the Propmitlonlo CoBudrron Sec

Mr. Colbobn said : I can Fee no
reason why this bill should cot be
taken up and considered on second
)eading now. The gentleman from
Venango Mr. Huron has adranc
whatever, and. Mr.
hieaker. I protwt against that side !
of the Hou?e
claiming that they
V
vossess all the wisdom, the virtue,
icnettv and prudence there are in
the world. Now, Mr. Speaker, H the
.bject if to hold this bill over the
Jlenublican fide of the House and
ovtr the Republican Senate as a
threat to compel us to do what we
llieve is wrong, they will hold ue
here until Gabriel's trumpet blows.
-Mr. Speaker, we are just as desirous
.f making a fair and honest appor
tionment as the gentlemen on the
other side of the House. Cries of
-oh! oh!" They can bawl let
thera howl ; we have heard them
liowl before ; we will l;ear them
liowl herealter.
Now, Mr. Speaker, there ia no ne
cessity of trying to shirk the respon
sibility, and we are willing to take
the responsibility. We are here in
the discharge of a duty under our
aths and the Constitution, and that
we propose to discharge as we un
derstand our duty and as we under
stand the obligation of our oaths ;
and we do not propose to be bull
dozed or coerced by the gentleman
from VtnangoMr. Hasson or any
body else. Now, Mr. Seaker, the
people will decide this question ; the
people will put the responsibility of
this extraordinary session upon the
party upon whom it should rest
It is all idle for us to talk about
tfcaping it It is all idle to talk
about holding this appropriation bill
over anybody as a threat; we are
jK-rfectly willing to stand upon the
record we have made and let it rest
with the judgment of the people; let
us meet the issue like men ; let us
tme up to an ultimatum ; let us
make our projosition the fairest
that we believe we are authorized to
make under our oaths and the Con
Hitution and upon that let us stand
nnd if we cannot agree let us quit
Kud go home like men, and our
constituents will thank us for it
Now, Mr. Speaker, we Itt-lieve we
we have now offered a fair, a just
nnd an honest apportionment of this
rotate into Congressional, Senatorial
und Representative districts. I
tpeak advisedly when Isav we have
offered the ultimatum. 1 say we
have offered all we can offer under
our oaths and under the Constitu
tion, and that is our ultimatum ; and
you may stay here month after
month ;"you may stay here until
next January or until next Decem
ber a year, and we do not propose to
be bulldozed or coerced by any
power that can be brought to bear
upon us. We know our duty ; wc
are going to jx-rforra our duty, and
we are not going to be driven oue
inch by any power upon this earth.
The people are behind us ; they are
not asleep. They are judging our
actions, and they are judging yours.
Let us go before the people and jus
tify our course if we can ; if we can
not, let us go down. If this side of
the House cannot justify its course
of procedure before the people, it
will go down, and it ought to go
down. Now, are we to stay here
week after week when there is noth
ing to do ? Are we to stay here in
the hope of receiving ten dollars a
day for the time we spend here and
waste, and worse than waste ? Why,
Mr. Speaker, the gentleman talks
about a fair apportionment Here
is a resolution that was agreed upon
by the conference committee:
u Rezohed, That in the apportion
ment of the Congressional districts
the average majority of the districts
of one party shall be as nearly equal
the average majority of those of the
other party as practicable " the
only resolution that was agreed to
in that conference committee.
Mr. Furth. Will the gentleman
read the next resolution ?
Mr. Col oorn. The next resolu
tion was not adopted. It was
offered
Mr. Furth. Why was it not
adopted ?
Mr. Colborn. Because it was
three to three (Laughter on the
Democratic side), but here is a reso
lution that was agreed to. Laugh as
long as you please. I say there were
a number of resolutions offered, the
vote on which stood three to three :
but liere is a resolution wlncn was !
offered and unanimously adopted j
by the conference committee. Under i
that resolution when you come to
figure to get the majority of the two
parties as nearly equal as possible,
what in the result ?
10 l)m dlniits rlre a Pea. mj. of 4.470
11 d Uriels a majority of 4w
li vlutrfts a majority of s.T;
J Kep. district will give a Rep. maj. of.....4.Mi
IT UturU-tsa aiaiority of 4.M6
It dlatrMe maj.irli'y of a, lot
Mr. Crawford. The gentleman
has made the assertion that he de
sires to live up to the Constitution.
I desire to ask bim whether he lias
read section 25, article 3, of the Con
stitution, which says that when
the General Assembly shall be con-
...... .i . -I .i
hall be no legislation upon snbjects
other than those designated in the
proclamation of the Governor calling
euch session."
Is he not asking the consideration
of a bill which the Constitution does
not permit us to consider at this
session, it not being designated as
one of the subjects of legislation in
the Governor's proclamation?
Mr. Colborn. When that consti
tutional question is ruled against us.
I will submit
' Mr. Crawford. This appropria
tion bill is not embraced in the Gov- i
ernor's proclamation. I
Mr. Colborn. I think it is as;
' clearly incidental to it by implica
tion as anything can be. Thegen
t'eman will hardly contend, I think,
that we could be convened in ex
traordinary session and kept here,
IKWsibly a year, and not have the
means of paying the officers and
employes of thia Legislature, even if
