The Scranton Truth suvs : "The
anomalous verdict of "not guilty but
to pay the continues to be
given in the courts. If a man is
guilty enough to pay the costs the
verdict should state, and if he is not
guilty he should not be required to
pay costs. There is room for re
form in this peculiar system of
verdict rendering."
The road between this place ana

glected this highway and the people
are becoming vexed and will urge a
change for the better.

Obstinate nose-bleeding is frequ

As a last resort Dr. I). Hayes Agnew

Two large cylinders of bacon were

a very simple remedy, and one
which should be remembered for
coses of emergency.
The people of Sonestown come to
LaPorte in large numbers to assist
in Decorating the soldier's graves on
Memorial Day. Why are we not
duty bound througU respect to as
sist them on this occasion ? We are
told that unless our people join in
the exercises at Sonestown this year
Washington's Camp will cease their
visits to LaPorte on similar occa
sions. Wc ask the people of La-
Porte to consider this and if pos
ible arrange to be present at the

The United States Supreme Court
recently decided that any one can
import liquor and sell it in the orig
inal packages, the law of any State
to the contrary notwithstanding, as
the liquor docs not become subject
to the laws of the State until sold
by individuals of the Strfte. This is
the most legal set back that prohibi
tion has yet received. It only re*
quinsrs 'that importers shall make
the packages small enough for gen
eral consumption and then sell only
as originally imported.
Owing to our position taken in the
Hawk matter of Cherry twp., we
added three new subscribers to our
list, on Tuesday last. Our new
patrons stated that the REPUBLICAN
was the only paper published in the
county that would dare come out
and give the facts in this case. We
are led to believe that wc made
man}' friends by denouncing the
treatment of Hawk, and we sincere
ly believe it to be true, as we have
received a number of letters of per
sons who were acquainted with the
care given the old man who heartily
concur with the ccursc pursued by
us.

John Hefferman, Long Valley,

Beatty of Wilkes-Barre to fight to a
finish under London Prize Ring
rules, for $"-200 a side. He also chal

W. 11. McCabe of the 2d ward,
was arrested on Thursday of last
week for striking and abusing his
wife while in a drunken state. The ]
case was tried before Robert Rtor
raoht J. P., who held the prisoner
under S2OO. bail. McCabe, not
being able to lind a bodsrnan for the
required amount, was placed in jail
to await a hearing at this term of
court. Followig is the sentence of
Judge Thayer of Philadelphia, upon
a convicted wife-beater, of said city,
rendered on Wednesday of last
week :
"This wife-beating has got to
stop. The only way we can stop it
is by giving severe punishment for
the crime. You see your wife's face
is covered with the marks of your
brutality. Take eighteen months in
the Eastern Penitentiary for your
cruelty."
Good for Judge Thayer. If his
example was followed by every
Judge in the land who is called upon
to pass sentence upon the brutes
who. because they are able, are mean
aiid low-down enough to strike
women, there would be fewer vic
tims among the poor wives of the
country; A brute of a mail who
will strike a woman deserves every
day of eighteen months in jail and
should not get off a day short off it.
Memorial Day will soon be hero
when the graves of the fallen soldier
boys will be decorated by nature's
blossoms in memory of those dark
days of 61-65. We can just remem
ber of our home boys ac
companied by a number of Cherry
twp. comrades, passing through town
on lumber wagons with tlags in the
air and drums beating, on their
way to Muncy where they took the
train for Harrisburg thence to Wash
ington. A very laige percentage of
these comrades never returned to re
late their hardships to their wives
and families and aged mothers and
to those we owe a feeling of grati
tude and for this purpose one day
of the year has been set apart to
bring back in memory the hard
ships suffered by those who fought
and died for their country and saved
the North from rebel grasp and
slavery. This custom of strew
ing flowers upon the soldier's
graves was adopted in 1808 by an
order issued by Gen. Logan to the
Grand Army of the Public and no
sooner had the order been publicly
announced when the citizens of our
patriotic village callad a meeting
and arranged to comply with the
wishes and request of General Logan
on the 30tli day of Maj' 1868 and
although twenty-two years have
come and gone, we are proud to say
we have never once neglected this
duty or let the enthusiasm die out,
and by a call of the S. S. Simmons)
Post, No. 477, G. A. R., of LaPorte
will meet to strew flowers upon the
grassy mtmnds of those dear ones
who now rest in the Sonestown
cemetery at 9a. m., and 111 Moun
tain Ash cemetery at 3 p. m., on
Friday next. The Post has extend
ed invitations to the P. O S. of A ,
Camp of Sonestown and the many
Sunday schools throughout this
vicinity to take part in the exercises
and we understand that the Camp
has accepted and will turn out al
most to a man and that several
Sunday Schools will join the pre
cession. With this end Memorial
Day in LaPorte and Sonestown will
be made one long to bo remembered
by her patriotic citizens.
