Attention Auditors I
In relation to th February elec
tion the new ballot law specifies that
for each district a fao simile of tho
Auditors' signatures must bo print
ed on the legal ballots, the samo as
th commissioners' -.signatures on
the ballots in November. The' au
ditors of tho boroughs and, town
ships nhould without any delay have
their .eiguatures I'lcclrotyp'ed and
have them ready for tho printer of
tho tickets. This can bodono any
time during' the present month.
Ballots printed without the signa
tures of tho auditors would be ille
gal. '
Tho advortisomont of tho New
York Sun will be found in another
column of the Post. The Fun is the
greatest " newspaper (intellectually
speaking) published in tho Uuited
States to-day. It is not only great
but generous and doesn't ask coun
try papers to print a whole pogo ad
vertisement for the gracious privi
lege of exchanging with it. This is
a very importaut distinction, for no
country newspapor can afford to
got along without the Sun, but bo
fore we comply with the demands of
some of tho other metropolitan
journals wo will read almanacs foi1
1893.
. The decision of Judge Woodward,
of the Luzerne courts, against the
right of a supervisor to employ mem
bers of his own family or teams own
ed bx themselves in the work of re
pairs should be generally known.
The laws very properly forbid pub
lic officials from profiting by tlioir
owr. delegated authority in the mut
ter of contracts, and this decision
K.ie most of tlm jndp-es of the State
uu . . -
were the matter properly brought
before them. Persons violating so
plain a principle of law cannot legal
ly collect tho money alleged to bo
duo for such service. Tho decision
is in harmony with tho law as well
is with common sense, and its en
forcement would aid in preventing a
very common abuse in case of suc h
officials.
"Juy Gould's father," (Son. Jasper
Packard says in the New Albany
Tribune, "was a farmer and kept a
dairy of twenty cows. Jay used to
drive theso cows to water and help
his sisters in milking them. H was
a littlo chap and went bare-foot e 1
and stubbed his toes like other boys,
and got thistles in his feet and had
'stono bruises.' Ho didn't like it,
and asked his father's m iiiissi :i to
go somewhere and work mornings
and nights to pay for his board
whilo ho went to school. Not every
boy who went bare-foot oil and drove
cows, and got thistles in his feet
anI ha 1 'stono bruises' becomes a
millionaire, as we know from ex
perience. But for tho one who
does, wo shall always, we trust,
have something to say besides harsh
and cruel words of denunciation and
censure, when nt the worst, ho only
accomplished what other men try
to do."
As wo are impressed tho printing
of tho ballots for tho spring election
will bo a job quite as tedious as it
was for the November election, the
only difference being tho sizo of the
ballot. The law requires tho samo
number, twice soventy-fivo for every
fifty voters, and an equal number
of specimen ballots in all somo
whoro between fourteen and fifteen
thousand. They must bo gummed
the same as in November, and the
total amount of press work, for the
whole county, will bo about the
same. And in all probability some
districts will delay longer than oth
ers in ordering tho printing. There
being seventeen districts in the
county bo many forms will have to
be put in typo and an equal number
of endorsements giving the name of
tho district. In November tho bal
lot was tho samo for the whole
county. The amount of typo setting
. ... . ... .1
work will be fully one-third more in
February than i:' November, be-
ause the body of the ballot is dif
ferent in every district, which was
inot tho case in November.

The same liberal provisions accord

use of tickets, will be in effect for
these tours.
A series of fivo will be ruu to Flor-ida-T-January
31st, February 11th

Not so Heavy as Before.
Tho travel during tho past holi
days was comparatively light com
pared with that of former years, and
to this cause can mainly be attri
buted the railroad company not is
suing excursion ticket. It has been
customary during holidays for the
issue of tickets at greatly reduced
rates, and many were thus induced
to travel who would not have done
so had tin regular rate been charg
ed. This year no tickets were sold
at excursion rates, and inquiry made
resulted ill the informal ion that it
was tlio result of an agreement made
between th Pennsylvania, the Phil
adelphia and Reading und flic Balti
more and Ohio railroads not lo
place excursion tickets ou sale, and
the passenger Iral'iic in consequence
W'as comparatively light. There is
also a rumor to the c !Vi i I. that in the
near future mileage books will not
bo sold mill all others called in. it
seems that the railroad coinpanits
prefer hauling less passenger ami
at a bolter rati'.

