In the first place, tbere were, a»-
we ftarted, 2 100 even vot»« cast in

per cent of tbe 2100 that have passed
•way. True this was 48 years ago—
near half a century—but it impresses
all wi.b tbe flight of tife and the
great changes in our county between
now and then.
In toe second place, this Presiden
tial campaign has recalled and reviy
ed all tbe memories and incidents ol I
that of 4 8 years ago. This arises
mainly from tbe fact that the name

Something About the West.
I'ENVEIt, Auo. 10, 'BB.
Kim. CITIZEN: —It is an interesting
ride and one full of many pleasant
comparifions and surprises—the ride
.'rom IVina. weat to the Rockey
mountains It makes an American
rejoice exceedingly for it shows him
-orri'jttiiijir of the wonder
of Li- country. And it pleases a cit
izen of Butler county lor it enables
nioi to «ee tLat the much praised and
highly cultivated sections of Il
linois ttutl lowa produce crops which
be may see equalled at home. And
it is a very good thing if he who
makes this trip is well acquainted
with the products of bis own county,
that he may compare them intelligent
ly with what he sees along the line
of travel.
I left Butler county in harvest for
the west. All the cultivated country
along the way was
iu harvest. and I arriv
ed in Colorado on the midst of har
vest. This gave me an excellent op
portnnity for comparison. Knowing
much about the harvest at home, I
I could see just how our grass and
grain compared with the grass that
was being cut, and the grain that
was ripening, in different parts of the
West. I looked most closely at wheat
I saw in the wonderful Mississippi
valley, for you know it is thought
that is the great garden of the coun
try. many there who know
something of Western Penna., think
that Butler county is one of the most
sterile regions in the whole country.
But when I had looked at fields of
timothy and clover aod oats, and re
membered that I had seen just as
good at home, I rejoiced over the fact
that I was born in Butler county,
and felt proud of what the farmers
there can do.
I can truly say that I saw no bet
ter timothy or clover in Illinois, and
lowa, than I saw at home. I believe
I have heard about heads of wastern
timothy being half as long as a man's
arm, or something else like that; but
people tell wonderful things about
the West, and you
would have to hunt a long time to
find timothy better any way than
some Butler county farmers
cut this year. And when one comes
from the east, and meets a farmer in
Illinois or lowa, who, boasting of his
beautiful timothy, and turning to you
with a little laugh that isn't pretty
at all, asks "did you ever see anything
like that I have in Pennsylvania?"
and vou reply, "yes sir, they are cut
ting just as good timothy as that in
Butler County," he looks at
you in astonishment and as much as
says,"l don't believe it."
I Lad great difliculity in convincing
western farmers that we in Penn'a
did cut good clover and good timothy.
And when I spoke to then of 40 and
50 bushels of oats to the acre,. are
said that 100 bushels of corn per acre
were no extraordinary crop, they
said, "if we didn't know who you are
we wouldn't believe you. "We nev
er imagined that such crops could be
raised in that poor old country
"Why, (and with a laugh) is'nt it
said that formerly crows had to carry
their dinners when flew across that
country?" "Maybe, I wasn't there
then, but now they stop to feast," I
replied You see, I knew that a far
mer in Butler connty had taken 160
bushels of corn off an acre, and that
other farmers often had more than
100 bushels per acre; and knowing
that, I was able to ppeak right out for
our glorious old county, aud to make
my auditors thiuk that maybe, alter
all, farmers could get along about as
easily there as in the West. So it
seemed then, so it seems now. I
think a farmer makes a mistake who
sells a good farm in Butler county
and comes West to bettor his lot.
Ten acres of good corn there is worth
more than twenty acres of good corn
in lowa, and so with oats, and hay.
Think of selling a double bushel of
corn for twenty cents, or a bushel of
oatß for fifteen cents, or a ton of hay
delivered, baled, at the depot, for four
dollars or four aod a half. And yet
that's just what farmers in lowa were
eager to do last year. Yerily Butler
couuty farmers need not be ashamed
of anything when they travel through
the West ; better stock thau is seeu
there is not seen in the West. I am
glad I am from Butler county, and I
hope I may live long to glory in
what the grand old county has done
and can do.
But it is a good thing for tbe peo
of the East to travel West. It gives
them a better idea than anything else
can, of the greatness and grandeur of
their country. America is full of sur
prises to tbe eastern peoplo, especial
ly to those who think that the great
ness of the country is in the East
llow such are ustonished at the im
mense distances they must travel to
see even hull of their country. How
they are surprised at the vast stretch
es of richest prairie, the wonderful
expitnse ot plain, aud mighty stupen
dous mouiitainr whose tops are miles
in the sky above the hills of tbe East.
Yes, it is a good thing for eastern
people to become acquainted with
this country by traveling over it
When they do so, they are very apt
to lose all their desire to be "Euglisb,
you know," or to insist that the Ger
mans' fatherland is comparable to
A merica
As we travel on, end on, and on,
through weary uights and interesting
days, we begin to realize,that there is
tru'.h iu the saying thai there is more
of the country west thau east of the
Mississippi; but we know that tbere
are two and half tunes as much west
when our journey has taken weeks
aud we have gone to the farthest
point west and from the north to the
south Intelligent eastern people are
slow to acknowledge that the
country must eventually be greatest
iu tbe west. Why, it is possible to
put aud sustain the population of tbe
whole country in one single western
state. Another western state, and
its adjoiuing territory, are longer than
all the New England aud rniddlo
states, with Ohio and Indiaua, and
eau support more people The west
is full of surprises to travelers from
the east. *
The nod houße in a (surprise; the he
roism of the frontier people ia a sur
prise, the fertility of what our fathers
knew as the 'Great Arnerian Desert'
is a surprise, arid the surprises con
tinue till one is lost in wondering ad
miration at the great, grand possibil
ities of his country, or overwhelmed,
awed iuto silence,if not devotion,as he
etanda in the presence of some stu
pendous peak, whose hoary summit
pierces the sky, and points to ilim in
whos infinite wisdom is goodness and
power; it haß all been formed for the
welfare of his children and his own
h.mor and glory. W. J*. S
Rejoice With Me.
KDH CITIZEN: A time of the re
joicing at fSix Points. Some years
ago a man lost a sheep from his flock;
he went into the wilderness, and
sought diligently till he found it; and
when he bad found it he comeih home;
and calleth together his friorids and
neighbors, saying unto them "rejoice
with me " Also a woman had some
money, and she lost it; the first thing
she thought of was to sweep the
house, and she found her money; and
calleth together her friends and neigh
borw;and said unto them "rejoice with
me." We believe her friends did re
joice with her. The greatest mani
festation of rejoicing that we have
wituensed in th's vicinity was at Six
Points, at tho hotel of Mr. and Mrs.
E. C. Parka, on the loth day of
August, 1888, when about one hun
dred and Beventy friends and neigh
bors assembled to rejoice with; and in
honor of Mr. Robert Crawford and
MTB. E. J. Scott who came from Kan
sas to vinit their friends in this neigh
borhood. Mr. Robert Crawford is a
son of James Crawford, who ia tho
oldest citizen of Allegheny township.
Mrp. E J. Scott is a daughter of Mr.
J >Beph Sloan, an aged citizeu of Ve
nanjjo Twp These aged fathers 1 f
the Ivausaa visitors are worthy nun.
They have alway been willing to re
joice with those who do rejoice; and
weep with those who weep; and help
those who need help. A sumptuous
feast was given on this occasion; as
the people approached the table, they
were rejoiced to see the copious sup
plies ot delicious cake and abundance
of eatables of every kind. After din
ner the meeting was called to order,
»and Mr. Henry Kohlmeyer was chosen
president aad John Thomas, secre
tary. The president stated the ob
ject of meeting; and called on Rev. J.
R Coulter who opened the meeting
with prayer. Rev. W. H Hover was
called on who made an able address,
followed by Rev. J. R. Coulter.
The president made the closing re
marks which were very appropriate
Quite a number of presents were pre
sented to the Kansas visitors. The
meeting was closed by singing
"Praise God from Whom all Bless
ings Flow," and benediction by Rev.
Hover. Mrs. E C. Parks, the land
lady of the Six Points hotel, is wor
thy of great praise for getting up this
grand party. The Kansas visitors
returns their sincere thanks to the
friends and neighbors for the kind
manner in which they met them on
this occasion Yours very truly,

