THE CITIZEN. Entered at P. O. at Butler us d class matte. WILLIAM C. NEGLEY - - Publisher THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 25. '897- THANKSGIVING. Thanksgiving. We have abundant canse to be thankful and to return our thanks to a kind Providence which di rects our welfare. Our personal rea sons for thanksgiving may not l>e many but our national are numerous. We may give thanks for the return of busi ness activity, bringing in its train pros perity and contentment. The hoped for improvement in our commercial conditions has followed the settlement of our financial difficulties by establish ing confidence in the stability of our credit. This has stimulated business •enterprise tD something like its 'wonted activity. The return of a material prosperity hasbeen marked throughout the country and with dollar Butler would be booming. Thanksgiving cheer is proverbial as being heartier aiel belter than that of any other occasion—be it least or festi val—of the entire twelve months, and Thanksgiving is H.L ua> par excelknce when everyone nliould d:ue well. It is an occasion for which every cook racks his or her brain and spends many anx ious days and sleepless nights in trying to originate something new, both in the way of a menu and of the dishes that comprise it. AN English physician calls attention to a means of keeping pneumonia, colds, chills and all the ailments that cold weather brings on, at a distance. Deep md forced respirations, he says, will keep the entire body in a glow in the *>lde-«t weather, no matter how thinl v one may be clad. He was him self half frozen to death one night, and began taking deep breaths and keeping the air in his lungs as long as possible. The result was that he was thoroughly comfortable in a few minutes. The deep respirations, he says, stimulate the blood carrent by direct muscular exertion, and cause the entire system to become pervaded with the rapidly generated heat. HARRISBURG. At the regular meeting of the State Board of Health held a few days ago the baleful influence of the anti-Vac cination League was referred to, and its deplorable efforts to undermine pub lic confidence in the well established value of this preventative measure strongly condemned. Recogiation was also taken of the successful ef < forts of the Woman's Health Pro * tective Association, of Philadelphia, to have passed the law providing for the sanitary inspection of bakeries, bake shops and similar establishments. A list of fourty-four complaints was v received from localities afflicted with polluted water supplies. A year ago a similar list contained but twenty com plaints. Major Isaac B. Brown, superintend ent of the State Railroad Bureau, has referred thirty-one companies to Attor ney General McCormiek, who will at once institute proceedings against them for their failure to comply with the Act requiring them to make an annual re port to the Secretary of Internal Af fairs. Each company is liable to a fine of $5,000 for its neglect. State officials, generally, are disap pointed at the continuation until the January term of conrt of the cases in which Sheriff Martin, of Luzerne coun ty, is a defendant on the charge of mur der. They were in hopes that a pre cedent would be established immedi ately. Auditor General Mvlin is gathering data and information to bo used in a report to the next Legislature on the revenue bill framed by the Pennsylva nia Tax Conference and defeated by the Senate in the session of 18U5. The granges believe this me:u>ure will re lieve them of the burdens of taxation, and are making a systematic effort to secure its enactment by the next Leg islature. General Mylin is not certain as to whether this bill will raise sulficent rev enue to meet the public expenses, and is making the investigation to ascertain just how much money it will raise. He has fowarded to every corporation in the commonwealth blank forms to be filled up for the tax year ending Nove mber 2, 1896, and returned to the depart ment by December 1. For the last twenty years a demand has been made in this State for the en actment of tax laws which will bring about a more complete equalization of taxation than has heretofore existed. A number of commissions have been appointed, and they submitted at differ ent times to the Legislature reports and bills to bring about this desirable end without ever receiving the approval of the General Assembly. Still the agita tion for the reform of taxation continues unabated, the leading advocates being grangers and members of the Farmer's Alliance. The next Legislature will either have to make provision for more revenue or reduce the public expenses. Auditor General Mylin and State Treasurer Haywood are satisfied that there will be a deficiency in the public fund before the close of the coming year. The ex isting law has been in force for eight years and is regarded by students of taxation as unjust and unfair to certain classes in the interest of others. IN describing the large lens recently completed by Rev. John Peate, of Greenville, the London Knowledge ie marks: Dr. Peate has completed the process of grinding and polishing a gigantic disc of glass over 61 inches in diameter, on which he has been engag ed more than two years. By the aid of this mirror a hair can be seen at a dis tance of 1000 feet, and the reflection of the moon at the tocal point would be absolutely blinding. POLITICAL. The prosecutions brought by Senator Penrose and others vs E. A. Van Val kenlmrg, at Pottsville, this state, have all been withdrawn by prosecutors. In the prosecutions at Easton, this