The State Platform.
With one exeeption the positions taken in
the platform framed at Harrisburg last
week are sound, and the document as a
whole is a decided improvement on the
general run of declarations of that nature.
Just what influence prompted the insertion
of the statement that the Republicans of
Pennsylvania favor the expansion of the
circulation of the country to the tune of
70 per oent. we are at a lose to understand.
There is little evidence anywhere in this
part of the country of any such public sen
timent—least of all among Republicans,
and we believe this declaration of the
platform is absolutely without any basis in
fact. It should not have been inserted by
the Committee, and when reported it
should have been struck out by the Con
vention.
Otherwise the declarations of the plat
form are sound and timely. The demand
for the immediate and unconditional re
peal of the law for the purchase of silver
bullion undoubtedly reflects the opinion
and wishes of nine-tenths of the Republic
ans Of the Btate. It is certainly to be hop
ed that both our Senators will heed the re
quest to support that repeal. The declar
ation that the public should be
discharged in money approved and current
jn all civilised land is especially pertinent
at this time when the insane notice that
the Government fiat can impart intrinsic
value to money is so persistently asserted
jn some quarters.
The framen of the • platform also stood
on solid ground when they pointed out
the causes of the present business distress.
It is undoubtedly true that this trouble
is due to the conviction that a destructive
attack is aboat to be made on the system
under which American industries have
grown and prospered for the last thirty
years. The protest against a change of
the present revenue law until it has been
lairly tested by its praotical operation is
dictated by business common-sense. The
ooudemnation of the hostile attitude of the
Democratic Administration towards the
the veterans of the Union army is well de
served, and the recommendation in regard
to our emigration laws is equally sensi
ble. On the whole, as we have said, bar
ring the exception noted the platform is
sound and will satisfy the majority of the
party voters. —Wellsboro Agitator.

What i» Money.
What is moneyt That question has bee*
asked over and over again, and even the
wisest expounder* of economy differ wide
ly in their explanations. Prof. Jevens
calls it "a common denominator of value,
a medium of exchange, a standard of val
ue." P. A. Walker: says "That which
does the money work is the money thing."
In his yiews, evidently even fiat shin
plasters would deserve the name of money.
John Stewart Mill, sounder and more ad
vanced in thought, says: "It would seem
that the necessary part of the idea of mon
ey is that it should have value in itself."
Also, "We have seen that legislatures can
not control the'natural value of eve* prec
ious metals by giving them legaltender
power. Much less could it be done for
paper money." But even since his day the
world has advanced, and the definition for
money of the present day would be more
properly as follows: "Money is coined
treasure (gold or silver,) of certain weight
and fineness, or note promising payment
in the former upon demand, secured by a
sufficiency of precious metal on hand to
make the promiso good at any and all
times."
For my part, I claim that though money
be aso called medium of exchange, not
every medium of exchange can be clawed
as money. The lattr carries with it the
idea of intrinsic value actually in sight or
grasp—the former is the simple promise ta
deliver value without actual or fixed re
serve, to secure this promise, depending
solely upon the solvency of the promisor
nd the nation at large.
Our national bank currency, same as
checks, drafts, or bills of exchange, may
be with right termed a medium of ex
change, but is not noney in the strict
sense of the word.
It should be the first duty and greatest
desire of the National bankers to have
Congress make it such at an early day.—

