The House had a stormy session last Thursday over the effort made by tbe Democratic leaders to unseat Joy of Mis souri and Hilborn of Calitornia. The scheme was so inquitious that the Demo cratic members withheld their votes and there was no quorum. Speaker Crisp came down on the floor and appealed for votes; Reed got back at Crisp and the other speakers, and Crisp went back to the Chair and made some outrageous n lings. President Cleveland sent his message vetoing the Bland seigniorago bill to Con gress, Thursday. He thinks an addition to the silver coinage would not be wise, that it would have a tendency to deplete the gold reserve, that the bill is somewhat obscure, and that a wider liberty in issuing bonds to maintain the gold reserve of a hui dred millions is necessary. Monday the debate on the Wilson tariff bill was opened in the Senate by Voor hees, whose speech was considered a very lame one Tuesday in the Senate Allison dissected the Wilson Bill. In the House the Demo_ crats unseated Joy of Missouri and seated O'Neill, but could not get a quorum to act on the California case. Os February l,at the port of New York, there were 1,608,077 pounds of wool cloths, valued at $1,250,029, and 7,822,829 square yards of wooled dresS goods worth $1,389,- 077, waiting for the Wilson bill to become a law so as to compete with the product of the American mills and reduce the value of American labor. Wallace Nominated. At the primaries in Lawrence county last Saturdry W. D. Wallace recived 33111 votes for President Judge of that district, Judge Hazen 2161 , and Col. Jackson 892 Win. Brecker was nominated for Sheriff The total vote on Judge is 6564, which is nearly 2000 more votes than tbe usual i Republican vote of the county. For Sheriff 6460 votes were polled. The Co. Committee enaorsed Hastings | for Governor and McDowell for Congress man-at-large. The striking Huns and Slavs of the coke | region indulged in riot and murder Wed nesday. Four men were killed, much property was destroyed. Coxey's Army. The army marched in the snow from Salem to Columbiana, 0., Thursday, were well received at the latter plaoe,and Brown made an anarchist speech. Tho army reached East Palestine, 0., i Friday afternoon, where thirty-two men joined' it, making the whole number 225. Saturday morning the anny 'eft East Palestine, and by 10 o'clock had crossed the state line and was in Pennsylvania. They camped that night in New Galilee, in Beaver Co. Sunday they inarched to a point just above Beaver Falls, where they established j Camp Valley Forge. Thousands ot people visited their Camp during tbe day. Plenty of food wag sent to them, and enough Dew recruits joined the army to make it number 300. Monday at 8 a.m. the camp at Valley Forge was broken, and the army tramped down the Beaver and ud tbe Ohio to Se wickly 300 strong and followed by a large number of sight seers It was well fed at Economy and camped that night at Se wickly At 4 P. M. of Tuesday the army reached Allegheny city, dusty, wear; and foot worn An immense crowd of people numbering perhaps 20,000, lined the st reets for miles, to see them. They camped in the old Exposition grounds and proposed staying there till Thursday morning Coxev and Brown addressed a large audi ence the common, that evening At Pittsburg, twenty-eight of the army were arrested as vagrants, and sent to the Workhouse; and twenty more were under arrest No parade was allowed by the police of Allegheny,but Coxey and Browne talEed to a crowd in Pittsburg. Thursday morning tho balance of the army parsed through tbe two cities and started towards Uniontoirn. The War in South Carolina* A pitched battle occurred at Darling ton S. C. last Friday night between the citizens and tbe State Constables which re sulted in the killing of four men and the wounding of a umnber of others. Tbe con stables had been there on the lookout for whisky. Several houses which were sus pected of containing liquor were sere bed. This aroused tbe enmity of the citizens and threats against the officers were treely made. That night the State Constables went to tho station to take tbe train for Florence. So great wa* th« indignation of tbe citizens that a large crowd had assem bled at the depot. Tbe officers were jeer ed and it was soon evident that serious trouble would result. The Constables grouped themselves along tbe platform and the excitement was at fever heat. Suddenly tho fight began in which near ly a hundred men took part Before the combatants could be separated four men had been killed and several others received serious wounds. Those killed were Constables Pepper and McLerdon and Citizens Normau and L. S. Redmond. T'ne coief of Polioe at Darlington imme diately telegraphed Governor Tillman of the serious nature of the triable, and 00l unibia and Maiming troops were immedi ately ordered out. A di.-'puicu wa* received at tho State Cap ital that, from Florence, in the same coun ty, stating that tho people there had seiz ed the rifles of the troops in tbe armory and that they were waning to attack the YrtJVS t&wy rvwU tiurt Silver and Gold. • The following extracts from President Cleveland's message vetoing the Bland bill are interesting. I believe that if the bill under consider ation should become a law it would be re garded as a retrogression from the finan cial intentions indicated by our recent re peal of the provision foreiDg silver bullion purchases, that it would weaken if it did not destroy returning faith and confidence in our sound financial tendencies, and that as a consequence our progress to renewed business health would be unfortunately checked and a return to our recent distres- sing plight seriously threatened ( This proposed legislation is so related to the currency conditions growing out of the law compelling the purchase of silver by the government, that a glance at such conditions and a partial review of the law referred to may not be unprofitable. • Between the 14th day of August 