o'clock, noon, of said day, for the purpv.se

Attest JBBB B. RBX, Sec Y.
BTOBI*B of Hon. John Cessna are now in
order. An amusing incident occurred at
the Btate Convention of 1885. A. Wilson
Norris had just nominated Col. Quay for
SUte Treasurer in a speech that, has rarely
been equaled. Cessna arose to nominate
Longnecker, of Bedford, and alluded to
him as a lawyer who had gone to the front
rank in a county where they had good
lawyers. This pointed allusion to himself
oaused a laugh, bnt Uncle John was equal
to the occasion and remarked: "Excu r e
my modesty, gentlemen—lf it would strike
in it would kill me."
The Hawaiian Message.
It has been very plain for nearly a month
past that President Cleveland's obnoxious I
policy of restoring the rotton throne of the
shameless Liliuokalani a as a complete and
ignominious failure. It has been repudi
ated by the American people and has col
lapsed in Hawaii. > T e*er belore in this
generation has any measure of any Admin
istration been so odious and unpopular.
The only question left was how the Presi
dent would seek to extract himself from
his dismal dilemma with the least humilia
tion. His message sent to Congress is a
desperate attempt, not to save his policy
which is hopelessly crushed, but to retrieve
its tattered character in the public estima
tion.
The message adds very little light to
what iu already known. The only fea
ture of new interest are the instructions to
Minister "Willis and the indications of the
proposed method of restoring the monar
chy, Minister Willis was accredited to
President Dole. He presented his creden
tials with the most friendly and gracious
speech. At the same moment he was un
der instructions to conceal his mission
from the Government to which be was
sent but to inform the pretender Queen at
the earliest possible 'hour that she was to
be restored provided she would grant am
nesty to hor opponents. The Provisional
Government was not to receive any intim
ation until every arrangement had been
made with the Queen. The most impor
tant despatch of Mr. Willis is suppressed.
We are not allowed to see his report of the
aitnation as he found it. But the President
states that the Queen did not assent to the
proviso, and thus that his plan was frus
trated. If the Provisional Government re
fuse to yield, Mr, Willis was to report;
but it is given out that because of the
hitch with the Queen the subject was never
presented to it at all, and we know its an
swer, not through the Minister or the Pres
ident, bnt only by the ringing message of
both the Government and the people of
Hawaii that they wonld never submit to
the re-establishment of the offensive mon
archy,
This is the story as the President gives
it, but it excites the suspicion that there is
something left untold. Why should the
Queen hesitate to grant amnesty if she
could be restored? Why should she not be
willing to forgive it she obtained the prize?
Could there be any other rational explana
tion than that she knew she oonld not hold
her thrown? Did she not also answer that
she would not accept the throne nnless the
United States would guarantee to sustain
itt Why is the despatch of Mr. Willis of
Novemder 16 suppressed? Is it because
it reveals these things? And do not the
facts thus suggested completely answer
the President's whole argument that the
revolution rested on America intervention?
There is internal evidence to sustain this
view. Mr. Gresham's telegram of Decem
ber 3 instructs Mr. Willis that if the Qaeen
asks whether the United Status will main
tain her on the throne he is to answer that
the President cannot use force without the
authority of Congress. Why was that in
struction given at that late day unless the
question bad been raised? The Adminis
tration had heaid from the country. There
was a universal protest. Congress was
just meeting. The President was to be
called to account. ADd so the instruction
that no force was to be used was sent off.
But sent at that time it convicts the mon
archy and it does not save the President—
Prest.
CHICAGO is just now experiencing the
reactionary effects ot tbe Fair. For three
years the great exhibition drew thousands
upon thousands of workers to that city,
besides the nsnally large number who
aspire to live by their wits witbont work
ing. Now that tbe fair has ceased, upon
the beela of tbe bard times, it has been
estimated that there are in Chicago 117,000
unemployed persons. A special meeting
of the Illinois Conference of Charities and
Corrections was held on Saturday last, at
wbiob it was decided that it wasnecessaiy
to raise a charity fond of $1,000,000.
Shall Thia Bill Pass?
The Tariff Destruction bill is a most as
tonishing assault upon the industries of this
country.
Under free wool the great and growing
sheep-raising industry would be ruined
completely. This would affect the Pacific
and Rocky Mountain States, including
Pennsylvania
Under tbe free coal sobedults tbe ontpnt
of tbe bituminous mines must be decreased
That means less wages arid less time.
Under the oct in iron and >te-l tho great
mills of Pennsylvania would be f-.rced,
many of them, to close indefinitely. What
is lo become of the employes—the skilled
laborers?
Under the reduction the carpet mills
mnst face havoc and chaos. It is a most
alarming state of affairs.
What shall he done with this mischievous
kill?
Can the Republicans in Congress allow it
to pass?
Can any Democrat from Pennsylvania
and other States, where bread and butter
and living wages are dependent upon pro
taction, vote to sustain tbe Ways and
Means Committee's raid upon the nation?

