The Bntler and Westmoreland county Congressional Committees met in Pitts burg, again, Tuesday, bat could not agree upon anything, and adjourned without day. Rival levees were held by Senator M. , S Quay and Attorney General John P. , Elkin at the Duquesne Hotel, Pittsburg ( last Saturday, and devoloped a situation ( more humorous then enlightening. The ( most important callers paid their re spects at both places. They wanted ( to learn all they could. When evening 1 came Senator Quay took a train for ( Beaver, pleading that his physician had , advised him against going to the , Americus Clnb banquet. The Attorney j General, who had not fonnd time to eat ■ a bite since morning, hustled down street to get a sew tie. From neither , camp came any statement indicating a change in the State situation or that the Quay-Dnrham-Oliver-Penrose combina tion had selected a candidate for Gover nor. Thomas S. Biglow admitted having met Attorney General Elkin on Friday, but declared in an authorized statement that the meeting had in no way affected the" anti-macliine movement in Alle gheny county. The Attorney General, however, said that he was more firmly convinced than ever that his friends in Allegheny and surrounding counties will put up a winning battle for him Senator Qnay declined to be interviewed at all. He had a very busy day, but * those who saw him came away declar ing that they were as much in the dark as they had ever been. Former Lieutenant Governor Walter Lyon saw Quay and soon afterward stated that he thought ex-Auditor Gen eral Levi G. McCauley would be a strong candidate for Governor. Cadwallader Biddle, Chairman of the Board of Charities, who was in the city, also said he was surprised that McCanley's boom had been not more atroagly devel oped. More significance was attached to the words of Deputy United States Marshal J. R. Hurrah, an old friend of Senator Quay's. After seeing the Senator he , came forth with a strong line of boost ing for Congressman Joseph C. Sibley. This created quite a commotion for a little while. P. C. Boyle of Oil City, who is supposed to know a great deal about the oil country politics, but who who is lined up for Elkin, when asked whether Sibley would be Quay 's choice, replied: "I am afraid not." Of the twelve delegates to the State Convention elected last Saturday, the eight from Lackawanna are pledged to Watres; while the two from Clinton and one each from Greene and Wyoming go nninstructed. Men who are claiming that Mr. Quay is more Dopular in Mercer county than Mr. Elkin should take the trouble to look up the figures. When Mr. Quay's name was last submitted to the Repub licans of the county (without opposition) he polled less than 09 per cent, of the Republican vote, and that after a strong effort has been made in his behalf. Mak ing a fair average of the vote cast for the numerous candidates at the recent primaries the vote for State delegates (all avowed Elkin men) is about 80 per cent, of the whole, or 11 per cent, greater than the vote for Quay. If the names of the two men w ere submitted to the Republicans of Mercer county for the same office tomorrow the difference in favor of Elkin would certainly be no ' less, but probably much more.—Mercer Dispatch. MR. EDITOR:—Judge Greer tries to have the public believe that he has been 'promoting economy of the county funds. This is all bosh. Not long ago there was an application for a new trial in a case where it was evident that the de fendant was no more guilty of the crime charged than the Judge was him self. But the trouble was that if he granted a new trial the party would most assuredly be acquitted. This would deprive the prosecutor (a close friend of the Judge) of the S4OO that the Commissioners had offered for the con viction of the guilty party. The new trial being refused and the party sen tenced, ot course the Commissioners had to pay the money. AN OBSERVER. The Truth ot the Matter. EKASTOWN, PA., April 30, 1902. ED. CITIZEN Last week I sent to yon a letter which I had received from judge Greer, which yon published in your last issue. I enclose you a letter which I received from James M. Gal breath. Esq relative to this same mat ter which I wish yon would also pub lish. Very truly yours, Jos. C. HEPLER. BUTLER, PA., April 31, 1902. J. C. HEPLER, ESQ., DEAR SIR:—Mr. Negley of the BUTLER CITIZEN has referred to me a letter received by him. enclosing a letter from Judge Greer, to yourself, in which the Judge says, in substance, that no promise was made by him to me ten years ago, which would preclude him from being a candidte at tne pres ent time. I cannot answer for anything that took place ten years ago between Judge Greer and other prospective candidates at that time, but do know what took place between him and me. As yon know, we both ex pected to be candidates at that time for the Republican nomination for Judge, but as we both came from the same cor ner of the county, our mutual friends did not wish to see us both in the field at the same time. Some of these friends representing both Mr. Greer and my self had a conference over the matter. In this conference it was arranged and agreed that I. being the younger in years, should stand aside at that time, and. so far as I was concerned, give him a clear field, and tbat nt the end of his term of ten years, he would not be a can