THE CITIZEN Eat«r*4 m« PoaUßec at B.tUr u 24 tlaMsattor ■u.1.111 C. mui, rmklUk»r THURSDAY. AUGUST 1.1»5. REPUBLICAN COUNTY TICKET. FOR DISTRICT ATTORNEY. A. M. CHRISTLEY. FOR Coorrv SURVEYOR. FRANK E. McQUISTION. The Eiaential Iwue. Mr. Quay'* pemitect opposition to the paasage of the apportionment bill* in the Legislature convinced GOT. Hastings that be could not manage hi* administration successfully if he did not throw off the Quay yoke and appeal to the party for fair play. If he had tamely surrendered, he would haye been compelled to serve out hie whole term under the tutelage and direction of Mr. Quay. The primary and essential issue before the party in the election of a chairman of the State committee is whether its organi zation shall be manipulated by one man in accordance with the well-known methods of the Cameron-Quay dynasty, or whether there ah all be something like equal participation in it* management by Republicans who have enough ability and character to be something more than mere dependants or servitors. This is by no means a new iscue. It is an old, but oft suppressed one. This, however, is the first time when It has been clearly set before the party. If Gov- Hastings were the original aggressor, as the Quay ad herents are so studious in trying to show, that fact will not leesen popular respect for him or weaken his cause. In the sight of the Quay organs it seems to be a high crime and misdemeanor; but in the sight of the plain people it is a refreshing evidence of the right kind of independ ence within the lines of the party. The guooess of the Hastings movement will mean that the Governor shall enjoy the privilege of managing his high office with his responsibility not to Mr. Quay, but to the people, and that is what the State administration has primarily sought for in its advocacy of the re-election of Chairman Gilkeson. The popular favor which has attended the Governor's efforts to free himself and his administration from dictation has been largely strengthened by the general desire in the party to rid itself of further respons ibility for J. Donald Cameron's misrepre sentation of the State in the Senate. The defeat of Quay for chairman of the Btate committee is essential to the defeat of Cameron for another term in the Senate. That phase of hhe campaign is clearly understood by every intelligent Republi can in the State. "Without Quay's aid, Cameron will be practically helpless; with it the same old battle would need to be fought in the next Legi Mature against the entrenched maohine, and the will of the people would in all likelihood again be cheated.— PhUa. BulUtin. CURIOSITY has • more or less prominent part in the make up of every man, and many a fakir and sharper has used tbis trait in the average human as a means to grow rich. Out in Canton, Ohio, acoord ing to exchangee, an enterprising individ ual is perfecting a plan whereby the oarioeity to see a real collision between two railroad trains may b« gratified by all who are willing to pnt np the necessary coin of the realm. A railroad three miles long has been built, on each end of whioh a locomotive hitched to four flat oars load ed with stone will be placed. On a cer tain day the locomotives will be fired up, and when a full head of steam is gathered, engineers will pull the throttles wide open, jump from the cab and Jet them go toward each other and meet in collision. A rath er expensive sport, as looomotives oost a goodly sum, and would in all probability be totally wrecked, but the originator ex pects to make money out of the admission fees. Two WiM Old Saws. It is wise to estimate the future by the experiences of the put. A man is judged by the company he keeps. Applying these proverbs to Mr. Quay and his efforts for his own advancement and to secure power in the Republican party, we conolode: I—That Mr. Quay is looking ahead for fature business in the line of politics, for himself, for his associate, Mr. Cameron, for the control of the Republican party, for the distribution of patronage in his own interest; 2—That Mr. Quay means to attain these end* by and through Republican agencies ifheoan, but by Democratic help if he must; 3—That Mr. Quay is friendly with the Democrats and that their friendship with him means satisfactory advantages to them if he shall be sncoessful. How any intelligent oitisen, cjnversant with political affairs and events, can reach any other oonolnsions is inexplicable. Quay has been engaged in politics as a business for years. He has helped Cam eron. Both of them want to dominate the Republican party in their own and mntual interests. Both want to distribute pa tronage for the aid there is in it to their machine organization. Quay means, Cameron and Quay's success will stand for both himself and Cameron to oontrol the Republican party if he can; but he is not above resorting to Demo cratic help if he needs it—note the reoent Apportionment defeat by the help of Dem oratic votes. And the Democrats do not help for nothing, nor for statesmanship nor patriotic reasons.— Doylestown Intelligen cer, Ilep. Dodging vs. Answering. Philadelphia Press. Senator Quay and Col. Gilkeson were both asked whether they we r e lor or against Mr. Cameron's re-election as Sena tor. Here are their responses. QUAY DODOES. GILKESON ANSWERS. I am a personal friend of Senator Inasmuch as the Cameron, and our Hon. J. D. Cameron official relations are is in favor of the most agreeable. He free coinage of silver, has never intimated and believing that to me his desire for such a national poli re-electicn, and it cy would be disas would certainly be trous to the great ag ontof place for me ricultural, manufac to declare either for turing and comrner or against my col- cial interests of Penn leegue in the ab-<ylvania, I cannot ■•nee of his pro- favor Mr. Cameron as nonnced candidacy, a candidate for tte which can in no Presidency, nor as a wise be affected by Senator from Penn the pending contro- sylvania to succeed versy. , himself.

