LANCA8TF.ll, FKIinUAUY 27, 188.
Knotty I.rplslathc (Jiicstleiis.
Tlie lcglslilure is wrestling t Hit the ilis ilis
criminatien question, llie overhead wire
question and many ether mat lera of weighty
concern, including tlie diitiibuUen of the
state's charity fund te favored nfyliiiii1.
There can be no doubt that the legislature
has plenty of heavy work en hand. We
hope it will be cqmil.te it when it gets back
from Washington.
The most important matter is that rela
ting te discrimination in railroad charges,
but it is one which the legislature
i3 least able te handle, successfully. It
can provide penalties for the ininctiouef
the constitution, however, which it is its
clear duty te de, us it has been ferten years
past. This is a simple duty which it should
net overtax the legislative strength te ior ier ior
ferm, it it is net under railroad bondage.
The overhead wire question is another
ene that should net t hard te decide. The
telegraph companies strenuously claim that
underground wires can net yet lie advan
tageously laid. Hut it is net disputed that
they can Iks put down in some Miaie, and
it is believed te be simply a question of
cost as te hew efficient they can Ik?
made. There are people whoareinterested
in underground conduits who are taking
the most active interest in compelling the
telegraph companies te adept them. With
these private interests the public lias no
concern, but it is much concerned that the
overhead wires shall lw alwlished.
Probably the most difficult question be
fore the legislature is the disposition of the
fund it, votes for charity. Every section
that has a hospital or asylum, or a home or
even a kindergarden, gees for a slice of the
Btalc'sappropriatien. It has come te lie a
great evil that se great sums of
money are handed out te lag
ging institutions that the state has no
connection with or rejiensibility for. The
legislature has an easy read of escaiw from
these importunities if it will but avail itself
of it and declare that it will vote no appro
priation te any institution that is net
wholly a state institution. If individuals
want te be charitable it is well; but they
have no business te start a charitable insti
tution and then impose en the taxpayers
the cost of keeping it up.
When the legislature gets these matters
happily settled and the apportionment bills
passed, we will be glad te dismiss it with
our blessing.
Improve I'lililic .Sentiment.
Seme of the astute members of the
legislature, who have probably net learned
the rudiments of our political system, pio pie pio
peseto improve the public reads of the
state by establishing a state supervisor for
them. They de net seem te recognize that
the condition of the public reads is a matter
very prepeily ledged with the townships,
the units in our plan of government.
The truth of the matter is that the con
dition of the public reads is determined
entirely by public sentiment. Where that
i3 progressive, intelligent and liberal, men
of this character are elected supervisors
ami iney inaKe geed leads, wiieie popu
lar sentiment is illiberal and ill-directed it
it will net justify the selection of geed
supervisors ; and bad reads, with all the
annoyance and indued less which they
occasion, aie the result.
The Philadelphia Tinas veiy piejieiry
points out Montgomery county as an illus illus
tratieil of hew geed reads can Ih secured
by an improved public sentiment without
any changein the read laws. Theio the
people have geed reads ljccause they elect
geed supervisors and aie willing te pay the
cost of them. Where it is otherwise an
here In Lancaster county the leads aie
generally bad, the tax low and the money
is misspent.
It is very much with the leads as it Is
With the liquor business. It is net se much
nw laws that are needed as better admin
istration. In soiiie counties net ene-litth
as many taverns te the imputation aie li
censed as in ethers ; and in some no licenses
are granted. Thcie is no difference in the
laws governing thesodiflcrentceinmiinilies.
The difference is in the ieeple. They can
have pietty nearly what they want. This
is one of the advantages, or disadvantages,
of popular self-go vernment.

