THE Democratic members of the
House at Washington held a caucus
on the Morrison Tariff bill Tuesday
night. The free traders were in a large
majority, and tbe protectionists kept
very quiet, but it was developed that
there were enough of them to defeat the
Morrison bill if they have the courage
to unite with the Republicans. The
resolution to press the Morrison bill
pawed by a rote of 115 to 57.
THE Judgeship is no political office |
It has no political demands upon it and
no political patronage whatever. For
that position the people look at the j
man and not at the office. Of that man
is exacted the highest character, the I
sternest integrity and deepest learning.
The office must even seek the man, :
tradition says. It is not a thing to be j
hawked about to the highest bidder, or j
given away as a reward to anyone.
The man who holds it holds a high
and sacred trust and that trust should
be stored in a pure heart and guarded
bv clean hands, hands that do not itch
for gold. The Judge is an exemplar to
the young, and as such, should teach
the youth that "a good name is rather
to be chosen than great riches." He is
protection to the poor, strength to the
weak, justice to all. His personal re
quirements are of a higher type than
those demanded of a President, aud no
man who cannot fill this measure of
worth should be elected to a judgeship.
Every voter owes to himself, his
fellow men and his Creator the duty of
wisely exercising his right of suffrage.
In day his and generation he should
honestly, fearlessly, conscientiously
strive to better the condition of man
kind.—Mercer Republican.

Parker Township Items
Qute a severe storm of wind and
hail passed over this section last Tues
day prostrating several derricks.
The rigs are up and nearly ready for
drilling on the Turner farm, J. W. Mc-
Kee, owner, J. W. Wass'on.
A couple of boys from North Bear
Creek on last Tuesday night, stole a
bee hive from 'Squire Jas. Riddle, of
Bruin. Mr. Riddle followed the chaps
and secured their identification the
next day, swore out a warrant for their
arrest, and they were brought up be
fore 'Squire Kelly and confessed their
crime, and not securing bail, were com
mitted, and taken to Butler by Con
stable Kepler.
The correspondent from Bruin, for
the Petrolia Record, is some, on "boom
ing" candidates.
A festival was held in the A. O. U.
W. hall on Friday night for the bene
fit of poor children.
The Prohibitionists had a big meet
ing in the school house Friday night,
Rev. Wick of Farmington and Rev.
Taylor, of Petrolia, done the Bpeaking.
A number of ladies and genta went to
hear the addresses, which are said to
have been very good. Three delegates
to their County Convention at Butter
on the 18th were elected, viz: Robin
son, Daubenspeck and Orr.
Quite a number of people have mov
ed into our metropolis this Spring,
among the number is Blair Hooks, of
the Stevenson farm, D. S. McKelvy
and Thos. Wallace from Karns City,
Archie Stewart from Fairview.
Mrs. J. C. McCandless has been ly
ing very ill for some time. Drs. Den
nison of Bruin and Burchard, of Bald
win are in attendance. Mrs. Wm. H.
Parker is convalescent.
The primary on Saturday was very
poorly attended. Why is it that the
Republicans can't turn out better ?
This Way of leaving it to a few, and
then blaming or finding fault with
others afterwards, is not as it should
be. Turn out to our primaries.
The political caldron of all parties
boils slowly, except in a certain direc
tion, which will develope after a while,
then look out for sticks. JONES.
BUTLER, April 1, 1884
EDS. CITIZEN: —It was a very pleas
ant trip Tuesday evening, April Ist,
to the pleasant little town of Prospect,
nine miles west of Butler. Every visit
to that place brings back remembrance,
of eighteen years past. We were then
favorably impressed with the place,
for its location, beauty, and the clean
liness of streets and walks. But above
all the high moral tone of the citizens,
with the spirit of enterprise that seems
to be exhibited, with their good social
manifestations. They were particularly
kind to us on this occasion, in that we
were kindly escorted to a prominent
seat, especially reserved for Butler
visitors, who went, as supposed, es
pecially to visit and enjoy the enter
tainment given by the Prospect Acade
mv School. We will say the entertain
ment was fine. We could not eulogizo
the performances without taking up
each performance and then we could
not do justice. But suffice to say, all
through, it was very good, surprising
ly good. Showing the ability, efficien
cy and high tone of Prof. N. M. Crowe
and J. C. Ricketts. It does seem to us
that Prospect has done well in their
instituting this school. The location,
the society and character of the citi
zens, bespeak the Prospect Academy a
grand success. We believe the public
can safely entrust their sons and daugh
ters with a certainty they will be edu
cated under Prof. Crowe and Rickets
and also Miss White, an accom
plished teacher in vocal and instrumen
tal music, whose very presence and
ability would inspire a taste in all her
students, that she would meet and
supply by imparting to her pupils.
This is a noble institution, ably man
aged by an earnest corps of Directors
or Trustees, who seem determined at
any sacrifice to make this school equal
to any for comfort, morality.

