tn who owns a medical prescription
The -substance of the decisions is, that
the nlrysician, in projeribing, gives the
patient a written order for drugs, and
their delivery terminates the operation.
The druggist may, on his own responsi
bility, renew the drugs, for ho Is a mer
chant, and has a right to sell drugs in
any shape. He is not bound to givo a
copy of the prcscription,nor even to keep
it, though he usually retains it as a pro

doctors or patients.
The action of the late Statp Temper

has repudiated the action of tho Conven

best interests of prohibition. Mr. Wil

every indication that each side will
have its partisans, and tho fight will be

OUR HARRISBUR& LETTER.
Sneoial to tbo Cahdoh Advocate.
HiriEisBUBo. Pa., April 21, '85.
Tho last week has been' a busy week,
tho members nro beginning to realize
that their time is drawing to a close, and
they are endeavoring to make as much
of tho remaining time as the possibly
ctn. During the last week thero was
considerable fun about the Hill and es
pecially so on Friday when the Speaker
discovered that there was no quorum.
Ho ordered the doors to be locked and
sent the Sergeant-at-arms to scour the
city for delinquent members. He did not
find any. It was amusing to see tho Ser
geant with several policemen and a re
porter hurrying from one hotel to anoth
er and finally when tho could not cap
ture any of the delinquent they took a
drink and a smoko and dispersed. The
Bullitt bill, tho high license bill, tho ap
propriation bills, the bill to abolisli poll
tax, the anti-discrimination and n bill to
protect the fish in Lake Erie and the
waters adjacent thereto, arc some of the
most important bills that were up for
discussion since my last letter. There is
not mu;h doubt but that high license
will ho obtained. The bill will pass
whether it will be tho proper thing to
do or not is a question. A number of
the whisky and beer men claim that it
will do them more good than harm. It
will shut up the small drinking dens and
make tho large one larger.
The poll tax bill which is to abolish
the paying of poll tax belorc tho right of
suffrage Ib allowed was discussed at great
length but was not passed. There were
rsome very good arguments advanced why
this billt should be passed, but jet they
were not well received.
Tho appropriations are still demanding
attention. Ono of tho Philadelphia
members told me that ho had a consults
tiou with thu Governor about the difier
cnt institutions that are asking aid, and
the Governor said that he was not in
favor of giving money to all tho small
institutions which ask for it, bnt would
most heartily favor giving to tho old and
established institutions. The trouble
now is that there arc so many small in
stitutions that arc asking for aid, and in
some cases they do not exist at'all, as the
Connelsvillo Hospital for instance. An
othcr'point was shown to mo regarding
appropriations which shows that some
money could be make. $18,102 were re
commended by the committee to bo ap
propriated for mileage for the members,
senators and officers about the Hill; now
this would be all right provided the par
tics who get it would use it for the pur
pose for which it is intended, but not
one-tenth of it oes wlicro it should and
where it is intended to be used. The
railroad companies get very little, if any
of'it, and yet they do tho carrying, in
fact, I don't think there is a member,
senator or officer about tho Hill who pays
a dollar of mileage money, from tho time
he comes here at the oicning of the ses
sion until he leaves at the close, yet 1
suppose there is not one who will refuse
to take all the mileage money he is en
titled to. '
The House was treated to a bill from
Mr. Bctts, of Philadelphia, which is real
ly an absurd one. It provides that every
skating rink shall pay an annual hcensc
cf $1000, one-half of which shall go into
the State, and the other half into the
County Treasury. Any ono violating
this provision shall be guilty of a misde
meanor, and liable to a fine of $1000, one
half of which shall be paid to the prose
cutor. I ins question will work out its
own existence. The more we tamiierl
with these places as an evil the more of
a hold will they take upon tho people.
Let them alone and they will soon be
compelled to close their doors for want
it patronage, which is the case already
with some ol the places.
Several of the Philadelphia members
are fearfully cross at an article which ap
peared in ono of the Philadelphia papers
this week. The article charged them
with having formed themselves into n
squeeze committee for the purpose of
getting money out of parties who want
their votes to pass bills which they are
interested in. This is certainly a grave
chargo and with tho personal acquaint
ance I have with the members charged,I
would unhesitatingly say that tho report
is basely false. Tho report that M. S.
Quay has announced himself for State
Treasurer, Jias caused some talk about
the Capital. Tho leading politicians nre
paralyzed with astonishment to think
that a politician of his standing, and a
leading man such as he was represented
to be, should aik for this office. Quay
astonished the politicians because he did
not ask for a higher oiT.ce. It is the
opinion of a number of the "poiliicians
tliat Mathew had better stay where ho is,
namely, n boss, and let somo one else do
the work. IIo will make a hard light for
It uud will probably make It.

