To THE REPUBLICANS OP BUTLER I

Having accepted a position
with the Pittsburg Oil Co., I find it
necessary to withdraw from the con

with sincere thanks for the encourage
ment and many proffers of support. 1
remain. Yours Truly

13 Short.
At Thursdoy's joint session 218 votes
were cast, and Quay still lacked 13
votes of an election.
During the day the Magee jury bill
was passed by the Senate, but an in
tended effort to pass it or something
like it in the House was spoiled by an
adjournment.
Fridays's vote was 50, 45, 12, 5, etc..
130 in all. Quay still 13 short. Guffy
Jenks and Sibley had gone home, but
intended to return. Sibley insisied that
he was not in Harrisbnrg to divide the
Democrats or to turn them to Quay.
His lieutenants, who are largely
employes of the Standard Oil Company,
thought they saw very much unrest
among the Democrats, who are gnash
ing their teeth at the dictation of
Senator Flinn. This would read well if
it were true.
The new Constables' Fee bill passed
the House that day, and was the first
bill to become a law. It was designed
to affect the fees of the newly elected
constables.
On Saturday but fifteen members at
tended the joint session and the vote
was—lo, 4, 1. Nearly all the members
were paired until 4 P. M. of Wednes
day.
On Monday but 14 members attend
ed the joint session, and the onlj gossip
going related to the Pittsbnrg charter
bil_l introduced by the Democrats.
In tbe House there was nulbing to do
and nobody to do anything, so they
made the prayer of extra length. Speak
er Pro Tern Seal, of Dauphin, found it
difficult to secure an escort for the
senate, but he finally selected two lauie
men, Deyarmon and Meals.
Gov. Stone and family were at At
lantic City.
On Tuesday but sixteen members at
tended the joint convention; the head
quarters of the rival forces were re
opened. there was some talk of another
caucus by the Democrats; and among
Republicans Chief Justice Sterrett was
mentioned as a compromise candidate
for U. S. Senator.
At yesterday's joint session but 82
votes were cast. No effort was made
to transact business in either house.
WHEN a train is rounding a curve, |
the ordinary locomotive headlight j
points off into a surrounding country,
and is useless. A mechanical engineer
of a Westetn railway deviwd an
attachment by means of which the
light is maintained in line with the
track. The light is mounted on a turn
table which is rotated through the pro
per by a cable passing «around
pulleys and leading to the two piston
rods of a small double-action air eyjin
der. The motion of the piston is regn
lated by a valye in the cab, the air
pressure being taken from the air brake
system. The headlight turns on in
clines so arranged that when the head
light travels up the incline it will have
bearings on the two quarters on which
it travels. The object of this is to re
turn the headlight to its noTiuai posi
tion automatically when the air is re
leased. The device has been practical
ly tested. Scientific American.

"BELIEVING that the teaching and
practice of polygamy is an act of rebel
lion against the laws of the Govern-
B. H. Roberts, Congressman-elect from
Utah, is guilty, we. therefore, as a con
gregation, do hereby declare our opposi
tion to the seating of said 8.-H. Roberts
in the House of Representatives of the
Government of the United States.
The foregoing is the meat of a resolu
tion passed last Sunday by the congrega
tion of the Reorganized Church of Jesus
Christ of the Latter Day Saints, who

AT a banquet in Boston, Thursday
night. President McKinley spoke of thp
Philippines, Cuba and Porto Rico as a
trust committed to our care by God.
The following extracts from his speech
show its import.
*
' The Philippines, like Cuba and
Porto Rico, were intrusted to our hands
by the war,and to that great trust, un
der the providence of God and in the
name of human progress anil civiliza
tion. we are committed. It is a trust
we have not sought; it is a trust
from which we will not flinch. The
American people will hold up the hands
of their servants at home to whom they
commit its execution, while Dewey and
Ottis and the brave men whom they
command, will havo the support of the
country in upholding our flag where it
now floats, the symbol and assurance of
liberty and justice.
* - *

"The other suggestions—First, that
they should be tossed into the arena of
contention for the strife of nations; or
second, be left to the anarchy and chaos
of no protectorate at all, were too
shameful to be considered. The treaty
gave them to the United States.
* *
#
• The future of the Philippine islands
is now in the hands of the American
people. Until the treaty wa<i ratified
or rejected the executive department of
this government could only preserve the
peace and protect life and property.
That treaty now commits the free and
enfranchised Filipinos to the guiding
hand and the liberalizing influences,
the generous sympathies, the uplifting
education, not of their American mas
ters, but of their American emancipa
tors.
"No one can tell to-day what is best
for them or for us. I know no one at
this hour who is wise enough or suffi
ciently informed to determine what
form of government will best subserve
their interests and our interests, their
and our well being.
* »
"Until congress shall direct otherwise,
it will be the duty of the executive to
possess and hold the Philippines, giving
to the people thereof peace and order
and beneficent government, according
them every opportunity to prosecute
their lawful pursuits, encouraging them
in thrift and industry, making them
feel and know that we are their friends,
not their enemies, that their good is our
aim, that their welfare is our welfare,
but that neither their aspirations nor
ours can be realized until our authority
is acknowledged and unquestioned.

