CaLL an extra session of George Handy Smith. . -—— il of a House THE poor dey mes: senger is to be made the scape goat for the sins of George “Handley’ Smith. - Ler Gov.

The responsibility for its failure will not rest on lnm - - rn Asout the time the new revenue bill was to be signed George Smith wasn't Handy about the premises and the Gavetts calls him George Handley Smith. The Gazetfe man didn’t know any better but it might Faraway have called him George Smith with propriety i sla Ax extra session of any leg ture is something to be dreaded, an extra session of a Republican legislature is little short of torment. But it would be better for the peo- ple that even such a body as Col Ouay’s puppets should be convened than to let the great corporations escape two years without paying the money in mortgages. The® State said will get more revenue out of invested itself it is taxes on corporations under the act of 1885 than under that of 1887 but the counties will suffer. lid Tue Philadelphia Times is getting up a regular cld-fashioned Fourth of July celebration and is meeting with a hearty response from the leading men of the city. Thegrand natal day of the nation is fast grow- ing out of the memory of the pres- ent generation, and the children of to-day have not the remotest ides of the way it used to be celebrated. In our boyhood it was the greatest day of the year and was looked: for- rard to with great pleasure. It is the one truly great national day of observance with its Americans and its should national character and importance - PHILADELPHIA is 1 vated railway and a party of gen tiemen with John Wannamaker at its head, has been granted a charter. The capital stock is $5,000,000 and they have about $30,000,000 back of them, Rapid transit has be. come an actual necessity with Philadelphians as so many live out in the suburbs and the only means of transit for thousands is the street car which is very slow and particu. larly so in the mornings and eve nings when they are crowded with people going to and coming from their work. It will bea great boon for the city and will give her the greatest facilities for local travel of and city in the country, be commensurate have an ele” A Dead Snake. | Some one connected with the William's Grove picnic concern had a nice little scheme by which to get $5000 of the States money | with giving “value received,” the | | bill passed both branches of the | | legislature and the innocent little | 10 | “snake” came up smiling before | i Gov.

So far as 1 and the gentlemen operating with me in Pennsylvania politics are cone cerned, we have made up our minds that the Su preme Court of the State is the bulwark of the corporations and we have determined to change its com: position as rapidly as possible. We want a court that will now and then decide in favor of the State and agaimst the corporations. Two votes will do it, one this vear and one the next. We are determined to make the corporations pay the State tax, leaving the people to stand the burden of their local taxa. tion. The decision of the Supreme Court in Foxe's appeal relieved corporations of the tax on personal property. The revenue act which has fallen was intended to protect the tax-payers of the Common wealth against the decisions of the Supreme Court, and it failed for reasons already given to the public and it is very possible through sinister influences, CO These are certainly brave words and to the point. The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania has been so far as its Republican membership bulwark of the corporations” and it is time that the people were awaking to a prop- er realization of that fact. The Democratic members of the Court are honest, fearless and able men and have ever been recorded on the side of justice and the people, The administration of justice be- tween the state, its people, and the great corporations is in the hands of the Republican party, they can elect whom they please but they should pause long e're they pt another corporation Judge on the Supreme bench, It is not a non. partisan judiciary that the people want so much as a pon<orporation # is concerned “the ich per head for every person | | cratic party will nominate none but | broad : cloak of the State Grange three or offi- | same time the | and infi- | Lech | | judiciary, The Democratic party | will nominate its ablest lawyer if it | is wise and no man identified with corporations will be likely to apply not that a corporation lawyer will not make a good judge, but it will | not be the policy of the party to The which ] | nominate that kind of a man | same “sinister influences” i I nullified the new revenue bill will likely enough dictate the Republi Senator hi may of enormities ican nomination unless Ouav honestly calls a halt on The | show that the eves of all classes the { party. next election voters are open to committed by corporations and cor- But | SenatorOuay says stand between the poration courts tWO votes as | people and a proper administration Mon- | day and Gordon goes out next year lof justice.
