adjourned until Wednesday evening !
(18th) to give tbe tneoibtrs an op- j
portunity of participating in the
local elections-
Last week enow 6tornoB in the
west were accompanied by thunder
and lightning. The clerk of the
weather must have got mixed up in
his calculations.
Balloting for U. S. Senator in
the Legislature of Illinois was de
layed last week by a large number
of members not being able to reach
Springfield on account of snow
bound trains.
The annual encampment of the
U. A. R. was held at Harrisburg
last week. Over tight hundred dele
gates were present. Col. Austin
Curtin, of Center County, was
elected Commander.
The Democratic statesmen who
have been so strenuout-ly urging up
on Mr. Cleveland the selection of
"favorite eons'' for his cabinet, have
about come to the conclusion that
tbe tail can't wag the dog.
Resirkectiox day has arrived for
the fossil Democrats. All the old
mummies tbat have been interred
lor nges, are toddling towards Wash
ington, listening engerly for the
sound of Gabriel Cleveland' trump.
The Committees of both branches
of the Legislature have agreed upon
Congressional Apportionment bills.
Both bills give the Republicans 19
and the Democrats 9 districts. This
district i left as it is, except that
its) number is chauged from Seven
teenth to Nineteenth.
PittB( rgk bus secured from
Congress an appropriation of $l,.r00,
000 for the new Pot-U.flice building.
This, with a couple of miiliun
dolhrs which will be expended on
her new Court House, will giye em
ployment to hundreds of workmen
for the next two or three years.
GovERSon Pattison is pouting
because the Senate refused to con
firm several of his nominees, and
refuses to nominate persons to fill
other vacancies. The Senate can
stand it if the Governor can, but this
child's play is rough on bis friends
who want the offices, and the inter
ests of the public suffer for lack of
proper officers. II ush, little baby,
don't you cry."
M R. Cleveland, having interview
ed scores of his leading partisans in
New York last week, has returned
home, locked his front door behind
him, and is attempting to adjust
and reconcile the conflicting views
that were whispered in his ears. To
select a cabinet, and formulate a
policy that wilt give general satis-'
faction to the jarring elements of
his party, is a herculean tas-k.
A hill, was introduced in the
House at Harrisburg last week, im
posing a penalty of not exceeding
ten years imprisonment at hard
Labor, and a fine not exceeding
$5000, for selling, transporting or
using dynamite for other than legit
imate purposes, also for contributing
to any dynamite fund, or for con
tributing for such fund. This looks
like business. New push things.
At a joint eessiou of the two
Houses of Congress on Wednesday
last, the Electoral vote of the States
was formally counted, by which it
appeared that Cleveland and Hen
dricks had 219 votes, and Blaine
and Logan 1S2 votes. Thus tbe
election formalities bave been closed,
and all that remains to be done is
the public inauguration of our new
servants on the 4th day of March
next Long live the Republic!
The allegation that about $10,000
is annually drawn from the State
Treasury, as extra compensation by
Judges while holding court outside
their own districts, has given rist to
much unfavorable comment, botli
in and out of the Legislature.
Judges receive stated annual sal
aries, and there is certainly no good
or even plausible reason why they
should be permitted to craw two
salaries.' . They should be allowed
every cent of additional expense in
curred by reason of their going out
of their dietrlcWtd hold courts, but
nothing more, as their entire time Is
paid for by their annual salaries.
This is the rule adopted by the
United States government in rela
tion to salaried officers, vid that it
should be pursued in this ( State
brooks no contradiction.
A bill- has been introduced into
the Senate by Mr. Wallace, . and
another in the lr ue by Mr. Hu
lings,to prevent discrimination in
freight charges by railroads. . They
are. Doth of them, long and specific.
and provide heavy penalties for vi
olations of their provisions. The
abuse of their power by railroads
hat become crying evil, and legis
lation, particularly on the subject
of discrimination, will appeal to
the sympathies of every class of
shippers. Railroads have it in their
power, and not on frequently exer-
cise their ability to make or unmake
manufacturers,-Tniirers and others!
along their lines, and even to affect
the entire commercial interists of
towns and cities, by a system of
tolls, rebates and discriminations,
based only the sweet will of their
managers. . So cross has become
this evil that reforjnatorv legklatic
is imperative! t demandedrit 1s 1
nidation
. . i
be hop!, therefore, that the
laiurewill t-ife hearty and active
support to the measures now pend
ing before them, for the prevention
of discriininationpAnd the people
should watch carefully tbe action
of their representative on Ihis vital
subject, . .

