The Bishops Triumph.

The late Bishop Selwyn delighted to
tell the following racy incident in his
varied experience: While Bishop OF
Litchtield he was walking one day in
the Black country, and observing a
group of colliers seated by the road
side in semi-circle, with brass ket-
tie in front of them, he had the curl
osity to inquire what was going on.
why, yer honor" replied grave
looking member of the group, cts a
sort of wager. Yon kettle is the prize
for the fellow who can tell the biggest
lie, and am the umpire"
Amazed and shocked, the good bishop
said, reprovingly: "Why, my friends, l
have never told lie that l know OF
since | was born"
There was dead silence, only broken
by the voice of the umpire, who said in
n deliberate tone: Give the bishop
the kettle"

During this week the Democratic
county candidates will tour the fourth
district, and they should receive a
reception in every town that will ex-
press to them the warm feeling which
exists in the lower end for the ticket.
Many, of course, will be backward in
aiding the candidates because they
cannot conscientiously support the
congressional nominee, but their feel
ings on that point should not be al
lowed to interfere with their work for
the county ticket. 1t is a good one,
every man on it is Democrat and
deserves to be elected.

A decision of the supreme court,
noted elsewhere in this issue, holds
that county courts have no power to
arbitrarily withhold a retail liquor Ii
cense when an application for the
same is made in proper form and the
requirements Of the license law have
been fulfilled. This will take from
the courts a power that was used
very often to futher political schemes
and it also is in line with the opinion
held by many, that one citizen is as
much entitled to this privilege as
another. The ruling should do away
with the favoritism and discrimina.

ing licenses.

IMPORTANT DECISIONS.
supreme Court Rulings Upon Corpora
ton Tax and Retail Liquor Licenses.

ton Tax and Retail Liquor Licenses.
The revenue act of 1891 contains
phraseology which Auditor General
Gregg construed to require an immovable
appralsment of corporate stocks for taxa
ton by capitalizing their net earnings
upon per cent basis. Whenever the
capital stock of company was appraised
| upon lower basis the auditor general
set the appraisement aside and in every
instance charged tax upon valuation
reached by multiplying the net earnings
by one hundred and dividing by six.
Several of the companies appealed from
this decision, also from the Judgment OF
the Dauphin county court. The counsel
for the companies contended that the
stocks were to be taxed at their actual
value in cash and not upon any artificial
basis. The Dauphin county court sus.
tained this construction and il is now
partly affirmed by the supreme court.
The Delaware, Susquehanna and
Schuylkill Railroad Company was one of
the companies which appealed. 1t ap-
praised its capital stock at So, 900, 900 and
the auditor general charged tax upon the
basis of S., 100000. Judge Simonton, of
the Dauphin county court, concluded
that the stock was of the actual value of
S4,OOO,O0O and taxed it upon that basis.
Both sides appealed to the supreme
court. Congressman Wolverton and Mr..
Lamberton contended, not only against
the right of the auditor general, but also
against the right of the court to raise the
valuation, but it seems the supreme
court affirmed Judge Simonton's ruling
taxing the company upon $4,OOO,OOO.
In the case of the Alden Coal Com
pany, another Luzerne corporation, the
court reached valuation of the stocl,
somewhat between the company's re-
port aid the auditor generals result,
the decision being in the main favorable
to the company
There are over 600 appeals from SINH
lar cases pending in the Dauphin county
courts, but it now seems that each one
VIII have to be tried out upon its merits,
for while the courts do not sustain the
auditor generals construction of the law
they may, nevertheless, find the actual
value of the stock to be greater in some
cases than the amount returned by the
corporation, in which case the state will
get the benefit.
Another decision of general interest is
embodied in an opinion handed down
by Justice McColum in the appeal of
BARLEY Kelminiski from the refusal of
the Northumberland county court to
grant him retail liquor license. The
application was in due form and eighty
five citizens certified to the necessity for
the saloon. There was no opposition to
the granting of the license. The su-
preme court holds that the license should
be granted and that the county court has
no discretion to arbitrarily withhold
licenses in retail as it has in wholesale
cases.

