BUTLER CITIZEN JOHN H. L W. C. NE6LEY, PROP'RS, Entered at the Postoffice at Butler as second-clcsss matter. WEDNESDAY, MAY 2, 1883. COMMITTEE~MEETING. The members of the Republican County Committee are hereby request ed to meet in the Court House at But ler on Saturday, 12th day of May, at one o'clock p. M., for the purpose of fix ing the time for holding the Republi can Primary election for the present year, and transacting such other busi ness as may be necessary for the best interests of the party. CLABENCE WALKER Chairman County Committee. BCTLEB, May 2d, 1883. The members of the Republican County Committee are hereby requested to meet in the Arbitration room, of the Court House, at Butler, Pa., on Sat urday, May 12tb, 1883, at 1 o'clock P. M., for the purpose of fixing the time for holding the primary election and to attend to all such business as may properly come before the committee. C. C. RVMUERGER, Chairman. As both of the Chairmen, so claim ed, have agree I upon the s ime date for the meeting of the Committee, we pre sume there will ba harmony and the interests of the party in the future alone looked after and considered. Republican County Committee. By the notices in another place it will be seen the members of the Re* publican County Committee for this county have been called to meet on May 12th. The principle object of the meeting is to fix the date for the primary elec tions, as stated in the call. Other matters of importance may, . however, receive the attention of the Committee The new rules for the government of the party in this State, as suggested by both of the Republican State Con. ventions of last year, should now be considered and put into operation- Their principal object is to do away with the practice of County Committees doing what the people of the party themselves have the right and should do. One of these evil practices was choosing the delegates to State and National Conventions. This by the new rules, is now given to the people and said delegates are to be voted for and chosen at the primary election, the same as any candidate for nomination to a county office is voted for and chosen. This was considered a necessary re form, and we believe the suggestions of the last State Conventions are being adopted by all the counties in the State. Owing to the fact that there are but two county offices to fill this year, those of District Attorney and County Surveyor; and to the further fact that the State Convention cannot, under the new rules, be held at a period earlier than the second Wed nesday of July, there has been no oc casion for as early action this year as heretofore. A further fact that might be mentioned, is the one that the Leg islature has not as yet succeeded in forming any of the new districts re. qnired to be formed, The people, there tore, have been slow to move this year. The primaries, however, while not compelled to be held as early as here tofore, should now be held at a date in time for the county to be represented in the State Convention. Any time in June will now be sufficient for this pur pose. The County Committee will no doubt consider this subject in designat ing the time for the primary election this year. While, as we have said, there are but two county officers to elect this year, yet there are two important State of" ficea to fill, those of State Treasurer and State A uditor General. With can didates nominated for these offices, by delegates chosen by the people, we see no cause or reason at present why the Republican party of the State cannot be united and harmonious. The im portance of this is the fact that all of the elections this year will be but pre liminary contests to the great one com ing on next year, 1884, when another President must be chosen. The neces. aity for great care in all the political movement* in the party this year is therefore apparent to all. With nom inatious made by and for the great body of the party, and not by and for indi viduals or rings, we believe success can be assured now and hereafter. Tiie natural gas introduced into this place does not work satisfactorily go far. This may arise from causes that can soon be remedied. But the price should be lowered. We notice in other places near by that 1,000 feet of natural gas is furnished at 50 cente Tiie scarcity in butter is greater hereabout than ever known before. This can only be accounted for by the increased consuming population,arising from the developments in our county of railroads, coal aud coke works, etc. The farmers now have a market at their doors for all surplus butter, eggs, etc. ( aod sell to peddlers and thus save freight and time ia carrying to market. The result will be a necessity for an in creaac in the production. NOTICES Lave been posted up in Martinsburg, by the Pittsburgh and Western Railroad Company, changing the name of the station there from Martinsburg to Bruin, taking effect May Ist inst. IN referring last week to the defeat in the House at Harrisburgof the Pro hibitory Constitutional Amendment bill, it was stated that the votes of Mr. Ziegler, one of our members, were ad" verse to the passage of the bill. We made the statement from what we saw in the papers or beard from others. Since then we have received the Legislative Record and are pleased to see that Mr. Ziegler voted to strike out the "com. pensation rider" clause, which was put on to kill the bill. Both he and Mr. Donly voted right on that main question. The House