The report Of the Centennial Com
mittee on the Restoration of Independ-
ence Hall, in Philadelphia, shows that
the great and interesting work is pro-
ceeding with energy and judgment.
Portraits and histo ric relics are accumu-
latlpg, so that the building will possess
the most remark able and enduring in
terest to every patriotic American. In
fact, the arrangements fer the Centen-
nial are proceeding with such admirable
spirit apd skill that the good feeling of
the whRls country is secured, the cor
dial cooperation Of foreign nations is
enlisted, and all doubt of complete sue
cess has vanished. The contributions
OF Philadellhia aud the state of Penn
sylvania are enormous, and encourage
other States to generous efforts.

In as far as Offices in the gift Of po-
litlcal parties are concerned, we fully
endorse the doctrine ito the victor be-
kongs the spoils." This being the case,
we have, as rule, generally abstained
from commenting on the manner In
which Offices are usually filled. We
also believe in the doctrine of rotation,
with this proviso however, that 1t
should never be attempted to supercede
capable, reliable, well-tried officer by
one of doubtful ability or character. II
the latter is to be deprecated in politi-
ca affairs, how much more reprehensi.
BILE il attempted in matters independent
of party of politics.
There are Offices, strictly within the
gift of the people, in the filling OF
which ability, integrity, and past ser
vices should certainly outweigh all
other considerations. No individual
employer would be willing to part with
The services of an experienced, trusty
servant, merely to crafty the impor-
tpnities of a stranger;nor would the lat.
ter urge the discharge of the former on
account Of long-contlnued, faithful, pre-
ylons service. Yet this is precisely
what certain gentleman, J. P. Row.
land, in an advertisement published in
last yesk's Democrat" asks the
School Directors of Carbon County to
do, Because Mr. Hofford has credita.
ply flled the office of County Superin-
tendent for twelve copsecutive years, he
thinks that the School Directors should
vote for q change in his (R's) favor
What a pleal Because Mr.. Hofford has
faithfully and acceptably labored in the
cause of public instruction, therefore
shSpld the long-tried and we'll appreci-
ated present incumbent make room fol
the untried, and comparatively unknown
aspirantl
We hope the School Directors Of Car.
bon vii do nothing of the kind, bui
that, in appreciation of past services,
his eminent fitness, and thorough &C.
auaintance with the educational needs
OF our people, they will again unite in

The variety Of kisses introduced In the
Beecher business, says the Cincinnati
Commercial, is calculated to amaze
people who do their kissing without
analysis. There have been the par
oxysmal kiss, the inspirational kiss, the
impulsive kiss, the enthusiastic kiss,
and the holy kiss; the kiss of reconcile
alton, the kiss Of grace, mercy and
peace, and the kiss mutual. The other
kisses are reserved for the rebuttal and
re-rebuttal testimony.

The work sets forth In glowing CO.

the great city, and reveals with bold
hand the terrible crimes; the dark mys'
teries, and the hidden sins OF metropo-
Titan life. We are introduced into the

An Important Judicial Decision.

Harrisburg, Pa, April 14.--An inn
portant decision was filed this afternoon
by Judge Pearson, which virtually de-
prives the Commonwealth of half q
million dollars revenue. The Auditor
General had made claim of 1886 q
gainst the Kittanning Coal Company
for a tax on coal mined and purchased.
The company resulted to pay, and tho
case was submitted to the Court by
agreement. The defandent raised four
points. First, that the tax. imposed by
the seventh section of the act Of April
Gath, 1874, being upon coal mined or
purchased by corporations and not upon
coal mined or purchased by individuals
and partnerships, was pot uniform
within the first section of the ninth
article Of the Constitution. Second, that
anthracite and bituminous coal were of
different values according to quality
and location, and the statue, assuming
amount without regard to values, was
unconstitutional and void. I bird, the
imposition OF tax upon all coal milt
or purchased by the corporations, ,exce {
that used in their business, and the
omission to impose the tax ON the coal
of individuals and partnerships, was In
effect an exemption of the coal of the
latter. Such exemptions were prohibit
ted by the Constitution, and the
statues making them was null and void
Fourth, q corporate frapchise was no
properly subject to. taxation under ths
State Constitution.
Judge Pearson decided that the FIRST
second and fourth points, must' be an
swered in the negative, but that thu
third point was virtually well taken
Attorney General Dimmlck has appeal
ed from the decision. The concluding
paragraph Of Judge Pearson's opinion
was as follows:
, THE Legislature must bear In mint
that they no longer possess the unlimite,
power they formerly exercised. 1t /
their duty TO carefully study the mean
Ing of the Constitution and conform b
, its provisions. II is with regret that W
feel ourselves constrained to declar
that the tax in the present case canno
be collected, on account Of the uncon
stitutiOuaIlty of the law, but we are ia
from thinking that the money is peces
sarily lost t. the State. BY properl
prepared statue taxes may be impose
, to cover the tluib back TO the period @
the last payment, taking care to pro
perly classify the subjects aud reudetiD
theh uniform, without accepting an
, property whatever"

The Point Gained.

