The election law requires that "certifi cates of nomination and nomination papers for candidates for township and borough offioera, and election officers and school directors in the same, shall be hied with the Count! Commissioners at least eigh teen and fifteen days respectively before the day of election"—the day of filing ex- 1 eluded and eleotion day included in the reckoning. This will make Friday. February 2d the last day for filing oertifioates on nomina tion, and necessitates the holding of the PARTY primaries before that date. All certificates of nomination and nomi nation papers must specify the party, offices and names of candidates, and be signed aud sworn to by the convention or election offioerr, who shall add their places of res idence. The County Commissioners must have the tickets printed and distributed. After certificates are filed objections may be made as to any alleged irregularity that may involve a hearing before the Court, whioh would neoessarily delay the print ing and distribution of the ballots. Xenoe the importance of those interest ed in the nominations exercising NET TRULY unusual care to make no mistakes bat to have the nominations made and the certificates handed in to the Commis sioner's office at an early day. Butler borough this year elects a Tax Collector for three years, a Burgess, as teasors, and one Councilman and one Bohool Director from each ward. AT the meeting of the Lincoln League Monday evening, Newton Black spoke on tariff and pensions; J.D.McJunkin eulogis ed Linooln, whose name honors the League, and also Galusha A. Grow, whose merits entitled him to a seat in the TJ. 8. Renatn at the hands of the Republicans of thia State year* ago, and who would have had such seat had it not been for the inter fsrenoe of managing politio ans; J. N. Moore spoke of the necessity of looking after the registration lists and getting out a toll vote at the February election; com mittees were appointed to interview Re publicans who bad not paid their taxes; a aet of reeolutions prepared by D. B. Douthett, Isaac Meals and J. C. Kiskad don handsomely indorsing Grow's nomina tion were unamiously and enthusiastically adopted. An effort will be made to have Grow speak here during the oampaign May 33d. At the meeting of the State Committee ia Harrisburg on Wednesday of last week, Wednesday, May 23d was fixed npon as the date of the State Convention this year, to nominate a State tioket— i.e. candidates for Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Audi tor General. Secretary of Internal Affairs and two Congressmen-at-Large. This will necessitate the holding of our primaries not later than Saturday, May 12th, though the County Committee, which Chairman Leighner will call together after the February election, may fix an earlier date. Gen. Hastings and Hon. C. W. Stone are the only two candidates for Governor; "Jaok" Robinson and Walter Lyon want be Lieutenant Governor; Mylin of Lancas ter seems to have it all his own way for .Auditor General; and ex-Senator Showalter of Mlllerstown and Capt. Brown of Brie would like to be Secretary of Internal Af iairs, while Stewart would not object to staying on. Grow will probablv be renom inated for Congress and Alex McDowell is ■aid to be in it for another term. THX great donbt as to Grow is as to whether his majority will to 200,000 or 300,000. Let us all turn out at the Febru ary election, and do our share towards put* ting it np to the last figures. Dalzell vs. Carnegie When shown the interview with Andrew Carnegie on the tariff question, Congress man Dalsell, of Pittsburg, said: "It is absolutely impossible to make any changes in the Wilson bill whioh would make it acceptable to the country. The Wilson bill contemplates a legislative orime. In the midst of great business de pression, and under pretense of devising a means to create revenue, it bankrupts the national treasury by cutting off from #79,000,000 to $100,000,000 of revenue per annum, and creates a necessity for burden" ing the people with direot taxes, which were never heretofore dreamed of by any sane man as justifiable in time of peace. This defeot is so rauioal as to absolutely oondemn the whole measure. "It brutally ignores the cause of Amer ioan labor. No doubt the manufacturers can get along under it. Capital can al ways take oare of itself. But the Wilson bill gives no alternative to our working men except to put themselves on the plane of labor abroad. It is against the interest of American education, American homes and American morals. "This bill must be looked at in its en tirety, and not as it may effect one interest or one locality. As a measure to adjust the tariff it is so full,from beginning to end, of manifest