THE COLUMBIAN AND DEMOCRAT. BLOOMSBURG, COLUMBIA COUNTY, PA.
The Columbian.
0. H. Elwoll, r ah.-,
BLOOMSBURG, PA.
KMDAY, FKUllUAltY 11, 1887.
Gov. Heaver has signed tho bill
creating two now magistrates in Phila
delphia. It is truo that all tho sheriff's adver
tising appears in tho Columbian, and
that is what stirs up tho enmity of tho
owner of tho Sentinel. Henco his falso
chargo that wo pay a iicrcoiitago to
that ollicial and others for tuier patron
ace.
Tho law specifically forbids tho
sheriff to enter into any such an ar
rangement, and should ho chargo raoro
for tho advertising than no actually
pays tho printor, ho is liable to pay a
penalty to tho injured party, and may
also bo prosecuted for taking illegal
fees. In such a caso tho officer would
bo tho violator of tho law, and not tho
newspaper publisher.
An article in last week's Jlepublican
concerning the false report of the in
troduction of a bill to provido for an
additional judgo in this county, is
somewhat misleading. It makes tho
inference that such a bill was actually
contemplated, but that tho projectors
had been frightened off by the oppo
sition developed. In fact, no such
bill was ever thought of, and all tho
commotion has arisen simply from tho
mistake of a newspaper reporter.
It further gives the impression that
Judgo Elwell is entirely incapacitated
from performing his official duties,
which is not tho caso. Ho attended
to all business of tho court up to No
vember 10, and presided on the first
day of December court, when ho dis
posed of many cases that were sub
mitted to him at the argument court
in November. On January 18, though
unable to como up to the court house
on account of tho weather, all tho oases
ready on the argument list werp sub
mitted to him, and he has disposed of
all but one. Scarcely a day has pass
ed that he has not performed some
official duty.
Up to December court tho entire
time occupied by other Judges in hold
ing court for him would not aggregate
two weeks in the past twenty-four
years, while the time spent by him in
holding courts for other Judges would
aggregate nearly two years. There is
probably no Judge in the stale who
has called for outside help on account
of sickness or other disability, so little
as has Judgo Elwell. His health is
improving, and he hopes to be able to
occupy the bench by May court.
BLOOM POOS TAXES.
In order to get a decision as to the
propor method of collecting taxes in
liloom Poor District, a case stated was
filed, and tho court on Monday de
livered the following opinion :
By the provisions of the second seo
' tioo of the Wilkcsbarre Act, Pamphlet
. Law, 18G0 page 539, extended to the
then township of Bloom by the Act of
18G9, P. L. page both referred
to in the case stated, tho directors of
the poor of Bloom township with the
other townships connected with it, and
their successors were "created a body
politio and corporate, in law to all in
tents and purposes whatsoever relat
ing to the poor of the district, having
perpetual succession, by the name style
and title of the directors of the poor of
Bloom Poor District. This change
from Wilkesbarre township to Bloom
Poor District is warranted by the Act
of 1869 above mentioned.
By the fourth section of the Act tho
directors have power to appoint a
treasurer, a collector, a steward, a
physician, and such other assistants as
they may deem necessary. They have
power to levy taxes for defraying the
expenses of tho purchase of a farm,
erecting buildings and maintaining the
poor, and except so far as is provided
and limited in tho Act, they have all
tho power and duties which, overseers
of tho poor were then required by law
to exercise and perform.
They were thereby authorized to
lay a rate or assessment on property
therein mentioned, and are required to
issue their warrant to the collector, at
tached to a fair duplicate of said tax
authorizing and requiring him to do
mand, receive and colltct, from every
person therein named the sum where
with such person stands charged, in
the manner and by the same process
as poor taxes are now (1809) by law
collectable.
The manner and process of collecting
poor taxes at that time are fully set
forth in the 31st to 36th Sections of
the Act of 15 April 1834, Purd. Dig.
1594. Under that law the collector
must have a warrant from the overseers
of the poor, there must bo demand and
refusal to pay; a warrant from a
justice of tho peace to levy and adl tho
goods of tho delinquent on notice etc.
