having been made in the borough of Som
erset for non payment of taxes hX non
property owners. The arrests were de-
nounced as high handed outrage, and.if
the collectors ears are al all sensitive,
they must be ringing yet with the de-
nunciation that was poured upon him.
Citizens have frequently been disquali-
fed from exercising the right of fran

lieve nowhere in Pennsylvania have sin

threatened with imprisonment through
