It would have been better for its general reputation, had it adjourned several days ago. Dnring the last three days of last week A bill creating a new libel law(if the Governor signs it) was rushed through both houses —Durham, Penrose and others doing the bullving. The libel laws of this state are more strict to-day than those of any other state in the Union, and no amendments or additions are needed, but the gang that has been robbing the County of Philadelphia for years want a catch in a couple of newspapers there that have been too outspoken in their criticisms. The Senate, which has been as much of a curse to the state for years as has been the U. S. Senate to the Nation, passed the bill almost unanimously: and in the House, a majority of the members "took orders" or something else from the gang and voted for it. Our two members yoted against it. The bill is designed to circumvent the mandate of the Constitution as to the freedom of the press to criticise the doings of public officials and also the law regarding the character of candi dates. It will promote blackmailing suits for trifling discrepancies as to facts, and by the use of the word "neg ligence" throws the burden of proof upon the publisher. It should never have been reported from Committee, but under present conditions it was im possible for the Cancer of Quayisui to help cropping out in some form. The newspapers of the state "with one accord" haye protested against it, and Gov. Pennypacker has fixed upon Tuesday of next week, in the Hall of the House, as the time and place for a public hearing. POLITICAL. The New Castle Tribune is making things interesting in Lawrence county for what it calls tho "Brewery Ring." John P- El kin will be a candidate for Governor in 1900. His boom was launched at the meeting of the Indiana County Republican Committee, last Saturday. At the Republican primary of Law rence county, last Saturday, the anti- Wallace faction won out, and will con trol the County Committee two to one. The Herald (Republican) says:— The battle is over, the victory won. The Wallace machine has gone down to defeat at tLe close of one of the fiercest campaigns ever waged within the Republican party in Lawrence county. It made a desperate fight to gain control of the County Committee in order to pave the way for victory next Spring, and it has lost by a mar gin so decisive as to be prophetic. The anti-Wallace Republicans control the County Committee, about two to one. The vote cast by the opponents of Wallace domination was little short of marvelons. They had no money and they bad no whisky; their only argu ment for the winning of votes was an appeal to manhood and conscience. They fought a compact, perfectly or ganized machine that iB possessed of great wealth and that controls every saloon in Lawrence county, a machine that used every weapon in its arsenal in its attempt to capture the machinery of tho party that it might use it for the perpetuation of its own power. A victory against such odds is a mag nificent vindication of the honesty and decency of tho Republican party in Lawrence county. E. L. Ayres was nominated for Sheriff; J. V. Cunningham for District At torney ; and Alex. McConnell for Jury Commissioner. G. A. It. Notes. Department Commander Scott made n speech at the meeting in Old City Hall, Pittsburg, last Thursday night, to celebrate the anniversary of Lee s sur render, on which he said: "While I was born up in old Bntler county, where nothing much besides good farm products are said to bo raised, we still were able to hear tho gun which fired on Ft. Sumter, and after I had listened to the echoes of that gun for a few days, and had heard a thrill ing sermon preached by one of our dear old Butler connty preachers, I went out resolved to fi«ht for my country Ihe next step was placing my name on the list , the next step a camp of soldiers on Penn avenur. Pittsburg; the next picture I recall was the assembling of soldiers in Allegheny to be mustered in to the army by that great war Gover nor, Andrew Curtin, where he christen ed us the Seventy-eighth Regiment of Volunteer infantry. Mr. Scott graphically traced the his t.-ry of the regiment through the war, an<l it-traced its steps with its few survivors to their homes. In his opinion the sur i ender at Appomattox created just as distinct an epoch in the world's history as the birth of Christ had done for the im-ral world. He paid a high tribnte to the nameless volunteer soldier, plac line him even on a higher plane than ih.i names of Washington. Jefferson, iniry, Lafayette, and all the Ilovolu ts nary fathers. It was, he said, the 1 .it k and file of the volunteer soldiery t 'ii r. wiped ont slavery, nnd with their : ;t!<B and bayonets wrote the brightest 1 sof this or any other country's his • ' ry. Ho concluded with a glowing ■' ibute to the (i. A. li. as an organiza tion. THE United States Circuit Conrt of ■ | ijoals for the District of Minnesota • :< emphatically declared the Northern H.-. urities Company, a railroad combine to «e in violation of the l»w. The de f< dants will appeal to the Supreme ' • urt, but under the provisions of the ai i passed by the last Congress for ex p. -liting such cases n final adjudication will not long be delayed So far as the en H has gone the Government has won < . ry point of its contention. The < ■ -nit Court's opinion, it will l>e re linked, is in accord with the argument ot i). T. Watson, Esq.; of Pittitburg. of nf < ounsel for the Government, uphold it; : the reasoning pursued in his address . t rendering the decision upon the is-;ies thus raised. finishing aside the contentions of the defendants the court bluntly holds that tt <- formation of the holding company in. vitably resulted in restraint of inter Ht we commerce. The question of in tti.tionis lsjst determined by the se quence. It is declared impossible that the promoters should l»e permitted to do something thrcugh the medium of an artificial corporation which they could not do as individuals. HAKKISBUItCJ. In the House. Monday night, the spe cial appropriation bills for some Nor mal schools, including the one at Slip peryrock, were reported negatively from Committee. Gov. Pennypacker approved of some bills that day, and among them one ere- . ating a clerk to the .Jury Commission ers at 15 a day: and one authorizing the ; appointment of a deputy game protec- ; tor in each county. On Tuesday Rep Blumle, the author of the family pension bill and another Democrat, were unseated, and two Re publicans seated in their places. In the Senate and House a large : number of bills, including the Spronl | Road Bill, were passed finally and sent to the Governor. The Governor signed some bills that day, including the Judge s salary, which raises the salary of the general run of judges in the state from $4,000 to $5,000 per year, beginning Jan. 1, 1904: and i one making it the duty of school direct ors to adopt a modern system of disen fecting all school buildings. THE Moon was eclipsed last Saturday so was President Roosevelt. The Moon was in the shadow of the Earth; while Teddy was in the shadow of the moun tains of Yellowstone Park, forty miles ! from nowhere, accompanied by a few personal friends and surrounded by a choice assortment of bears, elks, moun tain lions, goats and other denizens of primeval forests. The law forbids the shooting of the playful bears of the Park, and the mountain lions are hiding from Teddy. "FREE Speech," "Free Press'' and ' Freedom of Conscience" have always been cherished as our three great rights in Republican government. But now a few politicians at Harrisburg, fearful of the free press Leek to muzzle it. The next step they will take will be against free speech. The two go to gether Will a free people submit to all of this? The First Clear Night. Those who had the opportunity of see ing the moon pass through the earth's shadow on Saturday evening last, saw the only eclipse visible in our longitude this year. Eclipses of the moon always occur at her full, because then only could she pass into the shadow of the earth. Before going on to the study of the fixed stars we must tie sure we know the planets now visible—to ayoid con fusion. The most brilliant object in onr western sky these evening* is the planet Venus, higher in the sky each night. Farther east is Mars, which is red in color and passes the meridian about ten o'clock. These two planets revolve about the sun just as our earth does. Once we know them we can make no mistake about them. Turning to tho southwestern quart?" of the heavens, look for four bright stars forming a quadrilateral and enclosing a row of three stars stretched across it This is the constellation Orion, the "mighty hunter," and it contains more bright stars than other constellation. This constellation is spoken of in many ancient writings, as in Jobix9: "Which maketh Arctnrus, Orion and Pleiades.", The four stars mark out the body of Orion, the row of three his belt, and several faint ones the sword suspended from his bell. The easternmost of the four main stars is Betelgeuse and it. with two brilliant ones in other constel lations, form an immense equilateral triangle. One of these two, Sirius, is easily found on account of its great brilliance, it being the brightest star in the heavens. When you have it and Betelgeuse you can easily find the third, Procyon. "Betelgeuse in Orion, and Sirius and Procyon make an equilateral triangle." Sirius is also known as the Great Dog Star, Procyon as the Little Dog Star, each being the brightest star in the con stellate ns so named Each of these stars has been found recently to be fol lowed by a little companion revolving about it as a center, just as the earth does abont our sun. These companions have actually been seen. Sinus and Procyon, therefore, are suns. Next week we will look at the solar system. PROSPECT STAR CLUB. Winfiehl Township.

Butler Gets It in the Neck. Bntler is more than likely to lose St. . Paul's Orphans Home, the only institu tion of a charitable and educational na ture it has outside of the hospital and common schools. That is the result of i the meeting of the Reformed church gynod, which began Monday evening and concluded Tuesday afternoon. Nearly seventy delegates, ministers and laymen, from the five classes of the synod—Allegheny, Somerset, \\ est more St. Paul's (Butler), and Clarion, attend ed. The Synod was called to order by tee ' vice-president, Rev H. F. Tester of Wilkinsburg. who gave way to the pres ident, Rev. D A. Souders of Irwin, on his arrival. After organization, dur 1 ing which there was a heated discussion as to who were entitled to admission and vote as delegates, the Synod re solved itself into a committee of the whole with Rev. Dr. Lady, of New Kensington, as chairman and the stated clerk. Rev. J. H. Michldry, of Johns town, as secretarv. Dr. P. C. Pragh then called for a re port of the board of directors of St. Paul's Orphans Home. Rev. Dr. Heller, chairman of the board, then reported that Elders Kyle of Pittsburg. Kunkle of Greensburg and A. O. Eberhart of Bntler. three of the trustees, had been commissioned by the board to give an option on the Guaranty Safe Deposit & Trust Co., of Butler, for $75,000. This was done. Kyle and Kunkle signing and Eberhart refusing to sign. This option was then discussed pro and con all Monday evening and Tues day morning. Pres. Heller and Attor ney Kunkle lead the movement to sell, and Dr. John H. Prugh, of Pittsburg, Attorney C. M. Bousch of Meadville, (once a law student in Butler), Rev. Kort, and Rev. D. H. Leeder, of Manor, lead the opposition to sale. Just before noon Tuesday a resolu tion jvas adopted by a yote of 29 to'2l. to the affect that the Synod did not feel justified in selling for less than SIOO,OOO The committee of the whole then re solved itself back into the Synod proper and the gathering at once reversed it self by turning down the resolution by a vote of 30 to 20. During the mornini* an offer was laid before the Synod by local men of $20,- 000, for 24 lots, 12 taking up the entire Brady street frontage and 12 back of these fronting north on E. Pearl street, as laid out \hrough the property. In the afternoon a resolution was adopted leaving the whole matter in the hands of the directors or trustees, and empowering them to sell the whole pro perty for $75,000, according to the op tion, or for a better price if they can get it, or to sell off the 24 lots for $20,- 000, whichever they consider best. Ap parently the effect of the resolution is to bind the Synod to the option, which expires Friday, the 17th. The people of this place will be justly indignant at the removal of tlie home. Business men as a rule consider the pro perty to be worth from $25,000 to $50,- 000 more than the option price. The buildings could not be duplicated, ac cording to builders, for $40,000. ADMIRAL MONTEJO'S flagship was raised in Manilla bay. last week, and eighty skeletons were fount] in her. School Notes. Jefferson Center school closed on Wed nesday, April Htb.

In the evening ihe school-house was filled to listen to Miss Amabel Lee reciting. Her selections were enjoyed by all, and after the meeting teacher and pupils separated for their vacation.
