DoWn With the Internal Reve
nue.
IJTSTEAD of tinkering at the tariff, we
would like to see our representatives at
"Washington go to work 'on the Internal
Revenue, as we believe it to be a curse to
the Nation.
It was a war measure and we see no
necessity for continuing it. It has foster
ed monopoly and made millionaires of the
Gnckenheimers and Lorillards. It has
made the liquor business —its manuiac
ture, the wholesaling and the retailing of
it— the best paying business in tho coun
try; and it is the cause of such universal
adulteration of whisky that it is said to be
impossible to get a glass of pure liquor at
the bar of any hotel in the forty states.
The tax on grain alcohol, now imposed
by the National Government is SI.BO per
gallon. Grain-aleohol is used in preserv
ing all the tinctures used as medicine, and
this tax trebles the price of nearly all tho
medicines used. A bottle of spirits of cam
phor, for instance, for which we now pay
75 and SO cents could be sold by the drug
gists with a better profit at 25 cents, if
this tax was removed. It makes a monop
oly of the manufacture of whisky—a poor
man cannot now go into tho business; he
has not the money to pay the tax.
It causes adulteration—the price is made
so high by the tax that both wholesalers
and retailers adulterate the liquor, and
the consumer pours a liquid into himself
that creates an intense desire for more and
finally makes him an imbecile.
The liquor business as it stands to-day
is a curse to the Nation, and tho Internal
Revenue is its foundation. An effort
should be made immediately to repeal the
law, and any Republican voting against it
should be blacklisted, for it should bo tak
en for granted that he has Guckenheimer
or liorillard money in his pocket. Tho
majority of the Democratic members
would probably vote against its
repeal, as they waut to keep
up the surplus in the treasury, so that
they can howl for free trade. The men
who have made millions under the Inter
nal Revenue will fight hard against its re
peal, and that is a very good reason for
its repeal. What is so very good for the
few, is an evil to the many.
THB payment by Oliver Bros. <fc Phil
lips of an indebtedness of $1,500,000 in
five years, is an indication that there is
money in the iron and steel business il
properly managed.
THE first holocaust of the season was
reported from Glendale, a suburb of Cin
cinnati, last Friday. A vestibuled train
ran into an accommodation, the car stoves
set fire to tho wreck, and four persons
were burned to death.
NOT the least useful lesson to be drawn
from Judge Kelly's life is this: that he
went to Congress a poor man and died a
poor man. We are as often told in these
times that poor men haye no show of go
ing to Congress that it is refreshing to
have such a refutation of this doleful clam
or as his public life affords, lie was rear
ed on the lap of hard aud grinding poverty
and he made his way to the front solely
by force of his brains.
Teach the Elements of Morals.
Seldom has a public utterauce of a cler
gyman met with so hearty and general
a response as Dr. Howard Crosby's I'rcsby
terian Union speech of last week against
the teaching of any sectarian or theologi
cal religion in the public schools. There
resides in the State no right to tax a He
brew, a Mohammedan or an agnostic for
the support of schools in which oven the
broadest kind of Christian theology is
taught, and to impose such a tax would
suggest, first a division of tho proceeds
among religious sects, and the end of all
practical public control of the schools
which were founded to teach the elements
of citizenship. The only religion which
can justly be taught in the common
schools is the religion of humanity, the
obligations of moral duty toward our fel
low men. Elementary moral science
should be taught even in the primary
schools, instead of being at the top
of the course, to which but few public
school pupils attain. —N. Y. Press.
IT is a sad demoralizing feature of the
influenza epidemic in Paris, that ladies
and gentlemen very partial to alcohol es
cape, while those leading temperate lives
are the worst sufferers. Physicians not
ing this immediately advised the uso of
warm alcoholic drinks, with the result
that 15,000 persons were arrested in the
streets within three days for drunkenness.
Of this number 1,200 declared that they
were simply following tho treatment pre
scribed for influenza.
Senator Brice.