inconsistencies, as to deserve the term patehwork. It is illogical in •very way. It provide* for free raw mate rial for the manufacturers, and dearer manufactured goods for the consumer. Its snbstitntion of ad valorem for specific duties entitles it to be oalled 'A bill to pro vide for frauds upon the national revenues" and whatever else may be said, it is a sec tional Mil, in the interest cf the men who made it ,Bonthera members who dominate the Ways and Means Committee, and who •re bj ednoation and environment least ftmlliar with the industries, enterprises and interests of the American people. It la a measure that oannot be made accept able to this conn try." Sandy Hill and Vicinity. It is said: That 8. F. Johnston visited friends in Saxonbnrg last week. That Robert Whiteside has been nursing a sore hand for the past eouple of weeks. Have patience Bob. That Robert Glasgow, Jr. has been on the sick list for tbe past niontb. That Messrs J.

Q, Pi A Democrat Criticises the Wilson Bill. Hon. M. E. Ingalls of Cincinnati, presi dent of the Big Four Railroad, created a sensation at the Democratic Jackson clnb banqnet in Columbus, Ohio, last Monday night in speaking to the toast, "The Chi cago Platform of 1892." Speaking of the repeal of the Sherman act he said: "It was broaght about by Republican votes, and they got more credit perhaps than we did for the repeal. It seems to me that the administration is also open to criticism that it did not by conferenco and consulta tion arrange a compromise bill that would practically accomplish the same results and which would have passed with Democratic votes and as a Democratic measure. Referring to President Cleveland he said: "The theory that the king can do no wrong will nerer succeed in this country. Neither does all knowledge, all wisdom lie with the president and his advisers. The criticisms I make here to night I make as a Democrat, as one who voted far Cleveland three successive presi dential elections. We are in the midst of evil times—mills have stopped, industry s paralysed, and everywhere idle men are filling the streets and asking for work, and there is none. Xo such calamity has ever before befallen this community in its histo ry. The committee on wayß and means bas sent to congress a tariff bill which in addition to the deficit ol $50,000,000 will produce $75,000,000 more of loss, leaving the government at the end of the financial year short $125,000,000 unless it can be made up in other ways. How do you expect to make up this $125,000,000? "Cover your heads with shame, my fel low Democrats, for your party in power these days of peace proposes to go back and enact the war taxes of the past; and whyt in order that they may make a tarifl framed according to the theories of a few men familiar only with the books and re dnce on certain articles which do not do mand it and make certain articles free whioh are not called tor. Was there ever such follyT The gentleman who fathers thir measure is a distinguished member of Con gress, coming from a little villiage in the mountains of West Virginia. He is a student of the doctrine of free trade and well educated as a theorist. By some chance he is made chairman of the com mittee of ways and means, and is put astride of the commerce of this oountry »nd proposes to demonstrate his theories, although in so doing he may wreck the country and his party. "Just as sure as you place coal and iron on the free list, so sure will Virginia ai.d West Virginia leave the Democratic col umn at the next election. Tell me where are yon to get the electorial votes to take their place? Can you placate mugwumps enough in New England to give you the votes that you lose it the SoutbT "What justification is there in free coalf None, except that the books say raw ma terial should be free, and this committee, with no business experience, but wedded to their theories, have classed coal as a raw material, when every ton at the mouth of the pit represents 90 per cent, of labor and 10 per cent, of material. It would seem to me that if you wished protection for labor here was a batter chance for it than anywhere else. Who asks for free coalf The people? No; no one except a few New England and New York specu lators who rushed over into Nova Scotia the week after election,when they thought they could establish free trade, and bought everything that could be brought in there if the duties were taken off, from an iron mine to a lime kiln. "While this committee of ours graciously allows the coal of her majesty Queen Vic toria to come in here and displace our own and break down a half million of our laborers, the thrifty Canuck smiles and still charges us 60 cent? a ton for all that we sell in his western