The amount of food that will bring the faculties of one person into healthful activity will deaden those of an other; and the stimulating nourishment that in healthful for one ie poisonous to an other. Krery one owe* it to himselt to ■tudy the matter intelligently, with what ever helps be can obtain, and to say to ap petite, "Thus far shalt thoa go, and no farther." An Indian Outbreak. The Indians of the north-western part of "Wyoming, just south of Yellowstone Park, are somewhat on the war-path, but the re ported massacre of the inhabitants of Jackson's Hole turned out to be a fake. An exchange says that "the disoontent and present hostile attitude of the Ban nock Indians are due to an attempt of the Wyoming authorities to overrule by vir tue of an act of their Legislature a treaty of the United States. Wyoming has its game laws and attempts to apply those laws to the Indians, who have a contract with the National Government by which they are allowed to hunt on the unoccu pied lands of the United States in consid eration ef making their permanent home in a Government reservation. They have performed their part of the contract, bat when they propose to exercise the privi lege of hunting guaranteed them by the United States Government they are ar rested and fined for violating the game laws of Wyoming. Not content with this some of the white frontier raffians fired into the band of Indians, killed a number oi them and so incensed the whole tribe that it is now on the warpath. The scene of the disturbance is directly south of Yellowstone Park. It is a splen did game country, and it has been pro posed to inclide it within the park. There is a propriety in this proposition consider ing the national park as a game preserve and not simply as the scene of great natur al curiosities. The Bannock Indians at present have a right to hunt there. No law of Wyoming can contravene a treaty of the United States, even though that treaty is made with a comparatively in* signifioant band of Indians. The latter know nothing of the Wyoming game laws. They only know tbat being on a peaceful expedition and within their treaty rights they were arrested, fined and some of their number killed. No wonder these Indians are gathering together in foroe and that the law-abiding white settlers ol that region are alarmed. The latter unfortu nately are usually the victims ol these In dian outbrsak* provoked by the frontier ruffians, whose brutalities have caused oountless Indian wars, in which muoh better people were cruelly punished by the indiscriminating red men." ATTORSBT-GB!«EEAI. McCormick lately sent MI opinion to the Department of Pub lic inßtrnction, which practically impend* work under the Compulsory Education law until next year. The fourth section of the act requires Assessors to make a regis tration, at the spring assessment or direct ly thereafter, of all children in their re spective districts between eight and thir teen years of age, so that the county Com missioners can certify the names to the secretaries of the several districts. As the act was not approved until May 23rd, after the spring assessment had been com pleted in all the counties, the Attorney- General decides that the section must re fer to the assessment in the spring of 1896, and he has so instructed the Department of Public instruction. This decision will save the expense of a special registration this year—a work that had already been entered upon in some of the counties. A MOHUMXST will be erected to mark the spot where General Washington with his army crossed the Delaware December 25, 1776, to attaok the British at Trenton. The Bucks oounty historical society, of this State, took the matter in charge and appointed a committee consisting of John g. Williams, Thomas C. Knoles, Robert Eastburn and Henry C. Mercer. Tbey v met and aocepted from Mrs. Twinning, of Stockton, N. J., a stone weighing two tons, from which the monument will be cut. The form of the monument will be that of an obelisk, eight feet high, with base, the whole resting on a foundation laid in cement, rough-dressed on three sides, the fourth chisel-dressed and bear ing a suitable inscription. Performed A Great Work. The death of Dr. A. W. Crawford, at Emlenton, on July 14th, removed not only a genial and highly respected citiseu of the oil regions,but a man who, in bis time played a most important part in the bis tory of petroleum. While United States oonsul at Belgium 30 years ago, he suc ceeded in bringing the attention of the European world to the merits of the new American illuminant, and established it as a permanent artiole of export. The work of Dr. Crawford in tbis respect was of the greatest importance, and the mark et that he nelped to oreate has grown to enormous proportions. These were two fortuitous circumstances connected with the early history of petrol eum developments that have reoeived lit tle attention from the chroicler of the events relating to the beginn ng of the oil industry. First was the fact that Colonel Drake ohanced upon the shallowest spot in the oil regions where petroleum might have been found, when he located the first well, and second, when the time came for the introduction of the light a progressive, citizen of the oil ocantry, represented the United States at Antwerp, and was able to exert his influence in quelling European prejudices against the new American light and assist the export ers in establishing a market for it, making it one of the staple artioles of export of the new world to the old. These two circumstances had much to do with the building up of the great Amer ican industry. Had Drake chanced upon a dry hole, bad some other man than Dr. Crawford been United States oousnl at Antwerp the development of the industry might have proceeded ju»t the same, hat it would have been postponed probably for many years, and the whole history of oildom might yet have remained unwrit ten. Dr. Crawford modestly disclaimed any credit to himself for the important part be preformed in introducing the new pro duct to a foreign land, but the fact re mains that he was at the right spot, at the right time to do the right thing and tbat he was the right man for the doing of it. Antwerp became the leading port of con tinental Europe for the petroleun trade, and Antwerp quotations on refined oil ruled the business oentres of the old world from London to Bombay, and from Pekin to Yeddo.—Oil City Derrick. A Cypher That Didn't Work. The story is told of a prominent oil producer of Pittsburg, who was putting down a wild-cat well a few years ago. He was naturally anxious to keep the re sult a profound secret, so tbat, if be made a strike, be might secure some leases in the vicinity before the news got out. He was on the ground all the time, but two days before the well came in was called home. He arranged with his oontractar to telegraph him as soon as the diill reached the sand. He knew, however, that secrets will sometimes leak out of a telegraph office, and so he told the drill er that the sentence, "Pine trees grow tall'would mean that he had struok oil. The driller promised to do as he was ordered The mingled satisfaction and vexation of tbe producer may be imagined wben two days later he received the following telegram: "Pine trees grow tall, she's squirting clean over tbe derriok." His hope tbat he shiuld have no com petitors for leases was disappointed. Lutheran» at IdleictM.

