swM.p of hi veto axe prevenu.il a waste
of thousand of dolLans which a
m-klcfs legislature bad otcd away.
Among the item? in the measure which
met with hw diHappmval were 7.f00 to
joint committee to inquire into bank
failures; $M,,00 exj-ewes of Senate ap
propriation committee, visiting state in
stitution, and 10.1'50 to House appro

pose!; $.5,0(K) to finance committee, in
vestigating Philadelphia city treasury.
"No vouchers arc filed nor detailed state
ment produced of these exjenKe!?, and
they are fastened on the bill as 'riders.
This kind of expenditure has increased
from 4,OO0 in ISM 2 to $2S,5oO this
year." The (iovernor says he would
veto the item of expense for thesoldiers'
oaphans' sc hooln investigating commit
tee, and the committee to investigate
the inetiids of conducting busmen in
the state treasury, were it not for the
fact that he is not willing fuch inquiries
should le discouraged.
The Governor is undoubtedly right iu
this matter, and that the taxpayers of
the state will appreciate his action goes
without haying. He has served timely
notice that junketing expeditions at the
exjx'iise of the people will not longer lie
tolerated. These so-called investigating
eoiirmittieshave never amounted to any
thing, and the Governor has not put a
stop to them a moment too soon.
THEScranton Iteouhlutm as its name
indicates a journal devoted to the inter
ests of the Republican party has this to
say of the last legislature:
In common parlance, this legislature
has not loen a success. The majority
have disappointed their party most griev
ously and elated the oppositionllieytnd
hounds. Never liefore in the history of
this state has a Republican majority in
the legislature had such magnificent op
portunities, and in no instance that we
can recall have opportunities'been more
shamefully waste!. The Republicans in
this legislature have simply not lieen
equal to the situation that confronted
them. Much of the legislation that lias
been enacted was so badly botched that
it might lietter not have leen passed at
all.
It is tnly just in this connection to re
mark that the house has shown itself the
superior ldy of the two, and if the Sen
ate had done equally well there would
lie less for Republicans to deplore and
lie ashamed of. The Senators appear to
have been the willing victims of execra
ble outside influence to which they have
yielded to the great damage'ofthe Rep
ublican part' and the deteriment of the
interests of the commonwealth generally.
Thk assignment of Sevill Schotield,
Sn A Co., whose immense mill at Mnn
ayunk gave employment to 1800 hands,
says the Philadelphia Iff raid, furnishes
a practical tariff object lesson.
Mr. Schotield, the head of the firm,
attributes his troubles to the injurious
effects of the McKinley Tariff bill.
Stimulated by the new tariff law prices
took an upward tendency and then the
inevitable law of supply and demand
brought them back to their old level.
People recognizing that the law was a
squee in the interest of tlw manufac
turer became chary aliout buying, and
the result has been that a house which
prtispercd under .he old tariff has gone
to the wall under the McKinley bill.
With fr-e wool it is proliable that
Sohofield's immense mill, which scatters
many millions of dollars among the
working classes of Manayunk, would
to-day lie resounding with the click of
the shuttle and the rattle of the loom.
When protection shuts up American
mills and brings dist revs and suffering to
thousands of the industrial classes, it is
time to repeal a law which oppresses the
many ami favors but a few.
Oxk of the many different articles
which have lieen disastrously effected by
the McKinley tariff is wall paper. Two
of the important materials entering into
the manufacture of wall paper are bronze
powder and dextrine. No brone pow
der is made in this country, and all of
it used in the manufacture of wall
paper lias to be imported, principally
from Germany. Under the McKinley
bill the duty on this article has been in'
creased nine eent3 on the tiound. The
dextrine that is produced in the United
States is unfit to be used in manufactur
ing wall paper, and, under the McKin
ley bill, the tax on the foreign article
has lieen increased from one cent to one
and one-half cents per pound. It can
tie seen that the incaeased taxation on
these two articles will result in higher
prices charged for wall paper, at the
same time that the workingman who
lalnirs in wall "paper factories re
ceives the same wages as heretofore.
The wall paper tax is one that every one
must bear.
Rktkeskntative Wherry says the
Erie Iff mid two years ago offered a re
solution for an investigating" of Stat
Treasury methods. Speaker Boyer, who
was then slated for and was later elected
Treasurer, ruled the resolution out of
order. Mr. Wherry last i month intro
duced a similar resolution but the House
would not even consider it. The Rep
ublican leaders seem to fear that some
thing shocking would be exhibited to
view if the lid should be taken off the
State Treasury, but the rotteness is ooz
ing out through the cracks in spite of all
they can do to prevent it. The investi
gation proposed by Mr. Wherry two
years ago would probalby have saved the
state considerable money.

