D. F. McCarty of Eldredville, I who announced himself a candidate for the office of Sheriff, early in the spring, subject to the will of the Democratic convention, has with drawn from the race. Thus far, this leaves Mr. George Walker ot Ilillsgrove the only candidate in the field. Remember that the big cut in prices at Jacob Per's Ilughcsvillc Pa., closes on July 5. The grand total of the deficit in tho United States treasury, since the new tariff went into operation last August, is $50,000,000. When wc compare this with the prosperity of this country under the McKinley tariff we are shocked at the showing of Democratic incapacity and stupid ity- Democratic politicians are finding fault with Senator Quay because the apportionment bills were killed. But it is amusing to see the squirm ing of these same men when confront ed with the fact that Democratic members of the legislature voted to defeat these same apportionment measures. A California clergyman proposes to abolish taxation by making national, State and local govern ments earn their own living by ope rating all lines of transportation, the telegraph and other forms of business now carried on by large corporations.

Petitions are being circulated in Northeastern Pennsylvania favoring the appointment of Judge Rice of Luzerne county to the Appellate Court recently constituted by the Legislature. Judge Rice is an able man and our people who have had an opportunity to make his acquaint ance since the judgship contest, are more than pleased with his manner of procedure on the bench. So far as our people are concerned the Governor could make no wiser or more popular selection. T. J. Kceler can fit you out with Boys, Youths and Mens ready made clothing at bottom prices.

Important:—Several parties in at tendance at court dropped in and paid their subscription. There is a very small attendance at court this week. The jurors, attornies, and a very few witnesses constitute the number. C. A. Brink, practical carpenter and builder of the 'Mere, was called to Laporte the early part of the week, as a witness iu court. M, D. Swarts, cashier of the Du shore First National Bank and F. B. Pomeroy, druggist of Dushore, are among the interested parties at court. Judge Eld red of Muncy, Ulysses Bird of Estella and W. C. Mason of Laporte, all experienced surveyors of lands, were in attendance at court, j this week. I Judge Peck of Towanda is holding court for Judge Dunham in Laporte, and Judge Dunham is holding court forjudge Peck in Towanda, this week. Both are able and compe» tent judges. Howard Lyon of Williamsportand chairman of the Republican Stand ing Committee of Lycoming county was transacting business in Laporte Tuesday. Howard is the same jolly good fellow that he used to be, and is a popular young business man. The weather has been exceedingly pleasant this week and those in at tendance lit court have enjoyed a promenade along our shady walks, j TUe beautiful grounds on either side j of our new Catholic church, were complimented in t.lie highest. There is quite an array of able attornies from a distance, in town this week. Among the list are: La~ Rue Munson, Esq., John J. Rear don, E>q., and H. T. Ames, Esq., of Wiliiamsport, James W. Piatt, Esq , of Tunkhannock and D. C. DeWitt, Esq., of Towanda. Mr. William Paries of Sunbury is doing the shorthand in court this week. Mr. Burrows whom Mr. Coston had engaged for the occasion unfortunately broke his leg in llar<» risburg one day last week and of course was unable to be present. Mr. Faries is an able young man and tills the bdl most satisfactory. The case of Karns vs Kirk occu pied the attention of the court from Monday until Wednesday forenoon. This case involved a lot in Eagles Mere, perhaps worth one thousand dollars. Mr. Karns purchased it at Treasurer's sale in 'BB. The amount ol the tax was $1.40, and was for the year 'BG. Mr Kirk claims that there was lumber sufficient on the ground to amply pay the amount of the tax es. This lumber was placed on the ground sometime in April or May 'BO. The assessment was made iu early winter, and the attornies for Karns advocate that personal prop erty placed on the land after the assessment could not be taken for the taxes. The attornies in the case are: Lallue Munson Esq. of Wiliiamsport and H. T. Downs, Esq. of Laporte, for plaintiff, Mr. Karns, and John J. Reardon, Esq , and H. T. Ames Esq., of William sport and Judge Ingham for the defendant, Mr. Kirk. The court completed his charge to the Jury at 10 a. m. Wednesday when the Jury was ushered into their respective room by tipstaff Hopper, and were absent just one hour to the minute. Their verdict was for the plaintiff, Mr. Karns. With the Karns vs Kirk ca9e dis posed of the court took up the caße of, First National Bank of Dusliore TS A. H. Zaner. This case is of much more importance than was the former. It involves $2,500 and res calls the Jacob Lorah matter as Treasurer of Sullivan county. In 1892 Mr. Zaner with bis associates on Jaoob Lorah's bond as County Treasurer, borrowed of the Dusliore bank the above mentioned amount for use of Mr. Lorah. It is alleged by the plaintiff lhat some time after completing tiiis transaction with the bank he (Mr. Zaner) assigned his property to his son, Lewis, and (laughter Amanda, hence the litiga tion. The altornies in this case aie: For the plaintitl—Judge Ingham, P. C. DeWitt and J. H. Cronin. For the defendant—James W. Piatt and J. G. Scouten. An exchange Bays that the Lehigh Valley Railroad Company will en deavor to bring the shops along the line to such a system as to build all the engines and cars needed on the system. Attention is now being given the work and it is expected that order will be evolved and the shops ran at a profit or at least pay expenses. This will be of value to all the towns where the shops are located. Appellate Court Judge The Bar of Lucerne county, at a i full meeting called for the purpose on June 4lb, 1895, unanimously . adopted the following address to the I Governor: To the Hon. Daniel H. Hastings, j Governor of Pennsylvania:— The members of the Bar of Lu # zcrne county respectfully commend the Hon. Charles E. Rice for ap pointment as one of tbe Judges of I the Appellate Court, and herein set forth the reasons that seem to them sufficient to justify their action. Judge Rice has served as Presis dent Judge of Luzerne county, con tinuously since January 1, 1880, and the record of his conduct and judg ment afTords the best and most con clusive evidence of his fitness for a higher place. He has shown him self to be a wise and upright judge, filling the scriptural standard, "quick to hear, slow to speak, and alow to wrath," He has known no creed, party, rank, station, influences nor prejudice, but has judged the people righteously without fear or favor. He is in the prime of vigorous man hood, has great capacity and dispo sition to work, is possessed of a judicial temper that enables him to hear and consider before deciding, and of rare ability to justify his judgement in opinions remarkable for clearness and strength. Of Judge Rice there is but one opinion where he is known. Other judges, lawyers and his fellow citizens re gard him as a conspicuously able, impartial and upright judge. He is a Republican, twice elected in a ; Democratic county, bui no one has J ever had reason to know from any judicial action to what party he be longs. We suggest that the great anthracite counties, in which a peculiar Inisiuesß is carried o», that furnishes much and important liti gation not understandable by Judges unlearned in its technicalities, but in which Judge Rice has had large ex perience, ought to have represen tation on the bench of the new court and that he is peculiarly fitted for the place. The Appellate Court will, as we believe, be useful to the State just to the extent that it com mands the respect and confidence of the bar and people, therefore no consideration save that of fitness for the place should properly be enter tained in selecting the first judgC3. Upon this basis we present with confidence the name of the Hon. Charles E. Rice, believing that he is without a superior among the Com mon Pleas Judges of the State, and that his appointment will meet the approval of the bench, bar and peo ple, and add dignity, learning and sttength to the Appellate Court.