The Treasurer's Salary.
EDS. CITIZEN: —PIease give space
to a short note in your paper, on Salary
of County Treasurer. I hastily indorse
the communication of Franklin Twp.
Between 1866 and 1867 the new jail
and Sheriff's House were built and
paid for, I took my seat in the commis
sioner's office in Nov., 1866, Treasurer
Moore had died. The first thing was
to appoint a Treasurer. The casting
vote fell to me, as the other two each
had their man. John C. Moore, Esq-,
brother of deceased, was appointed.
As a proposition had been made to
leave S3OO in the treasury, out of the
amount fixed by the two previous
boards. SI2OO being the amout fixed
for that year, therefore J. C. Moore
got SIOOO for the year 1867. Hugh
Morison was treasurer for 1868 and '69
and got about SI3OO. Now as to fix
ing SISOO as the salary. I would not
split hairs, but I can find plenty of good '
men glad to serve for SI3OO.

—Jas. Campbell, Esq.. of Greenville, 1
Pa., formerly of Parker tp., this county,
was in town last week on business, j
His old friends here are always pleased
to see him.
—G. H. Chandler, Esq., credited to j
| Karns City, this county, but of whom
we know but little, has been disbarred j
from practicing before the Pension I>e- ,
partnieut at Washington City, owing
to improper methods in his practice.
—W. D. Brandon, Esq., received at |
the primary in this borough last Satur- ;
day the largest vote cast for any L'ep- j
resentatiye delegate to the State Con
vention. In view of the attack made
upon him by a certain paper, for being
a friend of Judge McJunkin, this vote
is significant, as showing public senti
ment here.
—The names of the Hon. Daniel Ag"
new, of Beaver, Hons. A. M. Brown>
Thos. M. Bayne and Thos. M. Mar
shall, of Allegheny county, and Hon.
J. W. Lee, of Venango county, are
among the prominent ones spoken of as
Delegates-at-Large for the Western
part of the State, to the National Chi
cago Convention.
—Mr. Robert Cooper, of Win field
tp., this county, aged 68 years, was in
town last Friday and called at the CITI
ZEN Office to see us. Among other
things he mentioned that he had just
completed a reading of the Old Testa
ment of the Bible within the last month.
He had again read it through in a
month's time. He remarked, in an
swer to a question, lhat the book of
Daniel was the most interestingto him,
although the books of Job, Jonah, and
others were almost equally so. This
is by no means the first time Mr. Coop
er has read the Bible through, he says,
and having time on weeks days, after
reading the papers, he spends the bal
ance of his time in reading the Bible.
He is an intelligent and good citizen
and a man much respected by all who
know him.
—Mr. Samuel Sykes, Sr., and family
of this place, removed last week to Al
leghenv City, and can now be found
there at No. 135 Lacock street. Mr.
Sykes for many years past did business

