State Treasury Raids.
Enormous Increase in Commonwealth Expenditures.
All the Departments Padded. Legislative Expenses
Have More Than Doubled Since Governor Pattison
Retired From Office. Bold Expense Bill Grabbers.
Junketers Run Riot and Everywhere the People’s
Money has Been Squandered and Misspent With
Astonishing Audacity.
The Record has already shown that the
mismanagement of public affairs in Penn-
sylvania in recent years, especially demon-
strated hy the enormous increase in the ex-
penditures saddled upon the State by sev-
eral succeeding Legislatures, has reached a
point where even the blindest partisan
must stand aghast.
The incease from $435,101.78 in the year
1887 to $1,223,502.93 in 1897, of the bien-
nial appropriation for the State executive
offices furnishes through its details no more
instruction to the political campaigners
than is obtainable from certain other items
in the Commonwealth’s annual outlay of
from eleven to twelve millions. The ve-
toed items in this year’s executive appro-
priation amount to only $38,600. The late
Legislature was less noted for increasing
the executive office extravagance of two
years ago than for trying to capture every-
thing in sight for itself.
While of course, continuing in the gen-
eral appropriotion hill the additional mil-
lion dollars required by the offices, other
than legislative, created or reorganized in
1895, the General Assembly this year dis-
tinguished itself specially by extending
the list of Senate and House employes for
whom the only legal warrant was the ap-
| propriation bill passed months after they
had begun to draw pay. Not less extra-
ordinary than this way of raiding the
Treasury was the grabbing attempted with
partial success by investigating committees
| packed with factional dependents who
| struck out for the Klondike which they
| expected as reward for services in recent
| hot political battles.
| More than anything else this padding of
| the legislative pay-roll, Treasury raiding
| by investigating committees, and big swell-
ing of the “incidental” expenses of both
Senate and House, gave the ‘‘Seventy-six’’
| the desired opportunity for their grand-
stand play during the final hours of the
| session, and enabled Governor Hastings to
gain prestige with his veto ax. It is un-
derstood that the Democratic spell-binders,
| in their campaign against machine misrule,
{ will not pass lightly over these chapters
from the official records at Harrishurg.
THIS LIST WASN'T ENOUGH.
To comprehend the recent dispute be-
tween Governor Hastings and certain State
managers at Harrisburg, over appropria-
tions for the largely-increased number of
Legislative employes, a glance at the fol-
lowing list of permanent office-holders and
their salaries authorized by the Act of
1874, is helpful.
IN THE SENATE.
Chief clerk, $2500 a year ; journal clerk,
$1500 ; reading clerk, $1500; message clerk,

