presented to its readers, a supplement
CE TE Tey
“Was He Afraid 2°
The above is the head under which
the daily Gazette, of Saturday, gracious
ly informs us that we know nothing of
the field of journalism, and kindly ad-
vises that it is not criminal to write
our sentiments—approval or disap-
proval of various matters—for public
perusal. We are to be congratulated,
indeed, that one of the writers of the
Gazette's brilliant (?) staff has so far
condescended (?) as to make comment
on the WATCcHMAN'S writings.
The article—and if we would truly
appreciate the glory it has brought to
us, by even attracting a moment's no-
tice from those who honor (?) the pro-
fession which we must surely burden, we
should have it framed—was about as fol
lows : “There seems to be a great diver.
sion of opinion as to the performance giv-
en by the “Electric Spark Co,” the other
night. Some think it was good, while
others say it was rank.” And it ap
peared in last week’s paper.
In our 1ssue of October 2nd, we gave
“The Electric Spark” local advertise-
ment, but not once saying it was a
good show preferring, however, to see
it before we passed judgment on its
merits. We were not displeased with
the performance the company gave
on Monday night; ic truth the writer
was quite delighted with the orchestra,
and the fact that the soprano, tenor
and commedian all received encores
on their songs; while the violinist was
recalled four times,is evidence that part
of the house, at least, appreciited the
work of the entertainers. We have
had mauy poorer showsin Bellefonte,
and not .caring to discourage the pat-
ronage of a company which has many
inferiors, drawing large houses every
night, we simply gave the two diverse
expressions we heard as we walked
out of the lobby of the Opera House,
after the performance was over. And
we implore your pardon dear Gazette
if 1t is presumption for us to say that
{ both remarks were made by people
almost (?) as capable of judging as you
are.
Each issue of the Gazette for three
days previous to the arrival of the
| show assured the theatre going public
that “it would be a very fine eutertain-
| ment” and published a clipping, from
{ the DuBois Courier, which was quite
flattering indeed, yet this same paper,
afterit had done all it could to make
containing the message of Governor the people believe we were to have a
Parrison to the Senate now in extra-
ordinary session. The facts which he
givesin reference to the management
of the state's finances and the methods
which he exposes, as those employed
by the creatures of the republican state
ring now in control of the Auditor Gen-
eral and State Treasurer’s office, are
startling warnings tothe tax-payers, of
the necessity of an immediate and
radical change, not-only in the man-
agement but in the influences that sur-
round these two offices.
The message, although lengthy, is
not too long to give a clear, concise
and understandable statement of the
facts which none dispute, and which
the books and condition of the depart.
ment, referred to, only-tce clearly prove,
It is from the records and the affidavits
of the two accused officials themselves,
that the Governor derives the informa-
tion giver. This shows, ‘that through
the negligence, stupidity or rascality,
of these two republican officials, the
tax-payers of the state have suffered a
loss of OVER a million and a quarter
of dollars and that carelessness, corrup-
tion and conepiracy permeates every
sub division of these two departments.
To the honest readers of the Warch-
MAN, whether democrat or republi-
can, we appeal for & eareful reading of
this shameful showing of official inca-
pacity and roguery, and for an unbias-
ed verdict as to what should be done to
prevent a continuance of this robbery
or the longer covering up of corrup-
tion, that has ot yet been unearthed.
The entire matter is now with the
tax-pavers of the state. If they ap-
prove of the methods exposed, methods
which have tarnished the reputation of
the state and lost to its people millions
of dollars, wrung from the farmers and
laborers in taxes, they will of course
continue the rule of the same ring, by
voting for its candidates, Grease and
Mo rrISON.

—————
Where the Responsibility Rests.
I'he papers and politicians of the Re-
publican party opposed to an investi-
gation of the charges preferred against
a Republican Auditor General and a
Republican State Treasurer, seems to
be terribly exorcised about the cost of
the special session of the Senate, and
are sparing no space or words in their
attempt to hold Governor Parrison re-
spousible for this expense. :
They either forget, or hope the peo-
ple will, that it is not in consequence
of anything that Governor PaTTison
has done, that from tourty to fifty thous-
and dollars of the people’s mondy, is
to be paid out for the purposes for
which the Senate has been called to-
l
tigation now going on, the
shoulders of the Governor.
