I FRIDAY. APRII'sTI^;.
THE house at Harriabarg has pass-
I ed finally the bill prohibiting the sale
of intoxicating drinks on Decoration
Day,
A proposition is before the Legis
lature to amend the orthography or
spelling used in the printing of public
documents.
MR. CLEVELAND has reconsidered
and will take # a second term The
people may also reconsider the ques
tion and won't give it to him.
THE weather here comes in "great
variety," and cannot be said to be
"without variableness or shadow of
turning."
THERE is a great deal of talk theee
days about Mr. Cleveland's health.
The President is all right, but his
party is very sick—of him.
RANDALL'S district is to be saved
for him. From this we judge that
certain of our leaders think a poor
Democrat is better than a good Re
publican.
THE Coercion bill in the British
Parliament abolishes trials by jury
for the Irish tenants, and provides for
a change to England for trial of of
fences committed in Ireland.
THE Billingsley bill should pass the
Legislature, if for no other reason
than to curb the "Standard Oil Com
* pan y, and teach.it that the people,
through its Representatives, are i's
t • master.
A CITIZEN whose duties require
him to be out through this town
during the night states that since
license has been granted he notices a
visible increase of drunken men on the
| streets.
GIVING np a railroad pass is truly
»real hardship. Only imagine the
expense and trouble members of the
Legislature and all others will have
now in buying tickets. They will
likely travel less.
THE easy-going Illinois supreme
court will render its decision in the
Anarchist cases about next Septem
ber. This will give the sentimen
talists a chance to pile up sympathy
moantains high.
PRESIDENT ROTH,of Thiel College,
* preached in the English Lutheran
L of this place on Sunday
f" morning last, fie was on his way to
Prospect to attend the funeral of Mr.
B. F. Lepley:
IN New York it costs less when a
railroad company kills a man than
when it only criples him, as has re
cently been demonstrated. The wife
of the dead man received $5,000;
one who had his leg cat off was
awarded $15,000.
TNE lot of the average newspaper
man in Texas is not a happy one.
A reporter who too freely criticised
the doings of the legislature has been
I locked up.- If this principle was ap
plied to such tbiugs in Pennsylvania,
there would be mighty lew newspa
per men at liberty.
ELECTIONS were held in several
western cities this week with, varied
results. In Chicago the Republicans
elected their Mayor by near 28,000,
* over the Socialist and Labor candi
date. In Cleveland the Democrats
succeeded, and in Keo\uk, Icwa, the
Labor candidates were elected.
THE high license bill under consid
eration at Harrisburg was last week
amended by fixing the rate in the
cities of the first, second and third
classes (including Philadelphia.
Pittsburg and Allegheny, the three
largest citieß in the State), at $500;
in other cities, $300; boroughs, $150;
and townships $75. The vote in fa
vor of the amendment was yeas 118,
nays 61. The bill wilf probably pass
in this shape.
THE people of Saxonburg, this I
county, may experience the fate of!
the frogs in the fable. The frogs pe- j
titioned for a King, and when one |
was sent them, in the person of a
stork, that monarch set about to eat
them up, The people of the village
of Saxonburg petitioned the Court to
grant them licenses for three hotels',
and the Court took them at their
word and granted them. Now the
fear is that they may be eaten up and
consumed, a3 were the discontented
frogs who wished for new rulers. But