refused to strike it out, by a vote of 77 yeas to 111 nays, and this was considered the loss of the bill, and both Mr. Donly aDd Mr. Zeigler then voted against the bill on account of that clause being retain ed. When the bill was up in the Senate, before the above vote in the House, we see that Mr. Greer voted to post pone its consideration. What was the object in thus voting we cannot say, further than from the way the Record reads it looks as if the Senator expect ed the bill to receive the fate in the House that it did. Wk are really sorry for the editor of the Eagle He takes the probable loss of free passes so hard that it grieves us. True, these free passes have been a great convenience to him for many years past, twenty or more. But has not the Pennsylvania railroad paid enough in that way for votes given it so long ago ? Then there is the new Constitution that comes in and says this business must stop. Who should lament that the paramount law of the State is being enforced ? But the edi tor of the Eagle, does, and in arguments as trivial as they are fallacious. He should, however, try to be truthful when speaking of others. He knows well enough that the writer of thi3 never sold a pass in his life, to any person. Yet he says he did, when he knew that in the case of the one he refers to the pass was owned and held by another person, and on a Western road and received in pay for advertising for said road. The holder of it claimed the right to dispose of it,as it was of no nse to him in way of travel. But, as usual, the editor of the Eagle when caught in the wrong is compelled to make misstatements in order to escape. A more manly and honest course wouid be for him to tell the truth always. Theodore Tilton in Butler. Theodore Tilton lectured in this on last Wednesday evecing. The de sire to hear and to see him brought to his lecture a large audience. He came fully up to the expectations of his hear ers. The title of his lecture, "The World's To-morrow," was treated in a practical and very instructive way ; the object being to show the world's ad vance in art and science in the past and what we may in all reason expect from "The World's To-morrow." From a reference to the improvement in agri culture and the mechanic arts he pro ceeded to treat of society and political government. On these subjects he was able and interesting. There were none present but felt they had received new ideas. That part in particular where he referred to the future of our own nation was full of important thought. What we are now, with so much variety of race and color, and what we may be in the near future, with all the nations of the old world continuing to pour in their people upon U3, with so much diversity of language, of habits, and of conflicting interests— all these he depicted in a manner that caused all to reflect on the future that lays before us. His language was most choice and scholarly and his style pleasing. That Theodore Tilton is an educated and able man few would ques tion. His lecture closed the last of the season given our people under the auspices of the Lecture Association, as sisted by the Germania Cornet Band, of this place, who certainly are entitled to all thanks for the number of pleasing and profitable entertainments they afforded our people the past winter. Republican State Convention, The Pennsylvania Republican State Convention will meet in liarrisburg July 11. Only two nominations are to be made this year, those for Audi tor (jenerHl and State Treasurer. The campaign is not expected to be an ex citing one, and were it not for the in dication it will give of how near har mony has been restored to the Repub lican party but little interest would be awakened. This will, however, depend in great measure upon the faithfulness with which the instructions for choosing delegates to the convention are carried out. If they are selected fairly and there is no appearance of bossism, the party will be substantially united.—A. Y. Tribune. This reminds us that here in Craw ford county there are no candidates for county offices to be nominated, but primaries must be held, for the new rules require that delegates to the State Convention must be chosen "in the same manner in which candidates for the General Assembly are nomin ated." Inasmuch candidates for the General Assembly in Crawford county are nominated at primary elections, there is nothing to do but for the County Committee to meet »nd issue u call for the usual primaries. A£ tiu: Convention will not be held until July 11th there is no hurry. Doubtless the primaries will be held about the u»ual time iu June, at least that would seem to be as good a time as any.