JAMES I!. 11(11.LAND.
The Philadelphia newspapers have
been publishing despatches from Wash-ington
saying that James II. Holland
would in- appointed United siaies nis-trict
Attorney tor the Hasten District
of Pennsylvania this week.
The following Is taken from the led-ger:
Attorney Qeneral Qrlgnyj confirms
the report that James II. Holland nt
present Naval Olllce.r nt Philadelphia,
will be appointed to succeed James M.
Meek, ns I'nited States Attorney for the
Eastern District of Ponnsylvnnln.
The chnnge will not be mnde. however,
until Mr. Beck completes certain bus-iness
of his office now in hnnd and re-ipiiring
his personal attention. The
Department has high regard for Mr.
Beck personally and Officially, His re-tentJon
was urged by many members
of Hie Mar of Philadelphia and other
Influential gentlemen of Hint city, re-gardll
ss of pally, but the pressure I'm-
Hie appointment of a Republican ti
succeed him was so persisted Hint Hie
Department yielded, and Mr, Holland,
who was urged strenuously by Senator
Penrose and the Republican represen-tatives
from the enstern part of the
Stnte. will be appointed. Mr. Holland
wns nlso strongly recommended by the
legal fraternity, and the satisfaction
with which he has discharged Hie dut-ies
of naval officer and the nblllty nnd
efficiency displayed by him as Prose-cuting
Attorney of Montgomery county
has v in i he commendation of the le-gal
fraternity, it is expected the
change will he made before tliendjourn-nienl
of Congress. Waller Mcrrlck. of
TiOga, is named as the probable suc-nessor
of Mr. Holland in the naval of-fice.

Philadelphia, May 81, 1900
Following the recent surprising an-nouncement
that l.cvi Wells had re-signed
as Hairy ami Food Commission-came
another when the Pure Food
Commission unanimously recommend-on
the lion. Jason BextOD, of North
Wales. Montgomery county, for ap-pointment
as Wall's successor, The
matter is now. or shortly win he. in
the hands of Covcinnr Slone and It Is
hoped that the appointment will not be
regarded us a political affair and will
he made as recommended. This will
give another Important office to a
Montgomery county citizen. There is
no one in the entire Stats of Pennsyl-vania
better quallfled to fill the posi-tion,
and it is needless to say that with
Mr. Sexton iii charge of Ibis very Ini-portant
Office, there will be fewer srnn-dals
connected With thai department
and a more stringent enforcement Of
the laws governing the sale of com-modities
furnished throughout the
Commonwealth. During the past ton
years then has been an Immense quan-tity
of adulterated foods, impure milk.
11 lest i unable butler and suspicions coin -
modules of every description sold over
the counters of even reputable dealers
and the health of ourselves nnd our
families has been Imperiled how often
no one can tell. It is absolutely nee
DSSSry, for the snkc of the health of
the community, that food be supplied
•is pure as possilde. How many deaths
have resulted during the last decade,
from impure foods? Mow many in
fnnts have been killed or physically
wrecked through the ageucjsipf impure
milk? The figures will %rvor lie
known.
• • •
No one who knows Jason Sexton
.ecu his most inner political enemy
will for one minute doubt thai as
Dairy ami Food Commissioner be will
leave any sionc unturned to see thai
every law is complied with. No bribes
can be offered to him Without the brib-er
being Immediately brought to jus-tice.
An honorable man. with a life-long
record for personal honesty and n
conscientious hntred against anything
obnoxious to his own conscience Mi
Sexton would be an admirable official.
0Ut aside from this an Important mat-ter
which will strongly endorse bis ap-pointment
Is his fitness for the position
by reason of his practical experience,
especially in regards to dairy matters.
Mr. Sexton has been associated with
dairy nnd /tanning inlm-esls during the
greater part of bis sixty six years of
Existence. Bui tow have had the op-portunities
offered Mr. Sexton tor gain
ing ii practical knowledge n( affairs
relating to agricultural mutters.

