CHAIRMAN REEDER has decided to call
the next Republican State Convention to
meet in Harrisburg on Angnst 30th. This
was done alter all the members of the t
State Committee had been consulted and i
their answers sent by mail. The date of <
August 30th was the unanimous choice, :
while Harrisburg was the choice of all but
three members, two of whom wanted the
convention held in Williamsport and ono
in Reading.
Important County Office*.
County Commissioners are to be elected
this year in the several counties of the
Commonwealth. They are not as valuable ,
offices to those who hold them as some of ,
the other connty places are, but there are
no county offices of so much real concern
to the people themselves as the Commis
sioners. In the midst of heated contests
for local places to which considerable
emoluments are attached, theso facts are
quite liable to be overlooked.
Nothing could be more unfortunate to
any county than the election of incompe
tent or venal Commissioners, for it is in
their power to do the widest injury and
wrong to the taxpayers. The Commis
sioners practically constitute the executive
administration of the county, lay tho taxes,
have charge of the public works, and the
affairs of the county are altogether within
their control. Their duties are so consider
adle and the just and efficient performance
of them so important to the people, that
it.is not merely good character that is
needed, but good business ability as well,
for it is essentially a business office. In no
county can the people have an intelligent
knowledge of the duties of Commissioners
without being impressed with their im
portance.
Borne of the counties of the State are to
day substantially free from debt as the
result of a wise discrimination in the
choice of Commissioners tor a series of
years, while others are suffering financial
burdens as the result of allowing those
responsible offiees to fali into the hands of
those who were either corrupt or ineffi
cient. The last year has brought to
light several instances of wrongdoing of
Commissioners whose acts affected the
whole people, as in the case of the Schuyl
kill County Court House. Any other
county »mcer may be incompetent or
negligent or dishonest without causing the
people any such losses as may be brought
about by the Commissioners when they
are men not for their places.
As candidates for Commissioner will be
nominated at conventions soon to be held
in many of the counties, in some within a
few weeks, it is none too early for the
people of both parties to give their atten
tion to the matter. The selection of com
petent men is of business importance into
which partisan politics enters very little.
The present Constitution sought to lift the
office oat ofDartisanship as much as possi
ble by providing a majority representation
and this spirit can be carried out by tho
people themselves in a broader degreo to
their own advantage.
Whatever they do with regard to any
other county office, thc-y will make a mi*
take more serious to themselves than any !
one else if they fail to appreciate the ne
cessity of wise action in the nomination ol'
Commissioners. The canvass for these
nominations does not usually attract the
attention that is given a contest for Sheriff
or Treasurer or Frothonotary, but in every
interior county ol the State they are more
important.—Philadelphia J'rtss.
Senator Sherman on the Currency.
The Republican Club of Canton, 0., gave
a banquet at which speeches were made by
Governor McKinley and other prominent
speakers. Senator Sherman was invited to
attend; but he sent a letter explaining his
absence, in which he referred to the curren
cy issue as follows:
In response to your telegram I have to
advise you that it is impossible for me to
leave here during fhe session of the Senate.
The subject you wish me to discuss I re
gard as more important than a mere change
of Administration, or who should hold pub
lic offices. What we want is good money
and plenty of it. By good money, I mean
coin money, either of silver or gold, and
paper money always redeemable in coin
and so secured that there can be no doubt
ot its redemption in coin. Coin money
has not been and will not be nsed in the
United States for current payments except
for change and in small suns.
Paper money is more convenient to car
ry, and it will always be preferred by our
people for all payments, whether for labor
or food or clothing or for payment of debts
Bet this paper money must have behind
it the highest sanctions of credit that be
yond any danger or fear it will be main -
tained at par with coin. My own observa
tion and reflection lead me to the belief
that all snch paper money must, in addi
tion to eTery other safeguard possible, be
backed by the wealth and property of the
whole people of the Cnited States.
