The principal leaders gre Former Presi- dent Cardenas, General Pais Diego and Fernando Chamorro. The latter two are wealthy and prominent members of the Conservative party.

Butler County's Turn.
Communicated

This year we elect congressman, and
we claim it is Butler County's time for
good many reasons. The last congress
man we had was in the person of Cap
tain Fleeger elected in 1884. Captain
Fleeger should have been reelected III
1886, but after Intellectual effort to make
a nomination in the conference it was re-
fered to the state committee and resulted
| in the nomination of Dr. w. i. Roberts
of Crawford county, who was defeated
| in the fall; Norman Hall of Mercer coun-
ty elected. After the present district
was formed and in 1888 Newton Black
| was presented by this county, and III the
| convention he, several times, came with
| in one vote of making the nomination,
| but it finally resulted in the nomination
| of c. c. Townsend of Beaver Co. with
| the express understanding that Beaver
| Co. would return the compliment next
| time. In 1890 Mr.. Black was presented
again by Butler Co. and expected the
the Beaver Co. delegation would be as
| good as its word and nominate a Butler
Co. man, but after two meetings OF the
convention they not only refused to do
SO, but three OF their delegates sold out
"for SO many pieces of silver, which re-
suited in the Phillips Mcdowell contest;
and E. G, Gillespie of Mercer Co. was,
elected, In 1892 to help bury the hatch
ct and get away from that old fight that
only helped the Democracy, Butler Co.
Yielded her chances, Mr.. Black stepped
J aside and Mr.. Phillips RECEIVED the unan
famous support of our delegation and be,
came the nominee in the district, and
Alex Mcdowell received the support o.
Butler county's delegation in the State
: Convention that nominated him for Con
gresham at large. In 1894 to still fur
ther heal the breach Mr.. Black agar
stepped aside to let Mr., Phillips have th'
party usage of two terms All this wa
doue for the good of the cause, that w
might get away from the old fight in th
district that was in no way chargeabl
to the delegation irony Butler COUNTY o
the candidate. 6incel Butler Co, had
Congressman twelve years ago, Merce
Co. has had three congressman, and nov
has the position of chief clerk of congress
man. Beaver County has had the U.
Senator and congressman, Lawrenc
! Co. has had the Congressman two terul
e and, in all fairness, Butler Co. is eutitle
6 to the nomination this year, Ou
county will present nominee to tn
Convention when it meets and will clair
at the hands of the other counties tn
fair treatment that we in the past hav
extended to them.

The ruling of the Supreme Court IN
the cases of the Butler Water Company
leaves the ground rather clearer as to the
mutual rights of people interested In 'ne
ruritv Of water. and those interested IN
enterprises which do not contribute 10
that quality of the streams. In the low
er court the water company was held 10
he bound to furnish potable water to Its
customers: but when it sought to re-
st rain an oil we'll in the vicinity from
enriching the water supply with num-
erous undesirable constituents the Butler
court refused the relief.
This judicial intimation that the water
company was at liberty to pick the oil
and salt out of its water supply, or 10
seek new stream where the wildcatter
ceaseth from troubling is not sustained
in its entirety by the Supreme Court
The decision establishes that wafer
company which does not furnish water
that will assuage thirst or cleanse IN
purpose; though, as it may by compar,
ison clense the sewers, that portion OF
its supply used for sewer purihcation Is
to be paid for. On the other hand' ne
principle seems to be laid down than an
oil we'll has not the unlimited privilege
to contribute salt, oil and other condi
ments to the stream which water com
pany depends on for public supply II
is at least compelled to use some ei1or
to make its undesirable products hoV
away below the inhuent pipes OF INT
water company.
This affords some definition OF thu
mutual rights of oil wells and water com
panies. The more general question o
the relation of oil wells to streams whiei
furnish water to considerable agricultu
raj communities still lacks adjudication

Life is a task to be done. We are
placed here, like dog on tread-mill,
and must keep going, or fail and be
crushed. To be free from pain, and to
have some pleasant dreams, is the best
we can expect. Work, worry and
trouble. And we kick about it, But
that is really what gives life its zest. If
every individual possessed the magic
ring of Alladin, and could instantly salts
fy every wish as fast as 1t arose, lite
would become a burden and bore. Tt
struggle, to strive, and to triumph, il
the only Joy.

The CITIZEN is constantly importuned
to help aspiring candidates by favorable
notices. 1t is hard to resist these appeals
but little reflection will convince any
one that where there are a number of
good men aspiring for the same Office,
we must treat them all alike in these col
umns. If we give the good qualities of
one, and say nothing about the other, we
throw ourselves open to the charge OF
partiality. When the nominations are
made, it is different. Until then we

This vessel was rejected because she fell
