The only feature In the local tobacco mar ket during the past week Is the very large atueuiil of baled leaf received at the city warehouses. The aggregate for the week sums up hundreds of thousands or pounds probably mere than it million ami, us the lccelpts huve been heavy for several weeks past, It is net u very wild statement te say that 1(1,000,000 iKHindfl of 'SI Pennsylvania tobacco are new lying In our warehouses, and dealers aie net yet tired buying.

There has been great variation In the prices paid for the crop. Many sides ero millions high as 25 cents for wrappers, and some wcre made us low us II ve cents through. 1'erhapsa fair average of the prices paid ler packings would be ten cents through, Fully three-fourths of the crop is Havana seed, and although theiu Is seme white vein mining It, the quality of the leaf ler cigar purposes Is equal te any euir grown hoie or elsowheie. .Should It euro well, as It appears likely te de, dealers Mill liuve u bonanza In It; and though fanners, have reason te complain at the low prices paid, they can console them selves with the icflccUeu that no ether vnp would Iiiimi paid them better.

The season has been se backward that hut few plants are sulllclently advanced for bet ting out, and even If they were ready and tlie ground weie ready, it would be impolitic te plant them, as durlngthu week theie liae been several "right smalt" frosts which would have damaged and maybe killed the tender plants. Probably little tobacco will be planted ter two weeks te come, and the bulk of the crop will net be set before the second week in June, which will lie qulte early enough te ensure a goedciop tiniler lavorable circumstances. There is much dlll'orence of opinion as te what the acreage will be computed with last year.

We heard the ether day of a citizen of Pennsylvania who Imagined that his repre sentative at Harrisbtiig was unduly con trolled by oue of the great railroad companies, and, In order te nieiiHiiru the Inllucnccs at Werk, determined te get at the value of u free pass te a member residing)!! Southern Penn sylvania. A pretty close count was made of the member's trips between the state capital and his home, mid the conclusion was cached that In the free-pass item alone tlie bribery amounted te net less than $150 or year. On the ether hand, we knew of a member of Congress, a former member of the Pennsylvania legislature, who has always returned his Ireo free-pass promptly te the railroad tendering It, and who says he prefers te pay his own way and feel his own inde pendence. Beth the above statements contain foist for thought. The forms of bribery are legion. Meney, power, position and a thous and ether things are used for the purchase of men. People in public position cannot be tee careful about accepting favors. A railroad company never yet Isjstowed a froe-pass without expectation of return, and cxjierl cxjierl ence has shown that our legislators have a tender feeling toward tlie big corporations.
