Victory for Decent Politics.
The defeat of William H. Andrews
for a Republican Legislative nomina
tion in Allegheny County is a result of
the primary elections of last Saturday
which every conscientious Republican
in the State can regard with honest sat
isfaction. It is a triumph of decency in
politics and a wholesome condemnation
of the worst methods of Qnayisin which
have for years debauched the party
This occurred in a district which has
always been obedient to Mr. Quay s
demands. It was represented in the
last Legislature by two members who
looked to Mr. Quay for their orders on
all questions instead of to their constit
uents. and that constituency has now
asserted its own right to be represented
by nominating two candidates who will
not only not take orders from Mr.
Quay, but are uncompromisingly oppos
ed to him, to his election to the United
States Senate, and to the methods of
Quayism.
The result of Saturday s primaries
is the nomination of thirteen anti-Quay
members and two anti-Quay Senators,
who with one hold-07er Senator will
make sixteen of the nineteen Republi
cans from the county opposed to Quay
ism, leaving only three votes out of the
whole delegation for Mr. Quay, and one
of these. Senator Muehlbronner. will
justly be regarded as very uncertain to
go that way until some authoritative
declaration is made by him on the snb
ject. In the contest against Andrews
he took his place with the friends of de
cent politics. It is even possible that
the whole Allegheny delegation may be
united when the time comes.
The good effect of the Allegheny re
suit cannot be overestimated. It means
not only a delegation nearly unanimous
against Mr. Quay, but equally unani
mous for decent legislation, for honest
laws, for honest elections, and for meas
ures intended for the benefit of the
people and the State and not for special
and personal interests. The Allegheny
Republicans have done the Common
wealth an important 6ervice.—Phii'a
Press of Monday.

was polled at the Democratic primaries
in this county last Saturday. M. L.
Lock wood was nominated for Congress:
P. R. Burke for State Senate; J. H.
Wilson and Geo. Tasker for Assembly
and Adam Nicklass for Jury Commis
sioner. The Lockwood faction controll
ed the convention hy a vote of 31 to 25.

legheny Co. last Saturday, Quay'sosten
tationslieutenant, W. H. Andrews, and

The nominee for senator in the Forty
fifth district and the nominees in the
Third, Fifth, Sixth, Seventh and Eighth
Legislative district#, a total of 12, all of
whom will be elected,were instructed to
vote against M. S. Quay for United
States senator and pledged to favor laws
to secure honest elections. 'ln the Sev
enth and Eighth legislative district con
ventions and the Forty-fifth Senatorial
district convention a resolution was
adopted giving unqualified approval to
the action of Senator William Flinn, of
the Forty-fourth district, in opposing
M. S. Quay and expressing confidence
in the ability, intergity and leadership
of Senator Flinn.''
Westmoreland county Republicans
hold their primaries next Saturday, and
the anti-Quayites are confident of suc
cess, but they may bump against some
tremendous Octopus, like we did here.
The Washington Co. urimarv comes
on Saturday, the 14th. and the Standard

On Tuesday, (April 3d) tbe day agreed
upon to take up the Quay case in the U.

Till-] A Fit IC AN WAR.
According to dispatches from Petoria,
dated last Saturday, the English array
had l>egun its advance northward from
Bloemfontein. The Boers were mad
abont the transportation of prisoners to
St. Helena, and were threatening to
send their prisoners to Koomatipoort.
an unhealthy place.
Mafeking was holding out against its
besiegers. The Boers were disnnting
the advance of the English, and a great
battle was expected any day. (irders
were received at Cape Town to disem
bark the Hth Division and send it north
to the front.
On Tuesday news came to London of
the disaster to Col. Broad wood's regi
ment, which was caught in a trap as it
was retreating from an advanced posi
tion, east of Bl<emf<>ntein. near the water
works on the Modder, and lost 850 men
and a battery of artillery.
IT might be painful to sit down on
the Porto Rico tax, but it should be
done.

