Address, J. H. NEOLEY, Editor CITIZEN, Butler, Pa. THBBB are 820 delegates in the Chicago Convention, making 411 a majority necessary to make a nomi nation. THE mother of General Sheridan died at her home in Ohio last week. The General himself is improving in health. IT is calculated that it will take fowdays to do the work of tha Chi sago Republicsn National Conven tion. This will end with to day, Friday. —We are invited to be present at the reunion of the 105 th Pennsylva nia Regiment at Gettysburg, and the deaieaiion of that Regiment's monu ment on the grounds on Monday, Jaly 3d, 1888. —Who Was It? The Pittsburg Com-Gazette'* correspondent from Chicago, of Monday last, says of a delegate as follows: "One delegate from a county adjoining Allegheny promised ten friends to secure them tichets, and on the strength ot this they came to Chicago. He can get hat three tickets, despite the most soal-stirring appeals, and now be has seven enemies upon his hands, where before to-night he had seven friends." I* the early days of the Republic aominationa for the Presidency were made by members of Congress, who aamed the candidates for their differ •at psrties to support. The last of thaas wss in 1824, after which, com ■racing with General Jackson, Na tioaal Conventions in some shape be gaa to be held. HEBE is what Mr. Randall says of labor and free trade. Every Demo crat should study it: "While a dol lar may buy mors in another country than here, a day's labor, which is the crucial test, will exchange for more of the necessaries and comforts of life bare than anywhere else. Under free trade this advantage which ac eraas to labor wonld disappear, for no industrial systems, with labor in one receiving doable tbe wages of labor la tbe otber, could long exist with free trade between ibem." Tired oflt on First Trial. Tbe new system of nominating for Congress in tbia district proved such a failure that tbe late New CasMe Convention before it adjourned paus ed a resolution recommending tbe popular vote system instead. Aa was predicted, the system of having dele g*t?s in equal numbers from each of tbe four counties proyed but little better than tbe old Couferree system. And so long as tbe idea of tbe equal ity of countu-g ia kept up in anj dis trict this must be tbe result It is tree tbe late nomination for Congress ia tbia district waa made by a break ofoneofthe Lawrence County dele gates from tbe body of the other dele gates of that County. But he was boldly charged with selling his vote for a price. Whether this be true or not we do not know. Oae thing is clear however, and tbat is, he was tbe only man of tbe whole sixty that seemed to hare a conception of tbe true intent and meaning of the aew system; to-wit, by voting by •dis tricts and not bv couoties. Hut this did not and will not save bun from the charge made of beiug unuith ful to bis county. The charge is tbe out growth of keeping up the "county eqeality" principle. When the effort commenced last (all to get away from tbe Conferree eystcni and having anew one in this district, it was with the view of ob taining the popular vote system, pure and aimple. And now aa it has been reonmended by tbe first district con vention tbat assembled under the preaent plan, we presume measures Will be taken, by all tbe County Com mitters of tbe four counties, to make provision for district nominatious by tbe popular voto, and tbis in time be fore another nomination comes on to I ho made. The Chirac Convention. OPENED ON TUESDAY, AND STILL IN SESSION. Gen. John C. Fremont Present, Also Frederick Douglass, And Other Distinguish ed Men. The Republican National Conven tion at Chicago opened on Tuesday and was called to order by the selec tion of Judge Thurston of Nebraska as temporary chairman, who made a brilliant speech on the occasion, as did also Mr. B F. Jones of Pittsburg on calling the Convention to order. Gen. John C. Fremont, the first Republican candidate for President, in 1855, was present and by invita tion addressed the Convention in a speech full of wisdom and patriotism Frederick Douglass, the celebrated colored orator, was also present and being introduced also addressed the Convention in behalf of hia race. A resolution sending greetings to Gen. Sheridan on the improvement of his health was passed by the Convention by a rising vote. Contests arising from disputed seats from the State of Virginia the first day closed without the Conven tion being tully organized, and ad journed to Wednesday. Senator Quay was chosen to repre sent Pennsylvania on the next Na tional Committee. WEDNESDAY—SECOND DAY. Convention re-assembled at 12 M and