Thk grain crop this year is about 1 K), CMOWO bushel lew than ISS'.MH). This means taat much less freight for the rail roads, but the great shipments of 1890 were not due to the crops, but to general business, and each year sees the crops of less relative importance to the railroad. A single big B .-swmer plant calls for the movement of as much freight as a big grain State. Sowk idea of the immense transporta tion facilities of the Coiled States can be gained by the tct that the Baldwin Lo comotive Works in Philadelphia turned out on an average three locomotives a lay during last year. Thetse engines arc worth f IS. two eack, and represent the output of but one among a sore of prom inent shops, a very smsll percentage of the machines mannfactured going to for eign countries. A New York organ Ui ms that "Demo crats have been luckient when they nominated bachelor candidates for Presi dent." It illustrates by naming Buchan an, Tilden and Cleveland. It was under Buchanan that treason was inaugurated. Tilden failed to get there, and Cleveland was the most abject failure until he got a good wife. It is dirticult to see any argu ment in the cases mentioned favoring "bachelor nominations." It seems nesMry, exclaims the Chi cago .Vir, to again call attention to the fact that the much-abused word "cloture' w hich Congressmen so delight in otter ing with an infinite variety of accents, Dfirj nothing more or less than the "previous question.'' The word is an un necessary importation from the French, and is almost synonymous with the Kng lish "closure." The demand for tits pre vious question and the stifling cr "clos ure" of fnulier debate is all that is meant by the mysterious Gallic terra. Tits Baltimore Auirrutin well says: " nr friends the enemy are still striving to show w hat a terrible thing the new tans' bill is. but the country is far better off than it ever was, audall those pre dicted misfortunes have failed to mater ialize." But in view of the fail that the IViaocratic press all over the land proph nied disaster and hard times, it is won derful that so little evil has resulted. Never before has a partisan press been so united aad determined to bring politi cal sticcetw through the medium of finan cial disaster to the people at large.

If he lives to serve out the term for which be was elected last week he w ill have been in the Senate twenty years, which, added to the eighteen years served in the same body by his father, will make thirty- eight years of service by f itlier and son in the highest house of Congress an in rident in service not on record in anv State in his country.

Troms PiaT Cnrresonm iu tb nmrurgh t'onunrreial CUrette. lhiiuw'Bu. Pa., Jan. 25. -Th railroads and tbe State Grange have asked an early beanng on the bill agreed on by a majority of tbe State r.evenue Commission and pre sented in the House by Mr. Taggart, a member of the commission and of tbe State Granpe. The railroads will Laterally oppose tbe bill and the corporations generally will not lavor it, though the pnncil opposition will nome (mm thai ctw of oorrorat ions de scribed as traiieportaliou and transmission companies, including railroad, canal, tele graph, telephone and pipe-line coroiaoies. These will have influential support from leaders in both parties who are opposed to taxing these concerns for local purposes on tue main ground that they are not of a local character. Hon. 8. U. Wherry, of Cumberland, a member of tbe com minion and a Demo cratic leader, is opposed to this portion of the bill, although be signed the majority re port. His reason for doing so is that be did not wish it to appear that the commission was hopelessly divided. Had he refused to there could have been no nisjonty report, as his signature made tbe bare majority. Tbe other gentlemen who signed the report are Lsonard Boone, Master of the State Grange; Wm. Martin, representing tbe labor interests; Giles I). Trice, representing tbe County Cjrnniissioners' Association, and Austin L. Taggart, representing tbe financial and mercantile interests officially, though in re ality, like Mr. Bbone, representing the State Grange. TTIE MT'ETTE'W. Auditor-General Mcf'amant and Messrs. Wright and Police are tbe gentlemen who dissent from the msjority p-port for varions reasons, but Mr. McCamanfs objections, owing to his olticial position -and tbe wide knowledge of his familiarity of revenue rant ters, will undoubtedly have more weight with the legislature than tbe objections of tbe other two, whose opinions will be mostly valuable in support of his where they ajree. There will be other objections to tbe taxing of transportation and transmission compa nies other than tbe one eta led and the ob jections of interested parties. A leading one will be that the tax will mostly benefit those Idealities that need it least. ' Philadelphia and Pittsburgh would be principal beneficia ries owing to the immense aiileage of the railways within their territories. Dauphin I and tancavter