Although President Roosevelt's mes sage is remarkably long, it is interesting throughout. It is well written and evinces characteristic ability, earnestness, and strenuousness, although reasonably con servative in tone. In the main the Presi dent’s suggestions meet with the univer- sal approval of the people, regardless of political predilections. T he Ontario County Board of Supervis ors have decided not to renew the con tract with the Monroe County Peniten tiary, to which institution malefactors have heretofore been sent. They intend hereafter to care for such prisoners at the county jail, and to keep them at work. This will certainly be an economical change, which, if it shall work well other wise, is likely to be followed by other counties. 17 . S . Weather Bureau. PBMN TAN STATION. A terrible tragedy, but one that carries an instructive lesson to Southern chival ry, recently occurred in Westmoreland County, Va. Some years ago a Mr. Marx, a prominent citizen of New York, purchased a winter home in that county, where he and his family, consisting of two sons and three daughters, were wont to spend a considerable portion of their time. They became acquainted and on good terms with the best families of the neighborhood. Recently one of the sons, Herbert Marx, a young lawyer, of reputed good character, who served with credit in the war with Spain, had been —Au area o f low pressure, storm center, central r 1 uear near Memphis, Tenn., Monday a. m ., devel* spending several weeks in the home of oped great energy and passed this Station about the family In Virginia! where he associ* ran of the barometer and .$t ot an loch of ralu ated with the yonng people of the neigh- as ,l approached, and an equally rapid rise set In LISTS OF NEW OFFICERS CHOSBN FOR THE ENSUING YEAR.

SPECIAL NOTES. The numerical strength of organized labor is said to be about 1,800,000. Of non-union laborers there are probably over five times as many. Yet the latter have no power and no rights under the law as practically administered. The former influence execntives, sway legis latures, and make officials cowardly and demagogical generally. Organization rules, and without it the people are more or less impotent. The number o f admissions to the Pan- American Exposition has been officially announced. During the twenty-seven weeks of the exposition season, 8,120,048 were admitted, of whom only 5,306,859 paid, the remaining 2,813,189 being class ified under the head of free admissions. The free list seems to have been enor mously large, but it included all the em ployees o f the exposition who were con stantly passing in and out o f the grounds and making a record of admission. ManagingBditorLawzenceand Report er H. S. Canfield, of the Chicago Ameri can , who wer eeentenced to forty and thirty days in jail respectively by Judge Han- cey for contempt of court, were dismissed on the 7th Inst, by Judge Dunne, who held that the formal announcement of a decision from the bench closed the case and that a newspaper or its employes could not be in contempt for criticising the decision. Some court decisions deserve contempt, and hence it should not be deemed contemptible for news papers to criticise them. If when the first Southern State under took to disfranchise the negroes through cunning State legislation or constitutional amendments Congress had obeyed the mandate of the Federal constitution by reducing the representation of the of fending State, there would have been no further outrages of that character. But State after State was permitted to defy the constitution, until now the appli cation of the only effective remedy is certain to create serlons sectional disturbance. This country has always been too lenient in thet reatment of evils, permitting them to become alarming before applying proper correc tives. The anti-Anarchy legislation now demanded should have been enacted years ago, but, instead, the curse was al lowed to take deep root, grow, and thrive. borhood, and appears to have paid espe cial attention to a Miss Rose Taylor. A negro in the vicinity recently started the story that young Marx had, in some way, outrageously insulted Miss Taylor. A young man, a cousin of Miss Taylor, ac cepted the story as true without any in vestigation, and determined to call Marx to account for it. But instead of doing so in a brave, manly way he proceeded in true Southern style. With an armed and masked band of four of his companions, in the dead of night, he proceeded to the Marx home with the intent of treating young Marx after the fashion of the Kn- Klux or white caps. Evidently they in tended to tar and feather him, as a pot of tar, a can of kerosene, and a bundle of straw were found in the carriage. The yonng man was awakened by the attempt of the band to get into his house, and, armed with a revolver, he proceeded to defend himself as best he could. The re sult was that he killed two of the baud, seriously wounded two others, the fifth escaping by running away. A coroner’s inquest exonerated yonng Marx from all blame, bnt advised the yonng man to get out of the country, and he prudently took the advice. » Miss Taylor has since made a statement to the effect that Marx had not insulted her. That on one occasion he had kissed her, bnt she did not consider that as an insult, bnt rather otherwise. The negro appears to have witnessed the osculation, and upon that founded his story of an as sault, which led to such terrible results. The tragedy has naturally created great excitement in Westmoreland County, and although the better sentiment there may justify young Marx, it is more than probable that it would not be safe for him to return to that section. It is a very sad affair, but as heretofore stated, it teaches a lesson to Southern chivalry which may be studied with profit. after the center passed east o f here. There is some cold air following in the wake of the de pression, and it is causing snow squalls under its advancing edge. The wind reached a high vel ocity as the center passed this station. RALPH L.