1890, when the law became operative, a. d the ' Ist day of November, 1893, when the clause it contained directing the purchase of silver was repealed, there were purchas ed by the Secretary of the Treasury more than 168,000,000 of ounces of silver bullion. In payment for this bullion the govern ment issued its treasury notes of various denominations, amounting to nearly flofo,- 000,000, which notes were immediately added to the currency in circulation among our people. , , , Such notes were by the law made legal tender in payment of all debts, public and private, except when otherwise expressly stipulated, and were made receivable for cusioms, taxes and all public dues, and when so received might be reissued. They were also permitted to be held by bankiug associations as a part of their lawful re serves. On the demand of the holders these Treasury notes were to be redeemed in gold or silver coin in tbe discretion ot the Secretary of the Treasury; but it was declared as a part of this redemption pro vision that it was"the established policy of the United States t* maintain the two metals on a parity with each other upon the present legal ratio as may be provided by law." The money coined from such bullion was to be standard silver dollars, and after directing tbe immediate coinage of a little less than 28,000,000 ounces, the law pro vided that as much of the reme'ning buHion should be thereafter coined as might be necessary to provide for the re demption of the Treasury notes issued on its purchase, and that"any gain or seign iorage arising from such coinage shall be accounted for and paid into the Treasury. This gain or seigniorage evidently indicates so much of the bullion owned by the gov ernment as should remain after using » sufficient amount to coin as many staud arp silver dollars as should equal in num ber the dollars represented by the Treas ury notes issued in payment of the entire quantity of bullion These treasury notes now outstanding and in circulation amount to $10~.9a1,-»u. and although there has been thus tar but a comparatively small amount of this bullion coined yet the so-called gain or seignior age, as above defied, which would arise from the coinage of tbe entire mass, has been easily ascertained to be a quantity__ot bullion sufficient to make when coined 00,- 156,681 standard silver dollars. Considering the present intrinsic relation : between gold and silver the maintenance ot , the parity between tbe two metals, as mentioned in this law, can mean nothing less then the maintenance of such a parity in the estimation and confidence of tho people who use our money in their daily i transactions. Manifestly the mainten ance of this parity cau only be accomplish -1 td, so far as it is affected by these Treasury I notes,and in the estimation of the holders r of tbe same, by giving to such holders, on r their redemption, the coin, whether it i» gold or silver, which they prefer. It fol lows that while in terms the law leaves the ! choice of coin to be paid on such redempt . ion to the discretion ot the Secretary of the , Taeasury, tbe exercise of this discretion, if opposed to the demands of the holder, is entirely inconsistent with the effective > and beneficial maintenance of the parity • between the two metals. If both gold and silver are to serve ns as ; money, and if they together are to supply ' to out people a stable ,currency, the ne cessity of preserving this parity is obvious, r Buch necessity has been repeatedly con ceded in the platforms of both political ' parties and in our Federal statutes. It is r nowhere more emphatically recognized than in the recent law which repealed the i provision under which the bullion now on Land was purchased. This law insists upon tho "maintenance of tbe parity in I value of the coins of the two metals and ' the equal power of every dollar at all times in the markets and in the payment of debts." Tbe Secretary of the Treasury ha*, therefore, for tbe best ot reasons, not only promptly complied with every de mand for tbe redemption of these Treasury notes in gold, but the present situation as well as the letter and spirit of the law appear plainly to justify, if they do not f enjoin upon him, a continuation of such i redemption. ~ We have now outstanding more than $338 000.000 in silver certificate* issued under existing laws. They are serving the purpose of money usefully and without question. Our gold reserve, ftniaunting to only as little more than SIOO,OOO OJO, is directly charged with the redemption of $346,000,000 of United States notes. W hen it is proposed to inflate our silver currency it is time for strengthening our gold reserve instead ot depleting it. 1 can not concieve of a longer step toward silver monometallism than wa take w hen we spend our gold to buy silvercirtiticatea for circulation, especially in view ot tne practical difficulties surrounding the replenishment ot our gold. This leads me to earnestly present the desirability of granting to the Secretary ol the Treasury a better power thau now exists to issue bonds to protect our gold reserve when for any reason it should be necessary. Our currency is now in such a confused condition and oar financial affairs are apt to assume at any time so critical a position that it seems to me such ' a course is dictated by ordinary prudence, i I aui not insensible to the arguments jn favor ot coining the bullion seigniorage now in tbe Treasury, and I believe It, could be done safely and with advantage if 1 tbe Secretary ot the Treasury had tbe power to issue bonds at a low rale ol iater [ est uniler authority in substitution of that now existing and better suited to the pro ' tectiou of the Treasury. I hope a way will prtsont itself in the near future for the adjustment ot our mon ' etary affairs in such a comprehensive and conservative manner as will accord to ! silver its proper place in ourcuireucy; but, , in the meantime, lam extremely solicitous that whatever action