THE BUTLER CITIZEN. ' WTLLIAJI C. XEGLEY, - Publisher THTKSDZY, DECEMBER 21,1905. SLM ftr year li Airaacc, Otherwise S3 JO Christmas Giving. Daring the past few days the streets and the shope have been thronged with buyer* all intent on selecting articles to pleaae others In most cases the gifts axe for members of their own family, bat in every instance the thought of the purchaser was intent on someone be sides himself. Thus for the season it may be said that the whole civilized world is in pursuit of objects to bring happiness to others, and thus the spirit of tb** occasion seems to be a reversal of the ordinary pursuits which are intent on gratifying self. ID this absorbing occupation the origin of the custom is forgotten and with many the signifi cance of the holiday is no longer asso ciated with the great event in the Christian religion. Thus the Jew vies with the Gentile iu the benevolence that seems to permeate the very atmos phere and cheer tbe closing hours of the year. Pessimists, who assert that the world it growing sordid, should suspend their sweeping conclusions drawn from the ordinary relations of men to take note of sentiment that seems to soften the asperity of this month and to reveal an acknowledgement of the brotherhood of man. Thousands of the gifts may sim ply express the prevalence of a eastern, bat there are many instances of self sacrifice that add blessings to the ex change of gifts, and the new year opens i with tbe sense of pleasure that always » follows the granting of favors. At Christmas time the whole word ap- ; pears to be lifted to a higher plane, and tbe world grows better with each uplift. < There ia continual hope for the future ; resulting from the Christmas impulse to look away from self, eveo though bat for a short period. We wish all our readers a Merry Christmas and a Happy, Prosperous New Year. \ » Retrospect of 1005. The year &at is now drawing to a close is destined lo stand out in bold relief as haying witnessed some of tbe most momentous events in the world s history Tbe first of these, the peace of Portsmouth, marked the gathering in of the fruits of tbe stupendous naval and military straggle in the Far East, and the formal entry of tbe Japanese people into the front rank of the great powers of the world. By that treaty Japan won for China and for herself all, and more than all, for which she took up arms, and thereby added valuable political and strategical advantages to the moral and military prestige that " she had secured by her successful prose cution of the war. The indirect re ralta of the straggle, however, are greater than those for which the war waa fought: for if we read tbe signs of times aright, it will be to the disasters in Mancharia and in the Sea of Japap that Russia will be indebted for the and political upheaval of which we ate witnesses at this very hoar, i Much as we deplore the awful excesses that accompany this straggle, it is oar belief that out of it tbe Russians will emerge a free and contented people. t destined to hold more securely than •ever their commanding position among the nations of tbe world. It is entirely possible that the signing of the Treaty of Portsmouth marked tbe close of the < last great war to be waged between civilized powers. The enormous cost of modern war, its liability to bring •bout either a financial or a political |:i* cataclysm, has given to it a new terror t Kings, Parliaments and Congresses will hesitate before they resort to arms as a final arbitrament. An even sarer pre ventive of war, and a most hopeful sign of permanent peace, is found in tbe in creasing tendency of the nations to fraternize as man with man Such in cidents as the recent extraordinarily friendly receptions accorded to visiting | v foreign fleets, and particularly the cor " dial fraternization of the crews as seen in France and this in country, have a £ profound significance. Can it be that the era of universal i>eace has already stolen in npon us unannounced 1 We shall not be charged with having an undue estimate of tbe importance of ►V' the Panama Canal, if we state that this ia one of the most serious problems, political, commercial or military, con | fronting this country to-day ; nor shall we be accused of undue pessimism if we suggest that the way in which we have handled this great problem daring tbe past few months has added nothing to our reputation for constructive and ex ecutive ability in a work of this mag nitude. There have been resignations without number, including that of tbe Chief Engineer; we have appointed Boards of Control, only summarily to disband them , we have spent ten mil lion dollars, even before we know what ;• kind of a canal we intend to build, or by What particular method we will t, build it; and finally, after calling to gether an advisory board composed of the most representative engineers of the • world, in order that they may tell us joat what kind of a canal we thould construct, we are hysterically threaten ing to ignore their decision even before | they have bad time officially to render it. We are of tbe opinion tbat there •re joat three things for tbe United States to do, if it is to maintain its national dignity and successfully carry through this gigantic work; the first is [ f to accept without question the type of P ~ canal recommended by the Board; the second, Is to let the work by contract under the alwolute sui»ervi*ion of a Chief Engineer; and the third is to vote him ungrudgingly tbe appropriations which are necessary to carry on the • work upon the scale, and by tbe methods be shall determine. If this be done, the United States within a single decade, will possess a sea-level canal, deep enough and broad enough for any possible development in tbe size of tbe abips of the future and capable of giving I * them unhindered passage from the Atlantic to the one tidal lock on tbe Pacific. Moreover if these conditions are fulfilled, we are satisfied that a sea level canal will be placed at tbe service of the country in practically the same time as one bu'lt witblocks and having tbe same capacity.— Sci.

