WASHINGTON. Rep. Showalter has secured a daily mail from Butler to North Hope, Hook er, Greece City and Boydstown. The mail from North Hope reaches Butler abont 10 A. M and leaves at 1 P. M On Thursday he presented to the House a petition from 10ft citizens of the German Roman Catholic association of Sharon, against the Lodge immigra tion bill. R. M. Hovis has been appointed»P. M. for Clintonville. Israel M Stern of Ui R, has been granted a pension. The State department received a cablegram from Ambassador White, at Berlin, giving details of the German decree forbiding the importation of American fruit The decree of exdu «ion uses the word "American" as de scriptive of the place of origin of the fruit, which would seem to include Canadian fruit, and instead of applying only to fresh fruit include* all 'fried fruits from America The course is said to lie without preceedent and dis courteous toward the American ambas sad or at Berlin to make a decree and put it into effect without the slightest warn ing to him. By making the decree take effect at once and stopping all fruit in transit a great injustice is done to ship pers, who thns. without warning, are made to lose heavily. The decree is also condemned in that it makes no pro vision for the admission of fruit of ab solute purity; permits no demonstration of origin or healthful condition and con demns all fruit, good and bad alike. These considerations are to be strongly urged upon the German government as reasons why it should either revoke or modify the decree. Charles 11. Grove of Brownsdale has been granted a pension. Monday Rep Showalter presented the jietition of citizens of Beaver Kalis for the further restriction of immigra tion. Rep. lialzell presented a similar petition from the Lucy Webb Hayes circle, Daughters of Liberty of Pitts burg The publication of a letter from the Spanish Minister at Washington to a friend in Spain in which he calls I'resi dent McKinley a lew politician (politi castro)created a sensation Monday, and several belligerent resolution* were in trodnced in both Houses of Congress.

The Great Republican Conference &t the Bourse and Who Were There. BOSSES AGAIN3T THE PEOPLE. A Battle Royal This Year— The State Aronaed— Over Four Hundred Men From All Parte of the State Meet In Philadelphia— Qnav and Andrews Ar raigned For Their Crime* Asralnut the Party—A Platform That Should Ronse Every Republican to Action. (From Our Own Correspondent.) Harrisburg, Feb. B.—The conference of Republicans from ail parts of the state at the Bourse, In Philadelphia, on "Wednesday last, which Invited Hon. John Wanamaker to lead the fight against the bosses, is destined to be come historic in Pennsylvania politics. It is but the statement of a plain truth to say that outside of a state conven tion no such meeting was ever held within the borders of the common wealth. All classes of men. all ele ments of independent political thoucnt within the Republican party, all ranks and grades of men In business life were present. There were no million aires present, but scores of farmers, and the conference was attended only by a handful of Philadelphlans. There was a degree of honest difference of opinion expressed, but It only served to more emphatically emphasize the free and untrammeled character of the gathering. But perhaps the most striking feat ure of the memorable conference was the predomiuence of the soldier ele ment. The Grand Army of the Re public and the Veteran Legion was really the mast conspicuous factor of the day. The presiding officer, Gen eral Koontr. is a veteran of the civil war, while the most prominent speak ers were men who had come through the hall of bullets and listened to the shriek of shrapnel in the campaigns on the Potomac and In the valley of the Cumberland. A DISTINGUISHED CROWD A cold blooded and Impartial gtudy of the personnel of the gathering Is the highest testimonial of Its character. The machine papeis and the bosses' organs over the state have endeavored to make it appear that the meeting was controlled by politicians who had advocated the election of Hon. John Wanamaker to the United Stages sen ate—that the bulk of those attending was composed of the disgruntled and disappointed. These pap fed Journals state the truth when they say that the conference was composed of the dis contented element in the Republican party. It was composed wholly of this element—of men who have become dis gusted and discontented with the arro gant. selfish and corrupt mismanage ment of the Republican party. It was not made up of sorehead politicians and worn out political hacks. Every man present was a distin guished representative of the commu nity In which he lives; men who have given their time, money and voice to the party, and who out of self respect are now compelled to refuse to go hand In hand with political wreckers of the M. S. Quay and "Asparagus' Andrews type. The war record of the men who repre?ented the finest ele ments of the veteran army of Penn sylvania is an interesting one. There Is General W. 11. Kooritz, chairman of the conference a veteran of the late war. a leader of the Somer set county bar. one of the finest cam paign speakers In the state, a war horse of the Republican purty and a gentleman who through the long period of a political careei has never asked and never received a favor at the hands of the bosses THE SOLDIER ELEMENT THERE. Another conspicuous figure was the past state commander of the Grand Army of the Republic. Gene ral John P. Taylor, of Miffiin county General another war rime ngurc tnai • up In the conference, and no man who has ever read the record of the famous Iro« Brigade- can fe,rgc-t that he was its commander. General Robert B Heath, ex-surveyor general of Pennsylvania, and one of the rr.oft prominent Grand Army m"ii In the United States, added his pres ence and his vote to th* gathering. The maimed and crippled of the Grand Army of heroes were represented In two men who limped into the confer ence hall In the persons of Major George W Merrick, of Tioga county, and Major E A. Hancock, of Phila delphia, each one of whom left a leg on a southern battlefield. Majeir Me r rick was one of the vice presidents e,f the meeting, and delivered one- of the most scathing spec cite * on l/e.sslstn ever heard In Philadelphia His arraign ment of Quay and Andrews literally amounted to a flaying In the long ll*t of distinguished men pre*ent at that conference who have occupied posl tion* of tru*t In *tate anil nation can be found th« name* of Colonel J.

