BUTLER CITIZEN JOHN H. & W7C. NE6LEY, PROP'RS, Entered at the Pottoffice at Butter as second-clcsxs matter. WEDNESDAY. APRIL 16. 'B4 One Primary Over. One Republican primary iu this oounty, that for tbe election of delegates to National and State Conventions, is now over and the result is satisfactory to all. When we urged upon the peo ple,through January and February and March last, the importance to them of holding on tightly to the powers given lhem by our new rules in the selection of these delegates, we wero answered bv a Republican journal of this place, and by some others, that the people eared nothing about it and would not attend to that duty. What was the result? More than two thousand voters of the county did turn out and did at tend to the matter And the result is that the new rules are now fairly and fully put in practice and will continue to be so. Another primary, and one far more important, is now approaching, that of May 24. At this one nearly a full set of couuty officers are to be Among them ia a Jiulge of our courts, members of the Legislature. County Commissioners, and others,all of which are of special importance to the people at this time. The chief interest so far uaturally centers upon the nomination of the Judge. But for this, we think, there should be but one question for the Republican voters at the primary to decide, and that is, who is the fittest man ? Who has the best legal learning? Who is most competent to sit in judg ment upon the legal rights of our citi zens ? In one sense this office should be non-partisan. But political parties make nominations. And the import ance of the Republicans making a fit nomination on May 24, can not be over estimated. William A. Forquek, Esq., of this place, in the Democratic Presidential Elector for this Congressional district. Building the New Court House, We are informed that plans and specifications for the building of our new Court House will not be ready be fore June, or possibly July. The Com missioners have been visiting other counties to look at their newly erected Court Houses, and yesterday morning started for Huntingdon, Pa., to see the Court House of that county which is represented as one of modern style and convenience. In the meantime it is intended, we learn, to tear down and remove the material of the old building. But the contract for this should be made public by the receiving by the Commissioners of proposals or bids, the same as for any other part of the work to bo done. It is in fact a part and parcel of the work of erection, and the person doing it should be interested in the preserva tion of the old material. The contrac tor for the new house won Id therefore be one moßt interested in removing the old one, as he could remove and save the old material to the best ad vantage, both for the county as well as for himself. More will likely be saved to the county in this way than by giv ing out the work in separate parts. But, in cither way, proposals should l>e received and an opportunity given for public competition in the removal of the old building, the same as for the erec tion of the new one. In this public way only will the taxpayers be satis fied that all i 3 being done in nn open and fair manner. —HON. GALIKIIA A. Gamv will probably be President of the Republi can State Convention that meets at Ilarrisburg to-day. The Slate Convention. The Republican State Convention meets at Harrisburg this day, Wednes* day. Not for a long time has a State Convention c»me so directly from the Republican people of the State. The will of its people will therefore be re spected and carried out. That will is for James G. Blaine as our next can didate for President. VVe look for the Convention to instruct for him by an almost unanimous vote, and the voice of Pennsylvania will be potential at Chicago on June The duties of the State Convention will be, among others, to name the six Delegates-at-Large to represent the State iu the National Convention. Every district in the State has seen to the selection of its own district dele gates. This will leave but the six Delegates-at-Large tor the State Con vention to choose. We have no doubt great care will be taken in their selec tion by the friends of Blaine, aud none but his known friends sent to Chicago. The Convention will also bayc the settling of the Electoral ticket; the nomination of Congressman-at-Large for the State, and the naming of the State Central Committee, one for each county,to conduct the coming campaign in this State. This latter, however, is always done on the recommendation of the member* in the convention from each couuty. We look f»»r harmony and union in all the proceedings of the Con vention. Tiifi Democratic State Convention, that met at Allentown last week, de clared for the Hon. Samuel .1 Randall of this State for the Presidency. .Xo. 5 well, on the McCalmont farm, which came in Inst week, will prove the best, it is said, of any yet ob .ainod in tho Bald Ridge territory The National Delegates At the district conference, held tor this Congressional district at Greenville last Friday, all the three counties of Crawford. Mercer and Butler were rep resented, and the choice for delegates to the Chicago National Convention fell upon Thomas B. Cochran, Esq , of Mercer county and W H. II Riddle, Esq., of this county. Mr. A. 11. Steele, of Crawford county, and Mr. George W. Wright, of Mercer, were named as alternates. Mr. Cyrus Kitchen, of Crawford, was recommended as the Presidential Elector for this district. llev. Josiah R. Titzell, Professor