The election of Brice in Ohio has been
accomplished, and the probabilities are
that there will be no opposition to his ad
mission to the Senate. He is a shrewd
man of business and has not entered upon
this speculation without being well assur
ed that there would bo a follow feeling
for "hi m among the millionaires of the Sen
ate, and although an "inhabitant" of the
state of New York, ond not of the state
he proposes to represent as is required by
the Constitution the probabilities are that
during the next six years his name will
stand as one of the Senators from thr.i
Commonwealth. His election, however,
is unfortunate, not only for the country,
bnt for the Democratic party, of which he
is a distinguished leader. Democrats
claim for themselves great devotion to
the Constitution, are the strictest sort of
constructionists, and how they can excuse
this violation of one of their most revered
principles it is difficult to understand.
And if Cleveland does not bring upon
himself condemnation for tho part lie has
taken ho can be accounted very lucky.

THE claim a wholesale grocery house of
St. Louis recently made against the South
Shore Railroad brought to light the fact
that, at least in some quarters, dirt under
the name of terra alba is being used in
candy to almost an incredible extent. It
was a half dozen barrels of lozenges made
by a Boston house that had been shipped,
the claim being that they had been dam
aged in transit. The railroad company
sent samples of the lozenges to a chemist,
who discovered them to consist ''entirely
of terra alba bound together with a little
gelatine or gum." Investigation showed
them to yet require dipping in
ups flavorid with peppermint, Wiiiter
green, sassafras, and the like, before ready
for infantile consumption. Now, terra al
ba is a mineral utterly insoluble in the sali
va or gastric juice—a dangerous com
pound to put within even a healthy stom
ach; and when the railroad company
learned this they refused pay any damages,
and the grocery house, fearing exposure,
ceased to press the elaim. The Hoard oj
Trade Journal of Portland, Mo., says that
0,000 tous of terra alba were recently
imported through the port of New \ ork
alone.
THE rep.rt made at a meeting in Phila
delphia last week of the work done by
the Johnstown Flood Relief Commission
will go down in history as a memorial of
one of the greatest charities known to hu
manity. Of the millions received and dis
tributed by tho Commission, every penny
has been accounted for. The successful
handling of so large a sum with so little
friction and loss merits the highest praise
and the widest recognition.
The avalanche of water had hardly
ceased rushing down the Conemangh A al
ley when a stream of charity began to
flow in for the relief of the sufferers. It
reached a volume which is probably un
paralled in modern charities for prompt
ness and magnitude. The great heart of
tho country seemed to be touched as it
never had been touched before, and au
swering contributions flowed out gener
ously. The sums which passed through
the Commission's hand's do not begin to
cover the total given. It is probable that
if the public and private contributions
were known that they would aggregate at
least $5,000,000.

(Correspondence of Pittsburg limes.)
FREEPOBT, PJ.. Jan. 21.—At a meeting
of the Butler Presbytery, of the U. P.
Church, held here to day. the Rev. A. 1?.
C. McFarland, former pastor at Fairview,
Butler county, and one of the most talent
ed of United Presbyterian ministers, was
expelled from the church.
To day's proceedings were the culmina
tion of the domestic troubles which aroso
between Mr. and Mrs. McFarland about
two years ago. They originated on ac
count of alleged unseemly conduct on the
part of the voung preacher and his wife.
Mrs. McFarland, who is a member of a
well-known Allegheny family, left her
home because, as she alleged, her husband
had abused her. Mr. McFarland in his
pulpit the following Sunday admitted that
he had struck his wife, but claimed justi
fication. and intimated that her conduit
had not been proper on all occasions.
A KISS IN" THE lIABK.
An investigation by outsiders showed
that Mrs. McFarland's deportment had
been unexceptionable, unless the fact that
while out with a sleighing party of which
Mr. McFarland was .. member she had kiss
ed her partner, might be charged up
against her. The inquiry also developed
the fact that Mr. McFarland was a man of
violent temper and a liberal drinker for a
man of the eloth. Later there was a church
investigation, which censured Mr. and Mrs.
McFarland, but recommended no further
action. Interest was kept alive by the
kidnapping of their children by Mrs. Mc-
Farland. while hei husband was away from
home one day. Since then Mrs. McFar
land and the children have lived in Alle
gheny.
