Saw Livsey at the Fair.

State Insurance Commissioner Luper,
relates the following incident:
"0n September 8, the next day after
Pennsylvania Day at the Fair, l had an
appointment to meet friends at the Penn
sylvania building. / sat with friend OF
mine upon pile Of timber waiting, when
my attention and my friends was attracted
TO a man who stood few yards away look
ing intently at the Liberty Bell.
"Isn't that Bill LiyseyT asked my
friend turning quickly to me aud pointing
out the most prominent inspector Of the
bell.
at certainly looks like him, replied.
IF it isn't he, Pm nightly deceived Of
course, he only wore a sandy or reddish
mustache on his face when he went away;
but now he's got that big full beard But
it's Livsey.
"Then went up nearer and stood close
behind the man near the Liberty Bell.
Suddenly he turned clear around with a
start and looked ne full in the face. He
saw it was |, and that knew him, and
he put out his hand, as friendly as you
please, and said:
"Hello, Georgel How are your
Hello Bill said |; didn't quite expect
to see you here Were you here yester-
day-on Pennsylvania Day.
"'Not by a d-n sightv exclaimed
Livsey with a shrug.
"Well, he talked rather freely, and said
that he was only made sapegoat when
he cleared out SO suddenly just after the
Governor had called the special session OF
the Senate to investigate the offices ol
State Treasurer Boyer and Auditor Genera
McCamant, as result Of lot of eompro-
missing letters received by them about in
closures, etc, from ohm Bradsley, Phila-
delpbia's defaulting and convicted Treas
| urer.
"Liysey didn't mention either Boyer.
Bradsl ey or any other names in his talk
with me, though. He just said he'd been
selected, as cashier Of the State Treasury,
to be made scapegoat Of; and that he was
coming back to Pennsylvania some time,
and when he did he'd clear up his name all

Soldiers Children.

The following is correct copy of Act
No. H. passed by the last Pennsylvania
Legislature and approved by the Govern
or April 18, 1893, and shows that Penn
sylyania has not forgotten the debt she
owes her soldiers.

Rebellion in the common schools OF dis

dians or others entitled to their custody

Women at the Polls.

Connecticut women have commenced to
vote. At Mondays election they had the
privilege of voting for school officers in all
towns of the State, and the privilege
was availed Of to great extent.
In Hartford FOL feminine votes were de
posted, out of total of about 800 who
registered In Rockville $50 women yot-
ed, and nearly all supported the Republican
ticket. In some instances they elected
their own representatives on school boards,
but as rule manifested quite as much in
dependence in voting as their husbands in
do. They went at the solving of the
mysteries of the secret ballot in master
ly manner, as might be expected from
women who were attacking secret of any
sort, and, as one ungallant Connecticutter
told reporter, they displayed their
scratching proclivites in perfectly natural
way. We cannot approve of the methods
employed by some of the sterner sex to
prevent their wives from voting. One
man told his wife that if she went to the
polls and voted she would hereafter bring
up the kindlings, wear the trousers and
curry the horse. She was probably intend
Ing to vote against her husbands candi-
date, but anyhow, the man was just too
mean for any use.-Chron. Telegraph.

Cameron's s Betrayal

lie was there for bu siness, if we may
accept the testimony Of David II. Littler,
Of Illinois Said Don to Dave: "Buy me
some silver" Dave bought. And it is
understood that Don knew when to sell as
well az when to buy. Is the Pennsylvania
Senator there for business nOwl The
Financial Chronical remarks that the char
acter and strength Of the feeling with re-
spect to the Senatorial performances "arc
well indicated by the movements in the
stock market, prices rising sharply on the
faintest rumor that progress IS being made
toward settlement, and failing on reports
that obstructive tactics are being renewed" /"
People cannot be blamed for drawing their
own infclences regarding the quality of
Senatorial respect for he"right"of interim
inable obstruction. Mr.. Cameron is not
the only thrifty Senator, and when we see
talk to the effect that the repeal bill will
soon pass alternating with talk of compro-
misc or total failure with something like
the regularity Of the ebb and flow Of the
tide, people will suspect that Senators who
know how these things work arc ''out for
stamps" Stocks rise and fall eS the
rumors run, and who are they that put the
rumors in motion7

Practical Decentralization.

