WILL COST A FORTUNE.
Failure to Properly Appraise Fa-

NEW YORK. March 31.-General Ap-
praiser Howell has announced his 0ecis-
ion In the matter of the painting, 1.-THE
Holy Family" a Rubens. which was sent
TO this country and entered at value of
1S2'OOO francs. 1t has been sold ut a pub
lie auction in London at a considerably
higher figure, and the customs au h9ri les
stopped it and held 1t for appraIsement.
General Appraiser Howell advances the
valuation to $4,000 francs, making the
duty 20 per cent, something IN the neign-
borhood Of $1,000.
According to law, however, there is ar
infiexible penalty attached to goods which
are imported under low valuation, and
the penalty in the case of the paiuttng
amounts to $4,000 making the entire
amount which must be paid before this
painting will be delivered about $500

THE PARAMOUNT ISSUE.

Mckinley cannot help being insin-
cere and vacillating His letter of ac-
ceptance, as the New York Journal
truly says, resembles folding bed
with a piano front. When you first
look at it you think it is a financial ar
gument, hut when you let it down you
find that it is an apology for imperial
ism"
In other words, Mckinley by his
own admission, makes Imperialism the
true and practically the only issue in
the campaign. If he considered it only
shadow and not a substance, why
did he devote three-quarters of his let
ter to discussion of it, and a state
ment of the policy of the government
By this action he lets down the folding
bed with the piano front and renews
his keen anxiety about the issue of inn
periaism. All that he or any other
writer or orator may say, will not af-
f. ct the situation in regard to the "par-
amount issue" 1t is, are you for alb
erty and the Constitution" or are you
for "empire and colonialism." In this
connection, the New York World says:
In giving up the greater part of his
letter of acceptance to the Philippine
| question Mr.. Mckinley accepts the
Democratic declaration that this is
the paramount issue" In the inter-
est of an intelligent judgment upon
this issue it is to be regretted that the
President was not equally clear in de-
filming it,"
While Mr.. Mckinley brings silver
ism to the front, says the New York
Herdid, and pronounces it the Gimme
| diate ISSUE" he treats imperialism
as the overshadowing issue of the cam
paign.
His letter of acceptance is the long
est ever written by Presidential can
| didate. In one quarter of it are dis
posed of all the matters taken up-sil-
yer, the currency, prosperity, taxation,
| merchant marine, isthman canal,
trusts, civil service, Cuba and Porto
Rico. The other three-quarers are de-
voted to an exhaustive review of the
administration Philippine policy, its
"acts and aims" from the time Dewey
destroyed the Spanish fleet in the Bay
of Manila down to the present mo-
ment. 1t is the Presidents defense of
that policy against the vigorous assault
made by Mr. Bryan in his Indianap-
oils speech of acceptance.
This is plain recognition of the fact
that in the minds of the American pe0-
pie imperialism is Il vital issue which
the Republican administration and
party can no longer ignore, but must
squarely meet. Whether from cholce.
ar force, it is now made the paramount
issue by Mr.. Mckinley, as it was by
Mr., Bryan at Indianapolis On it
both have appealed to the grand jury
of American voters, whose verdict is
to be recorded in November

TEDDY BOBs UP SERENELY.

Teddy is surely the funny man" of
the campaign. He SAYS so many
wrong things at the right time just
when We are dulled by the prosaic ut
terances of even brainy men. This is
his latest: 1--WE are proud Of America
because of what has been done in the
past by Americans" This sounds all
very fine and is perfectly in accord
with facts and public feelings. But
listen to this: at il on the Fourth of
July that we celebrate the victories of
Bunker Hill, Yorktown and AppOmat-
toX." Here is where Teddy's grim
humor comes in. 1t is not really funny
on the face Of it, bat upon a little re-
Election the righteousness of it all
comes to light. All he does il to make
a statement and let others do the think-
ing. 1t is evident that his think-tank
is leaking badly. The aforegoing ex-
cretion proves it. If Teddy, in one Of
his lucid intervals, would tell us just
where any possible or probable con-
n,ction comes in between the battle of
Appomattox and the Fourth of July,
we will be deeply gratitied. He owes
it to his country's history to speak out
When he does speak we trust he will
be serious for once and curb his funny
feeling.

