Democrats allege. the sum Of $1,000
per year.
The fault does not lie with Messrs
Maxwell and Jones, but is to be
charged up to the extravaganza and
mismanagement OF County affairs un-
der and by virtue Of Democratic rule.
The present Republican board under
and by virtue Of the increased levy,
which became necessary on account
of the large Indebtedness contracted
and incurred by the Democratic ad.
ministration, has collected from the
people of this county in the neighbor-
hood OF seven thousand dollars per
annum more than the previous board.
Out OF their total levy they have
paid the running expenses Of the
county and have paid an average Of
ten thousand dollars per annum upon
the outstanding Indebtedness to-
gether with 100000 per annum in
terest which had accrued upon said
Indebtedness, making eleven thousand
dollars per annum which they have
paid on account of said outstanding
indebtedness
The above figures show that they
have not only paid the seven thous-
and dollars. but in addition to that
have saved out Of the ordinary runn-
ing expenses Of the county, the sum
Of four thousand dollars per annum.

JURIST ANSWERS
THE PRESIDENT
POINTED CRITICISM OF STATE
MENTs IN ROOsEVELTs RECENT
MESSAGE.

NEW YORK. December 12.-Indirect,
but pointed criticism of Roosevelts at
titudc toward the judiciary was made
by Chief Justice Mitchell of Pennsyl
vania in an address tonight at the
banquet of the Pennsylvania Society of
New York. The Chief Justice did not
mention the executive by name, but
left no doubt through his quotations
and his illusions to various matters of
public knowledge as to the object of
his criticism. The courts, the bar and
the laws of States and Nation were dis
cussed from various viewpoints by the
speakers, who, besides Justice Nit
chell were Attorney General Bonaparte
James NJ. Beck and Hampton L. Car
son.
Chief Justice MitCnel expressed re-
greet that an effort was making to
weaken the lines of distinction so ad-
mirably defined in the Federal Constl-
tuition. For the cure of evils tempo
rarily prominent it is impatiently ad-
vocated that the combined powers of
the government be centralized in the
! executive" he said. The only safety
for all is obedience to law, as it is
written not to strained and distort-
ed construction to make it mean what
it does not and never was intended to
mean, but honestly and fearlessly to
carry out the real meaning of its
makers.
He then quotes from the Presidents
recent message and says:
THE very phrases so prominently
put forward of Judges who have lag
ged behind the times and Judges who
hold philosophy betray not only ignor-
ance, but a deplorahle incapacity to
comprehend the fundamentals of the
American government. If the law as
, declared by the constitutional tri-
bunal is not what the people want it
| to be, then let it be changed but let ii
never be lost sight of that the author
ity to change it is legislative, not jul
dicial, still less executive"

sinking ship to lend his hand at
closing the air port. The diving pump
was tended by Witherspoon and one
of the company, whose name at this
time | do not remember. For devotion
to their work and for courage l know
nothing better than these actions.
Again word was brought to me that
not only were the air compressors
stopped, but that water through the
air port had gone into the fireroom,
extinguishing the fires under our
boiler, and hence all pumps were
stopped"
The ship later sunk. She now rests
upright in forty-five feet of water.

nest determination, and the situation
must improve. He has great power,
and if he wants more let him ask for
it, Lord Morley is not the man to
refuse; he, at any rate, knows the
truth; yet how can he give what Lord
Mimic does not ask?
There is still time to avoid catastro-
phe. If certain classes in India have
been affected by treasoS, the mass of
the millions are practically untouched
and may yet be saved.
The people of India have forgotten
our strength. Lord Kitchener's new
concentration of troops has withdrawn
the soldier from the eye of the native.
In Lord Roberts time both British and
native troops marched through the
country when changing stations 1t is
twenty-five years since a British regi-
ment marched and fifteen years since a
native regiment was seen marching
through Bengal. This may seem a sim
pie eXpedient; yet it would serve as a
reminder that we have not-as many
natives believe-abandoned India to the
treason monger.

A GREAT REVOLT

Critical Condition in the Province
Blamed to British
Neglect.
EUROPEANS ARE UNPROTECTED
The People of India Have Been Per-
mitted to Forget British
Strength.
ARE UNPROTECTED