showed that the balance had dropped
down to little over three million dol

that the making public of these ft"
ments hould be abolirhed. If he didn't
do that because he feared the effect of
tliese statements on the public, w hat did
he do it for? The inference is very plain.
Mr. Foster knows that it is only a ques
tion of time, and a very short time at
that, before he w ill have to pay out
money which is not strictly sneaking
available, and that these daily balances
would make it plain the day it was done.
So he arbitrarily decides to have no
more statements, not withstanding the
right of the people to know at all times
the status of their finamvs: but what do
the rights of the people count for in the

It is a positive pleasure to chronicle
the fact that one of the great Uovenv
ment bureaus the Paient Office is
lieing run on sound, common-sense
business principles; but as Commission
er Mitchell is understotHl to have ten
dered Mr. Harrison Lis resignation it ls
inferable that he has found it lonesome
anil nrefers to retire. Mr. Mitchell has
made one chance that will make his ad
ministration of the Patent Office stand
out like a mountain on a plain for years
to come.
He has ruled that ex-employes of the
Patent Office, acting as agents or attor
neys, shall not be permitted to appear
in cases upon which they had acted
while employes of the Office. This is a
most righteous decision, and it ends the
career of the over-smart fellows, who
while Examiners of the Patent Office
have deliberately rejected thousands of
applications entitled to lie granted, so
that they, a little later on, as attorneys
miirht eet these inventors as clients ana
secure a fee for obtaining the patent
thus adding to the inventor's expense
and to their own nroht.

There are good reasons for believing
that Mr. Harrison and Senator tjuay
have settled upon the details of an alh
ance. offensive and defensive, and it is
said that Quay is getting ready to even

snublied him when it was thought he
was to lie an ex-boss.
Not for weeks has there been such
stream of prominent callers at the White
House as during the present week,
that something of interest has lieen go
ing on in upper Republican circles is
certain and many people lielieve that it
relates to a general re-organization of
the cabinet, but a most persistent hunt
has failed to discover any one who was
willing to father such a story.
The Suite department sent the diplo
matic corps to Chicago on a special train
yesterday, in order that its members

Director General Davis, who has been

Mr. Harrison has actually put two Dem

W beat Sprouts In a Bsj's Head.
A grain of wheat lias sprouted in the
forehead of a rive-year old boy at Balem,
X. Y. On May loth, little Thomas
Stretch, the son of Miller Reeve A.
Stretch, of Lower Alloway Creek Town
ship, was quite, seriously injured by lie
ing caught in a belt at the mill, and
would have been killed but for the
promptness of his father in stopping the
machinery. He has now almost recov
ered from the effects of the accident; but
a few days ago a dark spot was noticed
over his eye. It was carefully opened
with a lance, and was found to be a
grain of wheat which was sprouted.
The grain was probably forced under
the skin when his head struck a bin,
while he was being whirled around the
shaft.
Fighting ror a Horse Thief.
Liscols, Neb., June 17. The (iov
ernor of Nebraska and Governor of Wy

thief named Kingen. The fellow stole
a valuable horse in Wyoming. A mob
followed him over the line for the pur
pose of lynching him, but, instead, took
him back to Wyoming, where he was
sentenced th the penitentiary. Govern
or Thayer demanded of the (iovernor of
Wyoming that Kingen be immediately
returned. The. Wyoming (iovernor flat
ly refused. Thayer then declared that
he would have Kingen released if he had
to march an army of militia into that
state, (iovernor Thayer is now in Wy

