Subject to Republican Primary
Tuesday, March 22nd —1 to
soul to such an extent that he could no
longer restrain himself, and breaking
over all party rules and customs, sin
gled out Mr. .Moore as his target and
opened fire. Inasmuch, then, as Mr.
Robinson has seen proper to hold up
Mr. Moore's record in his unfair and
garbled way, we think it proper to
hold np, side by side, the record of both
men and then the people can decide for
for themselves who is the most faithful
servant.
Many years ago Mr. Robinson was a
candidate before the people for the Leg
islature. The main question before the
people then was, whether the State law
laving a tax of so much per ton on all
freight hauled over the Pennsylvania
Railroad should be repealed. Mr Rob
inson was against the repeal of the tax
law. and on that ground made his can
vass, and was elected. To be true to
his people he should have voted as he
canvassed, "against repeal," but when
he got to Harrisbnrg and came to act,
the record shows, he voted for the re
peal of the tonage tax law, just the op
posite of what he was elected to do.
How about Mr. Moore? He was el
ected to the Legislature, took his seat,
and the first bill of importance to re
quire his attention was a Pipe nine bill
that the oil people said affected their
interests. The bill was fought vigor
ously on both sides: Mr. Moore standing
bv and made the fight on the floor of
the House for his constituents, receiv
ing their hearty approval, and even
gaining compliments from the leaders,
011 the other side for his fairness in the
contest, and the ability with which he
made the tight. Mr. Robinson was on
the other side, against the people of his
County.
Another bill of importance to_ our
people was known as the "Woods
Water Bill" and of so much importance
was it that over fourteen hundred citi
zens of Butler signed a petition asking
our members to work and vote against
the bill, which Mr. Moore did. although
Thomas Robinson requested him to
vote for the bill, saying "the bill was
all right and should be passed. ''
Who best represents the people? Not
hard to answer.
Among the duties of the members in
the last session was the election of a U.
S. Senator. The people of Philadelphia
claimed the Senator and the conttst
narrowed down between Boise Penrose
and John Wanamaker. At first Mr.
Robinson was against Penrose,and gave
his reasons at length, saying in effect,
that Penrose was an nnfit man socially
and morally to represent the people in
the U. S. Senate, and said "as between
a man of the character of Penrose and
a superintendant of a Sunday School,
he"—Robinson, "would support the
man who run the Sunday School"—
(many of our readers will remember
the reasons in detail given by Mr. Rob
inson) and his paper.
The Eagle in its issue of June the
11th, 1896, (if we renumber the date.,
took ground in favor of Mr. Wana
maker. Mr. Robinson also stared, "the
members from Butler County, with the
good moral community behind them
/-orjld nnt tin 1»4 wi-ell the ' wu. ''''
maker," but strange to say in the face
of all this, when the tinife came to act,
Mr. Robinson had turned completely
around and said, "under all the circum
stances he believed the interests of But
ler County would be better cared for
by supporting Penrose." Peculiar man
this, what brought about this "change
of heart ?"
In our Hospital matter we have
another instance of how well Mr. Rob
inson serves (?) the people. That we
were and are badly in need of a Hospi
tal our people long knew. Mr. Robin
son and some others several years ago
f owned an organization, got a charter,
and applied to the Legislature for an
appropriation which was obtained.
$12,500 being appropriated on condition
that the Hospital people headed by Mr.
Robinson would raise SIO,(MM) to help
put up the buildings. Thus the matter
rested until the next Legislature met,
two years after the appropriation was
granted. No funds having been raised,
the appropriation lapsed, The next
Legislature was applied to and an ap
propriation of SIO,OOO passed both
houses, but wag vetoed by the Governor
on the ground that Mr. Robinson and
his party had not raised the money re
quired by the first appropriation law
and seemed to be making no effort to
raise the money. Thus matters rested
for some time, nothing being done and
the need of a Hospital becoming more
apparent every day. There appearing
to be nothing doing by Mr. Robinson
and his people, others stepped to the
front, among them a number of the
good women of our town, formed an
organization, got a charter, went to
work and in due time raised SIO,OOO,
Iwught and paid for a lot and began the
work of building. Then what do we
have? Mr. Robinson seems to wake
up, he is reminded he had a charter for
a Hospital, resurrects it, and when Mr.
Moore presents a bill to the Legislature
for an appropriation for maintenance oi
the new Hospital that was well under
way, Mr. Robinson has a bill presented
(if he can't get uubscriptions he will ap
ply for an appropriation) usks for sl4,
500, and keeps his bill as an obstruction
to the bill of those who are going ahead.
Mr. Robinson keeps up the tight along
the line, and in the Butler Times of
Augest 3rd, 1807, he has a column and
half article criticising the ladies and
others who by that time have the work
well underway, and after denying that
the ladies had raised the money claim
ed says, "I don't believe that Mr. Car
negie will ever give them a dollar, if he
has given them a qnaM promise it is
based on some colored statement that
the facts will not warrant," or in other
words that these good women, who met
Mr. Carnegie, had secured a subscrip
tion by false pretenses. Unkind in
Thomas to say so. He further says,
since the selection of this site, what are
the $6,000 subscriptions worth V < Certain
ly not worth fifty per cent, of ihe face
value." What are the facts? Notwith
standing Mr. Robinson's allegations the
subscription made by Mr. Carnegie was
paid in full, and all the rest, save one
or two small ones, and they will be
ini'.il in due time, and in the face of all
Mr. Robinson opposition, the Hospital
is nearing completion, presents a tine
appearance and will be agreat benefit
and credit to our town. When Mr
Moore had the bill appropriating $.">,000
for expenses of running the Hospital on
its way through the Legislature he was
met by Mr. Robinson's bill, and it re
mained an obstruction until it was
shown that there were no subscriptions
behind this bill, when it was laid aside
and the bill that had a Hospital well
underway behind it, finally passed
both houses and was in the hands of the
Governor. Even then Mr. Robinson
did not cease his obstruction but, as we
are informed, entered a protest with
the Governor against the bill, and it
was vetoed, and thus as Mr. Moore says
in his answer of last week
kept S.";,
Since Mr. Robinson has seen proper
to single out Mr. Moore from the other
candidates before the people and
through his Eagle has made an attack
on his record as a legislator, it is but
natural that a reply to the attack
should be made. Mr. Robinson s state
ment of Mr. Moore's record is so gar
bled, unfair, and dishonest, that we lay
before the prople a few extracts from a
few of many papers, which show the
estimate of other people on Mr. Moore's
standing in legislative work, without
regard to politics or factions. People
can then judge for themselves as to
the merits of Mr. Robinson's statement.
Here they are:
(From Prospect < 'orrcspondent in (Onno
quenessing Valley News.)
"The unwarranted attack that is be
ing made on J. N. Moore, who is a can
didate for assembly may eventually do
him more good than harm. When a
person's reputation is attacked, enquire
who is is doing it and what the motive
is."
And we might add, what hm record is.

