Township Accounts.
A correspondent of an exchange favors
thfcposs/sge of a law requiring Township
TfeaSuTCT* and Supervisors to make sworn
statements of their accounts with the town
ships, and post them in a conspicuous
place at each voting-place lor the inspec
tion of voters on election day. and the
editor in his editorial comment says:
"The acoounling for the management of
local business practically comes after the
jurors have been called upon to render
their verdict,instead of before,as it should.
Every year most of the voters, when they
go to the polls to select nnblic officers,
know comparatively little of the details of
the management of affairs by men who are
asking for re-election; and when they do
learn what has been done the year before,
it is then too late to recall the votes they
have cast for inefficient or delinquent
officers. This is evidently not as it should
be; and the need for such a change of the
law as will enable the voters to learn, a
reasonable time before election, jnst what
their official servants have been doing,
must be apparent to any man of sense.
But this is not the only amendment
needed in the administration of local af
fairs. At present bills are universally
allowed and paid by the officers who con
tracted them before they are audited at all.
Then, long after the persons rendering the
service or furnishing the materials havo
received their pay and spent it, the public
Auditors meet to look over the vouchers
and certify that they agree with the dis
bursing officer's acoount. It is true that
in theory the Auditors have power to dis
allow a bill or to scale it down; but
pactically that power is hardly ever used,
and the bills are almost inevitably p assod
as present<9d because it is urged that it is
hardly fair to make an officer refund money
that he hasn't kept himself, although he
may have expended it improvidently. The
result of this state of affairs is that the
auditing of the local accounts is practical
ly a farce and afloids HO real protection to
the tax payer.
They manage these things better in our
neighboring Btate; and our legislators will
do well to study the laws of New York
with a view to improving our own in this
regard. In that State the person present
ing a bill is required to verify it, and it is
then considered by the local auditors be
fore it is paid. This system affords the
tax payers reasonable protection against
the allowance and payment ot inordinate
or fraudulent claims, giving the auditing
officers power to oontract the public purse
strings before the money is paid out. Tb«
wisdom of this manner of doing business.
Instead of trying to recover the money
after it has been paid out, must be appar
ent to every man of sense. The sub
sequent publication of these local bills
with a statement of the amount claimed
and allowed adds a farther safeguard to a
system well calculated to prevent thr
wasteful or corrupt expenditure of the
public fpnds. That the establishment »f a
similar system of managing county, town
ship and borongh affairs would bo a great
improvement on our laws relating to local
finances must be self evident to any citi
zen who will reflect on the sabject.
A DEMOCRATIC member of Congress ba
in trod need a resolution repealing the De
pendent Pension law and wiping out all
pensions granted under it. That, il passeo
wonld effect 100,000 Union soldiers. On
Monday tb« Democratic House passed a
bill increasing the pensions of the soldiers
of tbe Mexican war from $8 per month to
sl2 per m< nth. Nine out of every ten ol
the Mexican soldiers now receiving pen
sions are from the Sonth and most ot them
served in the robel army dnring the late
rebellion. These straws show how the
Democratic wind is blowing.
Tbe Poisoning Case.
The District Attorney ot Allegheny Co
is causing a wholesale arrest of the rivei
cooks, many of whom were employed at
Homstead during the strike.
Millerstown.tbis county had fourviotims j
of Homestead poisoning.
