WASHINGTON.
During the session of the House, last
Thursday, the annnal fight took place
over the free-seed distribution, and one
Congressman read some postal cards he
bad received, as follows: —
"John's influence can't be got with 15
cents' worth of free seeds, but if you II
send me a box of hairpins. I'll lookafter
him HIS W IFE.
"P. S.—ld rather have crooked
ones." . .
Another: "If the farmer must be
made an object of charity, don t do it
with free seeds, but send him a hand
organ and a monkey, and start him in
the business right. Good Government
lies in treating all of its subjects alike.
That kills the free-seeds idea complete
1. ••
1-V Another read: "Free seeds keep the
Congressman in touch with hit* constit
uents; that's the whole story. Why
not Jet up on seeds for awhile and send
jack-knives? Everybody can use them,
anrl there wouldn't be so much waste.
In that caw: radish seeds wouldn t come
up i<<x>r turnips, and the Congressman
would be saved much ridicule which he
now often gets."
These communications he denounced
aa being "dirty documents," and the
usual appropriation of $130,000 for free
seeds passed.
During the debate that day some
very caustic criticisms of the proceed
ings in the Senatorial election in Ohio,
from Mr. DeArmond (Dem.. Mo.) call
ed forth a warui defense of Mr. Hanna
from Mr. Mahany 'Rep.. N. Y.), who
eulogized the Ohio Senator as the man
who had overthrown the lx«ses of the
Republican party in IW6.
The agricultural appropriation bill
carries $3,328,402 being $135,500 in ex
cem of the amount for the current year.
Mr. Wadsworth (Rep., N. Y.), Chair
man of the Agricultural Committee, ex
plained that the increases were due to
the constantly growing demand for in
spections of meat and meat products
for export.
Under the latitude allowed for debate
Mr. Williams'Dem., Miss) submitted
an extended argument in favor of the
establishment of a postal savings bank
system.
After »ome remark# by Mr. Hender
eraon (Rep., la.), in support of the ap
propriation in the bill for seed distribu
tion and in enlogy of Secretary of Agri
culture Wilson, whom he described as
a genuine, hard-fisted farmer, Mr. De
Annond got the floor and submitted
some sarcastic comment on the news
paper reports of the election of Senator
Hanna. He read the telegram sent by
Mr. Hanna to President McKinley:
"God reigns and the Republican party
dtlll lives."
The telegram, said he, wns nnique.
That God reigned there was no room
to doubt; therefore, the latter clause of
the telegram was the more wonderful.
With cutting irony he proceeded to
read and comment on some of the tele
grams of congratulation sent to Mr.
Hanna from that city, including those
of President McKinley, Senator Haw-
Uy and others.
Representative Showalter introduced
bills to correct the military record of
Stewart Hodge, of Company K, Sixty
third Pennsylvania Volonteers; to peri
sion H. H. McGown, of Bea7er Falls, to
correct the millitary record of Andrew
Donaldson; increasing the pension of
Harriet J. Levis, of New Castle; to cor
rect the military record of John Evans
of Mercer; increasing the pension of
Liont. James A. Morrison, of Green
ville.
The last European nation to take a
place in the line of applicants for a rec
lprocity treaty with the United States
is Germany, the country which made a
bluff when the Dingley Tariff bill was
pending, that was promptly called by
Congress and President McKinley.
The clause of the tariff that brought
Germany's pride down to asking for rec
iprocity is that which imjioses addition
al duty upon sugar brought from conn
tries that pay an export bounty on the
article. When the German Ambassa;
dor requested that reciprocity negotia
tions lie opened, he was informed that
his Government must take the first step
by agreeing to remove the restrictions
now imposed upon American cattle and
beef imported into Germany.

a Commission beaded by Representative

nine ways in which a dishonest Poat

been diacovered by Hixth Auditor Cas

made possible by the Dockery system,
and although it has }>een in operation

*SOO "to Peter Fennell of CoylesviUe,
Butler county Pa., whioh he paid fin-a
snlistitute when he was drafted dnring
the war. As lie voluntarily enlisted
three months later and served in the
armv, he believes that he is entitled to
a refund of the money. Hills to correct
the military records of James W. Den
niston and Samuel R. Patterson, and a
bill to increase the pension of Lieut
Samuel A. Hughes were also intro
duced.

