THpBSDAY EVENING. JULY 19. 1883.
Se Hurrj.
As tbecity has determined te expend
a thousand dollars iu erecting a tempor
ary hospital for the present emergency,
we see no necessity for the ceuuty com
missioners' haste in erecting a per
manent hospital in thirty days. It is
very proper that the county should have
a hospital building for contagious dis
eases, erected and fitted in such a way
as te best adapt it te its purpose. But
such a building should net be put up in
thirty days. There will be no necessity
for its use until the winter sets in. The
plans for it should be carefully consider
ed and the best information obtained as
te the method of its construction. By
the time the grand jury mee,ts in AuguBt
all this information can be received and
laid before them for their consideration
and their authority be asked for the ex
penditure. When the commissioners can
thus obtain the proper authority for their
action, without injury te the public inter
ests by the delay, it is wrong te ask
them te assume the responsibility of act
ing without the recommendation of
the grand jury, which is the groundwork
for their expenditure pointed out by
law.
We are in favor of a county hospital
for contagious diseases ; hut we are net
in favor of building it hurriedly ; nor
are we disposed te ask the commission
ers te assume the responsibility which
we would decline ourselves te take, and
which there i3 no need of their tak
ing. We will urge tlie grand jury te
recommend the building ; and we advise
the commissioners te wait until they get
this recommendation.
Let Them Stand Finn.
.Someef the Marrisburg correspondents
say that the influence of the state ad
ministration is being used in the Legis
lature te induce the Democratic mem
bers te consent te apportionments
which arc unfair aud no better than the
present apportionments, for the reason
that if the Legislature adjourns without
doing the work for which the governor
called it together the discredit will at
tach te him. We de net believe the re"
pert. Governer Futtisen and his advisers
are tee wise te give such bad counsel for
such peer iraseii. He did his duty in
recalling the Legislature te de its duty.
It can only de this duty by making what
the people will recognize a3 just
apportionments, and no unjust one
should be submitted te by the
Democrats. Let them he sure that
they demand only what is fair and
they need have no fear that the blame
for a failure te agree will attach te
them. The Democratic party demands
fair apportionments. Its sentiment will
submit te no ether. Aud we warn our
friends in the Legislature that if they
seek te avoid the Churybdis of Republican
criticism by making the apportionments
which that party demands they will
strike en the Scylla of Democratic indig
nation at their cowardice and treachery
te their trust. Let them demand what
is right and unflinchingly maintain their
demand.
A Well Considered Vete.
One of the best of the governor's
vetoes, considered either as te form or
purpose, and one which has net received
much public attention, was his dis.ip
preval of an appropriation of S40,000
$10,000 for each of four yeais of an
"agricultural experiment station " te
be located "at and in connection with
the Pennsylvania state college " in
Centre county ; the same bill also pre.
vided for the sale of the two experi
mental farms conducted by it in the
counties of Chester and Indiana, the
money derived therefrem te be paid into
the state treasury, and interest en it at
the rate of six per cent, te be paid annu
ally te the trustees of the institution. A
cooler preposition than this, iu view of
the past history of the state college,
cannot well be imagined, and the gover
nor's reasons for vetoing it were unas
sailable. It is te be remembered that
this concern already has an endowment
of about a half million dollars upon
which the state pays it the extraordinary
interest of six per cent. ; aud yet, as the
governor says, " it has. been a costly,
useless experiment from the begin
ning :"
Its affairs have twiae baen investigated
by committees of the Legislature, aud
though the majority reports of these com
mittees haw fully exculpated the. college
authorities from auy official misconduct
they have demonstrated the absolute
uselessuess of the institution. They dis
closed that the state was the fortunate
possessor of a college that had mere
teachers tbau scholars, and that the
yearly expenses of educating the pupils
were sufficient te have baught each of
them a farm for himself aud started them
in practical instead of instructing them in
experimental (arming. This college never
had the support or confidence of the peo
ple. They would net send their childreu
te it, even though the institution has becu
imploring for pupils aud offering most in
viting iLducements. The farming com
munities of the state are absolutely in
different about the existence of this
college, and de net believe it of any use.
The history of the institution is a no
table illustration of the failure of some
of the vaunted modern " practical''
methods of education. The value of
scientific methods iu farming and of the
application of learning te this most gen
eral occupation of mankind cannot te
. questioned. There is much in the ob
jects of the state agricultural college and
probably in the purposes of the proposed
experimental station that is commend
able, but the plan by which it has been
attempted te reach them in this state, if
net radically wrong in theory, has been
a wretched failure in practice. Meney
spent in that way is like pouring water
into a tub without a bottom. If the
agricultural college were sold and its
endowment devoted te some practical
method of agricultural experiments un
der direction of the state beard of agri
culture, something might be accom
plished. Thus far there is little te show
for the vast amount of money spent.
Deksey makes out the Republican
statesmen te be grand scoundrels from
aloft te alew. The pious Garfield traded
off anything he could lay his hands en
te buy his election ; and his friends and
enemies in bis mmpwere bound tegetter
by a common hope of pluader te secare
his election. The Stalwarts, wbosefee
he was, became bis supporters under his
free premises. They were cheated all
around even before he was slain. Then
his vice presidential colleague ascended
te his place of power well knowing hew
it had been secured, and kicked down
the ladder that raised him. Dersey is
net a reputable witness ; but the testi
meny of an accomplice is valuable when
corroborated by circumstances ; and
there is plenty of such corroboration for
Dersey.

