By order of Committee.
J. M. LIBOHNBR, Chairman.
GALUBHA A. GROW is one of the four
speakers of the House of Representatives
who are still alive looking back over the
one hundred years of our national exis
tence. Mr. Grow is now mining coal out
on the Ohio river and is rich. Robert C.
Winthrop, who was Speaker of the House
fifty yean, ago, is living in retirement
near Boston, and Nathaniel P. Banks,
who occupied the chair during the turbu
lent times which led up to the war, is still
living in comparative poverty near Boston
His home is almost under tho shadow of
the walls ot the building where he was a
bobbin boy.
THE first heavy robbery, outside of the
restaurants, reported from the World's
Fair, occurred a lew days ago, when an
old German, who had sold his property in
California and was on his way to the
Fatherland, stopping on his way to see the
great fair, was robbed of S4IOO which he
carried in an inside overcoat pocket.
While one cannot but commiserate with a
man thus suddenly robbed of all his wealth
in his old age, one can hardly help wonder
ing at the same time why any one, in
these days of checks, drafts, letters of
credit, and other means of safely transmit
ting money from one end of the world to
the other, wonld be willing to risk such
sums as this to the liability of theft from
the person or of losing it in a multitude of
other ways.
George Miller Resigns.
Colector of Internal Revenue George
Miller of this district has forwarded his
resignation to President Cleveland.
The resignation, Mr. Miller said, was
worded "to take effect upon the appoint
ment and qualification of my successor."
"That," said Mr. Miller, "will give me
plenty of time to close up my books and
nave them ready for the Democratic ap
pointee when he is readv to take charge of
them. Until then I will continuo to do
business at the old stand, as usual."
Mr. Miller's failing to name a specific
date for his resignation to go into force will
give the President all tho time he wants to
choose a Democrat for the office. Mr.
Miller said he was in no hurry to leave be
fore the time when he expects to be called
upon to assume the office of Clerk of
Courts "Any part or all of that interim,"
said Mr. Miller with a smile, "I am willing
to look after the internal revenve interests
in this district.
CIO to the Primaries on Saturday.
The Crisis in Germany.
The dissolution of the Reichstag upon
the rejection of the army bill has precipi
tated Germany into the throes of a fierce
election campaign. The Emperor has, in
the truest sense of the term, appealed to
the people against the majority of their
chosen representatives. In making this
appeal the government addresses itself to
the national feeling. Its argument is sim
ple. TTie German Empire is situated in
thfe centre of the European continent, be
tween two great powers, France and Rus
sia, which may be assumed to be unfriend
ly and watching for a favorable chance for
a concerted attack. In case of such an at
tack Germany would have to carry on "a
war with two fronts''—one to the west
against France, and the other to the east
against Russia. The armies of each of
these powers are superior in numbers to
to that ol Germany. The German army
may excel either of them in the quality of
the men, in instruction, drill, and disci
pline. But a combination of the hostile
forces would make their military strength,
if not irresistible, at least highly dangerous.
Germany has indeed fortified herself by
tho compact with Austria and Italy, the
famous Triple Alliance, which, in case of
an attaak from hostile powers, would co
operate with her. But Italy is in a most
deplorable condition, and Austria may at
the critical moment find herself embarrass
ed by the distracting animosities of the
different nationalities within her own bor
ders, the powerful Slavic element sympa
thizing with Russia and Franco. Even if
the allies could be counted upon for faith
ful and energetic co-operation in the dread
ed emergency, their military forces joined
to those of Germany would not bring up
the total to the combined strength of
Russia and France. The peace of Europe
is maintained mainly by the certainty that
Russia and France, if they attacked Ger
many , would find their match, or more
than their match. As soon as they have
reason to think that Germany with her
allies will not be able to resist them, the
temtation for an onslaught will be danger
ously seductive, and the existence of the
German Empire will be in great peril. In
asmuch as France and Rußaia have been
constantly augumenting their armaments,
this temtation exists now. It is therelore
imperatively necessarv that the German
Empire, which will have to bear the brunt
of the conflict, should correspondingly in
crease its forces as a guarantee of peace.
This is the position of the government.
