Politics.

Now, Caesar, after settling everything
in Gaul, came back again. and spent the
winter by the Po, in order to carry out
the design he hac in hand at Rome. All
who were candidates for ofnces
used his assistance and were suppned
with money from him to corrupt the
people and buy their votes, in return OF
which. when they were closen, they qua
ALI things to advance his power. .-Plu

This sentence, from Plutarch's life OF
Cesar. might be taken as text for a
dissertation on Corruption in Modern
Politics"
In ancient, as in modern times, the
successful man used the means necessa-
~ to success. Otherwise he will fail
What is necessary to success Will oe-
pend entirely upon the moral and intel
lectual caliber of the people with whom
you have to deal. If they are boodlers
and place hunters, as in the days OF
Julius Caesar you must give them

If the people in general are honest

tary public service above petty ambiti-
ons and sordid self-interest, they cannot
be won to any mans support unless
they believe that his success is for the
general good.
Caesar properly guaged the intellect
ual qualities Of the ancient Romans,
and induced them by whatsoever
means would win. to assist him in build
ing up great empire, and spreading
abroad the arts of civilization.
Politics Is the science of getting
things accomplished. Where the will
of the people is supreme they must be
won over by appeals to their patriotism
and love of good government;
by appeals to their credu-
lity and gullibility; by seducing them
with brides and promises of preferment,
or by all three methods combined.
The first method should be the only
one employed, and if the people were all
honest patriots. no other method would
win But politics is politics, and is
bound to be good or bad in exact pro-
portion to the ratio of good or bad peo-
pie who take part in public affairs. -

At the meeting of Butler Presbytery
at Stone church near Crawfords corners,
Tuesday, the fortieth anniversary of
Rev. J. r. Coulter's pastorate of the
church was celebrated. Rev. Coulter
was born near Butler, April 23rd, 1929.
He was a son of Rev. John Coulter, at
that time pastor of the churches at
Butler, Muddy Greek and Concord,
the oldest Presbyterian congregation in
Butler county. and OF which he continu-
ed in charge from 1923 to 1854. Young
Jonathan prepared for college at Beaver
academy, his brother, Samuel L. Coulter,
a graduate Of jefferson college, being
principal of it. He graduated in 1851.
In the fall OF that year he entered the
Western Theological seminary. He was
licensed to preach in June, 1856. He be-
gan preaching in Scrubgrass church on
the last Sunday of the year. continuing
as stated supply until his ordination
and installation on August 25. 1857
When Rev J. r. Coulter began his
work in Scrubgrass church there was no
church building or organization of any
denomination in Emlenton, four miles
distant, and many of the people of that
place, including the families of Alex
and Elias Widel attended the service at
the Stone church until the organization
of the Emlenton Presbyterian congrega-
tion. For many years he has labored
under peculiar physical disability,
permanent enlargement and stiffening
of the joints. but not painful, and for
nearly 30 years he has delivered his
sermons from high seat in the pulpit.
He walked on crutches for many years,
bnt for some time he has not been able
to walk at all. When placed in bug
gy, however. he has been able to visit
and do good among his parishioners.
Although sobadly crippled he has not
missed a spring meeting of Presbytery
for Al years. during the greater part of
which time he has been stated clerk OF
Butler Presbytery, and was reelected
to the position for five years at the
April meeting here in 1896.
At the celebration, Tuesday well chosen
and appropriate remarks were made by
Revs. McConkey. of Grove City: Hazlett,
of Sarversville; Decker, of Sunbury:
McNees. of Cooperstown, and Mcclure,
of Bruin.

1HE IMPROVEMENT

NOT A CLOUD ON THE HORIZON
TO MENACE BUSINESS.
What a Well Known Economist
Declares the Republican
Party Has Done.

Theodore Justice. the well known
Pennsylvania economist, writes as fol-
lows in a recent issue of the Philadel-
phia Bulletin:
There is no need any longer to walt
for prosperity; 1t is here now. and
things are going right. The day for ca
lamity bowling Is over. and we have a
fair and well balanced tariff law which
promises to be reasonably permanent.
Manufacturers and merchants can now
conduct their business with relief from
that crushing anxiety that accom-
panied the Wilson tariff act.
The wool schedule Of the new tariff,
which Is practically the re-enactment
of the Mckinley rates with no changes,
except such as were improvements, is
generally regarded with satisfaction by
those in business. and the wool grow
ers of the United States are delighted
with the result. Many Of them never
expected to again see adequate pro-
lection to their industry.
The Wilson act caused prices to fall
to the foreign level. and also caused the
closing of one-half of the American
mills. thus narrowing the market for
American wool one-half. as we'll as
causing a shrinkage of one-half in the
value, but under the prospect OF the
restoration of the Mckinley rates on
wool. under the name of the Dingley
act. mills began to start up and the
consumption of wool is now almost
back to normal conditions. 1t Is believed
that for the coming year the consump-
tion of wool by domestic manufacturers
will exceed that of any previous year.
not only making market for wool. but
giving employment to labor. furnishing
II with ability to purchase much need
ed household supplies. which spreads
money in every direction. thus increas-
ing the general prosperity.
For the first time in four years there
is not a cloud on the horizon to menace
business prosperity. Those who are an
ticipatine an immediate boom. however,
may be disappointed. The improvement,
to be lasting. must be gradual. The
tendency of prices will be upward. The
prospect of higher cost for material
acts as a spur upon the demand. Since
the Wilson law was contemplated the
tendency Of prices for merchandise has
been downward. acting as check to
business expansion, for merchants then
stocking their shelves were confronted
with the prospect OF having merchan-
olse SnrinH IN NdIie DtIore IL couiu De
disposed OF. Shrinking prices has been
the rule. so that loss fell upon the man
uracturer, and upon the merchant; and
nothing encouraging accompanied the
conduct Of business until good times
were brought in sight by the election of
President Mckinley, who. although de-
risively termed "the advance agent Of
prosperity" has proven that many a
true word is spoken In jest The ad
vance agent OF prosperity" Is followed
by the successful realization OF more
than was promised. and both employer
and employe can now confidently look
forward to a return OF the time when
America is again to be the most pros
porous nation.

The best thing that can happen to
American manufacturers is that they
shall have a monopoly of the home
market first of all. The worst thing is
that foreigners shall occupy this mar
ket so largely that the Americans. to
meet them, must cut prices below the
profit point and then almost give away
the surplus to Europeans. The notion
that trade over seas is a sign OF pres
perity is a British notion. 1t is pro-
mulgated in this country by free trad
ers. who regard the British stamp upon
anything. from an economical idea to
a high hat. as an assurance of correct
ness. We do make some things which
we can export at a profit. because we
beat the world in producing them. but
this Is not true OF the mass Of our
manufacturers. Philadelphia (Pa.)

try was allowed on Saturday TO see and

Since the hanging of Holmes the Coun-
ty Prison authorities have rigidly en-
forced an old law which prohibited per-
sons condemned TO death from receiving
any visitors, even legal and spiritual ad-
visers being excluded.
a bill has just been passed by the
Legislature. and on Friday was signed by
the Governor. repeating this old law and
permitting condemned murderers 10 re-
ceive visits from their lawyers and fam
ity. and any minister of the Gospel whom
they may designate.
Lawyer Munce, on Saturday, presented
himself at the prison with certified
copy of the new law, and was admitted
10 see his client
, Gentry was very glad TO see his coun-
sci. and they held long consultation
over the possibilities of securing clemen-
cy for the condemned actor.
Mr.. Munce said Gentry was very weak
and low-spirited. and that he brooded
constantly over his crime.
