THE FOREST REPUBLICAN. . I. WINK, Editor 4 Pkopbhtoh. WEDNESDAY, APRIL 15, 1801. STATE CAHTAL GOSSIP, IIarrisduro, April 10, 1891. Forest county this week was promi nent in the Senate and in nearly every daily newspaper in the State. It hap pened this way: A few days before Governor Beaver's time expired Dr. Stoneciphcr resigned the Coronership of Forest county. There was but one applicant for the position ami the name of that opplicaot was placed before Governor Beaver and the ap pointment promptly made. About this time Beaver had also appointed a State Superintendent of Education, and others. By request of Demo cratic Senators as a mark of courtesy to incoming Governor rattison, these appointments were laid over in the Sonate until after the inauguration of the latter. On January 29th Gov ernor Pattisou's cabinet and Beaver's appointees, including the Coroner of Forest county were confirmed by the Senate. Two months went by, and then the editor of the Forest National, through Mr. Ileosel, bad Governor Fattison appoint another gentleman, (the commission of Beaver's appointee not having been issued) this geutle man was also a Republican, and no body kicking, the Senate, in a moment ot lorgettulness, confirmed the second appointment, and the commission was issued. Soon after the question was this thing happened, and the member soon found out, and so did the Repub lican Senators. Time went by until last Thursday, when the Democrats wanted three appointees of Governor Battison's confirmed. The Republican Senators, (awakened by the Forest county incident), replied that the com missions of the Superintendent of Tublio Instruction and of State Li brarian, appointed by Governor Beu ver aud confirmed by the Senate two months ago, had not been issued, and that the Democrats had not kept faith with the Republicans. The Democrat ic Senators squirmed, and said they thought the commissions would issue all right, and then the Republicans brought up the Forest county Coro nership, and said that showed what the Democratic administration had done and could do agaio, and they emphatically declined to confirm any more important appointments until the commissions for Governor Beaver's appointments were issued. So these worthy Democrats are out in the cold waiting fur the administration to come to time. The jolly editor of the Na tional Democrat has been ill for some time, and it seems to have afforded him a great deal of amusement in his sickness, to think how he circumvent ed the member for Forest and got the laugh on the Republicans. That's all right, glad he bad hie fun to shorten his weary hours; but let us look into this funny business. The jolly editor was a strong Wallace man and when Governor Pattison was nominated re port says he packed his little grip and swore by the holy poker, or something else, that the Republicans bad nomi nated Pattison and now they could elect him, be was going hunting to Michigan. He went, anyhow he stayed away until near the cIobo of the campaign and it was cold comfort candidate Pattison got from him. Now, seeing that his move in the Cor oner business has served the very laudable purpose of waking up the Republican Senators to the fact that ooe of Governor Beaver's appointees was knocked out and the commibsions of three others, not yet issued, it would strike an unprejudiced mind that the Republicans ought to euiile, . and rise up and say, "thank you, ah, thank you." Then again, when one remembers the strong Wallace feeling of the editor, and all that followed, and also when one remembers that iu seeking to knock out so slick, Beaver's appointee, ye editor ignored, absolute ly Ignored, the few hundreds of worthy Democratic gentlemen iu Forest county, who would have made excel lent Coroners, to do what T This, to have appointed a gentleman (and the word is used sincerely and advisedly) who was an ultra Republican, a strong adherent aud friend of Senator Dela mater, to strong that he rode with him in his special car on his elecliou trip, and worked hard for Dalauiater's election. To the appointment of this strong Republican gentleman, the Re publicans could not object aud cer tainly did not. Now, then, taking all this into account, the Wallace position, the cold comfort lor Pattison iu the election, the ignoring of those of his own political faith, aud the securing of the appoiutment of a strong Re. nublican and ..li,,,,,. Kt ni "... ana lue waging up ot the Senate, u not lue tries or joue played, not on tin Republicans, but on His Excelleucy Robert E. Pattison, Governor of thii Commonwealth? Ah ! how we smile From a Democratic standpoint it dou'i now look so very, very funny, does it? And now, that the light has been thrown on this little affair, and the Republican laugh echoes over the bills of Forest county, let some one gently draw the curtain and close the shut ters lest the noise disturb the patient. There has been no final legislation this week of much interest to Forest county, but a great deal of work has been done in both Senate and House. Next week three sessions a day will be held and so continue until the sessiou is ended. This morning a large num ber of appropriation bills were got tnioiigu Hie committee and whI give hard work to members from this on. Tho apportionment hills are not yet out of committee, that is tho Republi can bills, which of course aie the only ones that will he pn.sed. However Judicially your member ha assurances that forest will bo left where it is. Tho Legislative hills will also nass : the Senatorial aud Congressional will cause much anguish of heart and more political figuring. ' An efflrt will be made to put them through, though the feoliog is that tho Republican bills will get a veto. The ballot reform bill will probably pass and ought to pass though there is some opposition being worked up against it. The Granger tax bill is not out of committee A brief history of that bill is a necessity. The tax commission was composed of nine members. Five made a mnioritv report, four a minority report. Ex perts say the minority report was the best, however the Republican party w nlprftraH nn ia .;.;nn ,u Grangers adopted the majority report and it so came to tho House. A large number of copies of tho bills were sent out as soon as printed, but few objections either by newspapers, letters or remonstrances appeared. But few opponents of the bill appeared before the Ways and Meaus committee while many advocates appeared in its favor. ine members, and especially the coun try members, were deluged with letters and petitions praying for and instruct iug them to do all in their power to pass the bill. Tho rain of letters and petitions were simply a holy terror, the demaud was imperative, the in structions defiuito. Many of the members knew that while the principle aimed at in the bill was good, yet its construction, its requirements and its burdeus were something fearful to con template. What was to bo done? Only ooe of two things: obey iuslruc lions or take the bit in their teeth aud defeat it. To do the latter with the feeble opposition and in the face of positive instructions, was political sui cide; for mark you, it's harder to sat isfy people that you did right in dis regarding instructions than it is to satisfy them by following instructions and letting them see it afterwards. So the House, knowing that there was ample time for the people to once more express themselves before it passed the Senate, put it through the House. No sooner was this done, than the news papers of the State, that up to that tune had taken but little notice, and had but little advice to give, began to "lam' it to the House. It was a ter rible bill, a fearful thing, a damnable affair, etc , etc. Constituent wrote in anger and came down to the Capital in wrath. "Why in Joppy did you vote for such a bill as that." was the question, and the calm answer was and is: x our namo is on the petition ; I am here not as Tout Joues, but your representative, I obeyed your instruc tions and those of my constituents, you aro now sorry for it, and so am I." That's the history, but we all know that it will be amended in the Senate, sent back to the House aud wo will get at it again, and now that the peo ple understand what they did not be fore Senators nill have a good deal more latitude than the House had. Tue Farmers,' Allianco Legislatures have been and gone and done noth ing. It has been a case of great fear and no fruits. The farmer is just where he was before, dependent on protection for the best market he has or any farmer has ever had. Fhila. iVess.