EASTMAN, Observer. •Judge ot Court ot Appeals . Postal A b u ses. A preliminary examination of the books of the First National Bank of Ball- ston Spa, which recently closed its doors on account of the defalcation of its teller, Charles E. Fitcham, shows that the short age may amount to 1150,000, which is considerably more than was first antici pated. It is believed, however, that as the bank has a capital of #100,000 and had a surplus of #100,000, it may be able to resume business through an as sessment of the shareholders. Fitcham’s stealings appear to have been going on for many years. He claims that he be came a defaulter in order to meet the ex travagance of his family. He is now sick, but closely guarded by United States officials. Of course much sym pathy Is expressed for him. He might have stolen more than #150,000. In years agone the government has been swindled heavily by the smuggling of goods into this country by passengers returning to New York from abroad. The chief offenders have been millionaire dead beats, professionals, and politicians and women with a pull. In their efforts to defraud the government they have sworn falsely, bribed Inspectors, and in timidated officials. Secretary Gage is giving a pause to such criminality by a rigid enforcement of the law. Naturally he has incurred the displeasure and the severe criticisms of those who have been detected in their fraudulent efforts and disciplined as the law provides, but he is commended by right-minded people for his faithfulness and fearlessness. It is high time that those who defraud the government in a wholesale way should be punished as quickly and severely as those who commit petty offenses. It is reported that an effort will be made at the present session of Congress to pass a bill compelling the Pullman Car Com pany to reduce the rate of berths. It Is not likely that the effort will succeed. Congresss is so busy In attending to mat ters that it considers great that it has lit tle time to devote to legislation that is really of great Importance to the people. Thousands of bills are introduced at every session, but only a few hundred are passed. It never fails, however, to get through the required appropriations. For years it neglected to give the country a bankruptcy act, and finally the one it did enact was a wretched botch and bungle. The National Bank law needs several amendments to protect the interests of creditors, but the recommendations of the Comptroller of the Currency, renewed year after year, have received no atten tion. If there were more business and less politics in Congress It would be bet ter for the country. The Post-Office Department is entitled to great credit for Its determined effort to put a stop, as far as possible, to the wholesale abuse of the postal law, in ref- eredee to publications claiming second class rates. The Postmaster General gives a remarkable example of the abuse of the law. He states : There is a single periodical of which copies sent through the mails for the quarter ending March 30, 1901, averaged 223,688 pounds for each issue, or about 112 tons, or nearly eight carloads, reck, ing the weight of a carload of paper at 30,000 pounds. For transporting each issue of that periodical the government actually paid #11,184.40, against which it collected #2,236.88 in postage. It also paid #4,473 for handling, making a direct The many friends of the Hon John T. McDonough, our present Secretary of State, who has so ably filled the above position during the past three years, will learn with great pleasure that he is prom inently named as the candidate on the Republican ticket in 1902 for the Court of Appeals. No better man in the Empire State can be named for the above office than John T. McDonough. He is in every respect a first-class lawyer; Is well educated, and has, through years o f hard study and an extensive practice of law, became abun dantly fitted for the responsible position for which he is so flatteringly spoken of in all sections of the State. Judge Mc Donough is the sout of honor and integ rity, and the large majority received by him when a candidate for the constitu tional convention; also both times In which he ran for Secretary o f State, has demonstrated in no uncertain sound his popularity with the voters. With the names of Odell and McDonnough on the ticket, Chautauqua County will pass the ten thousand majority mark without any trouble .— Chautauqua Farmer. MINNBSETAH LOOK, K. OF P. C.

