Before another issue of the CITIZEN the Republicans of this county will have had the privilege of exercising the right of franchise, and either Mr. McKinley, or Mr. Bryan will be elected to the highest office in the United States. Mr. McKinley has been severely tried dur ing his term of office, and though he has made a few mistakes has always been for America and Americans. No man since the days of Lincoln, has been con fronted with wch serious problems of government as he, and he and his advis ers have carefully guarded the interests of the American people. What has Mr. Bryan, and those as sociated with him done, or what evi dence have they given of their capacity to govern? What warrant have we but their own promises, that the men who would constitute the next administra tion, Cif the change be made, are com petent to perform the great and difficult duties of government ? What proof has Mr. Bryan ever given of capacity in public affairs? While he has eloquently expounded many theories, have any of his theories that have been ptit to the test proved to be correct? And in all his multitude of sy»eeches there is nothing but disparagement for everything that is done in our country. Vote for McKinley and continued prosperty. As for our local ticket, Mr. Showalter is a i»opnlar and ahle man and as we /nay need every vote in Congress next winter, no Republican shonld fail to vote for him For State Ornate and Assembly- Messrs Williams, Mates and Thompson were nominated after a bitter contest, lint as no "kick" was made attheConn ty O/nvention, they are the undisputed nominees of the party, and entitled to the fnil party vote. It will be remem bered, also, that two years ago Quay's adherents here kept in line and voted for antiQnay nominees One good tnrn deserves another and so— vote the straight ticket. Thk census bnrean announces the to- tal population of the United Htates in 1900 to lie 70,295,220, of which 74,627, 907 are contained in the 45 States and 1,667,313 in the Territories. The latter figures include 184,158 Indiana not tax ed. The total population in 185)0 was 63, 069,766, a gain in population of 18,- 225,464 during the past ten years, an in crease of nearly 21 per cent. New York leads the states with 7,268,000; Pennsyl vania is second with 6,301,000; then Illi nois with 4,021.00, Ohio with 4,157,000, Texas with 3,048,000 and Missouri 3,- 107.000, while Massachusetts, Georgia, Indiana, lowa,Kentucky and Tennessee each have over 2.000,000. POLITICAL. Great Industrial Parade in Pittsburg Saturday. Oov. Roosevelt was th<- central figure last Friday night, of the greatest Re publican demonstration ever made in New York, and fifty thonsand peoj>le crowded into Madison Square arid Garden to see and hear him. The tower or the garden was illuminated with myriads of tiny incandescent lights, while red, white and blue lights blazed from the several stories of the big build ing. Brilliant fountains and showers of sparks were sent off from all sides of the, park, each one apparently surpass ing the one preceding. Th«; llloi|ueiit Facts. Apropos to the Bryanite inqai ry of four year* ago: "Where will you get the gold t" the Treasury statement dls closes the tart that the Treasury now has the largest amount of gold it ever held a total of 1451,477,404. With that large amount "locked uj> in the Treasury," as onr cheap money friends are. wont to say, business is yet active and money not excessively tight. Compare these conditions with those of four years ago, when the Bryan free coinage of silver threat hung over the land and the •access of his canvass was feared. It was difficult to keep the gold reserve, and money was not in supply to meet the slight demands of almost paralyzed business, Color was lent to the Bryan argument, that silver coinage was necessary to keep up the currency supply. !.)■*•* anyone want letter reasons for continuing Republican a-lralnistr/ition for another four years? Does anyone need better reasons for not wanting to return to Democratic rule, or for de siring to put an end. once for all, to the menaces of Bryanism? Dispatch. ON Fri'lay lant. the strike In the liard coal rc«iou wan called off for minen at, which the ten jier cent. advance wan pouted, ana by Monday nearly all the miners were working. ltiitler Count j Home forthe Poor. The latter half of last w. ek the poor throughout the county were transferred by the overseers to the custody of the County Commissioners and Sapt. Joseph Graham at the County Home, and to the surprise of all. although probably ,y«> people have been receiving aid from the poor boards, only 3- entered the poor house, and one of them, a crippled youth named Howard Goehring was discharged Monday evening, having ob tained work in Wo. Mitchell's restaur ant. Butler borough had at least 150 paupers, but only four went to the pc >r house. This shows that the poor, ex cept when old yt crippled, have some h jpe of making livings for themselves and would rather try it than surrender themselves up as inmates of a home. Winter will probably drive many more into shelter. As each pauper was received he or she was -given a thorough bath, their clothes, if worthless, were burned and if wearable were washed clean. This is a sanitarv measure. Large qnantities of plain "durable underwear, clothing and bedding have been provided. Each pauper s name is entered in a register together with his age, settle ment, place of nativity, occupation, education, cause of impoverishment, etc The names, ages and settlement of each entered are as follows: Susan Douglas, 73 years old, and Vary Christy, 82, of Washington town ship: Lavina" Allen, colored, aged 50, and her two children Bertha-and Re becca Jane,aged 14 and 12 Forward Jane S.

In all 17 females and 21 male 3. Nancy Edwards is probably the oldest person in the county and her great age is said by Supt. Graham to be correct. Mrs. Cracks weighs 310 pounds. John Williams of Harmony, a native |of Ireland, is ill and feeble and his death is momentarily looked for. James McCurdy states that his wife and children were all drowned in the Butcher* Run flood in 1878. A. J. McDevitt was found lying along the P. B. & L.

He is said to be a son of John McDevitt, formerly of Centre twp., and his where abouts have been unknown to his relatives. Supt. Graham's residence and office is in the magnificent administration build ing in front of the others and facing south. Doors from it enter into the dining halls, a separate hall for each sex. Heavy ironstone sups, saucers and plates and steel knives and forks are provided for the tables. Above the dinning room is a chapel and a sewing room. Back and north of the dining halls is the kitchen. Miss Lucy Barkey. formerly of Morganza, is employed as cook. Here is a range 15 feet long, two 50-gallon soup va.t«. a 30-gallon brass coffee pot and a 20-gallon tea pot. No hotel could have a finer culinary depart ment. North of the kitchen in a de tached building is the laundry which is amply equiped to compete with Mc- Dowell or the Butler Steam laundry, except in fine ironing. Coming back to the dining hall, covered passages,frame arid well lighted lead from the women's quarters on the east and the men's on the west. In these buildings, several single iron lied steads are placed in each bed room. The lavatories are splendidly furnished and each contains two bath tubs. If the paupers are not clean it will not be for lack of means for cleanliness. A large room on each floor at the south ends of the buildings is kept for a sitting room. In the halls of all the buildings are coils of hose, nozzled, and ready to use in case of fire. The eleyated water tank at the laundry gives plenty of pressure The whole place can be lighted by either gas or electricity. A 100 yarris east of the women's build ing the frame work is np for the stable which Cooper brothers are building. The P'KJT Farm live stock at present consists of one team of horses, four Jersey cows and nine hogs. More cows will be needed. Prisoners have been doing the farm work. Tlie whole plantation is an honor and a credit to the county, and we have no doubt Out that Mr. Graham. assisted by bis family, will administer the affairs of the county's home with honesty, kind ness and business like capability. Next year the grounds around the buildings can be sown with KTHHH and planted with trees and nature, care and time will make it a beautiful and lasting monument to the charity of the tax payer Supt. Graham is anxious to find homes with suitable persons wanting children to raise for Bertha and Re becca Jane Allen, colored. and Gertrude Morrison.
