Taxes and the Remedies for
TTieir Collection.
The law relating to taxe- and the
provided for their collection
W imperfectly understood. It
was oid.y recently that an exchang--
came to os with the general >tatemer.
that under mi Act of 1 a certificate
by the collector of the amount due
could be filed with the PrOthoUotary of
the county and entered on the record as
a lien against the real estate of a de
linquent tax payer. Thi.-> as a general
proposition, is incorrect and misleading.
Titles axe nut a lien on real estate in
this Suite; except in two or three comit
ies wWere they are made so by special
statutes. and the provisions of the Act
of IS9O, are expressly limited to count
ies having such special tax lien laws.
Under the gem-ral laws taxes are not a
lieu un real estate, and can only become
a lien in the absence of sufficient person
al property on the premises of tae de
linquent tax payer and a return of the
land to (he Commissioners' office by the
Collector within the time limited by
statute. In the absence of such return
the collector has 110 recourse to the
land and a purchaser is not liable for
the unpaid taxes. The collector can
onlv seeurd%l lien by making such re
turn in coiftpliance with the provisions
of the statute and failing in this he has
recourse .only to the personal property
the delinquent, may have, and in th"
of personal property to the body
uf the debtor. Or after the time limit
ed by his warrant has expired he ma\
britig his action at law and recover u
judgment for the amount, but if the de
linquent has conveyed or encumbered
his real estate before he secure# a jadg
uieift and lien against the land bis
muMftly to enforce payment out of the
land is gome.
The warrant issued by the Count>
Commiesioaers authorizes the Collector
to collect the amount of taxes assessed
against each person whose name appears
in the duplicate, if the same remains un
paid by seizing the goods and chattels
of the delinquent and if sufficient goods
and rhattels cannot be found to pay and
sati-fy the taxes and the delinquent is
the owner of re:U testate it is made his
duty to return such real estate with a
description it to tbe County Cornnii
sioners: and in the absence of Ixitli real
and personal estate he may during the
life Of the warrant seize the body of the
delinquent rfhd convey hirn to the conn
.4* ifdl wh>i» he must remain until he
pay* the tmcm or until he is discharged
by the Court. Lt is a common error,
however, to suppose that a Constable or
#ny officer of the law can at the
instance of t^i 1 ■ Collector, seize the body
of a delinquent and commit him to jail.
No one has such authority but the Col
lector or his duly appointed deputy,
whose appointment must be approved
by either tin- District Treasurer or the
Comity Treasurer, and this requirement
is as essential to authorize a person
Other than the Collector to seize the
g<HKls and chattels of the delinquent as
to seize hiw body. Any person or officer
who seizes the goods and chattels or
body of a delinquent tax payer without
such authority is a trespasser, and is
liable t«> the person whose goods and
ehuttelsof body is seized, in damages for
an illegal .seizure or arrest and im
prisonment. liut th© delinquent is not
table to arrest aud imprisonment if lie
bas,HutlicjeuJ. real an<i personal estate
out of which the taxes can be made
and if ftiere was sufficient personal
property" An the premises of the delin
qoerf* arid tTie^'ollector has neglec ted his
out}' and 4Mfe<l to seedre the taxes out
of such personal property, or if tlie
personal paspvrty was insufficient to
pay tlie taxes aud the Collector lias
nega ted the real estate, and
by siujli uagUjct bo has List his remedy
' and recourse upon either class of prop
erty, he cdffxiot then resort to a seiznre
of the body of the delinquent to make
good Ids neglect. It Is only in ear
then* Is nMthkir real nor personal prop
erty Sufficient to pay the taxes that he is
authorised to .seize tin; body. The
distiotAktn Avhi<'h once existed botwuvn
seated and unseated bunils with respect
to their return ami sale for taxes is pow

The Act of authorizes tho Col
lector in ail cases where the delinquent
oWns-teal entnte and the personal jrrop
erty on the" premises is inrtuHi' ienl to
pay the taxes to return such lands with
out regard to whether they are seated

POLITICAL
The Republican primary in W.oiung- ;
ton County resulted in a jompldtP vic
tor}" for the Antis. It was * Pegtilar
landslide for Congressman!.\ff> - n.and
the entire Anti Quay Uckdt
Acheson c arried the®fcnning distftcts '
almost solidly, one precinct giving Mc
Cracken and the Quay Legislative slate
bat one vote. In Washington borough
both faction? made the closing fight and
a phenomenal vote was polled.
