This measure was defeated in the senate two years ago after it had passed the house by practically a unanimous vote. There is no probability of it becoming a law, because it will not raise sufficient rev- enue to meet the state expenses, The grangers are committed to the bill and believe it will place more tax on corporations. A practical test of the amount of revenue it will raise is now being made by the auditor gener- al's department. The railroads and other corporations ostensibly behind the proposition two years ago, have withdrawn their support and the gran- gers have the field all to themselves, several weeks to report to the legisla ture the result of the practical opera- tions of the measure, A ————— ho A A A AAI Peace, or McKinley Gives You No Ple, No pie so long as Pennsylvania Re publicans are at war among themselves ~that is President McKinley's ultima- tum. Not only will the president not make any appointments for this state, but he will not even consider applica. tions, according to trustworthy infor- mation. McKinley told Penrose this, and it is announced the two senaturs have decided not to make any sugges- tious until they know what they are to be allowed ; in other words, not un- til some kind of a peace is patched up of the president can be bulldozed into backing down from his demand for harmony.