they do pretest iam much.- Business
was never so backward so near the
end of a sessionfana apparently no
effort is being made to pusn it.
While Democratic leaders are buBily
protesting that there will be no ex
tra session, the journals ot that
party are charging upon the Repub
licans that they are trying to force
one; all of which means, if we are
not mistaken, that an extra session
has been determined on, and' the
blame is to be placed, if possible on
the shoulders of the Republicans.
The imbecility of this little plot is
very transparent to those who re
member that tbe Democrats bave a
majority of more than seventy in
the House, and that Mr. Randall
almost absolutely controls legislation
in that body. The triumphant par
ty that has just won the government
is too 'cowardly to assume responsi
bility lor its own actions.
A bill has been introduced in the
Legislature at Harrisburg providing
for the periodical investigation of
all banking institutions in the State.
That this is a good movement, will
be granted by all who have given
the slightest attention to the conduct
of these institutions having charge
of the money of others. The safety
of stockholders and depositors de-
mands that all institutions of a fidu-
ciary character should be subjected
to examination by some disinterest
ed person once at least, or oftener,
every year. It is true that this
would add some labor to the officers
or owners of these banks or bank
ing houses, but it would have the
effect of giving standing and charac
ter to those that areEolid and prop
erly conducted, while it would weed
out or expose those that are weak
or shaky, while at the same time it
would immensely relieve from acx-
iety the entire community ..oiug
business with them.
There are several hundred State
banks and private banking institu
tions in this Commonwealth, and
the general public, whose money ;
they handle or have on deposit,
know absolutely nothing about
them. It is true that the State banks
make a report to the Auditor Gener
al annually, from which report their
basis of taxation is ascertained, but
this is simply their own statement,
the truth or falseness of which there
is no way ot authenticating, and in
view of the constantly recurring
failures, and the absconding of the
officers of these institutions, but lit
tle reliance is apparently to be
placed in them: moreover, the pri
vate banks, which carry large depos
its of the people's monev, are almost
without legal responsibility to any
one, l here is every reason wny w e
should have inthis State a system
of bank inspection, similar to that
which the National banking laws
provide, and we hope the bill now
before the Legislature, or one akin
to it, will pA-se 1. The interests
and the safety of the people de
mand it, and it is largely in the
interests of all sound and well con
ducted banking institution, that
their depositors shall feel that they
are at all times open to inspection,
by the proper State authority.
As a result of the active work of
the temperance women of this State,
a bill was passed in the Senate last
week requiring that physiology and
hygiene shall be taught in all tbe
public schools, while in the House
a similar measure was debated and
temporarily postponed.
Tbe object hoped to be obtained
by this measure is a good one. It
is sentimental, however, rather than
practical, and while in our judg
ment, will effect but little good, will
certainly do no hatm. Physiology
is generally taught in all our schools
of the higher grades, and doubtless
a knowledge of the structure of our
bodies is vf great i'ulufi.Acd a neces
sary ortioo of a general education,
but the compulsory teaching of it
in all our schools, particularly those
of lower grade, will interfere with
other more essential studies, and
certainly wt 1 be of little or no ad
vantage to those who are studying
the rudimentary branches. It is
'Temperance Hygiene." however,
upon which particular stress is laid,
and the teaching of which in all
schools is the primary object of the
goodladus playing lor this legisla
tion, ilow many teachers are pre
pared to impart instruction on this
subject" Will not avast majority
have to be taught Iwforc attempting'
to teach? And when taught how
many of the youths attending our
public schools will profit by in
struction regarding the laws of
health ? What parent has not bad
manifold troubhs with children
regarding the observation of the
commonest Tules for the preservation
of their 'health, 'and how much
more will they be impressed with
instruction or warning, or examples
gleaned from their book? Take
he tobacco habit, for instance, what
have precept and warning of its
pernicious effects, accomplished tow
ards eradicating the evil? The idea
of teaching physiology and hygiene
is a good ofie7TifjdlrJe"Dbject aimed
at is commendable, but we rreallv
doubt the propriety and the utility
of legislating these studies into all
our schools. As branches of a more
advanced coius&lbaAjujtommonly
taught in our country schools, they
an Ji.irable, ., but their oobb-
pqleory leaching in all oar schools
toUs,v we - believe,' a measure that
LegiB-jihould be carefully
considered
before ti e attempt is made to en
force it by statute.

