M cCAULEY of Chostor County. tOINTV. . District Attorney, r. M. CLARK. Coroner, DR J. W. MORROW. County Surveyor, JAMES D. DAVIS. Alien Tax Law Declared Unconstitu tional. Judge Acheson, of the United States Circuit Court, hag decided that the alien tax law, enacted by the last Legislature, imposing a tax of three ceots per day upon alien laborer when employed in the State is uncon stitutional because it is in conflict with the fourteenth amendment of the fundamental law of the nation that forbids any State from depriving any person of life, liberty or property without due process of law. Judge Acheson is a highly respected jurist and bis opinion will carry great weight, but we doubt whether the Supreme Court of the United States will affirm his decisiou. The class of aliens affected by the alien tax law of this State pay no taxes to towuahips, county or State with rare exceptions. The; are not property owners, aud they are thus entirely free from all forms of taxa tion. Tbey enjoy the use of all roads made by the taxes of the people, but pay nothing to maintain them. They enjoy the protection of the law that shields their homes -tod their families from wrong doing, without contribut ing one cent toward the support of the authority necessary to maintain social order and safety. Hie courts make no distinction between the criminal who wrongs the alien and the criminal who wrong9 the citizen, and yet the whole organization of the government for the maintenance of law aud order is supported almost en tirely by the citizens as much for the benefit of the aliens as for themselves. lo assume that this class shall be entirely free from taxation aud yet have all the benefits of our school, our roads, our almshouses, our osy lums, our police, and our courts with, out contributing to their support, is to assume that the laws of this coun try must discriminate in favor of the alien and against the citizen. In no other way than by a direct tax upon the earnings of alien laborers can they be made to contribute to the support of the government that pro tects them in all the privileges of our free institutions. The alien tax law of Pennsylvania so far from discriminating against the alien laborer of the State, falls far short of compelling them to bear their just share of the cost of the protection they receive from the gov ernment. Tbey are not taxpayers. There may he here and there au ex ception to the rule, but as a class tbey coutribule nothing to the sup port of the government, while tbey contribute much to lawlessness aud the enormous cost that lawlessness imposes upon the community. Judge Acheson seems to assume that tbe law is unconstitutional be ..cause it discriminates against a par ticular class of residents in the State. He overlooks tbe fact that without such a statute our laws largely and oppressively discriminate against the honest Americans, and in favor of the alien and temporary residents. Viewed from the standpoint of jus tice and public order and safety, we regard the alien tax law of Pennsyl vania as in accord with tbe funda mental law of both State and nation, and certainly in accord with that equity that free government should maintain for all classes and condi tions who reside wilbiu the Common wealth. Phila. Times. bpain 8 new premier, it is said, is satisfied with Weyler'a management of affairs. This shows that even ad versity teaches the average Spanish statesman nothing. Weyler hurts the Spanish cause in two ways, By hia barbarities he strengthens the de termination of lliu Cubans to accept uothing short of absolute iudepen deuce, aud he destroys all prospects for Spain to retain tho sympathy of the Europeau governments in her ef forts lo put down the rebellion in her colony. The Spanish government ha nothing lo fear from the Repub licans or the Carliats, but her chances to regain her old control of Cuba are hopeless. IjOOK after tho matter of your reg istration. To-morrow is the last day if you wieli to vote at the election on tJ.e 2d of next November. PENNSYLVANIA'S NEW STATE CAPITOL The above cut represents the design that was supposed to have been selec ted for the new State Capitol at Harrishurg, It develops that tin- design has as yet been settled upon, all of those submitted by the architects 30 in number having been above the $550,000 limit which Governor Hastings placed upon the cost of the new building. The appearances now are that the legislature nl 18119 will not occupy thought would be ready by that time. republican Slate Convention. The Republican State Convention met in Harrisburg Aug. 2H, 1897, pursuant to call of Chairman Elkin. Promptly at 11 a. in., the Chairman rapped the large assemblage to order and the roll call disclosed the pres ence of every delegate and in his place. Tho large opera house was filled from pit to dome. Chairman Elkin was made temporary Pressidcnt of the convention, and on assuming that place delivered a most stirring ad dress, full of patriotism and congrat ulation upon the great prosperity boom that has so quickly followed tho election of McKitiley as Presi dent of the United States, thus re storing the confidence so long lost to tbe country. Tbe speech was fre quently interrupted with applause aud cheering. Alter the appoint ment of committees on resolutions, and organization tho convention took a half hour's reces9. Upon re assem bling, Seuator M ( Carroll of Dauphin, was made permanent chairman of tbe Convention, also delivering one of his characteristically eloqueut addresses. Congressman liobbins of West moreland, placed bis fullow-citizen, Hon. James S. Beacom, in nomina tion for State Treasurer in a most brilliant speech. Stale Senator Johu W. Crawford of Pittsburg was placed iu nomination by the irrepres- CHAIRMAN ELKIN. sable Andy Robertson of Allegheny. A ballot was taken, but before the result was announced Mr. Robertson moved to make the nomination of Mr. Beacom unanimous, which was promptly done. Cul. II. II. Gilkesou of Chester county, placed iu nomination the name of bis illustrious fellow-citizen, Major Levi G. McCauley, aud he was nominated by acclamation. 1 be convention was one of entire harmony and the best of feeling seemed to prevail among the dele gates aud their friends. Tbe reading of the platform was listened to with interest and the salient points were loudly applauded. It is a business 'like document and will commend it self to the party of the State. Hon. Johu P. Elkin was agaiu made Chairman of the Republican otate Committee, a very proper choice. Leon Watson of Nebraska repre sented Forest county in the Conven tion, and was one of the Vice Presi dents named hy the Chairman. M. L. Abbott of Endeavor, is the member of the Stnle Central Cm tnitlee Iron; r ore&l Uounty, and we believe it will be conceded ou all sides that bis selection is one that will give tbe highest satisfaction.
