The rtonra One of tlio Mont Independ ent of Any tn Itecent Tears The Fnc, ttonat Warfare How tho Question of lUtHfnaRevrnne Wan Finally Settled (Special Correspondence.) Harrlsburg, July 8. The record of ttit legislature of 1S97 has been made up, and nothing- which may be said now will In the slightest affect that record. In the closing hour of the Ion, when the era of good feeling pre vailed, and when the asperities of the long session had been In a measure smoothed away by the thoughts of parting, Speaker Boyer took occasion. In responding to some complimentary remarks on a resolution thanking him for his Impartial and able discharge of the duties of presiding officer, to say that the present house had done much that was rood and that, not withstand ing- me criticism wnicn had gone broadcast throughout the state, when the people of the commonwealth had an opportunity totudy the record of the legislature they would give praise where praise belonged, and properly estimate the work of their represents tlves. It was a remarkable session In many respects and much might be said of it In commendation. As a rule the senate not much discussed, because it Is in the nature of a continuing body, but the house, being composed of represen tatives fresh from the people, Is always looked upon as the branch of the legis. lature most to be praised or c dunned. In this view of It, therefore, it Is proper to say that no house In re cent years was more independent in Its treatment of all questions before It nor mere honest In its effort to do that wnicn was right. Of course, as in all Urge bodies, there was the element men cared nothing for nubile onin ion ana was responsible to nobody. This element was responsible for many inings wnicn reflected upon the mem Dcramp or tne entire house. When the record Is gone over carefully It will be found that much that was condemn never reached the stage of final ac tion. Many excellent measures have be. come laws, and it remains for Gover nor Hastings to finally dispose of those which are open to fair objection either on the score of extravagence or viciousness. During the next 30 dav the governor will clear his table of the Dins left him as a legacy by the legls aiure. ana ne nas said that the veto ax will be used vigorously upon all measures that are travagent or which public welfare. excessively ex are against the The Factional Warfare. I" this connection a word about the factional warfare In the house during tht session may not be amiss. Owing to the great fight over the seat of Sena tor Cameron, at the outset of the ses sion, a more or less bitter factional feeling prevailed throughout the entire at months of the term. The Wana maker forces lined up under the leader chip of E. A. Van Valkenburff. who managed the anti-Quay light under great odds with oonaummate skill. So well did he handle the minority, which held the balance of power, that he was complimented after adjournment on Thursday by many of the fighters on the opposite side. One of the most con spicuous leaders in the state said to him that had It not been for his tac tical resources and his ability to make the most of every situation the Ouav people would have easily controlled and directed the policy of the house upon every bill under consideration. Mr. Van VaHcenburg modestly disclaimed any desire to be regarded as a leader, but remarked that he had come here as one of the friends of Mr. Wanamaker, to do all he could for that gentleman's elevation to the place of United States senator. Having failed In this he felt It his duty to stand with his friends and to accomplish alt that It was pos sible to accomplish In a contest of this kind. During the closing days there was an exceedingly hot fight against the proposition to Increase excessively the tax on foreign Insurance companies for the purpose of increasing the revenues of the state. Prominent insurance ren- resentatlves from all parts of the country were here to argue against the policy of Increasing the tax of outside Insurance companies. In view of th fact that other states would retaliate upon Pennsylvania companies, and In the end compel the holders of insurance polices tn this state to pay the ad dlUonat tax. The bill was defeated few hours before final adjournment. and the tax on foreign Insurance com panies remains at 2 per cent. The various revenue bills passed and sent to the governor during the Reunion are estimated to Increase the revenues or tne state about $2. 300. 000. a.nri thl amount, It is believed, will be suf ficient to pay all the approDrlatlnn bills passed this week. The New Lloense Law. The most Important fight of the sea- ion occurred during the last 24 hours of the life of the legislature. It was on the bill amending the general license law. When the bills taxing beer were aban doned In the senate another scheme of revenue was devlsad which embracer! general reclassification of' llcnae Including brewers, distillers and bot tlers. When this bill came back to the house that body, whloh had passed the beer bills originally, insisted that the proper way to raise revenue was to place a heavy tax upon brewers, and refused to concur in the senate amend ment changing the method of taxing the liquor men. Those opposed to the change contended that the new scheme was an unfair discrimination aealnat the small brewers and distillers in fa vor of the large brewing interests; that tne bill started by imposing a heavy tax upon the smaller brewers and end ed with a