The survivors of the Sixty-third, One Hundred and first and One Hundred and Third Regiments, Pennsylvania Volun teers. held a delightful and memorable re union at Clarion, Tuesday. They were royally entertained at the hotelß of the town at the expence ot the citisens. The public buildings, business houses and residences were gaily and profusely decorated with flags and bunting. About 500 survivors of the regiments namad went there and between two aud three hundred other old soldiers As a special trair. having on board just one hundred of the veterans was nearing the depot at 2 p. m., a salute of 31 rounds was fired from the town cannon, the gilt of the late General Greenland. In the parade that afternoon, Mrs, Agnes M. Hays, a daughter of General Ale* Hays, the first colonel of the Sixty third. marched with the veterans of that regiment. At the park Burgess Ross, on behalt of the citizens, spoke cordial words of wel coma, after which the veterans were as signed to their quarters at the different hotels. There was an enthusiastic oamp fire in Normal Hall that night. The bmithsand Harper. John B. Brown made a highly interest ing capture Wednesday evening in She nango township. The information on which tbe arrest was made was lodged with Alderman Bowman Wednesday evening, and was made by G. C. Harper, the well known South Mill street butcher. The information makes the charge of adultry against Thus. 11. Harper a brother of the prosecutor. Another information was also lodged against Mrs. Eva .Smith, of Sbenango township making the same charge, and by 10 o'clock Detective Brown bad gathered them in and had tbem on their way to the county jail. The story cf the informant runs as follows: Tom Harper lived near Uillers town, Bntler county, with his wife and six children until a year or more Bince. Mr. anu Mrs. Smith also lived there. Last summer, the Smiths went to Ohio and Thomas Uarper it is claimed went there with them. They all lived there together for about 8 months when they came to this county and took up their residence in Shaango township Harper secured work at the tin plate works. It is thought he was employed on the construction of the new buildings. Meanwhile Harper's wife and six children lived at Millerstown, Butler county, and are said to have been in a starving condition. Finally Harper's brother took pity on the wife and children and made these in lormations. The warrants were given to John B. Brown, and he started out about 8 o'clock to bring in the parties Going to the house where the Smiths and Uarper live, he found Mrs. Smith near the bouse and did not make her acquainted with his mission just at the first t>y any means. He felt snre Harper was nearby and he wan'ed both of tbem. Asking Mrs. Smith if Harper wan there, she answered: "Yes, did you want to see himT" Mr. Brown re sponded: "Yes I want to see him about a little matter. I wanted to see him about why he is not sending more money over to his wife-" Mrs. Smith stated that if tbat Wi>s all it would be all right, and that they were very much afraid of a police man coming. Suspicion being thus al layed, Harper, who was lying iu some weeds at a short distance from the house, jumped to bis feet and came towards Mr. Brown. When he came up close enough the detective said to both of them, "I want you both. Come along wfth me." They both I'ime, and were committed to jail to await a hearing Monday morning next at 9 o'clock. The log house in which they lived was near Sheep Hill. The woman had a razor in one of her stockings, and when arrested, gave it to her husband. She appeared to have great solicitude for Unrper. and said: "I would do anything to save Tom from going to prison."—Sew Can He iiitardian CflICA«»o.

Something the opera house was sadly in need of. Elmer Helmbold is training for another road race, and hopes this time to land a winner. Mrs. Helmbold, Clarence and Jimmie, arrived home last Friday, after a weeks sojourn at Evans City. Some people seem to delight in holding political offices and do not heed the law in regard to offices that are incompatible. The case of the Post-master at Saxonburg is one which should be looked into as in addition to being Postmaster, he is secre tary of the School Board and Town Clerk. These latter offices are paying ones, and according to the constitution of the state of Pennsylvania cannot be held by any Serson holding an office under the U. S. >overnment. The postmaster's attention has been called to this law, but he persists in hanging on. The attention ot the school directors and town council has also been called to this matter, but it seems they either don't care or for some reason or other do not demand a resignation. If the postmaster will not resign it is the duty of both the town council and school board to oußt him. The very few hats, libbons and other millinery goods left over lrom spring stock at McKee's, will be sold at actual cost to make room for fall goods. Call and see.
