Rain Fall.

Rain Fall.
The continuous rain of last Wednesday
night AMI Thursday morning, was OF
great benefit 70 the crops and various ag
ricultnral products. The amount of rain
fall was considerable, and it seemed as
though nature intended To give us rather
moro water than we had asked for.
The measurements taken by few OF
our citizens. Of the amount of rain fall IN
given time, are as follows: Stephen B.
Smith, AT inches; DR.. Geo. IL. Larson,
AZ inches; George NJ. Holconibc, 4 4 inches;
Chas. o. Holcombe, Al inches.
The measurment in the rain guage was
noted by Mr.. Stephen b. Smith, ut 10 A.
nj on Thursday. The greater part of the
rain fall, was during Wednesday night
last. 1t is of interest TO our community
to have scientific observations made in our
city, as they have an important bearing,
and furnish us with reliable data concern
ing our local meteorological conditions.
Mr.. Smith has been engaged in making
scientific Investigations OF interest, several
years, for government use. and has attain
ed a reputation with the U. S. Signal Ser
vice and Weather Department.

The hill over at New Hope, which
stands out in bold relief, overlooking the
Delaware and the Falls, little farther
down the river, presents from its top n
panoramic view of the river The city of
Lambertsille, and the beautiful scenery
for miles around that is unsurpassed by
any other spot in that section. On the
brow of the hill, is located spot of great
historic interest, 1t is the site Of the old
earthworks or fort occupied by the Amer
lean Soldiers at one time during the
Revolutionary war, when the British
were scouting about this part of New
Jersey, previous to the Battle of Trenton.
1t is well worth visit, to view the fine
Scenery from the hill side. and brow of the
same. Strange to say, it has never yet
had any public celebration to honor its
value as relic of the war of the Revolu-
ton. As other places have through out the
country been the recipient of public notice
it would be a just tribute, to give it al
least one little centennial ere it passes
away, crumbled by the hand of time.

The Primary of April 5.

The Republicans of Butler county
should bear in mind the first primary
that comes off on April 5, less than
three weeks from this date 1t is for
the election of delegates to the National
and State Conventions, under the new
rules that have been obtained for the
voters after long struggle with the
boss and machine powers. The Re.
publican voters now have the oppor.
tunity to express their choice for their
future Presidents, and they can so in
struct the delegates they vote for on
the 5th of April. The State ones g.
are as important as the National one,
as the State Convention can and should
voice the wishes of the entire State in
the selection of the delegates-at-largt
it has to select to the National Con
yention-

THIS CONGRESSIONAL DIS
TRICT.
VIII Be Ready.

Butler county's first primary election
comes off on Saturday, April ..
Mercer county's on Monday, April
1th.
Crawford county's on Tuesday,
April Sth.
Thus it will be seen the primaries OF
the three counties of this Congressional
district will soon follow one another in
quick succession. Each county will
either elect or appoint delegates or
conlerees for joint meeting, probably
at Greenville and on April 10 or H.
The object is the selection of the two
delegates to which this district is enti-
tied in the coming Chicago Republican
National Conyention for the nomina-
ton of the next Presidential ticket.
This matter has moved along so
smoothly and so well that we cannot
believe there will be any failure in the
matter. From the time the alarm was
first sounded of an attempt to steal
away from the Republican voters OF
this county and State their right to
send their delegates to National and
State Conventions by popular vote, the
people become thoroughly aroused and
took deep interest in the matter Let
this interest continue in this county un-
til the primary on April 5. Let there
be as good a turnout on that day in each
to wnship and borough of the county as
possible. The members of the present
County Committee were, by the order
of that body, constituted the Return
Judges to bring in and count up the
votes at County Convention to be held
on the following Monday, April I. BY
this they act as Convention for that
purpose, and we have no doubt the men,
ber of the Committee from each district
will be present at the polls on the 9th
and at the convention on the 7th and see
to it that all is done rightly and well.

