Tho United Statos has a lawyer to
ovory 909 of iu population. "It ia
ploasant to think," Bays tho Boston
IS-anscript, "that theso legal gentlemen
nro not likoly to bo bought up by an
English Byndioato. Therefore, whon
909 of our pooplo get together thoy
will still have tho satisfaction of know
ins that their quota of lawyer is in the
midst of them, and busy ai usual.''
Suit has been brought against the
Pennsylvania Railroad company by a
citizen of Pittsburg for $30,000 dam
age for loss of his wifo and throe
children, by the destruction of tho pas
songcr train at Johnstown. It is claim
ed that tho company was negligent in
allowing the train to romain at Con
maugh for two hours, knowing that
it was in danger of destruction if the
South Fork dam gavo way, no attempt
being made to run it to place a of safety-
Judge Albright has handed down an
important decision regarding peddling
and hawking. Last Juno John K
Haines, a detectivo of E iston, arrested
at the instigation of the Lehigh County
Mercantile Association 11. Eicherberg,
the auoni of a toa company doing bus
iness in Reading, for the recovery of a appratso
penally 01 ou, imuoieu iur mu viuiai
ion of tho Act of April 10, 18GS, which
says that no person shall sell or expose
for sale as a hawker, peddler or travel
ing merchant any foreign or domostio
goods without havoing first obtained a
iiconso upon payment of S100. Tho
defendaut, it was alleged, travelod
through tho country and took ordors
for tea, coffee and other goods and
sometimes sold goods from his wagou.
Alderman Sopp, boforo whom tho act
ion was brought, decided in favor of
the plaintiff. Eichenberg contended
that tho act of May, 1889, repealed tho
act of 1810, which permits tho sale of
goods manufactured by tho seller and
mado application to appeal from the
alderman s decision. Judge Algright
refused to allow the anpeal, and sus
tained tho decision of tbo altlorman.
contending that a hawker, peddler and
traveling merchant are synonymous as
distinguished frotn thoso doing bus
iness at an established place. Tho
caso will be appealed to tho Supreme
Court Much lutorcst has been mani
fested among tho merchants in tho out
come of the suit. Another suit for
selling goods on orders is ponding
against Eicherberg, and a test caso
will bo made of it.
The Lancaster iVeio lira has tnado
tho following careful synopsis of tho
now dog law. It covers tho Stato :
Tho law'provides that from and after
lis passago tlieio shall bo assessed,
levied and collected annually in every
township nnd borough of tho Common
wealth from tho owners of dogs a tax
of fifty cents on overy malo dog, nnd
ono dollar for overy femalo dog, tho
sum to bo collected with tho other
township taxes. These sums shall bo
paid to tho Treasurer of tho board of
scnooi mrcciura in mu uiiiviuiii uin-
tricts, anil
th(i treasurer,
how much
from this source. This money shall
constitute a fund from winch persons
sustaining loss or datnago to sheep by
dogs may bo paid for such loss, along
with tho costs necessarily incurred in
establishing thoir loss. The assessors
of overy borough and township Bhall
annually, whon making thoir other as
sessments, ascertain tho number of
dogs in their re.peotivo districts ntid
tho names of tho owners, and how
many of each sex are owned or kept.
The county commissioners shall annu
ally make a return to the board of
school directors of tho number of dogs
owned therein, together with tho
owner's names, and tho school directors
shall cause tho lax to be collected in
tho same manner as and along with
the school tax. Persons who havo sus
tained loss or damago to sheep may
mako complaint beforo any justico of
the peace, and tho latter shall notify
tho owner of tho dog or dogs causing
tho loss, and if tho owner does not ap
pear "as soon as practicable'' and pay
the loss oaused by his dogs, tho justice
shall notify the township auditors to
tho loss sustained by tho
President Uarfield's Phyloian.

ItARRtSOK ACCE1T8 THE TENSION COSI
JIISSIONEIl's ItESIGNATION.
Pension Commissioner Tanner's
resignation, which was sent to tho
President last week was formally ac
cepted uext morning.
President Harrison was called up
on to chooso between a Cabi net oflico
and tho Commissioner of Pensions.
Sorious embarrassments con fronted hi m
in either way ho might turn. From
first to last tho Tanner affair has been
a sourco of perplexity to tho President.
It was hoped that tho nowspapor criti
cism would soon blow iUelf out and
that tho whole matter could bo adjust
ed without having any sensation or
pnblio eoandal to it,
Tho publio criticism, instead of sub
siding, continued to increase. At last
it became evideut to President Harri
son, on his return from Deor Park a
short time ago, that tho matter was
ripo for action and that a further post-
Eonomcnt could no longer bo tolerated
y tho pnblio in geucral.
The caso was stated clearly and con
cisely to the President by Secretary
Noble. Tho President was given to
understand that unless Tanner was dis
missed tho Secretary of tho Interior
would tender his resignation. It was
thus that tho matter was forcod upon
President Harrison and ho wa9 obliged
to tako action.
The following. is Commissioner Tan
ner'd letter of resignation and Presi
dent Harrison's reply thoro to:
Dei'aktment of the Interior,
Bureau ok Pensions.
Washington, Septomber 12.
To the President : The differences

