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 |

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.

A frightful fatality occurred near George-

killed, and fireman John Crawley was

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.

The convention nominated John G.

Ballot Law Illegal.
the Certifying of Nominations.
| HARRISBURG, Sept. 29.—Judge McPher-
son to-day granted a peremptory mandamus,
requiring Secretary of the Commonwealth
Dave Martin to certify the Democratic nom-
inations.
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.

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. He said it would

death, on Monday morning. He was ap-
| plying a creosote stain to the new roof on
| the Nittany country club house, at Hecla,
| when the ladder on which he was working
broke loose and he slipped to the ground,
forty feet below.
Cramer had had the ladder fastened over
the comb of the roof with a short cleat
and when he went to work he noticed
that it was not secure, but thought it
would hold him. He had just reachel
the lower end when the cleat broke and
the ladder slipped off the roof. He fell
into a cherry tree at the back of the house
and broke a large limb from it, thus break-
ing his fall considerably. As it was he
was badly stoved up in the back.
Harry Badger was working at the spout-
ing immediately under the point where he
fell off and the ladder and man only missed
hitting him by two feet.