Assuming the premises as to the relative
strength of the armies to be correct, this
argument is not without weight. We hear
it frequently said that if Germany would
only restore Alsace and Lorraine to France
the French would at once cease to be hos
tile to Germany, and the situation would
be releived of the strain. This is a mis
take. If Alsace and Lorraine were thus
restored, the French would take it at 1
demonstration not of conciliatory feeling,
but of conscious weakness on the part of
the Germans, and the chances are ten to
one that they would then revive their old
demand for the frontier of the Rhine as
the "natural frontier of France," avail
themselves of the first favorable opportun
ity to get it and thus to wipe out the dis
grace of their defeat of the war of 1870 and
1871. But even if this were not so, the
decisive fact would still remain that it was
not alone the acquisition of the two prov
inces by Germany, but mainly the forma
tion of the German Empire as the leading
power of Europe, that has excited the bit
ter jealousy and resentment of France and
Russia also. The dissolution of the Ger
man Empire, the breaking up of Germany
into a number of comparitively powerless
states, is the real object of their desire, and
until this object is accomplished their hos
tile feeling will not be essentially changed.
In fact, the acquisition of Alsace and Lor
raine, with the two great fortresses of Met*
and Strasburg, has so strengthened the de
fensive position of Germany on its western
frontier as greatly discourage a French at
tack, and it is therefore rather a guaranty
of peace than an incitement to war. What
ever there may be of dissafection to Ger
many in Alsace and Lorraine is, in this
respect, of little consequence, for the two
fortresses would be of no less importance
even if they were considered as two very
strong positions held in the enemy's coun
try. The restoration of the two provinces
to France is, therefore, from the German
point of view, entirely out of the ques
ti°n - „ T ,
Tims the position of the German Empire
between two hostile neighbors is such as
to render a state of constant preparation
necessary, nnless the Germans be willing
to give up their existence as a united na
tion, which, of course, they are not, or uu
less France and Russia be willing to give
up their unfriendly attitude, and demon
strate this willingness by reducing their
armaments, whioh they do not. This is so
generally recognized by all classes ol the
German people except the Socialists,
even by many of these, that the appeal of
the government would be of almost certain
effect were not the questioß whether the
present military organization of Germany
ls really sufficient or insufficient for all
probable emergencies calling forth serious
differences of opinion. The burdens im
posed upon the people by the constant
augumentation of the military and naval
establishments are very heavy, and the
mad race bewteen nations for military su
periority opens a prospect of an almost in
definite increase of the load. The opposition
to the government takes the ground that
such an increase is justificable only when
it is neoessary; that the German army, if a
shorter term of service be introduced to
permit the drilling ol a larger number ol
men in a given period, is large enough to
meet all requirements; and that the spirit
of militarism in the government is already
strong enough to cause serious apprehen
sions, and ought not to be permitted to be
come still more powerlul. Suoh argu
ments are calculated to have great effect
with a people groaning under a heavy tax
ation, and not a little disturbed in their
confidence as to the futur6 by the frequent
surprises to whioh the young Emperor is
in the habit of treating them.
The opposition consists mainly of the
Socialists, a majority of the advanced Lib
erals, and a part of the Centre or Catholic
party. Although these political elements
go far asunder as to most other questions
of public interest, yet their concurrent ef
forts will in all probability render it impos
sible to the government to get a majority
in favor of the army bill in the next Reich
stag. What then will happen nobody can
foretell. The young Emperor has pnblwly
declared that he will have the increase of
the military establishment he demauds,
whether the next Reichstag assents to it
or not. This declaration, amounting al
most to a threat, is likely t.i add to tho do
termination and also to the strength of the
opposition, and thus to have an effect con
trary to that which it was intended to pro
duce. That the Emperor is at present re
solved, as he expressed himself, to "stake
all in his power to obtain the enactment of
the measure," hardly admits of doubt.
How far he will go when the stake is prac
ticalty before him, and when he has to face
popular discontent in a more portentots
form than that in which he has so far seen
it, is more questionable. In any event, it
may be said that Germany is rapidly drift
ing into the most dangerous crisis of her
internal affairs since the formation of tho
empire.

The Presbyterian General Asse rably.
The soecter of the Brians case was ever
present,"all through the busine-* transact
ed by the Presbyterian Assembly at the
opening session at Washington Monday.
By far the most prominent epiosde of the
day's proceedings, was the report of the
Committee on Sabbath Observance, in
which report the World's Fair Commiss
ioner.- were severely handled for their pro
ject of keeping the Fair open. Great en
thn-ia-ui prevailed wh n.dy acclamßtit * the
rnetiou was carried to withdraw tne Pres
byteriau exhibits if the Fair opened np on
the seventh day.
The first. outbreak Uiat ait a cornei of
the liriggs case occurred that uiyming
when a rebuke was delivered by Modera
tor Craig for a slight disorder that occur
red shortly after the session began. "Such
outbreaks are unneccessary at this stage"
remarked the moderator in his reproof to
the Assembly. The scene referred to, de
scribed by the moderator as an outbreak
was a somewhat loud demand to be heard
on what was seemingly only a technical
question.
