The deeds of the liero with pridn to recall, And fondly indulge every nleasiint emotion; Tneii let us proclaim the Patriot's name, VV hoe lutre is bright as the Iris of fame ; While freedom anci valor to luao shall be iear. Thy natne, gallant Jackon, will Freeman rfeverfl. ()r Time's tunsty records the students may pore. Or wake from tl tir lumbers the echoes of age. To boast of the might who flourished of yore. Selecting the worthiest heroes and sages ; The worthiest few, we give them their due, Then turning, brave Jackson, in triumph to you ; In vain we solicit a wotthler name. Mote dear to the free on the autialsof fame. The heroes, the chiafs old. the commanders of Whosp names and whose zoned In storv. deed are erabla- Were doubtless intrepid and fearlef and bold. And Time's fleecy mist has hut mellowed their glory, But valor and nugt.t midst carnage and fight. Are sanctified only by justice and right. 'Tis these which give value to human ap plause, To honor the man is to honor the cause. But peace has its perils as time has disclosed; liy cout-tiess events which his pen has re corded In reace as in war was brave Jackson op posed ; By the mean and the selfish, the base and the sordid. For booty was still their wish and their will, J Hut the gallant old patriot, "vetoed the bill," ; And Jackson, the Btatemau. thus shivered the claim. Which Jackson, the hero, had severed in twain. The spirit of mammon ungratefa! and mean, For mean and ungtaleful must honesty ttrm it. This spirit still prowls round the hallowed scene, The last earthly scene of the patriot Hermit. Its pitiful spite would fondly delight To wither the laurels he bore from the fight. Because, as a statesman, he never would yield Tb rights he so bravely maintained oc the field. Then fiil to the brave, to the honest, the good, in peace and in war, he clung to his duty ; How firmly, how nobly his courage with stood, Domestic and foreign disciples of "booty," When freemen shall wave their flag o'er his srave, The bright eyes of "beauty" will weep for the brave ; And may hi? pure niautle and virtue de scend, To s'.iield his succtsBor, supporter and friend. Again and again, let us honor the men V ho achieved and defended our dear Inde pendence, First boldly proclaimed in the city of Penn, j iuis honor is due from tbeir greatful de scendants, Then here let us now most solemnly vow That freemen will never submissively bow To the fraud and injustice of corporate tanks, To the edicts of Kings or the edicts ot Banks. THE OVEKOR'J 31 ESS A WE. THE MAIW FEATURES OF AN ABLE STATE PAPER. Governor l'attison's annual message opens by warning the General Assembly against : i .. mt, rvus ot over-iegistatiou. His recom mendations chiefly suggest the modification of existing laws, with a view to the removal or abuses and the prevention of wrongs. He reviews the details of the State's rev enue and expenditures, ar.d recommends an equalization of th burdens of real and per sonal property, the former of which now pays about $30,000,000 taxes on a $1,600,000 valuation, and the latter f8,000,000 taxes on a $1,500,000,000 valuation. If there is any discrimination it should be in favor of real estate instead of against it. The Governor suggests such a change of the revenue laws a would make the corporation taxes pay all the State's expenses, and would leave to the couaties the proceeds of all other taxes on personal property. The simplest way to do this would be to select some one class of corporate property, such as paid-op capital, and assess the entire amount needed npon it. The revenues would then be certain and the corporations would be benefitted as holders or ral estate. The Onvernor recom mends that the depositors of publij money be designated by law. and that deposits with private bankers Ire prohibited. Toe Governor reports that the pardon board has beard 144 and refused 12flapplica tions since his Inauguration. In view of the eases of Inhuman treatment of the insane discovered by the lunacy committee of the board of public charities and the need for fTu,ure by that committee the Legislature is asked to appropriate a salary for the committee's clerk and to carefully consider Its report. It Is also reminded that the State's charitable institutions, now sadly overcrowded, have a prior claim for appro priations as compared with private charities. The Governor urges prompt and liberal pro vision for public charities and reminds tha Legislature of bis former vetoes of appro priations to private establishments. In view of a possible cholera visitation it is suggested that tbe Philadelphia lazaretto be removed farther from the city to Fort Del aware or Reedy island and the pilots and vessel masters be required to report to the health officer all persons boarding or leaving vessels that have entered the Delaware capes, nnder penalty of law : that the laza retto laws be revised, particularly so as to provide for the payment of the lazaretto physician and the quarantine master by sal ary, instead ot by fees. The Governor recommends the establishment of a State board of bealtb. He calls the Legislature's attention to the recommendation of the Su perintendent of public instruotlon that the school fund be distributed on tbe basis of school attendance, to be leported trlennially, and comments on tie exemplary condition of the State militia. The creation of a commission to revise the bituminous coal mining laws, similar to that appointed to revise the anthracite mining laws, Is iecommended. The Governor sug gests tbe exclusive recognition of the State board of agriculture as the head of the farm ing interest and tbe cessation of appropria tions to tbe State agricultural society, a pri vate corporation conducted