dominions. Verily, this committee of ways and means are great and patriotic gentlemen. In bebalt ol the great body of business men of this oountry I protest against experiments at this time In behalf of the Democratic rank and file I protest against a measure which, if passed; will turn the country over to the Republicans. I wish I could reioh every Democrat in the land to arouse them to action so that they would make their objections felt with their con gressmen. "It is a time of peril to the party. I would sound the alarm, 'To your tents, O Israel.' Unless we can bring about a change of administration, unless we con stop that so-called Wilson bill in congress, we shall go down as a party to nelpless defeat on the next election, and it will be years belore the people will trust us again. We want congress to stop experimenting for the benefit of a few theorists and scholars." The address was vociferously applauded THBRK is such a thing as "slandering your neighbor,', which is mighty poor bus iness, and there is sach a thing as properly characterizing a rascal or pulling the mask off of a hypocritical knave, which is praise worthy. We are all labelled and classified or should be, like the naturalist's speci mens, and it is merely a matter ot putting the labels where they belong. If we put tbe stamp of a rascal on an honest man we are perpetrating a wrong. It is just as great a crime to speak in terms of approval ot a bad man and try to make it appear that be is a good man, as it is to defame a good man. For tbe safety of society all men should be properly stamped, just as tbe jars and bottits in a drug store need to be properly labelled. Therefore, we would say, speak no ill of any man—unless you know it to be true.— Spirit. THB Democratic Stato Convention at Harrisbnrg, Wednesday, nominated J. D. Hancock of Franklin, for Congressman-at- Large. Hancock is an out-and-out free trader. Waahington Notes. On Thursday Wilson was again humil iated. He took his seat in the House, ready to present his bill, McMillen of Tennessee proposed its consideration; and the Republicans and enough Democrats re frained from voting to make "no quorum," and the house had to adjourn, although there were enough Democrats in the city to make a quorum had they chosen to be present. Wilson was disgusted and was reported as saying: "For nearly a year I have worked upon this bill and I am almost worn out, and where I look for support I get only abuse and misrepresentation. I am tired of it." Whether the report of his resignation be true or not, it is certain that Mr. Wilson is having a hard time of it. Every Demo cratic Congressman whose seat ts threaten ed by the Wilson bill is abusing him. The action of the House Wednesday and Thurs day certaiuly disheartened him, and the fact that much ot the Democratic dissatis faction is caused by the income tax feature, which be himselt is opposed to, no doubt added to his embarrassment. On Sunday the Hawaiian question was the topic of overpowering interest in Washington, tbe woes of the Democratic majority in the House in being unable to obtain a quorum for tbe consideration of the Wilson bill being for the time practic ally overshadowed in importance. The rumors relative to Minister Willis's action at Uonolulu, tumors aggravated in interest by the persistent refusal of the ad ministration to give the public any infor mation as to tbe dispatches bronght by the C>:rwii>, put both Democrats and Republi cans in a commotion. The former are simply trembling in their shoes lest tLeee contitfli tJte Jnklaod repert, A fact which will not only convict President Cleveland of unparalleled duplicity in hi« dealings with Congress and the people, bnt add to the load of unpopularity under which the Democratic party is now stag gering. On Tuesday a quorum was secured in the House, the tariff bill wa> presented, and the debate on it begun. There were enough of its supporters on hand, some coming of their own accord, others caught in the Sargeant-at-Arm s drag-net. to give the motion to proceed to the consideration of the pending tariff measure 186 votes, or just 12 more than necessary. But there were more than 200 Democratic members in the House wheu the vote was taken, showing that the re calcitrant members could not be whipped into line. Yielding to wiser counsels, the majority amended the resolution so as to allow ali this week for general debate, two weeks for debate under the the tive-minnte rule, aud changing the day for the final vote from January 25 te January 29. This is a slight improvement on the original pro gram, but, as ex-Speaker Reed most forci bly pointed out, utterly inadequate to the demands of the situation, and in striking contrast with the fairness shown by the Republicans to the minority in the debate on theMcKinley bill. Chairman Wilson's speech in opening the debate, while loudly applauded by his Democratic colleagues, cannot be said to bave helped the bill. It lell far below the expectations of both Democrats and Re publicans The general opinion of the lat ter may be very forcibly summed up in the words of Congressman Dalzell.of Pittsburg, to night. He said: The speech was a disappointment. While Republicans did not expect any thing new on the subject, they have a high opinion of Mr. Wilson's abilities, and certainly expected an abler presentation ot nis side of so important a matter. But, as »u argument, it i.