New Volume.

The CITIZEN has started upon new
volume, having now entered on its 2lst
year, as will be seen by reference to it's
numbers. We have recently added a
number Of new names to it's list Of
readers, and as this is the time in the
year that people generally provide for
their winter reading, as well as their
other winter comforts, we solicit their
patronage, and would also ask all it's
old readers to take an interest in en-
larging it's circulation.
The days we are living in are full Of
interest, and every appearance indicates
that the C, ming year, 1884, will be one
Of important events. Especially will
this be true in the political affairs Of
the United States. The most hotly
contested Presidential election ever had
is likely to take place. Every voter
should be well posted, and in this view
we intend to give to the people Of this
county full news Of all happening
through the CITIZEN. This we will
do without fear or favor. We there
fore ask the aid Of all our friends to-
wards extending its circulation and,
we hope, Of enlarging its influence for
the good and the right.

November q, 1888.

November Il, 1888.
MEssRs EDS BY request of the
bereft widow, we wish to give a brief
detail of the death and funeral of Mr..
A. B. Grant, well-known citizen of
Allegheny township, Butler county,
who died Sabbath night at IL p. NJ,
Nov. 18th, 1888.
The funeral services were conducted
by Rev. j. G. McElree and Rev. j. r..
Coulter. Service was held at the resi-
dence of the deceased, where many of
the friends and neighbors gathered to
hear the last farewell address. The
funeral was largely attended by warm
hearted, sympathizing friends from all
parts of the community.
The last days of deceased's life are
best described by his bereft widow,
who says, while he was conscious, yet
suffering intensely, he seemed almost
constantly in a state of prayer; he
gave satisfactory evidence that he
was prepared to meet his God.
He was unconscious two days be-
fore he died, and could not leave the
wished for words of cheer at the last
moment of time, yet he left what to US
is far more desirable; a consistent
christian life.
He was a faithful husband, loving
father, true friend, and respectable
member of the United Presbyterian
church. The church feels that it has
lost worthy christian man but most
of all the family feels his loss. Home
without a husband; home without a
father "Oh, how lonely; may God
dwell in his lonely home, and be to
to the sorrowing mother and children,
all that he has promised" a very
present help in time of trouble,
and may he lead them through all life's
pilgrimage up to the friend that has
gone before may God bless and COM
fort the mourners in the lonely home.
Yours very truly,
Butler citizen. [volume] (Butler, Pa.) 1877-1922, 1883-11-28
Who for Spea ker =?

Congress assemblies on Monday next
and q very exciting question among the
Democrats, who have a majority in the
coming body, is the Speakership A
fierce contest is going on at Washing
ton among them on this question. The
two prominent candidates are Randall,
of this State, and Carlilse, of Kentucky.
One being from the north and the other
from the south has shaped the question
into sectional one, in which the tariff
question forms an important part. The
northern Democrats fear the election Of
Carlilse will damage their prospects in
the Presidential campaign Of next year,
while the southern Democrats, being
the larger in number, demand the
selection Of one from the south az
Speaker, and oppose Randall as not
sound on their view Of the tariff AS
the fight stands between them it is a
very interesting one to the Republicans.

Our Offer.

We have had several responses to
the offer we have sent to all our sub
5cribers in arrears on their subscription
accounts, copy for year Of the
american Farmer, provided they
paid up said arrears. This offer they
should all accept, as the profit will be
all to them and the loss or expense to
us. We therefore hope to hear from
many more of this class of our readers
soon, aud especially before the first Of
the coming new year. We have a
copy of the November number Of the
american Farmer on hand at the
CITIZEN Office which can be seen by
any one wishing to see the work. 1t
is all that we stated, a lG page journal
and full of the best reading matter for
the farmer. Those paying in advance
we are also putting on the list being
made up for the Farmer.

Mrs. Foster.

TIE field Of craftsmanship in this
country can no longer be claimed for
the men only One woman at least
has arisen who has mastered the intrl-
cacies of Government and its just
powers. Much was expected from
Mrs. Foster, Iowa's great advocate of
of the reformed Constitution of that
State. But she surpassed the expecta-
tions of all who heard her in the crowd
ed Court House room, last Friday even
ing. For two hours she stood before
a deeply interested audience and deliv-
cred such a speech as is seldom heard.
1t was grand in its strength, graceful
in its delivery and touchingly eloquent
in it's truth. Besides, it was some
thing new, a woman appealing to men
to reform their State Constitution, and
showing the right and necessity for do
ing so. Constitutional. Prohibition,
under the arguments of Mrs. Foster,
received new interest and new llie'
which will grow and increase, all over
the land, as the only remedy for the
greatest monster evil yet remaining.
We will not attempt to follow her
throughout all her arguments, suffice to
say, she had the sympathy and hearts
of all with her. To parents, to the
law makers and the law executors, her
appeal to save the weak, to rescue
their fellow beings, and to raise up a
better society, went home to the con-
science of all One noticeable feature
of her lecture was its attention to and
its effect upon the young men and the
little boys among her hearers. Their
interest in the woman who spoke 80
much, and 80 well, for their future good
in life, was evident. They seemed to
appreciate her interest in the fact that
they were the rising generation, that
must soon rule, and their attention
was close during her grand appeal for
them. If there is but one Mrs. Foster,
and she alone travels over these Unit
ed States, pleading for the reform she
does in the liquor traffic and drink,
there will soon be revolution in the
country upon that question.
THE petitions for the pardon of
Esquire John Smith, we understand,
have been signed by more than three
thousand names

Witherspoon Institute.

