"When the Republican Committee of Butler County the other day voted down a re.-olntion to enable the party voters at the primaries to express their preferences for a candidate for Governor, it must have for gotten the action on this subject in Re publican State Conventions. The State Convention of 1883 put the following in the platform: It is the sense of the Convention that the freest and lnllest expression of Republican sentiment should be encouraged and sought in the primary meetings, which are the fountain of party action and source of pop ular rule. That declaration is thoroughly Repub lican in its character, and it is the only course for the party to pursue. This reso lution was born of the disastrous exper ience of 1882, and the policy of suppressing the popular voice in making delegates and having everything done through county committees, which had been so much prac ticed. It was a protest, not against candi dates, but against methods which substan tially gave the people no voice. What the Butler County Committee means by its action it is not easy to see. It is the highest privilege of the citizen to express his preference for candidates for public office, and not the slightest obstacle should be thrown in the way of that. On the contrary, as the State Convention reso lution says, "the freest and fullest ex pression of Republican sentiment should be encouraged and sought in the primary meetings." The Butler County Committee has taken a position exactly the reverse of this. The action of the committee, however, need not prevent the party voters from ex pressing their choice at the primaries. In fact, under the circumstances, it seems particularly important that they should do so. Xone can speak for them so well as they can speak for themselves, and, as they are "the fountain of party action and source of popular rule," there is no way of knowing what the party action should be unless they speak. The interference with nominations by county committees has had its day. It was condemned and the people broke away from it in 1882. There is not only no de mand for a restoration of it, but it may be taken for granted that any attempt in that direction will call out popular protest. When party action is based upon the peo ple's will no mistake can be made." The above is from the Philadelphia Press, the leading Republican paper.of the State; and it does good service for the party in bringing to light the resolution of the State Convention of 1883. Had the motion made to our county convention been more fnlly discussed and better understood it would probably have carried. As it is, the present campaign for the Re publican nomination for Governor,in which the Chairman of the State Commitee is traveling over the State, setting up dele gates for his pot for the office, and using the power in the hands of our U. S. Sen ators to accomplish his ends, will pr#bably be an eye-opener lor the Republicans all over the State. The only way to stop such work is by requiring the rank and file of the party to name the candidates for the State offices, and it will be a very easy matter for them to post themselves on the merits and claims of the respective candi dates. It is not too lato yet for the Re publicans of this county to inquire of the gentlemen who have announced their de sire to be members of the State convention as to their proposed action,and to endeavor to remedy tho matter, if necessary, by bringing out other candidates whoso views and theirs accord. Auothepjuatter that the Republicans of the county should take into consideration at the coming primary is that of United States Senator. The term of J. Donald Cameron expires next March, and his successor is to be elected by the State legislature that meets next winter. Pennsylvania, the second State in tho Union in population, and tho first in material and manufacturing interests, is represented in the National Senate by two daring politicians, neither of whom seejiis to have much aptitudo or capacity for the real business of tho Nation, or spends much time in the Senate chamber. The State is practically unrepresented in the Senate, and men who show a capacity for public affairs are pushed aside for the favorites of those in power. This, also, can be remedied, or at least bettered, at the primaries by tho popular vote, and the sooner wo come to it the better. CHICAGO gets ail she wauts. After a hot fight in the House at Washington last Monday, the amendment postponing the "World's Fair till 1893 was carried, but the buildings are to be dedicated on October 12, 1«92, the date of Columbus' discovery. The Fair is to open May 1, '93 and close October 30. Just as soon as Chicago places her guarantee fund of ten millions in the Committee's hands and tho Senate acts favorably, President Harrison will is sue his proclamation inviting foreign na tions to participate. BY tho Greenville (Mercer Co.) Advance- Argus of the '2oth inst. we notice the Hon. James C. Brown has disposed of his in terest in that paper and withdrawn from journalism. Tho Advance-Argus for the past few years has been published by Messrs. Brown and Hippeo. Mr. Brown has now disposed of his interest to the Hon. Levi Morrison, of Mercer county, and the paper will hereafter be published by Messrs. Hippeo and Morrison. In parting with Mr. Brown, tho Republican press of the State, and more particularly this Western