In the case under consideration the
defendant was appointed by the Di
rector's of tho poor ot the Bloom Dis
trict. Taxes wero duly assessed and
levied against the plaintiff with tho
other tax payers of Bloomsburg, late
tho township of Bloom, Ninety-five
per cent, of tax against the plaintiff
was paid and on his refusal to pay the
balance, tho defendant after procuring
warrant from a jastico of tho peace,
made tho levy on the property, to re
cover damages for which act this suit
is brought.
The plaintiff contends, that having
paid his tax within the timo specified
by tho Act entitled An Act regula
ting tho collection of taxes in the sev
eral boroughs and townships of tlio
commonwealth, passed June 25 1885,
P. L. 187, ho is entitled to a deduction
of livo per cent, from tho amount
charged against him.
Tho question raised by tho caso is
whether that Act applies to tho liloom
Poor District in regard to tho collection
of taxes for tho maintenance of the
poor within that territory.
The titlo of tho Act, and tho pro
Visions of the first section, limit the
hcodo of tho Act to townships and
borouclia acting in tho capacity of
such municipality, so far as tho elect
ion of collector is concerned, Tho
fourth section however might bo held
to extend to all taxes, county, borough,
township, school, poor and taxes levied
by other authority empowered to levy
taxes within tho several boroughs of
tho commonwealth, and therefore to
embrace a corporate poor district, were
it not for tho last section of the Act,
which provides, that, "so much of all
general Acts heretofore passed, as is
incoutlbttiit hcicwith, is hereby re
pealed, but this act tihull not apply to
auy laxcf, tho collection of which is
regulated by a local law," It clearly
appears by I Ilia taction that tho other
authorities mentioned in tho fourth
section aio such as under a general law .
of tho Stato had and still havo power
to lovy and collect taxes.
The language ot tlio latter part ot
this section is too plain to admit of
construction. "This Act (that is, no
part of it) shall apply to any taxes
tho collection of which is regulated by
local law" plain words as to tho mean
ing ot whioh thcro is no room for
doubt. That tho Wilkesbarro and
Bloom law of 1800 and 1869 are local
laws is conceded by counsel for tho
plaintiff, but it Is contended, that bo
eauso tho taxes there lu authorized nro
to bo collected In tho manner and by
tho samo process ni poor laws now
(then) by law collected, that therefore
tho collection of tho taxes is not regu
lated by local law.
In creating this local corporation
with moro extended duties and larger
powers than wero possessed by Over
seers of the Poor under tho" general
laws ol the Commonwealth, tho legis
lature incorporated into tho Act by
general words tho samo authority in ro
spect to tho collection of taxes by tho
collector of their appointment, as was
possessed by a collector appointed by
overseers of tho poor.
The effect of the reference to the
general law was not different from
what it would have been if tho sections
of tho act of 1834 had been incoipor
atcd at length as sections of tho local
act.
I am of opinion that tho words of
tho repealing clause of the Act of 1885,
as well as the truo intcut and meaning
gathered from the whole scope of the
Aot precludes tho idea that corpor
ations like that of tho Bloom district
aro affected by its provisions. Local
plans and systems for support of tho
poor and tho collection of taxes haviug
been adopted in different parts of the
stato tho particulars of which tho legis
lature could notwithout much labor ob
tain information, it was deemed wise to
limit the operation of the law to coun
ties, townships and boroughs where tho
general law on tho subjcot was in
force.
If the draw back authorized by the
act of 1885 for prompt payment ought
to bo allowed, or the penalty for delay
imposed, tho remedy is with tho legis
lature and not with tho Conrt. Where
as in ths case, tho words aro positive
that a law shall not apply to a locality
or subject, tho Courts aru bound to
abide by what is written.
And now Feby. 7 1887, judgment
for tho defendant on tho case stated
with costs. Wat, Elwell.
P.J.
THE LICENSE QUESTION.
