Give The People a Chance.
"When the Republican Committee of
Butler County the other day voted down a
re.-olntion to enable the party voters at the
primaries to express their preferences for
a candidate for Governor, it must have for
gotten the action on this subject in Re
publican State Conventions. The State
Convention of 1883 put the following in the
platform:
It is the sense of the Convention that the
freest and lnllest expression of Republican
sentiment should be encouraged and sought
in the primary meetings, which are the
fountain of party action and source of pop
ular rule.
That declaration is thoroughly Repub
lican in its character, and it is the only
course for the party to pursue. This reso
lution was born of the disastrous exper
ience of 1882, and the policy of suppressing
the popular voice in making delegates and
having everything done through county
committees, which had been so much prac
ticed. It was a protest, not against candi
dates, but against methods which substan
tially gave the people no voice.
What the Butler County Committee
means by its action it is not easy to see.
It is the highest privilege of the citizen to
express his preference for candidates for
public office, and not the slightest obstacle
should be thrown in the way of that. On
the contrary, as the State Convention reso
lution says, "the freest and fullest ex
pression of Republican sentiment should
be encouraged and sought in the primary
meetings." The Butler County Committee
has taken a position exactly the reverse of
this.
The action of the committee, however,
need not prevent the party voters from ex
pressing their choice at the primaries. In
fact, under the circumstances, it seems
particularly important that they should do
so. Xone can speak for them so well as
they can speak for themselves, and, as
they are "the fountain of party action and
source of popular rule," there is no way of
knowing what the party action should be
unless they speak.
The interference with nominations by
county committees has had its day. It
was condemned and the people broke away
from it in 1882. There is not only no de
mand for a restoration of it, but it may be
taken for granted that any attempt in that
direction will call out popular protest.
When party action is based upon the peo
ple's will no mistake can be made."
The above is from the Philadelphia
Press, the leading Republican paper.of the
State; and it does good service for the
party in bringing to light the resolution of
the State Convention of 1883. Had the
motion made to our county convention
been more fnlly discussed and better
understood it would probably have carried.
As it is, the present campaign for the Re
publican nomination for Governor,in which
the Chairman of the State Commitee is
traveling over the State, setting up dele
gates for his pot for the office, and using
the power in the hands of our U. S. Sen
ators to accomplish his ends, will pr#bably
be an eye-opener lor the Republicans all
over the State. The only way to stop such
work is by requiring the rank and file of
the party to name the candidates for the
State offices, and it will be a very easy
matter for them to post themselves on the
merits and claims of the respective candi
dates. It is not too lato yet for the Re
publicans of this county to inquire of the
gentlemen who have announced their de
sire to be members of the State convention
as to their proposed action,and to endeavor
to remedy tho matter, if necessary, by
bringing out other candidates whoso views
and theirs accord.
Auothepjuatter that the Republicans of
the county should take into consideration
at the coming primary is that of United
States Senator. The term of J. Donald
Cameron expires next March, and his
successor is to be elected by the State
legislature that meets next winter.
Pennsylvania, the second State in tho
Union in population, and tho first in
material and manufacturing interests, is
represented in the National Senate by two
daring politicians, neither of whom seejiis
to have much aptitudo or capacity for the
real business of tho Nation, or spends
much time in the Senate chamber.
The State is practically unrepresented in
the Senate, and men who show a capacity
for public affairs are pushed aside for the
favorites of those in power.
This, also, can be remedied, or at least
bettered, at the primaries by tho popular
vote, and the sooner wo come to it the
better.
CHICAGO gets ail she wauts. After a
hot fight in the House at Washington last
Monday, the amendment postponing the
"World's Fair till 1893 was carried, but the
buildings are to be dedicated on October
12, 1«92, the date of Columbus' discovery.
The Fair is to open May 1, '93 and close
October 30. Just as soon as Chicago
places her guarantee fund of ten millions
in the Committee's hands and tho Senate
acts favorably, President Harrison will is
sue his proclamation inviting foreign na
tions to participate.
BY tho Greenville (Mercer Co.) Advance-
Argus of the '2oth inst. we notice the Hon.
James C. Brown has disposed of his in
terest in that paper and withdrawn from
journalism. Tho Advance-Argus for the
past few years has been published by
Messrs. Brown and Hippeo. Mr. Brown
has now disposed of his interest to the
Hon. Levi Morrison, of Mercer county, and
the paper will hereafter be published by
Messrs. Hippeo and Morrison. In parting
with Mr. Brown, tho Republican press of
the State, and more particularly this
Western portion of it, do so with regret.
He has maintained a personal character
without blemish, and as editor of the
Advance Argun has always been recognized
as honest, fair, caudid and able. Wo see
that friends are urging him to be a candi
date for Congress in this district, and in
his last issue he says he may probably be
so. but adds: "If anywhere in the 25th
district a veritable Saul among tho candi
dates should arise and consent to serve the
people in Congress we would feel like
modestly withdrawing from the contest
and advising his nomination and election."
Whether a Saul is to arise iu this district
or not wc do not know, but cuu say that
Mercer county could present no better
man than James C. Brown to the con
vention of this Congressional district.
TUB bill introduced by Congressman
Bi'jgham extends the freo delivery system
to all towns containing uot less than 5,000
population, and to postoffices, the gross
revenue of which exceeds $7,000, and also
provides for mail carriers, whoso salaries
shall range from sooo to SBSO. If the bill
passes it will include Butler, as the gross
revenue of our office now exceeds SII,OOO,
and the improvement in the efficiency and
convenience of the services, which the bill
proposes, would be better than decreasing
tin* postage rates, which are not now
burdensome.
ON Tuesday President llurrison issued a