state, against Gen. Reeder. Mr. Luck enbach and Assemblyman Weiss for conspiracy to injure John Wanaiuaker in the Senatorial contest the chief wit ness Winnsboro could not be found so the grand jury ignored the bills placing the costs on *he prosecutor, s Both these cases were apparently settled out of Conrt as part of Quay's harmony deal. THERE are now IN.v> convicts in the Western Penitenti, :y. and .uu of these will be thrown out of employment after Jan. 1, IH'jm, when th .u 1 •<w regulat ing the manufacture of yoods in pris ons goes into effct. By the provisions of the law, only a certain percentage of the convicts can be employed at any particular trade. To force these men sj>end the weary months and years in absolute idleness, while in solitary con finement. is a cruel hardshin. Souw way of employing them should be dt vis ed. Human beings must have some thing in which to take interest and piiie. The Eml of Gorman. The news from Maryland that Gor man had l>een defeated came like a refreshing breeze. Of all bosses, he has exercised the mcst baleful inflnence npon national affairs. It is true that the announcement is made that he will not retire, bnt will next year seek nom ination for the House of Representa tives; bnt even if he succeed in accom plishing that design, his power —a power invariably exercised for evil- is broken. Sooner or later the boss goes down, and Gorman has met his fate. His State has repudiated him. He is the offspring of machine poli tics, ami he owes the high place to which he has attained to the cupidity and subserviency of men weaker than himself and to the timidity or complais ance of his equals and superiors. He represents a political condition which is likely to prevail at times in every dem ocracy. and which is best described per haps as a lack of intelligent opposition. Instead of winning the prize of the Presidential nomination, for which he abased himself, he is now one of the wrecks with which the people of this country have marked the pathway of men who try to rise to power by deceiv ing and corrupting them. Outside of the henchman who have profited by Gorman's bounty no one will regret that the end of his public life has conie s-Harpers Weekly. The jugdes in several of the conrts in Pennsylvania require that aliens apply ing for citizenship shall have a know ledge of the Constitution. This fact causes a Scranton paper to suggest that this would be a capital test to apply to candidates for the Legislature. Must Doctors Respond to Calls? The refusal of a prominent Chicago physician to respond to a n:ght call has attracted considerable attention from the secular press. We are glad of it. We hope it will continue until the rela tions of the medical profession to the community ar: fully comprehended, says an 'exchange, When the people fully understand that the doctor edu cates himself, pays for the privilege of attending clinics at the public hospital supports himself and receives absolute ly no privileges or emoluments of any kind from the public, except that of paying license fees and wearing a tin tag. like any huckster, men may inquire why they are expected to owe c any ser vice to the public. True there is the moral obligation entailed by their education and the position they hold in the community.— But the moral obligation concerns them selves alone, and is not one on which the public can place any demand upon them. And the highest moral obliga tion npon them is to support their self and family. Consequently, their first duty is to secure an adequate remunera tion for their services from those who are able to pay for them. Maily views were expressed by differ ent physicians on this question, and some require comment. When a doctor attends everyone who calls on him, with the expectation of realizing some 60 per cent, of his fees, he must not call the other 40 per cent, charity. It is a matter of business. He collects it if he is able; and he cannot call charity his uncollected accounts. — If he knows he will not be able to col lect a bill and still gives his services to that party, it is realy charity; but the doubtful cases must be ciassed as specu lation. A Notable Convent ion. Pittsburg has perhaps, never been the scene of a more notable religious gather ing than the Methodist Episcopal church congress, which began a six days session at Christ church Monday. In conception, purpose and treatment it is unique in ecclesiastical annals and marks an epoch in religious history. The call for the congress which was signed by Bishops Vincent, Ninde and Fitzgerald and many prominent Metho dist educators, says: The congress does not propose to in vite or favor destructive criticism of existing institutions; but simply to bring out from persons representing different phases of intellectual activity, a frank expression as to whether the church can meet any more fully than it does the demands of our times; and if so wherein its activities may be modified or directed to advantage. The congress will not concern itself with questions of church policy but with issues bearing upon the relation of the church to the thought and life of the people as affect ed by current scientific and literary teachings. The congress will aim to secure an adequate presentation of the tendencies of current scientific and lit ery teachings and also suggestions as to the best service to be restored by the church in interpreting those tendencies for the spiritual and intellectual advan tage of its followers. '' The greatest minds in the M. E. min istry from all over the country were present. Saxonburg Sayings.