the members got nothing themselves.
Huch a proposition as that certainly
will not be assumed by my friend
from Philadelphia Mr. Crawford.
Mr. Crawford. No law can over
ride the Constitution. The Consti
tution says you shall not consider
any bill except what is embraced in
tho Governor proclamation, and I
eay the payment of the expenses of
this session is not a subject embraced
in trial proclamation, and the only
proper way is to to come in here two
years from now and pass an appro
priation bill
Mr. Colborn. Then the chairman
of the Committee on Appropriations
has made a great mistake that 6ide
of the House has made a great mis
takethat Bide of the House baa
made a great mistake, in framing an
Appropriation bill, introducing it
here, and advancing it to second
reading. But I say it is a proper
subject for consideration, and that it
ought to be considered now. Why
should we not consider this bill ?
Suppose that this morning we dis
pose of the Apportionment bills, are
we to remain here a week or ten
days, simply to consider this Appro
priation bill, when we have nothing
else in the world to do now, but to
consider it ? If it is ot just and
right in all its provisions, if it does
not provide money enough, or if it
provides too mucn, it can ve anienu-
jn a single moment
Now. it ia because I know that
these conference committees have
come to a final conclusion, and one
which I believe will never be
changed, that I urge the considera
tion of this bill in order that we may
get away. Will the gentlemen con
tend that we are Dound, because we
are convened in extraordinary ses
sion, t do that what whicn our
judgements tell us we ought not to
do? Will they attempt to impose up
on us what they are unwilling to
take upon themselves ? Do they al
low us no option in the premises
whatever? Will they not allow us to
think and act like men ? Do they
think we are dishonest in every move
we make ? A voice on the Democrat
ic side : "Yes."
Do they suppose we are here for
no other purpose than to retard leg
islation and prevent a proper appor
tionment of this State and deny the
people their rights ? voices on the
Democratic side : "Yes."
We, Mr. Speaker, will appeal to a
higher power than that 6ide of the
House ; we will gc to the tribunal
in whose hands all political power
is lodged, and the judgement of that
tribunal is almost always right We
are perfectly willing to meet it and
willing to meet it now, and I tell
you, Mr. Speaker, unless we pass this
bill and lix an early day for the ad
journment of this Legislature, the
reckoning will be fearful upon the
party that holds us here longer.
Laugh on the Democratic side.
Gentlemen may laugh ; they may
refuse to do anything ; they may
keep us here, but I say upon them
will be the responsibility. I repeat
that I speak advisedly when 1 say
that we have offered the best that
our judgments will allow us to offer
the other side of the House. We
have demonstrated by facts and
by fgures that our proposition is
fair, and we will undertake to con
vince the people of Pennsylvania that
it is fair, if, indeed, they are not con
vinced. We present a Congressional
Apportionment bill here that every
Senator in the other chamber, Re
publican as well as Democrat, voted
for, and yet it is refused here and 6aid
to be unfair. The other side will
not accept the child of their own be
cettinc. M r. 1 lasson. I will correct the gen
tleman by saying that every Senator
voted against it
Mr. Colborn. I will not take back
one word. I say that it is the bill
that every Senator that voted at all,
voted lor. hen it came up on
third reading on Tuesday, the Dem
ocratic members passed it with the
aid of four Republican members.
Subsequently, when it came up on
Thursday afternoon on final pas
sage, every Democrat voted against
it and the Republicans voted lor it
Every democrat voted against it;
Senator Yandergrift afterwards
changed his vote in order to pas3 it
When the bill was up for consid
eration in the Senate it was open to
amendments on the part of the Dem
ocrats, and the only respect in which
they wanted it amended was to keep
Seuator Gordon's district, and the
Republicans asked to have that
stricken out As Senator Wallace
said, the Democrats were in favor of
the bill, and there were four honora
ble exceptions upon the Republican
side who went with them and pass
ed the bill iust as the Democrats
wanted it
That is the kind of bill we present,
and yet the other side is unwilling
to accept it I say, will not the
world presume that that bill was fair?
(Voices on Democratic side : "No.")
Perhaps not, in your judgment but
we are perfectly willing to submit
to the people of Pennsylvania,
whether we have not acted fairly,
whether we have not done our duty
under the Constitution. If we have
prevented a fair apportionment of
the State if we have deprived the
people of their rights, the people will
condemn us, and will lustily you
and you ought not to complain of i
that hen we tell you in all sin
cerity that we have offered the best
we can offer, why not accept it and
appeal, as I say, to the judgement
of tne people, and let us go away
from here and stop spending the
peoples 's money foolishly ? We are
in favor of winding up this business
e are in favor of ending this ex
traordinary session, the end of which
might have been foreseen by any
reasonable-minded man before it
commenced just as plainly as it will
be seen if we remain here for six
months longer. I hope the House
will take up this bill and pass it
upon second reading this morning.