Hon. M. M. Estee, of California, was chosen permanent Chairman and made a brief address. The New York delegates have united in presenting Chauncey M. Depew to the Convention, which makes his nomination possible. Hon. William McKinley of Ohio is the most prominent and possible "dark horse" spoken of at Chicago. Blaine's name will not be present ed to the Convention, and his nomin ation can take place only in the event of a complete deadlock, and then by general consent. This is possible but not probable. There is a strong un dercurrent, however, for him, which may break out in the Convention at any time. NIGHT SESSION—WEDNESDAY. A night session was held and the Committee of Credentials reported iu the Virginia case, admitting to seat* a majority of the Wise delegates over the Mabone ones. OQ a vote taken the report was approved by tbe Con vention, by 512 for, to 250 against. The above vote would seem to in dicate tbe streDght of John Sherman in tbe Convention, and that he cannot be nominated Mabone and bis dele gation are for Sherman and the Wise men for some other man. The rnleß adopted by tbe Conven tion will prevent any stampede dur ing roll call for any candidate. NO BALLOT TAKEN. As we go to press at this, Thurs day noon, we have to do BO without being able to give our readers the re suit of a first ballot as we had hoped Tbe presenting of candidates to tbe Convention, speeches in their favor, and a ballot will be taken this Thurs day afternoon —and nominees may be obtained Friday or Saturday. The platform has first to be adopted. Germany's Second Emperor Dead. Germany loses another King and Emperor. Only on March Bth last King William died. And now his son, Frederick 111 who succeeded him to the throne, is also dead. Thus within little more than three months does Germany bury two Kings of Prussia and Emperort of all Germany father and son. Frederick came into power afflicted with a disease which it was thought wonld soon eat away his life. It was cancer in tbe throat, and somewhat Bimilar to that of which General Grant died. He in turn is succeeded by hia son, William, wbo assumes the title of William 11. Ho is a joung man, represented as being crippled in one arm and unlike both hia father Fred erick and grandfather William in character and disposition. He is said to be rather warlike in his feelings towards France and ambitiouß for name and fame generally. Hence it it predicted that peace in Europe may not last long. Another notable thing in Gorinany now iB that she has two Queen Dow agers—that is two widows of Kings; who after the deaths of their hus bands receive a large dowery per year, and beuce called Queen Dow age™. The widows of both William I and Frederick 111 are living The latter is the oldest daughter of Queen Vic toria of England, and if Prince Albert and her other brothers should happen to die before she does then she would also become Queen of England, or Great Britain rather, as well as being a Qneen Dowager of Germany. A Glean Campaign. In tbe approaching political cam paign it will behoove those who take an actiye part, either on the stump or through the press, to reflect whether it is good policy, not to mention good manners, to make it a campaign of personal abuse and vituperation Such a course irritates many and makes them zealous workers for the person abused. It gives offense also to many who are hesitating wlure to cast their votes. They think it is a bad cause which needs such means to push it and are swerved to the other siJe. It is totally uncalled for in a contest which puts directly in issue opposiug theories on purely eco noinical questions. It is not worthy of a people claiming to be trnly civilized It creates personal animosities be tween jHJople who are not office holders or seekers, and who have no interest in parties save as they con cern the general welfare. The public men hubitually given to bitter invec tive are not the men most valued for judgement, and lesser men need not think they are helping a cause by bil lingsgate. I jet us, if possible, have a clean and decent fight It will be warm enough and teuacious enough without any resort to blackguardism. A Long Sleep. BKOOKVILLK, PA , June 15 —WM.

But they are all really doubtful. The Democrats cannot elect the next President without carrying New York. If they should carry all the other doubtful States and lose New York they would still lack 18 votes of enough. Or, if they should carry New York and lose the other doubt ful States they would fall 12 votes short. In order to win they must carry both New York and Indiana, or New Y'ork New Jersey and Connec ticut, besides the solid South.

