And Representative KemUl never out fcrke.1 to the color of the "Bed.' rd rtMinty man's" money. Instead of playing a long engsge nient in Manila, Aguinaldo has decided ou a uui'ilier of oue-uigbt stands in the provinces. The present Republican protective tariff is producing almost exactly the financial results expected hy the men Mho framed it It is aNo attended with the promised prosperity. While a farmer can get from sixty to seventy dollars for a steer, it will lie ditlicult for Colonel liryau to convince him that proi-perity is not camping in his neigh ttorbood. To the other varieties have been aided the Democrat and the $10 Democrat, and one of these is threat ening to split into two factions. The multiplication of JcflVrsons hay a bad effect. UxrLE Sam's 3 per cent, bonda are quoted at quite a handsome premium, which means that be can borrow mon ey at a fraction over 2 per cent The cise would be different if silver had won in l-sini. A nn.i. has been introduced in the House at Harrishurg amending the act prohibiting the sale of cigarettes to children under sixteen years of age so as to make it a misdemeanor to even give fcuch a child a cigarette. A medium has learned that President MoKiuley will not be re-elected. I'rob-. ably this is the same medium who call ed up the spirit of John .Sherman on the evening of bis reported death, and had a lengthy interview before the de nial arrived. Thk trial of ex-Sermior i.:y and his son is scheduled to commence at Philadelphia Monday next. There is a growing impression that it was never intended bv the parties back of the prosecutions that these cases should ever be tried and that no trial will Uke plac. Theke were only four delegates to the coining Republican State couven tion elected last week, but they were all supporters of Senator Quay. They were elected in Delaware county, with out opposition, the Wanamaker ele ment being afraid to put up candi dates. So far the anti-Quay people have failed to elect a single delegate, vet they froth about the people endors ing their Wilting and treasonable ef forts at Harrisburg. Ex- Senator Qcav returned to Washington from Florida on Sunday, much improved in health by his rest of the past few Tceks. He laughs at the idea, so persistently circulated by the Democratic and Mugwump prtss, that he intends tiuitling the senatorial tuiv, and positively announces that he will be in at the finish. He w ill prob ably spend a portion of the present week in Harrishurg in consultation with his lieutenants who have so ably c.m.iin-ted his fij-ht during iiis absence in Florida. Til eke is now in the hands of the I.hw and Order committee of the Hon at Harrisburg a bill, known a the Fow bill, which strikes directly at the sanc tity of the Sabbath by making lawful the nale of Sunday newspajers, the keeping open of barber shops, and the conducting of other forms of business on that day. It is a glaring attempt to break down Sunday observance at a time when people of all conditions of life deinanl more, instead of less Sun day rest. Sjch proposed laws should be pigejn-boled iu the CDmmittee rooui and uever allowed to see the light of day. A niLi. has passed both branches of the Legislature, is now in the hands of the Governor, and will doubtless soon become a law, making "it unlawful for any person to hold himself out, or ad vertise himself as a lawyer, attorney at law, counsellor at law, etc., in any county of the State of Pennsylvania, unless duly admitted to practice by a court of rtscord of any county within the Commonwealth." Conviction un der the provisions of the proposed law svibjec'-s to a tiue not exceeding fWJ, ani imprisonment for not more than one year, at the discretion of the court Just to show bow "well disciplined'' they are, you know, lloss Fliun lined up bis fifty-one Insurgents" forjudge John Stewart Tuesday, and the (Kith joint ballot for lrnTed States Senator resulted: Quay ft, Jenks 7G, Stewart 51. Although the legislature has but two more week9 of life, it is steadily continuing to do nothing, because a handful of bolting Republicans refuse to acquiesce in the will of the majority and insist that they must be allowed to name the next I'nited States Sena tor. Well, the people, the Republican voters of the State, will have their say a little later on. Somerset county's representatives at Harrisburg are rapidly acquiring notoriety, if not prominence as legisla tors. At last week's session of the bribery investigating committee, ac cording to the mugwump press of the State, Representative Kendall tigured as oue of the star witnesses. After answering all the formal questions in th negative, lie made a statement in which be said that at the beginning of the session be was talked to by a resi dent of Bedford county, who asked hint to vote for Seuator Quay's re flection. "He believed, if I were so disposed, I could get "0o0. He did not say from what source, and did not offer it to me." To this Chairman Fow remarked: "We might believe lie could get (10,(100 ; it would not lie corrupt solicitation to say so." Ibe verdancy of the representative freni Somerset was too great for the strong stomach of Philadelphia's great Dem ocratic "reformer," Fog-boru Fow, to stand, and be became nauseated. What effect it bad upon the sensitive and delicate stomach of Somerset's model "reformer," Koontz, can only be surmised. Yet it is on alleged tes timony of this character that the anti Quayitee are daily yelping of the great corruption that is being unearthed by this farcical investigation. The child ish statement of Representative Km dall Is a fir sample of the "evidence" that bs heea &i Jzcea. ana .n e other instance the party