While on the above showing the
year 1886 falls some $500, 600 behind
1885, and some 100000 behind 1884,
it will be seen that there Is q grstify-
ing increase in the different classes Of
personal property on which We base
our wealth, and that the falling of in
total value is due solely to the wise
policy of the county board In reduc-
ing the assessed valuation Of range

ELECTION OF SCHOOL TRUS-
TEES.

The Board of Mayor and Alder.
men of Scranton on last Saturday
elected Messrs. Il. u. Becht, j. II.
Rolls aud Jas. Smith, as school
trustees, acting by authority OF the
proviso of Section sc of the new
school laws which is as follows t
"ProUided, that In all Incorporated
towns, three trustees shall be elect.
ed by the Board of Mayor and Aid
ermen at the time aforesaid" The
question now arises, In case the
town is not II separate school dis.
trict, does this election answer in
lieu of tue election by the patrons.
The proviso doesn't say such trus-
tees or said trustees shall be elect.
ed by the Board, but simply that
they shall elect three trustees. A
prOviso, simply because it is a pro.
visO, doesn't always limit, qualify
OF abridge that which precedeS it,
but sometimes enlarges, as this II
seems to do, if language means
anything. Aud ever if the town
is a separate school district, the
language is the same, though in
that case there would be more rea-
son to construe the provisO favOra-
BILE to only one election. For a
town might be incorporated and
yet not IL separate school district
and include II very small portion o
the Que III which it was located.

Of the many tricks dOue by that

a very strong order of nigger-the
StOckdale men did not hesitate to
embrace 'em, and seat them willy

numerical strength to give them
the "bounce." Another trick was
the exclusion of the jones county
proxy. Tho chairman ruled this
man out because he wanted to vote
with the Van Eaton men, and be-
cause he had the spnnk to get up

bound Instructions, 'sirSt, last and

final and biggest fraud of all, de
claring Colonel StOckdale nominat-

man had been asked by one of our
delegates, Mr.. Summer, before the
second ballot was taken, it whole or
only fractional part of votes were
necessary to a choice, and he had
shirked the issue, but upon the re-
suit of the second ballot said that a
majority ruled. That settled it,,
and rs our friend BOnney puts
it, StOckdale was nominated by ga
slight majority ~ That convention
does NOT voice the prevailing senti-
ment of our people, nor, If we Judge
Alright, the people of the district.
Now, if we have said anything
offensive to anybody altering so
many plain truths, we'll forgive
them.