The Santa Barbara Press of the 3Oth
ult., in an editorial, has the follow
ing: "Los Angeles has gained an ad-
vantage over every other part OF
Southern California by getting right
down to the work of building rail-
roads. The very best immigrants go
as if by instinct to a railroad-building
community. These immigrants add
not only population to Los Angeles,
but what is of more importance by
far, they add fresh energy, stimu ulate
enterprise, and multiply the wealth of
the community, SO that in short
slime they will be able to build rail-
roads where they please, establish
manufactures, endow colleges, 0rna-
ment their city with costly public
structures and elegant residences, and
soon they will enjoy, as they shall de-
serve, the full tide Of prosperity, and
take rank as the second city on the
Pacific slope. Such is the work Of en-
terprise and pluck, and we admire It,"

Malicious Mischief.

For several months past Mayor
Beaudry and the residents on the hill
lands have been annoyed by some
unknown miscreants, who have inn
proved every occasion to work an in
jury upon the mains and reservoir
supplying that section Of the city with
water. The earth above the pipes in
4 number Of instances has been re-
moved and plugs withdrawn, stop
cocks turned or the pipe broken, thus
letting the water run to waste or inter-
rlpting the flow entirely for the time.
On last Monday the main pipe was
thus broken, and before it came to the
knowledge of Mr.. Beaudry the reser-
yoir was drained entirely dry, leaving
the people on the hills without drop
of water. Such stealthy acts Of mis-
chief can only be actuated by mean
spite, and the perpetrat0r would
as readily throw railroad
train from the track or burn
building with the same in
centive. This morning Mayor Beau
dry offers q reward Of 5000 for lnfor-
nation which will lead to the arrest
and conviction of the guilty party.
We hope this will bring the offender
to justice and that this much-needed
commodity may be dealt out to him
in large doses. There are number of
detectives on the lookout for the rae-
cal, and sooner or later he will come to
the turn which every long lane Is said
to have.I W

We learn that there is dispute
waging fast and furious in Bear val
ley over the ownership and possession
of the mine lately purchased by
Messrs. Myerstein and Baldwin. The
San Bernardino Guardian says they
are following oa ilIF
That he M may syG take @ Who R' has the power. and
he may keep who can."
The property is, 1t seems, claimed
by other parties, who assert their
claims so bsligerently that Colonel
Thomas, as representative Of Myer-
stein and Baldwin, found 1t necessary
to occupy the debatable ground with
ten musketeers. Baird and his party,
the disputants, threatened to dislodge
the rifemen at all hazards; and, at
last advices, were prepSring to move
ON the enemy's works. 1t is to be
earnestly hoped that the sober second
thought will prevail, and bloodshed be
avoided. Both parties can be very
rapidly brought to their senses by dis
patching Deputy Sheriff Wager to the
scene of action, with o few determined
deputies. George will, we venture To
say, do all the shooting necessary. l7'

Atmospheric Phenomena.

On Monday of this week we were
visited with one of those disagreeable
and pernicious winds known as
"Northers," although the direction of
the wind In this city was approxi-
mately from the West. This was
owing to the point on the mountain
range over which the wind crossed.
The thermometer fell on Monday night
below the freezing point, and in all
the lower levels throughout the limits
of the city there was q heavy frost,
and in many, If not in most, places of
this lower level ice formed during the
night. Yesterday the wind was less
violent, but the cold, for this season of
the year, was most unusual. Overcoats
were in requisition during the day.
The air, as usual during "Norther,"
was extremely dry, although the
barometer throughout the day and
last evening was low and indicated
rain. Notwithstanding this prognos-
tication, the heavens did not present
to the eye Of the observer the least
appearance Of rainfall.

morning for the Artesia sale was
crowded with expectant land-buyers.
1t is estimated that over hundred
were on the grounds during the day.
Since the conclusion of the last sale q
number of material improvements
have been made on the Artesia prop
erty, which include the $4,000 school
house, now nearly completed, and
several artesian wells, which were
found to be flowing finely. From the
roof of the school house the stars and

casion. The sale commenced between