nPn whora suepieiou of wrong doing has befii cast has entered a prompt denial, as will probably be done in this instance if our verdant representative is forced io divulge tli name or tiie iwhiii rd county man-' who "teaipted him. So much has been said concerning the bad beef furnished our soldiers that the subject has become almost as unsa vory as the beef ilseli. Hut a public, tired of the subject, will be glad to bear the testimony of so good an authority as Governor Roosevelt, and will be glad to accept his opinion in lieu of wading through the wholedisagreeabb-subject. Refore the investigating board the Gov ernor told what he knew concerning it. He said the first time it was called to his attentiou specially was when he saw a private iu the act of throwing bis ration overboard. He said be asked the man why he was throwing the meat away and was told that the sol dier could not eat it. He said he tried the meat himself, and while it had no putrid odor, or tainted appearauce, it tasted badly. Governor lioosevelt said he knew of no other meat ration during the trip to Cuba. After landing in Cu ba, salt pork and canned roast beef were furnished. The Governor said he bad procured the pork whenever possible because the men disliked the canned beef. hen asked to describe the ap pearance of the meat, Governor Roose velt said: "On opening the can we found it usually covered with a sort of slime. The interior was stringy and the general appearance unwholesome. We tried it worked in stews combined with vegetables, but in no case was it satisfactory. Some of our men became sick after eating it, but I could uot say that the beef was the cause of their ill ness." Tke State treasury contains now atmiit three quarters of a million, with unpaid appropriations amounting to five times as much. The problem of making one dollar do the work of five is a ditlicult one to deal with; the leg islative practice, in many cases, has been to make five dollars do the work of one. The question of equalizing re ceipts and expenses, with which the Legislature is now wrestling, is found sufficiently troublesome. Various sub jects of taxation have been suggested, ranging from leer to inheritances, but the desired result is not yet in sight. In this emergency, says the I louts dale Citizen, it is in order to inquire what has become of John Wanaina ker's scheme of taxation, elaborately set forth in his sjeech at Huntingdon, October in, ISM, published in all the Wanamaker machine organs, and scat tered broadcast, at r further expense to the Wanamaker machine, in pamphlet form. In this speech Mr. Wanamaker demonstrated that all the necessary taxes could be collected from the rail road corporations, and the people not pay a dollar of them. He showed that the assets of these corporations were re ported iu ISfiT at S2.313.942.SS0. With the subsequent improvement in rail road property, these should amount to $2,300,01 0,000. A tax of five mills on this would i ield f 12,300,000, all of which would lie paid by the railroad corpora tions. He forgot, indeed, to explain how a dollar could lie taken from a rail road company until the company bed taken it from the people, or how such a company could lie prevented from a iding its taxes to its charges for trans portation; but this is a point for ihe wisdom of tiie Legislature to discover. If the amount thus levied on railroad companies is not sufficient, the tax can be extended to all other corporations, and be felt ia no greater degree by the jieople. Mr. Wanamaker had a further p'an which would draw slightly from the iieoplo. The last census valuation of all real and jtersonal property in Penn. sylvania was SS,.Vi0,OO0,O0ii. He has exis-rt authority for fixing its present value at splO.OOO.OUO.OtiO. He would tax all this, and asjevery mill of taxation would yield (10,000,000, a four mill rate would produce (40,000,000; of which (23,000,000 or more could be returned to the counties to reduce local taxation. Though, as a glittering campaign gag, aimed at boss -rule, the Wanama ker plan was enthusiastically indorsed by the Wanamaker machine organs, none of the opponents of boss rule in the Legislature seems inclined to do it reverence as a practical scheme .of tax ation. It may be, however, that it baa been copyrighted, and therefore can not be used without the payment to Mr. Wanamaker of a royalty beyond the means of the State. A Sacrilege. From the New York Tribune. " Mr. Bryan first attracted the notice of the American people by a sacrilegious outburst nuirb shocked Christians of rev erent feelings. Nevertheless, it secured fir him a Presidential, nomination from the wild-eyed gathering on whose pas sions he played by his degradation of sa cred symbols to the purposes of party politics. His "crown of thorns" and "cross of gold" simile made him the leader of the fanatics of silver, and be is following the true method of the dema gogne in persisting ia the course, how ever indecent, bile attempting to remain a National figure, which was so success fully used in his first bid for notoriety. His latest exhibition of vulgarity and irreverence goes beyond anything be has before, uttered even in his most frenzied appeal to voters. At Birmingham, Ala ou Thursday he had the un.akable ef frontery to compare Thomas Jefferson to Christ, and to liken the Iiemoeratic ban quet soon to be held in this city to the Holy Sacrament about which the whole Christian world thinks reverently, speaks guardedly, and would shrink with horror from making the subject of a jest. These were bis words: What the Lord's Supper is to the Chris tian, mi a JetTrson Imnquet is to a Iern oernt. Just as a good Christian would re