The Nation'* Birthday.
It was on July 2 that the Continental
Congress adopted the resolution offered by
Lee, ot Virginia, to the effect:—
"That these United colonies are, and,
of right, aught to be free and independ
ent States; that are absolved from all
allegiance to the British crown, and that
all political connection between them and
the State of Great Britain is and aught to
be totally dissolved."
On July 4 the Declaration was adopted
and from that time forth the United States
were independant of King George and all
his heirs and assigns forever. We washed
our hands of him, and it was a pretty hard
job, too, for George was not the kind of
man to yield gracefully. He thought we
could not do without him, but we have
managed to worry along, and now rank
among the great nations of the earth. The
American eagle has a right to scream. The
devolpment of this country has been no
•mall thing. It was not done in a corner.
From a mere handful of people stretched
along the Atlantic coast, only 3,929,214
in 1790, we hare grown to a nation of 65,-
000,000.
Our quarrel with England, as the wits
of the day had it, was as follows:
Rudely forced to drink tea, Massachusetts
in anger.
Spills the tea on John Bull; John falls on
to bang her.
Massachusetts, enraged calls her neigh
bor to her aid,
And gave Master John a severe basti
nade. . .
Now good men of the law, pray who is in
fault,
The one who began or resents the assault?
Every child to-day knows who was in
fault, and as the national celebration be
comes more and more, as the years roll
on, the great Summer festival, even in
their lightest amusements, child and sage,
young and old, exemplify the freedom
under which they live, secured by the
blood of the fathers. The dark days are
no more, and the days of lightness are our
own heritage, The thirteen States have
increased to fourty-four, and the American
has cause to glory in the Stars and Stripes
and what it represents. As Washington
■aid in his Farewell Address: "Citizens
by birth or choice of a common country,
that country has a right to concentrate
your affections. The name AMERICAN,
which belongs to you in your national
oapacity, must always exalt the just pride
of patriotism moie than any appellation de
rived from local desorimination s."
KAISER Wilhelm has good reason to feel
satisfied with the success that has attend
ed the inauguration of Germany's new
ship canal. Everything has passed off
without a hitch of any kind; from first to
last the festivities were tbe occasion of
cordality and good will.
Why Independence Day is Celebrated on
July Fourth.
Did you ever here how it happened we
celebrate July fourth rather than some
later day? For days the members of Con
gress had differed over the terms of the
Declaration. As the hot summer weeks
progressed, windows were opened, much
to the delight of the mosquitoes and Hies
of a neighboring stable. The stockinged
calves of congressional legs were assailed
daily by the diminutive combatants, until
at last the pflrnistenny "oust stub
born member was worn out on the fourth
day of July. Now that the struggle was
over the members became hilarious in
their good nature. John Hancock dashed
down his great signature in Bach shape
"that George the Third might read it
without his spectacles." "Now we must
hang together." it was remarked. "Yes,"
said Franklin, "or we shall hang separate
ly-"
THE full text of the new law providing
for the oompulsory education of children
will be found in our columns this week.
The act si of. special interest to School
Directors, Assessors and teachers, and it
will attract the attention of all intelligent
citizens.

JOCOSITY.
Political Notee.
A merry war is being waged for the
Chairmanship of the State Committee, and
control of the State Convention, which
meets in Harrisburg, Aug., 28th, 1895.
Senator Quay announced his candidacy
last.week; and the Magee-Martin combine
favor the re-election of Gilkeson.
The rules now provide that the perma
nent chairman of the convention and the
state candidates select the chairman of
the committee.
Quay was in Philadelphia last Friday,
and that evening announced his candidacy
over his signature as follows:—"I am a
candidate for Chairman of the Republican
State committee, and if I have any friends
in Pennsylvania I ask them to stand by
me at this time. I will mention the rea
son far this on the floor of the State con
vention." The oddest thing about this
formal declaration was the change made
in it. At first he asked his friends to stand
by him "in this crisis." Several hours
later this was changed to read "at this
time." There was no hiding the fact that
Quay was greatly chagrined by the power
ful gathering of city and State leaders at
Morrellton Inn that night, nearly all of
whom were his former supporters.
