Senate Appropriation Committee, in
which he estimates that more than $500,«
000,000 will be required to pay all the
claims under the arrearages of pensions
law passed in 1879. Many claims for
pension are fraudulent, crooked swearing

Itis likely the grave-robbers’ occupation
is gone, in the new use found for torpe-~
does. It was near Mount Vernon, Ohio,
a few nights ago, that three men at-
tempting a grave robbery struck a torpe-
do that had been placed on. top of the
coffin for protection. It exploded in-
stantly, killing one and breaking the leg
of another, Thisincident seems to point
the way to great improvements in our
mortuary practices, Hitherto it has
seemed that cremation—a process repul-
sive to many—was the only safe refuge
from the desecrating hand of the resur-
rectionist. It is now clear, howeyer, that
the true protection is an explosive coffin.

The Sprague divorce case is soon to
open up. A despatch from Providence,
R. I, the other day, says that in the ofc
fice of the clerk of the supreme court of
Washington county, William Sprague
filed a petition praying for a divorce
from his wife, Catherine Chase Sprague.
The petition recites the facts cf the mar-
riage and charges Mrs. Sprague with
adultery and other gross misbehavior
and wickedness and states that her ex~
fravagant style of living has defeated
the petitioners effort to extricate bhim-
pelf from his financial difficulties. The
petition says that “she has persistently
and againstthe express wishes and coms
mands of the petitioner and after great
public scandal had been occasioned
thereby, kept company of and been on
terms of close and improper intimacy
with other men and of the same men
whose names had been associated with
bers in the public scandals aforemen-
tioned.

A QUARREL INEVITABLE,
A disagreement in the Republican par-
ty is inevitable, Itmustcome. It is be-
yound possibility for the President elect
to prevent it, He may choose his Cabi-
net as he pleases ; it cannot please every-
body. The Conkling wing of the party
and the Blaine wing of the party cannot
be harmonized, They sre bound to fly
different ways.
A real and true Democratic party has
pow an opportunity to take great advan-
tage of the dissensions among the leading
proposition for an alliance between the
rogular republicans and democrats fn the
legislature with a fair apportionment as
quid pro quo for a United States senator.
The virtuous protest of Hon, Christian
Kneass against a sacrifice of “the result
of the glorious victory of November”
meets with many expressions of warm
approval, Speaking of the alleged negos
tiations for a compromise the Press, which
is in hearty sympathy with the Grow
faction, asks the following questions:
“How could any compromise with the
democracy be justified? If it sacrificed
any legitimate republican strength in|
apportionment what possible excuse
could be offered ? 1f it did not surrender
any rightful republican advantage what
object would the democrats have in mak.
ing the negotiations
The democrats could have a very im-
portant object in the apportionment bill
besides asking the surrender of any
rightful republican advantage. The pres-
ent apportionment of members of con-
gress and state legislature shows too well
what democrats anxious for the success
of their party and for its just representa.
tion are anxious to prevent, A greater
piece of legislative scoundrelism than
this apportionment was never enacted
into law, It violates the solemn injunc-
tions of the constitution in regard to
equal and just representation of the peo-
ple in its every section. In order to
make the Pennsylvania delegation in
congress to consist of six democrats and
twenty-one republicans all the democratic
districts are above the ratio of population
and all the republican districts are under
the ratio. When this did not serve dem-
ocratic counties were mutilated and wards
torn out of cities. In short, the law was
framed so that it requires nearly twice as
many democrats as republicans to elect a
member of congress in Pennsylvania,
But it isin the apportionment of the
fity members of the state senate that
this infamous measure is shown in its
worst light, The mtio for a state sena-
tor was 70,000 inhabitants, and the cog-
stitution prescribes that the districts
shall be a8 nearly equal as possible. It
further prescribes that each county shall
be entitled to one senator for each ratio.
Under this apportionment the republican
county of Delaware with a population of
39.403, or but little more than halfa ra-
tio, has one senator, while demoeratic
Berks county with a population of 106,
701 has one senator, and Lancaster with
121,340 has two, Lebanon county with a
population of 34,006, or less than half the
ratio, has one senator who can always be
counted for the republican machine, but
it requires 97,027 inhabitants in the dis-
district composed of the counties of Ly-
coming, Columbia, Montour and Sullivan
for one senator, Here is the enormous
difference of 62,881 ia this shamefully
fraudulent apportionment between a re-
publican and a democratic district, By
this infamous system, more disgraceful
than the old “rotten borough system” of
England, because deliberately and de-
signedly fraudulent, is the Pennsylvania
senate packed to~day,
The power of re-enacting this appor-
tionment is what the Pres probably
means by, a “rightful republican advan-
tage,” against the surrender of which the
Hon. Christian Kneas makes such elo-
quent protest, regarding its abandon-
ment a8 a sacrifice of the “results of the
glorious victory of November Is it
strange on the other hand that democrats
should be anxious to prevent even by a
compromise the repetition of an appor-
tionment seamed as is this from end to
end with fraud and perjury? Such a
negotiation by which the democrats of
Pennsylvania would secure the rights of
equal representation in congress and the
state legislature is strenuously objected
to as being in the nature of a ransom
from corsairs. But as it has always beep
considered in accordance with sound
morality to ransom a captive from pirates
it is answered that there is nothing re
pugnant to political morality in a com-
promise that would rescue the democrats
from an iniquitous gerrymander by pas-
sively consenting to the election of a
United States senator by the republican
faction capable of carrying out the com-
pact. Against such a negotiation it is
urged that the bolting republicans who
sarround Mr, Grow would unite with the
democrats in preventing an unjust appor.
tionment. The answer is that this faction
is just as unscrupulous as the men of the
machine, and that the majority of its
members will go evan farther in partisan
injustice to the democrats in order to
vindicate themselves with their republi-
can constituents,
While we are opposed, with the great
body of the democratic party, to any ne-
gotiations with the machine on the basis
suggested in varions quarters, the shame-
fully infamous character of the appors
tionment will be sufficient justification
for those democrats who have sought to
save the party from its repetition. If the
obligation to obey the constitution wil
not induce the republican majority in the
legislature to make an apportionment in
accordance with its provisions they will
be bound by no compromise. Those who
made the gerrymander of 1874 and are
profiting by it are just as anxious to ob-
tain all the advantages they can get from
a like gerrymander in 1881, Batthis isa
matter which concerns the honest masses
of the republican party as much as it does
the democrats, It is of as much impor.
tance to the republicans as to the demo-
crats that the provisions of the constito-
tion in regard to the rights of representa-
tion should be faithfully observed. This is
a public matter affecting the rights and
interests of the whole body of the peo-
ple, and over it there can be no comprom-
ises or negotiations, The republicans may
repeat the appportionment fraud of 1874
and the people may again avenge the
wrong, as they did then, at the ballot
box.
Among railroad news we notice that
for the purpose of affording an alternate
line from Hollidaysburg up the eastern
slope of the Allegheny Mountains and
throngh the mountain tunnel, the Penn-
sylvania Railroad Company is contems
plating re-laying what is known as the
New Portage Road from Hollidaysburg
to a point a few miles west of the tunne,l
By so doing the company will be able to
relieve the great pressure that is now felt
on the eastern slope of the mountain by
the transfer to the new line of some of
the freight tonnage. This improvement
will also give the advantage of two tun«
nels through the mountains and very
close together in the event of any acci-
dent happening to either one of them.