amount of tho approved claim with
the secretary of tho board, including
tho necessary costs incurred, to bo

on dogs. If the owner of tho dogs
doing tho danngo is responsible, then
tho treasurer of tho board shall im
mediately oMlect the damages and
costs from him, aad place tho proceeds
in tho sheep fund. If it shall bo found
at tho closo of tho current year that
tho dog tax is not suluVient to pay for
all losses incurred under tho law, then
the sohool board bhall pay a pro-rata

funds are sufficient, then tho claims
shall bo paid in full. All dogs in tho
State aro mado personal property and
subject to larceny. Justices shall be al

was impossible to hold him any Linger,
tho President has at lat made up his
mind to tho nocessity of unloading,
and Tanner has accordingly "resigned."
Tanner has boen thus far one con
spicuous featuro of tho Harrison ad
ministration, and his career has em
bodied tho worst official scandal of
manv years. Tho man himself is less
to blama than those who havo sustain
ed and enuouiasjed bini. His charac
ter as an irresponsible blathirskile, his
utter unfitness, intellectual and moral,
for any position of trust, wero as wll
known before his appointment as after
it. His selection for tho important
place of Commissioner cl Tensions
was mado with tho definite purpose of
pleasine an influential class of voters
and in accordance with Air. Harrison's
own proclaimed policy of being "liber
al with tho boys. Ho took the Presi

carry out this policy with such extra

Btago wlnou turoaionu to emuarrcvss yuu tiat tij0 iresident could bring hunselt
to an extent which I feel I should not t0 mak0 a definite stand aaiuiit Tan

that tho chango in the ollice involves

but is mado solely "in the interest of
au harmonious administration," and
oall uuon vou to suffer : and, as tho in

assured, both by yoursolf and by
tho Secretary of tho Interior, contains
no redaction on my intogrity as an in

place my resignation in your hands, to
tako offect at your pleasure, to tho end
that you may bo relieved 01 any lurtn
or ombarrasmont in tho matter.
Very rospcctfully, yours,
Jaiiks Tannkii.
Tho President's letter accepting the
resignation is aa follows :
Executive Mansion,
Wasiiinoton, D. C. Septomber 12.
Hon. James Tanner, Commissioner
of Pensions.
Deak Sm : Your letter tondoring
your resignation of tho oflico of Com
missioner of Pensions has been roooiv
od and your resignation is accopted to
tako offect on the appointment and
qualification of your stiucessor. I do
not think it necessary iu this corres
pondence to discuss tho causes which
led to tho present attitude of af
fairs In tho Pension office. You havo
tbo extraordinary explanation is furth
er offered that thnro would havo beou
uo objection to Tanner if ho had only
kept his mouth shut as if there would
havu been no harm in his pension grabs
if thoy had not been found out.
All this consideration is no more
than Tanner is fairly untitled to under
the circumstances. It would bo very
unjust to mako hira a seapogoU when
ho was only carrying out tho promises
madj beforo election. Hut if theso
promises aro still to bj maintained, tho
dismissal of Tanner will accomplish
little, oxoept in getting a Pension Com
tutssioner who will more artfully con
coal his profligacy.
That will not satisfy tho country
very long. Tho general puliliu pro
test that lias forcod this ra'au out of
ufiiuo was not directed against Tanner,
but aga'uibt Tannerism. Tuo fellow's

Will the FERTILIZER you intend
purchasing so net upon the soil that
it produce BIG CROPS, and at
the 'same time maintain and buildup
the fertility.
To put price perton ahead of quality
and producing power is poor economy.
Farming profits arc too small to ad
mit of any but judicious purchases.
Alter quality, and in proportion to
it, comes price. You shall find our
Bone Fertilizers, for the work done, always as low in price as the lowest.
If yon are going to ignore quality and results, do not i:y our Fertilizes.
