POLITICAL.
County Chairman McFarland has
established headquarters in the Arinory
building. 2nd floor.
The county chairmen of the new
Congressional district, composed of
Washington. Beaver and Lawrence
counties, appear unable to agree upon
a method for making nominations.
The Braver county chairman proi>oses
the old and vicious conferee system,
in which each county shall be equally
represented by delegates. The Law
rence county chairman urges a slightly
better method, the voting of first, Eec
ond and third instructions by each
county, no county to drop its favorite
until at least 20 ballots have been
taken.
To the Washington county chair
man belongs the credit of suggesting
the only rational and fair means of
nominating a candidate —by popular
vote. His plan is that all candidates
shall be voted for by the party voters
of the district, the one having the
largest vote to be the nominee. It may
be contended that the most populous
county in a district is given an advan
tage by this system. That is only true
in rare cases where where local pride
dominates political sentiment. Ordi
narily there are well-defined issues rep
presented by the several candidates that
will have more influence upon the
canvass than the desire of each county
to name the nominee.
The instructive feature of the con
troversy, however, is broader than the
district. It proves the necessity for a
general State law, governing primary
elections, on the lines proposed in the
Guthrie bill of last winter. The pri
maries are tho foundations of the
whole political fabric and should be
uniform, honest and expressive of the
popular will.—Dispatch.
Clarion county is strongly Demo
cratic and the local nominees of that
party are usually elected, but this year
their nominee for Judge will probably
be badly defeated. The Jacksonian.
the leading Democratic paper of the
county, in a late issue said:
After mature deliberation and
thorough investigation the Jacksonian
has decided to endorse the candidacy
and work for the election of Harry R.
Wilson for President Judge of the
Eighteenth Judicial District.
In future issues our reasons for this
course will be set forth at length.
Briefly stated some of them are as
follows:
The office of President Judge is or
should be a non-partisan office. The
people should select for Judge the man
who is best fitted professionally, morally
and every other way for the place re
gardless of his affiliations. So in sup
porting Harry R. Wilson we do not feel
that we are breaking any political faith
but we are simply exercising the right
which every citizen enjoys of selecting
and supporting the candidate whose
election he believes will redound most
to the interest and benefit of the people
of the county.
Professionally considered Mr. Wilson
is an ideal candidate. His education,
professional training, experience, and
skill in interpreting the law are beyond
question.
As a man Mr. Wilson is clean, honest
upright, reliable and without a stain of
any kind upon his reputation or char
- acter.
He was nominated by his party fairly
honorably, unanimously and without
his personal solicitation. Mr. Hindman
was nominated in all probability by
corrupted Republican votes in what no
one palls anything but the most bitter
and corrupt primary election contest
ever held in the county. It is openly
charged that liquor, money and promises
of place and patronage were used in the
most roeklets and disgraceful manner
ill securing Mr Hindman's nomination.
If these charges are true, Mr. Hind
man has already made it impossible for
him to consistently take the oath of
office. If he should be elected and
under the circumstances take the oath
of office, what incentive could there lie
to induce him to keep his obligation?
Believing these things to be true
Jacksonian canrot do otherwise than
advocate tho withdrawal of support
from Hindman and urge the election ot'
Ham* R. Wilson. We call upon all
true Democrats to rebuke the corrup
tion that has made its appearance iu
our party and which at the late pri
mary election brought the entire
county into humiliation and disgrace.
As a matter of self preservation the
Democratic party must denounce the
tactics and practices of the political
boodler or the party will go down to
everlasting defeat in the county.
It is the open boast of Hindman's
chief supporters that with his election
a strong political machine will be ce
mented together and that this machine
will control the patronage and offices of
the county. Tnis fact is being held
over the heads of office holders and
office s'-akers in the party as an incen
tive or a threat. A man who will de
liberately seek by such means to be
elevated to the sacred duties of the
bench with such motives in view is un
fit for any trust. The Democrats of
the county cannot afford to sanction
such a dastardly plot and we refuse to
believe that they will.

