CLTVKLAJTO'S letter to the late meeting of business men in New York, in which be take* a stand sgainst the free coinage or direr bill, after bis party in both branches of Congress had voted for it, was one of the moot courageous political acta ever heard of, as he wishes the Democratic nomination for President, and this stand in opposition to his party may prevent his securing it He is, we believe, right abont it; the currency of the oonntry is now being in creased at the rate of five millions a month, which will aooa ease any monetary strin gency, and nearly all the silver mined in this oonntry is now being purchased by the Government —bat at its market price and not at an arbitrary and fixed price, much above its present value. There is, we believe, no good reason for passing the revolutionary measure proposed by the silver speculators and their southern and western friends. But that is not what we wish to call at tention to at present We wish to compare Cleveland's manly action and probable sac rifice in this matter, rather than that his party friends saonld be embarrassed in the future if they should put him in nomina tion; to that of oar Don Cameron, who wentnp to Harritburf and deliberately lied to his personal friends and other mem bers of the Legislature in order to secure a caucus nomination. They say that Cleveland and Cameron are personal friends, but that as honorable a man as Cleveland has shown himself to be in this matter, can be the personal friend of as sneaking s liar as Don Cameron has shown himself to be, is beyond belief. On Monday last Senator Quay arose from his seat in the Senate and read a lengthy written statement, denying the charges made against him some months ago, by the Hew York World, of corruption and frond while Treasurer of this state and a member of the legislature and pardon board. He characterizes all the statements made as "nebulous charges," "lies for which there never was the shadow of a foundation" etc, but as the World gave dates and particulars, and dared him to prosecute, his proper place for a vindi cation is before the courts and not before the Senate. Anybody can make a bald denial of serious charges of malfeasance as a poblic officer, but unless the denial is followed by the prosecution of tho offender it becomes a mere burlesque. THE last great Admiral of the civil war, D.D. Porter, died at his residence in Wash ington, last Monday; and the last great General of the same war, W. T. Sherman, at the residenoe of his son in New York, last Saturday: Bring the good old bugle, boys, we'll have another song— Sing it with a spirit that will move the world along— Sing it as we used to sing it, fifty thousand strong, While wo were marobing through Georgia. ALTHOUGH tin plates are one-fifth higher than they were last summer, yet American skill and ingenuity has brought down the price of the cans made from those plates so that the cans which sold for $3 a hundred in Baltimore, the center of the canning in dustry last summer before the McKinley bill passed now sell for $2 a hundred. So will it be with the tin plates themselves when American workingmen "get their band in" nuking them. Harrisburg Notes. On Thursday of last week Senator Lee appeared before the Committee on corpor ations, and produced figures to show that it costs no more than 6 centi per barrel to collect and transport oil for a distance of 50 miles or lees. The Bnrdick bill allows doable that rate of compensation. It was shown, in the discussion of the Billingsley bill four yean ago, that under the agree ment between the National Transit Com* pany and Tidewater Company they allow each other 6 cents per barrel to cover the cost of such service,and they are presumed to know what it doee cost X poll of the Democratic member* of the House developed the fact that fifty-nine of sixty-eight interviewed were favorable to the renomination of Cleveland, four were for Hill, two for Pattiaon, one for William Whitney, one for John 0. Carlisle, and one wu non commitaL The remaining eleven members were not in their seats. In the Senate ux Democrat* were absent. Two of these present would not announce their Presidential preference. Seven declared for Cleveland, three for Pattiiion and one for William T. Morrison. Several who ennotmced themselves for Cleveland favor ed Pattiaon as their second choice. The contest at Harrisourg between the old school, or allopathic doctors, and the eclectics and homeopaths over the passage of a medical bill by the Legislature, prom ises to be an interesting one. The home opuLhs have submitted the draft of a bill to establish a State Board of medical ex aminers and licensers and to define tbe power* and duties of such board. The same has been done by the eclectics and the allopaths. Tbe bill of the last named gives tbe old school predominance in the board and provides that all applicants fur licenses fc. practice medicine must not only be graduates of some medical school, but mast pass an examination before the board. As the old school men would control tbe beard, tbia would operate to exclude representative* of the other schools. Hence the present contention. Governor Pattison sent a corounicatiou to the Legislature last week giving a state ment of the deficiency in the Adjutant General's department. The total amount is W0,317.0g. He called attention to the fact that there has been no specific appro prist ions for the National Guard sinco 1887 the annual appropriation of SBOO,OOO a year being continuous.