portion of it, do so with regret. He has maintained a personal character without blemish, and as editor of the Advance Argun has always been recognized as honest, fair, caudid and able. Wo see that friends are urging him to be a candi date for Congress in this district, and in his last issue he says he may probably be so. but adds: "If anywhere in the 25th district a veritable Saul among tho candi dates should arise and consent to serve the people in Congress we would feel like modestly withdrawing from the contest and advising his nomination and election." Whether a Saul is to arise iu this district or not wc do not know, but cuu say that Mercer county could present no better man than James C. Brown to the con vention of this Congressional district. TUB bill introduced by Congressman Bi'jgham extends the freo delivery system to all towns containing uot less than 5,000 population, and to postoffices, the gross revenue of which exceeds $7,000, and also provides for mail carriers, whoso salaries shall range from sooo to SBSO. If the bill passes it will include Butler, as the gross revenue of our office now exceeds SII,OOO, and the improvement in the efficiency and convenience of the services, which the bill proposes, would be better than decreasing tin* postage rates, which are not now burdensome. ON Tuesday President llurrison issued a proclamation announcing thai the new ex tradition treaty with Great Britain will go into effect on April 4th next. The treaty includes all crimes against the common wealth, excepting political offenses, and alter the date mentioned Canadu will cease to be a K.'iie refuge. THE Governor of Delaware says tho peach crop is safe. Thanks. GKNKRAL CRISIS seems to be in Berlin. TIIK sugar trust dies hard but there's lots of sand in it. WUJUINS predicts a storm. Wiggins is too fresh to last long off of ice. Death of Hon. James T. Lane. We regret to learn of the death of the Hon. James T. Lane, formerly of this place. Mr. Lane was born near Freeport, Pa., and came to Butler when a young man, studied law here with the late Hon. Samuel A. Purviance. and was admitted to the Bar. Shortly after he married Miss Ann Jane Reed, "eldest daughter of Gen. George W. Reed of this place; removed to Davenport, lowa, and rose to distinction in his profession. lie was United States Dis trict Attorney for the State of lowa for nine years, and was regarded as one of the ablest lawyers of that State. He was con sidered by all who knew him to be an honorable and good man and he had many friends here who will respect his memory. Mr. Lane was about sixty years of age. He died at Denver, Colorado, where he was visiting a daughter, on March 20 inst., and his remains were taken to Davenport for interment. Lardintown. Henry Snyder and John Walker have returned home again and are talking of go ing to Chicago this week. Miss Emma Snyder of Kansas City, for merly of this place, is back on a visit to her many friends. Rennie Halstead, Chas. Boice and Chas. Harvey left our school for Sunbury to at tend the Academy. We wish you a pleas ant term, boys. Thos. Peters is engaged in making rails for Wood Gibson. Tommie is quite a rail splitter. The meeting of the trustees and princi pal of the Clinton Academic School on Saturday, caused quite a sensation. There appears to be some dissension among the trustees and teachers. Topsv TTRVY. A DECISION by the Supreme Court of this State has reversed the former custom of holding towns and cities responsible for accidents resulting from bad sidewalks. A property owner in Brookville had allow ed his sidewalks to remain out of repair af ter due notification, and a woman caught her foot in a hole in it and sustained injur ies for which she obtained a judgment against the borough for $5,000 damages. The borough then brought suit against the property owner, but lost the suit, where upon they appealed to the Supreme Court. This court reversed the decision of the lower court and ordered judgment against the property owner. — Exchange. This decision of the Sifpreme Court is certainly good sense as well as good law. We cannot see why the borough should be mulcted in damages and costs on account of the carelessness of some penurious pro perty owner who has been legally notified, but has neglected his duty. Property owners hereafter will be more careful as to the condition of their sidewalks. There are numerous places in Mercer where a misstep might cost the value of the ad joining property to pay the damages, l'rqj perty owners would do well to heed this decision, and councils ought to be prompt in giving notice in regard to defective side walks. —Mercer Dispatch. A CASK of considerable inerest has been decided in St. Louis. Some years ago a citizen of Missouri insured his life for the benefit of his wife. Insured people are apt to live long, and the gentlman's wife died before him. Not only thrift, but tho insured husband lived on and married a second wife. Findlly he died, full of years, having kept up the insurance in its original shape. Then naturally the second wife's children began to squabble with the first wife's abont who was entitled to that insurance money, what was left of it was duly dicided to belong only to the ehildern of the first wile. Men who trvke out life insurance polices, and at the same *>!!", 5 expects to tho husbands oftWO ur more wives, should be carefaV to specify