It was to be expected that the Sampson- Schley controversy would break out in Congress about as soon as it assembled. No surprise has been occasioned, there fore, by the appearance of a resolution introduced in the House by Representa tive Williams, of Mississippi, calling for a court of inquiry Into the matter.— Rochester Democrat . The inquiry was asked for by Admiral Schley because of the serious charges made against him by historian Maclay. It is claimed that before the publication of the charges they were submitted to _____ ____ ___ Admirals Sampson and Crowninshield, net loss to the government on every issue approved of them. As Maclay of #13,421. As compared with this cash chargeQ, among other things, that Ad- gift by the government, the publishers, besides the postage, paid about #4 473 for the white paper, and, as shown by an ex pert reckoning, #127,16 for composition, all these items together amounting to $6,837. There is not a well-informed publisher in the country who would not say that #500 was an extremely liberal al lowance lor all other expenses, making a total cost to the publishers of #7.337, as against a net cost to the government of #13 431, so that the government contrib uted about #6,084 more on every issue to the expense of running that publication than the publishers themselves contrib uted. Perhaps there is some truth in the claim that the government pays too much to railroad companies for transport ing the mails, and that it should first in stitute reform in this respeqt. But how ever this may be, it is certain that the laws are grossly violated in the respect above noted, particularly with reference to “ sample\ copies and supplements which are largely printed and circulated for advertising purposes. Through care less or “ generous” postmasters, unprin cipled publishers, and scheming adver tisers who seek to avoid paying just post age on their advertisements, the govern ment is virtually robbed of millions an nually, and there is danger that if the abuses shall be long continued there will be changes in the law which will deprive even legitimate publicafious of the pos tal benefits they now enjoy. National Irrigation . Chinese Exclusion. We regret that President Roosevelt has deemed it his duty to recommend the re enactment oi the Chinese exclusion law, when it shall expire by limitation in May next. We wish, also, that he had re ferred in pointed terms to certain evils resulting from the pernicious and unlaw ful control of labor organizations—evils which profoundly alarm intelligent, think ing people who fully comprehend what will be their ultimate results if allowed to continue unchecked. But in view of well-known facta the President's attitude in regard to these questions is not surprising. Powerful or ganizations are so active and clamorous in demanding action in their selfish inter- ** an<* *ke great mass of the people are •0 udifferent and cowardly In opposing em, however strongly convinced as to « vtoutlon of law and justice, that it in * tc2uiree more moral courage to eUndfo??jial Political ambition SanJuan h111' But the S?Borediffu and l^en ^ will be ” **?4eUy^d 1 aD<* 8aci*ficlal because President Roosevelt, among other things, recommends, in his message to Congress, that the Federal government shall undertake to establish a great sys tem of reservoirs and canals for the irri gation of arid lands, and that these works shall be paid for from the National Treasury. It is not likely that Congress will make undue haste in taking action on this rec ommendation. It is a new matter and deserves thorough discussion before final action. That eventually the arid lands of the West will be irrigated in the way suggested, there is little doubt. There is a slow but continuous trend toward gov ernmental ipaternalism. Some view the situation with alarm ; others look at it in an entirely different light, and as evi dence that the world is moving onwards and upwards. Every year the appropriation for rivers and harbors increases. A few years ago such appropriations caused more or leas apprehension. Now the people are al most indifferent concerning them, while Congressmen who succeed in getting big “ grabs” become very solid with their constituents, and are hailed as public ben efactors. It is contended by those who favor ir rigation at public expense that as much public good will be derived therefrom as from the improvement of rivers, harbors, streamlets, and frog ponds, which is un doubtedly true. And it follows, of course, that if it be a good thing to thus irrigate It would be equally as good to drain marshes, swamps, etc. And so It goes. It is rumored that the Schley Court of Iuquiry have agreed upon their report,and that Admiral Schley will be censured in regard to some things and exonerated as toothers. But more will be known when the report shall have been made public. A Word on Books. We wish to make It profitable for every one in Yates County to buy books from us. We have put the price of the regular #1 50 copyright novels at #1.15, the cut price which now prevails in Rochester. We are selling all other books propor tionately low. To any who have received cut price catalogues from Rochester, we will duplicate the prices contained there in, on any book which we have or can procure, less the price of postage. So here is a saving to you of over 10 per cent, when you buy of us. We have a large number of sets of books which we are selling at special prices to close out. C ornwell B rothers , miral Schley was a coward and a caitiff, and overwhelming proof to the contrary was adduced before the Court of Inquiry, it is but proper and just that an investi gation should be made as to the alleged responsibility of Admirals Sampson and Crowninshield for such charges, and if the Admirals named are innocent they should be anxious for the investigation. Such a charge against an officer who served his country about forty years with credit, and won one of the greatest naval v.ctor- ies of modern times, is no trifling mat ter. So the people consider it, and It cannot be made to appear otherwise by newspaper scribblers. PICTURE*BOOKS / “ U P - S T A I R S ” D E P A R T M E N T , HQLLOWELL A WISE . D R . E . F .

