THE CITIZEN CtmJ at rwtaSM •« B«tl«r >• 2* class-atte» WILLIII C. ■KM LIT, - THUBSDAY, JANUARY 28, 1887. The New Senators. The exact political status of the Nation al Senate will not be known until the final adjustment of the difficulties which exist in Kentucky and Delaware, and until a'l the vacancies are filled. There are dead -1 ocks in several of the States. From pres ent appearances, instead of two or at most three groups of members, the neit Senate will have five namely,the Republican?, the filyer Democrats, the Populists, the hon est-money Democrats, and tie silver- Republicans. In twelve states Senators were chosen last week. In six ol the present mcimoents were re-elect?, as follows: Orville H. PLatt. Republican, in Connecticut; George W. Vest, Democrat, in Missouri; J. H. GalliDger, Republican, in New Hampshire; James K. Jones Demo crat, in Arkansas; Henry M. Teller, silver Populist, in Colorado; and Henry C. Haas brongb, Republican, in North Dakota. In New York David B. Hill, the Demo cratic leader until the wild wave of Pop ulism struck and engulled the Democracy, has been succeeded by Thomas C. Piatt, Republican. In Indianapolis Charles W- Fairbanks, who was the temporary Chair man ol the Republican National Conven tion which met in St. Louis on June 16, and nominated McKinley and Hobart, has been elected to succeed Daniel W. Voor hees. In Pennsylvania Boiso Penrose, Quay's "me too" will succeed Don Came ron. In Illinois William E. Mason, a na tive of York state from which like-wise Senator-elect Piatt and Senator Teller hail, was chosen with unexpected unamity to succeed John M. Palmer, the candidate f the National Democracy for* the Presi dency. Mr. Mason lives in the city of Chicago; thus in Illinois as also in Indiana and Pennsylvania, tho disposition to look to the large cities (or Senator candidates, instead of to the minor towns, is notice able. In North Carolina Jeter Pritchard, a silver Republican, has been rc-elected, and in Kansas the remarkable William Alfred Peffer, who had no previous expe rience in Congress when elected to the Senate by the Populists in 1891, has been "turned down" in favor of another Popu list from the Sunflower Slate, namely, William A. Harris, irbo was elected Con gressman in 1892 by the Democrats and Populists in opposition to the Republican candidate. Peffer the present Senator, and Harris who succeeds him, have each a war second. Peffer was on the the Ijnion side in the Eighty-third Illinois Infantry: Harris was on the Confederate side in the army of North Virginia. Pefler is a law yer by profession; Harris who succeeds him. is a civil engineer. Peffer has had nothing to do with the Union Pacific Rail load except to denounce that corporation; Harris aided in .the construction of the Kansas division as an engineer. Pefler is ten years older than his successor and is said to know very much less. Both are unconditional silverites, and the political divisions in the Senate are not altered in any respects by the n«bstitution of one for the other. From Delaware there are three claimants for the seat of Senator, Col. Du Pont, a Republican, Mr. Addicks, an Addicks Re pvblican, and Richard R. Kennedy, a Democrat silverite whose election Is de clared irregnlar by a part of the Rspubli cans of Dover, while o'.her Republican members declare there is no vacancy in the delegation from Delaware, Col. Du Pont, heretofore elected being entitled to the seat. Kentucky has but one Senator, William Lindsay. aDd the post of bis for mer colleague. Senator Blackburn, re- nuU nn routtnt, tl*«» dirimon of th* two p® litical parties in this loTmer Democratic stronghold being now very close, and un, der the biennial system, there being no Legislature in session in Frankfort this winter unless convoked by tbe Republican Governor, Bradley, It is said that Brad ley himself has Senatorial aspirations. Tbe date fixed for the next session of the Ken tacky Legislature is Jan. 3, 1898. One Day For Human Liberty. To the Editor of the Son—Sir: Tho boanden duty of the United State* as the representative republic of the world is to promote, extend, and defend government Dy the people when and wherever, in this hemiapbere at least, an opportunity ia of fered to do no by lawfni and honorable means. Coba, at onr very doom, demand* and deserve* oar active and effeotive rapport. Her people are making heroic sacrifices of life and treasure to gain the freedom wbicb we now eDjoy, and the happiness and prosperity which it has seemed to ns. They are Americans They have a right aa snob to appeal to ns for support in the terrific struggle they are now making to gain