"The Republicans of Butler connty
will hold their primaries on the 22d in -t.
and we note with pleasure the candida
cy of Hon. .rallies N. Moore for re elec

the House left a better record than Mr.
Moore. He was one of those who could
not be used by any clique or faction, or
swerved from" the right course when the
people's interests were at stake. Pie
was a useful member to his conptituents
for whose welfare he was always on
the alert, and as a new member he was
looked upon as one of the brightest on
the floor. Mr. Moore made himself pop

(From the Parker IMioonix)
"Hon. James N. Moore, of Butler is a
candidate for re nomination fur Assem
bly at the Republican primary election,
which will be held in that county m
the 22nd, instant. We have no desire
to officiously interfere in the politics of
an adjoining county; but in thisease of
Mr. Moore, it may justly be said that
he has rendered,not only hisown connty,
but the Commonwealth at large such
signal service during the two termsdnr
ing which he has been a member of our
Legislature, that we now feel warrant
ed in claiming him for the whole state.
We congratulate our sister county on
having had such a wide-awake, energet
ic, and capable representative; and will
just take occasion, at this time, to say
that our brethcrn across the line will be
very recreant to their own interests and
welfare, if they should be so unwise as
to turn him down. In looking way
back along the long list of representa
tives from that connty, we fail to call
to mind eyen one, than whom Mr.
Moore was not more efficient as a legis
lator. If our neighbors ""know a good
thing, when they have it," Mr. Moore
will be re nominated and re-elected."