foi revenue only. NEEDLESS OFFICES. The Governor recommends tbe abolition of the office of mercantile appraiser, saying : "The mercantile licenses can be assessed M A K EH FREE, AND ALL ARK SLAVR BKStl.K. and a j peals taken in the same manner and bj the same RicUi.i that a-.es the tax on waltl es, horst s, carriaces, and money at in terest. The vaiioun county assessors could and should; at the same time that they ix-t-foim their other duties, dischaiire the busi ness now transacted by the ni rcintile ap praisers. Particularly ought thl to be d. ne If the LeRlslature MiouSd adopt the sHes tion that thesn lirensei paid Into the treasuries of the various counties Hy this means a large uumher of ofti-e holders would he dispensed with, tueii salaries saved !L''L.StlUV'r coun,it ui.llor.i.liy. .oTc.r.ic oeproiHote.1 oavn.g an taxes levied by one et of officers and paid at one liuie to the county treasurer. This plan M-eius to be perfectly feasible, and its adoption would be a practical concession to the universal demand among the people for abolition of unnecessary officers aud complex governmental machinery." It is recommended that the office of Sen ate librarian and resident clerk of the house be abolished, giving to the State printer the Senate librarian's duty of shipping public documents to those entitled to them and to the commissioners of nubile, hniiriinu tio entire charge of the capito'.. The Senate j has no library worth a librarian aort th I House resident clerkship Is equally unnec essary. Believing that the moral effect of capital punishment would be greater ir it followed the offense more closely, the governor urges that the supreme court be required to hear j and act on such cases wittiin sixty days af ter th verdict giving them absolute priori ty ; that the death warrant should he issued j as soon as the supreme court afUrusjudg merit, fixing the date of execation from thir- ' ty to sixty dayss thereafter. j The Governor recommends that the secre- , laiy 01 toe commonwealth, the attorney 1 general aud the members of th general as j st mbly be paid, salaries, instead or the Tees j of the former tWD officials and the per diem I of the legisiators. The per diem system is I pronounced a scandalous failure and the congressional plan of paying legislators eve ry month is referred to with favor. poll tax abolition. Concerning the abolition of the poll tax tue message says : i leioiiinienu me pas sage of a resolution submitting to tba people lbT.'hinan amenden; l lhe C0Dstit- non aooiisning payment of tax as a qualifi- calmo for if . - .... ' ' " v ., iii rii unusu- oct-iuis. ns pracucany carried out me paying of a poll tax as a qualifici- tlou for vot ing has largely contributed to de- oaucn our politics and brine our elective system into reproach. It is a matter known of all oien that the nolitiPl r..,ti.. , I t-uuwmuie immense sums from the party treasuries to qualify electors by wholesale for partisan purposes. This system do grades the suffrage right, is dangerous to Tree institutions, aud gives the political par ties an influence ever the indigent or mdif ferent that may be used to subvert the pop ular will, and prevent the ballot box fiom record iug the unbiased choice of the people. It tends to make elections unduly expensive and gives rise to Dowerful and Hmwrmi. - w I illTA immi.i.,, m a . 1 Part organizations, hostile to healthy polit- j icai sentiment, and the main purpose of which seems to be, by assessment upon office-holders and in other ways, to raise large sums of money to control elections in the interest of parties and factious. In the abstract a money qualification for votes is an odious and undemocratic principle, at variaace with the theory of Republican government, and having a tendency to giye undue influence to wealth and divide the community upon the basis of riches and poverty. This is true whether the qualifi cation consists in the ownership of property or the payment of a tax. In point of fact, howeyer, the money qualification required by our law is do qualification at all. and keeps alive an odious discrimination without the slightest effect in limiting tbe suffrage, but giving opportunity Tor the worst evilsof corrupt partisans control to the ballot. It is preposterous to suppose that a citizen otherwise qualified for an intelligent exer cise of tbe right of suffrage is made any more so by the payment of fifty cents, or that one disqualified without such payment is habilitated with the high attributes of a sovereign elector by contributing a-half dol lar to the public treasury. I regret the end in view canuot be accomplished expedi tiously by the passaged an ordinary statute and that this relic of an age and theory in imical to free representative government re quires the slow process of a constitutional amendment for Its eradication." Tbe Governor deplores the laxity of tbe divorce lawsl six successive acts of assembly having increased the evil and given the Slate an unenviable reputation for easy di vorce. He recommends that both marriage and divorce be made more difficult ; that it De a misdemeanor for a uagistrate or cler gyman to mary a minor or other person in violation of law. and by prohibiting and an nulling the marriage of the guilty party to a' divorce case during the other party's life time ; that the jurisdiction of the State courts be limited to divorce suits in which the complainant has lived in the State two years ; that three years of malicious deser tion shall be necessary to make It valid ground, and that divorce for cruel and bar barous treatment shall be granted to wives only, on account of actual violence to tbe person. HIGH LIQUOR LICENSES, Some space is devoted to the manifold evils of