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>

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

phia since 1878, is niiw t~rp up, it is

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

[, 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

"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

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.
