5' LANCASTER DAILY INTELLIGENCES Til I'lI) AY, SErTICMUKK KUHb", V. r :fe it It b l IV Lancaster fmtrlliamcrn THURSDAY BVENINO, SEPT, 10, 1003 The Treasury King Must (Je. Tlie constitution of Pennsylvania, which every ntntu eniccr swears te nup nup pert, defend and obey, declares In Sec. 13, Art lx., that "the moneys of tlie Bttite, ever und nbove the necessary re re asrve. shall be used In the payment of the debt of the state cither directly or through the sinking fund, and the moneys of the sinking fund shall never be invested In or leaned upon the security of anything except the bends of the United States or of this state." In Fee 18, of the 8.1U10 article, it Is prescribed that " the moneys held m necessary reserveBhall be limited by law te the amount required for current expenses and shall be secured and kept as may li provided by law. Monthly statements shall be published, showing tlie amount of such moneys, where the s.ir.ie are de posited and hew secured " Anethei artlcle of the same section makes It a misdemeanor for any state officer te raake profit out of tlie public moneys, or te use thorn for any purpose net authorized by law. The principal of the public debt must be reduced $250,000 a year nnd except In case of war, Invasion or insurrection, no part of the sinking fund shall be used or ap plied otherwlse than In the extinguish ment of the public debt. At present and for seme years te come no portion of the state debt falls due, whlle the money which is directed into tlie sinking fund Is very much In excess of the amount required te meet all the interest en t lie state debt nnd the $250,000 reduction of the principal called for by the censtitit tien. Besides, the law directs that when the quarterly balance in the general fund exceeds $500,000 tiie surplus shall be carried into the sinking fund for the cxclustve uses te which that fund is te be applied. Notwithstanding tliese platn and unmistakable directions of the statute and fundamental laws for a long time the state treasury has been run in viola tien of them. There have been carried aleifg an average balance of two millions und a half in the sinking fund and a million and a half in the general fund, and while the latter li,n net been re duced te $500,000, as the law directs, the former has net been applied te the extinguishment of the statu debt nor Invested in government securities. On the contrary, both have been steadily maintained in deil.mce and violation of the law's letter and its spirit for the single purpose of keeping the money in the banks which have it. Tliese four million dellnrs the interest of which in bends of the lowest value would bj $120,000 per annum have been at the servlce of the hanks. They have neither been upplied te ''the payment of the debt of the state," as the consti tution directs, nor " held as necessary reserve," nor "Invested in the bends of the United States or thh state." They have been leaned te state nnd national banks, most of them friends of the treasury ring. Secured V By no means The state has no security for them The treasurer gives $500,000 bail ; tlie banks give none te him or the state. When the money Is called for they cannot furnish it. It is net deposited with them, It Is leaned te them. The Hepub llcans propose te continue this regime by electing Llvesy, new cashier of the treasury. The Democrats propose te put a step te it by electing Powell. Turn the rascals out. The treasury ring mus' go. Why Should They he Paid at All .' The Heuso hasugreed with the Senate that the members of the Legislature shall net receive any compensation for the tirae that they shall remain In session after September 10th. The logic of this resolution will um rant the governor in saying tliat the members of the Legislature shall net receive any compensation at all for tlu-ii services in this extra session. The Legislatur has net done what it was summoned t de and what it was its duty te de. About this du'y there Is no dispute, nor is there any as te its failun failun te perform it. The Legislature its-'f declares that because of its failure te perform this duty it ought net te he paid nfter September 10th. There is no ether reason why its members should net l paid while they are in session save tins single reason that they liave net dot... the one thing they ought te have done and that they were reassembled te de But If this Is geed cause why they .should net be paid after September leth, hew ever long they may remain in session wuli thelr duty unaccomplished, wherefore is It net equally geed cau3e why they should net be paid up te September leth 't They have earned nothing te this date which they will net earn whlle they sit. They have dene nothing se far. There Is a bare possibility that they may de something dining the lemalnder of the session. If they de, they will have earned compensation for the time te come which they have net earned for the tnne past. The Legislature by declining pay after September 10th, has invited the opinion that they should decline it before Sep teraber 10th. Tlie people will adept this view without much hesitation. If thogov thegov thogev eruor acts upon it there is no likelihood that he will ceme te shake with fear like JlelBlinazar, as that wonderful senator, Dr. Patten, imagines. If im discovers Just cause for depriving this Legislatuie, which has refused te de its plain dut. of the compensation which it certainly has net morally earned, the governor will net have the popular verdict 'te fear, however much the victims may ia eg but since they have themselves admitted that they are net worthy of their hlie, why eheuhl even they complain Y Tub JVctc Era quotes the opinion of the New Yerk Journal of Commerce that telegraph pales cannot lawfully be erect ed en the streets of a city, by the author, ityef the city, without compensation being made te the property owner en whose sidewalk they are placed ; but it considers that electric light poles may be erected without compensation, be be bo pause they are intended te fuclll- tnte the use of the streetifer passage. There la seme ground for such a distinc tion ; but the position taken acknowl edges the right of the pieperty owner te object te the unnecessary obstiuclien of his sidewalk, such us is made by wooden poles, when iron poles or less size would de the work. It in fact eon cedes the whele case we have contended for. Tin: cost of the present Legislature is $200,071.01 less than that of the Republi can Leglslature of 1881.

Tlie unvarying regularity with which thete cmitpnipern neens events occur aie very suggestive of the mcthodsef the shrewd advertiser. I'eirs throughout the world cclelu.itcd ei Wednesday the 200th atiniversatv of the rescue, of Vienna from the Tu-ks by Jehn Sebirski III. Kins of Poland. The event was a great one, and it is preer that Its bl ceuteimial should be fittingly commemorated. Yet the suggestion is hazirdcd that if our city were rescued from the army of poles new sicking it, there would exist an eccismii for far greater rejoicing. An enterprising cabman in teuna lights his vehicle with ulectnc light ; the Ceiubcilaml Valley railroad company has a baggage, car m which Is plased .in oleo trio light plant which may be transferred from p ace te place and eeti th dudes are patreuiziug the clectrric tin id in the Illumination of their shirt studs. At this rata of progress the near future will bring with it an electnc light nppiratns which m ly be attached te the hat, thus ebviatiug the necessity of street (lighting with un sightly p-les. It is becoming mero and mero apparent that railroad companies will net take tlie precautions necessary fir the sifety of human life, unless forced at the point of the bayonet of the municipal authorities In c ties of rapid growth and much street travel the guarding of the highways that cress the railroads becomes :i matter of very serious concern. Someday, no doubt, all railroads en approaching cities will be made te go above or under ground, but as inn cestiy ciiisummatteu does net scorn passible at present, the public will preb- ably be well enough sato-Hed it tlie best of existing life saving appliances are put in force. Of thwe unquestionably the sifety gites, opening and closing with the arrival and departure of trains, are the best, and few cities of any i7e are without them Had there been a safety gate at the Pnnca street cressiug in this city en Wednesday list, mayhap the killing of a hum in bemg weu'd have bcen avoided. It h trun that Lancaster has succeeded, after much dilli culty, in obtaining watchmen at some of the mero dangerous crushing, bnt even the.10 protuised saviors lnve been found iiisuuleient. If it Is admitted tint safety gates aie the lust of the life prelectiu, apparatus ut railroad crossings, no geed loasen cxista why they should net b immediately furnishe 1 i.ur own city The cost of this ueiv depirture ought net te be very gicat, besides it should be tenieni bored that the lesa ef.i slngle hum im lile m mero te Im deplored thai that of a quar terly dividend.
