A Handsome Number.

Next Sundays Pittsburg Post
will be an unusually excellent one
The art supplement consisting of 16
pages has been printed already and
is filled with splendidly executed pic
lures of officers and men of the tenth
Pennsylvania regiment and with
scenes at different places where they
were quartered while en- route and
after their arrival in Manila. This
part alone is worth more than the
whole paper costs. 1t would be we'll
to order copy from Rice now as
the demand will be enormous and it
may be difficult to secure it.

AN INTERESTING LAW CASE.
Chas. A. Weaver and Others VS. j. II.
Eakin and Others, Injunction.

In 1887 A. F. Taught, Of Battelle
district, leased his land To a Mr.. Pow
ers for oil and gas purposes. No dur
alton or time was named or specified;
no time was mentioned in the deed of
lease. The lease was TO be forfeited
unless active operations should be be-
gun within 80 days or upon failure SO
to do, the lessee should pay $500, at
the expiration Of year from the end
OF said 30 days. No work was done.
but the money was paid as per the
agreement the plaintiffs assert. But
before it was so paid Mr.. Taught leas-
ed the land to Mr.. Eakin. The latter
claims that the first lease was invalid
because operations were not common
ced as required or the money paid, as
it should have been, at the close or
the 30 days. The plaintiffs assignees
of Mr.. Powers, insist that the first
lease is valid, but il 1t be not SO that
still they are entitled to their due re-
spectiye shares or interest because
they and Mr.. Eaken were co-partpers;
that he, being tenant In common,
took the second lease in trust for them
as well as for himself These are the
main points made yesterday la the
arguments of George Caldwell and
6. G. Baker Esqrs; OF counsel for
the plaintiffs, and by Col. w. w. Ar
nett plaintiffs chief-counsel on mo-
ton to dissolve the injunction grant
ed sometime ago to plaintiffs to re-
strain defendants from selling the oil
that the wells on the tract are produc-
ing. The matters in controversy will
be finally determined by jury, there
being case at law to settle the ques-
ton. 1t was Col Arnetts' first argu-
ment ia this county. He is certainly
very pleasing speaker. He has long
been one OF the most distinguished
lawyers, both civil and criminal, in
the State. The decision OF this i'm
portant case will be awaited with con-
siderable interest.

dier Lover.
Charleston Gazette.


Daniel Schoolcraft, deserter from
the United States army, was placed
in jail here last night by Constable
Howard Smith. Schoolcraft deserted
several months ago after having en-
listed here and while waiting to leave
for the post to which he had been as
signed.
When the officers came upon School
craft he was sitting under tree by
the roadside counting his sweetheart,
to whom he is engaged to be married.
The girl cried and pleaded to the off,
GERS to release her lover. Schoolcraft
was stolid. He said that if he had
known the officers were after him he
would run. He will be kept in jail
here until instructions are received
from the war department authori-
ties.

but what must be in reality the
meditations of a pessimistic mind.
appeared in the editorial columns
of the Denver Post last evening.
The dark forebodings of the editor
are as follows:
TO student of national econ
omy it must be apparent that there
are breakers ahead When the
panic will reach an acute stage no
one will venture TO predict, while
all feel that it is bound to come.
Millions are finding their struggle
harder as the industrial combines
absorb their means of existence.
The small business man is crushed
to the wall because he has no
means to withstand the pressure
brought to bear upon him by the
trust. He is forced to give up his
business and retire to the ranks of
the wage earners. But these ranks
are over crowded and every new
day sees so many wage earners
thrown on the streets by the com
bines and there is no room left for
him there.
What is he going to do to sup
port himself and his family; seek
work in n factory But the trust
has closed that factory and laid off
many workmen as superhuous.
Seek work with n former compel
itor? But that one is in no better
shape now than himself, and will
shortly be forced to close his bust
ness too, as the trust has crowded
him to the wall. SO where is he
going to find new basis and q
fresh foothold? That is the ques.
tion thousands are asking them
selves today and without finding
any satisfactory answer"

with the unemployment of the

ices have been satisfactory. The
present superintendent, both as a
school man and public spirited

SPIRIT OF AMERICA.

1t is reported from Hawaii that
since annexation to the United
States large number of planta-
tions have made an increased de-
mand for labor. Contracts for
deepening the entrance of Homo
lulu harbor have been made. in
volving an expenditure of S3O0,0O0.
This will give more employment
to those who care to work, says the
Chicago Intcr-Ocean.
The Hawaiian reorganization
bill was not passed by the senate.
but the fact that the islands are
under United States government
has in itself given great impetus
to business. Had the senate taken
proper action the promise would
have been better still There are
some conflicts between the Hawa-
iian constitution and the constitu-
tion of the United States, but these
have been adjusted on the general
theory that where there is differ
ence the national constitution must
prevail.
Under the annexation act the
administration of affairs is to be
conducted under the Hawaiian
constitution bv the same oticials
as were in office at the time of
annexation. Under the new order
of things President Dole is the
chief executive officer of Hawaii
his cabinet and all local officers
having taken the oath of allegiance
to the United States. This state
of affairs must continue until con-
gress acts on the bill to admit Ha-
waii as territory of the United
States.
The uncertainty is not MS to. the
fact of United States authority or
as to the principle of local govern
ment, but as to the minor points
III local or territorial administra.
ton The United States govern
ment is proceeding TO look after
the interests of Hawaii, to push
forward public improvements, to
direct all matters relating TO for
eign affairs Just as if the islands
were officially recognized as the
territory of Hawaii. The same
policy is to be pursued on the is
land of Guam, where coaling
station will be established and
American authority recognized,
and in the Philippines as soon as
the islands are brought under the
direct administration of American
officers.
improvements have already been
inaugurated at Manila and in sew
eral other harbors of Luzon. Ad-
miral Dewey will do such work as
will make them safe for his vessels.
General Otis will look after the
roads to the interior, as General
Brooke is looking after the roads
in Cuba. and General Henry after
those in Porto Rico. American
control will be everywhere a syo-
nym for improvement in conditions.
for good order, and increase in
. business.
