The Past, Present and Future

If is one of the common attributes OF
mankind to at certain period stop ana
look back ito see how far we have
come" to contemplate the progress
we have made and victories won, and 10
consider our errors and defeats. To be
heartened and inspired to future effort
nv the former; cautioned and instructed
by the latter. 1t has also. from the
earliest times, been the desire OF men 10
leave behind them some memorial
whereby to perpetuate their names ana
achievements.
AS these things are true of the lnd1-
yidual, SO are they of the associated
bodies into which man. being grega-
rious creature, Incorporates himself Tor
the purpose of successfully conducting
the affairs of human society, and the
complicated affairs Of civic life
Thus it is that the consummation Oh

of such of our political divisions as have
reached that period towns, counues'
cities. state or Nation) has been made
the occasion of extraordinary exhlol-
tions of public spirit, enthusiasm Jubila-
ton and display.
And this is right. 1t is natural
It is not only pleasure and priVl-
leee to thus give full expression to our
sentiments on such an occasion, put II
ia a dnty which we owe to our forefath-
ers and to posterity. We should De
derelict in our duty to those who nave
gone before, to whom we owe much OF
what is today ours, did we fail to nj
tinply commemorate the work OF those
earnest-hearted pioneers; and we also
owe it to posterity to, at this time, make
adequate record of our progress In tht
mast. and full exhibit of our presen'
condition and attainments. ProJec'
Yourself forward, in imagination,
hundred years and consider with wha'
avidity your descendants and successors
will seize upon such a record as VIII DC

It is in the light of such considera-

The Butler High School.
Extract from Prof. Gibson's report &c
the State Sup'd't Schaeffer.)

Extract from Prof GIBSON report 10
the State Sup'd Schaeffer.)
The growth of our high school con
tinues Both the average monthly
enrolment and the graduating class
were the largest in the history of the
school, the latter numbering thirty
seven. The school board has under
consideration the addition of a CONNER
cial course to the high school curricu-
lum If this contemplated step should
be taken the new course will be made
largely a speciality for the last year, and
pupils in this department will be re
quired to pursue the main portion of
the present curriculum. 1t is hoped
that in this way the culture value of
the high school work will not be impair
ed and that at the same time those who
NAV not be able to pursue their educa-
ton in higher institutions may have
the opportunity of acquiring that
which may be of more direct value IN
earning a livelihood.
Since we have semi-annual promo
tions IN all the grades below the high
school. we are confronted with the prob
lem as to how often pupils shall be ad-
mitted to the high school. Admission
both at the beginning and at the mid
die Of the year seems to be the only
logical solution SO long as the system OF
semi-annual promotions is continued.
And the value of this system of promo
tions in our schools seems to be proven
beyond question by the large percent
age of our pupils who are capable of
doing but one step in a school year, and
who consequently would accomplish
nothing satisfactorily if the steps were
so long as annual promotions would re
quire that they should be.
The compulsory attendance law has
not given us satisfactory results. The
law is very defective to say the least.
The professional zeal and untiring in
dustry of our teachers, the progressive
spirit and liberality of our school board
and the loyalty and enthusiasm of the
general public in behalf of our schools
are most encouraging features of on
work With such conditions as thes'
we are looking forward to bright pros
poets in the future.

The Cause of The Trouble.

Col. NJ. S. Quay, Gov. William A;
ctona Jieut Col James +. Barnett ana
a number of other Quay politicians neld
a conference Yesterday at the Duqueshe
hotel. The main object was to devise
ways and means to defeat Ernest +.
Acheson for Congress in washington
comfy next Saturday. "-Pittsburg ex-
change.
This clipping reveals the cause OF tne
tronbles that arise in our party-the I'M
warranted interference by outsiders III
onr local affairs. What business has
Gov. Stone, Col. Quay or any outsider
70 interfere with affairs in Washington
county? If Gov. Stone would attend 10
b;s duties as governor, he would nave
enough to keep him busy, and besides
that the people did not commission MN
to use the influence of his office to nelp
defeat Mr. Acheson for Congress- OF 10
interfere in any of our elections. Inc
same way when Col. Quay was Senator
there could hardly be an election III any
county in the State without his having
a supervision oyer it, and this is wha'
has led to so much discord in our party
If our Governors, onr Senators, ano
other officials would attend to the duties
of the Offices to which they are elected
and let the Republicans of the counties
conduct their primary elections IN tneii
own way, when elections are over the
neople will be satisfied. But this inter
ference by public officers, and greal
cornorations ike the Standard On
Company and the Sugar Trust, leads tt
the dissatisfaction in our ranks ano
makes a nomination scarcely wortr
having. 1t must be stopped or there
will be a revolt against it.

the REPusLlcAN VICTORY,

The victory for Mckinley 10 an endorse
ment OF trusts, Imperialism and the
single gold standard. There 10 no dodg-
ing these facts. and many people will
undoubtedly live to regret that they cast
their votes for the Republican ticket.
The country is now frmly within the
grasp OF the tFpsts, and the leaders Of
the party that 10 to be continued in

powerful monopolies are not disturbed.

this one will prove an exception to the
rule. The hope - that the people may
yet lie aroused to the danger that
threatens them, and restore it to its
