A ?w Holiday Iw.
HABBisntJRo, Pa., June 21, 1897.
If thoro is one thing more than an
other that will hasten a sine die adjourn
ment it Is the kind of weather we hare
been having here for tho past few days
Had "Old Sol" gotten in hi work a
month ago as he has recently, I appre
hend some follow would have stumbled
onto some species of revenue legislation
that would havo brought about the lie
sired result and we eould have shaken
the dust of Hairisburg from our shoes
fortnight ago. But as it is, the Senate
refuses to rass the bills sent to it by the
House, almost any of which would bring
"revenuo to burn," and the boys as a
consequence are getting very tired, es
pecially thoso who have done their share
toward a speedier adjustment or the un
fieultics, and feel thnt they are not to
blame for delays,
As a whole tho present legislature,
though the most abused, perhaps, of any
In the history of the State, has really so
far been the best that lias assembled in
many years. This has reforence to the
character of the legislation which has
been passed and defeated. Thus far but
one really vicious piece of legislation has
passed the House, and that was pulled
through by a very narrow margin on
Thursday last, and is known as the
Simon electric light bill. Should those
members who voted for the bill be for
ever retired from politics by their out
raged constituents they would simply be
receiving their just deserts.
The storv about cutting down the com
mon school appropriation has again been
revived, and it is exasperating to learn
that some people high in ollicial life and
prominent in the party's councils are ad
vocating this move as a means by which
to save the charitable Institutions from
losing their usual allowance. To head
off this move a petition was circulated in
the House by Messrs. Young and Smith
of Tioga, and signed by more than one
hundred members, pledging themselves
to vote against any cut whatever In tho
appropriation to the Bchools, and unless
the most desperate means are resorted to
the schools will get their usual allowance.
Many members have expressed them
selves aa willing to remain in session till
now again flios before they will consent
to anything else.
Chaitman Marshall ot the appropria
tion committee says all of the appropri
ation bills will be reported out this week,
and as they will have the right of way
over all others it is expected that before
A new holiday low has passed both
branches of the Legislature, and is
ikoly to receive Executive approval
for the very good reason that it brings
the legal holidays of Pennsylvania
nto harmony with those of ihe other
principal states, tints avoiaing ine
confusion in the transaction of busi
ness which has heretofore arisen when
a holiday ws celebrated in this stale
on Saturday and some other states on
Monday.
The legal holidays established by
the new law are as follows:
1. January 1, New Year's Day.
2. February 12, Lincoln's birthday.
8. Third Tuesday of February, elec
tion day.
4. February 22, Washington's Birth-
dny.
6. Good Friday.
6. May 30, Memorial Day.
7. July 4, independence Day.
8. First Monday of September, Labor
Day.
9. First Tuesday after the first Mon
day of November, election day.
10. December 25, Christmas Day.
11, Every Saturday after 12 o'clock,
noon.
February 12, Lincoln's birthday, is
a new holiday. The third Tuesday
of February, the local election day,
is made a full iustead of a half holi
day, as heretofore. When Memorial
Day falls on Sunday it is to be cele
brated on Monday ioslead nf Satur
day, and the first Monday instead of
the first Saturday if September is
designated as Labor Dity, these being
all the chaDges from the old law. s
While it is probable that these
changes in the law are mostly for the
better, it is desirable that further
tiukering with the holiday law shall
cease. The frequent changes and the
coustaut addition of uew holiday, be
sides being of doubtful public utility,
render l. impossible lor the average
citizen to keep any sort of tab upon
our legal holidays.
Ihe important report comes from
Washington that President McKin
ley will do longer interpose his iu
flueiice against the passage by the
House of the Cuban belligerency res
olution which has already passed the
Senate It is said that the President
defines his position in regard to the
resolution by remarking: "Let the
people have their way." It may be
taken for granted that the recent
course of Spain in giving renewed
approval to the Cauovas Ministry,
and its evident purpose to permit
Gen. Weyler to continue his policy of
exterminating non-combatant", leaves
our government without a hope that
real coucessions will bo offered to
Cuba, or the warfure agaiust its poo
pie conducted on civilized lines. The
President therefore decides that tho
time has come for Congress, as the
representative of the people, to use
deliberate judgment in regard to
granting belligeraut rights to the
struggling Cuhans.
Disappointment follows disap
pointi'nent among the Popocratic
leaders. Not only are they disap
pointed in the fact that the Republi
cans have present d a solid ft out on
the tariff uuestiou and failed to
quarrel among themselves upon cor
rency, or iny omer question, on
thev are even more distressed to find
their own party falling to pieces on
the quesliou nf protection as well as
silver, since (heir vote against tb
protective features of the tariff bill is
growing weaker daily, while their ar
guments iu behalf nf free silver are
being disproven by every week de
velopments since the election.

