It Looks Like a New Coun Six years ago, last April, when a little crowd of persons about this town began agitating the question of changing and im- proving the court house, the WATCHMAN warned the tax-payers that the movement was intended not for the purpose of secur- ing some needed repairs, ata reasonable cost to the county, but that it would eventually blossom out into a scheme to So enlarge, change and modify the present building that it would virtually mean the erection of a new court house. At hoth elections since, at which county commissioners were to he chosen, pointed out the danger to the tax-payers of voting for men, for this office, who would be under the influence of the Republican leaders about town, for the reason that these leaders were at the movement for a new building. Heedless of our warning those who were most interested hurried to the polls last rt House. fall and elected a board of Republican com- | missioners. They are now face to face with the very question we warned them time and again they would have to meet, if such a result was permitted, and they are face to face with it ina way that looks very much as if the only interest they will have in the matter will he as to how to raise the money to pay the increased taxes that a new court house is certain to cost. It is but nine months since the Republi- cans secured control of the commissioner's office, and already the plans are out to saddle upon the county an indebtedness, that may run anywhere from $30,000 to $130,000, for repairs to the court house. The work is to he done as repairs, but the repairs proposed contemplate a new and expensive building, erected in front of the present one, and, which when com- pleted, will leave the old one, a surplus- age, sitting in its rear, and the tax-payers adebt, according to the architect's estimate, | of $30,000. An estimate that will be doub- led and probably quadrupled before the contemplated improvements are complet- ed. If there was any need for the change that is now being considered, or any ex- cuse for the debt which it is sure to fasten upon the county, the WaTcHMAN would be the last to complain. But there is neith- er need at this time, for a new building, nor can there be any excuse for the ex- pense that will attach to it. The present court house is ample for all purposes. For the past ten years the business of the courts in the county has been annually growing less. The offices within it are just as good to-day, and better than they were twenty Years ago. The vaults are solid and secure and none of them are crowded. The people have just got done paying an outrageously extravagant bill for new fixtures and for the indexing and re-fitting of official pa- pers. Why an effort should be made now to tear this all up ; to pull down and build anew, unless it is to give a lot of jobs to a few hungry job hunters, we do not know 2 Because a new roof may be needed, and a few windows in the lower offices would be better if enlarged, is no reason why a new building should be erected, and a debt of a hundred thousand dollars fastened upon the people. An Equal Duty. The Democrats in New York State, who separated themselves from the party last year on account of their preference for the gold standard, assuming the name of ‘‘'sound money Democrats,’ have adopted a course this year which, on account of its Practical good sense, should he imitated hy the same class of Democrats in this State. They have not onl y abstained from nomi- nating a state ticket, in which respect their action is similar to their Pennsylvania brethren, but they have gone a step further in a true Democratic cause by endorsing judge PARKER, the regular Democratic nominee for judge of the court of appeals, who is an avowed free silver supporter and voted for Mr. BRYAN last year. In taking this course the New York gold Democrats allowed themselves to be gov- erned by a motive that should operate with equal force upon the “JEFFERSON- TANS" in this State. Laying aside all na- tional questions they conceive it to be their first duty as Democrats to array them- selves against the cor rupt political ma- chine by which boss Pritt dominates the politics of the State. This isa duty that involves issues which are only of a local character and with which the monetary question has nothing to do, and it isa duty that can be more effectually performed in company with those Democrats who be- long to the regular party organization. The gold Democrats of Pennsylvania have a similar duty to perform. The mis- rule of the Republican machine in this | State is far worse than that of New York. When all classes of citizens who have re- gard for the welfare and reputation of the bottom of the | ! prostituted in the corrupt servic. of ma- Henry George Nominated. Was Selected for Mayor of Greater New York the United Democracy. NEW YORK, Sept. 27.—The most im- | portant development in the Greater New | issue that exclusively effects the interests of { York political situation to-day was the | unanimous nomination of Henry George for mayor by the United Democrac , com- posed of numerous free silver and Bryan clubs, which were active in the cam- paign of last fall. Mr. George once polled 8,000 votes as a labor candidate for mayor | of New York. His strength, if he should | chine politicians and rapacious corporations | accept would be drawn principally from , and the treasury is robbed for the enrich- - ment of Republican ringsters. —— What the People Should Know. { The people of the State have a right to | know the condition of the state treasury. It is due them that they should he made acquainted with the manner in which the department so closely connected with the interest of the tax-payers is managed. When there is difficulty in getting a full | statement