One Philadelphia correspondent uses | strong language about it and puts it this way—"Upon the issue of the elec- 1 tlon for a few coLuty offices in Philadel phia next month will depend the ques tion whether or not Pennsylvania shall continue to be dominated by as smooth a crew of political pirates as ever scut tled a political ship or cut a political throat They are fighting a desperate battle in this good old city of Brotherly Love. It is pre-eminently the people against the gang which has not only relentless ly ruled this city with a rod as powerful In its graft proclivities in this modern Babylon as was Aaron's water producer in the desert; bnt the same gang whose political ramifications throughout the State are such that for years it has «. been able to dictate every act passed by the Legislature and every penny ap propriated for public work and charity, bnt, if all the indications count for any thing- the gang will go down " The Philadelphia Councilmanic inves tigation of the administration of Mayor Wearer began Tnesday with a series of incidents that may result in producing all the evidence it desires, but not of the character calculated to make good working campaign material for the ma chine. It denied the Mayor and his directors admission to the meeting, and when it attempted to bring ont damaging evi • dence from Superintendent of Police |iSp Taylor foand he was not only willing, but anxious to go on record as a perfect witness He told them that former Director of Public Safety Smyth had given orders that the police must not interfere with repeaters at election time when the examining member en deavored to cut off this form of testi mony by asking how the homes of the people were protected he promptly re plied that it was done by men who had served time in the penitentiary and whoae pictures removed from the Rogues' Gallery by this same r former Director Smyth. Official End of the War. I At Washington, last Saturday, the £ personal representatives of the Emperor L of Russia and the emperor of Japan | signed their respective copies of the | peace treaty, thus officially ending the I Baron Rosen, the Russian ambas f gador, called at the state department | Saturday morning and told Secretary | Root information had reached him that I the emperor of Russft had early in the I day affixed his signature to a copy of I the treaty. The Russian foreign office I advised the French government of the I act of signature, and that government I In turn advised the Japanese govern- II ■■■ ment. I A few minutes after noon Minister 1 Takahira appeared at the state depart- I ment with a message stating that the I emperor of Japan had signed the treaty I St Tokyo. A cablegram was immedi- K ately dispatched to Spencer Eddy, I charge of the American embassy at St. | Petersburg, who was instructed to in- K form the Russian foreign office that the | emperor of Japan bad performed bis IH - part, and so both copies of the treaty B having been duly signed and each of ■ the great nations lately engaged in ■ hostilities, having been officially in ■ formed of the fact, the Russo-Japanese ■ war which began February 8, 1904, with ■ the attack by Togo's fleet upon the Rus- K , sian ships at Port Arthur, terminated I * officially October 14, 1905. I - STRIKES and red flags are again the ■ order of the day in St. Petersburg; and ■ in Armenia the fighting continues. ■, THE people of Tokyo gave the Ad s' miral of the British fleet and his party, | a ronsing reception, last Thursday. H CHARLES M. SCHWAB, having secured ■ large mining interests in Nevada, will B acquire a residence there with a view to mt succeeding Senator Newlands in the I t United States Senate. It is generally ■ conceded that Mr. Schwab has the qual ■| ifications to represent Nevada in the , upper branch of CongTess, his wealth I being estimated at something like fifty ■ millions. B JUDGE POKTEI;, of Lawrence county, ■ Pa., says he will not appoint trust com ■ panies as guardians of minor children. Hp . lie believes u guardianship should be of B higher relationship than the mure B handling of finances. B SINCE the partial alliance between B England and France has become public, B the German press has been attacking B the policy of the English government, B so bitterly that Germany is suspected B of intending to interfere in and take B | advantage of the Austro-Hungary crisis B TUE great bronze doors desigued for B the main entrance to the new Pennsyl- B vania State Capitol at Harrisburg were H hnng last Saturday in what iB officially Hp known as the "People's Portal." These H doors are similar in design to those at ■ the entrances to the north and south H wings, except that they are more elab ■ orate and about twice the size of the Others. They cost $410,000, and are re ■ • garded as among the finest pieces of ■ bronze work in this county. ■ IT does really look as though the old laws govering our national domain should all be repealed and new ones en ■ acted with a yiew to excluding every - ■ body bat acntal home-seekers. Millions B and millions of acres have, under the present system, gotten into the hands of syndicates and speculators. The public lands should be reserved for those who will utilize them for agri cultural purposes and thns add to the K i National prosperity by increasing the grain .crop. Fanners constitute the backbone of national character and he 1 K who desires an opportunity to cultivate ■ the soil should have preference over the had shark.