A LATER DISPATCH.
Philadelphia, Feb. 12. Eigh
teen raving maniacs were burned to
death in the insane department at
the Blockley almshouse on the west
side of the Schuylkill river to-night
in a conflagration which needed
nothing to make the most - horrible
disaster of tbe kind ever known in
the history of tbe city. - The bre
originated in the wing of the old
building of the insane department
of Blockley which- fronts towards
the Schuylkill river and dirc-ctiy
east of tbe main building of the
almshouse. This wine is 115 feet
iront and 60 feet deep, connected on
tbe south with the main building of
tbe old structure of the insane de
partment which runs south 400 ftt
a smaller wing to the one in which
the disaster occurred. In this north
building where the fire broke out
there were sixty separate cells tor
violent patients, twenty on each
floor. In oddition to this there was
a large room on -each -rrf -the three
floors in which cots for twelve men
were placed, and all of which were
occupied when the fire broke out
On the second floor opposite' the
central cell of the row of separate
cells on the north side of the corri
dor which runs from east to west
was a dry room heated by steam.
This room which was about ten feet
square, was directly along side the
middle stairway leading to tne noors
and below. Here the flames origi
nated, but from what cause is
nrt known. At the time there were
insane patients in each of the twen'y
cells on the three floors ten in the
large room on the first floor and
twelve in each of the larger floors.
From all the conflicting accounts
to be obtained it appears pretty cer
tain that the first alarm was given
bv an insane patient on the first floor
of the main building. This man.' Jo
seph Nadice, occupied a room which
adjoined the stairway and drying
room with about twenty other quiet
patients. When about ten minutes
to eight o'clock he saw smoke issu
ing from above the door which open
ed into the wing in which the cell
were situated, he ran to tne big iron
grated door fronting on the main cor
ridor of the building and cried oui
"fire." This fearful Bound reached
the ears of Joseph Shroeder, the at
tendant of the ground floor,who was
in his room directly opposite the
one from which Nadine had given
the alarm. Mrs. Umpstead, who
has general charge at night, says
that it was about 8 o'clock when
the alarm reached her. She was
in her office about 200 feet from the
dry room and at once hurried to tbe
scene.' She says that i.n attempt
was made to put out names with
buckets of water and at first it was
supposed that the flames were only
burning from the ground noor near
the stairway, but in almost an in
stant it was found that the real
point from which the danger came
was on the second floor at the top of
and above the dry room. ' She then
hastened to get all the patients from
the main building extending back
from the east wing , '
Attendant Shroeder takes or the
thread of the story at this point and
thus relates some of the horrors of
the dreadful night. "I do not know
who sounded the alarm. As soon
as I heard Nadine'h .cry I rushed to
the foot ot the stairway and after a
short, attempt ' to check the fire at
once set to work to get out the pa
tients. FirsTTTrnToTSke-fTTbe dour
of the room' in '" whielf' Nadine' and
his companions wer Tnev ran
out at once. By this time tbe flames
were gathering in a' fury and the
dense volumes of smoke were ascen
ding into the upper stories. I suc
ceeded in unlocking the doors of all
the cells on the first floor and al
though with difficulty in some sases
in getting all the inmates out. I had
no time to look after them further
than to run tbem out into the yard,
for the flames were getting so fit-rce
that it was almost impossible t
breathe in the now fiercely burning
building. The smoke in the upuer
storieswasso thick that breathing
was impossible."