THK conviction of Boss McKane, tbe
political autocrat of Coney Island, is a
matter of congratulation to all good citi
zens, but tbe sentence of thirty days im
prisonment and tbe paltry tine of $2 50. is
• punishment that hardly fits the crime.
McKane's bold defiance of the law to car
ry out his political schemes, and his re
fasal to recognise tbe injunctions of Judge
Barnard, were grave offenses against the
most honored institutions of the land, and
merited a sentence much more severe.

A scientific man will listen respectfully
to a new theory, because there are many
unsolved problems in the universe. But
he holds the theory in abeyance until he
sees how it works. If it settles a few vex
ed questions he will say it is likely to be a
true theory; if it settles a large proportion
of these questions be will be inclined to
adopt it; it it satisfactorily disposes of all
the perplexities which he has heretofore
encountered he will whistle his old theory
j down the.wind and accept the new one
without hesitation.
His rule is that what produces the best
results must needs be true, and when a
new theory has been successfully put to
that practical test he has no prejudice
against an acknowledgment of its claims.
Let us give an illustration which is fur
nisbed by astronomy. Up to the beginning
of the seventeenth century the planetary
orbits were supposed to be circles —that is
to say, the path around the fun in which
all the members of our solar system moved,
from Mercury to Xeptune was thought to
be circular. There were some difficulties,
however, which the circles failed to solve,
I and these increased until astronomers
were in despair.
When Kepler come he declared that the
oribts were not circles, but eclipses. Per
haps no proposition ever created more as
tonishment. It was daring to the edge of
rashness, and for some time was held at
arm's length. Later on, though., it was
discovered that Kepler's theory disposed
of all the difficulties which bad a;tended
the motion of circular orbits. Experiments
were made with it by the score, but it
never failed to vindicate itself It worked,
it produced results, and from that hour to
this it has never been blurred by a doubt.
The rule is a good one to apply to society,
to civilisation and to religion as well as to
astronomy. When we hear of Christianity
as a new moral and spiritual theory its
beauty and come.iness attract the intellect
and move the heart. But we can't fairly
judge either of its worth or its truth until
we find out what kind of a community,
what kind of men and women it can make.
Mere arguments are seldom conclusive,
for in a debate the brighter or more strate
gic mind takes the lead; but when instead
of arguments you have facts and can say
to the world, "Christianity has done this
or that, it has caused the people to create
these or those institutions, political or
charitable," then you demonstrate its
worth or its wortblessness. If it can do
the best work then it proves itself true,but
ifit fails to do this we are like the astron
omers in the time of Copernicus, who were
not satisfied with the planetary circle and
waited patiently for some new teacher,
some Kepler and his ellipse.
If we contrast Christianity with Moham
medanism or Brahminism, regarding them
all as theories of life, the weight of argu
ment would be in favor of Christianity, for
taken as a whole Christ's teachings are pe
culiary unworldly and uplifting But when
we place modern Europe by the side of
Arabia or India, regarding them as ele
ments of bam-in progress, as exponents of
the best that can be done by thre« conspic
uous forms of religion, argument becomes
dumb and the matter is decided by re-
suits.
In such a competition Christianity has
nothing to fear. Whether it be considered
as human or divine is just now a matter of
secondary importance. We look simply at
the prerogatives which men enjoy under it,
at the kiDd of ambition whith spurs men to
action, at the moral tone of society at
large, at the institutions which are the
logical consequence of belief in Christ, ut
the literature in which the people delight
and at the sympathy tor those who are un
tortnnate which prevails.
Brush tour theological cricds aside and
look at Christianity as a dynamic force;
measure its influence in the career of any
ono who has been consecrated by its spirit;
note its encouragement of public and pri
vate virtue, its instances on a high stand
ard ol honor, its injunction to provide for
the helpless and care for the needy, its
promise or pledge that when we leave the
body we shall take up our residence in "a
hou>e not made with hands Then com
pare these peculiarities with the general
teaching of any other religious system on
tho planet, and you will be compelled to
admit that in the production of a noble
lile Christianity leads all the rest.
It is not strange, therefore, that this
higher thought was ushered in by an over
tore in which angels predicted peace on
earth and good will to men. NorueoJ we
wonder if He who bore the sacred message
from heaven healed the sick or raised the
dead by a word ol command. The Person
who could project Himself into the life ol
eighteen centuries and give shape to more
than fifty generations would find an easy
task to master the mysteries of disease and
death.
Wo do well, therefore, to set apart one
day in the year thai we may celebrate with
songs of praise and family reunions the ad
vent of One who brought such glad tidii.gs
of great joy.