"I have no light or knowledge not
common to my countrymen. I do not
prophesy. The present is all-absorbing
to me, but I cannot bonnd my vision by
the blood-stained trenches around Ma
nila, where every red drop, whether
from the veins of aw American soldier
or a misguided Filipino, i- anguish to
my heart; but by the broad range ol
future years, when that group of islands
under the impulse of the year just past,
shall have become the gems and glories
of those tropical seas, a land of plenty
and of increasing possibilities, a people
redeemed from savage indolence and
habits, devoted to the arts of peace, in
touch with the commerce and '< Hide of
all nations, enjoying the blessings of
freedom, of civil and religious liberty,
of education and of homes, and whose
children and children's children shall
for ages hence bless the American re
public because it emancipated and re
deemed their fatherland and set them
in the pathway of the world's best civil
ization.''
FOR several years the Chicago Tri
bune has kept tab on tiie crimes and
casualties of this country. Here are
some of the grim totals for 1898; Death-?
from disasters of various kinds, 7,343.
The number of suicides w,«c 8,520, a
decrease of 1,000 compared with each of
the two preceding years. The number
of mnrders was 7,840, being a decrease
of 2,812 from 1897. The lynching ag
irreuatfed 137.0f which 102 were
23 whites and 2 Indians. In the-matter
of charities, the gifts of which a record
could be made up amounted to $23,984,-

1897.
«That ltirtl Hook.
At Harrisbnrg. last Saturday morn
ing. Judge McPherson gave his opinihn
in the case of Clarence M. Buscli. ex-
State Printer, vs. Thomas M. Jones,
Superintendtnt of Public Printing and
Binding, a proceeding in which Mr.
Busch sought to compel Mr. Jones to
approve the payment of *55.002.85 for
printing an alleged pamphlet on the
"Enemies and Diseases of Poultry."
This pamphlet originally contained
128 pastes and cost $4.V,U4. As reprint
ed by Mr. Bnsch. from copy furnished
by subordinates in the Agricultural
Department, it contained 800 printed
pages and 131 costly illustrations, of
which 95 are full-page colored litho
graphs. When Mr. Busch presented
his bill to Mr. Ji}n«« the Superintend
ent promptly refused 10 pay i'_ for the
reason that the ccpy had not 'feone
through his hands, nor through the
bands of his predecessor, nor had the
work been o*ui>red bv the head of the
department. Mr Jcn«s also refused to
approve the bill because tliexc vern u
number of things in the book that were
irrelevant and to his mind were only
placed there to till it out and add to the
cost. Tiw most potent reason for re
fusal, however, w«n that this was not a
reproduction of the original ppmphlet
as ordered to be reprinted by tiie l.egis
lature.
1 Air. Buscli brought imif figainst Mr.
Jones to compel him to approve bill
and the case was tried last December
before Judge Simonton and McPherson.
Judge McPherson delivered his opinion
today, in which Li. f-'ill y sustained Mr.
Jones' jtositiqn and touches briefly on
the objections raised by tne fornix'

Banquet <>•' tlio "•" Vssociation.
The third annual lianqnet of the Bnt
ler Bar Association held Thursday even
ing last was one of the most pleasant
events in its history.
Col. Archibald Blakeley of Pittsburg
was the guest of honor and, proceeding
the banquet, made an address in the
Court House on the Butler Bar of
Fifty Years Ago. John H. Negleyin
troduced to the audience Col. Blakeley.

After the address, the attorneys, their
wives and ladies, proceeded to the Ho
| tel Lowry where they partook of an ex
cellent menu. Music was furnished by
Messrs Ed. and Alf. Gnmpher and
Hindman. After the supper Attorney
J. M Thompson responded to the toast.
• The Young Lawyer;" A. G. Williams
was to sing a song, but put in a special
plea of "sore throat;" T. C. Campbell
toasted The Court;" S. F. Bowser,
"TheLawj-er of Today;" ISewton Black.
"Expansion;" J. M. Galbreatli. The