their independence. If we fail to aid them we are traitors to human liberty, and false to downtrodden humanity. Cuba, the fairest land open the earth, after 400 yea r s of misgovernment by .Spain has a population of I,GOo 000. Under conditions which em bar .urn, restrict, and discourage production, the foreign trade of the United States with tha*. island tor the fiscal year 1893 was $103,000,000. It is greater than oar trade wi'h any other countries excepL Great Britain, '-ermany and France. Cuba can easily maintain in comfort a population of 10,000,000, and with free and atable institutions and rea sonable taxation our trade with that island can be trebled within ten years, so that by aiding the Cubans to gain their inde pendence we can at tho same promote oar own interests It is said of Cuba by those who are giv ing aid and numlorl to bpain that the peo ple are not prepared for self-government From 1868 to 1878 they heroically resixted the power of Spain, and abandoned their struggle for indedendence only on a pro mise from Spain of self government, which piomij.) hpain failed to fulfill. A people small in numbers, and without ma terial resources, unfit for self government or self-control, coald not beve maintained lor so many years their resistance to Span ish tyranny. Their willingness to sacri fice life and treasures for ability to govern themselves. lam authentically informed that '.very Caban resident in the United States is giving from one to three day's income per week to aid the cause of Cuban indepen dence. If every American freeman will contribute one day's Income) to the same cause the independence of Cuba will be secured without regard to the action of the I'rei-ident or Congress. The Cuban League of the Uni'.ed States composed of American citizens, appeals to all classes aud to every lover of human freedom in this republic to bend comribu tions. great or small to Charles it Deni Bon, 38 Park Kow, New York, Treasurer. EM A* A I.LKN, President of the Cuban League ol the Un nited States. THKRK is a bill before the Ohio Le}?- islature that ought to pass. It forbids the promiscious distribution by patent medicine venders of pamphlets and bills describing the symptoms of disease. There are cases on record of well persons who have worried themselves into a de cline over fancied symptoms, and people of weak nerves are no doubt often much injured by seeing those ugly pictures and uglier descriotions of disease. In many instances the advertisements and circu lars of the patent nostril ins are rank of fcnscs against common decency. The law should be made to protect the homes and mails of the land from these con taminating ami indecent pamphlets. 0* t'ie second Wednesday in .February Congress in joint sessiou will witne*< the opening of'he e.eetoral Votes from the several btates, and the result of Presi dential election will oe liually declared. THE HOSPITAL. A Statement of Facts Concerning the Hospital Movement. Fearing that wrong impressions may have been made on the public mind by the publication in last week's Butler Herald <f an article written by Thomas Robinson, the undersigned desire to call attention to j correct some of that gentleman s state men;* in reference to the Hospital ques tion. In the first puce let it be kaown that the popular aud beneficent movement that has been inaugurated and is now being carried forward to success by the ladies oi Bntler lorjthe establishment of a General Hospital in this plaoe meets with the ap proval of all our citizens, the subscribers hereto not knowing of anyone who ojjecis, with the exception of this one man, Thes. Robinson. About two months ago the iadie- gave public notice in the local press and from the various church pulpits ot a call lor a general meetiDg which all interested in 'be establishment of a hospital were ear nestly invited to attend for the purpose of devising wavs and means for securing a hospital. The public meeting was held in Y. M. C. A. Hall and largely attended by the ladies. Plans were diseased and ad opted at this meeting for the carrying on of the project in view, aid subsequent meetings were held tor completing an or ganisation for the active work. Soliciting committees were appointed and put to work immediately to secure subscriptions to the hospital fund. Tbeir unbounded success in obtaining liberal subscriptions wems to have come to the notice ol Mr. Robinson, who at once set to work to re surTect the charter and all else belong ing to the defunct hoapitil association, and to the surprise ol many ol the ladies who were actively engaged in the new work and utterly ignorant of the existence