Republican County Ticket
Per Jary CemnUtoeloser.
WILLIAM R. PATTERSON.
The Mercer County Committee.
The doings of the Republican County
Committee of Mercer county are interest
ing to the Republicans of this county; and
Irom the Repnblican papers of that county
for last week we make the following
notes.
The Committee met in the Court House
st Mercer on Saturday, the 6th inst; was
presided over by its Chairman Thomas
Perry, and a majority of the districts were
represented either by the delegates elected
or proxies.
Saturday. Aug. Ist was fixed as the
time for holding the primary, and the
Chairman was instructed to issue a call for
the election of three delegates, aa Got.
Pattison had not yet signed the Legislative
Apportionment bill.
On motion of Major McDowell, the
Chairman was authorized to appoint a com
mittee of three to confer with the similar
committees of the other counties of this
Congressional district, as to the propriety
of changing the method of nominating
Congressmen, and the Chairman appointed
Major A. McDowell of Sharon, Capt P. E.
Shipler of Mercer and W. L. Kennedy of
Grove City.
In his remarks in support of his motion
Major McDowell said he wanted the com
mittees to meet •» harmony not at Harmo
ny.
Alter that matter bad been disposed of
the matter of the proposed change in the
manner of making their local nominations
came up. The Republican nominations ot
that county are made by the delegate sys
tem and have been for years, but that
method appeal* to have beoome unsatisfac
tory to a part, at least, of the party in the
eounty, and at the convention last year a
committee consisting ot fire, with Hon. 8.
H. Miller as Chairman, was appointed to
report a plan for making a change. The
resolutions this committee had adopted
were read as follows:
Resolved, That we recommend to the
County Committee, which is to meet in
Mercer, Fa., on June 6, 1891, the submis
sion to the Republican voters of the ooun
ty at the next primaries the question of a
change of the rales in the following man
ner. Ttz: For the popular rote system, or
against the popular rote system; and that
the Republican voters at the primaries be
requested to vote on this proposition and
make report of the result of the vote in
each District to the next Republican Coun
ty Convention.
Resolved, That the Committee advise
the adoption of the popular vote system in
making nominations for Congress and Sen
ate in this Congressional and Senatorial
District
And Chairman Perry ruled them out of
order for the reason that the motion creat
ing the committee required their report to be
made to the next county convention. This
uling was appealed from by Mr. Miller,
who defended the action'of{his committee
and their resolutions and an acrimonious
debate followed but the chair was sustain
ed by a vote of 27 to 10, and "Reform" in
Mercer county, so for as their local affairs
are concerned, will be for next year, not
this year. This action of the Committee
is unanimously condemned by the Repub
lican press of the county, so for as we bare
seen, and though it shows that the set of
fellows who have been controlling the Re
publican nominations in Mercer county are
not inclined to let go their hold, it need
not interfere with the popular vote system
in the Congressional District.
TH« Republican Bute Convention of
Ohio met at Columbus, Tuesday, and or
ganised, and next day nominated William
McKinley, Jr., of Stark Co., for Governor;
Andrew L. Hurls, of Preble, for Lieut.
Governor; B. W. Pot, of Wood, for Audi
tor; W. T. Cope, of Cuyahoga, for Treas
urer; J. K. Richards, of La wren oe, for At
torney-General; M. J. Williams, of Fayette,
for Snpreme Judge; 0. 1. Groce, of Pick
away, for Board of Public Works; C. T
Carson, of Guernsey, for Commissioner of
Public School; and H. B. McNeil, of
Miami, for Dairy and Food Commissioner.
The four leading nominations were made
by acclamation, and the utmost harmony
and good nature prevailed.
GOVBBMOB PATTISOX'S veto of the ex
pense bills of several Legislative commit
tees will naturally excite the criticism of
members who are directly aflected, but
Governor Pattison is right in his action.
It is qqite time that something was done
to put a stop to the useless and extravagant
expenditure of the public money in this
way. It is an imposition upon the people
which bas no warrant.
It has become the custom not only for
regular committees of the Legislature to go
about here and there on pretended inquires
for which the law otherwise provides,
but almost immediately upon the assem
bling of the Legislature special committees
- are created for junketing purposes. One of
these was the Joint Committee to Inquire
into Bank Failures. It had a number of
sessions here and some others in Pittsburg,
and about all that it aooomplished was to
put in a bill of 17600 for expenses. Anoth
er charge of like useless character was that
of the Senate Finance Committee, which
wanted S3OOO for investigating the Phila
delphia City Treasury. What did it give
the State in return for this amountf—Phil
adelphia Press
A N'KW YORK girl named Carner, a
daughter of the millionaire cotton manu
factuer who was drowned in his yacht
aome years ago, has married the English
Lord Gor don-Cummin g», who was dis
graced by the late baccarat triaL The
trial has developed a strong feeling against
gambling throughout England, and the
Prince.of Wales' was jeered and hooted at the
Ascot races. The Prince is being freely criti
cized by the press of the country, and the
affair may yet end his hopes of succeed
ing his mother on the tbrone.
Osti of the most ridiculous arrangements
ever entered into was continuing the term
of the Chairman of the State Committee to
the first of January. However obnoxious
a|obairman may be to the State candidates
under the present arrangement they are
compelled to submit to his management
even if his utter unfitness is apparent to
every one. The next State Contention
should put «n end to that kind of nonsense.

