THE CITIZEN Cat«re4 at Pottoßlre at Bitler a* 2d ela»« matter WILLIAM C. HKULiif. P«bll»hfr THURSDAY, AUGUST 8.1895. REPUBLICAN COUNTY TICKET. FOR DISTRICT ATTORNEY. A. M. CHRISTLEY. FOR COCNTY SURVEYOR. FRANK E. McQUISTION. The Cameron Methods. The last time Mr. Cameron was re-elect ed to the Senate it was openly boasted by his friends, and acknowledged by Demo crats, that if the Republican defection in the Legislature was sufficient to threaten his defeat enough Democratic members would come to his support to make his election certain. Tne way in which the Democratic newspapers, and Democrats generally, are now trying to encourage Senator Quay in his fight on the State Ad ministration and in behalf of Mr. Cameron is a significant indication that both Cam eron and Quay can still depend upon the common enemy to help them in any per sona! effort to disturb and misuse the Re publican party. The combination of Democrats and Qusy Republican members of the Legis lature which defeated the reapportion ment bills at the late session was merely preliminary to what may be expected in the way ot a combination in Mr. Camer on's behalf at the next session unless the Republican party in the present contest emancipates itself from such danger. Sen ator Quay is Mr. Cameron's friend and oonld not be expected to be opposed to Mr. Cameron's re-election. On every pre vious occasion when Mr. Cameron was re elected he has been indebted to Mr. Quay. Without the exercise of Mr. Quiy's power in his behalf he would not be in the Sen ate to-day misrepresenting the canism of Pennsylvania. Mr Cameron is a candidate for re-elec tion. To know that it is not necessary that he should have made a public decla ration of the fact. That would not be his way. Previous to the canvass of 1884, when the Legislature which re-elected him the second time was chosen, Mr. Cameron went abroad, gave out that his health was shattered and he remained away practi cally until th« election for members of the Legislature was over. But all the time he was away, and for a long time previously, his agents and lriends were working in different parts of the State, and when the Legislature was counted up after the election it was found Mr. Camer on had it in his favor. It was then too late to make successful opposition to him. In the last canvass tor his re-election substantially the same trick was played upon the party. He did not go out of the country, as before, but he remained se olnded while his friends threw out inti mations that he would not seek the Sena torship again. They said he had never told them he would be a candidate for another term. But all the time they were hard at work, and money was being spent lavishly to nominate and elect men to the Legislature who eould be depended upon to support Mr. Cameron tor re-election to another six years' term. As soon as this was realized by the people—and they did ■ot realize it until alter the election — there was a storm of Republican indigna tion from every quarter. But it was too late. The Republicans of the State had been tricked the second time, and Mr. Cameron's friends laughed at their out bursts. Thi same game is again attempted, only it is a little more desperate situation this time, and it is thought necessary to have Senator Quay elected chairman of the State Committee. Mr. Cameron's candidacy*is perfectly well known. Ho was in the contest last year lor the elec tion of State Senators; he and bis friends, both Republican and Democratic, are now helping Senator Quay, and ho will bo in the contest for the election of members of the Legislature next year if a vestige of hope remains to him. The best way to defeat Mr. Cameron next year is to dbfeat his friends and supporters this year. The Republican party of Pennsylvania cannot afford to be beaten by a Cameron-Quay- Democratic combination.— Press. THE banging in effigy of Secretary Car lisle at Natchitoches the other night by the free-Bilverites shows their lawless in stincts and the weakness of their canse when pat to the test of logical argument and historical experience. When the slave-hot d'ng oligiarchy could not an swer the arguments of the Abolitionists in the days of old, they hung the speakers in effigy and the speakers themselves when they got their courage screwed up to the point with bad whisky. Will this be the next move of the anarchistic free-silveritee? What a poor cause they must have if the only argument they can advance is the rope. Who Demonetized the Cow. Mr. Edward Atkinson discusses a very ab»orbing question, "Who demonetized the cowt', It was unquestionably owing to that early demonetization, the diro ef fects of which ran down through tho cen turies and culminated in 1873, that most of our financial ills are chargeable, and not to the muoh-denounced act of some twenty-two years ago. Mr. Atkinson says that "a cow wa9 the unit of value in the Homeric period. A cow was current money throagnout Europe, Asia, Egypt, •nil all Africa. The ox was the highest unit, the cow was the common standard; the ass, the goat, and the sheep were the small change," After this uncovering of an ancient financial secret, Mr. Atkinson, with coivincing congener an.l a port i>f pitiful, tearful accert, again propounds the question, "Who demonetized the cowt" Mi. Atkinson is clear in the op inion that what the farmers ought to do is to go back "to the real money of our dad dies, to the mot.cy of the ancient Greeks and Romans, to the unit of value of the men who 0.