It is those who have been direlect
and dishonest in the discharge of their
duties as state officials—a Republican
Auditor General and a Republican
State Treasurer—who are responsible
for the costs of the session of the Sen-
ate now being held. It is to the ac-
tion of these two republican ring offi-
cials that the taxpayers will charge
this additional expense. Had they
done their duty, had they recognized
the mandates of the law, or regarded
the sanctity of their oaths of office,
there would have been no need for an
extra session; neither would there have
been one to add additional expense to
the tax-ridden people of the State.
This fact the tax-payers will not for-
get.

Candidate Wright on the Equalization
of Taxation,
In a speech at Greensburg on Thurs-
day last, candidate Rost. E. WricnT,
gave to the farmers of that section of
the State, in an honest, nanly straight.
forward way, his ideas of taxation. As
this is a matter of most vital import-
ance to all farmers, we copy a goodly
portion of his remarks, for the benefit
of those who look to the Watchman
for information of this character. He
said :
There is no branch of legislation in
which the power of an influence other
than the will of the people to shape its
course has been more forcibly illustrat-
ed than in the matter of the tax laws of
your State. One of the worst results of
the system of special legislaticn existing
before the adoption of the present Con-
stitution was the condition of our tax
patchwork of special acts enacted from
time to time to meet temporary emer-
gencies.
There was an absolute want of uni-
formity of its objects and rate of taxa-
tion and of machinery for their collec-
tion. The system of collecting a State
tax on real estate based on local assess-
ments had fostered a practice of under-
valuations resulting in the grossest in-
justice. and sometimes in absolute
fraud.
CAUSED A PUBLIC SCANDAL.
This inequality existed not only as
between counties, but between town-
ships and towns in the same county, and
finally became so general as to create a
public scandal. High nominal rates on
low valuations in some districts created
the impression, by comparison with
other districts, of overtaxation. This
feeling was intensified by the palpable
and indisputable tact that the personal
property of the State was escaping taxa-
tion entirely, and that while the bur-
dens of State government were borne by
the corporations, yet the much heavier
burdens of local government were borne
entirely by the owners of real estate.
Naturally the feeling of unrest and
dissatisfaction became strongest among
the farmers of the State. They were
most heavily burdened while they were
least able to bear it. It is true that the
nominal rates of taxation on real estate
in cities may have been higher than on
farms, yet it was undeniable that the
farmers were carrying the heaviest bur-
den. For when you taxed the real es-
tate of a farmer you taxed him upon all
he was worth. His farm, as a rule, con-
stituted his entire possessions. When
you taxed that none ot his means escap-
ed, for he had none other. Aye, the
probability was th. t the farm was mort-
gaged, but he got no credit on that
score.
In cities and towns this was not the
case. When you taxed a city merchant,
manufacturer, lawyer or banker on his
real estate, you reached but a small pro-
ortion of his wealth ; the bulk escaped.
hese facts stared the people in the face
when the constitution of 1873 was
adopted providing that thereafter taxes
should be uniform and be levied under
general laws.
THE FARMERS’ RIGHTS IGNORED.
Ever since then, for fifteen years the
people have been insisting that the spir-
it of this provision of the Constitution
should be enforced, but year after year
bas the Legislature refused their peti-
tion. Stronger and stronger bas be-
come the demand as year by year the
Legislature refused to heed the furmers'
demands,
Governor Pattison in the first term of
his administration pressed the Legis.
lature to meet this demand, but they re-
fused. Bill after bill was defeated or
buried, until finally a bill actually pass-
ed the Legislature, but was lost or
mislaid in some mysterious way. Fi-
lature, and as a result of the farmers’ re-
valt last year, a bill was passed that may
afford some temporary measure of relief.
But it comes far from meeting the de-
mands of the Constitution. It fails nt-
terly to meet the just petition of the
farmers, that taxation should be equal
and upon all classes of property. Thus,
for all this time has the Legislature fail-
gether, but asa result of the action of
two republican state officials,
Governor PATTiSoN i8 no more re-
sponsible for the expense of the extra ,
session of the Senate, than isany mem- |
bar ot that body now in Harrisburg at- i
tending to the business for which it |
was convened. Under thelaw he had |
a duty to perform, and he performed
it, just as each Senator is supposed to |
be performing his, and for the same |
reason, that their oaths of office re-
quire them to do so, one might as well '
charge the Judges of the court’ with
the expense necessitated in the trial of
a criminal, as attempt to lay the re-
ed to respond to and reflect the wili of
the masses in » government which, the-
oretically, is a goyernment by the peo-
ple.
