"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<l
Can sue] l a calamity he prevented? If !
so, it would be criminal folly to let those
wretches murder even one man or ilea !
troy a dollar's worth of property. Such :
meetings as that at Cooper Union are j
threats. If no attention is paid them
they embolden those who make them,
inflame their passions and incite their
fury. If suppressed, it is an interfer
ence with tlie right of free speech,
which is jealously guarded in this coun
try. The problem is a grave one. New
York and the whole country will be
fortunate if it is solved peacefully.—A>.

Now, 15th day of March, A. 11., 18110, the An
ditors of Foster Township, after having com
pleted the audit of the accounts of the officers
| of said township, and finding that some of the
' accounts, although just and true, are irregular,
ami not as they should lie, make the following
suggestions as to what they consider the duties
I of the officers of said township:
Ist. 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.
