harping so constantly on tlio cost of
tlio extra session not only loso sight of
the fact that tho cost was mailo hy tlio
f 1 r- .t , , . .
rtmuai oi mo republican scnato to leg
islate, but thoy also forget that in
1881 a republican legislature wasted
$200,000 of tho 8tatoV8 money in a
factious fight over tho election of a
United States Simator.
The Legislature adjourned last Fri
day at noon. Crawford of Philadel
phia returned his full pay to tho slate,
$1870,00, and quite a number of mem
bora returned $110 each, boing tho
pay for tho eleven days' adjournment
at tho beginning of the extra session.
Speaker Faunce being ono of tho num
ber. In tho Senate, Coxe, Gordon and
Emery returned their full pay.
It is believed that tho present session
of Congress will be brief. There is
nothing of importance that requires a
protracted session. Somo of tho timo
will bo occupied in correcting somu of
tho incongruities and inequalities of
tho tariff bill, passed at last session, in
whioh all parties will agree. The Ilar
risbnrg Patriot says :
There is, however, plenty of work
to do in ono direction, and that is in
the matter of inquiring into abuses and
irregularities in tho publio service. It
is intimated that tho manner of Stan
loy Matthews' appointment to tho su
premo court bench will bo mado tho
subject of inquiry. Tho manner in
which "Brewster, attorney general,"
has been conducting the affairs of his
department likowiso invites a search
ing inquiry while tho allegation that
George Bliss has been indulging in
crooked practices whilo a special at
torney of tho United States is also put
down for investigation. It is not ouly
proper but important that theso sever
al investigations should bo made, but
it does not follow that tho session
should bo protracted on account of
them.
Washington, Doc. 11. Tho num
ber of bills introduced in the houso to
day oxceedi'd by 200 tho number pre
sented yesterday. Bills of.a private
character predominated and of theso
two-thirds wcro pension bills. Of tho
more important publio measures fully
one-half were old, and ono of tho pen
sion bills has been introduced in every
cougress sinco 18."2. A very consi
derable number of bills were introduced
which, whilo they varied somewhat in
.form, were identical in purpose, and
several representatives from different
states introduced precisely the same
bill, a3 a measure which had originally
been presented to the Forty-seventli
congress. There were to-day fivo bills'
to provide a uniform system of bank
ruptcy, threo or four to prevent the
spread of contagious diseases among
cattle, two or threo for the abolition of
tho internal revenue bureau, and a num
ber for tho reduction of postage and
tho withdrawal from circulation of the
trade dollar. There were also a num
ber of tariff bills, somo increasing and
some lowering the duties on articles
specified.
The Trade Dollar.
President Arthur
says :
in his
message
i'ho trade dollar was coined for tho
purpose of trallio in countries where
Bilver passed at its value as ascertained
by its weight and finances. It never
had a legal tender quality. Largo
numbers of these coins entered, how
ever, into tho volume of our currency.
By common consent their circulation
in domestic trade has now ceased, and
theyhavo thus beeomo a disturbing
element. Thoy should not bo longer
permitted to embarass our currency
system. I recommend that provision
bo mado for their reception by tho
treasury and mints, (as bullion) at a
small percentage abovo tho current
market prico of silver ot liko fineness.
The Tariff Issue.
WHAT GENERAL S1CCMCM.AN THINKS
OF IT.
Tho New York Herald of last Mon
day published an interview with GLu.
George B. McClellan.
"I have come," said tho reporter, "to
ask your opinion on tariff reform as an
issuo in tlio next presidential elec
tion." "There aro many men, answered tho
general, "who can give you a better
answer than I can. Having for my
part long since renounced all active
participation in politics, I do not wish
by any published statement to create
tho impression that I am speaking any
thing but my individual opinion, as
any citizen may at a crisis like tho pre
sent. The man who is in a position to
read tho signs of tho times to-day must
see, if ho is not blind, that fiscal ques
tions nro tho real questions of tho day,
and all others must givo way before
their discussion."
"Do you think tho democrats will
have the courage to mako a square is
suo on the tariff!"
"Yes, I do," said General McClellan,
with earnestness. "Tho timo was, not
many months ago, when it would havo
cost any congressman hw re election to
havo spoken favorably of free trado.
To-day, while free trado is not thought
of by any politician as of immcdiato
application, there aro many members
who preach its doctrines as an ultimate
ly good thing for tho United States
ana many more wno aro gaining po
litical strength by fighting for a low
tariff.
"In this connection I may quoto to
you what a prominent member ot con
cress from Illinois told mo last Bprincr,
Ho said that not only in Illinois, but
further northwest and went, in the last
election tho winning men in both tho
democratic and republican parlies were
thoso who preached low tariff. Theso
nlono met with sympathy from tho poo
plo. And that sympathy I believe is
growing.
"Where will tho strength of the low
tariff party lio 1"
"Mainly in tho west. It is there
that tho light will be fought, and it is
there that wo shall leurn shortly wheth
er wo nro to remain in existence as n
democratic- party, will all our excel
lent tradition?, or whether wo nro to
bo forever wiped out of existuico
through our own cowaidieo in falling
to meet thin issue. It is an inovitablo
one, and will givo tho victory to any
net of men that will take it up."
The State Orange Meeting.
Tho Slalo G ranee. Patrons of Him-
bandry met in tho hall of tho houso of
representatives in Hamsbtirg on Tues
day afternoon. There were 115
granges represented on first roll call,
being HO more than last year, an indi

