On* of the most unexpected events
in Railroad affairs is the embarrass
ment of the great Baltimore and
Ohio line. It has passed into the
hands of a company of monied men,
and virtually under the control of the
Pennsylvania Railroad CompaDy,
and will no longer be a competing
line to the Pennsylvania. Since the
deatfi of the elder Garrett, its Presi
dent, his son, who scceeded him, has
been trying to reach New York City
over tbe beads of the Penna. Co , at
■o great a cost as to finally swamp
bis road. He is traveling in Europe,
and seems to have none of the ability
of the father in Railroading.
Under the Ordeal.
A new thing has been going on in
the Courts as Pittsburgh this week.
Allegheny county for some years
past bas, by a special law, been
granting licensee, through a license
board, of certain officials. Now, un
der tbe new Brooks high license law,
Allegheny county licenses have to be
granted by the Courts, the same as
in this and other counties. And
hence tbe applicants have to undergo
tbe ordeal of passing through the
Courts. This process is what has
been going on in Pittsburgh this
week, with decidedly interesting fea
tures. There, as here, the ladie3 and
principal citizens are in the front op
posing tbe granting of licenses, and
from present appearances it is
thought that Judges Ewing and
White will grant no licenses or as
few as they possibly can. Nearly all
tbe applicants when asked, had to ad
mit they sold upon Sunday. But the
controlling point made against tbe
many saloons and taverns was that
they were not necessary for the pub
lic. Tbe bondsmen of tbe applicants
were closely scrutinized and many re
jected as such. Pittsburgh will not
have as many drinking bolus here
after.
Black Diphtheria's Ravages.
Pittsburg, Sept. 2 —An epidemic
of black diphtheria is raging at
Lockport, Pa., a small town of two
hundred inhabitants, situated on the
Pennsylvania railroad, about sixty
miles east of this city. Nearly half
of tbe population are down with the
disease and thirteen deaths have oc
eured witbin tbe laßt five days. Re
cently an old viaduct which formed
part of tbe Btate canal was destroyed
by dynamite at tbat point, leaving
stagnant pools of water, it is believ
ed caused the epidemic. Tbe vic
tims are seized with black vomit and
■aually die in two or three days.
Another TarilT 'Straddle.'
The tariff question, since our earli
est recollection, has been a disturbing
and perplexing one in the Demo
cratic party. In slavery times the
South was opposed to a
protective tariff, as not need-1
ed to protect its slave labor.
The South dominated in the party
in those days But Pennsylvania
has always been a protective tarifl j
State, and hence her Democracy has .
often come in conflict with not only ;
the South but with the Democracy j
generally of the other States Ihe
same may be said with nearly the
same truth at this day, as witness the
recent struggle on the question in
their party last week, in State Con
vention at Allentowu. The same
old question, protection, i 3 still at
the bottom. And the contest was as
to which should control, the Cleve- i
land-Carlisle faction, or tha Randall
one. Mr. Randall is a leading Dem
ocrat of Pennsylvania. He has been
kept in Congress mainly by Republi
cans providing a district for him
in which he could be elected. Tbis be
cause of his tariff views being similar
generally with those of the Republi
cans. He has opposed his party in
Congress and aided to de
feat it in lowering the
present tariff rates upon foreign
imports. He prefers to lower or take
off the tariff or tax on whiskey and
tobacco, rather than on foreign im
ports. in order to reduce the growing
surplus in the Treasury. But the
party outside of Pennsylvania say
no, and that the reduction of the sur
plus must be brought about by a re
duction of the rates upon foreign im
ports. This was the issue between
the two wings of the party in this
State at their recent Convention,
Randall beading one and Congress
man Scott heading the other and
speaking for Cleveland's Administra
tion. How was the matter settled?
Precisely as of old. A compromise
and a "straddle." They agreed to
reduce on both internal revenue
(whiskey and tobacco) and on im
ports. This is what they say in ef
fect: "beyoad the current needs of
the Government the surplus should
be reduced by a reduction of internal
taxation and of duties on imports."
