THE CITIZEN.

THURSDAY, DECEMBER 9, 1900.
Washington.
* The second session of the 50th Con
gress of the United States began at
noon of Monday of this week, and will
expire at noon of the first Monday of
March.
Speaker Henderson called the House
to order , and Senator Frye the Senate.
The new members of both houses pre
sented their credentials and were sworn
in, the deaths of members was reported:
both houses appointed committees to
wait upon the President: the President s
message was read and the first daj s
session was ended. The desks of most
of the members were profusely decorat
ed with flowers, making the chambers
look like a flower show. The stack of
flowers on Senator Hanna s desk was so
larg'j that he could not occupy his usual
seat, while Joe Sibley's desk in the
House was covered with violets.
111 the talk among the members re
garding the bnsiness that would come
before them, the ship-subsidy bill seem
ed to have precedence.
The Message is very long and is an
exhaustive review of our national af
fairs, both domestic and international.
The keynote of his suggestions is
caution. Our unparalleled prosperity
is cited as a possible invitation for ex
travagant expenditures and unneces
sary appropriations. Economies should
not be lost sight of and the abundance
of the present should, in a measure, be
husbanded for the future In the
opinion of the president our prosperity
is of the durable character, but this
does not lessen the responsibilities of
the present. The time is one of great
opportunities, an era in which to pro
mote "legitimate industrial and com
mercial expansion." It also has its
perils and these must be avoided. He
strongly urges against the use of our
growing power as a nation, for conquest
and oppression, directing attention to
the fact that the "foundation of our
government is liberty: its superstructure
peace.
The position taken by the govern
ment of the United States in dealing
with the Chinese question is illustrated
at length. Prediction, based upon
present conditions, is made that a
satisfactory settlement will eventually
be had. It is also made plain that some
binding assurance must be given for the
future protection and safety of those
natives who become converts to foreign
creeds. Regarding the question of in
demnity, the president takes the high
ground that in lieu of financial tender
"compensation mav be made in part by
increased guarantees of security for
foreign rights and immunities, and,
most important of all, by the opening of
China to the equal commerce of all the
world." The open door must remain
ajar. Recognizing the existence of
The Hague court of arbitration, he con
curs with Russia as to the wisdom of
referring to that body the settlement of
indemnities.
Legislation which will insure the
parity of gold and silver is recommend
ed, as is also an exemption to the ex
tent of $30,000,000 of the more burden
some features of our war tax. The
merits of the shipping subsidy bill are
featured and reasons given for immedi
ate favorable action. The wonderful
growth of our steel industries, our
rapidly increasing export trade, and
constantly increasing naval expenditures
are incorporated among other causes
which demand that we take first rank
among the commercial maritime powers.
Favorable progress in the pacifi
cation of the Phillipine islanders is re
ported, and congress notified that the
president is awaiting its action in the
formation of a plan of stable govern
ment.
In discussing the needs of the army
the president strikes an insistent note.
He believes that so long as the pretent
disturbed conditions continue the pres
ident should be given authority to in
crease the present numerical force to
100,000 men. From 45,000 to 60,000
men will soon be needed in the Philip
pines, and additional to this force 15,
000 natives should be recruited.
Reverting to the recommendations
made in his last message, asking for
early action in regard to remedial legis
lation to restrict combinations of capi
tal, organized into trusts, the president
reiterates what he said then and adds:
"Restraint upon such combinations as
are injurious, and which are within
federal jurisdiction, should be promptly
applied by congress." To this estent
only can the president go. it l>eing gen
erally recognized that the necessary
corrective legislation upon this subject
must be supplied by the legislatures of
the various states.
•
Representative Showalter was quot
ed as follows; There never was a better
and more comprehensive message trans
mitted to Congress. The President has
treated most thoroughly of the Philip
pine islands and presents the situation
in China clearly and concisely," and
Representative John Dalzell, of Pitts
burg—"The message of the President
is clear, concise and to the point. It
goes into the Philippine question
exhaustively and treats of Cuba
and Porto Rico to the fullest ex
tent. lam sure the message is just
what the Republicans expected, and it
will receive the hearty indorsement of
every one of them,while at the same
time acting as a guide for Congress in
legislation to be enacted in the future.
The President also deals with our mer
chant marine and makes recommend
ations for its improvement. That is a
part of the Republican platform. I in
dorse most heartily every word in the
message.
The Tax 011 Medicines.