An entertainment for the benefit of
'he Young Men's League will be given

Probably the- only objection which
will be raised against Mr. Sexton's ap-pointment
is thai he has been an anti-
Qnaylto, That is true, Mr. Sexton has
been opposed to Mr. Quay for a num-ber
of years, but We must credit him
with being honest in these convictions.
He had mi personal motives and in Ibis
connection was s rarity tor the gn il
er majority of Quay's opponents were
men who had political axes to grind or
some other personal, mercenary or
sordid motive. When first elected to
SF
the legislative Mr. Sexton was known
to he an anti-Qunyitc and was sleeted
as SMI h. He did not do as si.nie others
did, pledge to do one thing and then
betray the trust. Mr. Sexton was hon-est
In all his political convictions and
n IC. for a piement, ever doubted
where be Stood. Still, it IS hard Io
Conceive why. if Mr. Sexton is side i led
for the office ns the most fitted cancli-late
his political actions should act
against htm. The office is too Import-nnd
to !>■ placed In the category of
political prizes. The men who recom
mend his appointment did so ns nnn-partJeans
and the appointment should
tic made in the same spirit.
« • •
.Mr. BeXton, is speaking of tin ||
gested appointment the other clay,said;
•The fact that my name was forwarded
iii the Governor tor consideration and
i.ie request for my appointment, was as
-.inch of a surprise to me as any one
nnI coming from the sonic- il does I
nprreclate it all the more as the people
wh ■ an back of all ibis strong agi i
- iii ii i n i organisation and who request
mj appointment, are not partisans,
but mi the contrary represent all par-ties
and all factions. Above all they
represent the real agricultural Inter-ests
of the state, if the appointment
is made by Governor Btone, 1 shall
certainly use every honest effort to
conduct llu- cifHc" of llaliy and Food
( ommissloner to the best of my abil-ity
and will do my inmost to see thai
deavor to eliminate thai feature, if it
exists."
• OS
Apropos ot iiw subject of partisan-ship
1 sincerely believe that Mr. Be*
ton has become tired of the phase
-i with [national differences with-in
nn Republican party, inning a
conversation with Mr. Bexton last
Se plelilber I asked him if lie would
.main he a candidate for Die Li'gis-
:niiii■' in 1900, io which he replied: I
hardly think so. if 1 feel the sain.
l do now when the matter
on.es up next summer, I hardly think
ii likely that I will be a candidate.
Suffered much menially from
i -lacks upon me regarding my op
a to Quay. My motives were
lioin si ones and not actuated by any
leslie for future reward or recognition.
11 Is not very pleasant for any man,
win> is endeavoring to do what he be-io
in- his conscientious duty, to
reel that he is being wrongfully ben-mred
ami berated by ■ certain portion
if bis ecinsisiueiicy. I never want to
make- any enemies ami I do wunl Io
hold the esteem of my friends. Mill
•onio what may I shall ever strive to
io my duty to myself and my fellow-men."

Mr. Sexton was born in Sharon,
Si in,baric county, New York, on Sep-tember,
81, 1884, and educated in the
public schools of that township. His
father was a tanner and therefore
Sexioii began life upon a farm and has
aver since been associated wilb ngri-
•uliiire and the dairy. He assisted his
father on the farm until September,
1863, when he Shouldered B musket,
mill ted in the army and joined the
nnks of the brave volunteers who were
lighting to preserve the I'nion. He
was assigned to the Forty-fourth New

in which Mr. Sexton was fighting join-eel
Qoneral Sherman al Savannah,
Ueorgla, and remained with that army
until the close of the war. When peace
was declared Mr. S. xlon went home,
bunt; up bis gun. went out into tin
fields and resumed Iiis labors on the
f.irin and has been in that business ev-er
since. In the spring of 1876, Mi
Sexton moved to Montgomery a ty
and Immediately began to lake an ac
,,ve interest In the affairs relating to
igric iilliire nnd soon became known as
one ot the leaning agriculturists in the
Slai.. He served three or four terms
as president of the school board in
Springfield township, served several
terms as S member of the State Hoard
oi Agriculture and has been a director
of the North Wales National llnnk
since its organisation. In the spring
of 1896 Mr. Sexton wns announced as
a candidate for the Stnte Assembly.
He was not on the slate nnd the lead
.-is at first disinclined to recognize Iiis
candidacy. So popular did this can-didacy
become, however, and such a
cry went up In behalf of Farmer Sex-
Ion thai he was nominated with the
endorsement of all factions, and In No-vember,
i^u;. was elected by 6812 ma-jority,
having received 16,821 votes as