we take on this subject may be such as to prevent loss and discouragement to our people at home and tbe destructiou of confidence in our finan cial management abroad. WITH prime cattle worth less than $lO per head in Australia and meat upon the free list, it is quite possible that we may be an importer of colonial meat. The av erage value of cattle on American farms, January 1, 1893, was sl4.6een so well cared for as it should Lave >een, is freelj admitted. But, that very act, instead ot affording a reason lor its arther desecration, should stimulate onr >orough authorities to take immediate iteps lor its permanent preservation, such L movement would be cordially seconded jot only by the people of the town but of dl the surrounding conntiy, the larger >ortion of the interments in this burial ilace being from the country. At this very ime a fund has been collected and safely leposited, and considerable additional sub scriptions, at once available, have been se ;ured to handsomely enclose and ornament ;heße sacred grounds as a Memorial Park such action would seem to be more in har nony with the intention of the donors, and icith the enlightened spirit of this age,than :bat proposed by our School Directors. The plea of necessity is suggested for the proposed desecration. It has no foundation whatever. In a crowded city, where all >ttter property is already permanently ap propriated,, there might be a semblance of propriety in the suggestion But, even in >.uch ca>e, in our large cities ancient burial places are sacredly protected. At the head of Wall street in the city of New York —the business centre oftbis country — is a venerable grave yard untouched for over a contury by a desecrating hand. In the heart of the city of Philadelphia, the old grave yard containing the grave ot Benjamin Franklin, and his cotxmporaries. remains as sacred as it wai in the days ot the Revolution when it was conseorated; carefully cared for by the city authorities It can hardly be pretended tha', every available spot for a school house about Butler is so pre occupied that it is impos sible to secure, by purchase or even ( on demnation, sufficient ground for this pur pose, and that our educational necessities are such as to drive us to tho dire extrem ity of invading the graves of onr forefathers to find a home for a healthy education ot the children. It is a matter of regret that the thought ot cheapness of price should be put for ward as good reason for the proposed dese cration. The bare mention of such a reason snould be insulting to the intelligent mor ality of the School Board. The bones and dust of onr ancestors cheaper than other ground! But, if the thought could be tol erated, tho Directors would find that even from a money point of view, this property would prove to be the dearest spot they could find in Butler. Tne piece of clan destine legislation under wliich they would operate, requires large expenses for dis-interment and re-intermeut, tor the purchase of a new cemetery, for the pur chase and setting up of head stones, etc. But all this is but the beginning of the cost. There are reversioners still living t<> assert and maintain theii claim in the right and title to the property, so, that af ter all the expense, first referred to, has been incurred, the property would be like any other town property on the market, anil the question to be determined would be: what are these valuable lots on tbe comer of McKean and North streets icorth —one of the handsomest squares in Butler —and the prico will have to be paid the mmx as if there never had been a irraw yart there. These lots "will come hirjli." It would look as if the School Hoard had uot counted all the costs, it they have dar ed to meditate on the cheapness of the speculation. But, were there no other reason for the intrusion upon the homes of our dead an cestors, the impossibility of dis-intering all the dead tuned in this old grave yard should be conclusive against the project. There are about 120 marked graves. There have been no burials there for over forty years. Only (lust could be gathered from these graves. But there is a much larger number of wholly unmarked graves. Whole families are buried there; the location of whose graves, cannot be designated. There lies the remains of John Cunning ham, one of the lounders of Butler, and there they have slumbered for nearly nine ty years. Xo person in Butler can desig nate the spot where they are buried, but they are there. What is to be done with them? There lie the remains of a venera bio Revolutionary soldier tbe ancestral head of the MoKee family, still worthily represented in our midst He served his country bravely and iaithfully, and after fighting his last battle, laid down iu Butler to rest, for how long, gentlemen of the School BoardT In that old grave yard lie the remains of tho first Christian Miuis ter who ever preached in Butler county, buried there over seventy years ago, and by his side his wife and two sons. There is the grave of tbe wife ot the Hon Walter Lowrie, one of Butler county's most highly honored sons, who reached the exalted po sition of a seat in tho Senate of the Uuitud biates. His wife, an eminent christian la ay, has been buried there for 01 years, and by her side her little son. There one of the earliest Methodist ministers has a grave to be cared for by those who have followed him in tbe ministry in Butler, and there it has been undisturbed for two thirds of a century. Those venerable, pioneer settlers of Butler county, —the father and mother of Hon. John Bretiin and grand parents of Hon. James Bredin sleep in that old grave yard. A few years t-iuce an attempt was made with loving hands to dis-inter the remains of these loved ones. But it was found to be iropos. sible, and so it would be, with regard to several hundred others. Tbcu is scarcely an old family in our surrounding neighborhood that is not rep resented there, Thsre )>« the Pierces, Cocbrans, McKissicks.