Now these propositions are in direct
conflict. For if we reduce the reve
nues by reducing ''internal taxes,"
then we need not reduce the taxes on
"imports." And one wing, Randall
& Co., haye been urging the reduc
tion of internal taxes in order to pre
vent the other, that on "imports,"
And the other wiDg, Scott & Co,
have been opposing a reduction of in
ternal taxes in order to make necessa
ry a redaction on "foreign imports."
So here is where the "straddle" be
came necessary. Both were inserted
in their platform and mean nothing.
And it wilk be observed that only
"the needs of the Government" is re
ferred to. The idea of protection to
labor, or to our industries, does not
come in at all—is not mentioned—
but only to reduce the revenue s to
the "needs of the Government."
Thus the party in this State is clearly
outside of the protective principle.
They care nothing for it. They are
looking only to the surplus in the
Treasury and quarreling as to what
to cut down the most to reduce said
alleged surplus, which can well be
applied to public buildings, pensions
and other National objects.
As far back aa the Presidential
election of 1844 the Democratic coin
paign song in Pennsylvania was,
"Polk, Dallas, Sbunk and the Tariff
of 1842". The "tariff of 1842," was
i Republican or Whig law passed
Lhen, and passed to raise the country
from the deep depression and hard
times that brought about the over
throw of the Democrats and the elec
tion of General Harrison as Presi
dent in the celebrated campaign of
1840. Polk and Dallas were their
candidates '.for President and Vice
President in 1844, and Shunk for tha 1
of Governor. The country had so
suffered from low tariffs as to pro
duce a revolution in politics, in 1840,
and put the Whigs in power, the result
of which was the passage of the tariff
of 1842. It was popular and working
well, doing great good. Ilence the
Democrats dared not oppose it in
Pennsylvania in 1844. But outside
of Pennsylvania they did—and when
they came back to power through
the election of 1844, they repealed
the tariff of 1842, Dallas, .Vice Presi
dent and Pennsylvauian, giving the
casting vote to repeal it. This ac
tion, more than anything else, caused
them to lose Pennsylvania and the
confidence of her people. And ever
Bince they have been playing "fast
and loose" on the tariff question, the
latest exhibition of which being at
their State Convention at Allentown
last week. _

COMMUNICATIONS.
Birthday Party.
MESSRS. EDITORS: —It was the
writer's great pleasure to be present
at one of those social gatherings of
the good people (becoming so general
in our county) to celebrate the t»4th
anniversarv of the birth of one of
their number, viz: Mr. Isaac Donald
son, of West Sunbury, on last Satur
day, Sept. 3 The citizens and neigh
bors convened to quite a large num
ber with well filled baskets, from
which a long table was well supplied
with the good things of the land,
which, by tbe way, the good ladies
of that section know so well how to
prepare.
Dinner being announced the meet
ing was called to order and Mr. l\iph
rairn Rossell called to the chair; tbe
writer being called as Secretary.
The orginization being effected, the
Chairmau, Mr. Russell, announced
that all should proceed to the table
and partake of the good things placed
thereon.
Dinner being over the meeting was
calkd to order by the Chairman, and
Mr. Harper responded to the call for a
song by rendering "The Star Spang
led Banner." Prayer was then offer
ed by Rev. Marshall,when the Chair
man announced that there were a
number of presents to be given, and
Rev. Feidler, was called upon to
make the presentation speech.
Among tbe presents offered were two
good and comfortable rockers to Mr.
and Mrs. Donaldson by their near
neighbors of the town and vicinity.
Also numerous other articles of val
ue, and no doubt useful, which the
writer did not see.
Another song by Mr. Harper when
Mr Donaldson was called on for a
response. He replied in a lew words
of thanks to his numerous friends for
many tokens of respect and esteem
to himself and Mrs, Donaldson. The
meeting then adjourned and all pro
ceeded to eDjoy themselves in their
own way or disperse to their respec
tive homes, having enjoyed them
selves well, and felling that they had
left one pair of hearts happier who
will rejoice at the thought of the day
and hold in cherished remembrance
the dear friends, neighbors and rela
tives that met to show their good
will and esteem of a worthy couple.
