FRIDAY. DECEMBER 13, IWI
Wl, this week, publish the comments of
several of the Republican papers of this
Congressional district on the action of the
Ovnmittee at Iti late meeting at New Cas
"tle.
Butler county seems to be the only coun
ty in tha dlfirict which iannnnimously in
—IIIUI ui in pvyuiu lute, AH tno otter
counties are divided on the questien, or
else are misrepresented by their dele
gates.
The district is composed of the adjoin
ing counties of Butler, Mercer, Lawrence
and Beaver and is bounded by their out
side Ones—of their inside lines no more
hand should be taken than is now taken of
township lines in a county election.
The popular vote method of making nom
inations is the plain, simple, natnral meth
<*} mil Is the only fair one. It should
prevail, even to Bute nomiminations.
Hera'a your Mule.
The Meroer Dispatch trots it out, ot
course. It is just snch a witter as was to
be, or is to be expected, in view of its sur
roundings. Here it is:
The committee appointed by the several
counties composing this congressional dis
trict, to perfect a better plan of making
congressional nominations t ban the present,
met on Monday at the Fountain Hoase.
New Castle. All the delegates were present
except two frein Butler. Several plans
were proposed and discussed, no definite j
action being taken on any, but tha prevail
ing opinion seemed to be adverse to the
Crawlord county plan. After two sessions
of several hours each tbe committee ad
journed to meet at the same place on Jan
6th. 1802. We are pleated to know there
is no danger of the adoption of the Craw
lord county system, as we are still of the
opinion that it is tha most vicious and de
moralizing plan that could be adopted by
any party. , A .
AnR because the Dispatch is of the
opinion that the Crawford County Syateia
is bad it is to be doomed in this county and
district! Is that the siie of itt Now the
voting cattle of the party know what is in
store for them, —the bargvn-and sale sys
tem that is now in vogue fjr making Can
grettsional nominations. This is what ad -
journment means-, it is to clinch the chains
with aa little violence as possible. A mo
tion to adopt the popular plan was voted
down, and that indicates what will be tha
result of the final vote in tbe conference.
It is not in the deal to have the popular
YQte system this year. Qaay can't afford
to have it that way. So cattle take your
medicine, and go to your stalls —voting
stalls.
In spite of the bald assertion of the
Dispatch, repeated with damning iteration
that tbe popular Vote System is reprehen
sible, five oat of every six Republican vot.
era in Crawford county,where the system
originated, have testified otherwise, and
it has had a through trial in that county. .
No, the trouble is, that with the people
of the party to the frout, the Bosses must
take a back seat, and that explains the
desperate struggle for life on the part of
the latter. Bnt the mills ef the gods grind
slow—but they grind!—Greenvillo Xeici.
Thi ooeup.muy of part of Cashmere in
Central Asia, and tue fight between the
native troops, led on one side by Russian
and on the other by British officers, ua.i
the fact that some British officers were
killed, has given rise to war talk in
London. Cashmere is not a British pos
session, but its ruler favors the English,
and the Rnsmona are encroaching upon his
territory in order to secure a foothold oa
the borders ot India.

It was urged the other day in New Ca.«le
against the popular veto system, that tbe
expense to candidate", in waking a canvass
in tbe four couaties would b« simply enor
mous. How sot And in what way! They
wonld have to announce their candidacy in
the party papers ofthe district—but would
not the nominee receive ample compensa
tion in return at their bands, when a wicked
and vieious fight was wagnd against him?
Can it be called "expense', for a candidate
to pass through the several counties, and
make himself acquainted with the people
he is ambitions to represent in the Cengres*
ofthe United States? Compare the cost ol'
announcing in tbe newspapers of the several
counties, with 'he cost of maintaining, say
60 hungry delegates, at expensive betels,
day after day, week after week, with inter
mission.- and postponements, running all
through the summer, and see where you
will come outt Under the delegate sy st ni,
the contest begun, then is no telling a lien. ]
where, or how it will end. Under the |
popular vote system, whenever tho prima
ries aro cloned, and the votes counted at
the county seat, the Congressional nomin
ation is made, the only conference
afterward necessary is simply a of
clerks to compile the aggregate vote of tue
district.—Beaver Times.

