A Question OF ConstitntlOnality.

The question has been raised as
to whether the magistrates elected
III November shall take possession
of their offices January LIST with the
other officers elect or not. The
present magistrates were elected
for four years from June, 1891,
which term will expire in next
June. The new constitution pre-
scribes that they shall assume the
duties of the office next month, but
it is the opinion of some able law
yers that neither the legislature nor
the constitutional convention had
the right to abridge the term of a
constitutional office. With an of
flee created by the legislature and
not by the constitution, the case is
different. For instance, the term
of county superintendent was shor-
tened about two weeks by the last
Legislature, and upon a former oc-
casion the school commissioners
were legislated entirely out of of
flee. Tho Office of magistrate, how
ever, was created by the old consti-
tuition, and such being the case, it
is not believed that the term of an
officer elected undera previous con-
stitution can be shortened by the
the last one. 1t is thought that an
agreed case will be presented to
the court of appeals for adjudica-
tion.-Winchester Democrat.

The pension bureau has decided
that widows who have an income
sufficient for support without the
aid of tho government do not oc-
cupy pensionable status, and
their pensionswill hereafter not be
allowed. This is step in tho right
direction, and will go great ways
toward correcting the abuse of the
pension laws.

We are in receipt of the annual
report of the postmaster general OF
tho United States for the year end
ed June 30, 1894, an examination
of which leads to the conclusion
that it is the most comprehensive
publication that ever issued from
that department. The postmaster
general recommends that congress
take some action with regard to
the abuses of the second class rates
of age, and suggests that only
legitimate newspapers and legiti-
mate magazines shall be entitled
to the privilege of pound rates.
We sec where he is right, and we
hope congress will give him law
in line with his recommendation.
Proper restrictions would give the
Legitimate publisher protection to
enable him to improve his publ
cation and at the same time put a
quistus to questionable advertising
sheets.

Amended Ballot Law.

The attention of voters in Columbia
county is called to the change that has
been made in the ballot law in refer
ence to the manner of filing nomina.
tion papers.
Last year the nomination papers for
candidates for township and borough
officers and election officers and school
directors, were required to be filed
with the township or borough auditors,
whose duty it was to have the tickets
printed and delivered to the election
officers. Now the County Commits
sioners are required to have all tickets
printed, and are held responsible for
the safe delivery of the same to the
election officers, either on Saturday or
Monday before the day of election.
Section S, of the amended ballot
law reads as follows
"Certifcates of nomination and
nomination papers for candidates
for township and borough
officers, and election officers and
school directors in the same, shall be
fed with the County Commissioners
at least eighteen and fifteen days re-
spectively before the day of election. y

The Man from 0wonta.
WORKED THE RoGUs CHECK SCHEME ON
A SUBURBAN.

TIE willy confidence man vas agin
at work III tn, city, aoi his latest We
tim is J &. Culp, the Market stTe,t
s;uve snh tin merchant. On Friday
morning a stranger called at his store
to purchase some household goods.
He said his name was Thomas Smith
and that his home was in Owonta, N.
Y. He was about fifty years old and
wore grand Army button. He told
Mr. Culp that he was stopping at the
Central Hotel and tnat he was going
to work for the Pennsylvania com
pany here. He expected to move his
family here and wanted to rent a
house. After minutes inspection Of
CUPS stock he bought range, a
second hand heater and some cook
ing utensils. The bill amounted to
SSI. Then he and Mr.. Culp went
out to hunt house. They met Jacob
Bartholomew on the street and he
rented to the genial Mr.. Smith
house on Eighth street in East Sun
bury. The three men went out to
look at the house and everything in
regard to it was satisfactorily arranged.
No lease was signed. Culp and
Smith returned TO the store and Smith
presented a check, drawn on the
Owonta bank in his favor, for $oz as
paymen of his bill. Culp SAID that
he could not cash the check.
Culp endorsed the check and Smith
got it cashed at the Sunbury Trust
and Safe Deposit baLk. He returned
to the store and paid Culp his $5r.
Smith sat around the store until noon,
when he left and Cup hasn't seen him
since. He said that he had been EN-.
p'oyed by the Delaware & Hudson
company at Oyonto. Culp took the
stoves and utensils out to the rented
house and they are there yet. Th .rc
are two banks at Owonta and the
check has not yet been returned. The
statement Of Smith in regard to get.
ting position on the Pennsylvania
road was rather h,hy, considering the
number of suspensions Culp is OF
the opinion that the check is bogus,
but says that Smith looked honest and
acted horest. He did not stop at the
Central Hotel while here. The police
authorities at Williamsport and Har-
risburg have been notified to arrest
MIR. Smith. .Sunbury Democrdt.