Speaking of the Senators who oppose the
repeal of the Sherman act, the New YORK
Sun observes.
They contend that if bare repeal Is en-
acted the consequence will be the practl-
cal demonstration of silver and IN thus
contending they may be right.
This is, indeed what many OF these 6en-
ators contend; but this expression is mis-
leading, especially when used by paper
usually SO exact in it language as the Sun
How can the practical demonstration OF
silver be the consequence of any present
or future action, when silver already Is
practically demonetized
The Sherman act does not practically
monetize silver. 1t provides for the pur-
chase Of silver bullion, payment peing
made in Treasury notes. These notes are
redeemable in '.coin,', and their present
value depends on the belief that this coin
will be gold. Practically, gold is the only
actual money. Silver, notes and all other
forms of currency are representatives ol
money, of stable value as long as they are
be Iieved to be convertible in gold.
This is not theory, it is condition
which the bare repeal of the Sherman act
would not change. 1t wonld renew con-
fidence in the convertibility Of all our va
rious forms Of currency, silver as well as
paper, and thus would promote the use OF
silver in the ordinary transactions of bust
ness, but it would neither monetize nor de-
monetize silver without some further action
by Congress. To enforce such action is the
svowed purpose of the opponents Of repeal

OBITUARY NOTES.
Hon. Samuel Griffith, of Mercer. Pa
died at his home in that place last Sunday,
Oct. l, in the 18th year Of his age,
Mr.. Griffith when a boy lived in Butler
county. He was born in Wales, Feb. II,
ISl6, and in 1918, his parents came to this
country, and lived for a time in this county
and then removed to Mercer county. Mr..
Griffith's early and first labor was that of a
miner or coal digger. He educated him
self, became prominent lawyer, a sue
cessful business man, member of Con-
gress. and in a word man of high charac-
ter and influence in his community. When
the first efTOrtI were made (about 1860
for railroad connections between Mercer
and Butler counties, and which resulted in
the present SbenangO road and its cOnnec-
tions, Mr.. Griffith was one of the fore
most and most active men in that enter
prise, and this county as well as Mercer owes
much TO his active and efficient labors fol
this road, now extended from here through
to Lake Erie In his personal relations Mr..
Griffith was an honest and honorable man.
HIS funeral took place in Mercer on yes
| day, Thursday.

Ed. CITIzES:-The writer Of this, with
the rest Of Gj grown up people, came on the
above date, duly laden with baskets OF cat
ables, TO have social reunion Of the Stew
art family, at the residence Of S Walker
Stewart of Butler, Pa To say that that
the affair was fully enjoyed scarcely does
Justice 10 the occasion. The practice of
the family has been to meet in reunion
once year, but owing to the hard times
it was thought best not to have the custo-
mary reunion this year However the
family con cluded to surprise Mr.. Stewart,
which they successfully did. on the day
mentioned he was absent on business and
n great time was had in finding him.

AT THE meeting of the chamber of Com
merce in Pittsburg, Monday, the following
resolutions was passed: The chamber Of
commerce ofthe city Of rittsburg, having in
mind the best interests of its memb ers and
with due regard for the welfare of all citizens
whether employers or employees, most
emphatically disclaims being in accord
with the sentiments as officially expressed
by Senator Cameron in favor of the free
coinage Of silver. BY reason of distrust
and uncertainty at the present time all
interests are suffering and worthy wage
earners cannot be given employment until
manufactures and merchants are able TO
market their wares We believe that the
first step towards a renewal of confidence
with a &c essary feeling Of security in our
circulating medium is the passage Of the
Wilson repeal bill by the senate, in the
same form as pass ed in the House Of
Representatives, aud will result in benefit
TO all classes in all parts of the country.
That Senator Cameron is respectfully re
quested to lay aside his own expressed
personal preferences, whether dictated by
friendship, policy or interest, and by voting
for the passage Of the Wilson repeal bill
put himself in accord with very large
majority of his fellow citizens.
Resolved, That a copy Of these resolu-
tions be cent TO Senators Quay and Cam
erOu

NATIONAL greatness, my son, does not
consist in immensity of wealth and popu-
lation, but in intelligence, morality, justice
patriotism. Neither does the national
strength lie in the number of inhabitants.
1t is rather matter of loitiness Of purpose
and unity of opinion. The little Republic
Of Switzerland, with less than three mil
lions of people, would be harder to bring
under the subsection OF a foreign yoke than
the great empire Of China, with nearly five
hundred millions of people. Were the
people of America imbued with one pur-
pose, with one lofty resolution to adhere
to the principals of truth and justice, to
make this country where truth could
freely spread its wings and soar triumph
antly above the mists and clouds of pre-
judices and superstitions, and the rank fos-
sils of old customs-were we all inspired
with the sublime sentiments Of fraternity,
justice and quality, what Nation we
would be Spirit

LET it be understood from one cad Of
the country to the other, from the Pre5i-
dent down to the smallest page in Congress,
that Republicans will take no chances on
the repeal Of the election laws. There
is no question Of dollars and cents that
compares in the mind Of a Republican
with the question of the right OF every
American citizen, black or white, in Texas
or in Maine, to perfect freedom to cast
his one vote and to have it counted as
cast. II the Democrats are going to raise
that issue now, every other issue must be
pushed aside. But it is to be hoped that
better counsel viii prevail among the
majority at Washington. N. Y. Tribune.
