THREE OF four weeks ago we pub
Iished the High License Bill just then
introduced into the House, at Harris
burg, by Mr.. Brown, of Erie. By the
the terms of the bill the additional Ii
cense to be paid in cities o. the first
and second classes was $500 in cities
of the third, fourth and fifth classes,
$3.50, and in all boroughs and townships,
$50. The Committee of Ways and
Means at the close of last week reported
the bill back to the House with several
important amendments, aCd we publish
in another part of our present pumber
the full text of the proposed High Lii
cense law as it is now presented to the
House. We need not enter into the de-
tails OF the bill, but refer our readers
to them. BY the bill as first offered by
Mr.. Brown the additional license in
Cambria county would be $3.50, and by
the bill as reported by the Committee
and as it will come before the House for
it's action, the additional license in all
the boroughs and townships in this
county, with the exception of Johns
town and two or three of the surround
ing boroughs, and also of Ebens5urg
will be S25. In Johnstown the addi.
tionai license will be $50, and in Ebens.
burg $50. 1t is not likely that there
will be much delay in taking up the
bill and disposing of it, but what Its
shape will be aTL5T running the gauntlet
of the House no man can tell.

The LAY OF THE LAND.-The ap-
pointments made so far by the President
and the circumstances surrounding
them, indicate a few points of a partial
ly developed policy:
l. The Government service is to be
conducted on business principles, and
not political prominence and activity,
but solid qualifications for the duties OF
the place are the essentials for appoint
meut. Democrats will be appointed,
but they must be capable. Public office
is public trust.
2. Big petitions, visit to Washing
ton, haunting the corridors of the de
partments, and delegation of eX- Con-
gTessmen, are not potential, but rather
the reverse, other things being equal.
The Pre- esident has the " resisting facul-
Jy." Therefore stay at home unless
you can afford the luxury of five dollars
a day for dyspeptic diet at a Washing
ton hotel. Mail your papers. 1t an.
swers every purpose.
3. The President makes no exception
that all appointments must take their
regular course in the department. There
is no petition or caum Cabinet business.
4. IncOmpetenCy, ineffiJiency, or an
irregular life, are fatal TO those holding
ON0i, a"u VIII o0 d pdl W dppuiu tihtuNS

are to be abolished as fast as they can
he uncovered. There viii be no such
fine p;ckings for Democrats as there
have been for Republicans the last TWEEN
ty years. Sad, but true.
5. The departments are to be thor
Oughly renovated and disinfected. When
the administration gets done with this
kind cs work the country will have
plain proof that it is not well that ole
party should remain too long in power
ard change of party is necessaTy-it
for no other reasOn-tO discover and
remedy mere administrative abuses.
There will be other signboaTds and
danger signals iateT.-PiuSblTq Post.

There are two ways by which the
food Of coupons into the treasury can
be stopped; one is by assessing the
State tax at 81 on the 800 Of property
valuation and allowing rebate of sixty
cents on the taxes paid in currency or
in gold and silver, and the other is to
assess the State tax against the cities
and counties direct. The first plan
would permit the use of the coupon,
but would SO depreciate their value
that they would not pay the bohdhold-
ers as much revenue as they would OBJ
tain by funding under the Riddleberger
BILL.
The other plan would destroy en-
tirely the market for the coupons. This
is the plan by which several Of the
northern States collect their taxes. II
the State should need certain amount
of money to carry on her government
it would be apportioned among the va
rious cities and counties in the Com
monwealth in proportion to the as
sessed value Of the property therein,
and when the usual county levy is or
dered an amount is added sufficient to
cover the tax levied by the State against
the county.-Portsmouth Enterprise.

Jay Gould's man, Stanley Matthews,

Jay Gould's man, Stanley Matthews,
who was appointed by President Gar
field in consideration Of the sum Of
100000, which was raised by Jay
Gould for the Republican campaign
fund, delivered the opinion Of the ma
jority. We are all the more surprised
at the position taken by Justice Mat
thews for the reason that in the pre-
vious cases between the bondholders and
the State he has been among the most
forward on the side of the State. The
opinion, as delivered by Justice Mat
thews, shows a desire to try by quib-
bles and technicalities to get around the
eleventh amendment Of the Constitu-
ton.
The dissenting opinion, which was
concurred in by Chief-Justice Waite,
and Justices Bradley, Miller, and Gray,
is as convincing as judicial opinion
can be.-PortsmOuth Enterprise.

Your correspondent r. O. In Tuesdays
issue, ] think, fails to touch the true
point in his defence Of tho action Of. our
congressman who met in the city Of
Washington short time ago In solemn
conclave, and proceeded to parcel out
shc various Federal Offices in this State
to certain individuals.
They did not recommend Individually
to the appointing power az each mem
Der might have done when called upon
for information rs to the qualifications
of persons seeking Office from their re-
spective districts--though even that is
not strictly justifable, since it is not al
lowable under the ciyil-service law with
regard to such Offices as it applies to-
but they formed ring, regular star
chamber board Of self-appointed judges,
which then and there placed its impri-
matnr upon certain office-seekers.
Now, do cur Democratic members
think their card Of explanation, which
appeared few days ago, makes any the
less obvious the naked fact that only
those gentlemen who are stamped with
the seal have any show Of getting an
Office? Is it any part Of the duty Of
members of the House to appoint to
Office? The example Of that Demo-
cratic member from the South who
positively refused to interfere in any
manner in such cases is well worthy Of
imitation by all the rest Of the House.
And the people are going to demand it
Of them, too. This is an era Of reform
and of purging Of errors political, and
woe to the public man who forgets it.
Can we afford any dissension in eur
ranks at this time, particularly after
the explosion of the bombshell
from the Supreme Court Of the
United States? Does any act
which might even remotely cause dis
cord in the Democracy come with good
grace from those who should be the
foremost in setting an example Of pru-
dence and Of return to its proper
functions of each branch Of the Gov
eminent wherever innovations have
crept in? Let us us have no limitations
of Radicalism in anything. "Let every
tub stand upon its own bettom," and
give every man who desires to sacrifice
himself for the good Of his country upon
the affairs of Office fair chance on his
own merits. The President and his
officers are shrewd enough to find out
who are proper men, when ready, and
if they need any more wisdom they can
easily call upon those who can impart
it without having congressional ring
to dictate it. Better the old saying,
EVERY man for himself and the devil
take the hindmost." PLEBs.

We have published communications
from the Fourth congressional district
and from the Tenth and Seventh 1--WE
think complaining Of the manner in
which the Federal patronage has been
distributed or is expected to be dis
tributed. These communications do
not stir up strife in the Democratic
party, but show one complaining sec
ton that other sections make like COM
plants. Thus all see that there are
two sides to the question.
You cannot keep down dissension by
suppressing the voice Of the people.
Let them be heard at least. When the
Democrats Of the two black districts
see that the Democrats Of two. white
districts complain as loudly as they do
they will at least know that they have
company.