Mr. Foraker, the senior senator from
Ohio, presented-Mr. Hanna's credentials
for the remainder of Mr. Sherman s
term, which will expire on March_4,
1H99. and asked that the oath of office
be administered to him. Mr Foraker
escorted his colleague to the desk,
where Vice President Hobart adminis
tered the oath.
The pension of Joseph Double of Chi

THERE is news from China and Eu
rope that is of great importance, in this
country, In the first place. Great Brit
ain has announced definitely that Rus
sia and Germany, separately or togeth
er, are not to secure any privileges in
China that are not also granted to the
subjects of the Queen, England insists
that the most- favored-nation clauses in
her treaties with China shall be respect
ed. As to her own demands, they are
characteristically unlike those made by
the others. All want trade, but Eng
land wants trade for all people, while
the Tsar and the Kaiser want territory
for themselves in addition to the control
of trade for their subjects. If it be
true that the Chinese loan, which Rus
sia has not been able to secure, has
been guaranteed by Great Britain. Eng
land is likely to have her way. Ger
many has obtained from China the
gnint or lease of a limited area at and
about Kioa chou Bay.
Will We Have a Poor Farm?
Every day the Poor Far in question
is being discussed throughout the
county. This is well, for the more the
question is discussed, the more people
will know about it and the more in
tellegently they will vote on it. Then
it is but little more than three weeks to
election day, February 15.
Indications were that as a rule, the
boroughs would vote in favor of the
Poor Farm and the townships against
it, because there are usually more pau
pers in towns than in rural districts.
Also there are some communities,
where a poor tax is unnecessary. How
ever if the people see that a Poor Farm
will be an economic and sensible im
provement, a large majority through
out the county will be rolled up in fa
vor of it. Two weeks ago we published
a letter from Franklin stating that
Venango County's Poor Farm expense,
all told, was about $8,500 a year. They
have about 100 paupers to care for.
Butler County's poor tax is over $21,000
a'year. Now assuming this county's
Poor Farm could be run as cheaply as
Venango's and would care for about
the same number of poor, there is a
balance of $12,000 in favor of the Poor
Farm and against the present system.
The warmest advocates of a county
farm, suggest that land, say 200 acres
at from $35 to SSO an acre be purchased.
This can be done, and so all the real
estate necessary will cost not more than
>IO,OOO. As to buildings, it is not pro
posed to build a great palace to keep
the poor in. Several small substantial
buildings, without any expensive extra
gingerbread about them, would be best
and cheapest. No difference if they
are plain, the first qualifications of
architecture are simplicity and neat
ness. A row of five houses all under
one roof, or rather a long honse of five
or six apartments each containing fon/
or five rooms, strikes us as being about
the proper thing. Four such apart
ment houses we would estimate snffi
•rent to shelter all who are sent to the
farm.
The authorities of the insane as
svlums at Dixmont and Warren s*y
they will not renew the contracts,
when expired, to care for Butler Conn
ty's insane. So it might l>e well to
have one building constructed express
ly for the care of insane. Some are al
so in favor of having a workhouse at
tachment for confinement of those in
the county convicted of minor crimes.
But this would be mixing punishment
"and charity, and it is a question wheth
er these two blend well together.
All the buildings, for whatever pur
pose, could be constructed for less than
SHO,OOO, and the total cost of farm and
houses would be less than $40,000. This
could be paid by the County in one
year by levying one extra mill of tax on
the dollar. Then if the County Com
missioners will be so considerate of
tbeir fellow tax payers as to select an
honest, industrious, capable Superin
tendant who will make the inmates
work and who, by economy and skill
fnl management, will make the insti
tution as nearly self-sustaining as pos
sible, we believe the county tax payers
will never regret the Poor Farm as an
economic move. Once the concern is
started, its success and efficiency will
depend on the integrity of the officials.
We believe there are hundreds of oapa
ble men in Butler (bounty, honest and
honorable enongh to superintend a
Poor Farm as a public servant and not
for selfish private interests, who will
recognize tnat the chief virtue of an
official who expends his fellow citizens'
money, is economy.
February 15th is the deciding day,
vote as your conscience dictates. In
the CITIZEN of Dec. 2, 1H97, the act of
June 4, IS7D, governing poor districts
was published. A few copies may yet
be obtained on application to this of
fice.

