It coats abont $2500 to keep the legis

An earthquake had the impudence to
shake tip tome of the people of Ken
ttlekry, on the morning of the 11. The
report from Columbus. Kv., states that
bedsteades wera rolled across the floor*
<tf rooms and bureaus and presses were
thrown down and broken. A portion of
the Mississippi River bank caved in
near the town, leaving one house hang
ing over the bluff. The movement was
so violent as to ring bells on the locomo
tives standing In the sheds at the de
pots. The rumbling lasted only a few
seconds.
Whether this shake started the big
rock down the mountain at the forks,
about 24 hours after, we will let the rock
answer for itself.
Sergeant-at-arms Gaines, republican,
of the state House of Rep's, has been
caught at an attempt to make enormous
gains by making out a string of witnes
ses, in contested election cases, who did
not attend, some of whom were never
subpoenaed, and others fictitious names-
Games was purely for in all thb,
and if the House does its duty in the
matter it will put Gaines where he ran
not do such a little act of villainy
again.
The Penn'a legislature's usual ad
journing time is approaching, and yet it
has done nothing but fooled away time.
All the real work it has done from first
week in January to this date, could have
been done in three days, and the useless
fellows could hava gone to their homes,
attended to private affairs, loafed in sa
loons, or whatever may have been their
home habits. Pennsylvania could get
along admirably the next five years,
without any legislature at all—in fact it
is getting to be a public nuisance, and
we would not be surprised to awake
some morning and find that the grand
jory of Dauphin county had presented
it as such. To drop a can of dynam
ite in among these Solons at Harrisbnrg
occasionally, we think would lie health*;
the adjourning effect of it would be im
mediate without a motion.
The English people are full of warand
fight, but the government is not quite as
hot as its subjects are, and although
John Bull makes an angry look at the
Russian Bear, yet he tries to keep far
enough off so as not to be hugged. The
temper of the English populace may be
seen by their conduct at a peace meet
ing in London one day last week. A pro-
Turkish mob broke up the meeting. Mr.
Bradlaugb, one of the speakers, was af
terwards cudgelled, and fled in a cab. If
England should get at war with Russia,
no doubt these fellows who break up
meetings in favor of peace, would be
fou id at home, talking war whi'e others
would be doing the fightiftg—they would
keep at a safe distance from the paws
and arms of the Bear.
As Frank Hughes does no', think the
democratic party can be trusted any
more than the republican party upon
the matter of greenbacks and that there
is need for a third party to be called the
National or greenback party, the Pitts
burg Post fives Mr. Hughes to under
stand that he is misrepresenting the
democratic party. The Poet says:
"He objects to the National Banking
system, as a needless tax upon the peo
ple. So do we, and believe greenbacks
should be the sole paper currency. Well
the National banking system was estab
lished during the war as a Republican
party measure and in opposition to the
votes of all the Democrats in Congress.
In 1870, Speaker Randall introduced a
bill substituting greenbacks for national
bank notes, which received the votes of
all the Democrats in Congress and was
opposed by the Republicans, and of
course defeated, as tbev had an over
whelming majority. That there is a
bill now before Congress, with every
prospect it will pass, proposing to retire
national bank notea and substitute
greenbacks, is due to the fact of Demo
cratic supremacy in one branch, and the
growing strength of the party in the
other.
"The repudiating law of 1869, by
which the option of redeeming the bonds
in legal tenders was surrendered, which
Mr. Hughes will agree with us was an
infamous breach of faith, was a Republi
can caucus measure, passed by the votes
of that party, and oppoeed by all the
Democrats in both Houses of Congress,
save one!
"The silver steal of 1873 was passed
by a Republican Congress and approved
by a Republican President.
"The Resumption law of January, 1875
was devised by a Republican caucus, re
ported by Sherman, forced through
under the party lash, and voted for by
Republican Senators and Representa
tives, and opposed by every Democrat in
Congress.
"These votes cover that financial poli
cy against wbicb the National party is
supposed to be specially organized. It
will be seen it is the fruitage of Repub
lican supremacy from beginning to end,
and was antagonized and opposed at
every step by the Democrats in Con*
gress."
Representative Banning gave to a Cin
cinnati reporter last week the following
comparative statement as a good reason
for reducing our army expenses :

New Hampshire went republican on

next tumble will land her square in the
democratic ranks.
The Massachusetts house defeated a
prohibitory liquor bill, the other day by
118 to 93. Who'd a thought it, of the
old puritan commonwealth, that has
been lecturing the rest of mankind all
along on the liquor business.
The Penn'a RR., had a stormy annual
meeting one day last week, as will be
seen in another column of the Reporter.
She needs to have a stormy time until
she comes up to her promises and com
pletes the Penns Valley road.

