Ik* ptUfcfim THURSDAY, JAN. 13TII, 1887. Published by R. A. BUMILLER. Democratic State Committe. In accordance with the rules of the Democracy of Pennsylvania,the Dcm ocratic State Committee will meet at the Bolton House, in the city of Ilnr risburg, at 4 p. m., on Wednesday, Jan. 19, to elect a Chsirman, Perma nent Secretary, aud seven members of the Executive Committee ; and also to fix the quadrennial apportionment of Delegates to the State Convention. J. B. LICBTY, W. U. HENSEL, Secretary. Chairman. A BILL appropriating $50,000 for a battle monument at Gettysburg has been offered in tho senate by Senator Cameron. It provides $25,000 for the maintenance of the land-marks on the field. THE inauguration of the new gov ernor of Pennsylvania will take place on next Tuesday, Jan. 18th. llarris burg will of course put on its best •'duds'* and there will be a genuine old fashioned republican time. BLAINE stock is getting below pnr. The latest in* polities is the intention of Republicans to put upSenatorCam eron as a candidate for the presidency in 1888, in case Blaine should have the cheek to again claim the nomina tion. PRESIDENT CLEVELAND is said to have completely recovered from his rheumatic attack which had made him a sufferer for several months Though his sickness was at no time consider ed dangerous, the reports in the daily press made it bad enough. • SENATOR COOPER gracefully declines the appointment as secretary of the state in a letter to Gov.-elect Beaver. No doubt General Beayer feels reliev ed now. The matter reached a deli cate stage, for the new governor had promised the office to Cooper and at the same time the republican politic ians objected to the appointment on constitutional grounds. Taking it in all Gov. Beaver will have a hard time of it till he gets the different offices filled to the satisfaction of all the hun gry applicants. As the time [for the election of a county superintendent of public schools approaches the names of several gen tlemen who would be eminently fit to fill that position suggest themselves to the minds of the people. A writer from Centre Hall to the Daily News recommends Rev. Chas. Steck, of Bellefonte, but is not sure if that gen tleman would accept the nomination. Be that as it may, we are certain that Rev. Steck would make as efficient a superintendent as he is a preacher. Again, the voters should make it a point to put a man there who will handle the functions of this important office as ably as the present superin tendent has done. THE apportionment of the state into congressional districts will be among the most important work of the new legislature and as to the probable shape in which the apportionment bill may be expected to come before the senate the following article from the Patriot will throw some light on the subject. It remarks that Senator James S. Rutan i 3 said to be the com ing chairman of the senate committee on apportionment The senator oc cupied the same position when the present apportionment was made In 1874 ind though he has been for some years absent from the legisla ture it may be said that he is familiar with the work which will devolve on him as chairman of that committee. He has had a wide experience both in politics and legislation, and though a partisan ot the strictest sect, he is cot innately an unfair man. But polities is politics and Senator Rutan is a leader in the republican party. The party will no doubt insist on the enactment ot a partisan appor tionment bill, and Senator Rutan will be both able and willing to help his party in its aspirations on that point. It may reasonably be assumed there fore that the party demand for a ger rymander will not be discouraged by the chairman of the committee on ap portionment, but no doubt will be promoted by him in every particular. He is not a man to falter when party interests are involved. But the Constitution rather than party interest should be the guide of the chairman ot the committee on ap portionment in framing a bill to divide the congressional districts. The chairman was amoDg the first and most -emphatic to insist that the organic law should be respected in the formation of the governor's cabinet. What reasons are there that bind the governor-elect to support this instru ment that do not apply with equal force to the senators and members of the legislature ? It is to be hoped that Chairman Rutan will carefully consider this subject when he goes about making an apportionment bill. WASHINGTON LETTER. (From our regular correspoiuionl.) WASHINGTON, Jan. 11,1557. The week's work in Congress can bo easily summarized, as the Smate was in session only three days and the House four. Besides a good deal of other private legislation the Senate pensioned the widow of General Logan at $2,000 a year, secretly discussed the Mexican Reciprocity treat, and debated the important pending hill on Inter state Commerce. The House passed three of the regular Appropriation hills, several dozen private pension hills, and discussed hills on the Public Buildings and Nav.tl Reorganization. But what should be emphasized in the work of a Democratic House is the passage.witli mit opposition, and without any pro vision for Confederate soldiers, of a pension hill for the current year appro priating over $70,000,000. This amount is nearly as much as were the entire expenses of the Gov ernment before the war, and it ought to put the Republican ranters of the last Presidential campaign to the blush, if anything could. Democratic close fistedness, indeed. Wherein does it consist ? Senator Bock has by no means given up bis intention of pushing bis bill to prohibit members of Congress from act ing as attorneys for railroads which have received Government aid,although his long silence had led some of tlio railroad Senators to hope that they would not again t>e confronted by this bugbear. It is a sore trial for them to have to face this dreadful measure, especially since they know it is urged forward bv a practically unanimous public sentiment. The debate on the Interstate Commerce bill is being long drawn out in the Senate as a shield to keep Mr. Beck oil, but even it must come to an end when all the sneakers have made their speeches for or against it. „ „ It seems that the Revenue Reform question is really coming to the front now, and that another effort will be made to reach those surplus millions. This time it will be by the internal rev enue men, Mr. llandall and his follow ers. They will advocate that the whole of the tobacco tax he removed, that the tax on alcohol used in the arts be a bolishbd, and that fruit brandies be re lieved or tax, but as to whether they will attempt any Tarriff alterations, no one can predict. The members of Congress from tobaccoprodueing states feel that it is a duty they owe their constituents to vote for the repeal of the internal tax on tobacco in almost any shape that.it might he presented. These are exciting days for the Sen ators whose terms expire on the fourth of March, and there are many indica tions that the Senate will he much changed after that time, hut whether or not it will be improved in character or ability is an open q lestion. Senator Conger, of Michigan, who has oeen in public life for thirty-two vears, is to l>o succeeded by Col. Stockbridge. because the latter is a richer man. The long bearded Republican millionaire from Nevada, Mr. W. M. Stewart, is coming back for another term. No one objects to him, however, as he was rather a lively man in the Senate, and having a pretentious looking residence here, i takes a good deal of interest in the im provement of Washington city. It is still doubtful who will get Gen. Logan's place, but Pennsylvania sends Mr. Quay, a well-known boss and in triguer, instead of Mr. Mitchell ; and Minnesota sends ex-Governor Davis, a tarriff reformer, a writer of a book on Shakespeare, and a so-called orator in place of Mr. McMillan. Nebraska is hesitating between a demagogue and a magnate,and California is still in doubt as are also New York, Massachusetts, Tennessee, and other states. As to the present condition of De mocracy and what it is doing, Gen. Blaek, Commissioner of Pensions.gives a picture in a recent letter to Allen G. Thurman, which is calculated to re joice the heari of every one to whom is dear.