to which wife tho in UTancc money goes. SOME idea of the enormous proportions reached by a single item of the iron indus try, the manufacture of steel rails, may be gathered from the estimate of a Pittsburg paper that it will require two million(2,ooo,- 000) tons of steel rails to meet this year's demand. Orders for more than 1,000,000 tons have already been placed on tho books of the manufacturers for immediate deliv ery. The cost of these rails delivered is estimated at from $06,000,000 to $72,000,- 000. The cost of laying them, including grading, ties, fish bars, switches, frogs and other appliances is estimated at s2f>o,ooo - What a refreshing effect such a demand and such a prospect for iron would have had upon the iron masters in this country in an earlier day, who struggled year after year and finally went into bank ruptcy. TIIK Hon. John M. Greer,of Butler, pass ed through Pittsburg last night on his way to Hurrisburg to attend a meeting of com" mission which has charge of tbo Soldier*- Orphan Schools of the state. Speaking of politics in Butler county,he said: "The But ler Republicans are for T. W. Phillips first, and if he wants the Butler delegates he can liavo them. They favor Stone almost as much as Phillips, and, if the latter is n«t a candidate, Stone can have the delegates. Much of the feeling against Delamater was caused by the fact that the men whom An drews selected to carry the county for Dela mater are not men who arc looked upon as out and out Republicans. Phillips and Stone have the support of all of the solid and influential Republicans.'' —Pittsburg Times of Saturday. THE Republican County Committee OF Butler county have fixed on May 24 for the county primaries, but very unwisely refused to let the people express their opinions on the Gubernatorial question. This is bab politics. Tho people have a right to have opinions and express them, and any effort on the part of county committees to muffle public opinion will not tend to unity or the good of the party. This year particular ly the fullest possible liberty should be given to the people to express their prefer ences.—York Dispatch. EDISON has constructed a phonogruphic clock with a little man in it who talks. At the close of each hour the clock door opens, and the little man steps out and makes his peech.

Xo father with a family of marriageable daughters cau afford to be without one. TIIK Pension Office is already the scene of another battle. Commissioner Raum has crossed the path of Assistant Secretury Bussey, who was the cause of Tanner's (all, and a conflict is inevitable. In carrying out his policy Raum dismissed a number of employees, but his orders wear promptly revoked. The Commissioner needs the sal ary of the position, and may bo forced to submit for that reason. THIRTV persons were ou trial at Miu neupolis last week for lynching llans Olseu. It appears that tho lynching was done at the instigation of Olseu's wife, who wanted to be a widow, and it appeared iu the testimony that herself and the chil dren watched the baugiug front the upstairs window, aud that when it was over the newly «j#de Window Olseu took' the lynchers into htv Jjpuse aud treated them all to a cup of hot coffee. W BAT constitutes a seal to a written in strument bj»s been mude the subject of consideration by the f*ypreuje Court, and it was decided that an elaborate flojjrisJ) under the signature could not be accepted as a seal.

SHERMAN'S antitrust bjll has been amended so us not to uffect labor organisa tions or farmer's alliances. Tnn application of a caveat to stop a marriage is something new. It is stated that a member of Maryland Legislature had contracted a marriage with a lady, and journeyed to the couutf seat to procure a license,when he made the pa n:nl discovery that his rival had filed a caveat aeain.-t the issue, and before he can get it the ease will have to be argued. The wedding day has been postponed, but the old man is a fight er. and won't give up easily. His Grace, the Archbishop of Oanter blry, primate of all England, has applied for a license to sell '*wine and beer to bo drunk on the premises." The premises, however, are those of the church house, and the purpose for which His Grace craves the license is the supplying of liquid re freshment to the clergy of the diocese who are attending the Memorial Jubilee.

IT is noted by the Waterbury American that a career, open to the young men in search of a field that not is overcrowded, is that of electric engineering. It is estimat ed that $600,0(H),000 have been in\ested iu electric inventions and apparatus in this country, over4So,ooo.ooo of which has been invested within a year. In England, dur ing the past season, twenty-one electric companies wero organized in one week. There is going to be a demand for men who kuow how to direct and apply electric force for years to come. * ARTHUR G. HILL is no longer a member of the Massachusetts legislature. He had a bill before the House which provided that in searching for contraband liquor, persons as well at> premises might be searched; A funny member offered as an amendment a clause that prohibited the use of a stomaeh pump in searching persons. The amend ment was adopted by a large majority, and then the bill was killed. This s<> disgusted ilr. Hill that he resigned. IDEA-TECS ST K VK N Si' X—At his home in Frankliu twp., March 122, 189<J.
