FOWLER CAMPBELL, of Falrvlew t<vp. We we sorry to hear of tbe ac cident to oar friend James Campbell, Esq . of Greenville, I'* , and formerly of this connty, and hope his injuries mar not prove serious. A a account of tbe arcideot happening him -will be seen in place. THROUGH the courteous invitation, contained in the Hermld of last week, we visited on Monday last tbe Dem ocratic Club room of this place, to see a picture or pencil e ketch, ma !j i by a voung lady friend and artist of our tewn. The picture repreee;,:s a laboring man bearing a large sa :k of wool, or something else, up in his! •boulders, and upon th« top of tb-3 1 sack sets a rnin designated a 4 tba manufacturer, aid this beirijf all in tended to illustrate the burdens uf tbe labtriEg nao. Tbe la te President Lincoln was ic the habit of using the word as, when he was comparing anything. "As a man." or "as a picture," be would aay. So we say of this sketch; as a picture it is very good aad clever, •od we feel like encouraging the ar-, tiat in her efforts. We are always j the friend of art, in any form or place. Much art is, however, the ! work of the imagination, "fan<:y ] sketches." And if tbis was the ob ject in the case of this picture the ar tist has succeeded well. Bat the French have a maxim that saya, "there is nothing beautiful but what is true." Applying this maxim to j this sketch none of onr laboring men would accept or recognize it as mean- i ing them. For in fact wc are nearly all laboring men or people. Applied to foreign countries, where labor is cheap and wages low, the picture would hare much more reality and significance. Labor is honorable in this country. And ttrough the ef-, forts of the Republican parly it has • and will be protected. A3 witness the efforts just now being made by the Republicans to prevent the Dem ocrats from reducing the tariff, which proteeta labor as well a- capital, but ; both of which would be seriously af fected if the free trade doctrines of i the Democrats in Congress prevailed ud their Mills bill l»ecame a law. Of all places therefore we think the ; picture in question is out of place in its present one. But, maybe, there is a joke conceal ed in ail this, and we think we have "catcbed on to it," aa the boy a aay It mar be a piece of dry humor on the pan of the artist in (-.ending it to tbe Democratic Headquarters for ex hibition. It may give them a hint they ought to take, and cease their efforts to reduce tbe condition and wages of tbe laboring men of this country to the level of that of the old countries, as will be the case if we cease to protect our own homes, workshops and mills from foreign la bor and foreign importations. In thia vjew then the aly wit of tbe ar tist may do much good, by aettiug tbe Democrats to thinking. It ia to be hoped so, aad that they will soon learn enough to enable them to re move tbe beam < wool; now in or over | their own eyes before they go any further io their tariff tinkering. Tbey will then be in better shape than now to give advice, aud thia picture will have done a good work, here at least. A Most Serious Danger. "When we conaider the patronage ] of tbis great office, the allurements of ( power, tbs temptation to retain piare once gained, and, more than ail, Un availability a party linds in au in< um bent whom a horde of o(lineholders, with a seal born of benefits received aad fostered by the hope of favors yet to come, stand ready to aid with ■loney and with trained political ser vice, we recognize in the eligibility of the President for re-election a moat serious danger to that calm, deliber ate, and intelligent political action which must characterize a Uov«-rn- Beit by the people " — Grorrr (J! rn laid, in hi A lellt-r tif ucMjttanct', 1884." And yet in the face of the above be did rn-k aud accept u re nom inal ion in 1888. The Late Davkl Dougal, E*q. In looking over some old papers the other day we found a photograph likeness of the late Mr. Dougal. Considering the many fine build ogH that are bein/, or recently have been, erected on the places w h»-re the old sbtnties htood on his two Diamond corner lots, we concluded that, his picture might now be a mutter of public interest. A friend hus it who will have the photograph en larged for that purpose and placed in a show window of ono of the new buildings. It was given us August 26, 1873, near liiteen years ago, mid he stated then that he would bo 95 years of age on the following 2.'ird of September. Were be now living he would therefore be 110 years of age on September 23, next. He died about eight years ago, aged near 102. The Sheep And the Goats. IN tbe lower House of Congress on Monday last a test vote was reached on the wool item iu the Mills bill. The bill puts wool on the free li.