At Mercy Convent, Pittsburg, last Thurs day. Miss Drezel of Philadelphia, who is worth several million dollars, took the vows of the black-veil She will be known as Sister Mary Katharine, and intends building a convent on the top of a hill near Philadelphia. In Pittsburgh last Thursday James B. Ryan of Apollo, aged 45 years, and Mary Stewart of Westmoreland Co., age not given, with a preacher and some friends climbed the steps of the Court-house tower to the highest floor, and then the preacher married Jim and Mary. Claude Ivrine alias Chas Ambroise of Woods Ron, Allegheny Co. eloped with Mary Elliott, and letters found in his trunk indicate that he already has several wives. The Whistler House, the principal hotel in Mercer, having been denied license, has been closed. Erie county has a surplus of 160,000 in the treasury and wants neighboring coun ties to go in and build a large work bouse. The family of William Baker, a pumper living at Foxburg, is afflicted with diph theria in its worst form. Two children have already died, Myrtle aged 17, and Mabel, aged 6 years. The remaining four children are also very bad, and Mr. Baker and wiie, worn oat by con stant watchings, are confined to their beds. The Farmers' Alliance is making great strides in Lawrence county, Pa. It is es timated that at least 1,000 farmers are now in the organisation. A branch has been formed in nearly every township. A report from New Castle says that the Alli ance people have agreed to give their cus tom to a dry goods man in that city, who in turn agrees to give a discount of 10 per cent. A similar contract has been made with a grocer there. If this is true, it shows a peculiar method of mixing general and special interests. The Harmonites celebrated the 86th an niversary of the founding of their society, at their town of Economy on the Ohio, last Sunday. When the society was orga nized its piesident Jaoob Henrici, was but one year old, and on Bunday with trembling hand and tottering form be con ducted the services. The society now numbers 49 members, although the village contains abont 500 persons connected with the society. The religious war at Dußois and Houts' dale, in Centre Co., continues. At Dußois four secret societies and the Catholics got into each others wool on school and other matters, and the ill will ran into politics. The last of a family of 41 children died near Allentown a lew days ago. His name was Heflher aad his father who was a little hunchback, was married three times, his wives bearing him 17, 15, and 9 children in the order they came, and then the little hunchback, at tho age of 60, was killed on the railroad. A large part of Johnstown was again under water last Monday, and six bridge* in tbat vicinity were washed away. At Pittsburg that night there wan 21 i feet of water in the Monongabela. While a P. C A St L. train was coming into Pittsburgh, Monday, a boulder from Duquesne heights crashed through a window and killed Miss Clara Flemming, of Wash ington, Pa. THE idea of electing United State* Senator* by direct vote of the people is growing more popnlar all the time. Tee Indiana legislation ban adopted a resolu tion indorsing the change, and it's only a question of time when the pressure in iavor oflt will compel Congress to adopt a Con stitutional Amendment providing therefor. Ex. Washington Note*. The Cleveland anti-tree coinage letter was the absorbing topic of public dis cussion,during the latter part of last week. It seemed to have distracted the whole Democratic party. The course of the two Pennsylvania Senators is being watched cloaely by the politicians. It is understood that Quay wai really with Cameron in his attitude on the Elections bill, President Harrison is giving them both the cold shoulder, and they retaliated by "tieing up" his nomi nation for postmaster at Reading. In the National Rep. Committee thore is a strong feeling agaiust both Quay and Dudley. Fivo of the departments at the National Capital were draped in mourning last Saturday, the navy department for ex- Secretary Bancroft and for Admiral Porter, the treasury department for Secretary Windom; the interior department for ex- Secretary fltuart; tho war for General Sherman, and the department of Justice for ex atty General Devens. Asks Don, to Resign. The Americas Club ol Pittsburg, at iu meeting last Satuaday evening passed the following resolution. Whereas, The free cofcage of silver is cow before the Congress of the United States Resolved, That the Americus Republican Club, of Pittsburg, recognising that the present gold basis of our monetary system has proved a standard for a healthy and prosperous transaction of business in the United States, and that the free coinage of sih er would unsettle tbat standard, and for a time at least be a great detriment to the business of the country, the United Stat**, powerful as it is, cannot uphold any commodity to a given price against the law* of supply and demand; and as the United States would be compelled to, ac cording to the demand* of tne advocates, l>ny all the silver offered from all parts of the worM at 91.2» per ounce of fine silver, the average cost of produc'ng which is a trifle over GO cents, it would most sei iously deplete our treasury for the benefit of the silver kiuic* and speculator* and to tho de triment of the pnblic. Wc, therefore, would most seriously ask our members of Congross to vote against the frco coinage of silver. Whereas, The senior Senator of Penn sylvania has put himself 011 record as be ing a favor of the free coinage of silver, notwithstanding tbat the people whom he represent* are opposed to It. Resolved, Tbat the Americus Club ol Pittsburgh, add Iheir protest to those of our business community, condemning bis acton in the strongest terms, reminding him tbat the people have placed him in the Senate, to represent them and not himself, and tbat if he cannot represent the groat Commonwealth of Pennsylvania on this question, we would ask him to resign.

