Pike County, Pa. EDITORIAL. AN EXPLANATION. Some severe strictures Jiavin g baen made by a correspondent in a neighboring paper on our County Commissioners because the Audi tor's statement did not appear " in the only Damocratio paper published "in the county," it may be propor, not because the writer of the tirade is worthy of consideration, but that people may fully understand the sit uation, to give a history of the mat ter. When the newly elected County Commissioners had been dulv sworn in office they were handed the following communica tion. Milford, Jan. 4, 1897. To the County Commissioners of Pike County. Gentlemen : I hereby propose that all county printing not required by law to be published in two pa- .pera, be submitted to me that I ha ve an opportunity to offer proposals for printing same, or, that a reasonable amount Btaeh as may be lair ana proper for having suoh printing done in both county papers be al lowed by you, and that same be published in both county papers, as I believe it is customary in every county in the State to have county matters published in at least two papers of opposite pontics. Yours very respeotfully, J. H. Van Etten, Pub. Pike County Press. The minute book of the Comuiis sioners shows they took action as follows : " Commissioners Newman and Bensley met at 9 o'clock a. m. Feb ' '3rd. "Motion made by Mr. Newman to adjourn and meet at Mr. Heller's house to consider the matter of :printing county statement. Motion not agreed to by Mr. Bonsley. "Resolution offered by Mr. Bens- ley that the bid for publishing County Statement be accepted at seventy-five dollars, as received in sealed proposal, that being lowest bid received. J as. M. Bknsley. "Mr. Newman, president, calls meeting at the house ot Mr. Heller at 4.30 p. m. Present, Messrs. JSew man and Heller. ' "On' motion of Mr. Newman it was 'decided to tender the printing of the County Statement to the Milford Dispatch and Pike County Press to publish for the sum of seventy-five dollars each. "Newman and Heller in affirma tive. " Mr. Bensley was notified of this meeting but declined to attend. The above offer was made the same day to both papers by Mr Newman and it was accepted by the 4" Press, but the Dispatch refused to "entertain it. Since the act of 1834 requiring the annual statement to be published, it has as we believe appeared annually in the " only Democratio paper and been paid for at the regular - rates out of the oounty funds. ' 8 far a 4 we arj inform j! no Re publican ever demurred paying his share of the taxes for this expense although the money went into Democratic pocket. This is a free country, and men have the right to select the newtqwper they prefer. and when they have an organ of their own political faith.they should although it may bo iu the minority, have the privilege of reading in its columns suoh matters as pertain to the oouuty and which they are - taxed to pay for. The action of the Commissioners was emiueutly fair. They rocog- Eizod an honorabla principle that the minority have rights, and they alao remembered that they were the ' custodians of the peoples money ttnd that it should be as economi cally expended as possible. They hnd no intention to deprive Demo, crats of tho information. It was offered to the organ of tho demo cracy on precisely the snine terms as to the Frkhs. The Commissioners hnd they boon so disposed would have been fully justified in the eyes of the taxpayers, in accepting tho only bid offered for the printing ; the Dispatch having been invited to bid by thorn but refusing to do so. This the Dispatch had a porfoct right to do and we are not criticiz ing its action. Do the people of tho County place the "only Domocratic paper" on such a high plane as to exempt it from the ordinary busi ness rules? Do tho Commissioners enquire when letting a bridge as to the politics of the bidder? Do men in their every day business trans actions consider the politics of thosa with whem they deal r Is thero a Democrat in this county who will piry a follow Democrat twenty-five per cent more for the same article, rather thori buy it of a Republican V But the Commissioners in tho exer cise of a discretion given them by law to publish the statement "in one or more" newspapers generously proposed to add a reasonable amount to the usual price, and have