-< ntterly illogical, deal ing Urgelj in statements simply dogmatic and easily diaproven. As a specimen ot its inconsistencies take his statement that protection does not protect the wool-grow er in the price ol his wool, and tho otner that free wool will cheapen the price of clothing. His style of argument was one not ex pected froui a man of his standing. (Quoting from the last report of Mr. swank, secretary ot the Iron and Jiteel As sociation, the words "One of the most serious rebellions on the part of wage earners occurred last year," he took the word "rebellion" as the text lor an almost demagogic argument that labor was re garded as holding the same sort of alle giance to its employers as subjects held to their king. This was hardly befitting a scholar and a statesman. In tact the whole speech was a disappointment. On Tuesday Wilson concluded his speech in defense of his bill, and was answered by Mr. Burrows who showed that the McKin ley bill had lulfilled every purpose intend ed, aud that under it the country had pros pered, while the shadow of free trade had suut up workbhops and was causing mil lion of men to be idle. Grow's Speech at Harrisburg. "When Galusha A. Grow was escorted to the pl&tf orm of the ball in Harri*burg, last Wednesday, where sat the convention that had just nominated him for Congressman at-Large, he spoke as follows: "Gentlemen, accept my double thatks, First, for the kindness implied in your cor dial greeting to mc, and, next, for the unanimous vote by which you have teridereo me the nomination. Rest assured that they will ever be among the cherished memories of life. "For the first time since 1856 the Demo, cratic party has been intrusted with the power of government by the people, and it seems to be beginning now just where it ended then. This generation has no knowledge by experience of what a Demo cratic administration of the government i« The Democratic party in power is a staud ing menace to business. Wby, the mere threat contained in its platform has com pletely paralyzed the business ol the coun try. Never in our history have our indus tries been so prostrated, nor so many peo ple thrown into enforced idleness as wo find to day after less than one year ol Dem ocratic rule. "Iu 1892, under tho wiso and patriotic Republican administration, the country tud reached its highest degree of prosperi ty it had ever known. Every branch of liu -iness in every part of the land was pros perous, and there was work lor every man who wanted it at the highest rate of wages that has ever been paid, except in times ol war. "At such a time tbe people were called npon to elect a President and a Congress, and with that reckless spirit of change which sometimes sways the unthinking masses, the majority sowed the wind and the business of the country is now waiting for the harvest. We are told by the Dem ocrats that the present condition of affairs is a legacy from the Republican party. That is too thin a veil to cover their in competency. and it is not true. The Re publican party in its thirty-three years of power has left legacies of which we may all feel proud. The first one is a union free and a country saved. Second, a cir culating medium of gold, silver and paper, interchangeable one into the other, and every dollar as good in any foreign coun. tty as it is at home. We have also left as a legacy a banking system under which no bill holder ever lost a dollar. But the Democratic party proposes to replace this with the old red dog i>nd shinplaster State banking system. Another legacy of the Republican party is a revenue system of protection under which the industries of the country have grown from sixteen thousand millions of dollars in 1860, to sixty-three thousand millions in 1890. Under this system of protection the Government has been provided with reve nue to meet all its current expenses, over $3,000,000,000 of the war debt has been wiped oat; it has enabled us to provide the heroes who risked their lives for the Union with liberal and just pensions, and has pro tected the