On assisted" Voters.

Speaking of assistance to voters,
at election, about which much
was said and written during the
last campaign, as IS generally
the case about election time,
President Judge, David Cameron
of Tioga County, In addressing
the grand jury and constables,
after quoting the law on this sub
ject said.
at is your duty to be present
when elections are held, not
with closed eyes, but to see that
the election laws are enforced
and to preserve the peace. 1t is
your duty to note well the fact of
the men requiring assistance
who do not need it. If you find
men whom you know to be ply
sically qualified to mark ballots
asking for assistance 1t Is your
duty to report the matter to the
court"
How often is it the case that
we see even the parties appointed
by the courts as watchers, and
even also, sometimes, constables,
who are only interested IN seeing
how many votes they can poll for
the particular party organization
with which they chance to be
politically associated, or the can
didate in whom they are partic
ulary interested at the time, re
gardless as to the legality OF the
vote. Generally speaking, what
we term watchers only watch
that no lllegal votes are cast by
the opposite party and shut thell
eyes when offered by those o1
their own political faith.

The Most Marrying Couple,

A new form of check swindle
has been worked 10 New York
with great success by ayoung
man and a young woman during
the last two months at least, and
they are still at large.
Their stock of capital appears
to have been q marriage license
and a check book in blank. With
this they began business and so
far as known are still at 1t. Their
plan was to go, apparently IN a
great hurry to get married, to a
minister, get the knot tied, hand
the clergyman acheck for twenty
dollars, get ten dollars IN change
and depart.
In this way they have been
married at least thirty times
since October 23 last, thirty diff
ferent ministers have thirty
worthless checks for $40 each,
and the much married pair have
gathered IN at least $500 in good
money.
The man is an engaging look
ing chap, glib of tongue, and the
woman pretty and apparently so
shy and modest that each OF the
thrifty ministers who paid ten
dollars for the privilege OF mar
rying the couple thought her as
wise and good as she Is fair.
All, well, for them the fond
hope rests, safely tucked beneath
their vests, that with iron key the
jallor may lock them up at an
early day.
