large porllon Of The globe. Wherever il
has appeared, it has been the dispenser
of the choices, blessings. Every weapon

Of no avail. Where can you find nlidels
more powerful than Hume and GIbbon

Where can you find persecution more vln-

PROCLAMATION.

WHEREAS, the Honorable Nathaniel B. EIdred,
w President Judge Of the Court of Common Pleas,
in the 18th Judicial District consisting OF the counties
of Lebanon and Dauphin and the Hon. John G. Bucher
and Hon. William Dock, Associate Judges in Dau-
phn county, having issued their precept, bearing date
the 1s day of December, 1917, to me directed, for
holding Court of Oyer and Te,miner and General
Jail Delivery and Quarter Sessions of the Peace,
Harrisburg, for the county of DauphD, and to COM
mence on the Sd Monday of January next, being the
17h day of January 1913, and to continue weeks.
NOTICE IS THEREFORE, hereby given, to the
Coroner and Justices of the Peace and Cc nstabes of
the said county of Dauphin, that they be then and
there in their proper persons, at 10 o'clock, in the
forenoon of said day, with their records, inquisons,
examinations and their remembrances, to do those
things which to their Offices appertain to be done and
those who are bound in recognzdnces to prosecute

care of the whole body, if they had been general
laws, would have corrected. The direct tendency
of this practice, is to multiply the demand for 10
cal aws-a demand which has increased from year
to year, to an alarming extent, which no indus
try Of the General Assembly will be able within
the limits of an ordinary session to satisfy, if the
practice is continued. Is it not impracticable, in
great State like Pennsylvania to provide special acts
to meet all the different and changing views of the
citizens, of every borough, township and county
and if this were practicable, would not the policy
of establishing an infinite variety of different rules
for the same people, be exceedingly questionable,
and introduce great confusion and uncertainty =
Would it not defeat one great and beneficial object of
sound legislation, which is permanency of the laws!
Is there not true wisdom, and sound policy. in pre-
serving and Strengthening the unity of the Com
monwealih, and in maintaining uniform interests
customs and habits! 1t is true, there are shades
of difference in the condition and local circumstan-
ces of the citizens of separate districts of the Sate
but in an advancing and improving country, where
intercourse is so direct and the social relations Of
life are so generally diffused these will gradually
and certainly disappear under the influence of gen.
eral laws. We are one people without reference
to our ancestry, or the place of our birth. We are
all Pennsylvanans-we have the same constitution
Of government-the same common rghs-then
why should we not have the same common laws
In conclusion, permit me to assure you, gentle
men, that shall most heartily cooperate with you,
in all your efforts to advance our beloved Com
monwealth. and to promote the welfare of the
people.
