for these evils, It proposes to prohibit
that which is proper and right, and to
that extent will do injury. His objec-
tions are to those parts of the bill in
which it seeks to prohibit that which is
not wrong, and second, in not going far
enough to enact measures which will be
right and efficacious. He then went on
to speak of the charges of railroads for

and never pay one cent of tax into its
treasury. He did not hesitate to charge
and made no equivocation in his siate-
ments that in the recent case tried in the
courts they bribed the witness for the
Commonwealth to suppress his testimony
and paid him $7,000 for his venality. The
State of Pennsylvania would be $100,000,-

tax of fifty cents a barrel on the wealth
taken from beneath its very soil. {
Mr. Gowen said that “when the Read-
ing company acquired the Schuylkill :
coal field it bought and paid for all the |
lands now occupied. Some think they paid
a high figure, but none say they stole |
the land.” Although president of a large '
corporation himself, Mr. Gowen stated |

corporations should be bound te respect, |

1001 ERRORS,
The statement of the county finances,
printed at the Watchman office last year, ’
contains errros of spelling, punctuation,
abbreviation, &e., almost innumerable,
which we now refer to for the reason
that the Watchman quibbled at our few un-
important errors, last week, out of sheer
jealousy, because it failed togetour job at
two prices. That paper charges the sup-
plements printed by the Rerorrter has
too many inaccuracies to be circulated
by the self-righteous Watchman, The
charge is maliciously false. Every com
petent judge will say that the supple
ments printed by the RErorTER are neat
er, better workmanship, on far better pa-
per, more conveniently arranged, and
with only one error to 50 in the Walch-
man's job,
The RerorTer has the borrowed mon-
ey and interest accounts where the eye |
18 most likely to find these important
statements. The Watchman's job has the
one stuck away off in Alaska, the other |
iwenty-five miles up hill. There are
grades on the Reading railroad 179 feet
to the mile. Up these grades they can
only draw twenty or twenty-five cars
while on the other it is double and triple
that number.
Mr. Gowen prescuted a substitute for
the Huling's bill, embodying his views
upon the question. Mr. Gowen spoke
at length upon the extortion and exac-
tion exercised by the Standard oil mo-
nopoly. He said the Standard company
have defied courts. They insolently re-
fuse to pay taxes justly due. They have
robbed individuals of lands by a system
of favoritism and now control a country
in a bondage which nations of Europe
would crush to earth. Thay are taking

tions, would naturally be among the first
looked for, and so we have it where easi-

Then it put on for all the papers &

most one-third of a side. The Rerorren's
headings are neat and as required by a
The Walcaman's job is
printed on two sides of same sheet, on
cheap, rotten paper, altho’ it got two pri-
ces for the job. The Reporte printed
only on one side, and on best quality of
paper, altho’ we charged only $126 where
the Watchman got $245.
As to errors—the RzrortER supple
ment has scarce over a dozen typograph-
weal errors—let the reader look for him-
seif and judge. The Walchman's is full of
ypographical as well as errors of igno-
rance, none of the latter kind being in
the Reroxter’s work.
The Watchman, in near a dozen in-
stances, spells Stationery, (writing mate-
rial) with an a at the ending, which
changes the meaning entirely (Station-
ary means not moving.) This occurring
#0 often, is fairly attributable to ignorance
in the Walchman. The name of Forster,
a family right in the same town, is
spelled about a dozen times with an r in
the first syllable and in about as many
cases it is spelled without the r. This
outrageous irregularity the Watchman
eat found. Watchman

ently. These samples will suffice ; then
while the other half have it ; the same is
true in perhaps 100 contracted words, the
Watchman using the proper sign in one
third of them, the other two-thirds don’t
have it. In its 500 abbreviations the
Watchman uses no regularity or: system
whatever ; in its capital letters there is
the same gross irregularity, also in punct-
will be found huddled together without
spaces between them. Thus we could go
on for an hour yet, pointing out or

the authorities making the Watchman re-
fand the $245 received for its ovtrageous-
ly bad job last year, were it not for the
financial rnin it might brin our
jealous neighbor.
Then the Watchman says nc one can