(Froiu The Forest Itepublieun, June :!0, IM'7.)
Perhaps the country members didn't
score a home run this week in the
House! For two years past, Senator
Walter Merrick of Tioga connty, has
given his best energies to solving the
question of how to secure a more just
and equitable distribution of the State
appropriation to the Common Schools
After weeks and months of study and
hard labor, and, I might say, a demand
from those high in political authority,
aid in this piece of justice, Senator Mer
rick succeeded, wheie every other at
tempt had failed, in passing such a bill
through the Senate. It came over to
the Houso, and, as Chairman of 1•
Committee on Education, it naturally
went into the hands of Mr. Hammond
of Westmoreland, for passage through
the House. That gentleman very
prompty proved himself wholly inad
equate to the task, by his advice to the
House to accept two or three amend
meats proposed by Philadelphia's oldest
member, Mr. Stewart, which in effect
would have nullified the intent of the
bill, and given to the country n store
instead of the bread they had asked for.
■Tim Moore, of Butler, than whom there
is no brighter member in the House,
readily "caught on," and his objection
prevented the amendments from tie ing
inserted in the bill. From this time on
the hill was in Moore's charge. "The
little independent cuss." as he is often
referred to. successfully guided the bill
through the House against heavy odds.
It required backbone, and if Jim hasn't
anything else in this world, no one who
knows him will deny that he has an
abundance of that. The bill was bit
terly fought by the who
have for years past had a very unequal
share of this money, and as a last lesort
to kill the bill they attempted filibuster
ing tactics, but these were promptly
shut off by a motion for the "previous
qustwn. which shuts off further de
bate. When this motion was made the
consternation of the opfionents of the
bill Was plainly seen. Evidently Speak
«r Boyer saw the justice ol' the fight of
the country membership and promptly
put the question, which was carried in
line form. Under the provisions of this
bill Forest county ought to get from
$2,000 to £S,Od "their approval," I was not after,
did not want, and would not have tak
en a position for onr county, had it
been offered me. and the statement of
"Citizen' pbove quoted is a deliberate
falsehood I went there of my own
accord, to look on at the organization of
the Legislature, which was a stormy
one, and lam glad to say, both our
members came out of it with good rec
ords, the approval of their constiUv
wElcli is more than some members of
the Legislature can say when they
come away from Harrisburg.

As to tlic Date of the Primary.
FOXBURG. MARCH 15.1898.
ED. CITIZEN— iMir Sir: I wish to
answer some articles printed accusing
our present members of the legislature,
J. N. Moore and John Dindinger as
dictating and demanding an early date
for the prijnarips. I made the motion
for the day that was agreed too, and if
Mr. Moore and Mr. Dindinger dictated
and demanded it 1 think I should have
known it. Mr. Moore said to me "make
it next week or next September I don't
care when." Mr. Dindinger did not
mention the primary to me nor I to
ban.
I think Mr. Mechling is entitled to
mother guess as to why he withdrew, as
well as a few others who withdrew.
1 made a plain statement why I wish
ed for an eajiy date, and a good majori
ty of the County Committee sustained
the motion.
1 would feel very sorry if I thought 1
had done any one an injustice, but
think what is good for the goose is not
bad for the gander.
A mid-winter campaign wont be any
more frosty than a mid-summer
campaign for those who don't have
votes enough.

longing to his son Harry, aged 1(5 years.
Harry had been at Ehvood looking for
work and was on his way home when
he was killed. His parents were un
easy about hint being away so long and
after they received a letter from
Ehvood stating he had left for hom;
they feared something had befallen him.

was-imperfect and hence not noticed by

Last Sunday morning at five o'clock
o'clock then 1 was a terrific gas explosion
in Zelienople, completely wrecking the
two story brick residence of Charles
Goehring on Main street. The report
was heard for miles, many windows
were shaken in Harmony nearly two
miles away. Many at first thought that
safe blowers were in town. Fire im
mediately was the cry for the debris
had caught lire. The fire comyany was
on the scene in due time and succeeded
in extinguishing the flames which other
wise would have destroyed much prop
erty. Mr. and Mrs. C. Goehring were
tne only persons sleeping in the house
at the time of the explosion. They were
in the front room of the second story
in a bed which was pitched nearly to
the ceiling and the side wall and win
dows of the room were blown out, yet
they miraculously escaped unhurt. One
half of both stories of the rear wall was
blown out and all the windows. Many
windows of the adjoining houses were
broken. Blum's shoe store was dam
aged by a brick wall falling against
it, throwing all his goods in a heap on
the floor and breaking down the floor
and all the glass in the building. Mr.
Goehring was awake one hour before
the explosion and all was well. A low
fire was left burning in the grate of the
front room in the first story, also a jet
in the room in which they slept. Prob
ably the grate fire went out and after
ward filled the ffrst .s^v,,
wGien was burning in the second story.
The building was worth $3,500 and was
insured.

In the face of Liberty.

Men witli homes destroyed and gone.

Will stretch down a helping hand
With omnipotent demand
For Cuba's Liberty?

For freedom and humanity.
