Inr Among the People—Was well Qualified for the Position, Mr. Guyer Mattern, the popular young Republican of Patton township, made that honorable and upright ean- vass for the nomination for Porthono- tury which characterizes everything which Guyer does, Every man who ever met Guyer Mattern admires him, His bright, open countenance tells at once that he isan honest and troe man. He is the soul of geniality. But for the fact that such a strong candidate as Mr, Fleming wus also seeking the nomina- tion Mr. Mattern would have made the nomination triumphantly. Daily News, The Caily News speaks in very com- plimentary terms of Guyer Mattern, the defeated candidate for the Republican nomination for Prothonotary, of this {county. They have not exaggerated in the least, as we are well aequainted with Mr, Mattern and know him to possess those qualities which win for him the respect and confidence of all | whoknow him.

If any one this assertion let him inquire of Guyer Mattern or any of his friends. Hastings gang and “boodle” that de- feated Mattern in the convention. That Guyer Mattern was well qualified is well known, as he has been employed in various capacities about the Court House, being adapted to clerical work of that nature, While on a visit to Johnstown, after the ood, he was asked to assist in the commissary department, and so faithful and efficient were his la- bors that they positively refused his re. waa given charge of one of the largest commissary departments in that section, the hands of the citizens of Johnstown, the former employees of the state were sent home, Gen.

We are glad, politically that Mr. Mattern was defeated as many Democrats in his section would have given him their support. We are glad that they took a weak and incapable man for Prothonotary and makes a Democratic victory a ceriainty When we say thut Mr Fleming is incapable we mean that we want and need a man for the office of Prothonotary who un- derstands the work and methodical and efficient. Mr. Fleming is a tailor by trade, runs a tailoring establishment and never had any experience whatever for such a position. Mr. Fleming is, as far as we know, a respectable citizen of our town, is considered honest and up- right, all of which are most estimable traits of character, ht more we want tnuned and efficient men in that position and no misfits, There are too many of them in the Court House at present, and especially in the commissioners office where every. is we need thing is garbled and jumbled, the coun taxes raised from One mismanagement, example is i nough not i We office turn don’t want the Prothonotary’s into a sporti: girendezvous, baseball headquarters, or a nest for politi.

In addition to items given in Wednes- day’s World, Commissioner Tanner on August 3 issued certifiicates for acerned pensions based upon rerating as follows : George W, Clark who had for several years drawn a liberal pension, was re- rated, and pocketed the sum of 85,623,. 99, Lewis Mallin’s case was reviewed and he received a rerated pension, $6,085, -iy LE Frank Rose got a pension check for 86,055,72 as his share of the surplus. Charles Lovely had his case reopened {and under Tanner's instructions was awarded $0,042.12 in arrears upon re- rating. Philo Bierce, already generously pen- sined for disability incurred in the line of duty, was rerated by Tanner and scooped in #6. 341.72 Henry A. Kirsch'scase was in many | respects identical with that of Bierce { and he also caught on to the tune of 85... { 341.72. The six cases above described, taken together with the five given in Wednes. day's World, made a grand total of $72,022.92, of whith Richard Whiting, of St. Louis, received #15.251.50, the Deputy Commissioner of Pensions, th. ail Sn himself pocketed 84085. .

In order to increase its revenues the Austrian government in 1888 raised the tax on cigars, but, instead of gaining the treasury realized a heavy loss in re. ceipts. During last year the Austrians smoked 177,000,000 less cigars than they did the year before under the lower rate of taxation—a disastrous fiscal experi- ment what ever may be sald of the san- itary results of the diminished consump- tion of tobacco, The same effect is witnessed in the taxation of luxuries in this country. When the duty on champagne wine was increased from #6 to 87 a dozen in 1853 it was followed by considerable de. WHATIT COSTS, Since the year 1880 the people of the United States have paid to the officials of the custom houses the enormous sum of Four Billions, Siz Hundred Millions of Dollars. This money represents the tax known as a custom duty’ upon eommodities coming into this country from abroad which entere into the daily consump. tion of the people. The sum is appalling and well calculated to make the ade: - cates of a “protective tariff, ”’ so called, but which is nothing better than a swindling tax upon consumers, feel like hiding it from sight. In ord. r that the people may fully ape preciate the blessings of the tariff tax they should know what this sum of money » mounts to, and that they mas know this, a few comparisons are hers made: If all the gold, silver, copper and nickle coins of all denominations, that have been coined by the United States mint from 1768 up to the present, uid side with the tariff tax paid at the cus. were cline in importation. In 1888 the im. in quart and pint bottles were 50 cent. less than the imports in 1883, his per decline in importation largely compensated by the domestic production of There venue ‘French” is no doubt that if the wild be cham pagnes interna » re sl repealed it wal por sysiem recount | and } lass | | would result in an enormous increase in | the consumption of whiskey and tobae Wi } ile yf 8 and d | means of paying the for the what we | eo, this would involve a loss an. 15.000 000 to that increased in the vv. publi amount the pension tO the moral and | mols itis social economists mid be ary effects of such a change of na- ’ ‘ { determine | sanit | tional policy The effect « tion is fel: upon th | as upon the luxuries of life. in taxation upon CHSAr es a By repeal. taxes upon woo!