A Great Sale.
At the Court House in Kittanning to-day.
■will occur one of the greatest sales of real
estate ever made in this state.
The sale will be the last act in a finan
cial drama, which began on the historic
"Black Friday," the mills having shut
down twenty years ago.
Any person who has seen an abandoned
oil town, with rottening derricks, rusted
machinery and deserted and windowless
houses,can imagine the desolate appearance
of Brady 's Bend which is located on the
banks of Allegheny River, seventy miles
north of Pittsburg. Long rows of aban
doned "company houses and monster piles
of furnace slag, upon which the grass is
growing, give evidence of the existence
long ago of a monster iron plant,for when
originally constructed it was the largest
west of the Allegheny Mountains.
There will be put up for sale at public
auction the Brady's Bend Iron Company s
tract of land, consisting of over MOO acres.
The sale is the result of a suit in equity te
foreclose a first mortgage, pursuant to an
order of sale entered on Juno 3 by Judge
S. S. Mehard, of Mercer County, before
whom the matter was argued. All the
lands, mineral rights, leaseholds, works
and buildings of the company will be offer
ed for sale. The real estate lies partly in
Clarion county and partly in Armstrong.
In the spring of of 1838 Philander Ray
mond, a New York civil engineer, reached
the Allegheny River in the vicinity of
Brady's Bend and began prospecting in the
hills on a tract of land owned ,by Dr. Eli3ha
Wahl. Samples of the iron ore found
were sent East and when examined by ex
perts were pronounced valuable. The
Wall] tract consisted ot IGOO acres and was
purchased in fee by Raymond.
The following year Mr. Raymond organ
ized the Great Western Iron Company.
The plant consisted of two blast furnaces,
a nail and flat rail mill. These were oper
ated successfully until 1850, when the flat
rail mill was transformed into a T-rail mill,
making it the first of the kind west of the
Allegheny Mountains. Shortly after the
company failed. It was tt«en under the
management of Isaac C. Perry, as trustee
of the Great Western Iron Company.
The property consisting of 1600 acres of
lanl, furnaces, rolling mills and equip
ments, were put up at Sheriff"s sale and
was purchased by a wealthy Bostonian
named Sawyer. The new owner made ex
tensive improvements and conducted a
prospeiwnK business till his death which
occurred in 1857. Mr. Sawyer, although
married, had left no children,'.and his wife's
death having proceeded his,he made a Cath
olic charitable institution in Massachu
setts his legatee.
In the summer ol '62 W. B. Ogdeo, a
Chicago lumberman purchased the proper
ty for $50,000. The furnaces and mills
had not been operated for iiyo yearn. He
put it in shape and expended SBO,OOO be
fore a wheel was turned. The repairs hay
ing been completed in the Winter of 'O2,
the Spring of of '63 found it ready to start
again. In the meantime additional tracts
of land had been purchased aggregating in
all 5000 acres, located in Armstrong, But
ler and Clarion counties. On the east side
of the river sixty acres had been laid out
in town lots and on them was built what
now constitutes the town of East Brady.
Thirty years ago last June found the
Great Western Iron "Works launched for
a second time on tho road to prosperty,
and on a greatly enlarged scale. Two fur
naces had been added, with a total capacity
of 250 tons of pig iron per week. One of
the stacks made charcoal forge iron, and
the other three used coke. The rolling
mill had twenty-five puddling furnaces and
five trains of rolls. It required 1600 skilled
and day laborers to operate the plant. A
standard gaugo railroad had been built
and fully equipped for a distance of five
miles upJSugar Creek. In one of the years
of the rolling mill's greatest prosperity it
turned out 8000 tons of iron rails—steel
rails at that time had not been heard of—
and they sold as high as SBS a ton.
I should be stated, however, that Ogden,
when he took possession of the property 1 ,
stocked the ci3Hcorn for sl,ooo,ooo,ana sold
it out, taking in part payment $500,000 in
first mortgage bonds. The new corporation
was then styled the Brady's Bend Iron
Company.
The late Samuel J. Tilden was secured
as counsel for the new corporation, and
many of the original stockholders believe
that through his advice the trustees were
induced to issue a new series of $500,000
in second mortgage bonds, subject to the
first mortgage. To the second issue of
bonds is attributed the downfall of the
magnificent industry. Under the weight
of this mortgage the stock depreciated,and
the solidity of the firm began to be ques
tioned, and the remittances from the East
came with less promptness. Promise was
all the pay the men received for their labor
dnring tho months of July, August and
September, '73.
On the twenty-third day of the month
last named, the memorable"Black Friday"
blew its withering breath against its al
ready tottering finances,and it went down.
Mr. Tilden visited the works frequently
prior to its suspension, and this fact lead
many to think that his interest in the con
cern extended beyond that of attorney.
This opinion-became deeply confirmed in
recent years, when a calf was made by the
receiver for a listing of the outstanding
of the first mortgage bonds. Mr. Tilden
had died previous to the call, and his legal
repr9sentatives came forward with first
mortgage bonds amounting to $9500. The
first mortgage bonds had been peddled and
traded around till they were scattered as
far as Maine and west to th« Pacific Coast.
There is still outstanding of the first issue
$50,00 not yet listed.