of the receipts and expenditures | there is a reasonable suspicion of unfaith- ful service. When there is a refusal to give a complete explanation of the deposits of the state funds in preferred banks, the securities therefore, the bondsmen thereon, as required hy statute, and other infor- mation touching the relations between the treasury department and such favored i banks, there is ground to suspect that the | arrangement is to the disadvantage of tke people. In fact the circumstances are we sufficient to carry the conviction that the | drawal of their candidate. | public money is being used for private profit, and for the promotion of political | ends, and that the tax-payers are being | swindled. The cover should be taken oft the State ! treasury management and the people al- | lowed to see the inside interests that are being served in preference to the public interest. Such an uncovering has been | persistently opposed. The attempt to take | the lid off last winter only resulted in a | coat of white wash. The secrets of the | treasury, involving the misuse of the state funds, will never be exposed as long as the | treasury continues to be an annex of the | Republican machine and the source of private and political plunder. The parties who manage it are interested in keeping it | under cover as much as possible, and those parties are the machine managers of the | Republican organization in the State. | The disclosures which the people want, i and which they have a right to have, will | never be made as long as those parties have control of the treasury. There is no | other way of lifting the cover than by the | election of a Democratic state treasurer and | auditor general. — | IA Up. ed and Badly Injured.—None of the Passengers Injured. A frightful fatality occurred near George- town, just on this side of Harrisburg on the P. and E. railroad on Monday morn- ing by which engineer G. P. Mitchell, was killed, and fireman John Crawley was jured. risburg at its usual time with thirty pas- sengers in the coaches. When the train was moving along rapidly, about two miles below Georgetown, there was a terrific ex- plosion in the locomotive, which caused the crown sheet of the engine to fly in all | directions. The locomotive was complete- | ly overturned. Several of the coaches left the track, and the passengers were badly shaken up, but fortunately none were in- i jured. The engineer and fireman, however, did not escape so easily. Engineer Mitchell was blown fully thirty feet up against the rocks on the side of the mountain. When found he was dead, and from the broken bones in his body he must have been in- stantly killed. Fireman Crawley was blown several feet in the opposite direction on the river side. He was severely scalded by the escaping steam, and was otherwise badly injured. He was taken to the hos- pital at Sunbury. His home is at Har- risburg. As soon as the explosion occurred the baggage master of the wrecked train ran ahead and flagged a freight train that was moving towards the passenger train, and | thus prevented another catastrophe. { As soon as possible the news of the ex- plosion was sent to the officials. Wrecking crews were sent to the scene who soon re- paired the track, which had heen displaced for a distance of of 200 feet. AR | Engineer Mitchell Hurled Thirty Feet Against the seriously injured, and perhaps fatally in- | in The passenger train had left Har- | mittee of Philadelphia against the secreta- | the Democratic vote. The United { Democracy also adopted a resolution con- | demning “‘the action of the state committee in refusing to reaffirm the Chieago plat- ! form and in nominating as candidate for chief judge of the court of appeal, Alton B. Parker, whose party fealty is so doubt- ful that he is popularly believed to have voted against the Byran and Sewall elec. toral ticket last year.’ The convention nominated John G. Boyd for comptroller and Winfield Ss. [ Overton for president of the municipal council. Richard Croker was quoted to- day as saying that Henry George was ‘“‘a good man, a fine man,” ‘and Mr. George is said to have expressed the hope that Tam- many would indorse the Chicago platform. A belief is current that Mr. George will not accept to-night’s nomination if Tam- | many indorses the Chicago platform. On the other hand, the old time Democratic leaders prefer to ignore the silver question altogether. So the Democrats are as much worried over Henry George as the Repub- ! licans are over Seth Low.

Arguments on the proceeding which was stituted by the Democratic city commit- ry of the Commonwealth to compel him to place in the Democratic column on the official ballot the names of the candidates for judges in that city, who were first nom- inated by the Republicans and subsequent- ly by the Democrats, was begun at noon. | 1y 8 Secretary Martin had declined to certify the Democratic nomination, because of a provison in the amended ballot Jaw of 1897, which provides that the name of any candidate shall appear only once on the ballot. Attorney General McCormick appeared for the secretary of the Common wealth, and the Democratic city committee was repre- sented bp John C. Johnson and M. J. Ryan, of Philadelphia, and former Deputy Attor- ney General Stranahan, of this city. The latter prepared the Papers for the petitioners and contended that the provison of the new law is constitutional. Mr. Stranahan declared that the pro- vision is clearly in violation of the con- stitution. He said further that if a law | can be passed permitting the name of a person to be placed on the ballot of one organization and denying the name of the same person to be placed on the ballot of another organization it lacks uniformity and shows discrimination in favor of one and against another.
