The fool Legislatures of several ftatea propose to legislate against crinoline. The less these law makers toy with crin oline the better it will be for their do mestic relation. When a woman will, she will, and that's an end of it. A Demoieatic contemporary indulges in tLis piece of satire, w hit-h is as appli cable here as elsewhere : " Several gen tlemen who imagine they are about to cajitore an ofiice,are mereiy holding the bag, w hile the other fellows are having ail the fun, and at their expense." The change of the administration ne cessitates the counting of the money in tbelTnited States Treasury. It is an nounced that it will take ninety experts two months to count the money in the t ailed .States Treasury, which will allay any fears that may have been excited by Lemocratic canards about an empty trea sury. Among the four postmasters appointed by I'ostmat-ter-tieneral Cissell, via Cleve land and the Senate, are two Democratic editors. They are Brown, of Meadville, La., and Crittenbeigpr, of Anderson, Ind. liolu run rabid Democratic papers, and so, after f 11, Cleveland is going to give his editors a chance, notwithstanding hi$ notice to the contrary. Ox the different railroads in Pennsyl vania last year there were 42 passengers reported killed and CM injured, being or.a killed out of every 3,.'k-,1 carried, and one injured out of every '3.0-1 car ried. Of employes 4''5 were killed and C,bZ3 irj jred, and cf other persons 2 were killed and l.SJit injured, a total of ,-!'. killed and S.sO-' injured. Aos; the hordes of slice-seekers at Washington there are some at least who apparently go on the principle of -claiming everytiiing ia fight Several visitors to the White liuuse since the fourth of March have len obliged to Jeave with out their hats, those necessary append ages to a gentleman's attire having been appropriated by some of the seekers af ter a good thing. " The wild and reckless pension list" shows the following facts : That ir,,0!'I received not over per month, S2,:54 received not over f I per month, 1S0.51S received not over fii per month, "17,741 received not over $3 per month, Zi'i)':i received not over $10 per month, 5"7,G53 received not over $12 per month. Death is thinning them out so fast that Democ racy will soon be relieved from " veteran pauper pensioners." The "go slow" policy of the new ad ministration is a source of untold misery to many thousands of hungry and expec tant Democrats. In the Post-oflice de partment alone there are 70,X( post oili ees, and on an average there are five anx ious applicants for every one of them. If added to these are the many thousands of positions in the other departments it can readily be estimated bow many sen sitive Democratic hearts are made to ache. Mosdat the President sent the follow ing nominations to the Senate: James 15. Kust is, of Louisiana, Minister ti France; Theodore Runy an, of Xew Jersey, Min ister to Germany ; John E.'.Risley, of New York, Minister to Denmark; J trues G. Jenkins of Wisconsin, to be Circuit Judge of the Seventh District, vice Jud-e Gresham, resigned ; Wade Hampton, tf South Carolina, to be Commissioner of Railroads. A number of minor nomina tions were also sent to the Senate. The resignation of General Green B. Kaum, the Commissioner of Pensions, has been accepted and the Democratic preys of the cou ntry breaks out in paens of themselves and bursts of viliflea'ion of the outgoing official. As Commissioner of Internal levenueand Commissioner cf Pensions Genera! Uiurn had no superi or, and no official has been more bitterly and unjustly pursued and vilified. If bis successor leave? tbe cilice at the end of fjur years with any better record than does Genera! Riutn, we will cheerfully mark the day with a white stone. Tl.e position is not a bed of rows. Mb. Keh-.ekt, the new Se. ret.iry of the Navy, says the 'TnitM States is not goinj to be surpassed bv anv other na tion in the matter of fijtiting American ships, commanded by American officer? and manned by American crews." This declaration of Secretary Herbert is in consonance with the wishes of a large mrjority of the American people, but he knows from p rsonal experience aschairman of the Naval Committee in the last House that bis party friendsare not in accord with him, as they defeated all appropriations for building new men-of-war, and reluctantly yielded consent for tbe addition of one small gun-boat to our naval force. This niggardly and un pitriotic course, added to Mr. Cleveland's denunciations of subsidies, does notcer- repond ith the rosy views of the new Secretary regarding the coming navy. that is not to be surpassed by that of any Other nation. The "Philadelphia Record." .he sturdy oppanect of a Protective tariff, and tbe equally sturdy advocate of a Tariff for revenue only," bas at last taken np the practical question ol how to raise about xX),(X)0,'-'0 annually for the support of the Ooveniment. It thinks that the in ternal revenue taxes may be relied upon for $l 5,(XtO,00 annually and that rev enue of f20,wT0,K) can be gathered from the sale of public lands and other sourc es, which would leave f:K5,000,000 to be raised from customs (tariff duties), and then it thinks that the next Congress can scale down the expenses f-jO, 000,000, which would leave 1273,000,000 to be' r use J by tariff duties. The outside lim it of revenue under the McKinley Uri3 U then estimated at J IM.000,000, which leaves a balance of ?S2,000 033 to be rais ed by "a readjustment of duties." What this readjustment of duties means, we let the Rnr-I tell in its own larguage.aa follcws : First in the list is sunr, which at a du ty of 1 i cento a ponnd oDly, would yield a revenue of .Hi.wm on the basfs of 5at year's importations. Next comes offer, which at a du'v of .".cents a pom:. I would yield .VA'.'k -J aor Tea would jro larr H 3 (, revenue frwn a iow i cty of i cents pound. These three sources alone wou'd yield a tinral revenue of fl,0" ,", without burdening cor.snmeis. The collection of such duties would be attended with lit tle ccst, and with no fraudsin valuation. 