The Williamsport Sun thinks that "almost every county in the state is liable to be cut in two now that the legislature has set the precedent by forming a new county to please the boss who owns the legislature. Ly coming county need not expect to escape, and in a few years we may expect to see a new county formed of parts of Lycoming and Clinton, witn Jersey Shore as the county seat." When the editor of the Philadelphia J'res.1 speaks in contemptuous terms of such a man as Charles R. I3ucka i.ew, he shows his ignorance of not only agrtat Pennsylvanian but of one of the country's greatest statesmen, remarks the Hamsburg Independent. lie is the nearest approach to Albert Gallatin of any man living to-day. The J'ress editor should shake off some of his New York and Yankee ideas and get to know something of the history of Pennsylvania before he attempts to belittle the reputation of one of its most distinguished sons. The President has issued the follow ing proclamation : Whereas, the Island of Cuba is now the seat of serious civil disturban ces, accompanied by armed resistance to the authority of the established government of Spain, a power with which the United States are and de sire to remain on terms of peace and amity; and, Whereas, the laws of the United States prohibit their citizens, as well as all others, being within and subject to their jurisdiction, from taking part in such disturb .cces adversely to such established government by accepting or exercising commissions for warlike service acainst it, by enlistment or procuring others to enlist for such ser vice, by fitting out armed or procuring to be titled out armed ships of war for such service, by augmenting the force of any ship of war engaged in such service ana arriving in a port of the United States and by setting on foot cr providing or preparing the means for military enterprises to be carried on from the United States against the territory of such government : Now, therefore in recognition of the laws aforesaid and in discharge of the obligations of the United Srates towards a friendly power and as a measure of precaution and to the end that citizens of the United .States and all others within its jurisdiction may be deterred from sub jecting themselves to legal forfeitures and penalties, I, Grover Cleveland, President of the Lulled States ot America, do hereby admonish all such citizens and other ptuons to abstain from every violation 01 the laws hereinbelore re ferred to and do hereby warn them that all violations of such laws wi.l be rigorously prosecuted ; and I do here ly enjoin upon all officers of the United States charged with the execu tion ot said laws the utmost diligence in preventing violations thereof and in bringing to trial and punishment any calenders against the same. in testimony whereof I have here unto set my band and caused the seal ot the United States to be affixed.

The juditional apportionment bill passed in the closing hours of the recent legiilalure has been approved by Governor Hastings. The meas ure creates five new judges and goes into effect at once. Under the new apportionment Washington and Westmoreland each pet an additional law judge, Centre is detached from Huntingdon and made a separate district, Huntingdon is tacked on to Mifflin to form a district and Jefferson is detached from Clar ion so as to make each county a separate district. These are the only changes in the apportionment of 1883. BILLS MARKED FOB VETO. I.EOm.ATURE REFUSED TO HEED THK GOVERNORS WARNING IN THE MAT TER OK APPROPRIATIONS THREE Mil I.

(Vvet:;or 1 listings will have his -'.1 d fii'l d'.ii:,,; Hie next three weeks with the legislation left with him by the recent legislature. He has 468 bills to dispose of, or 100 more than the entire number approved by Gov ernor Pattison two years ago. Half of the bills awaiting the governor's action arc appropriation measures, the aggregate amount being about $23,- 000,000. Private Secretary Ueitler and Ex ecutive Clerk Harris have prepared for the use of the governor a chart of the appropriation bills which tells at a glance whether any bill is a senate or house measure, its number, subject and amount. The chart shows that the senate appropriation bills yet on hand include $28,000 for miscellan eous appropriations, or a total of sen ate bills of $77,091. Of the house bills in hand those of a miscellaneous character, including the general ap propriation bill, appropriate $15 584.. 535, 1 8 i for institutions partly depend ent on the state, $1,938,171,231 in stitutions wholly dependent on the state, $4,9SJ?7536 i gratuities, $1, 5)SS ! pensions, $1,392 ; annuities, $1,160, or a total of house bills of $22,501,068,56, and a joint total of house and senate yet to be acted up on of $22,578,759,50. During the session the governor ap proved bills appropriating in the aggre gate $152,581,49 to institutions wholly dependent upon the state: pen sions and gratuities, $576, and mis cellaneous, $152,581,49, or a total of $22,749,149.99, or almost $3,000,000 more than the state revenues. Early in the session the governor sent a message to the legislature urg ing it to go slowly in the matter of appropriations and stating that the revenues for the next two vears could not exceed $20,000,000. The legis lators did not heed the executive warning and the result will be that a cut of $5,000,000 will be made by the governor in the appropriations. The state institutions will be taken care of first and then the most worthy of the charitable institutions dependent part ly upon the state will be considered. The lopping off of $3,000,000 means that many local charitable institutions and many institutions that barely live through the year with the little the state has heretofore given them will suffer severely. The governor will hardly give much attention to their disposal this week. To-day and to-morrow he will hear delegations for and against the Woods water bill and the Quay county bill, and on Wednesday he will go to Johns town to appear in a suit for libel against ex District Attorney O'Connor for remarks made by him while he was a candidate relative to the operations of the governor while he had charge of affairs there after the Johnstown flood. Saturday is taken up with an engagement in Philadelphia, so that he will hardly get down to the real work of examining bills before June 24, and will have until July 8 to finish them up. fariot. American Extravagance. The American thinks it a fine thing to be pound-foolish, and a mean thing to be penny-wise. He lacks patience also ; he loses courage over any plan or scheme that requires years to per fect, such as mapping out his life and saying, " I am now grown and edu cated ; in five years I will do this, in five more that, in ten more something else," as the European does. He does not say, " In ten years I shall have paid all my father's debts ; I shall then marry ; in ten more I shall have laid by for my wife and children five, ten, twenty, fifty, a hundred thousand dol lars, shall have bought this or that place for myself, this or that business for my son." The American's mind is so full of large and splendid possi bilities that he comes to regard them as probabilities and to scorn the day of small things, th patient processes and careful economies by which important results are more often achieved than in any other way. Every American expects to succeed : every European looks to it that he shall not fail ignominiously in the race of life. He handicaps himself, he will give so much time, youth, money, to win such and such a result. He will not marry too young or foolishly, know ing that ruin a deux is all that awaits him. He takes long views, and makes careful plans, not leaving much to chance or accident, unlike the Ameri can, who is always waiting, Micawber wise, for the splendid chance that is to make his fortune, the " something to turn up " that is to revolutionize all his future, the turn in the tide that is to lead on to victory though as often as not it strands him on the beach of adversity, old age, and lailure.
