Harrisburg, I'a., March 18. Tho j change in public sentiment among members of tile senate and tho house uj repr ntatives in favor of the en largement of Capitol Park noted two weeks ago, is uiueh more pronounced ;k present than it was then. The Fox bill has passed the senate by a vote of 33 to 7. When it comes ui> in the house, which it probably will this week or next, it is believed that whatever opposition there was will !. . ..e disappeared because the members e conw to better realize the ueces of making the improvement now 1 because they have learned that the ntiment of the people of the state t, 'lierally is favorable. Several of the leading daily papers :: ! J hilad« lphia have taken the trouble ti.. inform themselves of the exact sit • !;.<!:on with the result that they are all heartily in favor of the Fox bill. In a re> nt editorial article the Plilla d iphia Inquirer, tho one out-and-out p.publican orvan among the dailies I'hllad Iphia, most heartily approved M.e measure. '! he R-publican Philadelphia Press o- Sunday, liartli 10, in a leading edi tor il said, "The present legislature has a unique opportunity to carry out a : Pi- t public improvement in Harris- | burg through the passage of the bill :v. oduceii by Senator Fox appropriat- ! ii'; iu adequate sum to develop a park • lof the state capitol. Therg should j • - no hesitancy on the part of the ! If"-i--latur« to secure now what should i litre been secured two years ago.! .s'oue of tl.ose who are back of the park j roj ct either connived at or stood for • ,e enormous expenditure on the capi- \ . but tliev have in season and out | ( season insisted that the legislature | ric (he situation created by the new ( • ol in a progressive manner. And j Mo legislate; i should realize that such ! p.irk a.-; is contemplated is not only j a b'./iieflt to Harrisburg but to the stale i .il large." i i r.n editorial published Monday, M:'i-eh 11, Lb' Democratic Philadelphia j lie.: ii said rrviording the capitol ex- ' ten:- ii bill: "'There is hardly a doubt j that the house will concur in the ac- ' lion of tho senate. The state is rieh ' and can aiii rt 1 ':o be liberal, especially j tl. re is nit . y of the taxpayers al- i on hand to cover more exigent j iit•, *c!s '' I T o Philadelphia Public Ledger, in- | dependent in polities, said in an edi- i tori .1 article published on Tuesday, Ai:■; * h 12: ' extension of Capitol I i'a , as provided in the bill, which ] ha? already passed the senate, is so J;. 1 exrravaganco that it is really i a nieasirof economy. * * * It i i: iieer v::>«te to erect a capitol build- I intv and have it encompassed by j • :■ lor and deso'ntion.

Philad. lohia has l.ad many j OK\ of iu;"4 ■ public improvements I of this kind too long deferred, as in j th failure to reserve sufficient space j around the city hall. The legislature 1 will he greatly at fault if ii refuses the present opportunity to make a really great city of that neglect, d capi tal of Pennsylvania. * 0 * Harri burg in its situation and surrounding.; has the making of a most attrae.ive city. The state has done little or noth- I iug for it. treating it generally as a ; mere railway station. The present project is not for the benefit of the residents alone, though it will be a direct help and encouragement to them in their own civic enterprise. It is rather a duty to Pennsylvania. The present legislature probably cannot re c> ver the money spent on the new capitol, but it can do much to coni l " :ite for the excessive expenditure 1 y providing such surroundings for -• building as will make it in the '■we to come a delight and pride to the i;Ole state." I" >t a few doubting legislators were (•■ vinced of the propriety of voting ! • Senator Fox's bill by an ill ustrated ! : ure given by .1. Horace MeFarland i; tho hall of the house of roprcseiita t" s last Wednesday night. !■:>• means of more than 100 lantern v:. I■-•£". Air. .MeFarland showed how the ( a dtel at Washinj"'ou and the capitols of various states in the Union are sur r :nded l.y beautiful grounds, afford in,; fine views of those great struc ture'!. 1! > also showed the squalid and in.attractive condition of the section r Ing inimediately back of Pennsvlva* r.i • s new state capitol which it is pro ji ed tot. ke and clear off. Mr. MeFarland further showed how t' city of Harrisburg proposes to give for this gieat improvement streets of i';e city amounting to more than nine i •os of land, or more than one-third i all that it is proposed to utilize for ■: ' enlargement of the park. ifo also showed how within the last five years Harrisburg and its citizens Shave spont many million dollars to i:n- j j prove U.e. city, in building a modern i j sewer providing pure water, ! i many hundreds of acres of tine parks j j and 40 miles of well-paved, clean 'streets, of which the legislators, state ; | officials and employes who spend the j j whole or a portion of the year h<*re I j have tho same use as the citizens of , Harrisburg, the same use as though i the stale had helped to pay for these | i great improvements, which it has not. I • j \o IVew I.iuht. j Said the Springfield Republican of ' Nov. 5: "Tuesday's election may throw j ,;ouie light upon the question of the j j future sanctity of the Dingley rates ad • valorem." The election lias come and j i gone, but the light Is not a new one. ] ! it is the same old light—the baleful "• I light of the tariff wrecker?. In couse- j tjuence of this light a protection croft j has here and there gone on the rocks. . Not all the wrecks, however, are pro- j tection wrecks. lu one stale a sena- ! toiial and presidential aspiration has j been knocked to pieces by a plurality of 20.000, where more than 80.000 Is the j normal, while in another state another ' rampant "reformer" in another party . has been exhibited to the world as an absolute failure as a vote getter. If the wreckers take pride in the election results it is not. altogether without rea sou. But there is compensation. Tlii. l<lra« Brans:*-. I think that the idee! grange will bo one which gives some attention to all phases of the individual needs-the so cial. the intellectual, the tiuancial, the j political and the moral or" inspiring j side. It is a mistake for any grange j to permit any one factor to dominate. \ Nevertheless the grange finds people j coining to it with all sorts of prepara j (ion for grange service, with all kinds I of tastes and with all degrees of edit j cation, if it is to live and thrive it j must deliberately cater to these vary- j ing needs. —Professor l'.nttertield.
