In commenting upon Judge Fursr's remark at the recent license court of Centre county,that ‘in Bellefonte there are three licensed houses and no speak- easies,”’ contrasting it with Huntingdon where “speak-easies’” abound in the absence of licensed houses, the Altoona Tribune says: It is very apparent that his honer is not well pasted coneerning Bellefonte. Knowing ones who visit that town periodically will laugh at the statement from the bench that there are no “speak-easies” there. Possibly:if his honor had given as much attentionito ferreting out “gpeak-easies” in Bellefonte as he seems to have done in Huntingdon, he would have been ‘rewarded by discovering numerous dens of vice in which drinking, gambling and other offenses against good morals go briskly on, as the swelled heads and empty pocket-books of the frequenters thereof will establish. The question of superior knowledge as to the existence of “speak-easies’ in Bellefonte is thus raised between the ‘Judge and the Tribune. The demoral- 1zed state of affairs which the latter represents as existing in this place is merely a matter of hearsay so far as its knowledgeis concerned. The Judge is on the spot and ought to be the better informed of the two. He is candid enough to admit that he has “personal knowledge’ of the existence of “speak- easies” in Huntingdon. The Judge should “speak easy” on this subject, as it is rather a delicate matter. But “W. T. Hoover . . : Eg Chas. H. Rush | he evidently intends his ‘‘personal als - DA.

There was but little reason to expect that the present State Legislature would do any better than those that immediately preceded it in enforeing ‘by proper legislation the long neglect- ed provisions of the constitution; there- fore it is not surprising that the Seanor Anti-Discrimination biil, which was designed merely to carry into effect a .plain.provision of the State constitu- tion; was regatived by the House Ju- diciary General committee. That com- mittee-simply obeyed the behests of the great railroad companies which find it to their interest to discriminate in freight eharges. The people are injured by such dis- _crimination ; they want it stopped, and in order that it should be stopped the ‘State constitution made it unlax ful But to.make this constitutional provi- ,sion operative a statute directly prohi- ibiting railroad discrimination and pro- widing a-punishment for it, is necessary; ‘but one. legislature after another has refused to pass such a law, and the pre- .sent one coolly follows the example of its predecessors by contemptaously throwing aside the bill which the peo- ple want so much and the constitution .empkatically. requires. The trzatment .of the Burdick pipe-line bill and the rejection of the Seanor anti-diserimina- tion: biil, both strangled in committee, confirm the fact that it is impossible for a Republican Legislature to get be- yond «the control of the corporations. ST BESS Canada Politics. The .élection last week was the most exciting and important event of the kind that ever.came off in Canada. It was an-clection of members of the Dominion parliamenton the question of closer trade relations with the Unit- ed States. The Conservatives, or To ries, under the leadership of Sir Jomx MoDoxsxp reduced the. question to one of loyalty to ®ritish supremacy, as they represented that a defeat of their party meast annexation to the Ameri- can Union. The Tories won a small parliamentary majority, but if the is- sue was as Sir Jory McDoxaLp put it there is a wonderfully large number of Canadians who want their country annexed to the United States. RAT Wn Sa The Republicans of the State Legislature who thus far in the session have suffered for the want of intelligent and effective gnidance, being like sheep without a competent shepherd, got to- gether on Tuesday eveningand selected a “steering committee,” which shall hereafter guide them through the de- vious ways of partisan legislation. A correspondent of the Press says they made another blunder in not including the Revenue Bill among the objects which are to be looked after and pro- moteditby the “steering committee.” But the correspondent should know that tax reform lies in a direction in which Republican Legislatures have not been in the habit of steering, EC A T————— [t%is proposed to turn the In- dians into soldiers in the pay of the United States government, the proposi- tion being to raise two regiments to be composed entirely of reskin fighters. Naturally the Indian is a warrior and could be put to better use in that way than in any other. We have black soldiers in our army, and why not red ones? With the three colors repre- sented, white, black and red, the Unit- ed States army would be the mest poly- chromatic organization in the world. Philadelphia's Disappointment. te. en The bill that passed congress and was signed by the President, authoriz- ing the erection of a new Mint in Phil- adelphia, tarns out to be a delusion and a disappointment. It appears that the congressmen from that city who had it in charge didn’t watch it close enough to.discover that while it provided for the erection of the build- ing ata cost of $2,000,000 it entirely overlooked the provision for the money that would be required to build it. Congressman BiNeraM is held respon- sible for this blunder, it never having occurred to him that it takes money to build Mints and that money can’t be used ‘or such a purpose without a special appropriation. The defective bill is in the hands of the Attorney General who is considering what can be done to overcome the difficulty. New York at the same time got a bill for a four million dollar custom house, but those who had it in «charge were smart enough to have the money pro- vided for it. —— Some of the Western legislatures are displaying a remarkably cranky disposition. In the Senate of Minne gota, for instance, a bill has been fav- orably reported providing that any “te- male person” who shall wear tights and expose her “nether limbs” in pub- lic shall be fined or imprisoned. It is upon such subjects as this that these legislators would show their morality, with the chance that few of them would resist the influence of corpora- tions or millionaires willing to pay cash for legislation. A Tardy Record. The Congressional Record has swell- ed to prodigious and useless proportions. Under the pernicious custom of giving members leave to print, at the public expense, long speeches which they nev- er deliver, being merely intended for buncombe circulation among their con- stituents, the Record has grown se that its volume in one session is now as large as it was in two sessions during the war when many new and tremend- ous questions were debated at great length. It must be said for the Congressional Record, however, that it is printed in time and delivered upon the desks of the members on the morning following the day whose events it chronicles. But this merit does not belong to the Legislative Record printed at Harris- burg. It usually falls behind at the beginning of the session, and at each succeeding week it continues to keep behind, its dilatoriness increasing until its contents may justly be considered ancient history. So far as the tardy information of the Record is concerned nobody cares what his representative said on a meas- ure that had passed some weeks previ- ously. What constituents most want is an immediate knowledge ot how their representatives voted, and this the Record does not furnish them. The Legislative Record of the last session cost $26,624.28, and for the practical good it did it would have been dear at the odd cents. Two members of the | dast State Senate were candidates be- { fore the people at the last State elec- | tion almost a year and a half after | the session adjourned, and yet it was | impassible to obtain an indexed file of ' the Record from whieh to officially as- | certain their position on any publie | question. The publication of the. Ze- "cord should be kept up to date, or it should not be published at all, Safety for the Toilers. The bill now before the State law- makers, intending to make employ- ers liable for calpable ' negligence that may cause bodily injury vo their employes, is one that, if passed, will afford much needed protection to work- ingmen engaged in dangerous occupa- tions. An amendment that has been made; to it greatly increases its efficacy by providing that courts and juries shall determine the proper measure of culpability and responsibility, thus de- priving employers of the opportunity to shift the burden upon the shoulders of subordinates when they should share it by reason of their own neglect. Such a law is required to enforce greater care in the management of , mining operations, and to protect em- ployes from the danger that always attends the use of machinery, which is largely increased by the carelessness and indifference of those who have the responsible ownership and man- agement of such works. This bill should be passed as a measure of safety to those who are compelled to make their living in such dangerous employ- ments. ———— After an unexampled struggle in the Illinois legislature, extending through the greater portion of the win- ter, General Joux M. PaLuMEr, the Democratic nominee for United States Senator, was elected on the 154th bal- lot, two of the three Alliance members voting for him, giving him just enough votes to elect him, 103.

