One of the first startling chapters OF
the incoming Congress will be the sew
enteen cases of contested seats. Sew
enteen Republicans demand the seven
teen seats that belong to Democrats.
There are three each IN virginia
West Virginia and Mississippi; two in
Alabama. and one each in the States OF
South Carolina, Maryland. Tennessee,
Florida. Arkansas and Indiana. 10
every instance the contestant is Re-
publican. and with but one exception
are all Southern men.
II the Radical majority succeeds IN
unseating the.Southern Democrats they
will obtain large majority. and as the
Republican party has generally In such
cases followed the command Of Thad
Stephens to stand by our own rascal, >
we may be treated to al other stroke of
partisan policy III the Houss that will
emulate the rascal" business Of the
brightest days of the G.. o. P history.
The worst of it is that the Speaker OF
the House is an autocrat, and may stock
the Elections Committee If he see fit 10
do 30.

The BEGINNING OF THE END. The
example of the venerable President
Elliott, of Harvard University in turn.
ing his back upon the Republican party
has not waited long for imitation. DE-
Clark Rdpath, one OF the most promi.
nent teachers in the De Paw Univer.
slty. of Iodiana. and man Of influ
ence aud authority IN the West. has left
the Republican party for the same rea
sons. He regards the result of the re-
cent elections as only sentence of
condemnation upon the ruling party, "
for whose leaders the control of public
affairs has no other interest than that
OF personal advantage. "-Philadelphia
Record.

SECRETARY WINDOW AND HIS SILVER.
The Herald says that what is likely that
the administration will propose to Con-
gress seems TO be this: That the Treas
ury shall receive silver bullion as de-
posit and issue against it silver bullion
note. based upon the market value ofthe
bullion on the day it 10 deposited. The
notes are to be redeemable on demand
in bullion at the market rate on the day
of redemption. The monthly purchase
of silver for coinage is to cease.
The net result of this, so far as we
can see on hasty examination. will be
to substitute a silver note worth gold
dollars worth of silver for the present
silver note. which represents good
deal less than gold dollar 8 worth OF
silver.
But it is not possible to intelligently
discuss Mr. WINDOWS proposition until
he has laid it before Congress and the
public.

ScRIMBLrYa FOR THE CHAIR. The
contest for the Speakership OF thu
House of Representatives seems at this
time to involve Thomas b. Reed, OF
Maine. and William Mckinley, Jr.. OF
Ohio. with a chance, although probably
not promising one. for julius G. Bur
rows. of Michigan. Mr. Reed and Mr.
Mckinley are both we'll qualified for
the duties OF the Office. experienced 10
Legislation and familiar with parlia-
mentary rules and law. Both are men
of upright character and strict personal
integrity. Mr.. Reed would be the pre-
ferable candidate. because ne is man
of broader political views than Dir. NC
Kinley. and would bring more expe-
rience and judicial calmness to the posi-
ton.
There is a foolish rumor to the effect
that Secretary Blame is jealous of Mr..
Reed, and will oppose his preferment:
that he fears the Speakership may be
steppiug-stone for rival from his own
State in his Presidential ASPIRATIONS

Row Over an Oil w ell.

who tried to take possession of an oil we'll
J. r. Johnston, ex-Superintendent of the
Pittsburg & Western, has been drilling a
we'll in that vicinity, and when the bit
struck the sand he shut down and COM
menced leasing territory in the neighbor-
hood He boarded up the well, but left
no one to guard it, and Sunday night a
gang of drillers, who were supposed to be
in the employ Of the Standard, took pos
sion of the derrick and proceeded to drill
through the sand,
Mr. Johnson heard of the affair, and, Sc
curing an athletic assistant from Allie
gheny he went to the well at a late hour
on Sunday night and surprised the men at
work
\ desperate fight ensued, and one of
the trespassers was almost beaten to death
with club in the hands of Mr.. Johnson S
ally, and another of the gang was shot,
and so badly injured that he had to be car
ried off the field Mr.. Johnson and his
force were victorious and, strange to say,
escaped with only few bruises.
The attempt OF the marauders was con-
sidered the boldest piece of business
which has occurred for several years, and
the pluck and bravery of Mr.. Johnson in
attacking the gang, which numbered at
least a dozen, won for him the admiration
of the producers The names OF the in

Get Ready for the Fair.

From the splendid crops Of the year and
from the interest already taken by persons
asking for space, the managers of the But
Ter Fair Association predict the grandest
exhibition of agricultural products ever
seen in Butler county, on their grounds for
September 10, II, 10 and l3, the dates of
the next Fair
To meet the expectations of all and be
ready for the vast crowds that will be
present, they have purchased the three
acres of ground, lying between their former
fence and the Pearce road, and have ex-
tended their fence to the road. This allows
of ingress and egress by the gate ON that
road and will be great accommodation to
the public. They also have force of men
at work, enlarging and improving the
grand stand and other buildings, and add
ing to the number of stalls.
The Secretary will not open his entry
books for a week or two yet, but keep the
dates of the fair in mind, and preserve
your choicest produce, fowls and animals
for exhibition at the Twelfth Annual Fair
of the Butler Co Agricultural Association.