New York, June 14. The reported
illness of John D. Rockefeller has caused
interest to be taken as to the amount of
his fortune. Mr. Rockefeller's family
deny that the modern Croesus is danger
ously ill, but his friends are solicitous
just the same. 1 1 is sickness has renewed
the speculation as to his immense wealth.
An old Standard Oil man and life-long
friend, who is on the inside of affairs,
pays Rockefeller is by all odds the rich
est man in America, a conservative es
timate of his money being $129,000,000,
and that he is wealthier than any of the
Vandcrbilts.
The great trouble in the Philadelphia
tangle is to tell where the money went.
If Bardsley got it aU, what did he do
with it? If he did not get it all who

N.-rrerar- of th- "iu'uoiweaai liar-
rity ha sent otUMal notification to me
County Commix-ioners ol lire various
counties, that the (iovernor has signed
the new Reentry law. Tins new taw
makes imrxrtant chances in the manner
of registering votes and among its fea
tures are: '
The Assessor is required to visit in
person each and every dwelling-house in
his election district or division, on
first Monday of May and the first Mon
day of IKceiiilierof each year, or as soon
thereafter as practicable. It ls intend
to prohibit the Assessors from taking up
the transcript or list of voters of the pre
vious assessment. .
An entirely new registration ls to be
made, lne names are 10 oe enu-nn " applied to ivistmaster lieueral visiiiatua
thelists in the order in which the dwell- J k,.rthe sCi -l Iar.ilc applicant on rec-
ing-houses are visited, and the qualified
electors in each dwelling-house are to ne
grouped tigether and entered by stre-b
alleys, or courts. The'.issessor is not to
assess any person until after caretui in-
quiry Of the voter himself, or of pome
known resident of the election district or
division.
In all cases the Assessor is obliged to
enter in his liook, opposite the name of
each voter, the name and residence of
the persona who fhall furnish informa
tion as to the residence and qualifica
tion if a.rh voter w he rfsi. The
blank lioo'ig to be furnished the Assess
ors by the County Commissioners should
1 ruled for spaces for the name, resi
dence and occupation of the voter, the
date of assessment, the name of employ
er, with whom boarding, and the address
of known residents of the election divis
ion who furnished information as to
qualifications of voters, etc., as required
by act of June M), 14
Under the act of April, 1S74, any As- j
sessor who ahall knowingly assess any '
Iierson as a voter who is not qualified, or
Ehall willfully refuse to assess any one
who is qualified, is liable to a fine not
exceeding f 1 ,000. County Commission
ers are required by law to furnish the
Assessors with the necessary books and
blanks.
The County Commissioners will have
to recall the booka sent out, as the state
authorities hold that the registration this
year must be made under the new law.
One of the provisions of the new law
cures a defect that has been very annoy
ing and that was that there was no mode of
getting a voter registered between the
fall and spring elections. Under this
new law the n-gistration in Deoemlier
will take in the names of voters qualified
for the following election.
Legal Helldajs.
The legislature at its recent ws-ion
did a good thing in the matter of fixing
the legal holidays so that it may now
lie certainly known w hich days are to be
oliserved.
The legal holidays in Pennsylvania,
made so by the new law are as follows:
1. New Year's Day, January 1st.
2. AVashington'fi birthday, February '2'2.
3. Crood Friday.
4. Memorial lay, May 30th.
f. Independence Day, July 4th.
". Christmas Iav, December 25th.
7. Ijilwr Day, first Monday iu 6ep
temlier. AH days designed by the (iovernor
or President for thanksgiving, fueling or
prayer.
V. Saturday half-holiday, from 12
o'clock noon until midnight, Iieginning
15th of June and ending loth of Sep
temlier, of each year.
It will be seen that there are nine of
them. As to their legal character the
law says, they "shall for all purjuises
whatever as reganls the presenting for
payment or acceptance, and as regards
the protesting and giving notice of the
dishonor of bills of exchange, checks,
drafts, promissory notes, made after the
passage of this act. lie treated and con
sidered as the first day of the week, com
monly called Sunday." And all "such
bills, checks, drafts and notes other
wise presentable for aceeptani-e or pay
ment on any of the said days shall be
deemed to lie ayab!e and lie presenta
ble for acceptance or payment on the
secular or business day next nieceding