it pub- lishod in both. If tho "only Demo cratic" refused this tho officials had only one option, that of giving it to the paper offering to do it for the least money. In addition to the above the Press proposed to print 200 extra copies each week without further charge so that any Democrat who might be desirous of procuring the statement could do so without being oompellod to "either borrow beg or steal." We do not believe there is a man in the County of Pike mean enough, "Piko" always excepted, to utter one word of condemnation against the action of the Commissioners in this matter. They have shown themselves as honorable, fair men and aa officials considerate both of the taxpayers and their money. PIKO," THE "PRESS" SALUTES YOU AND SAYS FAREWELL. A SINGULAR PROCEEDING, The Democrats of the county are 'all at sea" over tho fact thnt they do not see the Auditors' Settlement in the only Democratic paper pub lished in the county. We are con fronted by a Domooratio Board of County Commissioners compelling the taxpayers to beg, borrow or steal, (but nono buy it), a Republican publication, to see the financial statement of the receipts and ex penditures of Domooratio Pike county. It is the work of public of ficials, required by law to be made public.and such publicity could only have been had by advertising it in tho paper that circulates among the people of the county. We have had a copy donated to us and will in tho near future give the people of this county some of the main facts and features through tho columns of the Gazette. The above appeared in a nearby newspaper recently over the signa ture of that noble son of toil "Piko." It conveys the admission that the "Democrats of this county are all at sea." This fact has generally been known since last November, with the furthor fact that most of them have boon sadly troubled with the usual concomitant of going to sea, extreme nausea. In fact they were so sick that they spewed " Piko " out of tho positions of Commissioners' Clerk, Clerk to the County Auditors, and Auditor of the Accounts of the Prothonotary, for two of which he was an appli cant, and to the third appointed at the suggestion of a Republican judge, but in the latter case it was too mucu lor the, stomach ol even a veteran, and he promptly overruled the court and substituted another name. "Piko" " made him," he said " too tired." The Press loves "Piko" for the enemies to Democracy he has made in this oounty, and only hopes he will continue his missionary labors. "Piko" may congratulate himself, that, paradoxical as it may i-oeni, there will always be ten in his party if another single person can be found who will remain with him, for the other follow will be one and "Piko" will be the cipher. "Piko" is a noble Bjociinen cf manhood, his whole career, his ex ample in all aspects and respects is ouo which tho youth of tho country should carefully and conscientiously shun. He belittles every thing and every body in the county except himself, and that every body else is minnimous in doing for him. If "Piko" is so zealous for tho spread of the information contained in the Auditors' Statement why does ho not suggest the Dispatch. It will bo seen that ho carefully re frains from mentioning its name in the above article nor does ho filter liia library sweetness through tho columns of that pnper. The Democrats of this county we think, as a rule, are honorable, up right men, and not averse to buying what they want, and paying for it. "Piko" should not judge them by himself and when ho says they "borrow, beg or steal," and never buy a Republican publication ho is simply trying to drag other people down to his own low level. Wo do not know if Josh Billings knew "Piko," but he evidently knew some one just like him and thus describes his character. The loafer is a human leing who is willing to lie despised just for the privilege of abusing others. During his middle life he begs nil the tobacco he uses and drinks all tho whiskey he can at somebody else's expense. The loafer rather covets disgrace of all kinds and when a man gets so low down as this ho has got ns low down ns he can get without digging. Farowell " Piko," tho Press bikes plenty of soap and water and washes its hands now lost some ill odor may remain after handling such a fra grant subject. SHERIFF'S SALE.