WASHINGTON Senators and Representatives already in Washington are discussing with much interest the probable length of the coming session of Congress. The hope is general that the session may not exceed six months, but the opinion i also general that its length will depend entirely upon circumstances. If no fi nancial legislation is attempted, it will be comparatively easy to complete the business of the session by the first of •Tune, possibly as early as the first of May, as no time will have to be lost in organizing and selecting the House Committees, as is usual at the begin ning of the long session; but if finan cial legislation of importance is to be put through the House and to be attemp ted in the Senate, everybody may as well make up their minds to an extend ed siege, with probable failure in the end. Knowing the situation in the Senate, many Republicans favor letting financial legislation alone until it is cer tain that something can be accomplish ed. They argue that the agitation that they would necessarily accompany au attempt to legislate on the subject would hurt business and could do no good. It is thought by those who ought to know that the President s action in issu ing a proclamation exempting Mexican vessels in ballast and steam vessels from the payment of tonage duties usually imposed upon foreign vessels in our ports, will give American coal com plete control of the Mexican market. It was an act of reciprocity, as Mexico makes the same exemption in favor of otir vessels. Chairman Cannon, of the House Ap propriations Committee, doesn t intend that the work of his Committee shall furnish any excuse for lengthening the coming session of Congress. He has an nounced all of the sub- committees and notified the members to report for work on the bills in their charge on the 27th instant, more than a week ahead of the assembling of Congress. As President McKinley has never had a donbt that the Senate would ratify the treaty for the annexation of Hawaii, he was not surprised at the publication of a trustworthy poll of the Senate showing that more than the required two-thirds of the Senate had stated their intention to'vote for ratification. The only thing that can make trouble in this connection will be for the handful of Senators who are opposed to ratification to take advan tage of the absence of a cloture rule in the Senate and stave off a vote indefi nitely by talking against time when ever "the"treaty is taken up. If attorney General MoKonna of Cali fornia is placed on the U. S. Supreme Court in the place of Justice Waite whose resignation takes effect 0:1 Dec. 1 st, ex-senator John Hippie Mitchell of Oregon and formerly of Butler may be given McKanna's place. Regarding the coming session Repre sentative Dalzell is qnoted as follows "There will be 110 radical legislation, not even on the currency question Something may be done in the way of remedial propositions, but nothing that will go to the root of the matter. Not only would it be impossible to pass any thing radical throngh the Senate, but I doubt if we could get an argument in the House. There would he so many theo r ; es advanced, and such a differ ence of opinion, as to add confirmation of this opinion. A man with a theory is always the most tenacious of custo mers and the hardest man with whom to argue. "Comparatively little will be done in Congress 011 other subjects. Hawaii will probably be annexed, but there will not be much agitation of the Cu ban question, because when the fact are officially laid before Congress they will show that the situation has greatly improved, and that many of the objec tionable featnres of the war have been removed. "It is possible that an imigration bill wejl be passed, and the bankruptcy bill will also go through the House. The Senate may agree to some kind of ;■ bankruptcy bill, but will hardly accept the one which the House wiil pass. Imperial and Political Ejfotists. A very striking commentary is made by a contemporary on Emperor Wil ham's insane declaration of his repre sentation of divine right in informing his soldiers: "It is your task to keep faithful to me, whether against foes within or foes without, and to obey when I command, and to stand by me." The comment is, that if even George Washington or Abraham Lincoln had made such ail assertion their hearers would have hooted them, But the fact is that neither Washington nor Lincoln could possibly have said such a thing. Both of them were too great. It is only a small mind, swollen with vanity, that could perpetrate such ridiculous egotism. Yet it is an instructive fact that while no great 11. an of this country could make such an sxhibition, that position is practically taken by a much pettier class, namely, our political bosses They do not use as plain lan guage as William the Sudden. To the extent of verbal caution, they are wiser than he. Hut their acts and attitude on political matters are all inspired by the same egotistic instruction to tue ranks and3file of the party, that it is their duty to lie faiihfuf to the bosses, "whether against foes without or toes , within." It makes no difference wnat the interest of the people may be: it is of no importance what the convict, of the voter*-; as to the matters involved j may be; they are therein the estimu j tion of Piatt or Quay, to obey whom the boss commands. The difference between William's egotism in declaring that he is the State, and the same quality in the b >—• es' assertion that they are the pe is that the half-back Emperor blurts it out a little more plainly. —Pittsburg Dispatch.

CITIZEN. In Pino Creek Valley. When Washington was retnraintf from his mission to ihe French did he come ont on the Allegheny through the Pine creek valley? His journal of that is not at hand, and if it were, might not assist mnch in the solution of | the question. In haste to reach home, j taking Christopher <iist with him. he left the rest of his companions far np the river and struck across the country |on foot. Pine creek heads in the neigh | borhood of the Bntler county line: the month of the creek is almost dne south of the Venango of his day and of the Franklin of ours: consequently the con jecture is reasonable that he and Gist came down the valley of that creek. Gist very likely knew of the island lat er called Wainwrights. now a part of the mainland, and so they decended the north shore of the river to a point near the Fortieth street bridge, and there constructed the raft on which to pole ! their way through the ice to the island, i Why was the creek called Pine"; It had j that name before the revolution, as it is !so designated on Pownall's map. It It was so called doubtless because of the aboundance of pine which <*rew in the valley of it. remainders of which appear in the batches of beautiful green to be seen now amid the russet and brown of other trees. Last Sunday was the anni versary of Washington's arrival at the cabin of John Frazer. at Turtle Creek, the site of whose cabin is covered by the Edgar Thomson steel works, as judged from an old map. He arrived there November 2t, 1753, and the next day he and Gist visited the Point, theu on their way to the French. These facts were suggested by a walk in the Pine creek valley last Sunday, remark able for its beauty. The "21st of Novem ber, 1753, was a very different kind of a day—rainy, and gloomy as yesterday hereabouts.—Pittsburg News. erospect Schools The second mouth of our schools clos ed, Friday, Nov.