Experience has shown that the notes of
the National banks secured by an equal or
greater amount ot United States bonds,
form the safest currency that has yet been
devised. This is practically the system
adopted in the wealthiest and most advanc
ed governments of Europe and by our own
country. Xotes of the United States, care
fully limited in amount, and backed by
tbe'credit of our whole people, supported
with ample reserves in coin, and with clear
authority in case of necessity to redeem
them in coin by the sale of bonds, have
been proved by our experience since the
Ist day of January, 1879, to be a wise and
safe currency, the profits of which inure
entirely to the benefit of the whole people.
The only fear is that these notes will not
be safely restricted by law, but that their
credit may be impaired and destroyed by
the prevalence for a time of the wild and
visionary notions of enthusiasts without
experience and ability.
The chief difficulty that now exists is
that by the course of events, and especially
the great increase in the production of sil
ver as compared with gold, the market
value of silver has fallen far below its rela
tive value to gold. The ratio between the
two metals of 16 to 1, lixed by the law of
1837, was then the true ratio of market
va!ue, but it ia not now. The intrinsic
market value of the silver dollar is now
only 65 cents. "We buy silver in the open
market at 84 cents an ounce,when the coin
age value of an ounce of silver at the legal
ratio is 129. Under existing law silver is
purchased at its market value and coined
at the old ratio, so that the silver dollar in
the markets ot the world is worth but 65
cents in gold.
Now, it is proposed that the government
of the United States should coin all the
silve* that may be presented for the bene
fit of the owner of the bullion, giving him
a dollar, either in gold or a note of the
United States. The inevitable effect of
this policy would be to adopt silver as the
only standard, thus reducing the purchas
ing power of the dollar one-third for the
benefit of the producers of silver aud at
the expense of the people ot the United
States.
The pensions of our soldiers, the valne
of the saving deposits of our people and
all existing contracts would be reduced
one-third in value. Gold would be demon
etized, exported and hoarded, and the
baais of our entire financial system and of
all values Would be measured by money
of less purchasing power than now, and on
a footing with the financial systems of
China and Japan, and all the Sonth Ameri
can states,and we would be seperated from
the standards of universal use in the great
commercial countries of the world.
This would be a dangerous and destruc
tive revolution in our whole currency sys
tem, affecting the purchasing power of all
forms of money and changing all diversi
fied contracts now existing. I hope this
delusion has passed away and that the
good sense of our people will resent and
reject it and stand by the financial policy
that has made our country the greatest and
richest in the world.
The real remedy of the silver problem is
to put into onr silver dollar -enough silver
at market value to be equal to a gold dol
lar, and to maintain all forms of money,
whether coiu or notes, of equal or inter
changeable value.
TERRIBLE ternadoes prevailed through
the West, Tuesday and Wednesday nights.
Over forty lives were lost, and a great deal
of property destroyed. The storm was
varied by earthquakes and water spouts.
Two -weeks from next Monday the great
Columbian Exposition will be opened and
the plans and work of three yearn will he
brought to a conclusion.
Harrisburg Notes
On Thursday of last week, the Legmla
ture was interested jn Traction and Liquor
bills. In the Senate the bill abolishing
the Merchantile Appraiser system passed
finally.
Gov. Pattison signed the Miller and
Boyer bills regulating beneficial and fra
ternal Focieties. The Boyer bill relates
to short-term orders. To Mr. E. D. Miller
of Somerset, belongs the credit of seperat
ing the fraternal beneficial orders, such as
the Oddfellows, United Workmen, Royal
Arcanum, etc., from the short tenners.
Mr. Miller is himself a member of a num
ber of these orders and his friendly officers
must be appreciated by all of them.
The bill appropriating SOO,OOO for the
use of the World's fair commission passed
the house finally by a vote of 125 to 'A.
This is not quite the necessary two-thirds
to overcome a vote, but enough votes may
be drummed out of the absentees.
On Tuesday the Agnew Local-option bill
was defeated in the House by a vote of
68 to 102. It was first boarded down with
amendments and then killed, though Cess
na and Lytle made a strong fight for it.
Douthett made an earnest plea for the bill,
and both he and Mates voted for it.
The Congressional appointment bill in
troduced that day makes a district of But
ler, Clarion, Armstrong and Indiana coun
ties.
