were women, she was placed in jail

The managers of the state fair report
that it failed to meet expenses, leaving
a debt of several thousand dollars to be
canceled by other parties, from other
sources than that which comes through
the gate leading to the different depart-
ments cf the association grounds. Al-
though the attendance was large, attrac
tions above the average and weather
fair, it seems as if some cause prevented
it proving a pecuniary success. Another
year it will be well for the managers to
avoid the mistake of appointing simul-
taneous dates for the state fair and the
Franklin institute. That the two exhi-
bitions injured one another this season
is not to be doubted. The admission
prices are too high, also. Half a dollar
is too much to ask for such exhibitions
~=the people say 80, if the managers do
not. Better have a steady throng at a
quarter a head than a sprinkling at
double the money.

The World fittingly says when the Re-

intention to make war on the “twin rel

duty well against slavery. But polyga-

JOBBERS TO THE FRONT.
The Delaware County Record, a Re-
publican paper printed at the home of
Chairman Cooper, opposes to the election
of the Pardon Board with
great vigor, It declares
“The nomination of Quay is a despe-
rate game to bring the jobbers to the
front in Pennsylvania by and through
the election of one of the chief jobbers
to the State Treasuryship.
of popular condemnation is upon Quay
and his ilk ; he is already defeated in
the public judgement, and it but remains
to swell the majority to emphasize the
rebuke of jobbers, The jobbers st
go!”
THE PEOPLE HAVE LONG
QUAY.
The Doylestown Democrat says Mr.
Matthew 8. Quay, the Republican Boss
candidate for State Treasurer, has made .
candidate
part he took in the pardon of noted cor
ruptionis!s should bar him from all po-
litical preferments, Do the people of
Pennsylvania wish to place a pardon
broker at the head of the treasury to
handle their money ? He was one of the
heroes of the infamous Recorder's law,
passed to fleece the people of Philadel-
phia. He accepted the office to put
money in his purse, and received thou-
sands of dollars, literally dragged from
the pockets of the boss ridden tax-pay-
ers. It was a scheme to pension a useful
political boss on the tax-payers, when
the party managers had no other way
just then of maintaining him. It succeed-
ed until the outraged people compelled
the repeal of the law. Mr. Quay’'s con-
nection with the swindling Pittsburg Ri-
ot bill in 1877 is one of the darkest blots
on his spotted political record. He was
Secretary of the Commonwealth, and
was notorious in his intrigues, lobbying,
log-rolling and active collusions to have
the bill passed. It appropriated $4,000
000 to pay the losses by the riots, the
money to come from the State Treasury,
Afterward the entire damage from the
riots was settled for about two millions.
In the legislative investigation in 1878
and 1879, Mr, Quay's connection with it
was clearly proved. He was in daily in-
tercourse with the go-betweens, for the
purpose of carrying on corrupt and un-
lawful solicitations of members of the
House, instigated by himself and others.
Although Mr. Quay's friends have de-
nied his connection with the disreputa.
ble transaction, he has never dared to
deny it. The part he took in the pardon

he must within ten days after it is fui
nished by the assessor declare under
oath or affirmation all of his property li-
able to State taxation. In default of such
return, the assessor is required to make
out a statement of the property taxable,
estimating the amount from the best in-
formation at his command, To this es
timated return the County Commission-
ers will add fifty per centum and the ag
gregate will be the basis of taxation, un-
less such taxable person, on or before the
day fixed for appeals from assessments,

excusing the failure to make a return, as
should have been made to the assessor,
when the County Commissioners shall
substitute the taxable person's return for
that returned by the assessor, to have
like effect as if no failure had occurred.
It is further evident that the blank to be
filled in by the individual taxpayer is
for the purpose of comparison with th:
official record of the mortgages aud
judgments obtained by the revenue of
ficers appointed by the County Commis
sioners, It is fo be presumed that whese
there is a difference in the two estimates,
the returns of the revenue officers will
be taken as final, so that the return,
oath, ete, of the individual taxpayer will
go for naught. The new law seems to be
a savage application of a heroic remedy.
While its framers were about it, they
might have devised a plan to prevent
the iniquity of taxing encumbered land
both in the hands of the title owner and
in the possessor of the mortgage.
We have two cases in point: In the
one instance John Doe sold a farm to
Ri: hard Roe for $5,000 and latter paid
the former $3000 in cash and gave a
mortgage for $2000, Under this law the
farm is fully assessed and taxed up to
Roe. In another case a house and lot
was sold for $2,000, half of the purchase
money was paid and a judgement given
for the balance. The house aod lot is
assessed to the present occupant and the
judgment to the former owner. 1s it not
piling tax on too heavily, on the part ol
the State ?

he thinks, could almost invariably reach
Point Barrow in their boats or over the
pack ice. Supplies could annually be re-
newed at Point Barrow, and hardly a
year passes that some ill-fated crew d
not perish because there is no succor
within reach. The best whaling grounds
in this region are north of Behring
Straits, and the whalers push into the
Arctic Ocean in spite of the probability
that some of them will be caoght and
crushed in the polar ice pack,
Lieut. Cantwell announced as the most
important results of his explorations in
northern Alaska last year the discovery
of indications that there is an available
route by which sailors, icebound on the
north coast of Alaska, may retreat over-
land along the Colville River to the set-
tlements on the Yukon, He has just re-
turned from his second season's work in
the same region, and perhaps brings
further information on this question. As
long as there are commercial prizes to
win in the waters of Behring Sea and
the Arctic Ocean, our whalers will face
the peril and run their chances. It seems
reasonable that Congress should make a
modest extension of the life-saving ser
vices in this direction. It has been
shown that the costs would be compara.
tively small, and that such an enterprise
would probably give considerible value
to some parts of the coast and land wa-
ters of northwest Alaska that are now
worthless,