The moderator's remarks might be inter
peted as meaning that there would, to use
nis own expression, be a stage before long,
in which outbreaks would be expected.
It is a peculiar fact that most of the
younger men are underthe Briggs standard,
notable among them Dr. Merle Smith, who
created a sensation by his delense of Dr.
Briggs in his sermon Sunday morning at
the First Presbyterian Church, which was
tersely replied to by the pastor, Dr. Byron
C. Sunderland. In an interview Dr.
Sunderland said he had nothing to say
as to the remarks he made at the close of
Dr. Smith's sermon except that
he thought he did his duty in calling his
congregation's attention to some remarks
of Dr. Smith's with reference to the Briggs
case. Dr. Sunderland may in a few days
issue a statement which will clearly define
his position and tend to correct any mis
construction of his motive in answering
Dr. Smith at the close of the sermon.
A rumor is current that Mis. Cleveland
is displeased with Dr. Sunderland's action
Sunuay, ami contemplates resigning from
bis church. No confirmation denial of
the rumor is obtainable, au>l if siic.'i is tue
truth it would look as though tne Presi
dent's wife sided vritn tier oiii Xew York
pastor. Dr. Smith, in his up-hill fight for
Dr. Briggs.
At no time since the Prosbyterian Gen
eral Assembly began its sessions has there
been so large an attendence at there was
Tuesday afternoon. It was generally
known that the report of the Judicial Com
mittee in the Briggs case was the special
order, and this was sufficient to pack the
house almost to suffocation. Dr. Briggs
made his first apperrance on the floor.
Mr. McDougal, of Cincinnatti, moved
that the case before the Assembly take
precedence of all other business and this
was carried. The venerable Dr. Smith,
of Baltimore, suggested that all expres
sions of approval or disapproval be pro
hibited. Moderator Craig emphasized
this suggestion and called for absolute
quiet, so that the men upon whom such
great and tremendons duty involved
might be able to hear calmly and dis
passionately all that might be said.
Dr. Baker, chairman ol the committee,
said he was disappointed that more than
one report had been presented, but took
comfort in the thought that fidelity to
conscience was better than unamity. It
was fidelity to conscience that had com
pelled the mej irity to report, and also, he
said, the majority report.
The majority report recites the case of
the church against Dr. Briggs as being in
the nature of an appeal. The Judicial
Gommittee have examined the papers and
find the appeal in order and recommend
that it be entertained and issued and that
the case proceed to trial.
Dr. Baker also presented a supplemen
tal report giving the reasons which in
fluenced the committee in reaching its
conclusion, among which is mentioned
that it is desirable that the grave issues in
the case should be decided as far as
practicable by representatives of the en
tire church.
The minority report was read by the
Rev. S. J. Nicolls, D. D., of St Louis. He
said he knew that in makihg the minority
report he and his associates were under
suspicion already as appearing to oppose
the appeal. This was not their attitude;
they were not antagonizing the claim of
power in the Assembly to entertain the
appeal. The minority report recommends
that t£ie majority report bo amended by
substituting, "We find the appeal in or
der and recommend that the parties bo
heard in accordance with the provisions of
the Book of Discipline."
At this point Prof. Briggs rose as if to
address the Assembly. Immediately a
buzz of comment swept over the house
while he and the moderator engaged in an
animated uuliuquy upvu Uiu nglit lu l»o
heard at that time. Prol. Briggs yielded
to Dr. Craig and resumed his seat. This
was the prelude of an incident that creat
ed some comment on the floor. The mod
erator said:
"I would suggest in the interest of
brotherly kindness and peace—"
"Say justice," exclaimed a voice from
the gallery, which was said to be that of
Prof. Henry Preserved Smith, of Cincin
natti, who is under condemnation of the
Cincinnatti Presbytery lor preaching sim
ilar to that ol Prof. Briggs.
"You wait," retorted Moderator Craig,
sternly. "Don't you put words into my
mouth. I speak for brotherly kindness
and peace, which are higher than justice,
for out of them comes justice." The mod
erator then said that Prof. Briggs had ask
ed him the privileage of speaking, but
that he had insisted that the professor had
no right to speak at that time. Dr. Craig
said, however, that there would be a time
when his brother, Prof. Briggs, should
speak.
The moderator then announced that, n
accordance with the Book of Government,
the Assembly would be turned into a judi
cial court of the Lord Jesus Christ, and,
lollowing the rules of procedure, called for
a reading of the judgement notice of ap
peal, the appeal and the specifications of
the error* alleged. This was done by
Stated Clerk Roberts, the reading occupy
ing more than an hour and a half, exhaust
ing all the remainder ol the afternoon ses
sion. The great audience sat more quiet
ly throughout the drearv repetation of le
gal forms than they prooably would have
done under the most eloquent sermon. The
court then adjourned until 2:30 Wednes
day afternoon and the General Assembly
until 9:3<> 4.. M.
