THE BEAVER RADICAL.
SMITH CDRTIS, Edit^b.
BBAyER.
Frida? Moraine, February 28, 1873.
Too much significance cannot be
attached to. thb young Republic of
Spain. Whether it be a bubble to
soon burst, we do not know, but if
it survives long enough to- prove its
excellence over other forms of gov
ernment, it will become permanent.
An experiment of two or three
years would place Republicanism in
Spain, as in France, upon a firm!
basis, and then the Republics of
Europe would very seriously threat-1
en the downfall of the old order of
things. Citizens, as they become
educated, are becoming rulers, and
the world is tending .toward a uni
versal rule of the people. Republi
canism is marching forward on the
continent. All things seem to con
spire to aid the movement. The
German-Franco war established,
against the interests of the Empe
ror of Germany, a Republic in
France, which offers more danger
to the German throne than did Na
poleon himself, and now the abdica
tion of Amedeus shakes the crown
on his father's head, and scatters
far and wide the seeds" of revolu
tion. We pray for strength to the
young Republic. The hopes of the
world are centered there now, and
all eyes are turned in that direction
to see whether the people of Spain
are intelligent enough to become
their own rulers, and to maintain
the liberty with which the sudden
turn of events has just put them in
practical possession. We hope for
the best, for with France, Spain and
Switzerland on the side of the peo
ple, the universal emancipation of
all peoples is ohly a matter of time.
The supplemental Local Option
bill received a “black eye” in the
House on Thursday of last week in
being postponed, and when again
pressed for final action this week, it
was killed outright. There is a de
cided, earnest demand that the
Hoitse shall pass this, or some other
bill, giving to all citizens equally
the right to expsess, through the
ballot hor, tboh opinions In regard
to the[expediency, or right of grant
ing licenses. Another bill, which
pass ed the Senate on the same day,
gives to the people of Allegheny
county the right to vote on the
"third Friday of April, instead of a
month earlier. Whether this last
bill will pass or be defeated, will
probably depend upon the Alleghe
ny county members themselves; but
nothing is more certain' than that
those members, who put themselves
on the record against this measure,
will incur the hostility of a large
and respectable class of citizens,
and their promotion for meritorious
services in the Legislature will be
rendered doubtful. The people
don’t want any shirking, but expect
each member to do his duty.
Governor Haeteanft vetoed a
bill repealing the cumulative voting
act, so far as it relates to the bor
ough of Connelsville, dn Fayette
county, on the ground that such leg
islation is special, for if'the law is
wrong in its application at one
place, it is wrong for all other dis
tricts where it is in force, and ought
therefore to be repealed. Wo are
informed that a number of such
bills were before the Legislature,,
but that this veto put a stop to that
kind of legislation. In this matter
of restricting special legislation,
the Governor has done right, and
deserves the thanks ot the people,
for the stand he nas taken. All
such laws as\he above, should be
general, and to secure this, more
-than any thing else, the people call
ed a Constitutional Convention.
The Governor in this, as in other
things, has taken the -right, course,
and we are assured that he has the
firmness necessary to maintain it.
There were no license,granted at
the last court in Jefferson county,
Judge Jenks ruling, that, under the
no license law, which has been re
cently adopted, the court had no
such authority, but the applicants
who appeared by their attorneys,
and argued against the constitution
n o
a'ity of the law, intend to make one
of the applications a test case, and
carry it up to the Supreme Court.

We will say to pur correspondents
from Independence .that for the
present we concluded not to
publish their communications in ref
erence to the Boktpwn bridge, in
asmuch as the Argus has promised
to give the subject “an airing.” The
Argus man, we have' no doubt, has
gone to considerable trouble to ac
quire all the facts, and we have his
published pledge, that he will give
them to his readers, fearlessly and
truthfully. The Argus claipas to be
actuated By, worthy motives, and
now stands pledged to the honest
oitizena of who, ac-
Scprdjinjg to that paper, ; have been
biitriagtid :by that" job, ibake the
demanded disclosures, without favor
or “ affection. Under the circum
stances we are disposed to. wait for
that disclosure, if made within a
reasonable time; then if we discover
that a wrong has been done the then
Commissioners we will be free to
defend them, or if we discover they
have been recreant to their trust, in
competent tp perform their duties,
or dishonest in the distribution of
the people’s money, and require a
castigation, .we shall deal out to
them the merit of their conduct. If
the Argus does not make its threat
or promise good wifhm a reason
able time, our columns will be open
to the disenssion of this, or any oth
er matter relating to the transac
tions of our county Commissioners,
in regard to which our readers ask
to be heard.
The Legislature has passed a bill
authorizing the Governor to appoint
as many Notaries Public as he
deems necessary, provided that each
Notary shall pay twenty-five dollars
into the State Treasury, for the use
of the Commonwealth, before his
commission issues. This is a good
bill which recommends itself, and
we are surprised that it has not been
passed long since. At every session
of the Legislature from fifty to one
hundred bills passed, authoriz
ing the Governor to appoint Nota
ries Public, until the volume of
pamphlet laws fairly groaned with
the burden of bills of this character.
Where a Notary Public is necessa
ry at all # it will justify the payment
of the amount but suck a
requirement will tend to diminish
the number of such officers, and in
crease the work of those who hold
commissions.
The President of the German Im
migration Society at Washington
has received information that a
large increase of emigration from
Germany will take place this Spring,
and that now plans are being ma
tured by which twelve thousand
wine, and ten thousand tobacco
growers can come over and' settle,
as a colony, in the West. We want
all tffe Germans we can get, and it
speaks well for our country that it
continues to be the place of attrac
tion for the industrious classes of
that favored country. Let them
come and be Americanized, for of
such are good citizens made, and
to them we can safely entrust the
use of the all-powerful ballot.
Tee manufacturers of Beaver Falls

