democrats. The Altoona
convention will act wisely if it shall
nominate man for Governor who
can draw votes to the party instead of
driving them over to the opposition.
Other names have been suggested,
among them George A. jerks, Sena-
tor Cochran, and Ex-Congressman
Wolverton. If he could be induced
to accept the nomination Mr.. Wolver-
ton would make strong candidate.
His great ability as lawyer, his high
reputation as man of integrity and
honor, and his not being Extensively
identified with either branch of the
party, would give us candidate upon
whom all Democrats could unite, and
if elected, would give Pennsylvania
Governor OF whom she could we'll be
proud. Factonal fights have rent
and divided the Democratic party in
this state too long, and the large and
growing republican majorties are
owing more to this than to any other
one thing. When we have chances
for success, they are weakened or
destroyed by the blunders forced upon
the party by the factional leaders. If
we can drop this sort of thing, and
act wisely this year may be, and will
be Democratic year for the old
Keystone.

THE JUDGESHlP,
70 tie E6itor ofMe Columbian .

To tie Editor ofMe Colum6ian
The political situation with refer.
ence to the judgeship in this district
invites to some levelheaded thinking
on the part of men who are anxious
to secure fit judge during the next
term of ten years.
In the first place it is clear that
the primary election of Saturday last
was unofficial and voluntary and i'm
posed no binding obligation upon
Democratic voters of the county, un-
der party Law. For the time fixed
by that party law is tile Saturday be-
fore the second Tuesday OF August
in each yeal, and the plain rule es-
tabnshing that date has never been
repealed or changed by any compe-
tent authority : it might have been
changed by the last annual conven-
tion but was not, because the friends
of change were afraid to submit the
question of new rules to a convention
vote.
1t follows that every Democratic
voter of the county is perfectly free to
withhold his vote from any candidate
standing as such upon last Saturdays
vote A; though that vote may be
accepted as indicating public or party
opinion with reference to individuals
at the time it was cast, and upon un-
contested nominations as satisfactory
and sufficient.
One popularity deserving of notice
marked the late judicial contest the
issue was not SO much between Judge
Ikeler and Mr.. Little as between the
friends and the opponents of the
judge himself. The canvass develop
ed personal antagonisms to the latter,
accompanied by an unprecedented
amount and variety of newspaper
criticism and denunciation to such an
extent that the candidate named
against the judge measurably escaped
attention and adverse remark.
But we are now confronted by the
possibility of a new and important
change of situation by the appearance
OF the Republican party upon the
scene of contest for, on the one
hand, the Democracy of the district
is now and may continue to be either
in form or in fact or in both respects
divided until the election; and, on
the other, the Republicans may seek
by presenting a candidate to achieve
triumph of their own. That they
are not entitled to such advantage is
perfectly plain ; for, as minority in
the county, they have already an as
sociate judge and it would be unrea-
sonable to assign to them the control
of the court upon all questions of
county administration and business
by yielding to them the president
judge, political majorities in bo:h
counties are Democratic, and it COM
ports with fair play and justice that
those majoritles should have the
principal voice in selecting the presl-
dent judge. X
