FRIDAY, DECEMBER 2. 1887.
Congress.
The annual meeting of Congress
takes place on Monday next. The
principal question that will likely bo
discussed is, "What is to done with
tbe surplus ?" Why this surplus in
the Treasury alarms some statesmen
so much has never been made clear.
To some Democrats it seems an aw
ful matter. If the source.—tax or
tariff, from which tbe surplus is de
rived was injuring any body or any
business, then it would appear reas
onable to make war against and de
stroy it. But the taxes from which it
comes, as for instance on liquor and
tobacco making, are an actual benefit,
being upon luxuries that could be
dispensed with. But the great mys
tery is why this surplus cannot and is
not applied to public and good ob
jects. The education of the colored
people is one that • would promote
better citizenship. The thousands of
public buildings that could be erected,
such as a post office building in every
town of importance in the country,
would be auother good purpose for
using the surplus. Other necessary
improvements of a National character
could be mentioned. So that, instead
of trying to destroy the alleged sur
plus, reason and the true policy would
seem to be its application to public
improvements.
Meeting of the Co. Committee.
In another place will be Been the
proceedings of tbe Republican Co.
Committee that met last Friday.
The Chairman of the Co. Committee,
it will be seen, was authorized to ap
point three of a com mutee from this
county to meet similar committees
from the other counties of this Con
gressional and Senatorial district.
This has been done by the Chairman.
A* to the Congressional district,
committees have already been ap
pointed in Mercer and Beaver coun
ties, laaving but Lawrence county
now to act in the matter. The only
thing further we have now to sug
gest is, that the sooner a district
meeting of the committees is arrang
ed for the better, as it will be found
that much time and labor will be re
quired before all tbe details of • new
mode of nominating can be perfected
And then, after tbe work of tbe joint
meeting has been done it has to be
referred back to the Co. Committee
ot eaeb county for final approval or
disapproval Tbis will take time.
As to this Senatorial district, the
work can be mnch shorter and more
speedily performed, being but two
counties composing tbe district. We
•re not aware of any movement in tbe
matter yet made on tbe part of Arm
strong County but have no doubt the
Chairman of its County Committee
will in dne time act in the premises.
Tbe two counties, Armstrong and
Butler, are so nearly equal in their
Republican vote, as shown at tbe late
election, that we know of no Senate
district in tbe State that tbe counties
eould afford to meet each other on
perfectly eqnal and fair terms. The
object is to get away from tbe present
conferee system which has proved it
self so injurious to tbe party. An
other object is to get away from any
appeal to the State Committee to de
. cide between candidates, which has
proven to be equally injurious, be
sides being wrong in principle and in
practice. The present conferee sys
tem leads to tbis appeal to tbe State
Committee. The three conferees are
appointed by tbe candidate and are
to all intents and purposes tbe per
sonal property of tbe candidates, obey
ing tbe will of tbe candidate appoint
ing them, as they cannot in honor
do otherwise. The result is that con
ference after conference is held until
one party, by stubbornly refus
ing to yield tbe other bis clear rights,
creates the necessity for calling in
some other power than that of the
people. So far as the Republicans of
Armstrong and Butler Counties are
concerned we think they are tired, or
ought to be, of tbe interference of the
State Committee in making their
nominations.
As to the preference expressed by
our County Committee for tbe popu
lar vote system, that, while in ac
cordance witb tbe general sentiment
of the Connty, is bnt a preference.
It will be the work ani the duty of
tbe Committee appointed for each
district to look over and carefully
consider all uew plans proposed and
tben adopt tho one that comes nearest
to the people and is the fairest and
best. All tbe details will be the
proper subjects for tho consideration
and action of the committees when in
joint assembly.
A Difference of Opinion.
The Cleveland Plain Dealer has
tbis to gay eoccerning Rev. W. II
Milburn, tbe blind preacher, who
served during tbe Forty-niuth Con
prcHHs as Chaplain of tbe House of
Representative?:
"The eloquent blind preacher, Rev.
W. IL Milburn, tbe present chaplain
of tbe bouse of representatives, is a >
candidate for re-election. It is i
tbouebt the IOSR is an advan. j
tsge to bim as chaplain ot tho bouse, j
for if be were alble to see he might
not have tbe courage to continue to
pray for some members wbo are not
op to tbe standard of morality."
While tbe want of Dr. Milburn's \
sight is undoubtedly an advantage
to him in the above capacity of C'bap-!
lain to Congress yet we tbink it is
more of an advantage to tbe "some 1
x&emberd," in that be cannot see tbem j
spd (now tbeir w!cfc-d ways.