"At a time of th<- moHt serious bu*l ne** depression, and the resultant fall ing off of the public revenues, they ap propriated during the !a*t two MI-KMIOIIH more than a million dollar* for pur poNe* either unlawful or useless, which appropriation*, fortunately, intt exe^^* - ijre dliaprtwal. "For the purpose of creating new offices, and to extend the power of pa tronage. they passed what Is known as 'the mercantile tax bill.' imposing bur dens upon and crippling almost every business Interest in the commonwealth, already overtaxed, and but for the ex ecutive veto this bill would have be come a law. TRIED TO CT"T THE SCHOOL FUND "To afford greater opportunity to make appropriations for useless and unlawful purposes, a serious attempt was made to cut down the appropria tions for our public schools to the ex- tent of 11.000.000. which failed of pass age only because of the storm of public • sentiment raised against it from every j part of the state. "Numerous bills were introduced for the mere purpose of extorting large ' sums of money from the corporate and ] other interests of the state as the price ! of preventing their passage. "To satisfy public demand, an Inves- i '■ tlgatlon of the state treasury was or- j ( dered. but the committee appointed ( was so constituted that, instead of in- j vestigating. their plain effort was to j | conceal, and no questions were permit- | ted to be propounded by any member j ( except such as had been prepared In advance and where It was known that the answers would do no harm. "The foregoing reference to the work of the last legislature Is abun dantly sufficient to indicate the charac ter of the members and Uit Influence by which they were controlled. The re deeming feature of the legislature was the firm and uncompromising stand taken by that body of legislators known as the 'Seventy-six.' who did all that could possibly be done to protect the taxpayers of the state fre.nj the flood of proposed corrupt legislation and wh". therefore, deserve the recog nition and gratitude of ail the peo ple of the commonwealth. "So insolent and shameless have those In power become that they have dared, in some instances, to recom mend for appointment to federal offic e memlx-rs of the late legislature as a vindication of their wrongdoing.

"In view of the foregoing statement of fa< ts, we c onsider it of the utmost Importance that the next governor of the state shall be a nan of the l.igh est character and Integrity; represent ative of the best typ of Republican ism. and one upon whom the p'-ople of the commonwealth can depend to pro tect th'-m should occaric n arise- against vicious legislation, and especially against th»- evident purpose of the ma chine to pass at the next session of the legislature the expense bills of the ia vestigating and Junketing committee* already reft:red to, which were Justly disapproved hy the pre ent c-x'-' iltive.

Is responsible for the presc-nt cor rupt condition of politics In our state." MR WANAMAKER NAMED. The general results of the conferece are already known. They have been scattered over the state by the t'-le graph and Associated Pres.". A re-solu tion was offered c alling upon Hon. John Wanarnake-r. ex-postmaster general of the United States, to pe-rmlt the use of Jils name a* a candidate for governor on the anti-Quay. anti-boss ticket. It Is generally conceded that Mr, Wana maker will make the most formidable opponent to the bosses' candidate that can be named. He Is the man most feared by the bosses. Mis sterling c har acter, with wide public experience, and his national fame as a statesman and a business man will tenel to make- n contest In Philadelphia from which I s?mr The state is aroused.