Press J. D. McJunkin spoke briefly
and Col. Blakeley presented to the Bar
Association nicely framed copie„ of
"The Butler Palladium and Republican
Star," of April IT, 1810, the "Butler Re
pository," of July 5, 1831 and a liquor
license granted by Gov. Simon Snyder
to Jacob Mechling.
On motion of W. D. Brandon a unan
imous vote of thanks was tendered Mr.
Blakeley for his gift and on motion of
Mr. Williams to Messrs McCafferty &
McCrea and their corps of assistants for
their splendid repast and service. The
banqueters then dispersed hoping to
meet again a year hence.
Col. Blakeley was born and raised in
this county, on Glade Run, and on the
farm now owned by his brother An
ffrew Bttttretey. tn now rorwarct Twp.
In 1850 he began the study of law here
and was admitted to the Bar in 185-.
In 1853 he was elected District Attor
ney of the county and filled that office
for three years. When the war of the
Rebellion came soon after, he enlisted
and was in service to near its end. He
then lived in Franklin Pa., for a while,
but soon settled in Pittsburg, and has
since been practicing law there. He
was married in this place in 18->4, to
Miss Susan D. Mechling. daughter of
the late Hon. Jacob Mechling", Jr. ana
thus was connected with one of the pio
neer families of our town. His wife
died in Pittsburg some years ago and lie
had her remains brought and laid in
the Lutheran Cemetery (south) of this
place. We mention this as it may ac
count, to some extent for the regard
that Col. Blakely has for his old home,
Butler. . .
Col. Blakeley's remarks were princi
pally directed towards an account of
thfc Butler Bar, and its different mem
bers when he was admitted. IHS~. In
this he gave some interesting remi
niscences.and told some amusing stories
of some of the members of the Bar of
those days. Altogether his address was
instructive and uinch enjoyed.
THE Spanish Cortes had a lively ces
sion on Monday of this week. The pro
posal of ti.e goyernment to refer the
bill ceding the Philippines to the Unit
ed States to a special committee
brought on a tumult, during which
one member wanted to know why cer
tain Spanish geneials were not shot.
Funny Wu Tung,
The amiable Chinese Minister to the
United States, Wu Tung Fang, was
asked at Washington, for a sentiment'
appropriate to Washington's birthday,
and he courteously responded by dic
tating the following:
"George Washington is one of the
few exalted characters which history
has to offer as inspiring examples to
people of every clime. What I admire
most in Washington, is the entire sub
ordination of his personal ambition to
the public welfare. The love of power
which is almost innate to every man,
seems in his case to have been con
trolled by a higher sense rn public duty.
Thus he surrendered the supreme com
mand of the American army without a
sigh; he retired from the Chief Magis
tracy of the nation simply because he
considered it inconsistent with the
country'* good to remain longer in
power
"How diffex-ent wt>re the motives
that governed the actions of such nien
as Cromwell and others when once they
had tasted the intoxicating pleasures of
power! They were great soldiers and
statesmen, indeed; but they have not
left a memory to their countrymen
which is held with universal gratitude
and pride.
"I can recall at this moment only opt
historical personage that can stand any
comparison with Washington. That is
Emperor Shun. The renowned mon
arch ruled over the Chinese people at
the first dawn of Chinese history, and
led the nation from barbarism into civ
ilization. To this day Chinese histor
ies still refer to the period of his reign
ali the Golden Age of the Chinese peo
ple, and the Kmperors of the succeeding
dvnasties have never ceased to look to
him as a worthy example for them to
follow. He was called from the plow
to lead the people through a trying
crisis. So well did he perform the high
but onerous duties imposed upon him
that 4,000 years have not been able to
dim thi- memory which his grateful
countryman hold of him. In the char
acter of the two wen— Sljni) and Wash
ington—there seems to mo a common
liken ess."

THE presence of Hon. Joseph Sibley
at Hnrnsburg clears away some of the
surprise occasioned by his overwhelm
ing defeat of Hon. C. W. Stone in the
Venango district last fall. Congress
men Stone had the temerity io be a can
didate for Governor when Senator Quay
had promised the nomination to W. A.
Stone. After the nomination C. W.
Stone threatened to kick over the traces
on account of the manner in which his
defeat had been secured. Shortly after
that iv (lirtdatisfoolioii of his course iu
Congress began to manifest itself in bis
district, ostensibly at his treatment of
old soldiers in filling postoflices. etc.
The Oil City Derrick, a strong Quay
paper. led the fight against Stone. Hon.
'Joseph Sibley was brought out and won
in a canter. Now his appearance at
Harrisburg in the interest of Senator
Qnay lets the cat oat of the bag. There
can be no doubt but what Senator Quay
was at the bottom of the fight against
C. W. Stone, and that his defeat is ow
ing to Senator Quay's orders being
carried out by Quay leaders in the dis
trict. Joseph Sibley is simply repaying
Quay now.—<Kittanning Times.

She was taken there last Monday even

' I her hand a bottle of olives, and in the
' carriage were a larsre telescope satchel

her without any possessions but the

soon follow, and it will be one of the