The Cost of School Books. The discussion of the bill recently j passed by the Ohio legislature to 1 have a uuiformity of school books throughout the state, and to have the books published uuder contract, j brought out some interesting facts l in reference tc the cost of school books, Spelling books that retail ! from 18 ceuts to 25 cents each can be furnished in lots of 200,000 at j cents apiece. Readers which cost f.n an ayerage 54 cents per copy at retail, can be had iu same number as spell-j ers for 14 cents per copy. Arithme- • tics uow selling at GO cents, wili cost | in large iots 17 cents. Geographies that retail at $1.40, under the propos ed plan will cost but 20| cents. Grampiars that now cost 76 cents will be furnished at 18 cents, and his tories which retail iu Ohio now at $1.17 can be furnished under contract for 25i cents. These figures are not mere guess work, but bids made bv responsible printers to get the woik. The secret of maintaining these high prices is that parents, under the law, must buy that and no other. A book of poems nicely priuted, and contact ing SWO pages, can be bought f« r 35 cents and a school book of the same size costs from $1 25 -to $1,50. —Ex- Pensions of Soldiers' Widows. Congress has ju.st enacted that pensions heretofore or hereafter grant ed to widows of soldiers of the War of the Rebellion shall commence at the date of tbe death of their hus bands. This legislation favorably af fects all claims of widows of the late war which have been filed in the Pen sion Oflice cn or after July 1. 1880, and which have b'jen allowed to com mence from the date of filing the claims, but will not favorably affect tbe cases of sueh widows a* were filed before July 1, 1880, and which have been allowed, pension having already been granted in those cases from the date of their hunbands' death. The Commissioner of Pensions gives notice that in the settlement of claims under this law already allowed, no formal application will be required, and that the services of attorneys will not be necessary. Widows entitled under said law need only write a letter giv ing name, postoflice address and cer tificate numbers, and the claims will be allowed with as little delay as practicable. A Child's Long Journey. Maggie Wells, aged 11 years,roarb ed Pittsburg last Sunday af.eruoon after a journey from Kigland, which she had made unaccompanied Tbe little girl is a Yorkdhiro lass. Her ancle, John Kay, resides on the South Side. Three years ago he took a fancy to tbe child and recently sent for her.

From Now York she came in charge of tbe trainmen One of the depot hands road the directions and placed her on a South Side street oar The conductor put her off at South Twenty first street, where a boy read the directions on the tag and took her to Mr. Kay's bouse, a square away. The child said she had been sick but one day and bad had no trouble. —C. C.

Judge Agnew on the Tariff. A large audience Thursday week • gathered in the handsome flower-be j decked assembly room of the Young Mens Republican Tariff club, ou j Smithfield street, Pit*sburgb, to listen , to an address delivered by linn Dan | iel Agnew. ex chief justice of tbe Su ' preme coart of Pennsylvania, on the | subject of ' Protection of American Labor and Industry.'' Not the least noticeable feature of the gatharia - : was the number of ladies present, who patiently waited until nearly nice o'clock, when the meeting was called |to order by President Mc Furl and, who with a few well-chosen words of introduction presented the speaker of I the evening. Mr. Agnew, in begin j ning his address, said: "Tbe address was written to exhib- I it the absolute dependence of the far | mer upon protection. Order is said ! to be Heaven's first law. Men arc | found under separate governments, j Nations being separate they have by i natural necessity rights and privileg | es. These are determined bv the j countries they inhabit. Nature con- Sues to some only a few of her prod- I ucts, while to others she has opened | the storehouse of her wealth. Such j being the order of Providence, nations own by rigb f , and r.oae except by | force. If any nation tries to rob us of ! our land or industries, we fight tbe j first with arms and the other with ; counter legislation. In applying ! these principles to our own country, we must consider our own abilities. Our couutry is continental, and its boundaries embrace the products of I every zone. It possesses all of the arts, and by its wealth carries for tunes to the pinnacle of prosperity. Our country needs to be protected to make the people happy. Therefore self protection is our bounden duty. But how is protection