On death of our President, Comrade
William McKinley.
James Harvey Post No. 511, Depart
ment of Penn'a G. A. R.
Whereas, the murderous hand of an
nssassion has taken the life of onr be
loved Comrade, William McKinley,
President of the United States, in the
very zenith of his fame and usefulness.
And further, believing as we do that
the teaching and preaching of anarch
ists, by their inflammatory speeches
and publications are always a menace to
our free institutions and endanger the
lives of our best citizens. especially
those in high position. Therefore
resolved,
Ist. That in the death of our Comrade,
William McKinley, our country lias
lost an able and pratriotic President and
a Statesman of world-wide reputation,
and the Grand Army a noble and loyal
Comrade.
2nd. That our safety as a Govern
ment and our prosperity as a people en
mand that our lawmakers enact and
force the most stringent Hws for t
suppression of anarchy and the exterm
ination of anarchists.
3rd. That while we mourn the I ss of
a dear comrade and an honored I'resi
dent we take great comfort in the
thought that he lived a Christian life,
and that great and honored as he was
here, death to him was but gain.
-lth. That to his invalid and now
sorely afflicted widow, we of James
Harvey Post in common with 'jur com
rades of every other Post in this broad
land extend our most sincere and heart
felt sympathy in her great bereavement.

Benjamin Harrison 011 Taxation.
In .*i series of lectures on "The Obli
gations of Wealth.' by the late Benja
min Harrison, published by the Bowen-
Merrill Company, Indianapolis. a num
ber of very so and observations are to be
found that are entitled to serions eon
sideration. The estimation in which a
mnn is held, he says, should be deter
mined by his character, and not by bis
possessions. It is quite as illogical to
despise a man because he is rich as be
cause he is poor. Not what a man has
but what he is, settles his class. Poverty
is not a virtue, nor is property a crime.
What we want is equality of opportuni
ty, not of dollars, and the dull brother
must not be handicapped by chicanery.
Justice is the best safeguard against
injustice.
One of the just causes for complaint
which the poor have agaist the rich, he
argues, is the fact that many rich men
flaunt their wealth on the street and
hide it from the tax gatherer.
"It is a part of our individual cove
nant as citizens with the state that we
will, honestly and fully, in the rate or
proportion fixed from time to tim« by.
law, contribute our just share to all
public expenses.
"A full and conscientious discharge
of that duty bv the citizen is one of the
tests of good citizenship. To evade
that duty is a moral delinquency, an
unpatriotic act."
Real estate seldom escapes proper
taxation, but the great bulk of the for
tunes of rich men are represented by
securities, including stocks,bonds,notes,
mortgages and the like, and these are
seldom fairly represented in the tax re
turns. The delinquency is most flagrant
in the great centres of wealth, where it
is notorious that the rich do not pay
their just proportion of the taxes.
"A gentleman of prominence, resid
ing in one of the smaller towns of New
England," says the late President Har
rison, "recently told me that toere had
resided in his town for many years a
gentleman who was reputed to be
wealthy, whom he supposed to In
worth, perhaps a million dollars, and
who was assessed for SIOO,OOO.
"He died, and when his personal
property was scheduled by his executor
it was found to amount to about six
million dollars, and when this property
went upon the assessment roll of the
town the tax rate was reduced one-half.
In other words, this gentleman, liv
ing iu neighborly relations to his fel
low-citizens and discharging apparent
ly with kindliness all of the obligations
of citizenship, had been every year of
his residence in the town defrauding
his neighbors by compelling them to
contribute to the public expense a
share that he should in honesty and
good conscience have discharged.
"He was filching from every hand
that was extended to him in neighbor
ly confidence His alms were of other
men's goods. "
As a remedy for this evil Mr. Harri
son suggests that the various State leg
islatures should pass laws estopping the
claim of any man or his heirs to prop
erty the ownership of which he had
disclaimed in his tax returns.
While it is true that in Pennsylvania
the expenses of the State Government,
as well as the large appropriation to
our public schools, are paid largely from
corporation tax, it is also true that local
taxation, especially in the cities and
larger towns, wonld be very materially
reduced if men who have their wealth
in the various kinds of securities were
compelled to bear as large a share of
the burdens of taxation as those who
have their money invested in real es
tate.
It is very difficult, however, to reg
ulate these matters so as to prevent the
dishonest from defrauding the honest
Tho "single-taxers" maintain that the
only solution of the problem is to place
all taxes upon real estate, and their
theories are presented in very plaus
ible language. But it strikes us that
all wealth, of whatever kind, should
bear an equal share of the burdens of
taxation.—Punx'y Spirit.
AT the recent convention of County
Commissioners, held in Bellefonte, one
of the Myers voting machines was on
exhibition. It was examined and tested
by many, and all agreed that it was a
perfect device to secure a secret and
honest ballot and an expeditions court.
The cost of the machines would be re
paid in two years by the saying ou the
present system of conducting elections.
The Legislatures of twelve States have
legalized the machine for voting, and
over 000 cities and towns in New York
are using them now with most gratify
ing results
The Constitutional Amendments.
Interest in the November contest
should not cause citizens to overlook
the fact that two Constitutional Amend
ments are to be voted on. Oue of these
emanates from the Union Committee
for the Promotion of Ballot Reform and
the Merit System in Pennsylvania. It
proposes to amend the Constitution so
as to give authority to the General As
senibly to prescrilte personal registra
tion of voters in cities. In its present
form the Constitution provides that all
laws regulating the holding of elections
or for registration of electors shall be
uniform, and that no elector shall be
deprived of the privilege of voting by
reason of non registration The latter
clause was obviously intended to protect
voters whose names had been negligent
ly or maliciously left off the lists by as
sessors. Experience has demonstrated
that the system of assessment, in cities
is susceptible of grave abuses. Too
many of the assessors neglect their
duties, or perform them improperly,
while the principal cause of complaint
is the assessment of the names of
persons who are disqualified or mythical,
tn the country precincts the electt -i are
well known, and padded lists are rare,
but in the crowded cities, where persons
may dwell for years in adjoining houses
without becoming acquainted, and
where there is a large migratory popu
lation, the present system offers abun
dant opportunities for fraud. The
amendment recommended by the Union
Committee on Ballot Reform provides
that laws regulating and requiring reg
istration may be enacted so as to apply
to cities only, provided that such laws
be uniform for cities of the same class.
The reason for authorizing the applica
tion of personal registration to cities,
without, extending it throughout the
State, is that the country districts con
sider that they do not need personal reg
istration, and are averse to the expense
which such a system would impose on
thim. The adoption of thisconstituti'in
al amendment does not enjoin personal
registration, but it empowers the Leg;
lature to introduce it at the discretion
of the law makers, and subject to th<
retained constitutional restrictions.
No better evidence of the necessity
for personal registration and of its prac
ticability need be sought than the ex
perience of New York, where elections
are often close and temptations to fraud
strong. In New York city the resis
tors sit for several days in advance of
the general election for the purpose of
enrolling the names of persons qualified
to vote. Minute description of the
physical appearance of the applicant is
recorded in a book kept for the purpose
as a check upon personation at the polls.
The work of registration is done with
order and care, and by representatives
of tho principal political parties, po that
partisan advantage and fraud are mini
mized The introduction of such a
system to Philad'lphia would not usher
in the millennium, but it will conduce
to fair and honest elections
There is another Constitutional
Amendment to 1m- submitted at the No
vemlier election. It provides that edi
tions may be carried on by other secret
means of voting than the ballot. The
adoption of this amendment would per
mit the General Assembly to authorize
the use of voting machine-, of which
there are several varieties.
Certainly no good citizen should fail
to cast bis vote in favor of the personal
registration amendment. Philadelphia

