SATURDAY EVENING. SEPT. 40, 1888,
Publishing New Laws.

It has been nearly four months since
the regular session of the Legislature
adjourned, and as the record of legisla
ton cannot be completed until the as
sembly has passed the apportionment
bills or has adjourned finally without
effecting the purposes for which it was
convened, there can be no publication Of
the pamphlet laws of 1888 for some time
yet. Meantime they are in force, how
ever and, under the system which pre-
walls in Pennsylvania the public has no
notice of them whatever. Ignorance
Of the law" says the old and approved
maxim, "excuses no one," and yet here
we are living under and subject to laws
that we know nothing about. Fortu-
nately, and thanks mostly to the COVER
nor, there are few new ones and not
many Of penal character 4; besides the
court and district attorney and 'squires
do not know them either and people are
not apt to be prosecuted for violations of
them Just now but for all that, the
startling fact remains that under the
meagre and utterly Inadequate method
Of making new statutes known to
the people whom they are to govern
1t is entirely possible for people in Penn
sylvania to 60 on for years violating
laws, the existence of which they never
have had any reason to suspect.
Take this law, alleged to have been
passed at this session of the Legislature,
requiring dentists to register. What
knowledge has the class affected by it OF
its provisions, and if suit were to he
brought for its penalties, how would it
be determined what is the law? 1t was
said, in reproach of an old Roman cruelty
of the law making powers, that the de-
crees were posted so high up that the
common people could not read them and
they suffered for their innocent ignor-
ance. In this rear of grace the provi'
sions of the government for making it
citizens acquainted with their new law
seem TO be less liberal. We commend t
the present state administration som
inquiry into the methods prevailing il
other states for the publication of thei
statutes. Surely nothing could be NOR
inadequate and unjust than the Penn
sylyania plan.

THE citizens of Philadelphia probably
never stop to consider the anomalous
system of government under which they
live by reason of the fact that the county
and city of Philadelphia are COtermin
GUS. When the various towns and
rural districts which formerly comprised
the county were consolidated the forms
of county government were retained, and
hence it happens that certain class of
officers there are elected in the fall and
another class in February, contempora
neously with other municipal elec
tions throughout the state. When the
dispute arose as to whether the vacancy
in the office of recorder was TO be filed
by appointment of the governor or elec
tion by councils it was recalled how
easily this double system of government
might lead to a conflict of jurisdiction
and disputes of authority which, happily,
have thus far not frequently arisen. But
in the case of riot, such as sheriffs OF
counties and mayors Of cities are alike
called upon, in their respective jurisdic
tions, to queil, it might be very difficult
to determine in Philadelphia county and
city just where the supreme power i,
lodged, Should it so happen that polit
ical causes induced it, and these two
officers were of different partisan sym
pathies and views, a conflict of jurisdlc
tion might arise that is as perplexing a.
1T may be profitable to contemplate.

The sixteenth anniversary of the sun

gelical Lutheran church was celebrated
last evening. 4 committee Of young
people under the direction Of their pastor,
Rev l.. l.. Reed, had displayed most cx-
quisite taste ia the floral decorations which
were SO conceived as to readily form part
OF the emblematic design prepared for the
exercises of the evening. The season Of
the year naturally suggests the fruit and
the vine and with rare good judgment.
"The church IA vineyard was made
the keynote OF the evening. 4 real
vine, emblematic of the True Vine, was
planted ia the Chancel aud the singing of
canaries lent to the pastoral suggestive
ness OF the scene The superintendent
and treasurer's reports supplemented by
an address by the pastor were first in
order after which the reward for regular
attendance, being a copy of the "Ltfe Of
DR.. Martin Luther" was bestowed by
Prof. X. X. Ruehrle, the superintendent of
the school, on fifteen of the scholars who
had not missed once during the year. Then
came the certificates Of honor" given for

not doa great deal of work in the shop
during tho summer, aud yesterday the
family boiled apple butter in the lower
part. 1t Is supposed that tho fire used
was not entirely extinguished. A lot OF
cooper tool, several corn shelters and
some other articles were destroyed with
tho building, but there was no stock on
hand OF any consequence. The fire made
ouite n light and the whole town was
aroused. The buildings near were kept
from burning by tho constant application
of water which was carried IN buckets.

Where the Difficulty Lies.

The New York Sun advises its CO.
temporaries, the Herald and the Times,
to take the back track and restore their
price to four cents. The Sun finds two
supreme difficulties in the way of any
newspaper in this country achieving the
enormous calculations of certain French
and English journals. The first is the
lack of concentrated population, and the
second is the greater cost of the news
paper here, in its raw material, and in
its contents. There is no doubt that both
these causes exist to bar a great circula
tion to cheap journal but there are
considerations on the other side to offset
them in part, II not wholly. The one is
that this is a country of newspaper
readers and of well paid people. News
papers are not borrowed or hired here,
or taken jointly by different families, as
in Europe. In nearly every household
at least one paper is taken and in most
more than one. We know no reason
why journal should not reach at leas
as great a circulation here as auywher,
III tue "OIlu, IL IL COuIu ludhe llSeIl sun
ciently popular. The difficulty lies il
the sharp competition here, which make
the newspapers generally so good that n
one can get away ahead of another. |
cheapness alone would distance competi
tion, the Sun would long ago hay
walked away from its contemporaries
for it is as good and has been cheaper
But the price is not an overruling con
sideration with the newspaper reade
here, and the excellence OF the large
newspapers preserved them their circu
lation. The aim of the paper seeking /
large circulation is to first make itself a
good as possible to be as cheap as pos
sible is but the second consideration.