After the kidnapping of the children it
was thought by Mr. McFarland's friends
nothins more would be heard of the
tumble, but the matter was still so gener
allv talked about that it was on the verge
of "an investigation by the Presbytery.
Then, to the surprise of many, Mr. Mc-
Farland resigned, giving as a reason that
he wished to retire temporarily from min
isterial work. The subject nevertheless
went into the hands of a committee elect
ed from the members of the Butler Presby
tery. The Rev. J. P. Davis was made
chairman.
At the meetiug of the committee and
Presbytery at New Brighton, about four
months ago, tho chairman stated thut they
had found and investigated grave charges
against the minister. Final action on the
case was postponed.
A SIGN OF WHAT WAS COMIXG.
The meeting of the Presbytery opened
this morning at!) o'clock, in the Second U.
P. Church, with the Rev. J. J. Imbrie as
Moderator. The lirst subject to come be
fore the meeting was the selection of dele
gates to the General Assembly. Of the
four names which came in o&ler on the
list for delegates to tho General Assembly,
one was that of A. B. C. McFarland. T.iis
circumstance being announced by the Sec
retary, a general hum of conversation
arose.
A member ot the committee, without
rising, moved that the name of Mr. Mc-
Farland be taken out of the list. The mo
tion was immediately seconded and it was
suggested that the name next on the list
should be substituted. A lively wrangle
followed, but it was in the meanwhile pro
posed tc send the Rev. J. J. Imbrie to the
Assembly in place of the Rev. McFarland.
Wheu order was restored, the Rev. J.
P. Davis, Chairman of the Investigating
Committee, arose. lie said he did not. like
to speak on the matter, but thought it only
proper that Mr. McFarland's name should
not be taken from the list of candidates for
the time being, as he (McFarland) had not
yet been expelled from the Presbytery. He
thought a consistent course should be fol
lowed, namely, that if the Presbytery
found cause, it should regularly expel tne
Rev. McFarland.
AS EXECUTIVE SESSION*.
This was hardly done when several mem
bers clamored for a reconsideration of the
whole question and for its further consider
ation in executive session. The members
of the Presbytery had just discovered that
several strangers were in the room. A
gray-haired member, who appeared to
think that the whole affair should be acted
upon in the regular monner, saw fit to ob
ject and asked the Moderator to inquire
whether the investigating committee had
anything in particular to report. The sec
retary of the committee replied that there
was not much more to report beyond that
which the Presbytery knew already. He
said that a commendable effort had been
made to further investigate the charges
against Rev. Mr. McFarland. A meeting
had been held, but a majority not being
there, the rest had quietly gone home after
considering the matter as best them might.
From the speaker's tone it was apparent
that he longed for a star chamber session.
Perhaps oil this account it was that an
other member of the committee arose and
and stated that the subject should be taken
tip only during an executive session. It
was then decided to hold such a session.
It opened with a report of the committee.
They gave details to a number of matters
that had been brought before them in refer
ence to the case. The report was discuss
ed. The Rev. John S. MeKee was one of
the principal speakers. Some of the mem
bers thought it best to let tho mutter go
011 until the next meeting of Presbytery.
It was also suggested that additional tacts
might be brought forth by that time.
THE FINAL ACTION.
Th : report was accepted, nevertheless,
it being argued that the matter hud hung
fire long enough and that it was a reflec
tion on the Presbytery, if allowed to drag
on. Tho vote was unanimous. In the re
port a hint has been give* to the Presby
tery to the effect that Mr. MeFarlaiul was
at present employed in a secular occupa
tion. From the speeches of tho members
it was plain they uid not wish to take any
steps which they could not fully explcir,
A motion was therefore made that the
name of A. B. C McFarland be expunged
from the rolls of the Butler Presbytery, as
the above person had left ministerial work
for secular work. The motion was
unanimously passed and the Presbytery
adjourned.
The Rev. J. J. Imbrie said after the
meeting: "We expelled Mr. McFarland
because he has engaged himself in worldly
affairs. The matter is at an end and out of
the hands of the Presbytery. The com
mittee has done its work aud been dismiss
ed. The subject was thoroughly discussed
during the executive session."
Mr. McFarland himself was not present
during any part of the meeting, but the
committee appeared to take no note of tho
fact.