A < ar«l t«> tlx* Vot«*r> and Tax payers of Itutler Comity. Whereas, at the election to be held on Tuesdav. Feb. 15. lx»*. the voters of Batler connty will I** given an oppor tnnity to express their will for or against a poor farm and the necessary and re quired buildings and equipments there on f««r the proper care and keeping of the indigent jsx>r and ins.ine of onr connty. And whereas, in the event that a liiaji ritv of the voters at the said election cast their ballots in favor of a poor farm, the law will cast uj*>n ns. the Commissioners of the county, the ; duty of purchasing such farm and erect • ing the buildings therein and pnrchas ing the equipments thereof, we deem ; t our duty as such Commissioners, and in order that the voters of the county mav vote intelligently and understand ■ ingly on the subject to give this public j expression of onr views upon the mat , t« r and also the line of action we j would deem it our duty as public serv ants of the people to pursne in the dis charge of our duties and in the u«e and disbursement of the public funds in that l>ehalf in case said election results in favor of a poor farm. Personally and as citizens and tax payers, the action of three different Grand Juries taken from the great body of th<- voters of our county in favor of a poor farm, the action of a majority of the lioards of overseers of the poor of the various townships and boroughs of our county expressing themselves as in favor of a poor farm the results in those counties of our state having j>oor farms for the care and keeping of their poor as contrasted with those counties which do not have a poor farm, as well as our own personal exj>erience and observation combine to lead us to the conclusion that the pur chase of a suitable farm by the county and the erection of proper and suitable buildings thereon and the proper con duct and management thereof, all on good, sound business and economical principals affords the liest. the cheap est. the most humane and most satis factory way and plan of properly keep ing, caieing for and mantaining the in dige nt poor and insane-of our connty. So far as onr public and official dn ties shall be concerned, in the event that the election results for a poor farm, we shall favor and endeavor to pursue the following general plan First. The purchase of a farm of not exceeding acres of good land in the central portion of the connty. in an accessible location, but sufficiently 'lis tant from the liorongh of Butler, or any other business centre, so that the price should not exceed the fair, reas onable value of the land for farming purposes, and so be always intrinsical ly valuable a# land for the full amount of the funds of the county invested therein We think such a farm can be secured for from f-55 to SSO per acre, depending somewhat on location, qual ity of land and improvements thereon. In no event should the cost of the land exceed SIO,OOO. Second. The erection of good, sub Htantial. permanent buildings of sutti cient si/.e and capacity to meet the present wants and needs of the county, and any probable increase during the next twenty or twenty five years These buildings should he warm, comfortable, convenient and suitable furnished with all necessary conveniences and coin forts but no attempt at architectural display, and no unnecessary expendi ture of money in the erection of massive buildings for show and display. Our idea being, that aside from the insane department, tin- buildings should so far like character appcaiancc and environ incut We think Midi buildings toilld he erected, furnished and properly equipped and supplied at a cost of not exceeding $40,00') to $50,000. thus mak ing the total cost of farm, building* arid equipment all complete and ready for the use and occupancy of the jscr of the count} at a total cost of $50,000, or $t!0,000 at the outside, and are de termined that it shall not exceed tin latter sum. Third. The conduct and manage incut of said poor farm in a thorough, business-like and farmer like manner, with the strictest regard to economy and the attainment of the largest an I best, possible results, under the care and management of a superintendent Or manager, who should be a farmer, with a good education, ami personal knowledge and exper.ence as a farmer and stock raiser, with a suitable person us matron of the (dablisbfiicnt. Eyeiy inmate of the farm jiosesse'l of sufficient physicial ability and mental acumen would be ex|»octcd an'' required to con tribute their labor to the work and ser vice of the faim MI that the amount of j cxpendituics for hir> <1 help, outside of i tin superintendent and matron, should be reduced to the minimum. Our object, aim and intention would la , so far as pfic'fible, and as soon as possible, to make the farm vt-jy largely H self sun taming institutien and we believe that alter the lirst year the products of the farm in the way of grains, fruits, vegetables and meats, could Is- made contribute very largely toward the keeping and maintenance uf the inmates.