Monday night Gov. Hastings announced
his candidacy for permanent chainnan of
the state convention and that he was
for B&nk Commissioner Gilkeson for re
election as chairman of the state commit
tee. The governor also stated that he
would be a candidate for delegate to the
convention from Center County. The
govenor's declaration was made after he
and Attorney General McCormick had
called upon with Senator Quay.
The Beaver senator is confined to his
room at the Lochiel with a badly swollen
foot as a result of an accident last week
at Brigantiue while fishing. He was
under the care of a physician and has to
be carried about his apartments. He did
not leave his room all day.
Quite a number of citizens of this
county have received notes from Senator
Quay, type-written at the Hotel Metre
pole, Philadelphia, and reading as
follows.—"There may be a contest in the
State Convention to meet August 28, and
as I expect to attend as a delegate
from Beaver I trust the delegates from
your county will be friendly. For any
assistance yon may render in this direc.
tion I will be greatful. If yot are able to
attend, and I hope yon may be, I shall be
pleased to meet you there a day or two in
advance of the date named.
"M. S. QUAY."
On Tuesday nothing was done; Hastings
was busy in his office, and Quay entertain
ed his friends in bis room.
The names of tho Superior Court Judges
were not announced vest rday but it is
expected that they will be to-day.
Among the letters of regret read at the
Cleveland convention was one from John
Grant, chairman Texas state executive
committee:
' The regular Republican organization
of the Lone Star state sends greetings to
the Republicans of tbe nation, assembled
there, of all colors, without distinction.
We are for protecting America and Amer
icans; we are for maintaining a 100-cent
dollar, white, yellow or green; we are for
Republicans, whether white, yellow or
black; we ate for the Constitution and the
red, white and blue."
What a lot of candidates and prospective
candidates there are for State Senate.
Here's the list so for as heard from—W. H.
Hitter, J. M. Leighner, David B. Douth
ett, W. H. H. Riddle, A. G. Williams
J. D avid McJunkin, William Irvine and
W. C. Thompson.
After battling with the silver question
for two days at Cleveland, last week, the
Herniation Committee of the National
League called it a draw, and ignored the
issue. Newt. Black attended the conven
tion'as a delegate, and Roy Christley as a
visiting statesman.
Carlisle won a great victory at the Ken
tucky Democratic convention, Monday;
the Gold Standard men carried eight of
the eleven congressional districts.
The Clearfield Co., primary was held
Monday, and the delegates elected are for
GilkesoD; these of Franklin Co., elected
same day were said to be for Quay. Gov.
Hastings did not announce his appoint
ments for the Superior bench, as was ex
pected.
The Democrats of Bntler county, in
their recent convention, passed a reso
lution in which they arraigned the Re
p nblican party ot this State "for its leg
islation in favor of cor porations and
against the interest of the people." This
ia truly refreshing, coming as it does
trom a party that has but recently com
pleted gigantic back-door deals with
the Sugar Trust, and whose President,
after keeping a notorious corporation
lawyer in the office ot Attorney General,
has promoted him to the head of the
State Department, filling his place with
a lawyer who is counsel for half a doz
en railroads and other corporations.
The spectacle is that of a bleary old gam
bler, wilk packed cards stiking out of
his sleeves, leering across the table at
his apponent and scolding him for not
playing fair. — Franklin News.

we print this week simply provides that
every child between the years of 8 and 13
must go to school for four months ot each

LOWRT —At bis heme in Bctler,June, 24,
1895, Col. Alexander Lowry, in his 82d
yew.
The death of Col. Lowry, has removed
from our midst one ot the oldest and most
highly respected citizens of the place.
For over forty years he has been closely
identified with the business interests of
Butler and he has left behind him an ex
emplary record of business integrity.
