MORE BOSSISM--HOW CAN
DIDATES ARE MADE.

George Knox Mccain, the versatile
correspondent OF the Philadelphia Press,
seems to have been quietly looking over
Butler county affairs and in a letter to
the Press of Feb 2Sth has this TO say
about Butler county politics: "A pc
culiar and amusing incident connected
with this legislative fight is linked to
the name of N. B. Mcbride of Millers-
town. Mcbride is more or less Of
hustler and has ambitions proportiouate
to his activity. He declared himself
for the legislature weeks ago and coup
led his announcement with the state
ment that he was in the fight to stay.
Everybody took it for granted that such
was the case, but Thomas Robinson.
Warren McCreary and other Influences
willed it otherwise. Thomas Robinson
opposed Mcbride and his argument was
that in as much as Congressman ShO-
walter was from Millerstown. it would
not do to have another office holder from
that community. This specious plea
had no effect ON Mcbride, apparently,
until Warren McCreary, who is one OF
the local representatives Of the Standard
Oil Company, fioated into Alillerstown
one day, so it Is alleged, and had a brief
conversation with Mcbride. 4 day OF
so later Mcbride announced his with
drawal from the race and advanced as
the reason that inasmuch as Showalter
hailed from Millerstown, it would not
do to have another Office holder from
the same community He voiced the
sentiments of Thomas Robinson 50 close
" that one might imagine the ex-State
Printer had written Mr. McBride's lit
tie piece that he was to say in the come
DIV of politics that is now being per
formed before the people of Butler
county. Thus it is that Nelson Thomp-
son mp in Brady got the place Mcbride
coveted
To us it seems a strange thing that an
enterprising place like MillerstOwn
could not have more than one office
holder, if the people of the county saw
proper to elect another without asking
leave of any local boss

THE AFRICAN WAR.

On Monday of last week the Beers
abandoned all their positions around
Ladysmith without losing single gun
or piece of baggage. They made use of
railroads, sending their heavy guns
towards Pretoria, and their lighter ones
towards Bloemfontein The English
cavalry entered the town, next morn
ing. and found both men and horses
nearly famished. The Beers will
probably fortify TIE passes in the
Drakensburg mountains, and leaving a
few men to defend them, assemble in
the Free State.
DR. Leyds says that Gen. Joubert is
assembling 1900 men at Winburg, 20
miles northeast of Bloemfontein. Col.
Albrecht, according to a dispatch from
Paardeberg. afirms that the Beers have
75. 600 men left
Winburg is at the base of a mountain
range in the northern-centralp part of the
Free State.
London went mad, over the relief of
Ladysmith and the great bell of st.
Pauls was rang.
Gen. Cronje and his family We're
sent to Cape Town and placed on a

During the rest of the week there was
no news from Roberts; and the Euro
pean papers were talking of Mediation.
On Monday the British and Boer
armies We're facing each other on posi-
tions to the south of the Modder river,
but as Joubert and his army had not
yet arrived from Natal it was not be-
lieved that the Beers intended making
a determined stand there.
An expedition was marching to the
relief of Mafeking, which is on the rail
road nearly 200 miles north of Kimberly.

4. l.. CAMPBELL VS. FLfNN'
MARTIN, EFT. AL.

We observe in last weeks Eagle, that
our old friend, A. L. Campbell, of
Petrolia, as champion of Quay, enters
the political arena, hat in hand, for a
bout with Finn, Martin and Wanna
maker, because these gentlemen have
the termity to oppose the selfish and
corrupt political methods of the Quay
machine We are not the champion of
either of the gentlemen against whom
Mr.. Campbell directs his Philippe, as
tn ey are not candidates and are gener-
ally able to take care of themselves
But a little comparison between Mr.
Campbell's ''honored citizen, NJ ).
Quay" and.the gentlemen he attacks will
give our readers chance to judge OF
the business of Mr.. Campbell assertions
about party wrecking." Mr. Quay
has been almost constantly in Office
since 1865 when he was appointed Pro
thonotary of Beaver county. and has
been one of the most persistant office
holders since then we know of. scarcely
year since then but he has been draw
ing public money either from the Penn
sylvania or the Z. S. Treasury. During
all these years we don't know OF any
great measures that he has originated
that have been Of any great benefit 70
the people, and certainly no great ser
vice rended but what could have been
done equally well by hundreds. Yes
thousands of men in Pennsylvania. had
it fallen 20 their lot 10 do so.
How about Wm. Finn, who Mr..
Campbell refierts on? He started as
poor boy in Pittsburg and by attention
10 his duties and industry grew TO man
hood, embarked in business for him
self and IN the last twenty years has
been one OF the leading spirits in grad
ing. improving and beautifying the city
of Pittsburg and making it one of the
best paved cities in the land, with parks
and drive ways second to none, and N
the prosecution of his business has been
an employer of labor to tine extent of
from three thousand TO four thousand
men in stone quarries, grading. and i'm
proving the city, and not a man but al
ways got his pay for his work We ask
Mr. Campbell, was his man Quay ever
blamed with giving employment to
labor and thereby benefiting his kind
That Mr. Finn has been successful IN
his business Is 10 his credit, and IN do
ing 50 he has the confidence and esteem
Of the best men and inanciers OF Pitts
burg. He has been leader IN the Re
publican party in Pittsburg, looking 70
the best interests OF the people, and as

THE STATE TREASU RY.

For great many years-twenty or
thirty-it was bruited about that inter
est was being paid by the banks that
held State money OF depoIst, and that
one of the reasons that School Districts
could not get their : ppropriation was,
because the money was drawing inter
est and the funds would not be with
drawn by the State Treasurer till the
time was mp that the State money had
been left on deposit. Be this as II NAV,
one thing we know Is that no interest
received on State money from banks
