THE CITIZEN «• at PosMfha- at Bauer a» t* claaa aitut (11111 l r. IKHLIT. Pafcllakar THURSDAY. JANUARY 17. I**3. The Phdadelphia Squabble. Referring to the fuss made over the nomination of Mr. Warwick for Mayor ol the city the Press of Philadelphia says: In view of the frantic fluttering and ol the colossal humbug shown in one or two quarters of this town during the last three or four days it may be just as well to state some plain truths. We shall keep plent> of shot in the locker for further use But there are certain salient facts which will be opportune just now. Nothing could be more utterly false than the allegation that the action of the Re publican Mayoralty Convention was the result of any wrong or any treacher> and considering the sources from which it comes nothing conld be more ridiculous or more impudent. We have nothing to do with the differences of an> managers in side ot the party, and notning to do witi. the schemes or the grievances of any at tempted managers outside of the party, ex ceptas they sff-ft Republican wel-are. W- speak in the interest of the Republican masses in the city and the State; and the Republicans ol' Philadelphia aud of Penn sylvauia— nay more, the Republican journ alists aud representatives ot tbe whole country—will know that we tell tbein th' truth when we say, with fall understand ing "f the whole case, that the nomina'iou ot Charles F. Warwick for Mayor sprang from a straight-forward purpose to serve the best interests of the Republican party, that it leaves no just ground of coinplaiui in au> quart* and that none know thi» belter man those whose oulcry, it stripped of its cant and pretence and revenge, van ishes into nothingness. What are the factsT Senator Pearos. had been accepted as the nominee for Mayor. From the time oi Senator Qaay§' visit to Philadelphia in ear ly December, Mr. Penrose was known to be the slated candidate. As such he was adopted. As such he was supported iu good faith. As such be would have been nominated but for the unforeseen develop ment of conditions which would have madr it a disastrous and perhaps a fatal mistake Calumny! We believed so. Unjust? We thought and said so. But the fact remain ed—threatening, portentous, swelling daj by day into a furious storm. Tne clergy, the religious community, the reformers ■were stirred from one end of the city to the other. It would have been madness to have defied that opposition. As th» day of the convention approached it har dened into a deep, resolute, sullen deter mination, conscious of its power, and onl) awaiting the nomination to strike its dead ly blow. In that critical hour there was no lack of frank, free, full conference. It was u time for candid counsel and quick action Tbe situation wa« laid bare. Tbe judge ment of men beoame understood. There was no man among them who did not know the tread. There was no man who was deceived. The wisdom of bowing be fore ibis tempest of popular feeling was broadly recogniied. The danger of run ning counter to it by following tbe prede termined course was not merely plainh declared, but plainly confessed, even b\ those who are now raising the outcry of trickery and treachery. Thev admitted and assented to the necessity of a change; and in the change thus accepted as a ne cessity they sought to obtain the nomina. tion of a candidate outside «f the list of citizens named by the reformers as accept able men. That would have been reckless and foolish. It could only have been prompted by some ulterior oesign. Tbi reformers' list embraced active, earnest, capable, satisfactory Republicans It was manifestly the part of wisdom. instead of picking op somebody else, to conciliate and satisfy the awakened popular senti ment by making the choice from this known list ot acceptable men, and that is precisely what tbe convention did in nam ing Mr Warwick. OFFICKBS are n<it usually jtieai.y and bank robberiei by "holding up" the hank officials have been numerous out went, but tbe bunks of Kussell, Kansas, have devised a means of protection which would s>-ein calculated to cause an embarrassing sur prise to any bank jobbers ibat amy drop into ihein.

