WHY does not some member of the
House or Senate at Harrisburg prepare and
offer resolution looking to an amendment
of the Constitution of the United State as
to the election of United States Senator's
All they have to do is to look at Article s
ofthe Constitution Of the United States
and make the application there provided
for to Congress. Let Pennsylvania lead off
in this important reform, and two-thirds
of the other States will soon follow her.
Everybody says United States Senators
should be elected by the people of the
States. But no State Legislature moves
in the matter, as is necessary. Start the
ball rolling and let Pennsylvania have
the honor Of starting it at this session Of
the Legislature.

The County Commissioners did not pub
lish the County Auditors Report, this
year, ct the instance Of Judge Haven, who
told them that there Is no law suthorinng
them to do 20, but Is the law requires them
to publish 20 full and accurate statement
of all receipts and expenditures Of the pre-
ceeding year" for four weeks, and specihes
that "such statement shall enumerate the
respective sums paid by each ward and
township within the county. and also des-
ignate all sums expended for the support
Of prisons, the pay Of each commissioner
and of their clerk, the repairs of old or
the erection of new bridges, and the sums
paid to individuals for lands over which
roads may have been laid out, together
with such other items as may have q ten
dency to convey general information Of the
transactions Of the proceeding year" and
as the old board of Commissioners had not
kept books from which they could make
such . report, the new board took the
Auditors' Report and made the condensed
statement which appears in our columns
Whether or no 20 condensed statement
is satisfactory to the tax payers is for them
to say. Attention has been directed to the
item in the expenditures called County
Account" which IL several times larger
than the item Of same name In the Audi
tors Report for tho proceeding year, and
we are informed that the items that 60 to
make up the aggregate Of that account
were taken from the bunch of cancelled
warrants that the County Treasurer had so
labeled. We have looked over the items
as they appear in the Auditors Report and
find that about oue-half of the aggregate is
composed of the Sheriff 3 bills for boarding
prisoners and bills for transcribing.
The aggregate Of all the warrants issded
by the County Commissioners for 1890 was
$42, ,1OS 81, while for 1859 it was $4S, 67s.Sl,
difference Of six and a half thousand, and
during the year 1890. u, ,O4 was paid TO
the State, while during 1889 but 50, 1880
remitted to the State Treasury.
After considering tho matter we are of
opinion that fuller report than the one
published this year should be given. and
that the best report that can be given to
the people Of the county, is the Auditors
Report with the unnecessary details, such
as the items Of tho Commonwealth account,
eliminated.
The Auditors are sworn to audit, settle
and adjust the accounts Of the Commission
ers, Treasurer and Sheriff; the business Of
each hand eyer Office in the Court House is
connected with that of the others; the du
ties of the Auditors are specific and are
separate and apart from that of all the
other officers, and it is their report that the
people should see.
The law provides that their report be
filed with the Prothonotary, and that has
been done, and how many of the taxpayers
of the county arc going there to see it. 1t
is also made judgment against a delin.
quent ofhosr and to pigeon hole it without
publication, or to publish report made
out by any other Of the county officers
seems to rs to be an absurdity, and we do
not believe such to be either the spirit or
the letter Of the law.

Two Hangings in Pennsylvania.


Two men were hung in Western fehh-
sylvania, last Thursday.
At Washington, Pa. West, the coloreu
man who murdered the Crouch family last
Nav made terrible scene. He attempted
suicide a short time before the hour for
execution arrived by opening vein in his
neck with sharpened nail, and that beng
discovered and frustrated, he fought the
Sherif-s party when they entered his CELL
and had to be chloroformed, strapped to
plank and carried to the gallows. Then
the rope broke, West fell to the ground
and had to be carried up again. Alto
eether it was one Of the most horrible
affairs that has ever happened in this state
At Ebensburg, Pa. Harry Marsh, young
English miner, who killed his sweetheart
Clara Jones, last July, was hanged. lie
slept soundly the night before, ate his last
meal with a relish, and appeared willing 10
die. His neck was broken by the fall. HIS
crime was q remarkable one. He was en-
gagged to be married to the young woman,
and spent the evening before the murder IN
her company at the home of her sister, near
Gallitzin, Cambria county, and arranged
to 90 with her Sunday morning to the
home of her mother, in village q few
miles distant. On the way, at lonely
spot, Marsh knocked the girl down and
then cut her throat with razor. de
stood beside his victim until man named
John Nagle came along. Marsh calmly
told Nagle what he had done and asked
him to take him to a constable. At the
trial it was shown that Marsh was jealous
of the girl and had evidently premeditated
the killing. Not a single extenuating
circumstance was shown. He made no de-
fence, save an endeavor to prove that the
crime was the result or sudden quarrel
and was, therefore, not Of the first grade.

THE town of Defiance, o. has a strange
affair on hands. The janitor and assistant
janitor Of the School-building accused
Supcrtendant Butler of being tho intimate
with three of the lady teachers, and the
testimony was so strong against him that
he narrowly escaped violence. But close
invest cation proved the falsity of the
charges, and the indignant citizens warned
the janitor to leave the town. He did moi
do SO, mob visited his house at night, and
next morning his body was found on the
railroad track, with his throat Gu. from
ear to ear.

THE PEOPLES BANKS.

Give Us a National Banking System, Ma
tional In Fact as Well AS In Name.
l desire to formulate a few funda-
mental propositions upon finance, in
clear, terse terms, so that they NAV be
easily understood and assimilated. AS
follows:
Provided the volume of money in cir
culation per capita remains the same
and is kept at all times at any certain
figure, reduction in the legal current
rate OF interest upon money is equiv
alent to an increase in the value of in
come-producing property, except evil
dences of idebtedness and interest-bear-
ing obligations. The value of this class
of income-producing property being ex-
pressed and limited by numeral dollars
or units OF account upon which interest
Is reckoned, areduction in interest rates
Will decrease instead OF increase their
actual value. The reason of this is be-
cause income-producing property is
worth that amount of money unon
which it will pay the legal, current rate
Sr interest A farm that is worth s.. 600
with interest at six per cent, immediate,
~ becomes worth 90, 600 if interest is
reduced to two per cent.
A contraction in the Der can;ta vol
ume OF currency, without a correspond
ing reduction in the rate of interes.
reduces the exchangeahle value or sell
ing pfice gu all forms of wealth, except
evidences of inde btedness. interest
bearing securities and income paoduc-
ing properties. the income of which is
payable In money. While this Injuries
or damages all owners of property and
managers of productive industries who
are out of debt, it works a double
hardship upon those who are in debt.
because It takes more property or
wealth OF all kinds to ,:,,ay not only the
principal, bpt the interest upon the
debt Thus the absorption of the peo-
pies wealth By the owners of evidences
OF indebtedness, interest bearing Sc
cur1ties and such properties as rail-
roads, etc, etc, increases in rapidity as
the per capita circulation decreases in
volume.
Tue apparent prosperity of the peo-
pie, as measured by deposits. under
our present banking system. is in real
ity an evidence of the very reverse of
prosperity. Increased deposits call for
increased bank reserves, which de-
creases the volume of money In active
circulation and increases its purchasing