ZKLIE.VOPI.K. Feb. 7 IH9B. EDITOR CITIZEN: I have been read ing the letters in your paper on the top ic of a Poor Farm and the majority .eem to l>e in favor of the Poor Farm. I r.m also in favor of it —if it is run right. 1 notice a great many of the farmers seem to think that the people of Butler want a Poor Farm thinking they will get a position, at a good sala rj, and no person but them have any say in running it. I understand the County I 'omiuissioners have the run ning of the farm, and if it is not run right the jieople, all over the county, will have a say every three years, by voting for and sending good men to Butler as Commissioners, who will see that it is managed right. If one set of men do not do it satisfactorily do not send them back a second time, but send gome other ones that will have it done right. It rests with the people all over the county who shall be the managers, by sending the right men to Butler, and don't think that the people of Butler alone shall have all the say in regard to it. We have a Board of Commissioners now that is composed of two farmers and one Butler man, and I think the farmers will have two out of the three votes in running the institution at the start. A writer from Brady twp. writes, "what is more sad than to see a gray haired man or woman treading their way to the Poor House; it is much better. 1 think, when the gray haired men and women are so poor that their kind friends and neighliors will not take care of them to have a home to go to, where they know they will have some one to take care of them and have what th.-y can eat and wear, than to be sold out to some one who will make them work while they aie able, and get paid for it liesides; then when they are not able to work they do not want them any longer. I have always noticed that the people that would keep the poor for the two dollars a week, were jwople that had not much help at home, and if the poor were not able to work they did not want them. lie spoke of our large farms and large com for table houses, with pleasant stir rouiidirigs for the poor: those people are not the ones that keep the poor , they that have large farms and comfortable the shape of some old or crippled per son that has hard luck in lite and did not lay up enough to keep them the rest of their days on earth. The phrase "Over the Hill to the Poor House, may sound sad when it is read about, but if yon saw where some unfortunate poor were moved from one place to another, when one person got tired of them.then move them along, I think it does not look so bad then to see them wend their way over the hills to the l'oor House, Whi re they know there i* a home for the rent of their ilaj'H on thin earth. I IFTIOW of one pernon, a woman, that no perHon would have about the houae after her htixhatul ilied, even for what work nlie could do, and alio was stout and hearty, hut when the Poor Hoard took her to keep. she could KET a place with people that had no women help. She did the housework on the large and comfortable farm", and the farmer got •t'l per week for tier hoard. Hhe wan moved from one place to another ami at present she in away in another town -hiil, hut tie towiixhip SHE happened to he LIVING in when her hiiMhainl died in paying her keeping, and Hhe isaway.far away, from In r kind friends and neigh nors, and if HHE wan dead now she would LII- burled in the Potters field, j lint the Millie Thin in just one of the many that could IN; FOUND throughout the county, if they were hnnteil up.

Allegheny county has a Poor Farm, and their assessment is one fourth of a mill. WI 1.1.1 AM C'->V Contirned on fourth page Stop the Drill. The Standard's allied companies com pleted 120 wells in January, adding 5;!6 barrels of oil daily to the produc ; tion. Of these. '29 were failures and 33 were in the (ihio field- addingo4s barrels of stink oil to further depreciate the value of Pennsylvania oil. They have underway 108 wells in the different oil fit Ids. making over one fourth of the entire operations. This is being done at a time when they are paying less than the cost of j producing oil. for the and only purpose of ruining their patrons and , others engaged in the business. One of their men when making a large dona tion to churches, said that "God gave me the money." Yes, the same god that gave Weyler the power to starve, murder and rob the Cubans; the same god that hovers over every thief in every land, and his name is Mammon and when they are called home to meet their god they will find their abode in a mo-Jt sulphurubrius clime. The murder, theft, starvation and rapine of the defenseless Cubans has given Weyler great satisfaction, how much greater is the satisfaction of these men, knowing as they do. that they are daily robbing their patrons of the sav ing.- of a lifetime, sending them penni less to their graves, or leaving their families to depend on charity. It is the satisfaction of a demon, of that god that gave them the predictions of the oil markets of the word, signed "stu dent" in the Derrick one of the most infamous s'-hemes of robbery ever de vised. Producers are you willing to help these men to rob yourselves,your neigh bors and friends'? Stop this foolish drilling and they are at once powerless to oppre.i* you. They buy wells attached to the Pro ducers'line, turn the oil over to them selves, and steal 5 cents per barrel from the land owner, or is their god giving them some more money; Did "Student" pre diet that the market price of the world for the royalty of these farms would drop 5 cents per barrel as soon as they acquired the working interest. This however will lie cured as soon as the Farmers' organization is perfected and suits brought for conspiracy. During the year 1*'.17 they mixed or used 20,0ttJ,426 barrels of stink oil with '2!),'2K4, 1 111 barrels of high grade oil, and probably not one barrel of this mixture was sold under its true character The State of Pennsylvania should make it the duty of the oil inspectors to brand all mixtures of oil as such and Pennsylvania oil as pure Pennsylvania oil. Independent refiners, the robbing of the producers having been accomplish ed, your turn comes next. With the aquisition of so great a portion of the production,which it would cost no more to produce at $5 per barrel than at 05 cents, what is to hinder them fromhav ing "Student" prophesy that their god had given them a price list for your benefit and that he had dried up that wonderful lake of oil in Alaska which they had so vividly described in the pa pcrs as well as many other liesof won derful di.v. ove.rie of oil and putting the market at any price that would shut you out li" ve also ready buy cei tificates or credit balances enough to last you whilst your proportion of the stock on hand would last Remember that they had Lima oil made a good delivery on certificates, have certificates call for Pennsylvania oil, and the superiority of your oil will carry you through O.