are fairer samples of tbe rich farming counties that would be benefited by their sujierior mileage of railways. Many counties have but a single track running through them from end to end, w hile the mileage in these two would amount to three or four Miigle track. A way out of the dilliculty is suggested in a proposition to as sess each railroad or other transportation or transmission company as a whole, and give eacb county through which il passes a share proportioned to its population. The pro visions of the bill have been fully published in the Cuiiimrrcial (Jnzrtir. I STENT Or THE MIL. In brief, it is framed not to provide new revenues for the State, but to relieve the various local taxing boiiies and committees of tbe excessive btrdens on real estate by making everything now taxed exclusively for State purposes subject as well to local taxa tion with the important addition of impos ing an income tax, which latter will be bit terly opposed. Tbe Iriends of this change in the revenue laws of the Commonwealth urge that corporations and personal proper ty do not bear their just proportion of the public burdens in paying only about 10 per cent, of the taxes levied for local and State puroses They show that while the State's total revenue from its subjects of taxation amounts to not quite $7,0(.i,ioo a year, the burden borne by real estate and other sub jects of local taxation is about 1,500,000, which does not include taxes levied for road, city and borough purposes, nor for the sup port of the poor, who are a separate charge on a district THE rKESEST TAX BEYEM'E. The argument, however, is best represent ed in the statement that corporate property and money at interest, valued at $l.4.1J,t)0,. OOi, pays the State but $4,;iO,O00 in taxes, while roerty assessed at tl,!i;4,.)O0,00t pays $J4,5(X,IHX taxes. On the other side it is a r gued that it is unfair to reckon this corpo rate property at par, much of it being be low, and a great deal of it absolutely worth less. It is also pointed out that corpora tions pay taxes on real estate for local pur poses, including transportation and trans mission companies, which are assessed for all real estate not actually necessary and in use for the conduct of lUeir business, and that the amount so paid is no inconsidera ble iteur. A plan most frequently slighted by those opposed to the present bill, as a whole, is that to relieve local burdens li cense fne and all similar aessm?uta of a local character, including personal property taxes, be released entirely from State use fur purposes of local revenue in additiou to tliu present plan of using surplus State revenue for iiirnasirg the uroutinls appropriated to local ohjn-t. such as rbaritit-s. schools, tbe care of the indigent, insane, etc. Senatorial Elections. From the fhioago Inter uctan. Just now the order of legislative business is the election of Fnited htates Senators. Tuesday there was balloting all along the line in the separate branches of the several legislatures, and yesterday the joint meet ings and balloting occurred. In nioat caaca one rote only was necessary, but Illinois was an exception to the rule, as everybody expected it would be. The republicans all swung into line fr Governor Oglesby, the Democrats for Gover nor Palmer, and tbe three F. M. B. .U sup ported A. J. Streetor. No bitterness was shown, nor any disposition to yield a point So long as the three parties present each a solid front there will be no election. There seems to be no disposition on the art of either of the two great parties to go over to tbe third party. Governor Palmer bad P't votes, liovernor Oglesby 100, but neither the loo nor the P1 could be thrown for some mere nonentity. The contest is so very close that each party feels that it can win next time, and. as a consequence, both would prefer to leave the ile'dlock unbroken to breaking it with a political cipher. The Republicans seem united in this, that they will adhere to Governor Oglesby to tbe end, unless there is definite reason to suppose that he could not be elected and some other candidate could be. Tbe most notable election was that of Governor Hill, of New York. He goes to Washington an undisguised and prominent candidate for the Presidency. He has the machine behind him. New York State and City, and can bold his grip in Washington as wall as In Albany, and now he will seek to cultivate tbe leader.