no nrrangemrnt made for printing on
the primary ballot the names of candi
dates for the nomination And the
candidates for election as delegates have
not been sayiug anything about the
candidates whom they faor.

to elect the delegates, uncommitted to
any one, and then for the Mate leaders
to issue orders how they shall vote
when the leaders discover how the state

NO WHITEWASH!
OP MOItn importance thnn the de
tails of the bribery plot which is
said to have grown in the City Council
out of the bill to grant n special trolley
franchise on a part of the Hoosevelt
boulevard is the question of the integ
rity of tho neu Council itself. Mr.
Itotau, Mayor Moore and tho members
of the committee which has tbe inquiry
in charge might ns well realise now
thnt a failure to fully explain Hie epi
sode of Mr. Schmidt and his Mystery
Man will cause more bitter general re
seutment than tin actual exposure of
perfidy in a few members of the new
chamber.
The Mirfiiie of the tnse alone has.
been touched in the iuvestigntlon that
will be resumed this week. He!ou the
surface there may be much or little

factory as it stands. Under any cii
cumstanccs it might be expected to
meet with honest and rational opposi

nntces nothing to the people who will
have need of add'tlonal trolley facili
ties. It does grant the P. It. T. u
new and valuable franchise. Strange
methods nre sometimes adopted to force
such bills throuch. Hven stranger
methods have been used lv dishonest
officials who do not hesitate to dig for
graft wherever they think it mav be

Whcip theie is an unpleasant odor

the time aside. What is denr is that

tolerated. The new Council has great
powers. If one or more of its members
nre m tuall.v crooked, the wnole scheme

HIGH COST OF-DANCING
GERMANVS budget for the cuirent
iical year rails for the expendi
tute of nbout -10,000,000.000 marks.
Reckoning the murk at its pre-war
value, this amounts to about S10.000,
000.000 The finance minister estimates that
onl about 2L'.000,000,000 marks can
lie raised under tho present taxes ami
that new tnxes will have to be levied
to raise the remainder. A perianal
property tax has been proposed hut no
action has been taken.
Taxes are levied at present on in
comes, dividends, inheritances, business
turnover imports, exports, coal, to
bacco, bank reserves nnd corporations.
Of the 10.000.000.000 marks to be
inised about VIS.OOO.OOO.OOO aie for
the oidinaiv expenses of government
nnd the remainder for expenses, growing

foi the collection of money to pay the

PINCH BILLS AND.PRANKS
A Bill That'Had "Mllllonitfnilt."
Nicknames of Legislators.
Some Practical Jokes
ny GEORGE NOX McUAIN
THE reference, to "pinch blUs" in
connection with the present council
manic investigation In this city recnllo
that this is a term or legislative collo
quialism peculiar to Penuslvnnla, or
rather to Harrisburg
It is intended to bo descriptive of a
bill not introduced in good faith, but
designed to "pinch" the Individuals or
Interests nffected arid cause them to seek
the quashing of thfc measure for a finan
cial or other consideration.
In other states this type of IcgWatlxe
blackmail is recognlxrd under different
appellations. In the West it is known
as a "squeeze."
As a rule. In former vrsr ther were
aimed nt interests peculiarly susceptible
to this sort of legislation, such as race
tiacks, liquor, pnwnbroklng ami the'
class of corporations that were known,
to be treading daurcrously near the '
iiniiis 01 me iavv.
Some of them nre so mmvuvsty e
vised and worded. 50 nkillfullj ramou
flaged as to their rrsl iwiriw. ihi
they are very difficult of dttcYlfon, and
are only brought to the altrnUon f '
those whom they are intended lo reach 1
after the bill is well on its way to third
reading and final passage
AT 'THE session or 1SSV? a memhr
from Allegheny county, serving his
first term and-innocent of the devious
wo.vsof "pinch-blll" methods, presented
n legitimate bill affecting the liquor in
terests with which he was connected.
V,w?, if I fecall, proposed remedial
legislation designed to correct nn error
or an injustice in the existing law
The member in nurstion sens nntihrH
b. a colleague thnt nis measure, owing1
o its cunrncier. nau mighty little chance
01 ncing passed. .
"Hut, my dear friend, it is nbsolutelv
necessary that this bill should become
a law. Don't you know that there are
millions in it?" exclaimed the innocent
one.
What he intended to invev by the
latter remark wns that millions of dol
lars were involved. But the other fel
low accepted his expression at' face 'value
nnd tho word passed around among the
buccaneers like n June zephyr that there
were "millions in W ' bill."
1 T,,at. ?ct.t.!Fd its fnl- t was a
liquor bill. 'I he liquor interests wanted
it passed, und what more natural than
that there should be "millions in it"?
Inviiiu did the author of the bill
plead, beseech nhd explain. As the
phantom millions fnllccl to materialize
the bill never got out of committee.
"TIVKRV session of the Legislature
-1 produces some member whose pecu
liar characteristics stand out ronspicu
ouslv from the general mass of men.
There wns Austin L. Tnggayt, of
uouigoincry. county, who during his
career coveilng three or four sessions
earned the cognomen of "Fanner"
Taggart until his death in 1S0I. He
wns n big, kindl. outspoken man, and
not particularly distinguished cither for
bucolic expressions or appearance.
'Ihe late William T. Creasy gained
the title of "Farmer" at his first ses
sion in 1S8.", nnd it clung to him until
he died n few months ago.
Ucojamlu K. Spangler. of Cumber
laud, was known as "Star Spangled
Spnugier" from his disposition to break
into patriotic oratoiy on the slightest
occasion nnd wave the old flag just as
post-bellum statesmen waved the
"blood shirt."
John Donahue, of Philadelphia u
massivrl built Democrat with a trokcu
nose, was universally known as "Rig
John."
George McGowan, of the Second dis
trict of Philadelphia, who served during
the two sessions of 'S7 and 'S7 was
in his day the best nnd most carefully
dressed man in the House. He was an
able lawyer, slight, agile, dapper, nnd
nnioug his colleagues was known as
"Dandj" George.
John II. Fow, of Philadelphia, who
represented the Seventeenth district,
was bneof the ablest constitutional law
ycrs and most bkillful parliamentarians
the Democrats ever had on tho floor
Ho wns short, of Falstnffinu figure nnd
the possessor of a powerful voice. He
earned ami retained, as a result, the
title of "Fogboru" Fow.
"N THE impulse of a moment and
regardless ot the consequences Fow
would perpetrate the most unlooked-for
jokes and outlandish harlequinndes.
After the fashion of that day in cer
tain hotel bars, the Harris House had
its ceiling gaudily dccorUccl with pen
cjant circles, diamonds, curves nnd other
geometrical figures formed of pinked and
peiforatfd tissue paper in vivid colors.
It served the double purpose ot decora
tion nnd fly roost:
One night in the bar of the Harris
House, on the mad impulse of an in
stnut, Fow lit a spiral of paper, stuck
it up among the pendant muscs of
tissue and in nn instant the ceiling was
in a l)la?e.

