UABRISBUEG LETTER.
Chairman Creasy has Favorable Reports from
the Stale-Pennypacker Before and
After Taking Official Position.
State Chairman Creasy has taken
considerable trouble since the Krie
convention to ascertain the senti
ment in every portion of the state as
to the political situation at the out
set of the campaign. He is more
than pleased at the outlook. He
finds, through the medium of the
press as well as by personal corres
pondence, that the Democratic nom
inations are eminently satisfactory,
not only to the party, but to the
large number of Republicans who
have been forced to the conclusion
that the only way to rebuke ma
chine rule successfully is to defeat
its candidates at the polls, and teach
the bosses that the people have
some rights that must be respected.
The Democratic press is unani
mous in hearty support of our ticket
while the independent press not on
ly of the state but of the nation is
unanimous in declaring that the
plain duty of Pennsylvania Repub
licans who place their citizenship
above partisanship is to vote for
Pattison, Guthrie and Nolan. Hun
'dreds of Republicans who have
heretofore refused to assert them
selves now declare that it is high
time for a repetition of the Beaver
overthrow in 1SS2 and the Delama
ter disaster of 1S90; and that Quay
ism, never so odious as it is at the
present time, shall now receive the
death blow that should have been
administered long ago. Develop
ments may be looked for during the
campaign that will strike dismay to
the Old Boss who proposes to head
his own vicious machine in name as
he always has in reality.
PARTY ABOVE CANDIDATES.
It makes but little difference to
the honest, intelligent voter who is
his candidate for Governor, if he
be an honest, able man upheld by
those whose only desire is to have
an honest administration of public
afiairs. Almost any man could
make- a creditable Governor if he
was rightly advised and faithfully
supported. While Democrats had
their personal choice, of course,
they realized that the candidate is
of little importance compared with
the party and policy that are likely
to control his administration. Dem
ocrats felt that any of their candi
dates could be -safely entrusted with
the reins of government because
they were all able, honest men;
and what is better still the nominee,
whoever he might be, if elected,
would have at his back all the re
form forces of the state to aid him
in his fight against corrupt machine
t ule.
The only hope of the machine
lay in the effort to deceive the peo
ple by putting forward Pennypack
er and declaring vociferously that
he is an honest man. Since he is a
candidate for a high position nomi
nated admitedly by corrupt means,
his honesty may rightly be called
into ftttestion and it must be judged
just like any other man's.by his acts.
Tt will not do to assume that he is
hnnest simnlv because he is a judge
on the bench, especially if there are
several thinss that go to discredit
his political motives. A few years
aero he was one of the most outspok
en opponetits of Quay and Quayism
in the state. Which has changed
E. 13. TUSTIN Vice Tres.
E. F. CARPENTER, Cashier
since that time, Quay or Penny
packer ? It has never been ques
tioned that he was sincere in de
claring in 1SS2 that Quay and his
candidate, Gen. Beaver, should be
defeated for the good of the state,
and yet Quayism is notoriously
worse than it was in 18S2. Quay
had not then been obliged to plead
the statute of limitations to save
himself from the penitentiary nor
had all the independent papers of
the country as well as many Re
publican papers outside the slate
denounced Quayism as a disgrace
to the commonwealth.
WHAT CONVERTED PENNYPACKER ?
If Pennypacker believed Quay
and his system so dangerous to the
welfare of the state twenty years
ago as to lead him to advocate their
defeat, why should he to-day believe
that the same old veteran in politi
cal crime is worthy of a high tribute
from his pen, even declaring that
"Quay is a great statesman who
fails in no duty and whose real
greatness approaches genius?" Was
Pennypacker's change of heart
brought about because he believes
what nobody else does, that Quay is
better to-day than he was twenty
years ago? If so, his judgment is
too faulty to trust him in the Gov
ernor's chair. Was his conversion
due to the fact that he was made a
judge at the instigation of Quay?
If so, he is not honest and is not
entitled to the support of honest
men.
If Pennsylvania, as Pennypack
er says, has no evils worthy of men
tion then he would in case he were
elected Governor not consider rip
per bills, franchise grabs and cor
rupt legislation generally as worthy
of interference on his part. The
feeling is general that Pennypacker
is a trimmer who changed from be
ing an outspoken opponent of Quay
to becoming his most servile panegy
rist simply for his personal Denefit.!
The feeling is also general that Gov.
Pattison is a safe man to trust in
the Governor's chair; that he can
neither be bribed, bullied nor coax
ed into the support of corrupt meas
ures. Besides he has at his back
all the elements that make for re
form while Pennypacker stands for
all that has made Pennsylvania a
reproach among the states of the
union.
ANDREW J. PALM.
MONTHLY OOUET.
Several Important Opinions Filed.
July 7th being the first Monday of
the month, court convened at 10:30
o'clock, with his Honor Judge R. R.
Little, and Associate Judges Fox and
Kurtz on the bench.
In the matter of the Countv bridge
over the Susquehanna river at Mifflin
ville. Report of viewers and report ot
Grand Jury confirmed obsolute.
OPINION OF THE COURT.
In re bridge over "I In the court of
Susquehanna river I Quarter Sessions
at tne village ol Columbia county
Mifflinville. I No. 6. Dec. Sess.
J 1900.
Both the viewers and re-viewers re
port in favor of the proposed bridge.
Exceptions were filed to the confirma
tion of the report of the reviewers,
and the same upon hearing were dis
missed.
The report of the viewers was sub
milted to the consideration of the
Grand Jury, and upon consideration
of the same by them the bridge re
ported was adjudged to be necessary,
and the cost of the erection of the
same was found to be too burden
some for the adjoining townships to
bear, and the report of the viewers
was by them approved. This report
of the viewers is now before the
Court for final confirmation.