tary. He thought that the funding cer
tificates proposed by the bill eould be
floated at 3 per cent, Ie could not say
whether the bonds could be floated at 3
per cont, if their term be fixed at thirty
years without an option for earlier re-
demption. Mr, Bayard said to-night,
when asked if there were any means of
knowing what action the Senate would
bo likely to take, that he did not see how
it was possible that there could be any,
because for himself he had not given the
matter any thought in this connection
until the bill had passed the House, and
he believed other Senators had been of
his opinion while it was before the
House ; that it wonld be simply useless
to predicate anything upon what the
House might do, for until almost the end
of the consideration of the bill one day's
work in the House was as likely as not
to be completely subversive of that of the
preceding day. He thought it could be
safely said that there was a general desire
in the Senate to pass a Funding bill with
the least possible delay,

Mr. Bentley, commissioner of pensions,
speaking of fraudulent claims says:
“Considering the whole case it is my
opinion that not less than 10 per cent.
of the pension appropriations are paid out
upon fraudulent and illegal claims, which,
by the adoption of a proper method for
the preparation and presentation of the
evidence in support of the cases, would
be saved to the Government and the
people.”
It is a pity the parties who draw these
fraudulent pensions can not all be dis
covered and brought to justice, an event
that would leave but few empty prison
cells. We sometimes think we could
point out some of them. Commissioner
Bentley says, that the Pension Otlice, as
now organised, is “almost wholly at the
mercy of criminals, for there is nothing
fo prevent a rogue from making up pa
pers for claims having all the appearance
of being genuine,” it can be imagined
what a temptation to perjury and forgery
was sent out by Congress,
The Sun adds: On June 30, 1880, 250 -
$02 persons were receiving pensions from
the Government. This was 8,047 more
than were on the rolls a twelvemonth
before; although, as the war recedes in
the past, the number of pensioners, ac-
cording to the experience ofall other na-
tions, and according to our own experi-
ence before these days of demagogery
and fraud, should steadily decrease with
the lapse of years,
Fifty million dollars are now required
every year to pay these pensions; while
the Arrears act, passed Jan, 25, 1879,
brought into the Pension Office 180,000
new claims, There were already in the
office over a hundred thousand claims,
then pending, to which the provision for
arrears applied, so that there are, in
round numbers, 282,000 claims on which,
if they are allowed, the act wil! take ef
fect. They average over a thousand dol-
lars each; and this average will increase
by more than a hundred dollars a year
each, until they are seltled, Taking
eleven hundred dollars each as the aver-
age, we get a total of about $310,000,000
called for as the first payment. Now de-
duct thirty per cent. for claims possibly
to be thrown out as detected frands, and
we still have §217,000,000 as the lowest
sum we can expect to pay. In addition,
we must reckon in the $25,000,000 already
paid for arrears prior to the time of the
annual pension report, and then we have
242.000,000—an amount which will be
further increased, if too large an allow-
ance has been made for the number of
claims thrown out.