COLL-STEWA»T SQUARE (Continued ) Tuoypws BLACKSMITH LOT. We closed oar last with recollections of the bouse which stood fifty years ago where present John A. ISichey bakery j is. The next lot to this, and where now stands the Aland merchant tailor shop, we will call the Thompson blacksmith lot. Oar first recollection of it is in seeing a blacksmith shop there. Five brothers of the name of Thompson are said to have lived on it in the early days of the town. James Thompson, spoken of in the history of the borough as the "sturdy blacksmith" of the town, we suppose was one of the five. We do not recollect him, nor two of the others, John and Joseph. Bat another one, Samuel P. Thompson, we recollect well. He removed from here down to Middlesex township where he died but a few years ago - He will be remembered as a very good, honest and inoffensive man. Another, Dr. Wm. C. Thompson, now of Indianapolis, Ind., we have met. He is yet living and last visited Butler about three years ago, on business and to see eld friends here. He is said to be a very suc cessful pbysieian in Indianapolis at present, and is the only one of the five brothers known by any of our citiiens to be yet living. Where this old blacksmith shop once stood a brick was erected, own ed at one tima by Mr. Christian Otto, yet living. The late Kobert and James Cun ningham had their store there lor a while, about 1845. A Mr. Douglass followed with a drug store there and had as clerk a young man namcjl Wythe who is said to be now a successful manufacturer of drugs in Phil adelphia. Dr. K. L. McCurdy followed with a drug store there. The Democratic Herald was published there from about 1850 to March, 1855. The Stehle new brick now adjoining the Aland one was erected in 1874, by the late Mr. Thomas Stehle, who became the owner of same. Mr. Stehle died 188<. The Aland new building was built only a short time belore the death, October 1888, of the late Mr. William Aland. Where the Stehle one stands was a brick, erected or owned by our present Mr. Conrad Smith, in which late Hon. William Beatty lived for a short time and in which also the late National Bank bad its first origin aDd was first kept, 1864. The Producers' Dank oi Butler County was also kept there for a short time afterwards. The next building to this is the present Mr M Duchele one, shoemaker and now barber shop. Mr. Buchele bought this from the late Michael Zimmerman, Esq., who lived there at one time Our first recollection of a building there, or about there, was an old frame one in which a Mr. Samuel Johnson lived and had a candy shop. He and his family were a rather queer set, having a good deal of trouble with their neighl«>rs. Where they went or what became of them we suppose no one now living here knows or cares very much. STKWAET LOT. Next to this is the present Mr. Harvey CoD<ert's fine hat and cap store on part of the old Stewart let. Mr. Colbert bought this of the late William Stewart, Esq., or his agent here, about 1805, and carried on the hatting business th-re in connection with bis father, the late Mr. Isaac Coloert, from that time to 1869, when the partner ship ceased An old frame also stood there fifty years ago. Mr. Harvey Colbert erect ed the present brick one. Mr. Isaac Col bert bis father, was a belter hv trad- and came to IJatler abont 1836. He manufac tured hats and had his shop in several other places before being in with his son Harvev, the last of which was nearly across the street from there in a small shop erected by hiin where present A <fc 11 Keiber store now stands. Hatting in his day here and before was a veiy different business from what it is now. Within our recollection almost every man got his hat made at home here, generally of the old stove pipe fushion. The batters, therefore, were more n 1 wcrous in those days than now and the business was among the chief industries of the town, three or four shops being carried on at the same time. If you wanted a hat made, or dressed np, you went to the Gilchrist shop, the Ben. Nib lock shop, the Frank Gilmore uhop, or in later days, to Mr. Colbert's stop. Mr. Colbert, we believe, was the Inst manufac turer here of bats. Now we have the fine nat and cap stores, made and brought from abroad, the Derby and the soft felt being the ruling fashions. Mr Isaac Colbert was known by all as a strictly honest man. All we have said as to the character of Mr. Daniel Collin that respect would apply to Mr. Colbert. They were both chosen Treasurers