During most of tins period he was con
nected with one of the most popular hotels
in Western Pennsylvania Thus the circle
of his acquaintance was widely extended,
and wherever known he had warmly at
tached friends. With a quiet undemon
strative nature, he combined a genial,
cordial, winning manner, that most favor
ably impressed those who knew him b6Bt.
He aimed to hold an ardent and sensi
tive temperament, under wise control.
Energetic and untiring, prudent and sa
gacious in business pursuits, he became a
successfnil business man. He was an ac
tive enterprising citizen, whose influence
was always exerted in favor of public im
provements. His judgement in business
matters was safe and reliable, aud waa
often consulted. His wonderful vitality
could not always be chained down to busi
ness pursuits, but at four score he retain
ed all the zest of enjoyment of youth,
in the pleasures of the road, the field or
the chase; and when the hand of disease
bore down heavily upon him, the same
vitality struggled bravely for the mastery
to the last.
Col. Lowry was a member of the Pres
byterian church, faithful in attendance on
its services and liberal in its support. He
iived to a good old age and is gathered to
his Fathers, and his bereaved family Lave
the sympathy of the whole comunity.
He was born in Blair Co., Feb. 18, 1814,
and moved to this county in 1850.

NEIGHBORHOOD MOTBS.
Official information has been received at
Pittsburg of the death of Frank G. Lent
who left the oitv on his bicycle, May 15
1882 for a trip around the world. He was
murdered by Kurds near Defer, about 50
miles East of Erieroum in Syria.
The barn-burning case tried in Kit
tanning last week fell through. The Press
says: "The interest in this case had been
added to owing to the fact that James
Stitt, one of the parties accused ot burn
ing the barn, had hung himself the week j
before, and many who believed hiin inno
oent, after this action, joined in with
popular prejudioe and were inclined to
believe him guilty. A Mrs. Stitt, a cousin
of his by manage, also dropped dead
when Constable McCallister went to sub
poena her to tppear at March court.
Thus the greatest interest was taken in
the case and we might say that it went to
trial with the prejudice of the community
against the defendants, we Bhould say
defendant, as James Stitt being dead,
Thos. Olinger was the only defendant in
the case. After hearing a host of wit
nesses the evidenoe produced was of such
a weak nature that when Judge Ray burn
stated he would instruct the jury not to
consider Neale's confession the counsel
for the brosecution agreed to let the jury
returned a verdict of not guilty and the
county pay the costs. This was agreed to
by the defense after prosecution agreed to
drop its suit for damages. Neale, the
self confessed criminal, who accused
Stitt and O'inger of burning the barn to
gether with himself, ,taad toll so many
different and conflicting stories that his
evidence could not be taken. While
Olinger has been acquitted the mystery
has not been solved.
At the Warren centennial celebration,
July 3 and 4, a village of 200 Cornplanter
Indians (the tribe which "fished, fit and
bled'' in that section before the whites
came upon the soene) will be on hand
and partisipate in the parade, eto.
Standing on their heads, in large, rough
boxes, packed behind immense tiers of
canned champion green peas and appri
cots, in the darkest aud most uninviting
section of the fifth floor of the Union
Storage companie's warehouse, on Liberty
St. iu Pittsburg, are two Egyptian mum
mies, sent by Andrew Carnegie, from the
laud of the Nile, for the proposed musium
in the Carnegie library at Schenley park.
They are supposed to be the remains of a
mighty king and queen who flourished
centuries ago, but no human eye has yet
penetrated wrappings that enshroud them.
A terrible accident was averted lately
at Wilkesbarra, this State, by the presence
of mind of an operator in the employ of
the Central railroad of N'ew Jersey. A
heavily loaded car broke lioae from its
fastenings and dashed down the mountain
side at the rate of a mile a minute. A
passenger train was about due, and the
operator realizing that a collision was
ineventable, ordered out a switch engine
to be run out to meet the runaway car.
The car was stopped, but the engine was
completely demolished.
A big Btorm passed over the Southern
part of the county yesterday afternoon
a nd is reported several rigs were, blown
down.