Information Wanted.

EDS. CITIZEN Il notice that no ex-
planation has been made as yet regard
ing a double credit given the County
Treasurer in the report of the County
Auditors and Commissioners of last
years receipts and expenditures of the
county. The item is in that part of
the report headed, Treasurer j. H.
Miller credit by expenditures for Butler
county for 1885," where it will be seen
that "Constables' Returns, $685."
appears twice and is twice credited to
the Treasurer. I have carefully footed
up the whole amount at the bottom of
the said expenditures as published, $685.
937.37, and find that it takes the items
of "Constables' Returns both to be
counted in before you can have that
aggregate of $50, 937.37, to balance. 1t
is therefore clearly double credit and
should be explained to the people. |
would wait longer for an explanation
had l not learned that in the Eagle pa
per one of the Constables' Returns
item had been taken out of that paper
without any explanation why it was
thus taken out 1t appeared in it at
first the same as published in your pa
per, the CITIZEN, where it still stood.
This changing the matter in the Eagle
from the manner originally published
causes many to suspect that something
wrong to the county is intended in the
end. If mistake on the part of the
Auditors and Commissioners should it
not be publicly corrected And if not
corrected now when would it be? If
public records that so much concern the
tax payers of the county are to be thus
| treated, what is our remedy
Yours etc, L.
BUTLER, March 13, 1884.
Were we to give the most proper
answer, for remedy for such mistakes,
as pointed out above, we would say to
the Republicans of the county, to nom-
mate and elect higher grade of Coun-
| ty Auditors. For clearly the main
fault in the above case rests upon the
auditing board of the county's receipts
and expenditures. Too little attention
generally has been paid to the selection
of the County Auditors. And at no
time has it been more important than
it is this year that good and competent
persons be nominated for County Aud
itors for within the coming three
years all the expenditures in rebuilding
the new Court House will come under
their supervision.
In regard to the item of double credit
referred to above, we are informed that
it was brought to the attention of the
Commissioners some weeks ago. 1t
is said to be but one of other mistakes
in the late report 1t is certainly no
correction of such matter for the edi-
tors of paper to quietly set out the
types that showed the error. This is
not dealing with the public as should
be by county officials. And all we
have to say in regard to other matters,
as to which there are rumors at present,
that if such facts are brought to ouI
notice, as the one above, we will not
suppress them but give the public all
the light we can. In the meantime
we again direct the attention of the
people to the Importance of making
good and competent nominations this

were two sets of Blaine delegates in

Adams and Fulton county Repub-
lican conventions elected Blaine dele

ties are in open revolt against the
tricks by which they are to be cheated
out of the right to choose their own
delegates to the National Convention.

other aspirants for political favors,
Thus in the Journal eleven, Republicans
announce for delegates to District Con-
yention Give to be elected), and of this
number four add "For James G..
Blaine for President Six are announced
for State Delegates.
Aside from Mr.. Blaines undoubted
popularity there is deep down in the
peoples heart feeling that the Man Of
Maine has been wronged by scheming
politicians who are to him, morally and
intellectually, as Lilliputians to Gulli-
yer. and hence is there coupled with
the wide desire for his nomination q
firm determination to right wrong.
The people have a conscience if the
politicians havn't,and sooner or later that
conscience will come out on top.
While the district convention is
preferable it does not follow that the
choice of delegates must be left to the
State convention if the difficulties at
tending a district convention are un.
surmountable. Conferees may be
named by the different counties. Con-
ferrees are delegates and, when chosen
for the particular purpose of electing
national delegates, and there is no rea.
son why they should not perform their
duties to the entire satisfaction of the
voters. Where there are so many diff
ferent ways of giving the people an
opportunity to send their own delegates
to Chicago it cannot be that all must
fail. One plan or another can surely
be agreed upon, if the benefits of popu.
lar representations and the risks of the
Intervention of Harrisburg influences
are ontrasted-Philadelphia Press.