The manufacturers and retail dealers
in drugs and proprietary medicines are
preparing a strong representation to
Congress for including in the reduction
of the war taxes the special stamp tax
on the articles made and dealt in by this
trade. They point out cogently that
while they, as citizens and business
men.J pay'their share of the taxation by
stamps on checks, agreements and other
documents, together with the general
customs and excise taxes, this particular
stamp tax is levied on a special trade.
That trade, too, is the one which
serves the need of the people in illness.
Whatever dispute there may be as to
who pays the tax in the first instance
there can be no doubt that the ultimate
burden of a tax on medicines falls on
those who need the medicines. This
especial tax amounts to $4,000,000 or
$5,000,000 per year. There is no reason
why it should not be repealed, together
with the other taxes on business transac
tions, accepted for the past two years
solely to support the war that was end
ed two years ago, and it is gratifying to
note these are the very items recom
mended for abolition by the Ways and
Means Committee.—Dispatch.
Itailroari Notes.
* A large number of Italians are widen
ing the "Bessie" cut on the Love and
Maizland farms in Clinton twp.
The Bessie has 60 men and a steam
shovel employed at Branchton putting
in new sidings. A yardmaster is now
in charge at that place and it is report
ed that the company will spend $15,000
in improvements. It is said a round
house is to be built and Branchton is to
b>j made a division headquarters.
The Carnegie interests plan to opernte
directly tL<j Pittsbnrg, Bessemer & Lake
Erie railroad, which since its organiza
tion has been controlled by these inter
ests. The plan is to lease the road, pos
sibly for a period of 999 years, oi>erate it
nnder new charters, assume all the
funded debt of the present corporation
in the lease and guarantee for the com
mon stockholders a dividend of 3 per
cent. The Bessemer has never paid a
dividend on its common stock and the
proj)osition of the Carnegie company,
which under its New Jersey omnibus
charter is the investor concern of all
the Carnegie interests, has actuated a
flurry in stock exchange circles through
the report that it would guarantee
dividends on the common stock.
THE TEACHERS' INSTITUTE, j
The 46th Annual Session of the Teach
ers' Institute for Butler county will be
held in Butler. Dec. 17 to 21. Pro- j
grams of the meeting have already
been sent to the teachers and directors
and will not be given here.
The instructors chosen for the week
are men of large and successful exper
ience anil come to us highly recommend
ed: among whom are the following:
Supt. Geo. W. Twitmvre, of Wilming
ton, Del.
Charles C. Rounds, M. S., Ph. D., of
New York.
Miss Elizabeth Lloyd, of Darby, Pa.
Prof. Walter R. Egbert, of Slippery
rock Ps
Prof. I- M. McClymonds. of Slippery
rock, Pa.
Prof. C. G. Woolsey, (Musical Direc
tor) of Erie. Pa.
For our evening entertainments we
have secured some of the best lecturers
on the platform today.
Monday evening, 17th. the subject will
be '•Sunshine and Shadow," given by
Prof. A. W. Hawks, the "Laughing
Philosopher." If you wish to laugh at
tend this lecture. Prof. Hawks is
known to rank high as a comic lecturer
and we feel sure that if you hear him
you will enjoy a treat.
Tuesdav evening, Hon. Z. T. Sweeney
of Columbus, lnd., will give his lecture.
•'Going Up to Jerusalem." As Dr.
Sweeney is not so well known in this
state allow me to quote from two au
thorities as follows. "I regard Dr.
Sweeney as one of the strongest preach
ers in America: (Rev. Talmage)
We have had the greatest lecturers of
the country here but none have pleas
ed so well as did Mr. Sweeney; (Pres.
of Hiram college).
Wednesday evening the Russell H.
Conwell: the brilliant preacher, author
and lecturer, will deliver his famous
lecturo, "Heroism of a Private Life
Rev. Conwell needs no introduction,
he has been on the lecture platform for
38 years, during which time he has de
livered over 8000 lectures, besides
preaching to the thousands who weekly
throng to his church.
The Philadelphia Times in speaking
of him says he is the only lecturer who
can fill a hall with 3000 people at a dol
lar a ticket.
Thursday evening's lecture will be
given by Prof. Eugene C. Foster M. S,,
of the Temple college. Philadelphia, on
the subject of Liquid Air (illustrated),
To say the least for this subject it is
certainly one of the newest and most
scientific topics of the day. Seldom, if
ever, has a scientific discovery created
such an interest among the people as
has liquid air. What it is, what is now
being done with it and what will be
done with it in the fnture are no longer
hidden treasures.