TUB late elections in Kansas were a
stinging rebuke for the Populists and their
proceedings in the recent session of the
Legislature. The returns prove that the
people preceive very plainly the harm and
disgrace brought upon tho State by the
revolutionary acts at Topeka and that they
took the earliest opportunity for expressing
their dissent. The overturn is too general
too admit of any other conclusion. If a
city here and there had changed its poli
tics it might be ascribed to local causes.
But throughout the whole State the most
sweeping Repnblican victories are record
ed and they can only indicato a marked
I and general chango in public sentiment.
Washington Notes.
On Thursday of last week, President
Cleveland renominated Hannis Taylor, a
lawyer of Mobile, Alabama, to be Minis
ter to Spain; and Judge William Soohrsn,
of Minneapolis, Miun., to be Commission
er of Pensions. He also sent in for
thirteen Presidential postoffices; and tho
4th Assistant P. M. General appointed 131
that day.
Gov. Pattison and Sec'y. Harrity had a
long talk that afternoon, with tho Presi
dent, presumably regarding the Federal
appointments for this State; as there were
two fights on hands—that for the Customs
Commissionership at Philadelphia, and the
District Attorneyship at Pittsburg.
On Wednesday the President appointed
John M. Siegfried postmaster at Warren,
snd Goo. I>. Gibson at New Castle.
Political Notes.
The Republican County Committee of
Mercer County, at it's meeting ut Mercer
lately, endorsed the candidacy of B. J.
Haywood for State Treasurer.
The Brooks L. jise Law.
The Pittsburg Leader, of a late date,
condenses the constructions of the Brooks
liquor law by some ot the Judges of West
ern Pennsylvania, as follows:
In Crawford county where Judge John
J. Henderson is sole presiding judge oi the
court, his power is supreme. He can
grant or refuse at hi.- own plea-nre.
Remonstrance appear to have no effect
and no -pecial restrictions are plac<-.l upon
the licensed houses.
In Armstrong county almost the
conditions prevail. The only -t:pn'<ition
is that all licensed houses must be . .used
at 10 o'clock at night
In Jefferson county tho only question
that appears to figure in fhe granting of
a license is to show to the court the neces
sity for the place. Judge White, who
presides, looks upon wholesale licenses as
unnecessary.
The McKean county court restricts all
licensed houses, both wholesale and retail,
to closing their places at 10:30 at night
and that retailers should do a strictly bar
trade. Wholesale can not sell less than a
quart of whiskey or a dozen bottles of
bee^i
In Indiana county the popular will is
opposed to the liquor traffic and Judge
White, who presides, although not a pro
hibitionist, respects the wishes of the
people. During his eight years on the
bench he has never granted a license to
sell or manufacture liquor in the county.
In Lancaster county the reverse ap
pears to be the case. At the recent sit
ting of the court all the old stands were
relicensed and every new applicant was
refused. The only restriction placed upon
the applicants was requiring fhe liquor to
be drunk on retail premises and prohibit
ing dances to be held in hotels. The
! ••growler" is rushed freely there without
comment from the court.
In Huntingdon county the necessity for
the place, good character and responsi
bility are the sole rtqoisits for a license.
Judge Fur.-t. wli;. presides, is personally
opposed to the liquor traffic :ir.d feels the
disposal of licenv should lie tak.-r. out of
the court. Fre<- lunch, s aud screens are
proscribed, and all jr- mu-t be closed at
10 p. in. ...
In Dauphin county the . nly requisite is
the bare provisions required by law—re
lating to accommodations, which requires
four rooms and eight beds. License.- are
transferred whenever applied for. In
Harrisburg some of the hotels keep open
bars ail hight, and free lunch prevails.
In Washington county, under a special
law passed in 1867, the granting oflicenses
is discretionary with the judge, independ
ent to tho view -of the community. From
the passage of the law until 1891. no li
censes were granted in the county. Last
year five licenses were granted. Judge
Mcllvaine, the presiding judge, holds the
same views regarding the free lunch ques
tion as our own judges. He is also op
posed to the present system of granting
licenses by court judges.
• In Blair county, where Judge Landis, a
newly appointed judge, presided, the
temperance people held sway, and suc
ceeded in having less than half the ap-;
plications granted this year. There were
no special restrictions placed upon appli
cants.