On Monday afternoon when licenses
wero before court, Judges Murphy and
McIJenry on tho bench, E. H. Little,
Esq., presented a general remonstrance
against the licensing of auy place in
Columbia county to sell intoxicating
liquors: "Becauso wo believe that
most cf the pauperism, want, and (leg
redation in our land is the result ot the
use of alcoholio liquors ; because of the
testimony of eminent and experienced
judges of courts that four-fifths of the
crimes committed are caused directly
or indirectly by the use of alcoholio
liquors ; and because we have been
encouraged by the action of judges in
other districts, who have listened to
remonstrances and havo refused to
grant licenses." Mr. Little said that
this petition to tho honorable the
judges ot the quarter sessions wf the
peace was signed by two thousand
three hundred ninety seven citizens
three hundred and seventy-threo child
ren between fifteen and twenty-one
years of age, one thousand one hun
dred twenty-seven women and eight
hundred ninety-seven voters; that the
return was from forty-four out of a
hundred and thirty Sunday schools in
the county, and that upon the same
ratio the total of signers would include
about one-half the voteis of the county,
tho total vote for governor having
been less than mx thousand; that sever
al judges in the western counties of the
state had refused to grant any licenses,
and that the supreme court held that
the matter was entirely in the discre
tion of the court of quarter sessions.
In proof, he cited the late decision
called Reed's appeal, in which
tho supreme court say that the intent
of the legislature in their act of 22d
March, 1867, is very clearly expressed
and ought not to bo misunderstood ;
that the court in each county is to
bear petitions for or remonstrances
against an application for licenses, and
is to refuse the license whenever, in
tneir opinion, having due regard to the
number and character of the petition
ers for and agamst such application,
such license not hotel is not neces
sary to tho entertainment of strangers
and travelers. The petition must be
special, uot general, otherwise it may
bo disregarded. The petitioners may
be male or female citizens, not neces
sarily voters.
Although the remonstrance was
general and not filed seven days be-
forn tho first day of the term, Mr.
Little argued that it might be received
and considered, the rule applying only
where the character of the applicant
or the sufficiency of his equipment is
attacked, and the supreme court not
excluding a general petition or remon
strance, but saying that it may be dis
regarded, thus implying that it may
not do.
Geo. E. Elwell, Esq., representing
an applicant, replied, citing the recent
opinion December last, first since
Keeds appeal of Judge Alfred Hand
of Scranton, holding that under Reed's
appeal a remonstrance not filed in tho
particular case according to rule ot court
must bo disregarded ; that th? court
must judgo of tho alleged necensity for
the license solely by the number and
character of the petitioners and remon
strants male or female inquiring by
evidence only of tho characier of the
applicant and the fitness of his houso ;
and that, therefore, tho number of
houses already licensed is not to bo
considered, the responsibility resting
on the people, who determine by their
signatures tho necessity.
John C. Yooum, Esq. , representing
an applicant for an old stand, quoted
(hreo sections of tho court-rules, and
objected that it would bo unfair, in
violation of thoso sections, to requiro
an applicant to meet, without uotico
and unprepared, an attack by way of
general remonstrance.
0. G. Barkley, Esq., representing
the application of Mr. Tubbs for a re
newal of licenso for tho Exchange
hotel in Bloomsburg, called the atten
tion of tho judges to tho faot that,
while, an individual might, if hesawiit,
keep a temperance houso for tho enter
tainment of tho traveliiiB public, yet,
under the law as it now stands, no
stranger or traveler has tho right to
claim a meal or lodging or any enter
tainment except from the landlord of a
licensed house, JIo did not propose to
discuss tho ovils of intemperance, nor
to present to tho court, which would bo
bound to disregard it, his individual
opluion in advance of tho doeisioii of
the people, as to tho proper remedy for
those evihj the question was one now
widely Hgitaling tho public mind.
Meanwhile until the people shall have
changed tho law to harmonlzo with
tho sentiment, as soon as that can bo
ascertained, it is perhaps tho safest and
best plan for tho courts to endeavor
fairly to administer tho law as it is.
Judgo MolJcnry announced that
Judgo Murphy and himself, distrust
ing their competency to decido upon
tho legal effect of a general remon
strance, had consultod Judgo Elwell
at his residence, who had expressed tho
opinion that such a remonstrance was
legally entitled to no weiulit; that there
fore, they Bhould givo it nono s Mr.
