PrFTsBURG's HOUSE CLEANING.

Pittsburg is having a house cleaning
as sensational as that Of San Francisco,
with the elements of disgust, tragedy and
comedy well mixed in it. Owing to the
recent consultations Pittsburg has been
governed by a quite unwieldy body of
152 Select and Common Councilmen.
The coarseness and the generality of
the. corruption was such as to arouse
public opinion, and a Voters League
was formed. which has brought about
the present cataclysm of publication.
1t appears that the reign of corruption
was started by certain banks bribing
the CoGncil to select them as deposi-
tories of the city money. Their schemes
succeeded until business men discovered
that it was impossible for them to get
even the most necessary and important
enterprises thru without paying heavy
toll to the members of the City Coun-
Gil The Voters League precipitated
matters by employing a secret service
man to bribe a Councilman for ficti-
tious wood-paving scheme. This caught
councilman John Klein, who had been
the distributor of the bribe fund by
which the political bosses and business
men controlled the action of the Coun-
Gil He was convicted of bribery and
sent to the penitentiary. and he called
lupon his accomplices to pay his FAM
ly $50 a month to support it while he
was in prison. He felt that he had a
right to do this, as when Councilman
William Martin had been sent TO prison
Klein collected $4,000 for Martin and
the support of his family, in order to
enable him to keep a stiff upper lip.
After Klein's accomplces refused to
make up the modest sum asked for. he
was enraged, and made a confession
which threw the whole gang into dire
confusion. He had been in the habit
of paying his bribes by registered let
ters and preserving the receipts signed
by his beneficiaries. He also kept a
book in which he entered the pay
mcnts. These documents have been
turned over to the public prosecutor.
, Following the thunderclap of Klein's
confession the District Attorney an
nounced that he would give an i'm
munity bath for a limited time for
those who would make a confession
and nearly 40 badly-scared Aldermen
. and Councilmen FASTENED to take ad
vantage of the offer. In spite. of the
. startling character of the revelations
Pittsburg is to be congratulated upor
the affair. since it is a thunder storm
that will purify the air and rebound in
lasting benefit to the city. Honest mer
will be hereafter elected to the Council
and they will be exceedingly careful
that no taint of graft shall be on their
dockets.

Did Lincoln Visit Manassas?

Editor National Tribune: 1 can find
no history or life of Lincoln which
mentions his visiting Manassas but
left in charge of the Weir mansion,
commonly known among soldiers as
the Brick House," on the Centerville
road, that she served dinner to the
President and some army officers dur
ing the Spring of 1862 She told me
about 80 years ago that Lincoln shook
hands with her and said. Il have come
out here. Auntie. to see what there was
in Manassas that kept back my soldiers
so long" a phrase certainly not unlike
Lincoln and in line with his line of
thought about that time, as indicated
in history.
I recently had a conversation with
Jackson, the well-known doorkeeper at
the office of the Commissioner of PEN
sionS. He was servant to Gen. McDow-
ell, and says that on the return of Nc
Dowell from Front Royal they en-
camped near Manassas for a short time
During that time Lincoln and Chase
came to McDowelPs headquarters.
Jackson saw Lincoln on horseback re-
viewing the troops. There must be vet
Grams who served under Mcdowell at
the time that recall the circumstance.

SURPRISING THE BLACK HAND.

