Judge Metzger's Plain Talk.

Judge Metzger, OF Williamsport,
created quite sensation in court on
Saturday at the conclusion of action
on a number of deferred liquor
license applications. He drew from
his pocket copy of the local organ
of the prohibitionists, which made
an attack on him "for granting such
q largo number Of licenses and Civ
ing men the licensed privilege to
make criminals who would later ap.
pear to be sent to prison." The
Judge read the article, and then said
that he was growing tired of that
kind Of criticism.
"These people act" he said, Gas
if ! could do as | please in this mat
ter, whereas they sit idly by and
make no effort to prevent the grants
ing of the licenses that are so OBJ
jectionable to them. They do not
oven get up remonstrances, but wait
until action is taken and then abuse
the court. If they would come into
court and show good cause that a
license should not be granted l
would reject the application. When
applicants comply with the law, how
ever, and no objection is raised, it is
my duty to act favorably, as | have
done i'll the past, and as propose to
do in the future. If these people
want to stop the granting of licenses
they must act, not talk. Talk is
cheap.n

TO GET THEM DRUNK.
A Scheme on Foot TO Disband
COxey's Army.

CANTON, OHIO March ga
scheme to furnish the Common
veal army with Is or 90 gallons. of
bad whiskey has been set on foot, in
hopes that the soldiers may get
drunk and break up the expedition
before it gets beyond Alliance.
Whether this scheme is carried out
or not, there is good prospects that
trouble will be had within the next
day or two, Many of the Com mon
veal soldiers are murmuring against
Marshal Louis Smith, "the great
unknown" who has shown an ar
rogant spirit in governing them.
They threatened to turn on him and
"kick all kinds of stuf1ing out of
him." The Commonweal party
pitched Camp PETER at Louisville,
Ohio, this afternoon and at present

There have been many stories pui
i'll circulation in regard to the alb
sence of Henry Harding, ESQ, and
all Of them appear to be erroneous
10 say the least it is unjust for any
person to repeat hearsay in such a
matter. The facts of the case are
that on the 2Sth of February Mr..
Harding left home, as was thought.
to go to Philadelphia, but he did not
go there, and his prolonged absence
lead to an investigation which re-
suited in the finding of a sealed
package directed to his brother, Sam
uel Harding, of Eaton township.
The package contained letter in
which Henry Harding stated that
his health was such that he was un-
able longer to attend his business
matters, and therefore he was forced
to take a rest. He explained that
he was unable to close up his busi-
ness, and gave his brother power of
attorney to do so for him, stating
that should his health improve sufIl-
GENTLY he would return, and as soon
as there was improvement he would
be heard from. Samuel Harding
and his attorneys are now at work
closing up his business, which has
been found all straight. No other
package than the one to his brother
has been found. Henry Harding is
worth considerable property, and ill
health is the only reason, of which
there is any evidence, for his de-
parture from home, This is a cor
rect statement of facts in the case,
and there is no ground for further
uncharitable surmise on the matter.

Lawrence Bros. have awarded the

this Thursday. They have in their
employ half dozen men or so and
expect to complete the contract, if
this weather hold out, by the 1st of
May. We only know personally
one of the contractors-John Nc
Namar, and would say of him that with
fire water without he is u good man
and with fre-water within he is a
sham. John is no exception to the
rule and we would urge that John re.
main John during the fullfllment of
this contract. We say this for the