Coce, Josie, Take Your Med
icine. Thie weeks ngo wo printed an ar
ticle the Post charging crooked
ness 'j.i tho county ticket printing
for tho November election. Tho
facts as stated proved our allegation
as plain as the noso on a man's face,
and we had hoped that tho Commis
sioners would coma forward and
make a clean breast of it by admit
ting tlmt they had been entrapped,
but although they have repeatedly,
Kingly, and collectively, admitted
that t.?iat was tho case, they hesitate
about' suyiug so in print, knowing
full wU that J. A. Lumbard of the
Tribunt, the ono they would have
to score, is a man who is as sly as
a fox, tricky as a mule, merciless as
a hyeba, nnd as utterly devoid of
couscieuce as a frozen turnip. They
bogged of him in tho name of justice
ami right, and in tho confidence
they had bestowed in him, to come
and lead them out of the trap by
disgorging sotuo of tho money he
had imljeed them to pay out unjust
ly to him. Ho refused to do it, and
on Thursday of last week he apolo
gized by casting still deeper reflec
tions upon them by alleging that
they had told him to "piesent his
bill of xpensel and bo allowed a
reason aM) compensation !" This,
the Commissioners tell us, is utter
ly false, for it would put an entire
different construction to tho matter.
He Bovuscs us of not wishing to
havo the Job of printing tho tickets.
None but a fool would tako a job of
printing jbefore he know the extent
of it, an $ as Mr. Lumburd did it ho
is entiUe'A to another afliix to his
.. .., '.it' i.vH.'t ,,j:vi)A,. 'wu,,
mouwoalth had not given out tho
form and sizo of the ballot, and un
til he did so no professional printer
would think of ordering paper for
tho same. Mr. Lumbard did how
ever. He ordered 2,700 pounds of
paper at 0 cents per pound, size
52x22, which ho could not use, but
"held the Commissioners for tho
same." This is a rnmai kahlo state
ment. If the Commissioners paid
for this paper it belongs to them.
Pray tell us what have tliey done
with it. ? If you cut off 22x2S inches
the size tho ballots were; after
wards printed what did you do
with tho other 21 inches, or nearly
half of tho bulk f This is a remark
able break for an experienced liar'
"Millliu county paid so much, Ju
niata so much and 1'iiioti so much."
Vou know too well, Mr. Lombard,
how misleading such statements are
to those iuexperieii I in our craft
Wo rate our jobs by the thousand
sheets, and why did you not tell Un
people that Millliu county paid tin
average of .si 1 per thousand, Centre
12, Northumberland 11, I'nioii .-
ami so on, and that you bull
dozed tho Commissioners of Snyder
county into paying you almost S.M
per thousand ! Some of our sister
counties had mock i led ions an d that
necessitated tho printing of double
tho amount of regular I ickels. e
know that Rro. Schoch of the MifV-
unmirg ltlcurmth printed 2'..500
tickets for 220. Theso facts are in
controvertable. Tlio Commission
ers had a bid of 10 per thousand in
their oiliee from the Williamsport
parly, v hen, three days before tho
letting was to close, Lumbard ap
proached them mil tin y him as he
alleges, Mini under the hypocritical
mask of friendship, induced them to
enter into an agreement that cost
the county :!00, whereas it shonl 1
have cost only 150, and tho auditors
last week accepted tho bill because
a stir-charge would cause tho victims
to suffer while the guilt y one escaped.
Ono word more. Wo got 50 for
printing tho election proclamation.
That was our price. Wo had tho
privilege of making our readers a
