"Where the loafer wastes his life and the boys grow up to vulgar and useless . „ , mediocrity;" here A Ho > * is a vivid and un l ulvrrsliy. fortunately a true picture of many country villages. The remark was made by Mr. George Rob ley Howe, a man who lives in a country village—the town of Norway, Me. —but not that kind of village, because Mr. Howe and his associate, Mr. George Noyes, have found a way to lift it up and •transform it. Their work in this little Maine town has already attracted the attention of educators all over the Unit ed States. They have taken the country boys as raw material, and created there from a scientific university, in which all the sciences which can have a local interest and foundation are learned by the young pupils. Attendance is vol untary, tuition is free. The boys them selves, as they grow older, says the Youth's Companion, become the in structors of their younger companions, and all alike go, not to books, but di rect to nature. They have their camp Jut —blanket, hatchet, knapsack and such other things as make them in dependent in the woods—and either by themselves or with their older advisers they tramp the surrounding country and study Ihe plants, an:mals, insects and minerals. Not only do they form col lections, but they classify them, ac curately and scientifically, each boy working in the department which he has chosen for himself. From the surround ing hills they have taken mineralogical specimens for which natural history museums have offered large prices, and from neighboring streams have gath ered valuable pearls. The most impor tant thing of all is the mental and moral training that they get. The intelligent study of nature implies constant asso ciation with absolute truth and the comradeship of beauty. Under these in fluences the "tough" boy and the incipi ent loafer clarify themselves. The dregs of their nature settle, the life becomes purer and better. 1 Otto Schegelberger, a handsome young man living in Germany, read in his paper how easy it was for good looking foreigners to find rich Amer ican brides. So he drew his savings Irom a bank and sailed for New York, where he soon learned how badly mis taken he had been. His money was go ing last and there being no sign of the expected millionairess he began to look for work. Even this he was unable to find, and finally, when "stone broke," he went to the city lodging-house, where he was permitted to saw wood for his board. Now he has appealed to the authorities, asking that they provide him with means to return home. Illinois pays more revenue to the gov ernment than any other state in the union, and in tact nearly twice as much. The reason fort his is because of the dis tilleries located at Peoria. There is so much "corn juice'" manufactured at that vicinity that out of a total of $50,000,000 paid in revenue last year over $32,000,000 came from the Peoria district. Since the passing of the oleomargarine law there has been a remarkable decrease in the revenue receipts of this product. During the past fiscal year only $73G,783 was collected for oleo in the United States, which is a decrease of $2,207,709 compared with the previous year. The intricacies of the law are oxam pled in a case reported by the Lyons .Republican. U. M. S. Bancom, of Kan sas City, appeared before the probate judge at Sterling and took out adoption papers for his own daughter, Izora, aged ten years. Some years ago Izora was adopted into the family of D. H. Lts cum. Her father became so situated that he wished to have his child again. Hut, as she had been legally adopted by the Liscums, it. became necessary that she should be readopted by her own father before the records could be right. A member of the English commis sion which is now investigating Amer ican educational conditions has pub licly expressed the wish that in the next few decades we give our attentiop to turning out "two or three Miltons, one or two Dantes and one or more iShakespeares." We are disposed to ;be obliging, but is not the demand {rather large? MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT. Uuosrvelt's Review of Events nntl Itccniniuciidutiona a Strnliilit and StrouK Letter. Naturally, the Panama developments receive more space than any other sin gle matter mentioned in President Roosevelt's message to congress. It is the most interesting affair in which the government has figured in the past 12 months, says the St. Louis Globe-Dem ocrat. The president makes it plain that he and Secretary Hay could not have done otherwise at. the isthmus without being grossly recreant to the interests of the American people. From a long line of precedents he shows that the action of the government has been consistent with its record for the past half a century in relation to Colombia and the isthmus. The president, is also Justified in his expressions of satisfac tion at the settlement which has taken place in the Alaska boundary contro versy, which has removed the only is sue capable of causing any irritation between the United States and Eng land. What he says about the coun try's triumph in preventing the spolia tion of Venezuela by Germany, England and Italy a year ago, and in getting the dispute referred to the tribunal at The Hague, will be emphatically en dorsed by the great mass of his coun trymen, without distinction of party or section. In the more strictly domestic affairs the president likewise has an encour aging story to tell. The establishment of the department of commerce and labor he finds to have been an impor tant step toward an improvement of the relations between labor and capital. Much progress has been made, he says, in the conditions in Porto Rico and the Philippines within the year. Alaska is advancing, and he urges the enactment of proper land laws for that locality, and the promotion by the government of the building of railroads and the de velopment of other means of communi cation, so far as this can be legitimate ly done. The work of