To day Senator Merdith. of Arm strong, chairman of the Coal Miners In- votigating committee, turned up and hail a talk with the governor who told .urn to put his statement in writing Meredith says his bill is all right. Sen ator II nines if York, who was on M-ri.lt:.'s committee, told the governor his bill was proper, but the governor told hiiu to pat it in writing. Thk amended U.

If the uron- t rty has Utn purchased entirely with ;h nsion money, then the property will U- exempted. If, however, it has only bi en partly paid for by such moneys then the owner will be assessed the re maining value. No property except that occupied by the pensioner himself, by his wife or by his widow, will lie exempt from taxation. Projerty paid for by jiensiou money will not lie exempt from taxation for local purposes or the con struction or maintenance of streets and highways, but shall 1? exempted from state, county or general municipal tax ation. Thk alien tax law passed at the re cent session of the Legislature has been Kttacked in the I'nited states court. A bill iu equity was tiled last week in the Pnittl S'ates district court, Titteburg, in which it claimed that the act is not only unconstitutional, but is a violation of the treaties lietween the United States and tireat P.ntain. The plaintiff is John Frazer. a subject of the queen of Great liritain, ud the dtfendant is the Mc C in way A Toriey company, by whom Fra.r is employed. I'raer claims that his employers de ducted three cents a day f rom his wages List week in itceordauce with the new law, and his attorney now asks the court to adj-i ie ths law unconstitutional, in-a.-niuoh as it is contrary to the four teenth amendment of the constitution of the United States; is in opposition to the treaties with Great Britain and oth t countries and is in violation of the civil rights act a pabsed by congress in JS70. u:.

The sucar schedule as it left the noil? ave the sugar trust only what it wanted. The t-enate, when it took the measure, j i found in it great opportunity for specu- ouiiuia ugr ii , , lationand immediately began to ma- nipulate the house figures for private ... 1 1 - profit. Thejproht was secured, anu as a matter of course the imposts provided oy L .i i r.f ih the senate before Hnal parage of the bill could not be departed from on hnal passage. The bill passed the senate con taining the speculative tariff figures. The senate conferees complained that I Reed prevented the hou.se conferees ; from - j.rruolnir r the senate lniDOStS. If the v senate nau oeen uoui m ing it would have adhered to its amend ments and throwu the onus Of delay of agreement uuon Reed. Instead, they abandoned their amendments after only a short delay. This creates the impres sion that the bouse is jealous of the rights of the people, will not permit them to be robbed and, by the patriot ism of the house aud the accomnioda tion of the senate the sugar trust is de privet! of everything except the smallest possible protection.

But they are there It is a great victory for Reed, indeed: The most significant utterance in the tariff debate so far was that of heuator Mills when he said, "I come to speak for the forgotton man th? taxpayer from whose labor and sweat this vast fund is to be wrung by legislative ra pine for distribution among favored beneficiaries." It is high time some one interrupted the tariff grablers to call attention to 1 -the forgotten man me taxpayer, i whose pockets the tariff barons are so I eagerly struggling to get, says the M Louis '(-'itititi. "The forgotten man" is grimly looking on, conscious that he will have to furnish every dol lar demanded by these un-American vampires to add to their ill-gotten hoards. Ii.it tariff plunderers and their agents iu the senate will" do well to bear in mind that "the forgotten man" is not dead or helpless simply because he is forgotten. He has been extremely pa tient under the burdens heaped upon him for the benefit of others, but there is a limit to his patience. He was very patient in France during the first two thirds of the eighteenth century When at last he decided that patience hail ceased to be a virtue, the throne crumbled, the "nobles" were sent into exile, church property was "sequester ed" for the benefit of the community and the gutters around the Palace de la Concorde ran with blood. "The forgot ten mau" had asserted himself. In all ages the man who is so apt"to be forgotten when taxes are being im posed is a very dangerous man when he concludes that the time has come to force himself into recognition by the powers that be R G Di-xs A.

