Needed Legislation.

The present Legislature could do no
wiser act than to pass law prohibit
ing certain county offices from being
filled more than one term by the same
person. The Constitution prescribes
that the sheriff and county Treasurer
shall not hold two terms in succession,
but leaves the field openI flor Commits
sioners, Prothonotary, and Register
and Recorder. The result is that, as a
general rule, the officials spend quite as
much time in laying ropes for second
or third or fourth term, as they do in
transacting the public business There
does not appear to be any good reasons
why this distinction should be made
between the offices of Sheriff and Treas.
urer, and the other county offices.
The scramble for position might as well
be made general as to be allowed in all
but two instances. 1t is too often the
case, in many counties, that the entire
court house machinery is kept in mo-
tion to keep in place those who are al
ready in, or to put in those who can be
used to the best advantage by men who
want their assistance. 1t is game of
"you work for me, and I'll work for
you," and in this way public officers
who are supposed to be the servants of
the people, become the masters, and can
prolong their official careers almost in
definitely, or at least until the people
become tired Of such management, and
revolt against it. The only way to
prevent this, is to put all county offices
on an equal footing, and thus avoid all
necessity or opportunity for wire pull
ing and rope laying for reelection.

Death Of Robert A. Packer.

Robert A. Packer, of Sayre, Bradford
county, died at his winter residence
near Jacksonville, Florida, on the goth
inst. He was q son-in-law of Col. V. t.
Piollett and one of the Democratic State
Executive Committee. He was the
eldest son of the late Asa Packer, the
surviving members of the family being
Harry +. Packer, who was recently
elected to the presidency of the Lehigh
Valley railroad company, and Miss
Mary ii. Packer Robert A. Packer
was about forty years of age. He was
the president Of the Pennsylvania and
New York canal and railroad company,
and the Geneva, Ithica, and Sayre
railroad company. He was director
in the most of the other companies con-
nected with the Lehigh Valley system
and was intimately identified with all
of the large interests in which his father
was engaged. In 1880 he was the
democratic candidate for congress from
the Fifteenth district of this state, and
was defeated by a large majority by
his republican opponent, Cornelius G.
Jadwin. Mr. Packer started for Jack
sonville about a fortnight ago to recu.
perate his health, which has lately been
poor. He was accompanied by bis
wife and Passenger Agent Byington,
of the Lehigh Valley railroad company.
Other friends were or the way to join
him, having been informed within the
past few days that his condition had
become critical.

During the present session up to Feb
ruary II, the bills reported from the

passed second reading and II have pas
sed third reading and finally. The

Governor Pattison, and the approval of
another, the Scranton bill respecting
city and ward officers, is expected to-
day. The house, in the session of
1883, has "a officials and employees
less than the house of 1S8l-S2, at a
saving in salaries of Sll 400. Speaker
Faunce has made no appointments of
those to which he is entitled, giving

The case of George w. Drum, an
ex-member of the Legislature, charged
with fraudulent collection of pension
claims by forgery came up at Hazleton
on Tuesday before U. S. Commissioner
Hill When counsel for complainant
stated that the failure of the assistant
U. S. district attorney to be present
and also the failure of the United
States treasury officials to furnish the
original documents, claimed to have
been forged, made it impossible TO pre-
sent their case. Drums counsel there
upon asked for his discharge, and coun-
sci for complainant interposing no OBJ
lection Drum was discharged and the
case dismissed.

The New Postal Laws.
MANY ESSENTIAL CHANGES MADE.