LiU of Abe Lincoln by Judge WonglMM We etiriict the following brief recital of the career of Mr. Lincoln from one o! the speeches made by •Stephen A. Douglass during the canvass in Illinois, in 18L8: "I have known Mr. Lincoln for nearly twenty-five years. We had many points of sympathy when I first got acquainted with him. We were both comparatively boys; both struggling with poverty in a strange town for our support—l an humble school teacher in the town of Win chester, and he a flourishing grocery keeper in the town of Salem. He was more successful in occupation than I, and hence became more tunate in this world's goods. I made as good a school teacher as I could, and when a cabinetmaker I made the best bedsteads and tables, but my old boss said I succeeded better in bureaus and secretaries than jn anythiug else. But I believe that Mr, Linooln was more success ful than I, for his business soon carried him directly into the Legis lature. There I met him in a little time and I had sympathy fpr him because of the up-hill struggle we had in life. He was then as good at telling an anecdote as now. He could beat any of the boys at wrestl ing, eould outrun them at a foot race, beat them at pitching quoits and tossing a copper, and could win more liquor than all the boys put together, and the dignity and im>. partialy with which he presided at a horse race or a fist fight were the praise of everybody that was pres ent and participated. Hence 112 had sympathy for lino, because he wan struggling with misfortune, and so was J. Mr. Lincoln served with me or I with him, in the Legislature of 1835, when we parted.—He subsided or submerged for some years and, I lost sight of him. In 1840, when Wilmot raised the Wilmot proviso tornado Mr. Lincoln again turned up as a member of Congress flrom San gamon distrlot.—.l, being in the Senate of the United States was called to welcome him, then without friend and companion. He then dis tinguished himself by his opposition to the Mexican War, taking the side of the common enemy, in time of war against his own country. When he returned home from that congress he found that the indignation of the people followed him everywhere, until he again retired to private life, and was submerged until lie was again forgotten by his friends. He came up again in 1854, in time to make the abolition black republican platform, in company with Lovejoy, Giddings, Chase and Fred Douglass for the republican party to stand up." The above clipping is taken from the Sullivan Democrat of the cam* paign of 1860 and doubtless will re call to memory from some of our readers, the three-Bided fight that resulted in the success of the Re publican party and practically urited the entire North against the Dread Scott decission. It will be remem bered that Governor Packer and Forney of the Press were among the leading supporters of Douglass in Pennsylvania. The writer now recalls a telling speech made by lion. Ulysess Mer cur at Laporte, when he gave these friends of Douglass' full credit for honesty of purpose in their eudeavor to accomplish the saving of the Union with Douglass as their stands ard bearer. Recalling the events on the first inauguration of Lincoln. It should be remembered that there was no man more ready to aid in sustaining the president than his defeated oppo nent. Every true patriot rejoiced to see the noble stand taken by Douglass in his vindicating the im portance of a united and immediate rally to save the Union. * Farmers near Bethlehem, are much alarmed concerning the Hess ian fly, which has made its appear ance in the wheat fields for the first time in many years.
