THE FOREST REPUBLICAN. . t. WINK, . Editor 4 Pao.mtToa. WEDNESDAY, APRIL 1, 1801. STATE CAPITAL GOSSIP. Harmsuvro, March 28, 1891 For one week the member for Forest Was laid up sick at home. When he got back to his deck the first thing he noticed was a bill (that had already came with a favorable recommendation from a committee of which be was a member) that if passed would shut down every taonery and half the saw mills of his county. On the first op. portuuity be moved to have tho bill recommitted. This was opposed by by Bakor of Delaware, but your mem ber succeeded in having it recommit ted and a time appointed for the in terests to be heard. When that timo arrived Mr. Jerry Ciary, of llorton, Crary fc Co., and twenty others ap peared before the committee. The matter was discussed in all its bear ings and at the next meeting tho bill was on a unanimous vote sent back with a negative recommendation. The tanners showed clearly that they did not allow fleshings, tan or chemical water to go into the streams, but sim ply wash water, aud that they must send that there or shut down ; there was no other place for it to go. The ballot reform bill, and the Granger's revenue bill has taken up most of the time of the House the last two weeks. The ballot reform bill is not all that is claimed for it. Allow ing any person to mark the ballot of a voter unable to read or write is a serious defect. It should ouly be done by a sworn officer, otherwise any boss can insist on marking the ballots of his men and the men would not like to refuse. Again, it's a serious ques tion if any true reform can be attained without personal registration. The day for voting dead men in this Com monwealth ought to be gone by. The Granger revenue bill passed the House without much change and will have its big struggle in the Senate. As a whole the bill is a fair bill and yet it has seme serious defects. For instance, under the provisions of this Granger bill, Tom Jones, who has five old cows, from which he makes butler for trade, and a spau of ten-year-old horses with which to till his little farm, gets taxed on both cows and horses if worth over 300 dollars. Jim Smith, who lives on tho next farm, and who has 200 head of cattle and 300 head of horses less than 3 years old, some of his stock woith maybe $500 per head, does not pay a nickel of tax on the lot. That does not strike your member as equalizing the tax to a very alarmiog extent on those two fellows, and yet an amendment to make the age 1 to 2 years was voted down by the Granger element. Again, while it is true that railroads do not pay their share of local tax, yet undor the arrangement of this bill it's hard ly doubtful but the R. R. Co.'s wilj enter suit against every township try ing to collect the loco tax and the cost in the end will be more than the income. The tendency of legislation just now is to go to extremes ; by and by we will etrike the happy medium, when justice will be meted to all. Still, one can not tell what will be done with this bill ere the close of the ession. It is to be hoped that such arrangements will be made that local taxes as at present will be relieved and yet in a just and equitable way. A few days ago the game bill of Lytle, of Huntingdon, was up. Bur dick, of McKean, offered an amend ment prohibiting the killing of deer for 3 years. Lytle was on his feet in a minute, and said the amendment was offered in malice, and for the pur pose of killing the bill ; that Burdick bad asked him, Lytle, to do what he conscientiously could not do, and now in revenge he offered this amendment; that if this amendment passed deer would become so numerous as to be come dangerous; that sportsmen would at the end of that time sail from England and France and invade Pennsylvania in armies, etc., etc. Burdick said in reply that it was un fair to talk in that way; that bis amendment was offered in good fuitb and not for any mean purpose, aud he appealed to his colleagues from that section to say if he was not correct in lis views. Your member supported Burdick, and said he was correct, and that the amendment was just what was needed to prevent the extermination of the deer; that the attack of Mr. Lytle was not only unfair hut unman ly. At this point Lytle arose to a question of privilege, aud faciDg the member from Forest, said, passionate ly, "that if this Hue of attack was to be coutiuued on his bill he would be come not ouly personal but abusive." The Speaker ruled them all out of order at this point, but conceded the floor to the member from Forest. That member Lad remained standing, and said while he, of course, would submit to the ruliug of the Speaker, yet he wanted it distinctly understood that the gentleman from Forest was amply able to take care of himself in any contest on the floor of the the House. He then proceeded to discuss the amendment, which passed by a large majority. A spirit of animosiiy then began to bo shown against Mr. Lytle on account of his arbitrary way, and the bill was indefinitely postponed. The road bill is not yet up fur dis cussion in the House, tho Senate has made a number of changes and the House will make more. Lv making a requisition on Con nccticut for a criminal, Governor Pat lisoti is careful not to name tho Gov ernor upon whom the demand is made. This is a concession to the claims of the Republicans that was scarcely to be expected from this source Editor Dana, of New York, gives Mr. Clevelaod 50,000 minority in the State iu case he is a candidnte iu 1892, and Senator Voorhees, of Indiana, says that the ex President cannot car ry the Hoosier precinct. It begins to look as if Mr. Cleveland could not carry much not even water on both shoulders. Nelson P. Reed, the bead and front of the Pittsburg Commercial Gazette, died at his home on Saturday night last, of la grippe. The death of Mr. Reed is a serious loss to the great paper which be so successfully con ducted, as well as to the Republican parly of tbe State, and the business interests of his city. As the Legislature is to have a ten days' racess, the wise member will take advantage of the opportunity thus afforded to get the opinions of his constituents on the several important subjects demanding consideration. And tbe constituents ought to get the members to explaiu tbe various pro visions of the tax bill which has just passed the House. The members who voted for that measure should be able to explain it. Phila. Press. The Tension Department cautions pensioners against putting faith in circulars sent out recently by agents iu Washington, and says that these circulars contain statements that are false, and that all circulars which do not contain the approval of tho De partment upon their faces are fraudu lent and sent for the purpose of de ception. Some of these circulars have been returned to the Department. Would it not be well for the Pension Commissioner to publish the names attached to the circulars. This would put a stop to it, and stop the tricks of the tbioviug agents. The grip scourge which has been so prevalent in Pittsburg for the past two weeks is still holding ou with deadly results. Some 72 funerals occurred on Monday, and an equal number was postponed uutil yesterday, thera being a dearth of hea.'ses and carriages. Ordinarily, f.'ie death rate shows 25 per cent, youths; now, however, it shows 25 per cent, aged, shewing the dreaded disease is more fatal with in creasing years. Last night, many well known old citizens were roported dangerously ill. Tiie grip, in , fatal cases, runs into pneumonia with con sequent sudden death. The remains of Charles Arbuckle were buried in Allegheny Cemetery yesterday after nooo. The announcement that the remains were to be cremated, was incorrect. Some of the Democrats of this town are not pleased with the appointment of Robert S. Patterson for Harbor Master. It is not contended that he is not competent for the duties of the office for he really is very well quali fied, both in character and ability but tbe awful charge is made that be was opposed to Paltison's nomination, and wasn't anywhere near as warm as a good many other Democrats for his election. Well, these disgruntled Democrats will soon learn that when it comes to politics Governor Pattison isn't bothering with tho past. He is devoting himself strictly to the possi bilities of the future. Mr. Patterson's appointment to the office of Harbor Master is a matter of politics, and pretty smart politics, too. No one familiar with the Democratic situaiiou iu this city nceih to be rocniuded of the iufluence which Mr. Patterson wields with his party iu the wards comprising tbe First Conjrcssioual Distikt, aud there will be two dele gates from that district to tho next Democratic National Convention. Whether in office or out of office, Mr. Patterson is quite certain to control these delegates. The past can be for given ; the future must be looked out tor.Phila. Press. Administrator's Notice.