1 he basis of a tarifl for revenue enly thus established, tbe rest of the task would be easv. Reductions of duties on woolens and other textile fabrics, to which tbe Democratic party is pledjfed, would be f ilowed by an increase of revenue ; and would thus more than compensate for the additions to tbe free list As the rev enues should increase, and tv. a expendi tures of the Government diminish with the gradual decline in the appropriations for pensions, tbe free list could be still further extended from time to time nntil tbe ideal of a tariff for revenue only should hve been fully realized. In view of this proposed method of raising the means to defray the expenses of the Government, eomirg from oneof the leading Democratic journals of the country, that is known to be in touch with the new Administration's doctrines and methods, we simply inquire, w hat bas become of the past election anxiety of the Democrats for tbe "untaxed break fast table of the working man" and of their denunciation and horror of the "Robber tariff?" Here is another in stance where facts and theories run con trariwise. What the President Will Expect of toe Commissioner of Penaiona. Washington, March 18, 195. Tbe Presi dent intimated to one of hiscaiiers of promi nence who was pressing the claims of an aspirant for the Commissionership of Pen sions that he fell convinced that at least twenty millions, if not more, could be cut out of tbe amount paid by the government in pensions and then not touch a merito rious case. He intends to f.ad a man who will give some attention to the interests of an empty treasury, as well as to the interests of the aoldiers, and has also expressed to his Secre tary of the Interior his belief that his fin-t step in the direction of pension reform will be a complete reorganization of the service in the Pension Bureau, by the dismissal, re duction or transfer of the pre?nt men. and the substitution of new ones, who will work ia harmony with the new Commissioner, when named. The present men have thwart ed every attempt to bring the pension ex penditures within the limits of tbe Govern ment revenues after paying tbe administra tive exiiensi-sof the (rovercmect. The ten sion clerks in the higher divisions are getting anxious. Ail to Assist M'Klniey. Truiti-e II. II. Kohisaath, of Chicago, bas received enough money by popular sub wription to pay Governor McKiuley's debts, and by April 1 every cent of the 95.0-.0 lia bilities will have been wiped out with sini;le dollars from individual Republicans and JVM contributed by faithf.il admirers. Not a cent of tbe Governor's or bis wife's prop erty will be used, and no niia will ever be rile to say be was as led to help. Trustee Kohlyaath heeded his client's wish as long as hecould and then gave away, lie says it would have been as easy to dam the CUirajjo Kiver with his hands as to oppose the popular desire. The fund was raised by ntarly 40A contributors in sums ranging from H to handsome draf is fjr ". Tbe money came lrom nearly every sec tion of the country, with the most from Ohio. Michigan men were numerous among thedoners. Mr. Koh'saath has not w ritten Governor McKinley as to the eizs of the fund, and doe not propose to do so. He will simply begin paying McKinley-Walker notes on their presentation, a hundred cents on tbe dollar. In fat, this operation has already bven begun and by April 1 tbe in debtedness will be entirely canceled. This having ben accomplished, all the home steal eiTtfcts and inheritances will be return ed to Mr. end Mrs. McKinley as a gift from the trustee and the cmlrihjtors. Better Late Than Never. It is too late to prevent Mr. Andrews occu pying the seat in the bouse at Harrisburg that belongs to Mr. Iligby, but it is possible to pievent a repetition of such injustice as gave it to him. So two bills were introduced in the bouse yesterday, both of them aimed directly at the prevention of such a result as that in Crawfurd county, which ended in the man chosen by the people being thrown out of his seat, while another, who was re jected at the Kills, touk his place in the leg islature. Mr. Stewart, of Allegheny, has a bill which empowers tbe courts or any law judre to fix the place of holding an election, so that there would be no occasion to have pollirc places outsid of election districts. The other bill, by Mr. B ire, of Huntingdon, repeals the act w hich allows townships near or surrounding a borough or city to bold ejections within the limits of such borough or city. Tbe experience in Crawford county bas Uught us that if vosers are to be allowed to count their votes they must know jut where they can or caunot cast their ballots so that they wiil be counted property. The need of careful hwisiatiua in this onne.-.tion has been painfully demonstrate!, and it is well that it bas been taken up so promptly by at lea.-t two of the state legislators.