THERE'S a mistaken notion prevalent
especially in the rural districts, that one
cannot touch or remove tho body ol per
sons killed by accident or violence until
the coronor has arrived. The notion is a
mistaken one, but how it holds its place
is a mystery. Tho New York Tribune
quotes a lawyer as saying recently on this
subject: "There never was a more ridicu
lous and absurd pieco of nonsense than
this. I have seen a body lie in everybody's
way because the people thought it was
unlawful to touch it. This foolish tradi
tion amounts to a superstition, and you
I may be sure no coroner takes the trouble to
enlighten stupid ignorance upon the sub
ject. The coroner is only too willing
to aggrandixe his influence and
power, and therefore rather encourages
than discourages this silly suporstition.

in England it is written 0 25 (always with
the period ot the top of the liue), aad in
the United States in this way, 0.25. France
and Germany always use the comma (,),
England and the United States the period
(.),tbe only difference being the manner
ia which it is placed on the line. Sir
Isaac Newton is given the credit of origi
nating the present English method of using
the decimal point, his reason being that
by placing it at the top of the line it could
be distinguished at a glance from a "full

mathematicians use the mark in the way
proposed by Newton, and the period as a
sign ot multiplication.

IsHoßMATioif comes from London of the
formation there of a Society for the Regu
lation of Widows. Details, we regret to
say, arUacking as to who and what this
society is composed of, thongh it scarcely
seems possible that it ean consist of men
in any considerable proportion. Thongh
man is the victim—the natural prey—of
widows, ho has no desire to be otherwise.
The new association must be made up of
the widows' sisters. •
This view seems the most reasonable
when we are told that the movement
against the widow is begun on tho ground
that "as a matter of abstract j ustice, it is
not right that one woman should marry
two or three times, when thousands of
equally deserving sisters have no chance
to inarry even once;" and to uphold this
dogma it is proposed to prevent widows
from marrying. The new war on the
widow is certainly being carried on by
other women. There may be a few in
dividually disappointed men. already mar
ried to widows, who are giving aid and
comtort to the new movement, unknown,
of course, to their wives; but women must
form the active and visable workers—the
controling spirits—of the society. But we
suspect that the English widows are no
more alarmed at the movement against
tbem than were the falls of Niagara when
Mr. Oscar Wilde stood on their awful
brink and told them, in a calm, firm voice,
that they wore not what they were crack

resides in the people, the follies and vices
of the people weaken tho government just
as the follies and vices of a monarch weak
en his government. It is just as important
that the voters have sound views on mat
ters of public policy as the President him
solf. for on that depends the kind of repre

At New Castle, Thursday, Mrs. Straw

18 years of age. Bis parents owned a
farm adjoining that of the Strawheckers,
and until last summer they were on friend
ly relations. The young man and tne
girls attended the same school and at
night met each other at country parties.
For a time the young man's attentions
were bestowed equally upon each girl, but
he had began to show a strong inclination
for the society of the younger. The seeds
of jealousy in the heart of the other sister
bore fruit in prejudicing the girl's parents
against the suit of Masonheimer. lie was

Strawhecker grew 30 intense thai she fin

New Kensington has been bothered for
some time past with a number of disrepu

made a raid on them and nine "chippies"

lodged in the Greensburg jail where they
will have to answer to court. The Greens
burg Democrat of Tuesday says- There
was a decidedly pathetic scene in the court
room Friday afternoon during the trial of
the nine females of the Kensington houses
of ill fame. While the prisoners sat in
the dock, under the stare of a curious
throng, a middle aged woman entered the
court room and immediately began to
scrutinize the defendants in a way that
attracted attention. Finally she fastened
her gase on the youngest of the party and
started directly toward her, exclaming
half audibly: "My God, it is my daughter
and she has come to this, and has been to
jail The two women embraced and
wept bitterly, while the spectators were
deeply affected by tho touching scene. A
tip stave then led the broken hearted moth
er away to a seat and the next day tho
wayward girl's stepfather paid her fine and
t»ok her home. The girl gave her name
as May Woods. She ran away from her
home on the fourth of July, since which
time her parents were unable to locate her.
The old couple bore the appearance of em

they reßido at Homestead, where the girl
has a comfortable home and which she
deserted to lead a life of sin and shame.

