. wwifyyi 'I EDCNSBUnC. PA.. FRIDAY, - - JANUARY -29, 1886. Ur to the adjournment of the House no Friday last, five thousand eight hun dred bills had ittcn introduced in both branches of (.'otigres?. In this moun tain of chaff how many crains of wlie-at wil! be found ? The decoration of the Order of Christ which the Pope recently sent to Bis marck, the German Chancellor, is de scribed as a finely worked cross several Inches long, with a large pure diamond in the centre and smaller diamonds ra diating from it. "Old Allen G. Thorman," says the Milwaukee Sentinel, "decided against the rich coal mine owner? of Ohio in favor'of the miners, and not a man charges him with being a demagogue or with catering to the workingmen. And old Allen G. Thurmau'o immunity from suspicion comes from the fact that an audeviating devotion to honesty, justice and right hes placed him above suspi cion." When a Republican newspaper re fers to John A. Ixjgan as "the greatest man Illinois ever Bent to take part In the national councils," its editor seems not to have known that Abraham Lin coln, Stephen A. Douglass, Lyman Trnmbull and David Davis ali served in Congress from that State, and that the three last named were leading and tlljtinguiF-lud members of the Senate of the United States. Compared with either of these four Illinois Congress men Logan sinks into conspicuous in significance. Ok Ireland, the Queen in her speech mt the opening of Parliament, which was written by Lord Salisbury, her Tory Prime Minister, said : "I have seen with deep sorrow the renewal, since I Ja3t addressed you, of the at tempt to excite the people of Ireland to hostility against the legislative nnion between that country and Great Britain. I am resolutely opposed to any disturb ance of that fundamental law, and in resisting it I am convinced that I shall be heartily supported by my Parliament and my people." None of the milk of human kindness runs in her veins not a word of sjmpathy for poor, oppressed Iieland escapes her lips, but on the con trary her coercive policy proclaims that "vengeance is mine aod I will repay." It isn't a matter of any imporiance now whai Mahone thinks of the future politics of Virginia or of anywhere else. He has sufficiently recovered, however, from his crushing defeat !n November to stand npon his legs once more and predict that Virginia is as certain to cast her electoral vote in the next Presiden tial contest for the Republican candi date as any one of the Northern Repub lican States, and that the Old Dominion can be counted on by at least twenty thousand majority. This is somewhat cheeky even for Mahone, when it is re membered that he claimed the election of Wise, his candididate for Governor, over Fltzhugh Lee by the same twenty thousand, and was only mistaken thirty six thousand, since Lee's majority whs boot sixteen thousand. Mahone had better quit playing the political prophet, or if be will stubbornly insist on dis counting the fntnre, let him go or and accept the fate of that prophetess of old whose penalty It was never to be be lieved. A most humiliating and disgracefnl scene occurred in the lower branch of the New York Legislature at the cloie of the session on last Wednesday week. The moment the Speaker declared the noose adjourned, the Chief Clerk in stentorian voice made the following proclamation : "I have a package of passes here for the members of the nonse, who will please come np nd get them." ne tta-o proceeded to call out the members names and while most of the o!d members who were dumbfound ed at the strange spectacle remained in their seats, the new members made a rush for the Clerk's desk, and each one proudly and exnltingly took his free pass over one of the ieading railroads in the State whose President had gener ouily furnished them to the Clerk. This free pass disliioution is done dif ferently, we believe, in this State, the handy documents being matled to the members elect before they start for Harrisburg, which enables them to ride free, and then at the end of the session charge the State mileage at the rate of twenty cents per mile going to and re turning from the State Capital. It is susceptible of proof amounting to a demonstration, that the furnishing of free passes to the members of the Leg islature of this State prolongs every ses sion at least thirty days, and therefore costs the tax payers not less than one hundred thousand dollars. The Commission consisting of certain members of the Senate and House of this State, appointed at the session of the Legislature last year to compute and publish the returns of the election for State Treasurer, met in the Senate Chamber at narrisburg, on last Wed nesday week. The time occupied in discharging their duties was but a few hours, as the whole work was done by three clerks chosen by the Commission. Governor Pattison acted as President of the Commission and the committee on expenses made a report allowing pay to each member, ranging from $52.35 to Altmon, of Jefferson county, to $30.54 to Eckles, of Cumberland county. Got. Pattison, who was allowed $30, refused to accept a single penny, and so did Crawford, of Philadelphia, while Senator Kennedy, of the same city, took only $15 of the $36.46 allotted to him. Each of the three clerks was paid $25. This Is one of tbe ways of swindling the State Treasury aod is simply a repeti tion of what was done by a similar com mission two years ago. We wonJd like U see tbe items composing the different sams allowed the Commission. Only r It a member of the Legislator the chance, and if be don't make a nice thing out of it. he baa entirely forgotten bis education at Harrisburg and hold ebtablitbed precedents In otter con-trtrpi.. The Republican