The school teachers of Butler county —the conservators of the wisdom, pa triotism and morals of the community, according to the orators—are with us this week, and have been spending the greater part of their waking hours in the Court Room, listening to tb'«e who have been engaged to instruct and en tertain them. Superintendent Penfield called the In- . etitnte to order at 1:30 Monday after uoon, with 300 teachers present and en- j rolled Dr. Ketler of Grove City led off with a few remarks on morality, and the duties of teachers; Judge Galbreath welcomed the teachers to everything in Butler they have the money to pay for 1 and then some: and Prof Wheeler of Mars responded for the teachers, and j made a good speech—he had something : new to say The music teacher led in singing, one of the "instructors got bnsy, and tbe institute was considered "opened." Tuesday morning Prof. W P, Day oonducted a conference on the nse and abuse of text books; devotional exer cises were concfucted by Rev. J. Q C. McQuistion of Fairview. The lectures were delivered by Dr. Gillan, State Supt. Stetson of Maine, Chancellor S. B. McCormlck of the Western Univer sity of Pennsylvania and City Supt. Gibson. Prof S. G. Smith, principal of the Capitol Hill University of Music, Col umbus, Ohio, is making a hit as the musical instructor. Tuesdav evening Capt. Jack Craw ford, the poet scout of New Mexico, en tertained an immense audience in the Majestic with an account of some of his own experiences, recitations of some of his poems and singing. Rev. Dr. D. L. Johnson of the M. E. church conducted devotional exercises Wednesday morning and the speakers Tor the day were, besides Drs Stetson and Gillan. Dr. A. E. Maltby and Prof. Murphy of Slipperyrock. Before the opening exercises Prof. Page conducted a conference on waste in school work. The teachers have to pay close attention because the instructors sometimes call individuals to stand up and answer questions. Last evening Father L J. Vanghn of Wisconsin lectured on "Sermons From Shakespeare." Capt. Jack Crawford visited Institute Wednesday afternoon and was called on to again recite his poem, ' When tbe Hand of God is Seen." Prof. Gillen bad been asking ques tions in geography which were not an swered very well, and Capt. Jack told them if be bad ever gone to school he would know more geography thanjthev did. The jail was full of teachers yester day afternoon, not as prisoners, bat be cause Sheriff Gibeou threw the doors open to visitors. This evening the Cremona Concert Co.. composed of ladies and one basso singer, will appear in the Majestic Theatre, and the Institute will adjourn tomorrow afternoon. POLITICAL.

Congress. Assembly, Jury Commis sioner and Delegates to the State Con vention will engage the attention of the voters at the Spring primaries. IttiHslun Notes. Livonia, one of tbe Baltic provinces of Russia was the scene of violence last week—the peasants burning estates and murdering the nobility, who were originally from Germany, and not in sympathy with the natives called Letts. Tbe city of Riga, the principal seaport of Livonia, is now controlled by the Revolutionary Committee, and the government has ordered a fleet of war vessels to the harbor. Massacres of Jews continue all over tbe Empire, and the revolutionary com mittees have control of several cities. Tbe Czar refused the petition of tbe reactionaries, and will hold fast to bis proclamation of Oct. 80, guaranteeing a constitutional monarchy. Court Witte is greatly disappointed with the students and others to wli'>ui he looked for support, and is quoted as saying: "The emperor is a truly kind and worthy man, clean in bis life, unselfish, earnestly laboring for Russia's welfare. But some of bis kinsmen are among tbe worst men In Europe, and the emperor knows it. "How could I advise my sovereign, himself a harnane and just man, to lay the wlii[>s of the Cossacks across the faces of men and the backs of women whose economic collapse is trai nable to grand ducal libertines, liars, thieves and degenerates I might give him advice what to do with these wretches If be asked me for it. but the affairs of the imperial family are not within the range of my office." The correspondent adds that Wltte spoke with a blending of bitterness and sorrow. An American who arrived at Vienna from Warsaw, last week, said that when he drove to the station to take a train for Vienna his carnage was stop ped by strikers, and it was only per initted to proceed when the driver had removed his ui.lform coat and donned a coat of sheepskin like that worn by peasants. "All tbe people who were able to leave Warsaw," he ssys, "have already i departed, and tbe sltnation is growing ! more serious every day. It is no exHg geration to say tbe power of the Leagu* of Leagues seems to be almost unlimit ed. Tbe streets are frill of agitators , who declaim from the corners " Arthur Lefflngwell, American consul at Warsaw, who is .'pending a few dara in Vienna, although reticent, saems to be impressed with of th 9 situation at Warsaw. He said: "The property-owning classes, even those who are heartilv in favor of revo lution seem to be in the grip of terror, fearing the extreme revolutionists, who are advocating the destruction of life and property, and who may soon be able to increase their power for evil. Even now it is absolutely unsafe to be on the streets, either by day or by night. For a long time the newspapers have not dared to refer to the tragedy, but now they flout the censor and publish accounts of these desperate happenings.' On Saturday night last the Work men's Council and the League of Leagues issued a declaration of a gener al strike to begin immediately, and by an imperial ukase published next morn ing all governors general, governors and prefects