Butler citizen. [volume] (Butler, Pa.) 1877-1922, 1883-10-24

In American history there are no more in
teresting figures than the heroes and heroines
of the Border. Bold, dashing, adventurous and
patriotic; loyal to friends, to country and to
the interests of osciety, their work was singu-
larry effective in the advancement of American
civilization. With seeming recklessness, their
efforts were in the interest of law and order
and the people owe them debt of gratitude
they do not forget. Their page in history is as
as fascinating as it is honorable, and there is
peculiar pleasure in reading the narrative of
their wonderful exploits.
The times which produced those heroes and
heroines mark period in American history of
absorbing interest alike to old and young 1t
is proper that it should be so. These hardy
pioneers coupled virtue with courage, humani-
ty and love of country with the stern dutied of
frontier life and battle and the example of their
lives not only interests but strengthens our
faith and admiration in human courage and
unselfsh purpose.
In American pioneer history there are three
distinct eras marked as distinctly by three
geographical divisions; from the Allegheny
Mountains 70 the Mississippi, marking the
first; from the Mississippi to the Rocky Noun
tains the second; California and the Pacific
Slope the third. The settlement of these vast
regions developed great leaders, whose achieve.
ments have made them justly and widely
| famous They have warm place in the
hearts of the people, and prominent one in
their admiration. 1t is appropriate that their
achievements should be recorded, and we note
| with pleasure the forthcoming of new book,
now ready, from the press of N. D. Thompson
& Co., Publishers, New York and st. Louis,
Mo-, called: "Conquering the Wilderness, or
New Pictorial History of the Life and Times of
theiPioneers Heroes and Heroines Of America
1t is written by Col. Frank Triplett, an ac.
| conplIshed writer, whose literary qualifca.
tons and great experience on the frontiers are
said 10 eminently fit him for so noble task
A special feature is its apt and profuse illus
trations, embracing 220 superb engravings,
illustrating incidents and persons-the latter
embracing nearly 100 life-like portraits, of
pioneer leaders, never before given-men and
women-which make it sort or picture gal
lery, well book of thrilling narrative,
that will lend to the book a charm and interest
not to be resisted.
1t is sold by subscription, through canvassing
| agents, and presents an orpportunity to agents
| to make money especially inviting We ad-
vertise it in another column.

eleven deaths recently reported In that
city, during a single week, oonsump.

to these shores and duly reported to their
official heads by whom it has been appreci-
ated and not forgotten, and the action of the
captain in placing the Russian frigate Nay
esdnik at the dispoal of His Hawaiian Maj
esty, when on his visit to Kohala, has been
cordially approved by his Government.
Not the least interesting and important
feature in this mission is the friendly rela-
ton and intercourse that has been estab-
lished between our envoy and those from
other countries. The most noticeable of
these was the Japanese Ambassador who is
spoken of at all times as showing a very
marked friendly and confidential relation
ship to wards Colonel Iaukea; this tends to
support the statements that we rave made
from time to time that Japan is always
anxious and eager to enter into close and
friendly relations with Hawaii. We may
congratulate His Majesty upon the diplO-
matte success of his ENJOY and upon the in
terest N attention that has been awaken
ed in Europe in respect to the Hawaiian
Kingdom.

International Coinage

1t will be interesting to the business COM
munity to be informed that a Coinage Con-
vention between the United States and the
Hawaiian Kingdom having been presented
has received very favorable consideration.
1t is said that there is a good precedent in
the Latin Monetary Union of France, Bel
GUM, Italy IL Switzerland. There is no
doubt that the coinage convention initiated
by Hawaii would lead to an international
exchange between the United States, Mex
leo and all other American States, and it is
said that such initiation is highly credita-
BILE to Hawaiian diplomacy.
However it is stated that the real or
eighth part of a dollar will nave to be with
drawn as being a violation of the decimal
system, and, in view of the Importance of
such an international exchange, there can
be no difficulty in acceding to this with
drawal Notwithstanding the interest felt by
the native people in the use Of this familiar
coin. They are now sufficiently accustomed
to the dim and the half dime and should
ere long be equally familiar with coins of a
smaller denomination. 1t is understood
that the new Hawaiian silver coinage will
be received in instalments suited to the re-
quirements of the Government in carrying
out such measures as may be decided upon
under the Loan Act.

The Planter Monthly.

This valuabl periodical keeps up the
standard of early numbers very success
fully. We have before us from time to time
many weekly and monthly publications de-
voted to the sugar-producing industry and
must claim for our local magazine a place
among the best Of them, notwithstanding
the fact that its pages are occasionally dis
figured with political and quasi political
articles which are ill-suited to them. The
August number contains an article headed
"The libel suits'' which is entirely out of
place where we find it-a sort of padding
which only the personal interest of the edi-
tor in the suits in question could have in
duced him to adopt. The articles having
special local interest are those headed SIS
R~atooning Profitable?" THE Cane Borer,n
'The Fertilization of Sugar Cane by Arti-
fetal and other Manures," "Varieties of
Cane" "Division of Sugars and "Sugar
per Clarifier in Hamakua, Hawaii" Be
sides these, which all interested in sugar
producing on these Islands ought TO read
for themselves, the present number con-
tains a lengthy and learned paper on the
"bOiling of syrup in vacuum to produce
yellow crystal" We do not know to what
extent this treatise may prove of practical
value to the sugar producers or these Is
lands. Yellow and white crystals are favor
lite sugars with the consumer in many mar
kets but hitherto Hawaiian planters have
not found much inducement to trouble
themselves about their manufacture. One
point is brought out very clearly in this
paper viz: How much of the successful
manufacture of sugar from the cane de-
ponds OF the personal skill and constant
care of the man who is in charge of the
boiling process. This is more or less known
to everyone who has had anything to do
with sugar producing, but its Importance is
not always as fully recognized as is desira-
BILE.
Another article in the number under re-
view demands a passing word. Rev. DR..
Damon contributes a few words about Chi
nese laborers. He argues that in the en-
deavor to enlighten and christianize the
Chinese %coolie, duty will be found to be CO.
incident with s~elf-interest and urges that
every plantation should have 9 school mas
ter to instruct the laborass EaiEnplish
language. "Thisv says the reverend
gentleman cannot be carried out by the
Government or by our missionary society,
but it might be by the proprietOrs of plan
tations employing a school teacher or lay
missionary."And addressing the planters he
adds "self-interest gentlemen, should in
cline you to promote this enterprise; give
and it shall be given to you.'" He en-
forces his doctrine and illustrates his argu-
ment by an account of what has been done
in this direction on the Kohala plantation,
and of the success that has been achieved
there. The doctor is on the right track,
but we doubt whether much will be lone of
what he ants to see by the individual eff
forts of planters, and doubt very much the
propriety of putting all the burden on to
their shoulders.