They are L. H. Craig. George Arny, H
B. Thompson and George North. Each ol
these men had good paying positions ii>
the mill, bot they were among the first to
be stricken with the mysterious maladj
which they say has sent more men to tbeii
graves than tbe general pablio dream of
They held on at the works, thinking theii
ailments would yield to tbe ordinary treat
ment, bnt were finally brought home brok
en down and almost helpless. ArnyV
troubles have developed liver complaint,
and, although he was a large, health}
man, be is now a living skeleton and is
unable to do anything: In speaking ol
the condition of things at tbe mill during
the strike tbe men all tell the same storj
substantially as follows:
"We bad worked in tbe mill only a fe®
days when we were attacked with severe
cramps and dysentery. Because ma<iv
other workmen were affected in the sam>
way we attributed it to some general cause
and finally agreed tbat it must the water
and tbe change of our manner of life The
thing that finally alarmed and discouraged
ua was tbe fact the treatment given us at
the hospital department in the works did
us no good, and it was only a question ol
time until we were physically unable to do
our work, and were forced to come home
"The newspapers have told little or noth
ing about tbe terrible condition of affaire
that existed at one time within tbe HO call
ed stockade, where the stenches ano
foulness incidental to the character of tin
prevailing malady amon* so many men
was at times almost an bearable, even t<
those who were not so badly affected, par
ticnlarly when the days were hot. It wa>
a condition of things where sickness begot
sickness, despite all that the company
could do, and tbe company poured oui
money like water in providing tor tbe men
in its employ at that time. Veteran sol
diers who saw the horrors of Southern
stockade prison pens told us it recalleo
their experience in prisons. Looking back
at it. now seems like a horrible dream, and
if a lair trial of tbe men accused of poison
ing us shows that the cbaTgea are true,
whether popular sentiment serves to shield
them or not, they deserve punubment for
wholesale murder, and it they are unfairly
acquitted some men among tbe man>
whom tbey have rained for life will surelj
wreak on tb«m tbe vengence tbey merit."
Glade Mills also had a couple of cases.
A mill foreman is quoted as follows: "1
do not think the charges are tramped up
or made for effect, as circaJtstanccs which
* came to my personal notice convince no
otherwise. Of course ido not know just
what evidence the company has in the
matter Nobody at Homeaiead seems t"
have any idea of that, but let me call youi
attention to a peculiar fact, which I cau
not attribute alone to tbe causes ascribed
at the time—diarrhea aud dysentery
From tbe time when this sickness began
in the mill tbe number of men taken rick
and tbe character of the sickness convinc
ed me that it was no ordinary ca*e ofdiarrh
ea which affected the men. Why, do you
know thct in six weeks I bad to break in
three entirelv different gangs of men in
each of tbe departments 1 had charge of
and that in almost every one of these cases
the men were fine looking, able bodied
fersonst 1 know of one instance where
wo young men of Glade If ills, Butler Go.,
who bad been oil well drillers, went t"
work there. Within two weeks both weri
so sick tbey had to be sent borne. Their
houie doctor examined them on their re
tnrn and pronounced their ailment as poi
soning and both men were cured by thi»
treatment These aud several other inci
dents which came to my notice are enongt,
to make me believe that tbe grounds upon
which the charges are made are good
ones."

Social Problems.
Punxsutawney Spirit
We give space in another column to a
communication Irom a gentleman who
signs himself W. S King. He is evident
ly a man who has given some thought and
study to social questions,but has apparent
ly became considerably muddled from too
promiscuous reading and an altogether too
blind confidence in his gnides. But he is
not to bl&me for that since of all problems
the social problem is the most difficult
and involved. Hardly two eminent writ
ers on this question agree. In tact their
doctrines are diametrically opposed. The
discussions of economic questions have in
few instances ripened into demonstrable
truths. The theories of modern economists
are uterly discordant and contradictory,
and the extreme divergence of the paths
proposed by different writers for reaching
social happiness are simply ludicrous. It
is no wonder then, that the ordinary
student of these questions, who has not
time to penetrate below the surface, should
become confused and bewildered when
eminent scholars, who have made these
matters the study of their lives, so thor
ougbly disagree. In our judgment the man
who has most nearly reduced these speca
lations to a scientific basis is Herbert Spen
cer. He has no doubt promulgated some
errors, but he sticks closer to the natural
and his followers are less likely to go as
tray than the diciples of any other social
philosopher.
The disagreement of the social doctors
and the different remedies prescribed by
them is amusing. One economist tolls us
that the moat of the misery and crime ot
this world is due to private ownership in
land, another to the warfare of competi
Hon, another asoribes it to the profit sys
tern, another to the drink traffic, another
to corporations,another to individual own
' orship of land, ond so on. One school in
sists upon the nationalizatian of land,
another wants to confine all taxation to
land. One fa\ors the enlargement of tbe
powers of government, another insists that
all government is necessarily tyrai-*
ical. One believes that a system of 00-oj -
eration would be just the thing, and anoth
er that the nationalisation of all the instru
ments and means of production would be
pr r King seems to think that the woes
ol the world are due largely to corpora
tions and the acumnlatire disposition ot
man. In this we think he is senrtusly
mistaken. It is impossible for a man to
do good for himself iu this world w "bout
incidentally doing good for others. The
more surplus capital a man has at his dis
posal the more likely he is to do something
that will be beneficial to the community
at large. If the possession of large for
tunes were really a bad thing for a couu-
I try the Robin Hoods and Dick Turpm*
who rob the rich and give to the poor
would be public benefactors, and higbwaj
rohbery would be an honorable occupation.
