BLOOMSBURY, PA, FRIDAY MAY Is, 1888


AT the recent session of the Court of
Judge Livingston gave the following in
structions to the constables Of the county,
and as the law is precisely the same for
Columbia county, it would be well for the
constables here to read them: "While the
office of constable is not a lucrative one, it
is one of honor and responsibility. In
some of the better districts of the county
better officers have been elected but in
others there is room for Improvement.
A constable should be temperate and even
tempered, and see that the laws are faith
fully executed without fear, favor or af
lection. If the duties are not properly
performed, constables are recreant to and
violate the trust reposed in them. 1t is
the duty of constables to see that the polls
ale kept open so that citizens may exer-
else their right of voting. AS to the viola
ton of the liquor law they may come
before the court by remonstrance of citi-
zens of the district by information, by the
knowledge of the constable himself. or by
complaint of citizen made before JUS
tice. The rule is rather to shield and aid
the liquor sellers than to assist the officers
to bring any violaters to justice The
constables must look after violators of the
liquor law single handed. The consta-
bles during the last year, with one or two
exceptions, under their solemn oaths.
made their return to this court that there
were no violations of tbo l;o,or 1or- =;
their respective districts. Constables who
fail in their duty in returning those
who violate the liquor law are liable
to fine and imprisonment and to be pros.
ecuted for perjury. 1t is the duty of the
constable to visit all places where vinous,
malt or spirituous liquors are sold, and the
| constables will remember that the law re.
quires them to enter such places as con
stables, and that law must be obeyed.

1t is common practice with middle
aged people to sigh for the return of the
good old times ''when things were what
they seemed'-thOse times when silk goods
were not clever mixtures of linen and iute
stlftened up with gum to give them weight
and lustre, but were honest throughout in
woof and web; when stockings sold as
regular-made were as represented and not
found on examination to be overseamed by
hand instead of woven into shape in looms,
as by right they should be. Thus through
out the whole catalogue of ''store," the
querulous and unreasOning make totally
erroneous assertions as to the superiority
of the old over the new.
The truth Is that at no period of the
worlds history have all sorts of dry goods
been so superb as to quality or so moder-
ate as to price as they are in this, our day
and generation. A moments thought will
convince all reasoning people that in con-
sequence of the increased production of
raw material and the improved system OF
manufacture the result must be a better
! class of goods and lower prices than could