There were some exciting scenes at a
number of the polling places, and blood
flowed in the second precinct Of the First
ward: where several fights took place.
The Acheron people had detectives in
the various pulling places to see tlrat no
repeaters were brought in by the Quay
faction. In the contignons boroughs
there wa- also a lively fig' ll - but
Acheson j>toplr> won.
Congressman E. F. Acheson. when
seen that night and asked for an ex
pression oif the result. said
"The Republicans of Washington
county have placed conscience above
party .caucus where controlled by such
men as Quay.
The fisht in this comity was on the
straight Quay and anti-Quay
and the Republican electors have given
their decision, from which there can be
no appeal. It was a question of wheth
er or not the j.arty iu .this county should
be dominated by Quayism, and the an
swer has been given. lam than
satisfied with the large majority which
has been given me and the anti-Quay
candidate®."
The r.nti-Quay candidates made their
canvass on a platform of no Quay cau
cus and at the convention Monday the
following resolutions regarding State
affairs wen- adopted.
"ft We denounce and condemn the
outrageous ballot frauds, shown to have
b«-en perpetrated by the Quay machine
in Philadelphia, as contrary to the most
fundamental principles for which our
party has always :»tood; and we repu
iliate a leadership which needs and
will sfoop to use such means to main
tain its position. We declare it to lie
the duty of our party in the State to
free it*- reputation from this stain; and
we demand at the hands of the next
Legislature the enactment of smh
stringent laws for the protection of the 1
rights of the honest voter at both prima
ry and general elections, as will make
forever impossilile such disgraceful vio
lations of the just rights of the honest
and law abiding citizens of the State.
'•4. We feel with keenness the
humiliation east upon us and our great
State, by the pitiable spectacle present
ed to the country, of the man. who was
onoo recognized as her political leader,
beggipg the United States Sen
ate to violate the precedents of I'rt)
ycaas and. in defiance of law. give him,
on a governor's certificate, the seat in
that body, in which the people have re
fused longer to continue him. In our
judgment the Senate will greatly lower
itself in public esteem and respect if it
yields to the nirvvamrntied interference
with its judicial duties in this case.
We ask at the hands of tlie Re
publicans of the State the election to
the high office of United States senator
of a man ' Whose public and private
eha'r.V-t'-r cannot be Impeached, whose
ability has been proven, and whose hon
esty and wiltingne*« to faithfully und
ims«H<My represent the interests of
his constituents are beyond question.
To this end, we hereby instruct our
senator, John F. Budke. and the candi
dates for Assembly this day nominated
to vote again -X M. S. Quay for United
States senator at all times; and to
work and votf for the ejection of some
Republican possessing the qualifications
above set forth and who will give to the
second State ill the Union the standing
in the upper house of Congress to which
this rank entitled her and for which her
people have heretofore longed in vain.' 1
'1 he vote was then taken and Ache
son won over McCracken by a vot'- of
185 to 50: while the votes of the Anti-
Quavtuen for Legislature were !•!!»*,
117 and 1 is* to 22, 40} and 57 Anti-
Quay men W"re also elected delegatt-s
to the state and national conventions.
One of tbe features oi tlie cm test at
the primaries in Cecil township was the
appearance of Jerome K. Quay, a
brother of ex-Senator Quay, working at
the prills.for the SJHX:<;<-B of his brother s
ticket, lie is superintendent r, f tbe
Morganza Refotni School, and all the
employees of the school turner! oat, lint
the precinct was carried for Aybesou
and the anti Quay sluttfby a large ma
>->rit>*.
AeiieHou carried iVojth Ctiarleroi
where but one dclegnte was chosen
while McCra ken carried the first and
second precincts of f'harh-roi Borough.