In Westmoreland county the only re
strictoin is the question of closing. All
j licensed houses must close at 9:30 p. m.
and at noon on holidays.
The Beaver county court does not look
upon wholesale licenses as so great a
necessity as retail, and restricts the
granting of such places to tho three prin
cipal towns of the county. Uncontested
applications for license are granted with
out question. The only requisite in new
applicants is to prove the necessity and
character of tho applicant. >*o special
restrictions are placed upon the traffic,and
the court appears to encourage the con
ducting of good hotels.
At the recent court in Lawrence county,
over which Judge Hazen presided, the ap
plicants were subjected to a rigid ordeal
The special features insisted upon were
the accommodations for travelers in
preference to boarders, selling in buckets
and to club rooms.
A Rising Physician.
Tho Mars Correspondent of the raUey
News, writes as follows:
Dr. J. C. Barr of this place, at a medical
meeting held in Butler a short time ago,
delivered a very fine address. It was log
ical, and elegant in diction. The Doctor is
a sound reasoner, and a fluent speaker;
hence he presented some very nice and
practical points that wonld bo of special
benefit to the medical fraternity. All who
heard the address were pleased as he
spoke to edification. The doctor in his ef
fort scattered rays of light upon some of
the finer points on surgery, and tho prac
tico of medicine, for ho is certainly skilled
in the art, aud has a bright future before
him. The Doctor is a young man but well
up in bis profession, wise in dejiberation,
and prndent in execution. In his address
he made mention of the influence of the
ministry in the sick chamber as being a
help to the physician. This is certainly a
point well taken. His address was a mas
ter piece in thought and construction,
sparkling with gems of rhctorio, and im
parting lessons ot wholesome truths. With
his present experience, and the years that
are before him he will no doubt achieve
grand things in his profession. Honor to
whom honor is due.
State Political Gossip.
A Philadelphia correspondent says: Al
though on the surface here politics
W> be very quiet, the subject has in fact for
some time past been carefully considered
and keenly discu»sed. The closest obser
vers realize that either or both the State
elections to be held this year and next may
be decided by the result in Philadelphia
acu that the result is by no means assured.
The issuing of the call for the Republican
State Convention to meet at Harrisburg,
August 30, has considerably increased the
interest in the probable action.
It is the general impression here that |an
understanding has been arrived at that the
Republican nomination for Supreme Judge
this year shall go to Philadelphia, while
Western Pennsylvania shall have the State
Treasurer. For the former position Judge
I). Newlin Fell is the only Philadelphian
named, his announced competitors being
judge John Stewart, ofChambersburg, and
Judge Robert W. Archbald. of Scranton.
If the alleged Philadelphia and Western
Pennsylvania arrangement goes through
the last two named gentlemen will, of
course, not stand much chance, and the
same may be said of ex-Senator A. I). Har
lan of Chester county, who for some time
past has been booming himself for the
State Treasurership. The country candi
dates for Judgeship are banking on the
hope that the alleged arrangement referred
to may cot exist, or may fail of success.
Mr. Harlan's friends, too, may seek to re
verse the supposed selections by inducing
Judge John J. Henderson or some other
western man to combine with him. Ihe
Philadelphia leaders are apprehensive that
the Country Legislative Combine may have
its duplicate in the coming convention,
and therefore they are very solicitous to
avoid taking any action which might be an
excuse for inducing such a result.
Speaker Thompson's name has, until re
cently, been the only one mentioned from
' Western Pennsylvania for the Treasurer
ship. The announcement of the candidacy
of 15. J. Haywood, of Mercer county, with
in the past few days has, however, beeu
received as au indication that some assur
ances hare beeu given that Mr. Thompson
will not seek the position. Resides, Mr.
Thompson is from Warren county and it is
said that Frank Willing Leech has started
in to work for the nomination of Charles
W. Stone, also of Warren, for the Govern
orship, with the understanding that Leech
is to bo Secretary of the Commonwealth in
case of success. The story further goes
that Leech thinks he has so built himself
up among the politicians of tho State that
he can stand on his own strength and in
dulge in the pastime of making a Governor.