to be obtained? The products of the earth beiug man ifold" the first to be considered is tLe ; farmer. He must be the first protect-! ed. llow is he to be protected? To produce abundantly he must live comfortably; he must have the imple ments which cheapen labor and in crease production; he must have me chanics and manufacturers to make these implements for him, so that He may enjoy the comforts of life. Pro tection consists in protecting all the arts and industries which furnisu him with the necessaries of life. The fur rner is dependent on his country men, and they on him. When they suller he sutlers also. But there is another way of stating proofs; that is the mar ket Where is it? All around him. Who consumes his products? With out all the callings of life what be comes of nil his work? Without his countrymen around him ho receives no market. Let them become poor and so does he, for he sells less. Now what composes a ton of iron? The materials in it do not consist of one tenth of it. Tbe rest is labor. There are first the men who dig the coal aud the ore, thea, are the men aod teams that haul them to tbe furnace, aud then the laborers at the furnace who make the iron. Who furnishes the supplies to aid the laborer? The farmer. His butter, eggs, meat, etc , are all bought by the laborer for his subsistence All these are found in that ton of iron. Now change the scene to Eogland. The labor and material produced there are imported here in the shape of iron. ■ What, of the firmer? His place is supplied by England. To him the ton is lost; it is lost to home labor aud its products. The free trader looks at the ton lying upon the wharf, aud thinks how uice and free from duty. He does not see that the ton is lost to the farmer, me chanic and laborer. Then lay the English ton beside the American ton Then yon see that it reduces the Amer.cari ton, and deprives it of giv ing a comfortable living to the farmer and mechanic When the home mar ket is protected the importer must pay duty in order to take partin the sales. Free trade has no right to take from us the bounteous gifts showered upon us bythe providenceof (iod.The iron is an example only. The same is true of everything else. Take a ton of wool and follow it through all the processes uutil it again reaches tbe farmer who produced it. His market is still among his countrymen, and if tbey arewithout protection their loss is shar ed by him. The farmer may well say: 'I live by my countrymen, and if they are injured I am hurt.' Clearly the American manufacturer has no right | to aid his busiuess at the expense of his workmen. Tbey. tbe capitalists, furnish the market for mechanical la bor, and if they are protected they can employ. But what would a me chanic think of protection which would wreck the man who employs him? The only true policy is to pro- j tect both. Tbe Cobdcn club and the j importer use the same reasons for sd vocating free trad", and both send out false statements to deceive the Amer ican. What American would re nounce the blessings be has had be stowed? What man would sacrifice his country to enrich a foreign coun try? Let them drive out this British monster, fre-j trade." Blaine Gathering Flowers. LONDON, June 15. —The Blaine party arrived at Arkern yesterday after perhaps the pleasantest dav of the tour, as far as weather conditions are concerned. When spoken to about politics Mr. Blaine would have nothing to say. He remarked, however, Le bad seeu the Ti.nvn dispatch indicating that a very strong movement is on foot to nominate him by acclamation on the meeting of the convention, but has nothing to say regarding the matter. It would have been an edifying sight for the gentlemen who at pres ent are doubtless rhaking the corri dors of the Chieago hotels echo with their politieal palaver to have seen their chief yesterday aftern > m gath ering flowers and making them up in to wreathes and nosegays in the cas tle grounds at Tickhill The 17-year Locusts. Dispatches from points in Northern lowa and Western Illinois report:; the appearauce of swarms of the 17 year locusts. Prof. Riley, the United States entomologist, who is at pres ent in Chicago, wheu asked about the locusts said that a well known brood occurs thi year, and this periodical visitor may be looked for iu wooded portions of Illinois and lowa, and also, a indicated by the experience of IS7I, in portions of Wisconsin, lowa, Indiana and Michigan and in the Southeast by the eastern portion of Lancaster county, I'a , known as the Pequea Valley, The last named lo cality was not verified in 1871, al though there is no doubt of the ap pearance of the insect in immense numbers there in 1854.