This afternoon the Presbytery considered
the overtures on the tobacco question made
by the General Assembly. It cast its vote
against tobacco for young men about to be
licensed as preachers, but declared itse'.t
in favor of allowing elders to use the weed.
How Brice got His Seat,
A Springfield, 0., Democrat is quoted as
regarding the election of Calvin
Brice, to be U. S. Senator for Ohio. '"On
the day preceding the caucus, Mr. I'rieo
became very much alarmed, the indica
tionsbeing the caucus would be postponed.
He was afraid, owing to the fact Knapp
was dead, that Lawlur was reported dead,
that there were four absentees, and that
five members were absent acting as pall
bearers at Mr. Knapp's funeral. The re
sult was that Mr. Brice sent agents out
aud bought up men liko hogs, paying from
S:>,UOO to $7,000 per head. These Legisla
tors were approached under disguise and
in some instances a proposition was made
to the effect that Brice would pay all their
election expenses and give t'jem a hand
some sum besides.
The Brice agents were so audacious as
to go to a certain candidate, I will not
name him, but it was not McMahon, and
offered to pay all his expenses to date if
he would withdraw."
The candidate evidently was Mr. Thom
as.
The Democrat further stated that Rep=
rescntativc Molder, of Erie county, who
left ihomes for Itricc, was elected by Mr.
Thomas' influence. Auditor William Bond,
of the county, received S3OO from Thomas
to make the light in liis county. Political
matters in reference to the Secretaryship
are incandescent here now, and more
startling stories of how Bricu secured his
seat are promised.

The S. S. Convention at
Brownsdale.
i A Sabbath School convention w«.; held
in the Brownsdalu U. P. Church. January
14th. IS9O. At 2 p.m. in the absence of
1 Bev. MeCampbell. Rev. J. S. McKee open
jed the meeting with devotional exert iscs,
I calling on Bev. Cooper to pray. Key. J
j A. Clark then opened the subject assigned
|to hint, "The relation of the S. S. to the
I church." Ho said the S. S. was a divine
I institution, a part of the church, an inte
| gral part, intimately connected, as the
I arm to the body; as "the wife to the hus
j band. Our obligation to attend the one
j was the same as the other, the office bear
ers of the church ought to be leaders in
the S. S. Rev. McKee compared the S. S.
to a large family studying God's word to
gether: Rev. McClester and McCaw follow
ed with a lew remarks.
Miss Raselv being absent the subject as
signed her was passed over for the present,
and an address by Rev. McClester on
•'Personal work and motive," was next in
order. He remarked that each and every
person has his work to do in the S. S;
ministers, ciders and members are person
ally responsible to God for the neglect of
this work, the motive for the work is the
glory of God. anil our own good, and the
help we can give others. Rev. Clark said
we had not ei.ongh personal work. Rev.
McKee observed that we could all ilo per
' sonal work by urging all our acquaintances
and friends to attend the S. S.
Rev. Cooper thought our personal work
would reflect the good we do for others on
ourselves, it should talk more about S. S.
through the week, ever}' day and place.
The Secretary remarked that he thought
the pastor should superintend and teach
in the S. S. Rev. McCaw thought the
minister should not do any work that the
elders aud members could do. Rev. Coop
er gave quite a lengthy "class drill on the
lesson for January 19th, 1880. Next "the
question box" was conducted by Rev. J.
S. McKee, and quite a number of questions
were answered by Revs. McCaw,McClester
aud McKee and D. B. Douthett, aud after
singing, the meeting adjourned to 7:30 p.
m.
Rev. Clark opened the evening session
by singing Psalm 7S. C. M., and leading in
prayer. Rev. McCaw consented to take
Miss Rasely's place on the subject "The
teacher's preparation," and said, lirst. the
teacher should be a person of prayer, sec
ond, the teacher should not only stud)' the
lesson but parallel passages; third, time is
necessary for preparation; fourth, should
ask God's blessing and direction for con
ducting and instructing the class. I>. B.
Douthett followed by saying that the
teacher should give practical instruction,
should understand the lesson, should know
the scholar, should know how to teach.
