Wll 'mT BOLTEHS Their Reckless Tactics Have Com pletely Blocked Legislation. ONLY ONE IBILL PASSED. Tlio People Demand That Factional Fight log stall Cease, and Heal Ite foriners Are Distrusted at tile I'roinl nenee Given .Men Like Martin. Fllnn and the Van Valkenbergs. 'Special Correspondence.) Harrisburg, Feb. 21. —But one bill passed and the legislature in session for nearly two months. This scandalous record of wanton ex travagance has not been equalled in the history of Pennsylvania. There is a general clamor all over the common wealth for the legislators to drop fac tional fighting and get down to the transaction of public business, for which they are being paid by the peo ple. The enormous figures for salaries of the members and employes of the general assembly, cost of heating and lighting the eapitol building, and the other items that goto make up the gen eral expense account of the legislature," are rapidly depleting the state money, with no substantial results in pros pective for the taxpayers. The sena torial deadlock continues without a single desertion from the ranks of the regular Republicans since they met in party caucus and named Hon. Mat thew Stanley Quay as the Republican candidate for United States senator. The 52 Republican bolters who have set themselves up as empowered to speak for the Republican party as against the 113 stalwarts who have been standing loyally by the party nominee, have been resorting to the most daring and reck less schemes of filibustering, obstruct ing the progress of legislation and tend ing to disrupt the Republican organi zation in every section of the common wealth. They have been working hand and glove with a wing of the Democ racy which has up to date shown com plete subserviency to these two bosses. "Dave" Martin, of Philadelphia, and "Hill" Flinn, of Pittsburg, who have un dertaken to lead the so-called reform movement against the candidate of the Republican party. They are acting as though absolutely unmindful of the interests of the people or of their sworn obligations to pro tect and guard the welfare of the state. The tactics resorted to by these bolt ers to prevent the passage of the Mc- Oarrell jury reform bill have complete ly clogged the wheels of legislation and prevented the consideration of many measures requiring immediate atten tion. Without taking into consideration the loss of time fir the cost of their action to the state, these bolters, in order to gain a temporary advantage, have been carrying motions to adjourn from day today in the house, thus cut ting off debate on bills of vital impor tance and in most cases preventing their contents from even being brought to the notice of the members. There is a demand from officials of the treasury department for the enactment of laws which will at once divert funds to meet the requirements of the schools, hos pitals and other institutions which re ceive financial support from the state. There will be a deficit in the state treasury if something is not done at once to raise revenue. Less than a year ago there were $3,000,000 at the com mand of the state treasurer for the needs of the commonwealth. This sum iias been reduced to less than $1,000,000, and there is a continuous drain upon these funds for current expenses, rhrough the machinations of the Mar tin-Flinn-Wanamaker members in the hous", there has been no opportunity to seriously consider a single one of the l-everal propositions to raise revenue to rover the usual appropriations made by tile sta'.-!. There is a suspicion in cer tain quarters that some of the big cor porations, railroads and others, fear that the plan to increase the taxation on corporations might be carried out and that they have their agents se cretly encouraging certain of the Re publican bolters to keep up the fight against Senator Quay, in order that no bills raising the tax on corporations riay have a chance to pass this legis lature. Something will have to be done soon, and from the protests that are coming here dally against the action . of the bolters, public sentiment may yet drive these freebooters into line with their party, stop this awful drain upon the state funds and maintain the credit and honor of Pennsylvania. REAL REFORMERS DISGUSTED. Sincere reformers like Herbert Welsh and others, who take an interest in public affairs for the good of the state, have no sympathy with the men nor the methods of the leaders of the fight against Senator Quay. Though, as an independent of the most radical type. Mr. Welsh naturally says he still hopes for the defeat of Senator Quay, yet he holds that if this is to be accomplished by bribery and corruption, he cannot see "that the cause of good govern ment will profit much thereby." In hi., paper, The City and State, Mr. Welsh calls attention to the scandalous charges of bribery and corruption made against the anti-Quay leaders in the re cent Lebanon county fight. He calls at tention to Senator Quay's reward of SIO,OOO for the discovery of evidence of bribery in this contest and intimates that part of Mr. Quay's money might be fairly earned. Mr. Welsh rises to in quire why John Wanamaker does not exert his moral influence to prevent oc casion for such scandals, and why h - permits a struggle, ostensibly for hon est government, to be conducted by men of the type of the VanValken bergs. VNCLE JOE" STISLEY. The advent of "TTnele .Toe" Sibley, the untrammeled leader of the Democracy of the northwest, has created a stir In the xiolitieal world. Siblev came out in a long statement to the public in which he clearly set forth his views on the United State.: senatorshlp. He favors the election of a Democrat to the United States sen ate. and says that if the bolting Re publicans will not take Jenks they should be given an opportunity to vote j for some other good Democrat. If they fail to do this, they must take the con sequences. He doubts the sincerity of the Martin-Flinn crowd and takes them to task for the manner in which the Wanamaker press bureau has been maligning Democrats who have the courage to think and act for them selves. "The Democracy of Pennsylvania," says Mr. Sibley, "for years have pro claimed their loyal purpose, If granted the power, to purify methods and prac tices which have brought blight on the fair fame of the commonwealth. There have been elected and sent as repre sentatives of Pennsylvania Democracy ?7 members of the Pennsylvania legis lature. At their homes these people bear exalted reputations for high char acter. capacity and honesty. Their neighbors, friends and families have trusted them to come to Harrisburg ?ind maintain their virtue and their honor unsullied. It is a notorious fact, however, that Democratic meml>ers of the legislature have been dogged by spies, that tiirhl and day they have been the subjects of espionage. Demo cratic members may differ the one from tie- other, but the inuendoes and Insults heaped upon those who attempt to reflect 11 i will of their constituents and perform their duties is an insult not alone to the Democratic member ship of til-- legislature, but an insult to the entile Democracy of the com monwealth. to which we should not submit without protest. Through the assaults of corrupted press the dog ging of members' footsteps by night and day by paid detectives and hire] spies wiitlng letters to members' wives ami families threatening to visit their indignation, not alone upon the of fending Democrat, but threatening to carry their concentrated venom to the punishment of their wives and chil dren tlirouyh the generations yet to come, this i - the condition of affairs ex isting today in llarrisburg. This is a condition against which honest Democ racy revolts, and against which, for me, 1 shall not cease my best efforts ,o correct." Use DR.