-t and an amendment offered by the Re ! publicans to take it from the Ireo list was defeated by a vote of 102 for the amendment to 120 against it. Ail against it were Democrats r-ave three, one, Sowdeu, of Pa , aud Wiikins and Foran, of Ohio. Mills, it is reported, fairly danced with joy at the result Hut his joy will not be Ion?. Wool, we predict, will never be put on a free list. The wool interest of the United States is too important a one for tbe people ever to suffer it to go unpro i tected against the cbean wools of i ° other countries. This Mills bill may pas* in the Democratic House, but it will not in tbe Republican Senate. Mark that. And so the country will be saved from the proposed reckless destruction of this great home inrins ! try, in which Butler county farmers J are so deeply interested. The sheep | wiil yet remain oa tbe right, aud the j goats will go to the left, after this ! fall's election. The following are the proceedings in Congress on the wool item : I !AN AMENDMENT TAKINC WOOL TILOM THE FREE LIST DEFEATED. WASHINGTON, D. C., July 10.— j This has been by far the most impor tant day on the Tariff bill since Mr Mills first introduced it in the House Thirty three pages were disposed of, ' aDd bat eight pages now remain until | a final vote can be taken. It was a r well understood fact on Saturday that a vote on the wool clause would be ' i reached some time to-day, aud that vote has all aiong l>een conceded a I test of the vote for or against the bill- As a consequence both partiss mur i shalled full forces at the Capitol to day, and the House for the first time in weeks had nearly every seat filled. The galleries, too, were crowded, not withstanding the fact that a vote was by no meaus a certainty. When the leaders became assured that a vote would be reached, mes sengers were seat out by both sides ; to bring in the members." The vote was reached on Beriah Wilkinn' amendment to strike out the clause placing wool ou ibe free list. o'i ao aye and no vote, tLe Chair decided that the noes had it. Tellers were demanded by Mr. Iti-ed, and that gentleman and Chairman Mills were appointed for their respective sides. Tbe work of the messengers was evi denced by the appearance of members who now begao to pour in from the lobbies and cloak rooms. Many mem bers stood by the tellers in the vacant space in front of the Speaker's desk, and kept tally of the vote as their colleagues passed between the tellers • When the re.-ult was announced, H)2 for and 120 against the amendment, Democrats let go one wild yell ol ap plause. HOW THEY VOTED. Mr. Mills was so tickled that, hi al most cut a pigeon-wing. Speaker Carlisle voted, and he. too, gave grtat evidence of satisfaction. Three Dem ocrats refused to obey the party whip and betray the interests of their coa stituents. These are Beriah Wiikins and Mr. Foran, of Ohio, and Mr Sowden, of Pennsylvania. There was a surprise for tbe Democrats when Congre.- nan Kuut" Nelson, of Minnesota, vote has always been e uatcd for the . tills bill, roted with his party. A number of hi- Republican colleagues congratulated him upon Lis action. Mr. Fitch, of New Vork, was absent. Had he been preterit Uis probable bis vote would have been cast with the »se publicans. Mr. Mcrriman, of New Vork, however, was in tie building, and, although notified by messeuger, paid d i attention to tho &ummoi'.s Ife, too, would have voted with the Republicans. Mr. Vance, of Connec ticut, and Mr. MeAdoo, of Nuw Jer sey, who have teen considered as doubtful Democrats, marched in with the rest of the free-trade <ro wd and voted for that issue. Speuker Carlisle was seen to night and made no attempt to hide his satisfaction at the result of the vote to-day. THE English Lutherans of this place will picnic at Slippery rock Park uu next Thursday, July 20. "Monopoly."