- of the party at tbe National Capitol. At one time C rover Cleve land's backers thought it would be good politics to shelve Hill by putting him in the Senate, but it is not at all sure that it will work that way. On the contrary, the good politics was the aourptance of tbe transfer on Hill's part. II now puts himself in close aftiliation with Gorman, Brior, Carlisle. and the rebel brigadiers iu both branches of Congress. He can play the Absalom safely and from tbe best possible coigne of vantage. Yesterday was not a red-letter day with ex-President Cleveland. Tbe most prominent Republican elected yesterday was Don Cameion. As usual there was some Mugwumpish growling at the Clan Cameron. The same sort of hos tility that dogged the heels of Simon pnr, is still on the track of Don, pit, now as always with more strength of lungs than sharpness of teeth. Senators Teller, of Colorado, and Mitchell, at Oregon, both Republicans, were re-elected without substantial opposition, and so was Yoorbees, of Indiana. That tower of J de mocracy wHi contiiuur to stand in the Senate foursquare toaH the blasts of Republican Ism another six years. No one disputed his right to be retained. Vest, of Missouri, one of the brainiest Democrats of the Senate, was re-elected without a struggle ; as was Senator Jones, of Arkansas. Senator ance, of North Carolina, may have been at one time in danger from the farmer movement, but he escaped tbe Jatc of Wade Hampton, ao'l came in an eay winner. Stnator Piatt, of Connecticut, had no op position in his own party, and was re-elected-Senators Moody, of .South Dakota, and Fierce, of North Dakota, are finding their path to a re-election somewhat rocky. The vote yesterday in South Dakota stood: Moody, 76 ; Tripp, 21 ; Harden 3). In North Dakota, Pierce 17; Hansbroogh, 13 : Miller, i 2 ; P.all. 7 ; M inor, V Lonsberry, ; McCor mii t;. Senator Squires, of Washington, was re elected. H was hard pressed earlier in the race by W. II. Calkins, formerly Congress man from Indiana, but the latter was. made an impossibility by a somewhat dramatic charge of attempted bribery in bis interest. The Kansas figbt is still undecided and in decisive. Harrisburg Letter. HABusBL-aG, Pa., Jan. 24th. EoiToa Herald: The most eventful day of the legislative session of 101 has come and gone. Tbe various delegations intending to be present to participate in the inaugural ceremonies began pouring into the city early on Mon day, so that by Monday evening the hotels and boarding bouses were filled to overflow ing. Tbe street parade was moving at 8 o'clock a. m., and in size and regularity of move ment did credit to tbe persons having this part of the display under their management Leng before the noon hour, crowds of people bej-ao massing in front of the Capitol build ing, where the ceremonies were to take place. Promptly at 12 m , both Houses of the Leg islature adjourned and the members filed out through the rotunda and took a position as near tbe Steakers' stand as possible. When all was in readiness, Lieutenant Gov ernor Davies introduced the Rev. Dr. Swal low, of Harrisburg, who at once began the oeuiiig prayer. Following the prayer was the administration of the oath of office by Chief Justice Paxton. The oath was taken upon a small.'ilt-edged Bible, which the Governor pressed to bis lips and then laid upon a table. Then Lieutenant Governor Davies proclaimed Robert E. Pattison Gov ernor of the Commonwealth of Pennsylva nia, aud the newly qualified Governor began his Inaugural Address, iu which was a brief outline of the policy be expects to pursue during his administration. Tbe address was read from manusciipt, and occupied in its delivery about 4" minutes. The display of iirevorks In the public square in the evening was grand beyond de scription, and brought into Market and Sec ond streets a su'Hcient number of spectators to shut off all travel while the exhibition lasted. At K o'clock p. m. both Houses met in their respective halls to elect a I'nited States Senator to succeed J. Don Cameron, whose terra will expire March 4, 1$U. Krer since the adjournment, week before last, the Dem ocratic members have been working and hoping to secure a deadlock, whereby the election of the Kepublican nominee, Mr. Cameron, oa tbe final ballot might be pre vented. To accomplish this work they called into service Leonard Rhone, a full fledged Democrat, who is, however, Master of tbe State Grange. His band in the matter was uncovered by the Master of some local Grange inadvertently placing the printed circulars sent to tbe Grangers of tbe State in the envelope containing the printed instruc tions to bis representatives to vote for Aus tin L. Taggart. These circulars were sent to Kepublican members only, in tbe hope that a sufficient number might be induced to bolt tbe Kepublican nomination and create a deadlock, in which event the Democratic leaders proposed to show that their candi date, Chauncey F. Black, possessed all the elements necessary to satisfy the demands of Pennsylvania farmers for representation in tbe I'nited States Senate, and thereby secure for him the support of the bolting Republi cans. The fact that R. H. Thomas, Secretary of tbe State Grange, who is a Republican, took no stock in the matter, caused Repub lican members to look upon it as a stroke of Democratic policy that augured no good to the Republican cause. Had Mr. Taggart begun his fight in time to come before tbe Republican caucus for nomination, there is no doubt but that every member of the Grange, as well as many others not members of tbe