ones self for the public good is noble,
generous and sublime but if every.
thing were to end with death, such a
sacrifice of life would be insanity, for
the soldier sacrifices, gratuitously
throws away, a something which if
death end all is of incalculable benefit
to him-his life. Destroy the belief
in the souls immortality, and there
will no longer exist sufficient motive
for heroic patriotism.
Eradicate this belief, and the world
becomes the theatre of anarchy and
crime. Remember the result of the
experiment when tried by France.
Figuier, the materialist, hesitated not
to say, "It was not patriotism but
materialism that destroyed the monu-
ments of France Destroy this be-

linked together by a belief in the inf:

Commissioners, we are informed, have decided
to test its constitutionality. But they can
not act until an appointment has been made
or the Office filled by an election. When
that is done they can then enter quo war
anto proceedings against the acting Con-
troller compelling him to prove his right to
hold the position. Such procedure will
bring the question before the proper legal
tribunal, and will efectually put at rest all
doubt as to the constitutionality of the act.
If the Commissioners have decided to test
the law their action will be approved by the
majority of the citizens. Their experience in
the past, and that of the Controller himself,
should be sufficient to prove to them the ad-
visibility of such move.
Governor Hastings should make the ap-
pointment Immediately, or at least before the
nominating conventions are held. Otherwise
the various candidates before the two county
conventions will hardly feel disposed to spend
their time and money in canvass, with a
probability that after the election the act
may he declared unconstitutional

COUNTY CONTROLLER.

Under an act passed by the last legislature
Governor Hastings is given the power to
appoint County Controller for Schuylkill
county to serve until the first day of January,
1896 Under the provisions of this act the
voters OF the county at the general election
in November next, will be called upon to
elect a person to that position to serve for the
term of three years, beginning January LIST,
1896 It is now two months since the
passage of the bill, yet Governor Hastings
has not availed himself of the privilege of
making the appointment although he has
had at least two applications before him
during that time.
There are several reasons Why the appoint
ment should have been made Immediately
Npon the act becoming a law. In the first
place had the Governor exercised hisauthor-
ity and made selection previous TO the dele
gate election ip this county, the insinuations
that are now made against him about using
the appointment aS a lash over the heads OF
the applicants and their friends to whip
them into line for GilLeson would have been
avoided, and he would have been relieved OF
the odium Of using the the exalted Office Of
Governor of this commonwealth in the inter
est Of certain faction of the party.
There are other and more important
reasons why the appointment should have
received early consideration. There appears
TO be some doubt as to the constitutionality
of the act and to relieve any uncertainty
that may exist in that respect the County