Sbou'd a woul t-be robber poke a gun in at the cash window the cashier will Himpiy put up bis hands, step on tbe but ton, aud the citizens will do the rest. Washington. Representative Phillips denies emphati cally a report published yesterday to the effect that he bad offered to pay the ex penses that would be created if his bill passes which authorizes the appointment of a commission of twenty-one members to consider questions affecting capital, agri culture and labor. In conversation with the rust reporter last night Mr. Phillips said: "I cannot understand how such a report was stated, and especially as I never made the alleged offer. lam deeply iuterested in securing tbe enactment into law of the bill introduced aud believe the questions involved are of the gravest character. Iu conversation with a frieud recently regard ing tbe proposed commission tbe question of its expense was brought up. I told bim that when the great loss to property, and even life, by tbe recent coal, coke and rail road strikes was considered that the qifs tion of the cost of tae proposed commission sank into insigni>'cance. Iu round nnm bars the commission would cost a quarter of a million dotlors, and I stated fr&iikly il' I were able I would be willing to pay the bill. If tbe commii-sion propose l should even be the beginuini; of the solution of tbe great industrial question LOW attract ing so much attention iu both Euroge aud America, and it it should obviate a single strike, like those mentioned above the Co«t of tbe commission should not be con Sidered. Such au offer as reported I would not consider as an argument or reason lor passiug the bill." IT is believed that the President will be obliged to call an extra session of the new Congress after the adjournment of tbe present session. Leaders at Washington say tbat the talk about an extra session of Congress, so far from beinp uuweloome, is received acceptably in certain quarters There are Republicans who be'ieie and assert that if the Doinocrat .-on'irues in active «i,d divined to the end of this con gress. it will be the duty ol the President to is.-ne tbe call. They haveio fear respecting the readiness of their party to ineel any and all pressing public qms tiona in the eaily spring.

Inauguration day was a success in every particular. The demonstration in honor oi Gov. Hastings was as enthusiastic as the majority by which he was elected. There was music, marching and cheering in quantity and quality to satisfy the most ardent dev-'tee of either. From the start ing of the escort from the exeeU' lve man sum to the close of the reception Tuesday evening and the inaugural ball everything pasted uff harmoniously and smoothly. The parade was a splendid spectacle and the fireworks that night a brilliant and titling close to tne pomp and circumstance of the proud day. The first ceremony of the inaugural was the induction of Walter Lyon into toe office ol lieutenant governor, which began at ball past 11 that morning. In quitting the chair in toe senate, Lieut Gov. L. A. Waires delivered a b»i-t but feeling address to the members ol the senate, referring to the pleasant relations between them and the ties about be sundered. Judge Simouton was escorted into the chamber and administered the oath to Lieut -Gov. Lyon, who subscribed to the oath an J spoke very briefly. At this juncture the sound of masic ap proaching was heard, and the senate ad journed to witness the inauguration oiGov. Daniel U. Hastings on rue west portico ot the capitol. Gen. Hastings was cheer ed all aloug the line, and when be appear ed on the platiorm the vast throng of peo ple gathered upon the capitol ground* gaveveutcoa cneer of welcome strong aud hearty. The justices of the supreme court lollowed close upon ttie,governor,and a lew minutes past noon the oath of office *as administered by Justice Sterrett. j Gov. PattKon stood by the side el Gen. I ilastings wnite the oath was administered, i GOT. Hastings then delivered bis inaug ural address in an impressive stjle, the great cr«>wd giviug close and appreciative attention, cheering him again at its con clusion. Tne ladies of the cabinet and wives of toe supreme court justices oc cupied a pavilion erected to tbe right of tbe rostrum, OD wnicli tbe governor stood, and at the conclusion of the ceremonies were conducted to carnages by Private Secretary Beitler and Capt. Delaney