Harrison will ! certainly bu stronger in Icdiaaa than I Blaine was four years ago, and the ; death of Mr, Hendricks has deprived ] ! ibe Democracy of that state of its j most conspicuous, respected aad efficient leader. At the last state election in Indiana, that of 1880, the Democrats were beaten by 3324. The 15 electoral votes of would leave Republicans within four ; of the number required to elect, j These are expected from the state of ! Connecticut, which has always been J remarkably close, aad which was car ried by Mr. Cleveland in 1881 by a meagre plurality of 1284, with a I'ro bibitiun vote of SitU, tbe-greater por- j tioo of which will probably fall back | into the Republican column this year, j Connecticut is a high tariff state, and i went against Hancock ia 1880 by | 2050 Should tbe Republicans sue ! ceed, either by good management -<r by tbe projecliou of tbe tariff issue, i in securing th'} electoral votes of Cou necticut, thev will have more thaa a| majority and will be Blithely indepen- ( dent of New York.

Mr. Morion Notilied. PoiXtUKKEi'SIE, July 8. —Tbe car- Merietta, oocupid by the commit tee to notify Levi I*. .Morton of Lis nomination, was attached to the New York Central depot at 10:30 o'clock Saturday morning. Soon after start- Secretary Dougherty convened 1 the committee for a meeting on ways and menus, i>ud each member of the committee then de i posited with the Secretary hie pro rata share of the expense of transpor tation. The time of the trip was consumed iu discussing the political situation, l'rom I'oughkeepsie the I trip was continued to Rhinebeek, where tho committee was met by a | local committee and amid cheering : and booming of cannon escorted to the Huntington place, where Mr. Morton is liviug. Mr. Morton, arrayed in black ; clothes looking in splendid health, stood in the centre of his drawing poom and received the committee, i Mrs Morton, handsome and elegant ly attired, stood beside her husband during the notification ceremony. Mrs. Morton's mother, Mrs. Street, | and her brother. W. D. Street, and a | number of friends of the family, were grouped in the rear. The speeches were short and to the point. Chair man Estee, clad in a black frock coat, wearing a Harrison and Morton ! badge, was ushered into the drawing room and advanced to within a few feet of Mr. Morton. Immediately be hind came the other members of the i committee. Chairman E-Jtee deliver -led the address of notification, to which Mr. Mo.'ton replied, as follows: "I am profojndly sensible of the honor which has been conferred upon me by the National Republican Con vention recently in session at Chica go, and thank you, gentlemen, for the courteous and complimentary terms in which you have officially announc ed my nomination as the Republican candidate for the Vice Presidency. I am also deeply sensible of the : honor conferred upon the Slate of New York in the selection of a citizen of this Suite as one of the standard bearers ia the approaching' peaceful conflict of the two great political pur ties of the country for supremacy and the governmental control. New York represents in a large decree the busiuess interests of ail those over t/rowing and wider spreading commu nities of varied interests and indus tries which it is is mission of the Re publican party to foster and protect. The platform, so wisely adopted at Chicago, has this mission boldly in view, and by its enunciation of these principles makes the issue of the com ing campaign clear and distinct. I accept the position tendered by the convention of which you are the hon ored representatives!, and wiil in due time address to you, Mr. Chairman, an official communication to that ef lect." Alter Mr, Morton bad finished speaking he invited his visitors to luncheon, which was ready to be seryed on the balcony at, the South side of ihe house. The view from the balco ny is a beautiful one. liich wooded laud extends as far as the eye can see and at the bottom of a valley a brook bubbles along. In the distance the Catskill Mountains stand in promi nence. Mr Estce gave a toast, "The next Vice President," to which Mr. Morton gracefully replied. The party then re entered their carriages and were driven to Ellerslie, where they bad u delightful time inspecting Mr Morton's new park, and returned to the city at 6 o'clock last evening. Timely Definitions. A Protectionist is a revenua-re-for mer who proposes firs* to take oil' the internal revenue taxes and to bring the Government back to the sources of revenue which were relied upon previous to the civil war; and after that he would revise the Tariff, al ways with the principle of Protection uppermost. A Free-Trader is a revenue reform er who proposes lirst of all to reduce the Tariff duties on foreign goods and to maintain the internal revenue tax es untouched. The revision of the Tariff he would put through with the principle of l'ree Trade with foreign nations uppermost. By steadily pur suing this policy, nil strictly Protect ive duties would be swept away in the course of about twenty years, and the country brought substantially to iuterna! taxation as its permanent mode of reyenue. This would Mb equivalent to Free Trade. The man who claims to be a pro tectionist and yet proposes to main tain the internal revenue taxes un changed, and to begiu revenue reform by smashing the Tariff, is either un der a delusion himself regarding his own opinions, or is seeking to delude others. The man who claims to be a Free- Trader, yet proposes before making change in the Tariff to first re duce the internal revenue tax'js, is a sort of a inJn we have never seen; and of his existence there is as yet no evidence. It ib just as well that these distinc tions should be understood exactly as they are. There is no use in any falsi pretenee or misleading represen tation about the subject'—fix. An Editor Flops.