volt at having the sacrament adiiiiuister- ea tty an uilidel, so a good IVmoeratob j!ts to having a Jefferson banquet presi ded over by Perry itelmouL And this th'e man who poses as a new Lincoln, w ho dares to compare himself to that deep, solemn soul who walked rev erently before iod, whosa epigrams and humor are proverbial, but who amid them all uever forgot the respect due to sacred things, and never shocked the feelings of lbs most sensitive and religious of his countrymen. This pinchbeck statesman with bia glib phrases is no more a Lin coln than the common cross roads blas phemer is an expounder of philosophy. In his ontroversy with Mr. Belmont Mr. Br an has hitherto claimed the res pect of people who believed in straight forward honesty and decency in politico. They might not accept bis silver theories but they were ready to give hhn credit for standing by what be believed and not leading a movement of false pretence, as the men of no principles and all princi ple wbo control the Democracy of this city do. But even Tammany, with all iu sins, shows at least some regard for pro priety. It does not go into the chrrcbea and seize the vessels from the altars to burl at the beads of its enemies. To talk of a political banquet as a Lord's sapper and degrade that boly tb-nigbt to ibe nses if selfish party controversy is the height of profanation. A man must be mad with anaticism or drunk with vanity who lares make sncb sacrilegious speech. From toe FhiUdeiphia Itqu!r . N ineteeu days from today Ibeijegis- lature will adjourn if the adjoarnment revolutions adopted at the beginning of the seas ion. are allowed to stand. Nothing of importance baa been done. and the sessiou has stretched itself out over three months. There is great neces sity for more revenue, and yet revenue bills have hardly been discussed. Tbe appropriations have not been made, and until an increased revenue is provided the appropriations to charities and schools must wail, for it cannot yet be known w hether they are all to receive tbe full limit or must suffer reductions. Three months gone and nothing done! Less than three week remaining in w liich to do everything. This is the situation into which the party wreckers at Harrislmrg have forced the Legislature, and for which they must and will lie held responsible. A little band of bolters against party rule has turned the Legislature upside down. These men have been influenced by personal spite and the hatred of Quay, and tbe result ia chaoe. Tbey cannot beat Quay, for a great Republican majority cannot surrender to a few revolutionists whose leaders are a pair of political bosses. They may pre vent his election, but they cannot choose anyone else. What they can do is to continue chaos until tbe 2tHh of April, and then go borne and face their constituents, and judging from public sentiment as expressed at all of tbe recent primaries the meeting will not be pleasant for the bolters and party wreckers. FIGHTISQ IN BAXOa. American and Britiili Craiaera Bombard Tillage! Bear Apia- Active hostilities have broken out in Samoa between tbe American and British Daval forces on tbe one hand, and tbe Mataafa tribesmen, supported by the German consul, on the other. Apia ad vices by way of Auckland say that the Mataafas seized a British huse and on March 15 began an attack on the United States and British consulates, ignoring an ultimatum previously sent the'i.. The war ships Philadelphia, Porpoise and Rovalist then lieein a bomliardment of the nadve villages, which continued in termittently for eight days. Several shore villages were burued, and there was a number of casualties among the Americans and British sailors and ma rines on shore. The Americans fortified Mulinuu, where 2H0O Malieloans took refuge. Tbe islands of Samoa were made inde pendent under the protection of tbe I'nited States. Lagland and Germany on June 14, is-flt, and Malietoa was made king. A supreme court, presided over by an American, was created, which was to have jurisdiction over all disputes re garding the title and possession of land. over all suits arising between natives and foreigners and over crimes committed by foreigners who are not subjected to tbe consular courts.. Some time ago King Malietoa died, and the people of the islands elected Mataafa in his place, but. as it was alleged frauds or undue in finances were exerted to secure his ele vation, the matter was taken to the supreme court, and, after hearing the Cise, Chief Justice Chambers decid against Mataafa and in favor of Malieta Tan us, another of the chiefs. This gave otfence to the two German o Gl ials the president of the municipal council, RalTrtl and Consul R tsu. Incited, it is said, by Kaffel, the followers of Ma taafa attacked Apia and defeated the forces of Mai ieto Tan us with considers tle slaughter. The consuls, for the time be ng, declared a provisional govern ni ut, with Mataafa as tbe head, and later lr. Kirfel and Consul R ise closed tbe s.ipreine court and usurped tbe power themselves. Chief Justice Chambers took refuge on the British man-of-war Porpoise, but was reinstated by the com mander of that vessel. Dr. Raffel being rem ived from the court room by forc, L iter Consul K ite issued a proclamation protesting against tbe interference of Knglan.l, but no attention was paid to this, and Germany soon after recalled Dr. IUiThI, aud gave a tardy disavowal of his a-ts. Since then there have been reports of oiiicial c irrespondence, but nothing of a definite character is known. Germany has the largest portion of the trade iu tbe island of I'polu, of which Apia is the capital, and has long desired to obtain possession of the entire gronp.