A community with no captaliats in it is a
mighty poor place for laboring men. It
we had a few millionaires in Punxsutawney.
for instanoe, who wore hustling to increase
(heir wealth in any legitmate way, it
would be much better for us all Say we
had a population of 5.000 souls, every one
of whom had $lO 000 iu money or proper
ty, and each thoug tbe had enough and
*as making no effort to increase his
wealth, what kind of a town would we
have t There would be no public improve
uient, no advancement in any direction
But let twenty or thirty of these go togeth
er, form a corporation, and start for exam
ple, a large rolling mill, employ two or
three thousand men. The town would im
mediately boom. The man who owns a
nundred million dollars does not have it
shut np iu a strong box. As a rule every
cent of it if employed in the channels ot
industry and trade. All he uses of it is
enough to purchase food and clothes.
Another thing: The more money a man has
the less percentage ol profit it tases to satis
fy him. Tbe newsboy who invests a dollar
in daily papers at one cent each and
sells them for two cents expects to make
» hundied per cent a day ou bis invest
ment. The drayman whose whole capital
of #2OO is invested in a horse aud cart
must make a hundred per cent a month in
order to keep. The grocery merchant with
$2,000 is content with a hundred per cent
A year. The wholesale merchant with
♦IOO.OOO invested is satisfied wi h fifteen or
tweuiy per cent a year, aud the owner of a
few millions thinks he is doing well it be
can realise tour or five per cent a year
But we save not the space to dwell on this
phrase of the question. Any one can
readily realiie what a stagnant old fogy
world this would be if every man had just
enough to insnre him a comfortable living,
and was content with that. It is ttje
strife and contention, the hustling quali
ties of man, that brings out the best capa
bilities, and no man can ncuuiulate a lor
tune by bis ouergy and skill without prov
ing a benefactor to mankind in general
The fact that in one ordinary lilo time a
man who does not inherit a penny, can, by
his individual efforts, become master of
a hundred million dollars, is the greatest
••noomium thai can be paid to the United
.States of America Of course it is to be
expected that ou the race track of life the
fleet footed courser, with high withers and
iremnlous flank, its nostrils wide and its
mane aud tail flying like a banner of vie
tory, should be the envy of all the old
pings and scrubs with spavined joints and
cockle-burrs in their tails. And if these
•■quins plugs could talk they would hold a
meeting and pass resolutions recommend
ing the enactment ot a law making it a
criminal offense for any horse to go taster
i ban a mile in seven uiinutes.
What we want is justice—equal oppor
tunities for equal skill, talents and abilities.
A comparison of thin ago ami country with
anv previous age or country ougot to con
vince anybody that we are not going to
.he demnition bow-wows very fast. The
ordinary citiien now enjojs more ot the
comforts and conveniences of life than the
monarch* of two centuries ago, and it has
til been due to the cupidity of man—the
desire to "get on in the world.'
Now as to corporations What would
this country amount to without themf We
.tdniit thai some ot them use their power
in a reprehensible way to crush competi
tion and perhaps to influence courts and
j«rie» and high officials of State. But this
is due to the depravit} of man Plenty of
individuals are guilty of the same acts to
the extent of their ability. Corporations
H re creatures of the btate and cau be curb
ed by it. Were it not for corporations we
would have few,if any, railroads in this
country. No city would have a decent
* ater supply. Few would have gas or
; lectrio lights or street railways. Most of
• ■ur churches are incorporated. If we
could se« just bow tar the devel"pment of
; his countrv has been due to aggregations
•1 capital known as corporations, we cer
tainly would not regard them as an unmix
ed evil.
iUA ft avt beta Car Uw utate&ce ot cm-
potations none of oar Jefferson county far
mers would have sold their coal lands to
this A few country banks, supply
ing the community with coal, woald tie in
operation, which would perhaps employ
less than a hundred men. Puuxsutawney
would be a village of possibly a thousand
inhabitants, with about the same conven
iences as Marchand, Covode, or Boot Jack.
