The corrupt est kind of corrupt legislation is fre quently passe i in the burly barly ar.i coa fusion of a dying srssion . We Ieara that the Committee on Printing of the House of Representa tives has agreed to recommend the publication of a small edition of the report upon the Chicago Dairy Tests prepared by the testing committee. As there will doubtiess be a great demand for this report, we suggest that such of our readers as desire to possess aa authentic record of the greatest dairy test ever conducted in this or any other country make ear!y application to their representatives in Congress for a copy of this report. ClerIaad (ht for th 2ilid of tie Trstnrj. i M'- Cleveland has made an earnest appeal to congress to do something in the way of relieving the embarrass ment of the government. It is doubt ful, however, if anything will be done at the present session. There is a probability that relief legislation can pass in the house ia the face of fierce opposition, but the rules of the senate or rather the lack of rules, forbid the hope that anything can be done there. If it should happen that there would be a financial enactment before the 4& of March, it will be much of a surprise to those who understand the state of the present situation. Al toona Times. CoL ItcCkre E-Iciie Got. Cartia. Ia the life and services of the la mented Andrew G. Curtin is inter woven so much of national and state history that the student who reflects t read the eloquent tribute of praise re cectly offered him by CoL A. K. Mc Clure, before the assembled State Leg islature, will be wanting ia respect of the true histoty of this statesman aad patriot, CoL McCure, perhaps the ablest editor ia America to-day, (he is certainly the most popular) was the one of all oihers to pronounce the eulogy aad recite the history and bio graphy of Andrew G. Curtin the schol ar, the statesman, the patriot, and the supremely beloved war governor of Pennsylvania This eulogy can no doubt be gotten in pamphlet torm through Representatives in the Legis lature. It is worthy a place in any library. Emuae in Sight, Bat Hot Yrt Collected Now that it is fairly estimated that about $50,000,000 is within sight for the government as quite possible to be collected as income tax from those having a superabundance of this world's goods, there is a little disposition to breathe freer on the part of the Presi dent and the Secretanr of the But just think of the superfluity of wciin in mis country when a two per cent taxation half gotten will realize $50,000,000 1 But O the lies that will be told to evade this tax ! Hell will need an annex or another dormitory, we fear, for ottererj of false , oaths araonz the richer of thi who want more, more, more, now ncoceiorta ana forever; and they k watt it too, without the least regard for the rest of mankind. Some prefer it, of coarse, through legal enactment, and some even obiect to a fal nih. from this class the revenue will be collected. From the other class it will not be. Gool Beads Good roads, the main arteries cf continental trafr.e, are sure!y q ute as deservirg of appropiat.on for miin ttirier.ce (r;ra public fjnds as are me tenths of the miriy ins:;: ut.o-.s and objects thus provide! for. To the wr.'er it seems a burning share that no voice is raised in our hails cf legislation in b-eha'.i of tne rural d's tacts in general and the continental highways in particular. While all navigable water-coarse and rivers and harbors (some ia fact that the Atraighry never intenle ! shouUl be navigable by anything larger thai a skirl) are ampiv provid ed for year in and year out, from the funds in the treasuries not otherw.se appropriated, the countryman of America. (England maintains good roads ) have to make a'J the.r own public roads at their own expense, besides payirg whatever damage may befall man or beast who in any way gets hurt in traveling over them. This, Hike giving nothing whatever to coun try acalemies from the millions appro priated for school purpoesi is unfair and inequitable. Who disputes it ? While watercourses and railroads have been the recipients of public funds and favors from time to time until ia some cases they feel that they are mooarchs of al they survey, ha v. i'g rights and special favors that none presume to dispute, yet the over tax ed countryman of America still eas to bai'id at his own expense and Labor every foot of the roads which are traveled free of charge by evetjbody. He builds all roads except where the exclusive privilege is given some cor poration to fix up a turn pike, so called on him, aad then t o sock it to him at the toil gate. Here, ia far too many cases, tr.e countryrnaa has the privilege cf taking to the woods or traveling over a mad turnpike which is so perfectly devoid of stones as to huLs. ia many places, in the sprirg and fall c4 each year. This is an exact fact- Thoagh dclberately skinned at every turn aad woeful y neglected aad forgotten ia all manner of he'pful legislation, the carmir.g legislators, (wao are friendly eaoagh just before election, of course.) find it far more profitable to look after the interests of corporate wealth, while carefully nars ing the popular opinion that the American farmer of to day is way above his business in his extravagant notion that he aad bis children may still presume to live as well through honest toil as those who despise work and greatly prefer to live by their wits. Cozzrtasisaal Hnor. Tber seem to be indalin in cm. . , , . u c sideraUe alteration in Congress. Ever since the three " Rs" were sprunz on Blaine so successfully the disnoa- tion of the frantic statesman is to huat down the enemy with alliterative denouncement Tne "Brains, belly and brass" charged against the present administration by Mr. Sibley is alliter ative enough, and perhaps true enough; but we caat well see how aa adminis tration would get along in these pecu liar ttmes shou d it find itself deicient in either of tnese restiects. Let's illustrate a little. To have the shio of State adrift without brains enough to guide it safely would certainly be caiimtious. a ncn to navc tree lunches innumerable and no roomy place to put them wwiM be productive of dis- pepsia ana b'.gsiy vexatious. And to lack brass enouzh to deal stern'v with Congressmen whose lips lequire a little more sealing wax after they have been Crettv well sealed alrtadv. wnnM be unfair to the more honorable aad honest aad modest It is quite possi. b!e that Mr. Siblev's recent exoositian of the suscepiibi ity of Cocgressmen to onoery is entirely correct; but to denounce the administration because it recreates oa Hog Island or fishes in Buzzard's Bar is 7Totsniilv ri.-tim. lous ; for if anybody has to deal with uuimiui in m uaiiy routine iu the President of the United States. Coajdsory Education- Evidently, our law makers are bent upon looking after the improvement of our school system as bills of various kinds are already seeking passage through the legislature. There are two, at least, providing for compulsory education, the one having been intro duced by Mr. Farr, of Lackawaona, and the other by Mr. Seybert, of Lancaster. One of these bills pro vides for the arrest of truant scholars and all others who for any simpie choice of preference do not attend schooL Another bill aims to have a school census taken bi annually, so that we may know the number of children of school age who do not attend school and enlarge our jails to accommodate the truants. This seems rather rough on the boys and girls ; but evidently our modern states men are convinced that "in know, ledge there is power." Still when all are highly educated and living on their wits, who'll do the work that the little truants now have to do ? This is a long and broad question that the statesman, feeling his own weight of ignorance, ought to pause and reflect upon before he has the jails fixed op for little truants who won t go to school.