Fire broke out iu Biker II use near the 1> 11. A P., depot, in Dubois, last Monday afternoon, and rapidly spread o\t.-r almost the entire town Dubois was a town of 7 000 people aud was largely built of wood, al though many brick buildings re interspersed among the r'ore inflara niuble sti ict ires. It hdno ap >ara ; tua to oppose a fire, except a fe.v wa ter-mains ou L"»ng and Courtney streets, and these had no adequate hose and no machines of aly kind. A strong wind prevailed at, the time the fire was discovered, ami o 'lore people could realize the sitn ui >n sparks had been blowa from poiut to point, and, lighting on the wooden buildings, which were as dry as pow der the intensely-ho' sun, kindled the flames in all directions. Long street from the Rocheslej Coal Company's store to the top of the of the hill exends about a mile, and it is cleared its entire length ex cept eight or ten houses at the ex treme east end. Weber avenue is all burned, as is also Courtney street from Long street to the Terpe House corner. The Terpe House was saved. Railroad street is a complete ruin. Stockdale street likewise. The terri tory covered by tbe fire resembles a figure 8, beiug over a mile from end to end, half a mile at the widest parts and two blocks at the middle. It covefs the entire business portion of tbe town except John E. Dußois' store and the Rochester Company's store. Two churches, a dozen hotels, eight drug stores, dry goods stores, groceries, hardware stores, innumera ble business places of all kinds aud several hundred bouses are all gone in smoke. That night 3000 people had no roof above them but the smokey, grimy sky. Many of these people saved nothing but tlie clothes on their backs. Little crowds are huddled to gether on all the streets leading out of towa, knowing not where to turn for a bed cr a breakfast. About 7 o'clock a fire-engine arriv ed from Reuovo, but it was too late to lend auy practical aiJ. The dam age was thea already done aad the lire was dying for want of new ground to work ou. Unreliable reports were ia circulation to the effect that one or two persons had perished iu the flames, b-u', the rumor could not bo traced to a truthful source. The only living thing kaowa to have perished was a horse. Tuo loss is put by insurance people at a rouud million, and by others at sums running from 'ua!f chat amount up; but it is largely conjecture, for the people are so excited that they hardly know what they are doing or have lost. The insurance is very light. The companies were afraid to touch the town on account of its wooden buildings. The origin of the fire could not be determined. Various causes are given, but the plausible is that a kitchen flue wits defective. The business places destroyed num ber from 150 to 175, besides the resi dences, and the losses are regarded larger than at first reported. The scenes among th<? homeless are piti ful. "The Butchers' Well." Tbe following account is given of what is known as "The Butchers' Well," near Bakcrstown, Allegheny county, not more than two miles from tbe Butler County line, and which is creating considerable stir in oil circles just now. • Patrick Hannigban, a prosperous farmer of Highland township, Alle gheny county, is tbe pioneer of tbe Bakerstown oil pool. He was a mar ketmau arid frequently traded with the Pittsburg butchers. Somo time ago he became seized of the notion that there was a pool of oil under his farm. The nearest oil well, the way the crow Hies, was eight miles and his neighbors had little faith iu his ideas. But he had his theories and continued to present them to his butcher fri nds who had money, and to his neighbors who nad land. Finally nineteen butchers joined him and they formed a company, each contributing sf>oo, making a capital of SIO,OOO. L ases were secured of the most promising form until 1,040 acres were on record for the company. The lat ter agreed to drill four test wells. The members had faith that they would gud oil, but wero utterly sur prised when the first well yielded over 100 barrels per day. Oil was found at 1,725 feet. The well is believed to be supplied from the third sand, but many oporaVirs say it is from the fourth, while others claim the oil is "30-foot." However, the oil is beautiful in color, and the estimated yield of the well is from fif ty to i ix t y barrels per day. The National Transit Company has laid a line from the well to a six inch liut» about three miles distant. There are several wells located by operators not connected with the Butchers Company. Capt. Grace, once prominent in the oii trade, paid SSOO b cms for a twenty five-acre lease, which he was informed lay within a quarter ol a mile of the Butchers' well When he visited the scene he found his lease to be qhite a mile from the new producer. The Butchers are wonderfully elat ed. They mk $850,000 for their well and aere* of leases. There have been many oil producers visiting the well. 11' the oil is not from the "thir ty-foot" rock the territory will not command much bonus, but if it is third ol fourth sand oil, then tin; But cher-' boom will he indited.