"Fighting the Battle#O'er. "
One of the most inspiring meeting* ever
held by the Veterans of the late war took
place at the Court House on Thnr*da.~
evening. The occasion waa the receptlo
of General Boyer. and Staff, and the larg*
court room was filled to overflowing, in
deed hundred* were turned away. The
very large cumber of ladiei ahowed the
popularity of the soldiers in en unmistaka
ble way.
The meeting waa called to order by Will
Lowry, commander Home Post, and
Rev. W. ■. Oiler in an impressive invoca
tion opened the evening exercises. Capt
George W. Fleeger waa elected Piesiden:
and the liet of Tice Presidents include-!
such well known names aa Gen. Reed, Col.
Alex Lowry, Col. John M. Bnllivan, Col
John M. Tbempson, and other*. Captain
Fleeger's address on accepting the offic«
waa listened to with great interest and
profit. He spoke of the G. A. R. organi
sation, and said that it's badge was a sign
of honorable service in defense of the r. n
ion, and ef an honorable discharge. It - '
friendships were formed in the dark dayao:
the war. and welded ia the fire of batt'c
I That the ashes of Butler County's dead
i mingle with the fields of nearly every battle
ofthe war. Upon the conclusion ol his much
applauded address, H. H. Bengoagb. of
Pittsburg, was elected Master of Ceremo
nies, aad in a few well chosen words ac
cepted his position, if rs. A. C. Anderson
followed with a solo delightfully rendered."
Comrade George Boyer, Commander of the
Department of Pennsylvania, was then in
troduced. He said that ha and his Staff
would be callous indeed if they did
not appeciate the welcome extended them.
He thought the turnout indicative of pa
triotism. He spoke of the G. A. R. and
said it was founded on fraternity, chaity
and loyalty. Ho stated that there are
500,800 veterans ia tha G. A. R. and 45.-
o#o in the GO6 posts of this State. Pro
longed applause followed his speech. Mr*.
R. P. Scott then sang the solo "Erin on
the Rhine'' in her well known style.
Samuel P. Towne, Adj.-General of the
Dept. of Penn'a., was then introduced.
He spoke of the continued evidences of the
good feeliug of the people towards the G
A. R. that had greeted them on every sidii
lately. The benefit ofthe organization to
the veteran soldier has been immense. The
Soldiers Orphans Homes, the schools for
their children, and the pension laws are
all traceable in a great Measure to the
activity of the G. A. R.
Miss Ella Campbell fallowed with a
piano solo, which her admirers promptly
encored. Col. John M. Thompson
theu called on and made oue of the most
polished addresses of the evening. The
Col. spoke of the inevitable disbanding of
the G. A. R. There can be no volunteer*
—no draft. Soon a veteran will slant:
alone. He called on the sons of veteram
to keep the spirit of loyalty and partriotisir.
aflame, and the memory of the G. A. R
green. He said the men who saved the
natiou wer* as kind as lambe and as in
offensive as suckling doves. A solo by
Mrs. C. Herr was next on the prograu
and was greatly appleauded. Comrade
Bengengh then oalled on Col. Redio, who
made a most amusing address and con
vinced everyone of his valae as an im
promptu speaker.
J. B. Black then gave the Germai
version ef Barbara Fritchie, which con
vulsed the whole bouse. Becgongh then
called on R P. Scott. Esq. and Mr. Scott
responded in a taking address. He said
tbar the G. A R. was thought to be t
secret society, but it is a mistake. Every
thing is open and free, but signs and
countersigns. Jos. B. Criswell was then
called npon and in bis inimitable manner
made one of the most humorons
of the evening. His re narks were inter
rupted continuously with langliter
applause. Beaito'igh then humoromlv
and wittily introduced Thus. G. Sample,
by telling bow he had tried to flirt wifh »
cow with a white tail that evening. Mr
Sample came back at the gentlomnn in
good style, as the pugniislc say, and thei:
gitvo a good talk to tha audience on G. A
R. matters. Upon the conclusion of hi.
remarks, a solo by A. G. 'Williams. Esq..
closed the evening's entertainment, and a
isrowd of well pleaded people left the room

