Talking Through Their Hat.

The Emporium Independent of this
week, says; The Democrats will elect
this fall, a President and Vice Presi-
dent, and in this district Congress
man, Representative in the General
Assembly and Prothonotary. This
will be light task and we have money
OF the result. Come now" How do
the Republicans of Cameron county,
particularly those who propose to help
elect Democratic Congressman, a
Democratic Representative in the
General Assembly and a Democratic
Prothonotary, enjoy that kind of boast
ing three months before the election :?
Is it not conclusive evidence that the
Democrats Of the district look upon
Lewis Emery, Jr., as q Democrat :?
Are men who support the tickets
named in Cameron county any longer
Republicans We think not.-Kane
Republican. The political editor of
the Independent after consulting a
few disgruntled politicians, known as
the Insurgent-Bryan clique and filled
with bright promises for the voters to
be fooled with-the identical same
gold bricks they gave gullible ones
two years ago-proceeded forthwith
shoot off his gun. Ofcourse the CLIQUE
have the money to put up on the re-
suit in this county this fall, in addi-
ton to that given them two years ago,
but the voters and none but them
selves, will get it. The citizens of this
county take no stock in this
great clan of reformers(? and propose
having something to say about the
election this fall. You can bank on it
that Cameron will give the entire Re-
publican ticket the largest majority in
the history ofthis county. The wage
earners of Cameron are contented
with their situation and the prosper
GUS condition of the country and will
take the only sure ecourse-vote the en-
tire Republican ticket. Malcontents
will have no force here.

Pennsy Has Important Improvements
Under Amusement.

In line with the general policy of ex-
pansion and progressiveness of the
present management, the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company has under advise
ment important improvements on the
Western New York & Pennsylvania
part of the new grand division between
Pittsburg and Buffalo. Grades are to
be reduced, curves eliminated or modi-
fled, heavier steel rails laid, bridges
strengthened, and a number rebuilt,
and one erected, the intention being to
make improvements that will permit of
faster time between Buffalo and Phila.
delphia.
The effect of this will be to enable the
people of Buffalo to finally realize the
brilliant expectations that were held
out in this respect when the line was
first projected years ago, as the Buffalo
q Washington, and ran only to Arcade.
When later it was extended to Olean.
and then to Emporium, it was supposed
that the original idea would be carried
out, but, while the Philadelphia service
was established, it was not what had
been anticipated, a fact chiefly due,
possibly, to the relation of the Penn
sylvania with the New York Central.
by which its Philadelphia and Wash
ington traffic from Buffalo was routed
over the New York Central to it's con-
nection with that road at Canandaieua.
With the purchase of the Western
New York & Pennsylvania the condi-
tions have been changed, and, in max
ing provision for better service to
Philadelphia over the Western New
York & Pennsylvania, the Pennsylva-
MIA is serving its own interests and
establishing sharper competition with
the Lehigh Valley.
Naturally, with the opportunity pre-
sented the Pennsylvania will become
stronger factor in the competition for
lake traffic to Buffalo than it has ever
been Its intentions in this regard
were clearly indicated when it obtained
sole control of the Anchor Line of
steamers while negotiations for the
Western New York & PENNSYLVANIA
were pending.

Wheeler Wants Big Army.

Brigadier General Joseph Wheeler
made plea for a large standing army
in his address before the students of the
Chicago University. He declared the
only security for peace was to be al
ways prepared for war.
General Wheeler's topic was "Our
Pacific Possessions" He briefly traced
the history and development of the is
lands recently acquired by the United
States, and gave the results of his own
observations as to the resources and
possibilities of our new dependencies.
He said the destiny of the human race
was to be guided in the future largely
by the government of the United
States.
'My observations among the Fill
pinos and those of China forcibly i'm
pressed upon me the importance of all
institutions Of learning devoting a full
measure of effort to installing a spirit
of chivalry and patriotic devotion. 1t
was to keep that spirit fresh and strong
that Alabama enacted a law that the
national flag should float over every
school house in the state.
1--WE are now a great world power,
and the destiny of the human race is
in the future to be largely guided by
the influence exerted by this govern
ment. This should be impressed upon
the rising generation, and the memory
of the flag of our country floating over
the school house and songs breathing
patriotic devotion within its walls
should indelibly be connected with the
first impressions of the youth of our
land"

Emporium Wins,

The Northwestern Firemen's Asso-
citation now in session at this place
voted last evening unanimously in
favor of Emporium as the next meet
ing place for 1901. North East was the
only competitor but promptly with
drew in favor of Emporium. The En-
porium delegates and the committee
sent to Kane by the department are
feeling good tonight, yet fully realize
the great task before Emporium. That
Emporium will ably maintain it's past
reputation none will dispute.
At the banquet last evening all the
speakers expressed themselves pleased
with the choice of Emporium.
Every citizen of Emporium should
put on his thinking cap and keep it on
until after the Convention of 1901 has
been declared great success.
