We had hoped to retain the name of
Newton Black on our county ticket, and
from all we have heard we believe we
■would have been allowed to do so had the
matter been left to the popolar rote of the
Republicans of the district, hut the New
Castle convention baa said otherwise and
we replace it with that of the nominee.
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

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. That all persons who served
ninety days or more in the military or
naval services of the United States during
the late War ot the Rebellion, and who
have been honorably discharged therefrom,
and who are now or may hereafter be
suffering from a mental or physical dis
ability of a permanent character not the
result of their own vicious habits, which
incapacitates them from the performance
of manual labor in such a degree as to ren
der them unable to eam a support, shall,
upon making due proof of the fact accord
ing to such rules and regulations as the
Secretary of the Interior may provide, be
placed upon tho list of invalid pensioners
of the United States, and be entitled to re
ceiyo a pension not to exceed twelve dol
lars a month, and not less than six dollars
a month, proportioned to their inability to
earn a support; and such pension shall
commonce from the date of tho filing of tho
application in the Pension Office, after the
Sassage of this act, upon proof that the
isability then existed, and shall continue
during the existence of such disability;
Provided, That persons who are now re
ceiving pensions under existing laws, or
whoso claims aro pending in the Pension
Office, may, by application to the Com
missioner of Pensions, in such form as he
may prescribe, showing themselves on
titled thereto, receive the benefits of this
act; and nothing herein contained shall be
so construed as to prevent any pensioner
thereunder from prosecuting his claim and
receiving his pension unuer any other
general or special act.
Provided, however, That no person shall
receive more than one pension for tho same
period; and provided further, tho rank in
the service shall not be considered in ap
plications filed under this act.
SEC. 3. That if any officer or enlisted
man who served ninety days or more in the
army or navy of the United States during
tho late War of the Rebellion, and who
was honorably discharged, has died, or
shall hereafter die, leaving a widow, with
out other means of support than her daily
labor, or minor children under the ago of
sixteen years, such widow shall, npon duo
proof of her husband's death, withont
proving his death to be the result of his
army service, be placed on the pension roll
from the date of tho application therefor
under this act, at the rate of eight dollars
per month during her widowhood, and
shall also be paid two dollars per month
lor each child of such officer or enlisted
man under the age of sixteen years, such
pension shall bo paid «urb child or chil
dren until tho age of sixteen; provided,
that in case a minor child is imane, idiotic
or otherwise permanently helpless, tho
pension shall continue during tho life of
said child, or during Ihe period of such dis
ability, and this proviso shall apply to all
pensions herctoforo granted or hereafter to
bo granted under this or any former
statute; and such pensions shall commence
from the date of the application therefor,
after the passage of this act; and provided
further, that said widow shall have married
said soldier prior to the passage of this act.
SBC. 4. Limits attorney fee to $lO in all
cases under this act, payable after caso is
allowed.
In considering tho pension claims of de-
Sendent parents, the fact of the soldier's
eath by reason of any wound, injury,
casuality, or disease, which, under tho
conditions and limitations of existing laws,
would have entitled hiin to an invalid pen
sion, and tho fact that tho soldier left no
widow or minor children having been
shown, as required by law, it shall bo
necessary only to show by competent and
sufficient evidenco that such parent or
parents aro without other present means of
support than their own manual labor or
tho contribution of others not legally
bound for their support;
Provided, That all pensions allowed to
dependent parents under this act shall
commence from the date of tho filing of the
application hereunder, and shall continue
no longer than tho existence of the de
pendence.

The Fourth In Concord Twp.
MB. 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

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

Billiard of Eau Claire has been increased.

"STILL HERE/'
Why certainly we are here. 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.