id the county on account of their honesty of character. Mr. Colbert followed Mr. Coll in that office and we well recollect the arguments made use of for electing him, about 1845, were the same as used for Mr. Coll, to wit, his sterling integrity. About 1842 Mr. Col bert bought the property down North Main Street, where be lived and which is vet in the possession of hi* heirs. He died July 1872. Tbe John nickel boot and shoe store comes next. Where it stands was a frame in which the Hrntinel newspaper was pub listed, first by the late Moses and John Sullivan, Kiwis. then by late WM. Stew art, afterwards by late George W. Smith, Eau , and I'arker C. Purviance, 1840, and last, we believe, by John B. Butler, Ks<j. Mr. George Frederick became the owner of the lot and erected the present brick there*, in which lie bat! his boot and shoe store for some vearn previous to his remov ing to Ohio. When sold as the property ol Mr Frederick it was bought in by Mr. Jobn Herg, who in turn sold the same to present Mr. John Hickel. The corner house of this square, now owned by Messrs. J. and 15. Kemper with their fine saddlery shop and business, was built I y the inte Hon. William Stewart. We do not recollect the date, nor the dif ferent owners of this property In-fore being aurcbast-d by present Messrs. K^iupers. lr. Stewartonco lived in it and afterward* the late Hon. Win. Haslett lived there lor some time. Mil. aTKWAKT. Mr. Stewart was an active citizen of tbe town fifty years ago. He had been Pro thonotary of the county and iu 1853 was elected to lepreeent it in the Legislature and re-elected in IWV4. While there he was one of about thirtv members who stood out and nreventea the election of the late Simon Cameron in one of his early efforts to get U> the United States Senate from 'his State. Hefore that Mr. Stewart wan associated with the lute Hon. Charle* C. Sullivan in the ownership ami improve nient of what is known as the Hickory M ills or Slippery rock Twp , this county, to wbore be removed in IH-fl and remained until 1850. From there he went to Hoy Furnace, Lawrence county, in which prop erty he was interested and where be lived some time. From there h<- removed to his Winfield Furnace propcity in Winfield Twp , tbia county, where lie lived for some time, ami which, we believe, is at present tbe property of bis heirs and considered <|uit« valuable lor Us rich deposits of iron ore anil liuie stone. A railroad to reach these i» now belli* constructed from a point on the West Penn road. When the West Penn road was being located Mr Stewart made an earnest effort to have it" route {-ass by the Wiiilield Furnace instead of its present location. From W infield Fornjc" Mr. tewart removed to New Castle, and from there to Pittsburg, where he lived for some years, and from there back to New Castle shortly before hi death, wl.ich event happened in Jnne IKBH, in the 86th year of his ag< From the above it will be seen that Hon. Win. Stewart was a very active and enter prisiug man, not only In the alfairs of this county hut iu tbe neighboring one of Law ience eouuty. At the iron furnaces he had the native ore was taken out and made into pig iron, un industry quite extensive in this . ection of the country fifty years ago He was at the same time active iu political alfairs and religious works. Iu IH4I he was Cashier of the State Treasury, the late Hon. John Gilmoro of this couuty being than the State Treasurer. He was one of the founders of tho Methodist Church of this place, occupying a leading position in it for years as a teacher and local minister. Iu a word ho was an active man iu ali good works. He was buried at New ( untie where he died among relatives ami his memory is respected by all who knew him. IIAOK*TY-*I I.livam eye AUK Across the street und opposite la»t de scribed win urn is what we will call the liagerty-Sullivan souaro. On the corner where now stands the large IteiLier busi ness block stood, fifty years and moro ago, an old log-frame bouse, used us a hotel. TH» »vl'i.*ui» thn llc(t«r*r pr-.jwiy aotei »" "!?..