The greatest victory for years for
good Government and that peace and
security which should reign under our
Flag has been gained in what amounts
to the virtual suppression of the dread
ed Black Hand. The Black Hand at
tanned its formidable proportions in
Italy under the miserable rule Of the
Bourbons and the corruption and mis-
government of the whole country. 1t
was only another form of the brigan-
dage which cursed Italy for centuries.
The leaders and members of the gang
could not be reached and punished for
the sufficient reason that every man
of influence was more or less impli
Gated in it. Some men as high as Min
isters of State and members of Par
Lament were active members of the
Malta, the other name of the organi
ZatiOn, and even the police and officers
of justice were too generally compli-
Gated with it. 1t was imported to this
country along with the other Italian
immigration, and SO far has preyed
mostly upon Italians who have come to
this country and prospered as fruit
merchants, bankers. etc. These were
blackmailed terrifically and il they did
not pay the blackmail were murdered,
with all those having knowledge of the
crime being intimidated by a threat of
murder if they told what they knew.
The members of the organization did
not confine themselves. however. to
Matchmaking and murder, but became
extensive counterfeiters. and this con-
tributed much to their downfall. A
New Orleans a number of years ago
| where a mob. disgusted at the ina
bility to bring the murderers and black
mailers to justice, attacked the prison
in which they had been confined and
| hanged quite number. which subse-
quently brought us into diplomatic
tangIes with Italy. The society gained
great strength in Ohio. where it defied
the laws. and for awhile murdered and
robbed with impunity. but at last the
| ringleaders were secured, with sufficient
evidence to convict them. and some ID
went to the penitentiary for long
terms This is supposed to be the end
of the iniquitous gang in Ohio. as the
instant 1t is seen that the laws can
and will be enforced the victims will
appeal to the courts and the police will
give proper security. The last and Sc
verest blow has been dealt by the
Treasury Department on the charge OF
counterfeiting in New York. The leader
was Gioseppi Morrello. who was a ter
ror to his countrymen, and whenever
he appeared in public with a red BAN
dana about his head there was O panic
because it was a proclamation that he
had issued an edict of death to some OF
his countrymen. 1t is believed that he
was the director of the murder of Lieut.
Petrosino, the New York detective who
was assassinated in Italy, whittier III
had gone to gain information to the
records of number of men in thi.
country. The Secret Service men of tn,

A FINE MONUMENT
To BE Dedicated to the Soldiers of vigo
County. Ind.

Editor National Tribune: The 3fst
Annual Encampment, Department OF
Indiana. c. A. r.. will hold its meeting
in Terre Haute May %, 26 and q next.
at which time and place the veterans
OF Vigo County and business men OF the
city will vie with each other to make
the occasion memorable one, espe-
cially to the younger generation. The
Monumental Association of NigO Coun-
ty, Ind, organized more than so years
ago for the purpose of erecting a suit
able memorial to our dead. as well as
the living volunteers v..O went out from
Vigo County from '6I to '65, secured
about one year ago an appropriation of
$4,000 from the County. which. with
what they had in hand, they have
erected a beautiful monument of Barre
granite. the shaft being SO feet. with an
heroic bronze (statue) figure of a color
bearer standing 10 feet on top. while
the four arms Of the service are appro-
priately represented by bronze figures
on short pedcstals at each of the four
corners, the total cost being approXi-
mately $4,000. and is the finest erected
by any County in the State so far. As
we had planned to dedicate it this
Spring, we sought and secured the
meeting of the Encampment. We have
also the assurance of the, presence of
the National Commander for at least
one day, who will take part with our
local and Department officials in the
dedication exercises. Preparations are
going forward thru committees of citi-
Zens and members of the two Posts in
the city to entertain all who attend and
to solicit the attendance of all who can
make 1t convenient to be here. The
citizens have become enthusiastic in the
matter of showing to the outside pub
lie that they did not exhaust their pa
triotic efforts in the erection of fine
monument, but expect to have a city
beautiful in the display of Old Glory
and bunting. electric lights and all the
embellishments that go toward display
of sentiment. They have also arranged
for the erection of a fort on the river
bank and a sham battle, in which the
navy and land forces will participate in
an effort to capture the fort. Various
other entertainments will be provided.
and while the largest crowd of visitors
that has ever been in the city at any
one time is expected, ample provisions
will be made to accommodate them ALL
and open hands and a welcome is ex-
| tended to comrades and the public. Our
city has prospered remarkably in the
| last decade, and we are proud of our
success as builders, and feel equally
capable as entertainers. So we say to
all: Come and be with us during the
. fourth week in May, 1910.-Oscar Ran