Death of Hon. James T. Lane.
We regret to learn of the death of the
Hon. James T. Lane, formerly of this
place. Mr. Lane was born near Freeport,
Pa., and came to Butler when a young
man, studied law here with the late Hon.
Samuel A. Purviance. and was admitted to
the Bar. Shortly after he married Miss
Ann Jane Reed, "eldest daughter of Gen.
George W. Reed of this place; removed to
Davenport, lowa, and rose to distinction in
his profession. lie was United States Dis
trict Attorney for the State of lowa for
nine years, and was regarded as one of the
ablest lawyers of that State. He was con
sidered by all who knew him to be an
honorable and good man and he had many
friends here who will respect his memory.
Mr. Lane was about sixty years of age. He
died at Denver, Colorado, where he was
visiting a daughter, on March 20 inst., and
his remains were taken to Davenport for
interment.

A DECISION by the Supreme Court of
this State has reversed the former custom
of holding towns and cities responsible for
accidents resulting from bad sidewalks.
A property owner in Brookville had allow
ed his sidewalks to remain out of repair af
ter due notification, and a woman caught
her foot in a hole in it and sustained injur
ies for which she obtained a judgment
against the borough for $5,000 damages.
The borough then brought suit against the
property owner, but lost the suit, where
upon they appealed to the Supreme Court.
This court reversed the decision of the
lower court and ordered judgment against
the property owner. — Exchange.
This decision of the Sifpreme Court is
certainly good sense as well as good law.
We cannot see why the borough should be
mulcted in damages and costs on account
of the carelessness of some penurious pro
perty owner who has been legally notified,
but has neglected his duty. Property
owners hereafter will be more careful as to
the condition of their sidewalks. There
are numerous places in Mercer where a
misstep might cost the value of the ad
joining property to pay the damages, l'rqj
perty owners would do well to heed this
decision, and councils ought to be prompt
in giving notice in regard to defective side
walks. —Mercer Dispatch.
A CASK of considerable inerest has been
decided in St. Louis. Some years ago a
citizen of Missouri insured his life for the
benefit of his wife. Insured people are apt
to live long, and the gentlman's wife died
before him. Not only thrift, but tho insured
husband lived on and married a second
wife. Findlly he died, full of years, having
kept up the insurance in its original shape.
Then naturally the second wife's children
began to squabble with the first wife's
abont who was entitled to that insurance
money, what was left of it was duly dicided
to belong only to the ehildern of the first
wile. Men who trvke out life insurance
polices, and at the same *>!!", 5 expects to
tho husbands oftWO ur more wives, should
be carefaV to specify to which wife tho in
UTancc money goes.
SOME idea of the enormous proportions
reached by a single item of the iron indus
try, the manufacture of steel rails, may be
gathered from the estimate of a Pittsburg
paper that it will require two million(2,ooo,-
000) tons of steel rails to meet this year's
demand. Orders for more than 1,000,000
tons have already been placed on tho books
of the manufacturers for immediate deliv
ery. The cost of these rails delivered is
estimated at from $06,000,000 to $72,000,-
000. The cost of laying them, including
grading, ties, fish bars, switches, frogs and
other appliances is estimated at s2f>o,ooo
- What a refreshing effect such a
demand and such a prospect for iron would
have had upon the iron masters in this
country in an earlier day, who struggled
year after year and finally went into bank
ruptcy.
TIIK Hon. John M. Greer,of Butler, pass
ed through Pittsburg last night on his way
to Hurrisburg to attend a meeting of com"
mission which has charge of tbo Soldier*-
Orphan Schools of the state. Speaking of
politics in Butler county,he said: "The But
ler Republicans are for T. W. Phillips first,
and if he wants the Butler delegates he can
liavo them. They favor Stone almost as
much as Phillips, and, if the latter is n«t a
candidate, Stone can have the delegates.
Much of the feeling against Delamater was
caused by the fact that the men whom An
drews selected to carry the county for Dela
mater are not men who arc looked upon as
out and out Republicans. Phillips and
Stone have the support of all of the solid
and influential Republicans.'' —Pittsburg
Times of Saturday.
THE Republican County Committee OF
Butler county have fixed on May 24 for the
county primaries, but very unwisely refused
to let the people express their opinions on
the Gubernatorial question. This is bab
politics. Tho people have a right to have
opinions and express them, and any effort
on the part of county committees to muffle
public opinion will not tend to unity or
the good of the party. This year particular
ly the fullest possible liberty should be
given to the people to express their prefer
ences.—York Dispatch.

remedy for rheumatism; but thousands who
have suffered its pains have been greatly ben

to find relief, try this great remedy. It corrects
the acidity of the blood whiCh is tho cause of tho
disease, and builds up the whole system*