CHICAGO, duly 17 —By bold and timely action inspector Honfield this morning probably saved the lives of himself and .Judges Gary and ! Grianell. Iu a small frame house iu the vic inity of Ashland avenue and Tftirty | third street were found twelve dyna | mite bombs, a revolver and a knife, ! and as the owner of the articles step \ ped 10 the sidewalk he was arrested !by ii mli-jid iu p.-rs >n and taken to ' the police station. Two other arrests j were made later. When questioned as to what the i prisoners intended to do, Inspector i Bonfield confined himself to saying: ' There was a conspiracy of long ! slfindinsr ami it was about to be put I into execution. They intended to use the dynamite oa Judge Garey, ' .Judge Grinned and myself." The chief prisoner is an old-time ! Anarchist, and was prominent in the schemes of llavmarket times. Before j making the first arrest, Bonfield had : tbe houjo surrounded by five picked ' officers. Just as daylight was break iag the Inspector was joined in the ! vicinity by a stranger, and in a few ; moments later a man emerged from the house. Tne stranger nudged Bonfield, and au order was given to j tbe men, who closed* on the man He made a desperate fight, but was ! quickly overpowered and placed in | charge of two of the officers. Bonfield and the other officers then rushed into the house. They were | met on tbe stairs by a woman, the wife of the man \v ho had be?n captur i ed, but she was put aside and the po | iice, gnided by the stranger, entered a hull bedroom where, hidden iu a corner, tho Inspector found an even dozen dynamite cartridges wrapped in brown paper. A further search of the room disclosed, hidden in a bed, a revolver and a dagger. Some buodies of letters and other papers, which were taken care of by the pol ice, were also found. Then a patrol wagon was called and the prisoner was taken to the station. The officers next went to the house some distance away, which it wa3 supposed was 3016 (Juinn street. Here the two other arrests made and all three captives taken to the Contra] Station. Inspector Bonfield is reported to have said privately that the plot was a well arranged one. About twenty determined murderers were in the conspiracy, and they were, at a cer tain hours after midnight to-night, to j be at the homes of Griunell, Garey, Bonfield, Frank Walker, General Stiles and others prominent in the prosecution of the Anarchists. Dyn amite was to be placed beneath the houses of these and the powerful ex plosive was to be touched off simul taneously. The Board of Trade wa3 to be blown to the sky at the same time and a a reign of terror inaugura ted. The Everhart Murder. John S. Everhart, husband of the murdered Mrs. Everhart, had a pre liminary hearing before Justice T. J. Payne, in Paint township, Clarion county, last Monday, charged with being an accessory to this mysterious crime. There was a great crowd of people present Dan Everhart, his | son, and James Horner, Dan's friend, are now in Clarion jail, having been held to answer for the murder. Eight different persons have been ar rested for this crime. After the wo men were murdered the house was ransacked, and several hundred dollars taken, a portion of which was money belong ing to tho county in the custody of John S. Everhart, who was a county official. Eyerhart, the man whose bearing took place, has had two dif ferent men arrested lor the crime. There was a sensation epioode at the jail last week, in which one of these men, 11, 11. Wilson, took a leading part. After Everhart hud been placed in a cell by Sheriff Wheelock, Wilson called to see him and was admitted to the corridor ol the jail. (Joing up to Ever hart's cell, he called tho prisoner up to tho bars and exclaimed: "There you are atlast, old fellow' and it s where you to have been two years ago. You bad me dragged aivay from my fami ly and had mo locked up for killing your wife, when you knew all the while that your own son Dan killed her aud that your mother-in law aud .you planned the job." Wilson was taken away, but not before he had poured out a great deal of invective upon tho head of the man who had caused his arrest. It was shown that Everhart was iu Fryburg, several miles distant, when the murder was committed, but his arrest was based on alleged facts that indicated'u conspiracy between him, his son Dan and Horner to get tho t.vo women out of the way. Young Everhart and Horner were working ne.tr tho houso all forenoon on the day of the killing, and they haye not yet been able to uccount lor them selves between 12 aud 2 o'clock, when the murder was committed. Tho woineu were killed by having their throats cut in thv moat ghastly manner, their heads being half sev ered from their bodies. Tho trial of t he two young men, which will begin in August, will be watched with ex traordinary interest. .John Everhart's hearing proved a very sensational affair, but the evi dence against him was very lllmsoy and he was discharged from custody. The tragedy, therefore, remains as much ol a mystery as ever. A Midnight Execution. CoMi.MUUK, ()., July 1:5.

