THE FOREST REPUBLICAN. . t. WCNR, . tDITOft 4 PSOPSltTOB. WEDNESDAY, JUNE 3, 18!1. STATE CAPITAL GOSSIP. IlAURisnuRo, May 28, 1891. The last week Las seeu the usual busy ecenee of the last days of Legis lative bodies, both Houses being io session from 10 a. m. until midnight, and into the morning, and on Wednes day from 10 a. m. until noon Thnrs. day, with only brief intermissions for meals or lunch. W the State legisla tion it can be fairly said, that party pledges have been fulfilled. There has been relief to local taxation through the $5,000,000 to common schools, and as stated before in these letters, it outlines a policy that will eventually wipe out local taxation for schools, leaving the expense to be borne by the Slate. The ballot reform bill has passed both Houses and is in the hands of the Governor. It is true that it is not all that it should be nor as the House passed it, but the Senate receded from some of its amendments and sooner than kill the bill or remain all summer, the House concurred both political parties voting for the bill. The bill was not in any shape a necessity for the rural districts, the present law being good enough for them, but it is needed in the large cities where the ward-heeler aud polit ical bum needs to be cut out of a job. The system is now law in "21 States and gives general satisfaction. The next Legislature will be able to jadge of any defects in tho new law, that is, if it becomes a law through the Gov ernor's signature, and remedy them. The Judiciul apportionment bill passed finally, as did also the Con gressional ; if the latter is vetoed by tho Governor, no level headed man will blame bim, it is substantially just what we have now, with a new Con gressman for Allegheny and one for Philadelphia. The House Senatorial bill was doctored in the Senate, to make districts for particular individ uals. The Houso Legislative appor tionment committee refused to accept the Senate's amendments, some of the Senators then intimated that tiicy would not talk any JoDger about it to the House comiuiuee, and that the latter must come to the Senate's terms. ' This got up the "Scotch-Irish" of Chairman Hays, and he refused to yield. The committee of the House stood to a man with Hays, and the con sequence was no Senatorial apportion ment bill was passed finally. Chair man Hays and the House committee were right, the terms of the Senate were unreasonable and unjust, and the House didn't "have to" when they didn't "want to." Under what is known as the Boyer bill the tax on the market value of corporations is raised from 4 to 5 mills making an increase of revenue from that source alone about $2,500, 000. The tax on personal property is now 4 mills, an increase from that source of about $570,000 per year; three-fourths of this tax now goes back to the counties. Under this bill near ly $100,000,000 of invested capital that has not before paid any tax has now to come down with its quota of taxation. Under the bill the tax on banks is increased and will pan out some $150,000 more. So that for one whack the bill hits them pretty hard, with the prospect of more to follow. The usual presents were made to the Speaker and clerks just before adjourn ment, and it is only just to say that from the Speaker down, they deserved the commendations as well as the presents they received. Of the Legis- ' lature as a body it can be said that it will compare favorably with any of its predecessors, but as to individuality it will not, for the General Assembly of this Stale has had many great men in its make up in days gone by; while the present body, neither in Senate or House, has even one that can be so called. The present Legislature, how ever, has many men of more than av erage intelligence, and they have done their work fairly well. It is always to be remembered that everv session the are maoy new men, and, at least half the session is gone before they, to use a slaog phrase, "catch on," and then it is too late for them to do much. Of the House of Representatives this much can be truly said: They kept faith with the people, and this regard lees of party. It was an honest House, not a taint of corruption rests upon it. It was a House that was not "bossed" on either side; the Republicans would not yield one inch to dictation, and it is well known that even when parties high in authority tried to run the Democrats in a machine groove that the rank and file of the party in the House wouldn't be run that way. No vicious or bad legislation has been passed, while maoy bad bills have been killed. From time to time you have had in these columns a brief syn opsis of what was passing in the legis lature of interest to the country. It has been a pleasure to write them for the information of your readers, as it also has been pleasure and an honor to represent this county in that bodr. For the many kind letters received and suggestions made, vour renresen tative returns his hearty thanks to your readers and his constituents, and now to tbem and Harrisborg, good byel President Harrison's tour has effectually squelched the "grandfather's hat' business, by proving that Mr. Harrison has ability enough of his own without having to depend either upon his ancestors or npoo the statis tics of the encyclopedia to make him self popular with the people. There are few men who could make as many or as able a set of speeches as those be delivered while on his memorable lour, aud his ability is now conceded on all sides. The free trade democratic press has at last beon forced to admit that we are manufacturing tin-plate iu this country. The New York Times, which is a king bee in that class of papers. eaiu receuwy in an editorial: "JNo doubt Mr. Laufman can, and does make tin-plate. No doubt other American manufacturers are making it in limited quantities." Well, they couldn't very well be expected to be making it in targe quantities when the tin plate schedule of the McKinley tariff act doesn't go into effect until the first of July, could theyf Before the McKinley bill was passed not a pouud of tin plate was made in Amer ica. Isn't it a strong argument in favor of that bill that we are making it, even in "limited quantities," so soon after the passage of that measure? -i .i ... . Tue shutting down of the tin plate factories in England because of the McKiulcy bill means that the tin plate factories of the Uoited States are in operation. And it means a great deal to tho American workingman. "We will sweep the country," says Senator PefTer, "as the cyclone sweeps the Western prairies." Ruiu and devastation mark the path of the cy clone. 1$ sweeps life and property away in its dreadful progress, i a i About $26,000,000 will be due on account oj Pensions June 4, and the Democratic press has been laboring to create an impression that the cash in the Treasury would be short of this araouut, and the veteran's claims al lowed go to protest. Secretary Foster haa contradicted these mis chievous statements, and assured the public that the Treasury will be amply provided to not only pay all pensions but all current claims against the Government. A Washington correspondent has discovered that Mr. Blaine is losing his mind, and, in fact, has for some lime been in a slate of mental collapse. The Marquis di Rudini, Lord Salis bury and others who have recently been grappling with Mr. Blaine, will now be relieved. They have all along been undoubtedly of the opinion that something was wrong, and after each set-to with Mr. Bluine have pondered deeply on the question of what bad hit them. Now they know. It was Mr. Blaine's weak mind. The corres pondent who made this great discovery conclusively proves his case when be abserts that on several well authenti cated occasions Mr. Blaine has ap peared bored by the conversation of attaches of legations who have called upon him, and did not remember all that they had said when be met them again. Now, this is most seriouB, as any one familiar with the Washington attache will How. But the most pitiable thing about it all is the state ment that when the last embryo diplo mat took leave of Mr. Blaine, the Secretary "looked as if he could not have stood the pressure maoy minutes longer." New York Tribune, TnE Bering Sea troubles have pro gressed so far toward settlement that England ibsues a blue book on the subject. This is interesting; but it is pertinent to inquire if the book is called blue because it reflects Lord Salisbury's feelings when he coutem plates the- ruins of bis former policy re garding the seals. Pitteburg Dispatch. Tue tendency among those newspa pers who don't know anything about it is to abuse the Legislature. Tbey don't know what tbey are talking about, and they simply write them selves down a set of ignoramuses when they assail men who for months labor for the good of the people, and at best get only curses and kicks. Some of the men who write glibly about the legislators and their short-comings ought to get elected and come to liar risburg for just one session. Along about the time of adjournment they would eat humble pie and declare by all the gods that tbey never did such bard work in their lives, and nothing could induce them to stand for re-election.
