Publication of Exonerated Taxables

From the PhiIa. TIMES.
Whenever the question of publish
ing the names Of those exonerated
from the payment of taxes is tested,
the result is favorable to the idea
Even the opposition to it invariably
vindicates such publicity. The Dan
vile School Board announced that it
would print the names Of the exouera-
ted, and the first effect was to bring
in lot of money from people on the
list who were supposed to be unable
TO pay anything. It's second effect
was to bring out protests from other
people who were able to pay their
taxes. but wanted to dodge them, and
as some of these had influence the
School Board backed down and with
drew the announcement The osten-
sible excuse was that the cost of pub
fishing the list would be too great,
but the mere threat of publication
brought in more than enough to pay
this bill. Now it has leaked out that
the Tax Collectors were instrumental
in preventing the publication of the
list, and the men who paid their taxes
without asking to be exonerated are
raising a vigorous kick for publicity.
Danville may be different from all the
ether towns in this State, but when
ever Tax Collectors elsewhere object
to the publication of the exoneration
lists and the thing is investigste ted,
there proves to be collusion, if not
addition, division and silence. between
the collectors and the exonerated Let
the kickers keep on kicking. Tax
shirking will never be stopped until
an example is made of the shirkers
and of corrupt officials who stand in
| with them.

An Interesting Case.
Three Mems Fate Hanging on the
Result Of q Surgical Operation.

PITIsBURG, July 29.-Dr. Ayres. Of
the Insane Department Of the City
Farm, will apply to the courts for au-
thority to perform an operation Ben
jamin Woods. the result of which will
be of great interest to three persons
now confined in the Allegheny County
Jail. Woods was employed at the Eiba
iron works, and on the 9th of April got
into an alteration with Patrick Han
lon and his two sons, Patrick ana
James. During the fight Woods was
struck with heavy iron bar. lie was
unconscious for several days. when he
got better, but subsequently he became
violently insane, in which condition he
has since remained. DR.. Ayres has
made q very careful study of Woods
case, has and he arrived at the conclu.
sion that an operation can be perform
ed which may restore the mans reason
and that il iG is not done his insanity is
incurable. If the operation is perform
ed and the patient dies, the case will be
a very complicated one, for physically
Woods has entirely recovered from his
injury. The Hanlons who are in Jail
awaiting the result of Woods injuries,
cannot be tried for his murder If his
death results from the operation. DR..
Ayres referring to the case last evening
said !: II think that the right to per-
form the operation and relieve the Han"
Ions from all responsibility can be Civ
en- by the judges of the judicial district,
but maybe the Governor would be the
proper person. But shall immediate
ly ascertain this fact, and obtain the
proper authority to perform the opera
ton"

BEN'S BLUFF GAME.
Gen. Butler Causing n Stir I'm Mas.
sachusetIs Politics.

NEW YoRK, June 16.-A Boston
special to the Herald says: The
statement made in yesterdays Herald
that Gen. Butler was in training for
the Governorthip caused a sensation
in Boston, and divided public interest
with the New York yacht races. The
comments on the reefs end at the
hotels showed that there was more in
tbs movement than Buffers friends
ere wiling to admit The general i'm
preston, however, is that Butte is
playing a little game Of bluff as a
feeIer, and il he finds that his grip is
as strong as formerly, he will exert it
for another candidate. 1t is believed
that he looks favorahly upon the plo-
posed candidacy of Judge Abbott. A
Iumor was beng much repeat ed here
yesterday that Butler is ready to back
Abbott for Governor by his personal
efiolts on the stump, and hes more
than half mind to run for Congress
at the same time by way OF stirring up
the case more thoroughly. Butler has
residence in two districts and may
run either in the seventh or eighth.
The belief here is that he would easily
beat the Republican nominee this fall
in either district, that is if the Demo.
cratic convention of either give him
its nomination or its Endorsement.
Certain it ia that Massachuset.' is on
the ragged edge of another Butler
scare. The air is filled with porten-
tous feeling which always pervades
Mr.. Hears State whenever it is
feared that "the old man is up to some
new game" The impression that
"ihere is a hen on" in the Butler
camp is all but universal.