The italics are ours, and in the
language of the Argus , in reference
to the speech of John Eakin, Esq.,
the above sentence “might be cred
itable to a boy of six years of age,
bus we are inclined to believe that a
moderately bright lad of seven,
would be a little ashamed to father”
its grammatical construction. The
Argus had better take our advice
and consult the school children.
A National Convention met in
New York, at the Cooper Institute,
on Wednesday of last week, for the
purpose of considering the import

speakers were present and delivered
able speeches, but we do not per
ceive that the movement gains in
popularity.
We are compelled to omit, reluct
antly, some interesting correspond

the unusual press of advertisements,
which has taxed our printers to the

Local Option Snpplement.
Correspondence of the Radical.
Harrisburg, Feb. 24,1873*
The event oi last week here, was the
refusal of the Governor, to sign the bill
authorizing the Pennsylvania Railroad
to Increase its capital to an unlimited ejc
tent. The bill passed both Houses with
out opposition, or a single vote against it,
and in fact without tbe| attention of the
members being directed! to it in the least.
It was said tbo PoDOflylrania roatt liad to
build two additioual tracks through ftrynt
Philadelphia to Pittsburgh, an3s* large
increase of capital was necessary.; This
company now controls and operates one
third of the railroad lines jnHhe country,
and is such a mammoth corporation it
was thought useless to limit their capital,
especially as Pennsylvania'cannot be in
jured now by any increase. This was the
view taken in the Legislature, bift the
Governor declared very emphatically he
would approve of no bill that did not fix
a limit. His decision surprised the offi
ccrs and friends of the road very much,
and every effort was made to induce him
to sign the bill, but all to no purpose.
He was as firm as a rock, and there fras no
way but to recall the bill and amend it to
meet bis objections, ot have it Vetoed.
Your Senator introduced a resolution to
recall the bill on Monday evening, to
amend it as demanded by the Governor,
and the resolution was allowed tp pass,
although the friends of the road were in
a very bad humor, and many counseled
an open break with the Governor, and an
effort to pass the bill over his veto. The
Governor, by his stand on this question,
and his firmness under strong pressure,
has raised himself very much in the esti
mation of good citizens. He has demon
strated that he is not controlled by corpo
rations, and has courage enough to resist
any combination, no matter how power- ,
ful. The evident purpose of the Penn
sylvania Central was to prepare for the
adoption of the new Constitution, probib
iting special legislation and limiting mo- I
nopoliee. Gov. Hartranft saw the pur- I
pose and interposed to prevent its accom- j
plishmenl, for which he deserves-the j
thanks of the people of the whole Com- j
monwealtb. Tjie Reading Railroad,; the j
second great corporation in the got I
a check on Monday night, tffat was uaez-1
pected and salutary. They had, against,
the protest of the Trustees, laid out their
road through the grounds of the .Lunatic
Asylum, near Harrisburg, and jrere go
ing ahead to grade the road, hot w ith
standing tb& fact that it’ would be disas
trous to the institution. The agent of
the road, at Harrisburg, was instructed to
watch the Legislalure.hod see that ,no, act
was passed to preventtheir going ahead,
and the company relied upoh his ahiiity
to do so. The Attorney General propos
ed a bill on Monday, prohibiting the
road from passing through the grounds
attached to the Asylum, and gave it to
Senator Rutau, to Introduce. At the ses
sion on Monday evening,’ the bill was
read, and a motion made to suspend the
rules andLpass it. Before the agent
could get any one to object (one objec
• i tion being sufficient to prevent its passage
j for five days, or until the Committee
I could report,) the rules were suspended
and the bill passed. The bill was sent, to
; the House the next morning, and while
a mete Wf who-had agreed to object to its
passage,>was out, it' was taken rup and
passed. It'was a sight to see; the ageni:
of the road, when he found his friend was
not In h(s seat, and the bill was going