— C'rau> Cord Journal. Money Power in Politics. Almost every United States Senator elected of late is, or is reported to be, immensely rich. So common has be come the election of millionaires to the Senate that bullion, instead of brains, is likely to be thought the Senatorial qualification. A natural query arises —How far does the money power reach in politics ? aud this leads natu rally to another—How shall the corrupt ing use of money be stopped ? It does not follow because rich men are chosen Senators, that they buy their elections. The Reformer would not intimate this. A bonanza king may be eminently fit to serve as a states man, and may be e'ected so to serve without corruptly expending a dime. His private character may be above suspicion, his political conduct above reproach. But when rich men regular ly win, and when they show no super lative power of intellect, our free spoken American will say that money power prevails. He may not indicate how ; he may not realize that the im putation means bribery and criminal corruption ; yet all the same he will tell what money has done, and point to our supreme legislative body as in competent, if not venal. Aud it will not be denied that the use of money in politics is a positive evil, and a threatening danger. It will not be doubted that money is the one thing essential to political success, from the town meeting up. It is common knowledge that poor men are seldom selected for candidates, and that they seldom seek for nomination, because, frankly stated, they cannot afford it. With these admissions, it is easy to see how thoughtful patriots may feel alarm at the prospect, and may, and should, look seriously for methods of reform. Political purity is necessary to the re public's maintenance. The prostitu tion of politics will speedily work out national ruin. There may be a legitimate money expenditure fur election purposes. It was out of this that illegitimate expen diture grew. But this outlay is small in any case, and it attaches wholly to popular elections, where ballots must be printed, meetings paid for, and the like. It should not aud cannot in any degree reach into a State Legislature, to influence representatives there chos en. And in the popular election it has been carried fur beyond reasonable bounds, into wild and inexcusable ex travagance. We Americaus have put too much brass band and bluster into our political campaigns; we have rolled up so-called legitimate election expenses into proportions wickedly lurge and annually increasing. With out direct intention to bribe any volar, campaign committees have swelled their "assessments" on candidates, even of the most local character, until payment ought everywhere to be re fused as political blackmail, iyb»ch in many cases it simply is. There are numerous ward committees in every large city, self-made and self-perpetuat ing, which dictate the nominations as sumably made by a convention, and do this solely for the blood-money they may exat-i, Tfcey tickle some rich man's vanity, or oompooni gome bad mau's prospective venalty, thai tuejr may tap a fat "barrel" or divide the plunder. Furthermore—and this is the most dangerous fact iit iU {/Qijnection—the actual purchase of votes has growa to be thought a legitimate campaign business. In some form, or under some guise, it is openly carried on at every election, despite laiVs against bribery and public sentiment against corruption. Committees appropriate liberal sums to make it successful, and the bast men in many communities ad minister the f«ui}s. Jn one way or another, the poor man ot political virtue is regularly bought; either p:»td for his vote outright, or nominally paid for his day's work, or won over through his appetite and the "free bar" in his neighborhood. The demoralizing ten dency of all this evident enough, yet not sufficiently realised ;e com mon wo look upon with indifference cr ignore altogether. Bribery at the polls is a3 common as candidates. But we are glad to see a movement in some localities to resurrect the dead letter of Lho lg,w, and prohibit practices so dan gerous. In several towns of our ac quaintance this }ias taken form as a vigilance committed, £o£} ; posed of men from each party, resoived Oil detecting all defenders and securing theii 1 punishment. The very existence of such a couiGiUtPPi composed of men from each party, resolved eg detecting all offenders and securing their pa nisi* ment. The very existence of such a committee has been influential for good, and lUv active work of one, at least, iu bringing ptosocjjtion after an offense, will long have effect. Until similar efforts are gct*«»at»y put forth, the money power in politics must breed corruption wide-spread. The adequate punishment of bribery at the polls may curtail that i# higher places, and would certainly insure bai ter officials, better representatives. A man who corrupts the suffrage «to win place will corruptly administer the duties of that place, if it may profit him so to do. A pur# suffrage is essential to national perpetuity. Tfl maintain this, the man who sells his vole be punished equally with him who bays. The Reformer. Viet» Versa. Tbo Democrats in the Houts at Haf risbury, says the Beaver Times, where thev are in the mojority, are not half as reliable on questions of reform, as the Democrat* iu the Senate, where they are in the minority. The latter body passed the anti-railroad pas» «,ili, aad sent it to the House for concur rence, whcrp it will either be allowed to sleep itself to 403 th, or be killed with mischievous amendmeuls. The Senate a]so passed and sent over ti*& Philadelphia Recorder repes-.l bill; and to the amazement of nearly everybody, the House voted to non.conciirj and it was only after some lively bees were put into the bonnets of aoron of the Democratic lenders of the llou»e, that a reconsideration was carried next day ««a.nrl now the bill is a law, aud the Recnrdw'j office, which has been a menace to the fco.o/j people of Philadel phia since 1878, is niiw t~rp up, it is to be hoped, root and brauch. » £JC!i? e " jfciityrdav the 12th inat. will f»e last day tho filing of final and par tial accounts iu tkeotyiw uf the Register and Recorder for prestutjliou »hc regular June term, may 2-21.