GLADE MILLS, BUTLER. Co, PA., J
August Kith, 1888. y
J. H. NEIJLEY, ESQ:
DEAR SIR- —Seeing in your paper
a request to hear from the old timers
I would just say lam proud that I
voted for General Harrison in 1840,
and that I have been able to take
part in every political campaign since,
always ad vocating the same princi
ples,arid although living in Allegheny
Couuty at the time I was at the But
ler Convention held iu Graham's
Meadow that year aud have a dis
tinct recollection of some things that
were said, one in particular by law
yer, afterwards Judge Williams. In
eulogizing General Harrison on his
manly bearing and his military
achievements he said Harrison was a
man of giant proportions and could
wield a sword trracefully and with
power, whilst Van Buren was a little
fellow like himself, his sword would
get between his legs and throw him
down. One argument used was that
we as a nation had long been ruled
by t,h»* free trade principles of the
Southern aristocracy, aided by a class
of office seekers in the North who for
the hope of an office under their
Southern masters would persist in
persuading the rcuks aud file of our
voters to vote airainst their owu in
terests aud that of their friends and
neighbors. In those times they were
called Doughfaces and Lick Spittles.
Auotber argumuut was that the then
growing North was largely in the
ascendancy in numbers aud also in
wealth, paying by fur the greatest,
part of the expenses of the govern
ment. Hence it was deemed but just
to assert our rights, lift the reins of
Government aud rule the nation iu
the interest of the majority of the
people aud nobly it was doue. But
southern ambition for the ruling pow
er was not so easily conquered They
managed to have two strings to their
bow. They had General Tyler on
the ticket for Vice President and at
the death of President Harrison ho
became President, and true
Southerner and true to free trade
principles, hurled us back under the
lash and kept us there for twenty
long years more. Aud well do we
remember the hard times they gave
us by their tariff tinkering. And now
a word to the voters in the present
campaign. To the leaders iu the
party opposing protection I have
nothing to say because I believe it
would be of no use. They have been
led into the position they uow occupy
by following the leading strings of
their predecessors. They have Bpent
their time aud their means in the
party and they are expecting office
there, and it is hard to say just how
far the expectation of the honors and
emoluments of an oflice iu the State
or eveu the township may tro in blind
ing their eyes to the interest ot the
section of Country they live in. But
to those who are not office seekers
we say you lire the men who can
carry this elee'.iou Then take the
advice of oue who has been voting
for fifty years and vote for the prin
ciples that will us home manu
facturing, home markets, an indepen
dent nation and a prosperous aud
happy people. J. B. MAIIAN.
