THE sixteenth celebration of the
birthday of General Grant by the Amer
icus Club in Pittsburg, Saturday night.
was made notable by the presence OF
three members Of the Presidents Cabi-
net and by the eloquent memorial ad
dress delivered by c congressman Little
field, whose repute an orator is unex
celled in Congress. These annual trib
utes to the memory of the great soldier
by the Americus Club have become ot
National interest, serving to keep his
memery green and at the same time
contributing no little to the furtherancs
Of the principles of the party of which
he was SO distinguished member.
U. s. Attorney General P. C.. Kno,
acted as toast master, and after Little
field, Sec. Shaw and General Vile,
made speeches.

The Truth OF the Matter.

EKAsTowN, Pa, April 80. 1902.
ED. CITIZEN:-Last week I sent to
YOU letter which / had received from
Judge Greer. which you published in
your last issue. / enclose you letter
which received from James NJ. Gal
breath, ESQ. relative to this same mat
ter which wish you would also pub
lish. Very truly yours,
Jos. G. HEPLER.
BUTLER, Pa, April 81, 1902.
J. C. HEPLER, ESQ,
DEAR SIR:-Mr Negley of
the BUTLER CITIZEN has referred to
me a letter received by him, enclosing a
letter from Judge Greer, to yourself, in
which the Judge says, in substance,
that no promise was made by him to
me ten years ago, which would preclude
him from being a candidte at the pres
ent time.
/ cannot answer for anything that
| took place ten years ago between Judge
Greer and other prospective candidates
at that time, but do know what took
place between him and me.
AS you probably know, we both ex-
pected to be candidates at that time for
the Republican nomination for Judge,
but as we both came from the same cor
ner of the county, our mutual friends
did not wish to ses us both in the field
at the same time. Some of these friends
representing both Mr. Greer and my
self had a conference over the matter.
| In this conference it was arranged and
/ agreed that I, being the younger in
years, should stand aside at that time,
and, SO far as l was concerned, give him
a clear field, and that Mt the end of his
term of ten years, he would not be can
didate against me- This arrangement
was made known to Mr.. Greer and my
self. and in order that the wish of our
friends might be carried out, saw Mr.
Greer, and said to him, that intended
to be a candidate for Judge-but not
until the next time. He said to me, Il
will Just say this to you, will be can
date this time and whether successful
or defeated will not be candidate
again"
Our whole arrangement had reference
to the time when his ten year term
would expire, and to no other. The
conversation between Mr.. Greer and
myself took place in the Court room in
Butler, and had no other conversation
or arrangement with him about it at
any other time or place. In order that
our agreement might be kept / was not
candidate ten years ago, but support
ed Mr. Greer, both at the nomination
and election, and, up until the Judge
became pronounced candidate for re-
election, supposed that our agreement
would be kept inviolate on, both sides
As you, 1 think, know. it has been my
purpose and desire to avoid all public
and personal controversy, during the
progress of the campaign, but when my
attention was called to the letter receiv-
ed by you, felt that it was duty to
myself to write you this letter, stating
the exact truth of this matter.
Yours very truly,
JAMES M. GALBREATH
We call particular attention to the
words whether successful or defeated"
which give the lie to all Greer's state
ments now, for who, knowing the
public and private records of the two
men but will take the word of MIR. Gal
breath over the oath of Judge Greer.

THE Office Of county superintendent
of public schools is one of the most re-
sponsible positions in the State Its du-
ties are manifold, and the man who at
tends to them properly must be a very
busy m an. To visit all the schools in q
county as large as Butler at least once
during term, to conduct examinations
and county Institutes, attend local in
stitutes and look after the general well
fare Of all the schools in proper man
ner, requires the expenditure of great
deal of energy and considerable money.
What human Office could be Of more
importance than to supervise the educa-
ton of our youth, to direct the cultiva
ton Of the intellect, and see that ou1
boys and girls are being developed into
real men and women. A man who fill
the Office properly is deserving of &
greater salary than any other county of
fiicial. but as rule his salary is the

WASHINGTON NOTES.

On Tuesday the House passed the
Public Buildings bill by vote of 1855 tc
|33. The bill appropriates seventeen
millions for new P. o. and other build
ings.
/ Two important measures were
sent to the president on Monday for his
signature, the oleomargarine and the
Chinese exclusion bills. Both passed
the conference stage and were favor
ably acted upon by both houses of
congress that afternoon in their pres
ent shape.
In the house, during the discussion
of the agricultural appropriation bill,
Representative Sibley roundly denounc-
ed Gen. Smith iOr his order to make
the island of Samar ''howling wilder
ness" Mr. Sibley declared that Gen.
Smiths method is not our kind of civil
ization and that this was not Christian
izing the world Mr.. Sibley was ap-
plauded time and again during his re-
marks, and as he concluded the applause
was deafening.
Wall street will know when the re-
ports are all in that President
Roosevelt intends TO attack all the illegal
trusts and corporations of the country
The President is SO vastly pleased with
the reception given his instructions to
Attorney General Knox to proceed
against the beef trust that he will take
up the case of any trust that may come
into his field of vision.
Mr.. Roosevelt consulted with Senator
Burrows, the leading opponent of the
sugar trust in the Cuban reciprocity
fight in the Senate last week, about
the possibility of getting after that
combination. The Senator told the
President that proof could be procured
showing that that trust acts in exactly
the same way as the beef trust, arbitrari-
| ly raising and lowering prices, and in
transgressing the law in regard to the
distribution and sale of it's product.
The President said that if this proof
could be furnished he would at once in
struct Attorney General Knox to pro-
ceed against the sugar trust Senator
Burrows will furnish the information
that will lead to the proof
A Western lawyer who is a warm
friend of the President called at the
White House Thursday. and in the
course of conversation asked about the
merger. The President-gave his friend
a personal note of introduction and sent
him to the Attorney General.