Butterfield in five weeks’ treatment of P. Maine, a substan tial farmer o f North Wilna, N. Y. Let him tell his own story: My Dear Doctor— When I came to yon five weeks ago I had given up all hope of ever being well. My neighbors had all given me up as even beyond all hope of even relief. Some of them told me to try Dr. Butterfield. I had become very emaciated, was coughing a good deal and severe racking pains in my stomach, a good deal of sickness of stomach, urine scant and high colored, pain in back of head. On examination you did not say you could cure me, but that you could help me. After taking your remedies three weeks there has been a wonderful change; my appetite has become splendid, I sleep like a child, and, strange to say, my own neighbors did not know me. They would not believe such a marvelous change could be wrought in three weeks. I nave been splendid ever since. I have had one pull-back and that was when I ate a chicken pie dinner. Pros pects seem good that I shall obtain both health and strength. Refer anyone to me. Yours truly, P. North Wilna, N. Y., March TAKE NOTICE. Dr. Butterfield has moved froi to Knapp House. His next visltisWednes day, December 18th. Francis A. Palmer, veteran President of the Broedway Savings Institution, ac cording to one closely associated with him in business, has willed the bulk of his fortune to the Starkey Seminary at Eddytown, N. Y ., which he has already liberally endowed. He altered his will, this informant says, last summer, and cut off Mrs. Samuel D. Rockwell, his grand niece, to whom he had intended to leave the greater part of his millions. He then knew, according to his friend, of his grandniece’s second marriage, and told this petson that it was because she had re married and kept it from him that he had disinherited her. Another person who has seen Mr. Pal mer almost daily, said yesterday that al though the aged banker had felt deeply grieved at the conduct of his niece, he had always spoken of her with deep af fection. It was the opinion of this per son that Mr. Palmer might relent, and possibly restore her name to his will. Anyway, said this person, it was unlikely that he would altogether cut off her two boys.— N. V. World. —The M. E. Church will hold au entertainment in K. O. T. M. Hall next week.

Hall’s Catarrh Cure is not a quack medicine. It was pre scribed by one of the best physicians in this country for years, and is a regular prescription.

West Jerusalem. —Simeon Spink is afflicted with a cancer which threatens his life. At last accounts he was in Rochester for treatment, and it reported that the physicians pronounced his case incurable. —Some o f the farmers are wisely providing against probable snow drifts this winter by tak ing down rail fences along the highway. Wire fences are the thing along country roads, and if the roads were well graded up or turnpiked, wide enough for teams to pass, wherever drifts occur, there would seldom be occasion for shoveling. It is advisable to cut down all brush all along the roadsides, leaving only good shade or truit trees, which should be trimmed up from the ground somewhat higher than a man’s head. —A considerable number of people are anx iously waiting lor the ushering in of the pro- proposed new rural delivery raute which is to start from Branchport and proceed westward into Italy, by Italy Hill, and thence over roads in the township o f Italy, where the service is greatly needed and desired; returning from Italy Hilt by what is known as the Champlin road, passing Mariner's Corners, thence eastward to the Stone school house, thence south to Darby’s Corners, and then east to Branchport. This route would serve several hundred people. —Miles A. Davis desires to state that tne His tory o f Jerusalem, which he prepared for publica tion some time ago, was indefinitely postponed as to putting it In type and printing it, because at the time work was contemplated beginning the prices on all grades of printing paper went up from 50 to 75 per centum, and the cost of binding was also materially advanced. These stubborn facts rendered it impossible to issue the work at the nominal price indicated in the can vas for subscriptions, except at a greater loss than he felt justified in sustaining. Those who kindly favored the project with their names have the consolation that they have lost nothing thereby las in no case was a single cent asked or accepted from any one in advance o f the delivery oftbe volume. At some future time, if life and health be spared, it is intended to publish the work, embodying new material, and of necessity the price per volume must be advanced somewhat in ratio to the cost of production. —As the Indian name of the creek that flows through Guyanoga Valley is unknown to any of the oldest inhabitants, or any local historian, suppose it be christened with an appropriate des ignation.

Mr. Hermans is running them through the evapor ator. When the frost is out o f the cabbage he trims them and loads them into cars, and they have a fine appearance. —Mrs. W. S. H. Hermans, of Towanda, was here over Sunday visiting Mr. Hermans, who re mains here attending to the cabbage business.