In this series of articles (now concluded) I have pointed out many errors and left olb ers to be corrected by my readers. If I have set some of tbem to thinking and cot them to correct their own mistakes I am content The common mass of humanity may thank God and take courage, for many of those who think they are, and indeed ought to be fairiv well educated, make as many blun ders as other people, to say nothing of vul garisms and slang, of which as a rule I have said nothing.

Tbe rising generation enjoy advantages that were rare in the olden days. Tbe boys and girls generally speak tbe American lan gus-e from their infancy, read at eight years cf age and with proper encouragement may graduate in their home-school at seventeen If they have in tbe meantime acquired and cultivated a taste for reading they will then be ready for a higher training, and may soon be qaaliued to hold Teachers' Certificates. Then too they would be capable of correct ing such examples as I have been publish ing, were it not that our system in teaching the language is radically defective. Parents should teach children to speak correctly as part of their home-training, but as they are usually either incompetent or indifferent that burden devolves upon tbe teacher, who may not have the time or inclination to at tend to it. Then again, a great deal of good work is spoiled in consequence of tbe fre quent changes of teachers, from which and other causes language culture really suffers about as much as the art of reading, neither being well taught Church organizations are doing something tor the improvement of our young people, and even our secret or ders may help to stimulate the ambition of their members ; but by any and all means our young men especially should learn enough or tbeir native tongue to write a good business letter or an article of moder ate length for the local paper, and to assist by prayer and exhortation in tbe worship of cur Divine Master.

It will be ths largest piece of machinery of the kind in this country. Tbe press will haves capacity of 16.000 tons. The machine will arrive here by tbe first of next year. It is claimed that by tbe aid of this machinery the company will be able to make tbe greatest forgings in tbe world and a plate of 200 tons can be worked in one piece. The Fiends Baffled. Xorristows, Pa, March 15. A cowardly attempt was made last night at Bridgeport to wreck a fast express on the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad. Eighteen switch lamps were shattered to pieces and two twitches, so as to throw tbe train off the track. An engine, without any cars attach ed, ran off the track and revealed tbe fiend ish plot Tbe two switches were put back in proper pud (ion only two minutes befors I be express came alone. A coal train, stand ing above Bridgeport, was cut into 12 sections by the would-be wreckers. As yet tbe con spirators are frea. From the State Capitol. A bill baa been favorably repjrted in the House authorizing distillers to s!I liquor of their own manufacture in original packages of not less than forty gallons without being required to take out a license. Tbe bill prohibiting tbe killing of wild deer for a period of three years pased third reading, at did the bill autboriziug tbe elec tion of tax collectors in borooghi and town ships for tbe term of three years. A bill bss been introduced in the Senate providing that constables who are required by law to visit once a month places where liquor is sold shall be paid fifty cents for each place visited and six cents per mile for each mile traveled. The bill extending the minimum school term to seven months provoked long discus sions in tbe Senate Wednesday. Senator Critcbfield was against it, and Senator Lan dis, of Lancaster county, raised his voice in iu iavor. On final passage the bill was de feated yeas, 13 ; nays, 20. Tbe Legislature bas been in session eleven weeks, and during that time only three bills have reached the Governor. Two of these provide for tbe psyment of tbe ex penses of committees, which the Governor would not allow two years ago, because the amounts alleged to have been expended were not itemized. In tbe Higby-Andrews contest in tbe House Wednesday, tbe majority report de claring Andrews entitled to tbe seat, receiv ed 117 votes to 77 against, but twelve Re publicans voting with tbe Democrats to seat Higby. Tbe contest hinged on the right of townships to rote in boroughs aud as in the Greevy-Scull Congressional contested elec tion case, the house decided that it is un constitutional. Senator Critch field bas introduced a bill in tbe Senate asking for an appropriation for repairs to the stone bridge over the Yough iogheny river at Somerfield. In last week's Hi&ald we published a history of this an cient landmark and of the necessity of sav ing it from the ravages of time. Senator Critcbfield can be depenued upon to exert every effort to secure an appropriation from tbe State for that purpose. Tbe Junior Order of American Mechanics, which numbers 00,000 members in Tennsyl vania, bas, through its Legislative Commit tee, demanded the passace of tbe Farr Free Text Book bill and tbe giving of an appro priation by the State sulficlent to pav for the books. This is the right stand to take. It is a noble stand, and we hope the Junior Order of American Mechanics will insist that the bill be passed through both branch es of the Legislature and sent to the Govern or. Tbe bill appropriating $oio,000 for the buildiug of a fire proof library building and alterations and improvements in the Capi tol bas passed both branches of the Legisla ture and now goes to tbe Governor for his signature. Of course the Governor will ap prove the bill. He has been in favor cf this scheme for years, and will no doubt be glad that it is about to be carried to a successf al completion nuder bis administration. The necessity of a fire proof library building bas long been apparent A bill has been introduced in the Legishv ture providing a new system for the election of members of the State Board of Agricul ture. In a general way it provides that the various agricultural, norticultural and other societies in any county shall elect the mem ber of tbe board for that county. Tbe mea sure is endorsed by the State Grange, but the present members of the Board of Agricul ture are not happy over the prospect of be ing legislated out of office. There will be a lively fight before the session is much older on this bilL Worthy Master Rhone and olb er prominent grangers held a meeting there to further its passage. The Harrisburg correspondent of tbe Pittsburg Timet outlines a proposed amend' ment to tbe Constutition, about to be pre sented to the Legislature, providing for I reduction in the number of members of tbe House. It fixes tbe basis of representation atone member for each county, with one additional member for each jO.oiai of popu lalion. This would reduce the membership from the present number of 2" 4 to aoout 120. Of the eighty-four to be dropped Philadelphia would lose eighteen, leaving her representation twenty-one, while Al legbeny, which now hs sixteen, would be cut down to ten. Outside of these the re duction would chiefly affect the larger count iej of the interior. Last week the bin making women eligi ble to appointment as notaries public was sent to tbe Governor. It will be reca'.lfd in consequence of a blunder on the part of the Senate, Two bills exactly alike provid ing for tbe appointment of women notarits, were introduced into both branches of the Legislature. The Senate amended tbe bill before it by inserting a provision for the marriage of a woman while holding a com mission. Tbe House passed its bill without amendments and sent it to the Senate, which passed it without thinking of the mar riage provision. As things stand now, should the Governor sign tbe bjli before bim, women notaries may be appointed, but should they marry, they lose their commis sion, and must, if they desire to continue notaries, go to tbe trouble and expense of applying the second time. Tbe favorable report of the Judges' Pen sion bill by tbe Senate Judiciary Coruniitlie at Harrisburg bas encouraged the friends of that measure in the belief that it will piss both Houses of the Legislature and become a law within a few weexs. There are a num ber of jurists throughout the state who come within its provisions, and it is the desire of the political leaders of both parties that the bill may lcome a law in order that some of the older members of tbe Judiciary msy take tbe benefit of it, retire and thus make way for younger lawyers who have ben po litically active aud who are ambitious to at tain seals oa tbe bench. According to the terms of the bill any Judge o a Court of Law, who has served in that capacity for 2'i years, or longer, and attained the age ot 70 years, may resign bis position, or retire at the end of his present term and draw his sal ary in full for the remainder of his life. Tbe Farr free text-book bill requiring school directors or controllers to furnish school books and other school supplies free of cost pissed the huuie on second reading. Tbe bill elicited a warm discussion as to the methods by which the books shall be fur nished. Several members were of tbe belief that tbe cost ought to be imposed upon tbe school districts while others believed it should be borne by the state. The advocates of the bill declared that the opposition to it was started by lobbyists on tbe rl xr of tbe bouse in tbe interests of the book trust which was opposed to it In Philadelphia, where tbe system bas been in operation for the past seventy five years, tbe cost to the school- biard for books and all other supplies bas only been eighty-seven cents p?r pupil per year. In Chester the cost bas been forty seven cents per pupil ; while in Lancaster it bas been forty-five cents. The enactment of the bill is asked fir on the grounds that thousands of children would be eaabled tj et an education, whose parents keep them from schol because they cannot affjrl to pay tbe exceoive prices chargd for books at retail prices. Tbe annual report of the State Board of Agriculture is a document of more than Uttial interest, embracing as it does tbe re ports of tbe State Board, the State Agricultu ral Society, tbe State Dairymen's Society, tbe State Horticultural Association and tbe State College. Secretary Edge has given a graat dial of time an attention to the prep ra tion of this report, and bas made a volume fiat will prove a valuable addition to the agricultural literature of the State and well orth a place in tbe library of everyone who ikts an interest in tbe subject Considera ble space is devoted to the papers read at the Farmers' Institutes held throughout the State, at tbe instance of tbe State Board, and they form a compendium of most va'uable inforn atioa from the bet informed prar'i cal men (n all pans of the country.