This story is amusing. Though it mat
ters little, Leech is known to be for State
Chairman Frank lteeder, who has tho gu |
bernatorial bee singing very strongly in
his bonnet.

The Pennsylvania Schools.
The annual report of State Superinten
dent Waller for 1*92 ha? just been pub
lished. It is a volume ol over 400 pages.
From it we learn that the number of pupils
in the public schools of the State during
the past year was 077,528, which is an in
crease of 8,022 over the number attending
during the preceding year. The number
of schools was 23,436. an increase of 522.
The expenditures required to keep the
schools open during the year amount to
$14,320,140.40, which is an increase of
$810,43148 over 1891. The estimated value
of the school property has reached the
enormous sum of $40,242, t»64, which is an
increase of nearly $5,000,000. The above
t&kes no account of the city of Philadel
phia, where 118.268 pupils were taught
last vear. and 428 schools were maintained
at a cost of $3,222,886.56.
There are at the present time 2.308
school districts in the State and
schools. The number of teachers is 25,339.
The female teachers still outnumber the
males in the ratio of of more than two _to
one, there being 8,162 of the latter to 17,-
177 of the former. When it comes to tha
matter of salaries, however, the males lead,
their average pay being $42.15 per month,
while the females receive only s3l 41.
In addition to the $2,000,000 appropria
ted by the State in 1892. addi
tional was was given to the State Normal
Schools. The State appropriation having
been raised from $2,00(),000 to $5,000,000,
the next report will show largely increased
expenditures, of course.

Mr. John Saxton
Of Scottdale. Pa.
M I dc think Hood's Sarsaparilla Is ' worth 1U
weight In gold." For four years I suffered misery
with terrible pains In my back and trouble with
my kidneys. The doctors thought I had llrlght's
disease. Many a time I had to give up work,
and continually crew worse, and when I sat or
stooped down I had to be helped up. At last
had to give up ami go to bed and remain six long
weeks. It was then I began to take Hood's
Harsaparllla, and I soon found that It was help
ing me although I bad been told nothing would
help me and thought
I Would Have to Die.
But I continued to Improve till I am now iu por
ted health and have as good a back as any man
In town. Today I can do a good day's work,
and truly feel that Hood's HSrsaparilla was a
God-send to me. 1 aui as sound as the best dol-
Hood's
Sarsaparilla

lar that was ever made, and I want this state
ment put Into prlut so that everybody can se»
what good It did me. Every word of the above
can be proved by a sooro of people here who
know how I suffered anil how I have been
cured. I took but six bottles. I think no one
can praise Hood's Sarsaparilla as much as It
will praise Itself." JOHN HAXTON, Scottdale,

George lleiber. Sr.. in his 74th year.
Death is sad at any time and in any way,
but when, as in the case of Mr. Reiber, it
comes suddenly, without any warning to
the family, it is particularly sad. Mr.
Reiber arose that morning in his
usual health, and was doing something
about the house, when about 8 o'clock of
Monday morning he went to the bath room
and stooped down for a basket of clothes,
he fell back dead.

and landed in New York, where he learned
the carriage smith trade, and was married
in 1840. and in 1841 he came to Butler Co.,
when there was but one buggy in the county
and he built the first carriage that was in
this county. He worked at the trade un

his brother Jacob and embarked in the
mercantile business. He was a man of
the strictest integrity and was respected
by all who krew him.
He was a member of the German Luth
eran church, and also a member of Conno
quenessing Lodge I. O. O. F., of which
order he was the oldest member in the

He leaves to survive him his estimable
wife, end three children, Alf M.. and
George engaged in the dry goods business
here and one daughter, Mrs. McOmber.
His remains were followed to their last
resting place by a large coneourso of people
Wednesday morning.
MEMORIUM.
In memorium of Miss Permillia Young,
who died on Sabbath evening, April 2d,
1893, in the 39th year of her age. the
youngest daughter of Simon P. and Eliza
Young,this making five children they have
been called to give back to God, and five
still survive. God has mysteriously
divided them into two bands, five in the
Promised Land and five not yet passed
over. Sister Permillia was of a retiring
and modest disposition, very much attach
ed to her friends and loved by all who
knew her. In earlj- life she made a public
profession of her faith in Christ and re
mained true to her vows and engagements
to the last, and told her friends that she
was ready for the Master's call to depart
and be with Christ which is far better.
