ONE Of the remarkable TecOmme ell
datiOns made by Gov. Hill, Of New
York, in his last annual message, is
that the failure 81 n citizen to vote
should he made an Onense punish
able by law. To compel n man TO
vote against his will for either one or
the other opposing candidates would
be little better than Ia compel him
To vote for n particular candidate 1r
TO resist by force his attempt to vote
at all. This il altogether too demo-
cratic for the good Of the country.
Universal suffrage IL bad enough,
but Ia add on a con pulsnry feature
would Ice infinitely worse. Suppose,
some day, Gov. Hill should have
for an opponent for some high Office
n man A. obnoxious a. himself and
these tive were the only candidates
for a given place in the field, what
would the conscientious and well
disposed citizen do, under a cOmpul-
sorry voting law His situation
would lie like that of the darkey
who was told 10y mis- sable brother
from the pulpit "dar am two roads
trOO dis life. One am brod and
narrow road dat leads 10 distruck-
shun de Odder am narrow aud brOd
road dat leads To PerditiOn. We'll,
said the perpIexed brother in the
audience, "if dat am de case dis
niggah is gwine to take to de woods.
That would be about the
only alternative of citizen who
would be compelled to vote for Gov.
Hill or = man equally obnoxious.

The third accident on roads leading in to

town, Thursday morning, and If the old
saying regarding calamities always comm z

is now closed, though as this was little
one il may not count
The $40 (4:2o their timc) train on the
T.. a. W. X. X to Allegheny left town three
minutes late Thursday morning, and before
it had got under full headway, just at the
curve opposite Walters mill, unexpected
" came in collision with a long train Of
empty freight cars--a train that should
have been in sometime during the night,
bat which was delayed down the road by
some nishap.
Both engineers stuck To their engines,
reversed, and whistled down brakes, but
still the engines came together with enough
force to disable them, and the empty
freights were pitched around like chips and
some Of them very much smashed up for 50
apparently light a shock.
The only person at all hurt was Billy
Gearing, Of sprinedalc, who in jumping Z
from the baggage car, came in collision
with fence and skinned his lace.
The passenger cars were not injured, but,
Of course, the passengers had to return

Of the freight, and it il said that he should

the frogs and turtles up TO bis waist.
The wreeising train was promptly put To
work and the track was cleared in few
hours.

stopped with the front trucks in the bank
and the rear ones on the ties, and this fea-
ture Of the accident, though it caused the
death Of Mrs Farrell's child, probably
saved the liycs Of dozen othe.s.
For Mrs. Farrell this community must
have a great sympathy. She had hard
time in Butter. and at tie time of this ac-
cident was moving to Tarentum. She is
yet lying seriously injured At Tarentum,
and was unable to attend the funeral Of her
child in Butler.
The third car. the baggage and smoking
car, did not leave the track, and was used
Immediately after the accident for hos
pital
New timbers and rails were Immediately
placed by the company IN the bridge and
embankment, the second coach was lifted
upon the tracks and moved away next day,
and traffic was resumed as usual.
The first ear or what wa, left of it was
entirely destroyed by hre Saturday eve
ming. BY the company's orders, though not
before great many relics had been saved
from it by visitors. one boy found part Of
set Of false teeth.
What caused the accident-whether it
was broken rail, rotten ties. OF careless
ness Of any kind on the part of the com
pany, will be the subject OF judicial in
yestigation, unless the company secures
quit claims from all the sufferers; and there
fore we refrain from saying anything about
IT,
The company's surgeons visited all the
wounded as soon as possible after the ac-
cident, and the company's attorneys will
follow.
But 10 matter what caused the deralling
Of the train. the extraordinary features OF
the aecideut--the smashing Of the first car
into splinters and the piercing Of the bot
tom Of the second car by the rail-makes
one wonder why the frames Of all passen-
ger cars are not made Of iron and steel and
why the bottoms OF all cars are not of
metal covered with wood; cars so built
would surely be safer than those in use at
present, and would be little if any heavier.
This accident will probably cause the
company TO look a little closer after the
condition Of its branch roads. With the
engine used for the afternoon express at
present and the time made, the Butler
Branch should be put in as good condition
as any part OF the main hne-that IL, as
good as any railroad in the world.

The reason why we arc having

find that her ioot will have a much
smaller appearance than with ordi-

sold for in other houses Buying ia
large quantities direct from the n,an-
uiacturer, for cash. We don't buy from
the middleman and don't pay inter
est on borrowed money invested in

The great majority of people OF
Butler county are looking for boots

There are plenty OF soft sheep skin