and driven to the executive mansion. The parade was formed. It was headed by a platoon of mounted police. Gov. dastiugs and ex-Gov. Patlison rode to gether, and in the same carriage were Kev. Mr. Houck and Senator George Han dy Smith, chairman of the joint legislative committee on arrangements. Following W3ie carriages containing members of the joint committee and other dignitaries. Following these the Pennsylvania State college band and the State college cadets, the guard of honor. Everywhere along tne line the cadets were applauded and admired for their bearing, their discipline and military maneuvering, they carrying off the honors of tbe parade from the spec tators. The national guardsmen came after and then the political clubs. The Penrose club of Philadelphia presented a fine appearance. The young men's Tarifl club of Pittsburg showed up in fiue style with the Knights of Pythias band in the lead, and received many compliments a long the very long line of march. -Gov. Hastings reviewed tbe parade from the stand erected opposite the executive mansion on Main street, this ceremony oc cupying nearly an hour. The cadets pass ed in review in spleadid style, marcning company front. Gov. Hastings next weu> to the execu tive department aud sent to the senate, wnich met at 4 o'clock, the names of Gen Frank lteeder as secretary of the com monwealtb; H. Clay McCormick, for Atty. General Thos. J. Stewart to be adjut. ant-general; James H. Lambert to be in surance commissioner aud James Camp bell of Pittsburg to be factory inspector. All were confirmed at once.and immed'ate ly afterwards Keeder, McCormick, Stewart and Lambert were sworn iu. The reception Tuesday night was attend ed hy members of the legislature aud many others, who availed themselves of the op portunity to meet the new Governor Ex- Gov. laines A. Beaver assisted in receiv iug -tnd was a conspicuous figure. After the parade the members of the Tariff club dined with 0. L Magec at the Common wealth, and they completely filled the dining room. The club left for Pittsburg on the western express at midDigbt, well pleased with, their treatment. ClKCULAßsbavebeeu is-ued from tl>e General Passenger Agents' office of railroad companies instructing agents aud conductors not to sell or receine clerical orders after March 31, 1895. The cause ol this action is the willful violation of the privilege of half-rates to clergymen, many having, it is said, abusbd their privilege by sub-letting iheir orders. Duties of Constables. The following is an extract from an opin ion of the supreme court of this state, de livered by Judge Agnew in the case 'f McCullough vs. The Commonwealth, 67 Pa. St. 32: "The office'of constable is ancient, bi« duties important and powers large. His general duty is to keep tbe peace; and for this purpose be may arrest,imprison, break open doors, and tbe like. A constable may justify an arrest for a reasonable cause of suspicion alone. He may arrest for a breach of the peace in bis presence, and deposit the prisoner in jail. And what is more to onr present purpose, be is bound to present to the term or last court al' of fences inquirable in these courtß. These are all common law powers. •■ln addition to these common law duties many statuary duties have been im posed upon constables in this state. By numerous laws he was bouml to make re turns, under oath, of various offences, such as killing deer out of season, unlawful acts against the laws for preserving li-h, the birth of bastard children, tipplii g houses kept without license, the want of index boards, breaches of tbe peace at elections, wagers upon elections, and others which do not occur to my memory." By other acts he is bound to return gambling places, places where oleomarga rine is sold or kept for sale, and to visit all places, at least once a month,where intoxi cating liquors are sold or kept for sale. By the act of April 17. 1867, (P. D. 1233, 42). it is tbe duty of every sheriff, con stable, member and officer ol police, to ar rest an.\ and every person who shall be found intoxicated in any street or public highway, or in any public place or places where strong or spiritous liquors are sold, publicly kept or disposed of, and to take sucb person before any m >gistrate of the vicinity to bo dealt with according to law. It will thus be seen that the office of constable is not asolt snap.