through, and hear him denounce the Leg
islature for hasty legislation and taking
snap judgments Gowan was telegraphed
for,and he left the Constitutional Conven
tion; to induce the Governor to withhold
WSfapproval." The-Governor gave hint
twddaysto present his arguments, and
after innumerable conference, telegrams
and letters,, signed the bill, as he bad in
tended from the first. Both the great
railroad corporations have thus got no
tice that theyj can’t run things just to
anil those companies, and hereafter there
will not be so much presumption in these
quarters.
On Wednesday, the Senate passed Mr;
Ru tan’s Insurance bill, creating an Insur
ance department, and regulating the or
ganization and control of companies,
without any material amendment, and
with little opposition. There is little
donbt it will pass the House this week or
next,and insurers and insured will all be
„largely benefilted thereby. It is under
stood that Mr; Foster, for many years
Corporation Clerk, in the office of the
Auditor General, and the fittest man in
; the State for the position, will he appoint
; ed Insurance Commissioner, on the pass
age oftbe bill.
The House was much excited last week
over the Local Option Supplement which
passed the Senate some weeks ago. This
hill provides for an election in Allegheny
county, Harrisburg, Lancaster and other
places where no election can be held,
unless this or a similar bill passes. Of
epurse tbe liquor men are determined the
bIH shall not pass, and it is alleged large
sums of money have been sent here to
prevent its passage. The bill was on the
calendar on Wednesday, and would have
been reached in a few minutes, when a
motion to adjourn was made, and carried.
Again on Thursday an adjournment was
carried, to prevent the bill being reached,
and tbe bill goes over.- As tbe law re
quires three weeks notice to be given be
fore tbe election, no election can be held
in March now, unless it is amended eo as
to require a shorter notice. man
who voted in favor of' adjournment, may
be set down as against the bill. Many
who voted that way, say they will vote
for the hill when it is reached, and so
they may, not daring to do otherwise;
but every member understood tbe vote on
adjournment was a test qnestion, and no
matter how plausible an excuse they may
offer, there is no doubt they wanted to
kill tbe bill, and it is generally believed,
many were “set up,” as the phrase is, to
vote as they did. A large sum of money,
estimated by some as high'as lwo hundred
thousand dollars, was raised in tbe cities
tp defeat this bill, and the fair presump
tion is, Ibatthis money Kps been distrib-
Four of the Allegheny members
went with the friends of whisky, notwith
standing a large delegation from that
county was here urging them at tbe time
to stand by the bill, if they expected to
be respected at home hereafter. The
members from your county voted right
every time, and can ail be relied upon all
the time on this question. The liqnor
men seem to have abandoned the effort to
repeat tbe law, and are using the money
raised to prevent any further legislation.
Allegheny county w ill be saved to tbe
liquor interest, by the shameless conduct
of part of the delegation from that coun
ty in the House. No bill authorizing a
vote in tbe cities or in tbe county will be
permitted to pass, and tbe traffic will con
tinue another year. It is to be hoped
that tbe whole delegation next year will
be composed of such men as Newmyer
and Young, whose record is right through
out.
The only local bill from your county,
signed by the Governor, is one authoriz
ing the borough of Baden to collect for
two years, an additional tax-for school
purposes. There are a number of others
on the calendar of the two Houses, and
will be passed this week.
Since The Radical appeared, contain
ing names of candidates for State Treas
urer, Hon. Russell Errett has been spoken
of, and if be consents to be a candidate,
there is no doubt of bis nomination and
election. His ability, integrity and emi
nent services for the party entitles him
to the place if be desires it, and make him
as strong a candidate as could be named.
He has not been consulted, however, and
the suggestion of his name is without his
knowledge. *

