It does not displace the Slate election of-0:-ers or the State electoral .machinery, or interfere in any way with Slate otlicials In the performance of their lawful duties.

"Let the bill be so amended," -aid the objecting im ber. "as to give the woman a lien upon hei srnik also, and I will give it my fr.pport." A ijuesiion that daily prows in i:itiritt arajr.g the member of the House, is ti e loss of Representatives that must be sustain ed hy some of the counties iu making the new apportionment. This question, while interesting to a'.!, is socially solo the aewly elected members from counties having more than one Representative, and it is r.o uu tisual thing to see fU'-h members during the hours of recess seated in some quiet nook or corner, intently rttidyiug tables of the lat census. Somerset is one of thecouuties that stands a good chance of losing a Represen tative in the next legislature, and her mem bers are wide awake to see that their county shall hive fair play, and that if a Represen tative ix lost, it shall not be on account of any inattention on Urt-ir part. A bill presented by Seuator Woods, of Mifflin county, providing that fke money expended by the several counties of the Commonwealth in repairing bridge destroy ed by the 'floods of Iis, shall be paid into the county treasuries by the Siate, is looked upon with favor by all the Representatives of counties lying along the valley of the Ju niata. Such a measuie, if passed, will prove quiie an advantage to Somerset county, and your representatives in both the Iioue and the Senate are carefully watching its pro gress. The many applications received by Rej resentatives for the Ornithological Report of the State Itoard of Agriculture, commonly known as the "Bird Book," give rise to a great deal of merriment. These applications are daily pouring in, the new members get ting about as many such applications as the old. In a number of instunees tbestateaitnt is made that the parties had applied to the members here last session and were re ferred to the new members, showing a dis iosition to shift the responsibility and place it where it does not belonir. The appropria tion for the edition of the "Bird Book" re cently published a as made at the last ses sion, and the books have gene into the hands of the members making the appropri ation, so that the burden placed upon new nii'inbers of answering these many applicants and exp'aining their inability to rwspond, is becoming one of the standing jokes of the ses-ion. The new fiovernor already shows his dis position to maintain the repu'ation he gained during his former term of seivi'-e, by the fnquent u?-e of the veto rower. Among his vetoes thus far, is one expressing I.is disapproval of the concurrent resolution in slr.ictii'g the I . S. Senators from Pennsyl vania to ne all honorable efforts to secure the passage of the Federal Blectious bill now pending in Congress. The message of disap proval shows the inconsistency so often noticeable in vetoes that are purely partisan in their purpose. The platform upon which the Governor was elected made a declaration in favor of fair and honest elections, and the principal lemoL-rctic eakers (includ ing himself) during the campaign insisted upon the evasion oi every irue itsue, mat they might air themselves upon this ques tion, and that he should cow set himself ir. opsjsition to granting to t!;e cit:z?'.s of all the States the rieh boon of hlessi:;g he and his political friends so recently heid up as the one thing most needed by the freemen of Pennsylvania, is a thing hard to under stand, unless it is set down as a consummate piece of dema -guif m.

The in creasing demand for word, thoupu still cjafined to actual need for consumption, Iroves that the current prices, low as they are, do notarret production." Upon which the Pittsburgh i'omnu rrinl Ihiziilr nays: "This must lie very confusing to the free traders, who have been steadily and stoutly maintaining that woolen goods had gone op in price and would continue to increae an a result of the tariff.

The people, many of them, were needlessly disturbed last fall over the gloomy predictions concerning the effect of the McKinley act, but if they only have the pp.ticnce to wait until the legitimate fruilsof the law arc fully man ifested they will lie more than satisfied." The decision cf the House Committee on Territories to report favorably a bill providing for the opening of the "Cher okee Slrip" to homestead entries is very important. Negotiation in regird to this strip have been jroiitg on for some tiite, and there is a gnat pressure on the borders cf the strip already, which will certainly increase to the breaking jwint as soon ns spring comes. This Cherokee strip is the long tract of land reaching from east to west along the northern border cf the Indian Terri tory to "No man's laud." The Cherokees leaned it for years to cattle companies aud derived some revi-titip fro:i: the lease. This state of thins conld not emitiroe, and the government's projiosition to buy the strip at f 1 I'l per acre has been under consideration for some time. There were some opposition bids from the cattle companies, w ho did not like to lne a profitable lease, but the govern ment has the prior ri:ht, and its propo rtion 'm a fair one. If the bill is p.tFscd liefore the adjournment of Congreos the ntrip may lie opened this spring, and the Territory of 'klahoma w ill receive a sub stantial addition in area, resources and population.

