FAVOR COCHRAN BILL.
Mr. Sheatz has about concluded
that his committee cannot avoid re
porting out favorably to the house
Senator Cochran's pension bill for
Pennsylvania veterans. The ap
propriations chaii man savs that this
measure would takeout of the State
treasury in the ensuiug two years
not less than $7,000,000, and per
haps close to $10,000,000. The
senate, in which body "the Republi
cans dreaded to oppose the bill, put
it upon the house, and now the
ame feur of the consequences of
tilling it prevails among the house
mnjority. The indications being
that the house will send this bill to
the governor, Mr. Sheatz throws up
bis hands and asks where provision
is to come from for an increased
school appropriation, heavy sums
for good roads, larger grants to in
sane hospitals, and the many other
piojected increases in expenditures.
The State Senate has put in the
appropriation bill the sura of $429,
000 for the Danville Hospital for
the .Insane.

Too Much Legislation.
A tendency toward the enact
mem ot legislation having ior it?
object the holding of fewer elections
is noticeable 111 many of the slates.
In Pennsylvania bills are pending
111 the legislature having for their
object the doing awav with the
spring election, although it is high
lv improbable that they will te
passed. In Massachusetts, where
........ I . . a
a governor anu oiner state otticiais
are elected every year, an effort is
being made to lengthen the term.
Upon the proposition to hold but
one election each year in Pennsyl
vania, there are arguments on both
sides. One result of frequent elec
tions is over-legislation, which s
of the worst evils of our system of
government. No sooner is a law
passtd, making changes, in most
cases not needed, and some degree
of adjustment to the new conditions
it cre.ues accomplished, than some
new legislator, who thinks he must
do something to signalize himself,
succeeds in getting it repealed, or
amended, till the statute books are
Hided down with a mass ol discor
dant and lieteiogenous legislation ,
carelessly drawn and. hastily enact
ed, and impossible of harmonious
interpretation or application. There
is no doubt that the country, as a
whole, is overburdened with legisla
tion. We hav2 not only congress,
but the legislative bodies of all the
states, all hard at work passing
new laws, every member being am
bitious to associate his name with
some measure that shall be brought
to enactment.
In Great Britain, with 40,000,
000 inhabitants, one legislature,
sitting no 'longer than congress,
and selected on an average only
once in seven years, does all that
is reqt-.i-ed. No. doubt less fre
quent elections would give those
chosen to legislate the benefit of
experience, and the expense to the
community would be greatly dimin

Glitters is
Neither arc great possessions the
real riches. The chief aim of tno-t
men is to accumulate wealth, as
though life consisted of great pos
sessions Proj)erty is evscnii.il to
happiness and oinfort; but too of
ten it proves to be a snare, instead
of a blessing.
But "as it is not all of life to live,
nor all of death to die," neither is
prosperity nor wealth the chief es
sential that renders life happy.
Therefore, great possessions and
coffers of gold, are not the standard
values by which happiness is mea
sured. Contentment, with or with
out great possessions, is the true
standard by which happiness is
measured. t
Some men, yes, the majority of
them, value very highly, all things,
wh;se commercial worth is measur
ed by the unit value of a dollar, as
though all values consist of dollars
and cents, and that no life can be
successful without a full measure
of this world's goods. And to this
end many sacrifice every principle
of honor and justice in order to be
come wealthy.
But many prefer righteous prin
ciples, as the standard of values,
that measure the degrees ol happi
ness, as me cniet source ot a sue
cessful life. Following such t
course affords more real happiness
and comfort than to deal, by sharp
practice, to gam advantageous
ground to beat every one they deal
with.
Yet many people value friend
ship, souvenirs and other objects
which have no commercial value
whatever, above all values of a
commercial nature, which they hold
as dear as life itself.
These things are above all finan
cial consideration, and which they
would not dispense with, for mon
ey, at any price.
A good character is of ureater
value than all the wealth the world
can bestow. Integrity is the cold
of character and which endureth,
wIku all the Standard oil and the
dross of the world have passed into
oblivion.

