This country has no intention of go

Whex war is made on women, chil

Ki.kvex out of thirteen Republican
county conventions in Ohio have en

the things he sees in England are
enough to make any American dog
mad. We might propose a compro

After July 4 the convicts with a

will have lienefW-ial resulu. When I
made the annonncmeut to the men of
the proposed chaugethey seemed high
ly delighted w ith the prospect Since
that time I have observed a differ r.c
in the demeanor of the prisoners, and
the class of offences has been of a more
trivial character. The stripe is older
than the penitentiary in this country.

all men sent to prison, especially by
men who Miii possess hope aud am
bition to be something better than convicts."
Keliei of AnU-BeTolntionary Day.
From the Johnstown Tribune.
There was plowed up the other day on
the farm about three miles east of Sloyes
tow n, Somerset county, formerly owned
by the late Jesse Sli. k, fittbcr of V. A.
i Slii-k, of the Seventh Ward, this city.
now in possesion of Daniel Berkebile, a
relic of ante-llevolutionary tiuien one of
a large number tUat are known to have
been found in the nine place since
the land first came into possession of the
6cnior Mr. Slick, mentioned above,
which was in the year lfB The relic in
question is a piece of iron aliuut fur
inches square, one-fiHirlh of an inch
thi k, and slightly curved. In the dis
tant past it constituted a setlion of a
"skein," or covering for the wooden axle
of an old-time wairon. The decree of
j curvature of the piece of iron would indi
cate that the axle was a massive a flair, as
seems from the testimony of the elder
Mr. Sli-k to have been the case, he hav
ing in his early days on the land in ques
tion unearthed some that were eighteen
inches in diameter.
Th'o relics are found on the Rile of what
was unown as 'Forles' Fort," and hun
dreds of them have len dug out and car
ried a j. One, w bii-h is in the posssesinn
of Mr. W. A. Slick, is a hammer, of the
kind u soil by blacksmiths for shoeing
horses, whicli, when plowed up some
forty years ago, had attached to it a long
iron handle. I kith, though thickly cov
ered with rust, were very good examples
of the ironworker's art.
The spot upon which these articles
were found is one of historic interest,
and a complete account of the scenes
transacted there and the people who vis
ited it would make profitable and enter
taining reading. But nothing full and
accurate seems to have been preserved in
printed or written form, aud the local
traditions have faded away as genera
tions succeeded each other. A few facts
have been preserved here and there,
however, and from them it would seeui
that the name of "Forles Fort"' for the
fortification that once existed there was
not rvt-cived from the builder, but must
have I xx-n applied on account of a visit
by general Forles made subsequently.
The first the northern part of what is
now Somerset county is known to have
been penetrated to Sloyestown was in
1T5S, when Colonel Bouquet aud several
companies of men visited the region,
"They," we read, "constructed a fort at
Stony Creek, where Stoyestown now is
Late in th-tolier (ieucral Forlics, w ith an
army of six thousand men, marchod over
the road. Wa-hiugton also held an im
portant position in this expedition."
From the time this fort was built up to
the Revolution and afterward it seems to
have been garrisoned by a force of men,
large or small, as circumstances dictated.
Iu lTtit, during the memorable invasion
i y Pontiac, the whole garrison here was
culled iu to strengthen that at Bedford,
as was also that on the Juniata. Bed
ford 1". ft, or Kaystown, wa-i not taken
by tho Indians at the time, as many
other Ki'.irlish liirls were, probably lie
cause of its bring too well protected, but
eighteen persons who were caught away
from the settlement were killed and
sodped. The jiost at what is now Stoves
town must have been in those days gen
erally known as Stony Creek, as under
that name it is referred to frequently in
the early history of operations at Fort
Pitt, and it is mentioned as such in the
journal of Washington.
The road opened by Colonel Bouquet
at the time the Stony Creek fort was
built continued for years to 1 the only
means of communication Iietween Phila
delphia and Pittsburg.
Stoyestown itself, as a town, was not
founded uutil after the Revolutionary
War, and Mr. Stoy, from whom it took
its name, was a soldier in that coutlict.
It was incorporated in 1M9 as a borough,
and by ls40 had a population of 157. In
the early part of the present century Mr.
Stoy used to point out to visitors the
ruins of a log house built for a dwelling
and used by the people who constructed
the fort at the time of Colonel Bouquet's
expedition in I'uS.