At about 10 o'clock a m , ! people began traveling the road be tween North Washington and Bruin. The tide kept up until after noon, by which time several hundred (250) i people had dined sumptuously under an arched canopy alongside the farm house of Mr. and Mrs Dixon Birt ley; tbe many friends bavin? met to help them celebrate their golden wed ding. After the feast tbe Bruin cor net band discoursed some fine music. Tbe citizens called J. W. Orr to act as chairman of the meeting aud H. S. Daubenspeck to act as secreta ry- J. W. Orr spoke of the kindly feel ing in friends meeting together, show ing tbe regard bad for those we meet and greet. Rev. Fidler, of North Hope, con gratulated Mr and Mrs Bartley on their anniversary; spoke of the time when such a meeting was looked up on as lost time; hoped tbe time speut would make us all happier and better. Rev. Hazlett, of North spoke of this as a model meet'ig, a great family home gathering, snowing how we love each other—better than we think; we should rejoice with those that rejoice, and also sympathize with each o>her in the trials of life. 11. S. Daubenspeck spoke of Mr. and Mrs. Bartley as being good citi zens and kind neighbors; also warned the young folks present to be careful in choosing partners for life, and not allow themselves to be caught by out ward adornments, as they were not so lasting as true love. Rev. Decker made tbe presentation of the many gifts to the aged couple, wishing them a bright future; spoke of the pleasaut occasion; urged all to try and help make lifo brighter. The band again played while many congratulated the old couple. The young men then engaged in a game of base ball. Mauy remained for supper. A party was held at night and everything passed off to the satisfaction of all present. Dixon Bartley is now nearly 80 years old and was born in Cumber land county. Pa , and is a descendant of Robert Bartley, who came to the lower part of Butler county in 1811, and from County Tyrone, Ireland in 1803. Mrs. D. Bartley is G8 years old.

They have lived together 50 jiears, having 7 children living and 6 dead. 11. S. DAUHKNSPKCK, Sec'y. EDS. CITIZEN : Your issue of last week, July 13, 1888, just brought to my notice. It is apparent from an article in its col umns that dog-days are approaching, for in it coming events cast their shadows before. Who is the more affected, you or the subject that vents his spleen through your instrumen tality agaiusi local Roman Catholics and Lutherans in general, aud St. Mark's Church in particular, it would puzzle a 7 to 8 Commission to tell. However, Messrs. Editors", if you or your sheet mean to insinuate, that tbe pastor of St. Mark's Church is one of the alledged such as "insulted ladies who approached them on the temperance question"—then, sir, say it like a uiau—and face the music! Yourß truly, E. CUONENWETT. Bdtleu, I' a , July 18, 1888. [ Regarding the above we Lave on ly to say that the communication of lust woek, to which it refers, appear ed in the Citizen as a communica tiou and under the usual head as such. It was in answer to one of the week before relating to the posi tion and action of certain churches on tho temperance quustion and appear ed us is our usual custom in admit ting replies to former communica tions, especially when they relate to matters of public interest. We have no personal knowledge of the action of the churches alluded to ou the temperance question, and therefore expressed no opinion of our own, but our coiumus are open to all fair and proper replies on proper subjects. In this case we think that our friend, Rev. C'rouenwett, hardly does him self justice in the nature and st) le of the reply he makes to au "Earnest Enquiry. ' Hut as to that part ol it relating to tho conduct of ministers towards ladies approaching them on the temperance question we can say, and take pleasure iD saying, that we believe Rev. C'rouenwett incapable of any such action. So far as we have kuown him it is as that of a gentle man in all respects. And, us far as wo are able to state, we believe the communication of lust week was not intended to ulludc to him, or to any other minister at present iu this place, either Lutheran or otherwise. And this we say ' like a man," and without anj reply or allusion to tho "dog days" which it is possible are affecting others more than our selves.] Coal Oil Johnny Dead. Huiiunuton, N. Y.. .Inly 15.

