IMPORTANT TO VOTERS.
Matters Which Demand Their !

Matters Which Demand Their Attention
The tax duplicates are in the hands OF
the collectors. Every voter should see to
it for himself that his tax is duly paid.
October 2 is the last day to attend to this
in time to qualify for the coming prcsidcn-
tial election, but there should be no need
less delay. The earlier it is attended to
the better. Voters should attend to the
payment of their taxes themselves. Some
courts of the state hold that this is esscn-
tial and that the tax paid by committees
is void and will not entitlc the holder of
such receipt to vote. 1t is only fair and
patriotic, as we'll as a reasonable precautiOn,
for voters to attend to this duty for them
selves. The collector for this city sits
from 81 to 9p. m. in the commissioners
Office at the court house to receive taxes
aud every voter should visit him and get
his own receipt.
Naturalizations also can be effected up
to October 2, to enable the naturalizcd
alien to vote for president and those who
arc entitled to it, or who know and are
interested in others entitled to citizenship,
should give their attention to this i'm
portant matter. Court will bc in session
all of this week.
1t may happen that some person duly
qualified to be registered has been left off
wilfully or carelessly by the assessor of
his district, though the voter complied
with all the legal requirements. In such
eases the law provides remedy. 1t
should be taken advantage of before OctO-
bcr 2. Tho voter can make oath to his
grievance, and upon presentation Of the
matter to the court, it is bound to take
cognizance of it, to cite the complainant and
assessor to appear before it, and if the
complaint is well founded, tho registry
will be corrected accordingly.

know who he was Or-wly lie was there,
and without bestowing upon him the
sligtest symptom Of recognition, passed

ito readiness and fun the notion that they

attractive as he lacked the graces Of an ac-
cOmplished orator, both in voice and gesture
He was more effective in the synod, in the
ministerial association, in the Bible society,
and in missionary work, than in tho pulpit.
His equable temper, unprctending manner
and knowledge of almost all subjects for
general interest made him favOrite with all
classes of people and his great charity
and tolerance Of the views Of other Chris
tan sects, was the passport by which, he
gained ready admittance to Protestant fam
lilies and Protestant pulpits of other de-
nominations. As home missionary in
scattering the Bible broadcast among
the people, he has perhaps labor
cd harder and accomplished more
than any other of his fellow ministers. For
many years past he was the efficient prcsi-

In q bad Plight.

Republican orators are very much em-
barrassed fOr. lack Of ammunition as is
proven by the sort they have to put up
with. Itturns out SO often to be more
dangerous to themselves than to their
enemy, that they have reason to lie very
much discouraged. At the outset Of the
campaign they thought they could 60
back to the last presidential election and
show that General Hancock was in a
dreadful conspiracy of some kind to
overthrow the government, and they ex-
pected to prove it by a letter from him
to Sherman, which they therefore loudly
and rashly called for. 1t came and made
them very sick indeed. And they are
sick again over the result of their claim
of the last few weeks that General Han
cock was in another conspiracy this
time designed to ruin the government
financially by securing the payment of all
sorts of rebel war claims.
They even went SO far as to name
some of the generals partners i'm the en-
terprise; and when the days passed on
without his being heard from they were
bold enough to declare that hc dare not
speak out, and they went on with their
vOciferatiOn about the rebel claims in
such frantic way that they really got
some people TO think that there might be
something in it. They proceeded
to work it up el;,boratcly Us their chief
weapon Of Offcnse against the DemOcra-
cy; and it was almost incredible that
they should bc SO rash when it was cvi-
dent that Il declaration from General
Hancock of his hostility to ali claims for
losses made by those who had been in
rebellion would utterly destroy the cam
paign argument and throw into confU-
sion those who had sought 10 use il. And
that is just the plight the party is in
now. General Hancock S declaration Of
his opinion upon the propricty Of rebel
war claims is SO emphatic as TO leave no
possible ground for maintaining the
charge that hc f;tvOrS them. Its sauthOrS
are compelled to withdraw ii with the
best grace they can command which is
with many of them very poor indeed
while others come squarcly up to
the mark and freely confess
that on this subject IiancOck's S
record is clear, and suggest to their
party the necessity of pressing the fight
on other issues. But it is Il very en-
barrassing position for Il party to bc in
and a very dangerous one. Fate and stu
pidity together are likely to defeat the
Republicans without much Democratic
effort.

Should Wealth Control the Contest

Springfield Republican, Ind. Rep.
In the earlier and better days of the Re-
publican party Republicans secuted the
idea that wealth here and wealth there
ought to decide the weight of a section in
national affairs. This was the favorite
argument of Shareholders, who paraded
the exports of the South and its long tax
lists as proof that the South was tho lead
ing section. The argument had no proper
ground then, it has none now. The true
prosperity of one section is the prosperity
of all sections. Senator Conkling has pros
pered at the head of the machine in New
York politics by appealing to the partisan
selfishness of men. The same policy can
not be successfully spread over the country
in fighting national campaign.

COLLEGE.
Stabbing Affair in Bart.

An alteration occurred between William
Mimm and Wesley Herr last Sunday
evening near the church in the village of
Georgetown, Bart township. During the
affray some outsider handed Mimm
knife with which he stabbed Herr in the
side. Herr bled profusely and was taken
to the residence Of DR.. John Martin where
his wound was dressed. The doctor pro-
nounccd the cut severe, but not necessarily
dangerous.
Mimm was soon in the hands of d. Il.
Quigley, constable, and lodged in the
county Jail where he properly belongs.
Herr is an innocent, inOffensivc and indus
trious young man, while Mimm, although
not dangerous character in himself, is
good tool in the hands of some of the
roughs who congregate at the door of
country churches during night services.
Mimm's want of wit is some excuse for
him, and more discredit to the ones who
insti gated this outrage.

that. The story was not true and we re.

it. Whether the story, us originally pub.
lished, was all imposition OH the Press OF
a fabrication 10y it, we do not know.
We know that it was never sustained by
any proof, and that it is al exploded lie
which may suit the purposes Of the Lam
caster Examiner, but which it seems as
silly for the Era to appear to bolster up
as its declaration that Hancock was not
in the third days fight at Gettysburg.

adopted the false defense of the towards
