In a review of the realty situation in the Pittsbnrs district the Pittsburg Press of Sunday quotes a broker as say ing that he expects to Bee the prices of oo*l lands soar a great deal higher, in the next two or three years. It was pointed out that the sales in the last year or two bad been so enormous as to cause a shortage in the supply. There m but few big blocks in the market anywhere in the Pittsburg district The Piw says that this view of the situa tion should be of value to owners of owl and they should act wisely by hold ing on to their land and awaiting de velopments. This advice can be taken for j»b»t it is worth by the fanners of Butler county who have not yet sold fhafc coat. The fact remains, however, that those who have waited have realiz ed much more than thoee who let go of their holdings when the first purchaser along. The value of coal lands in the greater Plttaburg district of which Butler county is an important part will continue to increase in value and it is to HM material interests of the owners of this property and of the county that they should realize from this enhance merit of values. The Democratic Millstone. —— * Mr. Bryan in his address at Chicago Saturday gave an interesting exhibition of a man so self-centered and self com placent aa to be unable to read and inter tntthetoaaooaoCthe recent past. As to bis sincerity there can be no doubt, and the certainty that be is sincere makes the spectacle all the more amazing. Mr. Bryan,while right in the conclusion he reaches that the Democratic party could not succeed with Cleveland for its nominee, is wrong in believing that the Democratic party is handicapped in any degree by the attitude of tbe Cleveland ndmlnUtration toward corporations. What is remembered against Cleveland la Us attitude on protection to Ameri can industries, and what is remembered in hto favor is his attitude toward tbe money question. His attitude toward American industries is, however, the traditional attitude of his party, and in adhering to his party's free 'trade poli cies he waa entirely true to his plat form of principles. It is. therefore tbe particular policy that distinguished Cleveland's administration that is an Impediment to his party rather'than the man himself. There is no effort in tbe Democratic party to repudiate free trade aa a cardinal plank of party prin ciple. Mr. Bryan bimslf adheres to it as strongly as does Cleveland. If we looh U >h»agtion of Democratic conven tions to find what is by tbem consider- 1 ed to be the handicap to Democratic success, we discover that there is a Strong feeling that tbe handicap is the particular party policy which was dic tated by Mr. Bryan himself in two campaigns, and which he is endeavor ing to fasten upon bis party in another campaign. Tbe lowa Democratic con be HMlHHlßsatprmctically all Demo crate approve the inspiring motive of tbe Cleveland administration, while a large atetiOß of tba Democratic party mpodtotea tba inspiring motive ;tf tba Bryan dominance of tbe Democratic party enables disinterest ed observers to sse what is obecured to Bryan's vision, that be rather than Cle veiand to looked on by Democrats as tbe I mfltotone —Pg. gazette. No Hanger of Htortn. Although United States Steel stocks touched the lowest point yesterday since the combination of vast interests, com mon selling for $25 flat, the market showed a slight tendency toward recov •ry at tbe close, and all alarm over the possibility of a financial storm has been pretty generally dispelled, even in tbe most conservative of business circles. Tbe depression of leading stock* is a fixed programme with many of tbe most influential operators of Wall St.; but, tba dally battles having narrowed down to men who are able to stand the rude sboc&s of war, tbe public is well satisfied to leave tbem to their own method? to long as tbe prosperity of tbe country and tranquility in tbe financial world arenot disturbed. Tbe general belief to that a return to higher atocb values to only a question of a short time, although this desirable condition will hot be reached without severe losses to thousands of heavy in vestors the country over: while as for Urn small fry in the market, they have already been pretty generally wiped off tbe speculative earth.— Dispatch. MOBK than 990,000,000 worth of dia monds sad other precious Atones were bronght Into the U. 8. daring the fisca 1 y#ar which ended June HO. This amount U the largest of say year in the histo ry of oar commerce and an increase of 60 per cent over last year. Folly *25.- 000.000 of this vast sum represented the yalne of the imported diamonds alone. PIT'S s good year for crops after all Several of oar farmer friends tell us the wh)et they hare cat, tboagh short in fIM stalk, is the bent yield they've had in yea'*. Corn has grown like scandal ■inoe the rains broke the May drontb. Potatoes are a-balgia and flonrfirhing. Orssa has convalesced wonderfnily, and bay will ha in the finish with the other crops. There's quite a bit of fruit in ■pots. Aa one of our old-time local char , scters would say "Bo not dismayed; there's corn in Egypt and potatoes in the land of Nod. " YzvrZRDAY'h dispatches contained accounts of soother battle in Venezuela, in which the government troops captur ad the town of Bolivar. One para graph of tha account reads tbmdy— "The government forces, which were advancing from all directions, arrived near the centre of Cuidad Bolivar. When the inhabitants of. the commer cial and foreign parts of the <-ity Maw the advance of the government troops they abandoned their houses, crossing the streets amid a bail of bullets and ■bails, the women carrying their child ren, the strong helptng the weak. Many nan in trying to protect the women fall, struck by ballets, 4n the middle of the