Harrisburg Notes.
On Thursday last, GOT. Pattison vetood
four kills—the SUt« Wcalher Service bill;
A local school bill; the additional Bird-book
bill; and the fireman's relief association
bill. The GOT. always gives his reasons
for vetoing a bill and as he seems to be
thoroughly conversant with the Con
stitntion of the state, his vetoes make
interesting reading, and they should be
read by every aspirant for legislative honors
in the state.
On Friday last the Governor signed „the
following bills—Amending the horse-racing
act of 1820 so as not to apply to horses used
in races and to incorporated trotting as
sociations; enabling any township which
adjoins a borough or city to hold its
elections within the corporate limits of said
borongh of city; preventing the adulteration
of cider vinegar; amending the act relating
to construction and condemnation of turn
pikes; providing for taking appeal* in case
of diTorce; relating to competency of
certain witnesses in ciTil cases where the
assignor in action is dead or has been
adjudged a lunatic; amending the act re
lative to a free bridge over the Delaware
rj Ter; making an appropriation for the
deficiency in the salary of the President
Judge of the Tenth Judicial district; allow
ing the Equinunk Bridge Company to con
struct abridge oTer the Delaware river:and
he vetoed ten bills as follows —relating to
the sale of real estate of corporations, for
the reason that a simlar statute is already
on the books; to protect holders of casualty
insurance polices, three priTate relief bills,
authorizing the sale of real estate by
persons named in a will other than the
executor; supplement to a church bill; in
creasing the number of agents of the state
Board of Charities; two publication bills;
regarding brevet commissions to graduates
of military acadamies.
With the exception of a few items, the
Gov. last week, approved of the general
appropriation bill. The vetoed items were
'those providing for the expenses of Legis
lature investigating committees, for copy
ing old documents, and for additional
factory inspectors.
Under the new revenue law the tax on
personal property in Pennsylvania will
give the State $546,965.55 and the counties
$1,640,897 52. There are neasjy two thous
and corporations in Pennsylvania which
will be affected by the Borer tax bill.
These corporations pay in the aggregate
oyer $1,900,000 in capital stock tax to the
State. The Boyer act adds two mills to
this tax, which Auditor General McCamant
estimates will increase the revenues from
this source alone about $1,500 000.
The Supreme Court unstained Governor
Pattisons appointment of W. R. Wright,
as treasurer of Philadelphia, and that city
now has a treasurer who is at least right
by name.

A New Lien Law
The new lien law just signed by Governor
Pattison provides as follows:
"That no contract which shall hereafter
be made for the erection of the whole or of
any part, of a new building, with the own
er ofthe lot on which the same shall be
erected, shall operate to interfere with or
to defeat the right of a sub-contracter who
shall do work or shall furnish materials
under agreement with the original contrac
tor in aid of such erection, to file mechanics
lien ot the amount which shall be due for
the value of such work or materials furnish
ed, unless such sub contractor shall have
consented in writing to be bound by the pro
visions of such contract with the owner in
regard to the filing of liefis. Without such
written consent or the sub-contracter all
contracts between the original contractor
and the owner which shall expressly or im
pliedly stipulate that no such lien shall be

• A Meadvillc resident is the only man
who has yet come forward with an origi
nal suggestion worthy of note for the
worlds's (air in Chicago. His device, if
practicable, will be both pleasure giving
and money making. He wants a mammoth
swing, 500 feet high, erected to be operat
ed by electricity. It will support a hand
some car which will carry 50 persons. Ac
cording to the designer's calculation, the car
will swing a distance of 1,250 feet. At
the extremity of each sweep it will lift
the passengers a height of 4CO feet, afford ing
them a flash view of the exposition, the
city, surrounding country and lake. Mid
way in its flight the car will travel swifter
than a bird and faster than a mile a minute-
It is to be so stupendous and startling that
it will be dubbed the eighth wonder of the
world.