lis said he passed Herr's Island and Mill
vale without beiDg molested, but as he ap
proached the Etna borough liue he was stop
ped by two men. who told him to throw up
his hands. Mr. George pleaded sorrowful

waymen only laughed at him. After se
curing all the valuablos on the victim's
person the men ran up the hill and disap
peared in the woods. Xo trace of them

The Reiber A Bradner well, on the
KnaulF farm, located a mile northwest ot
the Thompson farm developments, is mak
ing 00 bbls. a day. The Derrick says that
the old well on the Reiber farm, drilled a
year ago. and located "00 feet north of the
Knauff well, has been put to pumping and
is producing 25 bbls. of oil a day and 1,-
300 bbls. of salt water. This company is
now starticg a well on the Forsythe farm,
midway between the Knauff well and the
Thompson farm development. This is re
garded as an important test.
The Forest Oil Co. is building the rig for
No. 4. Hespenhide, at Mars Station. The

IT is a singular circumstance that in the
history of the country the cry of distress is
always uttered by a Democratic President.
Xo Republican President ever found it
necessary to tell the people of this country
that its monetary and business interests
were in a deplorable condition.
A GANG of robbers stopped a train on the
Lake Shore road near Keseler, Ind., last
Monday night, shot the engineer, blew the
express safe open with dynamite, and rob
bed it of $19,000. None of the passengers
were molested.
THOMAS A. EDISON sent the following
note written on a card to a reporter who
went to s#e him in regard to the partial
shut-down of the Edison phonograph
works: "The phonograph works have been
shut down because we have nearly com
pleted all the orders on hand, and the pro
prietor thereof, seeing that the country
has resolved itself into a national lunatic
asylum, decided to wait until the wave
has subsided somewhat."
THE Committee on Ways and Means is
now at work on a general tarriff bill, and
once more the manufacturers will stand in
breathless idleness waiting to see what is
to be done.
A MAN'S ambition should nit be to out
rival and excell others, but to outdo him
self. Make stronger and better efforts
every day to do better than the day before.
That is the way to grow intellectually and
morally.
THE brain of a man is a peculiar thing.
The more you put into it the more it will
contain. The fuller it is of facts the more
room there is for more facts. The less it
contains of knowledge the fuller it feels.

The time aptly deaign&ted the Fall
Festivities Season, WAS inaugurated by
the opening of the Fifth Annual Exhibi
tion of the Great Pittsburgh Exposition,
on the evening of September 6th.
This pre-eminently successful institu
tion, is very popular with the people of
Pittsburgh and vicinity, ita attractions
are always of the highest order, and never
fail to please the hundreds of thousands
of visitors who patronize it each season.
Its average yearly attendance is five
hundred thousand persons during the
forty days it is open. These figures we
abundant evidence of its jiopularity.
Tho opening this season was even a
more pronounced success than ever before.
The announcement was made, that the
public would be admitted at 8 p. m., but
long before that hour, thousands of anx
ious visitors were clamoring for admission.
Everything being in readiness, the man
agement anticipated the time set for the
opening by nearly one hour. A stream of
jolly, jubilant patrons, poured in the
great buildings, and those who felt music
ally inclined, quickly occupied the seats
in the vicinity of the band stand, in an
ticipation of the appearance of the famous
P rooks band, and the ever popular Black
atti. When they appeared, these public
favorites were greeted with tumultous ap
plause by the immense audience, who
clearly showed their appreciation, as the
concert progressed, of both the band and
singer.
The buildings presented a handsome
appearanco throughout, the exhibits are
costly and in good taste, some of the
displays being unusally elegant. The
decorations are new and in harmony with
the surroundings. Spanish and American
colors predominating.
The visitors clearly showed by t' :i
actions that they were gratified and
pleased, and the Fifth Expof-i!. wilh
All its pleasant features has become an
iccomDliehed fact. llMtitm.

On the 2nd day of April) 1892, I com
menced to use yonr new cure for one of
my horses that had the heaves very bad,
and continued to nse the medicine for
about forty days and the horse did not
show any signs of a retuin of? them. It is
now a 6out a year since I quit givin the
medic\ne and the horse has never sowed
any signs of heaves, and I feel st isfied
that he ia properly cured.|
