All Republicans interested in politics should cut ont the Republican Rules, from this issue, as the County Couimit tse has as yet made no provision for capita of these rules. Robert C. McAboy and John H Sat ton are applicants for appointment to the office of Justice of the Peace made yacant by Maj. Anderson's death. The appointee will hold the office until the first Monday of May, 1904; after which time whoever is elected at the previous borough election will take his seat for five years. The Democratic County Committee met in the Court House last Saturday afternoon, and selected Saturday, May 21at, from 2 to 7 p.m.. as the date for their primary. They will be entitled to five delegates to their State Convention this year. Recorder Hays of Pittsburg selected . his Cabinet, last Monday as follows: Edward M. Bigelow, Director of the Department of Public Works. Harry Moore, Director of the Depart nv-nt of Public Safety. James W. Clark, Director of the De partment of Charities and Corrections. Wm. B. Rodgers, City Solicitor. Andrew Fulton, Delinquent Tax Col lector. Edward J. Frauenheim, City Treas urer. HARRISBURG. "Birdie" Warren, the former econo mist of the agricultural department, who resigned in a hurry in the Spring of 1898, just at the time when Governor Hastings was asking questions about the "bird book", has again fallen on his feet. Governor Pennypacker, on Mon day, appointing him dairy and food commissioner in place of Jesse Cope, forced to resign to make room for Warren. The bill introduced in the Senate, Monday night, by Senator White of Beaver, to increase the membership of the Capital Commission, and thus take its control from ex-Gov. Stone, may make trouble. Gov. Pennypacker visited the House a few days ago.and made a short speech to the members in which he said: "The Constitution provides a method by which the Governor may make his recommendations. It is wise that that method shall be pursued. I mav say a word alxjnt our mutual relations. We are both, insofar as we may, endeavor ing together to work out results for the good of the people and the common wel fare. I may say that if the Governor should nse his power for the purpose of enforcing legislation it would be an in terference with the principles of our Government. On the other hand, if the Legislature attempts to carry it out by other methods than those of the Execu tive, to that extent it interferes with the system which we have adopted. On Thursday last Gov. Pennypacker signed five bills that had passed both houses, finally, and vetoed one. The C'oiuit> Home. (Published by request) The connty auditors' report shows the following figures relating to the) poor farm for the last year: Total ex penditures of Butler county poor dis trict, Included in this total is an item of $1,786.84 for permanent Improvements and also the sum of sl, 100.46, amount paid by connty commis sioncrs to aid the poor outside of the county home. Deducting these two items from the total reduces it to SB,- 00!).54. Deducting from this the value of the farm products as set forth by the auditors as amounting to $2,.'185.75, we have left $5,673.70, the amount actually expended in keeping the poor at the connty home last year, and if we add to this t|ie amount given to aid the poor not take;n to the home—sl,loo.4o—it gives us the sum of $6,774.26 as the to ' tal cost of keeping the poor of the en tire county for the past year. The last levy of poor tax in the bor ough of Butler before the connty home was ready for use was $10,(11)1).70. It therefore cost Butler boro $1,425.45 more to keep the poor of the boro in the year 1900 than it did to keep the poor of the entire connty in 1902 at the poor farm. Tne poor farm cost the connty when purchased about $15,000. Its increase in value over the purchase price with out the buildings is more than the orig inal coat. When the question of having a home for the poor was submitted to the voters of Butler connty it carried by the small majority of ill votes. Does the exper i«ace of last year as ptfr the auditors' re port not show the wisdom of the ma jorityr CITIZEN. The Stars in April.

