THE JUDGESHIP,
The election of a president judge, to
succeed Hon. A. O. Furst, is begin-
ning to attract attention, in both par-
ties. The importance of having a
judge with all the requirements called
for by the dignity and lmportance of
the position, is a matter for grave con-
sideration. Property, life, character,
are in the hands of the judge upon the
bench, ina very large measure, We
would not know of a greater calamity
to befall a people than to have the ju-
dicial ermine worn by incompetent
and corrupt men ; and as these impor-
tant personages can only be selected
from among the legal fraternity, the
past life of the aspirant for the posi-
tion, in its legal as well as private and
political phases, should receive close
scrutiny.
It is not looked upon, by honorable
men, as a position that should be giv-
en away as a reward for mere party
services. In many districts men are
placed upon the bench regardless of
party affiliations ; legal learning, pure
private character and an unprejudiced
mind alone being the base upon which
choice in founded.
An independent judiciary Is the
safe-guard of the people.
the bench, it is all right enough to
observe party lines ; but where the one
is not, the former is the proper one to
vote for.
This judicial district is composed of
the counties of Centre and Hunting-
don. At the last presidential election
the vote stood thus :
Harrison.
Huntingdon, 3994
Centre, 3698
Republican majority, 393.
This shows the distriet to be Repub-
lican, and their majority has been over
1000 in some years. It is reasonable to

' WELL DONE,
Ix this issue we lay before our rea-
ders the auditors’ report of the county
finances, It is presented in an intelli-
gible shape and should be studied by
every tax-payer. We venture to say
it is open to little, if any, criticism
fnsofar as touches a faithful discharge
of duty by the board of commissioners
and other county officials whose ac-
counts are set out in the reportand tes-
tified to by the auditors as correct.
The assets show near eleven thou-
sand dollars in excess of liabilities,
an exhibit that will be gratifying to
the tax-payers as the assets are a solid
reality and virtually constitute a sur-
plus in favor of the county. Buch a
gratifying exhibit gives Centre county
a healthy financial! standing, and puts
, among the few counties of the state
back upon ‘on a rainy day."
When the present board of commis-
sioners took possession of the office,
they had to grapple with confusion
and a deficit as a legacy of henderso-
nian financiering. They have brot or-
der out of chaos, paid off’ the debt and
show up a balance in favor of the coun-
ty. That comes in under the head of
“Well done,” if any thing does, But,
read the report for yourselves, and
you will agree with our comment,

Few changes, perhaps none, will be
made in the tariff bill by the senate;
the only change that is likely, may be
a small duty on sugar. There will be
no trouble to pass the bill in the sen-
ate within about four weeks.
Sr fp ron
Tae Democrats in congress have re-
solved to cut down expenditures twen-
tyfive million dollars ; the country will
say ‘“Amen’’ to that.
ess. i MS
AN agitation to cut down all sala-
ries 25 per ct. would be in order since
prices in every other line have come
down nearly fifty per ct. This would
save millions of dollars. As we are
about to have tariff’ reform, let the
next demand of the people be for sala-
ry reform.
Boutelle's resolution reflecting on
the President's Hawaiian Policy wus
promptly killed in the house.
mmo roeteete ses——
The senate on Wednesday passed the
repeal of the force bill ; one Republican
and three Populists voted with the
Democrats,
The senate has determined to shut
down on all unnecessary talk and delay
on the tariff bill and hasten the pas-
| sage of it. Right.
i
a ——— -
THERE were 17 Democratic votes in
the house against the Wilson tariff bill
| on its final passage. But it is well to
{| bear in mind that nearly all of these
votes were because of the income tax
| amendment and the provision putting
sugar of all grades on the free list,
Aside from these reasons, there were
{ not half a dozen Democratic represen-
| tatives opposed to the bill.
The bill will pass the senate in due
| time and everybody will find the coun-
try safe and on the road to prosperity.

To Keep Apples and Potatoes,
Apples and potatoes should never be
kept in the same cellar, or if thisis un-
avoidable the potatoes should be kept
in the warmest part of the cellar and
apples in a barrel well headed up near
the windows, where on days when the
air outside is only a few degrees above
freezing they can be treated to a cold
breeze from the open windows, while
at the same time the atmosphere in
the part of the cellar where the pota-
toes are kept does not fall below forty
degrees,

Nobody ever heard of a red headed

one of those mysteries that even the
doctors cannot fathom, but the fact re
mains that men with red hair can
