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

The Farmers' Alliance is making great
strides in Lawrence county, Pa. It is es

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 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.

Recollections of Butler; or Fifty Years
Ago.
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.

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. J OK.