streets. What with the firing, the moans of the wounded and the (Tying of the women and children, n terrible ■nena waa witnessed. The government troops, however, acted with humanity, especially the forces of (Jen Kivas, who. fighting bravely, was the first to order tba attacking forces to be merciful," Public Franchises. Up in the pretty city of Toronto, | public franchises are negotiated for thr- a municipal agency repre senting the community as a whole. In-' stead of leaving street railway franchis- • ee to be scrambled for by the politi dans, the city of Toronto itself took the franchise, fixed ite terms and invited competition for a lease limited to 35 years. The main consideration was to provide accommodation for the public, and the interests of every class of the community were considered. Different classes of tickets were provided for, ran ging in price from 10 for 25 cents to 8 for 25 cents, good daring special hours. Tickets good at any time on week days 6 for 25 cents. and on Snndays at 7 for 25 cents. Moreover, it wa f provided that the ca»s should be of such design as the city engineer should approve, and that the lines thould be run on such streets, and cars should be run at as frequent intervals as the city an thorities should direct. For a franchise so conditioned and limited to 25 years, reserving to the city the right to purchase the plant at the expiration of the franchise the company which holds the lease pays $»00 per mile of single track and 8 per cent on all grow receipts up to a million dollars, the percentage increasing for each additional half million until it amounts to 20 per cent, upon all receipts over #3,000,000 per annum Thus, in ad dition to securing cheap fares for the people, the city derives a large revenue from the franchise, amounting last year to $235,447, and, moreover the company pays taxes upon all its property, the sum last year amounting to $22,758 96. The company is prosperous and declares regular dividend/*, but, of course there is no capitalization of franchise value in its stocks and bonds The exhibit shows what good municipal manage ment can do; the results of municipal mismangement and incompetency can be seen all about ns. THE Trans-Siberian Railway of Rus sia now runs four express trains every week out of Moscow, which make the trip through to Dalny, the Pacific term inus of the road in Manchuria, in thir teen days. The distance is 8,0555 versts or 4,368 miles and the fare for a first class passenger about $132.50. From Mos cow to Manchuria station is 4,197 miles and to Port Arthur 5.388 miles. The fare to Port Arthur is $134 and includes cost of passage across Lake Baikal by steamer. PROMIXEKT physicians in this coun try believe that Prof. Maragliano, of Genoa, Italy, has at last discovered a cure for consumption. Tbe Italian as serts that he has produced, after more than 30 years of study, a serum, which, introduced beneath tbe skin of tbe arm as vaccine lymph is used in vaccination, produces a small circumscribed tubercu losis sore, attended with slight fever for two days, after which tbe system of tbe subject is immune to tuberculosis or consumption. THE returns of 4th of July casualties, gathered by tbe Chicago Tribune from 200 cities and towns, foots np these to tals: Killed, 52; injured in various way s, 3,665. Tbe toy pistol was respons ible for 559 injuries; gunpowder in its many methods of use wounded 798; sky rockets. 206; firearms, -562; fireworks, 1,170; ewnon. 318. The toy-pistol's work, in the shape of lockjaw, is still going on. In seme cases the te tanus was caused by the explosion of fire crackers in the hand. | J. PIUIIPONT MOKGA N, who ha* gathered together considerable of thin world's good 9, baa an art collection valued at $6,000,000. Recently Mr. Morgan ban indicated hi* willingness to present this to a national art gallery to be established at Washington. He de sire* that thi* collection ahotild occupy a wing of the bnilding. to be construct ed at his expense, and that it be forever and eternally known as the J. Pierpont Morgan Collection. Which is not tin reasonable. THK chief glory of this Republic i* that tbe poorest and obscurest boy be tween the two oceans may become the greatest dignitary in the land. The son ot a washerwoman, if be po**e*n brain* and character and energy, i* wore likely to be a great and good man, possessing the esteem of bis fellows, tban the son of a millionaire. But strong and splendid character*, with nil tbe rneged honesty and sterling worth that honest proverty breeds, may also come ont of tbe luxurious homes of the rich. President Roosevelt was born and reared in a mansion on Fifth Ave. Bnt a large majority of our chief magistrates were poor l»oys, the sons of laborer* anil artisana. Brady's Jump. John P. Cowan wrote up Brady's Bend for last Sunday's Gazette, and winds up hia interesting article as follows: "Fonr miles from the river is the bamlet of Kaylor A few months ago this place could boast only of a store and a blacksmith shop. Mince tbe com ing of tbe railroad and the bnilding of the coal tipples its population ho* in creaaed to almost 1,000. Everywhere there are evidences of prosperity.

It seems that every tx-rson in the town has bia own version. Down on tbe bank of the river, while sitting in a skiff that is used to ferry the romantic stream, a boy pointed out a jotting cliff on the Armstrong county side of tbe stream and said confidentially: "Over yonder is where Captain Brady lumped off when the Indiana chased him. He jumped clear down ofT the top of that rock into the river and swum the *tream and they didut dare to follow him, either.'' The story Is a good one but it would be rank heresy to repeat it in Beaver Uo. where the people point out one of their hills and tell the same tale.