The Philadelphia Press has had re
ports that what it calls the " administra
tien Democrats" as distinguished from
the Democratic representatives gener
ally in the Legislature, are disposed te
accept terms en the apportionment and
take what they can get rather than have
the extra session adjourn without an ap
portionment. Of course this is nonsense.
All the Democrats in the Legislature
who acknowledge honorable party fldel
ity and have average common sense,
clearly recognize that the governor's
call of the extra session was amply vin
dicated by the circumstances under
which it was made. , The necessity for
the session rests with the Republicans
who, at the regular session, refused all
the Democratic off ers of an honest, just
and true apportionment. The respensi.
bility for failure of the extra session,
thus far, rests entirely with the Itepub
lican Senate.
The 1'vcss says that" the Democrats
can de their party mere harm by causing
the extra session te be a failure than by
giving the Republicans the few districts
which are the bone of contention '" ihe
congressional and senatorial app i i
mcut bills." But this is net true. Th.j
Democrats can new only de themselves
harm by giving the Republicans the
" few districts " which they ask aud are
net entitled te. All of " Governer Iit Iit
tisen's friends " must clearly see that it
will put him in a false position, embarrass
his partyaud threw upon them thg respen
sibility of the extra session if they new
consent te take such a gerrymanders
they could have had without it. Far
better no apportionment than one that
is net honest, just and true.
m
TriE telegraphers came up te time
with their strike. There is plenty of
money around the Western Union head
quarters ; tee much, we apprehend, for
the strikers. When Jay Gould pays the
unlawful dividends en fifteen millions
of stocks out of his pockets te keep up
the market quotations for the stocks, he
will be likely te have a geed deal of
money at the service of the corporation
te terminate a strike which, if continued,
will be sure te send down its stock quo
tatiens with a run. If the telegraphers
are as important te the cempauy as they
think themselves their v leaders will be
taken up te a high mountain and sorely
tempted. If they overrate their impor
tance their strike will be ineffective.

for the six months ending June 30, 1882,
the value was $64,850,930.

