It gives me pleasure to extend greet
ing to the 5-lth Congress, :: emViled in
regular session at the seat of govern
ment, with many of whose senators and
representatives I have been
associated in the ser
vice Their meeting occurs
nnder felicitious conditions, justifying
sincere congratulations, arid calling for
ever gratefnl acknowledgement to a
beneficent yrovidence, which has so
signally blessed and prospered us as a
nation. Peace and good will with all
the nations of the earth continue un
broken.
A matter of genuine satisfaction is
the growing feeling of fraternal regard
and unification of all sections of oar
conntrv, the incompleteness of which
has too long delayed realization
of the highest blessing of the union
The spirit of patriotism is universal and
is ever increasing in favor. The public
questions which now engross us are
now lifted far above either partisan
ship, prejudice or former sectional dif
ferences They affect every part of
our common country alike, and permit
of no division on ancient linen, educ
tions of policy, the soundness of the
currency, the inviolability of national
obligations, the improvement of the
public service, appeal to the individual
conscience of every earnest citizen to
whatever party be belongs, or whatever
section of the country he may reside

Th»-y have been diligent in their efforts
to secure the. '■o-operation of European
countries in an international settlement
of he <jue*tion, but up to thid tiiu-'
have not been able to secure an agre
tui ut. They have not made their final
report, a* farther negotiations arr
pending and in contetnjilation. It is to
}*■ earnestly hoi»ed that theii labors
may r<--mlt in an international
meiit which will bring about recogni
tion of both gold and silver as money,
n]>on such terms and with snch safe
guards as will secure the use of both
metals upon a baais which shall work
no injustice to any class of our citizens
In order to execute the provisions of
the third and fourth sections of the re
venue act, approved July ±4, IK>7. I ap
pointed Hon John A Kasson a special
commissioner to undertake the requi
-ite negotiation* with foreign countries
desiring to avail themsalvt»s of the*e
provisions The negotiations are now
proceeding with «everal governments.
It is believed that by a careful
of the powers conferred by that act,
some grievances in onr mutual trade
relations may be either removed or
largely alleviated, and that the volume
of our commercial eaohanges may be
enlarged.
Most desirable is the effort to extend
our foreign commerce. To this end
onr merchant marine should be im
proved and enlarge'!. The inferiority
of our merchant marine is justly hurnil
jating to the national pride. 'I he gov
eminent, bT every proper means, Hhould
aid in making our nhips familiar visi
tors at every commercial port, thns
opening up new and valuable markets
to the surplus products of the farm and
factory."
And his concluding paragraphs refer
to the effort to preserve the far seals,
international arbitration, increase of
our naval power, government of Alas
kn. protection of Klondikers, Pacific
Kailroad debt to the government, civil
wrvice, and economy in expanses
Quay Politics
A dispatch from Washington ilated
last Saturday said:
District Attorney Heii.er turned up
here to day for the purp«>se of witness
ing the opening of Congress, he said,
but really to find out if he could, from
Senator Onay and State < bairtuan El
kin, who his assistant was to fx;.
The two most prominent candidates
for the place so far have been D. M.
M'P'-r < J Pittsburg, and John P. Lang
nam, or Indiana The lattei had tic
backing of Chairman Klkm. However,
when they all got together at Senator
nay's house it developed that the Sen
ator himself had a man for the place,
but the name of his candidate could not
IK- learned.
Mr Jleinerand Chairman Klkin had
a talk with Attorney (leucral MfKenna,
but the tangle was not straightened out
and the district attorney went home to
Pittsburg again this morning without
waiting for the opening of Congress. It
is probable the matter will be fixed up
l>efore Chairman Klkin g'*-* home

According to remarks dropped in pub

voters will vote against the propose !
iM«,r farm to be voted for or against in
February. We have been always able
to keep our poor decently with a low
rate or tax, levied twice in ten years,
and it wouldn't necessarily be called
selfishne.-s-t not to vote for a continual
and increasing tax of oonrseaootitin
tsal and general tax would cqiutli/.e the
burden which may rest on a few locitli
ties. Think and vote.

I Assignee Sale.
\ Having been appointed assignee for the benefit of creditors of D. A,
Heck, Butler l'a., I supposed it would take at least one year to close out
this immense stock, but owing to the way the goods are going out It will
not take more than three months more to close out the entire stock. We
st'll have a quantity of children's suits, ages from 4 to 10 years—good
heavy cassimers, former prices from $4 to fS, which we will sell at what
you would have to pay for satinet or shody suits, $ 1.75 to $2.50 per suit—
satinets from 50c to SI.OO. Children's aud l!oys' overcoats from ages 4to
20, former price from $4 to $1 a, now from #1 to SB. Young men's suits
for ages 15 to 20 years many of them Ht less than half price—also shirts,
ties, collars, cuffs, gloves, mittens, a full line of underwear from the cheap
est to the best makes—men's and boys' sweaters—cordivan jackets, men's,
boys' and children's pants, children's astrachatt reefers only $2.50, se'l
everywhere at f.j.00; Beaver and chinchilli reefers from $1.50 to $2.00 —
watches, chains, pins, umbrellas, trunks, valise's, hosiery, combs,
brushes and a variety of notions for Christmas presents. As I expect to
close out this entire stock within the nert 90 days I give notice to all pei
sons knowing themselves indebted to said IJ. A. Heck to call and settle the
same at once as after Febuary 1, IS9B, the books will be left with my at
torney for collection with cost and interest as the hooks must be settled as
soon as the goods are closed ou*. If you wish to avail yourself of the
mauy bargains offered, CALL SOON.