IIMIilSBiMTCEIt Grace Church lias All the Feat ures of a Capitol Building, NEED OF INCREASED TAXATION, Measures Which Propane a Revenue from tho Grout Natural Resources of the Com. monwralth Opposition to Increasing the Burdens of the Farmers. Imperial CVrretKinoVnce.) Harrlsburg, Feb. 15. There has been a great transformation in the impro vised quarters of the legislature In the past few days, and Grace Methodist Episcopal church at the present time presents In Its interior all the features of a capltol building, so that when the legislature convenes again on Wednes day the members will find new desks have been provided, and everything established to add to their comfort and convenience. It Is to be hoped nothing further will hinder them In their work during the remainder of the session. One of the members remarked In a Joc ular way a few days ago that it looked now as though there had only been two things accomplished since the or ganization the election of a United States senator and the burning of the capltol. Hut there Is a determination to get down to business, and from present indication there is every reason to justify the belief that much good will be accomplished this session. There has been much discussion among the members of both brandies of the legislature on a number of ques tions of Importance to the state, and the deep Interests that Is taken, and the many plans proposed would lead a person to conclude that, after all, the fire was a blessing In disguise. One thing Is certain, It. will result In a more efficient Are department In Har rlsburg, and greater security will be given to the remainder of the property of the state on the hill, especially those which contain the important rec ords of the state. It is possible that, through the loss entailed, and the fact that a greater revenue will be required, a new source of revenue will be de veloped. Why Minerals Should be Taxed. It is contended by some of the mem bers that the citizens of Pennsylvania have made a mistake heretofore in not exacting a state tax on the more im portant minerals mined and produced within the limits of the state. They claim that the mining of coal has been made profitable to a number of persons who have taken their profits to build palaces in New York city and engage In enterprises In other states. The production of petroleum has been the means of securing great wealth to a number of persons, some of whom have used It to engage in manufactur ing on a gigantic scale in other states, and also used a part of their profits In the establishment of universities Indif ferent parts of the country. It Is claim ed that the development of these enter prises have been a great source of ex penue to the state, owing to the large percentage of foreigners that have been brought into the state, and through whom the percentage of crime has In creased, requiring an Increased ex penditure In the state In their Incarcer ation in the prisons. Then, as there Is more or less hazard connection with these occupations, there Is necessarily an increase In the number "of patients to the various hospitals belonging to the state. These, and the fact that con siderable expense is necessary in the surveillance over the various mining Interests by the state, and other feat ures, they believe, Justifies the state In demanding a state tax on coal, petro leum and other mineral products; and with these, in addition to the revenues now collected, there can be sufficient raised to build a new capltol building that will be a credit, and have a bal ance to devote to the improvement of roads, school purposes or anything else of Importance to Pennsylvania. Those who eppose the imposing of a tax on the various mineral resources of the state claim that it would only put a further burden on the consumers of the state, who are very large users of those minerals and who would have to pay this tax In the end, and Just how to eliminate this feature from the question is what is perplexing those who are advocating a tax on the prin cipal mineral elements. A bill recently Introduced imposes a tax on all beer and porter manufac tured or brewed in the state during the ensuing three years. The amount of the tax Is one-half of 1 per cent, upon ?ach gallon of beer, ale or porter brew ed within the state, and In this tax it s thought considerable revenue can be derived. There is a determined stand against any Increase of taxes on the farming Interests, which will have an influence on legislation increasing the taxes on farms, and no further burden Is likely to be imposed on this overburdened class. Additional Taxation Fropot.d. A bill was introduced by Mr. Bliss, of Delaware, imposing these addition al taxes, all of which shall be retained In the state treasury for the use of the commonwealth: One mill to be Im posed on personal property, except public loans liable to taxation under the act of 1S89 and 1891; one mill on the actual value of all capital stock and gross receipts subject to taxation un der these acts; 2 per cent on the gross receipts of every character and de scription received from business dono within the commonwealth during the next three years by Insurance compa nies of other states and foreign gov ernments, subject to the act of 1889; one mill on the par value, or actual value of the shares of all banks, sav ing institutions and national banks; 1 per cent on all annual net earnings or Incomes, subject to the act of 18a9; H per HOO of the clear value of every estate subject to the act of 18S7. This set is to be in force until Jan. 1, lltuo. Hauing the estimate on the tax real ized in 185 this would aggregate an fcicreaae of the revenue of 12,311,371. Among the bills introduced prior to the adjournment last week was one providing that every person entitled to a vote who failed to east a ballot at any of the elections be subject to 1 line of 5. Mr. Keller's bill to grant an appro priation of $300 to purchasing suitable medals for the members of the Juniata cavalry, which afterwards became Company A, First Pennsylvania cav lry. in commemoration of their being tbi first company to offer service to tioveruor Curtin in the breaking out of the civil war, will be contested by a company f.-om Mifflin county, who have the records to show that they nave very strong claims for this honor. It is thought that there Bhouid be an Investigation of these claims durlnj tnis seoEiun to ascertain what author ity they bave for special recognition, and this be done while the principals, lieiieral John P.

