The Board is aliout fVMHi in debt from outs tali ding warrants and a live mill tax has been levied fur the present year, which will raise alsmt slo,'mK) Now is the time for the tax payer to attend to the matter ami select the men he wants and whom he is willing to ei> trust with the handling of his money, lick the men yon want, nominate and elect them, and then stand by them in the strict discharge of their duties. Its wrong for the public to let offices go by default and then raise a howl about corruption, im ffieiency or any other fault, thus casting suspicion on the of lieial and preventing him from giving his liest services to his fellow citi/.cns Itcuben McEJvain is spoken of as a Republican candidate for Burgess while Thomas McNair will likely receive the Democratic nomination.

It is Butler county's turn to have it The Ring knows this, and the object of pntting Hon. S. B. Cochrane forward (he has.already certified his candidacy i is that conferees that will do the Ring's bidding may be selected and a bargain and sale can be made with the Bntler county choice. If the latter will agree to the conditions laid down by the Ring he can have the con ferees from this county. If he does not there will be a deadlock, and the State Chairman will have the right to decide who shall have the district nomi nation. This may lead to a three cor nered fight like the last time. —Kittan- ning Times. The only sensation in local politics last week was the annauncement of Miss Marshall's candidacy for the But ler P.

Chicago boasts of doing big things, and one of the biggest of Chicago's achievements is the new drainage canal by which the foul-smelling Chicago river is made to run np stream and carry its sewage into the Illinois and Mississippi rivers instead of into Lake Michigan. Besides cutting a canal with a capacity of MO,OOO cubic feet of water per minute and of sufficient depth and width to carry steamers drawing '32 feet of water for a distance of 28 mile Chicago has paid for the job the neat sum of *1)3.000,000 without securing a dollar from either State or Federal Gov ernment. The primary pnrpose of the undeitak ing was to divert the sewage of the city from Lake Michigan in order that a pure water supply might be obtained. The excavation from the Chicago river to Iy*-k|»ort, a distance of 28 miles, is of ship-canal capacity, however, and it is the intention of th-» Chicago business interests to ask (Congress to continue the canal by slack water improvements the entire length of th<- l>es I'laines and Illinois rivers to where the latter falls into the Mississippi, a distance of more than !100 miles, thus creating a great water way from Lake Michigan to the (Julf of Mexico. The first effect of the Chicago drain age canal will be to get its promoters into all sorts of trouble. The people of St, Louis and the towns along the Jlli nois river are calling it a ditch of death, and are getting ready to apply to the courts for protection in the form of le straining injunction* Those interested in the navigation of the lakes fear that it will lower the level of the water in the great lakes and prove a detriment to navigation. Unless this fear proves groundless there is likely to Ik- litigation 1 from that sonrce It is evident, there fore, that the promoters of the Chicago drainage and ship canal are only at the beginning of their troubles now that the water has begun to pour through their new ditch into the tributaries of the Mississippi.

Itritisii Arms iu Hard Lines. Heretofore, British arius in Africa have swept their foes t>efore them, de spite occasional checks or temporary disaster. Lord Chelmsford was disgrac ed because the Zulus defeated him, but the poor blacks paid dearly and the end was a British triumph. England s wars against the native races may be ac curately described in the following lines: "A smear of blood- A British yell— The natives run to cover. A Times dispatch 'God saye the Queen? Another war is over " But the present case is very different. The British have been fought to a stand still in South Africa. Ever)' battle has l»een on British colonial territory. Wherever a rush has been attempted, aw at the Modder or Tugela rivers, dis astrous defeat has been inflicted on tie English arms. Philadelphia Tiiu<-s. The Kiwi of Tills Age I>ra\v<-tli Nigh.

(From our Harrisburg Correspondent.) Still another triumph for purer pol itics and common honesty was witness ed In Philadelphia on Thursday last, when the ballot thieves and political sharpers who stuffed ballot boxes in Philadelphia were Indicted and held for trial by the grand Jury. Chief among the crowd was ex-Representa tive Samuel Salter, deputy coroner of Philadelphia. It will be remembered that a witness, who was one of the gang of repeaters from Washington, D. c , swore that Salter had placed over 200 fraudulent ballots in the ballot box before the polls were opened on elec tion morning. On the evidence of the same witness four other men charged with fraud In this same district, the Thirteenth division of the Seventh ward, were also held for trial. BALLOT BOXES OPENED. District Attorney Rothermsl, who has charge of th'-Hf- eauspil the ballot boxes to tie brought Into court anfl opened, when complete evidence of fraud was shown. Not all of the evl flenip gathered was suhmlttetl to ths grand Jury, but It was sufficient to se cure the indictment of the guilty men. There are oth«'i- eases In Philadelphia of a similar nature to come before the grand Jury within a week or two. in every one of these Instances It was shown that thf> llstis of voters hnd been enormously padded. Indeed, It Is believed that not Ifss than 65,000 fraudulent mime* havf been added every year to the voting 1! ts of Phila delphia by the Quay machine. The farmers and rural people of Pennsylvania are vitally Interested in this. It take.' thousands of dollars out of their pofkets every year. Under th» present, law the appropriation for pub lic schools Is divided upon this basis; first, of the number of pupils enrolled; Recond, the numbei of ti-achers employ ed; third, the number of taxables in the district. Philadelphia gets full credit, therefore, <-very year for 05,000 bogus citizens whir}i she does not pos sess. and fui that basis draws thou sands of dollars from the state treasury that should go to the counties.