In the Harrisburg H.of R., the other

COCXTRY ASP CITY TAPERS.
We occasionally have A subscriber of
the Reporter tell us that he can get a
large leekly paper from New York and
other cities for from $1 to $1.50 per year,
while the price of country weeklies is $2
and thinks it too high. Wo will here
endeavor to make it plain to all why
there is this difference in price.
1. All the cheap city weeklies come
from odices where a daily is printed,
and the matter set tip for the daily is
put aside each week ami used for the
weekly—Orna costing nothing for type
setting. In'a country paper all the ess
[tense of type-setting falls on the •* ee k It.
City religious jsipers, where no daily is
printed, cost as much as county week
lies, and more. The Lutheran Olwerver
Philad., costs $2.50 . The N Y. Observer
costs s.'<ls: The N. Y. Kxatntner costs
$-.50, and thus all other city weeklies
for which the type must be set express*
ly like IU a country office where no daily
ia published.
2. The cheap city weeklies on which
there is no expense for composition,
[because taken from the daily have a
circulation of from W 000 to 50,000 and
over, and a clear profit of only five cents
on each subscriber would bring a clean
profit off 1500 to SSOOO per year. The
average counly papers have a circulation
running from 400 to 2000, and a profit of
10, CO, or 10 cents on that would be a
mere tritie, and would leave the paper to
starve.
S. Those large newspaper establish
ments in the city can afford to have their
own paper tnills, and get their paper at
cost. They pay about 21 cents t>er
pound for rags, and their paper costs
them about 4cts per lb. We country
printers must pay three times as much
for rag paper .besides many of the city
papers are printed on straw j>aper,
which coats them still less.
4. The duty on paper ia so high that
none can be imported from Kngland
where paper is very cheap; this gives
the American japer mills a monopoly
and they tlx the price that printers
witot pay. Books, newspapers, Ac., would
all be cheaper were it not for this mo
nopoly which is kept up by a high duty
on imported paper.
To sum up, then •• A city week'.v like
the Sun, World, Times, and others, is
low in price because tbev have all the
above advantages—and we ask any
honest, candid reader of the Reporter,
how it would be possible for a country
paper to exist if it had to come down in
price to a level with the city weekly,and
none of its advantages"
If our type setting cost us uothiiig,
and if we had thousands of a circulation
and could manufacture our o* n paper
and thus have it at hrst cost, then we
could do it. Otherwise not. These are
some of the reasons w by a county paper
is higher in price than one from the city
and we believe they will convince any
fair-minded reader that country papers
are published at as low a figure as cir
cumstances will permit, and that it
would be unfair to ask the publisher to
comedown to city prices.
Country paj>ers, be it remembered,
were not raised in price during the war—
all city papers were,

This bill, although general in its char
acter, is intended to apply to I.uzerue
county. The citizens of the northern
portion of this county have been strug
gling for a separate existence for the
past eighteen years, but have repeated
ly had their project defeated in the Leg
islature by influences brought to bear
from Wnkesbarre, the county scat.
There is a strong prolmbihty that the
present Legislature will grant the peti
tion, aa the necessity for a division has
become apparent. The name of Lack
awanna has been proposed for the coun
ty to be created, us the principal portion
of the territory which it will comprise,
is located in the lau-kawanna Valley.
Scranton will be the county scat. Lu

A married woman cannot give a bond

of land, ami while she holds it. she is
tkiitnil to perform the conditions of the
grant. She may po—ess an estate sep
arate from that of her husband,ami may
make a loan, or gift of property, to hint,
but she cannot issue execution on a
judgment eoufcased by him in her favor
nor maintain a Milt against hitu on a con
tract made during coverture. A wile

ly different in their kind and quality
Mie mav possess a legal separate estate,
under the statute of Pennsylvania ot
11th April, ISIS, w here land is granted
to her and her heirs, ami she may hold,
transmit and convey it. as any other
owner, if her husband join in the con
veyance, and if she acknowledged it in
accordance with the statute. A man may
convey bis properly without acknowl
edgement, an acknowledgement in his
case merely entitling the deed to bo