The lecturer will have with him on
the platform several gallons of real
liquid air and will there not only tell
of its history, composition, uses, etc.,
but with it will perform many novel
and interesting experiments,
I have to say for this conrse of lect
ures that it is the most expensive course
ever secured for a Butler county teach
er's institute. We have done this be
cause we believe that the teachers and
the people of this town and county are
anxious to hear and see the best that is
going, and I do hope the people of the
town and county will come out and en
joy each one of these lectures.
Season tickets for this course will be
on sale at Reed's News Stand or can be
purchased from the County Supt. at
any time after Dec. 10, the price being
cut to $1.75.
The Directors' Convention will be
held in the Park Theatre, Thursday,
Dec. 20, commencing at 10:45.
A full and interesting program has
been arranged for this meeting and I
here earnestly request every director in
the county to be present if possible at
this convention.
Any young man or lady who expects
to teach school next year and would like
to become a member of this institute
can do so by purchasing a teachers' tick
et from the Supt., which will entitle
them to the same rights and privileges
as though they were now teaching.
Excursion rates have been secured on
all the railroads of the county. Those
who come on the P. B. &L. E. R. R.
will not be sent the coupon, but will be
given excursion rates when they buy
their tickets.
Teachers, directors and friends of ed
ucation we hope to make this the best
institute ever held in the county: but
we can't do that without your presence
and hearty co-operation.
We therefore kindlv request you to
come and help it along.
Yours very truly,

liohison vs Wanamaker.
The trial of the ease of Thomas Rob
ison vs John Wanamaker, began at
Beaver yesterday.
The plaintiff's statement in the ease
was filed March 15. Ixoß. an<l docketed
as No. 8 oil the trial list for the Decem
ber term of 1898. The trial lias been
several times potsponed. Mr, Robinson
auyo in the statement that he is a good,
true, honest, faithfnl and upright citizen
and has not been guilty of conspiracy
to defraud the State or of perjury by
violating his official oath while smperin
tendent of printing and binding. He
says he was appointed on May 1. 1895, by
Gov. Daniel H. Hastings, who is one
of the witnesses, with the approval of
the Senate: served until July 1. 1897;
was re-appointed and served until May
1898. It was his duty to issue orders
to the State printer for work required
by law, to receive, examine and pass
upon all bills. He says the deiendant.
with intent to deprive him of his good
name and blacken his character, made
a public statement at Williamstown,
Dauphin county on the evening of Oct.
1, 1898, charging him with the com
mission of grave crimes and misdemean
ors. Mr. Wanamaker is quoted as
saying:
• I will briefly submit to yon some of
the glaring frauds that have been un
earthed in the State printing depart
ment. First came the disclosures rela
tive to the printing of a harmless little
pamphlet treating of the diseases of
poultry, that originally cost £2OO. The
last Legislature authorized the publish
ing of 15.000 additional copies of the
work that were to cost 13 cents a copy,
or a total of $1,950. The accidental
discovery by an anti-Quay official of a
bold conspiracy, between the State
printer, the State zoologist and others,
to print an elaborately illustrated book,
with highly colored pictures of owls.
Virginia deer, game birds and bats,
brought the attempted steal to light.
The cost of the new lxx>k was $3.50 per
copy and the total bill rendered the
State was $56,000."
The plaintiff alleges that Mr. Wana
maker meant that Mr. Robinson was in
cluded in the "and others," and that
Mr. Robinson had entered into a crimi
nal conspiracy with Warren and C. M.
Busch. the State printer, to cheat and
defraud the Commonwealth. In an
other part of his speech Mr. Wana
maker is quoted as saying that State
Pi inter Stanley Ray, who succeeded
Busch, presented as his first bill for
printing a claim for $12,000. $7,600 of
of which was declared by the Deputy
Attorney General to be made up of il
legal charges, and was not paid. The
plaintiff alleges that Mr. Wanamaker
meant that this illegal bill had been
presented to and approved by him as
superintendent of printing and binding
with intent to cheat and defraud the
Commonwealth.
Another item mentioned is Mr. Wan
amaker's alleged statement that, "al
though the last Legislature had made
appropriation for the State fish com
mission, which was forced to beg mon
ey, the State printer presented a bill of
$26,000 for printing a report showing
how the commission bad expended an
appropriation of $40,000 made at the
previous session." This, the plaintiff
contends, Mr. Wanamaker meant, was
another charge that! the superintendent
of printing and a party to a
conspiracy to defraud. The statement
quotes other parts of Mr. Wanamaker s
alleged speech.
Yerterday a jury was secured, and
plaintiff's case opened, after which the
defence asked for a non-suit, but were
refused.