Last winter 1 appeared before the
House and Senate Committees on behalf
of a client to present an argument |
against one provision of the Taggart
bill—a provision which they deemed un-
constitutional, and which they claimed
would result in inequality of taxation— |
and I there endeavored to impress upon |
them the vhoughts to which I" have just |
given expression. I objected to one pro- |
vision of the bill as unwise and uncon-
stitutional; but I declared that, in my
judgmewt, corporations are not paying
their proportion of taxes and the farm-
ers were paying too much. TI presented
to the committee the outlines of a bill
that would have met all the objections
make a visit home, s0 as to be there on |
nally, at the last session of the Legr-
enemies. I know that the sincere
friends of that reform on both commit-
i tees approved of my suggestions, but
{ were powerless to adopt them.
If the principles outlined 1n that ar-
i gument had been followed you would
| have had true tax equalization, but it
was not. By almost a strict party vota
{in Senate and House the Taggart bill
! was thrown out by the Republican
{ bosses, and yet these men ask that farm-
| ers shall vote for them again. I am be-
| fore the people of Pennsylvania to-day
to regret no single word spoken, and to
| withdraw 10 principle announced in
that argument. I present it to the
farmers of Pennsylvania as my plea in
‘favor of that equalization of taxation
{ for which they have so long fought.

}
|
|
From the Democratic State Platform.
We arraign and cendemn the Repub-
| lican Legislature for having refused to
| enforce the Constitution by appropriate
legislation ; for having failed to pass
honest and equitable apportionment bills,
| as required by the Constitution ; for
having ignored the demands of labor for
relief by law ; for having denied the
righteous popular demand for such laws
as would distribute the burdens of public
| taxation equally upon all clases of pro-
perty, and for having refused to reform
long-existing abuses wn the mercantile
appraisement laws, as recommended by
| ¢he Democratic Executive in 1885.
We arraign and condemn the Repub-
lican Auditor-General for having per-
mitted John Bardsley, the Republican
Treasurer of Philadelphia city and
county, to embezzle $500,000 of State
tax collected by him, which he was per-
mitted to retain for a long period after
the same was due and payable.
We arrawgn and condemn (he Repub-
lican Auditor-General for having per-
mitted John Bardsley, the Republican
Treasurer of Philadelphia city and
county, to embezzle more than $360,000
of State license moneys collected by him,
which he was permitted to retain for a
long period after the same was due and
payable.
We arraign and condemn the Repub -
lican Auditor-General for having con-
spired with John Bardsley, the Republi-
can Treasurer of Philadelphia city and
county, to appoint and retain corrupt
Mercantile Appraisers, who abused
their offices for their own private pecu-
niary advantage, robbed the State of its
Just revenues, and imposed the Common-
wealth hundreds of thousands of dollars
of needless costs, and we demand the
dismissal of the Mercantile Appraisers
of Philadelphia.
We arraign and condemn the Repub-
lican Auditor-General for having con-
spired with John Bardsley, the Repub-
lican Treasurer of Philadelphia city
and county, to speculate in public adver-
tising and for having received from the
publishers of the same bribes to influ-
ence their official conduct in placing such
advertisements.
We arraign and condemn the Repub-
lican State Treasurer for wilfully and
knowingly permitting Bardsley to retain
in lis possession over $1,000,000 taxes
collected for and owing to the Common-
wealth of Pennsylvania, by reason of
which dereliction a large portion of the
money has been lost to the people.
We arraign and condemn the Repub-
lican State Treasurer for having con-
spired with John Bardsley, the Repub-
lican Treasurer of Philadelpha, to se-
cure to him the payment of $425,000
of the public school fund, long in ad-
vance of the usual time, and when Bard-
sley was already known to the State
Treasurer to be a defaulter for over
$500,000, which sum thus improvident-
ly paid to Bardsley was bh him embez-
zled, to the loss of Philadelphia city
and the shame and scandal of the State.
