EPISCOPAL C0KVOTI0S.
The annual convention of the
Protestant Episcopal Church in the
Diocese of Central Pennsylvania
opened in the Church of the Nativity
in South Bethlehem, on Tuesday
evening. St. Paul s Church, Blooms-b'J-g,
is entitled to three lay deputies,
beside the Rector, and Col. J. G.
Freeze the Chancellor of the Diocese,
also has a seat and a vote in the con
vention. It is very seldotn that this
parish is not fully represented, but
this year is an exception. Paul E.
Wirt, J. R. Townsend and Samuel
Wigfall were eleeted deputies, but
none of them were abie to go, owing
to the demands of business, and the
first two are also held here under sub
poena as witnesses in the Wintersteen
case now on trial. CoL Freeze being
of counsel in the same case, was also
prevented from going. Efforts were
made to find others who could go,
but were net successful, so that for
the first time in many years the par
ish is represented only by the rector.
More
Curative power is contained in Hood's
Sarsaparilla than in any other simi'ar
preparation. It costs the proprietor
and manufacturer more. It costs the
jobber more and it is worth more to
the consumer. More skill is required
in its preparation and it combines
more remedial qualities than any
other medicine. Consequently it has
a record of more cures and its sales
are more than those ot any other pre
paration. Hood's Sarsaparilla is the
dw meoicine to Duy because it w an
honest medicine and thousands of
testimonials prove that it does actual
P and permanently cure disease.
We acknowledge the receipt of an
invitation to attend the Commence
ment exercises of the University of
Pennsylvania, at the Academy of
Music in Philadelphia, on June 9, for
which we are indebted to William C.
Johnston, ex-County Superintendent,
who is a member of the class of '99 in

Fill a bottle or common water glasB

hours j a sediment or settling indi
cates a diseased cendition of the

is positive evidence of kidney trouble.
The frequent desire to urinate or pain

WHAT TO DO.
There is comfort in the knowledge
so often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's
Swamp Root, the great kidney remedy
fulfills every wish in relieving pain in
the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and
every part of the urinary passages. It
corrects inability to hold urine and
scalding pain in passing it. or bad
effects following use of liquor, wine or
Deer, ana overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled 10 get up
many times during the hight to
urinate. The mild and the extraordi
nary effect of Swamp-Root is soon
realized. It stands the highest for its
wonderful cures of the most distress-
ing cases. If you need a medicine