Hundreds of lives would be sacrificed
perhaps this might be looked upou, not
m the worst kind of a calamity, but we
ooni want tnem Killed tu that way.
Still it is dreadful to think of. that hun
dreds of Hves may be saorifioed to tho
cupidity of one man, who has -grown
rieh in this nefarious business. One
perjured rascal who was nsed as tbecatB-
paw for a oontract for 10,000, had only
been in the country thrte years, and bad
never earned more tbau a dollar and a
quarter a day in his life.
Bnddsnseik was In suoh bad odor with

not grant him tbe requisite permits to

lot of dummies about one hundred aud
fifty every man of which was oompelled

our system of Inspection. Aouutractor
like liuddenaelk has a oontract for S100.-

Among tbe impressive paintings in tbe
Art Gallery" Waiting Tor Montezuma" by
Tavsemier. It derives its interest from the
palhetio tradition of the simple Aztec peo
ple, who are here reprrtented as looking
forward to Ibe coming of blm who was to
be their Messiah, a dream rudely broken
and dispelled by the coequerihg and mer
cenery Spaniard. It is tomewbat remark
able that artists In all ocea have drawn
thelr.most Interesting subjects from the ro
ligious traditions of the people, and as )ri
"ino Liasi tiunper, the work before us
Illustrates one of tbo most affecting inci
dents or traditions of a people who, until
disturbed by the Incursions of a "more re

the devoted practice of the beet principles
of all religion, observing tbe Golden Rule,
and eyen repaying the vindictive and mon.
trous cruelties of the bigoted and blood
thirsty invaders with offices (((.kindness und

spectator with such an estimate of the
character of the Aztecs.
Far different in scene and sentiment is
Mljnol's "Niagara," the large canyaa
painting of an American wonder by an

sugarcane, cotton and many other crops.
Thousands of northern people have found,
ed pleasant winter residences In "Tho Italy

of anyone who is dissatisfied wltrThis in

sister, also, Mrs. 8towe, spends ber winters
gathering and enjoying the fruits ol her
fine plantation in the same Slate, together
ill) hundreds of others from the eastern

The influx of people seeking homes in
Florida Is very large, her cheap lands, rare
productions and mild climate, having
charms which few people are able to resist,
after a brief acquaintance- with them. To
the man ef limited means wishing to make
a certain investment, no State ofler; greater
pportunities than this peniesulo. While
tbe climate is such as to make Hying com
paratively cheap and easy, the nature of
her products is such that the demand con-'
stantly keeps pace with the increased sup
ply, and so long as a first claia orange sells
at five cents, there is no danger of a glut in
the market: eveu a really giwd apple alter
centuries of cultivation, cannot be bought
In New Orleans today for less, while the