majority in the lower branch of the Obio Legislature having successfully gone through the perform ance of summarily ejecting nine Penio erstic members from Hamilton county and ibstalling their nine defeated Re publican opponents in their stead, and all this without any investigation into the queslion of fraud at the flection, the Republican ruhmrit'j in the Senate of that State are now trying by the foulest methods that ever disgraced a deliberative body, to turn out of their seats the four Democratic Senators from Cincinnati and swear in tne four de feated Republican candidates. The Senate stands twenty Democrats to sev enteen Republicans, a Democratic ma jority ot three. If four Democrats could be kicked out by the passage of a mere resolution to that effect, as the Republican minority wiih the aid and assistance of the Republican Lieuten ant Governor have been trving to do for several days, the Senate would then stand 21 Republicans to 10 Democrats. The four Democrats are occupying their seats by virtue of regular certificates of election. Their places are contested by four Republicans, and at the beginning of the sessfon, three weeks ago, the whole matter was referred to the proper committee in conformity with practice and precedent. The Democrats invite and demand a full, fair investigation, and the four Democratic Senators from Cincinnati are especially emphatic in their declaration that they do not want their seats, if it shall be found that they were not honestly elected. The Re publicans want to take the matter out of the bands of the committee, and the heretofore unheard of ruling of the Lieutenant Governor that 17 members, two less than a quorum of 37, which is 19, can dispose ot the job, has caused the twenty Democrats to withdraw from the Senate and leave the 17 Republican members powerless to do a siniJe legis lative act. If the Lieutenant Governor of Ohio can accomplish his base, parti san purpose, popular elections are a miserable cheat, worse than a farce. He can't do it. however, for the Consti tution of Ohio and the rules of the Sen ate of that State, like those of every other State, plainly and emphatically forbid the consummation of the outrage. In the meantime Ohio is without a legal Senate and will continue in that condi tion until a little common sense is in jected into the mulish head of her Lieutenant Governor, or a compromise ia effected by which the right to the four disputed seats can be fairlv and legally disposed of. In another column we publish a speech delivered by Governor Pattisen to a large meeting of farmers and busi ness men at Lock Haven on yesterday week. The meeting was held under the auspices of the Farmer's Institute of Clinton county. What Gov. Patti son says in this address is substantially a repetition in very emphatic language of what he has said to the Legislature in his annual messages. Got. Pattison believes that the men who framed the New Constitution and the people who adopted it by a majority of I.jO.000, meant that it should be promptly and rigidly enforced. The Governor be lieves primarily and especially, and has always so maintained, that the Seven teenth Article of the Constitution In re lation to railroads and their duties to the public, should be enforced by appro priate legislation, and it is to that im portant question toat he ra .inly con fines himself in his address. His lan guage is strong and exceptionally vigor ous because he feels earnestly the vast public importance of the subject matter he discusses. It is twelve years since the New Constitution went into effect, and yet to this day the Seventeenth Ar ticle is praotlcally a dead letter. It will remain in that morbid condition indefi nitely, unless the people breathe life into it by sending men to the Legisla ture who can neither be bought with money nor awed by threats from the performance of a plain duty. Wheh a man is charged with a crim inal offense it is little less than a con fession of guilt if he refuses to face a trial, and attempts through his counsel to qnash the indictment on a mere technical plea. This was done in the Dauphia County Court last week by Dr. Buttermore, an ex-member of the Legislature from Fayette county, who was indicted along with two others for attempting to defraud the State out of $12,o00, the amount appropriated by the Legislature at the session of 1883 through the efforts of Dr. Bnttermore. to erect a miners' hospital at Connella ville. It is charged that when Dr. Buttermore and his co-defendants got the money out of the State treasury they committed a fraud npon the Com monwealth. Whether they did so or not we don't pretend to determine, but the case looked bad from the beginning, and Dr. Buttermore has only made it appear worse through his counsel's un successful attempt toquash the indict merit on a technicality. When the case comes np again in April we trest that Dr. Buttermore, who has hitherto borne a good character will be able to explain the matter to the entire satisfaction of the Court and jury. TnE times are out of joint when John F. Hartranft is not the incumbent of an office. Nearly twenty years ago he became Auditor General, and remained continuo nsly in office nntll a short time ago, when President Cleveland suspended him as Collector of the Port of Philadelphia and appointed a Demo crat to take bis place. It was thought that this would close Hartranft 's career as an office holder, but it didn't, for one day last week the Republicans in tbe United States Senate, apparently be HeTing that tbe country couldn't get along without Hartranft in office, passed a bill making him a Director of the Na tional Solders' Home to fill the vacancy caused by the death of General M-fTt.i.