Carnegie's Gifts of Millions.
Mr. Carnegie has given awav a
total of $16,108,000 of other peo
ple's earnings since he made up his
mind to die rich was to die disgrac
ed. However. Mr. Carnegie's ben-
factions have hardly equalled his
unearned income. He is probably
richer today than he was when he
inaugurated his lavish distribution
of the tribute wrung bv means of
the robber tariff from the American
people. Apparently he realizes the
danger of dying disgraced in spite
of the unearned wealth he has
poured out in gifts of one sort r
another, for it is stated that he is
to break all records this year, bis
bestowal of a $6,000,000 institute
building on Pittsburg marking onlv
the beginning of contemplated beu-
efactions. Mr. Carnesie seems
never to ask himself the question
mat must come in the minds of all
people. What right in morals has
he to gold he is distributee so rov-
ally ? He did not earn it. It has
come to him not in just return for
service rendered, but as a graft pure
and simple lega'ized, it is true, but
gratt none the less, as cleat ly as the
amnzing profits of Sanderson on
the capitol job. Yet we fancy that
Mr. Carnegie will be the obiect of
high laudation in many quarters iu
recognition of his generous bounty
and those receiving it will decline
to look the gift horse in the mouth.

To the Voters of Columbia County.
For years past it has been the un
written ruleVf the Democratic Par
ty to accord to its various office
holders a sscond term. This is a
good rule, it is not only a good rule
but a saving to the taxpayers of
the county. The unwritten rule
was unanimously adopted at the
Democratic Convention held June
14, loo. Dr. A. II Citterall, of
Berwick, offered the following
resolution:
Wiirrkas dissensions have here
tofore arisen in the ranks of the
Democracy of Columbia Couuty by
reason of County Officers when
having served two terms in a re
spective office according to the
custom of the rules of the party
seeking a third term. Therefore
be it resolved that it is the sense of
this convention this day assembled
that the offices of rrothouotary and
Clerk of the Courts, Register and
Recorder, Commissioners, County
Auditors, District Attorney, Asso
ciate Tudge, and all others hereto
fore considered as two term offices
be and the same are hereby desig
nated as two term offices.
According to the rules of the
Democratic Party, by Ion?; estab
lished usages, Judge Krickbaum is
entitled to a re-nomination at the
hands ol the Democratic party.
This should be accorded to him,
without opposition.
He has been a good Judge and
by reason of his five years' exper
ience on the bench he will be better
fitted to give the people of the
county a good administration iu a
second term.

Can't Keep Track of Murders.
Editor Hastings of the Milton
Standard has the following to say
concerning iNort.inuiDerland coun
ty's murder record:
"Killings are occurring so thick
and fast down in the coal regions of
Northumberland couutv that it is
difficult to keep the records straight.
The beating to death of John Barit
sky at Mt. Carmel and the shooting
of Nestico at Shamokiu, came to
close together that the Standard and
the Mt. Carmel Item got mixed up
in giving them the proper catalogue
numbers. The Standard made the
Baritsky killing number 113 and
Nestico the 114th victim, while the
Item had the numbers reversed. As
the Item is published nearer the
base of operations, the Standard
will yield to it and has reversed its
records accordingly. After the last
term of criminal court, when a red
handed murderer was acquitted (by
the jury) and two o her murder
cases were postponed until the next
term of court, the editor of this pa
per offered, to wager a new hat with
one of the judges that there would
be at least two additional murder
cases before May criminal court
convened. The time has not yet
half elapsed and there are already
three the brutal killing of the Sha
mokiu cobbler and the two noted
above. A similar epidemic of mur
der and crime followed the miscar
riage of justice in the cases of Gu
lick and Gearhart several years ago.
Nothing will check this bloody rec
ord but a few well regulated hang
ings." '
Senator F. A. Godcharles, of
Northumberland county, has made
himself solid with the miners of bis
district by the introduction of a bill
appropriating $20,000 for the con
struction and maintenance of a
hospital car, to be under the direc
tion of the State Health Depart
ment. Primarily the car is to be
used to transport injured miners to
the Miners' Hospital, near Ashland.
The hospital car could be fitted up
with operating tables, cots, medi
cine chests and all the appliances
necessary to the injured. In some
cases miners could be treated at the
car without the necessity of going
to the hospital.
