Resolutions of County Commissioners.
The eleventh annual convention
of County Commissioners in session
at Gettysburg adopted tho follow
ing resolutions : '
First. Rosolvod, that the Exoou
tive Committee of this convention
bo requested to urge upon our next
Legislature the pnssage of a law
making all taxes assessed upon real
estate a first lien upon tho wimo.
bocona. . That we rooommond the
passage of a law making tho taxes
upon all clnssos of property uniform
so thnt each class of proiorty may
bear its equal portion of the gonerul
burden.
Third. Thnt we recommend that
the Baker Ballot law bo so changod
as to give complete time for the
printing nnd distribution of tho bal
lots.
Fourth. That wo recommend tho
repeal of the December registration
or voters.
Fifth. That wo rooommond tho
passage of a law compelling nil per-
nous holding mortgages, judgment
and deeds, and who desire to have
them entered on record, that they
shall have thorn also registered in
the Commissioners' offico, with tho
add ross of the plaintiffs nnd defen
dants and parties to the mortgages
and deed, to enable tho authorities
to correct tho records, and to enable
the authorities to correct tho re
wards, and to enable them to collect
tax on meney invested.
Sixth. That the fee svstem should
bo abolished as much ns possible
and the counties and cities should
bo classified and salaries be paid
all county oillcinla.
Bovorth. That the law which
compels tho counties to pay to the
istato the whole of tho personal pro
perty tax should be changed, so that
the btato s portion only bo sent
the btato Treasury.
Thomas Whitson, of Lancaster,
read a paper ontho liabilities of the
oounty in dismissed cases and sum
mary convictions. IIo quoted the
law which requires tho cost of trial
of porsons who aro found innocent
to bo paid by tho county. IIo ex
plains that in most counties through
out the Commonwealth this appliei
only to such crimes or offences
are indictable under our criminal
coae, and not to include summary
convictiuus, such as drunkenness
and disorderly conduct, malicious
trespass, or train riding.
It must nooessHrily follow that
in a snmuiury proceeding where the
defendant has boon committed and
sent to jail for simplo imprisonment
in default of the payment of tines
aud costs of the magistrate or cou
stable, the Boards of County Com
missioner should not pay them."

has been shot. The only other per
son in the house was a daughter of
the dead woman, who was in the
same room and knew nothing of the
tragody until awakened soveral
hours after it occurred.
The oouplo were last soon shortly
bofore midnight, when Rogers
eeomed to lxi in good spirits. Their
failure to appear nt tho usual hour
in the morning aroused the suspic-
ions of tho dead man's brothers, who
live in an adjoining house, and thoy
broko open the door. On tho floor
of tho room they found the body of
tho man, while lying on the bod was
that of tho woman, with Lillian.her
eight-year-old daughter, by her
side, sound asleep. Both had boon
shot in the head. A pistol with two
chambers empty, was found under
the bed, and the police say that all
means of ingress to the' house were
tightly closed. Thcso circum
stances convinced tho police that
the man had killed tho woman and
then shot himself, but tho dead
man's relatives assert that two sus
picious looking men were seen loiter
ing about the house early in the
evening. The fact inclines them to
believe that both were murdered

PRINCIPLE VS. POLITICS.
The Art, Not the Inspiration Pertlment
Comments on a Jlecfnt Artlcln nnd
Vnworthy Conduct.
I am sorry to note that the
"Wantage Recorder" of last week
can not give mo orodit for oven a
shadow of good intention in explain
ing why Jackson Colo mado no ran
in Sandyston. 1 quote the language
of tho "Recorder" as follows: In
list wi e'es Pikk Countv I r 8 1 an i r
tioio appeared from Sandyston town
ship evidontly intended to nntago-
nizethe friends of Jackson Colo and
those of Elvin E. Smith tho Demo
cratic candidate for Assembly.
'iromwuat wo learn it was in
spired by some one desirous of tak
ing revenge on Mr. Smith in a poli
tical way, or jealous of him." Edi
tor Sticknny has an unfortunate fa
culty of tumbling to a conclusion in
a way that indicates a slight lack of
discretion, for instance, whon As
sessor Van Sickle happened in Dock-
ortown a few days beforo tho board
of Assessors mot nnd then displayed
an accura to knowledge of Decker
town valuations before the board
the editor jumped to tho conclusion
that John J. Stanton, and John J. Van
Sickle had n conferenco in which
Stanton confided the information
to Van Sickle. Nothing could havo
been further from the truth for the
two gentlomen did not even moot.
Tho indications were that the state
ment was pure guesswork based
upon the flimsiest of circumstantial
evidonce. So in this instance "what
he learned" probably came through
a crooked channel and led him to
jump to a conclusion that is quite as
far from the truth as Hell is from
Halifax. Itns only a simple state
ment of Elvin E. Smiths oonduct in
oarrying m his pockets tho tickets
of Jackson Cole, entrusted to his
enre, and tho consequent witholding
of them from Mr. Coles friends dur
ing the primary in 8-itidyston town
ship. That such oonduct should
antagonize Mr. Coles friends was
inevitable and I claim that it was the
act itself and not tho inspiration of
tho article that produced tho anta
gonism. Had it boon published for
rovongo as Mr. Stickney says, all the
facts instead of a part would ha vo
been given, nnd would have proved
jnuch more damoging to Mr. Smith,
than as it appeared. No, there was no
thought of revongo Mr. Stickney
nnd no inspiration as I am aware of.
As to jealousy, groat Iloavon ! jeal
ous of what, of him, Elvin E. Smith?
Kind Mentis hold us while wo faint
and if we die, remember that Editor
Stickney charged us with jealousy
of "him" Elvin E. Smith. This in
deed fills our cup to overflowing and
renders our humiliation complote.
The Recorders advice to "sink little
differences" agrees with our brand
of religion, but violated pledges lack
of business qualifications, and a be
trayal of a trust like smuggling a
frionds tickets, doos not figure in
our category as "littlo differences
especially when found in a candidate
for an office so important to the peo
ples interests as that of Assombly.
man. If a man cannot accept so
small a mission as tho placing of a
friends tickets on the board without
breaking his fuith, then he is not
worthy of tho greater trust and you
who wish may take the responsibili
ty of voting that he be sent on a
legislative mission where greater in
torosts are at stuke. As for mo, Mr.
Stickney, without any feeling of re
venge or jealousy, but with reasons
biisod upon good principles I do not
feel that I have any cause whatever
to vote that way and I do yon the
credit of believing, that if you knew
the facts as I do, you would do us I
have done, and vote as I shall vote

Another County Bridge.
A petition was presented at this
term asking that viewers be ap
pointed for a county bridge across
the- Lacfcawaxon river near its
mouth. This subject has been agit
ated for many years. No doubt tho
people at that point suffer great
inconvenience for want of a high
way across the river as the ouly
means now is tha aoquoduct. Tho
large boarding interests must be
seriously incommoded for want of
moans of transfer from the station,
and tho bridgo would no doubt
greatly facilitate thut enterprise.
The cost would neco.arily bo largo,
but the matter is in the hands of the
people to say whether it shall be
incurred.