reclaiming the desert has begun under the irrigation act of 1902, and the president is es pecially well pleased on this account, partly because national irrigation was always favored by him, but chietly bo cause this work promises to be of such vast benefit to an area comprising a large part of many states. He makes another plea for the preservation of the forests, to re-enforce those which he has already, made in messages and addresses. The genereal staff act he finds has brought great, improvement to the army, adding thereto a recom mendation for the establishment of a naval base in the Philippines. On the postal, land and naturaliza tion frauds the president speaks plain ly and wisely. He urges prompt ex posure and convicrion, and recommentis an appropriation to enable the attorney general to act more effectively than he is able to do at present in proceeding against these and all other offenders against the government. The official corruption in St. Louis inciles liim to ask for the insertion of bribery among the list of extraditable offenses in all treaties. He suggests the adoption of means whereby undesirable immigrants can be kept out of the country and the desirable one properly distributed, so as not to concentrate the bulk of them, as now, in a few states. The question of the merchant marine lie finds to be so important that he recommends the appointment of a commission to con sider the best means for its restoration In view of the probability that thfc treasury surplus will be small at the end of the fiscal year next. June, if there should be any surplus, he cau tions congress to exercise prudence in the matter of appropriations. He urges congress, however, to favor in all prop er ways the Louisiana Purchase expo sition and likewise the Lewis and Clark fair, to be held at Portland, Ore., in 1905. President Roosevelt makes an illuminating survey of all the country's important domestic and foreign inter ests. Every person who wants to be informed about the nation's iniernal and external concerns by the man who knows most about them and who has a larger influence ihan any other sin gle official upon them, should read carefully and intelligently every line of this communication to congress and people. I.OKIC of Free Trailers, The free trade newspapers are appar ently much concerned just now over the alleged increase in prices of woolen clothing, which of course they attribute to the protective tariff. Hut a great many Americans can still remember when wool was free under the late demo cratic tariff law, and few if any of them recall any especial cheapness which re sulted. And the wage earners had a much slighter opportunity to get money with which to pay for their clothing. Prices of cotton cloths have recently ad vanced, owing to the combined effect of a falling off in production of cotton and the operations of "bull" speculators. There is no duty on cotton, and accord ing to the logic of our free trade friends that article should be cheap. But here is a case where free trade logic falls down, though the anti-protectionists find it convenient to ignore the facts. — Troy Times. the bullrushes seem to be growing thicker all the time and the democratic Moses is yet to be found — Baltimore Herald. the post office investigation there ar been no disposition to shield any body for political reasons. Republicans as well as democrats have been de nounced when there was reason for de nunciation.

CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 24, 190 J. CLEVELAND OUT OF IT. linovra Very Well There Uoahl Xot lie "The (ilioNt of a Chance*' for His Kleetlon. Grover Cleveland will figure In no more estimates or conjectures regard ing the democratic nomination for the presidency. He is out of the race un equivocally. This time there is not even the suggestion of a "string" at tachment to his declination. Nor is there aiy likelihood that he will at any late stage of the convention fol low the example of Horatio Seymour in 1868. Seymour was chairman of tho democratic national convention that year, and when the delegates began to press the nomination upon him he ex claimed determinedly: "Gentlemen, your candidate I .:annot be." Then he was nominated and the nomination was accepted. There can be no doubt, says the Los Angeles Herald, that Grover Cleveland means exactly what he says in his let ter to the editor of the Brooklyn Eagle. He declares that he will not "in any circumstances or upon any considera tion," again become the nominee of his party for the presidency. Then he still further clinches his determination by saying: "My determination not to do so is unalterable and conclusive." The cause or causes leading to Mr. j Cleveland's withdrawal hardly need be considered now. It is more than prob [ able that he would like once more to warm the presidential chair, but he is ' too sagacious a politician to be deluded I with the thought that another such i election is possible. He knows very j well that there would not be "the ghost !of a chance" for his election. There J would not be even a ray of hope for ; him in view of the ineradicable antip | athy of the American people to the I three-term idea, to say nothing of the ! bitter hostility that would be encoun j tcred from the Bryan wing of the ! party. What will be the next disclosure in j the democratic kaleidoscope? The ; Brooklyn Eagle attempts to throw Mr. ! Cleveland's cast-off mantle upon the | shoulders of Judge Parker, of the New i York court of appeals. But Parker is i hardly known outside of his state. He j would make a respectable figurehead, | but his name would arouse no demo cratic enthusiasm. Hill and Whitney are the only other New Yorkers whom the party would consider seriously, but neither of them is likely to secure the prize, such as it will be. The withdrawal of Cleveland ele | vates by several pegs the chances for the nomination of Arthur Pue Gorman. POINTS AND OPINIONS. It?" Mr. Bryan has filed an appeal from | the Cleveland decision.