DEATH OF THE POPE. Poi>e Leo XIII, died at the Vatican in Home, at -1 P. M. of Monday, or about 10 A M. of our time—(there being a difference of six hours'—aged 03 years. The funeral will not occur for several days, and after that will come the elec tion of a new Pope by the College of Cardinals. In the meantime Cardinal Oreglia Dean of the Sacred College will act as Pope. The death of the pope brings about a widespread change in all the administra tive departments of the church and con siderably influences questions of church policy. The change within the Vatican affects practically all the officials from the highest to the lowest. Cardinal Rampolla retires from the post of secre tary of state, where he exercised a strong influence, owing to the physical infirmities of Leo. Other high officials are similarly affected, the master of the chamber, the under secretary of state, the vicar of Rome, the vice chancellor, the grand penitentiary, the librarian of the Vatican and a host of lesser officials. These will continue to exercise their functions until the new pope is elected, when he will designate his own secre tary of state and other officials to carry on the various important branches of the church's work. Thus there is a complete transforma ation of apoetolic authority, tbe death of the pope meaning the nominal death of all the officials under him. The pro paganda alone remains intact, as the prefect and entire machinery of the propaganda is unaffected. The chief international questions which may be affected by the death of the pope are thoe< connected with the suppression of religious orders in France, the change of the clergy in the new Spanish-Ameri can possessions, the selection of the suc cessor of the late Cardinal Vaughan and attendant questions connected with the administration of the church in Eng land. Emperor William's visit to the pope created a new bond of sympathy between Germany and the vatican All these questions are more or leaf affected by the death of the pope. Among the Vatican officials the Philippine question involving transfers from tne Spanish to the American hier archy and the elimination of the friars is regarded as one of the most impor tance. The present Philippine policy had the hearty approval of Leo XIII. and there is no reason to believe that it will be changed The relation" be tween the Italian government and the Vatican continue to be serious problems Although the temporal authority of the papacy terminated eight yean before Leo XIII became pope, ha steadfastly maintained the principle of temporal power and lost no oppitotllnity to B| deavor to secure its rne of the final scenes of a remark •>ble rouuanee was enacted in the court room at Richmond, Kentucky, last week when Gen. Cassias M. Clay. aged 93, was declared insane. A week pre viouslv Dora Richardson Brock, the divorced child wife of the aged Ken tnckian, had declared her intention of going on the stage. It is alleged Gen. ( "lay has been insane several years, and his mad love for a 16-year old girl, who was 13 when she married him, is held to be largely responsible for his condi tion. At the time of the marriage Gen. Clay was 90. He was cultured, a a man of repute in the affairs of the Nation, the scion of a famous family and the possessor of wealth. She was illiterate, untutored in the ways of the world, content amid her lowly surround ings. Gen Clay treated his wife as a child, He bought her dolls, picture books, toy furniture, and many other things which have been made to amuse children. Fi nally the old man purchased his young wife a doll about 20 inches long and filled with mechanical contrivances that caused it to talk, and cry, and laugh. The general's attempts to educate his wife were futile. She read a little and wrote a little, but she had no taste for books and art After a few months she ray away with a fanner youth, whom she married after Gen. Clay secured a divorce. The girl's second husband, whose name was Brock, died in a short time. The love of the aged soldier and diplo mat for the young country girl then sprang to life again, and he sought to have her return to Whitehall, his coun try seat, as his wife in as ardent a fashion as when she first left him to go back to her brother's humble shack in the woods. His children interfered, however, and prevented a reconcilia tion. By the proceedings in the insane court they have also blocked his plan to leave his whole estate to Dora Richard son. He is now confined to bis home with a nnrse and guards His health is poor, and it is feared he cannot live long. It is said Dora Richardson will make her first stage appearance nert month in Boston, and that she will be advertia ed as "the child wife of Gen. Cassius M Clay." Gen. (.'lay died suddenly, yesterday He was a famous abolitionist and author in his day; ana was President Lincoln's Ambassador to Russia. National Finances. The Treasury department's figures for the fiscal year show that the excess of receipts over expenditures was $.">2,- 710, 930, which may be compared with 102,000,000 in 1902 and *77,000.000 in 1901 Income was $558,887,536, and H war taxes, the internal revenue re Wlpts were reduced by nearly $42,000, •tf&O, but the receipts from customs show a gain of about s2l/,500,000. This i-* due chiefly to enlarged imports of mate rials to be aged by manufacturers, and of some finished products which coald not be obtained from our own factories without much delay. It indicates ac tivity rather than idleness in our own industries. While the total revenue was less than that of 1002 by $3,500,000 there was an addition of £55,000,000 to the expenditures. Of this incease. sls, 000,000 in to be charged to the navy and $8,000,000 to the army. The treasury's available cash balance at the end of the year was $231,415,000 and the total amount of gold in the treasury wass6Bl - 639,000, an increase of $71,000,000 in twelvemonths. At the end of the year the national bank circulation had risen to $413,670,650, the addition for the year amounting to $56,000,000, or near ly 16 per cent. The treasury,* figures do not include the revenue ($134,268,000) and the expenditures ($138,8H5,000) of the Post Office department.