Quoted 10y the McCumas management
in Maryland is only what is being said
and thought by Republicans all over
the state, The McComas management
in the State is and has been giving gen
eral dissatisfaction among many of the
Republicans of Maryland. The sell
fish policy of Mr.. McComas in over
looking some of the best Republicans
of Maryland has created widespread
dissatisfaction. Mr. Pearre, if elected
Congressman, will simply carry out
the wishes of Senator McComas. Any
Republican independent enough to
think a he pleases can never get any
recognition from Mr.. McComas Mr..
Pearre has a foeman worthy of his
steel in Mr.. Little and many promi-
nent Republicans will without doubt,
east their votes this time for Major
Little. He is competent, independent
and worthy of the support of every
Democrat and honest Republican in

1.-The Lane That Had No

Since adventuring into Egypt
in quest of the raw material of
which fiction is made, Mr.. Gil
bert Parker's Canadian fields
have been lying fallOw. He re-
turns to them, however, with new
vigOr,, and even fuller power;
and the serial which he has just
completed finds him at the high

yet attained.
"The Lane That Had No
Turning" is remarkable for it's
honest strength, thorough origi-
nality, and absorbing interest.
The scene of the story is Pontiac
(whither Valmond camel, and
the period the middle fifties.
The leading characters are Mad
elinette, a famous singer, and
her husband, Seignor Of Pontiac,
for whom she dares all and risks
all. The story gains interest as
it progresses and concludes with
a striking and wholly unexpected
finale.

WILL NOT VOTE FOR McKIN
LEY OR PEARRE.

The Republican primaries held in
this city last Saturday were dismal af-
fairs. Many of the prominent Repub-
llcans of the county refused to partici-
pate in the proceedings, declining to
have anything to do with Republican
politics as long rs things were conduct
ed in the selfish one-sided way, which
has marked the Republican manage
meut in this country for some years
past, This year there are Republicans
who honestly oppose the policy of the
present administration. They likewise
oppose Senator McComas' selfish policy
and will therefore vote against Pearre
for Congress, knowing that only one
faction will be recognized in this
county if Pearre is elected. The Re-
publicaus here, who oppose the Nc
Comas policy, speak highly Of Senator
Wellington being brave enough to OPP
pose what he considers great dangers
t. the Republic and will follow him in
voting against Mckinley and Pearre.

THAT GRAND JURY BILL!

1t was somewhat surprising that the
announcement should have been made
That there was a question about the le-
gality of the law passed by the last ses-
sion of the Legislature limiting the sts-
SONS Of our grand jury to ten days.
We know not whether there is any
necessity for a longer session ut this
time or not, and why the issue should
be raised now was as we have stated
quite a surprise. One thing is certain
the bill before it was sent to the Lcgis-
lature was pretty generally discussed
aud all seemed IL unite in saying that
it was most desirable measure 1t
was pointed out that a similar bill was
in existence for Baltimore county and
gave very general satisfaction Surely
We have had complaint enough about
tne Grand jury occupying more time
than the people thought was necessary.
Lots of cases are brought before this
body that consume more time than
should he given to such trifltng eases.
When the bill was passed every one
congratulated Mr.. Bast in having pre-
scented one of the most popular bills
that had been passed by the Lcgisla-
ture; yet ifit is not legal measure it
should be gotten OFT the statute books

Bryan on Schley.

The Washington Times says:
One of the most important feau-
lures of Mr.. Bryan's great speech
at Cumberland, Nd, last Tines
day evening, appears to have es-
capped general observation. The
fact that Mr.. Bryan reserved
this particular feature for his out
door performance shows that he
had worked it up for the accom-.
plishment of special purpose,
for by far his biggest audience
was the one he addressed in the
open air. He had worked his
audience into frenzy of delight
by painting to them in swift, bold
strokes the character and achieve
ments of the military heroes of
the war with Spain, both of the
army and navy. To every one of
these heroes he gave a proper
need of praise, and carried the
crowd with him to the conclusion
that none of them had received
more than was his desert. Then
turning to the naval battle of
Santiago, and describing the af-
fair in glowing colors, he wound
up his description with the dec
laration, artfully worked into a
climax, that "Schley had de-
strOyed Spain's proudest fleet at
Santiago" The noise that his
Maryland auditors made showed
that Mr.. Bryan's shot had hit in
the right spot. He did not re-
fer to the humiliation that had
been heaped upon the Admiral
by the administration. He simply
had shown by contrast how mad
equate was the reward given to
Schley for a performance which
the military experts of the world
are beginning to realize was one
of the most notable of modern
war. 1t is believed that this in
cident, simple as it appeared
upon the surface, will cost Mr..
Mckinley more votes i'll Mary
land than any other single short
coming of his administration.