In the first precinct four delegates were
ch(,«en while sbrdeMgfttea were rhosrm
iu the Second district.
There were nearly Ul.tsm votes cast
in the primaries Saturday, the r.nti
Quay candidates r«.-eejviug lotimi to
for the Quajt candidates.
Somerset and Tioga Republicuas will
hild their primaries nort Saturday, but
several of the most important Republi
can C'iunties. iiielndin;; Philadelphia
1 Bucks, Montgomery, Chester, Lebanon,
[Bradford aud Dauphin, will not make
legislative nominations until later in
1 the season, iu tnosl. cases not- unlil
Augimtof September, but the result in
the counties in which nominations have
already Is-en mad< point unmistakably
to another deadlocked Legislature if
Quay shall continue to be ;i candidate
' for Senator,
l>t \K i)\A> Brother Hoar is going to
make the effort of bis life this week.
He dxpectn to embark today upon a
speech of forty nine thousand words.
At an initial velocity of one hundred
words a minute, he calculates to acconi
plish this in something over eight h >UJ'»
not allowing for interpoptions.
As the venerable Senator ha lost
something of his youthful vigor, how
ever, it is (|tii , Ktionab 1 e whether nn oven
spc«l can be maintained throughout tie
Oration, and as t,h<> Senate does jiot us
ually care to be talked to many hours at
a stretch, it novum 'juite safe to coticUid<
that Mr. Hoar'n sp«ecJi will exJcnil
through the week.
The nnlijeef of It is the woea ot thi
Filipinos and the helnoutoicHM of McKld
ley s foreign policy. Perhaps the Hen
ate will h i him talk on this without in
tcir-upting him, but the chances ar;
against it If not. a week may not
suflic> for the Kpeech. if Senator lioai
consumes all this time on Is-half of his
friend Agniitaido. where does he ex
pe( t his fi-iend to come in''

Centennial Notes.
Th« last meeting of the Executive
Committee of the Centennial, held >n
the evening of April inst.. was well
attended and several matter* requiring
attention w»re acted upon.
An encouraging report as to the
Finances was received and with a
united effort it is believed sufficient
funds will lie secured.
The Committee <>n Invitations was re
ported as progressing with its work.
To the members of the general Com
mittee on Relics, living in Butler, it was
ordered that five be added, to-wit: W.
B. DCKWS. Esq.. Horatio Yanderliu, C.
M. Heineman. Theodore Pape and
Harry Grieb. This for the arranging
and superintending of the relics aft-r
being brought upon the ground here.
A partial report was made by the
Music Committee and it >vas ordered to
make fnll arrangements for music by
May 1. and report same not later tli ;n
that date.
The Committee on Amusements was
requested to again meet and determine
the nature and extent of its programme
and the probable expense, and report
fnlly by May Ist.
The Decoration Committee will have
a meeting soon for better organization.
The matter of arches over the streets
was discussed, and, as the citizens all
propose to decorate their own places of
business and houses, it was thought
that one large arch in front of the Court
House would be sufficient.
It is about concluded to build a large
tent on the Diamond, : East end), in
which to place the smaller relics. It is
to have about ten tables or benches run
ning through it for placing relics. The
Rink may also be secured for -storing
the larger relics.
The Chairman of the Finance Com
mittee requested the publishing of the
names of the different collectors in the
different towns and townships that lie

While fitting at h.is desk laet Mon
day night- a pi( tare of health, an
ideal of robust* rugied manhc»>d—New
tOh Ula k. attorney,, was visited by the
Death 'Angel, and expired almost im
mediately.
He was preparing a "paper book in a
Superior Conrt case at the time: his
friend. Attorney McFailand. was assist
ing him. and during the evening he
mentioned that something he had eaten
for supper had turned on him. and he
spat part out of it. and drank a pitcher
of water during the evening. Towards
11 o'clock he mentioned a pain in his
left hand and forearm, and stopped
work for awhile to warm his arm at the
gas tire in his back office, and then re
sumed his work, but a moment later his
head was thrown back, his body stiffen
ed and he began sliding from his chair.