In disposing of the exceptions to
the report of reviewers we took occa
sion to remark that information
should be furnished us by the Countv
Commissioners concerning the ability
and the powers of the county to incur
the probable additional amount of
indebtedness necessary for the con
struction of this proposed public im
provement before being called upon
to approve of the report.
We are satisfied from the informa
tion furnished us that it is not neces
sary to obtain the consent of the
voters and tax-payers by an election
belore incurring an additional amount
of county indebtedness necessary to
meet the expense for construction of
this bridge.
The bridge, when constructed will
be a necessary public improvement.
It will be more appreciated if it be
built so commodious, strong and sub
stantial, that the people can pass over
it tapidly with their horses and bur
dens. In view of the legislation, giving to
street railway companies the right of
occupancy of the bridges, in certain
instances, it would seem to be a
reasonable precaution that the piers
for this bridge should be built suffi
ciently long and of such degree of
strength and durability so as to ac
commodate not only a wide super
structure for the bridge, but also for
any other use now authorized by law.
Now, July 7th, 1902, it is adjudged
and appears that the bridge mentioned
in the report of viewers is necessary,
and the building of the same would
be too expensive for the adjoining
townships to bear, and it is ordered
that the report of the viewers be con
firmed absolute, and the report of the
Grand Jury be approved, and further,
the preceeding and bridge, upon the
approval of the same by the County
Commissioners, be, and is hereby di
rected, to be entered on record as a
county bridge. By The Court.
SUGGESTIONS FROM THE COURT.
Suggested form of resolutions, to
be passed by County Commissioners,
if that body approve of the bridge
pioceedings.
See R. R. Comoany vs. Lawrence
County, 198 P. S. R., 1.
The following action was taken by
the County Commissioners at their
meeting held on the 7th day of July,
1902:
Upon motion, duly made and
seconded, it was
Kesohtui, That the proceedings for
a county bridge over the Susquehanna
river, at the village of Mifflinville, as
of No. C. Dec. Sess.. 1900, in the
Court of Quarter Sessions of Columbia
County, and which was approved and
confirmed by the order of the court,
made July 7th, 1902, be also approved
by the County Commissioners; and
we also further find, and it so appears
that the said proposed bridge is
a necessity and would be too expen
sive for the adjoining townships to
bear. Further, that a certified copy
of this resolution be made, filed jn
the Lourt ot Quarter Sessions, and
entered at length upon the record in
the said proceeding.
I he foregoing resolution, as sug
gested by the court, was passed
favorably by the board of County Com
missioners at their meeting Monday.

In the court of Quarter Sessions of
Columbia county, No. 5, May session,
1894.
Supplemental report of reviewers
confirmed nisi, Dec. 9th, 1901.
May 6, 1901, exceptions filed by
Supervisors of Catawissa township.
Feb. 3, 1 901, exceptions of Super
visors of Catawissa township.
Feb. 3, 1902, exceptions filed by
citizens of Main township.
Upon the argument of the except
ions filed to the confirmation of the
supplemental report of the reviewers,
the exceptions filed upon behalf of the
Supervisors of Catawissa township,
both those originally filed on May 6,
1901, and those filed Dec. 14, 1901,
were withdrawn; and the exceptions
filed on behalf of the citizens of Main
township, are the only exceptions to
be considered.
The court will take judicial notice
that Catawissa and Main townships
are within the county of Columbia
and the jurisdiction of the court.
The language used by the Judge
delivering the opinion of the Superior
Court in this case "and the terminus
so clearly specified in the draft at
tached thereto that the Supervisors
will have no difficulty whatever in lo
cating the road in accordance with
the return," would seem to be suffi
cient answer to paragraphs "C," "D'
and "E" of the exceptions. .
Whatever there may be of merit in
the remaining exceptions, the excep
tions have not supplied us with infor
mation, in the way of deposicions,
neither has our attention been called
to anything upon the record as it now
appears, so that we aie unable to con
sider them.
None of the exceptions are sus
tained. Now, July 7, 1902, the review as
amended by their supplemental re
port, together with the supplemental
report, are confirmed absolute.

ROAD LEADING TO COUNTV BRIDGE,
OPINION.
In the court of Quarter Sessions of
Columbia county, No. 5, May Sess.,
1894.
In the matter of the petition under
the Act of May 21,1901, Pamphlet
Laws, page - 268, for the county to
construct a portion of public road
leading to the river bridge.
It would appear from the first sec
tion of the Act of May 21, 1901, that
the court would not have jurisdiction
to entertain their petition until the
road mentioned therein shall be first
confirmed.
The road mentioned in petition
was confirmed by order of court this
day (July 7, 1902,) and although the
petition was filed on June 2, 1902,
we shall regard it as having been pre
sented at this time, and now make
the order which the law requires.
And now, July 7, 1902, upon pres
entation of the petition and consider
ation thereof, it is ordered that the
County Commissioners of Columbia
county do prepare, or cause to be pre
pared, plans, together with a survey
of the public road mentioned in the
petition (see road proceedings in No.
5, May Sessions, 1894,) not exceed
ing a quarter of a mile in length, from
the southern end of the county bridge,
and cause the-came to be filed in the
office of the clerk of the court of
Quarter Sessions, on or befoie the
17th day of July, 1902, for the pur
pose of being submitted to the court,
and tor further order; and it is further
ordered that ten days be allowed from
the said July 17, 1902, for the filing
of exceptions to the proceedings.