Lock Haves, January, 21. Governor Pattison spoke on the evil? ot railroad discrimination in mis city iramzed camta!

But for discrimi nation the S:and.rd Oil Company would Tint. Iia in PYiqfpnpfl tii-rtatt Wa nho.ll i estimate the widespread evil this single j creature of discrimination has caused.

Those great beds of an- thiicite coal which seem to have been reserved to make Philadelphia one of tbe chief industrial and manufacturing marts of the world, have, through dis crimination, been made to burden ber citizens and retard her development. Discrimination has built up here and there throughout the State and country, along the lines of railroads, lmpulous towns that are the seats of enormous iron, steel and other works. that hai I . pnrichnl tlipir owners mwl inf prpatfil railroad Hlicials, but have peopled those ciiies with a mass of dependent Jaliorvrs who live from band to mouth, who are thrown out of woik at the wi!i of their employers, and who can hope for noth ing but the merest necessaries of life in their existing social condition. Rail road discrimination has given the New Kepublic a line of princely railroad na bobs and lords of the soil with fortunes that out rank royalty and domains of vir gin soil ihat exceed in area a German State. But it has given us, too, in little more than a generation, a mass of rest less, discontented laborers, often eating the Lree.d of idleness and clamoring for concessions rrom a few great employers. It lias reduced the numoer of owners of farms until it is a million less than the tenant farmers, aud everywhere It has tended toceutralize wealth and increase the ranks of dependent labor. Ii may be said that many of these evils resulted from other causes than diseiimination and that it alone should not be charged with faults that are the outgrowth of many causes. This, however, is taking but a superficial view of the subject. My position is that had rai!ro..i corpo rations acted as the just public trustees, which in law they are, and not as pri vate business enterprises managed by sellish speculators had they used their franchises fairly, justly and impartially had they confined themselves to their duties as common carriers bad they obeyed the laws and not corrupted legislatures, judges aud Executives to enable them to defy the laws the greater part of the evils that I have enumerated would not now exist. It Is unnecessary, however, at this day to prove that discrimination is an evil That it is is admitted by everyone but tLose who profit by it. The ques tion is as to what is the proper remedy. The number of those who defend or excuse it is so small as to be unworthy of consideration. The times are ripe for redress and correction. But what will work the redress what will cor rect the evil ? There are those who say that the true remedy is more railroads Competition, they say, will put a stop to monopoly ; therefore give us more rail roads. This argament, applied to rail road Injustice, has recently ia this State been put to a severe lest. In the hope that by tbe application of this doctrine Pennsylvania might get some relief from the monopoly ot her great trunk line and its combined injustice, I was induced in 1883 to sign the bills which made possible the construction of the South Pennsylvania railroad, which it was said would give our citizens another Western and seaboard outlaw. j par tial result of the experiment is known to the world to-day. The people of our southern tier of counties particularly have learned a bitter disappointment the hollowness of tht promises of organ ized capital to redress the wrongs of another organized capital. The South Pennsylvania railroad it to-day claimed as the property of the corporation of which it was projected to be a rival. Against law and justice, in the face of pliehted faith and popular protest, an effort was made to sell it out ia order to strengthen and establish the power for evil of the vast corporation that had so far proved itself stronger than the courts or the Executive, Constitutions or the people. It will soon be ascer tained wnetner us lawless supremacy is to be perpetual. The opinions of the Danphin County Court recently filed In the railroad cases are full of encourage ment to the people if they do but ap preciate them. I am convinced, after long reflection that there is only one sure remedy for the people of Pennsylvania, and that is to enforce the laws of the State by penal statutes. It must be made a crime, punishable by the imprisonment for railroad officials to break the law. Since all other efforts have failed I am now for trying the efficacy of the prison law. there is no trouble at all about tbel laws so rar as they declare tbe duties of the people and the railroads. The seven teenth article of the Constitution needs no addition or amendment. It is suffi cient in all its parts to correct every evil of railroads from which the people now suffer. If it be enforced. It is just, true, lawf nl. It is legally and equitably sound in eTery member. It simply needs honest legislators to pass the laws to enforce it, and pure judges to inter pret those laws. Let tbe next Legisla ture simply pass a statute making it a penal offense, punishable with imprison ment, to violate the provisions or the seventeenth article, and let a jury of nonest men pass upon tne ract whether that article has been violated nnder the Instruction of nnsobsidized judges, and from that day we will have law-obedient railroad corporations in Pennsylvania. It is useless to listen to tbe sophistry of paid railroad attorneys, either in the Legislature or out of it, about the diffi culty of drafting a penal statue based upon the seventeenth article. There is scarcely a section of that article that is not sufficiently descriptive for a penal statute. Leave it to a jury to say whether the South Pennsylvania and Pennsyvania railroads were parallel and competing lines, and twelve honest men would convict the conspirators who concocted the "sell out" without leaving the box, and an upright judge would send them to the penitentiary before court ad- ' ATter dwel.ing at some leneth upon the of them, and leave the rest to a jury and !