Dougal corner lots of this place, and
was always recognized as a clever
dealer and an honest man. He and
family leaye many friends here who
wish them prosperity in business at
their new home.
Esquire J. R. Pringle hag removed
•his grocery store to the rooms formerly
occupied by Mr. Samuel Sykes, im
mediately opposite his old stand. Mr.
Elias II Kirk has rented and will keep
a store in the old Pringle room.
—Our neighbor, Mr. W. 6. Power,
clerk of Phillips Bros., in Brady Build
ing, is one of the most benevolent and
good citizens that has come to our
place for a long time. He is to be seen
almost every day cleaning the mud
from the stone crossings of the streets
that lead each way from his office, for
the benefit of all pedestrians passiug
over the same. When it is considered
that the cleaned walks are but little
! personal convenience to himself we
must ascribe his labors to a desire to
promote the comfort of his fellow be
ings, or, a still higher ones A sense Qf
cluanliness,which is ranked next unto
Godliness.
—Capt. John G. Bippus, of Oakland
tp., who met with the accident we
mentioned last week, received greater
than then stated. When be was kick
ed by the cow and his leg broken he
fell under the animal and was tramped
and bruised by her until pulled by his
children from under her feet in an un
conscious state. We are pleased to
hear he is recovering from his injuries.

CINCINNATI, March 32.—Mr. Murat
Haistead telegraphs the New York
Tribune to-night as follows: "The
number of persons killed anil wounded
in the riot is about 200. The last
fatal shot fired in anger up to this
writing was between 4 and 5 o'clock
this morning, though a poor soldier
boy was instantly killed this evening
by the accidental discharge of his gun.
The court house is not the utter ruin it
was supposed to be. A large portion
of the valuable records have been saved,
The money that was iu the treasury if
all safe. The vaults, which were very
heavy, are mainly good.
"We have confidence that there will
not be a repetition of the terrors of three
nights that will be ?o memorable here.
But only the overwhelming force of
state troops prevents further disastrous
demonstrations, The determination to
lynch the gang of murders in prison
and to release the crowd of rioters who
have been made prisoners is something
terrific, and secret meetings were held
to-day that would mean mischief if
there"were not a thousand rifles and
several batteries at hand. It is the
display of power, making by
the mob hopeless, that will prevent
fresh outbreaks
"The presence of regular soldiers
from Newport Barracks at the sub-
Treasury last night was an element of
confidence. In stormy times the blue
cloth works well. It happens that the
City Controller had a complete list of
the names of the tax-payers of the city
and county and their addresses. The
The tax bill give a discription and
valuation of the property. These are
valuable now.
A REVIEW OF THE THREE NIGHTS.
"The rioting on the first night was
largely by working men of good char
acter, who resented the fact that mur
ders who have money to set in motion
the machinery of criminal lawyers have
had freedom here. The second night
the spirit of the commune appeared and
petroleum was put to use, as by the
Parisians when they are pleased to
burn their public buildings. The third
night the number of determined men
had been largely reduced, and there
were swarms of boys.
"Of the crowd that was smashing
pawn-brokers' shops three were grown
men, and they were thieves. They
had with them a rabble of boys gener
ally from 17 to 19 years of age, and one
testified in the police court to-day that
he was "13, and going ou 14 years of
age." Out of 60 rioters gathered in
for attempting to seize a battery of can
non at Music Hall, only 10 were men.
The rest were boys, some very bad
ones, while others seemed to want ex
citement, above all things. And so the
crowds had depreciated from honest
men, misguided, but animated by
righteous wrath, kindled agaiusta sys
tematized infamy of the most outrage
ous character, to a vicious rabble of
boys, in the hands of the lowest despera
does.
POPULAR GRIEVANCE.
"The excited people had a real griev
ance to begin with. The administra
tion of the criminal law here has been
damnable, and the influenco of sheer
criminals in public affairs alarming.
That which has happened will, we may
hope, make irresistible the influences
that lead to better ways.
