To-morrow (Saturday) the polls of But ler will be open from 7 a. m. to 7 p. tn. and the regular election officers will pre side. We do not suppose that the people of the town were ever asked to vote on a question so little understood. The political elections have engrossed public attention and the subject matter of this election has 1-een but. little discus- Briefly stated, the situation is about this Our town needs some improvements, needs them badly. Our Main street, the streets leading to the depots and two or three more of the most greatly traveled streets should be pared immedintcly;and a system of sewerage should lie started, that is, main sewers or outlets should bo pnt in at the expense of the town, and thus giving the people nr. .;, t iortnnity to avail them selves of the S'-v. ei-Hge Act. The question, "Will v <■ i.orrow money to make these improvements ir will we notf" The assessed valuation of the town is about eighteen hundred thousand,the towu owes twelve thousand, end the Council has a right under the law to borrow twenty thonsand more without an election, and if the people give their assent to morrow, they will have a right to borrow a hundred thousand more, »r seven per cent, of the assessed valuation. If the Council borrows the twenty thousand dollars they can pave part, per haps all, of Main street and put in the few rods of main sewer from the west end of Jefferson St. to the proposed outlet, but the other parts of the town will be neglect ed, and that condition will remain for years. If the people vote them more money, Ibey mill pave all of Main St. this summer, put in both main sewers, and pave the other streets as the people petition for them—the Council cautiot go faster than the people desire. More money will be borrowed only as it is seeded, the bonds will run for a long namber of years aud at a low rate of in terest, the streets that are paved will need hut little, if any, attention for years, the taxes will be but slightly increased; and %re will have the benefit of these improve ments immediately. The argument, it seems to us, is all on* :«ided and in favur of giving the Council the authority to borrow the necessary money, and we believe that Butler has, at pre scat, as good a bet of men on its Council as has any town of its size in tin: State, or Mit over will have, and that they have been looking and will continue to look after the interests of the town as carcfuliy its otter their own private affairs.

The falling walls of a cathedral crushed an adjoining hospital, burying many of the patients, who were subsequently burned to death. Those who occupied the garrison refused to render any help, stating that they hail no time to render assistance to "worthless exiles." THE "original package" will be a abort lived institution. The Senate has already passed a bill calculated to throttle that in dustry in itx incipiency.

Vote for Improvements Editor Crrtzur —Oar town is now 1 under headway to permanent prosperity if j the people will only avail themselves o: I the opportunity offered them and vote on i next Saturday to (rive our town Council j the means with which to go on and make . such improvement as the people may from time to time a.-k the Council to have done, j We have spent thousands and thousands of \ dollars in the last fifteen or twenty } ear? j going over our streets every Spring shovel ing the clay from the gutter* ; to the middle of the street. and j when a mud hole got too deep fill it : up with stone, and by the time the next Spring came, had to do the same thing over, and so year after year and nothing to show for the money spent. Now why not get out of this old rut. take a step onward and put our town in the same condition all oiher towns around us are int We have streets that if paved and put ia order would be as fine as any in the country; and of which we would all be proud, if changed from the mud holes they have been to properly graded and paved streets. Hut some say. "it will bankrupt the j town," '-we can't stand it," "it will be too c-ipensive,'' and many more equally un founded statements; now, why do they say sot It is simply because they have not examined the matter any and don't under stand it. In the first place, the law of our State has thrown so many safeguards around the government of boroughs that the town council, even if so disposed, ain't run the town, as some say, "heels over head" in debt. "Without a vote of the people to increase the indebtedness the Council, for any improvements, can't con tract an indebtedness over two per cent, of the valuation of the borough, and even if the people wanted it they can't increase the the debt beyond seven per cent, of the as sessed valuation,which given in round num bers, is about $1,800,000, and in no case can the people incur a debt beyond seven per cent, of this amount. But it is not the intention to incur a large debt by improv ing all the streets in town. Let the vote on Saturday be unanimous for improve ments, not a vote against it. Still the Town Council can't undertake to pave a street until Itco thirds of the property owners, representing two-thirds of the feet fronting on the street they want paved, sign a petition asking the Council to pare the street. This beingthe law it is easy to be seen the pecvle have the matter in their own hands and can at all times keep the Council in bounds. The purpose is to, say this year, pave Main street, then next year say they pave Jefferson street from Main St. to the West Penn station. Then the next year say they pave "Wayne street to the P. A W. station, and so on other streets in town, as the people ask for it to be done — and it can't be done unless two-thirds of the property owners, as stated above, ask it. "When the work is done the property owners on one side the street pay the one third of the expenses, the owners on the other side pay one-third of the expenses and the borough the other third, or the owners of property pay two-thirds the ex pense and the borough oue-third. so the people living along the streets have the big end of the burden to bear. Then the question is asked, how is the borough's -hare to he raised? The answer is by issn g bonds running over, say 10, 1.3 or 20 years, as the Council may think best, 'fbere are plenty of capitalists who are on ly too glad to invest their capital in bonds iif judiciously managed boroughs, and we have but little doubt all the money the borough needs can be had at from 34 to 4 per cent, interest; then after say five years pay off a part ot them each year, so it can be done and the taxes will be very little increased, while we at the same time have the benefit of the improvement Once the town is paved and sewered, or nnder head way, capitalists will come here to live, bring their money along, invest it and they will help us pay off the debt incurred. You remember what a hubbub some peo ple made when the Commissioners propos ed building a Court House worth $125,000 or $150,000. They said "it would bank rupt the county," and taxes will bo enor mous, we had better go slow, "take say $25,000 or 30,000 dollars and repair the old one" Ac. Better councils however pre vailed, and the Court House was built at an expense of $147,(500, and when people come from other counties they all admire it. Was the county bankrupted? Were the taxes increased enormously? No sir. the Commissioners kept up the same rate of tax ation, seven mills for three years, last year they reduced it to five mills, and this year to three millsr aud the Court House is paid for. So it will be with the borough. Let us have the improvements, get the benefit of them, and the debt will be paid a little each j'ear and in a few years it will all be paid off without any oppressive taxation. Our town Council are all, or nearly all pro perty owners; are judicious men, and it is for the people, as each election comes around to continue to elect judicious men, and our word for it, we will in time have our streets paved, the towu sewered and Butler will have such a state of prosperity as the most sanguine never dreamed of; and more than that, we will risk our repu tation for veracity, that when the people haye once had the benefit of sewerage and , pavement they would not go back to the old condition of things even if it costs twice as much as it is going to do. So let all turn out on Saturday anil vote to "in crease the indebtedness of the borough, that our Town Council may have the means at hand when the people petition for the pavement of any street. Every legally qualified voter will have the right to vote on the question. A Taxi-aykb. Tiik drowning season has arrived. Strange to say, more than half the cases thus far were those of adults.

