The Sentinel of the I3 inst COM
planned because the "Notice to Tax
Collectors is not published in its col.
umus, and incidentally criticizes John
B. Casey, commissioners clerk, for ad-
vertising it over his own name. Mr..
Casey has simply followed the prece-
dent established by his predecessor in
Office, William Krickbaum, in so ad-
vertising this notice. We find in the
files of the COLUMBIAN of August 25th
1876, a "Nctice to tax collectors
signed by William Krickbapm, Com
missioners' clerk. Another similar
notice appeared October, 6, 1876 and
another on December 2l. 1877. A
notice to assessors appeared November
"a, 1876, with the same signature,
and notice concerning county loan,
signed in the same way, appeared
September IA, 1877. Previous to Mr..
Casey's incumbency there was no sys-
tenn in the form of publishing the no.
tice to tax collectors. 1t was signed
sometimes by the commissioners,
sometimes by the clerk, and once, in
1878, by the county treasurer As it
Is only a matter of form anyway, the
slur falls short of its intended effect.
The milk in the cocoanut is that Mr..
Krickbaum wanted to be made COM
missioners' clerk and failed, hence his
attacks on John B. Casey his, success
ful competitor.

The Scalp Law.

1t would be well if all the farmers
and farmers boys in this Common
wealth knew that on the 23d of last
June the Legislature passed law for
the benefit of agriculture and the pro-
lection of game, by offering a bounty
80 for every wildcat killed, 81 for
every red o. gray fox slain, and so cts.
for every mink, weasel, hawk and owl.
Persons killing any of the above, and
desiring to avail themselves of the
provisions of the law, must go before
a justice of the peace with the slain
bird or animal and make affidavit OF
the time and place of killing, or the
pelt of the animal only may be pro,
duced. The justice thereon will Issue
a certificate directed to the Commits
sioners of the county in which the
animal was killed, stating when, where
and by whom, whereupon the Commis
toner's will give an order upon the
County Treasurer for the sum called
for. If any one fraudulently tries 10
collect such premiums fine of $500
or one years Imprisonment, or both,
awaits his illegal enterprise.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
tFrom our Regular Correspondent
WASHINGTON. d. c., Nov. 25, 1885.

People are rapidly drifting back 10
the Capitol. Senators, Members of the
House, and sections of that large non
official Winter population of Wash
ington are arriving daily.
The members of Congress already
here are occupied chiefly IN perfecting
arrangements for locating their families
and in discussing the probable issues of
the session. They agree upon at least
two subjects, first; that the house rules
must be changed early in the session so
as to facilitate legislation, and second
ly; that the silver question will come
up promptly for consideration.
just now there is an unusual demand
among Congressman for books relating
to financial subjects. Concerning this
demand, a well known politician disre
spectfully remarked, at is WELL mean
ing that 1t was a subject upon which
the average Congressman needs to be
informed. He thought "a little learn
ing was never more dangerous
thing than when applied to legislation
on finance.
Senator Allison has been numbered
among the friends of silver in Con.
gress, and his opinion, to the effect that
the further coinage of the silver dollar
might be suspended, has special sig
niicance. He will acquiesce in stop
ping coinage temporarily as an expert
ment.

Office Department, he ordered that no
women were TO be removed from these
positions, except for good reasons.
This has greatly annoyed Democratic
members Of Congress with certain i'm
patient constituents. The statesmen
were not slow in devising plans to
evade the rule, however, and they used
only the initials of names in asking for
removals, in cases where the iucum-
bents were women. A number of de-
fenseless ones we're thrown out of office
by the authorities here not knowing
their sex. Mr.. Stevens was chagrined
when he discovered that he had been
led unconsciously TO violate rule, and
az once ordered that the women be re.
instated where the commissions had
not been sent to their successors.
The President said to a Republican
Senator few days ago, that he would
esteem it a great favor if Senators
knowing anything Objectionable or
detrimental to public interests about
persons appointed by him, would APP
prise him of the facts. The President
expects an attack will be made on some
of his appointments. lie believes how
ever, that the majority of Republican
Senators will be disposed to confirm
them, except where there are real
grounds for objection. If such cases
exist, he wants to have his attention
called to them before there is an organ.
lied opposition. The Republican
Senators will hold a caucus before
Congress meets, and an effort will then
be made to define course to be pur-
sued with regard to the Presidents
nominations.
1t is said President Cleveland's mes
sage will not occupy more than four
average newspaper columns. This will
be considered quite an improvement
on the eight column messages OF the
past. 1t cannot be denied that prolix-
ity has been fault of many Presidents
in making their annual communications
to Congress aud the country. There
are many topics requiring only brief
generalization. One of President Ar
thurs messages was stolen and pub
lished before it was delivered to Con
gress. So was Gen. Grants first mes
sage, and one of the messages of Mr..
Hayes was bought for $1,000 of
printer by some newspaper men and
published before its time. President
Cleveland is nothing if not cautious,
and a premature publication of his
first message is not probable.

The New Tax Laws

The theory that personal property
should pay its share of taxes is a good
one, but the laws at present in force do
not reach the desired result. The new
tax law is cumbersome, and is object
ionable because it compels every man
to make known his private business to
the public. The Lancaster HateUigen-
Ger calls it an abortive law, and says /:
"We judge that the new state tax
law will prove failure and that its ad-
ministration will be abortive, if The
blanks and instructions furnished to
the assessors are fit presentation of
its plan and operation. The tax pay
ers are required to make out com
plete statement of their affairs, accord
ing to rather confusing and obscure
instructions, under pains and penalties
of perjury if they falsify-and, if they
decline to make return,the assessor can
guess at their proper assessment, the
commissioners will add so per cent. and
the victim can appeal
We predict that very few returns
will be made under these circumstan-
ces, and the assessors will go on guess
ing, making assessments at their own
sweet will, letting those whom they
favor escape, piling it on to whom
they dislike, and the inebullity and
unfsirness of the result will be aggra-
waited rather than relieved by the uni
form addition of fifty per cent.
The law seems to be lame and inade-
quate; it will not enforce itself, it is
plain; and the plan it provides for its
enforcement is no Improvement on
existing methods"
Steps have been taken in Berks
county to test the constitutionality of
the law, and Chester county will follow
suit. A pool composed of taxpayers
of the two counties has been formed to
resist The law. The matter is exciting
much intrest, and the unpopularity of
the law is manifested in the earnest
endeavors of the people to fight it
down.