The General Assembly of Delaware is

vote of fifteen te live, which tfietts the
epiKMltlun te the amendment te lie weak
ening. The Philadelphia District.
The ltepubllcans talk very condescendingly
about the generosity of their party in mak
ing or leaving n Democratic congressional
district in Philadelphia "for .Mr. ltandall."
We fancy they are net doing such a gener
ous thing as some of them seem te imagine
certainly they aie putting Mr. ltandall and
his party under no lurlleular obligation.
Mr. llaudaU'fl dbtricl h.w Ken Demo
cratic for forty years ; and in all the possi
ble changes of district lwimdaiies in Phil
adelphia there is likelt te lentain at least
one Dcmecr.it ie district. Theio arc in
round numbers N),Oi) Democratic totes In
that cit te 100,000 ltepiiblieaus ; and. as
Philadelphia is essentially a federal eitv,
nudcr Democratic administration the dis dis dis
proiKutien will net le segrcat.
When the ltepiiblieaus group the Demo
cratic majorities into one Congiessienal
district they can make the ethers reason reasen
ablj safe; should they undertake te divide
their uncertain majority among six dis
tricts they tun the chance of makiiis two
or three of them doubtful.
They aie mete anxious te avoid this than
te accommodate Mr. ltandall; and they
might as well tell the tiulh about it.
The IVay te Settle It.
The siHikesinan of a Pittsburg delega
tion that applied at llarrisburg te ask
legislation iien the freight question, pro
duced n letter from Henry Pink, commis
sioner of the raihead jhhiI, in which he
said that it did net cost mine ier mile fei
asheit than for a long haul, save in the
terminal charges, which weie ulieut the
same in letli eases, and, as they are divided
into the mileage, would iucic.i the cost
of the shelter haul.
Legislation as te rates should W kised
upon this fact. The charge ier Inn per
mile for carriage should be made uniform
for all distances, and a uniform teiminal
charge per ten should Ik allowed te I e
charged, in addition te the caujing charge.
Til k New Yerk II VM thinks that it has
found out with ceitainly the men of the
cabinet and the places they aie te till ; but
we doubt it. Lamar in the iutener dcpait
ineul.ltavanl in the stale and Manning in
the treasury would net In) the happiest dis dis dis
IKwitionef the men. Lunar and H.iyaul
should change places; but we decline te
believe, until we knew it, that the presi
dent will take three of his cabinet out of
the Senate.
Tin: eighty-live cent ueltur seems dilute
the call.
Kiiem the ece.ui of derision that has been
pouted en thehi'.ut nl thewn-scrpciit emerges
an advocate el the simu in the person of
Itirhaiil A. l'rorter, the seinutt hat erratic
astronomer, lie t cry gravely declares that
there aie mere things in the sea than are

Tin: heart ceases te licatat the thought that
the lires nt the state esqiitel en Tliursday

that new encumber tlie calendars of letli
Houses.
Tin; alliriuatite and negatite of an im
portant college eontretorsy is brielly given
in another column in which Presidents Kliot
and JIcCesli, ei Hart.ud and Princeton
colleges, take up the literary cudgels respoc respec
titely for and against electlte studies. Tlie
sulject has been se often handled that it is
hard te Hay ml) thing new about it, but the
debating presidents hate suited some ttell-
knenu f.icts in a new tt.iy, and thus hate
measuiably tlirew u some light en a problem
that will leipiiie the illumination of experi
ence Ijcferu it is linally solved. Despite what
Kliot sa)s el the admitted fact that every
young collegian has s-cial facilities ter
acquiring certain brandies of education, we
adhere te the beliel, often horetofoioexpresMMl,
that sMvial development as a youth in any
oue direction piediiecs a one-sided student,
who lacks sympathy tvitli all education out
side tlie bout his own has taken. College
education is at best only picpara picpara
lery and disciplinary, and that col cel cel
leeo liiiuisbes the best education
which gites the broadest ccuer.il culture
that tv ill lit its recipient for any el the thou
sand omeigcncles of life. Te leek iqien it Uh
utilitarian, simply, Is a grms error. The
combined ttisdem of the past has Usjii
against elective studies; and though that in
itself is no concliisive argument against
them with intelligent men, it should cause
theso who tveiihl tear down te take heed lest
tlieyllndth.it which tliey projieso building