—Spirit. The National Domain. (.1 alius Chambers in Pg. Dispatch.) Indications are that the worst of the lind frauds in Oregon has not been told. It appears to have reached to the State a? well as the Government lands. Gov ernor Chamberlain is ont with a letter in which he charges D. J. Keliher of Salem with acquiring' 100,000 acres of State lands by fraud, similar in general terms to that employed by Senator Mitchell and his coparceners. The stealing of the public land, whether State or national, ought to be made a capital offense—like horse stealing in the Far West. Although Attorney General Knox when in office began the proceed ings that have resulted in the convic tion of a few scoundrels in Oregon the same thievery has been going on for .50 years in every State beyond the Missouri river. Each and every one of these cases of palpable fraud ought to be re opened and the fraudulent sales invali dated What is the use of public crit icism of presidents and directors of trust companies and life insurance com panies when it is well known that a long line of Secretaries of Interior have winked at the stealing of public lands by members of the political parties to . which they belonged? They have hesi tated to arrest the despoilment of the I Nation "because it might injure the Grand Old Party." This is not idle talk from a Republican l know it to be true. Senators and Representees have known about crooked work in the land department for years, and yet there wasn't a single man in the bunch who would introduce a resolution ask ing for an investigation: The Demo crats are as bad as the Republicans. What is the use of a minority if it be not charged with exposing the chicanery of the majority. All majorities grow corrupt and arrogant. What do we see instead? A lot of cheap politicians going around the world on a junket when their duties lay at home. Of what relative importance are the Philippines to the people of this country compared to the safeguarding of the public domain? Several million acres of Government land have been stolen by trick and device while the trusted Secretaries of the Interior — Chief Justices of the Chancery Court that is popularly supposed to safeguard the interest of the helpless millions of our citizens—were asleep. This subject is one calculated to make j a native born or naturalized citizen of this republic very angry. One has only to cross half a dozen times on the ocean steamers to ascertain that millions of acres of the best grazing land of this country are in the possession of brag gart English capitalists who flout us to our faces with the fact that they do not owe any allegiance to the United States and would not give up their British citizenship. And yet these intruders have gathered up this land which wonld furnish thousands of homesteads for de sirable agricultural population. This foreign ownership of land is what has cursed Ireland for 200 years, and day will come when it will cause revolu tion and international complications. Nine-tenths of these vast areas of terri tory have been acquired by connivance at fraud! Talk with any former official in the land office and you cap learn that these words are true. The men in of fice today will not dare tell the truth — although they are assured that there is a man in the White House who has not the slightest toleration for thievery in public office. THE Lewis and Clark Centennial at Portland closed last Saturday, and it is said to have been a success financially. ONE COW lying on an lowa railroad track, last Sunday, caused the death of five men, and the destruction of two locomotives and eleven cars of grain. It is believed that the President in his forthcoming message to Congress will deal even more forcibly with the ne cessity of vigorous Federal control or supervision of corporations engaged in interstate commerce than he did last year. The investigations conducted by the Department of Commerce and Labor, through the bureau of corpora tions, into the workings of the beef trust and the private car lines, and the very startling developments brought out by the New York inquiry as to, the affairs of the great life insurance com panies, would seem to emphasize the need for such supervision as will more efficiently guard the rights of the public in these directions. LUTHER BURBANK has done more, and is doing more, for humanity, than perhaps any other American. He was bqjn in Massachusetts in 1449 and re moved to California in 1875. Mr. Bur bank, by infinite pains and industry, coupled with superior intelligence, has produced a degree of perfection in fruits and vegetables that is marvellous All his life has been quietly but earnestly devoted to this work. The great im provement in the potato within the past quarter of a century is mainly due to his efforts, as well as the production of the finest varieties of prunes and roses. Only recently Mr. Burbank succeeded in developing a variety of cactus with out thorns, which is a nourishing and palatable food for cattle. When this is substituted for prickly pear, and other thorny cacti which grow so abundant ly in the great plains of the Southwest immense herds of cattle will flourish