of such an organization, intruded upon them the claims of the old association. The ladies courteously recognized the oid organization by appointing a commit tee of their own to confer with a similar committee of the old association. At these conferences it was clearly developed that the old board had nothing whatever to offer the ladies but a charter that was in many respects objectionable, —no sub scriptions, no site—aud it was so uttorlj devoid of life :hat several members of its board declared that they never attended a meeting of the board after its organization were under the impression that the organ ization had ceased to exist, and oignifind a willingness to allow the ladies to go on uninterrupted iu their good work, assur ing them of their hearty co-operation. One of them, who Is an abla lawyer, assured the ladies that it would be less trouble some to obtain a new charter than to se cure the amendments of the old instru ment, and advised them to pursue tne for mer course. At the last conference of the committee it being manifested to both sides that two separate organizations could not succeed, the president of the ladies' association proposed this question: 'lf we rotire now and give the old association a clear field, will you take up the work and carry it out to a successful issuet" To this question no reply was made. Even the president of the old board, when ssked if he thought the ladies would meet with any opposition from his unsocial ion should Ihoy continue to work independently, replied in a most emphatic mauuer "I believe I voice ihe •cnliuient of my honored colleague when I say Wat not a straw will 'be placed in your way, and itc bid t,ou God speed in this noble icork!" With these assurances emanating from such a reliable and au tnoritive source, the ladies decided to proceed in their efforts as originally in tended by them. In the meantime the fact became known to tho public that conferences were being held between the new and old organiza tions, and the effect was such that the soliciting committees were obliged to cease work because of their inability to se cure further subscriptions until it was de finitely understood that their efforts ffnr» not being made in behalf of tho old or ganization and under the old charter. These apprehensions were removed as soon as the jadies made publication of ap plication for a now charter and let it be known that their intention was to proceed in the work according to their original design The generous responses to their appeal for subscriptions already attest tho popularity of tne movement as carried on by tho ladies This is a truthful statement of facts regarding the hospital question, and iu our opinion should remove all doabt and prejudice that may exist in the minds of those who may have been wrongly inform 0(1. No one knows better than Mr. Kobinuon that all bis efforts put forth in the l»st fi'ur years to secure a hospital in Butler have proved a complete failure. His bill for an appropriation was vetoed by the Governor, as we under stand on the ground that there was nothing tangible in the *hape of subscriptions and a site upon which to base a claim. And no one knows better than Mr. Robinson that when he presents his bill again on t'ie same basis as above (as he has declared he intends to) he will again meet with defeat and at the same time, if his purpose is carried out, be the means of defeating an appropriation thafwill be applied l'or by the ladies. Therefore, take uotico, that if Mr. Tho*. Robinson successfully interferes in tho way indicated, Butler county will obtain r.o appropriation for a hospital, and he will bo to blame for depriving the people o! this aiu. Mr. Hobinson also intimates something about a division on the Huhject. Aside from him. there is nodivlsion. The young ladios referred to in the different churches who were interested in the work of the old organization, are now much more hopeful ly interested in the preicnt movement ai.d Bre in hearty sympathy with it Prominent representatives ol their number h>»ve s» ex pressed themselves, and are ready to or ganize and co-operate as auxiliary to the Woman's Hospital Association as soon a their services are needed. It is to be hoped th.it Mr. Robinson will reconnider his purpose an.l refrain from further opposition to a movement begun and now well ou the way to success for the establishment and maintenance of a hospi Ul for Butler and Butler county. The hearty co-opera Lion of every cltizeu is invited in the establishment of a hospi tal, general both in name and character, non-sectarian and non partisan, ''by the people and lor the people."

