After consultation and 'correspondence
wit h tho members of the Republican State
Committee, nnd by their direction, I here
by give notice tiiat the Republicans of
Pennsylvania, bv tlieir duly chosen rep
resentatives, will moot in State convention
at Harrisburs, Wednesday, August 1!

act of Assembly, approved Juno lit, 1S!U,
and for the transaction of such other bus

Notico is especially directed to tho fact
that, in accordance with tho provisions of
the last mentioned act, each Senatorial
district is entitled to a representation of
three delegates in said Constitutional Con

The electors of each district are, therefore,
requested to make proper nominations for
delegates to said convention, the rules

connection the Chairman desires to call
the attention of Republican voters to the
recommendation of the Stato Convention

dom in the general participation in the
primaries consistent with the preserva
tion of the party organisation.''

THE REVENUE ACT OF 1S91.
A pamphlet prepared by Hon. John
A. Glenn, of the Auditor General's
department, gives some interesting in
formation relative to the now revenue
act known as the Boyer bill, passed
during the closing days of the recent
legislature. Among the changes in
the old law made by this bill, are the
following :
Section 1 taxes all personal property
with certain exceptions at four mills upon
the dollar of the value thereof, instead of
three mills, undor the act of 188!). This
" section takes effect January 1, 1892.
Section 2 taxes all stages, omnibuses,
hacks, etc., used for transporting passen
gers for hire, and all annuities yielding
over $200 annually, at the rate of four
mills upon the dollar of tho value thereof,
instead of three mills, under the act of
1880. This section takes effect January 1,
1802.
Section 3 provides that three-fourths or
three mills, instead of one-third, or one
mill, as at present, of the personal prop
erty tax, shall be returned promptly to tho
respective counties for their own use.
This section takes effect January 1, 18!2.
Section 4 taxes the capital stock of cor
porations. The first report under this
section is to be made for the year ended
the first Monday of Novemljer, 1802, and
annually thereafter. This suction is new
as far as the valuation of the capital stock
is concerned. It does away with the divi
dends as a basis of taxation, except in bo
far as they indicate a value. The basis of
valuation is the average price of the stock
during the year, or that indicated by the
net earnings or profit made, declared in
dividends, or carried into surplus or sink
ing fund. This section also provides that
upon failure to make a report of capital
stock ior a period of sixty days, the Audi
tor General and State Treasurer shall esti
mate a valuation and settle an account,
from which there shall be no right of
appeal.
bection changes the rate of tax to five
mills upon the actual value of the whole
capital stock, except in the case of tire
and marine insurance companies, the cap
ital stock of these companies is taxed at
three mills upon its actual value.
Section 6 taxes Incorporated stale banks,
and changes the optional tax from six
mills to eight mills, and in case of failure
to eloct to pay the eight mill tax, then they
are to report tho value of the stock in the
market which is then taxed at the rate of
four mills, and the shareholders are taxed
at the same rate locally.
Section 7 relates to the taxation of na
tional banks, which are taxed at the same
rate as incorporated state banks.
Section 8 repeals all inconsistent acts,
reserving the right to collect taxes or pen
alties accruing under prior laws.
The difference which this law makes
to our county is found to be of con
siderable importance when it is seen
that, under the old law we received
for school purposes $2,598.66, while
tho new gives us $6,496.66. And in
stead of 8193.41 personal tax returna
ble uuder the old law, we now get
$580.24.
When the bill was before the House
ou final passage, Messrs. Hitter and
Wherry, the Democratic leaders, made
a motion to "indefinitely postpone,"
which is one way of killing a bill.
Against this motion several very able
speeches were made, but none more to
the point than the following pithy re
marks by Dr. 'fowler of this county,
which form a part of the pamphlet
referred to, as follows :
"Mr. Speaker, I hope there will be
uo confusion in the minds of the gen
tlemen ou the floor of this House iu
regard to this matter. There is no
time for quibbling. It is well under
stood by this chamber that the other
chamber bat substituted this bill.
Whether that was right or wrong is
uone of our conceru. It is equally
well known that all revenue bills must
originate in this House. We are now
pursuing our constitutional right in
this matter. This afternoon we passed
an amendment to the appropriation
bill, giving to the public schools of the
commonwealth five million of dollars
per year, and now let this bill be en
acted to meet the demands of that ap
propriation. The gentlemen on the
floor of this House ought to under
stand the line of policy that is indi
cated by this bill if carried through a
it ought to he carried through, it out
lines the policy that in time the entire
school tax will be wiped out, and that
will be the biggest kind of relief to
the country districts. The gentlemen
from the country ought to be careful
and not vote this down indefinitely,
but carry it through most emphatical
ly, standing together on both sides of
the House in this matter. This is
outlying the policy by which tho en
tire school tax will be wiped out as a
local tax, and our schools supported
by the state. After careful considera
tion I am sure we will conclude
" 'This is the way we long have sought,
And mourned because wo found it not.' "
Clinirman Quay Has Resigned.
The resignation of Hon. M. S. Quay
as member of the Republican National
Committee from Pennsylvania was
forwarded to the Republican State
Committee on Wednesday of last week.
On the same day he sent his resigua
tion as Chairman of the Executive
Committee of tho National Committee
to that Committee which was in session
at the Arlington House in Washing
ton. In accepting it the Committee
refers to the campaign of 1888 as "the
odds of the cot. test being against the
Republican party," and puts on record
the following splendid tribute to the
services rendered by Senator Quay in
that campaign: "By bis matchless
power, his unequalled skill in resources,
his genius to command victory, won
for his party an unprecedented victory
in the face of expected defeat. We
know, as no one else can know, that
the contest which be waged was one of
as much honor and fair methods as it
was of invincible power and a trium
phal victory, and that it was won
largely by the power of his superior
generalship and his unfailing strength
as a political leader. Iu the great
contest of 1888, iu the months of se
vere effort and the years of these per
sonal associations with him, we have
learned to know the nobiiity of the
man and we desire in this conspicuous
manner to place on public record for
the preseut and for the future as an
enduring answer to the partisan as
saults of a defeated enemy, our testi
mony in appreciation of his party
services and his personal worth."
lion. . n, Dudley resigned as
Treasurer of the Executive Committee
at the same lime.
Hon. Jus. S. Clarksun was elected
to fill the vacancy caused by Senator
Quay's resignation.
It looks more and more every day
as if the contest for the State League
presidency will result in the election
of a compromise candidate, aud that
neither John Dalzell nor John B.
Robinson will be chosen. The con
servative element of the Republican
party all over the State has been heard
from iu no uncertain tones regarding
this uncalled for scrimmage, and they
demand that factional bickerings shall
not be permitted to mar the meeting
of the League. The men who permit
their ambition to create dissension
must go and quickly, too. Harris
burg Telegraph.
A Philadelphia paper, which baa
solicited opinions on the subject
throughout the Slate, come to the con
clusion that two-thirds of the lawyers,
business men and party leaders are
opposed to holding a Constitutional
convention. Some are of the opinion
that amendments are the proper
source of telief from and defects that
may exist in the present organic law.
However, the question will be fully
discussed on all sides, aud the people
will decide whether they will waut
such a convention called.
The Democratic County Committee
of Forest county, took matters in its
own hands on Friday afternoon, and
named the following ticket for the
party to support this fall : Delegate to
Constitutional Convention, T. F.
Ritchey ; Coroner, D. W. Clark ; Jury
Commissioner, R. W. Guiton ; Delegate
to State Convention, F. E. Bible.