We are as much opposed to the grinding
methods of corporations as anybody, and
admit that some corporations aro meaner
than a yellow dog. bur. wo innst all ae
knowledge that tney have their u*es. And
would you want to" annihilate the entire
human race simply because there are a lot
of bad men in the world?
And Mr. King believos in Socialism
He thinks Socialism is the "Spirit of 76."
According to him, our forefathers rebelled
against the tyranny ot the Old World: the
Peoples' Party against the wealth of the
New. That party would dethrone the
money kings and crown the calamity howl
ers. it would so adjust matters as to
equalixe the capacities of men—to make
them all inarch toward the tomb with rytfc
mie step, permitting none to forge ahead.
It would lain introduce a system of pater
nal'sm that wonld make puppets of men
and curse the soil with eternal sterility
We have never yet heard .1 the socialistic
scheme that in our judgement, would not
prove ruinous to the individ
ual development of man.
interfere with the Divine law of the surviv
al of the fittest, a d tend to dwarf the hu
man intellect. It is the stmgele for ex
istence and the desire to excell, to conquer,
and to overcome difficulties that brings out
the greatest capabilities of men. Human
miseries have beeu vustly increased in the
past by mischievous laws—quack remedies
for social evils—aud there se>-ms to be lit
tle abatement of the quack nuisance to
this day.
We would like, if Mr. King would tell us
in specific terms, without resorting to glit
tering generalities, just how the People's
Party proposes to regenerate the earth aud
bring about the Millou'um If there is any
way of thwarting the Almighty's plan of
gradual development and improvement by
profiting by the lessons ol experience and
"hoarding wisdom with each studious year,'
we would like to know it.
But as we bave not had the pleasure of

The annual meeting ot the Butler Lord's
Day Union was held in the U. P Church,
on Monday evening. Dec. 19th. 1892. at
7:30. The object of this Union is to
preserve the Christian Siobath as a day of
rest and worship.
Its work during the year is in charge of
an Executive Committee composed ><( the
officers of the Union which are a President,
two Vice-Presidents, from each denomina

and a Treasurer. The meeting was called
to order by the President Rev. D. S.

line of the work of the Executive Commit
tee during the past year. Tins Committee
early Dec., 1891. prepared a paper, direct
ing attention to the violation of our Sab
hath laws to tue organiiation and object
of the Butler Lord's Day Uuion and call
ing np>-n ali citizens to give their active
influence to the promotion of a better
observance of the Sabbath This paper
was~published in all th>- local newspapers
and nearly two hundred copies were ad
dressed personally to those in employ
ments in «bioh there is violation of onr
Sunday laws. The Committee also has
endeavored to lead our people to wise and
scriptural views of our rest day and to
secure their co-opt-ration in opposing
everything that intades and imperils our
Sabbath laws With ttiis in view a num
ber of meetings were held on the second
Sabbath of Feb., >n three of the Churches
of Hutler. These meetings were attended
and very interesting aud impressive art

prepared by the committee, and signed by
our citizens have been sent to the Com
missioners of onr World's Fair and our Con
gressmen and Senators urging them to Use
their influence for the closing of the gates
of the World's Pair on the Lord's Day.
The various pastors of this county, also
have been communicated with and urged
to direct the attention ot their congrega
tions to tbo subject of Sabbath Sanctity
with special reference to the clo»ing of
the World's Fair on the Sabbath, the sel
ling of newspapers on the street on Sab
bath, the puuipiug of oil wells, the run
ning of trains and other line* of Sabbath
desecrations have been considered by the
committee. The union has been greatly
encouraged iu its wo'k by the large and
appreciative audience that assembled at
the union service held iu interest of Sab
bath Sanctity in the Presbyterian church on
last Sabbath evening, anil also 'O3 the laet
that our business men aro almost a unit
in desiring the gates of the World's Fair
closed on the Sabbath. The Treasurer re
port showed a balance in the hands of the
freasnrer ol $24 08 The following officers
were elected: President. Kev. D. X. 11 ar