throughout the empir who are cat off by telegraph were clotL 1 with almost dictatorial powers. be..:g au thorized, without consulting St. Peters burg, to declare a state of siege and if necessary even martial law. As most of the provincial authorities are leactionary officials of the old regime, the advantage they will take of such power to terrorize the populace can be easily imagined, they being in poai tion to become petty tyrants, and wage war each in his own particular fashion against the revolutionists. Yesterday a call was issued at St. Petersburg for a general strike throuh ont Russia, to begin at noon today. The call is approved by the anion of anions, the union of peasants, the gen eral railway union and the councils of workmen of St. Petersburg and Mos cow. A response received from the railway men of Moscow is unanimous for a strike. The leaders have declared their ability to stop every railroad in Russia. The strike order renders every mem ber of the unions signing it liable to ar rest and punishment under the new strike law, and Minister of the Interior Dnrnovo attempted to telegraph orders to Moscow to arrest members of the railway union and of the workmen's council, but the dispatches were held up by the railroad telegraphers. WASHINGTON NOTES Rep. Hu£E has introduced pension bills granting D. W. Graham of Butler $25 a month; Win. Ralston of Zelie nople, *so: J. L. Beattv of Evans City, S3O. On Thursday last Rep. Dalzell intro duced a bill which grants to the Lake Erie & Ohio Ship Canal Companv a federal charter The measure was pre pared by the attorneys of the syndicate of the Pittsburg capitalists who are now doing the preliminary work on the canal. While the syndicate now has charters from Ohio and Pennsylvania, a federal charter will be of considerable advantage in pushing the work. At the Republican conference of House members it was unanitaously agreed to admit Indian and Oklahoma territories as one state. By a vote of 110 to 65 it was decided to also admit Arizona and New Mexico as one state. One bill is to cover both propositions, so there will bo two new states or none. This action is considered as binding the Republican members to support the measure which is in accord with Presi dent Roosevelt's recommendation. Oddly enough the debate was con fined to the nnion of Arizona and New Mexico and the 65 votes were in opposi tion to that proposal. On Saturday last the Senate passed tLe Canal, emergency bill, calling for eleven millions. Senator Dolliver of lowa ha* intro duced a railroad rate bill in the Senate; and Rep. Graham of Allegheny a bill regarding immigrants in the House. The Cruel CoHsackn. After 17 days of the Russian revolu tion in Warsaw, after seeing hundreds struck down by Cossacks, and after hav ing felt two bo tuba explode in the room nnder him at his hotel, the American jockey, J. C. Mitchell, fled from Russia, lie arrived at New York. Tuesday on the steamer Bluecher. Mitchell was in Russia while nnder a contract with Baron Stover. "I have had all I want of Russia." he said. "The Cosoacks are human devils without one ttaongbt beyond killing. I saw them charge into a crowd of 5.000 people in Warsaw. They used their knonts and pistols and jiwung their sword* at every head within reach. "I stayed at the Bristol Hotel, in War saw, and from November 11 to Novem ber 17, during the great strike, there were no cooks in the hotel. The night of November 15, I was playing billiards on the second floor. We heard a great shouting outside, but this had become so usual that wo paid no attention to it. Suddenly there was a fusillade of shots and a crashing of plate glass, then cries of anger from men and shrieks from women from the cafe below. "We ran to the bead of the stuirs and saw men and women rushing from the place Some dashed tip the stairs and others back through the ball to the rear. While we stood there it bomb was thrown into the cafe and exploded, wrecking the ground floor. Another bomb quickly followed, and the whole ! building seemed to shake. ' Before the sound of the explosion had died away, the crowd had swarmed through the windows and a break in the wall, and we heard the crashing of china and chairs and the breaking of tables. "Thx crowd had begun to think of the upper stories and we of some way to escape, when w« heard that inde scribable yell of tbe ('omtackn. Then came a charge of cavalry, the cries of the wounded, the crack of revolver*, the impact of horses against n living wall of people which yielded with a sickening sound "Five hundred Cossacks literally cleared their way through the crowd. Home rode their horses through the window*, catting down all inside who did not flee. <«radnuli)' fjijift was re stored. "The oflicial statement Issued shows three kilted, but three ear loads of dead bodies were taken away. "A few days after this 1 wan in the American bar, which faces on a park Htjnaio, while there wax a meeting of workmen. There were fully ft.ooo crowded in the plaod when the CJoa sacks charged and cleared the park. The Cossacks were fired upon and several were wounded, and thin appear ed to drive tbeiu to fury. They used their sabera fietiy. The place resembled a shamble*. "Home of the workmen rushed ba/.k and canght nt> the body of one of their dead comrade* audjthiew it into a wheelbarrow with the legn dangling over the front. The crowd then parad ed through the streets dinging revolu tionary songs, with the dead man wheel ed in the lead It took me two hours to got out of this crowd. "After this I went to St. Petersburg. On December « it was impossible to get a telegram or letter ont of Ht. Peters burg The only way was to give your message to a conductor on n railroad and pay hiui well to mail it at some point ont of Kussis " ACCIOEXTS. Mr?. J. M. Carnahan of W.