Republican Primary.—Jane 4-
The Republican County Commit
tee, at its meeting on Moi'day last,
fixed Saturday, Juae 4. a» the date
for holding the Republican Primary
Election in this county.
The date fixed is the usual one and
gives general satisfaction to the can
didates and their friends.
Blaine's Trip.
The Hon. James (1. Blaine is now
on a western trip, as far west rvs Fort
"Wichita,lndian Territory. A daugh
ter, Mrs. Lieut. Col. Coppinger, of
the IT. S. Army, rehides there with
her husband and she bad been prom
ised a visit from her father f.<r some
time back. On his way he stopped at
St. Louis and was accorded a royal
reception.
But he rasolutely refuses to talk
politics or make any speeches, and
declines all attempts to engage him
in conversation about the Presiden
tial election of 1888. The trip will
occupy aboat twenty days.
Licenses Granted.
The Court last Monday granted 17
oat of 38 applications for license in
this county. Among the seventeen are
5 for Butler, all hotels. While the
action of the Court might have been
much worse, yet the disappointment :
and regret in this community are,
qnite manifest. Here we had been ;
living for the whole past year with
out license and no ftranger or traveler j
had been refused food or lodging, or i
failed to be taken in and provided
for. To give the right now to sell j
them intoxicating drinks would seem |
to say that that accommodation was
not only more "neceesary" for their
c omfoit than all others, but was in
fact the controlling matter under the
law. But it was supposed the recent
decision of the Supreme Court, made
on the law of 1867, had settled the
question and relieved the lower
Courts from any difficulty in the mat
ter. If it was a decision by the Su
preme Court—and it certainly looks
that way—then the question was set
tled. But different Judges put differ
ent constructions on what the Su
preme Court has said, Judge Hazen
evidently thinksjwith those who say
the Supreme Court did not decide to
the extent claimed. And whatever
our private views may be, or what
ever the indignation that may be
aroused by the action of any Court in
this or any other matter, it is for the
safety and the interest of society that
the decisions of all Courts be respect
ed. They decide according to their
views of the law. In th® present
matter it has been known and admit
ted all along that the law itself was
wrong and should be either repealed
or changed. The remedy is coming,
and will be made by the people them
selves. In the meantime it is hoped
this community will not suffer from
the abuse of liquor. Less than a
year will demonstrate the effect of the
licenses now granted. The business
coming before the Court may also
show the result. And in the mean
time, as we say, the decisions of
Courts are to be respected and the
majesty of the law upheld, even
where it is wrong, and until it is
changed. %
Michigan Votes on Prohibition.
DETROIT, MICH., April s.—This
has been a day of intense political ex
citement throughout the State. At
4 o'clock this morning it was learned
that the prohibition amendment had
not been carried. When the people
who had been up to nearly that hour,
and who bad gone home confident
that the amendment had carried, came
down town this morning they were
astounded to learn the truth, The
Prohibitionists claimed that fraud
had been to work since they went to
bed, and accused the opponents of the
measure of manipulating the ballots.
Thifi afternoon specific charges were
formulated, but not made public. The
amendment was lost by about 8,000
and the Prohibitionists claim that
fully 10,000 votes were stolen from
them in the liquor cities. Detroit's
majority against the amendment was
nearly 20,000 and was alone more
than enough to offset the heavy
amendment vote polled in the rural
districts.
Chairman Dickie claims the State
Republican to-night by 13,000, but
the returns show that the amendment
was lost, although the gains coming
in will reduce the adverse majority to
a mere nominal figure. The defeat is
really a victory for prohibition. The
fight will next lie made on the Legis
lature. The amendment will again
be submitted to the people and the
contest continued until a decisive re
sult is reached. In the meantime bid
good-bye to the political tranquility of
Michigan and settled values in the
liquor business.
Mid-night. The later figures cut
down the vote against the prohibition
amendment so that it will be less than
5,000. The T'ribune claims a major
ity on the Republican State ticket of
from 10,000 to 12,000, and the Free
Press concedes 7,000.

GAS AT BEAVER.
A Heavy Bond Required Before
Pipes are Laid in the Borough.
BEAVER, April 2—A very quiet
but quite interesting bearing occurred
in the private office of Judge Wick
ham here to day. The Judge was
called upon to pass upon whether or
not the Citizens' Gas Company shall
give an indemnity bjud of SSOO or
one of $5 000 to the Rochester Tum
bler Works before laying its high
pressure line through the company's
property. The matter was brought
to a head by H. C. Fry, General Su
perintendent of the tumbler company,
asking judicial intervention. Yester
day afternoon the gas company's
trench diggers attempted to go into a
piece of ground near the works to con
tinue the trench digging. They were
told not to 3trike a pick until the tum
bler company was properly secured
against any possible damage. The
Superintendent of the gas company
went to the office of the tumbler works
and asked why his men had been
stopped. He was told, whereupon he
said he would give a bond for SSOO.
This the tumbler company relused
aud asked that it be made $5,000.
The gas people, declined to accede j
to this request and the matter thus :
rested until to-day. At 10 o'clock
this forenoon representatives of both |
companies, with their attorneys, a P" >
peared before Juilge Wickham ani?|
laid the matter before him. The j
Judge decided that, it was asking j
nothing out of the way in requiring j
the gas company to file a bond ot in- |
demnity to the tumbler company in j
the sum of $5,000, a3 the company
has valuable property near where it is
proposed the new line Jshall run, and
SSOO would not be heavy enough a
bond.
The borough authorities at Roches
ter have also been on the lookout for
the company's men to-day to prevent
them from tearing up the streets ol
the borough, The right of way has
been given, but the company has not
yet filed its bond for the town either
In view of the turn affairs took before
the Judge this afternoon it is highly
probable that the bond to the borough
will be filed at once.
TONS OF PASSOVER* BREAD
Hebrews of Pittsburg Will Eat
35,000 Pounds of it.
Great preparations are already be
ing made amodg the Hebrews of the
city for the celebration of the Feast
of the Passover. The usual orders for
the unleaveued bread which is eaten
during this time have been largely
sent. away. The principal cities iu
the United States which supply the
Hebrew population with their Pass
over bread are Cleveland, Chicago
and Cincinnati. There are bakeries
in these citiee that are conducted by
Hebrews and it is only from these
that ihe orthodox Jew will get his
bread. The orthodox considers the
bread defiled if made bv a Gentile or
made along with other things. The
reformed and unorthodox Hebrew,
however, is not so particular, and
while he yet holds on to the old cus
tom of eating this bread during the
celebration of Passover, he neverthe
less does not object to having it made
by a Christian baker. An approxi
mate estimate of the bread comin b in
to Pittsburg during next week, calcu
lating that the average family will
use about 50 pouocte during the week,
will be not le6s than 35,000 pounds

