it was their portion to endure
all the persecution and affection thai
could be heaped upon them ly theiI
fellow-men. Was there any penalty
that could be afflicted by man that
could be compared to the penalties
of GOd9 The speaker could not be
untrue to his wives and family but
could afford to trust God and endure
Affections from bis enemies. Do not
let the adversary instil into the
hearts of the saints who have not
entered into plural marriage that
they are the saviors of this people.
The work of God would not progress
by virtue of the hardness on their
part to enter this holy relation,
but it would be in consequence of
the virtue Of those in the front
ranks. The speaker did not wish to
defy men but he was willing to suf-
fer if needs for his religion. Let
the saints endeavor 10 carry into eff
feet the teachings OF the servants of
God. Apostles AMI prophets had
worn themselves out ami gone TO
their graves laboring with the geo.
pie to this end. Had the saints not
looked to their temporal interests
to the extent they had, but made
the kingdom of Goo the first object.
how different would be their posi-
ton to-day. There is more to be
feared from the growth of wealth
among us than from the Congress
of the United States, from the Com
missioners and from all the rest of
our OppoSers. Men are disposed to
compromise principle for pelf or
for their own personal welfare. But
this feeling, rightfully belonging to
human nature, should be prevented.
The gospel was restored for that
purpose. The apostles and others
used their talents in the
cause of God and so also should the
talents Of business men be lent to
the same end in the advancement
of the work of the Lord. If this
people did not lend their aid to this
end God would allow their enemies
to prosecute them until they did.
The speaker in conclusion blessed
the congregation.
PRESIDENT WILFORD WOODRUFF
said that he wished to make a few
remarks. He referred to the days of
the prophets and the blessings given
to man and the instruction that God
would be inquired of for all these
blessings. It was the duty of the
saints to pray in secret to the God
Of Israel. Whatever the saints have
to ask for, for their friends, enemies,
the work of God or for any other
cause should be asked for of God.
APOSTLE ERASTUs SNOW said
that when he was Is years old, in
the temple at Kirkland among other
things that were prophesied,
Joseph Smith was prophecied to be
the sixth angel who should blow
the sixth trumphet before the end of
time. This prophecy was given
through young man full of the
holy spirit. Many of US thought
that the prophet Joseph was to con-
tinue with as till the coming of the
Savior, but this was not in the PROV
licences of God.

A SIlertH-s Mistake.

The Supreme Court made an i'm.
portant ruling in regard to a sherifl's
liability for loss arising from the mis-.
appropriation Of money, in it's decision
of the case of the wealth for
use of the Oil City Savings Bank VS..
George Walters and j. Keck ct al
errer to Common Pleas OF Butler ooun-
ty. This was an action brought by
the commonwealth for use of the
savings bank upon the official bond of
George Walters, Sheriff Of Butler coun-
ty, the plaintiffs allegations being that
after sale Of certain real estate, under
writ issuing out of the Common
Pleas Of Venango county, Walters had
turned over the funds realized to the
Prothonotary of the Venango County
Courts, who, in turn, had paid them
to the execution plaintiff, whereby the
savings bank, which had claim upon
the fund, had lost their money. In
the court below the jury were instruct
ed to find in favor Of Walters, upon
the ground that the payment, which
had been made in good faith, was u
good payment, and relieved the sheriff
from responsibility. Justice Turnkey,
10 his opinion, says: The sheriff had
an undoubted right to pay the money
into the proper court of his own coqh-
ty, or into the court from which the
writ issued. BY so doing he would
have avoided all risk, and it would
have been the duty of the court into
which the money was paid to have
distributed 1t to the parties entitled to
it. His distribution of the fund by
payment to the Prothonotary of We
mango county, without the knowledge
or intervention of the court of his own
county or the court whence the writ
issued, cannot be considered a good
payment. Judgment reversed, and
judgment in favor of the Common
wealth for $s,000-Dispotch.

Tariff Interest.

The Philadelphia Press has dispatch
ed special correspondent to interview
the Pittsburgh manufactures relative
to the proposed tariff revision, and
learn whether they were in favor OF a
Tariff Commission, to which the whole
subject sholid be relegated, with au'
thorlty to report bill, or in favor OF
Judge Kelley, and his committee draft
ing bill. The general sentiment
among manufacturers is that Congress
should itself revise the tariff. While
at Pittsburgh the Press correspondent
met Hon. S. H. Miller, who was on
bis way to Washington, and publish
ed the following interview in the Fress
of Ja1. 2nd
The Tariff speech delivered by
Judge Kelley before the New York
Tariff Convention last month, has been
circulated extensively among the prom
iaent manufacturers in the western
part of the State. The gist of this
speech. as will be remembered, was
that internal taxation should be abol
ished and the revenue collected from
customs duties alone. The manufac
turers understand that if Judge Kel
ley's views should be adopted the tariff
would be given perhaps greater per
manency than by any other method
70 secure permanent protection ls es
teemed most desirable thing, h4
among the majority of business men
and particularly those from the rura
districts, there is strong prejudice
against the abolition of the tax OF
whisky.
Congressman Miller. of the Mercer
gistrict, was here yesterday. In con
versation upon the suhJeat he said !

