'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."