Mr. Swain was one of the leading cit izens of our county, and his sudden death was a shock to all who knew him. Of fine personal appearance and agreeable manners he was a favorite with all. He was, besides, a man of the highest moral character, personal worth, a good and useful citizen, en gaged in all good works, both in church and state and among his fellow citizens. The Orphan's Home and Farm School at Zelienople will be among the institu tion3 that will miss him moat. He was Lutheran in religion and an influential member of that churh During the late civil war he served in the 134 th Pa Regiment and was accounted a good and worthy soldier. His funeral was held at his home last Sunday and was one of the largest that ever occurred in that part of our county. ANDERSON—At his home in this place, Sunday night, March 29. 1903, Cyrus E. Anderson, Esq., aged 80 years, 7 months and 25 days. Mr. Anderson came from Alleghenv county to the lower part of this county when quite a young mi»n and taught school. Our first recollection of him is as a school teacher. In 1847 he married Miss Ruth Brown, daughter of Adam Brown, and one of a large connection of that name, now mostly living in Penn twp. About 1854 he removed to Mead ville and when in 1857 the late Adam Ekis of Clinton twp. was elected Regis ter and Recorder of this county he had Mr. Anderson come back to Butler and take charge of the office. The duties of this office he filled for Mr. Ekis the whole term of three years, and at ils close in 1860 Mr. Anderson was himself nominated by the Republican party and elected Register and Recor'er. The war of the Rebellion coming on, 1861, Capt. Anderson aided largely in raising Company Cof what became the 134 th Regiment, became Captain of the com panv and leaving hjs office behind went to the war. All his fellow soldiers spoke of him as a brave officer and pa triotic man. He became Major of that regiment and was in several of its bat ties. In 1803 it was mustered out and he returned home. In the fall of the same year, 1863. he with others estab lished the newspaper then and now known as the "CITIZEN," and in April 1869 he sold the same to John H Nei< ley. The same year he was elected by the Republican party Protbonotarv of the county and filled satisfactorily that office for a term of three years. After this be was a clerk in several of the of fices about the Court House,filling them all well and faithfully. He was careful and painstaking in all things. Shortly after he was elected a Justice of the Peace of this borough and filled said office oIT arid on to the time of bis death. His office is not/ vacant and all around is quiet. His faniiliarforin will be seen no more upon onr streets He will be missed by all He leaves a widow and four children, who all have the sympathy of this en tire community. He was nn active member all bis life of the Methodist church and a Sunday School teacher in the same for more than forty years. His remains were taken to that church Wednesday, when the funeral services were held and his remains followed to the grave by a %ery large number of friends ami relatives Obituary. f Mrs. Sarah Crawford, a demen'ed ' woman, aged rt2 years, and formerly of ' Cherry twp., died at the County Home, - liiMt Wednesday, and her body whs Lnr : ied by her married daaghters. who now live in Butler. She had l>een in the 1 the Home for about, two years and whm ' quite a charge to Snpt. Graham and > family. Juluis McCoy, a colored man from Richmond* Va., died at the Butler Gen ' eral Hospital, last Monday. The Pittebuiv papers of Monday last inform ns of tne death of Mrs. Sarah N McCandless, widow of the late Judge Wilson McCandless, in the !H)th year of her ago. Mrs. McCanless was the youngest daughter of Mrs. Sarah Col lins, from whom nearlv all the lands about Butler were obtained. Away back, 1815, and along there. Mrs. Col lins with her husband, Thomas Collins, lived in lJutler. He died here, and was buried in the old Catholic grave yard here and his bones lay there. The late Mrs Judge McClure was also a daugh ter of Thomas Collins and therefore a sister to Mrs. McCandless. Mrs. Collins, their mother, was a daughter of Steohen Lowry, from whom she inherited all her lands in this county and which at her death fell to her heirs. Mrs. Mc- Clure, Mrs. McCawlkss and a Mrs. Evans, long since deceased. This is a Fact. There is no (Jucstion About it. It's a Plain Statement of f**acfs Made by a liutlcr citizen.

Competition ami tlie Oeiieral Public. The old truisui "Competition is the life cf trade" stirs an echo in the breast of every right thinking man, and in no other business is competition of such vital importance to the public as in that of transportation. A irreater proportion of the public is directly affected by this medium than by any other branch of | business: it comes home alike to the dealer and to the customer. Monopoly of public utilities is detri mental to progress and in no way can the public good be better conserved than by healthy competition in the transportation business. Such rivalry is productive of moderan equipment and improvements; more courteous atten tion by employees on competing lines, and a higher class of service in every respect. In general liues of business the ten dancy is toward competion, but in the business of transporting the public the other extreme is the rule. In the great majority of the cities the street railway systems are owned and controlled by one man or combination of men, who by political patronage and by the use of money, make competition impossible. A noted writer on Political Economy says "The interests of the people are best served by municipal ownership of public utilities, and next to this the healthy competition of a rival company is the best safeguard of the public wel fare."