Intemperance, after which tbe Gov ernor says: "The present laws upon this subject are ineffective and inadequate. I therefore recommend tbe increase of tbe eost of license to such a sum as will decrease tbe number of taverns and, If possible, weed out the enormous number of tippling places which infest the community. There ought also to be careful regulations respecting the granting of such licenses, particularly In tbe large cities, with a limitation as to tbe num ber of the population, and provisions re quiring the petition of citizens of the neigh borhood setting forth a desire for the estab lishment of such places, and tbe existence of a public necessity therefor. Discrimina tion might possibly be wise in such legisla tion between rural districts and cities. The Governor suggests legislative Inquiry into the indefinite expenses of the geological survey, revision of tbe aet of 1874 and limi tation of the powers of tbe commissioners to incur expense. Tbeir accounts should be made subject to audit, particularly their printing bills. Tbe entire State printing law should be repealed and each department limited to a certain item of its appropriation in Its printing, tbe expenditure being sub ject to the Auditor General's approvaL The Governor calls attention to the f24,070.06 bis administration bas saved in advertising during two years.

When it is considered that the section con tains the explicit command that 'the Gener al Assembly shall enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article,' and that the members have sworn to obey the Con titution, there can be no proper de fence made for the default. The wisdom of the provisions of the article is rot a question for the decision of the Legislature.

Knowing this the people, ia the exercise of their sovereign right, delib erately inserted in their fundamental law provisions restraining corporations from continuing the injustice, and commanded their representatives, under the solemn obli- I nauoii oi au oam, to enforce these provis- i j Ions. These regulations have their sane ! , tlon in abstract Jjstice, and in principles of i Jurisprudence. iaw mat are now graved ineffaceiihle in oni- i iicy require Corporations i a. .

These principles are every j me particularly desirous, aside from the lo j day becoming moie and more imbedded in j gal command, that apportionments should j the law, and are receiving the sanction of be made at the last session was the fact that I judicial tribunals whenever brought before j the two houses were then divided in politi ! them for decision. They are no longer dis- i cal opinion. Such a condition I believed to putable questions, but in the contest be-! tween tne power of monopoly and the peo ple they have been settled, as all foresaw they must nltimately be settled, in favor of the people, and they have now the axiomatic force of t be principles of the Bills of Rights. What excuse can be made, then, for the persistent and USLAWTCL REFUSAL OF THE LEGISLATURE to enforce these principles as expressed in tbe Constitution ? Until the last session there had not bten even an attempt to give due effect to the law, and the sincere effort then made by some to bring tbe railroads to justice were defeated by an abortive and mocking statute that could scarcely have been more favorable to the corporations and Inimical to the people had it been expressly intended to defeat tbe enforcement of the Constitution. Under pretense or purflshing discrimination, it introduced descriptions and conditions into the definition of the of fence that make it almost Impossible for any action to be brought under the statute. Such conditions are not contained in the 17th article of the Constitution, and the Legis lature has no right to interpolate them in an act intended to earry that instrument into effect. Under the act of 1883, discrimina tion to be sectional, must be for a like ser vice, under similar circumstances, upon like conditions, and in transportation from the same place i and, unless all these conditions exist, no remedy or punishment is provided. How vain and mocking is such an enact ment, and bow rarely if ever, could sncb identity of facts exist as to support this statute. The Constitution requires no such similarities and likness in circumstances, kind of service, conditions and identity of place, to constitute discrimination : and to Incorporate these into laws is worse than no legislation at all, as it is a sort of legislative construction of the Constitution that such conditions are requisite. All that is neces sary to be done to enforce the 17lh article is to exact penalties for a violation of tha pro visions of the 3d, 4th, 5th. 6th, 7tb and 8th sections, aud to require publication by the roads of their rates of freight, by posting or otherwise. The sections referred are, I be lieve, sufficiently explicit to serve the pui pose of a statute ; but certainly any chan ges made in them should not be by "incorpo rating into them conditions that rob them of tbeir vitality. Let at least a trial be made of an enactment of the clear letter of the Constitution, and provide adequate reme dies for a violation thereof, that it may be ascertained whether the people are able to enforce their supieme will through the me dium of their courts of Justice. All legis lation on this subject should also provide for tbe publication of freight rates and tolls, as otherwise unlawful charges will be difficult of proof. There is no reason why those public corporations SHOULD NOT TRANSACT THEIR BUSINESS PUBLICLY. It is always a suspicious omen when the executors of a trust want to keep their ac tions secret from the lawful beneficiaries of postage per year. In .avarice. XUMI5KK 51. the trust.