rnHE British, having the Irish proh

countT's sentiments about Ireland, nrc
pecullarl.v sensitive nbput ."nnti-Amer-ican
incidents."
Thev nre alarmed when the-gallerics
boo tho American actress l.aurctte"
Tyler.
They are alarmed again when Ho
ratio TJottomley attacks tho former
American, Viscountess Astor.
But Americans do not attach im
portance to such trifles.
The.v know Lady Astor is iu politics
and must expect the common fate ot
politicians.
Thev know, too, that she-can take
care of herself.

ON IRELAND they don't go so fai as
manv of the English themselves.
The New Statesman, in the lntcbt
issue to reach this country, sn.s that
Ireland must have a free republic if
she wants it.
America docs not go thnt far.
Yet tilt idea is openl advocated on
the floor of Parliament, more purlieu -lailv
by fcBjsAabor members, who nrc
likely to control the next government
of Grent Britain.
Ireland, like Lady Astor, can take
care of herself.
Americans know it. and most Ameri
can demonstrations on the subject of
lieland have to do not with Ireland,
but with the Iilsh vote.
The eighty-eight members of Con
gress who sigued the latest telegram
to the British Government cared less
about the Irieh than theii own con
stitucnts.
Tho New Statesman shows how well
Ireland is taking enre of herself.
It is getting, snys tlie New States
man, so that Great Britain will soon
have to chooso between giving the Irish
whatever measure of freedom thev want,
even an Independent republican govern
ment, and exterminating them.
As exterminating the Iilsh is mil of
ihe question, Grent Britain will have
to free them.
The Sinn Feincrs have borrowed their
tactics from the militunt suffragists.
They nrc resisting authority with nil
their forte, hunger-striking when nr
rested nnd ndvertising evei v moment
England's failure to govern Iicluud.
A civilized nation ns sensitive to the
opinion of the world us England is nud
bus to bo cannot long keep up such a
Htiuggle. q q q

Hearst is n great statesman nnd" pure
minded pntrjot never stooping to the

'ihe Englishman of low class is much
lower than anything to be found in this
country; more ignorant, more preju

sponsive 'to demagogy than tho unedu
cated immigrant.
Such n paper as his .Tohu Bull would
not have n thousand readers iu America.
It is a political weekly for the un
educated, un appeal to prejudice; in
cvcr.v line, no pictures, uo fiction.
You could not make Americans of
an class, least of ull the ma-scs,
lead as much politics as Bottouiley
gives his readers.
The cheapest demagogue in the world,
he is n master of ndvertising, covering
