POLITICAL.
The Republicans of the county should
not forget to go to- their usual polling
places, next Saturday afternoon, and
vote their choice for Jury Commissioner
and also select good men for Return
Judges or Co. Committeemen, as next
year will be a very important one—
politically
CHAIRMAN LEIGH NER mailed the
tickets and clectiou papers to the Coun
tv Committeemen some days ago, and
all should be at the polls Saturday
afternoon.
COUSIN SAM'S apology for signing the
Salus-Grady libel bill is as lame as the
bill itself. The origin of this bill has
never been disclosed, and the mere fact
that it was rushed throngh both 1 ranch
os of the Legislature within four days
and those the last of the session, was
enough to condemn it.
There is some talk of taking the law,
(as it now is) to the Supreme Court; but
what could be expected of a Court that
sustained the Ripper billv
The people of this state should
awaken to the fact that we are in bad
shape, politically, and make some
changes.
The next Legislature of Pennsylvania
shonld be controlled by influences very
different from those that have prevailed
during the last few sessions.
'i hat Libel Bill Signed.
Governor Pennypacker heretofore has
handltd the legislation that has come
before him with intelligence and
cocsciention=ness, but when it corner to
signing the Libel bill that has been de
nounced from one end of this broad
land to the other we cannot agree with
him that he has acted wisely.
lie thinks that every reputable news
paper ought to welcome the bill, but the
plain fact remains that, so far as we
know, not one single reputable journal
in Pennsylvania has failed to oppose the
measure, and there will not be one that
will not follow this blow at liberty un
til it is wiped off the statute books. We
believe it to be thoroughly unconstitu
tional. an attempt at such utter de
spotism that i); might even bo carried
before the Supreme Court of the United
States if necessary.
There is no doubt that pnblic men
have been abused most shainelnl.y by
giuiu jonrnals.and because of this abuse
the bill was put through the Legisla.
tnre.under orders and in a manner that
was not regular. It was hoped by
political victims that this measure
would stop abuse.
It won't. Under the law that did ex
ist until the Governor attached his
" name to this new one there was every
opportunity for libel suits and the col
lection of damages. There was every
protection- If under the old law a poli
tician did not dare to go into the courts
and fue he won't dare to now. News
papers that have assailed in the past
will continue to assail just the same,
aud they will be just as exempt from
prosecution. The very point that the
law aims at will not be attained. It is
absurd to think otherwise.
The Inquirer is not in tho libeling
business, and so far as it is concerned it
i« not affected. Its concern is not per
sonal, but it is deeply concerned in the
attempt to throttle that freedom of
discussion which the Constitution of
Pennsylvania especially grants and
which the Constitntion of the United
State upholds by prohibiting Congress
from making any laws denying it.
With all due respect to the Governor
we cannot but feel that the spirit
breathed by this law is that which
might have been expected iu the dark
ages, a spirit opposed to freedom of (lis
cussion, to liberty and independence.
Of course, such a law will not stand,
but meanwhile Pennsylvania will at
tract the eyes of the other States of the
Union, before which it will be placed in
a most unfavorable
GOVERNOR PENNYPACKER in his
statement of reasons and apology for
signing the press muzzier, practically
admits that he did it because they made
pictures of him and says that in Eng
land. a century ago, the publishers
would havo been drawn and quartered.
That's the period to which his ideas l>e
long. According to him the newspapers
are resi»onsible for the deaths of Presi
dents Garfield and McKinley and are
the worst enemies the government has.

Butler County Land Titles.
One of the most interesting maps in
Bntler hangs on the wali of Engineer
office in the Armory build
ing.
It is a copy of the ' Depreciation and
•Donation" districts of Butler county,
made by Surveyor James Dunlap. per
haps sixty years ago.
The line, which ran from the month
of th" Mahoning due west to the state
line, passed through this county, near
the mouth of McGraths run in Centre
twp. and on west between Prospect and
Prtersville.
The part of the county to the south of
this line was in the Depreciation dis
trict, and was purchased—in part at
least —by certificates issued in lien of
the depreciated currency of Revolution
ary times: while the greater part of the
county to the north of this line came
within the First and Second Donation
districts, i.e. territory set apart, sur
veyed into tracts, and drawn by lot by
the Pennsylvania soldiers of the Revo
lutionary War.
The southern part of the county
which was the first disposed of. is divid
ed into five large districts, named after
the surveyors employed by the state.