The Dead Emperor. BERLIN, June It!— When E.nperor Frederick was dying. besides the family only Adjt. Gen lviscbe was a Imitied to the chamber. After four i o'clock Thursday afternoon the Kn peror filled numerous sheets of paper with remarks regarding family and State affairs. The new sovereiga calls himself Emperor William 11 and his cjusort Empress Victoria Augusta Immedi ately after d<*ath William placed his father's Iron Cross aud Order of Merit decoration ou the chest of the dead, together with a small gold chain, to which was attached a num ber of lockets and charms, and laid his father's sword by the side of tie body. Prince Henry brought a wreath of II jwers, and after the family had kiss ed the fact- aud feet of the corpse, the Prince gave his arm to his mother and led her from the chamber. As soon as he died the Crowa Prince gave whimpered orders to two adjutants, who left the room, and the standard on the castle was placed at half mast Another adjutant waved a handker chief to the sentinel-, and in less than three minutes Hussars bad galloped away in all directions, taking possess ion of every gate and the outer door of the cattle. In all parts of the park soldiers were soon conspicious. Strict instructions were given that nobody should be permitted to enter or leave except with fresh cards issued by the officials. Emperor William 11, has issued the following general order to the army: "While the army has only just discarded the outward signs of mournings for the Emperor—King William I, my deeply revered grand father, whot!e memory will ever live iu all hearts, it has suffered a fresh and heavy blow by the death of my dear and warmly loved father. "This ia indeed a serioug acd sor rowful time, iu which God's decree places me at the head of the army. It is from a deeply moved heart I address my first words to my army, but the I confidence with which I step into the place to which God's will calls me is immovably strong, for I know what sense of honor and duty my glorious ancestors have implanted iu the army, and I know in how great a measure this feeling has at all times been mani fested in the army. A fi r oi and invio lable attachment to the war lord is an inheritance handed d'>w:i from father to sou, from generation to generation, and in the same way I refer you to my grandfather, who stands fresh in all your memories as the personifica tion of the glorious and venerable war lord such as could not be more finely conceived or in a form more speakiug to the heart. I refer you to my be loved father who as Crown Prince al ready won a place of honor in the an nals of the army, and to a long line of glorious ancestors whose names shine brightly in history, and whose heart beats warmly for the ar my. Thus we belong to each other —1 aud the army. Thus we were bora for one another, aud thus we stand together in an indissoluable bond in peace or storm as God may will it. You will now take to me the oath ot fidelity and obedience, and I swear ever to remember that the eyes of my ancestors look down upon tno from the othef world, and that I shall one day have to render an net to benefit the glory and honor of the army. [Signed] WILLIAM. Bills Sent. We are, sending bills to those who arc in arrears iu their accounts with the CiTizKJf, and do so because we wish to improve the paper and need the money. Those therefore paying up now will not only be paying a debt, but paying to improve the paper they have been reading for years with out paying for. YVe hope these bills sent will re ceive the attention they shuuM. We arc sending only to those uho are several years back in their subscrip tion accounts, and which accounts they have suffered to run beyond a reasonable time. Payment of them now becomes necessary, to enable us to improve the paper aud pay our debts. —The latest from the Bukerstoan well says she is doing (JO barrels a day. —lt is our intention to clothe the CITIZEN with a dress of new type, as soon as possible. —The 17 year locusts and the grasshoppers threaten to visit certain places in the West at the same time, This will more than they feed. Hut misfortunes never come singly. —The ludiana, Pa, Mea&enyer says: The idea that "no license" makes a dull town, is all fulge. In diana has not bad a licensed house "for several years and there never was a time when more business was trans acted. Wheu W« had seven licensed houses at least S4OO per week were spent for beer and wlmky. That mo ney is now spent fur the necessaries of life and many families now have plenty to eat and good cloilus to wear who, under license, were half aud half clothed. Ami the curious part of it is that our hotel men appear to thrive as well without license as they did with it. They have more satisfaction in conducting their busi ness and are not harassed by th ; fear of prosecution aud are not in constant drttad of a drunken row Lhat will break up a hundred dollars worth of furni ture and generally demoralize their houses. One of our prominent land lords told us the other day ihat he 1 would rather close his house than conduct it in connection with a bar. Aud after an experience of several years, men who thought they could not possibly get along without their daily beer aud whisky, now tiud their appetite for the fiery liquid gone and they. too. ure sali.-fkd to livu in a 'no license' town. All things considered a town might be struck with some thing worse than prohibition. HSU A ~R/R,I EII3 Mnrriiu/c Xoticrs I'nhli&hctl I' rrc.