Mr. McFarland caught him.and being
unable to carry him to the couch, laid
him on the Moor and put something tin
der his head and then called for help,
but death was almost instant -menus.
After the first stroke he seemed to
struggle for life, but he made no an
swer to Mr. McFarland's inquiries.
Fri-ipls gathered in and remained
with him till morning, when he was
taken to his brother's home on Fultjn
St.
The funeral services will be held *«t

Kin-rows' <Jre:it Speech.
The strongest speech on the Quay
case the Senate has yet heard was de
livered by Senator Burrows last Thurs
day afternoon For three hours ho
argued against wvut he calls the revo
lutionary doctrine propounded by those
who favor seating Colonel Quay.
The Michigan Senator astonished
many of hia colleagues by the profundity
of his research He not Only cited all
the precedents heretofore used in the
case, but lie went further. He quoted
tin- utterances of nearly all the Senators
of recognized ability during the 100
years during which similar cases have
been before tho Senate. But that does
not represent the scope of his address.
Mr. Burrows quoted from the discus
sions hi in the constitutional convention
which framed tie' fundamental law,
and tin' writings of the menilxjrs of that
body were searched for light upon the
purpose of the fathers when they fram
ed the provision under the authority of
which (-Jeveinor Stone pretends to ap
point Colonel Quay to till the vacancy
caused by the expiration of his own
term
At times the S-nator, who has been
the head and Trout of the opposition to
the seating of Qu-iy, was ironical. Tn
quoting Hamilton. Webster, Marshall
and Edmunds be remarked that he un
derstood they were constitutional lnw'-
yenof some ability, though iu view of
what lie had heard recently ho was not
surt that his understanding was correct.
Although the Michigan Senator in
dulged in some spread eagle flights of
rhetoric, most of the time he held him
self very elvv- tofhe constitutional law
aspects of the mutter. He marshaled all
the really great l iwyers of the country
against the contention of (Quay's friends
and even quoted Senator Hoar again«t
the position he now holds. He apologiz
ed for quoting the uian who has made
the chief argument for Quay, but he
said Mr. Hoar's arguments in 1*7!) were
so er.genl he could not resist the tempta
tion
None of the Quay men undertook to
interrupt the Michigan Senator. It was
evident that Mr. Marrows was too well
prepared to be tripped up on any point.
A - he proceeded Senators accorded him
the closi st attention, notwithstanding
the faet that he was traversing ground
that had been gone over by every other
man who has spoken on the subject.
Senator Hale, the most blase mail in the
Senate, was no absorbed that he was
apparently oblivious to everything ex
cept the earnest words and gestures of
the Senator from Michigan, who, iu his
peroration,implored the Senators to pre
vent further smirching of the name of
the Senate and further lowering of that
body in popular estimation by following
the precedents of a century.
CnnosiNt; U. S. Senators by the pt,p
nlai vote would improve the reputation
of State Legislatures.

L. M. WISE.
A brave boy sat on a wayside stone,
Save his poor shaggy dog, he was all
alone;
An humble boot-black.
Though a poor, lone waif in the great
busy mart.
Neglected and hungry, he still had a
heart
That was filled with compassion for one
poor brute,
That plead for his friendship in elo
quence mute;
It was poor old Jack, who with right
eous intent,
Followed after his master where ever he
went;
He had stood as his ally in many a
fight,
Shared his meal by day and his lied by
night.
As he sat that day on the old mossy
stone.
Though hungry, ns proud as a king on
his throne,
He held in his hand a poor, dry crust of
bread.
And to his dumb vassal confidingly
said:
"This is the very last crumb in the sack
But, if you want the morsel, then
Speak for it, Jack!"
If from the great public a favor you'd
seek.
Go after it bravely, be gentle and meek;
But never hold back.
Lest one more progressive than you
should step in.
And with more i>erseverence the battle
should win;
Stop not to reflect on his action so bold,
Lost yon, while you're thinking, be left
in the cold.
In this great Republic one citizen—
brother
All things considered is good as another;
Since in love and in war all conditions
are fair.
