The MofTr1t Punch law

We have always considered this
bill an outrage upon the people of the
State, and gross violation of the
constitution. 1t is class legislation
Of the most oppressive and offensive
kind. 1t is especially an outrage
upon the dealers and people of the
towns and cities. That we are not
wrong in this opinion the following
remarks from the Norfolk VirYiuian
will pOintedly Illustrate:
"The discrimination it makes be-
tween the cities and counties of the
Commonwealth is one of its most
OdiOus features. BY the provisions
of this bill the Auditor is required to
supply the register first TO Tie cities
and then to the countless the reve-
Due commissioners are required to
put up the registers as soon as re-
ceived by them, III their respective
localities, and as soon as these regis
ters are put up the laE goes in force
in that particular locality and the tax
begins The practical result is that
the liquor dealers Of Richmond have
been paying heavy tax on their
sales since the middle Of Septer. Der
amounting to about $I5 600, while
the liquor dealers of the counties
have noc us yet been called upon to
pay a cent, and cannot be until the
registers are pm. up. And yet article
l0th, section Isl OF the constitution
provides that Taxation, whether i'm
posed by the State, county, or cor>
pOrate bodies, shall be equal and
uniform. We submit that there is
neither equality or uniformity in re-
quiring the liquor dealers in Rich~
mond or Norfolk to pay a tax on his
sales in October, while the liquor
dealers in llenrico or Norfolk county
has none to pay Cor that month.
The same observation applies to
Petersburg and all other cities and
0ud towns in the State, aud if the
liquor dealers were to carry the wrong
into the courts, every unequal dollar
of taxes they have paid would be re,
funded. -PeterSI,ng Post.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

A happy event tool; place at II m. Wednes-

in the holy bonds of matrimony of Mr.. Oscar
Buckalew of Tucson Arizona Territory, and
Miss Adra A. Stephens oithis city, by Kew.
F. L. Hitler. Mr.. Buckalew was former res
gent OF Columbia county, but left for the West
about fourteen years ago. He resided a great
er part of the time ut Tucson, at which place he
is engaged IN business at the present time. In
the early settlement of the Territory he was in
the government employ, and while making
rip across the plains was waylaid by the In
dians. at which time he barely escaped with
leg. He has been a member OF the Legislature,
was Clerk Of the Supreme Court under Judge
| Titus, now deceased, and Clerk of the Court of
| Pima county. Mr.. b. came to this city few
months ago partly on business but chiefly to
visit an only sister, his mother and two broth
ers having died during his absence. During
his soiourn here, the enchanting arts of Cupid
being on the alert, caused him to yield to its
allurement which resulted as above stated AT
ter the wedding ceremony was performed the
happy couple with number of friends who
were present partook of an excellent dinner pro-
vided for the occasion. They left on the l;o5
train on the Lehigh Valley road for San Fran

Diego, from which place they will have to
stage it about five hundred miles before reach

FRIDAY AFTERNOON AT THE NORMAL SCHOOL.
Last week attended the usual Friday after
noon exercises of the Normal School, which
consisted of recitations in English and French,
music, compositions, contests in elocution, gym
nastics, drawing, geometry and arithmetic.
Nearly all the departments of the school were
represented an improvement ] think,on the old
custom Of having rhetorical exercises merely.
The pupils were appointed judges of the con-
tests and by vote expressed each his or her opin-
ion as to which performance was the better,
several points being indicated upen which they
were to pass judgment.
This is for the purpose of developing capac
ity for accurate, critical judgment. | was
pleased TO note on one occasion, when the pop
ular verdict seemed to be rather superficial,
founded upon the general appearance of the
completed exercise upon the board, rather than
is actual merits, that DR.. Griswold arose and
di1sented from it, pointing out slight short-com
ings that the pupils had overlooked.
They will be likely not to form so hasty a
Judgment another time.
The contest in gymnastics was especially in
| teresting, in which fifteen lads and lasses o
| fourteen or thereabouts beat, in the bean bag
exercises the same number of the most stall
wart young man in the school. When The
tally was read, thirteen to four in favor of thu
younger class a round of applause burst fortl
although, As a rule, applause is prohibited.
| Tha IN, in
tsresting The competitors were appointed
| from the Junior and senior classes by their class
mates. 1t was difficult TO decide which wa
| the better performance each was so good. 4
feature that / noticed with pleasure was III
critics report. Each week pupil is appoin
errors in pronunciation that he or she oh
serves during the week, and these are read with
the name of the blunder Friday afternoon.
In this way pupils are led to be careful ant
elegant in their speech.
DR.. G.. endeavors to have the lessons taugh
put in practice and he himself practices wha
he teaches. am convinced that few, if any
schools have at their head 30 able and ettcien
man as DR.. G. whs is highly educated, GU
tured, conscientious and model Of christian
gentleman. One of the teachers remarked Il
me. alt seems to me that all the boys ant
girs under his charge must make good me
and women" The work presented to us lat
Friday spoke of efficiency in every departmer
and think our citizens would be entertaine
and gratifed should they attend more general
these weekly exercises and they would thereb
more thoroughly appreciate the advantages a
iorded them in having 80 good school in the
midst.

The Result of a Neglect of Duty.

The borough auditors of Chester Springs,
Cambria county, have got themselves into
peck OF trouble, through their own negli-
gence. 1t seems, says the Johnstown Trib-
une, that their failure to comply with the
law requiring them to publish the annual
statement of the receipts and expenditures
of that district has induced some OF the
taxpayers to enter suit against them, and
the chances are that the fine which attaches
to neglect of this nature will be imposed. 1t
is rather rough on the auditors, but they
should understand their duty properly, and
then there will be no risk of this kind,
There are several boroughs and townships
in this county where the law is a nullity as
far as making an nual statements public are
concerned, and it behooves those interest
ed to attend to this matter, or they may like
wise suffer a like ordeal.-Jrseyshore Her