If the legislature adjourns, without a
choice for senator, what then? can the
governor appoint until the meeting of
an extra session next winter? The
following points of law bear npon the
case:
The constitution ofthe United States
provides in article 1, section 3, “That if
vacancies bappen by resignation or
otherwise during the recess of the legis-
lature, of any state, the executive there-
of may make temporary appointments
until the next meeting of the legislature,
which shall then fill such vacancy.”
The act of the legislature of this state
passed January 11, 1867, and based upon
the act of congress passed July 25, 1366,
providing for the election of senators,
provides in the second section “That in
case no person shall receive a majority
of all the votes of the joint assembly on
the first day, the joint assembly shall
meet at 12 o'clock meridian of each suc-
ceeding day during the session of the
legislature and take at least one vote
until a senator shall be elected.”
There is not any provision made in
the act of congress nor in the act of as-
sembly above referred to authorizing
the governor to appointa United States
senator, :
The third section of the said act of as.
sembly provides that, “Whenever on
the meeting of the legislature a vacanc
shall exist in the representation of this
state in the senate of the United States,
the legislature shall pr , on the sec-
ond Tuesday after the commencement
and organization of its session, to elect a
person to fill such vacancy, in the man-
per herein before provided for the elec-
tion of a senator for a full term; and if
s vacancy shall happen during the ses-
gion of the legislature, then on the secs
ond Tuesday after the legislature shall
have notice of such vacancy.”
Do not the provisions of the act of as-
sembly requiring the joint convention
to meet each day during the session and
take at least one vote until a senator
shall be elected make it imperative for
this legislature to elect a senator before
a final adjournment? This is a problem
which will bear some discussion.
Should they fail to do so, does the
constitution of the United States, which
provides that if vacancies happen by
resignation or otherwise during the res
cess of the legislatare of any state, pro-
vide for a vacancy created in this way
and confer on the governor the power
to fill it by appointment until the next
meeting of the legislature? It is cer-
tainly clear that there is no provision
made for such an emergency as now ex-
ists, If, therefore, the legislature fail to
elect, the great state of Pennsylyania
will be without its full representation in
the senate of the United States until the
next session of the legislature,
Does the absence of any power to ap-
point by the governor in the act of as-
sembly of April 11, 1867, in any way
conflict with the provisions of the con-
stitution conferring the appointing pow-
er on the governor? is another point
which will bear elucidation.
The state constitution makes no pro-
vision in the case. If the legislature
thould adjourn before the vacancy oc-
curs, which will be on the fourth of
March, the governor could appoint, but
he can notappoint if the vacancy oe-
curs during a session of the legisla.

position in the Cabinet in order to break
the deadlock in the Legislature and to pro-
mote unity between the two contending
republican factions by the election of both
Oliver and Grew, Such an sllisnes is
very improbable, even should Garfield
interpose to restore peace in the party.
Tho argument of the bolting republicans
against the regular candidate for Senator
bas been that be is the choice of the “mas
chine'' and dees not pessess the necessary
qualifications for Senator as to statesman
ship,
The alligation has been repeated!y made
that the bolting republicans are animated
in their revolt by a desire for power and
plunder, instead of by a desire to elevate
the politics of the State.
this kind would afford justification for the
charge. The breach between the factions
i# so wide that every indication points te a
continuation of the strife. The only way
they can come together, judging from ap-
pearances, is by withdrawing Grow and
Oliver from the list of candidates. The
sppointment of Cameron to a Cabinet per
sition would require the Legislature to
elect two candidates for Senator, bul as it
bas shown ils inability to chose ene, i
troubles would probably be only dupli-
cated.