Opponed to Mori tig the Capltol The bill Introduced by Senator fhomas proposing the removal of the rapitol to Philadelphia has few friends, the general Bcntlinent among the mem bers favoring its retention in Harris burg. Thev reullze that there Is no time to lone In the consideration of a question of this character, and the ptate has nothing to gain and much to I lose in the removal. , The most important committee since the lire Is now considered the commit- j tee on buildings and grounds, in both senate and house. Heretofore this committee hus been conspicuous for the little amount of work that was re quired, but the destruction of the old capltol building has given them new Importance. There has some friction and Jealousy developed as a result. In the senate there are but ten mem bers, while there are 25 in the bouse. The fact of the little importance of this committee led to the appointment of a number of anti-Quay members. A resolution was offered, It Is thought for the purpose of taking the power out of the hands of the present com mittee on buildings and grounds and substituting another to be selected and appointed by the chairman of the house committee on public buildings, together with the governor and lieu tenant governor, state treasurer, au ditor general and speaker of the house, to constitute a special committee, whose duty It shall be to consider and adopt plans and specifications for a new state capltol building, etc.. and further provides that all repair work shall be by American citizens, and as far as practicable all material shall be of Pennsylvania product. This pro voked a session of the Joint commit tees of a very exciting nature, and the result was that the resolution was tabled and an arrangement made for the chairman of the committee to meet the governor and discuss the subject with him. It Is altogether probable there will be some spirited contests in these committees before the subject Is disposed of. lloomlng th Candidates. Within the past few days the friends of several prospective candidates have started a boom for their favorites for important places on the hill. There are many aspirants for Governor Hastings' position two years hence, and among those recently reported who would be willing to serve the state In this ca pacity are Congressman-elect Connell of Bcranton and Congressman Lelsen- ring, and there Is a movement on foot among the old soldiers to have Gen eral John P. Taylor put In the race. General Wiley, Speaker Hoyer, Auditor General Mylin, and many others, are spoken of In connection with the gov ernorship, and from present indications there will be many candidates to se lect from In the next contest for gov ernor. It Is given out that John Wana- maker will be the candidate of his fac tion for governor. It Is understood that General J. P. 8. Gobin will be a strong candidate for auditor general, There does not seem to be many appli cants for the position of state treas urer. Few seem to care for the exper ience and responsibility connected with that olllce. There are only two persons whose friends are active in endeavor ing to secure the nomination, and these are It. H. Shindel, cashier of the City bank of York, Pa., and Mr. Beacon of Greensbuig, and in the canvass of these gentlemen there is not likely to be much friction. There are frequent rumors of the likelihood of Governor Hastings securing a place In McKIn ley's cabinet, although he denies that he Is a candidate for the position. Sev eral persons have visited Canton re cently, It is thought In his Interest. In the event of his being tendered a cabinet portfolio, and his acceptance, It Is thought a great change will be made In political circles. It Is not likely there will be an ef fort made to remove the debris of the old capltol building and steps taken towards the erection of the new for some time. The adjournment of the senate until the evening of Feb, 22 will postpone any action In that direction. Disposition to Mora Cautiously. There is a disposition among the members to move cautiously in the beginning of an effort to construct a new capltol building. It seems to be the desire to consult the people gen erally, and if possible ascertain their desires as to the amount that should be expended, and not build a structure that would be unpopular among the majority. There will be little time for holidays for the remainder of the ses sions, and to get through with the work outlined at anything like the usual time for adjournment will re quire steady and active work from this on. It should be born In mind that among the bills usually left to the last Is the general appropriation bill. It rhould get the precedence, even if oth er measures should be sacrificed when there is time to spare. Many lmpor tan arts have already been proposed, and these should be acted on promptly and brought before the people for in vestigation, liut at this stage of the proceedings n l a single one has been reported and placed on the calendar, while many that have been talked about have not been Introduced even. It therefore becomes our lawmakers to be exceedingly lndustriuus during the re mainder of the session. The public building committee of the house and senate have been investi gating the cause of the cauitol nre. Of the witnesses examined the major ity conclude that the tire originated from the open hearth In the lieutenant governor's room, and it communicated under the floor. During the investi gation it developed that the state had adopted but few Are precautions. No efforts had ever been made to organise a fire brigade, and little, if any, extin guishment material had been supplied. Hy thoue who were familiar with its condition it has been regarded for years as a tinder box, and to them it is a wonder that it had not burned several years au. Mow aiuk for trll Auihur.