Rrtnsln the Qaevtloo Before the
Supreme Court Adjournment Mr
Be Reached In the Middle of July.
fSpeelal Correiponder.ee.
Mrrlburg. June i. Just whn th
state administration leaders ttni the
revenue raisers In the legislature were
ccr.f ratulatir.g thrnfe!ves on the fact
that at least one till for raising reve
nue waa a law, and practically sure of
raizing at ltast II. 000. 000 a year. J-j'Jr?
Hanna. of PMladelfhla. comes alcna;
with a constitutional club and knocks
out the Elkin art tailng direct Inheri
tances. He bases his decision on the
srcunl that the act Is In conflict with
the constitution, whirh prescribes that
all taxation upen the same class cf
a class, or to exempt any part of
that class from taxation, because the
constitution preserves that when a tax
is laid no power to exempt shall be
vested in the legislature for other prop
erty than that exempted by the con
stitution, and that as to the estates of
persons who died before the passage of
the act. Its provisions are retroactive
and therefore Illegal. The exemption In
question permits all personal property
below the value of 15.000 to ko free.
Governor Hastings, Attorney General
McCoTmick and other state officials are
still of the opinion that the bill is con
stitutional, and no time will be lost in
.getting a case before the iiinrm,i
ir -
mi int nigner irinunai may
pass upon the constitutionality of the
act.
Discussing the unexpected decision
on tne direct inheritance law State
Treasurer Haywood drew attention to
the fact that the points of law to which
Judge Hanna takes exception were all
discussed before the bill was passed,
and it was thought there were deci
sions of the supreme court to sustain
them. He said that the exemption and
retroactive features were all gone over
and were thought to be constitutional.
He added: "If It is decided that there
is a doubt about their constitutionality
there will have to be additional legisla
tion, for we must have revenue. We
can pan another bill In sir davs. If
this decision is sustained it will affect
the collateral Inheritance tax, and be
side the $1,000,000 we would lose through
tne alleged unconstitutionality of the
direct tax law we would also lose
$1,000,000 a year on the collateral Inher
itance law, which also contains an ex
emption clause."
I'nzzled Over the Revenue.
The whole question of revenue has
been one that has caused the legisla
ture no end of trouble. One proposi
tion after another has been made with
a view to-increasing the revenue to
meet the demands upon the state treas
ury, but the objections are as frequent
as the propositions, and the result is
that no substantial progress has been
made during the past ten days in the
way of solving the problem. There has
been a good deal of talk about taxing
oleomargarine, but the farming ele
ment in the legislature, with few ex
ceptions, are unalterably opposed to
thus legalizing the sale of what they
are pleased to term "bogus butter." It
Is believed that a tax upon the sale of
oleo" would bring in a large amount
of revenue.
A fe days ago Senator Grady of
fered a resolution in the senate request
ing the governor to communicate to
the general assembly whether a de
ficit would exist at the close of the
present fiscal year, and whether the es
timated revenues for the two ensuing
years would be sufficient to meet the
deficit. If any exists, aa well as the
ordinary expenses of the state govern
ment, end if In his judgment existing
laws ara not sufficient, then what sub
jects of taxation he would recom
mend that will sufficiently increase the
revenues so as to prevent financial
embarrassment. This resolution passed
the senate and, being concurred in by
the house with practical unanimity,
was sent to the governor. Unless all
signs fail there will be some fun In the
senate when his reply is received. The
friends of the governor believe that the
resolution was conceived In the camp
of his enemies and sent to him aa a
sort of challenge because of his well
known policy to cut down all unneces
sary expenses.
A move was made In the house last
week towards final adjournment. Cer
tain changes In the rules were adopted
which provide for the dropping from
the calendar of a couple hundred bills
on second reading, which could never
be reached unless the legislature re
mains In session all summer. The
complications over the revenue prob
lem have delayed work on appropria
tion bills, and' as It stands now final
adjournment cannot possibly be reach
ed before the middle of July
The Wfllor Labor Law,
One of the most Important bills con-
siaerea at tne present session was one
Introduced by Representative Weller
to protect employes of corporations in
their right to join and form labor or
ganizations. This bill was fought
through both the senate and house and
finally reached the governor, who gave
both sides hearings before he took ac
tion. He approved the bill on Friday
last. This measure had the support of
the labor organizations throughout the
state, and the leaders have been in
Harrlsbtire -lnce the opening of the
session helping it along. The act pro
vides briefly that If any officer, agent
or employe of any corporation shall
coerce, or attempt to coerce any em
ploye for connection with any lawful
labor o-ganlzatlon, or shall exact from
any applicant for employment any
promise or agreement not to form, Join
it belc 1 to such organization, or shall
n any manner endeavor to prevent an
employe from exercising his lawful
right in this respect the percon of
fending shall be guilty of a misdemea
nor and liable to a fine, on conviction,
f nt more than $t. nor less than
$1,004, and Imprisonment not exceed
ing coe j ear. either or both.
Another attempt was made a day tT
two ago to place upon the calendar the
Creaky blil fxlng uniform passenger
fare on steam ratfway at two cents per
mile. This Mil wan reported n"eatlv
Ijr from the house committee cn rail
roads a few weeks ago. Some such
measure bobs up at every session of