•Joshua Elder's District'' took in terri
tory that is now divided into Buffalo.
Winfield, Clearfield and part of Donegal
twps. . ~
"James Cunningham's District com
prised territory that is now divided in
to Middlesex. Clinton. Penn. Jefferson,
Butler, Summit and half of Centre and
Oakland twps.
An unnamed district comprised terri
tory that is now diyided into Adams,
Forward. Connoquenessing and part of
Franklin twps.: while Wm. Alexander's
district and Samuel Nicholson's district
comprised Cranberry, Jackson, Lancas
ter and part of Muddycreek twps-di
vided into equal parts by a north and
south line. These districts likely ex
tended into the adjoining counties, and
were divided into tracts for farms or
settlements by north and south,and east
and west linep, excepting the unnamed
district in which the lines run irregu
larly—those of the Chew dii-trict to the
west of the present location of Renfrew
running at 45 degree angles.
The Cunningham district wan twice
the size of any of the others, and the
Cunningham brothers came here, and
were instrumental in having the county
seat located where it is, and named af-
Col. Butler, who was killed at St. Clair's
defeat. , , ,
The First Donation district, inclnded
a strip, about five miles wide, across the
county, north of th»- line mentioned;
and the Second Donation district
another strip of same dimensions to the
north of it. These districts were also
surveyed into tracts of various dimen
sions, and drawn by lot by the Pennsyl
vania soldiers of the Revolution, and
either settled by them or transferred to
i others. For instance we notice a tract
in the First district, drawn by Col.
David Broadhead, who was one of the
leaders of the Whisky Insurrection; and
in the Second district one drawn by Maj.
Gen. A S. Hall, and transferred to
James Thompson: other tracts were
drawn by Lt. Col. North, Col. John
ston. Brig. Gen. Hand,-etc. Part of the
northeastern corner of the county was
condensed as being unfit for settlement
they knowing nothing of oil and gss
in those days.
A little history is not out of place in
noting the land titles. The defeat of
St. Clair in 1791 spread consternation to
the early settlers of this section, many
of whom abandoned their settlements,
and retired across the rivers, and it was
not until after Wayne's victory in 1794,
and the treaty with the Indians at
Greenville, 0.. that they felt safe .in
venturing back.
The "'Whisky Insurrection" which
occurred duriug the period, 1791 94,
also helped to populate this county, as
some of its refugees—men whj lied to
essape arrest -settled here; but men
were as good judges of land then as they
are now, and the rich valleys of the
streams in Ohio and Indiana which
empty into the Ohio, filled up with
settlers faster than this country did.
During that period, also a number of
great land companies were formed in
the eastern cities, and among them was
that of the North American Laud Co.
of Philadelphia under the mangement
i of Robert Morris, John Nicholson and
' James Greenleaf, which secured some
tracts of land in this county.
The title to all the lands in Pennsyl
vania was vested in Wm. Penu and his
' heirs by royal charter in 1081, but the
i Pennsylvania Legislature of 1779, di
vested this charter. excepting the pri
vate estates of the Penns; confirmed the
titles of all third parties acquired before
the 4th of July, 1770, and reserved all
vacant lands for defraying the expenses
, of the war and rewarding the soldiers
of the state in the war of the Re vol u
-1 tion.
Connecticut at one time claimed a
strip across Pennsylvania and into Ohio
but released it to the United States, and
by it to Pennsylvania, and the "trian
gle," an overlooked tract along Lake
Erie, was purchased by the national
government from the Cornplanter In
dians for 1,900 pounds and sold to Penn
sylvania for $150,040.25.
Virginia, too, at one time claimed.
western Pennsylvania south of the <Jliio. I
aud for several years there was conten
tion between the two states as to the
ownership of Pittsburg, which, in 17
had a population of 1.400.
The division of Western Pennsylva
nia, north ot the Ohio and west of the
Allegheny into the two great districts,
called thp Depreciation lands and tbo
Donation lands; and the disputes r<
garding land titles that followed is -i
forth in James R Albach's "Annals of
the West," published in Pittsburg in
1856, as follows :
"During the Revolution and espec
ially between the years 1777 and 1781,
the value of the bills of credit issued by
the state of Pennsylvania, as well us
those issued by the Continental Con
gresß, continued gradually to depreciate
until they fell to a mere nominal value.
