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.

CORPORATION TAX.
A Pt Fight Promised on tlie Bill
Providing for It.
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

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

stopping at principal stations. The return
coupons will be valid for passage on any
regular train within tbe return limit except