Marshall clerk, for the ensuing jear. Rev. George W. Bean and elder Thomas Uays were appointed principal commissioners to the General Assem bly, which is to meet at Saratoero Springs, X. Y., in May, and Rev. Jas. H. Marshall aud elder J. T. Bingham, alternates. Rev. T. F. Stauffer, of the Reformed Church, and Rev Homer Smith, of the M. E. Church, were invited to sit as corresponding members. Rev. Alvin Reed accepted calls from the churches of Plain Grove and Har lansburg, each for one-half his minis terial labors, and is to be installed at Plain Grove May 22, and at llarlans burg May 23, by a committee, consist ing of Revs. Wright, Walker and Wil liams. A call for one-half the minis terial labors of R. C. Yates, licentiate, was presented to the Presbytery and it was resolved to retain it until the next meeting, when it is expected that he will be received and accept the call. The next meeting of Presbytery was appoiuted at Zelienople, on the 4th Tuesday of June, at 11 A. M. The overture of the Synod of Pennsylvania, proposing that it should be made a delegate body, was answered in the negative. Rev. John W. Fulton, late pastor of Harrisvllle and Amity churches, and now of Falls City, Neb., was dismissed to the Presbytery of Nebraska city. Of the thirty-three churches, twenty reported full payment of their pastor's salaries, viz, Summit, TTnionville, North Butler, Pine Grove, Clintonville, Plain Grove, liutler, Sunbury, Har lansburg, Martinsburg, New Salem, North Washington, Centreville, North Liberty, Jefferson Centre, Allegheny, \lt. Nebo, Zelienople, New Hope and Pleasant Valley; of the other churches some reported balances of salary due their pastors, and some made no report on this subject. Rev. Will. E Oiler and W. D. Bran don, Esq., were elected members of the Presbyterian board of colportage of Western Pennsylvania. A narrative of the state of religion in the churches of the Presbytery was read by Rev. .las. 11.

It is unfortunate to say the least that a correspondent should misstate occurrences to the paper for which he corresponds, ftg the editor has uo chance of knowing the facts, as «i>« ''ase with a neighboring paper, in which the correspondent represents persons as forging names, or names of firms to a jettpr to the officers of the P. W. R. H., reoomjtiiendjng th.e phange of the name of the station here for various reasons. The correspondent had no knowledge that such wr.s done as he sets forth, and makes his paper say what it should not have said, that which was totally false, in a matter, that the people sec was a benefit, and by urgent necessity, a desideratum to the business interests of the place.

Changing ttu* names of towns to the name of their po3tolt)ce is certainly "a coriHumation devoutly to be wished"— in thiH eonnty, at least—how much better, Glenora, Eau Claire, North Hope, and Baldwin, would be to El dorado, Farmington, North Washing ion and i/c:;; jpw. What do you all say ? J fiNKs. [By our remarks iu auother place our above correspondent will see that both iieaarj.

The President's Friend. From the Commercial Gazette. [, WASHINGTON, D. C., April 23.—The ! Critic has the following to-n : ght : 1 Among the teams which drove up to the main portico of the White House to-day was a decidedly country looking | outfit, covered with mud and drawn by an attenuated nag. Inside the vehicle was an old countryman with mixed red and grev whiskers, clad in a homespun ! suit. Alighting, ha drew forth from | under a pue of straw a long nicked ! bottle, and marched up to the door j \eeper with : "Hez the President got back yet':'' "Yes, got back last night." "Ken 1 see him rite away ?" "Xo, sir; got orders not to let any one see him. He is slightly indispos ed."' "Yaas," drawled the countryman, "I know that, but ver zee it's collick what's got a hold on him; an' I've come all the way from Pohick TO GIVE HIM A DOSE of this yere (shaking the long-necked bottle.) It's A'nt Sally Hooper's home made collick killer, an' it'll fetch him about in the jark ot a lamb's tail." "Can't help it, my friend ; you can not get in. Call again," said the door keeper, with a broad grin, as he closed the door. And the grizzled son of Pohick sadly mounted his muddy ve hicle and drove off muttering something about "Don't care a dam if ther colic goes to his brain and produces con sumption." HIS TENTH MAN. Representative Thompson Mur ders His Wife's Paramour. CINCINNATI, 0., April 27.— Among the passengers who boarded the train for Cincinnati over the Southern road at llarrodsburg Junction this morning where little Phil. Thompson, who rep resents the Eighth Kentucky district in Congress, and Walter Davis, a prom inent business mau of llarrodsburg. Although the two men had rode oyer from llarrodsburg to the Junction on the same train, they probably did not observe each other until in changing cars they both chanced to enter the SAME coach. Just as the train was starting Thompson noticed Davis and instantly rushed at him. Witnesses gay that as he did so 'he shouted EX? eitedly with an oath. "You'll go to Cincinnati with my wife again, will you ?" There was a scuffle which lasted for but a moment, when Davis retreated from the car. After passing out his head came on a level with the window, through which Thompson fired. The ball entered behind the ear and passed out of the forehead, killing him instantly. He fell beside the track APD rolled down an eight foot embank ment. The train was stopped when Thomp son addressed the passengers, telling them briefly why he had been led to fire the shot. lie then said he wanted TO go back to llarrodsburg and he re turned on the samp train that bore the dead body of Davis. Arriving at llar rodsburg Thompson went directly to the Court House, and addressing Judge Harding, informed him of what he had done and gave himself up. Remember Thir.