Option at Harrisburg:]
HAnrasßtKG Peb. 15,1873.
On Tuesday or Wednsday of next week
there will be a test struggle on the local op
tion question in the House. The supple
mental bill introduced some weeks since,
and referred to the Judiciary General
Committee, has been held there ever since,
in the hope that some arrangement could
be made for the defeat of the whole sub
jecl by the rejection of this supplement
and the repeal of the original law. The
liquor men of the State have raised over
$300,000, and the money is now in Harris-
BURG.
burg, readyto bedistributed for the pur
pose named. In the Bouse enough votes
have been secured to reject the supple*
ment and repeal the original bill, and
possibly su ffleient could be had in the
Senate for the repeal of the original bill,
though it is declared that Senator Wal
lace firmly opposes every proposition to
have the Democrats join in the. same
work. He Insists that the Republican
party passed this tneasure, and its repeal
must' now be made by those who placed
it on the statute books. When the De
mocracy voted against the original bill, a
year ago, they did so believing it .was a
measure pot demanded by the people, but
now they are convinced it is popular, and
therefore Mr. Wallace and other Demo
cratic leaders are resolved pot to partici
pate in the repeal, but to stand by public
sentiment on the subject. In the mean
time, the test to be made in the House
Tuesday night or Wednesday,will demon
strate how many votes have been secured
by the liquor interest. The struggle will
be an interesting one, partieularly when
it is so well known that so many people,
indeed, so large a majority of the people,
in nineteen out of every twenty counties
and cities of the State, favor the law as it
stands upon the ■ statute books, and are
eager for its operations. Even it the
House is reckless enough to repeal the
original law, there is no present hope of
its going through the Senate. In that
body, not only the Democracy, but some
of the ablest Republican leaders, are de
termined the law shall have a fair test and
that the people shall be gratified in their
almost unanimous desire to check the
fearful ravages of rum. Such men on the
Republican side of the Senate as McClure,
Strang, Warfel, Rolan, and others are
sternly' opposed to all repeat. Rqtan is
particularly eager to show his band with
the people in this measure, as be has set
bis face in the direction of a certain
brick bouse on the river- bank, where one
John P. Hartranft is now comfortably
lodged on a salary of $lO,OOO per annum,
Mr. Rutan wants to be next Governor,
and, as Beaver county has been particu
larly successful ! in winning honors from
the Republican party, his chances, calcu
lating from that standpoint, are good ;
and these be intends to improve by
stnrdy adherence to the temperance
cause.
lam thus specific in my statements on
this subject of local optiorirto show you
the inner as well as the outer working of
the influences which surround the sub
ject. If even the liquor league, with its
round $200,000, could succeed in both ;
branches of the Legislature, they will find
an obstacle in the Executive Chamber
which they cannot surmount,a sturdy and
determined opponent whom they cannot
conquer or corrupt. Gov. Hartranft has
been closely observing this whole move
ment; be has taken great pains to inform
hltnse’f as to the desire and will of thepeo- 1
pie,and being satisfied that they are oppos
ed to the repeal of local option, and that
they want the law mile general all over
the Stale, he will veto any bill passed for
repeal, and is most anxious, that a general
bill be adopted. The Governor has been
covertly approached on both these points,
and to all inquiries he has made the same
firm and emphatic reply, namely : “ The
popular will must be obeyed ; lam resolved
to respect it . ” The altitude of the Gov
ernor on this subject has surprised many
men, none more so than the liquor men.
who supposed that be could be “approach
ed.” But mark what I tell you, John F.
Hartranft resolved, when he took his oath
of office, to be faithful to it, and in this
God blessed resolution be has confused
the plans and startled more than one
clique leader in the State who dreamed in
bis greed for political emolument that he
had a title in fee in Hartranft.
As to Investigation.
We take the following from Grace
Greenwood's Washington correspond- j
ence : “One cannot but laugh at behold- j
Ing alarmed politicians running frantical
ly about, crying ‘lnvestigate me! inves
ligate me !’—very much as the old lady
on a steamboat, which had struck a bar,
ran from passenger to passenger with a
collapsed life preserver about her neck,
shrieking ‘Blow me up ! blow me up !’
Mr. Blaine, who set this investigation
ball in motion, must be a little astonished
to see to what an avalanche it has grown.
In his rencontres with Mr. Job Steven
son, I have sympathized with the Speak
er, being loyal to the Administration ; be
sides. he is a friend of mine. I knew
him in his days of comparative innocence,
when be was in College, and never had
seen Washington ; and now, as an old
friend, I wish he could attain to the phil
osophic calm of, say the Sage of Concord,
of whom I once heard this little story;
lie was one evening discussing among a
group of awe struck admirers, some one
of those little questions of philosophy,
ethics and religion, with which be is so
delightfully at home—optimism, pre-ex*
istence, of immortality—when
an orthodox yottß|; man present ventured
to interrupt him with a damaging Scrip
ture text, prefacing it with ‘But, Mr.
Emerson, Job says’-—. The Sage turn
ed his cold, wise eyes on him, and with
sublime self complacency replied, Tt is
1 immaterial to me, sir, what Job says.’ ”
—The" resignation of Senator Wilson
was referred to the Judiciary Committee
in the Massachusetts House with instruc
tion to consider and report when the va
cancy can be filled.

and yet it is a “light” expense.
