THE meeting of the Lincoln League
Monday evening was a well attended one
Remarks were mad# by Messrs. McCollongh.
McElhaney, Black, Brymer and others.
An amendment to tbe Constitution look
ing towards tbe organization of branch
leagues all over the county was proposed,
and a committee was appointed to act up
on it. The League now number* some
three hundred members, meets every sec
ond Monday evening, and the meetings
art always numerously attended and very
enthusiastic and enjoyable, besides being
instructive to the yonager members.
The Political Revolution.
There has been no such political revolu
tion within a generation aa tbat of tbe past
year. We have bad action and reaction
before, bnt no such cyolonic change as
this. Eleven months of unchecked Cleve
landism and Democracy have produced the
greatest revolution oi our time.
Tnis, too, with only scattered and frag
mentary elections. If there could have
been a general national contest, massing
the expression of the whole country, the
effect would have been incalculably deep
ened. As it is, the sweep is more signifi
cant than anything the present generation
of voters has ever seen.
Go back to November. Massachasetts,
which bad elected a Democratic governor
year after year, surged with tbe Republi
can flood tide of 36,000. It bas never giv
en socb a Republican majority but once
£nee tbe one-sided Grant-Greely contest of
1872. Leaving Maynard out of tbe ques
tion and looking only at the straight polit
ical issue, New York elected the Republi
can Secretary of State by 25,000. New
Jersey, moss-grown in its Democracy, as
tonished italf with a Republican Legisla
ture by a majority running through tbe
State of 24,000.
Ohio swept in McKinley by 80,000—far
away tbe biggest figures since tbe war.
Cbioago wiped out a Democratic lead of 25-
000. Wayward Kansas broke its false
idols and returned to its old time Republi
canism Acd now, three months later,
with Democracy made still plainer through
the Wilson bill, tb<» very centre of Tam
manv-bound Ner York elects a Republi
can congressman, and Pennsylvania buries
Clevelandism under an avalanche of 185,-
000.
This i« not merely reaction—it is pretty
nearly annihilation. It is not simply Re
publican revival—it is Democratic dissolu
tion. It Beans that, if there were a Presi
dential election to-day, Cleveland would in
the North and West be entombed under a
landslide of nearly a million. It means
that if there were a general Congressional
•lection to-day the Democrats wonld
•carcely choose forty representatives north
of Mason and Dixon's line.
In a word, it is a volcanic upheaval; it
i* political reconstruction; it is hot wrath
against general disaster already suffered;
it is flaming protest against impending
and continued calamity; it is revolutionary
and deep seated disgust with Democratic
incapacity and imbecility. Have the
wreckers at Washington sense enongh left
to heed ill—Press.
Washington Notes.
On Thursday the House was a « en<» of
turmoil; Bland could not secure a quorum
to coniider bis bill; the Sergeant at-Aruis
was sent out with warrants tor the arrest
of several member*.
On Friday a new start was taken and
Mr. Bland in his effort to close debate on
his inflation bill at. 5 o'clock next d y found
himself two short of a quorum. Tho
Honse seemed to think that it had done
enough work for one day by undoing the
wretched work of the day before, so a re
cess was taken until 8 o'clock, when the
regular Friday night session for considers
tion of bills on the private calendar was
held.
In comparison with Thursday the scenes
of Friday were mild as a midsummer
breeze. Mr. Kerr, Clerk of the House,
called that body to order and read a com
munication from Speaker Crisp, who is ill
with a sore throat,appointing Mr. Richard
son of Tennessee, as Speaker pro tem.
This appointment *as a guarantee that
the turbulent scenes of Thursday were
not to be repeated. Mr. Richardson made
a very good recard while chairman of the
Committee of the Whole on the tarifl' bill,
and was able to keep bis Democrat col
leagues under control, a task in Ahi oh Mr
Dockery failed miserably.
While the proceedings were compara
tively quiet tboy w ere uot devoid of tiensa
tional features Mr. Bland mule one of
the most extraordinary speeches ever heard
on the floor of the honse. It was a terri
ble arraignment ol his own party for their
incompetency and what hf declared to be
their neglect of duty. He compared those
who on Thursday rebelled against the un
just arrest of the Sergeant-nt-Arms to An
archists and revolutionists, and declared
that the man who would throw a bomb
from a gallery wa* no more an Anaichist
than a member who refused to obey A TIIIP
of the House. Everybody knew that be
referred to Representative Cununiugs and
General Sickles, the two Democrats who
were especially violent in their opposition
to the serving of warrants on them by the
Sergeant at-Arm*
On Saturday, Bland was again nnablo to j
seeure a quorum.
In the Senate, Monday, Goiman and |
Hill and other Senators culled a halt on I
Voorhees and his c-mniittee, who have !
been working on *.hM tarill' l>ill by inform
ing that the whole bill would be overhaul
ed in (caucus. Brice told the xoutheru
brigadiers that the passage of the bill ax
it now leada, would mean 100,0t)0 Republi

