A late dispatch from Washington says
that the admission of Dakota as a state
cannot long be resisted, as the rapid
growth of population demands the recog-

The Democratic leaders are now con-
sidering the policy of admitting Dakota
and Washington Territories as States,
which would give each party a new
State, a'though Dakota might be enti-
tled to two Congressmen and thas have
one electoral vote more than Washiug
ton. Looking to the possible early ad
mission of Dakota and Washin ston, the
administration leaders are looking out
for a high standard of men, who are
specially sagacious as politicians, to fll
the Territorial offices, and it is quite
probable that Colonel A. H. Dill, of
Lewisburg, would be tendered the Gov-
ernorship of Washington if he would ac
cept it. He would have the practically
united support of the Pennsylvania del
egation, as he is regarded as a valuable
man to charge with the preliminary
work of organizing a new Common-
wealth. Dill bas not been consulted on
the subject at all and he is in entire ig-
norance of the suggestion of his name,
but it is well settled that in the govemrn-
ments of the Territories named, men of
the highest qualities will be selected as
far as they can be obtained.
PROPOSED INCREASE OF PENSIONS.
Senator Ingalls has introduced the fol-
lowing bilis amendatory of the pension
laws: To increase the pension for the loss
of an eye to $30 per month and for par-
tial loss of sight to a proportionate
amount. To increase the pension for
loss of one hand or foot, or for total dis
ability of the same, $85 per month; for
loss of an arm within five inches of or
above the elbow joiat or loss of a leg
within six ioches of or above tue knee
joint or total disability of the sawe, Ww
$40 per month, aud forthe loss of au
arm within six inches of the shoulder
joint, ora leg within six inches of the
hip joint, to $45 per month. Also pro.
viding that the peusion of ali persons
nuw onthe pension ros and all persons
granted pensions by special act of con
gress, shall commeoce from the date of
discharge from the service of the Uni-
ted States.

REPORT OF THE TREASURER.
The report of the Auditor General for
ths year ended November 30, 1880,
it shows that the State Treasurer was
then ove r$300,000 richer than at the cor
responding period last year. The re-
ceipts were not nearly so large the past
year as the year before, but the expend-
itures sustained a reduction even great-
er than that of the revenue collected.
Betweeo $600,000 and $700,000 of this
saving was due to the fact that the year
1836 had not the drain of a session of the
Legislature to endure,
A large proportion of the tax the
State sanually collected comes from cor-
p rations, which pay good sums on their
capital stock and are also compelled to
pay a tax on their gross receipts.
As compared with the previous year
there was a reduction of over $300,000
in the amouat of money derived from
the tax on capital stock, but this differ
ence is largely due to unnaturally heavy
collections in 1885 owing to successful
Jitigation and to the fact that the State
lost about $100,000 this year on account
of the exemption of mauvufacturing cor
porations from taxation,

The greatest peril to Republican insti-

passion burns within them. The moral

with this. If youth were more general

It is an easy matter to settle the ques

The Constitution, Article II, Section 8
rays: “No Senator or Representative
shall for the time during which he shall
have been elected, be appointed to any
civil office under this Commonwealth.”
Before Beaver will have the right to ap
point any one to that or any other civil
office he will have taken an oath in
which he will say: “I do solemnly
swear that I will support, obey and de-
fend the Constitution of the Unitad
States and the Constitution of the Com-
monwealth.” On the point in dispute
the Constitution of this Commonwealth
is not ambiguous or uncertain. Its lan-
guage is plain and positive. The lan-
guage of the oath is equally direct and
certain. All the Governor-elect need do
is to read both carefully and make up
his mind to obey them.
THE
A little way up on» of the Rbhatian Alps,
beneath the shade of an old black pine, grew
a Christmas rose.* The summer had passed,
and the short days had come, when the wind
blows and the snow flies, and the hardy little
mountain rose had two buds “Dear me”
fretted the rose, “1 wish 1 could blossom
when other plants do. There would be some
pirtsure in displaying oneself for the dainty

“Ho! ho!” laughed the old pine, waving his
shaggy arms, “Ho! ho! what a little grum-

Now, the two little children of Klotz, the
wood cutter, were nearly heartbroken, for
their mother was sick, and that morning the
kind neighbor who bad watched by her side
through the night had said, “God pity this
home: I fear your mother will die before
night” Their father sat by the fireplace,
speechless with grief, and answered them
neither by word nor look when they crept up
to him for comfort. So at last they stole out
of the door, and, band in band, wandered a
short way up the mountain side, following
the foresters tracks till they came in sight of

PISDING THE CHRISTMAS ROHRS.
“If all the mothers in the world were dying
that hard old pine would not care,” said the
boy, bitterly, “Let us go back into the val
loy, sister; there we will find good people,
with kind hearts, while bere there is no one
to eare for us.”
“There Is one who cares for us even here,”
ered the sister, spying the Christinas roses,
and in a moment she bad scraped away the
gow and plucked them. “We bad forgotten

So they hastened down the mountain to the
village church, where they found the good
pastor busy trimming the altar for the Christ-
mas festival. He tack the flowers and put
them, with some feathery moss, into a tall
white vase, Then be knelt with the children
and prayed for their mother's life, and the
roses nodding on their stems smiled as though

Who now live in the skies,
in that beau iful mansion,
The home of the blest,
She's walling aod watcliihg for the rest.