didate against me. This arrangement was made known to Mr. Greer and my self. and in order that the wish of our friends might be carried out, I saw Mr. Greer, and said to him, that I intended to be a candidate for Judge—but not until the next time. He said to me, "I will just say tnis to you, I will be a can date this time and whether successful or defeated will not be a candidate again." Our whole arrangement had reference to the time when his ten year term would expire, and to no other. The conversation between Mr. Greer and myself took place in the Court room in Butler, and I had no other conversation or arrangement with him about it at any other time oc place. In order that our agreement might be kept I was not a candidate ten years ago, but support ed Mr. Greer, both at the nomination and election, and, up until the Judge became a pronounced candidate for re election. I supposed that onr agreement would be kept inviolate on both sides. As you, I think, know, it has been my purpose and desire to avoid all public and personal controversy, during the progress of the campaign, but when my attention was called to the letter receiv ed by you, I felt that it was a duty to myself to write you this letter, stating the exact truth of this matter. Yours very truly, JAMES M. GALBREATH We call particular attention to the words "whether successful or defeated" which give the lie to all Greer's state ments now, for who, knowing the public and private records of the two men but will take the word of Mr. Gal breath over the oath of Judge Greer. WASHINGTON NOTES. On Tuesday the House passed the Public Buildings bill by a vote of 106 to 33. The bill appropriates seventeen millions for new P. O. and other build ings. Two important measures were sent to the president on Monday for his signature, the oleomargarine and the Chinese exclusion bills.. Both passed the conference stage and were favor ably acted upon by both houses of congress that afternoon in their pres ent shape. In the house, during the discussion of the agricultural appropriation bill, Representative Sibley roundly denounc ed Gen. Smith {pr his order to make the island of Samar a "howling wilder ness." Mr. Sibley declared that Gen Smith's method is not onr kind of civil ization and that this was not Christian izing the world. Mr. Sibley was ap plauded time and again during his re marks, and as he concluded the applause was deafening. Wall street will know when the re ports are all in that President Roosevelt intends to attack all the illegal trusts and corporations ot the country. The President is so vastly pleased with the reception given his instructions to Attorney General Knox to proceed against the beef trust that he will take up the case of any trust that may come into his field of vision. Mr. Roosevelt consulted-with Senator Burrows, the leading opponent of the sugar trust in the Cuban reciprocity fight in the Senate last week, about tne possibility of getting after that combination. The Senator told the President that proof could be procured showing that that trust acts in exactly the same way as the beef trust, arbitrari ly raising and lowering prices, and in transgressing the law in regard to the distribution and sale of its product. The President said that if this proof could be furnished he would at once in struct Attorney General Knox to pro ceed against the sugar trust. Senator Burrows will fnrniah the information that will lead to the proof. _ A Western lawyer who'is a warm friend of the President called at the White House Thursday, and in the course of conversation aeired about the action against the Northern Securities merger. The President gave his friend a personal note of introduction aud sent him to the Attorney General. THE office of county superintendent of public schools is one of the most re sponsible positions in the State. Its du ties are manifold, aud the man who at tends to them properly must be a very busy man. To visit all the schools in a county as large as Butler at least once during a term, to conduct examinations and county i nstitutes, attend local in stitutes and look after the general wel fare of all the school-} in a proper man ner, requires the expenditure of a great deal of energy and considerable money. What human office couH be of more importance than to supervise the educa tion of our youth, to direct the cultiva tion of the intellect, and see that our boys and girls are being developed into real men and women. A man who fills the office properly is deserving of a greater salary than any other county of ficial. but as a rule his salary is the smallest. THE sixteenth celebration of the birthday of General Grant by the Amer icus Clnb in Pittsburg, Saturday nipht, was made uotable by the presence of three members of the President's Cabi net and by the eloquent memorial ad drees delivered by Congressman Little field, whose repute as an orator is unex celled in Congress. These annual trib utes to the memory of the great soldier by the Americus Club have become of National interest, serving to keep his memery green and at the same time contributing no little to the furtherance of the principles of the party of which he was so distinguished a member. U. S. Attorney General P. C. Knox acted as toast master, and after Little field, Sec. Shaw and General Wiley made speeches. Eau Claire. I Profs.
