Selling Liquor OH Memorial Day

The Pennsylvania State Depart
ment Encampment of the Grand
Army of the Republic, at its meet
ing in Lebanon on Wednesday of
last week, adopted the following
resolution in reference of Memorial
Day:
Resoloea, That the day set apart
as Memorial Day should be observed
in such a manner as to reflect credit
upon the Commonwealth of Pennsyl-
vania and to honor in fitting
manner tue sacred memories and
patriotic deeds of our departed CON-
rades we, Therefore give our earnest
endorsement to all measures that
have this patriotic purpose in view,
and to Shis end We promise our
hearty cooperation in favor of the
passage, of law by the Legislature
to prohibit the sale of intoxicating
drinks on Decoration Day.

Our neighbor exchanges says

or August and it would not be sur
prising if not until the 1st of Sep
tember the company will accomplish
much, Judging from the present out
look. They also quote seven or
eight hundred men at work on the

actual number engaged on the work

1t is to be no ped that the presen
will be the last year when the judges
will have to act as a license COM
mission. Senator Hackenbergs bill
divides the State into fourteen dis
tricts, in each of which licenses will
be dispensed by a commission of six
members, to be appointed by the Gov
ernor. The commissions are made
self-sustaining by the requirement
that each applicant shall pay a fee of
IS, but no commissioner is to receive
less than $1,000 or more than $4,000
yearly. The passage of the Hacken-
berg bill would remove the suspicion
that the State of Pennsylvania had
no confidence in the people. A prop
erly constituted commission can do
this work just as well as the judges.
Persons who are refused licenses
will, of course, say that they were
refused because they had no pull"
and that licenses granted were
granted because the applicants had
a "pull; !" but the commission can
stand this kind of talk better than
the courts can. The performance
of this unjudicial labor has already
done the courts of the State much
harm and the sooner it is discon-
tinued the better.

Office holders under Cleveland
during his first term are gnashing
their teeth and vowing vengeance,
because the President has declared
that they must stand aside for those
who have not yet had a chance at
the public crib. A large proportion
of those at Washington looking for
spoils are ex.office holders, and the
discovery that they are to be loft
out is sad blow. Rut it will be
good news for those who have been
on the hungry list for more than
thirty years.

FEW HAVE A SECOND CHANCE,


Office Holders Under Cleveland
Before to be Left Out Now.
WASHINGTON, March 9.-Repre.
sentative Springer, who was one of
the Presidents callers to-day, asked
him if the rule of not appointing
men who had held Office under him
four years ago was to prevail, as
reported.
The President replied in the
affirmative, and when asked if the
rule was infexible, Mr.. Cleveland
responded that it would be so sub :
stantially. There might be excep-
tional and extraordinary circum-
stances which might cause some
departures from it, but fs could not
call to mind many possibilities to
Justify a change from the policy
decided upon.
Mr.. Springer asked if the rule was
also to apply to fourth class post
Offices. Mr.. Cleveland's response
that he had not thought about that,
but he gave the decided impression
that it would prevail to as great ex-
tent as possible with the small post
masterships.