Philadelphia Press. i BHISTOW AGAIN. Hla Complete Iteport Aditn Som* Ic the Story of tlie Hiintal Fraud*. Washington, Dec. 17. —The full re port of Fourth Assistant Postmaster General Bristovt was made public yes terduy with the exception of the ex hibits. which are withheld because ol the pending criminal cases. The re j port reveals many new facts brought out by the months of investigation and not embodied in the official ab stract made public a fortnight ago. These are mostly in the way of im portant supplementary information regarding the alleged connection of executive officers of the department with fraudulent contracts for sup plies, alleged efforts to promote min ing stock among' postoffice depart ment employes, irregularities in out side post offices, etc. Regarding the sale of promotions in .New York City and .Jersey City, the report mentions Uayonne, N. J., as involved and says that Otto F. Weis, the registry clerk at New York, now dismissed and an intimate friend of Heavers, says lie collected from SB,OOO to SIO,OOO for the "legislative fund" for the clerks. Weis' bank ac count where these funds were de posited aggregated $19,154, and Mr. liristow expresses the opinion that i this represents the amount of Weis' j collections. Weis stated that he used about S.'S,OOO of this money for ex | penses. and that the balance, $6,000 | or $7,000, he paid to Benjamin Park ; hurst, "an intimate friend of Beavers, ! and superintendent of a postoffice I station in this city, but removed last i April." The report cites increased amounts for leases of postoffices against the recommendations of inspectors, and quotes Section 1i7'17 of the revised statutes inhibiting contracts with congressmen ivnd says that Beavers nevertheless made contracts with members of congress for the rental of premises, either in their own names, the name of the agents, or | some member of the family. Mr. Bristow says: "A careful investigation, however, does not show that the government lias been defrauded by the payment of excessive rentals to members of congress, either directly or indirect j ly. I recommend, however, that all leases where a member of congress is a party lie cancelled." COLOMBIAN TROOPS. An American Cruiser Found a l.nrge Party ot" Them oil tile West Side of tlie I.nil of Uarlen. Colon, Dec. 18.—The United States cruiser Atlanta, Commander William If. Turner, has returned here from the Gulf of Darien. She discovered December 15 a detachment of Colom bian troops, numbering about 500 men. but, according to Iheir state ments totalling 1,500 or r.'.OUO men. at Titumati. on the western side of the gulf. Jlls 1 north of the mouth of the \trato river. The eomr-iandcr of the Atlanta sent ashore ah officer, who conversed with the Columbian com mander. The latter protested against the presence of American warships in Colombian waters, inasmuch as war between Colombia and the United States hail not been declared, and po litely requested the Atlanta to leave the gulf, because it belonged to Co lotnhin. Commander Turner ignored the request and the Atlanta returned to Colon to report to Rear Admiral (Vighlan. The Colombians carefully and sys tematically matte efforts to avoid fur nishing any information as to what purposes had brought them to the gulf, or whether they were building a roytl towards the republic of Panarn. But, il can be said reliably that they are awaiting superior orders. In the meantime there is strong probability that they are building a road towards Panama. The distance separating Titumati and Yaviza is 60 miles. The Colombians declared they had 2,000 men between the mouth of the Atrato and Tiburon, well supplied with food, clothing and ammunition. They also have several pieces of ar-j tillery mounted at coastal points. Their demeanor, though polite, clear- j ly showed hostility and deep chagrin sit having been discovered. Many in dications pointed to their intention of bringing further men and supplies to the gulf. LABOR PARTY WON. All Flection in Australia lit Which Women I'pset All Calculation*!. Melbourne, Victoria, Dec. 17. —The first of the commonwealth general elections at which women exercised the right of suffrage was held Wed nesday, with the result that all politi cal calculations were upset. The struggle was chiefly over the fiscal question. The government party fa vored protection and the opposition j supported free trade, and the third in importance, the labor party, agreed to sink the question of fiscal differences with a view to securing the balance of power, which they vir tually held in the last parliament. The women voters were excellent ly organized and east it heavy ballot, almost exclusively in support of the labor ticket, the result being that the labor party won many seats, mainly from tlie protectionists, in districts where the three parties con tested.

