Sunday School Picnic
ALLEGHENY TWP, BUTLER Co,
lime 2Sth 1884

ALLEGHENY TWP, BUTLER Co,
June 2Sth, 1884.
EDS. CITIZEN : We wish to an
nouuce that we had the pleasure of
being at the Remington Union Sunday
School Picnic, June 25th, 1884. This
grand picnic, was conducted by Mr..
William Turner, who is Superintend-
ent of the school. Mr. Turner had the
dinner committee so well arranged,
that when the time for dinner came, the
table was filled with abundance of the
good things of life, which was passed
around in good order, so that every
person present partook of the feast and
was we'll satisfied, This feast was
grand one; one that we don't often see
at picnic. Prof James V. Ogden
and family's String Band played and
sung some very fine pieces of music
which they are always fully prepared
to do. Short address by tie writer,
followed by Prof Ogden. Mr.. Turner
deserves great praise as Superintend-
ent of the school The teachers and
parents are active workers The good
order and obedience of the scholars
show that the Remington Union S. S.
has been properly conducted; it is
model in every respect. May God
who is over all, direct the officers,
teachers and parents of this school,
that they may instruct the youth, that
they may be qualified to take the place
of the aged, who are daily passing from
time to eternity. We returnd our sim
cere thanks to the members of the
Kenzington,Sabbath School for their
kindness to US at the pic 'ic.
Yours very truly,
JOHN THOMAS.

manner, The tables were laden with
choice cakes of various kinds, delicious
pies, pound cakes and various other
eatables. This procedure lasted one
hour and thirty minutes. then all with
drew leaving the provisions master OF

The men ate as though they enjoyed
this feast of good things for which
their appetites sharpened by the ardu-
Gus labor of the afternoon had prepared
them. Supper being over the Miss
Logans treated the party to some ex-
cellent music on the organ, assisted by
Mr.. John Slupe On the violin, carrying

Hon. A. w. TAYLOR, Of Indiana
county, this State, is announced in the
Republican papers of that county as an
Independent candidate for Judge of the
same. Indiana county is separate
Judicial district. The Republicans at
their late primaries nominated Gen.
Harry White for that Office. But ow-
ing, we believe, to Gen. Whites active
and strong part in politics for many
years past, bis nomination is not re-
ceived with general favor by the people
of that county, and hence the bringing
out of an independent candidate. In
favor of Mr.. Taylor it is claimed that
he is and will be free from all party
bias or control in the discharge of the
duties of the Office His age, being one
OF the oldest members of the Bar, and
his experience as lawyer. are also
urged in his favor for election in No

STOPPING THE DRILL.
Hon. Thos. w. Phillips Open
Letter.

From Pittsburgh Dispatch ofssJune 2S.l
NEW CASTLE, June 27, 1884.
David Kirk Chairman of Producers Association,
Bradford, Pa.
DEAR SIR-Had | not been absent
on business / should have responded
sooner to your letter appointing me on
a committee for organizing movement
to stop drilling for six months. Such
an organization, headed by representa-
tive men, n any of whom have been
long and favorably known to the oil
industry, making SO startling request,
demands careful consideration-more,
| fear, than has been given by some
whose names are appended to the list
you sent me.
| will briefly state some reasons for
not joining a movement SO wide
in its rangea nd far-reaching
in its effects. | believe the
movement has done injury to
the oil trade 1t has given the impress
sion that there are such vast quantities
of oil under our hills that not only con-
certed action but also violent measures
are required to stop the production, in
a time, too, when the field as whole
is more limited than it has been for
years; when the production has de-
creased in the last two years more than
$4,000 barrels per day, and does not at
present exceed the consumption. |
state fact when | say that barrel
of oil is intrinsically worth more to-
day than it has been at any time for
three years. Why, then, it's present
low price 1t is simply due to the alb
normal conditionin which the oil busi-
ness has been placed for years.
QUERY.
/ notice that your headquarters are
at Bradford. Why did you not stop
drilling there when you were producing
5000 barrels per day and large per
cent. was running to waste We Of
Butler, Clarion, Bullion and other fields
would have been glad if you had
halted instead ot recklessly destroying
the value of our property by your over
production, and waste. Now when
you have circumscribed your fields and
are rapidly exhausting their deposits,
you ask all the others to stand idly by
while you enjoy the profits from the
land which will no longer pay to drill,

Office Holder May Yet
be Retained.
The Long-Haa1ed Don Working For His
Reflection to the United s ates
Senate From Pennsylvania.
The Senate to Stand Between the Dem
ocra,ic President and the
Fat Offices.