Little, thereupon withdrow tho paper,
siuco it would not bo considered by tho
court.
All applications against whioh no
special remonstrances wero filed wero
granted and the rest were postponed, to
be heard on the arrival of a president
judgo ; ono being set for Friday at two
o'clock, and tho others for Tuesday
morning.
WASHINGTON LETTEB
From our Regular Correspondent.
Washington. D. 0., Feb. 7, 1887.
Congress is woi king away these days
as though it realized tho shortness of
its life and tho necessity of accomplish
ing much beforo tho fourth of March.
Various questions htvo been discussed
in both the Senate and House during
tho past week, somo important meas
ures havo been passed, and others havo
become laws by receiving the Presi
dent's signature.
Tho Beck bill as passed makes It un
lawful for atly Senator or Representa
tive to accept employment as attorney.
at-law or payment for services of any
kind in opposition to the United Stales
in any case in which its interests may
be concerned. Any member of either
houso of Congress who violates the
provisions of this act may bo punished
by imprisonment not exceeding S500,
or by both.
Mr. Evarts went so far as to say
that those lawyers in tho Senato who
would voto for such a bill would mako
tho imputation against their profess
ion that lawyers were a class to be
taken out from the rest of tho commu
nity, for fear they might bo drawn
over the lino of their duty. Tho right
of citizens was to bo invaded because
honest employment might lead to
criminality.
The wily Senator wanted to know
if tho apothecary's shop should bo sup
pressed becauso poison was dealt out
from it, and though, in order to be con.
sistent, they should mako a law forbid
ing members of Congress from taking
any fee. As to tho talk about "solv
ing two masters" ho asked whether
Senators weio doing that when, as
lawyers, they served the dignity and
advantage of the law and the protec
tion of the community, and when, as
Senators, they did their duty under
their obligations.
A11J of Mr. Evarts logic was lost
upon the Senato however, and refused
by a vote of nearly three to one.
The 1 resident s approval of the Inter
State Commerce was in full accord
with the opinion of Attorney General
Garland, and with the views of the en
tire Cabinet. Tho next question is,
who get to serve their country as com
missioners under the now law and
against railroad corporations. Among
two or three scores of candidates, Coh
Morrison is oftenest mentioned as one
of the number which will bo appointed.
He is quoted as saying lately that it is
ttio only position under the Govern
ment which ho desires.
Representative Reagan, who will
come to tho United States Senate next
year as the successor of Mr. Maxy, of
Texas, has long been indentified with
the Inter-State Commeice bill. Ho has
contended for this legislation for many
years, aud his election may bo accept
ed as an indorsement of his course.
Judge Reagan, as tho Senator elect is
called, is a man of indefatigable indus
try, an assiduous representative of the
interests of his constituents, and is suro
to make a good record in the Smato.
Ho is well known in Washington, hav
ing served four years in Congress be
fore the war, and nearly twelve years
Bince tho war. During tho war ho was
Postmaster-General of the Southern
Confederacy.
Tho question of temperance has been
creditably solved for herself by the
mistress of the White House. When
the Diplomatic Corps sat down to the
President's dinner of state a few ove
uings ago, eight wine-glasses stood at
every plate but that ot Mrs. Cleveland ;
she took only water. This was not a
criticism of thef taste of her guests, but
only au assertion ol her own preference.
It defined her personal status, and it
discharged her official duly.
It was a line reply that Ex Lieut.
Gov. Brockraeier of Missouri rtade,
when asked why ho did not call on
President Cleveland. Said he, "I don't
think there is a busier man in tho
country than the President, and as he
has iittlo enough timo of his own, I
don't think I havo a right to infringe
on it. I have no personal acquaintance
with him. and of courso he can havo
no desire to see me. My Congressman
proposed to take mo to call on him,
bui 1 didn't caro to tako up half an
hour of his time in the day that would
have to bo atoned for at night." If
moro of the prominent men who visit
Washington so fully realized the value
of tho President's time, it would bo
gratefully appreciated by him.