Bland again tried to nerore a quorum to
pax* tils bill, but t'*il«>l, h.ul h-j made
another frantic speech.
On Holiday Bland wax attain unable to

they sgried to rebate without limit. Sev

To the Republican Electors of Penn'a.
I am directed by the Republican State
Committee to announce that the Repnbli
cans of Pennsylvania, by their duly chosen
representatives, will meet in State Conven
tion at Harrisbnrg, Pa., on Wednesday,
May 23d, at 11 o'clock a.m.. for the follow
ing" purposes. to-wit—
For the nomination of candidates respec
tively for Governor, Lieutenant-Governor,
two Member* of Congress from the State at
Large, Auditor-General, Secretary of Inter
nal Affairs, and for the transaction of such
other business as may be presented.
Attention is called to the rule adoped at
the State Convention of 1893 providing f»r
the the basis of representation, as follows:
"Representation in future State Conven
tions shall be based upon the vote cast at
the Presidential or Gubernatorial election
immediately preceding,one Delegate being
allotted to each Legislative District for
every 2000 Republican votes and an addi
tional Delegate lor a fraction exceeding
1000 votes, each District to have at least
one Delegate,
By order of the Republican State Com
mittee.
B. F. GILKESON, Chairman.
Attest: JERK B. REX,
A. D FETTEROL>, Sec'ya.
THERE is not a good showing for the
passage of the Wilson tariff bill. A want
of harmony among the Democrats is devel
oping in the Senate. Several of them will
not vote tor it unless important changes
are made on certain articles affecting the
interests of their constituents. Many are
opposed to the income tax rider, but if
that is lopped off the Populists and the
silver men will vote against the bill on its
final passage. Senator Hill's position is
plain. He favors protection to the extent
of a duty on all imported articles to
the difference in the labor cost of produc
tion between this and tbe foreign country.
Hard Times and Revivals-
How strange and yet how natural it is
that hard times and religious revivals
shonld come and go together. This winter
the conditions exist that, we are told, have
always been followed by aa awakening in
terest in tie life to come. An exchange
state* that for a half a 'century, at least,
such conditions have always been followed
in this country by a wave *>f revivalism
sweeping over the land from one coast to
the other. Such was the case in 1857, and
again in 1873, and such is tbe case now;
for in Brooklvn 40 churches are open for
daily meetings, Chicago and Montreal are
in tbe midst ofa great religious excitement.
two or three southern cities are under the
spell of the evangelist, Washington; D. C.,
is planning for M< ody and Saukey. a.id
crowded meetings are being held in many
other cities and towns In some places
business Is suspended the whole or part of
two or three days each week in order tbat
everybody may go to tbe meetings,and tbe
churches and halls wherein they are held
are not large enough to hold tbe multi
tudes tbat press for admittance.
This relation between hard times and
revivals is so close that it is safe to meas
ure in advance the proable intensity and
extent of the revival by the preesare of the
times. This has been the hardest winter
for a generation, and accordingly it may
be predicted that the ptesent revival will
be correspondingly general and extended
Th« reason for this is the helplessness aDd
need wbich such times compel iP human
hearts. It seems to be the case that ipep
and women too generally put off seeking
tbe salvation of their souls, or food for
their spitnal natures, so long as their bod
ies are comfortably clad and sheltered and
fed and tbe cartfly consolations, wbich
are ordinarily sufficient for their oonsc:oas
nee's, remain to them. When "earthly
comforts fail/'as the hymn has it, men
and women seek heavenly comforts, and
only when they have exhausted their re-
Boorces and human help promises them
nothing, do they seek divine aid. Here is
revealed tbe limitations of the ordinary
life. It almost looks as though to too large
an extent it were not religion jtsell or
••salvation" in the technical revivalistie
sense, that many of the people who crowd
these hard-times revival meetings are af
ter, but some compensation for their losses
or substitute for the c< oiforts they have
been denied. When times are good and
tbey are fairly prosperous, tbey do not
crowd tho churches or concern themselves
with their spiritual condition Give them
the comforts and tbey will seemingly be
able to get along without thfl religion.
Take away tbe com torts and rcr.gias
presses bome upon Ibem. If they cannot
know the joy ot possession here, it is
something to be told and to believe that
they are to know it hereafter. Treasures
on earth are not theirs, but they are prom
ised treasures in heaven, wbich too often
-»it is to be feared —take on a sadly mate
rial form in the anticipations of those who
accept the promise as for them.
AT a recent prlyer meeticg iu New Jer
sey a Democratic brother prayed that Hod
would cau»e the Democratic party to bung
together, whereupon a Republican present
shooted, "amen, amen." Thisledthe Dem
ocratic Brother to make the following
amendation in his prayer; "Not, 0 Lord,
in the sense onr Republican brother means
but in the spirit of accord and oooeortl.''
"Any cord will do, Lord; any cord will do."
interjected the Republican. The pastor
immediately made a rule that hereafter
politics should be kept out of the prayer
meeting.

