Voters should remember that all who did not pay a tax last year most pay one this year, in order to qualify them for voting at the coming elec tion, November 8. This tax must be paid thirty days previous to an election, making it necessary to pay this year on or by next Saturday, October 8. The above applies to those who voted upon age last year as well as to others. —A nation's industry is its wealth. Destroy that and it is poor indeed. Oor laws should give the same protection to the citizens in their occu pations as in their persons. —That policy which gives work at fair wages is the true one, and that is the policy of the Republican party. —Special attention of those inter ested is directed to the notice of the W O. T. U., in another place. — —A*party that would not only re duce a man's wages but cut off bis opportunities for employment, is not a poor man's party. Judge Stowi, of Pittsburgh, has affirmed tbe constitutionality of the High License law, in a case brought before him to test that question. —lt may be laid down as an ax iom that protection is a practical fact, and fire* trade a theory. Those na tions only who have no trade are benefitted by free' trade. —Whatever makes a demand for home productions makes an equal de mand for home labor. Open your ports for the productions of low pric ed labor from abroad and you make ours a market for foreign goods at tbe expense of our own. —lnstead of establishing monopo lies •- protective standard of duties tends to destroy foreign monopoly fostering home competition. It is akin to that personal protection which is the foundation of govern ment, for it defends the weak agaiaßt the strong, and cares for our own peo ple in preference to others. THE Daily Oil News, is a new paper jnst established at Bradford, Pa„ in the interest of the oil produ cers, by McMullen and Bradshaw. Its first number gives evidence of its ability to cope with the old enemy, tbe Standard crowd. Such a paper was needed by the producers. —No country can profit as much by diversified industry as ours, for no country has such varied advantages and natural resources. To develop tbem is the duty our government, and to do this we must train our skill and make a home market for its pro ducts. Hence the settled policy of our party has been and is to protect home industries by the exculsion of what would destroy them. —The 13th Annual Convention of the Women's Christian Temperance Union of this State will be held at Lewisburg, on the Weßt Branch of tbe Susqnehanna river, on October 12, 13 and 14. The nnmber of Unions have increased in the State during the past year, and this is ex pected to be the largest State conven tion yet held. Associate Judges May Refuse. The Supreme Court at Pittsburgh last Monday handed down an opinion, sustaining the power of Associate Judges to refuse the granting of li cense, notwithstanding the President Judge may have decided to grant. Tbe case was taken to the Supreme Court from Huntingdon county, where the Associates overruled tbe decision of tbe President Judge who granted licenses. The Supreme Court say tbe Associate Judges of a County bave tbe right and power to do so and sustained their action in Huntingdon county in tbe matter. Tribute to Justice Mercur. When tbe Supreme Court of this State met at Pittsburgh last Monday action was immediately taken on the death of tbe late Chief Justice Mer cur. Ex. Chief Justice Agnew made tbe announcmeut to the Court of the death of Justice Mercur, and paid a feeling and impressive tribute to his memory. The present Chief Justice. Gordon, replied on behalf of tbe Court. Remarks were also made by Judges Ewing and Stowe, A M. Brown, Esq., and other Attorneys of Pittsburgh, and by a number present from surrounding counties. A mem orial tribute was also prepared and read by a committee appointed for that purpose. Conferree Business Must Go. In almost every section of this State wo notice efforts being made to get clear of the old conferree system of nominating district candidates. In the new district for Congress of Crawford and Erie counties, a change to the popular vote system has already been made. Committees by each county and have already made metand made above change. This will likely be the means of regaining a Republican Congressman up there. Crawford may be congratulated on being freed from the old conferree business. But other Congressional and Sena torial districts ueed the change as well. And in none perhaps more than in this Senate district, as well as the new Congressional district. P rom the action in the other dis tricts it is evident they don't consider it too soon to act in this matter, but have taken early action in order to more certainly secnre the impor tant object in view. The Democrats in some districts of the State and also moving for a change in nominating. Over in the Fayette and Greene district they are trying to get away from the confer ree system in all district nominations. The Republicans of the new Wash ington county Congressional district are also