Salter, in New England Magazine tor Narch, Packed with the Purk, St. Louis, March 11.—A special from Tacoma, Washington, says: A prominent Tacoma physician has made a horrible and startling revelation in which he alleges that he was called two months ago to the death-bed of a poor Swede named Lars Pederson. He told the physician he wished his dying confession written, and it is as follows : Pederson worked in Armour’s pork house in Chicago until 1887, then he went to Sioux City, to Silverhorn's paeking-house, where ke worked until the spring of 1889, when he killed a man named Larson Harstram, who worked with him cleaning the floors in the killing rooms. Ie stabbed him many times, and his blood flowed down the gutter to the fertilizer, mixing with the blood of the swine killed that day. He then put him in the chute and ran his body in among 10,000 carcasses killed that day. Near morning he took the body to the chopping blocks, cut it in pieces, covered it with salt, and ran them to the fertilizing rooms among piles of pork left there for months, He then burned the clothes in the furnace. Pederson lived in Sioux City for two months after the murder and thea | came here. . enr———— Alaska is now the roomiest of our Territories. It contains eighteen square miles for each inhabitant.

At noon to-day the Republican party will lay down by command of the peo- ple the power it took up two years ago. Then it came into possession of the Executive Department of the Govern- ment and control of Congress. Now it gives way in the House to an overwhelm- ing Democratic majority, its control of the Senate is doomed to a similar fate, and there is every probability thata Democratic President will be inaugu- rated in two years. Hence it may be safely asserted that the control of the government is soon to pass from the Re- publicans to the Democrats. ‘this we have said is by command of the people, and itis because of an al- most unprecedented abuse of the power intiusted by them to the Republican party two years ago. In the first session of the present Congress, which is des- tined to be & memorable one for some good measures adopted, but a more notorious one for the outrageous parti- sin legislation carried through and at- tempted. Three of the most iniquitous schemes brought forward since the ill- famed reconstruction era were pushed with obstinate indifference to the in- terests of the peopleand a partisan reck- lessness that aroused popular amaze- ment and indignation. Fortunately one of these,the infamous Force bill, was pushed in vain, But the pension job, which has already plunder- ed the Treasury to the tune of tens of niillions, and is siill plundering it, was got through. So was the most oppressive tariff law ever enacted in time of peace —a law never designed for reveaue, but for extreme protection pure and simple ; never intended for the good of the peo- ple, but for the benefit of monopolists and trade barons, to enable them to fur- nish means for keeping the party in power ; a law that raised the price of every necessary of life and increased the already oppressive burdens of the poor in every part of the land. These and other high-handed Re- publican measures were openly aided and abetted in the House by a Speaker who for that purpose did not scruple to brush aside all parliamentary prece- dents and traditions, ignore all constitu- tional restraints, defy popular sentiment, ‘trample on the rights of the mirority and set up in the Speaker's chair a des- potism before unknown to American history and contrary to the spirit of ‘ Republican institutions.