Washington Notes
At the hearing before the Ways and
Means Committee, Tuesday, Congressman
Dalzell was the only Republican wlio suc
ceeded iu having tho Wilson bill amende'd
in committee, and he goi in two amend
ments, and those quite important. Alter
hearing bis argument tin the aluminum
question, the duty was raised, as be sug
gested, from 15 per cent, ad valorem to 25
In the metal schedule ho succeeded in bay
ing the daty on drill rods and steel needles
increased from 25 to 35 per cent, ad valor
em. This change affects the Kidd Steel
Company, of Sbarpsburg, who are engaged
in the latter branch of the steel industry.
On Monday President Cleveland sent his
special message to Congress regarding tho
affairs of Hawaii, and in both houses the
message and the accompanying reports til
Blount and Willis antl the instructions to
them were listened to .vith the closest in
terest.
All that is new in Mr. Cleveland's mes
sage is found in the concluding para
graphs From these it appears that tho
President, iu the iunocuico of his l.eart,
instructed Mr Wiilis t"tell Queen Liliou
kalani that he would nid in her re.-tora
lion provided sho would promise to let by
gones I>e bygont s This message deliver
ed, Mr. Willis was next to tell the provi
sional government that it was "expected
to promptly relinquish to the Queen her
constitutional authority." In ca-e the
Queen agreed to tho. conditions, but if the
provisional government refused to surren
der, Mr Willis was lo be"gOvernedby pre
vious instructions," whatever they were.
The Queen told the President to "go to,"
and now Mr. Cleveland relegates tho en
tire matter to Congress, aud assures it that
he will bo gratified to co-operate in any
plan that will pull hiui out of the hole he
is in.
That the Queen's refusal arises from an
indisposition to "deal gently with the
ernug," few deem worthy of serious con
sideration The general belief is that sho
knows she could not maintain her authori
ty a single day, unless backed by United
States lorces, aud this support Mr. Cleve
land canutit promise her.
On To-. «day President Cleveland astoa
ished tho Democrats of both Houses by
nominating Wayne McVeigh of Pennsyl
vania to be Amhusrador to Italy. Major
Walker ot Erie, was nominated for U. S.
Marshal of Western Pennsylvania.

