THE REPUBLICAN TICKET.

It is not necessary for us to dilate upon
the ticket which the Republicans of Ire
20 county placed in nomination last Sat-
urday.
It is composed, as rule, of capable
men. and we shall support it.
DR.. Conger has discharged with ability
the duties of the Office of probate judge.
This, of course, is ample evidence Of his
qualifications for doing the same way in
the future.
Geo. Baker has made an economical,
alert and popular sheriff. To have de-
feated him last Saturday for a second
term would have deserved the construc-
ton of being call for j. Fool Allen to
come back to Trego county, and run the
sherifrs Office. The Republicans of this
county are too bright-too good-if we
can get it in this way without being
charged with servile flattery-not to ap-
preciate the administration of Sheriff Ba-
ker whenever they think of how the best
interests of the county were overridden
by Allen right along until Baker was
sworn in. Bakers election may as well
be conceded now. Not as many as one
hundred votes will be polled against him
at the November election.
@. b. Gibbs is qualified for county
treasurer, and he will undoubtedly be
ready in every sense of the term to assume
the direction Of the ofioe in October,
1885, when the time OF the present ex.
tremely-worthy incumbent OF that Office
shall have expired Gibbs viii run about
like CREASED lightning for this Office, We
mean.
Personally, there Is not better man IN
Trego county than W. II. Damn. He ID
entirely competent in every sense for the
position Of county clerk. It is scarcely
worth the while for us to add that hi
election is . foregone conclusion. Al
least, this is the opinion Of his most init
mate friends They certainly ought t.
know.
Ada e. Gift ran Tor register Of deeds q.
though the wind was carrying her along
There 10 NO doubt concerning her compe
tency. The Democrats seldom, If ever

are going to make guess We guess
they will be too gallant to put anybody
in nomination against her.

How They Got Their Whisky.

HUNTINGDON, Pa, June 16.-Peculiar meth
DDS have been used in carving on the extensive
illicit trade in whisky which has demoraIized the
laborers, delayed the work and caused so much
loss to the contractors on the South Pennsylvania
railroad. Some of those engaged in the business
have boldly peddled the whisky around among
the men, but the most usual way was for those
wanting it to place their bottles on a stump and
then to go off a short distance out of sight. On
returning they would find the bot
ties filed and the money gone.
There were stumps all along the line
that mysteriously swallowed up the coin and
poured out whisky. At other places shanties
one and a half or two stories high were built
The lower story was open to the public, and the
upper one was occupied by the proprietor who
was unseen by and inaccessible to those below.
Through a little hole in the wall an elevator or
dumb-waiter could be reached, on which the bottle
and money would be placed. The customer would
then put his mouth to the hole and hollow
Moses" to the man above. when the dumb
waiter would ascend and shortly return with the
bottle filled. The United States authorities are
determined to break the traffic up. Deputy
Marshal Beegle, of Bedford, has the names of
many of the dealers, in addition to the eleven
already taken, and will arrest them as soon as
they can be found.

CONSTITUTI0NALTY OF A TAX.
An Important Question Concerning School
Revenues Before the Supreme Court.

The case of Robinson. treasurer of Switzerland
Court on appeal from the Switzerland Circuit
Court, and was argued orally yesterday. In
this case suit was brought by plaintiff against
the treasurer to enioin the collection of a tuition
tax assessed by the township, on the ground that
the law authorizing towns, townships and cities
to assess a special tax for tuition to be added to
the general fund, is unconstitutional. There
was a decision made in 1854 by the Supreme
Court, in which It was held that a section
of the law in force which authorized
a local assessment for tuition was unconstitu-
tioual, upon the ground that a provision of the
Constitution which required the Legislature to
establish a uniform system OF common schools,
in which tuition should be without charge, put
the exclusive duty upon the Legislature to pro-
vide a tuition fund, and that it was not compe-
tent for a Legislature to allow any city, town or
township to levy a tuition fund. This decision
has not been directly overruled. yet all over the
State this sort of a tuition tax has been col
lected. The right of local authorities has also
been recognized to build and repair school
houses, and it is not easy to see that that kind of
a tax can be distinguished from the other.
Judge Carter, of Vevay, appears for the appel
lee. The Attorney general and the firm of
Harrison, Miller & ELAN appear for the
treasurer, the latter firm at the request of the
School Board of this city. The point involved
is one of great Importance to the educational
interests OF the State. as in the event of the local
tuition tax being held to be unconstitutional, a
great many cities and towns throughout the
State would be deprived altogether of the means
of paying the necessary school expenses, the
State tax being altogether insufficient to meet
the required outlay.

"My Dear Bishop: 1t is a matter of great un-

loyal and dutiful priest of your diocese. Believe

yours. ARTHUR RITCHIE.'

PHILADELPHIA, June I6.-The Union National
Bank of the city of New York to-day brought
a suit in the Court of Common Pleas against
John A. Vangelder, the former receiving teller
of the bank. The suit is to recover
s., 900 upon the official bond of the defend
PENDANT in the suit. The surety belongs to this
city, which is the reason the suit is brought in a
Philadelphia court. Counsel for the bank said
to-day that John A. Vangelder had been in
the employ of the bank since 1863,
and in 1874 was promoted to the
position of receiving teller, which position
he held until May of this year, when he disap-
peared from the city, and has not been heard
from since. He was found to be a defaulter to
the amount of s33, 600, this sum being the
amount of petty differing for a number of years.