and fatten there that otherwise could not have existed. End of the Tajfgart Case At Wooster, 0., Friday, the Judge who heard the divorce case of Major Elmore F. Taggart against his wife, rendered his decision, He granta Major Taugart the divorce and the custody of the two children. Culver, aged 11, and Charles, aged 7. Although Mrs. Taggart is denied pos session of the children she will be per mitted to see them Major Taggart was in conrt daring the reading of the decision. Judge Eason reviewed the p«titions, cross petitions, answers and affidavits, and in the course of his statements said the testimony was deeply touching. The charge of drunkenness against Major Taggart, the court said, was not sustained. Judge Eason, in his decision, said he considered that infidelity was proven in the case of Lieutenant Fortesuue at Fort Leavenworth, and with Wm. Tag gart, better known as "Billy" Tagtrart of Orryille, O. Extreme cruelty was SroveD, he said, wbaa Mrs. Taggart left im at Fort Leavepworth, when he was critically ill. General Miner did not escape a severe scoring. Judge Eason said: "I am not sure that he was not implicated in this more than it appears on the surface." He also scored Miner for falsifying Taggart's record, and bringing in the baa things he is alleged to have done and leaving out the good service for which he had complimented him in the spring of 1908. "I think Taggart s love was marvel ous," said Judge Eason, "for even when he knew hi* wife was guilty of being untrue, he atili wiched, for tho child ren's sake. to forgive hw 2nd live with her again " The only blot upoo Maior Taggart, is the story given by Emlua and Mrs. Vose, regarding his fondness for a "tobacco chewing Filipino " This case will probably be followed by the court martlals of the officers im plicated. ACCIDENTS. Ray Rhoades, aged 2-i years, and son of .T C. Rhoades of Zelienople was struck by two trains on the B. & O. at Harmony Junction. Friday afternoon, and almost instantly killed. He was a brakeman and jumped off nis own train to flag other trains on the main line, when he was struck by an engine going one way and thrown directly in front of one going the other way. It was a remarkable accident. John H. Kelly, formerly of Clay twp. and Foxburg and lately night switch m MI at the Car Works, was run over by an engine at the "Works, I ridav night, and so badly cut up and mangled that he died soon after. He set a switch and signalled the engineer: and then started to cross the track before the engine came up when his foot caught and he was thrown directly in front of it. Both of his legs and one arm were crushed, and his body injured. He was taken to the Hospital.S but expired soon after reach.ng it. He was li 7 years of age, and is survived by his wife, four small children, two brothers and tv o sisters: Charles Kelly, an oil man in West Vir ginia: James Kelly, of West S.inbnry: Mrs. Harry Cumberland, Insitute Hill; Mrs. Charles Mershimer, Sheraden. i Geo Milliron, superintendent of the McKee limestone and sandstone quar ries at West Winfield, was attacked by three foreign workmen last Friday, at Monroe station. One struck him over the head with an iron bar, and another raised a dirk knife, when a stranger came to his rescue and knocked the knife out of the man's hand. The men fled before they could be arrested. Mill iron was badly injured. An Englishman named Collins, on his wav west, died on the train near Valencia, Tuesday. Wm. Findlay, a Mercer county farm er, after having his left hand cut off in a corn-cutting machine, picked up the severed member and walked a mile to a doctor's office. He stanched the flow of blood by tieing a piece of twine about his wrist, pulling the knots with his teeth. Oil and Gas Notes. The Market—sl.s6 Bntler twp—The Southern No. 2 Waldroii is rated at 20 barrels. A rig is up on the Duffy; the old Mcßride well is doing about 12 barrels Penn twp—The Guilford Co's.

There are 11 wells drilling in the field west of the Bakerstown tunnel Jefferson twp—The Cypher well at Dilks Station was drilled in yesterday and with good indications. A line fight is on between Gahagan & Co. and the Philips Gas and Oil Co. at the Barr pool in Jefferson twp. Phil lips is putting up a rig as fast as possible for a well on the I. P Bartner farm, the stake for which is only feet from the line of the Wyant farm, on which is Gahagan's best well. Ga hagan in turn has located for a well twentv-five feet on the other side of the fence. At the northeast end of the pool Phillips has a location made on the 6. Caldwell about eighty feet from Ga bngan'B line and across the fence Gahag an is protecting himself by a location on the Wyant. Gahagan took np the Wyant and other leases after Phillips had dropped them after carrying them for years, and this probably accounts for the line-crowding Gahagan &Co s. No. 1. Kate Barr is pnmping 40 barrels a day and their No. 1, Wyant, 95 barrels a day, and the wells are said by the ganger to be the two best wells in Pennsylvania today. Phillips No. 1 Caldwell is doing 5 or six barrels a day and No. 1 Burtner, which was put to pumping Tuesday after being given two shots, is making 5 or 0 barrels from a very hard sand The Wyant farm was bought by Milton Wyant, a young driller who is now in est Virginia, from Samuel Barr, dec'd. for |2o<>o.