Southern California.
Mr. EDITOR- -My last was written imme
diately after our arrival here. Thanks for
the "CITIZEN," which bas reached us It
is good news lrom a far country. We had
the first rain of this season last night and
ot-day. Imagine no rain since last April,
how refreshing a'.shower would be; dust,
dust, dnst everywhere. This is now over
for a few months. The farmers to whom ir
rigat ion is impossible arc rejoiced .There has
been little plowing and less =owing,as yet.
There are great scopes of country in the
San Joaquin and San Gabriel Valleys not
bronght under irrigation. These are the
great wheat and barley fields of southern
California, and unless there is a reasonable
rainfall from this until April the crops will
be a failure. And a crop failure means
much to a country wheraamixed husband
rv is impossible, as is in nearly all of this
state.
We have been three weeks in Southern
California ar.d have seen considerable of
the country. We wore as far south as sail
Diego and crossed the line into Mexico,
passed through the Custom House,received
the Government Stamp of "All Right and
gave the "Gresar 'on his native soil. The
chief husbandry of this section is fruit
growing, andv) the principal fruit pro
ducts arc the orange, lemon and grape.
While the citrous fruits predominate, the
deciduous fruits aro being now extensively
cultivated year after year. The Euglish
walnut is a rapid grower, an early fruiter
and when in full bloom yield* a good in
come on the investment. We have seen
some very fine orange groves, One of 40
acres at Monrovia i< estimated to yield this
year from 300 to 1,000 dollars per acre
And a ranch# of 80 acres in" San Diego
Co can be bought for *105,000. This
would seem to be a fabulous price, but the
crop in the fi-'ld, it is expected will be
sold for SIOOO per acre. Wuiie the above
statements I think, are facts, not all the
land in the orange belt is alike pro
ductive and a struuger may be greatly de
ceived in making investments here. Then
the tree is subject to a parasitic blight
called the ■ scale" which is very injurious.
Grape culture is an extensive industry, the
raison and wine grapes predominating
Both these industries are said to be quite
remunerative. But the wine grape is
subject to blight which has destroyed hun
dreds of acre* of Vineyards As yet no
remedy has been discovered. It must be
•aid that a government inspector visits the
oranse eroves in some counties and when
the "scale" is discovered, the grove is cut
down by legal anthority. Thus it will be
seen that fruit farming in this golden State
is not smooth sailing.
Los Angelo? is a city ol about 00,000 in
population. Its chief business is merchan
dizing and exporting the fruits of the
surrounding country. It bas many good
buildings, both public and private, is fine
ly situated and is capable of ajmost un
limited extension. Many tourists abide
here during the winter. Its harbor is
Redondo Beach. The bay is not so wel;
protected as San Francisco or s>an Diego,
but will reoieve the largest ocean vessels.
At the beach there is a good hotel and it is
a noted summer and *in tor resort.
Monrovia i# a lively town at the base oi
ihe foothills, 18 miles from this city. Ite
chief bu«iue*s is fruit culture. The land
is all under irrigation. Every land owner
lia» a free water privilege in fee simple.
Tbe soil is "decomposed granite" and is
peculiarly adapted to orange and lomon
culture, Passadena, liiver Side, Pomona
and Orange aro noted for their extensive
orangn groves. While we write of ' exten
sive orange groves," it must be understood
that not w*>re than one tenth of the lend
South of San Francisco is under culti
vation There are -everal reasons for thi*
—firr-t, nearly all that is not under culu
vat ion is largely held by non-resident lanu
owners, that is, by owners, whether in the
*tate or out of it, who do not reside on
their lands. Such lands are largely held
for uxstl are pal ou the markei
at prices wnich prouibit settlement.
Again, since nearly all of this is and laud,
it is not undsr cultivation lor waut ol
irrigation. While jt is clainjcd thai the
water suppiy is amply sufficient, Ui utiiiz*
the suppiy is very expensive and entirely
beyond tne reach of email capjlists. The
water wuppiy for the city of f>au L)iego ami
tha intervening country if collet;u>d in a
• nnyon in thi Mountains and conveyed lit
flume .i distance ol to miles. i'art «t
;ni» 11 tittle is a ca..al and part an aqueduct.
Some idea of the co»t of irrigation may b.
lornieti from a description oi the Sweet
Watrrdrtm. Tuis dam .upplies National
Cit v and the adjacent country, which lie*
a lew utiles South ol San Diego. Tne dam

necessary to water every foot of land
brought Uuder cultivation. It is uppareni
that iartrn corporations of capitalists must
be formed io euioark ia irrigating systems
before the remain nig nine, tenths of this
great state will be ready for the plow and
tbe seedsman. Caliiornia is yet in its
infancy. It has a genial climate, a
salubrious atmosphere, a fertile soil, water
only is wanting to make its sandy waste :

NEIGHBORHOOD NOTES.
In a town in one of the northern countios
' of this state there lives a little old man
who sells milk, carrying it from house to
house morning and evening in a small
handcart. There is nothing strange about
that, bnt his companion on these daily
trips is the strangest you ever heard ol au
old gray goose, who follows him about in
the most dignified manner, and stands
watch over tho cart, letting no one go near
it in his masters absence. His name is
Kajor. and his master says that he is just
as useful as a dog would be.
Jacob W. StaatTer, a wealthy liquor
dealer of Columbia, committed suicide in
his store a few days ago, and went about
it in a very peculiar manner. He arranged
the gun. which was heavily charged with
shot, so that the muzile 'was clo»e to his
heart, and he sat fn a chair in front of the
gnu. He attached a string to the trigger,
and by pulling it discharged the gnn. His
clothing took fire from the shot, and the
smell of smoke brought out the fire depart
ment, and in that way the suicide was
discovered. He was a bachelor, 50 years
old, and worth 160,000.

The recent rise in the rivers was a boon
to the lumbermen of the Clarion river
country. Fully 2,000,000 feet of lumber
went down the Allegheny river to market
from that region. The lumber sold for sl4
per 1,000 feet; barge plank from $lB to S2O,
and general «tufl' at $9 per 1,000 feet.

Jack the Squeezer is still terrorizing Erie.
The girls who venture out evenings are in
mortat fear of him, but it is noticed that
they persist in venturing out and running

Clarion is enjoying a suiali war over the
location of the postoffico. About a month
ago the Pepartment issued an order for the
removal of the offkis frcm Jlje building now
occupied to anotbe r somewhat remote fram

sent in protesting against the removal aud
the order was suspended pending an inves
tigation. Postoffico Inspector McCalmont
has been 1 ooking up locations, but each
choice wß.i met by a storm of opposition
from some particular section of the town,
and what was once a friendly rivalry ha
uow become a warm fight.