- the popular vote in Virginia, at
the recent election, the Republicans
carried tbe state by two thousand ma
jority—l fact which naturally greatly
encourages the leaders and rank and
file of the party, and ha 3 greatly sur
prised and chagrined tbe Democracy
throughout the entire South. With
Virginia in the balance, tho Presiden
tial contest of 1888 will be lull of peril
for the party now in control of the
National Government.
The Latest Vote.
The only election from which the
Democrats yet seem to have gotten
any returns is that in New York.
Their disproportionate jubilation over
their success in that state, however,
is simply a stupid confession that
tbey had been seared out of tb"ir
boots beforehand over the prospect of
an opposite result. And they had
good cause to be
Tbe latest elections have given the
Republicans popular majorities iu
Virginia. New Jersey and Indiana,
having thirty six electoral votes, and
the Democrats a popular mnjurity iu
New York, having thirty- six elector
al votes. In the Presidential election
of 1884, the Democrats carried all ol
these states It is easy enough,
therefore, to understand their con
sternation at tbe prospect of losing
New York and their great relief
when they carried it. If the result
had been different CLKVELANO, Pos 1
office and Reform, would undoubtedly
have been in bad shape.
The Democrats speak of tlm result'
in New York as settling its status
next year. But why will not the!
same rule apply to the three other
states named, iu favor of the Repub- :
Means ? In Virginia, of course, the !
Democrats can rely with confidence !
upon frauds upon tho ballot to carry ,
them through. But iu ludiana uud
New Jersey tbe reign of fraud has
been broken, and they cannot wiu
without them. So, as far ah the last i
elections are concerned, it is difficult
to see ouy other rational explanation
of tbe general crowing of tho Demo
cratic roosters than that given in the ;
Grst Benie'jcca of this article.—Wash-'

Winfield Township Institute.
The teachers, directors and friends
of education met according to previ-
I ons arrangements at Centre School,
; Wiufield township, on the 15 ult ,
to organize an Institute for all who
wished to attend. The Institute
I was organized by choosing J F.
i Huizler as Chairman and W. C.
• Findley as Secretary.
"Primary reading and spelling'"
was discussed by J. M Fainter, who
condemned the old methcd of teach
ing by letter. He believed ia taking
some object familiar to the child,
writing the name on the board and
impressing the child with the form
of the word, gradually advancing by
supplementing Dew words, until the
child can read readily J. 11. Donald
! followed , recommending a picture of
the object on the board as an aid.
W. S Graff endorsed Messrs. Painter
and Donald.
Language was next discussed.
Opened by W. C. Fiudley, who di
■ vided the subject into two parts—nat
ural and word language. The belief
j was expressed that the lack of ink in
f the study of this branch couid be rem
edied by noting incorrect and vulgar
i expressions, calling attention to them,
j aud so awaken curiosity. J F.
; Hutzler wonld have one or more ex
! pressions on the playground, and then
j correct them, a part of the exercise.
W. S. Graff thought that easy and
j plain words and sentences should be
! used to start young pupils. J. H
Donald believed that grammar should
be taught early in life aud especially
by practical corrections.
Geography came Dext. Opened by
\V. S. Graff, who would teach by di
viding into three common divisions.
I Primary geography should be taught
; by commencing near home and by
i synthetic methods, passing on to tbo
analytic. J M. Painter would draw
a picture of the hemispheres on the
board and the circles which cross
them. W. C. Fiudley and W. S •
Graff recommended the use of globes '
to teach the two motions of the earth,
its relation to the sun aud other plan
ets J. F. Hutzler believed that
board illustration was beneficial in ;
teaching geography.
Recess. Then query box was j
opened and answered by the teachers. j
Writing was opeued by J. F. Hutz j
ler, who believed there sbonid be no j
hobby made of writing, but pupils
should be tauirht to write a good leg- ;
ible hand. Mr. Donald agreed with ,
Hutzler and Mr. Graff favored set
copies.
How to secure the co-op ration of j
parents was opened by Mr. Donald, |
who said that the child betrayed its
training at homo by its actions at j
school, and that it was not necessary j
to visit parents to fiud out their atti- j
tude towards the school, for the child !
showed it. Mr. Fiudley observed
that those who never visit the school,
orco-operate with the teacher,urejmost !
Ij the first to complain and brand the
teacher as a failure. Director J. C J
Smith recommended the visitiug of j
schools by friends of education.
This closed the program of the
day, and now may we be allowed to
add a word touching the altitude of
the people of this and adjoining town - ;
ships to our efforts to mako these j
meetings the fulcrum on which shall
Irs overbalanced indifference and opa
thy. Only lend U3 your power-arm j
and we will lilt thes-i weights from i

ways the safest under which to shel
ter in sunshine or storm.

