Thursday next is me uate nxed for the final adjourn ment of the legislature, but the mn dltlon of the calendars of both senate and house Is such that it will be Im possible to get away before next Sat urday. If then. All the efforts of the leaders of the two branches of the le. islature are being directed toward final ajournment, because they realise that every day adds to the danger of the party In power. Not only the minority, but a very considerable number of Re. publicans are making It unpleasant for the organization. There Is danger of a revolt In the Republican ranks, and not a few thoughtful men predict that a split In the Republican party will follow the controversies In the lrela. lature. Since the opening of the session lnnt January the Seventy-six, or anti-Quay Republicans, have been accumulating trouble for the faction In power. These men have consistently pursued a course or opposition to the plans of the lead ers In the senate and house, and wher ever possible they have made It un pleasant for the Quay men. While In the minority, they have maintained their organization so well as to de moralize the faction which organized the legislature. Not a point was lost throughout the session. Anything that would add to the unhappiiiess of tho other side was promptly taken ad vantage of, and the situation has de veloped a singular state of facts. In stead of the Quay men running the legislature in these latter days, they are In reality following the Seventv- sixers. Many things have contributed THE Investigating committees Is merely preliminary to the big battle on the Lexow bill. Political Reforms Unpopular, Political reforms have not been pop ular with the majority In this legis lature, and when the record Is made up at the close of the session It wilt be found that the campaign promises have not been kept. Since 1S9S there has been nothing talked about In cer tain circles but reform of one kind or another. Senator Quay appointed a committee of prominent party men to prepare bills covering his Ideas of re form. These measures were considered by the state conventions and Indorsed. Everything looked like a political mll lenlum, but when the legislature finally received the hills they were found to be "J" rauum 10 sun in average political . . . t . T j r -mind.

Mr. McElhanv clared that the National Guard en campments could be dispensed With for iwo years, ana said that for many of the men they were nothing but a de bauch and drunk.

Al ready the opposition has developed borne of the bills introduced have opened the eyes of the older members to the danger of permitting the ex travagent legislators to make up the expense account of Investigating com mittees. Many of these bills will be thoroughly ventilated on the floor of the house, where the principal battle win take place this week. Thousands or dollars are Involved in these ex travagant measures, and It ls difficult to understand how It ls possible to pad the bills In the way that it has been done. Hundreds of dollars are Includ ea ior items that are claimed to be fraudulent. In one election contest the bill was several thousand dollars and a member of the committee, Mr. Rice, of uucks county, made a statement to the house which caused a sensation. In 1. 1 1 1 , . . . .. hub uiii ue was aiiowea. S4Z ior "car fare, telegrams, etc," and moved to strike out the Item, saying that he had never had any such expenses. Other committeemen had similar Items of expense. So it goes all through the list of the various committees. An old leg islator said to me the other day that In view of the fact that every member rides on a paBs it was absurd to charge thousands of dollars for mileage on the railroad. He further intimated that unless this sort of extravagence was stopped the Republican party would suffer at the polls. Disgunted Oyer Investigation Expense Many loyal Quay men are disgusted with the way In which the Investigat ing committees have piled up the ex pense account. In the house a member of a committee which arranged for the trips of the legislature to the Grant monument ceremonies asked that the bill be sent back to committee "for investigation and proper amendment." He thought that he ought to have an opportunity, as a member of tho com mittee, to scan the items of expense. Those who were with the legislature at New Tork cannot fathom the ex pense account for that trip. It is said that the caterer U to have $5,000. This Is a sample of the general makeup of the bills. About $1,700 ls wanted by the committee which investigated the origin of the capltol fire. When it came up in tne house last Saturday Mr. Phillips, of Chester, declared that It should be wiped from the calendar without further consideration; that it was impossible for this committee to have expended any such sum of money, because it never eat outside of Harris burg. Mr. Miller, of Somerset, the chairman of the fire investigating com mittee, said that there had been soma mistake and asked that further con sideration of the bill be nostDoned. This saved the measure for the time being.
