OVER EIGHTY THOUSAND
DOLLARS.

The Honorable J. n. Keller voted for
q law that if enforced would take be-
tween eighty and ninety thousand dol
lars out Of the pockets Of those Of the
farmers Of Juniats county whose lands
were not clear Of the Old William Penn
King George land liens. The admins
tratiOn at Harrisburg was surely in
need Of money and they thought they
would skin it out Of the unpatented
land CLAIMS. Claims that in the most
cases were generations old and in
some cases came from beyond the
Revolutionary war ofl776. IfMr. Keller
would vote for such bill in the lower
house Of Legislature what might he not
vote for in the upper house to which he
is now begging the voters to send
him. He missed the opportunity
Of his life when he voted for that iniqul-
tous bill. If he had voted against the
bill he would have been one Of the big
gest statesmen in the Commonwealth.
If farmers Of the little county Of Juni-
alta had to pay under that iniquitous
bill between eighty and ninety thou
sand dollars what would larger and
wealthier counties have to pay? 1t
would have been racy plum for the
State Treasury but wormwoOd and
gall for the men who did not know of
the existence Of such q claim against
their lands. But the mere hint Of
process at collection in some Of the
eastern counties raised the people to al
most a pitch ofviOlence and revolution
The authorities of Harrisburg were
scared and when the next Legislature
was convened it quickly repealed the
bill, but that repeal does not excuse the
men who passed the act. Mr.. Keller
helped to pass the bill. Mr.. Keller did
not help to repeal it. II men attempt
to rob your house or your hen roost and
you scare them away they are none the
less hOuse-breakers and ben roost
thieves. So it is with the members Of
the Legislature who made that law.
They cannot escape from the RESPONSE
bility Of that act. They passed the law
and ran away. 1t was entirely anoth-
er Legislature that came and repealed
the act and saved the land-hOlders.
Now Mr.. Keller's editors are coming
forward and saying, ''great good has
come out Of the act to take between
eighty and ninety thousand dollars out
of the pockets of certain farmers in Jun
iata county, because the next Legisla-
ture repealed the act. There is a say
ing that poor excuse is better than
none, but that excuse is worse than
none. 1t is like telling man whose
house came nearly being robbed; like
telling him after the robbers have been
chased off. "My! my! dear friend,
the Iobbers have done you a great good.
They didn't get in to rob you because
you fought them off and now you'll put
bolts on your doors and they can't get
at you to rob you and send you out in
to the world stripped Of all your years
Of earnings" See how much good the
fellows did You who tried to break into
your house and rob you.

Society Shaken.

Thursday saw Wadsworth shaken
from center to circumference In its
social circles. The allegation and
sworn complaint that a crime-the ma
ture of which we do not care to men
tion because of our youngest readers
had been committed in this usually
peaceful burg, was the cause Of 1t all.
The fair name and fame of lone
widow with two young children and the
domestic happiness of a man and wife
are at stake in the matter as beyond
price.
So broadcast were the numerous ru-
mors of the affair cast that several
hundred citizens held an indignation
meeting in Music Hall to probe for
light. The party charged was brought
first before that bar of public opinion to
answer. He made statement which,
at the least. allayed the excitement
and let the case go on its merits be-
fore the law for investigation.
The defendant was placed under
bonds In the sum Of S25oo for his ap-
pearance for examination; which bond
he Immediately furnished and was re-
leased. He has retained E. R. Dodge
to defend him. The examination will
take place tomorrow behind closed
doors.

When fur hours I useter loiter while /

It's true the sun is shinin an the flowers

But somehow summers nowadays amt
what they useter be.
The birds don't sing so sweetly an the
colors amt SO gay.
An the white clouds amt so fieecy, as they
float far, far away;
An the musics left the tree-tops, where It
sounded soft and slow
We don't have no sech weather as we had

Nor hears a squirrel chatter in his sharp

Nor stop to chase a water snake from

There's nothin' but discomfort in this cruel,
steady glow
We don't have no sech weather as we had

The Cuban school Teachers

There will arrive in Washington tomor-
row upward of 100 Cuban school teachers
representing the new era in the island the
Progressive spirit which seeks to educate
the young to a true conception of oppor-
tunities and duties. One Of the mos;
severe reproaches cast at the Spanish
regime over Cuba was the charge that the
educational processes were Inadequate that
the privilege of education was confined to q
few and that the children of the poor and
ignorant were neglected. and allowed to
grow in mental unenlightenment One of the
first steps taken toward the rescue of Cuba
from Spanish misrule was the Institution
OF liberal free school system. which would
reach TO the roots of society and give op-
portunity to all classes to change their
condition for the better
These young men and women who are
coming TO spend a day and half In Wash
ington are the representatives and the in
sfrumentalities of Cuba's new culture. The
cOnquering American soldiers formed the
advance force. clearing the country of the
militant foe. The teachers are the main
army driving out the less paIpable yet
more deadly foe of ignorance They are
certain to be helped in their work by the
visit TO the capital. They have been alb
sorbing knowledge of the processes OF
American education at Harvard, doubtless
TO the great enrichment of their equipment
for their work. They will here learn the
lesson OF sound government and cleanliness
in municipal administration and see the
tokens of the great republic visibly spread
before them. Actual contact with the
equipment of government Will bring them
nearer TO a conception of the government
itse.f. There is much to learn in Washing
ton. worth long Journeys to secure. Knowl-
edge of what the American republic means
could not possibly be laid with greater
proht before any body Of people than these
hundreds of men and women who have the
making of Cuba ir their charge.