dissemination of obscene matter.
The attention of those who are in the
habit of defacing walls by obscene
lines and pictures thsreon, is called

How To Use The Surplus.
The Philadelphia Press says:
"Th«re is a clear stand-off on merit
between the plans for disposing of the
Treasury surplus suggested by Wm.
L Scott and Edvard Atkinson—
Mr. Scott fayoring its disposal by
loaning it to the national banks at 2
per cent interest, and Mr. Atkinson i
urging that it be used in buying the
Canadiau maritime provinces
Against both of these schemes stands
the Republican idea that a good por
tion of the money, at least, might
well be used in educating the people."
—There in goiog to be a dispute
between Crawford arid Forest Cuun
tiea as to who shall have tho banner
offered by the It -publican State Com
mittee for the nearest relative ap
proach to the Blaine vote of 1884.
Iloth these c. unties brought out a
[{/' publican vote in excess of that
given for Blaine, and th'-y are the
only counties in the State that did
so. Forest exceeded the Blaine vote
on both candidates, while Crawford
did so only on the candidate for su
preme judge This is no doubt at
tributable to the hot light for the dis
trict judgeship. The average gain on
the Blaine vote in Crawford on a to
tal Republican vote of 7271 is 11 .while
that in Forest i> 11 on a total Repub
lican vote of 710. Both counties
have done nobly, and if Chairman
Cooper concludes to give each a ban
ner no barm will be done. The re
sult will enciuragt! a similar offer
for next year — Ex.
—Thanksgiving Day services in
the several churches of this place

ably. The Union services in the Prcs
bvttrian Church were largely attend
ed. The festival and fair k' v,j " hy
the members of the Reformed Church,

pleasant occasions. The English
Lutheran Church was handsomely
decorated for Thanksgiving with lino
samples of grains, fruits, and flowe s,
and flags and other emblems. In the
evening a Sunday School benefit
wan held in the Church by the schol
ars aud conducted by the pastor. The
Church was crowded and the exer
ciser oi' the ehildren were well received
—lt is Kaid that when Secretary
Lunar w as asked if he would accept
a seat on the Supremo Bench he re
plied: " It's just the place for an old
gentleman like mc, who wants to
doz-j away his remaining days " Tho
public may depend that if there is a
chance to "doza'' oflic ially. thit La
it.ar will bo on haud for tou job, and
wiM loyally stick to it so long as
there is a penny in the Treasury.—

by her mother, she en'erod a Wabash
Avenue store and selected a bonnet
of black nun's-veiling, with a long
widow's veil of the same material
! Her mother objected to the veil, say
ing that it was to deep mourning for

I subject was terminated by Nina, who

"Mother, if you have come here to

Catarrh Cure
Catarrh Is a very prevalent disease, with
distressing and offensive symptoms. Hood|3
Karsaparilla gives ready relief and speedy
cure, from the fact it acts through the blood,
and thus reaches every part of tins system.

Hood's Sarsapr.rilla and I am not troubled any
Willi catanh, and my general health Is niueh
better." I. W. 1.n.1.i5, Postal C'lerk Chicago
& St. Louis Railroad.
" I suffered with catarrh Cor 8 years; tried
many wonderful cures, inhalers, etc., spend
ing nearly one hundred dollars without benefit.
1 tried Hood's Harsaparilhi, and was greatly
Improved." M. A. Annuv, Worcester, Muss.
Hood's Harsaparllla is characterized by
three peculiarities : Ist, the combination of
remedial agents ; 2d, the prop or/ion; 3d, tho
lirocens of securing the active medicinal
qualities. The result IS a medicine of unusual
strength, effecting cures hitherto unknown.
Hcml for book containing additional evidence.
"Hood's Sarsanarilla tones up my system,
purifies my Mood, sharpens nr. ;I:>| -elite, and
seems to make mo over." J. P. TiioMfSON,
Register of Deeds, Lowell, Mass.
"Hood's Harsaparllla heals all others, and