Insidiously, by creeping on from a simple

the delicate coats, causing iutlaiumatiou,

cure of this dread disease a certainty, and
has never failed. Even when the disease
has made frightful inroads on delicate con
stitutions, hearing, smell and taste have
been recovered aud tho disease thoroughly
driven out.
Cbrouta Diseases.
The Doctors treat no acute disease, but
make an entire specialty of chronio and
long standing disease. Cases given up by
other Doctors and prououncod incurable,
they most dosiro to see. The Doctors have
treated over 15,000 cases in Ohio in the last
twelve years, many of which had been
given up as insurable, some to be blind,
anil others deaf, and a large number to be
invalids for lite. Hut behold I uuv they
see aud hear and many are started ou the
high road to recovery every month. The
Doctors are surrounded with the largest
collection of line instruments ever im
ported to this country for examining and
treating all chronic diseases of the head,
face, eye, ear, throat, iieart, lungs, stom
ach, liver, kidneys, bladder, skin, brain
aud nervous system, cancers, tumors, piles,
swellings, old sores, lita, paralysis, neu
ralgia, rheumatism, dropsy, gout, sick
headache, debility, depression of spirits,
diseasos of children, hereditary diseases of
all long standing chronic disease v.
Keclul 1Im;uji.
They also make a specialty of all forms
of Rectal Diseases, piles internal and ex
ternal, itching and bleeding, rectal ulcers,
fistula which are oiteu taken for cancur
ous aud lung diseases, all cured if taken
in time. Iteuieiuber we cure all forms of
piles without pain, interruption or deten
tion from business, and without the use
of a knife, caustic, liguture or injection.
Come and be convinced. Dr. MM. made
these diseases au extensive specialty fur
tuu years iu a large city.