OIL NOTES.
THE MARKET— Both agencies are
paying $1.30. this morning.
AN IDEA.
The production of Pennsylvania oil as
shown by the published runs for the
month of September is not far frcm
86,000 barrels daily, the smallest since
the month of March, 1899, when erode
was the decline over the previous
month, August, being about 6,300
barrels daily average, notwithstanding
it is alleged there was a new production
of 6,770 barrels dailv brought in in the
month of September.
In the month 729 holes were drilled
to get the new production, but the
guesser must have his imagination
largely developed, or the sand rocks are
about drained.
The production for September seems
to have gone all to pieces, the greatest
per eentage of decline being in the wells
connected with the Eureka pipe line,
that being about .09} per cent.. South
west, Macksbnrg division and Tide
water. each showing a little over .05 per
cent, decline, the National Transit line
having the smallest decline of any. ir
being a trifle over per cent. the pro
duction however of all the wells con
nected with this line for September be
ing only 16,567 barrelsiper day against
1!».2_4 barrels daily during September,
Is 1 .)!) a decline of nearly .14 per cent, in
the 2 years. , _ ,
The decline in the stocks of Penns\l
vania oil during the month of Septem
ber should be about 500,000 barrels, un
less some sediment and surplus is used
in the shipments reported, without
which, the net stocks are lower than in
Jan . Feb. and March. 1*99, when the
price on crude was *1.68 per barrel.
Producers should run their oil to the
credit of some "trustees" who would
advance any money required at a fair
rate of interest, and then fix the price at
say $2.00, thus meeting the buyer with
one seller.
The "communitv <>f interest being
put into effect, to compel justice.