Mr. Beaoom says the claims now due and payable aggregate at least four times this amount, and that will be impossible to accumulate enough money by June 5, when the school ap propriation of $3,500,000 for the fiscal year becomes due, to pay any part of tbe ap propriation during that month. He also says it will be fortunate if the receipts are sufficient to pay the expenses of the Legislature, make tbe quarterly payments to the charitable institutions and return the personal property tax yet due to Philadelphia and Allegheny counties.

AST WOKE OF OtTB XT. Tbe rebels in Luzon escaped from tbe trap set by General Otis, as it wa inti mated they might, aud bis plans have been changed to a direct attack on Malo- los. He is hammering away at tbe enemy Grant, aud as long as bis own troops can J uuiu ii, tuis IB gutju fjuiii-jr. ib n inn at- : ways easy to reooncile the glowing ac counts of charges made by American trojps upon intrenched Filipinati wilb the relatively small low. H is proba ble that all the fighting thus far has (men in the nature of skirmishing, although in tbe aggregate our losses have be.-n heavy. It ia also probable that weather condi tions compel long periods of rest each day. Tbe despatches do Dot say so in as many words but it appears as though the Americans do their advancing and fight ing in tbe early hours of the morning, and then rest until tbe next morning'. Tbey should be able to keep this up until Aguinaldo ia forced to terms. During tha War of the Rebellion the troops were sometimes engaged daily for a week or more at a time, as under McClellan on tbe Peninsula and iu the Wilderness cam paign. It was exhausting labor, but American soldiers are capable of doing it, and it is excellent policy to pursue in fighting tbe Filipinos who are accustom ed to Spanish delay, and expect after a bat le to have plenty of Use to recuper ate. Tbe character of the iulrencbinenta met with in the American advance makes it seem likely that tbe Filipinos are led by trained officers probably Spaniards or natives who have been trained in tbe Spanish service, and the Filipinos them selves fight with tbe desperation of fanat ics who have probably been told that tbey would be killed if taken by the Am ericans Our losses in the campaign against tbe insurgents have been quite heavy, and there is little doobt now that the casual ties in tbe war with the Filipinos w ill ex ceed those of the Spanish war. In two days our losses h&e been tlire officers and twenty-five ei listed men killed aud nine officers and two hundred and three enlisted men wounded. Major General Otis' forces on Friday night camped in the old rebel capital of Malolos Only the Presidencia and a few buildings were fired, so hastily did tbe rebels flee. Colonel Funston, son of Con gressman Funston, was the first man in tbe city with a baud of hia dashing Kan sas Volunteers. Tbe Filipino flag, which was flying from the centre of the town, was hauled down by some men of tbe Montana regiment, who triumphantly raised their own above it. It is evident that the insurgents for some time past have abandoned all hope of holding their capital, for tbe Ainer iiains found evidences of elaborate prep aration for evacuation. On the railroad the rails and ties for about a mile had been torn up and probably thrown into the river. Tbe only prisoners captured were a few Chinamen. Tbey said Aguin aldo leit Malolos on Wednesday. Tbe principal citizens of Malolos, their families and goods have been taken into the country over the railroad, while oth ers departed on foot, carrying their pos sessions and driving their cattle and other animals before them. From the reports gathered by the Am erican officers from prisoners and others, it is believed that the insurgnnt army is constantly losing strength on account ot desertions, and that although the enemy nay make one or two more stands, tbe forces of Aguinaldo will degenerate, in perhaps a month, to a few hundreds, who may continue waging a guerilla warfare in the mountains. Tbe plans of the rebels, if they have any, are conjectural. General King on Saturday morninp sunt out a reeonnoitering party of two oompanies of the North Dakota legiinetit. and a brisk engagement followed, duiing which seven Filipinos were killed. On the American side a lieutenant and tw private were wounded. No general movement was made by the American troops under General MacAr thur on Saturday. Tho men are being given a good rest before starting in on a campaign of great activity. Major General Otis has planned a warm crusade against the rebels and the troop era are anxious and ready for the word t advance. Tbe series of victories and al together brilliant achievements bav spurred tbe men on, and they are as de termined on the suppression of the na tives as General Otis himself.