Great losses were, in consequence, sus
tained by the holders of these certifi
cates, especially by the officers and sol
diera of the State troops, who received
them in payment of their services, and
incessant disputes arose in relation to
the deductions to be made from the face
of the bills. To remedy this inconv •«-
ience, the Legislature, by the act of the
iid of April. 1781, fixed a scale ot depre
ciation, varying from one and a halt to
seventy-five per cent, for each month
between the years 1777 and 1781, accor
ding to which the accounts of tho army
should l>e settled. The State, other
wise unable to pay the officers and sol
diers of the State establishment, gave
them certificates in conformity with the
prescribed scale, aud these, which wen
called depreciation certificates, were
made receivable in payment for land*
sold by the state.
In order to provide for the redetnp
tion of these depreciation certificat M. it
was enacted by a law ot tho 19th of
March, 17811, 'that for tho more speedy
and effectual complying with the in
tention of the law afonsaid, there be,
and hereby is, located and laid off a cer
tain tract of land as follows: Beginning
where the we'eni tioundiiry of this
State crosses ',h>. Ohio river, thence i|p
tho said river to Fort Pitt, thence o»
the Allegheny river to the mouth of
Ma;ulboughiton (Mahoning) creek,
thence by a west line to the western
boundary of this State, thence south by
the said boundary to the place of begin
ning reserving to the nse of the state
three thousand acres, in an oblong of
not less than one mile in depth from the
Alleghf ny and Ohio rivers, and extend
ing up and down the said rivers, from
opposite Fort Pitt, as far as may tie
necessary to Include the same: and the
further quantity of three thousand acres
on the Ohio, and on both sides of Bea
ver creek, including Fort Mcintosh, all
which remaining tract of land as afore
said is hereby appropriated as a further
fund for the purpose of redeeming the
the certificates aforesaid, that is to say,
the surveyor generHl of this Stato shall,
according to such directii us as may be
«iven him by the Supreme Execntive
Council, cause the aforesaid tract of
land to be laid out in lots of not less
than two hundred, and not more than
three hundred uud fifty acres each,
numbering tin* same lots numerically
on the draught or plot of the country
aforesaid, and shall, as soon as the
same, or one hundred lots thereof, are J
surveyed, together with the secretary of '
the laud office, and the receiver-general, !
proceed to sell the same lots in numeri j
<-al order, at such times ami places, and
under such regulations as shall be ap
pointed by the Supreme Executive
Council; the full consideration at sn.-h
sales -hall be paid into the receiver-gen
eral's office, either in gold or silver, or
in certificate? aforesaid, upon full pay
ment of which consideration, and the
expense of surveying, together with all
fees of the different offices, patents shall
be issued in the usual form to the sev
erl buyers cr vendees, and the different
sums in specif, that may be pai.i into
the receiver-general's office, shall be
paid over bv him to the treasury of this
State, for the purpose of redeeming
such certificates as may remain unsatis
fied at the end of such sales."
By an act of the 7th of March, I<Bo.
the "faith of the State was pleged to the j
officers and privates belonging to the
State in the Federal army, to bestow
upon them "certain donations and
quantities of land, according to their
several ranks: to be surveyed and divid
ed off to them, severally, at the end of
the war."
■ To be continued.)
Some Thing's «i s They Arc.
Sunday afternoon, inspired by a de
sire to find out if certain things said
were true, your scribe took a walk
through the West End.
New Castle street was the first
thoroughfare traversed It is full of
hills and valleys, bumps and ruts. But
ler has a street scraper, but it hasn t
been used on New Castle street and
never did street need it worse. The
same can be said of Pierce Ave. and
other streets in the West End.
What is our Street Commissioner and
his corps doing?
At the corner of New Castle and Mul
berry streets a grocery store was en
countered in active operation on San
day afternoon. We stepped in: a young
man was buying candy, a woman was
lasting her account book with the pro
prietor and settling her grocery bill.
Three or four men were there, they said
something to the grocer in Polish and
he pointed to a back stairway down
which the men disappeared. A negro
came in with a bucket. V. e didn t wait
to see what he got in it: on going out,
another boy with a bucket was en
countered entering the door. Turning
down Mulberry street we passed the
side windows of the store basement.
The room was full of men, one was in
the act of drinking as we passed. At
the rear of the building were piled a
number of barrels, most of them label
ed "Refined Sweet Cider. On Pillow
street at the south end of Mulberry,
another Polish store was encountered.
