Up so this writiog— and two-thirds of the time fixed for the present session has passed —not an effort, with any earnestness as its back, to enact any legislation other than to oreate offices, increase salaries and get away with the people’s money bas been made. How many more propositions to multiply officials and enlarge the pay of those now holding offices will be presented, the Lord only knows. Bat up to date the bills already presented for these purposes alone will aggregate in amount between four and a-half and five millioe of dollars. And this not for any special or extraordinary purposes, thas after being accomplished the outlay wonli cease, hut as a permanent cost to be paid yearly and maintained for all time, in addition to that whick the peo- ple are at present forced to pay for the ordi- pary government services they are getting. Ol this increased amount it is proposed that the managemens of oar public schocls including an uolimited number of paid officials who can be employed at the head- quarters in Harrisburg, and the many ad- ditional superintendents that the new Code provides for shall cost the people $3,510.200 additional to the $5,500.000 now expended for school purposes. For the increased number of State offi- ocials proposed and the enlargement of the salaries of those now in office the sum of $278,820 will be required to be added to the total amonnt now paid for the admin- istration of State affairs. For fifteen more Judges and higher salaries for the one handred and thirty we now have an inorease of $640,500 is asked. And for other publio officials who are now paid by the State this proposed in- crease amoants to $240,200 making a total annual inoreare of $4,669,720. - And this without promise of any better- 18 in she administration of any depars- fog { > become accustomed to, or without a single requirement of any indiridual now occupy- ing official positions that the daties of his place be performed more promptly, or to the better advantage of the public, than they now are. In the history of the Commonwealth or in that of all the States of this union, no such proposition for the oreation of addi- tional and unneeded public officials or no such brazen attempt at wholesale salary grabbing has ever heen made. And the sronble is that it may be accomplished, unless the Governor stands as a barrier be- tween the peoples representatives and the peoples interests, or public sentiment and the public conscience becomes aroused, and gets dowa to work at once. Evidently we have reached a point where the taxpayer and the citizen who does not want all the resources of the State mort- gaged for all time to comé to pay govern- ment office holders shoald ‘‘sit up aod take notice.’ Will they dois? Cannon Re-elected. As we had every reason to believe he would, Josep G. CANNON, of Illinois, has been elected Speaker of the House of Representatives for the Sixty-firss Congress which assembled in extra session on Mou- day. He didn’t get the unanimous vote of his party, twelve out of 218 having refased to support him. Bat he got enough. He is in every respect unfit for the office. He is an agent in the chamber of the trusts and monopolies. He ia a course and igno- rant man. Bas the corporations want him in the chair and his party doesn’t dare of- fend the corporations. Therefore it is sar- prising that even a bandlaul of members of that party faith voted against him. He bad a right to expect a unanimous vote. Bat we are disappointed in the failure to make such changes in the rules of the House as would have given the minority the proteotion against wrong to which is is entitled. Parliamentary rules are not in- tended to promote the purpose of the ma- jority to oppress the mivority. The ma- jority needs no rules. It has votes to take oare of itsell. Bus the minority is helpless and parliamentary rules were devised to protect them. The rules of the House of Representatives in Washington have been perverted to the opposite purpose. They bave been employed to stifle the voice and trespass upon the rights of the minority. In the light of every consideration of justice such rules ought to have been revoked. And that resalt might have heen achieved if the Democrats in Congress bad been juss surgent Republicans to compass the result but a bunch of recrsant Democrats deleat- ed their righteous purpose. And it is in. variably so. In this State when the Re- publicans nominate a candidate who is so BELLEFONTE, to themselves, There were enough in- | © STATE RIGHTS own party are driven from his support, there are Democrats to m=zk2 up for the loss. That is precisely what Representa- tive FirzaeraLD, of Brooklyn, dif on Monday. He enacted the role of Judas and prevented a result which would have made the minority potent during the pres- ent and subsequent sessions. He ought to be held up to public execration as long as he lives. State Revenmnes and Expenses. Less than a month remains of the pres- ent session of the Legislature and nothing has been done to provide revenues io mees the enormous expenses of the State govern- ment daring the two years for which the present body legislates. At the opening of the session Governor STUART admounish- ed the Legislature of the danger of a treas- ury deficit. Subsequently Aunditor General YOUNG pointed ous the fact that unless there is a considerable decreases in the ap- propriations it would be necessary to pro- vide for a material increase in the reve. pues. But neither suggestion has received the slightest attention. The appropriations promise to be much greater than ever be- fore and the revenues are likely to be ocor- respondingly less. At least unless business improves such will be the case. We can imagine