THURSDAY, DECEMBER I. 1904.

POLITICAL!.
The Mercer county rapera give Will
liams' official vote for judge as «554,
Pettit's aa 3811 and Mc-Conkey's as 831,
and ytt put Williams' plurality at only
638, and one wonders what became of
tbe ether two-thousand votes.
Roosevelt had 8514 in that county and
Parker (D & I) 8845.
The official vote in Allegheny county
gives Rooaevelt 09,174 plurality.
The official vote of Lawrence <*>unty
gives Porter, Democrat, 2118 majority
over Wallace, Republican, for Judge.
The official count of the state, for the
late election was not finished until last
Saturday. The figures are: Rooaevelt,
R, 840.949, and Parker, D , 835,480, and
Parker, Ind., 2568, making Rooeevelt's
plurality 502,951. Swallow had 33.717.
and Debs, Soc.. 21.863, and Corregan,
Boc. Lab., 2,211. Elkins over Thomp
son had 427,286.
Senator Scott, of West Virginia, has
set a pace for those who oppose tariff
revision. He has this line printed in
red ink across all his correspondence
stationery:
''Let well enough alone."
Incoming Senators admit that senti
ment favoring tariff revision is slowly
increasing. Senator Hale says the peo
pie of Maine are strongly opposed to
revision and do not want reciprocity
with Canada.
Senator Foraker does not favor an
extraordinary session of Congress. The
subject, he thinks, can be handled just
as well at the regular session a year
from now.
Senator McCumber believes there
should bt> some changes, especially on
steel, bnt the people of North Dakota
are not clamoring for radical action
which might effect prosperity.
Roosevelt's majority in Nebraska
waa over 48,000, Col. Bryan evidently
sized up the situation pretty well when
he informed the Parker committee that
there was no hope of carrying his state.
The official returns from the various
states are being compiled with the ex
traordinary result that in every case
the majorities for Roosevelt are larger
than had been estimated at any time.
Thus Pennsylvania turns up with more
than half a million plurality for Roose
velt, Illinois has over 300,000, and far
away Washington over 72,000. As yet
not one- ha If of the states have com
pleted the official count, but all are ex
pected to early this month.
The clerk of the national house of
representatives has been making up the
list of members chosen at the recent
election to the Fifty-ninth congress and
finds that the Republicans will have a
majority of 118, the largest in history.
Tbe Republicans had 115 in the Forty
third congress and 112 in the Fif(ty
fourth congress, while the Democrats
had a still greater majority in the Fifty
second congress. The effect of this dis
proportion will be to compel the speaker
to reduce the .minority representation
on oommittees unless be decides to ap
point individual Democrats to several
committees.
3ome idea of the Republican tidal
wave can be had by the fact that Mis
souri, which Las only one Republican
and 15 Democrats in the present house,
has elected nine Republicans and seven
Democrats. In each of the big delega
tions from Pennsylvania, Illinois and
Ohio there will be only one Democrat.
One Republican was elected in North
Carolina, which has at present a solid
Democratic delegation, while the Re
publicans gained three members in Cal
ifornia, two in Indiana, one each in
Kentucky, Delaware Massachusetts,
Michigan, Nebraska and Nevada. New
York gave the Republicans a gain of
six congressmen.
COMMENTING on Sibley's letter to the
public of Venango county, claiming
fraud and graft in the Franklin Coiyt
House, the "Citizen-Press" says:
When this Government was first
founded there were in the monarchies
of Europe many thinkers who freely
predicted that it could not long endure.
They argued that a republic required
such a high standard of character, as
well aa of ability, that it was only a
question of a brief space of time till it
must collapse. The lust for power, tbe
thievery and corruption 6n the part of
officials, the general incapacity and
worthlessness of the masses, together
with the indifference of the better ele
ments of society, they alleged as snf
ficent causes for the downfall of any
country not held in check by a king and
t titled aristocracy. Democracy, in
their opinion, was weak and grossly in
competent, and in the present state of
human development could not long
maintain its sway.
Fortunately these croakers have so
far proven false prophets. Ir is true
that there hive been scoundrels in of
fice; that there have been those uot in
public life, who have by connivance of
officials robbed the Government, aud
brought it at times into shameless dis
repute. There have been those in war
who have turned traitors, and have en
deavored to betray their country* to
"those who were seeking its very life
Nevertheless, government of, for and
by the people, has not perished, bnt
stands today still firm and resolute, and
let us hope even stronger by reason of
its victories over mauy a powerful and
cunning adversary.
The great majority of onr citizens
still prize honesty in private and official
life, the public schools help to spread
intelligence broadcast over the land'
•nd though we have no titled aristo
cracy (and if appearances are to be trust
ed never will have), yet, as a rule, those
moat favored by fortune, in the matter
of material wealth and mental equ'p
ment, have not turned out to be indif
ferent to the general welfare, bat on
the contrary, have shown an iutereet
sad zeal which might tfell inspire all
others to emulate their example.» In
tills devotion of all good citizens to the
canse of honesty and pure government,
lies the hope not atone of the perpetuity
of existing institutions, but also of the
maintenance of individual prosperity,
happiness, and even good morals. We
are all part of the mechanism of society.
If one wheel is broken or works badly,
all are more or less affected.
Venango county is claimed to have
baen wronged and defrauded. Money
which belonged to the people in their
collective capacity in believed to have
gone in large sums, by corrupt means,
into th=* pockets of individuals. It re
mains for the courts to determine who
the guilty parties are; to inflict punish-!
ment, and, if possible, to obtain resti- j
tution. It is the duty of all citizens to J
consider this a personal matter, and to j
give to tboee acting in their behalf cor
dial and active suppoit.