HARRISBURG. On Monday Gov. Hastings flatly re fused to accept Thomas G. Sample of Pittsburg as a member of the Soldier Orphans Home Commission. Sample bad been recommended by Department Commander Darte. Quite a number of bills were introduc ed in the House that day and among them one by Rep. Moore appropriating JiS.ooo for the Butler Co., Hospital. Seyfert, of Lancaster, surprised his fellow-legislators bv making an attack on football. His bill makes the game a misdemeanor and levies a fine of not less than JlO nor more than f 100 upon players and trainers. It is not expected the measure will muster a corporal's guard in committee. Senator Losch, of Schuylkill, intro duced a bill putting primary elections for the nomination of all officers, includ ing State and National delegates, under the regulations of the Baker ballot law, providing that both parties shall hold their primaries on the same day, as in a general election, and fixing the pay of election officers. Out of the multitude of primary election measures introduc ed, a good law is sure to be evolved. J. B. Morrow, of loxburg, has sent to Senator Meredith a bill to regulate the measurement and inspection of crude oil which provides for complete statistics of al! Pennsylvania and Lima oils received, delivered and stored, in the State, by counties. The impression is conveyed that Penn sylvania and Lima oils are mixed and sold as Keystone crude. This was for merly the complaint of the German and French Governments, and both nations sent agents to the United States to in vestigate. Mr. Morrow was formerly Superintendent of the Clarion Pipe Line. On Wednesday the Committees were announced. In the House there are 38 of them and we find the name of J. N. Moore on the Judiciary General, Centen nial Affairs, Constitutional Reform and Federal Elections. John Dindinger is on the Bureau of Statistics, Iron and Coal, Library and Public Roads, committees. In the Senate Meredith is on the fol lowing Committees, Apportionments, Canals and Inland Navigation, Con gressional Apportionments, Corporations, Insurance, Pensions and Gratuities, Forrestry, and Law and Order Thk New York Tribune calls attention to the fact that every State that cast its vote for Abraham L'-no da in 18G.), in 189G voted for Wm. McKinley; and that all the States that cast their electoral votes for Wm. J. Bryan in 1890 also voted for Jeff erson Davis in 1861. These facts are among the most remarkable in our politi cal history. It is also worthy of remark that Mr. McKinley's majorities were larger in all the States ho carried than were tiiofe of Mr. Lincoln in 1800' AT Madison, Wisconsin, Tuesday, Jno. C. Spooner, Republican, was elected U. S. Senator to succeed Wm. F, Vilas. Twelve ballots were taken by the legis lature of Utah that day without results. At Columbia, South Carolina, Jos, If.

Mr. Gotbriug went to his barn to do his evening feeding. As he passed through the bam he noticed a large cat. The annual ha<l been about the barn for several days, and te stopped to pat it on the head. Bis hand hail hardly coino in contact with the cat's head, when it sud denly grabbed him by the thuuio. In vain Goehricg tried to shake the annual loose but it hung on like a bull dog. Be tried to loosen its hold by da.-hing it a gainat the floor «d the barn, but ttill it hnng to its hold. Becoming desperate, he ran to the wood yard with tne cat h»aging to his thumb, and laying the animal on the chopping blcck, severed its head with an ax. Some of the Pittsburg papers of last Fri day, published the provisions of the pro posed new law regarding cities of the second class, prepared by l). D. Bruce. At Mt. Pleas wit, Pa., last week a widower aged 73. and a widow 72, met on Wednesday, he proposed to her Thursday, and they were married on Friday. Both are colored people. An evangelist said to the citizans ol Shelbyvilie, Ind. that their town wa- with in 50 miles of hell, and they lorcsd him to apologizo. Mr. Evangelist ought to defi nately locate the hot place. An Allegheny county farmer living near Csrnegie, was sold out by a constable last Monday on a landlord's warrant. It is said that he tried to fatten hogs on horse flesh, obtained by buying worn out horses m Pittsburg, bnt 80 of his hog- died and caused his linanoial trouble. The report has had a depressing effect on the pork trade around Carnegie. Mins Uame Coinpton of New Castle wa» summoned from bed at 4 a. m. to propare breasUst for her brothers, who work in one of- the factories. Sue arose, donned her wearing apparel, set the tabli, ground Lne coffee and «et the victuals on the tablo Her mother thinking she corned in a very quiet manner and was iongur than usual calling the folks to thair morning meal, got up and went lo ihe ilining room wbero she was surprised to find her daughter standing f«ountl &.>leep. It was with con siderable difiicnlty that sne was aroused. With the single exception that she had neglected to kindle the fire in the range and had no hot collee, the meal was per fect. This was the tiist somnambulistic feat the yoang woman ever perlormed and she hopes it will be her last. Pure Blood Is essential to health.
