Judge Hazen, in his charge to the
Grand Jury at New Castle a few
days ago, used the following langu-
age: eve have not much respect
for the verdicts of Coroners' juries.
They are source of annoyance to
the Commonwealth, and it would be
a Gods blessing if the Legislature
would wipe out this office of Cor
oner, as it is needless and only a
means of drawing out money from
the County Treasury" There has
been a growing belief for some years
that the office of Coroner is of little
value. Nine-tenths of the inquests
held are unnecessary, and Judge
Hazen's remarks may do some good
in opening the eyes of the Legisla-
tors. There are cases where an of
fetal inquiry is necessary, but where
the necessity exists it would not be
difficult to make it without the aid
of an ornamental ofiice-holder whose
sole interest consists in drawing
his fees.

The immigration question is
daily becoming more important to
every citizen of the United States
and some good results are hoped
from the investigation of the com-
mission recently appointed by Secre-
tary Foster. Ex-Representative
Grosvenor, of Ohio, who is chair
man of that commission, says on the
subject: "Just what is specifically
expected of the commission do not
know, for we have not yet received
our instructions, but do not know
that there is pressing necessity for
action ON the part of the authorities.
Never was any country the receptacle
for such a stream of immigration as
is pouring in on us now all our
previous records as receptacle are
being eclipsed. The increase which
has become so apparent of late, has
its origin principally in Southern
Italy, and as most of the material
now arriving is non-assimilative
something must be done to decrease
the volume. The labor organiza-
tions complain that sufficient em-
ployment cannot be secured for the
people already here, and there is o
very general demand for more rigid
immigration laws. The country is
becoming strongly tainted with
foreign odors. Take Wisconsin as
an instance state that is most a
European province. The people
there demand the conduct of tho
public schools in foreign tongue
and give other marked evidence of
their alienism. In little while
they will insist on having the rec
ords of their legislature kept in
their non.American language and on
top of that will. come an endeavor
to have the courts operate in the
language or languages native to
other lands than ours. This is all
wrong. We cannot afford to well
icome those who will not be of u.s.

The Registration Law.

The bill changing the time and
manner of registering voters and
the duties of registry assessors has
been approved by the governor, and
the county commissioners through
out the state have been notified
thereof by Secretary Harrity. The
registration for this years elections
are to be made under the provisions
of the new act, which amends the
act of 1874.
The new act requires the assessor
to visit in person each and every
dwelling house in his election dis
trict or division on the first Mon
days of May and December of each
year, or as soon thereafter as prac-
ticable. 1t is intended to prohibit
the assessor from taking up the
transcript or list Of voters of the
previous assessment. An entirely
new registration is to be made.
The assessor is not to assess any
person until after careful inquiry of
the voter himself or of some
known resident of the election
district or division. In all cases
the assessor is obliged to enter in
to his book, opposite the name of
each voter, the name and residence
of the person who shall furnish in
formation as to the residence and
qualification of each voter who is
assessed. The blank books to be
furnished the assessor by the county
commissioners should be ruled for
spaces for the name, residence and
occupation of the voter, the date of
the assessment, the name of the EN-,
ployer, with whom boarding, and
the address OF known residents OF
election division who furnished in>
formation as to qualifications OF
voters. Any assessor who shall
knowingly assess any person as a
voter who is not qualified, or shall
willfully refuse to assess any one
who is qualified, is liable to inn
rrisonment for two years and fine
not exceeding 81 900.

On account of the Baker and
other minor laws passed at the re.
cent Legislature, it becomes neces-
sary to make 81 revision of the Con-
stitution of the commonwealth. The
revision will be made by three rep
resentatives of each Senatorial dis
trict. The minority party in each
district to be represented, hence,
the oath senatorial district consisting
of Sullivan, Lycoming, Montour and
Columbia will be represented by
two democrats and one republican.
Each county in the district will
nominate candidate at their re-
spectivc conventions and, has been
the custom heretofore give such
candidate the power of choosing his
own conferees to the District con-
vention where the final nominations
will be made. Our people will per.
ceive at glance that this is a very
important question and that we
should take more than ordinary
pains in selecting Sullivan county
candidate at the Republican conven.
tion. He should be among the
brightest members of our law fra
ternity. For this honor, friends
of Atty. E. M. Dunham are urging
him to be candidate and we
think he fills the bill and would be
good selection.

Or the Dead sculptor of Statue in WASH
ington Which Never Existed.
The San Francisco Examiner, whose editor
evidently does not know that there is no statue
of Lafayette anywhere near the grounds of
the Agricultural Department, or even the city
of Washington for that matter, yet publishes
the following fairy story on its editorial page:
1.-The recent unwilling of the bronze statue
Of Gen. Lafayette at Marseilles recalls an Incl
dent of similar ceremony connected with the
equestrian statue Of the same great Frenchman
at Washington-the superb work that fronts
the east entrance to the grounds Of the Agri-
cultural Department.. 1t is C story for an
American to hear with blush of shame-a
typical illustration of the apathetic ingratitude
Of republics.
The statue was finished by its designer, q
gifted young Italian sculptor, but a penniless
one, in 154s. On one excuse or another pay
ment was put of until it was placed on its ped
estal ready for dedication nearly three years
after. in 81. By this time the artist had be-
come weary OF haunting the congressional COM
mittees with his opportunities for relief and
had sunk into absolute, pitiable poyerty-in-
deed, had become quite forgotten.
THE unwilling OF his work took place at last
amid pompous ceremonies and the booming Of
cannon, the exercises costing more than the
sum the needy genius begged to be given for
services. As the canvas draperies were drawn
aside amid the huzzas Of the multitude tat
tered, miserable object was discovered seated
astrtde the bronze steed in front Of the figure
Of the great French partisan and apparently
sleeping peacefully, protected by its massive
arms. The committee OF ceremonies approached
and angrily ordered the presumptuous tramp
to withdraw. But the sleeper did not stir, and
when at last a ladder was raised to expel the in
truier they found the gaunt form of the young
sculptor. dead, his famine-pinched cheek rest
ing against the breast of his own creation.
And there is local tradition that the statue
face has borne frown ever since"
