POLITICAL.
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 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.

Mr. Swain was one of the leading cit

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

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

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

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

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.

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." R