THE MAS WHO M-.VER RLL'SHKIl. Senator Jo!n Sherman, when address ing the Ohio Legislature the other day, was kind enough to apeaR well of tlie New York election laws as safeguards against fraudulent voting. He held up the New York system as an example for Ohio to imitate. The purity ef the bal lot, he thinks, is not sufficiently protect ed in Ohio : "The time has arrived when both political parties should address themselves to this questions. In State affairs you should be patriotic, regardless of political affiliations, and regard this question from the same standpoint. It is apparent that there oneht w (jrnriii revision or ine election laws. The purity of the ballot Is dependent upon single districts and small voting precincts. The occurrences which have happened re cently shonld convince men of ali political opinions that a radical change shonld be made." This plea for honest voting, for the purity of the ballot, for additional safe guards against fraud in elections, sounds strange enough from the lips of tbe statesman who was the chief promoter in Louisiana of the fraud by which the vote of that State was stolen ten years ago, and who received as his pay tne of fice of Secretary of the Treasury. But Sherman did not blush. Tbeu the unblushing statesman went on to compliment the man whom he helped to defraud : "I invite your attention to the example set by the ereat State of New York. In that State, in 1868. great frauds were perpe trated by a man whose name will be repudi ated by any party Bois Tweed. Then it was that mer. of both political parties went to work and reformed thi-ir election laws. 11 11 "aa notneen none civil war would have inevitable. Men of both parties re- solved upon reformation, and it resulted in Hie best election law in th world. In the dispute, last fall, over the election, thev awaited the official vote, and the matter was ended. One of the most distinguished men to bring about this reform was Samuel J. Tllden, and 1 am glad to speak of It here." At this point the Ohio legislators burst into applause. Perhaps it wa? the name of Tilden that provoked the dem onstration. Perhaps it was the state ment that elections are purer in New York than in Ohio or Louisiana, for example. Perhaps it was the consum mate audacity which enabled John Sherman to keep his blood in his heels while awakening memories shameful enough to have made a cucumber turn crimson. He never blushed. Did any man or woman living ever see the color of conscious guilt come into John Sherman's cheeks. A". Y Sun, 20th. St. Patrick's Cathedral, Sew Yerk. New York, Jan. 13, 18Sf. I wandered into St. Patrick's Cathe dral on Fifth avenue, the grandest church edifice in America, just at twi light the other day. A brace of men were engaged in changing a block of granite from the quarry condition to the symmetrical proportions requisite to niche into one of the tall, graceful pillars of the nave, and the scene was indeed a wierd one. The massive edi fice is constructed of white marble, and is free from heaviness or over-ornamentation. The interior is as fine as the exterior of the great edifice, the ceiling being seventy seven feet from the floor. The building is lighted by seventy windows, thirty-seven of which are memorial windows made in France, costing 5100,000. The total cost of the Cathedral up the present time has been a little over f 2.000.000, and it is estima ted that half a million more will be ne cessary to complete it. The exterior of the church is yet to be richly ornament ed with statues, and two towers are to be built at the Fifth avenue front. They will be 323 feet from the ground, each bearing an immense cross. That purest specimen of Gothic architecture in the United States, Trinity church, on lower Broadway, with its stately and beautiful proportions, built of rich blown stone from base to summit of spire, had always been tbe grandest ed ifice visited in the New World by tour ist and critical traveler, but St. Pat rick's Cathedral will ultimately be the yojsouiucauon or grandeur when the two tall spires are surmounting great anditorlnm. tbe An End to Ron Nraplng-- Edward Shepherd, of Hartlsburg, III , says : "Having received so much benefit from Electric Hitters, I feel it my duty to let suffering humanity know it.