Lien Law Decision. The State Supreme Court recently de cided in two separate cases tint a sub contractor engaged in the erection of a ' uildlng lias no lien against the building if the the contractor provides that the building shall be delivered free of liens. All contracts contain that proviso, but heretofore it was not supposed that it affected sub-contactors and material men who ar« not parties to the contract and whoso lieu i.-. given U. tljcm by statute as an extraordinary remedy. This Interpretation of the law practically wipes out the Mechanics' Lien law, which has been in operation since IH3O, and make all people who do work on or furnish material for a new building look to the principal pontractor alone for their money. Its effects will be far-reaching, and the parties interested in it liiu u j;;,t yet if rasp ed its full meaning.—The general opin.iv. thus far is very much in favor of the •lecl-ion us tending to freeze out all dis honest contractors and raising such transactions to a higher level. It certainly will relieve the owner of the building from much annoyance and anxiety; hut when the bricklayers, plasterers, masons, painters, lumber dealers and others find, however, that they will not have the si|gi»teat ilaiiii against a building on which they arc working tUro i«ay bo trouble to keep them at work, unless the contractor is perfectly fir»t clttos financially. hx.

A verr seneible motto Missouri will go Kepublicau ■><>u,e ay Tinkering the Tax Laws. At a recent meeting of the Kevenue Commission Auditor-General McCamant presented for consideration a revenue bill which be thought would raise about four and a half million dollars of additional taxes for county purposes. He was of the opinion that about a million dollars might be raised by levying a two-mill tax on mortgages and moneys due on securities and accounts bearing interest, on public loans of various kinds and on all other moneyed capital in the hands of individual citizens of the State. He thought that $2,000,000 or $2,500,000 might be raised by a tax of eight mills on capital in excess of SI,OOO employed in mercantile or" com mercial pursuits and on sales made in ex cess of SI,OOO by butchers, drovers and dealers in live stock. He proposed to levy a ten-mill tax on the gross earnings of private bankers, brokers and unincorpor ated banks and ail sum realized from busi ness investments. He thought this section of his propsed bill would bring in about a million dollars. Judging from the past, it isn't probable that the next legislature will pay much at tention to the propositions of the Revenue Commission, whatever they may be. In deed, there is a growing suspicion that Revenue Commissions are set on foot mainly to quiet the popular demand for re lief from the present Unequal taxation and not with any serious intention of effecting a substantial reform of the tax laws. If the present Commission was created for that end, it seems in a fair way to carry out its purpose. Certainly it has done nothing so far looking toward any adequate relief for the overburdened local tax-payers. The constitution of the State expressly provides that all taxes shall be uniform up on the same class of property within the territorial limits of the authority levying the tax. It is notorious that this pro vision of the constitution has not been observed. A vast amount of real property escapes local taxation, and the total tax paid by its holders amounts to but little more than a tenth of the tax paid by the holders of other real estate. If there is any good reason why the property of wealthy business corporations should be practically exempted from taxation at the expense of local property-holders we have yet to learn it. But this is precisely what is done by present inequitable tax laws. And the Revenue Commission proposes to relieve the local tax payer by a little more tinker, ing of our present complicated revenue system so as to levy various rates on busi ness investments and intangible credits at hoflte and abroad! This won't do. It isn't what the tax payers want nor what they have a right to demand. What they do want is a strict observance of the constitution,which ought to be binding on Legislatures as well as on all the rest of us. The spirit and the letter of the constitution call for equal taxation, and to secure equal taxation it is only nec essary to tax all real and personal property for all purposes, general and local, wherever found within the State. It isn't worth while to try to amuse and bam boozle the local tai-payers with any more petty tinkering of the tax laws, for they understand that what is needed is a radical and sweeping reform of our present op pressive and unequal revenue system.