The House has passed the bin to di-
vert the moneys received from liquor
licenses from the state into the county
treasures, and as the state treasury has
been represented to be Overllowing with
money and the receipts from all sources
far greater than the necessary expenses,
this diversion seems to be about the most
sensible and practicable that could have
been made. The public expense occa-
stoned by the violations and abuse of
the liquor traffic falls upon the counties
and they should properly have the reve-
nues accruing from tho privileges
granted to vendors. Besides. the coun-
ties have to collect these taxes I,r the
state, and they may rs well keep item,
as the proposed charge in the law pro,
vides, and by SO much reduce the county
tax.

CHAIRMAN COOPER, of tue Regular
Republican state committee, reminds
the state that he has not gone out of
business, by sending to his committeeman
for an expression of their preferences
rs to the place of holding the
next state convention, the time
being fixed by the new rules at
July IL. at the same time the
public is advised that Cooper and some
of the Independent leaders have patched
upa truce by which there is hencefolth
to be but one Republican party in the
state the Regulars are to hold their
convention and nominate Independents,
who arc then to be endorsed by the
Independents and peace and harmony
are to prepare the way for united action
in the presidential year. Whereupon and
wherefore some wiseacres precipitately
conclude that the occupation of the
Democratic party in this state is gone.
We beg them not to be rash in forming
this judgment. The Democratic organi-
zatiOn does not depend for success on
Republican division. Had Stewart
withdrawn last fall and Beaver remained
the only Republican candidate, Patti
sons majority would have been larger.
The hopes of the Democratic party rest
on it's own integrity and harmony.
While these abide it can successfully
meet and whip the Republican party
united under one leadership in which the
Cameron Cooper element must be the
predominating element. 1t nay in this
off year make feint of retirement or
concession. But it will only let so to
take fresh hold. And the real indepen-
dent portion of the party is not likely to
be deceived.

An Old Cornerstone Unearthed

An Old Cornerstone Unearthed
The workmen engaged in tearing down
the old Black Horse hotel, North Queen
street, yesterday, found in the wall, at
the southeast corner of the building,
considerably beneath the street grade,
red sandstone, about eighteen
inches long, twelve inches in breadth
and three inches thick, on which
were cut the figures "1717." Whether
this was tho date at which the old hotel
was built, or whether the stone was taken
from some other building elsewhere and
placed in the wall of the hotel we have no
means of knowing. Lancaster was,
we believe, laid out in 1929. Tie
finding of the cornerstone of the
old Black Horse hotel would seem to indi.
cate that somebody had built substan-
tial house here twelve years before the
place was thought of rs the site of a town.
The old chronicles frequently refer to the
"Orange street swamp" which extended
from Duke strest westward to Water, and
there is tradition that the Orange street
hill west of Water street was the worst
hill for wagoners between Philadelphia
and Pittsburgh. Be this as it may, the
finding of the corner stone above spoke of,
so far below the ground of the street line,
shows conc!usively that tho grade OF the
street has been raised several feet since
the stone was place in the wall.
We are told that when Mr .Kepler erects his
new building on the site Of the old Black
Horse he will give the old cornerstone
more conspicuous place aud add to the
figures "1717" the date of the new build
ing, 1885,

ATOugh Struggle,

The noisOme and scandalous struggle
for the control of the little estate left
to the historical community at Ephrata,
known as Seventh Day Baptists, which
has been dragging through the local
courts for some years, broke out again to.
day in an unamiable contention between
our esteemed friends, the president
and associate justice of the Ian.
caster county court. 1t will be
remembered that some years ago the
distracted membership of this associa-
tion was so evenly divided that it was
a question which of the two factions had
a majority, the one which counted the
fewer members maintaining that it
had lawful majority of one,
as the other had been imprOp-
erly increased to like slender
majority by the irregular admls,
sion of members for the purpose of max
ing this majority, but that such members
had no rights in the church and to it's
franchises. Rival claimants to the
trusteeship presented their bonds to the
court, which must approve them to
be effective. The judges of the court
divided as evenly as the Baptists, Judge
Patterson approving one factions bond
and Judge Livingston dissenting. The
question as to whether the approval of a
bond by one judge is " approval by the
court" is a peg on which was hung al
appeal to the supreme court, and in the
vOluminous testimony taken in the case,
the masters report, the different opin-
ions of the court and the undertOw of
discussion in legal circles there has been
developed not only an unchristian con-
dition of things in the Epllrata com
munity, but degree of professiona!
reclimination which is very distressing.
The case was SO delayed last year that
the supreme court laid it over until this :;
and, meantime, there has been another
dual election of trustees both boards
came before the courts with bonds 10
approve, and each has a j,;ige on it's side
as our court proceedings sho":- Each
board can now claim, with equal truth,
that its bond has been approved by the
court and if they don't 90 at each
other again with hoe handles and dung
forks it will not he because the division
of the judges has indicated which has
the better right to till the glebe and
carry the bag for the Ephrata Baptists.
Meanwhile, everybody is agreed that it
is sin and shame that the annals of a
community of such historic fame, cst;sb.
lished in brotherly love, should be stained
with All unseemly wrangle for the bit of
property left to the remnant Of its mem
bers. But while there is bit of meat On
the bone and three lawyers aud a judge
tugging at each end of it, the combat
may he expected to continue.

FISHERS OF MEN.
The HALEY Pulpit Last Sunday The
Rev. T.. Pratt's DiscOul Sc in the

AHe nancy f0jplC Last SundNy-The
Rev. T.. Pratt's Discou, Sc in the
Theater.
Last Sunday morning the Rev. E.
Pratt took his text from Luke v, 10:
"Christ's Call to Peter to be His Dis
ciple." The little band of fishermen
had toiled all night and caught moth
ing. In the morning at the word of
the Divine Strangerithe tired laborers
again launched out and let do wn their
nets for a draught. Their drowsy
perception was aroused by the mirac
ulous draught. They saw and knew
the Lord, and in tremor of excite
ment Peter begs the Lord to depart
from him as he was a sinful man.
Like Isaiah who, when called to a
mission, says: 81 am man of I'M
clean lips"
No particles of dust or impurities
are seen in the atmosphere which we
breathe, but let pencil of the suns
rays fall through some crack or granny
OF the room, Immediately the impuri-
ties are seen. The consciousness of
sin may not always be present, but
let there be some visitation Of Provi-
dence, let God come near to men in
some sensible way and t here will be
trembling and fear and, like the ''holy
men Of DID," there will be that con.
seriousness that 81 am a sinful man."
But true as this is the Lord uses
frail, sinful men for His work. Some
years ago little girl in crowded
city made her way to Sunday school.
She had no bonnet, a shawl was
thrown over her head. Her queer ap-
pearance excited the curiosity of the
Superintendent and teachers who
sought her out in rear tenement house.
In the depth of squalor she was found
on Saturday night preparing for the
coming Sunday. She not only came
herself but brought others who are to.
day respectable men and women in
our common faith. The Lord makes
use of the commonest and meanest
vessels to fill them with His spirit an d
to use in His work. No one need hes
itate at His command. 1t is "Foliow
Me- and as surely as the word is
needed, so surely do His disciples be-
come the leaders of men from the
darkness Of unbelief to the light and
glory Of the knowledge Of His truth.
Not as Methodist, or Episcopalan
or Presbyterian, but as one of the
rank and file of His followers, I hand
down His word to you, "F'ollow Me-
And in this city according to the close
ness of your following Him, will the
numbers of His disciples increase and
His kingdom be advanced.
