THE: CITIZEN. Entered »t P. O. at Butler :iS 2d cU>s matter WILLIAM C. XZGLEY - - Publisher THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 35. IN TAKE NOTICE. To the members of Republican Count} Yoti are hereby called to meet at Lin coln League Hall in the of Butler. on the -'.th day of Fe' 1*97 at 1 P. M.,to fii the tune for hold ins the Republi-an primaries in Butler cotintv for nominations for Congress, inn- commissioner an<i delegate to the state convention and to transact any business that may properly come before the committee. A. B. C. MCFakIaVD, Chairman County Committee. G. E ROBINSON", (}. W. COOPKH, Secretaries. CHAIRMAN McFarland calls upon the County Committee to meet on Sat nrdav afternoon of this week for the purpose of fixing the time for holding the primary for making nominations for Congress, Delegates to the state convention and Jury Com missioner, and we nnderstand that the idea is to fix the primary for one month hence—or Saturday, March 2ith. We suggest that this would be "crowding the mourners, so to speak: that their are about sixty polling places in the county and that a four weeks canva-B would give a candidate less than half a day for each district; that so short a canvas would prive new candi dates no chance whatever, that a spec ial election for Congressman has not yet been ordered and that there maj lie no special election; that there will prob ably be several candidates for Jury Commissioner and Delegate" who will wish to make the acquaintance of the Republicans of the county and state their cases; and that the date for th'' state convention has not yet been fixed and it is not known who the candidates for State Treasurer and Auditor Gen eral will be. Let ns have at least a two months canvass. The Time to Act. Jn several districts of the State move menu have recently been made to get rid of the conferree system of making nominations The late campaign call ed attention anew to the evils and (bin gers that seem to be inseparable from that system, and prompted the voters; of many parts of the state to demand its entire abrogation In some quar ters, as in the Chester Delaware dis triets the proposition is that nomina tions shall hereafter l>e made by Dis trict Convention large enough to fairly represent the party voters of the whole district. Such a convention would certainly be a great improvement on the present mode of making nomina tions; but even a convention represent ing ail the election districts is not the best instrument for doing that work. Undoubtedly th< fairest and safest way of selecting all party candidates is by the direct vote of the people The Republicans of some of the Western States are even now seriously consider ing the expediency of making State nominations in this way. and has come to be known as the Crawford system is growing in favor all over the land. Whatever may be thought <*f the prop osition to apply that system to a State there is no reason to doubt that it would work well in any Congressional or Senatorial district. It would go far to check the corrupt use of money in districts contests. It would at once and forever end deadlocks between can didates. It wonld leave in the hands of t ie voters the power they are enti tled to wield the power of selecting their own representative* and it would strengthen the jjarty by bringing it into closer accord with the people. This is evidently the time for making this change in our own State. No longer ago than last August the Repub licansof Lycoming county, in their County Convention, resolved with prac tical unanimity that the present me thod of making district nominations should he abolished, and that such nominations should hereafter be made by a general vote of the people at the primary elections. the same time the Convention instructed its conferrees to urge this change upon the represen tatives of the other counties. Unfor tunatelv, the conferrees then appointed did not follow those instructions; but that is no reason why the Republicans of the other connties should not meet their brethem of Lycoming half way in making this desirable,jrform. Onr own County Committee is, we 4appose, soon to be railed together to organize for this years work When that organ ization is effected, the Committee shonld, we think, direct its Chairman to appoint a committee, to confer with the party of the other counties of both the the Omgn-ssional and Senatorial districts with a view to adopting the system asked for by the Lycoming Republicans. Their are no district nominations to be made this year, and the time is therefore crs-cial ly propi turns for making the desired change. It is time to act; let us have effective action by the committee. Wellsboro Agitator The island of Crete, which Is the scene of a great deal of excitement just now, Is to the south of the mainland of Greece and rightfully Iwdongs to that kingdom. The ('retails have Is-en in re bellion over two hundred years. They have fought many a imttle when the Turks were twenty to one. Some times they have routed the enemy, even against such 'slds, and when they re treated it was in good order to the mountains, only to return and pounce tipon the enemy's camp. The Cretans are fine types Greeks, and it is the most fertile of all the famous islands of Greece Its {sanitation la abont 2?.°>.000 But for local half breeds and apostates and the continual invention of the |s>w ers, the Cretans would long ago have driven the Turks from their island. They are brave and united, and have long desired to resume their place as a part, of the Hellas. A writer in the New York Sun says that they are a part of an organization that extends throughout Greece, the island of the lonian Sea. the Grecian Archipelago, Macedonia and Constantinople This is a secret society, backed by immense wealth and vast, numbers, the object of which is the downfall of the Sultan and the removal of Turkey from the map of the world At a concerted signal there will Is; an awful uprising, such cs this century has not seen. The time has not yet come to strike, but it is near at. hand and if the organization succeeds. Mace donia, Crete and Constantinople will once more Is-long to the kingdom of Greece.

HARRI6BURQ. The State Treasury will pay no more school warrants before April Between 400 and 500 of the-\ jOO districts in the State have not yet received their -h;tre of the $5,500,000 for the current year Many of these are small district- and depend almost entirely upon the State appropriation to run their schools.

The Governor s plan for a group of Capitol buil'iings has been very gener ally approved by members of the Legis lature. There is a difference of opinion as to details, but as it looks now there will be no delay in getting down to business in the building of a new Cap itol. The Governor has requested the heads of the different departments to fnrnis.h him with their needs as to floor space and general office requirements. | Daring the session of Monday night a number of bills were introduced, and among them one by Rep. Moore of Butler, amending the act of t ebruary >4. 1870, so as to authorize the ac knowledgement of a wife to be taken in the same manner and with the same effect as if she were a femme sole, also an act providing for the making of a sworn copy of book accounts kept by any couum f n carrier, rnilro.l'l compuij chartered storage or transportation, or other public corporation- doing busi ness within this commonwealth prima facie evidence in any suit or action in which such accounts are involved in an issue between other parties and in the result of which the said corporations have no direct or pecuniary' interest and providing compensation to such corporations in such -nit a- the court mav order and difpet in the event such hooka of account are required to be pro duced.

The Nebraska legislature has had the good sense to reject 1 bill for th': dis play of the United States flag on all j school buildings. Some of the members characterized it as buncombe patriotism and calculated to make the flag as com mon as a pocket handkerchief, and, it might have been added, a very dirty pocket handkerchief Some of the flags displayed on «<hool houses in this state create' sympathy for the* disfigure ment of the "old flag.