The exercises in the Court House
on last Thursday evening, for the ben
eft Of the Witherspoon, were largely
attended and many of the performances
were new and entertaining in their
character. Space will not permit to
particuIarize as to their different merits,
but as many Of them were new they
were highly appreciated by the large
audience present. The Witherspoon is
growing in usefulness and the import
ance Of sustaining it is duly appreciated
by all our citizens.
by the notice in anothe. place it will
be seen that other exercises will be
given for its benefit on to morrow,

CONGRESS is about to meet and the
Pennsylvania Legislature is still in
session. For mercy's sake what will
be done ?n How can the country stand
both these bodies at the same time!
The fact that the Legislature of this
State has now been in session for near
a year is not only one Of the most ex-
traordinary but one Of the most dis
graceful things ever happening in this
or any other State The squabble the
members have got into about their pay
is richly enjoyed by the people, who
have lost all patience with them, and
who, if the question was left to them,
would say they should not receive
cent. Any member, of either Senate
or House, who demands or takes daily
pay Of $40 for days he was not actually
present, at Harrisburg, trying at
least to procure the Legislation needed,
will be condemned by the people for
all future time. Should apportionment
bills yet be passed the people might
forgive and forget; but to spend six
months, at large cost to the State,
and then turn over to succeeding
Legislature to do the work they should
have done, at more and future cost to
the State, is more than the tax payers
seem inclined to tolerate. If the farce
goes on the balance Of the Senate had
better follow the example Of the two AL
legheny members and resign.

THE new telegraph poles erected
last week, along the West side of Main
street, are so high and thickly set as to
give the street new and rather siDgu-
lar appearance. This new line is from
the city of Buffalo to Pittsburgh and
is tie third one having wires through
our place, a fact that would indicate
that Butler is a good point to be passed
through in the transmission of tele-
graph news, even if we do not furnish
much of it ourselves. The fact of 80
much competition in the telegraphing
business is encouraging to the public,
that lower rates will soon be had in
that matter. This last company is
making very permanent erections and
is reported to be backed by very heavy
capitalists.

EFFORTS TO DELAY.

Mr.. Sutton moved to reconsde- the
vote by which bill passed third read
ing, as he desired to offer an amend
ment giving Senators the pay only for
the days they had devoted to the SER
vice of the State from June 18th. This
was voted down, and then Mr.. Davies
moved to postpone the bill until Tues
day morning at | o'clock, as it was
patent there was not enough votes to
pass it now. This was opposed 50
vigorously by Senator'S Herr and
Longcnecker that Mr.. Davies withdrew
it.
Mr.. Gordon desired to say a few
words before the vote on final passage
was taken. He should vote against
the BILL because he regarded it as in
ordinatcly extravagant. Bad as it was
when it came from the House, the Sen
ate had made it worse. 1t had dived
down into the treasury just as far as it
could go. There were legal objections,
he said, which he would not now give.
This seemed to be gentle hint that
the Governor would veto the bill.

Keep OF the Cars.

The LEDGER has always said that
the small boy who loafs around the
depot would suddenly become wise,
if he did not have to be boxed up.
Monday, Guy Gordon, a bright little
fellow who has been working in the
telegraph office, was jumping off a
moving freight train when he fell and
caught his left foot. The toes were
crushed, and he may be thankful that
he did not lose his leg, or even worse.
Guy will recover, and there is nc
danger of his losing his toes on the
other foot in the.same way, and we
think other boys should take warning
from this accident, and do not foo
around the cars. You never know
when they are loaded.

street had a valuable finger ring sto-

pect the theft was committed by one
of three colored women employed In
the neighborhood. The services Of
City Marshal Murray were called in
and he made it so warm for the thief
that late Yesterday afternoon the miss,

the front portico, where it had been
thrown, evidently to stop pursuit by
the officer, who was hot on the trail.

properties of tea, wild cherry, honey,

Mr.. Llewellyn, and get a bottle; he will
present you with one dollar and sixty five
cents worth of choice music, arranged
for piano or cabinet organ. The medicine
was first introduced on the Pacific Coast,
and is now sold everywhere. Be sure
you get only German Elixir, as there are
other medicines with the word German
attached to them. The genuine bears the

Fox's illustrated Weeks Doings is

tOX'S Illustrated weeks LONGS Is
the newest novelty in metropolitan
journalism. 1t is the only illustrated
Sunday paper in the country and, as
far as We know, the first. If it is,
there never was a more creditable
pioneer in journalism published. The
illustrations are graphic in character,
appropriate in selection and superb
in execution, and the literary con-
tents of a high order of merit. The
Referee discourses on sporting mat
tiers with authority. The dramatic
world is reviewed with snap and Wig
or by an ''Insider," who evidently
hes a right to the name. And the
Prowler recites the current sensations
and scandals like a true man about
town. This paper has a career be-
fore it if Mr.. Fox's efficient manage
ment does not relax.