Therefore we sorrow not as those who have
no hope. But we are assured as Jesus
died and rose again, even those who
sleep in Jesus will God bring with Him.
But 0 how we miss thee, Dear Permillia,
we do not hear thy loving voice and do
not see thy gentlo form, but Jesus has
taken thee to Himself where there is no
cloud and is no storm.
Her beloved spake aud said unto her,
rise up my love, my fair one, and come
away for lo! the winter is past, the rain
is over and gone, the flowers appear on
the earth, the time of the singing of birds
is come,and the voice of the dove is heard
in our land. Arise my love, my fair one,
and come away.
God grant that we may all hear thy
voice in these solemn providences saving
be ye also ready for tho Master's call that
wo may. after we have finished the work
thou hast given us to do, pass over into the
Heavenly Home where we will be one un
broken band, and sing the song of the re
deemed unto Him that loved us and wash
ed us from our sins with His own blood.
Bo His the glory and the dominion and
the power lor ever and ever. Amen.
R. M. F.
IN MEMORI AM.
Whereas. It has pleased the Supremo
Ruler of the universe to call from one
midst our brother Sir Knight Hugh
Strawick. and
Whereas, His years ol toil here being
ended, his chair in our Tent being now va
cant and will know him no more forever,
therefore be it
Resolved, That in the suddenness of his
departure is furnished another Divine warn
ing to be ready "for in such an hour as ye
think not the Son of man cotneth," and
Resolved, That our sincere and heart
felt sympathy-be extended to the bereaved
family and friends in their sad bereave
ment; fondly trusting that the grace of
Him who is a father to the fatherless, and
a friend to the widow shall sustain them in
their affliction.
Resolved, That out of respect to the
memory of our departed brother, our Chart
er be draped in mourning for thirty days
and further.
Resolved, That a copy of these resolu
tions be presented to tho family, spread

The Big Fair.
A Wellsboro man who i« in Chicago
write* home advising people not to be in a
hurry about going to see the exposition,
for though it will open on May 1-t, it will
be fully a month after that before every
thing will be finished.
The price of admission to the Fair will
be fifty cents, but there will tie a number
of side shows ill Midway I'liisance which
are private enterprises, and to which an
admission fee will be charged if you want
to see them.
Free drinking fountains, almost without
number, are stationed throughout the ex
position and supplied with filter
ed or sterilized (boiled) water. So visitors
can, if they choose, drink all "he water in
Lake Michigan, from which the entire city
supply is obtained. Hygeia water will be
on *aie at one cent a glass, and people can
drink that if they prefer. The free water,
however, is better than is usually to be had
in large cities.
Free toilet rooms and closets to the num
ber of nearly filteen hundred will be pro
vided, some in the buildings and others
aliout the grounds. In addition to these
there will be also a large number of toilet
rooms and lavatories, to which visitors will
be admitted upon payment of a small fee.
The authorities of the fair guarantee, how
ever, that the free toilet rooms will be first
class and properly kept.
It is difficult to" understand how imposi
tion or extortion can prevail within the
Fair grounds. Take for example, the cost
of eating at the restaurants. Although
the eating house and lunch counter
privileges have been sold to contractors,
the scale of charges for eatables must be
approved by the Exposition authorities.
It is therefore by no means probable that
the cost of eating within tho grounds will
be greater than in any good restaurant out
side. Large numbers of tables will be pro
vided by the Bureau of Public Comfort for
the use of such as bring their lunch with
them. There will also be abundant pro
vision for seating people without charge.
These privileges, together with numer
ous free waiting rooms, cheap lunch count
ers. checking-rooms, etc., will enable peo
ple in comfortable circumstances to visit
the Fair without distressing expense, and
without other annoyances than are neces
sarily incident to large crowds. To quote
the Chicago Tribune of yesterday: "Fifty
cents—no more, no less—will entitle the
visitor to see every exhibit in Jackson
Park, and if he brings luncheon with him,
he may get through without any addition
al expense."