The Postoffice Department has
amended section 37t of the postal
regulations in accordance with the re-
quirements of the 3,910th section of
revised statutes, so that certain essen
tial changes have been made. The
effect of these amendments is as tol,
lows: "Free county newspapers may
be forwarded to any other Office in the
county where printed, without addition
al charge, but in order to forward such
papers outside of the county they
should be accompanied with postage
sufficient to pay the transient rates
theron" ;"
"When a regular subscriber to a
newspaper removes from the delivery
of postotfice the postmaster should
advise him that it is his duty to notify
the publisher of his change of residence.
The postmaster should, in the absence
of Instructions to forward, accompa,
MED with the transient rate of postage
therefor, or other instructions, except
in cases of county newspapers, forwar,
ded to an Office within the county, no
tify the publisher that the paper is moi
called for"
Postmastcrs are to understand By
these amendments that hereafter nc
matter can be forwarded in the mails
after it reaches its original address
without new payment of postage, ex.
cept letters which have one full rate
paid thereon, namely, three cents, and
newspapers or other periodicals which
are to be forwarded to subscribers from
one postoffice TO another which is in
the same county, where the paper !,
published and in whole or part prin
ted.
When matter of the second, third OF
fourth classes has been Inadvertently
forwarded with the payment of the ad
ditional postage required, it is to be ra
ted up only with the amount due, ther,
being no double postage charged il
those cases. When a request is sent Il
a postmaster to have letters forwarded
to new address, drop letters, full,
prepaid, bearing the card of the writer
should be Immediately returned TO tn,
writer giving also information to thu
changed address.
"The above rules are obligatory upor
postmasters who are left with any dis
erection in the premises whatever. NJ
newspaper or postal card can be for
warded after il has reached its origina
address, but goes direct to the dead Jet
ter office.

The Revenue Bill.

For years the people of this country
have been loaded down with taxes
which have only served TO place large
surplus in the treasury for the republi
can party to recklessly and extrava.
gantly disburse. At length the clamoi
for reduction of revenue became so
great that the republican party was
compelled to pay some heed to it. Ac-
cordingly at the last session of con-
gress, after great promises had been
made of seventy-five million reduction,
a bill was at length presented from
committee reducing the revenue about
sixteen millions by removing the tax
from cosmetics, matches, patent medi-
cines and bank checks.
The bill was such contemplate
sham that the democrats refused to
permit it to become law, much to the
satisfaction of the republicans who felt
sure such action would make party CAP
ital for them. Their exultation was
short lived, however, for the people at
the polls last November endorsed the
course of the democratic majority in
congress.
With this fact to face the republican
majority was compelled to make anoth-
er pretense at revenue reduction at the
present session, although many mem
bers of the majority were opposed to
cutting down the surplus in the treas.
ury, preferring to permit the people to
suffer so that they might have chance
to vote away the surplus funds in jobs
of extravagances. The bill presented
was only another sham and was defeat
ed by the honest republicans and dem
ocrats.
The republican majority has over
reached itself by attempting to be too
smart, on this question az it has done
on the tariff bill. There has been q
continued and INSCRIPTIONS effort made
to use measures of great public impor-
tance in the interest of party. No re-
gard has been paid to the demands and
necessities of the people and no honest
effort made to meet them These have
always been secondary with the repub,
lican party.
The suffering from heavy taxes
which will now continue will not like.
ly permit the people to forget how
shamefully their interests have been
trifled with and neglected.-Patriot.

A Falsehood Corrected.
From the Lancaster Intelligencer.

From the Lancaster 1ntelligencer.
The Press which has been proving
itself big enough to print the news and
broad enough to tell the truth, allows
an Tnvisible" correspondent writing
from Harrisburg, to say in its columns
that a committee appointed to ascer.
tain whether certain house officers
could be dispensed with, "reported
that all were absolutely required, and
those held in allegiance were sneaked
in by piece meal, ,and to-day they are all
in, except two sergeant-at-arms, who
will be in plenty of time to get full sal
ary,' and upon such allegations as this
he concludes that the cause of reform
at Harrisburg is hopeless in the demo-
cratic house and has only chance in
the republican senate. Now the facts
are just the reverse. The house did
dispense with dozen officers allowed
by law and not one of them has been
sneaked in nor filled in any other way.
The senate, on the other hand, has fill
ed its full quota. Every officer elected
by the democrats has to do his work in
person, and, as even the Press cores
pondent admits, one who was unfit fol
his position had to resign and was nei-
ther allowed to hire a substitute or shirk
his duties. This is a condition of things
that has rot prevailed at Harrisburg foi
many years before.
IF the Press wants further evidence
of the sincerity of the democratic house
in the work of reform it can find it in
the dispatch by that body of Legislative
business, which ia further advanced
than it has been any time for ten years
at the same period of the session. The
appropriations committee, which is even
more liberal than its chairman or the
house, has already acted on forty-one
out OF sixty seven bills before it, and
has cut down the amounts asked fol
$l,20l,354.