I
Man mm HoMekeeper.
Man is a creature that has always
elicited our unqualified admiration ;
he is in many capacities useful, and
by a judicious arrangement of blue
cloth and brass buttons, can often
be rendered to a certain decree or
namental. In the sphere of action
for which his many characteristics
qualify him, we accept him without
a murmur, but when it comes to
being foistered upon us as a house
keeper, we indignantly reject him.
We have wintered and summered
him in that capacity, and he is an
ignominious failure. For the orna
mental part of house keeping, he is
peculiarly unfitted ; his soul is clos
ed and his vision dim to the truly
beautiful. He 6corns bric-a-brac,
and is not susceptible to the enno
bling and refining influence of that
home angel, the tidy. Ji mere were
fifteen tidies on one chair he would
manage to crumble ten under him,
and get up with the rest on his back.
He is a sworn enemy to all decora
tive art, and if not watched will go
to bed on the pillow shams. He
pulls the bed clothes out by the
rooU when he gets up ; he leaves wa
ter in the wash bowl, and throws the
towels on the floor. He makes
hat rack out of the piano and ex
nects to find his slippers just where
he left them last week. His idea of
beintr comfortable is to throw open
every door and window in the house,
and, as to a becoming arrangement
of lights and shades, his mind is a
perfect blank. He was never known
to make a knot in a towel and chase
flies out of the room, and if he does
not see what he wants the minute he
opens the bureau drawer, he knows
it is not there, and you cannot con
vince him to the contrary. He lacks
adroitness, and always drags out the
weak lemred chair lor a visitor to sn
on. ins mma is noi minuie at. n.-

to the last slice of cake, with com

lor more, notwithstanding nis wne
was kicking his shins under the ta
ble and winking at him over it It
will readily be seen that he w, by
nature and education, totally dis
qualified to act as goddess of the
home. His occasional presence is
necessary to have him patronize the
deserving institution at least three
times a day, and it loots wen to ste
him sitting around in the evenings ,
but it would never do to leave him
in charge of the dearest spot on
earth. He would bankrupt domes
tic bliss in a week. Lei all who are
interested in the preservation and
maintenance of the fireside, humbly
petition a few able bodied, industn

Snperetttion About Thunder.
Almost all the tribes in the United
States believe the thunder to be
produced by the wings of a great
bird, and that the lightning was the
serpents that were invariably con
nected with the thunder bird
Among tbe ancient tribes of the
Mississippi valley the thunder, there
fore, soon became a thunder goa,
who could be propitiated with sac
rifice8. The Illinois Indians offered
up a small dog wheu a child hap
pened to be sick upon a day when
there was much thunder, supposing
the latter to be the cause of the rual
adv. Many incidents, like confia
stations, were attributed to this an
gry god, and some tribes did bloody
penance oi propuiauon, auer uuru
insr to death their own children
Statements that the Indians adored
the thunder, seem to be errone
ous. It was the cause of the thun
der that they worshipped, and before
which they burned tobacco and
buffalo meat, or cut off the joints of
their fingers, or threw their children
into the fire when they were over
come with fear. The Peruvians had
as an idol a stone which had been
split by the lightning. They offered
it cold and silver. The natives of
Honduras burned cotton-seed when
it thundered. Other tribes made
no sacrifices on the approach of a
storm, but abased themselves in ab
ject fear. The wild rice, being aquat
ic and looking like an arrow or
spear, it is also attributed to the
thunder spirit as its origin. In Mex
ico great temples were built upon
the sacred spots where lightning
had struck. A curious notion among
the Peruvians was that the preserv
ed bodies of twin children who died
in intancy should be worshipped
ail 1 1
supposing that one of them was the
son of the thunder, the origin of the
idea being the fact that the thunder
god of that people was one of tho ce
lestial twins of Apocatenuin and 11
querad. This tradition was utilized
by Pizzarro's missionaries to teach
the Indians the doctrine of the Trin
ty.
Messrs. Hiscox & Co. call specia
attention to the fact that after April
1G, 1883, the name and style of this
preparation will hereafter be simply
Parker Tonic. The word "Ginger"
is dropped, for the reason that n
principled dealers are constantly de
reiving their patrons by substituting
inferior preparations uuder the name
of Ginger; and as ginger is an un
important flavoring ingredient in
our Tonic, we are sure that our
friends will agree with U9 as to the
propriety of the chance. There will
be no change, however, in the prep,
aration lUell ; and all bottles re
maining in the hands of dealers
wrapped under the name of "Park
ek's Gixgkr Toxic," contain the gen
uine medicine if the signature of
H isc-ex & Co. is at the bottom of the
outside wrapper.

