My skin was almost yellow, eyes sunken, tongue coated, pain continually in back and sides, no appetite?gradually growing weaker day by day. Three physicians had given me up. Fortunately, a friend advised trying Electric Bitters, and to my great joy and surprise, the first bottle made a decided improvement. I con- tinued their use for three weeks and am now a well man. I know they saved my live and robbed the grave of another victim." No one should fail to try them. Only 51) cents, guaranteed, at L. Taggart's drug store. Young Senators. Washington corr. New York Mail. The Congressional Directory discloses the fact that Senator Beveridge of India- na is not the youngest man in the Sen- ate, as has been claimed, for, according to his biography, which by the way, is the briefest in the book, he was born in 18(12, and, is therefore, 37 years old. Senator Butler, 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 Senators within a few years of the age of the In- diana man. There have been younger men in the Senate than either Mr. Bevcr- idtre or Mr. Butler. Henry Clay wan only 30 years old when he entered the Senate, while Andrew Jackson was only | 31. Alexander Hamilton was 32 when he j 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 THE NATION'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 proclamation offering au unconditional pardon to such of the Philippine rebels, as sur- render before a given date, and giving notice that all found with arms in their hands after that date, willbe considered brigands and outlaws and will be treated as such. This may cause a few spasms among the "aunties," but it is the proper course to pursue. There is no longer even an apology for a Fili- pino government, and no organized force of any size anywhere, and the peaceably inclined inhabitants are en- titled to the protection of this govern- ment, which can only be made effectual by breaking up the small roaming band of rebels, livingby depredation. The first step in this year's Con- gressional campaign will be taken this week, when the Republicans of the House and Senate will hold a joint caucus for the purpose of reorganizing the Congressional campaign com- mittee. The House disposed of the Roberts case last week, by shutting him out, but the House Committee on mileage still has to decide whether he is en- titled to mileage. Chairman Barham has been trying to get at the legal status of the matter. He talked with Attorney General Griggs about it and was referred to Comptroller Tracewell, of the Treasury, who would have to pass on the account, if Roberts should be allowed mileage. The Comptroller said he would be guided by the action of 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 not only his salary, but the perquisites that belong to the office of Representative; but I have examined the law very caretully and I do not see how we should be justified in paying him. That is my personal opinion. The Committee may decide otherwise." Democrats are very fond of talking about muzzling men, but they seem to overlook the recent muzzling of Mr. Bryan. Mr. Bryan was muzzled by the New York Democratic Club, which is another name for Tammany, when he was dined without being allowed to speak, and he was again muzzled by the Gridiron Club, of Washington, which had him as one of its guests at a dinner, given Saturday night, where he was free to speak, but with the knowledge that an inviolable rule of the club prohibits the publication of speeches made by its guests. It looks as though Mr. Bryan really enjoyed being muzzled; and it is certain that the Democratic party would be better off in the end if he were permanently muzzled, as it is clear to close observers that he is driving old Democrats into the Republican ranks every day by his moss-back utterances, which show an j utter inability to read the signs of the times. The U. S. Government is confident of its ability to protect its interests and those of all its citizens under any and all circumstances; therefore, it would accept no invitation from any other government or governments to become a party to negotiations, having in view a definition of the right of neutrals and an agreement on what shall constitute contraband of war. These things are already sufficiently defined by interna- tional law and precedent to enable any government which dares to stand up for its rights, to maintain them. Our representatives at the Peace Confer- ence, at The Hague, last year, proposed that all private property at sea should, in time of war, be respected, but the conference declined to agree to that proposal, and that ended the matter. A report to the Department of State from T. J. Albert, U. S. Consul at Brunswick, Germany, is devoted to the remarkable increase of ship-building in Germany, which has become second to Great Britain in ocean transportation, and which has obtained this enviable position in the short period of ten years. How this jump forward in a great industry was brought about, is told in a single sentence, which is the strongest sort of argument in favor of the passage of the bill now pending before Congress, providing for the in- crease of our own merchant marine, by a system of Federal aid to ship-building: "This rapid development of ship-build- ing in Germany is to be attributed to the encouragement given by the gov- ernment to the ship-building interests through liberal subventions allowed the different commercial companies." An Editor's Life Saved by Chambelain's Cough .Remedy. During the early part of October, 18!)G, I contracted a bad cold which settled on my lungs and was neglected until I feared that consumption had ap- j peared in an incipient state.l was con- | stantly couching and trying to expel I something which 1 could not.

FIDE.Bobbed the Grave.
A startling incident, of which Mr.John Oliver, of Philadelphia, was thesubject, is narrted by him as follows: "Iwas in a most dreadful condition. Myskin was almost yellow, eyes sunken,tongue coated, pain continually in backand sides, no appetite?gradually growingweaker day by day. Three physicianshad given me up. 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."