Just strive without ceasing, you're sure
to get there;
Though men seok for office, 'twould be
a good plan,
If we'd let the office just seek for the
man.
But since 'tis the fashion for men to
climb higher.
If you'd get into office yon'll have to as
pire.
Then trim well your sails, learn to turn
and to tack;
11' you wish for an office, then,
Speak for it Jack!
When trouble assails you iu life's busy
f'rong,
I ..I" friendship stands ready to help
you along.
Upon the right track.
Though storms of adveraity sweep o'er
the way.
And all the horizon looks gloomy and
gray.
Remember, though darkness your way
may enshroud,
There's a lining of silver to every dark
cloud.
There's a fact on which you can always
depend,
"N<> man falls so low but bus some
where a friend."
This great world with friendship is fill -
eil to the brim.
And who seeks it aright, it is rendered
to him.
Tbo' some may give sfcoues, when asked
to give bread.
And may for a fish, give a serpent in
stead,
Yet, t here are enough, if you're worthy
indeed.
To give without grudging as you need.
Then cheer up my brother, step down
from the rack.
For, if you want friendship, then,
Speak for it. Jack!
Love lightens our labor in all we do.
If we are but steadfast, contented and
true.
And in faith not slack.
It was the decree from the kingdom
above,
That the man should be bound by the
bond of love,
To the woman that heaven in limes
early hours,
Placed close by bis side in the garden of
(lowers.
ISut you Can't get a wife, at least not in
our land
AH you'll pick up a pchhlo that lies on
the wntu;
VDU iniint first win her love, if her hand
you would win.
And have her stand by you through
thick and through thin;
Vou can't always fell by the glimpe*
you've caught,
Whether that tender maiden may love
you fir not;
But this I a its lire you, there is beyond
do>bt
(lr the leant hit of cavil a way to find
out.
Just tell the whole story and keep notli
•ng back;
If you wish for her love, why, then,
Speak for it Jack!

A Bad Showing-.
The Philadelphia North American
flung a bombshell into the machine
camp last Friday by publishing sta
tistics showing the time spent during
the last six months by each official in
Harrisburg in the discharge of his
duty. The people pay these officials
their salaries, and this is the service
they get:
Israel W. Durham, Insurance com
missioner, salary $15,000; was present
just three days during the last six
months. He was absent 147 days. The
North American correspondent says:
"He has not been inside of his of
fice more than a dozen times since the
close of the last legislature, and only
three times in the last six months. He
spends so little time in Harrisburg
that it is doubtful if he would recog
nize his clerks if he were to meet them
In the street. Indeed, he knows so lit
tle about the office that it is doubtful
if he can tell when it was created, or
for what purpose."

i Adds His Evidence
.
STORY IS THE SAME AS FROM
OTHER SOURCES.
Lots of Money Spent but no Returns
Have Been Received.
The people in Pennsylvania willingly
add their evidence to that which has al
ready been given in favor of Morrow's
Kid-ne-oids, the best remedy that has
ever been sold in this state for backache,
kidney and urinary disorders, sleepless
ness and nervousness. Our druggists re
port wonderful cures and state that Kid
ne-oids are daily increasing in the opin
ion of our jieople. Kid-ne-oids act di
rectly npon the kidnejs and nerves and
restore them to their natural condition.
Good kidneis make gocd blood, eeod
blood makes strudg ner\es, Kid-ne-oids
make good kidneys and strong nerves.
Mr. John lieightol, 12.V Du.-Boia street,
I)u Bois, Pa., says:—l'or years I was
troubled with kidney disorders, ami dur
ing this time I tried different kinds of kid
ney b'-'t aeyer found anything
that gave me 'relief like Morrow's Kid
ne-oids. Before taking Kid-ne-oids I
suffered with a dull heavy pain in the
small of my back wliicli would lie fre
quented by a sharp shooting pain just ovei
the kidney exteuding up the spine to
the shoulders, also urinary disturbance:
of an annoying nature Since taking
Kid-ne-oids they have relieved-me ol
these troubles and 1 am fet.ling better in
every respect. I will continue to takt
? Kid-ne-oids."