light tax upon the big ones. 8o successfully was this argument pre sented to the house that the report of th conference committee was over, wbeluingly defeated, and the bin again sent bark to conference, which report ed at 5 o'clock on Thursday morning with an entire new classification, mak ing the larger brewers the heavier tax payers. After some discussion the bill as amended the third time passed both bodies and was sent to the governor. It Is estimated that It will bring Into the treasury about ISOO.OflO more than the the present license law. It provides that brewers, the production of whose breweries was less than 1,000 barrels the preceding year, shall pay 1260, and in this proportion the rate Is Increased until the brewer whose production reaches 200,000 barrels and less than 300, 000 shall pay $5,000, and all In excess of 800,000 barrels per year $6,600. It Is fur ther provided that brewers licensed by the state treasurer under the existing law shall pay according to the classlfi cation of the new bill. Bottlers will be required to pay IR00 In cities of the first and second classes, 13B0 In the cities of the third class and all other cities. $250 in boroughs and $125 In townships, wnoiesaie dealers will pay $1,000 In cities of the first and second class, f&OO in cities of the third class, 1200 In boroughs and $100 In townships. There is no doubht that Governor Hastings will approve the bill, as It Is looked upon as the best revenue scheme that could be evolved out of a multitude of suggestions made on the revenue subject. Efforts to Increase Appropriations There was much log rolling during the closing days on appropriation bills. but the attempt of the senate to In crease the amounts provided for In the bills passed by the house were not suc cessful in a single instance. On the other hand, manv bills which came from the senate were Ignominious! y cut down by the house. An effort was made in the senate to Increase the amount allowed for the New York and Philadel phia junkets of the legislature from $5.- 000 to $10,300. but the report of the con, ference committee was rejected. Pub- sequently the senate receded from Its amendments and the original amount of $5,000 for the two trips was passed. The frpneraj Dnnrnnrlatlnn Kill m.A. . through without material amendments m- ivunu uv. men was a ngm against severs. Items, but they were not sttrlren out, and it remains for Governor Hastings to use the carving Knire on the objectionable paragraphs, The much discussed Item of $56,000 for fitting up Grace church for the use of the legislature Is In this bill. The gen- eral appropriation bill also contains an item of 120,000 for the rental and restoration of Grace church for the uses of the congregation. Before the general appropriation was finally permitted to go through It was necessary for Speaker Boyer to go upon the floor and make a statement that the public school Item of $11,000,000 and the other item of $260,000 for the state normal schools would not be molested. e gave fair warning, however, that the time would soon come when the normal schools will not receive state ara. henator Daniel B. Walton, of Oreen county, was elected president pro tern or tne senate an hour before the final adjournment. He is a candidate for re-election in a Democratic district. ana nis mends hope that the honor conferred upon him by ,the senate will assist htm in his canvass at home. a strong effort was made to nut inrougn tne race track pool bill, hut It failed after repeated attempts. Some or tne wealthiest horsemen In the state ana many agricultural societies were pushing this measure, but the senate ana house were against It. Governor Hastings has approved the new libel law. and It Is now In full force In the state. It Is not what the editors and publishers wanted exactly, but It a much more liberal law than the old measure. The IIokus Insurance Scandal The report of the committee chare-ed wnn me investigation of the $50,000 in. surance scandal was submitted the day before final adjournment. After review ing the testimony the committee re ports that there was no demand made by any member of the legislature for any money or other valuable consider ation for the defeat of the insurance bill, and that there was nothing done or said upon the part of any member of the house or senate which Justified the rumor affecting or Impeaching the integrity or tne legislature. For 10 years the distillers of the state have attempted to have the legislature pass an corporation, act. They tried It hub session, dui were dlsap- fw1, u wa8 arR!,ed aga,nst the bm that this was a scheme to enable the uig aisuuers to organize a trust to treese out the smaller distillers throughout the state. Just whv nthr Interests and concerns are permitted to oecome incorporated and the lin drawn at distillers Is not easy to un derstand.

One of the bills that was expected to create a sensation In the house died in the appropriation committee of that body. It was the bill of $66,000 to pay the expenses of the senate committee which investigated the municipal affairs of Philadelphia. On the morning of the last day Chairman Marshall reported this bill and others with a negative rec ommendation. The talk about the cap Itol was that Senator Quay had advised this course on this bill, and insisted that the amount should be paid some other way. Chairman Andrews, when asked about the bill, suld that he cared nothing about It. that all the bills were paid, and be wa satisfied. ...
