For Auditor General, J. WOOD CLARK, of Indiana. Democratic County Ticket, For Jury Commissioner, J. ADAM HAZEL, of Spricg Township. Packing the Court. The decision of the Supreme court al- lowing an appeal from the judgment of the Baperior cours in the case of the convicted oapitol grafters, wax not, according to cur- rent goesip among lawyers and others in- gerested jin such questions, a unanimous opinion. Three of the seven justices of the cours dissented, the rumor is,and the proba- bilities are that the judges were ‘‘eleo- tioneered”” freely in the interest of the gralsers. The motion for a new trial was argoed with great earnestness and ability by connsel before the trial cours and the judge was coustrained Ly oonecience and official obligations, to deny it. The ques- sion was considered with equal care by the Saperior court on an appeal and the judges of that tribunal unavimously refused to order a new trial. Bas by a vote of four to Shree the Supreme cours, of which the late Senator QUAY once spoke in most con- temptuousfterme, bas reversed the Superior oourt and, which is moss unusual, allowed an appeal. The justices of she Supreme cours, ao- cording to she rumors, were divided on ourions lines. It is eaid that chiel justice MITCHELL, of Philadeiphis, and justices FELL, of that oity,and BRowN, of Lancaster, aod ELKIN, of Indiana county, voted for avd justices STEWART, of Franklin, MuSTREZAT, of Fayette, and PORTER, of Pistsburg, against the motion. Justice BROWN is the gentleman whom Quay intimated bad been catapulted into his seat op the henchland ELKIN was chosen in a political exigenoy which required thas be be placated by a “‘consolation prize’’ of some sort, He bad been defeated for the nomination for Governor by methods which -oue of his friends subsequently stated bad “mysterionsly changed a majority into a minority over night,’ aud threatened re- prisals, Of ohief justice MITOHELL and justice FELL it ia only necessary to say they are Philadelphians. In other words jarists traived in the atmosphere of thas oity are influenced more by political ne oes«ities than by law and justice. It in worth while to remember that un. der no circumstances can the review of the $rial of the convicted grafiers by the Sa. preme court be bad until after the justice to be choren at the next election is in. ducted into office. On the first Monday of January, 1910, unless there is providential intervention, either C. LARUE MUNSON or RoBERT VON MOSCHZISKER will take a seat on the benoh of she Supreme cours. If Mr. VOX MOSCHZISKER i» #0 honored hy the people of Pennsylvania the action of she court upon the motion for a new rial of former Auditor General WiLrtiam P. fxyYpeEr and former Superintendent of Pablio Grounds and Baildings Scau- MAKER, is practically certain to be lavoiable $0 them. The court will be four to three then as it was the other day, aud STEWART, MrsTREZAT and PORTER will again he the minority. The election of VoN MoscH- ZISKER, therefore, means that the capitol grafters will go free and that there will mever he panishmens or re<titution in thas oelehrated case. a —— There can be no work on farm or elsewhere 0 Nov. 2nd as important as going to the polis and voting to kill the 7th Amendment, and against the candi- dates of the gang who would deny you the right to choose your own election of- ficers. Senator Sisson's Pride. Daring a recent visit to Towanda, A. E. 81880N, Republiosn candidate for Auditor General, deciared that he is proud of his vote for the QUAY monument. He is probably equally proud of his vote for the other infamous legislation enacted daring his service in the Senate which has made membership in the General Assembly of Pennsylvania a just subject of reproach. The unconstitutional “rippers,” the atro- oious measures for the promotion of vice in the cities, the corporation legislation which made the people slaves of railroads, water companies and similar combinations and the various *‘pinch’’ and ‘‘grab” bills like the Presqueisle steal are quite as worthy of pride as the QUAY monument bill, Mr. S1ss0N’Ss colleague on the ticket, J. - A. STOBER, is tainted with the same legis- lative vices as S18S0N himself and is prob- ably equally proud of his record in the Senate. He voted for every machine meas- ure that was introduced du:ing the eight years of his service and against every re form bill which the machine opposed. He was not asked 0 express his pride of his “vote for the QUAY monument, at Towanda, ‘bat it be had heen be would, no doubs, baye given the answer which SissoN re- tarped. He, 800, voted for the bill to pro. teot the dealers in “white slaves’ in Phils- delphia, to *‘rip’’ up the government of Pittsburg acd deprive the people of Phila- deiphis of a voice in selecting their public officials, Bat the honest people of Pennsylvania ste not proud of these votes, The apeota- ole of honoring a man who would have been sent to the penitentiary if he hadn’s plead- ‘ed the statute of limitation is not a subject of pride to men who revere integrity aod believe in the honest administration of public affairs. For that reason Mr. Sis- 80N's pride in his vote for the QUAY statue ie not likely to commend him to the favor of the average citizen of Peansylvhaia. It will not be accepted by the honest yeoman- ry of the State as a reason for promoting him to an office of great importance and dignity. On the contrary it ought to en- list all fair-minded men in ao irrepressible confliot againes his election and that of his solleague on the Republican ticket. — You don’t want a Judge on the Su- preme court bench who is the oreature of the gang that has debauched and dis- graced Philadelphia for so long a time. Unless you turn out and vote for MUN- SON, a man of that kind will be elected. ADDITIONAL LOCALS. GArBRICK.—Henry J.

A Pilea for the Salvation Army. In every community there are men, wome en and children who cannot be reached by the churches. They do not come to the serve ices; often have mot proper clothing and usually little desire after better things. Often there is drink that keeps them poor and discouraged; most often it is the main cause of the trouble. But to leave them as they are is to foster a condition of things that threatens the com- munity; for out of these homes come the ig- noraat and vicicus who grow up to fill jails and refuges. Now comes the Salvation Army, a society formed for the very purpose of getting hold of this class, and by Christlike methods drawing them to good und wholesome ways. Even those who do not sympathize with all of these methods must admit that good has been done; and there are homes that could witness it. It is self denying work; no mon- ey or ease for the workers, and little encour agement from those whom they benefit. Work like this cannot be carried on with. out money. What good thing can be? To pay rent for & dwelling and ball costs money and the wos ers ust live. Onur community is not giving them support; very little money is supplied and the present worker, who seems to be a faithful, conscientious man, is breaking down under the burden of debt and discouragement ; seeing the lack of response * | and sympathy from the people, he will cer tainly lose heart and give up. It is for our people to say whether this shall be allowed. If 90, are we ready to take np the work they have been doing for us? A Looker ON. Spring mills A few of our farmers are husking corn.