Several suggestion have been made
for the benefit of mercantile appraisers
lay Anditoi General Mvlin. He says
that appraisers shall personally visit all
stores or other places of business liable
to mercantile tax. and that no license is
to be assessed where the annnal amount
of sales is less than fIOOO. If dealers in
liquors sell other goods than liquors
then they must pay a license for the
sale of snch goods. The department
will pay no bills for mileage unless it
is satisfied that the appraiser has in
person visited in one continuous trip
every place of business assessed. Deal
ers in live stock are exempt, as are also
butchers who sell meat of their own
killing, but dealers who buy the dress
ed product must pay a license. All
dealers haying a shop away from their
slaughter house must also pay. Coun
ty treasurers are instructed to give the
collection of license fot theatrical,
operatic or circus performances, and
museums, their personal attention and
to strictly enforce -the act. All own
ers of restaurants, eating houses, etc.,
not selling liquors, must be assessed.
Publication of the list is subject only
to the county commissioners and dare
not be made in a Sunday paper. Sum
mons and executions in suits for uncol
lected licenses must be issued direct to
the district constable, thus preventing
a grave abuse of the past in the way of
big bills. General Mylin also states
that it is within his province to reduce
all bills so as to conform with the
meaning of the law.
The Society for the Prevention ot
Cruelty to Animals is making a fight
against cattle shippers and from all
over the State reports are coming in
to the effect that dealers have been
prosecuted for overcrowding cars.
The law allows only 20 head of cattle
to be shipped in one car and very fre
quently as many as 28 are packed in.
The result is that some are badly in
jured, some killed and the majority of
them contract diseases that prove an
injury to the health of the consumer of
the meat. Considerable attention is
also being paid to the act that provides
for the watering of live stock while in
transit.

The Phil'a Bolt.
The correspondent of the Pittsburg
Dispatch writes from Washington :is
follows:
Senalors Quay and Penrose have had
many bad quarters of hours since the
anti-Combine bolt from the Martin
convention at Philadelphia and their
discomfort would be mightily increased
could they hear from all of their friends
in the House as they have heard from a
few.
It is the undivided opinion of the
Pennsylvania Republicans in the House
and of othOTs who are in the city, that
the action of the Newitt, or Quay-Pen
rose, delegates was little less than in
sane, considering all the circumstances.
I have spoken on the subject with
nearly every Pennsylvania Republican
member of the House Naturally they
will not permit the use of their names,
as most of them are candidates for Gov
ernor, and without exception they de
plore and plainly denounce the bolt.
"Nothing could have happened,
said one of these gubernatorial candi
dates, "which will more surely pave the
way for discord and disruption in the
approaching State Convention. Quay
has given bloody instructions tha* will
return to plague the inventor.
"What can he say now against a Ixjlt
in the State Convention'/ In that con
vention there will unquestionably In- a
considerable body of delegates opposi d
to what is called the machine. They
will have a candidate in the person of
John Wanamakcr or another represent
ative of the Business Men's League.
The league will demand the .nomina
tion of their man as a departure from
machine nominations, and as an ap
proach to the purification of State poli
tics. Fiom this time on the feeling
will prove more and more intense.
"Can Quay ask these men, before
they go into the convention whether
they purpose to abide by the tial ol the
majority and support the candidate of
the convention? That would be a fine
thing for him to demand.
"Of course the Quay candidate will
be nominated, and 1 hope I shall be the
man, but I h>ok for a liolt, no matter
who may l>e the lucky one, anil the con
duct of the Quay Penrose N'ewitt Tui
tion at Philadelphia will give an aniaz
intr and disagreeable impetus in that
direction, though it may seem to some
that the one should have no bearing on
the other. "
This is almost the exact language of
one of the most prominent Republican
members of the House, and its echo is
found in the mouth of nearly every
other.