Luzerne county has had a record
of murders for some years past that
cannot be considered creditable. The
assassins, in nine cases out of every
ten, escape with apparent ease, and
even when captured it is almost i'm
possible to convict them. Within q
month two brutal murders have been
committed within few miles of the
courthouse-an Arabian peddler was
shot down by highwaymen at South
Wilkes Barre and a Polish boarding
boss dealt with in the same manner
near Miners Mills. The lives of these
men may not have been of any great
value to the county, but they were
human beings and when the lives of
such are taken the murderers should
not be allowed to escape There is
something wrong and an investiga-
tion would not be out of place

A correspondent of the Hazleton
Standard says: eve would like to
know on what theory man claims to
be a sound Democrat, if he gives
even passive support to men and
principles diametrically opposed to
what he himself has held, taught and
preached. Let us at least be logical,
if we do fail at times to be consistent. J"
Here is an opportunity for certain
tariff reform Democrats, and a few free
traders, to tell by what hocus-pocus
methods Of reasoning they feel obliged
to support Congressman Hines. The
Democratic candidate for governor
says Democratic protectionist is a
fraud, and Judge Black, as staunch a
Democrat as ever breathed, declares
a man cannot be a protectionist and
be a Democrat. The Hines Demo
Gratis ought to answer the correspon-
dent and explain their paradoxical
position in giving support to a man
whose principles are ''diametrically
opposed" to the teachings of Demo
cracy. Do tell, even though you can
not be either logical or consistent.

The disruption of that huge railroad
corporation was of the utmost im-
portance to Freeland, and was probably
of no small benefit to the d. S. & S.
Company. Instead of taking twelve or
fifteen crews of railroad men away from
the town to locate at Roan-because that
number of crews could handle and
transfer to the Reading at Roam all the
coal of Coke Bros. q Co.-the fall of the
combination compelled the D. S. & S.
management to seek new alliance with
the Lehigh Valley, thereby making the
headquarters at Drifton, adding largely
to their rolling stock and doubling the
number of employees, all of whom reside
in Freeland or vicinity.
Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1894-10-08

The effect of all this is very plain in
Freeland today. The business people
look forward to a brighter future, feel
ing secure that the town is destined to
become greater, larger and more pro-
gressive, Other things have undoubted-
ly contributed to make the residents
positive in their faith of the towns
future, but this move of the d. S. & S.
people was the turning point in Free
lands history and no amount of persua-
sion could induce some folks to believe
in the town until they saw that Coke
Bros 4 Co. were sincere in their efforts
to assist.
Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1894-10-08

Empty dwelling houses were also
numerous and many more were to be-
come vacant, because the railroaders
would find it necessary to move to
Roam, where the D. S. 4 S. Company
was about to establish its headquarters.
There were not many residents in Free
land who were in love with the Reading
combination, but recent events, and
shrewd management by the officials of
the D. S. q S. Company, established
the fact that had the combination con-
tinued to the present day, the building
of this locomotive house at Roam would
have been certainty, and of all the
towns affected along the line of the
Lehigh Valley Railroad, Freeland
would have received the severest shock.

When the announcement was made
that the railroad company's head
quarters would, without further ques-

came noticeable immediately-store-
rooms and dwellings were tenanted,
better and larger buildings commenced
to 90 up, building lots sold at advanced
prices and property in general increased
in value. Such a prompt recognition of
the possibilities of the future, devoid of
artificial booming, is a credit to our
people and shows that they possess fore
sight of no small degree.

The building of the D. S. d S. Rail
road Company's round-house at Drifton
is now an established fact and as such it
is looked upon with favor and general
satisfaction by the people who have an
interest in Freeland. The location of
this structure meant much for or against
the towns future, and the rumors of its
location elsewhere, which were sent
adrift at times during the past two years,
created a great deal of uneasiness in
business and real estate circles. At one
time, just before the dissolution of the
Reading combination, when prepara-
tions were being made to erect it at
Roam, the town looked the picture of
despair, there being sixteen storerooms
and business places vacant on Centre
street alone.

On Thursday William Henry Hines,
candidate for congress, dropped into
town. He looked much better than
when here on some former occasions.
Perhaps he is playing in the role of
the Thanksgiving turkey-getting in
condition for the November slaughter.
Mr.. Hines had been due in the fourth
district for ten days previous, but prob
ably he was unable to dodge the rest of
the Democratic candidates and that
caused the delay. His record in the
last session of congress gives an abun-
dance of proof that he is an artful dodger,
but ! am afraid he has played the dodg-
ing business to extremes, from the fact
that the ayes and nays will not be
confined to the walls of congress when
the roll is called next month.
Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1894-10-08

1t is not my intention to cast any re-
Election upon Mr.. Hines Democracy.
There is not particle of the party's
principles about him large enough
to be found with a magnifying
glass, therefore, it is safe to say
no injury to his health or character will
arise from attempting to throw light
upon his Democracy. He has none, nor
never had, He was always the nine
workers champion (O, but when he has
anything to give them in return, his
love for them is like his Democracy
merely question of dollars and cents.
His appearance here last week left the
impression that this will be free-for all
political race on the Democratic side and
the man having the most fences" in
each legislative district will corral the
largest vote, but the impression is
subject to change when the other candi-
dates are heard from.
