THE CITIZEN. WILtIAM C. XF.GLEY - - Publisher THURSDAY, DECEMBER ia, 1901. SI,OO per year in Advance, Otherwise 51.50. WASHINGTON NOTES. The new Hay-Paunceforte treaty was reported favorably to the Senate. Friday;also, the nomination of P. C. Knox of Pittsburg as Attorney General. In the Honse, Friday, a nnmber of pension bills were introduced and among them bills to pension David Cnpps and G. Keifer of Bntler at S3O a month each, and John Glenn of Mercei, who is totally blind, at SSO per month, by Rep. Showaiter; who also introduc ed a bill for a pnblic building in Butler, while Senator Penrose introduced a similar bill in the Senate. Rep. Dalzell introduced a bill to pen sion the widow of Gen. Negley at 000 a year, and Rep. Taylor of Ohio, one to pension the widow of President McKinley at $.5,000 a year. In the Senate, Monday, the Senators from South Carolina again played their one act farce Senator Lodge of Mas sachusetts finally shut them off by mov ing to go into executive session "while the resignations of which the Senators are talking are being made." Speaker Henderson seems to have dealt as fairly by Pennsylvania in the matter of committee appointments as was possible, considering t'ne State's * large membership in the House. The fact that sections have to be represent ed upon the important committees has to be taken into confederation, and this often gives a State with but half a dofcen members as good a showing, if not better, than either Pennsylvania or New York, with delegations number ing 30 and 32 respectively, can be given. Pennsylvania gets but four chairman ships —Mr. Grow, on Education; Mr. Mahon, on War Claims; Mr. Olmsted, on Elections No. 2, and Mr. Wanger, on Expenditures in the Postoffice Depart ment. Mr Sbowalter was given places on the Railways and Canals, Public Buildings and Labor committees. PENSIONS —Margaret Badger, Hil liards, SB. POLITICAL. "The Pittsburg developments will do public good. Those >who championed the ripper can see now that such revo lutionary legislation is dangerous. The advocates of reform must fight for it before the people and win at the polls, , not expect to get it from professional politicians by a coup de grace."—Rep. Acheson. On Friday last Major A. M. Brown made a public statement of his political connections with Gov. Wm. A. Stone from the time his name was first sug gested for City Recorder until his re moval from that office by the Governor. The statement includes a history of all conferences held and the correspondence with the Governor on the question of removing City Solicitor Clarence Bur leigh, Director J. O. Brown, Director John M. Anderson, Delinquent Tax Col lector Robert Ostermaier and others and the appointment of others in their places. Major Brown's conclusion from all the facts in his possession is that Governor Stone and the Flinn-Brown- Burleigh combination had entered into an agreement that he should be remov ed from the Recordership. A dispatch from Washington, dated Sunday, snifl that Senator Quay loft this morning for his winter home at St. Lucie, FJa. where his friends say he will remain until he has completely recover ed from the congh wnich has eriven him so much trouble for the past two months. He was accompanied by Mrs. Quay, Miss Cora Quay. Capt. A. G. C. Quay and Attorney General John P. Elkin. It was not generally known until this morning that Mr. Elkin was to be of the Senator's party, and their going togeth er causes some comment among Penn sylvanians in Washington. Of course, it is believed that the Gubernatorial nomination next year,and the availabil ity of Mr. Elkin as a candidate, will be fully discussed during the latter's stay in Florida. It is now positively asserted by peo ple and papers antagonistic to Senator M. S. Quay that he was directly respons ible for and a party to the last reyolu tion in the city government of Pitts burg. The Philadelphia North Ameri can claims to have positive information that at the celebrated conference at Beaver before the fall election among Senatot Quay, J. O. Brown, Clarence Burleigh and Roger O'Mara the Sen ator assured J. O. Brown that.Le would be made City Recorder of Pittsburg after the election in the event of the "Organization'' giving a good majority for Potter and Harris in Allegheny county. This is now declared to be the reward offered for the fight made for the State ticket here. It has so frequently been asserted that Senator Quay was angry at the action of Governor Stone in removing Maj. A. M. Brown from the Recorder ship that most people believed this statement true. It is now pointed out that Senator Quay's alleged indigna tion on the subject has not found ex pression in any statement from him to which Governor Stone cotild object. In fact, those who have in past j ears learned to consider Senator Quay as a trickster now believe that the whole Pittsburg embroglio, beginning with .the promise of the rippeT's passage, has been in the "Old Man's" hands and that Governor Stone has simply made his moves on the political chess board under the direction of the past master in the game. "—Dispatch. Quarter Centennial. The executive committee of the Butler County Sabbath School Association met in the Y. M. C. A. building at Butler on Monday, Decernber 2, and elected J.

THE MARKET— Both agencies are paying $1 30. this morning. "The reduction in the production ol Pennsylvania oil as shown by the runs for the month of November is a source of gratification to many producers, as the situation will soon compel the Standard Trust to very materially ad vance prices, which should have been done long ago. The decline in the production for tlie month of November, compared with tin month of October amounts to about SUOO barrels daily. The production for the month ol November this year is about 14,500 barrels daily less than for the month ot November oue year ago. During the past twelve months, the net stocks have decliued a little over 3,100,000 barrels. During the past five monihs alone, the net stoci-s have declined nearly 2,500,000 biiivls; the reduction in the past month being about 600,000 barrels; the net stocks at the end of last month are just about 10.000,000 barrels, not one half of which could be delivered it it was required."

A tiny rill peeped forth from a hill, And leaped to catch the light, But a little stone stopped the current thrown And turned it left and right. And that on the left plunged down a steep In a torrent to seek the sea; While that on the right swept valleys broad In a river's majesty And each would fain turn back again To the mountain rill of its birth; But never and never have streams flow ed back Since God first formed the earth. Thus our lives flow on while we wonder and look, As flow the torrent and river. But to turn them back to the babbling brook That can be done, ah, never! And when we have sunk in ocean's grave And risen again from the deep, In some cloud afloat we then may note How a pebble small on souie far-off hill Changed our current and course for ever. E. H. N.