From the nature of the human there is con

Christianity of the eighteenth century has
given place to the more spiritual faith of
the nineteenth.

"The Qualifications of the Succesalul
Teacher" was opened by Br. Irvine, who
said success in anything depends on
thorough preparation. To be successful
the teacher must be a constant Bible read
er. He should have a thorough knowledge
of the Bible and of the lesson and its sur
roundings. He should cultivate habits of
civility aud kindness. The mission of the
Sunday School is to teach children their
duty to their parents, and parenU their
duty to their children; man his dn;y to his
fellow-man. and the duty of all to God.
J. C. Kerr enumerates these as qualifi
cations: 1. Piety. The teacher should be
a Christian bv profession and practice. 2.
Knowledge of the Scriptures. 3. Knowl
edge of human nature. 4. Enthusiasm.

Rev. Stark, Rev. Kerns, D. B. Doutbett,
H. S. Daubenspeck, and others. Among
the qualifications enumerated were these:
Have the class a.-k questions; ability to in
terest the class and impart instruction; be

ness to duty; success is ability to help the
class: intelligence in the Scriptures and the
conversion «»T the scholar.

Sabbath is an educator. In a life-time
there are enough Sundays to take a full
college course and several post-graduate
courses. Store up a knowledge of God's
work.
Kev. Coulter divided his address into
three parti-, li-t; Kindness.—Be kind at
home and at school, to playmates, to

DEATHS
BLACK—At his residence in Marion Twp.,
on Saturday. June IJ. lM'l. William
Black, Esq., in hi- *lst year,
lie was a piomiuent citizen of Butler
I county and for many years a leading citi
1 zeu ot that section of the county, one of
| the oldest men of the township, he has
long been a useful eiti/-u, and now that he
has gone to his long home, the familiar
form of William Black will lie missed at
home, in the social circle, and the church
of his choice, where he had long been a
member and earnest supporter. As a citi
zen Mr. Black Life done well his part in
every walk of life, During the war he gave
three of his s.ms to the service of his
country, all three of whom were killed in
battle, and notwithstanding this great sac
rifice Mr. Black bowed in submission to
the decree of (ate, such vras the stamp ol
his' patriotism. Mr. Black was elected
Justice of the Peace —and a Justice he was
in reality—as to do justice was iiis aim and
ambition. He alwat - advised the settle
ment of differences between parties rather
than encourage litigation, lie leaves sur
viving him two sons. S. J. Black and W.
E. Black, and three daughtets, M. J. Bad

Bartley, Esq. in the 7l»tb year of his age.
In the death of Williamson Bartley the
county loses one of its best and most
prominent citizens. As a man he stood
high in all the relations of life. Mainly by
his own industry and hard work while a
young man he cleared off the forest trees
of what is now oue ot the finest farms in
the county. The discovery of oil upon his
land upon Tiiorncreek, about ten years
ago, put him in easy circumstances and
enabled hiin to provide liberally and
judiciously for all bis children. Ho'was a
man of rolmst constitution, and had been
ill but a short time,but his disease appeared
to bailie all medical skill. His l'uueral.
which took place on Sunday last, was the
largest known hereabouts for many years,
more than two hundred vehicles of various
kinds surrounded his late residence on that
morning.balf of which followed his remains
to the Butler South Cemetery, a distance
ot four miles.
The services at (lie bouse were perform
ed by the Rev. Mr. Cooper of Shiloh U. P.
Church, of which Mr. Hartley was a
member. They were impressive ami ap
propriate. The wife oi'Mr. Hartley, whose
maiden name Pearce, preceded bim
in death some three or four years ago. His
ehildreu and relatives have the sympathy
of the entire community iu their great loss.
lie was the father of eight children six of
whom—Mrs. Robt. A. l'atterson, Mrs. W.
1. Hurton.Mrs. David K I)odds, Mrs. \\ m.
(i. I>outhett, Maggie Hartley and W. E.
Hartley—survive him.
FLIXXER—At his home near Petersville,
May 28, 1801, Charles Flinntr, in the
:Msth year of hi-, age.
Mr. Flinner t uttered for three months from
the effects of "grippe.'' He was au earn
est Christian and had endeared himself to
all. A wife and one son mourn their loss.