We arraign and condemn the Repub-
lican State Treasurer and the Republi
can Auditor General for having con-
spired to pay to John Bardsley, the Re-
publican Treasurer of Philadelphia city
and county, on December 30, 1890,
$150,000 out of the State Treasury,
ostensibly on account of Philadelphia
| county’s share of the personal property
tax ; but actually before that tax had
| been paid into the State Treasury, and

CapraIN SAM.—Capt.Sam Williams,
who commanded two different compaa- -
ies in the war,was engaged yesterday in
painting the tow n red ; in other words,
he is putting the war color on Unele
Sam’s mail boxes. Captain Sam enlist-
ed with Captain W. W. Brown, now
dead, Gud rest his soul, and served
through the entire war, without receiy-
ing a scratch, except a slight wound
across the temple. He saw the army of
the Potomac organized and witnessed
its disbandonment, and during all that
time was never absent from it except
from the time his first enlistment expir-
until he re-enlisted in the service.
That story of John Anderson’s about
Captain Williams having a big drum
and cutting a hole in it, into which he
crawled in the face of an engagement
and rolled down hill 1n case of a retreat
is supposed to be a cunningly devised
fable, invented, we guess, because Cap-
tain Sam happened to take a dish of
oysters at some other place. The Cap-
tain and one other fellow are the sole
survivors of fifteen men who enlisted at
the same time. The others restin various
graveyards, awaiting the final reveille
at the last Great Review. Captain Wil-
liams is still a young looking man
which is a blessing vouchsafed him by’
Providence, no doubt, tor duty faithful-

A Bic SmasH-UP.—A wreck which
might have proven to be an awful dis-

Works, on Wednesday evening. Ow-
ing to the Odd Fellow’s celebration the
trains were all quite late, and Day Ex-
press left here but a few moments before
Snow Shoe train was due, By a mis-
understanding of orders she ran on to-
ward Milesburg instead of waiting at
the Round House until the train up had
passed, and just as she was nearing the
curve the two trains ran together. Both
were crowded with passengers and the
engineers seeing it was useless, and that
it would mean instant death if they
stuck to their posts, put on the air
brakes and jumped. The tender of the
express was knocked clear through the
cab and the engine pulling the Snow
Shoe train was badly smashed. Fortu-
nately but one man was seriously hurt,
It was a gentleman named Cooke, from
Milesburg, and he was badly cat about
the head. If the trains had come to-
gether a few seconds later it is probable
that we would have had to record a
long list of fatalities, as the wreck would
then have been on the sharp curve, at
the turn, and neither engineer could
have seen the approach of the other's
train. It was cleared up in a couple of
hours by the wrecking crew from Ty-
rone and trains ran as usual.
——The Williamsport Breakfast Ta-
ble, of Oct. 8rd, has the following com-
plimentary words for Mr. John Hazel,
formerly of this place, who now enjoys
the distinction of being one of the finest
cornet soloists in the county. It says:
“There are few soloists before the
public to-day who enjoy a greater re-
putation for the perfection of talent, and
gift of z enius than John Hazel, the cor-
net soloist,whose perforn.ance at Schauf-
fler’s Grand Concert Garden, in Atlantic
City, during the past season have made
him the eentre of admiration and the
subject of hearty congratulations among
his thousands of friends who visit the
sea shore from all sections of the coun-
try. Aside from an exhibition of those
qualities which make muscians perfect
in perforusoce, he possesses, in an ex-
traordinary aegree, the tact and genius
which will one day place him in the
frent rank of musical managers in this
country. A more devoted student, a
more ardous worker, a more taithful
performer than Mr. Hazel is rarely
found. He is calm of demeanor, retir-
ing and modest at all times, and never
indulges in those affectations which de-
tract so much from the work of al}
great artists.”
A BoLp RosBErRY.—The Tyrone
Herald has the following about the
Hollidaysburg burglary of Sunday
morning : “One of the boldest and
most daring robberies ever committed
in Blair county was perpetrated in Hol- |
lidaysburg about half past two o'clock |
Sunday morning. A party of four!
men forced an entrance into Henry |
Rice’s clothing store and packed forty
overcoats, twenty-nine inesuits and a
large quantity of gents furnishing goods
into the largest trunks in the store and,
by the means of a horse and wagon, suc- |
ceeded 1n getting away with their booty.
Mr. Rice’s loss is about $2,000. A re-
ward of $200 is offered for the capture
of the burglars.”