F. V. Rockafellow, the Wilkes
Barre banker, who was convicted of
embezzlement, was sentenced last
week to pay fine Of $r2so and un.
dergo Imprisonment in the Eastern
Penitentlary for a term of two years
and two months. Judge Lynch In
imposed sentence, said that he had
due consideration for the age of the
prisoner, he being past 10 years, and
had made the sentence as light as pos
sible. After the sentence was pro-
nounced Rockafellow sat with bowed
head, and wept bitterly he was then
taken to the Jail and placed in a cell.
Later dispatch came from the Su
preme court in Philadelphia granting
the special allocutur and admitting
him to bail in the sum of $4,000.
His attorney, John T. Lenahan, be-
came his bondsman and he was re-
leased from Jail. The bail holds good
until April, when t.. Supreme Court
will decide the petition for a new
trial. Mr.. Rockafellow spent much
OF his time in jail reading the papers.
The peculiar part o. 80 case is that
MIR. Rockafellow never .cvealed what
became of the 100000 CT the deposi
tors money.

The report going the rounds of the
newspapers to the effect that State
Superintendent Schaeffer is in favor
of compulsory education proves to be
incorrect In an interview recently
he said "There is no use to talk
about compulsory education in the
cities until an exact school census is
taken and we find out just where we
stand. 81 shall probably ask the next
Legislature to provide the way for
such census to be secured. | am
inclined to favor plan similar to the
one in vogue in Massachusetts,, which
allows the School Directors to pro.
vide conveyances to take the children
of sparsely settled regions to school,"

The Department of Public Instruc-
ton, at Harrisburg, will ask the next
Legislature to increase the minimum
school term, which is six months.
Some years since the minimum term
was FIVE months. The Department
thinks that the time has come to make
it seven months. The fact that twelve
other states surpass our own in this
respect would seem to be good reas-
on for making the increase. The
generous appropriations for school pur.
poses show determination on the
part of the old "Keystore State" to
keep her place among the leaders in
educational matters, as well as in the
development of her wonderful mater
ial resources. Indeed, without the
former the latter must flag. 1t has
come to be accepted as an axiom that
the greatness of nation is based up
on virtuous and enlightened peol lie.
The states surprising Pennsylvania in
the length OF school term and the
number of day S in the respective terms,
are as follows: New Jersey, 100 days;
Rhode Island. ISS days; Maryland,
IS4 days; New York, IS5 days Con
necticut, 1873 days; Massachusetts,
III days; Delaware, $50 days; Ohio,
1866 days; California, I5o days ;
Wisconsin, 1886 days Michigan, 6
days; Iowa, I5S days.

WATCHING THE OPERATORS
Massilon, O., Sept. 4-This district is
watching TO see where the operators will
make the first effort TO open the mines.
The barrioade will be built of stout tim
9er TO withstand an attack. Boarding
houses will'oe built near the mouth of
the mines, in which the non-union men
will be sheltered. The moment that
lumber is hauled to any nine it will be
considered as a previous notice that work
will be started at that point 1t is
the prevailing opinion that the construc-
ton, of these temporary quarters will
have to be done under protection. Up TO
date there has been no lumber hauled in
the district The indications are that
opening of the mines will be delayed until
next week, or even later. A high board
fence is to form an outer work to the bar
ricade, and only persons employed in the
mines will be allowed to approach.

From the St. Louis Globe D emocrat.
81 saw the counterpart OF boys school
one day in the woods of Illinois," said an
amateur naturalist. 81 was sitting
quietly on log near creek when there
came pacing down a little path an old
mother raccoon with five young ones.
The little fellows were about as large as
half-grown cats, and were as full of fun
as that mythical basket of monkeys we
read about. If ever there was a hard.
worked teacher it was that poor mother
coon. She tried to teach the little imps
how to catch orawfsh and how to eat
them. When the old lady (she was a
very ladylike old COON got the little fell
lows in line at the waters edge she Sc
dately walked to rock and gravely
reached down into hole and brought out
a crawfish. She then proceeded to wash
it, but just as she was about to eat it one
little coon broke ranks and sole the
crawflsh.
This started row, and all the little
fellows were badly mixed. while the old
one was administering bites and cuffs in
discriminatory among the scholars She
finally succeeded in restoring order, and
then sent one of the little 'coons 70 try it
in another hole. Here is where the fun
began in earnest, and all the mischievous
boys that ever made teachers heart
ache were angels Of goodness when com.
pared to those little 'coons. They pinched
each others tails, nipped each Others
ears, bit each others legs and worried
the old coon until she turned to and gave
them general cutting all around.
1T seemed TO me that each little coon
knew his lesson perfectly. and was de-
termined to get all the fun out of the pro-
ceeding possible, for when the mother
coon got so angry that she made her
bites felt, the little fellows got down TO
business aud caught, washed and ate
their crawfsh with all the ability of vet
Grams.
1.-The comically grave faces of the little
fellows as they reached down into the
crawtish holes and CROPPED about for the
fish was too much for my disabilities, and
l gave such hearty laugh that the
school was Instantly dismissed"

there is no top crop making, growth hav-

the plant after the July rains began.
This luxuriant growth of weed has
given the crop deceptive appearance

an average crop. There is considerable