It is approached by steep and dangeious
steps. A woman and child proceeded
us up the stairs and were admitted. On
trying the door it was found locked, a
clerk at once hastened to undo it and
admit us, but was motioned to desist,
and we went away without entering,
but a glance through the door had
shown one woman paying her book nc
count, two others baying and several
standing around. There were a dozen
men. woman and children in the store
room. Coming down the steps two men
were met emerging from the back door
of the basement, they were both wiping
their months in a significant manner.
"Refined Sweet Cider" barrels were
strewn around this store also. We do
not known what the men we saw drank,
nor what the boys got in buckets,
but American neighbors say the stores
sell cider all the time and the initial' <1
can get beer also, especially on Sunday
afternoons. We don't believe a dozen
men would sneak into the basement of
any store to drink sweet cider only
Mulberry street is built up with some
twenty small houses of four or five
rooms, a few more face on Pillow St.
These houses could not liavo cost their
owner more than SIOOO a piece, bat each
of them brings S2O rent every month
The one in which the store is brings $-•">,
that is pretty good interest on the in
vestment. One of the houses has on it
front this sign "Money ord.-rs to all
parts of the world," and several other
signs in foreign languages. These
houses are "thickly populated." An
American nearby counted twenty-six
men leave one house with their dint-r
pails. The previous Saturday he saw
twenty kegs of beer unloaded at that
house, and by Sunday noon they had all
been tossed into the yard, empty.
Numerous kegs decorated the street
and back and front yards abutting.
At one house we saw a man force a
woman into a corner of the porch uud
kiss her repeatedly while two other
i men, a woman aud a boy slapped liitn
on the back with their hands. They
seemed to be having lots of fnn.
Midway down the street a little r'-n
wends its way across from tho north
west. Down this run we walked uiid
soon discovered that the owner had c>.
strncted private sewers for the hoit; s
(which are equipped with bath-tubs : ti I
water-closets) and that these s-.v?,.s
drained into the run. transforming tt
into a slimy gutter of filth and offal
Reeking will its foul disease bearing
odors, the run Hows down through the
fields of Shakeley, Pillow ami Stamni,
an open sewer close to their doors
At Pillow's the run is collected
in a stagnant, scum covered, font smell
ing pool.
A similar sewer emptic ; into the inn
traversing Daffy's field south of Mai
berry street and the two sewer rur.t
converge in the clay field of Stainiu's
brickyard, converting it into a black,
fever-breeding swamp. This pdlutel
run flows through two big pipes und-r
Fair Gronnd ave. on both sides of tvhich
it Is dammed up. stagnant,coven d '.vith
green senm and full of rubbi-h !
filth. It, empties into the old channel
which formed Vogeley's island, which
also has enough garbage in it to make
it dangerous to health. Thy whole
thing may l>e the cause of an epidemic
iu the near future.
At the corner of Pillow St and Pierce
Ave is a set of steps which constantly
invites the pedestrian to break his neck.
The Street Car Co. has taken a third
of Pierce Ave. all for itself and the con
stable and district attorney are right iu
going after them for maintaining a
nnisatice.
At the Rod Row on Pierce Ave. •
found the dirtiest and most revolting
condition of affairs, considering th >
time it has had to develop, that < ould
exist. Red Row consists of eleven long
flat-roofed, up and down boarded build
mgs or more properly shanties.
Each shanty is divided into six
apartments or houses of four rooms
each, which rent for 88 per uionth. At
this rate the o'i houses in the row yield
so.{:} 7 per year as much AS or more
than the whole row could have cost,.
Within, the houses are nnpainted and
the chimneys even are unplast'-red.
In tho rear for each Ket of six houses
there are two lug closets without pits.
Immediately behind each closet is a big
siuk or hole, six or eight feet deep arid
about ten feet across the top. Into these
sinks run the human excrement from
the closets, and into them is thrown all
the garbage, dish-water and refuse from
the nouses What more horried com
lunation could human eyes behold,
human noses smell or human beings be
forced to live beside. There the dirt
holes aie end there they have been for
nine months past The ground about
them is perforated with rat holes like
western prairie dog mounds. Most of
them are full to the brink with the
combination of surface water and filth,
topped with a fringe of beer kegs In
every sink were kegs; iu one IU, in
another 13, others had as few as five or
six. When those kegs are used in the
future wonder what, the flavor of their
beer will be? Some time ago a man fell
into one of thete holes and was almost
drowned when fished out. Last week a
little girl fell in and on Sunday she was
reported to be dying ana two doctors
were trying to save her life. One of
the Slavs who spoke fairly good
English, said "This is a terrible stink.