When a neighlxr climbed into the bathroom he found the woman dead on the bottom of the tub. There was not an inch of water in the tub and Mrs. Simmerman had evidently laid down with her mouth to the spigot and turned on tbe water. She was 32 years old and was released from the Nor ris town Insane asylum a few weeks ago. She was recovering rapidly until. last week when it is said, domestic diili culty induced a relapse. 1 3OILa)TEILV PURE naiiiuiriii l.etlrr. Washington, July 10, 1S'.7. An other disgraceful chapter in the dis graceful history of congressional sugar scandals was written this week. The thoroughly up-to-date brigandd do not rob individuals upon the public highway; Thev stand in with those who coutrol ; the making of a new tariff bill and ulil- j ize their advance information to make ' fortunes by speculating in the stock . market. liy giving it out that tbe tariff ' conferene committee had agreed to a 1 compromise sugar schedule that was more favorable to tbe sugar trust than the Dingley schedule sugar ' stock ws pushed up Bufilcieutly high to make thousands of dollars tor tnose wno bought before the rise and sold at the highest pomt, and there are good rea sons for the belief that members of both branches of congress were among those who did so. A prominent Republican was asked when the tariff bill would get out of con ference, and he replied disgustedly : When its schedules can no longer he profitably worked on the stock market " It is remarkable how often the asser tion is heard that the conference i9 be- ng purposely prolonged for speculative purposes. Jerry Simpson bad to smile when his resolution for the appointment of a se lect committee of five to investigate the sugar trust and its relations to congres sional legislation was r ferred to the ju diciary committee of the house, which has not been appointed yet. Probably the major'ty of the senate committee on foreign relations seek to ease their consciences by such "hot- Stuff" as the report made this week on the resolution directing the president to demand the release of three Americans who are in Cuban prisons, having lieen captured on the steamer Comietitor. They know the house will not act on it. Senator Tillman never loses an opiior- tunity to remind the country of the con tempt he feels for the lemocracy of ex- President Cleveland. The latest occur red during the debate which resulted in the insertion by the senate of a clause in the general deficiency appropriation bill limiting the cost ot armor plate for naval vessels to $300 a ton. Senator Tillman referred to the remitting of a fine that was imposed upon the Carnegie Steel Co., by the secretary of the navy. for furnishing bad armor, by the presi dent, when he was interrupted by Sena tor Allen who remarked: "And it was a Democratic president who remitted that fine." Mr. Tillman turned to the gentleman from Nebraska ami said with studied politeness: "Please don't leave out 'so-called' in referring to the Democ racy of that president, as it hurts my feelings to hear him referred to as a Democratic president. As for his re mitting the line, I have never sought to fathom the mystery of how he tried to override law aud decency by that ac tion." The senators do not enjoy beiug snub lied by Mr. McKinley any more than they did being snubbed by Mr. Cleve land, as they have very plainly shown in their private talk to each other since it became known that Mr. McKinley had decided not to furnish the senate with the correspondence with Great Bri tain relating to the Seal fisheries, asked for in a senate resolution unanimously adopted nearly two months ago. Copies of the correspondence have leen pre pared, but this week it was decided not to send it to the senate, on the ground that it would be "iucompatable with the public interests" to do so. As an addi tional teason for not complying with the respectful request of the senate, oilicials say it was feared that a publication of the correspondence might result in mak ing the English mad. Probably uni queness of this excuse is exiiec ed to make up for its lack of plaiu. everyday common sense. Meanwhile the admin istration has made public its instruc tors to Ambassador Hay, which charge the government of Great Britain with trickery. . Republican senators resorted to till blistering to break a quorum in order to prevent a vota on the Pacific Kailraad resolution of Senator Harris, of Kaus.. which Senator Morgan declares will save the people of this country f '10,000,000, if adopted in time to prevent the com mutation of the scheme started during the last administration to get possession of the road through an alleged reorgan ization and purchase, not to mention what will be saved to other creditors aud to stockholders. Republicans were afraid to kill the resolution by a direct vote, so they resorted to such rounda bout methods of doing it as refusing to vole, thus breaking a quorum. Under the senate rules a "counted quorum" doesn't go. m. Lightning Mills Sot tier ant) Son. New Kensington, Pa., July 20 Mrs Elizabeth Greer, wife of Samuel C. Greer, a farmer living near Merwin. seven miles east of here, and her 11-year-old son, James, were iustantly kill ed by lightning yesterday. Mrs. Greer was churning. Her two boys and her daughter were standing just outside the door and her husband was in the loft overhead when the loIt struck a tree near by, passed down to a wire clothes line, ran along it and picked out the 11-year-old boy, who was standing with his mother and sister, and tore and burned his body in a shocking manner. His mother, who was churning a few feet away, was instantly killed, but not a mark was left on her body. The board she wa3 standing on was splintered to pieces. A Very Singular Accident. Sehwenksville, Pa., July 10 A sing ular accident happened to Henry It. Wismer, a well known farmer residing near this place: While hauling wheat about a week ago, two 6mall graiua lodged in his Bhoe. They remained there until he retired in the evening, when he noticed two small dents in the instep of his right foot. Several days later blood poisoning set in and for a number of days he suffered intensely. His leg was ordered to be cut off six inches above the knee. This did not bring any relief and his death is expect ed at any moment. Devastated ha a llaiiolorm. Franklin. Pa., July 20.

A terrific rain has lieen falling here, and French creek and the Alle gheny river are rising. ORME BILL VETOED. The Governor Gives the Meas ure the Axe.

All the bilLs were examined, compared and audited by the superintendent of the work, the house buildings and grounds committees and the lioard of public buildings and grounds before the act was drawn for the appropriation.

Miss Jean In gelow, the distinguished tioctcss and novelist, has dit d here. She was iu her 77th year. New England is much concerned about free bides. Some of her biggest industries, especially that of boots and shoes, havo been built up during our quarter of a century of free hides. She now sells boots and shoes in all ports of tbe world. Taxed bides would cripple ' th8 ""i other industries. Her leading senators pretend to represent her ami to put up a fight for free hides. Iu reality they will, if necessary, sacrifice free hides to obtain high duties on sug ar with plenty of margin for trust prof its. Just why this is so should be a matter for senatorial investigation, if such investigation would only investi gate. Fortunately for tbe Sugar trust. but unfortunately for the rest of us 70,000,000 people, the Sugar trust un derstands well the art of making friends where they will do the most good. It has able attorneys to advise it how to diHtribute its wweets to politicians and lawmakers and at tho same time to steer clear of jails. In this way and i this way only can we account for the .titudeof not a few prominent tariff a ikers at Washington The situation is interesting decidedly so. ELY'S CREAM KAI.M U m poclttve care.