A. P. S.
Smith Reunion.
The ninth reunion of the Smith
family was held at the residence of
John Smith, Esq , near Gomersal,
Butler county, Pa , on Wednesday,
Aug. 3lat.
It was a pleasant day, long to be
remembered. A large booth and
stand had been erected near the fam
ily mansion. An organ was on the
stand and Prof. Cyru3 Harper and
the Smith ladies furnished music for
the occasion.
A table, seventy live feet long,
bore up the choice products of the
Smith kitchen. At this table were
feasted about five hundred of the
Smith family and their friends.
Nearly two hundred horses were
fed and cared fur. The generosity,
hospitality and kindness were large
enough to embrace all humanity.
Friend and foe were alike bidden to
eat, drink and be merry, for this is
the Smith family
Mr. Ilutchison being absent at the
funeral of Mr. McDeavitt, the address
of welcome was delivered by Simeon
Nixon, who said ho was always ready
and proud to eat of the best cake at a
family reunion, for it was hallowed
bread. The family meeting is not an
artificial meeting, not the meeting of
a demagogue for selfish purposes, but
it is a meeting that has its origin in
uature. It is the product of the high
est and noblest emotions and affec
tions of our nature. And to such
meetings as this, to cultivate family
pride and individual honor, we look
for a reformation in our civil govern
ment. Give me Gold and I can buy
the Legislature, tho Governor, the
jurv in the box and the Judge on the
bench. I can buy everything but
the child from the mother's breast;
and on that mother's knee we must
teach that family pride and individ
ual honor that will neither do wrontj
nor submit to wrong. The good
mothers of the Smith family are here.
| They boast of no loyal blood, but
their motto i?: "Better bo poor than
to be mean." Their dig of family
j honor still fbats above this table.
I The delicacies that cover it are the
! fruits of manly toil.
| In behall of the Smith family the
i speaker cordially welcomed all to eat
| of the bread of honest labor, human
kindness and family affection.
After bleasiDg by Ilev. Fish, the
multitude were fed a:id the fragments
packed for the laborers' picnic next
day.
Wm. G.Smith, historian, gave the
history of the family. The first
Smith was a blacksmith, and made a
hoe for his son John. In the year
1794 John came to Butler county
and settled on Boar Creek. He
moved afterward to Slipperyrock
lie brought the old hoe along. The
land on which we stand has always
belonged to John Smith from gener
ation to generation. O.KJ Smith
tried to keep bachelor's distress here
liutthe wolves drove him away.
In union there is btrength as we
meet from yi-ar to year to honor our
fathers and mothers. Let ua be true
to the right and true to each other.
An essay was read by Miss McCoy,
"Brother be kind to Sister." It was
in place and very good John T.
Smith, of Mercer county, made a
good speech.
Ilev. Fish made a few appropriate
remarks in reply to addresses of wel
come.
The bint performance of the dny
wan a recitation by Miss Anuiu
Thompson, "Labor for Others."
"Keep ou the Itoad" and "A Kiss
Over the Garden Wall" were well
rendered by Prof. Harper. Chas Kerr,
in the course of his roma ks, said
John Smith had always been a friend
to the poor, and in his ho had
been a father to the fulherlex«.
The officers of the next reunion
and the time aud pla;e of meeting,
amid the good byes of'a happy crowd,
were not noted by your correspon
dent.
A FRIEND.
A Word from a G. A. R. Man.
EDITORS CITIZEN —In the Herald
of last week there appears one of
those contemptible, fain: statements
that have been going the rounds of
certain papers for sometime in refer
ence to the Grand Army, that are be
coming a little monotonous. The al
legatiou is that "the G. A. It. is used
to advance the interests of eartain
political candidates, aud because
there was noting of that kind to ba
done, Gov. lieaver did not attend the
soldier reunion recently held at Oil
City, Pa." Now, generally, the sen
ior editor of the Herald is fair in his
statements, and as he was away last
week we conclude the article got into
hispaper without his knowledge,and is
the work of some underlings about the
establishment but is none the less
false.
