POLICE COURT.

Ihe Westmoreland Social Club Case Dis
posed of.
In dice court yesterday morning
Thos- Brennan, proprietor of the West
moreIand Social Club. WAS up on the
charge OF selling liquor without q
license 1t divers times. The charge of
giving away or selling liquor ON elecs
ton dag was also preferred. The law
specifies thai anyone violating this Sec
ton shall BIO fined not more than 81, 900
nor Imprisoned moro than twelve
months.
The following witnesses were sum-
moned by the Commonwealth: A.

N. Dawson. Bert Woodbridge, E. Don
nelly, Anderson, Falls. Scott and Shea.
The boys oeemed to know but little
about the affair. They had nearly ell
gotten beer there on various occasions,
but were mem bers the club. Some of
them could not tell how long they had
neen members, or exactly how they had
loineo' or how much money they had
paid. One man did not not know the,
name OF the club. Some of them saw
she money changing going on, but could
nos remem Der who II was who paid 1t in
or exactly what 1t wss paid for. In fact
IL seemed to bystander that he had

Judge Williams, concluded that tina

oarroom, which WAS running In open d a.

tne proprietor $50 for the State snd IS
for the city. He was also fined s ., for
giving away or selling liquor on g. cotton

penalty, is considered very small Ana.

HOW ENGLAND UpHoLDs GOLD.

BY the Peel act OF 1914 the price OF
gold is fixed by English law. This act,
passed July 10, 1874, compels the Bank
Of England to pay e3 IT'S and Cd for
every ounce Of standard gold presented
at It's counter, and is what keeps the
price of gold staple all over the world
at Sls.92, less carriage and insurance.
This completely upsess the staple argu-
ment Of the Depews, the Eckelses, the
Cornwalls and others that mediums of
exchange are regulated in price en-.

FALLING prices and swelling taxes
make discouraging combination for the
to.ler. Consider, for example. the wheat
crop and the costs of the Federal Gov.
eminent. as illustrating the paying
power OF the people and the demand
for payment.
1880, U. $. wheat crop sold for Si74, 201, $50
Costs OF the Government 257, 10000
In 1880, therefore, the American
wheat crop would have paid the ex-
penaes OF the Government almost twice
over.
1899, Y. s. wheat crop go d for 1912 49l, T07
Costs OF Goycrnment... 1855 464,6S9

Peanut State SIN anshiD

The measure of the mental caliber and
moral stature of the garden seeds states
men in congress was correctly defined in
the amendment to the agricultural appro-
priation bill offered by Representative
Cousins of Iowa in the house Tuesday.
His proposition was to reduce Secretary
mum "until he expended the appropriation
in the current law" according to the ideas
of the peanut politicians who comprise the
garden seeds statesmen.
This was plain attempt to coerce the
secretary into the perversion of his office
to base purposes. For years certain class
of senators and representatives in congress
have been using a gratuitous supply of
garden seeds as capital i'll vote-broker-
age business which was as detrimental to
political morals as it was destructive of
business methods. The secretary of agri-
culture, after carefully investigating the
abuse, with the consent of the last con-
gress, abolished the system The peanut
politicians are determined to have it re-
stored.
AS these garden seed statesmen are gov
erned in their public and private actions
entirely by pecuniary considerations, they
naturally thought this attack OH his salary
would prove effective in driving Secretary
Morton into acqniescence in their plans.
The chances are that it would have had the
contrary elect, and it is to be regretted,
therefore, that broad. minded Speaker Reed
administered just rebuke by ruling the
amendment out of order. 1t would have
been worth something to the country to
have obtained a list of the peanut po!iti-
clans in the house and if Mr.. Cousins
amendment had gone to vote the record
would have been made.-Kansas City Star.

PRESIDENTIAL NOMINATIONS
The president today sent the following
nominations to the senate: Consuls-

Grenoble. France; James H. Mulligan,

George j. ROskruge, surveyor.general OF
Arizona.
Mr.. Mulligan has been United States
consul-generaI at Apia. Samoa, for the
past eighteen months. The new post is
one of great importance at present and
promises to be even more so in the imme-
date future owing to the development of
the South African gold fields and
the consequent great increase of
population in the Transvaal and neigh
boring states. AS Cape Town is a British
colony, our representation there is neces-
sarily limited to a consular office, but in
this case he will occupy position cores
bonding in a measure to that of Consul.
General Williams at Havana, and will
actually exercise diplomatic powers in
emergencies.

THE WHITNEY MOVEMENT

In the search for presidential timber
measured by the standard of merit, the
Democrats might 60 farther and fare
worse than by taking William G. Whitney.
But unhapply the standard of merit and
that of availability do not always run in
parallel lines, and it may be doubted if Mr..
Whitney would prove as strong candi-
date as he would unquestionably be a de-
serving one. He is admirably equipped in
ability, character and experience to adorn
the Office, but unfortunately for him. and
may be for the country, his business asso-
Citations have been such as to initiate
against his political promotion, and no
man understands that fact better than MIR.
Whitney himself.
Mr.. Whitney is indebted for most of his
wealth to his connection with the Standard
Oil company. There are plenty of inteil-
gent men who believe and frankly declare
that the Standard Oil company has been
benefactor to the people of this country,
and they point to the marvellous deveiop-
ment of that industry and the wonderful
decrease in the price of oil to support their
theory. But that is not the common un-
derstanding of the subject. To the aver
age mind the Standard Oil company is an
octopus with poisoned tentacles reaching
in all directions and spreading desolation
and distress wherever they touch. No man
connected with that enterprise would be
an available candidate before the people,
however conspicuous his fitness for the Of
flee in other respects.
In view of these facts 1t would seem that
the projectors and promoters of the Whit
ney presidential boom, which is now in
active motion in the south. are wasting
their energies. But whatever his business
relations have been, Mr. Whitney has al
Ways been inst in his deal with the

Snme Awful Shooting

WAsHINGToN, Feb 26.-Surprising re-

experiments, our navy, which already pos.

What was done yesterday at the proving
grounds was to fire a caststeel shell
of six-inch caliber entirely through a
seven inch Harveyized nickel steel plate
through the heavy oak backing and twelve
feet into the clay bank behind. This per.
formance has never been equaled by any
projectile of like calber in the world. The

can be made for much less than the ex.

LATIN REVOLUTION
The Nicaragua Disturbance Promises to Spread
Abroad

New YORK, Feb. 27.-A special to the
World from Managua. Nicaragua, says:
There are signs that the revolution in
Northern Nicaragua may spread all over
Central America. 1t has a distinctly re-
ligious cast, and the Leonites can count on
aid not only in this republic but in the four
other republics as we'll.
The revolutionists fear the growing popu-
larity of the United States in Latin Amer
lea. and also fear American control of the
canal. The growth of American ideas here
is regarded as tending to extend liberal
ism, which the clergy desires to stamp out.
Guatemala is ripe for revolution, owing
to the deep-seated dissatisfaction of the
intel ligent portion of the people with the
military rule of Barrios, whose humble
extraction and record for cruelty have
turned the upper classes against him.
President Gutierrez, in Salvador, has
Just reorganized the military departments
