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.

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.

HASTINGS' INAUGURATION.
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,

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.

Harrisburg Notes.
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-