A public meeting was held In tho
houso ot representatives in tho evening
Tho attendance was very largo nod
much interest was manifested in tlio
remarks of tho gentlemen who mado ad

tho advantages of agiiculturc, and that

Ho also spoko of tho action of tho

troduced and .welcomed tho members
of tho order in tho following address :
Ladies and Gentlemen of the Slate

at oncu tho oldest and most important
in tho commonwealth. In styliog your
selves tho "Patrons of Husbandry" you
wear a lillo dignified wherever labor is
respected and most honored among a
people where simplicity, sinceiity and
virtue most abound. You aro the pat
rons of an industry which employs more
of tho activities of man and contributes
more to the comfort, healih and happi
ness than any other form of humau em
ployment. Tlio capital is therefore
honored by your presenco as I am sure
tho state will bo benefitted by your
labors. Hence, as tho executive" of
tho commonwealth, I welcome vou here.
As a citizen also, I receive yon with a
most hearty good pleasure. With tho
deepest interest in the success of tho
sessions which will occupy your thought
and attention, and the siucercst wish
for their success and progress, both as
a magistrate nnd citizen, I oxtend to
you a most cordial welcomo and be
speak for you a pleasant, profitable and
successful session. Tho capital of the
state is glad to have you here, and I
am glad to have tho oppoituuity of
iiiuKiugyuui pursuant ucquainiauce.
THE WELCOME AlTKKCIATKIt.
Hon. Victor E. Piollet. of Wvsox.
Bradford countv, then stepped forward
and responded to the welcomo of the
governor. Ho said ;
(rovernor 1'attison : I havu been
appointed by the worthy master of tho
Pennsylvania state grange to reply to
your address of welcome to tho Patron
farmers assembled in their eleventh an
nual session.
Worthy Sire, wo thank vou thus pub
licly for having procuied the hall of
the house of representatives as a plaeo
of meeting on this annual occasion.
Tho farmers throughout the stato be
longing to the grange organization,
and numbering many thousands of the
very best agricultural produceis within
her borders, are complimented by your
presenco among us and feel highly
honored by tho warm and fiieudly
terms with which you greet our pres
ence. The agricultural people of Pennsyl
vania remember the occasion of your
inauguration : its unpretentious and
frugal example which met with their
unqualified approval. The wholesome
and much needed reforms which you
promised executive, sanction havo in
notablo instances ta!:on the shape of
law. In such instances as party poli
tics navo thwarted you tho people wo
hero represent .are on your side, and
will stand by you until they arc accom
plished. Tho farmers of Pennsylvania deserve
tho kind ollicu of her chief magistrate,
sinco thoy contribute to a greater ex
tent than any other class of her people
to tho wealth and morality that
forms the proudest distinction of our
state.
Wo are fully aware that corrupt and
unscrupulous politicians havo been and
aro now doing all they can to mis
represent and defame your official acts.
Theso bad men will not bo able to de
stroy tho well groundo-.l confidence
which tho mass of our citizens have in
your integrity and capability.
In conclusion allow mo in behalf of
the laboring mass of agricultural peo
ple to assure you wo .varmly appro
ciato your efforts to promote their true
interests.
Your presenco at our monster meet
ing in Williams' grovoand your address
on that occasion, your regular atten
dance with the stato board of agricul
ture, tho investigation you havo mado
to ascertain the defects of tho manage
ment which has rendered tho stato
college of no value to our farmers and
mechanics for whoso benefit it was en
dowed, nre notablo instances of your
solicitude for tho most impoitaut in
dustry in tlio stato you are chosen to
govern.
Governor Pattison, you havo endear
ed yourself to tho farmers of Pennsyl
vania, and their unshaken faith in your
patriotism and integrity is their tribute
bestowed on this occasion.
Mr. Piollet concluded his remarks by
touching upon equal taxation and gen
eral legislation.