Washington, April 25, 1885.
The appointment of Edward J. Thelps,
Esq., lo the OoUrtofSt. James, though at
first favorably received, is beginning now
to elicit some very unfavorable criticisms
even from administration nowspapers. It
is shown that Mr. Fholps, though ol late
years a Democrat, has been conspicuous for
his Indifference to the success of his party,
and one speech in his own State (for which
be afterwards apologized,) Is the extent of
his stump efforts In bohalfofthe principles
be espoused after he had gone down in the
wreck ef the Old Whig party. It is shown
also that Mr- Phelps bad a band in the
great "Emma Mine" bubble, wherein he
figured as the legal exponent of the print
ciples of addition, division and silence, and
which burst with such effect as lo collapse
.fortunes of many of the great capitalists on
both sides ol the water. With these com,
plaints ol our most important Plenipotcntl
ary, we have besides the charge that he Is
tbe embodiment of codfish aristocracy, is a
firm believor in royslly and tho toadyism
pertaining thereto, and generally is any
thing hut a Democrat In tho true accepts
lion of tho word.
The last Congress, under a pressure of
public sentiment that it could not longer
bear up against, passed an act prohibiting
the Icnclng in oftbe publla domaia aud
requiring ike rcnoyal ofall fences now ex
isting that inclose the lands belouglog to
the Government. Of course tVe law will
not enforce itself, and therefore tho same
pressure tbat bore upon Congress has now
been transferred lothe President, who has
issued bis proclamation announcing that
the law must be enforced, and that ajl
persons, companies or corporations who are
maintaining fences upon tho public lands
ot the United States must remove them at
once, In default of which tbo President
will take such measures ?s shall be neces
sary, under the law, to rcmovo or destroy
tbem. By the fifth section of tho law a
sweeping authority is conferred upon the
President, to employ bnlh civil and mill
tary force sufficient to wipe out tbo lest
yestige ol these unlawful iuclnsurrs. The
people of tho country will hull with omi
nent satisfaction the tidings that the ex-
cculive has made up bis mind lo enforce
the statute.
Now that the cancer that Gen. Grant
never had is expected to git well, it may
net bo out of place to make referenco to
the unbosoming of James D, Fish, who
promises to make a somewhat protracted
visit to a New York penitentiary, lor the
hand be took in tho downfall ol the late
Marine Bank. Fish declares that Grsnt
waspriyy to eyery cne of Ward's rascally
transactions, hecauso It was utterly Impos
sible for him to haye bean imposod tipoo
iu the' way that he pretends that he was,
for no man in his right mind oould have
conceived tho legitimacy of transactions
upon which Ward made such enormous re
turns where so small an amount bf capital
was invested. Besides this, did not Grant
sign tbe, guaranty to the genuineness ol
Government contracts? and did he not per
mit ward lo use his name tn accomplish
successfully many very infamous transac
t'ona,even aftor tbe bank bad demonstrated
its inability to keep its head above water?
When the excitement over Gen. Grant's ill
ness dies out. Fish promises to lurnish some
more Interesting chapters concerning this
great publla crime. Dom Pgnao.

'Prohibitions."
"Those Republicans who complacently
Voted the. Prohibition ticket last year" are
still lery complacent and hnpelul Pruhlbl
tinnists notwithstanding tbe appointment
of Jacob Mueller as Consul General at
Frarisfort-on tbo-maln. The Coal Qazctlc
of April 23 says:
'He Is a a specimen brick of Democratic
rule for 'Piohibitioni' tu conieinplute."
Is Ibis man Mueller a "brick" becauso he
lelt the Republican party or because of his
unti-probibitioii sentiments, if the Jailer hn
must havo been a "brick" as Republican
Liiemeuani uovernor ol umo, nnd Is simp
ly a specimen of a lots of "bricks" still re
maining in tho Republican party, as for
instance beer-Ioyin editors, whiskey iioli
t'CHns. presidents ot liquor associations,
who by drova vote the scum nnd filth of
every community, and as tongas this class
are tbe special licensed pets of the Ilepub
liciu parly the Gazette will find it hard
work to get partisan prohibitionists lore
gret tie vote cast lor Jno. P. St, John. Now
we have just enough confidence in the tern-
iwrancr pretentions of the editor of the
Gazette to believe that to leave the Repub
lican party is a greater ain and constitutes
a man a"brick,"than toloye beer aud to en
lertaln tbe must extreme anti prohibition
sentiments.
Jacob Muellar.lbenuti prohibitionist and
exllepublican Lieutenant-Governorjol Ohio;
now anti-rrohibillon Democratic Consul
General to Frankfort-on-tbo main, may be
a "brick," but one thing Is sure that the
pretenses ol tho editor of the Gazette touch
ing prohibition are more hypocritical tban
pious. This la characteristic of bis parly.

People generally, and even those who
may be termed steady readers and olose
observers, have but a faint concepllou of
tbe magnitude and Influence the press of
Hits couulry has attained. From a care
till examination of lhe advance pspes nf
tbe 1885 edition of the American Nkwb
papeu BinroTonr, issued May 1st, by
Goo. I', Rowell t Com of New York, it
appears that there aro 11.117 newspapers
nnd periodicals published iu the United
Stales and Canda; of these tbo United
States has 12,973, au ayetago of one pa.
per for every 3.807 persons. In 1881 the
total number of newspapers was less by
821 than at present, and uhlle Ibe gain
this yeor is uot so marked as in some
previous years, .it is still considerable.
Kansas shows lhe greatest increase, the
number nelng 78, while Illinois follows
with a gain of 77. It is ontlous to no
tlce that New York, the scene of bo much
political activity during the last cam
paign, should hAve only about one-third
ns rnary new papers as tbe fclitoof Peni
syivania, as an index to tbe compnra.
tlve growth and prosperity of different
seo'Inns of tbo country, especially tbe
Territories, the number of new papers
forms an interesting study, and may well
occupy tne niientinn or tbe curious.