IN THE HOUSE.
Chief clerk, $2500 a year ; reading clerk,
$1,500 ; journal clerk, $1,500; message
clerk, $1000.
Two transcribing clerks, $800 each ; ser-
geant-at-arms, $800, and four assistants,
$800 each, doorkeeper $600 three assist-
ants $600 each with an additional doorkeep-
er for the rotunda ; message clerk, $600,
and three assistants, $600 each.
Postmaster, $800, and one assistant,
$600 ; superintendent folding rooms, $600 ;
10 pasters and folders, $600 each ; watch-
man, $3 a day ; two janitors of basement,
$600 each ; two firemen, $600 each ; two
janitors for committee rooms, $600 each 3
janitor of wash room, $600 ; 15 pages, each
$2 a day. Total, 57.
Another authorized employe, an engi-
neer, to be named by the clerks of hoth
Houses, made the total number of legis-
lative employes legally provided for 96,
not counting scrub women.
BIG INCREASE UNDER HASTINGS.
In 1895 the Legislature voted itself the
following 13 additional regular employes :
In the Senate, one executive clerk, two
transcribing clerks and two janitors ; in
the House, two transcribing clerks, one
bill book clerk, two assistant doorkeepers,
two janitors of committee rooms, and one
janitor in the basement. All these places
were filled long before the enactment of
the law therefore.
The position of clerk to the president
pro tem is of this year’s creation. The
Speaker’s clerkship is of longer standing.
These, with a chaplain for each House,
give the Senate a total of 45 employes au-
thorized by law, and the House 67 with
the same warrant.
In line with the multiplication of offices
and raising of salaries throughout the execu-
tive departments since Mr. Pattison’s first
term as Governor, nearly all the figures
fixed by the Act of 1874 for legislative of-
ficers and employes have been raised. The
Senate librarian’s pay, increased from $800
to $2000, is an instance, and he has two
assistants besides. The chief clerk of each
House gets an extra $1000 for the year in
which there is no regular session, and the
resident clerk $1500 for that year.
| The reading and journal clerks of both
Houses have had their pay raised from
$1500 to $1800 each. The Senate execu-
| tive clerk gets $1500, and, like the chief
| clerks and reading and journal clerks, re-
| ceives $10 a day for extra sessions. The
extra session pay of resident clerk is 8a
day. Inany sort of session the message
clerks now get $8 a day each ; transcribing
clerks, bill clerks, sergeant-at-arms and
assistants, Speaker’s clerk, president pro
tem.’s clerk and postmasters each $7 a day,
| which for the last legislative term of six
| months amounted to over $1200 in each
case.
The doorkeepers and assistants, assistant
postmasters, messengers and assistants,
superintendents of folding rooms, engineer,
firemen, janitors and pasters and folders,
now receive $6 a day each ; the chaplains
each $3 ; pages each $2 ; watchmen $3 dur-
| ing the year, and the engineer and fireman
| in the cellar, in addition to their salaries
| for the session, $3 a day for the time em-
ployed during the recess. Such a job as
that of paster and folder was therefore
worth, last term, $400 more than under the
Act of 1874, and the other employes gen-
erally had received proportionate increases.