But what can we do? There is no other
place to go. When hot weather comes
we will all have fever."
Another young fellow said that Satur
day night three of his countrymen had
been robbed by pick (tockets and foot
pads, losing sjc; I, $l5O and s:>7. respec
tively.
There is work for the District At
torney and Board of Health iu the
West End and every good citizen should
uphold them in being strenuous iu this
matter.
In justice to the Standard Steel Car
Co.. Mr. McCool, and Mr. Duffy, it has
been learned since this article was put
in type that the Car Co. has already
commenced work on a S7OOO sewer for
the Car Works and Red Row and that
a petition for the sewering of Pillow Ht.
has been signed

THK MOON.
The Moon, oar nearest neighbor in
*paee, is dead, and has been so for aires.
Being dead, she has no light of her own,
bat she reflects the light of the stin to
us whenever we are at a suitable angle
to receive it. She revolves about the I
Earth once in twenty nine and one half
days. During this time she also rotates j
once on her axis always keeping the j
same side toward the earth. No man [
ever saw the "other side of the Moon, :
altho on account of the slight inclina i
tion of her axis, both poles become al- j
ternately visible to us
At New Moon the centres of the Sun,
Moon and Earth are in line. Our side
of the Moon now receives no direct sun
light though we are unable to see a j
faint circle by means of the "earth
shine" or sun reflected by the earth.
The "lunarians" if there were any such
being, viewing the earth at this time,
would of course enjoy "full earth."
As the moon moves further away
from the sun, more and more light
reaches our side of her and when she
is at right angles with the earth and
sun, she is said to be at the "fir.-t
quarter. ' She then advances to the
"full" when the whole circle is illumi
nated. The "lunarians" would now
have "new earth." After fnll moon,
the same changes take place in reverse
order, bringing her back again to the
new. The moon each day advances
thirteen degrees ID her path among the
stars, changing her zodical sign once
every two or three days. She passes
the meridian fifty-one uiinntes later
each day. Her mass is about one
eightieth that of the earth and her
volume one-forthy-nintli the earth's
volume. Her distance from the earth
is not always the same, the average dis
tance being 239,000 miles She has no
atmosphere, no water in the liquid form
—therefore no animal inhabitants.
Th« latest telescopes bring the moon
within one-hundred miles of us. so that
her surface has been studied more
thoroughly than any other telescopic
object.
It is covered with greater elevations
and depressions than the earth surface
Craters of extinct volcanoes exif-t
everywhere. The largest crater on the
earth in one of the Japanese islands, is
seveu miles in diameter while on the
moon there are some as much as one
hundred miles across. These give
evidence that the moon was once a
scene of the most intense volcanic
activity, but now there is no sign of
life, the only heat she has is, like her
light, reflected.
Superstition has always connected
weather changes with changes in the
phase of the moon. We can easily
see that this connection is not borne
out by the facts, for the same phases
of the moon -'being" different weather
changes to places not far apart. How
ever, there is one great undisputed in
fluence on the earth that the moon has,
and that is foun<l in the tides, which
are plainly to be attributed to the at
tractive power of the sun and moon.

tinguished lawyer in his day.
Nervous Dyspepsia
Its Cause and Cure
Overwork any organ and it gives out
—the stomch is no exception. Ask it
to digest anything, al any time in half
the time required, and like an over
driven horse, it balks Nature it tended
the stomach should have regular hours.
A time to work, a lime to rest—and
when yon break up this habit, yon up
set the whole arrangement. The
stomach nerves become exhausted, the
glands refuse to act, the food does not
digest—lies heavy,ferments and refieats
There is pain, gas forms, bloating oc
curs. the heart becomes irregular and a
nervous, irritable feeling sets in. This
is nervous dyspepsia and Dr. A. W.
Chase's Ntrve Bills its cure.
Mrs. Finncll of 264 Center Ave., Butter,
Pa. , says.—"Dr. A. W. Chase's Nerve
Pills nre jnst splendid. They brace one
up so finely—after a short use I felt so
much refreshed. I presume because I
felt so well. So far as the stomach is
concerned they aid digestion finely. I
have nsed thein myself and given them
to the children with equally good re
sults. It was fortunate I was told D.
11. Wuller, Druggist of 112 South Main
St., had them."