order, would bave been ready to give him their hearty support; but the principle that a majority rule is essential to the safety of republican government is too well settled in the minds of all men competent to legislate for the people to iermit them to go against a nomi nation that is fairly made in an open meet ing, where all parties interested bave a chance to be heard. In the Senate tbe vote for I'nited States Senator was a strict larty voti, every lie publican member voting for tbe regular nominee, and but one Democrat failing to show the same loyalty to bis party. In the House every Democratic member voted for Black, and of the eleven Republicans who bolted the nomination, seven voted forTsg gait, three for Dr. Flood, of Crawford coun ty, and one for General Harry White, of Indiana. ne of tbe events of the day was the pres entation by tbe Chief Clerk of the Senate to the retiring Lieutenant Governor of a silver bound and handsomely engraved ivory gavel. The presentation speech on behalf of Clerk Smiley was by Senator Gobin, of Lebanon, who referred to ihe very satisfac tory manner in which Mr. Davies bsd dis charged the duties of his office, notirg par ticularly the fart that during the four years be occupied the president's chair not asingle appeal bad been taken from any of bis de cisions. Mr. Davies was almost too much overcome by emotion to reply, but after several moments' pause he secured sufficient control of bis voice to express bis high ap preciation of the courtesy bestowed upon him and tbe kindly feeling be entertained for every member of the body over which it had been his good fortune to preside since the beginning of tbe session of 1887. The Speaker of the House announced his committees on Wsdnesdsy. Somerset coun ty's share of committee work in the House during tbe session will be as follows) On Judiciary Local, Federal Relations, Labor and Industry, Legislative Apportionment, and Library E. I). Miller. On Agriculture, Education, Judicial Apportionment, Public Health and Sanitation, and Vice and Im morality J. C. Weller. The Senate commit tees have not yet been announced. At tbe present writing everything on the Hill is quiet. The Senate adjourned oa Wednesday, tbe 21st, and tbe House one day lster, to meet on Monday evening, the 20th. Nearly all the members bave gone home and scarcely any one is to be seen about tbe Capitol except tbe heads of de partments and department employee. Secretary Rusk's Crop Report. The crop report issued yesterday by Secre tary Rusk shows the winter grain to be in excellent condition. The statistics for Penn sylvania are as follows : The fall was one of unusual moisture, September, October, and the early part of November were characterised by compara tively little sunshine. The climatic condi tions seem to bave favored some peculiar! v unfavorable conditions of wheat and rye. In per cent, of tbe wheat growing area from which reports are received wheat sown before September 2th showed a fine growth, but about tbe middle of October it begnn to turn yellow in the lower leaves. Some at tribute it to the Hessian fly, some to insects at tbe root, and others to excessive moisture and lack of sunshine. But while tbe Htt. sian fly is reported as quite bad in some sec tions, this peculiar candilion was due neith er to rust, liy, or insect. Like tbe oat dis ease. was worse on wet lands than en dry; worse in early -sown fields and not apprecia ble on tbe late sown. Tbe plant has im proved in apjiearance during the but three weeks ; the stock is not so much affected, but the leaves are quite yellow. This ap pearance is not materially worse in oat stub ble than in wheat stubble on fallow lands. The Penneylvanla Ral'road Com- pany'e Tours to Washington, D. C. The first tour of tbe series over tbe Penn sylvania Railroad from Pittsburgh to tbe National Capital, left on Thursday last. Not only on accouot of the liberality of the rate, but also from the standpoint of special train servici, do these tours present rare opportunities to tbe people of this sec tion lo familiariH themselves with the city of the seat of government. Tbe dates frr the next two are fixed lor February Mb and March olh. Excursion tickets, good for ten days from dateorsale, admitting of a stop over in Bal timore in either direction within the proper limit, will be sold from Pittsburgh attfi.W, and at correspondingly low rates, from other stations in Western Pennsylvania. The tickets will be good for use on any regular train jf the dates above named, except limit ed express trains; and in addition to the regular service a special train of parlor cars and day coaches will leave Pittsburgh at 8.00 a. m , and run through to Washington, stopping at principal stations. The return coupons will be valid for passage on any regular train within tbe return limit except tbe Pennsylvania Limited. The rates are unusually low, and tbe lim-' ilatiou of the tickets ample for a most pleas urable trip. Vlck'e Floral Guide for 1891.
