Maj. Alexander McDowell, a sketch of whom appears in another column. The convention unanimously passed a resolution favoring the popular Tote system, and re questing 4>o chairmen of the different county committees to make arrangements for it. Some o ianges may be made in the district before two more years pass, but vbether there are or not we hope this arrangement will be consummated. THB new or conference irilver bill pro vide* that the Secretary of the Treasury shall purchase four and a half million ounces of ailver each month, at the market price, not to exceed $1 for each ounco of 371* grains, and issue Treasury notes in payment Two million ounces aro to be each month until July 1, 1891, and after that only so much as shall be neces sary for the redemption of the Treasury notes. SECRETARY BLAIKB'S plan for reciprocity with all the independent nations of the American continents is not supported by the Administration. President Harrison attention to tho fact that 87 per cent, of the produots of the South Ameri can nations now sent to our ports are ad mitted free of duty. The McKinley bill greatly reduces the tariff on raw sugar, and as reciprocity would also put wool on the free list, there are objections to it. THBBE is a considerable difference of opinion among Republicans as to the pro posed Federal Election bill, that passed the House ot Washington a few days ago, and is now being considered by the Sen ate. The bill will gTeatly increase the eost of holding the general election when Congressmen are to bo elected, and some people do not like the arbitrary power it puts in the hands of the few individuals who would supervise the election. A bet ter plan would perhaps be to apportion the Congressmen among the States in proportion to the nnmber of votes actually east at the preceding general elec tion, though that would require an amend ment to the Constitution. As the matter now stands Northern voters are imposed npon. At the Congressional election of 1886, in Georgia, the vote in two Congress gressional districts was but 1700 each, one polled 1944 votes, five polled between two and three thousand votes, one polled 3239 votes, and one 6680 votes. The whole vote of the State electing ten Congressmen was bnt 27,120 rotes, less than the vote of this district electing one Congressman, and, with a few exceptions, less than the ▼ote of any Congressional district in any Northern State. In South Carolina and Misaisippi matters are but little better. TUey get their proportion of Congressmen on population as shown by the census, the darkies are kept from voting, and the vote of one white man on Congress counts as much as from seven to ten Northern men. On Thursday, the 3rd inst., President Harrison signed the bill admitting Idaho to tho Union of States, and 43 stars were due on the flag next day. Wyoming will probably bo admitted soon and there are •till five more Territories waiting ad mission. They are New Mexico, Arisona, Alaska, Indian Territory and Utah. This will form a collection of forty-nine States. "Its glorious stars in azure shine, The radiant heraldry of Heaven; Its stripes in beauteous order twine, The emblems of our Union given." THB Republican conference of the 24th Congresaionial district, composed of a part of Allegheny Co. and all of Washington, Fayette and Greene counties, met in Pitts burg last Tuesday, and nominated Col. Andrew Stewart of Fayette Co. for Con- 1 grese- Pattison Nominated. At the Democratic Convention at Scran ton, on Wednesday of last week, Robert E. Pattison, of Philad'a, was nominated lor Governor on first ballot:—vote, Patti son, 200; Wallace, 132; Hensel, 12; Wright, 12, and Black, 11. Pattison in his speech to the Convention spoke of it as "registering the express will of the masses, rather than the irksome and desperate behests of an arrogant master." Chauncey Black, for Lieutenant Gover nor, was also nominated on first ballot, the vote standing Black, 191; Wright, 157, and Sloan 3. William H. Barclay, the Pension Agent at Pittsburg, was honored with a unani mous nomination for Secretary of Internal Affairs, though the Butler Co. delegates had a notion to name Frank Eastman. At a meeting before the hotel at which Wallace stopped Lev McQuistSon, Esq. was the principal speaker of the evening. The platform lavors all kinds ot "re form" and denounces Quay, tho Federal JfJcction bill and the JfcSinley tariff bill. McDowell for Congress. The Congressional Confereneo of this district reassembled in New Castle, on Tuesday evenire of last week and dragged its wearv war through 194 ballots without result, but on the 195 th ballot Mercer Co. (rare McDowell 13 votes, Co. gave him 14. Butler Co. voted for Black, and when Beaver Co. was called 12 of her delegates voted for Townsend and 3 for McDowell, giving McDowell 32 votes and nominating him. The balance of the Bea ver Co. men expressed surprise at the ac tion of their three associates, but they joined with the other delegations in mak ing the nomination unanimous, and Major McDowell thanked the Convention. Mr. Black was the next candidate called upon, and he received a regular ovation from the large audience. Then a resolution was in troduced asking the Chairman of the Co. Committees of the district to call their Committees together for the purpose of selecting delegates to a district conference, looking