It would he well for every one to make
at least a mental note of these d -ys, B
they have a value to business men es
pecially that should not be disregarded.
A Long Ride In a Bx.
Victoria, B. C, June 13. A piano
case, supposed to contain a piano, and
consigned to . A. right, ictona,
j through from Toronto some
months ago, and, a claimant not put
ting in an appearance, the case was
placed in a freight shed, awaiting an
owner. The company decided to ex
amine the piano, but when the case was
opened, instead of an instrument being
revealed, the interior was found to be
fitted up as a comfortable little apart
ment, bearing traces of having been oc
cupied by a man and woman during the
trip across the continent.
A 6tft mattress wag on the bottom of
the box, and several articles of male and
female apparel were scattered about.
The sides of the box were adorned with
hooks for clothing, and some morsels of
food were scattered around. Several air
holes in the liox and covers were fitted
with hinges so as to easy open from the
inside.
SneceBsfal fctla drafting.
Kansas City. June 14. The success
ful grafting of skin sufficient to patch up
two legs was completed here yesterday.
A year ago A. C Fulkerson stepped by
mistake into a vat of boiling grease.
The flesh of the legs from the knees
down was cooked away. The only
method of repairing the damage was by
grafting skin from other human beings
upon the injured members.
One hundred and sixty persons, Odd
Fellows and Knights of Pythias, of
which organizations Fulkerson was a
member, contributed portions of their
anatomy to be used in piecing up Mr.
Fulkerson's wounds. The grafts were
about 1,000 in number, and in the ma
jority of cases were successful. Fulker
son was out to-day, enjoying the use of
both limbs.

Weighing machines aud scales of some
kind were in use ISOO It. C, for it Is said
that A bra hi in at that time weighed out'
X sheckels of silver, current money,
with the merchant to Ephrou, the Hitti'.e.
as payment for a piece of laud, including
the cave and all the standing timber "in
the field and in th fence." This is said
to be the earliest transfer of land of which
any record survives, and that the pay
ment was made in the presence of w itness
es. While the Dearborn street bridge in
Chicago w as open on Monday morning to
allow a barge to pass, a man drove south
over the viaduct at full speed. He tried to
stop, but man, horse and buggy went over
the brink into the river. The man was
not seen again and the horse was drowned.
The police ideuliticd the horse and buggy
as belonging to a Mr. Henderson. The
theft of the rig had been reporb-d to the
police and they believe the drowned man
to be the thief.
A curiosity was discovered at Sewirkly
station, on the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad.
In the hane of an Iron chain imbeddd in
the body as a big sycamore tree. The chain,
had been originally used for tying up a
skiff. It had evidently tx-cn placed there
a number of years ago and the bark on the
opsosito side from the river cut o hold it
in position. Both the bark and wood have
long since grown over It, and the chain
now passes through the trunk, nine inches
from the surface. It is held as firmly as a
rock.
The Sunbury lhiihj states tlmt a
strange accident oecurn-d thrv on Tnrsday
of last week. A load of hay was lieing
brought from Northumlterland to Sunbury.
It was fastened with a chain aud as It was
almost through tbe bridge the chain
touched the eh'etrie road win's, making a
short current, awl In a second the hay
was on tire. The driver hurried through
the bridge aud succeeded in getting the
hay out without setting the bridge on fin,
but the hay and wagon were entirely con
sumed. Among the interesting documents
placed in the souvenir box at the corner
stone laying of Fayette county's new Court
Court House, at Uniontown, was a sketch
and picture of the oldest man w ho lives, or
ever has liv-d. In the county. Indeed, it is
doubtful if his filial in years ic2
ists In Pennsylvania, or even in the coun
try. His name is Jacob Steel, his residence
Nicholson township, Fayette county, I'a.,
and his age is one hundred and eight years.
He is as old as the cwunty itself, w hose