speech and of the report of the Com
missioner of Internal Revenue to {

have discussed the subject with mum
hers Of our people, They don't like
the idea of taking the tax off whisky
but I imagine they would consent to
it if they understood the practical mer
it's of the proposition better and coulc
see that they would derive substantial
benefit from it, Whisky or brandy il
made from corn, rye, apples, peaches
potatoes, fruits and grains. The far
mer pays no tax upon the articles
which he grows entering into the man
u.acture of liquor, but be wants the
distiller to pay the tax. Now there
must be revision of the tariff soon
and we are not quite sure what sort o.
law will be passed Don't you thinl
that If the tariff men in the House
from the Northwest and the East were
to say to the Southern men, we will
vote for the reduction or abolition o
the tax on whisky and tobacco if you
will vote with us for the maintenance
of an effective schedule of customs du
ties, that the combination would be en-
tirely successful and beneficial to the
entire country p

EDITORS CITIZEN Having spare
moment take my pencil to scribble a
few items for your paper. And, first,
look through this part of the county
and see the Improvement going on.
Mr. John Burkhart is erecting a new
house. Mr.. Israel Seaman has finish
ed threshing his last years crop. Mr..
S. w. BARLEY is taking out railroad
ties. VIM. Caldwell is doing some
clearing and intends taking out ties al
So The teacher is home to see her
parents. That is right, siss. Railing
matches are in demand This is driv-
ing business successfully. But more
than this. we have the best ventilated
school house, | will venture to saw. in
the township. There is a ventilator
or two in every window This house
is know by the Kelley school house.
1t ought to he called the Walker school
house, as he, w. Walker, lives closest
TO it. We think the house underwent
some repairs lately, as our worthy di-
rector had carpenter doing some re-
pairs few days ago. 1t needs quite
an overhauling. There was some
Bald Ridge oil burnt on the George
Smith farm few days ago, by the
bursting of the oil pipe, which tue pipe
men set on fire to prevent it from
spreading over the ground. They
have repaired the break by new joint.
Mr.. S. Shaffner has put up new rail
road track at his coal soaffold So
much for improvement in our section
of the county. Very open winter
fine chance for Improvement.

An Appeal 10 the People.

The Address which is put for to-day
by the Committee of the Independent
Republicans of the State, beaded bv
Senator Stewart, Is a strong and incis-
i've paper While pointing out the
evils which imperil the future of the
party, and earnestly enforcing the duty
of all sincere Republicans, it is candid
in spirit, temperate in tone and digni-
fed in statement. These qualities
give it all the greater weight, and
make it, resting as it dose upon unde-
niable truths, an impressive and forci-
BILE appeal to the reason and patriot
ism of the people.
1t is the address of loyal and zeal
Gus Republicans, and its opening state
ment of the character and mission of
the party is an admirable presentations
OF its claim to the best efforts of every
member Republican success in Penn
sylvania is vital to Republican
supremacy in the Nation. Penn
sylvania naturally has an over
whelming Republican majority. 1t
ought to mount up to seventy-fve
thousand. No State in the Union has
such powerful material reason for
standing steadfastly in the Republican
column Yet it has, in some years,
been lost, and in others held only by
precarious majorities. The Address
well says that men are not easily
shaken in their party allegiance, and
the fact that forty thousand Republi-
cans in the last election voted for an
independent candidate, proves that
there is deep feeling of discomfort.
The abuses which produce this
widespread dissatisfaction are calmly
but clearly set forth. They are palpa-
BILE to every intelligent man through
out the Commonwealth. The conven-
tions which have reflected an arbitrary
personal rule instead of the popular
will the prostitution of the party Or
ganization to the hehests of individu-
ais the nomination of personal favor
ties rather than the popular choice in
short, boss rule, with its notorious
train of evils all this has aroused
popular resentment, and weakened and
imperiled the party. The Independent
Republicans seek 10 remove this COM
plant and danger by the simply rene
dy of making the party action reflect
the public will. They stand upon the
broad principle of Popular Rule and
Free Representation. They have no
other end TO serve than to promote
Republican success by securing free
and fair expression of the people iu
political action, ana thus commanding
their approval and support.
The Address urges that the dele
gates to the next Convention shall
come Enthusiastically from the people.
and it insists that the Convention shall
be held at a sufficiently late day to
permit free action on their part. 1t
: has been said that the Convention
would be called at an early date in
order to forestall this popular expires
| sion Such a proceeding Woa.d justly ex.
cite general Indignation, and the address
gives fair warning against it which
we trust will be needed The Com.
mittce during its session this week did
net conine itself to the preparation Of
this Address, but laid out the work O
organization. The people are right
and they only need to he organized tc
make themselves omnipotent.-Phila.

