M., to consider the matter of the adop tion of rules govering the nomination of Congressional candidates in the dis trict composed ot Butler and Westmore land counties. This is an important matter and we trust every member of the Committee will be present. R. M. MCFARLAND, Chairman. HARRY F. THOMPSON, (C WRF , T . RI V H JOHN H. JACKSON, MONEY AND CRIME. Keeping large sums of money in one's house is not a crime, and yet it breeds crime. The men who broke into Henry Smith's house last Thursday night and assaulted and killed him probably had some positive information as to the amount of money concealed in the house, and they went there prepared to kill if resisted or recognized; and a« Mrs. Smith did not recognize either of them they will probably escape punish ment unless one of their number ''squeals," as did Walter Dorman in the Biddle brothers case. And even where the party is recogniz ed and the crime fastened upon him by circumstantial evidence, it has been found impossible to convict. Some of our readers will remember the case of the Commonwealth versus Chester Hunter, tried in our court here about nine years ago, or shortly after Judge Greer took his seat. The man he assaulted and attempted to rob—George Hilgar of Slippery rock township— rec cognized him at the time, recognized him in court, and had known him from childhood, and his mother before him; and some of the neighbors saw bim go ing towards George Hilgar's house that day with a club in his bands. But he pat up some sort of an "alibi," upon which Greer laid great stress In his charge to the jury—perhaps on ac count of one of bis sons being engaged on the defense—and though the jury went out standing 10 to 2 in favor of conviction, they were kept out all night and eventually acquitted him, and Hun ter went back to his haunts in the city, and a few days after the Pittsburg pa pers contained accounts of Chester Hu nter being sent to tbe workhouse for lar ceny. The day Hunter was acquitted here nilgar walked back and forth before the Court House, accusing Tony Allen of betraying him, and was told at the time he should look higher, and we thought then and think yet that the dis posal of that case by the court here was direct encouragement to crime and criminals of that class. WASHINGTON NOTES. Tne fourth caucus of the Republicans of the House had a stormy session that lasted until midnight of Tuesday night, discussing the Cuban reciprocity propo sition, and adjourned without agreeing. Secretary John D. Long called at the White House Monday morning, and handed President Roosevelt his formal resignation as Secretary of the Navy. The President accepted it, and before noon the announcement was made from the White Honse that Rep. Wm. H. Moody of Haverhill, Mass , would take the portfolio. In his Monday letter Hemy Hall lines up the Penn'a Kepublicans in Congress on the Ways and Means Committee's proposition for tariff concessions to Cu ba as follows: For—Bingham, Adams, Wagner, Pal mer, Evans, Bates, Jack, Grow, Butler, Olmsted, Acheson, Bhowalter and Dal zell.

Tli* next one will be on the Maggie Wimer or Durnell. Jonathan Fisher of near Elmbnd has cold his farm to John Kaufman and will move to El wood City, and it is said that J. C. Hogne will occupy the place vacat id by Fisher. Mrs. John A. Pisor is critically ill with throat tronble. Frank Dannels occupies the black smith shop recently built by N. L. Gardner in Jacksville. M. A. POLITICAL. The Westmoreland-Butler Congress ional committees meet in Pittsburg, again today. State politics took a humorous turn, last week, when both Quay and H. W. Oliver wired from Florida denials of the reported "deaL" Senator William Flinn has retired permanently from politics. In a state ment issued a few days ago he announc ed that he had taken this step and that in the future his entire time would be devoted to his extensive business inter ests. His action came in the nature of a complete surprise to those who have not been in touch with the drift of poli tical affairs. His announcement ex plains the extent to which he has gone to make his action final, which is that he has not only severed all connection with local politics by resigning from the Republican City Executive committee and the Republican County Executive committee, but that he has also resign ed his seat in the tipper branch of the State Legislature. "Allegheny county's delegation in the Republican State Convention is to go uninstrncted. The "Organization is not friendly to Attorney General John P. Elkin. But the "Organization' does not know to whom its kindness shall be given. It has not the vaguest idea how much of its corporate body remains or how soon what little life remains will be knocked out. Its members are ad mitting that it cannot deal because it has nothing to offer better than the statistics of the last city election, which showed that with more votes than it ever had before it is a loser. —Dispatch. "John P. Elkin be the next Gov ernor of Pennsylvania. Of that I have sot the slightest doubt," was the oon fident declaration of Insurance Commis sioner Israel W. Durham, the ward leader of Republican politics of the Quaker City when he reached home last Saturday after a three weeks' so journ in Florida. Mr. Durham and a party of a dozen or more local Republi can ward leaders arrived shortly after 1 o'clock in a special Pullman car. Dur ham at first met his interviewers with a declaration that politics was not con sidered on their trip, that they went absolutely for pleasure and recreation, and that it had been agreed that the first man who talked politics was to be put off the train. Later he loosened up and let go his interview in favor of Elkin for Governor. Another Defeat for the British. The British army met severe and sud den defeat in South Africa, last Friday, and London was almost stunned by the unexpected announcement. As the re sult of an offensive attack by tbe Boers under Gen. de la Rey, Gen Methnen was wounded in the thigh and captured and is retained as a prisoner, three British officers and 38 men were killed, five British officers and 72 men were wounded, one British officer and 200 men are missing, and four guns were taken. The attack by the Boers was made just before dawn on March 7, be tween Wynbnry and Lichtenburg, Orange river colony, upon the British force of 1,200 men. The Boers capture all tbe British baggage.