workiugman from competition with the underpaid workmen of Europe. "The Democratic parly proposes to sup plant tbis system by a tariff which its ad vocates admit will not raise sufficient rev enue to meet the expenes of the govern ment. It is neither a protective nor a rev enue tariff, but suggests one of those hy brids, which in nature, has not power to ' perpetuate itself. They will neither raise revenue for the governmeut nor protection for the industries of the country. What kind ot statesmanship is that? "It took a hundred years for tbe Demo crats to find out that a protective tariff was unconstitutional. From Washington to Cleveland nearly every president had signeo tarill bills and the Supreme Court has pronounced them constitutional, but now the Democrats have just found it is unconstitutional. It takes them about that long to find out anything new. They were even a number of years behind the Southern Democrats, who incorporated free trade in the Confederate Constitution. The Southern Statos'great trinity of prin ciples were slavery, secession and free trade, The first two sleep the sleep that 1 knows uo waking and the other will join them as soon as the people prepare tbe ' sepulchre in which it is to be buried." Mr. Grow went on to discuss the tariff at some length He concluded his speech I with a severe arraignment of President Cleveland and Secretary Greoham for their un-American and unconstitutional action in tbe Hawaiian matter. He .aid their policy had beon fitly termed the "p' licy of infamy" and added ' tho American people ow* it to themselves to make this act s odious tli4i it will stand out alone in histo ry as tbe only, attempt that was ever ui»'te by a President to override the Constitution .u order tp tret up a Dfoaurtly, Great Fire at the World's Fair. The World's Fair Pompeii came last Monday night. A rushing volcano of flame, a huge Gothic architecture tumbling into chao* —bewildered mobs of people — all were there, under a great starry sky/'f Italian clearness, with Lake Michigan s broad expanse, a second Mediterranean. Probably no more magnificent yet terri fying spectacle has eyer been witnessed this -i.'e of the Atlantic It was long after dark when the belated people returning from work, to their borne# in the southern suburbs along the elevated railroad, famil iar to hundreds of thousands of World s fair visitors, noticed a constantly enlarging column of fire and smoke ascending sky ward in the east. "The World's fair is on fire" was the cry, and few, indeed, of the fascinated watchers from the train windows alighted until t e famous terminal at the exposition grounds was reached. Directly past the scene ot the frightful fire of the cold storage ware house. where scores of firemen lost the r lives during the lair, hundreds of specta tors hurried from the trains into the cele brated court of honor. There, suddenly, the conflagation came into lull view. Whirlwinds of blazing embers were being carried from the end of the court of honor furthest from the Administration building, high over the mammoth root of the liberal arts building, the largest structure on earth. The ereat golden statute ot the republic could be seen lilting her liberty cap defiantly aloft through the clouds of smoke and flame. The fire bad been burning less than an hour when a thunderous crash of falling timber and a tremendous shout from the crowd announced the collapse of the peri- style. A moment later another terrific yell from the crowd told that the liberal art building had canght fire and that the whole exposition was threatened. A dramatic incident marked the destruc tion of the peristyle. One of the ladders bearing up a gronp of firemen fell with the columns and one f the heroic fire figbter.- went down to death, while a number of others suffered injuries more or less re vere. The sky was livid, brilliant at this time with tailing sparks, many of which fell away to the north, showering the roof-- of the art palace, woman's building, and the various state structures with fire. Ever, train and street car added momenta, ily thousands to the througs of people,and but for the terrifying spectacle and the danger to life and property it snemod as if the greatest gala night of all at the orid s fair was on in all it's glory. The fire started in the casino just east of the agricultural building and south of the peristyle. The casino was quickly devour ed and the flames surged north on the top of tho peristyle and, dropping, made a sec ond line of tire along the base of tho col umns. The flames then sprang through the music hall which corresponds at the north end of the peristyle to the casino at tbe south. While the fire was bnruing there was one of the most singular