The Teacher*' Institute.
The teacher* ol this county assembled
in Annual Convention or Institute last
Monday, for the thirty-ninth time-accord
ing to the programme. The majority of
them came in on the morning trains; some
droye in, and as the wneeling was not
good that morning, a few walked. We
know of one teacher who improved his un
derstanding that morning by a ten mile
walk, and he arrived in Butler looking as
fresh and rosy as usual.
Two hundred and eighty-six teachers
had their names enrolled that day. The
woods of Butler county are full of good
teachers, and they all know enough to at
tend a goad Institute—Onward and up
ward is their motto —Excelsior.
That afternoon Aaron Keiber,Esq.,made a
plunsing address of welcome to the teach
ers and Augustus Black made a talented
reply in which he advocated the cause of
Temperance. Prof. March led in singing
"America," with the audience standing;
a recess was taken; and then the regular
work of the Institute began
Slate Superintendant Schaeffer and Prof.
Maltby are doing the practical talking to
the teachers, and they are both very pleas
iug and interesting instructors; while Dr.
Eetler is devoting himself to the mind and
soul in a series ol psychical or psycholog
ical aldresses which can be absorbed only
by the clearest of minds. Teachers who
wish to appreciate the Dr's addresses
should make sure of not impairing their
digeorion, by over eating or late hours
while in Butler or they may find them
selves afflicted with the phychical blind
ness or deafness noted in the dictionary.
Of the teachers —Howard Painter, H. S.
Gilbert, H.J. Lensner, Jennie Scott, W.
B. Campbell, Loyal Hall and J A. Gibson
have read or spoken during the week and
we beard some of their efforts spoken of
very favorably.
The evening entertainments have also
been satisfactory, and altogether the In
stitute has been a valuable and enjoyable
oae for the teachers, and creditable to the
County and City Superintendants.
THE DIRECTORS MEETING.
A large number of school directors ot
the county were present in the large Court
room Wednesday afternoon.
S. P. Bowser, the President of the Asso
ciation, called them to order, made a short
address of welcome, and spoke of the du
ties of the office.
Dr. Shaffer spoke of the daties of direc
tors, the importance of making the term
as long as possible; and he spoke very de
terminedly against the practice ot holding
elections "in school bouses —a practice
which prevails in this State but which is
prohibited in Ohio aud other States,
Ira McJunkin spoke on text books and
thinks there is danger in going too tast in
the matter.
Rev. Breaden spoke of the qualifications
and duties of directors. He believes in
comfortable school houses; proper books
and good teachers; the directors should be
patriotic, progressive and big souled men.
and tbe teachers should be of gooa moral
character; government tails iu tne bauds ot
the ignorant and "we must educate or
perish."
G. D. Swain thought the children should
be made to feel their responsibility to the
Statu and government.
S. F. Bowser was re-elected President;
Elliott Koi)b. Vice President, and W. P.
Jamison, Sec'y.
The Poor Man's Tariff-
The necessaries of life, says the Demo
cratic Party, are too high. The poor mail
cannot afford to pay the prices asked,
therefore the duties Bust be reduced ti at
he may get what he needs cheaper. Tie
result has been that the Democratic Wxys
and Means Committee has prepared a tar ff
schedule to meet the poor man's needs.
We liud accordingly that the duty on dia
monds has been reduced twenty-fivo per
cent, while they can also under the new
tariff import all the marble required to
build their palaces at least
twenty-five cents per cubic
foot loss than under the present tariff,
lint this is not all. The duties on cbarn
pagi.e and other wines are also to be lower
ed, and in order that day laborers may
UrinK it in good style the price ot cut glass
goblets, wine glasses and decanters is to be
lowi red. But even this is not all. W hen
the poor man wants to go and hear Patti
sing he is to have the privilege of buying
his opera glasses at least thirty per cent,
lower under the Wilson bill
than he could under
the IfcKinley bill. The duty on Havana
cigar-* will also bo reduced *i 50 per pound,
so that he may enjoy his Perfectos at more
rea.-ouable prices
Then, too, when tie desires to present
some church with a stained glass window
or two, he will be enabled to do so at a
figure at le*bt ten per cent, under the
pre. i'iit cost. Ue will also be enabled to
buV bis pig imn aud steel rails from three
to five dollars a ton less than at present,
w liieh means a great saving to him. Tbi-re
will »lso be material reductions in lace
cm tains, laces of other kinds and embroid
eries of other kinds, which the working
man's wives and daughters may want to
purchase. Silks, velvets, plushes and all
the other finery which the poor men are
a<-cnst'.:med to put on their wives' backs
will lie procurable at materially lower rates
under the Wilson bill. Even gold ieaf,
silver leaf and locomotives will be made
much cheaper to accommodate him.
Ic short, a hundred things will be
cheapened to meet his needs Anyone can
see how this proposed tariff will tavor the
poor man. Even wages will be much
cheaper, to make them accord more nearly
with those ol Europe. After all this, who
will dare assert that the new tariff will not
be in the interests of the wage earners—
ihe poor men. —Lancaster -V cto Era.
An Excellent Candidate.
The death of General Lilly has cant upon
th« Republicans of Pennsylvania the task
of leading off in the fight against the Dem
o ratio tariff-smashers at Washington.
This will he the first Sta o to vote for a
Congressman after the report of the Wilson
bill, and that vote should be cast with a
lull sense of our responsibility to the Re
publicans of the whole land. We owe it
to the party that onr candidate and our
vote should be at once an exponent of
Found Republicanism and an unmistakable
pledge of Pennsylvania's devotion to the
party principles.
For these reasons we endorse with great
ratisfuction the suggestion that Galusha A.
Grow, of Susquehanna county, be select
ed to Gil the seat vacated by General Lil
ly '« death. The ex Speaker is now an old
man, bat we understand be is still active
M.d vigorous in mind and body; and ot the
robust character of his Republicanism no
II .in needs an assurance. His fame as a
political leader is wide-spread, and his
nomination would be a notice to tho whole
cointry that Pennsylvania Republicans
stand sqnarcly lor sound currency and for
tho effective protection of American indus
tries and interests. Wellsboro Agitator.

