Senator Meredith, of Kittnnning, has introduced a bill In tho Senate "provid ing thai all 4jongrewicnal, judicial and legislative nomination in districts com posed of more than one county bo made at primary elections by ballot." This will do away with' tho conference sys tem. If It becomes a law, and will pre vent considerable bad feeling which usually arises from the election of a Senator by the old system. The prosperity of a town, village or city, says an exchange, is not guided by the wealth of Its Inhabitants, but the uniformity with which they pull to gether when any Important duty Is to be accomplished. A man with a thousand dollars at his command and an Interest in the wolfare of his town at heart can do more for tho building and improve ments of it than a mllllonare who locks up bis capital and snaps his finger at borne progress. The State Board of Agriculture Is be ing urged upon to endorse a bill to bo introduced by Senator W. M. Drown, of Lawrence, grant ing a State bounty upon beet sugar. The bill, which is prao tically a copy of the New York law, grants a bounty of 1 cent per pouud on all sugar manufactured from boets raised in Pennsylvania for which the sugar factory has paid not less than $5 per ton. This bounty 1b to be offered for five years. Tho New York law, which went Into effect in 1897, is limit ed in its operations to Ave years, and the appropriations for bounties in 18 was 950,000. Michigan has a similar law. Three weeks ago THE Star stated, from what was considered good author ity, that according to a decision of the internul revonue department, bank de positors are not required to put a stamp on checks drawn against their own do' posits, payable to themselves. Since it was published there was a disputo about the statement, and we wrote to the department last week and received the following answer, which shows that we were misinformed: "Treasury De partment, Washington, D. C, January 2th, ISflft: This office acknowledges the reoeipt of your letter of January 25th, 181)0, asking if depositors can use unstamped checks when withdrawing . funds to their credit in banks. In re- ply, you are advised that any check presented by a depositor for the wi'h drawal of funds to his credit, must have two-cent Btamp affixed. Respectfully yours. N. B. Scott, Commissioner." A man named t runk Andrews was arrested In DuBois one day last week for selling oleomargarine and was fined 100.00. H. R.-Curtin, of Bollefonte special agent for the Department of Agrloulture, was in DuBois and bad Andrews arrested. The 'Courier says "Agent Curtln says he knows of several other places In town where the oleo is, or bus been, sold und be warns them that if the practice is not stopped forth with, they will not escape as easily as dfd Andrews." Just why Andrews should be arrested aud fined while the violation of "The Pure Food and Dairy Laws" 1b being carried on by other peo ple in DuBois to the knowledge of the ofllolal, who is sworn to do his duty, is something we don't understand. Every last one who sells oleo in DuBois do served the suute punishment as that given to Andrews. We have been in1 formed that there is a follow in Reyu oldsville who is selling oleomargarine and palming it off for creamery butter It is sold for 18 or 20 cents per pound The proper authorities should invest!' gale and see if It is oleo or pure butter, HlQti Scliool Bulletin.

We have been asked by a number of our readers to give some information calculated to enlighten the voters of Jefferson county on the poor farm qties- lon, upon which they are to vote at the ensuing election. Wo have no dof- ti I to data on tho subject, but have un derstood, In a general way, that thoso counties which have established county homes are Very much pleased with them, and could not be Induced to go back to the old township overseer syBtom. The experience of Clearfield county In this matter has been very satisfactory, hav- ng greatly reduced tho expense of main taining the poor, and providing better quarters for them than they would otherwise have had. Their poor farm and buildings cost about $"), (KM). When tho bill which gives the opportunity to veto on this question was before the House, a number of Representatives from counties having poor farms ex pressed themselves a being strongly In favor of such institutions, declaring tltat they wero less expensive and more humane ttian the old system, and that their constituents would r.ot think of going back to what they termed the barbarous" method of "farming out" tlie poor. Tho success of such an institution would of course depend largely upon Its management. It might be made very expensive by improcr management. Hut there Is no reason why Jefferson county could not manage a poor farm just a well as any other county. It is only a question of getting the right men at the head of it. The question Is raised by some of tho residents of tho more prosperous agri cultural townships, where they havo very few paupers, that by adopting tbo county system, they would becomellod to bear an equal share of the burdon of maintaining the poor of thoso thickly populated districts where the poor tax is heavy. This is true, but tho prob ability is that, after tho poor farm and buildings wero paid for, the tax levy for maintaining the institution would bo lower, even in those townships whore it i now tho lowest, than ever before. But their is something else to be con sldnred. A man's humanity and benevo lence should not bo confined within township lines. If a poor farm is a good thing for tho county at large, and would provide a more humane method for car ing for the indigent and helpless, who would be so lacking in the attributes which should characterize every chrls tian gentleman kindness and brother ly sympathy as to begrudge a few pen' nles additional? Thoso who do take this view of it should remember that, were it not for the large mining com munitles In the county they would re' celve about ono-thlrd less for their pro duce Edward Roitz, a country mer chant of Bolloviuw, and ono of tho most intelligent men in tho county, said tho other day that the farmers of Jcf' forson county received at least 60 per cent, more for their produce than they would If compelled to send it to Pitts' burg. This being true, no benovolent and broad-minded farmer would object to a few cents additional poor tax when he felt he was benefiting a community that benefited him. We havo no idea, how ever, that tho poor tax would bo in' creased one cent, excepting possibly for the first fow years, until the county homo was paid for. After that the probability is that it would be cheaper for everybody. Punxsutawncy Spirit Rathmel. Miss Mary Groham, of Helvetia, is visiting in town this week. P. J.