-ginlzed society and art and in dustry and commerce " They know what good mo'jey was, and the question there fore recurs, "Who demonetized the cowt" Mr. Atkinson states that "all the farmers have to is to copy the legal methods that the silver men propose. Pat all the cows on Uncle Sam at a fixed price, and then let Uncle Sam i?sne legal tende r cow certificates." KHKTCCKY distillers, having 85,000,- 000 gallons of whisky on hand, have con cluded that that is enough for a year at least, and proposed to suspend work at their distilleries for a twelve-month, pro- Tided they can get 1)0 per cent, of their number to enter into tbe agreement. They not only have big stocks on h»nd, but report that the demand is small, which latter condition should be good news to tbe advocates of temperance. No wonder Commodore Singerly's rec ord in so opposed to Governor Hastings. The Governor trounced the Commodore to tho tune of about 250,000 vote* last fall The Commodore thinks Hastings would be a good man for the Republican party to turn down, and especially n for the Democratic party. Oh, yes, tho coinino doro has good reasons tor opDo.-ing Hastings lor that phenomenal majority. This Year's Elections. The political campaign of the present year lacks the interest that was attached to that of last year, by reason of the fact that only Slate officers are to be chosen, and also because the general condition of things is improved; but it has a good deal of importance, nevertheless, and the re sult of the approaching elections can not fail to effect the fortunes of the parties in a considerable degree. It is impossible in a year immediately proceding a Presidential canvass to keep national questions out of Stato contest?. Local issues can not be made the exclusive topics of discussion and tests of party strength. The peopb are not willing to put aside mattejs of vital significance to the whole country for the purpose of ad justing matters which pertain only to par ticular localities. They like to vote upon everything in sight, BO to speak, and to give expression to their views about ail the doctrines and policies which relate to the common welfare and prosperity. It is true, as they know, that State officers have little or nothing to do with Federal affairs; bat the interests of the parties which such officers represents are at stake all the same, and the average yoter is in the habit of casting his ballot with that fact uppermost in his mind. In all the State platforms this year, it will be observed, preference is given to national questions, and the campaign is being conducted with reference princi pally to such considerations. The chan ces are in favor of the Republicans in every Northeran State, and they have a possibility of success in Kentucky and Maryland also. But they h»ve not the same advantages that they had last year, generally speaking, and there is danger that their overconfiden ce will prevent them from polling a full vote, and thus promoting their parly's chances of success next year. It is easv to understand that another emphatic verdict for protection, sound money and honest government like the one that was rendered last year is very desirable to the Republicans this year in order to stimulate the anti-Democratic sentiment and encourage men to vote their ticket. Big Republican majorities in the coming Stato elections will contrib ute materially to the means of a triump hant victory for their standard bearers in 1896; and one of the main efforts of the party leaders will be to urge their party men to go to the polls and make the num ber of voters on their side as large as pos sible. In politics, as in war, the worse the enemy is whipped in preliminary en gagements the easier it is to defeat him in the main battle, and a decisive victory for the Republicans this year will go a great way towards making success cer tain and overwhelming next year. MAN dislikes dictation. He hates boss es, and loves to flatter himself that he is a free agent. Hovr is the oomplete and sub serviart slave of custom and of law, nat ural and civil. Nature tells him to eat and sleep and take proper oxercise. He must obey or die. Custom prescribes his actions, and his conduct is regulated by law. Fashion dictates the cut of his garments, and popular sentiment governs his opinions. All this is so well known that his conduct under any given circaui stances may be pretty accurately predict ed. Planet* themselves are subject to the dictation of inexorable law. Everything fits everything, and mast run in its proper groove or be crushed out of existance_ Solar systems obey orders, and the uni verse is a piece of clock-woik. Whj then, should little, insignificant ephemer al man set himself up as a free agent? There is no tyranny but wrong—no cruel ty but wantonness. Every man Las his place, and everything its purpose. "Who can say that the perfume of the rose in not useful to the constellationst" All thongs are important as forming a link in an orderly and connected whole, and all are insignificant as individuals. — Ex. ALL government, indeed every humau enjoyment, every virtue, and every pru dent act, is founded on compromise atd barter. Ve balance inconvenience; we give and take, we remit same rights to enjoy others, and we chose rather to be happy oitizens than subtile disputauts. As we must givo away some natural lib erty to enjoy civil advantages, so we must sacrifice some civil liberties for tbe advantages to be derived from the communion and fellowship of a great em pire. But, in all fair dealings, the thivig bought must tear some proportion to th« price paid. None will bareer away the immediate jewel of his soul. "Thkre is no such thing as law," was the surprising and comforting piece of in formation given by Governor Clark of Arkansas, to the la3t graduates of the law department Arkansas University. The Governor had but just presented diplomas to the young men, which the recipients might naturally suppose were evidence that thoy knew some law, as a result of several years of study. Governor Clark explained that there woro rules accepted as law, but these were so complex in principle as to render the law a myth. Ninety per cent, of appealed cases could be decided either way, he averred, and Lawyers on the bench very frequently divide on the question of what is the law. Ths newspapers are