Well, Frankie, I'veju>t been thinkiug oyer My chance of a re-election, And I cannot say that I feel in clover, 1 For my record is not what you'd call perfec tion : | I have t>eeu comparing his record with miue, Beu Harrison's record I meau, j And Frankie, 1 tell you, it's surprisingly fine, j While mine, to sty the least, is not clean. When old Fncle Sam called loudly for men, You see, I hadn't the saad To shoulder a musket like old honest Ben, And fight for this glorious land: On many a hard contested field, By many a gallant deed, He won a fame that will victory yield,— A fame which I sorely need. What did 1 do ? well, I stayed at home, And I hung a man or two; — But I hadn't the nerve in the South to roam With the gallant boys in blue. Then there's other mistakes I have m ule I ween, That will make the people kick. Then there's that one term letter of mine you've see a, I tell you, Frankie, it makes me sick. But don't be angry, Frankie, dear, I was very young you see, — "How old," did you say * Well, my memo ry's not clear, But I think about forty-three. If the Republicans had chosen James ti. Blaine, I think I'd have had a show, • For I defeated the grand old man from Maine In the election four years ago. Then I can't hoodwink the people again With the cry of reform, don't you see t For the conutry is full of competent men That's been ousted from office by me. There's been so mauy pension bills vetoed That the soldiers are dangerously hot. Darn the luck; it seems I might have knowed These things would not soon be forgot. As Ben is a veteran he is sure of their vote, And there's quite a few thousand of these, By the great bandanna I forgot here to note What a hokt of the Sons of the Vs. Then I thought some votes in the South I'd gain By ordering the North to return Their flags to their traitorous owners agaiu But my order was angrily spurned. This Harrison will be a hard man to defeat, This soldier who takes for his bauutr The stars and stripes, they'ie surer to meet With success than a worthless faded ban danna. But, Fraukie, if it should be we have to leave This place to make room for brave Ben, I think the people of Buffalo woulii receive Me back as their sherifi' agaiu, T. V.SMITH. SAXONBURG, July, 1888. James Campbell Hurt. A dispatch from Greenville dated last Wednesday said: As James Campbell, an oil producer, well known in Butler and Mercer coun ties, was crossing the Kew York, Pennsylvania & Ohio railroad this morning, be was struck by a locomo tive aud dragged thirty feet. Mr. Campbell is over 70 years of age, and it is thought the injuries will prove fatal. —One of the pipes of the Standard Oil Company, tbat takes oil from the petroleum regions of Pennsylvania to New York, a distance of 400 miles, recently burst in Vernon township, Sussex County, N. J. Before the mischief was discovered the soil in the vicinity of the broken pipe be came saturated and poisoned with crude oil, aud ruined for the present. A large quautity of oil flowed into the neighboring streams, and the fishes died by thousands. It is Baid the farmers will britig suits for dam ages against the Standard Oil Com pauy, for injures'sustained by this oil flood: —lt is the intention, we under stand, to have all the persons who voted for William Henry Harrison in 1840, meet in Butler some time dur ing the campaign, when it is propos ed to give the old fellows a grand blow out. We would be pleased to have the uames of all such, with their postoffice address, sent to this office as soon as possible. We desire to make a record of all such for future reference and will publish the names of all received. —A physician t Links that a law should ba made to prohibit tho use of galvanized iron letnou&de squeezers. H« says that every time a lemon is squeezed in one of theße machines the acid of the lemon, coming in con tact with the zinc, dissolves the name and forms a poisonous salt.