•* dome Uou*.' A ngu stood in If' ut un wbicu was tbe picture of a large black borse, and hence the name. Three men by the name of Hagerty, said to be among the very earliest corners to the town, owned it seems two lots of this square. They we* Patrick Hagerty, the father, and Alex ander and William, his sons. We have no recollection of the father and bnt little of the sons. But we well recollect the widow and family of Wm. Hagerty keeping hotel in the old' Black Horse, after, we suppose, his death. After they left it was kept by the late Samuel Craig, some members of whose family, we belieTe. are yet living about Millerstown. Mr. A. L. Craig. late County Treasurer, is a grandson of said Samuel. Our present Mr. Christian Otto lived there and kept the Black Horse at one time. Mr. Martin Eyth kept it for a time, and others may have occupied it, but about 1858, it became the property of the late Patrick Kelley. Jr.. who kept the old Black Horse for u numbtr of years. It was finally torn away in part by him and a frame erected, facing Cunningham St., in which a Mr. John Uackett kept some kind of a public house there until happen ed, 1878, one of the most extensive fires Butler was ever visited with. This fire swept away thp Hackett house and all that remained ol the old "Black Horse Hotel," besides burning up two small buildings adjoining on Main btreet, and reaching to and somewhat damaging the Kockenstein buildings and also threaten ing for a time to consume the Sullivan residence. This was the last ol the old Black Horse Hotel. After Mr Kelley died, 1885, the present Messrs. Heibers be came the owners of the lot and erected the tine large business building that now covers the whole lot. This building at once afforded convenient rooms for many offices and societies and has proven a great benefit to our town. It is the largest busi ness building in the town and reflects great credit upon its builders. Next on Main Street were the two small shops mentioned as destroyed by the above fire, one a butcher's shop where present Mr. Henry Krug, Sr., for a long time sold his meat, and the other the shop heretofore mentioned as one in which the late Mr. Isaac Colbert had at one time his hat shop. The late Edward M. Bredin, Esq., had his law office in this for some years. Thomas B. White, Esq.. kept the postoffice there for a short time when he was appointed postmaster, 1870. The ground upon which both stood is now covered by the Keiber building. Next to this, on middle lot, and where now stands the John N. Patterson cloth ing store and the Miss Kockenstein s mil linery and ladies furnishing store, stood, fifty yet rs ago, a rather large frame, one •if the few in the town that was pasnted white. The late Mr. Oliver David was the first owner we recollect of this. The laie Mr. John Berg, we think, was in it for a time. The present Mr. Feigel had his car penter shop there for some time. Finally, 1852, the fate Mr. Anthony Kockenstein became owner and lived and had his shop there until a disastrous fire, 1859, burned it down Mr. Kockenstein immediately after this fire erected the present brick, a part of which was purchased lately by Mr. John X. Patterson and where is at present his clothing and gentleman's furnisl imf store. The other part reuiains in the famu» of Mr. Kockenstein and is occupied as mentioned by daughters of his as a millinery store. "Mr. Anthony Kockenstein came to But ler about 1841. He was a tailor by trade and for some years had his shop in the south end of town in part of the present residence of Mr s Wm. Aland. Ho was an industrious and v*ry quiet man in his ways, and as honest a man as we ever knew. Of all the old citizens whom we have spoken of as good and honest none surpassed Mr. Kockenstein in those traits of character. He died in October 1880, and his worthy wife followed him only about two mouths after. Next to the Kockenstein was, fifty years ago, another frame, fust occupied within our recollection by a Mr. Uecker, a shoe maker. and then by a Br. Dockaliere, a Frenchman. When the Are that '>urned down the Kockenstein bouse took ylace, 1859, this I)r. Dockaliere lived in this ad joining one, also burned down then, and there were very strong suspicions that he was the cause of the fire. He had his property insured in four or five companies, as appeared after the fire, but failed to recover any insurance money from any of them. He was a desperate kind of a char acter and generally dreaded. Various stories were told of hiin in the practice of his profession as a doctor. He left here short!v after this fire. The late Nicholas and Lewis Miller bought this Dockaliere lot, about 1860, and built the present brick upon it. They were butchers by trade and built it for a meat market, for which pur pose it has been used almost ever since, at present by the M -ssrs. Johnston, and late fy bv Messrs. Hale Clark and Wick. Mr. Lewis