moving for a change from tha conferree to the popular vote sys tem. Government Revenues. Those who oppose a protective tar iff assert that a reduction in tariff rates will cause a corresponding change in government receipts, and in this way an unhealthy surplus in the national treasury would be prevented. Common sense teaches that the re verse would be the result, for a low er tariff in most caseß, would simply stimulate importations, and increase the revenue instead of diminishing it. While the industries of the country would suffer complete or partial paral ysis, no good would be accomplish ed in any direction except in giving employment to laborers in foreign countries at the expense of American workmen. The moderate reduction in the tariff proposed by Carlisle and other Democratic leaders, for the pur pose of averting the dangers of a sur plus. would thus have exactly the op posite effect, it is with this sort of sophistry that the friends of free trade hope to deceive the people, and obtain a power that will enable them to legislate to that end. The only way to prevent such a catastrophe is to prevent Democratic control, for it has given sufficient evidence that once in possession of complete power, it will make haste to carry out the pernicious and destructive theories which are certain to bring business depression and financial ruin. The way to prevent this is to vote for tLe Republican candidates,and thus insure the triumph of the principle of pro protection. The Republican party can be trusted to administer the govern ment in all its departments; it can prevent the dire results which are predicted in regard to the surplus, without allowing so suicidal a policy as the overthrow of American indus tries. The lo3rd Regiment. As much has been written and said regarding other regiments from Western Pennsylvania in the late war, we give the below relative to the 103 rd Regiment, partly recruited from Butler county, and in which was the company of Captain Samuel Martin, of Summit tp., deceased. We copy from a "Regimental Ros te," as published in the Pittsburg Dis patch of last Tuesday : "The One- Hundred and Third Regiment was re, cruited in the counties of Armstrong- Allegheny, Butler, Clarion and In diana, fall of 1861. In Febru ary, 1862, it was ordered to Harris burg, where Colonel Theodore F. Lehman was chosen to command it. It was soon afterward ordered to Washington, and its first engage ments were those of the Peninsula. At the close of the Peninsular cam paign tbe regiment had lost by cas ultias and sickness nearly half of its its original number. It afterward participated ia the campaigns in North Carolina under General Wes sells. At Plymouth, after a gallant fight, the regiment surrendered to the enemy on the 20th of April, 1864. There were at the time about 400 in rank and file, and these were ail sent to rebel prisons and died by scores. Of the men who entered the Andersonville prison 132 died while there: When the regiment was mus tered into service there were 72 men upwards of six feet in height, of whem not one was present at the fi ual muster out. The regiment was finally mustered out at Newbern, N C., on the 25th of June, 1865, but 81 of the original men being present." Oil Speculation is Gambling. A decision was rendered in the supreme court on Monday morning which is of especial interest to oil brokers. It was from the court of McKean county, in the case of R. A. Dempsey vs. Mrs. M. A. Harm. It appears that in March. 1882, Huff Bros. & Co. issued to Mrs. M. A. Harm a certificate of deposit for $3- 000 payable in one year. Sometime after Mrs. Harm transferred this to N. D. Preston, as collateral to cover differences. It was claimed that the certificate was not transferable, and as there were two claimants suits were brought. The court instructed the jury to find that Preston was the legal owner before he turned the cer tificate over to a third party, as he had received it for valuable consider ation. The decision of Justice Gor don says: "The court did wrong in instructing the jury thus, for the evi dence shows very clearly that the consideration was illegal and void. That Preston's testimony upon the manner in which he received the cer tificate showed that it was illegal. It was clearly gambling upon the price of oil; as be (Preston) says after wards, a dealing in differences, which, as we have repeatedly ruled, it a transaction of such a nature as can not be sustained in a court of justice." The decree of the lower court was reversed and a new venire ordered. Oil Items. Oil remains at about same figures, for past week, 6T to fjS. The effort to "stop the drill" in this county will hardly succeed, the Bmall pro ducers kicking lively against the movement. The Pbillipß No. 6 on Behm farm, Reibold, and No. 3 on Stamm farm, are now the largest pro ducing wells in the State. COMMUNICATIONS. Sunbury Items. The family of John Dunlap is re covering, Miss Mine is now able to be out of her bed the greater part of the time. Miss Dullie is recovering