industrial history of the world. It was
the unveiling and presentation to the
city of a magnificent monument to
Colonel Edwin Laurentine Drake, the
pioneer of the petroleum producing
business. The donor of the granite pile
has not permitted his name to be given
to the public, but a blank has In-en 1-11

engraved after the donor's death.

man in whose honor tbev were held.
Mrs. Drake has consented to the ex
humation of her husband's body In or
der tlipt the remains may be interred in
the shadow of the beautiful monument*,
because, as she feelingly expressed it:
"Colonel Drake belongs to the oil conn
try." Hon. John Dalzell was the orator
of the day, and many prominent oil
producers were preasent. Col. Drake
died some twenty years u%o, and since
he drilled the firit oil well, about a bil
lion barrels of the stnfi' have been taki n

Tlie Cup Kaces.
Sir Thomas Lipton, the Englishman
who is trying to recover the America
cup. hail exactly the kind of wind he
wished for last Thursday,and the racing
yachts ran over the thirty mile course
in three hours, the Columbia beating
the Shamrock by minutes.
In Friday's race the Shamrock led,
but, some blunders by her Captain or
crew and the time allowance for extra
sail gave the race to the Columbia by 41
seconds. This gave three races of the
five to the Columbia and the cup will
stay here for another year.
The Cup itself for the possession of
which so many millions have beeu
spent, and over which, it is no exagger
ation to say. the whole world is period
ically aroused to enthusiasm —is a rather
insignificant piece of plate, whose
claims to distinction are certainly not
based upon its artistic beauty. It was
won in the year I*sl, at the time of the
great World's Fair in London by the
schooner-yacht "America,'' whi-h was
designed by George Steers for John
Stevens and others of the New York
Yacht Club, for the purpose of crossing
the water and engaging in yachting
contest with the British boats of that
day. She was N8 feet on waterline; !M
feet over all: i 2 feet beam, and her
draft was 11 1 feet. She differed very
widely, both in model and sail-plan,
from the English yachts of that day,
which were built on the "cod's head and
mackerel tail" theories, according to
which the greatest beam of a yacht was
placed at. a point considerably forward
of amidships. The British designers of
tbo e days believed that a bluff entrance
and !• long, finely drawn out run and
quarters were conducive to speed; and
it is a remarkable fact that the chal
lenger "Shamrock II after fifty years
or' development in yachting, should
show, as n result of the tank experi
ments on which she i.' modeled, some of
the features of the early model, her
p >int of L-re.atcst beam being rather far
forward, her forebody rather full, and
her afterbody relatively long and fine.

NEGLEY—At his home on High St.,
West End. Pittsburg, Saturday morn
ing. Oct. •">, 1901, Major Felix C. Neg
ley. aged 7'i years, 7 months and 5
days.
Felix Casper Negley was the second
son of John Negley, dee d, and was born
in Bntler. February 28. 182"). in a house
that stood on the west bank of the Con
noquenessing creek, across from the
present Walter mill. The foundation
place of the old house can yet be seen.
His education was received at the old
Butler Academy and such other schools
as were then in this plai-e. While yet a
young man he taught school in Clear
field twp.. and perhaps in some other
parts of the county. But his inclina
tion was towards surveying or civil en
gineering, which he followed here for a
while. About the time of reaching his
majority he went to Pittsburg and was
engaged there in mercantile pursuits
with friends. H>- was married there,
Oct. 12, 1848, to Miss Margaret A. Dick
son, and soon after became a member
of the firm of Dickson, Stewart & Co.,
in the coal business.
The discovery of gold in California
came about that time, and he. with oth
ers from Butler and Pittsburgh, started
in March, 1849, to that far off land to
tind gold. The hardships of that trip
were often narrated by him. Thev
went by the overland route, going down
the Ohio river and up to Saint Joseph,
Missouri. There they purchased ox
teams to draw their heavy articles and
started on foot over the plains and bar
ren deserts of near three thousand
miles. It took months for the journey,
and from the effects of it on his natural
ly very strong sj stem he never fully re
covered.
After returning from California he,
in connection with liis brother, James,
kept s-tore here in Butler for a short
time, and returning to Pittsburg was
entraged in the coal business until tbe
breaking out of the war of the Rel el
lion.
He participated in that war in vari
ous ways and was active and patriotic
in the service of the Union. At its
close ) e attain engaged in the coal busi
ness until the year 1884 when he became
an officer in one of the Courts of Alle
gheny county, holding a position in
same to his death.
He leaves a widow and ten living
children four sons and six daughters,
nearlv all married. He was a brother
of Mrs. Mary B. Muntz, Mrs. Susan A.
Patterson and John H. Negley of this
place, all his elders in years. His rela
tives here generally attended his funer
al, which took placeTnesday.last the re
mains being laid away in the Allegheny
cemetery. His complaint was said to
lie heart failure. And thus ends the
life of si kind husband and father, a true
friend, and a man of most pronounced
and generons character. The widow
and family have the sympathy of all
in their great loss.