Rev. Clark proposed conventions such as
Moody's to arouse an interest in S. S.
work* Rev. McKee discussed the subject
assigned to Mr. Dutchman "The relation
of the Session to the S. 5.," first, as the
, session is the court they should attend to
the S. S. and select teacher; 2d. they
; should not stand as censurers but helpers.
Mr. Jas. Orr followed by saying that with
out a good live session the S. S. would be a
failure.
Mr. McCaw said there was danger of the
session going to far alone, but teachers
and session should go together. B. W.
Douthett followed with some remarks. 1).
B. Douthett responded to the subj ct as
signed him, "Some practical lessons on the
lite of Solomon." Alter which the congre
gation sang psalm 146. Rev. Cooper then
discussed Miss Stoup's subject, "How
stimulate teachers and scholars to study
the lesson." He said, we must arouse in
terest according to disposition and grad
ing. Rev. McKee said we should
pray for a revival of interest. In the ab
sence of Rev. Borland, Rev. McClester
opened the subject, "The holy spirit the
intepreter of God's word." and was follow
ed by Rev. Clark who said that the holy
spirit was the author, therefore the best
interpreter of God's word.
Rev. McKee then took up the subject as
signed hitn and discussed as follows, "Ex
cuses lawful and unlawful."
Ist, A lawful excuse is one we can offer
to God.
2d, It is one of the duties we owe to God
to attend S. S.
3d, We violate God's law if we refuse to
go.
4th, \\ e are under solemn obligations to
attend all meetings of God's worship.
sth, Excusing is accusing ourselves.
"The question box," was next in order
aud questions were answered by Revs.
Clark, McClester. aud McCaw, also by W.
M.' Brown. James Orr, D. B. Douthett.
The meeting closed l-y si«-riu«r psalm 72,
L.il. followed by benediction by liev.Clark
Our congregation is under obligation to
the ministers and brethren, who exerted
themselves to come to us; especially should
we be grateful to Kev. Clark, who drove

FOR EACH AND EVERY
DOLLAR YOU PAY
EVERY TIME, WHETH
ER YOU BE MAN, WO
MAN OR CHILD.
Our Goods are not marked
up to admit of making you a
present with each and every
purchase as some little dealers
do to try and catch trade.
There must be something
wrong with a business house
that has to offer prizes and
gifts to induce customers to
buy from them; it does not
sound as though their business
was satisfactory to them.
The buyers of Boots and
Shoes nowdavs are as smart as
some dealers are; they fully
understand, and don't expect
$1.25 worth of shoe leather lor
$1.00; all they want is full
value for their money,and buy
as cheaply as their neighbors
do at one straight price.
They don't want to buy a
shoe at $1.25 with a little
present thrown in worth ten
cents or less which they should
have paid $1 for, so you see
how it goes.
We don't give presents, but
do present you with more solid
leather for sl, and bitter
styles than any shoe house in
Butler county.

TBE SEWS OF THE WOBLD.-Tib TIMES ha 8
all the facilities of advanced Journalism fo r
gathering news from all the quartets of the
Clobe. in addition to that of tho Associated
Press, now covering the whole world In its
scone, making it the perfeatton of a newspaper,
with every Ui lug carefully edited to occupy tho
smallest space.
THE SUNDAY EDITION Is not only a complete
newspaper, but a .Magazine ot Popular Liter
ature. its sixteen largo pages, clearly printed
and attractively illustrated, contain as much
good literature, by the foremost writers of the
world, as any of tlio popular monthlies. Home
or tho newspapers in New York, Boston and
Chicago print a greater number of pages upon
Sudday, but these are for the most part
occupied with advertisements. The merchants
in those cttles concentrate nearly all their ad
vertising in the Sunday papers, while in Phila
delphia they have found it more advantageous
to udvcrtlse on week days as well.
THE ILLI'STRATIOSS of Tax TIMES are rec
ognized as the very best printed in any daily
newspaper, and. with the elegance of typogra
phy ior which YHE TIMES IS noted, add lo Its
popularity among all classes of readers.
THE TIMES aims to have the largest circulation
by deserving it. and claims that It is unsurpass
ed in all the essentials ol a great metropolitan
newspaper.