The Dedication.
The handsome struoture sitnate on the
corner of Jefferson and McKean streets,
erected by the United Pre.-byterian? of this
place, was dedicated with appropriate
e jremonies on Thursday last.
The building, which is of atone, is the
most appropriate structure for it? purposes |
in the count., and is spoken of as one of
the model churches of the state. Work
wi4 began on it in mid-summer o
1891, and it was completed in part in the
fall of that year, services being held in one
of the rooms an December. The order of
architecture is Roman and the aspect of
the building is of simple, unassuming
strength. A tower and handsome entrance
on Jefferson street gives the relief needed
from its severe facade, and serve to mark
the purpose of the structure.
The dedicatory services were held in the
morning and the oharch was crowded when
Rev. J. W. Witherspoon made the opening
prayer. Rev. Ferguson and Dr. Thomas
Balph assisted in the preliminary services'
after which Rev. R. G. Ferguson delivered
the dedicatory sermon, taking for his text
Joshua iv: 21, "What mean stones."
Among other things, he said:
'•That there is a God in all history, we
who believe in providence are well assured,
but often we are constiaint to say, when
we look on apparent confusion of events,
•Yerilj thou art a God that bidest thyself.'
Bat the divine element in the history of
Israel is always manifet. Joshua laid a
commaad that when they should
ask 'Wijat mean these sioiiest' they should
tell of the wonderful pa-sage over the Red
Sea. where the stones had been gathered
froir the bottom of the sea by cho-en men
from ':ach of the twelve tribes That rude
pile near the Jordon had a meaning, but it
needed the traoitioLs of the 'Hthers to keep
it in the minds of the generatiou* follow
ing. This fine product of human skill,
this psalm in stoue. lias a voice '»t its own.
Yi'Ur.cLilort-n w.ll scarcely neeu au inter
preter "f your meai-iug in erecting this
house of worship. It may be profitable for
your own work: i' may not be amis for ns
to interpret it for you, "What mean these
atonesT' This house ..f worship pays trib
ute to the pa.-t; it means you are proud of
your worthy ancestry aail grateful to bod
for the 6ame."
The first United Presbuterian services
held in Butler were pre>ided over by Rev.
Joseph Kerr on the Sabbath of August,
1804.
Rev. Isaiah Niblock was the pastor of
the Church from 1819 to 1864, a period of
45 years.
The lot on wbich the Church stands was
purchased froin Robert Campbell in 1824.
for SSO. and on it the original church,
enlarged as the years went by and the
congregation grew, was built.
At a meeting of the congregation held in
April of 1891, it was resoived to build a
new church, and J. L. Purvis, C. G. Chris
tie and J. T. Armstrong were appinted a
building committee. More ground was
purchased and plans for a church, es
timated cost of which was $20,275, were
made.
A building fund of $16,152 was subscrib
ed and collected, the old church was torn
down in July of 1891. and the stone work
of the new churcti was tiuistied by the mid
dle of the following December.

That Creek Road.
ED CITIZEN: —1 noticed an article in the
Eayte concerning the Creek Road, which
teems to be the topic of the day. As the
writer appeals to all fair-minded people,
hoping 1 may be included in this ciass,
and having some idea of tbie road bj mak
ing a careful examination of the site. I
consider it a good one It is also a verv
necessary road, which, when completed,
will be the main road to Renfrew, it being
the only shipping point in the township.
The first exfcure is the hard times, this
will be fine fun for the citizens of surround
ing townships, to think the citizens of
Penn are in such restricted circumstances
that they cannot afTord to make one mile
anil a half more road to accommodate
about one-tblrd of the tax payerj Ttie
writer has guested the length exactly, bnt
has made wild calculations as to the cost.
11 is ideas are excusable, lor he says ho is
onh guesfirg at it, wbich is trae for he
has not viewed tb,e site, and yet, if the
cost had been as accurate as cbe length
the ciiizens of Penn township would have
a much fairer representation of what is be
fore them
At hit* hgur>!S this road would be a very
expensive oue, amounting to over five
dollar* a rod and requiring a multitude of
employee*. One hundred men and five
team* lor fifteen days would bo one thou.-
and live hundred inen and seventy-live
team* for one day. Nov, fellow citizen*,
just imagine flftean hundred men and
aeveMty-nve teams on one mile and a half
of 10.id, which will allow one mu for
even live feet and a team lor every six
and i iur-tenths rods-, yuite * conglomer
ation indeed. I agree they would make a
yery poor road, for they would not have
rooty to x -rk;
Any enterprising loan nn wt;ke this
road for one thousand dollars., 3U tnun
and a team for fifty days is sufficient to
make it. The cost of this labor would
amount to six hundred and fifty dollars
grid the balance would be an ample sur
plus for bridges, »<*oopß, drills, powder and
tools ar.d some left for the legal basics#

A hen and a lantern proved a bad com
bination a few night- ago for T. J.Gleason,
a farmer living near Springboro, Crawford
county. He went into his barn with a
lantern and set it down on a beam in the

which fell to the floor below, exploded
and set the barn on fire. Mr. Gleason was
able to get out his stock and some of the
contents, but lost the barn.

the sail came up for hearing he discovered
that his money was deposited in the Mer