Some Elephant Stories. Major Rogers had been out shooting, and bad discharged all tis guns, when an elephant made a charge at bim from tbe skirts of the jungle. There was no help fot bim except to run, and for 400 yards the Major kept Just ahead, feeling at every step just as if the trunk was trying to twist itself about his loins. A turn around a tree gave him a momentary advantage, which be made tbe most of. by jumping into tbe branches; but before he had time to draw up bis legs, the elephant bad got him with bis proboscis. Still Rog ers pulled against bim, thinking it was bet ter to have bis leg wrenched from the sock et tban to fall back bodily into tbe animal's power. The struggle did not last long, for, to the delight of the pursued and tbe cha grin of the pursuer, the Wellington boots, which the former wore, slipped off, released the leg and saved tbe life of poor Rogers. The dilemma, however, did not end here ; for tbe elephant, finding bimself balked of bis prey, after destroying the boot, took up bis quarters beneath the branches snd kept his anticipated victim in the tree for twenty-Tour hours, when the country postman happened to pass by. Rogers gave him no tice of his position, and soon help eame, and tbe elephant was frightened away by tom toms and yelling. ITad this occurred in the deserted part of the jungle, the officer mud have been starved to death In the tree. Tbe native Hindoo from want of thought keeps up a constant drumming on the head with the goad, or "ankus." I, there fore, hoped not to use it at all.

He seized the boughs above his bead, and, tugging violently with tbem, brought them down on my devoted skull. This was too much. I raised tbe an kus and brought it dewn on his bead with a ) blow that brought blood through tbe skin. This bad tbe desired effect, and be at once bundled off along the road by which he knew I wanted to go. He merely took with bim a branch about the size of a small apple tree to discuss as we went along.

There is a fable among the Hindoo that a thief, having been detected and condemn ed to die, sent for his jailor and told bira be had a secret of great importance which h desired to impart to the klug, and when that had been rtone he would be prepared to meet his doom. Upon receiving this intelligence the king ordered the culprit to be conducted to bis presence. The thief explained that he knew the se cret of causing trees to grow which would bear fruit of pure gold. The experiment mlht be easily tried, and hi Majesty would not lose the opportunity; so, accompanied by his Prime Minister, fcis courtiers, and bis chief priest, be went with the thief to spot selected Dear the city hall where the latter performed a series of sol emn incantations. This done, the condemned man produced j a piece of gold, and declared that If It I fchould be planted it would produce a trV every branch of which would bear Rold. "But," he added, "this must be put into the ground by a hand that has never bean sUiued by a dishonest act. My band Is not clean, therefore I pass it to your Majesty." The king took the piece of Rold, but hesi tated. Finally, he said, "I remember In my younger days that I have filched money from my father's treasury which was not uiiue. 1 have repented of the ain, but yet. I can hardly say my hand is clean. I pass it, therefore, to my Prime Minister." The latter after a brief consultation an swered : "It were pity to break the charm through a possible blunder. I receive taxes from the people, and I am opposed to many temp tations, how can I be cure that I hare been perfectly honest ? I must Rive it to the Gov ernor of our citadel."
