THe BELLEFONTE Republican has
been trying to indulge in a few caus-
tic remarks in villifying our present
competent board of commissioners,
and every action of the board is com-
mented upon and political timber
made of it. The recent howl goes up
from the board improving the Court
house yard, which should call forth
words of commendation from the Re-
publican, if it has the beautifying of
Bellefonte at heart. They howled be-
cause the yard was left in the shape it
was, and now they howl because it has
been beautified. The paper simply
wants to talk,
and abide your
COMMON HONESTY.
Special atténtion has been given by
the newspapers to the fact that the two
daughters of a deceased Italian bank-
er, who failed in Philadelphia, have
been laboring to rescue their father’s
reputation by paying from their per-
sonal earnings, as far as possible, the
debts which he incurred. There Is
something touching in this fidelity to
n dead father’s memory, in the sense
of honor to which these young women
have shown their loyalty, in order to
free their family name from the blot
of bankruptcy.
Yet the very praise and approval
which these young women have at-
tracted by their self sacrifice suggest
the question whether common hones.
ty, that sense of noblesse oblige in
dealings between man and man, which
used to be so general in times that are
past, is not on the decline to-day.
When a bankrupt pays debts long due
his conduct is commented upon as
strange, if not inexplicable, and some-
times it is slyly intimated that the ob-
ject of his belated honesty in regard to
almost forgotten obligations is to co 7-
er the fresh tracks of recent sharp
practice.
It is humiliating that common hon-
esty—for, after all, the payment of
debts whether due for a long or ashort
period is nothing more—should be a
subject of incredulity and surprise.
The Press believes that the blunting of
honor’s Damascus blade is not so gen-
eral as appearances would indicate.
But there are too many signs that hon-
esty in business is not always held to
be the simple duty of every business
man, and that ultimate success is too
| often accepted as atonement for fla-
| grant breaches of integrity.
These remarks we copy from the
| New York Press, and are worthy com-
{ mon study. Common honesty seems
to be a rare virtue now-a-days, and the
common swindler and cheat in busi-
| ness affairs comes under your eye at
almost every corner. To refuse to pay
| time to pass themselves ofl’ as respecta-
ble and even Christians, while the
| clothes they wear, the food they eat,
{ and articles of value which they ob-
| tain, are unpaid because the virtue of
common honesty is not in their souls.
i It is with regret that the REPORTER
| feels it a duty to add these comments
{ to the clipping from the Press.
I SP
Hox. B. K. Focur, editor of the
Lewisburg Saturday News, is promi-
| nently mentioned as a candidate for
{ the republican State Treasurership.
{ Focht is the Union county representa-
| tive in the Legislature. He made a
{ record during the last session and is a
young man of no little ability. He is
a pusher and if he fails to make con-
{ nections with the nomination for
| treasurership it will be because he was
| not smiled upon by the bosses.

JusTICE WILLIAMS of the Supreme

dently is a candidate for a position on

THE TAX ON STATE BANK NOTES,
The tax on State bank notes was not
imposed for revenue purposes, but to
suppress their circulation, just as the
tax on oleomsargarine was established
in an endeavor to discourage its man-
ufacture in favor of a rival product.
The Supreme Court sustained the
¢ bank note tax in an evasive opinion,
{ that it could not inquire into the mo-
tives of Congress in passing it. If for
| revenue purposes, it was constitution-
al. If to prohibit them, it was uncon-
| stitutional. The tax standing as con-
| stitutional, it is urged that it is with-
| in the power of Congress to partially
| repeal or modify it, say that the law
levying the tax be so modified as to ex-
empt from its operations any and all
State bank issues for the redemption
{ of which ample security should be
| made by a reserve of specie, and the
| deposit of interest paying bonds on
| the principle of the national banking
system. The Philadelphia Record
suggests this plan, and asks “if Con-
| gress can tax all State bank issues,
why might not Congress remove the
tax from such issues only as should
rest on a solid specie-paying basis?’
Certainly it would see m to be with-
in the financial statesmanship of the
day to devise a plan by which State
bank issues can be made absolutely
| safe, and the important element of na-
tional supervision maintained. There
must be conditions precedent to the
removal of the tax. There are plenty
of first-class securities that could be
made the basis of the circulation of
these State banks. A late Govern-
ment estimate puts the amount of out
standing State, county and municipal
bonds at $3,000,000,000. For the most
part they are just as good security as
Government bonds. The outstanding
bonds of a dozen States, cities and
counties of the country, which have
never been quoted below par, amount
probably to $500,000,000, and would
constitute an admirable basis for bank-
ing. Buch a deposit would guarantee
a larger issue of bank notes than the
national banks put forth at any time
in their history, Of course, the dif
culty of Federal supervision comes in
as an important factor, but the adjust-
ment of that problem hardly passes
the limits of statesmanship.—Pitts

ENDORSES CLEVELAND,
Ex-Secretary Whitney has sound
views upon the financial situation and

Whitney advises to shut oft the silver

question not the most vital one, and

HOW UNCLE SAM BUYS GOLD,
This is from the St. Louis Globe: A
place seldom visited by the public is
the Assay Office of the United States,
where gold is bought for the Govern-
ment. There are but four such offices |
in the United States, one in Bt. Louis, |
one in Helena, Mon., one in Boise
City, Idaho, a fourth at Charlotte, N,
C., and the fifth at the branch mint in |
Denver. The office here is in charge
of Mr, Elliot Jewett, with two assist
ants. It is as complete an office as can
be found in the world, being equipped
entirely new since its location in the
Old Custom House, As the agent of
the Government, Mr, Jewett, buys all
gold offered in amounts above $100,
paying for the same as soon as it can
be melted and assayed. A great many |
people are ignorant of the fact that the
Government buys gold outside of the |
mints, The moment the assayer be- |
gins to drum trade, too, that moment |
he drives it away. By such action he

shape it is in, he takes it for what it is

pense of ascertaining this worth.
The process of receiving and deposit-
ing of the gold is of considerable in-
terest. On delivery it is deposited on
scales capable of weighing 5,000 ounces

the morning can be disposed of so the