Aa Oleo Sensation.
IlARitisRi-R.i, May 21. A Pi;tsbnrg
oleo dealer, F. C. Reed, was one of the
later and most important witnesses sub
po iiactl to testify In-fore the legislative
investigating committee as to what be
knew about Chairman llosack's charges
against Special Agent Moore, He was
in Harristuirg all day yesterday, but up
to midnight the committee was unable
t- get hold of him. If he absents himself
from to-day's sessiou of the committee
Mr. ilr.sack wid lake steps to bring him
before the bar of the house for contempt.
Reed was sulMenaed by City iMei-tive
Windsor, who returned the summons
showing that it had leen served on "F.
C. Reed, alias F. Clark, at fje Bolton
house, room 2."
The committee met in the afternoon at
1 o'clock, but Reed did not show up and
a re-ess was taken uutil 8 last evening.
Sergeant at-Arms Wyatt was directed to
take charge of Reed and produce him at
the evening sesaiou. The committee met
but Wyatt aud his charge did not appear.
After wailing until a re-'csi was
taken nnlil midnight. Meanwhile Chair
man Ilosack ami Wyatt went in teun-h of
the witness.
Isaac II. Prosser atid.II. A. (Juentncr,
former employes o' Reed, were heard by
the com in ittee while Wyatt was search
ing for the Pitlsburger. Prosser testified
that Reed asked hiiu not to appear and
that he bail ofte n seen Moore in Reed's
store.
(iuctstiier said he kept Reed's !ooks for
two year--, and spoke of a "special ex
pens'? account-" Me testified th.tl Reed
told ! i in he had pai l Moore ?1.VI. R.sed
also told witness that he had given Mooro
a gun. lie was invited to retire when
Moore went into the private olliee.
;uentner sworethat Reed hail told him
he was going to get "close" to Moore,
and later said that he hail "got there,"
Reed told Guentner that the ft 50 was paid
Moore to keep the market open.
Guentner told of a hole in the wall that
separated the stock room from the office,
and that he was told by Reed that the
opening was there so that a man could
see Moore being paid money. Reed ex
plained to witness that he had a spy at
the hole so that he would have a liold on
Moore if the agent did not do what he
wanted him to do.
When the committee convened at 12
o'clock Wyatt appeared and said Reed
had disappeared from his hotel and he
could not find him. It was uecided to
bring him In-fore the liar of the house
for contempt if he docs not appear iu the
meantime.

The Morgan Beiolution Adopted by toe
Senate.
W.VHISOTOX, May 21. The long de
bate on the joint resolution "reoognmng
the existence ofa state war in Cu'o and
declaring that strict neutrality shall be
maintained by the United States passed
the Senate by the decisive vote of 41 to
H yesterday. The announcement of the
vote was received with applause. The
resolution reads as follows:
"Resolved, That a condition of public
war exists between the Government of
Spain and the government proclaimed
and for some time maintained by force
of arms by the people of Cuba, aud that
tho United States of America shall main
tain a strict neutrality between the con
tending parties, according to each all the
rights of belige rents in the porta aud
territory of the United States."
Prior to the final vote the motion of
Senator Hale to refer the leslution to
the committee on foreign relalious was
tabled yeas, 34; nays, 19. Mr. Fair
lianks proposed a substitute providing
that the President extend the good offices
or the United Suites to Spain toward se
curing an end to the conflict and ultimate
iudepemh. ce of the island. This was
tabled yeas, 3.5; nays, IX Then follow
ed the adoption of the original resolution.
Speeches were made on the resolution
by Messrs. Thurston, El kins. White,
Fairbanks, Hale, Spooner aud Gormau.
Mr. Thurston demanded immediate ac
tion on the resolution. He had full con
fidence iu the President, he said, but in
this crisis Congress as well as the Presi
dent, had responsibility. He declared
that the United States should send her
strongest battleship to Cuba and station
her in the harbor of Havana, where her
frowning guns might awe the spirit of
tyranuy aud revive hope iu those strug
gling to be free. Mr. Thurston read the
interview of former Premier Sagas la, ami
declared that this was a complete admis
siou of all that had been asserted of the
impotency of the Spanish cause in Cuba.
"Pea iu Culm!" exclaimed the Senator.
"If there is peace in Cula it is the peace
of :evaslaliug fields. Peace in Cuba! If
there is peace in Cuba it is the peace of
desolated homes. Peace in Cuba! If
there is peace in Cuba it is the peace of
wronged women and starving children
and the paeans of this eace are sung by
I he uncoflined dead. If peace ever comes
to Cuba it will come under the Cuban
flag, w hen that last remnant of despotic
authority is turned back to foreign
shores."
Messrs. Klkins aud Wbito urgod a cou
ervative course and au inquiry by i
committee. Then came the first vote
that on the Hale motion to refer. It was
a lest of strength, aud the defeat of the
motion by a vote of 34 to 19 assured the
passage of the resolution. Mr. Fairbanks
tried to stem the tide by otfe.-ing a com
promise proposition some what on the
lines of the Culau plank adopted at St.
Louis, but it met the same fate as the
Hale motion. Then Mr. Hale came for
ward for a final protest. He declared
that the elements opposed to tho admin
istratiou Democrats and Populists had
furnished the bulk of the vote in favor
of the resolution, and that the foreigu
policy of the administration was thus
to be dictated by its opponents. He ex
pressed the fear also that the resolution
would lead to war with Spain. Mr.
Spooner added his protest against tying
the bauds of the administration. Mr.
Gorman closed the debate, resenting tho
suggestion that party lines were drawn
ou the resolution, and asserting that the
administration should have dispatched
war vessel to Cuba, to protect our offi
cials on the island.
The final vote then was taken and the
result brought cheers from the galleries.