PITTSBURGH, Pa, November H.
United States Senator Cameron has been
in this city the past few days in confer
ence with Federal onice-holders and politi-
cal leaders. He held levee at the
Monongahela House, the primary pur-
pose OF which was TO become personally
acquainted with the newly-elected mem
bers OF the next Legislature. Mr.
Cameron is positive Of his sue
ceeding himself as United States Senator,
and his conference with prominent Repub-
lcanS from this part Of the State was
satisfactory. His secondary reason was
TO explain to those vitality interested his
plan whereby the majority OF the Federal
Offices would be retained by the Repub-
leans. The Senate will be Republican,
and as there are 4 great many officers
whose terms expire during the next session
OF Congress, they or their successors will
be Immediately appointed by President
Arthur and confirmed by the Senate, and
as their official terms will extend over
four years these politicians will remain
heritages. They can not be removed
liolH bilht ulllSoo lDl NlA4o', anu N'ii'NN'
on the part Of any one of them unbecom-
Ing his position would be the only act that
would remove him. Mr.. Cleveland may
find it very difficult to get the Senate
| 10 confirm his appointments OF
| Democrats. Such q refusal on
the part of that body would have
the effect Of continuing in office all Repub-
lican Federal officers whose terms might
expire during the next administration, as
the ofllce-holder is allowed by law TO re-
main in his position until either re-
appointed or succeeded, no matter if his
commission be expired, and any refusal
on the part of the Senate TO confirm
Democratic successors would virtually
continue in Office all Republicans. An
other thing may be resorted to as an
alternative or rather as compro
mise. There are u number OF
Southern States pronounccdly Demo
cratic, with little chance of ever becoming
Republicanized The Democratic Sena
tors from such States may effect a com
promise with Republican Senators to agree
Mappointments, either Democratic o.
/ Mublican, according to the territory il
Wich the appointment may be. Mr.
Weycland could help good feeling by ap
pointing officials in that way, otherwis
hs.Njll experience trouble with the Re
Ss1@can Senate. These facts have leake
oItSince Mr.. Cameron came here.

THE HOOKING VALLEY STRIKERS.
New York Labor Unions Take Action for
Their Relief.

NEW YORK, November l7.-At meet
ing Of the Central Labor Union yesterday
afternoon communication was received
from Samuel Il. Davis, the secretary Of
the Miners Relief Committee OF the
Hooking Valley strikers, counter
signed by Mr.. c. Evans, President
of the Ohio Miners Amalgamated
Association, dated at New Straitsville,
o., in answer to an inquiry how aid was
distributed 10 the miners Mr., Davis
writes that on Wednesday number of
the five subcommittee met with gen.
cral committee at New Straitsyille and
distributed seventy-hve cents worth of
clothing, food, etc, to each family. The
number of persons 10 be so aided is 5000
No money Is distributed TO anybody, All
money received by the committee is used
to purchase provisions and clothing. The
men are not strikers, but have been
locked out because they refused to accept
reduction Of twenty cents per ton,
which Is equal to sixty cents day. The
present rates are seventy cents ton.
The average output day is three
tons, which, by the reduction, is
reduced to $l.5O, out of which must
come powder, oiling, smthing
and tools. The actual working time is
only half time, which reduces earnings to
seyenty-6ve cents day. The miners
claim that they should only work half
time at such trade, as 1t kills them off
fast. They have been locked out six
months, and are willing to stay out siN-
teen months more rather than sign the
iron-clad oath demanded of them, The
coal corporation can afford to pay the reg
ular prices, rs the other COM
panies are doing so. The cor
poration has publicly declared that
IL believes The Knights of Labor are at
the bottom of the trouble and that they
must destroy that organization. Upon
this communication the Central Labor
Union instructed the Secretary to ask the
various papers TO open subscription lists
in aid Of the Hooking Valley miners.
They headed the list with $50 subScrip-
tion, and asked all organized and unor-
ganzed shops 70 send their contributions
through the newspapers. The Cigar
Makers Progressive Union No. | an
nounccd that they have printed lists to
be sent " all the unions.