The Republican Literary Bureau is
sending out specially prepared plate
matter service to its newspapers, Civ
ing list of men who will vote for
Mckinley this fall. One paper in this
county has published at least seven out
of the fifteen names, beginning with
John NJ. Palmer of Illinois, who voted
outright for Mckinley in 1885, and no
doubt some of the others. This move
was made to offset the list sent out by
the Democrats several weeks ago. The
vital difference is that every one in the
Democratic list voted for Mckinley in
1896 and will change to Bryan in 1900;
whilst the Republicans can only boast
of keeping few gold Democrats in
line again this year. The detection
of Senator Wellington from the Re
publican party this year will offset all
the converts the Republicans can
gather up the country over.

The Late Marion Stuart Cam.

Marion Stuart Cam, who died
recently, was for many years a
resident of this city, and fire.
quently, when his family moved
to Scrantan, Pa, visited his sis
ter, Mrs. E. G. McSherry. He
was very popular with all and
had many friends, who deeply
deplore his loss.
In an extended notice of his
death, the Scranton Republican
of the 9Th inst, says:
He was born at Wilmington,
Delaware, April 20, 1859, and
was therefore i'll his 41st year.
He was a versatile writer and had
wide and varied experience in
American journalism. At one
time he was city editor of the
Scranton Republican and served
in the same capacity ON the
Scranton Truth. His articles
were easily distinguishable ow-
ing to the purity of his language
and smOothness in style. His
pen was welded as if by a master
hand and he became valuable
member on the staff of many
well-known newspaper.
Leaving this city he settled for
some time in Birmingham, Ala,
where he became editor of the
Age Herald, owned by Colonel
Brien. Earlier in life he was ap.
pointed Collector of Facts for the
department of mining in the
State Of Kentucky, where he rem
dered valuable service. He then
founded a weekly paper in Frank
fort, Kentucky, which promptly
caught tue popular favor and
was soon converted into a daily.
Later he was made city editor of
the Louisville Courier Journal.

O. Boiled Down
Campaign Issnno
by

Ia. oech at Youngstown,
Ohin MS Saturday last, Senator
Han uttered this sentiment:
nYorinay talk about expansion,
antitrust government by injunc-
tin. the Constitution following
tA flag and all the rest of it, but,
flow citizens, [ want to tell you
tat this whole issue boiled down,
the dinner pail" That is to
4, the American people will
Iopt any policy, it matters not
wv infamous, if they are prom.
ed to be well.fed at regular in
rivals. Reason, principle and
.ntiment, according to Senator
lama, are subordinate to the
tomach. We are a nation of
buttons, with appetites, but
Without souls or cOnsciences.
The American wOrkingman who
believes that the injunction is
used to Cypress labor is expected
to dismiss all his fears in consid-
Grafton of three meals a day.
The man who regards the Consti-
tuition as sacred instrument,
not to be tinkered with by selfish
politicians, is urged to surrender
all his convictions for the gross
delights of a full dinner pail.
The ''sentimentalist" who dreams
of equal rights, the brotherhood
of man and free institutions, is
to confess that he is an impostOr,
if thereby he can be sure of his
pantry being we'll stocked.
Heretofore orators have appealed
to the reason of their hearers, to
their convictions of what was
right, but Senator Hanna bases
his appeal upon the lowest con-
ceivable considerations. The
American voter, from his point Of
view, lives only to eat, not to
think, and if he can be fed when
ever he is hungry he will prove in
Mr.. Hanna's opinion, docile an
imal which can be driven wher-
ever his master wishes him to go.
Ii a majority of the people of this
country were the degraded, vic
ious, unreasoning gluttOns Mr..
Hanna imagines them TO be, there
would be little hope for this Re-
public. All that our masters
would have to do to carry out
their designs would be to stuff
the voters until they had pro
duced fatty degeneration of the
public heart and conscience.
Mr.. Hanna's assumption that the
American people can be bribed,
by offers of "full dinner pail
to endorse what their consciences
do not approve, illustrates most
strikingly the cynical contempt
of the Republican leaders for the
masses-the plain people.-B0Ito,