On the Action of the Court
Glinting License in
this County.
At a meeting of the Woman's
Christian Temperance I'uion, Tues
day April sth, ISB7, the following
resolutions were unanimously adopt
ed :
WHEREAS, The Court of Quarter I
Sessions of Butler County, IU the >
matter pertaining to the granting of
lieense to sell intoxicating liquors, :
has seen Jit iu its decision to utterly |
disregard and ignore the wishes and ;
testimony of a large majority of the
best citizens of this couuty ; and in
the face of the improved condition of
affairs during the past year, and in
avowed contempt for the dictum of
the Supreme Court, in the exercise of
a purely arbitrary discretion, and, in
many cases in spite of the clearest
evidence as to the unfitness of the
applicant, has granted to seventeen
men the authority to sell intoxicating
drinks, without assigning a reasou,
Therefore be it
Resolved, Ist. That as members of
the Woman's Christian Temperance
Union, and on behalf of more than
5,000 remonstrants who represent the
law abiding, temperance christian
seDtiment of this county, we hereby
enter our protest against this Wgh
handed judicial outrage
Resolved, 2d. That we hereby give
notice, that we will not appear again
before this Court, as remonstrants, so
long as the present Judge occupies
the bench, and that we will hold the
Judge responsible for the evils and
crimes that will inevitably result
from the licensing of the sale of in
toxicating drinks
Resolved, 3d. That we express
our heartfelt sympathy with the men
who having been enabled during the
past year to overcome the appetite
for strong drink, are again exposed
to the tempter in the form cf the
open saloon ; and with the wives and
mothers to whom the. news of the
Court's strange act has brought heavy
hearts and tear-fiiled eyes.
Resolved, 4th. That in the face
of this mysterious action of the
Court, we pledge ourselves to re
newed effort in every line of the cause
so dear to us, and avow our intensi
fied and undying hostility to every
form of the legalized liquor traffic.
Resolved, sth. That our sincere
and heart-felt thanks are due, and
are hereby tendered to our attorneys
for their faithful and conscientious
labors on our behalf; and we express
our unbounded confidence in their
ability, as evidenced by the skillful
manner in which they conducted our
case.
Resolved, 6th, That we request
the newspapers of the county to pub
lish these resolutions in connection
with a detailed statement of the num
ber and character of the remonstrants
whose wishes have been so arbitrarily
disregarded.

third floor to the ba?emtsnt, a distance ]
of something over eighty feet. When I

, lyn
Dr Saxe. whose humorous writings
•rave him an international reputation,
was a native of Highgate, Vt , and
was uearly seventv one years old,
having passed his three score and ten
'last June In his earlier days he
practiced law. but drifted into journal
ism and for five years conducted a
daily newspaper at Barl'ugton, \t
He gravitated into politics and 18n6
found him State's Attorney of Yir
aiout. lie was the unsuccessful
Democratic candidate for Governor of
that Whig and Republican Gibraltar
in 1859 aLd iB6O Away back in j
those days he bed a wide popularity
as a lecturer ar.d poet, most of bis
work partaking of a quuint humor that
mede them pleasant reading and
found for many i f his writings a place
iu tte school readers of twenty years I
ago aud many of the standard pubii
eatious of that day. He was satiri
1 eal without bitterness, aud the pun
gency that pervaded nearly every
thiug he wrote made the product ot j
his pen alike wholesome aud refresh-J
i iug Among bis published writings
i of the best known are "Progress," a
satire; written thirty years ago; the;
'New Rape of the Lock," the ' Money ,
! Kiug," "Fables and L geuds in '
Rhyme," "Leisure Day Rhymes,'';
"The Masquerade" and many others
j equally popular.
Let the Law Pass.
There is bili now before the
' Legislature making it an offense, pun (
1 isbable by fine aud imprisonment, for j
j any person to solicit a subscription, j
1 for any purpose, from a candidate foi '
j ...flic •. The law prohibiting candidates 1
; froiu purchasing votes is right and j
| proper, but the candidates have a right j
|of protection as well. The evil
assumed large proportions ia this
couuty aud no sooner does a man an
nounce himself as a candidate for of
tice than he is pouneed upou by a lot
of sharks who rob him in the name ot
religion or charity. A church is to
build a church organ is to be pur
chased. or a church debl to be liquid
ated, a brass band wants new T instru
ments or some m in has lost a barn by
fire; al! these and many other similar
cases, are brought into play to fleece
the poor candidate. And be most
either "stand and deliver" or run the
ri.sk of being called a fellow and
being "cut" at the election. It would
be more honorable to way-lay the can
didate, knock him down and take bis
money than to rob him in the name of
religion. Let the law pass.
