Birthday Surprise Party.

While Stacy Coles was working in the
field on Saturday afternoon, one of his
neiehbors, who was driving by with his
family, called to Mr.. Coles and asked
him to go to his house with them. On
their arrival Mr.. Coles was greatly sur
prised on seeing his yard rapidly filling
with carriages, and he was soon made
aware of the object of their visit. In a
short time guests numbering sixty-eight
had arrived, and all hands at once went
about making preparations for having a
good time. The gentlemen passed the
time in discussion of various subjects,
and it must be said that the great nation
al questions, over which public opinion is
so greatly divided, were among the chiei
topics of conversation. While the men
were thus engrossed, the women folks
were busily engaged in getting supper,
and the repast consisted of a bountiful
supply of good things, the like of which
can only be had at our country %neighbors
| After heartily partaking of supper and
expressing many good wishes fol- their
host, the company departed for their
homes.

MRS. Eli1s at Friesburg.

On Friday night of next week, Sept.
25th, Mrs Ellis. the State Secretary of
New JERSEYS W. c. T. U. forces, will
deliver one of her interesting lectures on
some phase of woman's work, in the
Fries0urg Lutheran Church. Her very
position would insure her g we'll qualified
lecturer. Those who heard her at Dare
town last spring speak very highly of
her addresses.
The broad, deep, intelligent woman
hood of the day is one of the most help
full signs which the nineteenth century
will 6equeath to it's successor. Our
sensible daughters are beginning to
modestly protest against the good old
time customs of considering them
"inferior. " weak minded" and ''help.
less'' creatures, made for the express
purpose of being obedient servants to
men. The day of their independence has
already dawned and men will save them
selves a great deal of blushing disgrace,
and their poste-ity an immense amount
of perversion and confusion, by acknowl.
edging their past sins against a patient
womanhood and inviting her to the
honorabl Die place Of a helpmeet, for which
God originally created her; and from
which brutalized manhood has dragged
her.
If the weather is at all favorable, Mrs.
Ellis will be greeted by a full honse.

TO lndoise candidacy so unworthy
on the ground that it has received
the Endorsement Of State Conven-
ton. No such consideration has any
weight with the Times-Herald. A
nomination for Governor may be a
coat OF whitewash, but it cannot
change the spots of leopard or the
skin OF the Ethiopian. The John r.
Tanner of to day is the John r.
Tanner of q year ago, and as such
we repeat, with all the emphasis Of
which words are capable, that his
nomination was discreditable to the
Republican party and offensive to
good citizenship of every shade of
political opinion.
The lntimatlon has been made that
the Times Herald might be disposed
to condone Mr.. Tanners offenses
and modify its views of his candi-
dacy as the price of his support of
Mckinley for President. II We had
been disposed to make such trade
the way was open long ago. There
has been no time within the last six
months when the opposition of the
Illinois machine to Governor Nc
kinley's nomination might not have
been silenced by the Times Herald's 8
advocacy of Tanners nomination for
Governor. Nor was there any mo
ment when the proposition would
not have been as Indignantly spurn
ad as it was in the beginning. If
the idea was iutolerable when the
issue of the st. Louis Convention
was in doubt, it is even more out of
the question now that the nomina-
tion Of Mckinley is assured and
when the machine has been broken
by the people in their wrath.
After the publication Of these few
remarks we trust that there will be
no further doubt where the Times
Herald stands as to the candi dacy OF
John r. Tanner.
The Butler weekly times., 1896-05-21

The fact that he has received the
nomination Of the Springfield Goa
vention neither extenuates nor atones
for Mr.. Tanners notorious short
comings. His nomination was as
certain when we felt called upon to
expose those shortcomings as it was
when the Springfield Convention
met. The conditions were such as
to preclude the possibility of his de-
feat, but it was none the less the
duty of an independent public Jour
nal to raise cry of warning. This
duty was fearlessly discharged, but
we were as frank in predicting his
nomination as in pointing out his
dement's as a candidate and the dis
grace which the nomination would
bring upon the State.
We opposed Mr.. Tanner before
his nomination and oppose him now
because his private and public career
has not been such as to qualify him
for the high office to which he
aspires His illiteracy is notorious.
He can neither speak, spell nor write
the English language. That, kow-
ever, is the least of his shortcomings.
By the employment of a good secre.
tary and typewriter they can be
measurably overcome. He is pro.
fessional Office seeker He is ma.
chine politician welded to the prac.
tlce of the most unscrupulous oi
machine methods for the perversior
of public opinion. His associations
from early life has been dissolute
and in saying thi. we do net refer
to that most painful incident of his
life over which, by common consent
charity casts veil. He borl o Seo

Catholics are devoted to both po

the great Catholic church has never

power by seeking to make politics

Moreover, it is our proua boast that
we have nevel interfered with the

mand the same rights ourselves and
nothing more; and will be content
with nothing less.