Every officer and employe receives mile-
age at the rate of 10 cents per mile to and
from home.
In the early part of the late legislative
session a decree of the slatemakers of both
Houses was carried out, under which was
employed a clerk to each of the following
committees of the Senate : Appropria-
tions, Corporations, Finance. Judiciary
General, Judiciary Special, Municipal Af-
fairs, Railroads, Compare Bills and Agri-
culture, or nine in all, unauthorized by
law other than the Appropriation bill.
This year’s creators of extra offices, with-
out authority of law, fixed also a clerk to
each of the following committees of the
House : Railroads, Corporations. Muni-
cipal Affairs, City Passenger Railways,
Judiciary Local, Agriculture, Compare
Bills, Education, Mines and Mining and
Insurance. In addition to these ten com-
mittee clerks, there were two extra trans-
cribing clerks, or in all twelve extra House
employes.
Here is the requirement of Section 10,
Article 3, of the Constitution : ‘“The Gen-
eral Assembly shall prescribe by law the
number, duties and compensation of the
officers and employes of each House, and
no payment shall be made from the State
Treasury, or be in any way authorized, to
any person, except to an acting officer or
employe elected or appointed in pursuance
of law.”
CAPITOL HAD 133 SERVANTS.
There were employed in the last Senate
54 clerks and other persons, or 16 more
than the number fixed by the Act of 1874 ;
and in the House 79, or 22 more than that
law provided for. Of these it is officially
admitted that there were at least 21 for
whom there was no law except the provi-
sion for pay in the general appropriation
bill. Itis strongly hinted in the official
correspondence resulting from the recent
shake-up in the Hastings Cabinet that still
other unauthorized employes were engag-
ed, with the view of taking care of them
in the items for ‘‘incidentals.’’
In addition to the 133 clerks, janitors,
pages, ete., in both Houses, there was the
usual large number of women employed for
cleaning. The Governor in vetoing $7266
of the $54,976 appropriated for officers and
employes of the Senate, exclusive of li-
brarian, watchman and pages, admitted
that he approved the pay for as many of
the employes unprovided for by law as he
had assented to with the statemakers. He
made a similar admission in vetoing $12,-
350 of the $75,404 appropriated for officers
and employes of the House, exclusive of
resident clerk, watchman and pages.
The Governor and Attorney General
McCorniick deny State Chairman Elkin’s
assertion that the assent of the executive
was given to the entire illegal slate of 21,
but the Quay lieutenants contend that,
from the Governor's own point of view,
there would have been no more impropriety
in his approving all than in granting pay
for ten committee clerks, the appointment
of whom, Mr. McCormick says, the Gov-
ernor agreed to.
MORE THAN DOUBLES PATTISON’S
The growth of the general appropriation
bill item for officers and employes of each
House, which always excludes the librarian,
resident clerk, watchmen and pages, is
amoung the remarkable features. Here is
the exhibit from Governor Pattison’s first
legislative year, 1883 ; both of Governor
Beaver’s, 1887 and 1889, and both of Gov-
ernor Hastings’, 1895 and 1897 :
Senate. House.
Total.
1683 ae 23, 700.00 $23,650
1887 $39,920
1889 $37,931
1895 $56,300 $97,998.00
1897 75,404 $120,380.00
This year’s vetoing reduces the Senate
item to $47,710, and the House item to
$63,054, both amounting to $110,764,
which is about $13,000 more than the
amount of two years ago, and over $45,000
in excess of Beaver’s last legislative year,
while it is more than two and one-third
times the total for the same purpose when
the House of Representatives, as well as
the Governor was Democratic, in 1883,
Even the Legislature of 1895, which
more than trebled Beaver’s $433,000 for
executive office expenses, and increased
that Governor’s judicial appropriation of
$1,043,386 hy about $300,000, only a little
more than doubled the appropriation for
officers and employes of the Legislature in
Pattison’s first year. The late session of
the General Assembly beat all records with
the piling up of its own expenses, even in
running the veto gauntlet.
HOW ‘‘INCIDENTALS’’ INCREASE.
Every Legislature votes away a big sum
for the comprehensive purpose of ‘‘in-
cidentals,” with the proviso that part of it
shall be used in the equally indefinite
channel of ‘‘extra labor.” This is entirely
distinct from various other allowances
pleasantly lacking in specifications as to
objects of expenditure. It does not in-
clude such matters as the $1600 which
each chief clerk is allowed for ‘‘necessary
expenses’’ from the close of this year’s
Legislature until the new one shall come
in, nor the appropriations of $2000 to the
resident clerk and $1700 to the librarian
for ‘postage, labor, express and other ex-
penses.” Governor Pattison vetoed, at
first sight, smaller allowances for these
purposes, probably assuming that they
ought to be covered by ‘‘incidentals.” In
Governor Beaver’s term the resident clerk
got a biennial allowance of only $1600 for
‘‘postage, labor, express, etc.,”’ and the
librarian $1700.
Among other comparatively small things
not in ‘‘incidentals,”” but regularly allow-
ed for many years, is an extra $200 to each
chief clerk for ‘‘indexing the journals.’
The item for ‘‘incidentals” twenty years
ago was less than $2000. How it has
grown is seen by the following allowances
to the chief clerks of the two Houses :
Senate. House. Total.
$5,000 £9,000
8,000 14,500
10,800 18,500
13,580 22,505
The current appropriation for ‘‘inci-
dentals’’ is more than two and one-half
times the amount granted in Pattison’s
year, and beats the record-breaking session
of 1895 by $4000, while being fifty per
cent. above the amount for Beaver’s year.
EXPENSE BILL GRABBERS.
While items like these were helping to
make the appropriation for the Senate of
1897 exceed that of 1887 by $39,000, and
raised the House appropriation $74,000 be-
yond that of ten yearsago, the investigating
committee and junketers were heaping up
demands upon the Treasury aggregating
$158,807.07, as follows :