The G. A. R is composed of hon- j
orably discharged soldiers of the war j
to preserve the Union from secession ,
and rebellion, and whose friendship
for one another was welded in the
hardships of soldier life and in the
Gerce and terrifiic Sre of battle, and
no soldier worthy to belong to the
Grand Army, when be takes a com
rade by the hand, thinks of asking
are von a Democrat?"or"Republican,
Greenbacker?" or "Prohibitionist?"
All he wants to know is, "did he do
his duty well and was he honorably
discharged from the service?" With
these two questions answered satis
factorily, a bond of friendship at once
exists between them only known to
those who shared the hardships, priv
vations of and horrors of a soldier's
life in active service, and because
these men, who offered their lives to
their country, if need be, for her sal
vation, form their G, A. R. posts to
perpetuate the memories and friend
ships of long ago, then these little
souls, these narrow-minded ninnies,
such as the scribbler in the Herald
of the 2nd, inst,_must resort to false
hood to raise suspicion about, and
bring reproach upon the G. A. R.
The G. A. R desires the scribbler
in the Herald, and every other small
fry politician, or large fry either, to
i understand once and for all that the
G - A. R. is not a political body. It
j 13 composed of Democrats, Republi
cans, Prohibitonists and Labor party
men aud is not going to be used
by the Democrats, Republcaus or
any other party for political purposes.
Thev are meu who know their rights
as individuals, and if insulted by a
penuy-a-liner, such as the Herald ap
pears to havee about it, or the Presi
dent of the U. S., they will resent
it and let them know that as
citzens they will maintain
their rights, do matter how much
partisan papers may howl and rave.
The Herald would stand much high
er in esteem of all fair-minded people
if such bare-faced lalsehooods were
kept out of its columns. For the fu
ture consign 6uch stuil to the waste
basket is the advice of a—
G. A. R. MAN.

year, and a copy of its charter, may

day and its duiugs to some future
generation and give scraps of local
history to decendanta that will be
highly prized.
The weather on the occasion was
fine, the audience very complimentary
in its marked attentiveness through
out the services, and the good people
of Pctersville were lavish in their
kindness as hosts to their guests from
abroad. The occasion will loug be
pleasantly remembered by those who
were there. X.

ger, near Thorn Creak, Penn twp., Sept
2d, 1887, Mrs. Anna Mary West, widow of
the late Michael Went of Prospect, aged 04
years, 7 mouths and 0 days.
"Mrs. West is dead," passed from tongue to
tcngue in our family, as the sad news reach
ed us, and no doubt ilso from borne to home
in the community where she lived, which
was manifested bv the large number of peo
ple which attended her funeral. The large
commodious church was filled to its utmost
capacity. 01' her Christian life, of her godly
walk and conversation, it is impossible here
to write in detail. Her life was an "eloquent
sermon." Upon the words in holy writ,
"But to do X'>od and to communicate forget
not," she looked upon not as a sacred duty
but also as a blessed privilege.
About four weeks previous to her death
she told litr pastor, that she would come to
him in But.'er, and go from there to Frank
lin to visit some friends, aud she added, "and
that will be my last trip;" and so indeed it
was-, for on her return to Butler she desired
tovi-iithe i hove named family where she
died. At the end of her trip she reached not
only her earthly but entered into her heaven
ly Mouie.
The pastor, assisted by tha He v. Durst of
the Ei;g!ifh Lutheran t'huich at Prospect,
preached thi funeral seinioa, based oil Psalm
3'j, 12. C. A. LIMIihRG.

Beware of Scrofula
Scrofula Is probably more general than any
other disease. It is Insidious In character,
and manifests itself In running sores, pustular
eruptions, bolls, swellings, enlarged Joints,
abscesses, sore eyes, etc. Hood's Sarsaparllla
expels all trace of scrofula from the blood,
leaving it pure, enriched, and healthy.
" I was severely afflicted with scrofula, and
over a year had two running sores on my neck.
Took five bottles Hood's Sarsaparllla, and am
cured." C. E. LOVKJOY, Lowell, Mass.