nothing more improvi- dent than this utter disregard of the ne- cessities of the State revenues. No doubt the Senators and Representatives depend upon the Governor, through the exercise of the veto power, to make the expenditures square with the revenues. But that is taking desperate chances. In the first place the Governor has no constitational right to shave an appropriation bill. It is trae that Governor STONE and Governor PENNYPACKER exercised that right in violation of the constitution and were sas- taiced by the Sapreme court. Bat the personnel of the court is constantly chang. iog and no one oan tell how long it will remain under control of men who have no regard for the sauotity of she oath they bave taken. Neither is it certain that Governor Stuart will be willing to violate his oath. According to Auditor General Young the panoy between dhe receipts aud ex- penditures, even if the appropriations are no greater than they were two years ago, will be considerable. There is a large surplus in the treasary now, it is true. In fact there is a good deal mote money in she treasury thao is good for the State. But the indications are that the appropria- sions will be so great that even il Govern- or STUART would follow the example of his immediate predecessors in office the revenue defiois will be sufficient to ex- haast the surplus the first year and leave the fiscal affairs in such condition that bankruptoy would be inevitable during the early period of the second year. This is anything bus an enticing prospect but no effort is being made to avert it. Governor Stuart's Wise Veto. We can all join in the commendation of Governor STUART for his veto of the bill increasing the salaries of police magistrates in Philadelphia. Is would hardly be pos- sible to conceive a greater outrage than that contemplated in that measure. Those political barpies receive $3000 a year each under the present law. The bill vetoed by the Governor would have given them $4000. The reason assigned by the Gov- eraor for his action is that be is opposed to increasing salaries under existing oondi- tions. He might have added that the wages of men who actually work are be- ing reduced. That being $rue there is no reason why men who do practically noth- ing for the publio, but perform all sorts of sinister services for the party, should have their salaries increased. The present Legislature seems to be de- termined to bankrupt the treasury. The members are probably proceeding upon the principle which influenced one of the carpet-baggers in the south during the re- construction period to write to another who under apprehension thas justice would overtake them had gone away. ‘‘Come back,’ wrote the bold fellow who had re- mained, “there are at least two years of good stealing here yet.”” There are still a few millions of dollars in the State Treas- ury and they are alter it. But the Gov- ernor gave them a sharp call in the veto of the Police Magistrate bill. He served notice that he is not in sympathy with euch looting operations. He said he will not consents to the increase of offices or salaries unless the public servios requires is. That veto, however, puts the Governor under certain moral obl . To be consistent he will now be obliged to veto every pending bill for the inorease of sala- oder th pat he splendidly expressed ander the 80 . The proposition to increase the force and add to the compensation of she state con- Stabbwiary is likewise condemned under the joy thus expressed.

On the subject of tariffs, the message suggests a lamentable lack of sound eco- nomio thinking. The vew President rea- sons like our tariff reformers. The prinoi- ples he lags down for the governments of the tariff are : (1) Revenue ;(2) the dil- ference between she cost of production at home aud abroad ; and (3) retaliation. Be- tween the operation of these three laws the outlook of the consumer is dark indeed. The deficiency in revenue this year alone amounts to twenty-five millions sterling. By aourious coincidence tbat is precisely the amount of the deficiency which that other country so which our own Protec- tionists love to point has incurred in the same financial year. Itisat least remark- able shat while these huge deficits are being piled np year after year Free Trade Britian is not only paying its way bat has reduced its national debt by forty millions sterling in three years. As to the second priroiple. the difference in the cost of pro- duction at home and abroad is precisel the measure of the tariff and the “Trusts” the tariff creates. The higher tbe tariff the greater the cost of living ; the greater the cost of living she greater she difference in the cost of production ; the greater the dif- ference in the cost of production the higher the tariff—and so on in a vicious circle. In all this the consumer is ruthlessly sacrificed to the Trusts and the power of competing in the nentral markets is enormously less- ened. We have only to turn to the de- struction of the American shipping trade as an illustration of the effect of tariffs upon industry. Or, to take another example, we may point to the fact that it coats the United States forty millions sterling to carry out a construction which will add to the navy just half the tonnage that we add with an expenditure of shirty- three millions. Batit is when President Tals of Free Trade between the Philippines aod the United States as tend- ing to inorease the trade between the two coantries that we are mos$ reminded of the mutually destructive argnments of our own tariff reformers. Here, with delightfal un. consciousness, he implaes himsell on the other horn of the tariff dilemma. Secretary Dickinson's Constituents, From the New York World.