slowly, as all typhoid patients do. Mr. Win. DunUp has returned from the Hot Springs in Michigan, but little, if any improved. He is troubled with muscular rheumatism. A company proposes putting down a well in tbis neighborhood for gas or oil—if sufficient leases can be ob tained. Prospect Jottings. Corn-husking, cider-making, apple picking, potato-digging, socials, dan ces, birthday and select dinner par ties appear to be in order now. Mr. Henry Shaffer has finished digging some of the finest sweet po tatoes we ever saw, Bome weighing 4 pounds. Reuben Shanor, our jolly tax-col lector, has been sitting "at the receipt of custom," for several days, gather ing the "tithes that belong to the realm." Lewis M. Akin and wife, of Sha ron, have returned home from a visit to friends here. Rev. Durst was somewhat sur prised when his members began to assemble and take the parsonage by storm. The siege was carried on with baskets of eatables and arms fill ed with presents It wa3 the Rev's birthday. Prof. Donecken, Y. P. S., of Lan caster, Pa., is in town, curing all manner of diseases among horses, and teaching others how to do the same. The following teachers have been elected in Franklin Twp.: J. G. McCullough. Ridge; O. F. Keister, Dick; E. L. English, Mile Run; Jas. Ralston, Bunker Hill; and Lafe Mc- Qowan, Hickory Corner. Length of term, 6 mos ; average wages per mo. s26f. Of course, you will get ycur boarding, boys. When the Sons of Veterans Camp sends delegates to Portersville again to establish a camp there, they will please send persons who will go home quietly and not yell and awak en everybody in town. George Frazier, of Lima, 0., is home, at bis mother's, Mrs. Mar shall. Mr. F. has been sick for some time. lon BIN. Town of Butler. FOE THE CITIZEN. Butler contains a population num bering as near as can be ascertained at present between six and seven thousand. Located near the center of the county in a beautiful depress ion, bu„ elevated where the center of the town lies so as to make good drainage. The town is surrounded by rather low hills, and watered by the Connoquenessing creek. The hills in this vicinity abound in stone and coal, of good quality, natural gas is found in large quantities, and oil is produced within a short distance, being good pumping wells and con tinuing for year 3 at almost the some status. Butler lies 30 miles north of Pittsburg, 40 miles south of Frank lin, 21 miles northwest of Freeport and the Allegheny river and near the same distance east of Beaver and the Ohio rivers. It contains a maguifi c nt Court House lately built at a cost of about $140,000. Large school buildings, Churches, business blocks, Orphan's Home, two large flouring mills, woolen factory, machine shops, immense Glass Works almost finish ed, which will cover when completed from 5 to 10 acres of ground and will employ several hundred workmen Bottle works are now runuing. These works have the advantage of compsting of railroads which have their Junction here viz. The P & W. running from Bradford and hav iog a through line to Chicago. The S. &A. forming a direct line with the west, northwest, and southwest The Penn R II running to Pbil'a & New York City, making the town of Butler a good center for trade and manufacture, a fair market and being almost in direct line from our West ern markets to our large shipping ports and cities in the east, and sur rounded by at least a fairly produc tive country, tend to make living cheap and the way to industrial suc cess easy and su re. BUTLER COUNTY. Butler County has an area of about 785 square miles, bounded, north by Venango County, east by Armstrong County, extending to the Allegheny river at its north and southeast cor ners, south by Allegheny County, its western boundary being Beaver, Lawrence, and Mercer Counties. It i-t about 34 miles in length north and soutn, bv 24 miles in width and con tains a population estimated at the present time at about 60 thousand. The surface of'the County is undula ting, tbe hills in no part of the Coun ty reaching any great altitude,the laud with little exception being adapted to ! tillage, watered by Slipperyrock, Muddy creek, Connoquenessing, Big and Little Buffalo, Hi? and Little Bear creek, Bull creek, Thorn creek, Glade Run, Breakneck, Silver creek, Yellow creek, and other smaller j streams. While in this County thero is no greatextent of valley land yet a broad and beautiful valley ha* been carved out by the Connoquenessing in the vicinity of Harmony and Ze lienople, aud the soil is rich and strong, yielding large increase to th-3 husbandman and fair to the eye of him who admires it for its beauty alone. The soil along Muddy creek and Slipperyrock is ia some places a rich sandy loam, forming excellent meadow land with an out crop along the hillsides of limestone, augment ing the producing power of the soii. In short the soil of the County is of good average quality as compared with the Counties of Western Penn'a Wheat, oats aud other cereals and grasses grow here with good success: milk, potatoes, hay, aud apples have been shipped to other parts of the country to a considerable extent The cheapness of farm products makea the cost of living low, compar ed with some of the other surround ing oil and gas counties. Prices of real estate and lots have uever reached the exorbitant figures of other manu facturing centres less advantageous for commerce or manufacture. Prob ably no location iu our State u more beautifully situated or better adapted to promote the health and happiaess of the citizen than the town of But ler, surrounded by hills, pure water, and free from malaria, uad furnished within tbe last few years with tutiaus ' for affording labor for hundreds of working meu, who are coming into the town, increasing tbe population. This fact alone gives impetus to our manufacturing enterprise?. The im mense Glass Works covering acres of ground, promising to be the largest in our State, are to be put in running order this full. Tho bottle works already running and another estab lishment of the same kind in process of erection portend for Hutler a bright future, which may give it a place in the ranks of industry beyond many of our towns and cities. . RAILROADS. Butler has three rail roads, P. & W. now doing a large busiaess here, hariog Bradford, Pittsburg, and Chicago for its terminus. It is nar row guage from Bradford to Butler and as soon as the gauge is changed to standard will form a direct line of communication from Butler to Brad ford, Rochester, and Albany, N. Y , and the St. Lawrence river which makes an open line of commerce to the seaboard and foreign countries ea3t. The company owning this road have lately acquired from YouDgstown and Painsville, Ohio, a port on Lake Erie over which line large shipments of iron ore from Lake Superior regions can be made, mak ing this rail road a formidable com peting line for the transportation of iron ore from the north to the various points along this rail. The length of the line proper from Allegheny to Akron is 135 miles and from Callery to Bradford about 120 miles. The S. &A. II K. whose termini are practically Cincinnati, Cleveland, and Erie is a goGd standard gauge whose length proper is about 58 miles from Butler to Greenville. This road has a branch to Coal Town and Milliards iu Butler County, af fording direct shipments of coal l'rom the large mines in this region to the town of Butler and other points along this line. Butler furnishes a direct line of communication from the latter paint to the cities of Philadelphia and New York and is a competing line with the P. & W. to Pittsburg being nine miles longer. These rail roads add much to the manufacturing interests of Butler, the junction of these roads, so that this point offers n fair compe tetion with other localities in West ern Pennsylvania. CENTREVILLE'S WELCOME. REUNION OF Cos. "C" AND "E," IOOTII REGIMENT P. V. Y. (ROUNDHEAD) AT CENTREVILLE, ON SEPT. 29, 1887. The reunion is a thing of the past, but it ha:, left memories that will live for generations. Notwithstanding our inexperience in such matters ami threatening weather until noon, v.e expected a red letter day, but the re sult so far exceeded all we hoped for that we may be pardoned if we in dulge : in self congratulations to a limit ed extent. The universal verdict of the boys of the 100 th and all others pres ent was, that it was the very best they had ever attended. On Thurs day the people began decorating their houses and by the morning of the 2 ( Jth the town presented a gala day appearance not seen here before. By 11 o'clock all the boys that came were here. The procession formed on Main street facing north, as follows : Chief Marshal, James S, Wilson, formerly of 78th Reg't, P. V. V., Centreville Cornet Hand, Neyman Christley, formerly of 78th Ileg't. P. V. Y., in charge. Co. "C," 100 th Reg't, P. Y. V. 29 membsrs, Hiram Gill in command. Co. "E" 100 th Reg't, P. Y. V., 23 members and six members of other companies, Geo. Maxwell in command. O. G. Bing ham Post 305, G. A. R., 25 members, and all old soldiers present. Robert Kessic, formerly of 31st Reg't Ohio Y. V., in command. • The procession marched ofif to the enlivening strains of the Centreville Cornet Band, proceeded along Main St, as far as McCarne's and Coo vert's, countermarched back and as far south as Bard's and Bingham's, countermarched to centre of town and cast as far as the residence of William K Brown, a member of Company "C," when a brief halt was made to give the boys of Company "C" an opportunity to pay their res pects to their former comrade, which was done by shouting forth three cheers and a liger for their aged com rade. Comrade Brown's residence was gaily and gorgeously decorated. The procession was then directed to the M. E church for the exercises of the day, which were conducted from the steps on tßc outside The build ing could not accomadate one-third of the assemblage. The meeting was called to order by the Chief Marshal. Rev. W. D Ewing led in prayer. Prof. Kelly's choir followed wita "America." Mr. C. C. McOarnes was then intro duced to the audience by the Chief Marshal and delivered the folllowing admirable Address of Welcome, which was eloquently delivered and greatly appreciated by all and listen ed to with perfect silence: Surviving members of Cos. C and E, lOOt'n P. V. V.. in behalf of the citizens of Ceatarville I extend to ycu a hearty welcome. 