Tact, tusto nnd thu solving of problems
In (Innnco nro all necessary In tho making
ot Christmas presents. In ton days Christ
mas will bo here. It tho presents aro of
home manufnetnre they are well underway
by llils time : If they nro to bo purchased It
Is well not to delay tho shopping until tho
Inst moment. Christmas presents can of
ten bo bought to tho best advantage Imme
diately after tho holiday season. It Is too
into to prnctlce that form of economy In
buying presents for the coming Christmas,
but tho suggestion may. effect a saving In
tho distribution of next year's presents.
It Is not necessary to enumerate- tho ad
vantages of making Christmas purchnscs nt
leisure. Any ono who has chased about
from shop to shop on the dny before
Christmas nnd squandered his money In
tho making of n collection of inappropriate
presents, because he Una not tho tune to
choose suitable ones, does not need to be
told of Iho folly of such delay, nud of his
own accord will begin curly next year to
pick up articles hero nnd thero that fit In
nently with untntcinlonnl hints dropped In
tho conversation of his friends. It is its
appropriateness which gives the chief vnluo
to a Christmas present, nnd It Is because of
the appropriateness of tho gifts that articles
In tho manufacture of which time, care nnd
labor hnvo been expended cause more
pleasure to tho recipients than tho uncon
sidered bauble which Is given as It is re
ceived, without thought and without grati
tude. Tho purchased gift can express as much
ns the ono conceived nnd made nt home
with infinite pains, provided the necessary
forethought bo exercised in the making of
the purchase. Tho Christmas season is
ono for tho practice of liberality nnd gener
osity. It is well to stint yourself that you
may give, but If the giving is felt to bo a
burden it Is hotter not to give. Do not
give for form's sake. Bo sure that you
want to give before you give, but no not
run into debt or involve others in your sac
rifice. There may be nn abuse of even tho
beautiful Christmas custom. Do what you
can to keep the Christmas giving above tho
cold, perfunctory habit which too of
ten prevails in the making of birthday or
wedding presents. Phila. Press.

The TrnuipB MllHt On,
Tlio Legislature recently passed n law
for tho suppression of Hint perambulating
nuisance, tho professional tramp. We ex
tract tho following provisions from the
act t
Section 1 provides that any person going
from placo to place begging nnd acquiring
money nnd n living, nnd having no fixed
phico of residence in tho county or city In
which he shall bo arrested, shall bo deemed
a tramp, nnd on conviction shnll bo sen
tenced to a prison for a period not exceed
Ing twelve months.
Section 2 provides that any trnmp en
tering a dwelling houso without tho per
mission of the occupant, or shall kindle
any flro in tho highway, or on tho land of
another without the owner's consent, or
shall bo found to bo carrying dangerous
weapons nnd firearms, nnd shall on being
tried by n jury be found guilty of unlawful
practices as aforesaid, shall bo sentenced
to prison at hard labor for n period not ex
ceeding threo years.
Section 3 provides that nny net of beg
ging or vagrancy ns described shnll bo
evidence that tho person committing tho
same Is n trnmp.
Section 4 provides that any person may
apprehend a tramp and take him before a
justice of tho peace or nldcrmnn, whose
duty It shall be nftcr hearing the evidence,
to discharge or commit the prisoner for
trial, ns in other cases of misdemeanors.
Section 5 provides that the act shall not
apply to nny femalo or minor under six-
teen years of age, nor to nny blind, denf or
du :ib person, nor to any crippled person
unable to perform manual labor.

Our town Is having another convulsion,

Report has it that the contract for building
it had been left to tho Collins Bros, of Phil
adelphla, and tho Nolan Bros, of Reading,
Pa. I think the reports arc premature, ns
the charter is not completed, nor has tho
right of way been fully secured. But
I am creditably informed, tint a body of
Philadelphia capitalists have agreed to fur
nish tho funds to build the same, nt a pro
rata of $12,000 per mile.
Our supervisor of roads made somo re
pairs on our strcctB last week, for which
we are truly thankful. But it was only a

Niblo wns in error in his report in tlio
Republican of tho dog difficulty. There was
no altercation; both Lilley and Blakcr
claimed tho dog. But Jim's right to own
ncrship seemed to bo the best ns he still
has possession.
It is rumored that ono of Bloomsburg's
enterprising merchants is to wed ono of
Crangevllle's fair daughters about tho holi
days. Niblo came down on me with a heavy
hand, in his article in the Republican a cou
ple of weeks ago. I quoto tho article :
"I do not tell what I saw in tho different
store windows, as I do not want to starve
the printers, by freo ndvertising for the
merchants." How great Is your charity
Niblo, to starvq yourself rather than tho
printer, for I overhenrd you say a few
weeks ago, that you were going to stop
writing, as It didn't pay, nnd you would
starve at it. Charity should begin at homo
Barney. Look out for yourself and let tho
printer do likewise.
Lcnp year is near nnd so nro the ladles'
chances. Take advantage of it and chain
up some of our bachelors. I overheard one
of them say a few days ago that a single
man wns only half a man, and he was tired
of only being a half and was going to get
married. He is awfully bashful, girls, and
you must bo careful or you will frighten
off tho game. I am prompted to write
this article through sympathy for tho ladles
and this particular bachelor. You may
recognize him from the following dcscrlp.
tlon. He Is of medium height, blue eyes,
saudy hair and mustache, and has a habit
of carrying ids head sidowisc.

cough. I found no relief till 011 our inarch
wo camo to a country More, where, on asking
for some remedy, 1 uas urged to try Aveii's

"I did io, and was rapidly cured. Since
then l have kept tho I'EcronAL constantly by
me, for family use, and I havo found it to bo
an invaluable remedy for throat nntl lung