just now filled with tho doings of the multi-murderer Holmes. Anything conuected with that arch fiend, no matter how wildly conjectural, is con sidered good news matter; and wholesome reading is sot aside for this gruesome trash. Ail this is demoralizing. It may,' however; be turned into a useful lesson as illustrating the power of habit. No doubt even Holmes had qualms of conscience after committing his first murder, ami was hauated by visions of the police and the gallows. But a few additional murder;; so calloused his conscience its to make mur der a passion with him. 150 Miles an Hour. Ij«!ig distance transportation of people, mail and express, at a speed of 150 miles per hour or greater, is a flight of imagina tion whicn may be realized in the near future, as a result of a combination offici ally announced between the Westing house Electric and Manufacturing Com pany of Pittsburg and the Benham-Wil liams Company, operating tho great Bald win locomotive works, of Philadelphia. Tie Westinghouse Company has au electiic motor, it is claimed, in the Nikola Tesla patent, of sufficient force to whisk a carload of people through space at the rate of almost three miles per minute. A combination has now been effected with the Baldwin company, which is the oldest and most experienced locomotivo building concern, to produce a carriage which can withstand the shock of the rail contact when going at such lightning liko velocity. George Westinghouse, said "We have entered into working arrangement with the Baldwin people under which we pro vide the motors for electric engines and they build the rest of the gear. Tnere is au increasing demand for elctric locomo tives. and they may become tbe chief traction power in the future. In order to snpply the great demand for them we have taken the necessary steps in advance. "So far these locomotives have had a very limited use. They have been assign ed to work iu freight yards in situations where the freedom from smoke made them especially valuable. Hut these limitations cannot last, and we realized that plans must be made to build tho machines on a large scale." *'Joe" Rising, of Indiana county, owes a cat tl.at last week gave birth to two lively kittens. The mother, alter a care ful survey of the increase to her family, concluded that it wasn't large enough; so off slie trotted to the woods and returned in a short time with two rabbits, which she has domiciled with her own offspring. The mother, the tw > kitten and the two rabbits mokes what might be termed a "happy lamily." NEI3HBORHOOD NOTES. While workmen in Meadville were dig ging a trench last week they unearthed a human skull. It was fractured, indicat ing a violent death. May as well charge it up to Holmes. The daily finds of that man's victims indicate that his bone yard covered the best part of this con tinent. A gentleman in Lancaster city present ed to the Intelligencer a specimen of but terfly. or moth, which was bred from the larva- which caused the antics of the beans known as "jumping beans," which were a curiosity in many store windows last summer. The bean is a native of Mexico. An Erie paper says: "Grapes willj be plentiful. At Dunkirk the crop will be large and better than ever belore." This opens the question whether the "Erie liar was lying at the time of the May frost or is doing his lying now. Phtebe Walton, who was ninety years of age, died at the Bucks County Poor house last week. All of her long life, with the exception ot live weeks, was spent in the poor house, where she died She was well Known to almost every per son in Bucks County. An exchange says the time is coming— and not far distant, so rumor goes—when the bicycle that now costs SIOO can be bought next summer for SSO or SOO. A re port has been in circulation for some time to the effect that a syndicate is being formed for the purpose of putting on the market on or belore April 1, 1896, 4t'0,000 bicycles, which are to be made at $lB each and sold as low as S3O. The bicycle is to be as good for all ordinary purposes, as the SIOO wheel of today, and it is supposed it will lead in the cutting of prices. SAXON BURG ITEMS. PicnicKer? from Evans City were here in big numbers last Friday. Mrs. Theo. Helmbold was the hostess. E. E. Graham contemplates removing from town at an early date. Mr. Ernest Faber, of Butler, while on a visit to this place last Sunday was kicked in the face by a horse. His teeth were knocked out and his face bauly bruised "Mr. Fred Bauman is on a vi<sit to Cleve land, Ohio. Mr. Frank Knoch arrived home last week and will stay for several weeks. The base ball crank is getting his deadly work in by making guesses as to which club will win the pennant. Al. Kuoch says he has already picked the winner. Mrs. Pfeil has sold her property on Pittsburg street, and will with her faiu'ly remove to Pittsburg Mr. Gunst of Jef ferson Centre, was the purchaser. The dance given in the opera hou3e last week *as a very successful and pleasant one; and it is hoped it will soon be repeat ed. Charlie Schoentag left town on Tuesday. He has not yet determined upon a perma nent location. The Telephone Co. continues doing a good business. This has proven to be a big thing for the town and is muoh appre ciated. The rain on Tuesday was very welcome. Our farmer friends were complaining of its being too dry. Julius Knoch and family left tor Utica, New York, where they will spend some time with Mrs. Knoch's parents. The opera house looks well since receiv ing its several coats of paint. Oar people are greatly troubled with mid-night prowlers who persist in robbing trees of their fruit. An example should bo made of these light fingered gentlemen and perhaps that would put a Stop to the stealing. Jimmie Helmbold met with a painful accident last Friday while jumping from a wagon on Main iitreet. His arm was broken and white tho injury is painful, Jim is doing nicely. PETERSVILLE ITEMS.