— Wellsboro Agitator. Political. The Republican primaries in Chester Co. lats Saturday resulted in the election of the four Hastings delegates by a majority to 1. The Republican primaries of Westmore land Co., last Saturday resulted in the election of four delegates who will vote for Moutooth first and after that anybody to beat Delamater. In Washington Co., the Republicans elected three delegates, whose instructions if any, are not mentioned though they are said to be for Montooth. The fuss in the Allegheny Congressional district, was settled last Saturday by Col. Stone, who decided to submit to another primary. Col. Bayne in an interview pub lished that day said that Nelson {{eed'i op position to Col. Stone was personal; Stone and Magne being partners in some business enterprises. An indignation meeting was held in Allegheny City that evening, and resolutions demanding another primary were adopted. The Pittsburg Dispatch summarizes the situation on Governor as follows:—Hast ings G3, Delamater 5), Montooth 30, Stone 11, Osborne 0, McCormick 3, Davjes a, un certain 24, with 13 delegates yet to be elected. After the Republican Convention of Westmoreland County had adjourned, a delayed return changed the result on Leg islature, and as the other fellow was de clared nominated, trouble is anticipated.

NEIGHBORHOOD NOTES. Some farmer* and laborers of Mercer Co. at a meeting lately held in the court house resolved that the offices of Poor Directors, Jury Commissioners and County Snpd't should be abolished, and that the connty officers should be salaried. Last Friday evening about 6 o'clock C. P. McCafferty of East Brady, started to drive out to Fairriew. Butler connty. His team was a spirited pair of bays. At the East Brady end of the river bridge he stopped to talk with some one. His clerk in the store was holding the horses by the bits, when an engine on the Valley rail road scared the horses. The bridle broke and the bit came out of the lead horse's mouth. In an instant they sprang away across the bridge. Mr. McCafferty saw he powerless to stop them, so he jumped out of the buggy, alighting on his hands and shoulder, and badly injuring his right wrist and shoulder. The team ran the en tire length of the bridge and kept the right hand track, but on the other side is a small bridge across Sugar creek, which they failed to strike, it being on a curve, and both horses went down into the bed of the creek, among the rocks, a distance of some eighteen feet. One horse was in stantly killed, and the other bnt slightly hurt, and strange to say, the buggy was left on the bridge, but very littla damaged. The horse kill was valued at S3OO. The Pittsburg Times has received state ments from its correspondents in 17 conn ties in Western and Central Pennsylvania respecting the prospects for fruit, and from them concludes that the fruit crop will be a failure. Erie and Centre counties report good outlooks, hut all the rest are discour aging. At Warren, Pa., C. L. P. Kinner. who pleaded guilty to embeziling SIO,OOO white cashier of the Pennsylvania Gas Company, was sentenced to pay a fine of SI,OOO, re turn the amount embeialed, and be iuipris -5 years and 9 months in the penitentiary. A singular fact abont the young man's crime is that he refuses to disclose what he did with the money. Like most thieves of this sort, he is a quet young man of no extravagant habits, and lived iu a modest, unpretentious way. The sad death from suicide of a steel worker in Greensburg is recorded, and it is given out that he took his life through des pondency cansed by repeated losses in the Louisiana lottery, lie was a regular pa tron of the swindle and spent nearly all his money in the scheme, but he never drew a penny. And so it goes. Victims increase, and the great devil fish goes ou uninter rupted, its tentacles reaching out in every direction and fastening on the money of the poor who can not afford to lose it, giving them any return. The Louisiana lottery is responsible for a frightful amount of misery. Samuel Ruffner, an estimable young man of East Franklin township, Armstrong Co. was instantly killed Saturday while felling a tree opposite Mosgrove Station. Ruff ner and several companions were clearing a field, but he was working at some dis tance from the others. Oue of them went to find hiin on some trifling errand and discovered his body pinned to the earth by the trunk of a tree. He gave the alarm aud the body of the unfortunate young man was soon extricated. Surgical aid was summoned at once, when it was found that the tree in falling had crushed in his bead aud broken bis neuk.