Tbe severe win ter in the Northwest will naturally cut down the yield, and the same is true as a rule of other States, although to a less degree.

On one occasion tbe General, while chatting with her, opened his cigar case in au absent-minded way, offered her a cigar and took one himself.

William McAdoo, of Xew Jersey, to be assistant secretary of the Xavy ; Edward B. Whitney, of Xew York, to be assistant Attorney General, and Robert B. Brown, ed itor of the Meadville. Pa.. Messenger, to be postmaster at Meadville. Carlyle W. Harris, a young medical stu dent, who poisoned bis schcol-girl wife in Xew York city two years ago, after having exhausted every possible means to escape the penalty for tbe murder, was filially re sentenced to be electrocuted by Recorder Smylhe. Monday morning. Interest iu tbe case bas been phenomenal. The Democrats miy not be inclined to favor the makers of "moonshine" whisky, but official figures show that Mr. Cleveland's first administration collected $"l,0n5,C82 04 less from internal revenue than tbe admin istration of President Arthur did, and $115,-3-v"),521 73 less than was collected during President Harrison's administration. This was a little queer, wasn't it ? William Rhine, one of the Leech burg bank robbers and murderers, was convicUd of murder in the second degree, and was at once sentenced to twelve years in the peni tentiary by Judge Reyburn, at Kittanning, Pa., Monday. Thejury was out thirty -six hours. Tbe trials of Crotr.er, Spatter, and Dr. Wycoff. on the same c'larges, were post poned until June. Representative Blount, of Georgia, chair man of tbe Committee on Foreign Affairs in tbe last House, bas been sent by Presi dent Cleveland as Special Commissioner to Honolulu to investigate and report as to the Hawaiian sitnation. Mr. Blount received his instructions in several conversations with tbe President and Secretary Gresham. He will make bis report as soon as possible. '?quire Abington, known in private life as George Abington Bayard, died iu Xew Or leans on Saturday lost from tbe effects of pneumonia following a protracted spree. The 'Squire was tbe English backer of Casrley Mitchell, the British pugilist soon to fight Cjrbelt and who seconded the Australian Jim Hall defeated in tbe re cent f V ,) pnz: fight in Xew Orleans with Boh Fitzsimmoua. Abington was very Wealthy. Tue President has male one appointment that bas been earned by a shrewd head, a close mouth, and a good pair of legs. It is that of "Mickey" O'Shea to be "messenger to tbe President," snd for his services "Mick ey" gets the comfortable salary, for a 15-year-old boy, of $1,209 a year. "Mickey" is from Toledo, and bas shown bimtelf tbe brightest pigs in the House of Representa tives. Last summer he got into tbe cam paign by serving ai Chairman Harrity's spe cial messeng er. Tbe report cf the auditors on the Delama- ter affairs has bea filed at Meadville. There is $103,907 72 to be distributed. The judg ment creditors ret 9J 8-10 cents on the dol lar ; Sheriff McDowell's creditors are paid ia full. The general creditors of Delamaler A Co. get 5 cents 2 mills on the dollar. The unsecured creditors of G. W. Djlamster get 14.7 mills on tbe djllar. Tbe county gets $4,007 03 on its claim of $ IS.0J0. The State gets $7,532 SO on its claim of $101,000; but this goes to the bondsmen of tbe State treas urer, who made good the loss to the state. She Fleeced the Officers. IUadiss, Pa., March 15.