THE laws of Denm,

THE laws of Denmark contain one
which it would probably be as difficult
to find in the criminal code of other ma.
tions as in our own common law, or
any other statute amending The same.
1t provides punishment for that es-
pecially revolving form of cruelty
which consists in allowing fellow.
creature to perish without extending
to him a helping hand. A mere act-of'
omission in certain cases is indictable.
"Who ever has refused" says the DAN
ish law. Ito help another person In

done so without peril to his own life,
and that person has perished in con-
sequence, is liable to either imprison.

COMING TO A CLOSE.


The country is glad to know that
the trial of the late President Gar6eld's
assassin is nearing its end. The testi-
mony closed last week and the address
es Of counsel, to the Court on the law
points and the jury on the facts, are
being made this week. Look out for
the speech of Porter, one of the Gov
ernment attorneys, as it is expected he
will show the assassin up in his real
colors. The charge of Judge Cox to
the jury may be given the latter part
of this week, but more probably not
until next week, when we may also ex-
pect the verdict of the jury. We be-
lieve it will be guilty, and that with
out much DELAY.

ident was required for the good

was divinely inspired; but. such
conviction. even if it really existed,
could not afford any excuse when the
party knew what he was doing and
that it was contrary to law. No mere
delusion or error of judgment, not even
a fixed belief that what is prohibited
by the law is commanded or appointed
by divine authority, Guiteau. Gods
law is higher than mans law can
exempt the accused from responsibility
for breaking the law. To have such
effect the commission of the act charg-
ed must have been the result of an in-
sane delusion, which was the product
of disease, aud of such force as to de-
prive the accused of the degree of rea,
son necessary to distinguish between
right and wrong in respect of the act,
so that at the time of committing the
act be either did not know what ne
was doing, or, if he did, that the act
was wrong or contrary to the law o.
the land.
In response to question by Mr.
Reed, the Court stated that it was the
practice here to settle questions of law
before the argument: The counsel toI
the prosecution declared their willing
ness to afford the defense ample time t6
prepare their legal points, and Mr.
Porter commended the rule as to the
settlement of law propositions before
the argument as tending to abridgt
the arguments and possibly dispense
with them altogether The Uourt then

TARIFF REVISION.

We are not versed in the details Of
the present tariff law and therefore un-
able to give any opinion as 20 its need
of q revision. Any change however
that viii better promote American in
dustry and interest will be, or ought
to be- favored by all. We have al
ways been in favor Of what is known
as protective tariff" But never
in favor Of what was called "high pro-
tective tariff" by which was under
stood so high as to exclude all foreign
importation Of certain articles. For
doubtless tariff can be put on too
high, and, like the Chinese wall, have
the effect of excluding all importation.
But the question likely to come
soon before Congress, as we under
stand it, is, that the taxes now collect
ed by the Internal Revenue depart
ment Of the Government, on spirits,
tobacco, etc, should be taken of, or
lowered, in order to make way for an
increase of duties on foreign importa-
tion. We are unable to see the ne
cessity for that. While we have yet
an immense National debt it is diff
cult to understand why taxes, that all
think are now on articles that should
be taxed, and placed there, not only
for revenue, but for the best interest
of society, should be taken of. No
revision of the tariff, made in order to
better protect other industries from
foreign competition, would seem to
require, or have any just connection
with the home taxes now placed on
spirits and tobacco. There can GER
tainly be no danger of having too
much revenue while we have a Ma
tional debt to pay. We therefore have
thought unfavorably of what is said
to be Judge Kelley's project, who, as
chairman of the Ways and Means COM
mittee in Congress, proposes to re-
peal or lower the Internal Revenue
taxes IN order to raise those ON Gus
toms duties. 1t seems to us the
former should still exist even if there
be a necessity for the latter being
raised. These are our views, and we
think the views Of the people gener-
ally, from the limited examina-
tion we have been able to make on the
subject of tariff revision.