Miller, however, lived in part ol it. and died there, about 1871. Messrs. Nicholas and Lewis Miller were brothers and came to Butler about 1853. \S ben their property was sold it was purchased by- Mr. John Berg. Jr., who is present owner. The Miller brothers had also purchased a part of the late Joseph Mc(jui«ti»u square in the south end of town, Main St., where Mr. Nicholas Miller removed and was liv ing at the time of bis death, 1874. A daughter of bis, Mrs. Christian Barley, now owns and lives thero. The next lot of thi# Kjnare is that upon which stands the present residence ol Col. John 11 Sullivan. It wa< erected by bin father, the late John Sullivan, EIMJ., in the year IM4U, almost fifty year* ago, and hence we call it by the name we do. The resi dence of Oil. Sullivan in the first and only one that has ever been on thin lot. There fore, we cannot nay of it as we have of many before, that an "old frame once fttood there," unli ■«, indeed, we apply thai term to a blacksmith shop The lirst building we recollect being on thin lot wa.- a blacksmith chop that kUMMI just about where the residence of Col. Sullivan stands. It wan carried on by Andrew Sproul and John Howe, under the firm name of Spronl A- Howe. And here it will be ob served that this in the third blacksmith shop we have spoken of as b. :tig on Main Street fifty years ago, one of them on so prominent a part it- the Diamond. Should one now be planted upon Main Street it would create general alarm and be do clared a public nuisance by general con nect. Hut times have changed, and so have blacksmith shop*. Now they are ordered to the rear, to lake a back seat, »- the aylng in, on the alleys or crona RtreetK. However, the blacksmith business cannot be rubbed or *quee*ed out, a* has been the hatter, the tanner, and some other of the industries of the former day* of the town. The blackstni'.h shot) is a necessity and it has come to stay. Hats ami leather may be supplied from abroad, but nothing yet discovered can supply the horses with ohoes or drive thetu upon their feel except the hammer of lite home blacksmith. In this respect that worthy trade would seem to have a lochl advantage over some others, in that it cannot be supplanted or competed with from outsiders to the same extent that other trades can. Mr. Andrew Spronl in his day here wasa good ami useful citizen. After leaving the Sullivan lot he removed his *l>op to Water Street at foot of West Wayne, and there built a shop and a house where the family of the late John F. Manny now resides. From here be removed to Taren turn, Allegheny Co., at b ast 40 years ago, and is long since deceased. What became of Mr. John Howe, hi* partner, we do not know. Feb'y 18, IHOI. J. H. N.

Washington Township Notes. Lyman Billiard, one of Washington twps. respected citizens met with a serious accident on Saturday of last week. He and his brothers own and operate a saw mill, and Lyman did the sawing. He steped inside the saw frame to change the feed and losing his footing he fell on the saw mandrel. His clothing caught on the shaft and he was hurled around with such force as to break his arm in three places and also break two of his ribs. Mifflin Smith's little boy of three or four years of age fell iu their well and was killed on Sabbath dav t>f this week. The family of William Dickey are all laid np with the grip. Most of our schools had to close for awhile on account of sickness. They have started again but the attendance is small yet. Miss Mau-l Jack of North Washington is on the sick list. She has been ailing for some time. The farmers are commencing to think abont getting ready for their spriDg work. Now is the time to get everything in readiness so as to be ready to start the plow at the lirst opportunity. The early crops arc the ones that pay. The fanners are being badly imposed on by trusts,monopolies and unequal taxation but I honestly believe the majority of Bnt ler county farmers are losing more through careless habits on the farm than from all the other causes mentioned. I believe in farmers organizing to protect their rights, but I think tbey ought to right the wrongs at homo before they spend too much time and money trying to regulate trusts and monopolies after their notion. i think it would look better at least. Now I don't mean to say anything against farmers and laboring men organic ing to protect and further their interests, but I don't want them to lose sight of the wrongs at home which thoy could so easily remedy.