Centennial Celebration.
The Executive Committee of the
coming Centennial had a very interest
ing meeting at the office of the Chair
man on last Friday evening. A very
full attendance was present and the fol
lowing matters were considered and
disposed of.
First, a simpler mode of disbursing
the funds collected for the Centennial
was deemed expedient and the f< blow
ing resolution was adopted on that sub
ject;
"Resolved; That (the present person
designated as Treasurer consenting
thereto) the Chairman of the Finance
Committee, L J. McCandless, be and is
her«-by empowered to act as said Treas
urer of said funds, and to pay out and
apportion the same to and among the
different other committees according to
their requirements and according to
the amount of said funds secured; and
to receive estimates from said other
committees of their probable needs, and
also make contracts for any other work,
labor or material that may be found
necessary for said Centennial; ;eping
an account ot all said monies collected
and taking receipts for all so paid out
by him. and report progress in same to
this Committee not later than May 1.
coming."
HISTORIANS AND SPEAKERS.
The Committee then considered the
matter of historians and speakers for the
Centennial, and after full discussion of
that matter it was resolved to refer the
same to the present committee appoint
ed on "Invitations and Receptions, that
Committee to be requested to meet at
an early date, organize and select sub
jects and speakers, send invitations to
all old Butler County citizens deemed
proper, asking their presence, and as
signing any of them to any duty deem
ed advisable. The proceedings of this
committee will be made public as soon
as held and reported to the Executive
Committee.
The subject of music for the Centen
nial was next considered resulting in
the adoption of a resolution appointing
three of a committee to take charge of
the matter, determine all and what
music should lie had, with the probable
cost of same and make report to the
chairman of the Finance Committee of
said probable cost at as early date as
possible. The opinion of the Executive
Committee was that the bands and
musical organizations of this county
alone should be employed, if at all prac
ticable. R. C. McAboy, Aaron E. Rei
ber and Frank X. Kohler were appoint
ed the Committee to which the whole
matter of music was referred to for ac
tion.
Some other matters of minor interest
were referred to the Chairman of the
Executive Committee and it then ad
journed to meet nt the call of the Chair
man.

[ln memory of our sister by F. M.
Cramer. ]
Oh, how hard to say farewell
To our loving sister Nell,
But while in sorrow here we weep
We remember, in Jesus, she has fallen
asleep.
In the mansion that Jesus has gone to
prepare
Safe at home forever there
Free from sorrow and earthly care,
For suffering and death can not enter '
there.
With that innumerable host arrayed in j
pure white.
Where no storms ever come, and there j
is no night,
With the saints and the seraphs, so!
dazzling and bright,
They need not a candle, for God is the
light.
Of the glories of heaven in God's word
we are told.
Of a beautiful city, whose streets are
pure gold.
The gates of that city are pearls pure
and bright,
And the saints are arrayed in garments
of white.
With crowns on their heads and with
harps in their hands,
In the presence of Jesus, forever they
stand.
And the mansions of heaven forever
shall ring.
With the song of redemption and praise
to our King.
Of the glories of heaven futhennore we
are taught.
How Paul the apostle to the third
heaven was caught.
Of the visions he saw and language so
sweet
Twas unlawful for man on the earth to
repeat.
Of the glories of heaven what pen can
describe 't
Not the priest, or the prophet, or most
learned scribe.
Mortal eye hath not seen, or ear ever
beard
Of the glory reserved for the people of
God.
In the mansions above, with that num
berless thong,
With the saints and the seraphs to sing
the new song.
A song that perhaps the angels can't
sing, ✓
Who have not been redeemed through
Jesus, our King.
O, the home of the Father! How won
dronsly sweet,
Her children and parents and loved ones
to greet.
In the mansions of heaven, how many
she'll find,
While waiting for those she has left be
hind.
For the sake of the sorrowing, our own
blessed Lord.
Told John, his disciple, to write in his
word,
"Blessed are thoy who die in the Lord."
To the husband and children, who
dwell here below.
If they're faithful to Jesus, sometim-'
they will go,
To greet the dear loved one who has
goue on before,
Who is waiting for them, on that beau
tiful shore.
