" It cost the state of New York $20,218,742 to maintain its public schools last year, and Pennsylvania paid out $18,580,751 in like expen 'litui'u.i. Here are two great Com mon wealths, having a combined pop ulation of 11,255,867, oxponding the enormous sum of $38,805,493 ill a single year in tho cause of popular education. It is significant of the tread of the times and indicates a disposition to provide for the future by giving to tho rising generation every advantage and opportunity a wise and careful government can ad vise. "We want to hear no more from the Dunham contingent about the heavy expenses to the poor tax pay* ers on account of the judicial contest .since they (tho Dunliainites) have re fused to accept the proposition of Judge Sittser's attorneys to allow the judges to take the ballot boxes, recount the vote and declare the result, which would practically be without expense to the tax payers. Whose on the side of the poor tax payers now ?"—Wyoming Dcm. It would appear that our old friend Mr. Day is itching these days. He is mad all over on account of the contest, and just why the old gentle man should feel thus, know person can toll. It was he and a few other Sittser friends who brought on this litigation and now he squirms be* cause it is in progress, and wants it cut short for the benefit of the poor tax payers. Ila! what doception. The old gentleman through the col minis of his paper would like to im press upon the people that Dunham and his friends are responsible for the expense that will follow this con test. This of cours is not the case. Judge - Sittser and his friends are \ wholly responsible for the bringing of this litigation and of course must father the expense that will follow. , The old gentleman is a curious ' piece of furniture, only last week he whined because the Dunham side of 1 the contest were anxious to put an end to the litigation and now he comes hall way and argues that half , of the proceedings should be laid on ! the shelf Early in the contest Mr. i Day advocated through his paper ( that if there were illegal votes cast ■ the perpetrators should be punished and our ballot box purified. A j sound argument. Now lets proceed ' to punish the perpetrators. Perhaps 'j however, Mr. Day would like a few ( of them excused. The very idea , lhat Judge Dunham and his friends ( should drop any part of the pro- J ceedings in this contest, is absurd, l The Sittser friends brought it about 'j thinking and hoping lhat they might tind some flaw in the ballot box that ' would off set the 2'J majority that Mr. Dunham honestly received. J I'hev had no positive assuranco of ( this; it was a faint hope and now they realize that they were mistaken and want half of the proceedings quashed. In other words they don't J want the proceedings carried so far i as to tbrow out the vote of Colley J twp., because said election was not 1 legal, from the fact that it was held , in a building other than was ordered . by the Court. Colley township, < gave Judge Sittser 11 majority and ' the Siltserites don't want them re- j moved from tho count. Whon tbe ; court hearing tho contest have finish- j ed their labors, we feel confidont 1 that this will be the extent of the \ illegal voting in Sullivan county on J the Gth of November, We reokon the old gentleman will have togo deaf and blind to get out of healing of tbn expense# at tached to this contest. There is pending in the State Son* j ate a bill that is calculated to meet I the hearty approval ol' the people of this country, as well an many other sections of the state. It authorizes the common wealth to purchase, take or assume control of the bridges now maintained and controlled by the counties; in other words it provider that all bridges shall become state property and be controlled and maintained by the state as public highways. In case of the destruc tion of a bridge by flood or other wise, it becomes the duty of the state to replace it. The Auditor General aud State Treasurer will have direct charge of all matters pertaining to the public bridges. The bill provides for the appoint ment of appraisers who shall pass on the value of the existing bridges before their acquirement by the state, and the fixed sum by them shall be paid over to the county authorities. When it becomes nec essary to erect a new bridge the Auditor General and State Treas urer will, upon application of the County Commissioner*, order a view by six citizens, two of whom shall be citizens of the county where the bridgo is proposed to b« erected, and upon their report the state authorities will act. The bill is one that should become a law. The bridge burden slrould be borne by the state and not the counties, which are not able to boar the expenses, often heavy, that these structures require. It would equalize the ex penditures and relieve many sec tions of a burden that they can ill afford to bear. The people of Sulli van wili look to their representative at llarrisburg to give hearty sup port to this measure.