chasers; hut a married woman's deed
without acknowledgement is void. >lie
may join with him in mortgaging her
legal separate estate to secure money
lent to her, or to secure a debt due by
her husbaud, or even to secure hts fu
ture indebtedness. Her equitable serr
ate estate—that is, w here land is grant
ed or devised to her for her sole and
separate use, with or without the inter
vention of a trustee — is of a very differ
ent kind. During her husband's lifetime
| she can exercise over such an estate on-
Ily the | vow ens given by the instrument
1 creating it, and has no power of dispo-i-
tioo beyond i!. She cannot convey or
mortgage it, unless the instrument cre
atintc the estate gives her that power,
ami, in the absence of it, her deed or
mortgage, though her husband join in it
is absolutely void. On the husband's
death the trust for her separate use
ceases, and does not revive on a second
marriage. With these principles in his
mind, a good business man could not go
far astray in reirard to the rights and
powers of a married woman over her
own property.

Constantinople. Jan 25.- We are in
the midst of a money panic. The theory
of a paternal Government is that it
should act on communistic principles to
the extent of providing bread lor the
people at a reasonable price. The pro*
duction of bread is under severe restric
tions, and the Government daily joun
ces on ambulant bread-inen to weigh
their loaves and to confiscate the stock
if one loaf is under weight, But gold
haa gone up 20 percent in twenty-four
hours, and the wisest precautions of the
fathers of the faithful hare failed. Men
went hungry to bed last night because
the bakers will not take paper money,
whose value will shrink 10 per cent
while the bread is baking 1 a Turk
ish girl of nineteen or twenty, standing
near a baker's -hop, yesterday, with
w rath in her eye. Her veil had fallen,
and sir. in fact, had her outer mantle.
Her face was finely moulded, her eye
black as jet. Her cheeks were Hushed
with excitement, and her nostrils were
dilated. The trouble was that she has
been able to earn five pia-tre* a day
with which to buy bread for her mother,
two small children and herself. At the
beginning of the war bread was oneaud
three-quarter piastres per oke, and it re
quired two okes of bread every day for
the family. As the pat>er dej reciated,
the price of hrvad was increased, hut her
wages remained five piastres a day, as
before. Yesterday the poorgir! was in
formed by the baker that the price of
bread had been raised to five piastres
the oke. Still she earns only five pias
tres perdav. I*nfortunately rhe is not
the only victim to "the times." The
suffering in the city has become very
great, and I fear that in the country it
may be much worse, even in r>-gionsdis
tant from the seat of war. At Erzerum
the people are almost starving. Flour is
five times the ordinary price, and the
poor suffer doubly because no luel is to
be had. Many have tied, but the com
mon people cannot tlee.
Victor Hugo the other day, at the
nuveiling of the butt of Ledru-Uollin,
on his tomb in Perela Chaise, that the
dead orator possessed the sovereign gift
of human speech, accent, gesture, proud
and firm probity, and grand affirmation.
And at the close of his little speech,
Hugo exclaimed: "Citizens —I call to
witness the great departed we are hon
oring—the Republic will live. It is in
the presence of death that life must be
affirmed. The Republic will live be
cause it is right, because it will be con