the legislature, but It rarely gets be
yond the committee to which It If re
ferred. Mr. Creasy, who Is one of the
Democratic leaders In the house, made
a speech In support of his bill. In which
be took the position that, as the pur
chasing power of a dollar Is double
that of a few years ago. It Is only fair
that railroad companies should reduce
their charges In the same proportion at
prices of food products and other nec
essaries of life have been reduced. Rep
resentatlve I.jtle. of Huntingdon, op
posed the bill, saying that the consti
tution would interfere with the enact
ment of such a measure. Inasmuch at
the act Incorporating the Pennsylvania
Railroad company fixed the rate of far.
Comparative Veto tatlstlcs.
Governor Hastings has not lost hit
grip on the veto ax. He favors the
legislature with one or two veto mes
sages every day. One of his latest ve
toes knocks out a concurrent resolution
directing the state printer to print 2.500
copies of grand atlases to accompany
certain geological reports. He says
this resolution. If approved, would oom
n.!t the state to the expense of printing
the maps. There is no provision or
limitation In the resolution regarding
their cost, and the governor suggests
that the state printer could go on and
complete maps according to his own
taste and Judgment, fixing his own
price therefor. He concludes that he
could not give the measure his ap
proval, even If the bill was In due form
of law, guarded by careful restrictions
as to the cost of the maps, because of
the present condition cf the public
treasury.
An interesting table has been pre
pared showing the results of a careful
and discrimnatlng use of the veto
power by the last three governors. This
table, In addition to the number of
vetoes of each governor, also shows the
amount of money saved by reason of
the vetoes, as follows: Governor Pat-
tison's first term, 1SS3, S3 vetoes, $3S.6isS
saved; 1SS5, 10S vetoes, saved JS3.S7.
Governor Beaver's term. US", 89 vetoes.
$1,927.83; aved; 1SS9, 43 vetoes. 1351.6ST
saved. Governor Paulson's second term,
1SSI. ii vetoes. $5S3.446 saved; 1S33. SO
vetoes, saved $1,071,063. Governor Hast
ings, H:r,, 123 vetoes, saved $745,551.
A concurrent resolution has been ap
proved by the governor urging upon
the Pennsylvania representatives In
congress to work to secure the passage
of laws looking to the restriction of
Immigration. He has also approved a
resolution urging the representatives of
Pennsylvania at Washington to press
to passage a bill for the retirement of
General D. M. Gregg with the rank of
captain, which he held at the time of
his resignation from the army.
Rapidly the old capltol Is being dis
mantled, and before the close of the
present week at least half of the ruins
will be removed. A week ago Contrac
tor Rorke's men began work, and their
progress has been so satisfactory as to
Justify the belief that the walls and
foundations will be removed within the
time limit of 35 days. Architects in all
parts of the country are now at work
on the competitive plans for the new
building, and these will be submitted
about the middle of July. Two or three
weeks will then be given contractors
to bid cn the plan adopted by the com
mission, so that work on the new struc
ture is expected to be commenced
about Aug. 1.
Electric railway measures have met
with all sorts of opposition In the pres
ent legislature. The Bteam railroad In
fluences have been too great to over
come, und as a result the Young bill,
giving trolley companies a chance on
the highways of the state, and the
Macfcey bill, giving them the right to
carry freight, are still hanging fire in
the houe.
Tactics have been employed In de
laying these bills which are not cred
itable to those engaged in them. These
measures have been attacked on all
sides and under all kinds of pretexts,
but the better element In the legisla
ture believe that they are fair bills
and ounht to be passed.
Focht's Allen Pauper BUI.
Representative Focht, of Union coun
ty, Is pushing to final passage his bill
providing for the return of paupers and
Insane persons, not having a legal set
tlement within this commonwealth, to
any other state or country to which
they may have belonged. Mr. Focht
Is chairman of the special committee
appointed by the legislature of 1S95 to
Investigate the question of alien and
pauper Inmates of the state Institu
tions, ar.d he contends that much of
the expense of these Institutions is
caused by the maintenance of alien
paupera.
The governor has Just approved a
bill to validate contracts for street Im
provements and the construction of
sewers that were made under laws and
ordinances declared unconstitutional.
It applies to street paving, macadamiz
ing and grading, completed or In pro
cess of completion, and provides the
method of levying assessments and ap
pointing viewers.
It Is probable that the Hamilton road
bill, one of the measures that has
caused more talk during the present
session of the legislature than any
other half doxen bills, will likely reach
the governor this week. It was sent
to the senate with a ride.', providing
that $1,000,000 should be appropriated
for the Improvement of highways be
fore the law becomes operative. This
amount was cut down by the senate to
$500,000, and if the house concurs In
the change the bill will be Bent to the
governor. There cannot be any doubt
that he will approve. Inasmuch eb he
has urged the passage of a road bill at
both sessions of the legislature.
Another Important measure is almost
sure to reach the governor within the
next few days. I refer to the Stewart
Interest bill, which was passed by the
house several weeks ago and sent to
the senate. That body has adopted,
several amendments, and as the bill
stands now it provides for interest on
all state deposits at the rate of 2 per
cent, except in tne five active depos
, itories in Philadelphia, Pittsburg and
Harrisburg which are to pay 1 per
cent en dally balances and make col
lections for the stat free of cost.