Their verdict is still fresh in the public It is enough to say that it was the most sweeping and emphatic con- demnation of a party to be found in re- cent political annals. It was simply a popular uprising against Republican wisrull—a demand for surrender of the power so grossly abused. . But not even this loud voice of the people has been heeded by the con- | demned party. Inspited of it much of the present session has been wasted in desperate attempts to get the Force bill | through, and the Speaker of the House " has continued to be a partisan despot. | | Worse than all, the extravagance which house a baker out of work, and next | | one was a tailor, and one a shoemak- er, they could not stir a hand or a foot | ' that must either bankrupt the Treasury | was reckless last session has since be- ceme alarming.

That is tha result of two years’ Republican misrule, of riot- ous extravagance. The people’s money has been thrown away by hundreds of millions. The Treasury has teen raid- ed, plundered, looted. Such reckless and inexcusable appropriations have never been made by any other Congress in time of peace. The enormity of this offence has only be to realized to create universal conster- nation and indignation. It is enough to damn and hurl from power any party guilty of it. Fortunate itis for the country that this riotous reign has come to an end.— New York Herald, March 3. The Maine Revulsion. "I'he revolt against Republicanism in Maine continues to spread.

The early spring always attracts the tourist, and of late years many travelers who bave neglected their own country for European wanderings have been brought to some sense of realization of the wonders of their own country, and have profited by visiting and informing themselves of it. An ocean voyage has its many disadvantages, which do not attach to the Pennsylvania Railroad’s personally-conducted tours to the Gold- en Gate. The magnificent Vestibule Pullman Palace Trains are luxuriously equipped and manned by the most effi- cientcrews. The tourists are under the charge of a Tourist Agent and Chaper- on, and have at their call for ready ser- vice a ladies’ maid, a stenographer, and typewriter. The two remaining tours will leave New York Thursday March 26th, and Tuesday, April 14th, and the round-trip rates will be $275 and $300 respectively. The later tour will be run via Portland and Tacoma, returning. The rate includes Pullman accommoda- tions, meals en route going and return- ing, six side trips and several carriage rides.

Suing for Twelve Years’ Wages. Reaping, March 7.—An interesting suit has just been brought in the com- mon pleas of this county by Mrs. Amelia Long against Valentine Geist for the recovery of twelve years’ wages, at the rate of $2.50 a week. Geist is a farmer of Longs vamp township and the plain- tiff claims that she worked for him that length of time, and that whenever she asked him for her wages he put her off with small sums of from one to three dollars and said he would make it all right by leaving her a large sum in his will, She says that during her service she performed not only housework, but did all sorts of rough work on the farm, such as loading manure, loading hay, binding oats and wheat, harnessing and driving horses, etc. Some time ago she became engaged to be married to her present husband, James Long, and wher she announced it to her employer he became very angry and said that if she married and left him he would not only not pay her anything, but would not leave her anything in his will. She, however, married in spite of him and now sues to recover her wages. Free Trade in Bibles. Rev. Talamage’s Unavailing Appeal to Congressman Cummings. ‘WasHINGTON, D. C., March 7.—Rev. T.

The doubt and the discussion concern- ing Governor Hill's probable course have been perhaps a painful revelation to him of the view generally entertained of him. That the man selected by the State of New York to be a Senator of the United States would undoubtedly allow his private advantage to deter- mine his public course is as severe a judgment as could be passed upon a pub- lic man. Yet this is apparently the significance ot the situation.

Some Facts Asour EAsTErR.—The fact that Easter falls on a very early date this year, March 29, has caused a “friend of fact and figures” to col- lect some curious statistics. In 1883, he says, Baster fell on March 25th, and it will only once again this century, name- ly in 1894, fall on so early a date. In the three folowing centuries it will occur only eight times on that date—namely, in 1951, 2035, 2045, 2057, 2108, 2114, 2125 and 2198. The earliest date on which Easter can full is on March 22d, and this only in case the moon is full on March 21st, when this date happens to fall on Satur- day. This combination of circumstances is exiremely rare; it occurred in 1390, 1751, 1817, and will happen again in 1990, 2076 and 2154, while during the three following centuries it is once ‘‘on the books” at this early date. On the other hand, Easter never falls later than April 25th ; this was the case in 1663, 1734 and 1886, and will only happen ence in the next century— namely in 1943.