toward the adoption of the popu lar vote system of nominating Con gressmen for the district. It was felt by all present that the delegate system was a flat failure, and the resolution passed unanimously. Our nominee. Major Alexander McDo well, was born and raised in Venango Co. He was the editor of the Franklin, Pa. Citizen for several years, is married to a daughter of James Bleakley, deed, was a member of the 121 st P. V., moved to Shar on after the war and engaged in the bank ing business, and is now about 45 years of age. lie is one of the most popular men in Mercer Co. and this was the fifth time that that county had presented him for a Congressional nomination. The Young Men's Republican club, of Mercer, held a large and enthusiastic meeting that evening and ratified the nom ination of Major McDowell, for Congress. The following resolutions were unani mously passed: Resolved, That we sin cerely thank our Congressional convention of the Twenty-fifth district for their wise and judicious choice in nominating Major McDowell as our nominee for Congress, and we congratulate them upon their se lection of so able a leader to represent the vast manufacturing and industrial interest not only of this district, but of our Com monwealth, and we pledge to him our steadfast and united support. 0* Monday of this week Gov. Nichols, of Louisiana, vetoed the bill granting a charter to the infamous Louisiana Lottery for 25 years. The Lottery offered the bride of $1,250,000 a year for the privilege. The bride is so tremendous that the Legislature will doubtless pass the bill over the Governor's veto. The New Pension Law. According to the provisions of the de pendent pension law recently enacted by Congress every honorably discharged soldier or sailor who served ninety days in the late war, who is dependent upon his I labor for a livelihood, and who is so dis abled, from any cause whatsoever—no matter when or where disability was in curred —as to be unable to earn a living, is entitled to a pension. The pensions range from (6 to *l2 per month, according to degree of disability. Soldiers who, by reason of old age, arc unfit for labor, we understand, come within the meaning of the act- "Every mother or father of a deceased soldier will receive #l2 per month provided said soldier would have been entitled to a pension bad he lived and left no widow or minor child. All that is necessary to show is that the claimant is now unable to earn u (support. hvery widow of a soldier of officer who has no other means of support than her daily labor is enti'led to a pension of $8 a month and $2 per month additional lor each minor child, without regard to caase of soldier's death." . , Where a child of a deceased soldier or officer is insane, idiotic or otherwise help less the pension is continued during life or as long as disability lasts. This provision affects all Dhildren who may have been placed on the pension-roll, and who are now OY.T sixteen years of age. Their names can bo restored and pension obtain -6(1 All pensions begin with the filing of the application; quite a number of applications have already been forwarded from liutler; the law limits the attorney's fee to $lO, payable when pension is allowed- The following is a copy of the principal sections of the act: SBC. 2.

EDITOR. —It was my good fortune to be present at a Sabbath School 5 . r.ic on the Fourth, where a multitude assem bled bearing well tilled baskets of goo<l things. The meeting was called to order by the Sup't. the choir sang "My country, 'tis of Thee, sweet land of Liberty." after which we were led in prayer by Rev. Wright of Sunbury. Then came an addre-s by Prof. Moffat, of Sunbury Academy, and then Rev. Wright was called upon and made a very good talk to the Sabbath School, after which Prof. CLri.-tley made one of his humorous yet sensible speeches, then after some more music by the choir the Sup't of the School made a very line speech, in which he thanked the audience for their attendance and gno<l behaviour; then, dinner being announced, we all hast ened to the grove and surrounded a table ladened with the good things for which the ladies of Concord are famous in pre paring and of which we all partook boun tifully: then we all repaired to the church to hear an address by J. W. Christy of Kansas, his subject being the Sabbath School at the present time, being all the time we can claim, he gave us a history of the International Sabbath School Conven tion recently held in the city of Pittsburgh, to which he was a delegate from his state. We were then adjourned and went home feeling glad that we had been there. A SPECTATOR. FOR the third time Kcmmler, the York State murderer, has been sentenced to be electrocuted. This time the sentence is for the week beginning August 4th. Snake Stories. Xcar Montezuma a mare gave birth to a colt that bad a lump on its jaw which pre vented it from sucking. The lump was cut off. and on being opened was found to con tain a lot of small-sized rattlesnakes. On the list of snake stories this will hold the first place for the present. A setter dog belonging to a citizen of Greensburg, Pa., died recently and its owner decided to hold a post mortem to ascertain the cause of death, and when ou the evening the dead dog's stomach was cut, a large blacksnake was taken there from. The reptile was dead, and when stretched