CALCUTTA, December 12.-The
council today adopted summary jus
tice bill" which will materially
strengthen the hands of the govern
ment in its fight against the anarchy
and sedition so rampant now in In
dia. Under it criminals may be
brought to speedy trial and drastic
means are provided for dealing with
societies dangerous to the public
peace.
LONDON, December 12.-An Anglo
Indian of long experience writes: THE
gravity of the situation in India is
not realized in Great Britain. The
truth is that every European in In
dia feels that he is living on the edge
of volcano that may at any moment
become active. We have had warn
ing enough in all conscience. When
civilians go armed in India and Euro
pean women are not safe without an
escort, we hardly need to be told
that race hatred has reached the high
water mark of danger.
There are, of course, people who,
having eyes, cannot see-like the Gov
ernor of a province, whose letters to
his friends announcing improved re-
| lations, were read in this country
simultaneously with the cabled ac-

own life.
But the average official is not blind
to the signs of the times. An official
of great experience, whose name
could l give it-would be accepted
unhesitatingly as a guarantee of cour-
age and calm discretion amounting al
most to indifference, is about to re-
turn to his post in a native State far to
the north.
Some years ago the guard of Indian
soldiers was withdrawn at the sug-
| gestion off the military authorities,
! though it was agreed that it should
be replaced when needed. In the opin-
ion of this officer the time has come
yet his request has been refused. Six
thousand Europeans, scattered over q
wide province, are thus left without
protection save by soldiers of the ma
tive State, who, in the event of trou-
BILE, could not be expected to take the
part of the Europeans.
CaTelessness has deprived us of the
usual weapon of defense. We put in
formers side by side with their vic.
tins, and were astonished when the
informers were SHOT. Money would
once buy an informer, but he now
realizes that the price of his informa'
ton is death.
1t is time the Viceroy bestirred him
self. He and he alone sets the tone o
the civilian in India. Let him give
proof of a clear perception and of ear

HEROIC FIGHT To
SAVE THE YANKEE
The Chief. Engineer and Brave Diver
Risked Life in Sinking
Cruiser.
THE STORY TOLD IN A REPORT
Daring Officer Has Narrow
Escape as The Vessel
Disappears.

WASHINGTON, December IL. -
Warm praise for heroic work on the
part of Engineer Witherspoon and a
French-C Canadian diver named Micnot
aboard the cruiser Yankee while an eff
fort was being made to tow the yes
sci to New Bedford, after she had
been cleared of Spindle rock, is given
in a report to the Navy Department
by Captain Charles c. Marsh of the
vessel.
Captain Marsh, after reciting that
the air port was found open, says:
Some time in the early morning, per-
haps 1 a. M, word came up that the
air compressors had stopped. Also the
news came of the open air port. The
latter information was given to the
engineer. He went below and then
sent for a diver. The behavior of
these two men cannot go by unnoticed,
The open air port was in the state
room on the berth deck, starboard side,
next to the air compressors.
"Witherspoon went into this state
room and shut the door. He then
| tried to close the air port, got one
dog partly in place, and then hung up
his lantern, so as to use both hands.
The light was blown out, and he was
| left in total darkness. The pressure
against the port was too great for
him and he found himself in water
up to his neck in this closed room.
Fortunately the pressure eventually
carried away the door, and he was
thrown out on the berth deck.
In the meantime French Canadian
diver named Micnot put on his diving
suit and, in darkness, went down into

And the Actual supply is lneShaust.

Show Their Interest In Wei
fare Of the City.

Tho Ardmorc.tc man in his rounds
this afternoon ran upon \. G.. Reich
old,ii,r OF the Arlmuge Heat q Light
company Mr. Rc.clcldcifcr while in
the employ OF the natural gas com.
uauy is not dcyotiug all his tmo to
the interests OF the company. but in
him the Ardmorc people have also a
sauuch business friend. lie said his
company did not propose TO raise tho
price of gas during the summer as had
been heretofore advertised. but that
the rate would remain at 3Oc during
the entire year OF 1905. by the sum
mor rate being made the same as the
winter rate the people will have an
opportunity TO save part OF the price
they pay for the piping OF their
houses. lie went on further to say
that the people should take advantage
of the oyremc.y low rricos that are
being made ow by thA gas filters.
The WorA IT, beng done Ilitiically at
cost Va "f,'It Is beng mao to hold
the gas filters here until September,
when everybody will want their gas
fitting done to be ready for the win
ter.
Especially is gas desirable for the
summer months. 1t does not heat tho
house. it lightcns the work, the house
keeper has nothing to worry her and
there are many other reasons why gas
is preferable to any other fuel in the
heated season. Everybody will burn
gas in Ardmore next winter than can
get it plpcd into their homes and Mr..
Reicheldeifer said his only regret is
that he cannot place it in every home
[ in Ardmore.
| In speaking of the supply of the
natural gas ho said the people have
nothing 10 fear on this line. The gas
wells that have ALREADY been brought
in will produce enough gas in one day
to supply this town with every cubic
foot it can use for a period of three
! years This statement IS rather
strong but Mr.. Reicheldelfer can pro-
ducc you the figures in a moment that
will convince you he is right The
supply here is beyond any question,
the pant here is the bes. IBIS com.
pany has and 1t owns dozens OF other
plants. Ardmore has every reason in
the world TO be proud Of its supply OF
natural gas, OF the well equipped
plant the company has put in, and
not least of all, 1t has reasons TO be
proud of the interest taken in the gen
era. welfare OF the town by the loca
manager, Mr.. A. c. Reicheldeifer.
