Assessors will be furnished with the
new form of blanks rendered necessary
by the act of June last and will leave
copies with the taXables. The terms of
the new law breathe new life into the
terms of the old one and it is probable
that fuller return will be made of gold
watches, silver plate and other property
than heretofore, for each taxable is now
required to give under oath schedule
of all his taxable personal property and
few, we presume, will venture to run
the risk of perjury to avoid the tax on
any item. "
But, in many cases, the taxes win be
paid under protest and the constitutions
ality of certain features of the new law
will be questioned. In Berks county,
already, suit has been begun by thirteen
taxpayers TO restrain the County Com
missioners from carrying out the pro-
visions of the new revenue act, on the
ground that it is unconstitutional. The
petitions of the parties bringing suit de-
clare the new law not only onerous and
oppressive, but contrary to and in viola
ton of the provisions of the Constitution
of PENNSYLVANIA and the declaration of
rights therein contained, inasmuch as
the same interfcres with the inviolabili-
ty of private affairs and property and
the right of trial by jury and the said
sections of the act are, therefore, wholly
void and of no binding effect upon the
petitioners. The defendant will put in
a demurrer, leaving the court to pass
upon the constitutionality of the bill at
an early day. u

AND SO it seems that Grover Cleveland is
president of ee-trade club and has been
for many years. The utter insignifcance of
the man, his inability to impress himself upon
the public, even though that public be the
most circumscribed, is evidenced by the fact
that this reminiscence of his history did not
occur to anyone during the campaign, not
even to single resident of the city of Buffalo,
of which Mr.. Cleveland is citizen and was
the mayor But Mr.. Cleveland himself knew
it, and so did the other free traders associated
with him; yet, for their own purpose, they
concealed the truth during a compaign in
which the question of free trade or protection
was a leading one, if not the dominant one.
The concealing Of his views on the subject of
the tariff shows Mr.. Cleveland to be very far
from the blunt honest man he is represented

JOHN B. Finch, chairman of the Prohibi-
ton national committee, cards the press to
the effect that neither the Republican nor
Democratic committees made any dishonor-
able overtures to his committee relative to
the withdrawal of st. John or his retention as
candidate. Very likely, for probably not a
single member of either committee was foolish
enough to attempt to buy an entire committee
The charge is that ST. John personally received
encouragement from Democratic sources to
remain in the field, to the evident hurt of the
Republican candidates. Any Prohibitionist
in the ranks has as much right to deny as has
Mr.. Finch but, after all, Mr.. st. John him
self knows more of his own experience than
all his party together.

Mr. BEECHER's manly justification of his
conduct during the campaign ought to and
probably will secure him the renewed faith
and confidence of his friends and communi-
cants.-Mugwump Exchange

his campaign speech that the majority of the
men in New York State had broken the
seventh commandment was because he wanted
to make votes. eff I had been making a
speech to you CHS church congregation, /
should have made it with Attic purity I
should have endeavored to square everything,
but when I went out to counteract Ben But
Ter, l made the speech that l thought the
common people would understand, and that
would win them to the cause of truth and
righteousness so you must not, therefore, put
your Attic scale of measurement upon my
speeches too severely" Where is the manly
justification or apology claimed by the Ply
mouth pastors adherents to be in this speec h?
Only confirmed mugwump and Beecher-
worshipper can detect in it aught but dishon-
esty insincerity, and the principles of a dema-

accomplished in several ways. First, by the
reduction of wages to the British level But this
could not be accomplished off hand without fore

was to close up factory and mill, in anticipa-