The Southern exposition, seen te open

that the question of space is a serious

Ik the Senate last night the Republi
cans se far receded from their previously
proclaimed " ultimatum" that the scna
terial and representative apportionment
bill was recommitted te the old confer
ence committee, with instructions te re
port back the result of their labors net
later than Thursday morning. Senater
Hall having left the city en leave of ab
sence, President pre tern. Myliu, ou me
tien of Mr. Davies, appointed Senater
Wallace te fill the vacancy. It is generally
believed, however, that the Republicans
only want te make a show of concession
and that they will net consent te anything
like an " honest, just and true apportion
ment." The trumpeted civil service reform
scheme which has been in operation in
Washington and ether cities for some time,
employed with the examination of candi
dates for office, seems te be a practical
failure, first because the Republicans in
the departments have found a peg for
every hole and there are no vacancies te
be filled ; secondly, the examinations are
of such a character that few of the appli
cants can pass them But, for the matter
of that, a young man in Washington
makes public a challenge in which he offers
any member of the civil service commis
sion, or its chief examiner, $500 if they
can pass the examination te which candi
dates for department positions are sub
jected, provided these who fail will eive
$250 te local charity.
The long straggle for the senatorial
somjaatiea'in New Hampshire has bad a
Variety of tragic, pathetic, disgraceful
and comie incidents. The last senatorial
episode is the prostration of one of the
candidates, ex-Gov. Harriman, with
heart disease and apoplexy. He had
symptoms of paralysis of the heart for
some time, but was getting better, and
last week dismissed the doctors. On
Tuesday the four Concord representatives
who had voted for him, te his chagrin
went ever te Chandler. In the middle of
the night his family was aroused and
found him senseless with the double afflic
tien. He has net recovered his faculties,
and even if he is restored it will be but a
temporary recovery. Gov. Harriman was
perhaps the best campaign speaker in the
state, and a man of splendid physique.
He was elected governor in 1807 after a
bitter fight, and again the following year.

A MAN CNOKK THE BED.
A Mysterious Nectarual Visitor at Alteena.
Alteena Tribune.
A remarkably strange affair occurred at
the residence of Mr. Albert J. Heef s, the
baker, en Thirteenth street, near the cor
ner of Eighth avenue, Tuesday morning.
It seems that a frieud of the family, Miss
Annie Wolf, of Lancaster, has been
visiting at Mr. Heess' for the past
three weeks. About 4 o'clock a. m. she
was awakened by the touch of some one
passing his hand ever her face. She
opened her eyes and discovered a man
standing by the bedside, but was se
frightened that she was afraid te make an
alarm. The intruder very coolly walked
te the window and pulled down the blind
te keep out the light, as dayligbt was fast
approaching. In the meantime Miss
Wolfe aroused Miss Emma Heess, who
shared the same bed, and told her that
some one was in the room. Miss Heess
did net scream or faint, as is supposed te
be customary under like circumstances,
but she sprang out upon the fleer and
lighted the gas. While doing se she saw
the intruder crawling under the bed, and
when the room was illuminated she saw bis
bare feet sticking out from under the bed.
She motioned te Miss Wolf te jump out of
bed and the two ran from the room and
gave the alarm by screaming at the
top of their voices. Mr. Heess and hfc
sons were aroused at once, and supposing
the house was en fire they all get down
stairs as quickly as possible. The fellow
who caused all the excitement ran down
with them and escaped from the house
through a rear window before the young
ladies could explain what occasioned the
alarm. He left no clue and his object in
entering the house is still a mystery. It
is supposed that he left his shoes down
stairs en entering, in order te walk about
without making a noise, but if that was
the case he carried them away with him
also. As no windows or doers were broken
the intruder is supposed te be one well
acquainted with the premises. Nothing
was taken from the house.

quite large and ready for topping. The
chances are that after all with rains and a
season se favorable, although au acreage
one-third less, there may be as much te
bacce as any previous year. The weight
per acre may average 1,500 pounds instead
of 1,000 pounds, or in that proportion. In
portions of the county the growing tobac
co crop has been se badly injured by bail
that the ground will at once be used for
the growth of ether crops.

thought the new ordinance conferred suf
ficient power en the beard of health te

plans suggested.
Arrived at the water works, the committee
partook of lunch, prepared by tbe officers

recemraendiug te councils the erection of a
six million gallon Worlhingten pump.

that fourteen sections of 2d inch pipe,
each twelve feet long, together with a
Y would be needed te connect t-ie new
pump with the 24 inch main uew in use.
The committce located the p'.asn for the
