In many counties of the State the town
ship Auditors are being prosecuted and
fined for not publishing the annual state
ments, as required by law. This is proper,
for the people have n right to know how
their taxes are expended and a refusal or
neglect to publish, as required by law,
raises a just suspicion that some of the
funds have been misappropriated. All
laws ought to be complied with, and when
office-holders refuse to comply with them
it is always a sign of corruption and the
penalty for refusal ought to be enforced.

Extravagance in Tress,
'The "Inquirer" of this city takes oc
casion to commend the action of the young
ladies of a certain Kentucky town wha
have signed an agreement that they will
not purohasesny article to be used in male
ing up wearing apparel which will cost
more than twenty-five ceLls per yard, and
that they will be economical in other mat
ters so thit the cost of living shall be
great'y reduced to their fathers and hus
bands. The story is one of that sort, which
as the Italians say, '-If not true, is well in
vented." It would be quite Impossible for
any young lady now.a-days who made any
pretension to position or respectability to
dress in a fubrio costing no more than
twenty -five cents a yard tor out-of-doors
display. She might get alont with such
priced material in a wrapper or home drees;
but for the street, the church, the opera,
concert, ball or party, she would declare in
such a dress she would "not be fit to be
seen." Within the last twenty years ez-
ravaganoe fu women's 'dress has been
pushed to the extreme by the efforts of the
fashion makers in Paris and London.
Those monarch of dress have bad no other
design than to render their services indis
pensable to every person of fashion. Their
effort has been, to increase as much
as possible the amount of work which
they had to do, and thereby create pre.
texts for increasing the eize of their own
bills.
Twenty years ago a woman's dress was a
moderate affair. It might be rich in
material, but it was plainly and tastefully
ornamented. The simplicity of such styles
has long since been overthrown by mantua-
makers of the old world. Every possible
vatiety of ornamentation and of trimming.
have been added to dress. Fringes, rufhes
flutinis. Tjlaitinirs. puffinir, pipings and
cordings, and laces, bendwork, bugles
gimps, gnloon, embroidery, edgings, and
insertions make up the extraordinary fab
rio of a fahionable dress. From $20, $30,
$40 or 50, the cost of a fhst.cluss silk dress
a quarter of a eentury ago, they have
brought up theaprice of such garments to
$100; and in Borne cases been to $1000, and
much more. All this is profitable lo manu
factures and dealers in silks, laces lingerie
but not so profitable to husbands and
falters who have to pay for such extrava
gances. There can be only one method oi
reform, and the aphcation lies altogether
in the powtr of American women. If they
resolve, as the Kentucky girls are said to
have done, that they will wear no other
do
An Important Decision,
lo the case of the Philadelphia, Wil
mington and Baltimore Railroad Com
pany against Stinger, appealed from the
Philadelphia County Distriot Cotlr',
which was a case where the dcfendaLt
in error was driving a horse, known o
be afraid of locomotives, aloDg a road
parallel and near to the track, and the
engineman of an approaching train
sounded tho wnistls, causio the horse
to run away and threw the man to the
ground, injuring him, for whioli injury
he brought suit to reoover damages, the
Supremo Court of Pennsylvania held: 1.
That tho question whether the use of
the whistle in that care was negligent
was lor the jury to decide, but not
whether any use of the whistle was neg
ligent. 2, That the use of a horse
known to be afraid of looomotives iu
the vicinity ot a railroad was contribu
tory negligence. The judgment of tho
lower court, giving damages, was rever
sed, and a new trial ordered.

E. Piolette, of Bradlord county, is a

political bummer of over forty years
standing, as arraut as a blatherskite as

Chief Justice Gibson said that he was

made to bribe Piolett. when he was a

One thing the peopleahave to thank
Gov. Hartranft for the present insur
ance law. When he was Auditor Gen
eral, and since he become Governor he
found a great many bogus companies in
existence, and he pressed the Legisla
ture to organize the Insurance Depart
ment, which was done, and under the
able management of Mr. Fjrster it has
proved a blesaing'to ,the peoplo of the
State. It will be remembered,that this
Department costs the tax payers noth
ing, while the good derived from it is
almost inestimable. A few years airo
men were not sure their losses would be
paid it their property should burn; now
it is impossible for a bogus insurance
company to carry on business in Penn
sylvania. To-day every company is in a