THE KICKER.
A Theory of His Rise and
Progress.
The word " kick«r " is no more slang,
but an honorable term admitted bv the
lexicographer to the round table of
English speech. Thi* acceptance of the
word proves that there was a real need
for it; that a certain class of people had
no word in the English language to
fitly designate thent. As a class these
kickers must be as modern as the word
Which describes them. They are in ef
fect a new product of our latest civiliza
tion. The word which describes the
kicker is picturesque. It suggests the
Ciul« whose kicking is usually done out
J|j^|:
df pure <MHtaon«H ; which kick* in K«-
to« and out of season, at everything or
at nothing u the case may be. The
term kicker scarcely needs definition.
We know exactly what it Means, as
well as we know tne chronic fault-finder
it designates.
THE RISE OK THE KICKER.
Any one who cares to trace the rise of
the kicker will find that he keeps pace
with the prevalent American disease,
dyspepsia. All kickers may not he
dyspeptics, but all dyspeptics are surely
jllckers. They are everlasting fault
ftnders. Nothing goes right for them
Is the family or in business. There is
always a dead fly in their ointment. It
is a miserable condition for the dyspep
tic and bis friends. He really can't help
himself. His nerves arc strained to the
limit of endurance. His ears are like
megaphones magnifying every little
sound to the shock of thunder. His
eyes lose sense of perspective and he
•ees mole-hills as mountains. He is
suspicious, jealous, unreasonable and
obstinate ; and all these things are only
symptoms of the disease which is starv
iug and weakening the entire nervous
System and reaching out toward heart,
liver, lungs, kidneys and other organs.
) WHAT CAN BE DONE FOR HIM?
What can be done for the victim of
4y#pepsia ?
lie can be cured. He can be given a
■ew start In life. He can be made the
fmiable, companionable man ho was of
old. He can once more cat with ap
petite and enjoyment, work with energy,
and sleep the night through in sound,
dreamless slumber.
This is not a mere empty claim un
supported by facts. The statement that
the dyspeptic can be cured is made on
the authority of thousands of men and
women, who have been entirely cured

of dyspepsia and other diseases of the
stomach and organs of digestion and
nutrition by the use of Dr. Pierce's
Golden Meaical Discovery. It always
helps. It almost always cures.
O. S. Copenhaver, B#q., of Mount
Union, Huntingdon Co., Pa. (Box aaa),
writes: " About twelve yean ago I was
suddenly taken with a pain in the pit
of the stomach which was so violent I
could not walk straight. It would grow
more severe until it caused waterbrash
and vomiting of a slimy, yellow water.
I consulted a physician and he told m:
I had a form of dyspepsia and treated
me for about six months with but little
benefit. I still kept getting so weak I
could scarcely wallc. I then tried an
other physician and he told me my liver
was out of order and that I had indiges
tion. He gave me a treatment and I
got some better, but only for a short
time. I then tried another one who
said I had chronic indigestion, ulcera
tion of the lining of the stomach, torpid
lirwr and kidney affection. He treated
me for more than a year and I felt
much better but it did not last. I then
took to using several widely advertised
patent medicines, but received no more
than temporary relief while using. I
then tried Dr. Pierce's medicines, using
his 'Golden Medical Discovery,' 'Fa
vorite Prescription ' and the ' Pleasant
Pellets' and in two months' time I was
feeling better than I had for years be
fore. I can truthfully say Dr. Pierce's
medicines did me more good than any I
had ever taken."
Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov
ery cures diseases of the stomach and
other organs of digestion and nutrition.
It restores bodily strength by enabling
the assimilation of food which is the
source of all physical strength. It acts
directly on the blood-making glands, in
creasing their activity and so increasing
the supply of blood which is enriched
and purified by the "Discovery."
"Golden Medical Discovery " contains
no alcohol and is entirely free from
opium, cocaine and all other narcotics
and injurious drugs.
Do not accept any substitute for the
" Discovery " though claimed to be "just
as good." "Golden Medical Discover)'"
has cured when all other medicines
have failed. There in nothing else "just
as good."
