Tlie Industrial Commission. .The proceedings before the Industrial Commission have lately been of local interest. The Commission was created at the instance of Thomas W. Phillips, when he represented this district in Congress, and Mr. Phillips is its Chairman. Sometime ago Mr. Lock wood, of Zelienople, appeared before the Commis sion and read a paper in which he scored the railroad companies for help ing to build up the Standard Oil Co.. by giving it rebates or better freight rates than it gave the other oil companies. Then two of the principal officers of the Standard testified that the Pure Oil Co., of which Mr. Phillips is a member, is just as much of a "trust as the Standard Oil Co., and Mr. Phillips had to acknowledge that the Pure Oil Co., is a voting trust, organized to prevent the Standard from securing possession of their pipe line by buying their stock, as it came near doing through Col. Carter. The Standard men also assert ed that Mr. Phillips had attempted to secure a combination with them, which he also acknowledged as happening after or during the Carter incident, when it looked as though the Standard had downed them. Mr. Phillips read a paper beforo the Commission last Saturday, explanatory of the doings of his company, and Mr. Lockwood published an interview Mon day, in which he calls Archbold of the Standard a "lusty old liar," et<;. There was some talk of Mr. Phillips resigning his place in the Commission, and of the Commission quitting busi ness, but as its proceedings are enlight ening the public as to the doings of corporations, great and small, and as these great corporations, with the aid of managing politicians, like Piatt and Quay, who "stand in" with them, haye for years dominated the legislatures of the two great states of New York and Pennsylvania, and also some of the smaller ones like New Jersey, the Commission should continue its good work. ~ POLITICAL. Dr. Showalter was in town last week, and it is understood that he is a can didate for a third term in Congress At Washington, Pa.. Monday, John F. Budke was nominated for State Sen ator, to succeed the late Col. Hawkins. A move of Congressman Acheson's, which puzzled his friends at the time, was his going into the Republican com mittee meeting on a proxy and propos ing an amendment to the rales by which the names of all candidates for National and State officers are to be submitted to the people at the primary election. This amendment was adopted without an op posing vote. Congressman Acheson says he intends to retire voluntarily from the "boss business." and that hereafter the Re publicans of Washington county should have an opportunity to express them selves on the candidacy of every aspir ant for public favor. Under this rale Senator Quay's name will be submitted to the Republican voters of the county at the primaries next year. Unless there is a radical revolution in the sentiment between now and next spring, Quay cannot get one fifth of the Repub lican vote of Washington county. THE Boer Republic of South Africa has again positively refused to recognize the English authority to make demands effecting the internal government of the Republic, though expressing a willing ness to make some concessions to British request. The Cabinet may either de clare war, or assume a different atti tude. Its diplomacy has been outwitted by the wily Boers, who have thrown the burden upon English shoulders. Not only that, but Great Britain is taunted with the proposition to submit the dispute to arbitration, for which it took the lead at the recent peace confer ence at The Hague. I'hilli[M on Trusts. Washington, Sept. 19. —The assertion made by Industrial Ommissioner Ken nedy, that he does not like to associate with an octopus while he is investigat ing trusts, does not set well upon Vice Chairman Phillips, against whom it was directed. Mr. Phillips returned from his home at New Castle this morning. "Itispret ty tough," said Mr. Fhillips, "to becall ed an octopus, and represented as lieing in a greater trust than the Standard is by the Standard Oil Trust and,"its friends Everyone at all acquainted with the facts in the struggle between the inde pendent producers and refiners knows that the voting trust in the Pure Oil •Company was formed for the sole rea son that it was necessary to prevent it from being wrecked by the Standard. "I did not ask for appointment as a member of the commission and I will not ask to be relieved of the duties of a member. If the President asks me to resign the reason for the request will be published. "The Standard and its friends are talking as if the only purpose in having the commission created was to investi gate trusts. That, however, is but an incident, although, owing to the proiui nence of trusts, it has become a pretty big incident." Butler County Pomona.

Y The County Centennial. The following extract from a letter on the proposed celebration of the Cen tennial of Butler county will explain it self. The views of the writer are those heard most frequently since the matter has lieen mentioned. SAKVERSVILLE, SKPT. 19, 181 W. JOHN 11. NK(;I,KY, Est^: DEAR SIR—YOU had a communica tion in the CITIZEN a few weeks ago in which you spoke of and favored a Centennial celebration for Butler coun ty. I hope it will be held, and just as soon as by the most liberal construction of historical dates the county can be honestly counted to be 100 years old. Have it, if we can, next year. IIMN*. It is a centennial year at any rate. If the ancients could haye their Jubilee every 50 years we ought to have one at least every 1«M) years. The sooner the better, before all are dead who have a personal recollection of Butler county as it was 40 or 50 years aifo and who had an acquaintance with the early settlers. Yours truly, M. N. GREEK. A Surprint I'artj. A surprise party given Sept, 18th in honor of Miss Myrtle Kneiss of near Middle Lancaster was attended by fifty or mora of her young friends.

Until God shall call us Into his home of rest. Shall we but wait the summons. And trust to be -so blest. Oh. how sad our aching hearts! Since parting with one so loved. Ever faithful, ever kind Never doubting God's great love; But trusting him in all things here. At last to reign with Him alrnve. Upward may our thoughts be turned, God's will may we know and do So Heaven at last may be our home. JEN NIK. OBITUA RY. C. A.