in Thiel College, was in this place last Saturday. Crawford County The Republican nominations for Crawford county were made last week. Dr. W. B. Roberts, who was again a candidate for the Congr?ssional nomin ation, is beaten by Mr Charles W. Miller, of Meadville, by votes; the vote standiug for Miller 2,36£*; lor Roberts 2,CM. Dr. Roberts had many warm personal friends in tbe district, but this result, we suppose, ends his aspirations for Congress in this pres ent district. Mr. Miller is ft new man, and,should he receive the district nomination the singular case would be presented of a Miller succeeding a Miller in this dis trict. All three counties will present a new man this time, and there will be a new deal all around, without any of the em barrassing questions connected with former district nominations. Mercer County Nominations The Republicans of Mercer couuty met in county convention by delegates on Tuesday of last week and put in nomination the following full county ticket: For Judge, S. 11. Miller; Congress, J. J. Spearman; State Senate, Samuel McClure; Assembly, J. W. Russell, 11. A. Harsh, T. B. Roberts; Sheriff, P. L. Williams; Prothonotary, A. H. Mc- Elrath; Clerk of Courts, William Jack; Recorder, Jonathan Dean; Treasurer, W. J. McKay; District Attorney, G. E. Patterson; Commissioners, Wm. Beatty, M. W. Alexander; Poor Direc tor, Imbrie Zuver; Auditors, Jame3 S. Walh.ce, W. L. Mercer. The vote on the Judgeship was sub mitted to the test of a popular vote, by the instructions to the delegates at the primaries on the same, and which resulted in the nomination of Mr. Mil ler, present member in Congress for this district. We are sorry to learn of the seri ous illness of Mr. William Crookshank, of Winfield township, this county. He is a good citizen and we earnestly hope for his speedy recovery. The Butler Presbytery. The Presbytery of Butler will meet in the Presbyterian Church, of Butler, Pa., Tuesday, April 22, 1884, at i 1 A. M. On Tuesday at 7:30 R. M, a confer ence will be held.

The Tariff on Wool WASHINGTON, April 7.—The Con verse bill, to restore the tariff on wool to the rates of 1807, came up yester day. Mr. McKinley, of Ohio, made a strong speech in favor of it, as did also Mr. Converse, one of the Democrats from Ohio, who promised the people that if the Democratic party was placed in power it would restore the rates on wool. Mr. Morrison opposed the bill bitterly, as did Mr. Hurd, the latter as serting that be would rather take off the entire duty than raise it one cent. The vote was taken by ayes and nays. The Democrats with few exceptions voted against the-bill, while all the Re publicans except twelve, who were mostly from Massachusetts and other Eastern States, voted for the bill. It was beaten by a vote of 120 to 11 'J. The vote on the bill serves to put the Democrats on record. The campaign in Ohio last fall was waged largely on the issue of tho wool tariff. The Dem ocrats promised that early in the pres ent Congress a bill would be passed to raise the duty on wool to the old tariff of ISO 7, and now, after the Democratic majority has avoided month after month meeting the question squarely, it promptly votes it down. It has served to show the Ohio wool men that they allowed themselves to be duped by the promises of Democratic stump orators, all of whom promised that so much would be done for the poor, wool growers by the present Con gress. —The amount of lumber, etc., haul ed through this place, and carried on the P. «V W. road to the Bald Ridge district is immense, and everything looks like brisk times there this sum mer. REVS. Samuel Kerr, of Harrisville, and D. W Kwirig, of Centerville, this county, were in town yesterday morn ing on their way to Browm-dale, to at tend a Presbytery of the U. P. Church being held at that place. —Mr. David Cnpps has secured a quarry privilego opposite the Waller X Boos mill of this place, and intends at once to open up and ijuarry a large quantity of good building stone, which he will have for sale to nil parties wish ing stone this summer In the Long Ago, From Pittsburgh Dispatch of Uth, inst.] OQ Wednesday evening at sunset the Jewish feast of the Passover began. The origin ot the feast can be seen in Exodus, where the following answer is given to the question as to what is meant by the service: "It is the sacri fice of the Lord's passover, who passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt when He sinote the Egyp tians, and delivered our houses." The festival begins on the 14th day of the Hebrew "Xisan," which corresponds to our month of April, and continues for eight days, and this year will close at sunset of next Wednesday. It is looked upon in a religious and a joyful spirit by the Hebrew people. In a ioyful light because of a deliverance "from bondage of their forefathers: and in a religious light, to give thanks to the God who thus delivered them. It is enjoined upon the Hebrews to rest from manual labor on the first and last days of the Passover, and this com mand is rigidly kept in their native country. In America it is not, how ever, as a general thing, observed, though in Pittsburgh many of that re ligious persuasion kept to their belief by resting from work. Services were held Wednesday evening and yester day, and will be held each day of the feast. Preparations are made for the celebration by a general house-clean ing. But the most particular and rather penitential observance of the Passover is the use dnring that time ot only un leavened bread. This observance aTso has its origin from the