Fortunately, a friendadvised trying Electric Bitters, and tomy great joy and surprise, the first bottlemade a decided improvement. I con-tinued their use for three weeks and am

now a well man. I know they savedmy live and robbed the grave of anothervictim." No one should fail to trythem. Only 51) cents, guaranteed, at L.Taggart's drug store.

Young Senators.Washington corr. New York Mail.

The Congressional Directory disclosesthe fact that Senator Beveridge of India-na is not the youngest man in the Sen-ate, as has been claimed, for, according tohis biography, which by the way, is thebriefest in the book, he was born in 18(12,and, is therefore, 37 years old. SenatorButler, the Populist from North Carolina,is one year yonger, having been born in

18GI5. Senator Penrose of Pennsylva-nia and McLaurin of South Carolina, are

only two years older than Senator Bever-idge and there are several other Senatorswithin a few years of the age of the In-diana man. There have been youngermen in the Senate than either Mr. Bevcr-idtre or Mr. Butler. Henry Clay wanonly 30 years old when he entered theSenate, while Andrew Jackson was only

| 31. Alexander Hamilton was 32 when hej was appointed Secretary of the Treasury,j Thomas Jefferson was only 32 when he

wrote the Declaration of Independence.

CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY i, 1900.

FORFXAST OF THE WEEK AT THENATION'S CAPITOL.

The ('resident and the Philippines

The Republican Congressional

Committee to Reorganize.Ship Subsidies.

President McKinley will, it is ex-pected, shortly issue a proclamationoffering au unconditional pardon tosuch of the Philippine rebels, as sur-render before a given date, and givingnotice that all found with arms in theirhands after that date, willbe consideredbrigands and outlaws and will betreated as such. This may cause a fewspasms among the "aunties," but it isthe proper course to pursue. There isno longer even an apology for a Fili-pino government, and no organized

force of any size anywhere, and thepeaceably inclined inhabitants are en-

titled to the protection of this govern-ment, which can only be made effectualby breaking up the small roaming bandof rebels, livingby depredation.

The first step in this year's Con-gressional campaign will be taken thisweek, when the Republicans of theHouse and Senate will hold a jointcaucus for the purpose of reorganizingthe Congressional campaign com-mittee.

The House disposed of the Robertscase last week, by shutting him out,but the House Committee on mileagestill has to decide whether he is en-titled to mileage. Chairman Barhamhas been trying to get at the legalstatus of the matter. He talked withAttorney General Griggs about it andwas referred to Comptroller Tracewell,of the Treasury, who would have topass on the account, ifRoberts shouldbe allowed mileage. The Comptrollersaid he would be guided by the actionof the Committee on Mileage. Speak-ing of the matter, Mr. Barham said:"Personally I should like to pay Mr.Roberts the amount of his mileage.

He came here expecting to receive notonly his salary, but the perquisites thatbelong to the office of Representative;but I have examined the law verycaretully and I do not see how weshould be justified in paying him.That is my personal opinion. TheCommittee may decide otherwise."

Democrats are very fond of talkingabout muzzling men, but they seem tooverlook the recent muzzling of Mr.Bryan. Mr. Bryan was muzzled by theNew York Democratic Club, which isanother name for Tammany, when hewas dined without being allowed tospeak, and he was again muzzled by

the Gridiron Club, of Washington,which had him as one of its guests at adinner, given Saturday night, wherehe was free to speak, but with theknowledge that an inviolable rule ofthe club prohibits the publication ofspeeches made by its guests. It looksas though Mr. Bryan really enjoyedbeing muzzled; and it is certain thatthe Democratic party would be betteroff in the end if he were permanently

muzzled, as it is clear to close observersthat he is driving old Democrats intothe Republican ranks every day by hismoss-back utterances, which show an j

utter inability to read the signs of thetimes.

The U. S. Government is confident ofits ability to protect its interests andthose of all its citizens under any andall circumstances; therefore, it wouldaccept no invitation from any othergovernment or governments to becomea party to negotiations, having in viewa definition of the right ofneutrals andan agreement on what shall constitutecontraband of war. These things arealready sufficiently defined by interna-tional law and precedent to enable anygovernment which dares to stand upfor its rights, to maintain them. Ourrepresentatives at the Peace Confer-ence, at The Hague, last year, proposedthat all private property at sea should,in time of war, be respected, but theconference declined to agree to thatproposal, and that ended the matter.

A report to the Department of Statefrom T. J. Albert, U. S. Consul atBrunswick, Germany, is devoted to theremarkable increase ofship-building inGermany, which has become second toGreat Britain in ocean transportation,and which has obtained this enviableposition in the short period of tenyears. How this jump forward in a

great industry was brought about, istold in a single sentence, which is thestrongest sort of argument in favor ofthe passage of the bill now pending

before Congress, providing for the in-crease ofour own merchant marine, bya system ofFederal aid to ship-building:"This rapid development of ship-build-ing in Germany is to be attributed tothe encouragement given by the gov-ernment to the ship-building intereststhrough liberal subventions allowedthe different commercial companies."