to visit other tanners, to learn, n
possible, easier or better methods of
farming or ol living. They need to
attend farmers conventions and

something to broaden or enlarge our

They need to learn and to realize

flies and insects thrive in all degrees

it profitable' to employ a higher
grade of laborers men who they

Wonderful llorsemanohip.
This morning I witnessed a won
erful display of horsemanship. It
took place in the Petroffsky Park.
Here, in the presence oi the orand
Duke Nicholas, and most of the for
eign officers and guests, the regiment
of Cassack Guards went through an
extraordinary series of exercises
which throw the most daring feats
of the cirous into the shade. The
entire regiment went past at full
gallop in loose order, with many of
the men standing upright in their
saddles, others upon their heads
with legs in air, many leaping on the
ground and then into the saddle
again at full speed, some springing
over the horses head and picking
up stones from the ground, and yet
regained their seats. While perform
ing these feats all were brandishing
their sabres and tiring pistols, throw-
ng their carbines into the air and
catching them again, and yelling
like maniacs. Some men went past
in pairs, standing with a leg on each
other's horses cne wild fellow car
ried off another dressed as a woman.
The effect of the scene was absolute-
v bewildering, and it seemed as il
the whole regiment had gone mad.
Upon a signal being given the regi
ment divided into two parts. One
rode off ; the other halted and made
their horses lie down on the ground
and lie beside them waiting, as in
war, the approach of an enemy. The
other section of the regiment then
charged down and in an instant
every horse was on his feet, every
rider in his saddle and with yells
they rode at their supposed enemy.
hen the tnanu-uvers were over tne
regiment rode past, singing, unom-
monly well to gather, a military
chorus. Altogether it was a marvel
ous exhibition of daring horseman
ship, and one hardly knew whether
to admire most the docility and rnet
el of the steeds, or the skill and
courage of their riders. All the for
eign officers and guests were no less
astonished than delighted. Mocou

Keeping a Cow.
"I can remember," says Henry
Ward Ileecher, "when I received an
old cow in payment of a bad debt.
It was a very bad debt and 1 came
to consider it a very bad payment.
She was a thin cow, but the former
owner said she was belter than she
looked, beine a cross between a J ersey
and the Durham. She looked as if
she might have been a cros between
an old hair trunk and an abandoned
hoop-skirt I kept the brute three
days and no one, except perhaps
Lieutenant Atwell, could ever appre
ciate the suffering I endured in that
time. The first night she broke
through the fence, and reduced to a
pulp all the under clothing belong
ing to my next door neighbor. She
put her horn through my bath tub,
and ate up all my geraniums. She
was to give three gallons of milk a
day, but she seemed to be short just
then, and never had that to spare
while we kept her. 1 he second day
she walked into the kitchen and up
set a pan of butter and a tub of lard.
Then she fell down a well, and when
got her out, at a cost of hve dol
lars, she took the colic, whooping
cough, or something, and kept us
awake all night. otagrecu tiling
was left in my garden j my neigh
bor came over to see rue, and said:
Now. I don't desire any quarrel, but
I want you to keep your cow out of
my shrubbery."
"And 1 want you my lnend, said
I. 'to keep your shrubbery out of mv
cow ; it spoils the taste of the milk.'"
"hver afterwards there was a cool
ness between us, and my neighbor's
wife ceased to patronize our bouse
when she wanted to borrov a cupful
of yeast powder."
Thb Beautiful Green Mf.m.on.
A beautiful tiling it wan, and right
green when young Mr. Green, who
went down to the cellar aout mid
night and ate nearly half of it. The
next day young Mr. Green said he
didn't want any breakfast, and he
thought he would not go to the
store. He wished lie hadn't seen
that watermellon. By the prompt
administration of Terry Davis's I'uin
Killer young Mr. Green 8 internal
economy was red iced to a state of
peace and poMforJt.. .