Gov. Hastings hs vetoed the House
bill "to enlarge the competency of the
wife to testify against her husband" on
the ground, among other reasons, that it
permits the defendant, who may have
destroyed the happiness of tho household
to call the wife of the injured husband to
relieve the defendant from liability in a
court of justice. The tendency of legis
lation of this character, in my judgment,
is open to most serious objection. It
weakens the sacredness of the married
relation and the security of the home.
It alfee-ts not only the husband and the
wife, but may also shield the guilty, aud
is likely to briug shame and un happi
ness to tho children of the family .-fTocte-J.
I can think of no case where such legis
lation would lie beneficial, but I am clear
ly of the opinion that it would lie pro
ductive of great evil."
The Governor disapproves resolutions
providing for the printing of ton thous
and copies of the report of the Indian
Forts Commission, at a cost not exceed
ing f7,0K; for the printing of 12,1)00 cop
ies of a report by Dr. B. II. Warren, the
State Zoologist, containing a history of
tho game of tho Commonwealth, and
another for printing and binding 2,500
copies of the Iexow report, because ef
the uncertainty as to teveuue. He says:
I deem it unwise to approve any measure
of this character until it can lie known
with reasonable certainty whether the
condition ot the Tre tsury will lie such as
to justify the appropriation. Our charit
able and penal institutions must be pro
vided for with judicious care, and, in the
interest of humanity, we cannot permit
them to suffer by the expenditureof pub
lic funds for any purpose which cannot
be regarded as absolutely necessary."
The libel bill has been materially
amended by the Senate Judiciary Gener
al Committee. It is practically a new
bill. The first section provides that in
no case can any prosecution or civil ac
tion for libel be instituted for the print
ing aud publication for the same liliel
upon the same individual in more than
one county of this State. Section two
provides that criminal actions for libel
may be instituted against the writer of
an alleged libel or any person responsib
ly connected with the publication, or bad
knowledge of and assented to or directed
such publication, or against any editor
or publisher who refuses to give the
name of tho author, and any person con-
victed of criminal libel shall bo guilty of
misdemeanor and sentenced to a lice not
exceeding two thousand dollars or im
prisonment not exceeding twel vo months,
or both at the discretion of the court.
According to section three in civil actions
lor lilssl the plea of justification shall be
held as adequate when it is pleaded aud
proven that the material statements of
the publication are substantially true.
The plea of justification if made in good
faith shall not aggravate damages and in
all civil actions (or liiel the recovery
shall lie the amount of injury sustaiuod
by tho plaintiff.
Chairman A. L. Martin, of the house
agricultural committe-o, is goiug to push
his bill to license the sale ol oleo as a ben
efit to tho farmer and a revenue raiser
It would raise, it is claimed, in the
neighborhood of a million dollars a year.
The Martin bill provides for tho licen
sing of the manufacturer, wholesaler and
retailer of ole . The manufacturer would
pay f 1,000 a year, the wholesaler f500 aud
the retailer from $10 to $50 according to
the amount of business be did. The law
of 1S1I5 forbids the manufacture and sale
of oloo iu the slate. It has been em the
statute books for twelve years aud in
that time, millions of pounds 'of bogus
butter have been sold ou the "speak
easy" plan. For the last two years the
state has been keeping a paid force at
work to prevent the sale of oleo, but the
investigating committee shows that the
sale has increased rather than fallen e.lf.
Iu Pittsburg about o00,000 pounls of oleo
are sold monthly and in the last two
years the state has only received ffsilO in
fines.
Many of the farmers and dairymen of
the state arc of the opinion that it is use
less to continue a law that can not be en
forced. They would rather have oleo
sold for just what it is than be compelled
to compete with it in the present man
ner. Mr. Martin is a farmer and dairy
man, having a large farm at Enon Val
ley, Lawrence county. He says that it
would bo to the interest of the farmers to
repeal the act of lss.5. He has written
several hundred letters to tho dairymen
and creamery proprietors of the state and
the great majority of the replies are in
favor of a law licensing oleo.
The question of revenues is causing the
fiscal oilie-ers of the slate a great a great
deal of trouble Auditor General Mylin

condition of the finances. It will lie

SPECIFIC
For Scrofula.
"Since childhood, 1 have bepn
afuVtcd with scrofulous" build and
sores, which caused nie terrible
suff'Hiig. Physicians were unable
to l.clp me, and 1 only grew worse
under their care.
At k-ngtli, 1 began
to take
AYER'S
Sarsaparilla, and
. very soon grew let
tcr. After using
half a dozen Isittles
1 was completely
cured, so that 1 have not bad a Uil
or pimple on any part of my body

cordially recommend Ayer's Sarsa
parilla as the very best blood-purifier
in existence." (1. T. Reixhart,
