WHAT THE STATE CONSTITUTION RE- QUIRED, By a izajority vote of more than 156.000 the people of Pennsylvania in 1873 aeclared their railroads and exnsls to be puplic highways, and re- qu.red the railroad and canal com- | paves to transport without delay or discria.ivation of soy kind, The con- soluiation of competing or parallel lives was forbidden, Common car- weetly or indirectly in the miviog or manufacture ol articles for trans. portation vver their works or from ac quiring the ownership of lands, The | C ns tation also prouibited the issue 01 stocks or bonds that did not repre- gent actos] eash investment, Officers of earryi & companies were not to be | permitied wo furnish supplies to or engage iu the busivess of transporta- | tion. over their own lines, and every eurporation was directed pot to en gn ce wn auy busivess other than that expressly su honized by its charter, Toe Geveral Assernbly was ordered to eniores these provisions by appropri- ate legislation, aud for the purpose of insuriog a strict compliance with its macdate the Constitution required that each legistator take sod oath, beginning as follows: I Jo sole mnly swear (or affirm) that I will support, obey and defend the Consaunon of the United States and the Constitution of this Com- meuweal b.

It is true that a bill was prepared entitled “A bill to regulate | the transportation of fright within | the State,” but instead of prohibiting discrimination the bill was altered so as to legalize discriminations and to allow unreasonable preferences to in- dividusls. It was to conflict with the State Constitution in eleven of its features, and it became a mockery of | the pledges that had been made to the { i , ple. THE OATH OF OFEICE. The railroad Senators wera unwile lig to bave these points d scoe- and applied the gag lays vigorously and effectually.

Here is another bold | Hepublican lie. “He vetoed the bill masking len | { hours a legal day's work for ail street. | car employes,” sys ths Inter Ocean. He vetoed no such bill. He vetoed a bill making its penal offense to employ men on certain street railroads mote than twelve hours a day, a bill which would have nulified the benefits which those employes received from | the eight-hour law already in efectin the State, which would have thrown many of these laborers out of employ- ment, and which would have cut down the wages of many others, by prevent. ing them from working, as they did, by the “trip.” Mr. Cleveland was ac- knowledged to be right when be de- clared that he could “not think this bill to be in the interest of the work iogmen,” The Albany Journal, an out-and-out Republican paper, which was enthusiastic in the cause of Blaine and Logan, said at the t'me of the passage of this measure. “The Senate, however, gave these matters closer investigation, nod, finding that in many respects the bills checked rather than advanced the cause of labor, declined to concur in them, Among these Measures was Mr. Earl's bill, fixing hours of labor for horse-car coudecrors. lo the Senate it was shown that the bill would by inoperative, sud was ac cordingly Jost.

BRICE THREATENS ARREST. | When fuller proofs shall have come | from Indisvapolie, Colosel Brice | nye be will make the closing days of | the campaign lively by having Colonel | Dudley arrested on a crimivel charge. | LOWS § COLONEL IRICT ATTORNEY FEI SAVE, District Attorney Fellows was ask- ing to do any. | thing in the matter. He said There are things to be considered | in the letter as published. In the first place, it clearly advises bribery in Indiana ; there is vo question about it. The means of bribery are nid down in detail, and nothing is left unsa’d. As far se that part of the letter is concerned 1 donot think anything can be done about it here. The remedy is, I thick, clearly with the Indiana suthorities. | am nat #0 thoroughly conversant with the United States laws as to say just how far they cover the case, but to the best of my memory the law whe provid- ed for the appoivtment of Davenport and the other Supervisors is sufficient to punish the writer of a letter of that sort. Io any ease, Isbould think that the postal luwe have been violat- ed by the mailing of the letter. The second part of the letier refers to this State. It plainly incites bloodshed, and I am very much inclined 10 think that the writers would come under the same law under which Herr Most was convicted. The letter very plain. ly advises people to commit crime, and in that respect comes under the State laws, DUDLEY'S LETTER TO BE DAILY PUB: LISHED, IxpiaxArolis, Nov. ~The Senti- nel this morning editorially announced that it will, despite Colonel Dudley's threat of publish his ter daily until the election.

Unles properly protected the iron and steel will rust and the wood-work decay. A good cost of paint should be given. It pays to keep the wool-work of all machinery we | painted. Livseed oil and Span- ish brown, red vermillion, red ochre, mixed to a proper conustency, will answer for all practical purnwes, and all the wood.work of the implements should be carefully paioted before puting away-—even the hoe and spade handles, and the hay and manure forks, will be the better of & good coai of peiot. Oil aids to preserve the wood, and if kept well painted with good oil paint will aid materially to pre vent accideots. Iron can be painted and will pre- vent rost if kept well covered. The working parts, such as the mould board snd shares of the plows, the spades, hoes, the shovels of the alti: vitors and the steel pointe of the drill flukes, should a!l be either well greased with unsalted grease or oil. and cnitivators ean ba paioted.