Judiciary Apportionment.

The Judiciary apportionment bill
which was agreed to in the committee
last week, was presented to the House
last Saturday. BY this bill this district,
which is now the Twenty.sixth, is made
the Forty.second, and Sullivan county
is added to Columbia and Moutour.
Wyoming county is attached to Sus-
quehanna. This does away with the
present Forty-fourth district, and legis-
lates Judge Ingham out of Office. A
number of other districts are abolished
i'm the same manner.

The floods in the west are subsiding,
and they have left terrible scene of
desolation behind them. Whole towns
have been inundated, and the receding
waters have left thousands of families
homeless. Houses were washed away,
lives lost, and millions of dollars worth
Of property destroyed. The condition
of things appeals strongly to the sym
pathies of the whole country, and it is
likely calls will be made for help be-
fore the homeless ones can be provided
for No such flood has been known
before in this country.

The Illinois Disaster.

Seventy miners were overwhelmed
by land slide at Braidwood, Illinois,
on the 10th inst. The country there.
abouts is level prairie, with slight
inclination toward the mine, and heavy
rains had transformed it into lake for
miles and miles. Without warning,
there appeared an opening in the earth,
and water poured into the mine, drown
ing all who were unable to get out at
once. The mine was constructed by
sinking shaft seventy-five feet per-
pendicular and diverging into two
main galleries. Running horizontally
from these main galleries narrow spurs
or gangways are dug out in various
directions, rising and falling with the
ledge of the coal, sometimes coming
within twelve feet of the surface. 1t
was at such point near the top where
the break occurred.
A PIT OF DEATH.
While lying on his back picking
away at his coal above, the earth must
have fallen on the first victim, and
through this opening the water poured
in. These galleries were low and mar
row, and the poor victims could escape
only by painfully slow crawling.
There was little time to spread an
alarm, for in less than an hour every
avenue of escape was choked up and
every occupant of the mine at that
time must have been drowned. No
noise accompanied the rising water, and
the first indication of coming danger
the doomed men received was water
trickling along the pathway where they
lay at work. There is not the slightest
hope of finding any of the men alive.
The majority of them are foreigners =
English, Scotch and Irish. There will
be suffering among their families, but
as class they were not improvident.
Their pay averaged between fifty and
seventy-fve dollars a month, and most
of them owned their own houses.

silvs2-Plated w are.

The great improvements during the
last few years in the manufacture Of
silver-platcd ware, have in many
ways increased the desirableness of
this excellent substitute for solid silver.
Not only has great durability been
obtained by the new methods. but
pattern and finish, which formerly
betrayed the difference between Il and
silver, now give no clue by which even
an expert can distinguish.
Clumsiness of shape has given way
to the lightest and most artistic forms,
and the production Of a meritorious
pattern in the solid metal is quickly
followed by its appearance in the less
costly material.
Even such elaborate decorations as
repousse and hammered work-long
confined to solid silver--are success
fully produced in plated ware with a
delicacy and beauty leaving little to
be desired in respect of appearance.
1t is, however. only in the higher
grade Of electroplated ware that these
excellencies Of the designer are at.
tempted to be wrought out. such per-
fcction of workmanship and dainty
finish being impossible in the inferior
varieties, in addition to the vital def
cheney of these in durability.