After the adjournment the moderator
called Prof Briggs and the Prosecuting
Committee in conference and asked them
what length of time they desired to occupy
on the question. Prof. Briggs asked for
five .hours; the Prosecuting Committee
said they were in the hands of the Assem
bly, but desired Prof. Briggs to have all
the time he desired- Dr. Craig did not
feel warranted in acceding to Prof. Briggs'
request.
The capacity of the church was over
taxed "Wednesday afternoon, when the
Presbyterion General Assembly met as a
court to he4r the Briggs heresy trial.
The Rev. George p. Baker, chairman,
reported that the Judicial Committee
unanimously recommended that the Prose
cuting Committee bo allowed one boi;r to
open its case; that five hours be given to
Prol. Briggs, and that the committee be
£iven two hours in which to close, to be
extended, if desired, to four hours.
Prof. Briggs was also granted permission
by the Presbytery to submit printed argu
ments in his case.

Approved—The 20th day of June, A. D.,
1881. ,_
Dr. A. W. Crawford.
The Oil City Derrick of May 16. inst,
contains a biographical sketch of some of
the early pioneers in the oil industry of
Western Pennsylvania. Among them we
find an account of the part taken by Dr.
Alexander Crawford, so well and favorably
known to the people of our county. The
Doctor represented Butler County 'n the
Legislature in the years of 185G, 1857 and
1858, and although at presbnt residing in
Emlenton, Venango county, yet was al
wavs recognized as one of our leading,
most respected and most enterprising citi
zens. He was appointed by Pre ideut
Lincoln to represent our country as its
consul at Antwerp, Belgium. This was
in 1861. shortly after the discovery of oil.
His efforts at Antwerp greatly aided in
making that city one of the principal mar
kets of the old world for the export of our
oil. The balance is narrated by the Der
rick as follows: ...
"At tho time Dr. Crawford arrived in
Europe, such a thing as a universal cheap
illuminant was unknown. Gas was used
in the principal cities, but the people of
Antwerp depended mainly upon rapo seed
oil—and this for all general purposes was
the light of the countrr. It was a very ex
pensive article and only the very wealthy
could afford to use it. The poorer people
all went to bed in the dark. It is difficult
at this period of time to realize the state
of affairs with respect to lighting facilities
that prevailed a little over 30 years ago.
In riding from Brussels to Antwerp the
entire country was wrapped in total dark-
U«BS tU'lm UiftUU«fcU.. *io\. t» I'gl.t V.-U.l to bo
seen anywhere after leaving the towns, and
it was like passing through some uninhab
ited section of the west after dark. But
instead of no people, all about you was the
thickest populated portion of the earth s
surface.
A few gallons of American refined had
appeared in Antwerp previous to Dr. Craw
ford's arrival, but it was regarded more as
an object of curiosity than presenting
any real solution to the illuminating
problem. One of the leading firms, how
ever, soon began to make inquiries about
this new American product and Dr. Craw
ford was found to bo the man who could
give them just tho information they do
sired. He was from the very part of the
countrv whero tho new illuminant was
produced.
Tho upshot of the whole matter was
that Dr. Crawford put them in communi
cation with a firm of American shippers,
which led to an order of 40 barrels by Aug.
Snliraitz A- Son, Antwerp dealers. The
new article had tremendous prejudice to
overcouio and few could be found willing
to experiment with it. Tho exporters,
however, succeeded in finally disposing of
their slock of 40 barrels ol oil, and it yield
ed them a net return of 40 francs. It rap
idly wou its way, however, for from this
humble beginning of 40 barrels in 18G1,
the following year witnessed a demand for
1,500,000 gallons. By 1863, thanks to the
efforts of Dr. Crawford, it had come large
ly into use, and since that time has be
come a staple article ot commerce.
Dr. Crawford served as consul at Ant
werp until 1866, when be returned home
and began a successful career as an oil pro
ducer. Two years ago he moved from his
old home at Kensington in Butler county,
across tho river to Emlenton, where he
now resides. The doctor is a modest gen
tleman who regards the great work he was
instrumental in accomplishing as of very
ordinary account. He is only proud of
having dono his duty as an American citi
zen, but the men engaged in the oil busi
ness aro not unmindful or unappreciative
of the fact, that he was in at a critical
point in the commercial development of
the cheapest illuminant the world has
ever known, and that its successful intro
duction into Europe is largely due to his
endeavors."