JAMES MORRISON THOMPSON
At his home at West Liberty, Pa..
Thursday, January Oth, IH'JH, as a result
of a stroke of paralysis, the earthly car
eer of James M. Thompson terminated
after suffering but a few hours.
The deceased was a native of Erie
county, this State, where he was born
on the first of July IHI6, and vras con
sequently in his li-d year. W hen he
was but one year old his parents loaded
their earthly ponsessions, consisting of
household effects, one cow, three rug
ged boys and one daughter, upon a keel
boat and drifted down French creek
from Union City to the waters of the
Allegheny and the Ohio, and hence by
the Mississippi to a point near St. Louis
where the family settled upon a farm.
After a residence of ten years in the
West, during which the father died the
family returned overland to the East,
mrking the long journey --with an ox
team, having more than one encounter
with wild animals on the way besides
suffering from dread of the savage red
man, who at that time and for long
years thereafter was a terror to the
overland traveler.
On reaching man's estate James M.
returned to Missouri where he remained
but a short time. On November it,
IH4O, he was united in matrimony with
Michal Ann Miller, of Hanover, Indiana.
The young couple settled in Erie conn
ty. Pa., where they resided until lM'iT.
when they moved with their family to
Butler county, where they have since
made their home.
Mrs. Thompson prceeded her husband
in death, having passed awaj on the
of May IH'.W, In all there has been
eleven children born to the couple, nine
of whom survive their parents, viz;
Benjamin 8,, who resides in Lawrence
county, Pa.; Wilson S , of Venango Co.
Pa.: Reid S., of Stafford county, Kan
sas; Sarah M. Thompson, of West Lib
erty; 11. A. and George V".. of Mt Jew
ett , Alice E , wife of J. S. McElwaine,
of Butler, Pa.; Jas. D., .of Pittsburg,
and John (i , also of West Liberty, Pa.
The entire family, with the exception
of the son who resid«s in Kansas, were
present at the funeral services which
were held at tin- late home of the de
ceased on Saturday, the Bth inst., after
which the remains were laid to rest in
the cemetery at West Liberty, the same
six sous who laid their mother to rest a
little over one year ago, acting as pall
bearers.
Almost the entire lift; of James M
Thompson was spent in the peaceful
avocation of tilling the soil For many
years both Mr and Mrs Thompson
were devout members of the Associate
Presbyterian Church, he having filled
the office of elder, and when the final
snmmcns came it found him ready.
PNIL.LL' A. NICKLAHS
Philip A Nicklass of Brownsdale Pa
died Jan. Hrd 18!»8 age 21 years 4uion
ths l day.
The death of this young man was a
shock to neighltors and friends of this
vicinity as his sickness was not looked
upon as serious until two or three days
before his death. Everything possible
was done to relieve the sufferer bubnoth
ing seemed of any avail and he passed
peacefully away on the above date.
This young man was born and raised
iti Brownsdale l'.i , and was well known
by the people of this vicinity. It is not
necessary for me to say many words in
regard to his character, as the large
funeral which followed him to bis last
resting place Ixire testimony of the high
esteem in which he was held by his
neighbors and friends. Vet the writer
feels that no one outside of his own
family knew him lietter than he did and
feels it a duty to bear a few words of
testimony regarding his life and char
acter. It was the writer's good pleas
tire to have him in his employ for near
ly two years, and during that time
always found him a genial asociate and
faithful helper, lis was careful in bin
business habits, honest as steel and
truthful to the very letter. In the house

