I READ the c ommunication on tliefirst page of this issue from Win. B. Estell, formerly of town. "ARE the Tariff Reformers afraid j to stand up and be counted T" asks I the old whig organ of New York. At I the last Presidental election, when the Democratic ticket was knifed by the aforesaid whig organ, the Tariff Reformers stood up and were counted. The count showed them to be in the majority by 100,000. And the Tariff' j Reform ball is still rolling. THERE is whisperings around Wash ington to the effect that the Republi cans will pass no tariff reduction bill this session, because at the end of the session the treasury surplus, it is ex pected, will have been turned into a deficiency. The rumor may possibly be true about no bill being passed, but if so it is partly because the Re publican protectionists have not been able to throttle the demand for Tariff Reform among their Republican col leagues. The cry for free raw mater ial is becoming a loud one, particularly from the Eastern manufacturers. Re cently Senator Hale, who has been as pronounced a protectionist as Blaine, presented a long petition from Hew England manufacturers, asking that raw materials used by them be ad mitted free of duty. THERE has been recently, and is now, marked activity in the ranks of the Democratic Society, of Pennsyl vania, of which useful organization nearly every Democratic Club in the State is a member. Vigorous steps are being taken to disseminate true Democratic principles. The organi zation itself is a part of the National Association of Democratic Clubs. This represents neither men or factions, but the Democratic party. Every day primary societies are send ing the names of their officers and members to the Secretary of the Pennsylvania Society. A general committee has recently been formed, consisting of one delegate from each club in the State. They report that in no single district in Pennsylvania, where there has been a live, earnest, well supported Democratic Society, has there been a failure to increase the Democratic vote. The Jett'erson Democratic Society, I of Ereeland, will celebrate the birth | of Thomas Jefferson by a public meeting in Yannes' opera house next Saturday evening; and it is expected that as many of our citizens as can do j so will be present. Working Out Road Taxi's. The greatest abuse connected with the pres ent system of road repair—which has been very j freely commented upon in the columns of the Herald— is that resulting from the provision of ' the old law allowing the working out of road taxes on the part of those to whom they are assessed. This provision is n relic of what may be con sidered remote antiquity—not merely "before the war," to use nil elastic expression long in fashion, hut even anterior to the adoption of present form of government, when money WUB waive ana a system ot Darter was in vogue in all rural neighborhoods instead of the more advanced methods of buying and selling long prevalent. On this crude idea was based the legislation which remands the whole work of road repair to those who are unskilled in such work and a laise only aim is often to put In time regurd less of tlie effect upon the highways. Some one proposes that this system, instead of being swept away at one stroke, shall be in deflnitely perpetuated by the issuing of bonds in exchange for labor and material to bo used in tlie work of macadamizing towpship roads. it is possible that some system of supervision j could be devised which would gunruntec that such an exchange would he fair anil just to the ) public, bni it must bo a different experience I from that of tlie past to realize thai result. In- | lurior material and labor inadequate to the purpose would almost certainly be given as an equivalent for the bonds, and the old evils of 1 working out road tax would be repeated.—Nor- | listown llcrald. The Nation Must Solve This IJuestion. , Cooper Union Hall, New York, was} crowded one evening recently with men ' who believe in the overthrow of all or-1 paimed government and the establish- I "tent of universal license like that of tile l'aris ( ommune, which reign of ter ror the meeting was held to commem orate. llie meeting of the fearful epi sode was told by one of the speakers and received with applause, which was re newed when he predicted that tire same thing would occur in tlie United States. The chairman of the meeting express- j ed tlie hope that it would not he long be-1 fore the uprising to which they all looked forward so eagerly would occur, and the crowd indulged in gleeful anticipa- 1 tions of a time when the streets of New York will be filled with dead bodies, their gutters run with blood and their buddings be consumed with fire. 11 n l ? ah, talk now, and so long as it is all talk it will ,io no harm; but it went beyond talk in Paris during the reign of the. Commune; it went beyond talk in Chicago when the llaymarket riot took place, and it is fondly expected by thous ands of men anil women in New York talk there B °° n ' l K ° be >' on.

When the Collector is authorized to col lect more than one tax, or kind of tax, a separ ate account must be kept for each, and when i payment is made by him to the Treasurer the I amount paid on each tux, special or regular, I should in every case lie mentioned. The Col- J lector, not being authorized to act as Treasurer, ' should not receive as money, orders drawn on ■ the Treasurer. ! 2d. The Treasurer should keep a separate ac- I count for each fund, and in no case apply the money collected for one purpose to another. 3rd. The Supervisors should, as nearly as possible, keep within tlie regular tax levy, and at the beginning ot each year take such steps as will, during the current year, settle up all accounts of the previous year, ami thus pre vent the accumulation of stale claims and de mands. Recapitulation of the present condi tion of the finances of Foster township, showing the present indebtedness as far as can be ascertained. DR.