A Stormy Annual Meeting of the!
Stockholder*.
Philadelphia, March 12. Musical Eund |
Hall was crowded this morning with stock
holders ' including many front other cities)
in iittendnuca on the annual meeting of
the Pennsylvania Knilroad Company The
publication of Colonel Scott's repi rt had'
put everybody in poaaesslon of the policy
proposed by the "int." and there was of
< lurto an active body "t "outs'* on hand'
to nntagonir.e the lunding plan suggested
by the Itonrd of itirei tors, mid to endeav-j
••r II possible to secure a new deal and !
Change ill the management of the road '
Ihe sentiment of the meeting was vehe
ment against fast freight lines, the eij less'
(Speculations, free pasiot, high salaries, or*
oamuiital ofltcials and useless ami lavish
expenditures on the road atid In improve- •
menu But as numbers do not hold the
majority of the stock, this is thought of lit
lie consequence The result of the inert*,
ing was a substantia! triumph for the
; Board of Director* and Colonel Scott-
Mayor Slokeley ol Philadelphia, hy vir
luo of the fact that Itio city is the largest
- shareholder in the road, was called to the
■ chair, and Joseph Leslie was appointed
i Secretary.
A motion was madu by Cu-iavus Ho
i inak, that as ike annual report had been
fully published, and all wore familiar with
11 it, the reading of it be dispensed with.
• | Numerous objection* were made, on the
11 ground that the report was the most im
portant ever prepared, and things in it
should be explained to the shareholders
The final decision was that the report be
i read, and that those present should have
I tht privilege of calling for explanations o!
• any points which might lie in doubt
' When the mention of general expenses
• of the main line, SHS .Vss 7V'. was reached
a stockholder said . "I desire to know
what are the salaries of the President and
! Vice President* * ' Colonel In re
ply, said : "The salaries ot Vice Presi
dent* were SI2,UW. but it has been re
duced to about SIO,OUO each. My own
• salary is about $24 UUO, subject to 2D per
, cent reduction Two reductions at 10
percent, each have been made. Other
I officer* have salaries in main office* from
, SIO,(AW to $ 1.0W) " In reply to a question
i a- to the salaries of the three assistant vice
■ presidents, Col Scott said it was original-!
i ly $b (k*)but was now $4,8(11).
, That portion <>f the report relative to the
- rule of the Empire Line having been read,
-| in answer to a question how long the Em
> |-ire Line lisd been established on the
t road. Colonel Scott explained that trans
portation lines were started on the road
• twenty years ago in competition with New
York reads, and because fast lines drew)
• more business than the road could hare
t dene by itself The Empire Line wasi
. bought w hen it was. bei ause grt at diflicul
ty hid arisen among the oil refineries, by
-i which it lost fir several months very
large and valuable traffic. He consider*
ped the purchase n wise operation Colonel

answered all question* personal!? in re-'
gsrd to nny point in the report lie at*'
tribute.i the falling i>!T in the business latl.
y-ar to the slow movement of Wet*rni
products early in the year, tha Jamages
and delay occa-ioned by the mils. the un-j

The Funding Plan.
When tha funding plan and resolution
indorsing it with which the report con
cludes had been re* 1, an angry and excit
! discussion followed A stockholder,
Mr. (ialvin, asked what advantage il
would be to the slot kholders.
Colonel Scott replie ! that it would un
load liabilities it the company, amounting
to Slt£l OUU.UUII lie considered >1 the saf
est and best possible security that could bs
made in this county.
Mr. (islrin retorted that by the plan it
a few years all his stock would be taker
' from him. lie had heard the manage
niatit criticised on a ! hands Inside in
teratl bad absorbed the money of the
! stockholders.
Mr l'ntter of Philadelphia, opposed lbs
funding proposition, and urged that it pro
posed to intrust two individuals and •
! street company, with power of purchasing
' 5183.000 <OO of securities. He claimed ths
' plan would be slow and doubtful in lis re
. suits.
Mr. Todd of (sreetisburg, said tbo road
demanded a chat,go of management It it
I on the v*rge of bankruptcy, and there are
women and children in his town to-day
who want bread because of the misman
agement which has characterised the road
and made il (ail a a dividend-paying in
vestment. tCbeert )
Col Scott defended the management of
the road, and said il si as good as that of
any corporation in the world, as it was the
largest company in the ,world. Some
thing has been said about his salary, which
he desired to i Alain. He gota little over
a yeaiT bad no salary from
any other source. (Applause.) He was
President not only of the main line, but
itj laterals, and he thought it was hard,
1 that when the officers of the road had been
I doing their best that such inuendoes
should be made. (Applause.) There was
1 not an officer of the road that did not earn
hi- salary. Il there wer* he would not nc-
I rupy his place a month.
A Victory for Colonel Srott.
The debate was continued for some time,
and was at length terminated by a motion
to reler the annual report to a committee
of soven for investigation and examina
tion, the committee to be appointed by the
chair acting with the Board of Directors,
and to repor, on Monday, March, 26. the
day before the election of the new board
A resolution. by a stockholder against
free passes, free freight, discrimination
and the number and salaries of officers
was referred to the committee on the an
nual report.
An amendment was offered to the reso
lutlon of the Hoard of Directors in regard
to tho trust fund, that before any money i*
paid into tho Trust Company, six per cent,
dividends shall b paid tq tho stockhold
ers. This resolution was referred to the
Committee of Seven on tho annual report.
TWI result ol the mooting so far Is con
sidered a Colonel Scott. The
committee will bo appointed in bis inter
est, and their report will sustain the pend
ing plan proposed by the President and
Directors of the road.