We are able, however, to gather up here and there an item that may serve to let your readers know that your correspond ent is yet alive and endeavoring to keep you posted on tuch matters as are likely most to interest them. Rev. Sam Small's lecture in the newOjiera House on Sunday afternoon was an event looked farwaid to with much interest by many iersuns who had heard of the style of the noled Georgian preacher, but bad never ei.joyed the opportunity of hearing him. The house, which is capable of seating about 1.40H iiersons, was ulied to its utmost capac ity, and there was a premium on standing room. The personal apiearanee of the speaker was a surprise to the writer, who had pictured him as a shirt, heavy-set. black haired, dark-complexioned man. The reverse in almost every respect proved true. He is a lightly built man, about C feet high, and weighing possibly 1'iU pounds. He is a natural orator, being able to move from the thelic to the humorous so quickly as to have many persons 13 his audience in convulsions of laughter, while tears were yet streaming down their faces. His theme for the occasion was his best "From the bar room to tbe pulpit" and in the narra tive of his own eirience there was much to inspire hope in the breast of tbe drunkard w ho has fallen into the deepest pit of ruin aud degradation. He told of his battle with tht demon of intemperance, and bis fruitless attempts to break the power by which he was hound, until the (jrace of i )d laid bold iijxin him, freed him from his shackles, aud er.ahied him to step f j th into a new life. His description of his en'ry into his own home, and the manner in which his wife and children would hide from his presence and shrink from his rpproarh, was enough to melt the hardest hearts and bring tears lo eyes unaccustomed to weep. .Vj one (an bear him without being impressed that he is doing a good work. At the Capitol the usual routine of "Bills in place," "Bills on second reading," "Bills on final passage," has been going on steadily during the week. T anyone niaccustomed lo the work of legislation, who is simply looking on as an idle spectator, it would seem that the Commonwealth of Pennsylva nia is of recent birth, and that laws to con tinue her existence and insure her prosperity are an immediate neeemity. I sometimes wonder if it ever occurs to the busy law makers, who seem to work and worry as though they actually believe that without their efforts the Commonwealth must per ish, that it might prove a great bleasing to the State if she cjuld be exempt from tbe affliction of legislation for a period of at least ten years, so ibat her people might be able for a little while at least to quietly settle down and acquaint themselves with the multiplied laa-4 that already burden our atatute bucks. The dissatisfaction of many of the mem bers of both Houses of the Legislature with tbe attitude of the the senior I. S. Senator upon the Federal Elections bill still mani fests itself in various ways. In th House, on Monday evening, Mr. Thompson, of But ler, called for the second reading of his resolution of censure. All of the Democrats aod a few Republicans n f used to vote on j j the motion made by Mr. Brooks, of Phila- oeipuia, 10 posipon ua conuoeration 01 tbe resolution. The first call of the roll received but 82 responsss. This put Speaker Thompson upon his mettle, and he ordered tbe doors closed and tbe roll called to ascer tain if a quorum was present ; 149 members answered. The Speaker then, in tones Uiat gave evidence of bis determination, calied attention to the Rule depriving any member refusing to vote of the privilege of the House, and ordered the roll to be called for the second vote on tbe motion. This time the vote was yeas l ift, nays 23. A bill offered by Mr. Tewksbury, of Col ombia coumy, providing for a manufactur er's lien npon tombstones occasioned a good dull of merriment, more than one would expect upon so "grave" a subject Among other suggestions made for tbe amendment of the bill, was one that "it made an unjust diacrl ml nation in favor of the man who The Pennsylvania Railroad Com pany's Tours to the Sunny South There was a time, not; many years ao, when the first cold snap drove the seiktr afier more geniid climate to Florida, and this meant several dsys of tedious journey ing; but to-day nothing is thought of it whatever, for, through 4t!ie medium of the series of winter tours, under the persoi ally conducted system of the Pennsylvania Rail riad Company, Jacksonville and xintscven more sojtherr. are reached in coinpanuively few hours, while ra mult the traveler is en joying the comforts at -1 delights of a home.