1 assise yoy that to-day as you grasp each other's hands, renew the friendship formed OQ fields of battle, and recall the scene* of hardship aud suffering iu the ser vice of the couutrv, you have the heart felt sympathy of our people. We can never know what strong emotions thronged your breasts at the thoughts of desolate homes and a severed union. We can ■ never know what lofty sentiments of love and patriotism spurred you ou to victory. But, we believe, we aatiag. not the desire to II lunt before the people the record of your deeds of valor; nor to keep fresh in their minds the obliga tion yot) have placed up in them. God forbid that they .should ever need to be reminded of tbo debt they owe you. We see ia your meeting here to day only the desire to perpetuate the friendship formed while associa ted together ia the camp, on the march and the battle-field, and to re call the experiences, ludicrous aud pathetic, incidents to army life, 'f hough to iniay of us the war iu which ygu were engaged is more a matter of history than recollection, the magnituda of the struggle is clear ly realized. A federation of 31 1 states, comprising a population of 30 millions. divided and warring, one half agalust the other, for their homes, j is an event, the like of which never had been before, and perhaps never will again be enacted in the history of the world. Wars have baen waged for priory, power, and conquest; wars have been cruel, bloody and destruc tive. The only true and legitimate cause of war is for the protection of homes aud their maintenance. Such causes only can make war so deadly and destructive as the war of the re bellion. POP tae preservation qf the Union mothers sacrificed their sons, wives gave up their husbands, sisters parted with their brothers, and over two aud a half millions of mon de serted workshops and counting rooms, leaving kindred and friends, shoulder- Ed the musket or buckled on the, ' sword. The pra} r ers of a united i I North, hearts with patriot- j \ ism, and arms nerved to superhuman strength' could not but be victorious. But at how great a cist! Three hua ; dred thousand lives were sacrificed, and as many homes mode desolate. Men returned north with shattered limbs aud ruined health. The vacant chair at the fireside told a sorrowful tale, and mourning was miDgled with joy. Yet many good results have followed; perfect equality has been secured to all classes It has been demonstrated that the North must live with and for the South, and the Sonth with aad for the North. The breach which threatened destruc tion to the Union has been closed un til scarcely a crack i.s left, and hearty good will is fast increasing between the blue and the gray. Xo more the eat trldge answers in the rifle true and trusty. And the good sword iiangs neglected In its seab bord ill and rust}-. "Yank" and "Keb"'no more are heard the nick names of derision. The "blue'' and "gray" no longer are the colors of division. But while we should hail with de light the day when passion and prej udice will be forgotten, wo will also keep alive iu our memory the love and gratitude which w& have for you, who defended the stars and stripes. Parents will tell their children how, when treason and rebellion threaten ed our country with shame and hu miliation, you rushed to the front and offered yourself a voluntary sacrifice that the Union might be preserved; they will tell them how you fought and fell, suffered and bled, how you endured the hardships of years of deadly warfare, and how your brave ry finally triumphed. Generations after generations will recouut your gallant deeds and do honor to your memory. We greet ycu here to-day particularly as survivors of the fa mous Roundhead lieg't. In history to have been a Roundhead will bees teemed a greater honor than to have been one of the Imperial guards at Waterloo. Tee stcrs and stiipe? never waived over truer hearts or braver men, James' Island, Bull Run, Chantiliy,South Mountain, Antietam, Fredericksburg, Vickshurg.K'doxville, Wilderress, Spottsvlvania, Cold Uarbor, Fort Stead man and the final assalt on Petersburg, all testify to your bravery. On Northern and Southern battle fields you displayed your courage and prowess; and in Norrhern aud Southern hearts you are honored. Time has not lessened our love for you and as to day we enjoy the peace aad security which you purchased at so great a cost, we welcome you to the hearts and homes of Centrevilie. The Address of Welcome was re sponded to by Col. Hugh Morrison, of Company "C". The following dispatch was receiv ed and read by Comrade George Maxwell: Sr. LOUIS, MISSOURI Sept. 29, 1887 j Comrade Maxwell, Center ville, Butler Co., Pa.