Populist leaders are advising
against a continuance nf the fusion of
last fall between their parly and the
Democrats. The uncertain attitude
of the Democratic party ou the two
great questions, protection and silver,
is the cause of this unwillingness to
continue the uuhnly alliance of last
year. The fact that large numbers
of Democrats in every stale where
campaigns are to take place this fall
are refusing to support the free coin
age of silver, aod that many mem
bers of that party iu Congress aod
The fear that the conference over
the disagreement betwpen the House
and Senate on the tariff hill would
be a long one is being very material

Committee, and returned to practi

have determined to vote for no new rev
enue measures until the Senate has pass
ed the bills taxing beer 1 cent per gallon
The Senators have been engaged in the
iguominous task of trying to dodge this
ijueation for several weeks, but it begins
to look as thougli they would have to
swallow the dose at last, or go home to
their people with the blame fastened to
them of having blocked legislation that
would solve the revenue problem in a
York iniuute.
The Senate investigation of tho insur
ance scandal has thus far appeared to be
considerable of a farce, and the attempt
to fasten any unclean thing ou the skirts
of Sonator Shortt of Warren seems to
have been abortive of any results what
ever. No one who has the personal ac
quaintance of Mr. Khortt here ever took
any stock iu the alleged charges against
his honesty, and all developments in this
instance have failed to shake their confi
dence in him.
The oleo investigation camu to a sud
den ending by the House's receut refusal
to extend the time of said investigation
for a further period of uuarly two years
The friends of the farmer and geuuiue
butter have all along believed that the
inquiry never was oouoeived iu good
faith, but was started lor the purpose of
bringing about tho repeal of the oleo
...ir-Hi-inn law. which has been such a
prolectiou to the farmers of Penusylva
uia. Henoe the action of the House iu
putting iu foot down ou any further ex-
lunsiou of tne urce. .
which the free traders are indulging
iu about the alleged probability that
Japan will retaliate upon the passage
of the new tarifT bill by shutting out
American goods. Her statesmen and
fluauciers are too wise to cut off one
dollar's worth of market for Amer
ican goods, when by so doing they
will destroy four dollars' worth of
market for their own.
Every side of the Cuban question
is being considered by President Mc
Kioley now, and a nurse of action
is likely to be iudicaied in the near
future The importance and gravity
of ihe issues involved and possible
consequences of a mistake are so great
that the President and his advisers
are moving with the utmost caution,
as auy judicious citizen would do if
such crave responsibilities were
placed upon his individual shoulders
The trsde reviews aud daily pa
pers of the country unite in the nser
tion that business is brightening in
all parts nf the United Slates More
men are employed, the volume of
new orders is increasing, and the
amouut of work done is steadily
cainiuL'- With the final action on
the tariff bill, which may be expec
ted during the present month, an in
creased improvement is constantly
expected.
People who are surprised that the
Republicans in the Senate are not an
swering iu detail tho attacks made by
the Democrats upon the pending tar
ifT bill need not suppose that it is bo-
cause of lack of urgumuut or fuels
upon which to base. them. Their si
lence is simply herause of their un-
williugnebg to consume a moment of
time more than is absolutely neces
sarv in lirtling the bill before ihe
Senate.

If farm prices do nut stop ad vane
ing aud silver prices do uot stop their
downward course, there will be noth
ing left to sustain the chief theory of
the free-coinage orators of last fall
that prices of farm products kept
pace with thnse of silver. Leading
farm products have increased in price
from 50 to 100 per ceut. since this
beautiful theory was exploited on the
stump last full, while the price of sil
ver has meantime steadily decreased.