WAR NOTES.
For now nearly seven weeks the Rus
sian and Japanese armies have face<l
each other in their intrenched lines
aloug the Sakhc river.a few miles south
of Mnkden. in Manchnria. with nothing
to report excepting a few small skirm
ishes and minor casualties Tbe winter
is on: the climate there is somewhat
similar to that of Minnesota or Wiscon
sin; the country has been impoverished
and deserted,and this deadlock between
two great armies is. perhaps, the most
remarkable in history.
The only skirmish worth noting dar
ing the past week was that of last Sun
day, an attack on a Russian outpost,
during a "blinding snow-storm," in
which the Jape were repnlsed.
The first division of the Baltic nggie
sration of war vessels was reported cff
the Ivory or Guinea coast of Africa,
last week,heading for the Cape of Good
Hope which point has probably been
reached and doubled by this time.
By Sunday morning of this week the
second division had passed through the
Suez Canal, and was at anchor in the
harbor of Suez. It has probably passed
through the Red Sea and into the In
dian ocean by this time.
The two divisions will probably meet
at some point on the eastern coast of
Africa, controlled by Germany, or at
Madagascar, controlled by France, be
fore proceeding eastward, and it will
be at least a full month before the fleet
arrives in Chinese waters. Its move
ments upon its arrival in Japanese or
Chinese waters are a subject of much
speculation. It will not be in a condi.
lioD after so long a voyage to try con
clusions at once with the Jap fleet. Its
coal bunkers will be empty, its machin
ery strained and its bottoms fouled. It
will need to go into port, and its natural
objective point is Vladivostok. Unfor
tunately, the harbor there is ice-locked
during the winter months and the open
ing of a channel might not be feasible
That is why some think that it may
put into the German port of Kiao-Chou
and get into fighting trim under Ger
man protection. That would be a flag
rant breach of neutrality, but it is as
serted that the Czar and the Kaiser
have arranged for this to be done. The
Japs complain bitterly of English and
German coal merchants selling coal to
the fleet.
So far as can be gathered from the
meagre, disjointed and often contradic
tory dispatches which constitute the
only available source of information,
the situation of the garrison at Port
Arthur is growing daily more desper
ate and the besiegers are making a
progress which, though slow, is sure,
they have dug and harrowed and rush
ed their way to positions from which it
is believed that they can deliver an ef
fective assault against three of the most
important of the outer works by which
'the citadel is defended, and in a dis
patch from Washington the statement
is made, upon what is described as ex
cellent authority, by which is no doubt
meant the authority of some member c f
the Japanese legation, that General
Nogi has received orders from Tokio to
deliver another general attack at the
earliest practicable moment, and to
force it home at no matter how terrible
* cost. It may not be possible for him
to execute his instructions, but he is
certain to make a strong attempt, and
now when the Russian garrison is great
ly reduced, enfeebled and disheartened,
he may be able to do what he conld not
accomplish three months ago.
An assault was made on one of tbe
outer posts, last Sunday, which, the
Russians say was repulsed with great
loss to the Japs, but which the Japs say
was successful, and enables their long
range guns to reach every part of the
town and inner harbor.
In the meantime the movement in
Russia to secure representative govern
ment is progressing, and it begins to
look as though the liberal element there
would accomplish something. The
memorial of the Zemstvo conference
was received by the Czar, and he had a
long conference with four of the dele
gates, which may lead to'the organiza
tion of a Russian Parliment.
The mobilization of reserves which is
going on to supply the extraordinary
demand for troops caused by the war,
is attended by resistence and riots in
many parts of the country. These dis
turbances are so violent and widespread
that they create new military problems,
since regular troops have to be kept up
on home service to suppress outbreaks.
A remarkable feature of the situation
is the women's riot which took place in
the Ismeil district in Southern Russia.
It is stated that a thousand wives and
other relatives of reservists, who had
been sent avay, stormed the govern
ment buildings and could not be dis
persed until the governor distributed a
sum of money among them to relieve
their necessities. A circumstance * hat
powerfully contributes to the disorders
is that the mobilization system appears
to be breaking down under the strain
put upon it. The reservists when they
are collected find themselves without
adequate supplies of food a>i.l clothing
and heip themselves by sukiug oi.oj*
und factories. Tho disturbiuce appears
to be greatest in Southern Russia, but
it'is said to extend imre or less through
oat the country, lu spite of all pre
cautions there is a continual exodus of
fugitives across the border, and it is es
timated that at least 20,000 rtservi-ts
have escaped in this way.
Another feature of the situation is
thy lack of military equipment, so that
it is estimated that there is great diffi
culty in fitting ont even 150,000 soldiers
for active service. In the artillery arm
this Jack of equipment has caused the
various military centers on the Euro
pean frontier to be drawn up.jn heavily
So great is the necessity for scraping up
needed equipment wherever it may be
found, that it is stated that the Eighth
armv corps, recently sent from Crimea
to Manchuria, had to draw npon snch
distant points as Piiland and the Baltic
provinces for its field batteries.

ACCIDENTS.
Homer, a son of Themis Gibson of
Penn twp., met with a sad death, last
Friday afternoon. His parents were at
the funeral of a friend at the time, and
Homer undertook to haul in some
from the woods for firewood. He went
to the woods with a hcrs« aud sled, and
seems to have succeeded in nutting a '
log on the sled, when for some reason ;
not known it rolled over upon him. pin- ,
ing him to the ground a;:d breaking his
neck. His sister found him, sometime
after, lying face downwards upon the
ground, with the log yet resting upon
him. and upon removing the log saw
that he was dead. Help was summon