Among the bills introduced in the House Thursday was one by Mr. Douthet, requir ing railroad companies to give notice at stations whether passenger trains are on schedule time or not. The bills pro-iding for additional 1 w judges in Westmorland and Washington counties were affirmatively reported from the judiciary General committee of the House. Capt. George G Boyer, past department commander of the G. A. R . and oneot the First Defenders, was appointed chief of staff of the inauguration parade. Among the aids were C L Magee, of Pittsburg; David Martin and Senator Porter Philadel phia. Tbe rupture between Quay and Martin was yet the subject of general conversa tion. From a complete list of the House Com rnittee we see that our members are placed as follows: Mr. Doutbett is on tbe Agricul ture, Appropriations, Congressional appor tionment, Fish and Game, Military Affairs and Centennial affairs. Mr. Moore is on ihe Centennial Affairs, Counties and Townships.Federal Relations, aud Judiciary General committees. Four members of tbe House are of tie name Moorej F. Jf. of Bradford, en o.'d member, J. N. of Butler, L. W. of and D. F. ol Chester in tbe senate. Mr Meredith is Chairman of the Congressional Apportionment Com mittee and is also on Appropriations. Fed eral Relations, Pensions, Public Prmti g and Vic»< and Immorality. Assessors Should Be Careful. This being the year of the Triennial As sessment. the several Assessars should not forget that their work sustains a v ry close relatiou to the State School Appropriation. The Act of Assembly governing this is a fiilows: "Tliat it shall be the duty of the Com missioners of each county to ascertain, trieunially, with the assistance of the rep resentative aMessors, the exact number ot taxable citizens residing in eaca school di-- trict in their several counties, and to certi fy the same nuder their hands ana seals of the office, to th« superintendent of common schools, who is hereby directed to adopt the number of taxables thns certified to him as tbe basis of distribution of the Stale appropriation, wbiclftMid cerulicate shall be prepared and transmitted on or before the first Mondav in Juue in every third year, commencing with tne first Monday of June, A. L> , 1865." It, therefore, becomes the duty of the Assessors to return along with their assess ment the number of resident taxables for school purposes. This return becomes the basis for the distribution of the State ap propriation for In-- next three ihe more tsxables reported the larger will be the State appropriation to the district. Assessors should not mis* a resident taxa ble, which is, as we understand it. all citi zeda of a district—male or female—who pay tax upon p operty,occupation or money. It also includes resident taxables through undivided estates For instance: John Kaufman's estate is taxed but not yet di vided. There may be one or more female heirs, who, although not taxed in their own right, ire yet taxed through their un divided share in the Kaufman estate, and should be returned as taxables in that dis trict. Wo know that much of tbe supposed un just distribution of the appropriation has its source in the return ot taxables by the Assessors to the county commissioners. A full aud complete return will insure the full and just appropriation, which now av erages about $3.00 to every taxable, and omissions become quite a serious matter wheu so much is at stake Publishing Mairiagc Licenses. They are having trouble in Berks county over the question of whether the newspa per* shall be allowed to publish the names of those who lake out marriage licenses, as a matter ot news, aud fiually it was got ten into the courts liver since the mar riage license law went into eflsot the clerk ot the orphans' court Has refused the news papers access to the liceuso docket for the purpose of securing tne uames for publica tion. Recently a Reading piper appealed tn<- matter to court, aud Clerk Snaffnor fii*d an answer that the law does not con template publication; that parties takiug out licenses frequently ei.j un secresy for personal and pnvatu reasons, and it an or der be made in favor of publication then his compensation should be fixed. Wheu the matter came up iu court Judge Bland said that it was his opiuion that the mar ridge license docket is a public rejord; that one of the objects the Legislature had in view in passing the law requiring li cense te be taken out was pubUoiiy, and i hat the morals, safety and general welfare of tbe community was tne principle under lying the policy of proclaiming the bans. Ami Judge Bland is correct. The frauier ot the original marriage license act, Sena tor Harlin, of Chester, was particular to urge as the ont of the most potent reasons for passing the bill, fiat it would give pub licity to the names of those who aie about to be married People, he said, could uave access to the records at all times, aud if there was anything wrong the marriage could be prevented. It is knowu that some years ago iu a neighboring, county after the uewspapers began to print the uames of those who took out marriage li censes, their publication led to the stop ping of a marriage between a rascal, who already had a wife living, and an innocent girl. Au acquaintance of the man, who Kuew that he bad not obtained a divorce, and that his wife was living, read the mar riage license noiice, was struck by the -imilarity of the name of the man he knew aud made >*. short aud quick investigation with the result that there was no weddiug If tbe list of niarriuge licenses had not been published au irrepaiable wrong would have beeu consummated. Tho clerk of the Berks couuty orpbaus' court talks like a ninny wheu he says his compensation should be fixed for permitting publication. Let him put his license book out where the reporter can g.ft at it, aud there will be all tbe publicity that is necessary. 01' course there are sometimes those who ask that, their names shall not be published,and, in some cases where the parties are well knowu. their wishes should be respected, but to those not well known it is best not to make promises of suppressing publica- ■la m ixo nrille Xolev.