Row heard the racket and got to the field
in time to be in at the death of tne sheep.
The hunters, after the dogs were raken off
the sheep, left on short notice; but Mr
Kow is a good runner *nd overtook one of
them and proposed a basis of settlement,
which was that as the hunters would pay
$3 75 each all would be torgiven The
hoys concluded that the best thing to do
was to pay the bill, wnich they did. They
aver that the next time they go hunting
they will go without dogs, as the other way
is a trifle too expensive.
There is every indication that the disease
known as epiiontic or influenza, now pre
vails in this vicinity says the Indiana, i'a..
Messenger. Numbers of horses have re
centlj died in the county, and veterinary
surgeons are kept busy treating the disease,
which seems to be of a peculiarly malig
naut character. Dr. Miller advises the
greatest care of horses both before and
atter being attacked. They should be kept
warmly stabled and blanketed in chilly,
raw weather; carefully and thoroughly
groomed, led with clean hay and grain and
the bowels kept in regular condition.
Upon the first symptoms of the disease —
running at the nose and trembling rigors
or chills —prompt medical treatment should
be at once commenced.

home in Bedlord on Wednesday night ol
last week, alter an illness of about three
months, of diabetes insipidus, in his 73rd

The death of the Hon. John Cessna re
i moyes Irom life one the most distinguish
ed men of onr State. He died at Bed

i to State and National Conventions, he was
; regarded as one of the brightest aud ablest

' pure in motive. It is in this respect that
the memory of John Cessna should be most
3 cherished and remembered by the people
1 of Pennsylvania. He achieved great fame
for bis knowledge of Parliamentary law

quick and able legislators our State has
had for many years, but is as a man and a
- friend we pay this tribute to his memory,
and it is as such that all who knew him
will ever remember him.