facts given in the Bible about the escape of the Is realites from Egypt. For a long time Pharaoh, the Egyptian king, refused to let the oppressed people depart, but the last plague, which was the killing of every Egyptian first born, so affected him that he ordered them to leave at once, and they left, taking with them their kneading troughs and the dough therein before it was leavened, Jfter they got outside the gates they took this dough and rolled it into thin cakes baked it in the sun, Their decendants keep up a remembrance of this by use ing during the feast of the Passover on ly unleaven bread, which is made sim ply from flour and water without the other ingredients and concomitants which people usually put into the mix ture. This bread is usually obtained from New York, I'hiladelphia and Cleveland, but thisyeara firm in Pitts: burghh has prepared some. It must be very carefully made; other dough must not come in contact with it, nor must it be mixedjin vesselsjused formerly to knead other kinds of dough. Any one can, of course, make such bread if he or she be careful enough to keep it intact from afiy leaven. But all other kinds of food are allowed. A Cruel Wrestling Match The so-called wrestling matches that are now attracting the attention of the sporting elements in our large cities are very cruel affairs as will be seen from the account of one that lately took place in Cleveland, 0., between Ross the local champion, and a Japanese named Sorakichi, and which was wit nessed by 1,000 people. The first bout was catch-as-catch-can. Time was called at sharp. The Jap advanced with arms outstretched and his body bent forward. He made a grab for Ross and jumped on his back like a tiger. He forced his man all over the floor, and finally pushed him over the ropes and on to the floor. He then tried to prevent Ross from getting back on the stage This made Ross fighting mad and there was blood in his eye. When he regained the platform the Jap tried hard to get a hold but failed in ne arly every attempt In the meantime his hard work made him tired, and he puff ed and panted, while Ross kept in ex cellent trim. The Jap finally succeeded in getting a crotch lock on Rosa, and held it firm ly and turned Itoss over. The Cleve laoder made a graud effort and broke the bold aud jumped on his knees. The Jap again tried to force his man over the ropes. Ross suddenly got a rolling hip lock on the Jap, and twist ing his shoulders over, got all four points down in fine shape. The Jap wanted to push Ross again, and the Scot raised his fist to strike him, but the men were separated. First fall for Ross. Time, o minutes 10 seconds. The second bout was the Japanese style. Ross did not understand the putting on of the scurf which the .lap wore around his waist. Sorakicbi was asked to put it on for Roes, but he re fused. lie finally consented, and went about it in a cross, crabbed manner. Time was called at 8:48. The Jap bounded to the center of the stage like a cannon ball, and before Ross knew where he was the Fap made a terrific drive with his head, and butted Ross on the left side, knockiug birn to the floor and breaking one of his short ribs, and badly winding him. It was so quickly accomplished that it almost Ross's breath. Fall for Matsada Sora kichi. Time less than two seconds. The third bout was catch-as-catch can. The Jap again took the advance and started stealthily with his arms outstretched. Hoss copied him, and the two men walked and hopped about both stooping low like a pair of game cocks, arid glaring fiercely at each other. Suddenly they made a dive for each other. Ross trot the Jap by the neck and tried to turn him, but the wonder derful strength of the foreigner helped him out. Ross got a half Nelson lock and they wriggled toward the ropes and the Jap weut over, II« was up again at onee, and Ilos3 made another half Nelson lock, and they rolled over. Both men appeared to lii' victors, hut the referees derided the fall in favor of Ross. Harding ob jected, and said he would not let thfc Jup wrestle anv ruore. Both retired to the Jap's room. Roferco Curry said that Ross got four points down fair and square, and that I e was the winner. The time was 4 minutes and 20 seconds. Ross appeared game and anxious to con tinue, although his broken rib pained him. The Jap appeared again at iu spite of Harding's announcement that he would not return. The fourth bout was Japanese style. The heathen spat on his hands touched* the floor, and made a wild and savage leap for Ros*. Ross was up to the butting act this time, and was ready and willing ile dodged the Jap the first two times, anil then butted the Jap in the foi:e, nearly breaking his nose. Again Ross let him }i»ye it and butted liiui a terrible Mow in the stomach. The Jap fell over on his side winded and in had shape. Be fore he touched the floor, however, Iloss slipped and his hand touched, m hich gave the bout to the Jap. Time, one minute and a half. The excitement was intense. It wan fully five minutes before the referee ; could announce the result of the bout. I The Jap was led down stairs to his dressing room by Harding. He walk ed poorly aud was dizzy and weak. He sank into a chair with the tears stream ing from his eyes. He moaned piteous lv, aud held his hand over bis nose and stomach alternately. The Japanese cyclone was complete |lv knocked out. Harding returned and t announced that the Jap was done. The | referet called time and then ended the ! match in favor of Ross, who takes the ! stakes and the door receipts. ANNOUNCEMENTS.