expression to the facts in the case. He
was gifted with intellectual faculties of
a high order He was scholarly, well
versed in the arts and sciences, and had
a good knowledge of the original lan
gnages. Latin. Greek and Hebrew,
which he acquired by personal effort
and without the aid of a teacher. He
was for many vears a successful teacher
in high schools and public schools, and
having made the scripture his daily
study, he was thoroughly acquainted
with there truths and doctrines and as
a consequence was an excellent Sunday
school popular as such. He
He was extremely diffident. Like the
Master, if an attempt was made to give
him promotion he would uniformly "go
and hide himself," and always asked to
lie excused on the grounds of unfitness.
His crowning excellency was his god
liness. He was truly a godly man. He
afforded undoubted evidence of this
through life and 110 less in his death
which was peaceful and triumphant.
In early life he made a public profess
ion in connection with the U. P. church
and remained steadfast therein to the
end. Two sons, a sister and two broth
ers survive him. They mourn his de
mise. but not as those who have no
hope. Of him it can safely be said,
"right blessed are the dead which die
in the Lord. A: \" The funeral services
were held in the Harmony church on

EUITOR CITIZEN: In your issue of
the I:sth inst yon republish an article
from the New York Press, under tin
heading of "Pensions,' which many old
soldiers consider as reflecting on their
services and moral standing in their r<-
spective corn in unities
We have been accusUtmed to read
such articles altove referred to for the
past i years, but only in the "Bourbon
Press" of the land, the "Bourbon" pa
pers at all times favored giving liberal
pensions to all "deserving soldiers," the
word "deserving" had become very fa
miliar to all Democratic writers and
speakers, and after thirty years of solid
hammering away at this one word, pa
pers not claiming to lie in accord with
"Bonrborism" have taken up the howl.
The Democratic party defined the
word to mean ' not one.' and from the
tone and language of the article refer
red to, the same interpretation is at
least implied.
From March 4th. 180:1, to March 4th,
18t»7, there was an administration in
power, with the whole ipachinery of
this great nation,and with a firm determ
ination to purge the pension rolls of
all undeserving names, in their power,
and what is the result?
Are our friends the Republican party,
intending to take up the work of purg
ing, where tin? Democratic party lelt
off? Such appears to he the intention.
It is no use to try to make us believe
that the conditions of our exchequer re
qnire the cutting down
of pensions. Why wns not this
cry raised in IHUI-9'.i when it required
one hundred and eighty fiye million
dollars a j e;ir to pay pensions? Then
there was not one word of complaint,
not even from our friends on the other
side, but now since the mini has been
reduced forty five million, the money
power of the land is awakening to the
fact that the old soldier is getting too
much, so they make the old ch*irge and
cry "fraud." There was no cry of
fraud from that quarter when the old
soldier was getting fifteen million and
the bondholder two hundred million
dollars per annum, as interest on his
little investment in the fracas. Fhe
soldier invented his life, health peace
and happiness; the bondholder his guld
after it had risen to 2.H5. The soldier
was paid in forty cent dollars, out of
which he had to pay the highest prices
to maintain those dependent on him,
and now when the average of them are
on the shady side of three score years,
when their remaining days should be
made smooth and comfortable, they
are threatened with want and need and
the poor house, by those who are clam
oririg to "pay reasonable pension* to
all "deserving" old soldiers.
Now I would advise very little haste
in moving on the pensioner, and light
attacks on the pension rolls, for there
were over two and one half millions of
these old soldiers, they were good men
and true, and have thirty two years the
start of those howlers, and have im
proved the time, and raised, trained up
and educated at least five million stal
wart voters to vote for and take care of
them. C. F. SMITH.
Our correspondent evidently saw
more in the article referred to than we
did.
Time and again have we heard old
soldiers and pensioners assert that the
names of deserters, and men who were
never at the front during the war ate
on the pension list.
The soldiers have two great organiza
tions the O. \ It and I' V. 1/ and
it is for them to see that the pension
list remains a 1101 lof Honor.
The publication of the list for each
O'Unty givin-c names, dates, amounts
and reasons for granting would proba
bly end this t-ill< regarding it