——————————
The Lexow bill was not pushed to final
passage, but all the others were, although
same were largely reduced before reachin
the Governor. These reductions, with the
vetoes and the Lexow withdrawal, cut the
original aggregation down to about one-
fourth. The veto tax was aimed mainly at
the charges for ‘‘extra car fare, carriage
hire telegrams, telephone messages’ and
other mysterious incidentals. These ve-
toes, with the reductions made by the Gov-
ernor in the general appropriation bill saved
the State at least $100,000, and yet aggre-
gate outlay continues growing in far great-
er ratio than that of the increase of popu-
lation.
COMPARED WITH FORMER RAIDS.
The total demands of the investigators
and junketers whom the Governor checked
this year eclipse all previous records of the
kind. In 1887 there were half a dozen in-
vestigations for which a total of $14,500 was
appropriated, the main item being $8,900
for revising the tax laws.
Even the session of 1889, notorious for
inserting in the general appropriation hill
and securing Executive approval of $39,795
for the Oshourn-Devlin Senatorial contest,
$17,860 for the Finley-Nichols Representa-
tive contest, with other big bills for com-
mittee or commission expenses, was mod-
est in comparison with what the late Legis-
lature would have carried off if permitted
by the Governor. In 1889 the aggregate
of such bills, including over $5000 for in-
vestigating the charities, ete., $5000 for an
inquiry into industrial education, and the
election contest bills, was about $70,000.
In 1891 the aggregate of this sort of ap-
propriations was nearly $30,000, chief
among the items being $3500 for probing
the State Treasury and Auditor General’s
office, $4350 for inquiring into the Book
Trust, $9500 for revising the mining laws
and $7987 for revenue law revision. In
1893 the expenditures of committees
amounted to $13,000, including Chairman
S. A. Losch’s comparatively modest claim
of $1608.90 for probing the Philadelphia
Electric Light Trust.
The first legislative year of the Hastings
administration held its end up with prob-
ing expenses of the past except the $70,000
in 1889. Two years ago’ the approved
committee expenses amounted to $28,000
in round numbers, not counting the usual
charges of the appropriation committees.
To investigate the Hospitals for the Insane
at Norristown and Wernersville there was
an appropriation of $5760, but the princi-
pal bill was that of Chairman D. Smith
Talbot’s Election Committee of 1893. Tt
amounted to $20,421.20, and, after being
vetoed by Governor Pattison, was signed
by Governor Hastings.
The forgoing figures show that the med-
al for leading in the race of the expense
bill grabbers of the last ten years belongs
to the late Legislature, whose title to equal
distinction for expanding the regular and
irregular pay rolls is also undisputed.

Yerkes’s Great Telescope.
Charles T. Yerkes’s gift of an astronom-
ical observatory is now in the possession
of the University of Chicago. Mr. Yerkes
gave to President William R. Har-
per the keys of the building which
contains the Yerkes telescope. The
ceremonies covered two hours. Mr.
Yerkes himself presented the gift,
valued at $350,000. Prof. James E. Keeler,
one of the best known astronomical scholors
in the country, made the speech which
marked the opening of the dedication ex-
ercises. Seven hundred persons were
present.
The observatory has the greatest refract-
ing telescope in the world. Its lens is
forty-two inches in diameter. It is
eighty miles from Chicago, and in the
forests on Lake Geneva.

Not long ago a Pittsburg paper, in

that, after deducting 188 from the 200, the
figures will be about correct.
Every honest man who has had any
connection with the new State capitol com-
mission has deserted it in defense of his

A Historicai Month.
This is one of the historical months in
the American calendar. In it were fought
the battles of Saratoga and Germantown.
The former is one of the 15 decisive battles
of history and so classed by all historians.
It was after the battle of Saratoga that
France acknowledged the independence of |
the United States. Teachers of our public
schools should call especial attention to
these facts. There were stirring times in
these colonies six score years ago.
It was a Narrow Escape.
At Millheim Wednesday, while little Ina
Miller was visiting her father in Confer’s
planing mill, her dress was caught by one
of the revolving shafts and in a twinkling
the child was drawn up and was whirled
violently around the shaft. Fortunately,
her clothing couldn’t stand the strain and
she fell to the floor. Her head was badly
bruised and she received a few cuts.
—Dig down to the cause of your sick-
ness, if you want to get well and stay
well. Most likely it’s indigestion. The
irritating poisons of fermenting, putrid
food, left in the stomach by indigestion,
cause headache, neuralgia, nervousness,
dizziness, stomach ache, nausea, irritability,
and all the other well-known symptoms of
indigestion.
They also cause many pains and dis-
orders which are often laid to other causes
and hence are not easily cured. But as
soon as the poisons are removed, all these
symptoms and disorders disappear, be-
cause there is nothing left to cause them.
Nothing succeeds in this like Shaker Di-
gestive Cordial, because it prevents the
undigested food from fermenting in the
stomach and helps the stomach to digest
its food.