out measured exactly seven feet in length. It was spotted on the head and tail. It is supposed that the dog swallow ed the snake while quite young, and that it lived and grew while in his stomach. A dispatch, dated at Pierre, S. I)., says that "About 7:30 last night clouds began to gather, and in about ten minutes rain began to pour, accompanied by strong wind. Just about the time the rain ceased snakes from 12 to 16 inches long fell to the ground in various places. These were coiled, and when they struck the ground seemed to be somewhat stunned. The snakes have a bluish color." It might be added that the story has a bluish color, too. It is also significant that while South Dakota has a prohibition section in its Con stitution, the original package man has commenced operations in the Common wealth. A ROMANTIC couple in Lowell, Mass., were married on July 4th, and instead of taking the regulation wedding trip, like sensible people, in the cars or by steam boat, they went skyward in a balloon. After getting as near heaven as wedded bliss and hydrogen gas could carry them th ey were brought to a realizing sense of earthly things by the balloon suddenly dropping and lodging between two pine trees. Just how to get down was a problem. The bride had never climbed a tree her life, and it was rather a difficult m atter for her to determine how she should descend a tree. The pair of ninnies and the balloonist canvassed tho situation for some time, when tho groom solved the question by climbing out of the balloon and sliding down the tree to terra firma. The balloon, to some extent, lightened, rose again and when it next descended the bride was rescued without difficulty. —Thos. Cross, of Slipperyrock, has been granted a pension, and that of John B. Billiard of Eau Claire has been increased. —General Clinton B. I'isk died suddenly at his residence in New York City, ed nesslay.

Don't von remember wc told you a year ago we were going to stay and don't you remember we told you how we had been working for ten years to reach the top of the business, and told yon we were nearly there. We told you we were.not certain then whether wo were the largest dealers in our line in this great state of Pennsylvania. Hut now we aro the largest. Just think of it right here in Butler —the largest wholesale and retail carriago dealers in the whole state —well it is true we have the largest wholesale and we have the largest retail trade. We carry the largest stock and sell cheaper than any house in the stute, the amount of business wc do enables us to do so. Wo do not sit around doing nothing till customers conio in then size him np aud go for all he has we do a straight forward business aud hav ing all kinds of grades of work we tell you the quality you aro getting every time. Why just think wo sell the very same top buggy for $45 that others sell for .•N>s, and we keep also the very best hand-made buggies—we keep the best work kept by any dealer. We have harness for sHJ and up. also tho very best hand-made harness —in fact we are the only place you can get a really good line harness You should look at our stock of surreys—the best you ever seen at one place in your lite. We had them all made for this year's trade and they are the latest styles, and , the finest work too—and spring wagons, we have more spring wagons than you could shake a stick at. Just think of it, $33 for a spring wagon, also the very best kind made; and then the best part of it is you always know iust what quality of work you are getting when you buy from us. Our rulo has always been nerer misrepre sent and never try to get rich off one cus tomer. Remember we keep everything in our line and pay strict attention. You will always find us here. We cannot enumerate, but just think of it, tho best collar pads for .">oc, horse collars 50c and np, carts lor $lO up. We have 12 different kinds, lap robes for $1 that others sell at $1.50, fly nets cheaper than you could make them yourself, good kip collars tick ing face, tufted with hair with pat fastener on top for s2,—just the collar (only a little better) you have been paying $2.50 to $3.00 for. Good hand made team harness —best oak tanned leather, all complete for $32. You paid S3B to $lO for the same, only yours hadn't as good leather. Now do you think this talk is all true or is it only ar advertise ment. It's quite a picture isn't itT Well, now neighbor, look here; 11 you just come down and spenil one hour looking through our large stock and don't say its true as far as it goes only not half told we will pay you for your time —is not this fairT Come down, it is only a little distance fiom Main St. down to 35 W. Cunningham St. —where we pay no rent. Wo want to see and get acquainted with you if you never were here before, and if you have been hero come and see us for wo are glad to meet old friends. Respectfully, S. B. MARTINCOUBT A Co. S. B. Martincourt, ) J. M. Lieghner, { P. S. We forgot to say wo sell about 25 Kramer wagon per month just for variety and could sell a great many more it they could make them faster- We have a car load of 26 on the way now which will be here about May Bth. if you want one, come soon, they go off liko' dynamite. Don't forget the place. Read tho name again and start. Teachers' Examinations. Butler July 26. Butler Au K- Examination* will begin promptly at 9 o'clouk.
