THE FOREST REPUBLICAN. J IN, tOITOS t PSOPRItTOS. WEDNESDAY, MAY 13, ISM. REPUBLICAN COUSTT COMMITTEE MEETIXG. The members of the Republican County Committee of Forest County, are requested to meet at the Sheriff' office, in Tionesta, on Tuesday evening, May 19, 1891, (court week) at 7:30 o clock, for. the purpose of setting a time for holding the Primaries, and to transact auch other business as mav come before them. It is hoped there Kill be a good attendance. J. C. Scowdes, Chairman, STATE CAPITAL GOSSIP. llARRtsnuno. Mav 9. 1831 ' ' As intimated in the letter of last week, an effort was made in the House to reconsider the motion by which th Road bill passed finally. Just as the debate got the hottest and angry words began to be somewhat frequent the clerk of the Senate appeared with the message that the Senate bad concurred in the House amendments. That placed the bill out of the reach of the House and of course stopped all (lis cussion. It now has to run the chances of the veto ax, and report says that up to date the Governor is unde cided as to what he will do. The Ballot Reform bill has been reported from the Senate committee, but the House would hardly recognize it as the same bill they bandied. The amendments are not as bad as the en emy makes them, but they are loo bad for the House to concur in as they ft I d ml . mnA it ma B.fAl. I.. - ' 1 . as the bill now reads the House will not concur and ought not to. The simple truth is that, as reported from the Senate committee, it is the boldest kind of political hypocricy, both par ties in that committee being concerned in it. The amendments bear the un mistakable impress of the hand of the . ward politician and city boss. If we are to have ballot reform at all (and both parties were pledged to it) we want it in its most perfect and yet simple form; to fix it in such way that it is simply additional machinery for the bosses of each paity, and almost certain of veto by the Governor, is not either good sense or good politics. What will be done with it in the Sen ate proper is hard to say, for it is no toriously true that the Senators keep on the fence pretty much all the time. They get down a few boards on one side and a spasm strikes them and up they get to the top, and then try the dodge of goiDg down the other side for a board or two to climb back again. The Taggart Revenue bill will be very apt to meet the same fate in the Senate as the Ballot Reform bill. As stated before in these letters the prin ciple of that bill is correct, the pur pose and object being to compel cor poratiops to bear their just share of taxation and relieve the farmer aud laborer proportionately. That the details and machinery and a number of the features of the bill were badly arranged was also pointed out, the latter, to considerable extent, the granger was willing to adjust and many concessions were made. That it could be made perfect or anywhere near so at this session was hardly to be expected; the bill however de served better consideration from the Senate committee than it got. As it originally stood it was satisfactory to but few, as the Senate committee will report it it will be satisfactory to none. There will be a big kick in lie House, and as foretold in a recent letter, the outcome will be an increase of tax for State purposes on the corporations and a return to the counties in the shape of large appropriations for school pur poses. This will afford some relief to local taxation, and if the principle can be carried out year by year until the school tax is born entirely by tax on the corporations it will be a great relief, and that is the scheme at present in the minds of some RcDub lican leaders. The truth is that ad justment of taxation so that the bur den is borne equally, is a subject for experts, and one that they have been trying to satisfactorily solve for many years without any great success. That the difference of opinion between T Tnll Ca an1 finnnta n flnA . ... a measures will raise a conflict between them is quite possible. The House, and justly so, consider themselves the popular and representative body, and if they make a fight they will win, how much of a fight they will make at this late day, just now is hard to say. The apportionment bills are out of committee. Forest county is placed in a Republican district Cougressiou ally, with Jefferson, Clarion, Arm strong and Venango; of coure this is satisfactory and what your member set out to do. Seoatorially we are buiied as usual in a Democratic dis trict, (the bold over Senators always make this apportionment difficult) the only difference in the new and old ar rangeraent being that Cameron is loft out. This makes a pretty small dis trict but it gives our Democratic brethren in Forest the chance of one in three instead of one in four es for merly, which ought to be satisfactory to them. His excellency will proba bly settle it all, however, with a veto if he does it leaves two Congressmen at Large to be elected and that will help the Republicans by strengthen iog the State ticket. Judicially wo aro in with Warren as before. From this to the end of the session will be exciting and many a hard fight lost and won. Will try and keep the county posted. Jmiout "tin, tio, American tin! at a lot of free traders, and they go into spasms. President Harrison returns home better known and better understood by the people of America than any Chief Magistrates for years. The pub lic, in reading bis delightful speeches. has been enabled to participate in the pleasure of the tour. A recent visit by Senator Quay to the Stato Capital causes the Telegraph if that city to remark that whenever Senator Quay comes to Harrisburg the small Democrats get on the other ide of the fence and yell "boss" through the knot holes. Their agony nd excitement is ludicrous. Declare that the tariff is not a tax in the hearing of a free trader, and he gets a caniption fit. If that $1,600,000 is placed in the Sinking Fund, there will not be any I'ennsylvania debt to speak of. What other State in the Union, as big and great in every way, can point to so proud a record? There isn't any. Pennsylvania thirty years ago bad "a lebt that was painful to dwell uuon. To-day she doesn't owe a cent that she cannot pay. And, by the way, Pcnn lylvania is a Republican State, and the debt was paid by Republicans. It is the National Farmers' Alliance nd Industrial Union, now. Colonel L. L. Polk is its president. He says it is a unit for free silver and ocaiust Cleveland. This synopsis is valuable for historical reference, as the chances are that it will be totally changed by next week. The McKiuley tariff cave the for eign exporter free raw materials within 1 per cent, of the duty, and yet the Boston Herald calls it "the latest case of crawfishing" to claim that the pur pose of the McKinley tariff was never to interfere with foreign trade. The McKiuley tariff has done and is doing more to increase foreign trade, so fur as exports are concerned, than any tanfl before passed. Phila. Press. A Washington correspondent writes: The report of the New Or leans grand jury declining to indict anybody for the lynching of the Ital lana excited very little comment bore, as it was exactly what everybody ex pected. Rudioi was several days ahead of time in notifyiog the Marquis Imperiali, who was left in charge of the Italian legation by Btron Fava, the minister, of the severance cf all diplomatic relations with the United States. He should have waited until the report of the grand jury was made public, and then he might have taken that as an excuse for his action. It will not be fully decided until the President returns what action the government will take, but it is said that two members of the Cabinet now in the city aro in favor of withdraw- ng our minister and closing the American legation in Rome until such time as the Italian government shall recover its benses, and I tbiuk it prob able that that it just about what will ie done. The Federal Council of Venezuela has approved the reciprocity proposi tion submitted to that government by Secretary Blaine, without dotting an or crossint- a "t." and all that is necessary to make it a law is the proc lamation of the President, which will probably be issued soon after Mr. Harrison gets back to Washington. and another market will be opened wider to American lartn products and manufactures, and still the reciproci ty idea goes marching proudly alori" cunstautly addiug to American pros peruy. The latest aud most treuoiallv ac cepted rumor as to what is to be done in the Behring Sea muddle is to the effuct that Eneland and tha United States have decided to jointly police the iiohring be lor the purpose of presenting the taking of seals this season by anyone, if it can be doue. Whether this be entirely correct I cannot say, but there are good reasons for believing that some such agree ment has been or will be reached, and I have just been told that it was prob able that Russia would be caked, if it has not been already, to join in the agreement. It is said that l lie Pre.. o - - dent obtained some new and important inlonnatiou on this subject while on the Pacific, coast, which was .mm a. diately wired to Mi. Blaine. Still in the Lead!!