Secretary Koot Drrnida 4«en. Wood- Maya War Department Authorized 111 M Action*. Washington, Dec. 17.—Secretary Root wan a witness yesterday before the senate committee on military affairs which is investigating' the pro tests against the confirmation of | (ien. Leonard Wood to be major gen , eral. j The secretary's statement was an j elaborate and carefully prepared de fense of (ien. Wood. The secretary made a specific reply to each of tlio J charges that have l>een urged so far against (Jen. Wood's confirmation and assumed responsibility for many of the matters charged against Wood. He devoted particular attention tc the attack upon the integrity of the official accounts of the Cuban treas ury and (Jen. Wood's administrator , and he was prepared with an im mense amount of data to answer the | charge of loose and faulty accounting ; and auditing. He said the weakness j of Ihis charge might have been es- I tablished long ago had the senate ; printed the accounts which he trans ] initted to that body last winter in J answer to a resolution. Secretary Hoot was asked about | the charge which Maj. Rathbone had made that (Jen. Wood had influenced ' the courts in the prosecution of j Rathbone, and had tampered with j tlx; courts. The secretary explained i at some length the court system in j Cuba, saying that the court of first J instance was in reality an officer di | reeted to prosecute and to obtain j evidence, lie was something like a grand jury in finding evidence, but i was further empowered togo out and obtain evidence, mingle with the people, procure affidavits and otherwise to collect evidence against, alleged offenders. The secretary said he knew what (Jen. Wood was doing in this matter and approved it. The secretary said that he directed that | the prosecution of the offenders be j vigorous and (ien. Wood was acting ! in this matter under orders from the war department. The secretary also took up the subject of the .lai Alai company's con -1 session and said that this was not a gambling company, nor was the game of pelota played under the manage ment of the company a gambling game any more than was a horse race nr a game of baseball. Men could bet on the results as upon other ! games of skill. He said that the con cession was granted before the I American occupation and that the concession for which (Jen. Wood had I been criticized was that of an addi | lion to the building of the company. The only question in regard to this grant was whether or not it would be j contrary to the Foraker amendment. The whole matter was referred to the war department by Wood. CRUSADE AGAINST PERJURY. Tlie Crime Said to be nn livor.vday Occurrence 111 New Y«.rl» < oiirt»— I'uiir Alleged I*erjiirer» Arrested. New York, Dec. 18.—A crusade against alleged wholesale perjury in bankruptcy proceedings was in agurated Thursday by the federal au thorities with the indictment and ar rest of four alleged perjurers. They are l.eon Weelieler, formerly a manu facturer of clothing; Kassel Oshin sky, real estate dealer; David Levy and David Lnchman. The later two were formerly associated together in Hie cotton goods business on Hast Fourth street, but were thrown into involuntary bankruptcy by creditors in October. According to United States Com missioner Alexander, who is appoint ed by the I'nited States district court to take testimony in tin' major por tion of bankruptcy proceedings, the bankrupts and those associated with them have, during the last year, grown bolder and holder in the mat ter of perjury. "It has become so that truth in bankruptcy matters is the exception and not the rule." said the commis sioner. "The bankrupts and those associated with them would appear before me and perjure themselves day after day, and violate their oaths even when they knew that I knew they were lying, with absolutely no fear of the consequences." The indictments recite several in cidents of the kind mentioned by the commissioner. The four men were arraigned be fore Judge Thomas, on charges of perjury. All pleaded not guilty and were released ill s2,.")fio bail each. Four .tieti Killed by l)yiinmlte. Dubois, Pn„ Dec.