C. A. Arnold, Arnold, Me., had scrofulous
sores for seven years, spring aud fall. Hood's
Sarsaparllla cured him.
Salt Rheum
Is one of the most dlsagreeablo diseases caused
by Impure blood. 11 is readily cured by Hood's
Sarsaparllla, the great blood purifier.
William Spies, Elyrla, 0., suffered greatly
from erysipelas and salt rheum, caused by
handling tobacco. At times his hands would
crack open and bleed. He tried various prep
arations without aid; finally took Hood's Sar
saparilla, and now says:" lam entirely well."
"My son had salt rheum oil his band* and
on tho calves of his legs. Ho took Hood's
Sarsaparllla and Is entirely cured." J. B.

Boot and Shoe sale
—OF —
Fall 1 Winter Footwear
—AT —
B. C. Huselton's.
oooooooo—i—oooooooo
Our great fall and winter sale of ..Boots and Shoes has
begun, the people of Butler county never saw such an im
mense stock of all kinds, shapes, !-izes and styles in any
one house in Butler county, as we are now showing they
can't be matched in Butler county. They are worth com
ing 25 miles to see and 50 miles to buy. Our trade in
creased largely last season and we intend to sell more
Boots and Shoes this season than last. This has Mar
ranted us in placing the largest and greatest variety, the
best values for your careful inspection that has ever
been shown in any house in Butler county. Our Mens',
Boys' and Child reus' Boots have been speaking for them
selves all over the county. Our boot trade is immense,
and why? Because we sell the best goods at the least
money, we sell to everybody alike, no three or four prices,
we don't say like some dealers do that a cheap boot will
resist water, or that an Oil Goat Shoe will do for children
to go to school, to catchjtrade. There never was an Oil
Goat Shoe made that would resist snow water, it takes
the best of leather to do it—Calf-skin won't do it, hasn't
the body to resist. What will? Nothing but the very
best of Kip and that we have as you all know. We have
the cheap goods too in Mens' at $1.40 and upwards,
Boys' Si-25 and upwards. Youths'7s cts., and Childrens'
50 cts., and upwards, will say these are the best cheap
boots in the market—not auction goods either, but straight
goods. Our Kip Boots are the choicest makes in the
market, have tested their wearing qualities for years and
know what I am saying when I tell a customer they are
all right, we don't guarantee cheap boots as some dealers
do to resist water, we think to much of our reputation as
a square dealing house and too much of our customers
to knowingly impose on them in this way. We keep
Wool Boots the best and warmest boot made for extreme
cold weather at low prices. Oil mens' high top boots
four soles with square box and without. Make a specialty
of mens' best Kip and Calf Boots in low instep.
Our line of Ladies'Misses'and Childrens' Fine Shoes
contains the best styles in French Kid, Curacoa Kid,
Dongolia, Pebble Goat all widths from A A to EE,
Waukenphast, Common Sense .aid Opera lasts. No one
should fail to see these goods. Will especially call 3 our
attention to our Ladies' tine Kid and Pebble Goat button
boot, a new thing witli us at 81 50, best, style best value
you ever saw for the money, better than is sold else
wherd at $2 00, very stylish and will wear, selling won
derfully fast, one large lot sold already this fall and now
have a large duplicate order in the factory. See our
Grain Button at 85 cts, SI.OO and $1.25, our fine Kid
or Goat Si 25, our old Ladies', flannel lined Shoes and
Slippers, felt shoes with telt soles, old Ladies' wide grain
and goat Shoes, all these styles kept in Misses' and
Childrens* Shoes at prices in proportion.
We make a specialty in Misses and Childrens'spring
heel shoes, high cut shoes in Calf, Goat and Grain.
MENS'AND BOYS' FINE SHOES.—Wo have Ihtse goods
made expressly for our trade, of !•"reach Calf, Kangaroo, Coif and Eng
lish Grain leather, hand, machine and standard, in wide, plain or nar
row toes, with tips, perfect fit, ease aDd comfort guaranteed to the