and fascinating sights of the night. Along the top of the peristyle were scores of stat utes. The spectacle for those people for tunate enough to bo on the moving side walk just east of the peristylo was that of a succession of gigantic human beings plunging, one after another, headlong into the waters of the lake below. The origin of the fire is said to be re venge ou the part of a couple of tramps. The solitary guard in the music-hall says that just before the flames broke out he kicked two vagabonds out of the mnsie hall und told them to find quarters else where. They left in the direction of the casino, and soon after the fire broke out and everything on the grounds wan terror aud confusion. Fears of looting added to the horror of the scene. At about 10 o'clock, with a possible loss of about $1,000,000 by lire in the manufacturers building alone, the au thorities began to realize that a largo ele ment in tbe crowd was composed of idlers, who, once started in lawlessness it would be hard to control. Such preparations as could be hurridly made were set in motion to remove goods, and guard other build ings but all such efforts were the merest child's play. The utter hopelessness of such attempts on short notice was made apparent at once. Tbe few officers on guard could hardly do more than shut their eyes and grit their teeth, hoping against hopo that the flames would speedily be stayed. The spectators at this time, partly to guard their lives and prevent wholesale robbery of tho exhibits, had boeu largely driven by the police westward over the bridges from the lake, and lined up in a solid mass against the electricity building. Uero they oould sec giant bandfuls of the roof and great blazing fragments dropping down upon the exhibits below. Through the glass roof and buildings could bo seen the pieces falling liko boulders in aa ava lanche, crushing aud burning tbe exquisite French section, aud threatening to destroy the Russian and British sections. The fireboats and engines on tho lake side had by this time subdued tho flames in tbe ashes of tbe peristyle and iu the lower collonade of the southeast side of tho liberal arts building and hopes were raised that lhe fire had been subdued, tut shortly after 11:15 p ra , the flames got beyond control away up on the top promenade of the liberal arts building and the main aisle of the building was a mass of flames, aris ing from the blazing brands which came Irom above. Three days ago tLe number of packages awaiting shipment in each building was: Manufactures 11,9(34, Midway Plaisance 1,300, Fine Arts 740, Woman's 819, Ilorti culture 1,000, Transportation 600, Mining 1 050, Electricity 1,037, Agrioulture 1,800 aud 1,500 scattered in other buildings, making a total of 24.000 packags. Less than 14,000 packages had been shipped away prior to December 20 last. Most of tho goods remaining were foreign exhib its. Remorselessly the fire was burling itself through the iitersticos ol tbe big iron art-lies at the dizzy heights ab&ve. The flauiej wound, boa constrictor fashion, in and around the mammoth electric light coronas suspended I'iom tbe root'. Below these fearful circles ot iron likely to drop at any moment, no man dared to go, tvei' tbe hardiest not venturing within a hun dred leet. Frantic horses, with heavily loaded trucks, were plunging through tbe aisles, not encumbered with wreckage or drenched wish the falling cataracts ol wa t--r, most of wniob fell fur short ol tbe top most llames. Clouds of smoke and vapor that every moment 01 two shut out the view ol the lire in the roof were colored in the most fantastic fashion, running from green and violet to vivid scarlet. Just what caused the extraordinary views none seemed to huow. Guesses were that the dye-stuffs and chemicals in the exhibits drowned in were the origin.

Fighting Their Battles O'er. FARMIXGTON. Jan. 6, 1894. A war drama entitled. "From Sumpter to Appomattox," was given in the Acade my of Music, at this place last night The play very vividly portrays the stirring scenes of the war from '6l to '65. Its au thor deserves the highest encomiums. Each character was fairly well impersonated The "dutch-nigger" and the "English- Irish" woman alternated and commingled the various languages and dialects with a faculty wl-.ich was truly wouderful. The" several tableaux in the play were particularly striking a id awe inspiring The only drawback to them was the failure of the red fire to bum. Otherwise tbey were very fine. The most interesting feature connected with the play was the presentation, by the people of the community of a suit of clothes to the cultured and accomplished manager before the drama was undertaken The play was given for the benefit of lhe G.
