UAKRISniltU LETTER. JlAiinisiit'RO, Fa., June 24, 1SP7. Well, perhaps the past hasn't been a busy week wllh this much abused legis laturepartly merited abuse, but most of it for that of which It is not guilty. Three sessions daily in the House, and the last of them extending almost to midnight of Saturday. And as a result prodigious amount of work has been accomplished. It had been discovered that the House was very much opposed to an extension of the session beyond the date aet for final adjournmen, and the "powers that be," that is, the rules com mittee, came to the conclusion, evidently, that it had better shape matters with that end in view. So the appropriation bills were ordered out of committee, and on Wednesday tho flood gates wore opened and nearly all were dumped at once, Borne 250 or more. They were road tho first time in tho afternoon of that day, the second time on Thursday, and Fri day and Saturday went through on final passage; that is, all but about 30, which will be finished up to-day. On Friday night the session of the House lasted un til 1:30 a. m. On Saturday the House was in session nearly fifteen hours. These appropriations are nearly all for private charities and State institutions, and are therefore not opposed on the floor. A lively little tilt occurred in the House Saturday over the $700,000 appro priation to the support of the National Guard. Mr. McElhaney, one of the .brightest of tho Allegheny delegation, - ;il a forcible speaker, offered an amend ment, which should have passed, cutting down the amount to $500,000, and in sup port of bis amendment dealt some sledgO' hammer blows, for which he was asked to apologiz.o, by some of the champions of the pretty "sojer boys" The coura- geoua Alleghenian held bis ground, how ever, and refused to be scared into an apology. On Friday, while a bill providing for the payment oi the committee's expenses which had charge of the Saunders-Roberts election contest, was under consider ation, it looked as though there might be trouble for a little while. The main cause of the turmoil was not so much on account of the bill Itself, as it was on ac count of the fact that the Speaker had put a "sub." in the chair, and the boya were taking advantage of the situation to air their views of some of the expense 1 items in the WJ,'f a,iri Bu wanted to talk Hi ffhee. ' Wben thaSpeaker saw the drift f things he took the gravel andjimme d lately brought order out of chaos. Lit tle episodes like this during the past week have lent spice to the proceedings which might otherwise beeu tame and monotonous. The only regretahle feature of this inci dent, to the writer, is that, just while it was at its height he received a card from Rev. C. C. Rumbergor of East Brady, re questing to see him a fow moments. It was the first really exciting incident of the sossiou, and my fear was that the genial Doctor might think it was an ev ery day occurrence, and hence a confirm ation of the bad reports which have gone out about this legislature, which is no worse, and in many respects much bet ter, than the average if I do have to say it myself. Dr. Rumberger, and a party of three other gentlemen from his town, were on a bicycle tour of the State, and in the afternoou went from here to Get tysburg, and from thence they will ride through a portion of Maryland, West Virginia and home. Perhaps the country members didn't score a home run this week in the House! For two years past, Senator Walter Mer rick of Tioga county, has given his best energies to solving the question of how to secure a more just and equitble distri bution of the State appropriation to the Common Schools. After weeks and mouths of study and bard labor, aud, might say, a demand from those high in political authority, to aid in this piece of justice, Senator Merrick succeeded, where every other attempt had failed, in passing such a bill through the Senate, It came over to the House, and, as Chair man of the Committee on Education, it naturally went into the bands of Mr Hammond of Westmoreland, for passage through the House. That gentleman very promptly proved himself wholly inadequate to the tusk, by his advice to the House to accept two or three amend merits proposed by Philadelphia's oldest member, Mr. Stewart, which iu effect would have nullified the intent of the bill, and given to the country a stone in stead of the bread they had asked for, Jim Moore, of liutler, than whom there is no brighter member iu the Housw readily "caught on," and his objection prevented .the amendments from beiug inserted in the bill. From this time on the bill w as in Moore's charge. "The little independent cush," as ho is often referred to, successfully guided tho bill through the House against heavy odds. It required backbone, and if Jim hasn't anything else in this world, no one who knows him will deny that be has au abundance of that. The bill was bit terly fought by the Philadelphia!!, who have for years past had a very uiioqual share of this money, aud as a last resort to kill the bill they attempted lilli buster -lug tactics, but these were promptly shut off by a motion for the "previous ques tion," which shuts off further debate. When this motion was made tho conster nation of the opponents of the bill was plainly seen. Evidoutly Speaker Boyer saw the justice of the fight of the coun try membership and promptly put the question, which was carried in fine form. Under the provisious of ibis bill Forest oouuty ought to get from $2,000 to $3,000 txtra. Iu any event its increase will be considerable. If the country districts have received no other consideration from this legislature they will have am ple cause for rejoiciug over tho passage of this bill. Governor Hastings will un doubtedly feign the bill for it is in keep ing with his mcsage to the legislature at the beginning. One of the most intricate parliamenta ry questions of the season was sprung on the House Inst Thursday evening, and ii you will pardon egotism, I will state that the writer did It. Some months ago a bill passed the House with scarcely a dissenting voice providing that in all cities where a fire alarm system was In vogue, all buildings, hotels, etc., should bo provided with au "instantaneous fire alarm." The bill looked very innocent, of course, and being sprung early in the session, every member voting for it sup posed ho was voting for something In the interest of humanity. Iu fact, the bill was popularly known as tho "servant girl's friend," for the reason that it made it obligatory on all owners ot buildings over two etorios In hoight, where a cer tain number of employes were engaged, to provide a system of "instantaneous fire alarm." Well, after the House had passed the bill It thought it had done a smart and righteous thing for humanity. But over In the Senate, whore thoy "knowasnaKe when they ace it," but never kill it, tho reptile was discovered at once, and after some dolay, (moroly for appearance's sake) that body passed the bill with one little amendment. In this shape the bill camo back to the House for concurrence in the Senate amend ments. By this timo every respectable member of tho House knew what ho was voting on, but didn't exactly understand how to get at it, and the amendments of the Senate were not concurred in. This loit tho Senate nothing to do but recede from its amendments. But when the House met at 8:00 o'clock in the evening, the writer moved to "reconsider the vote by which the House had refused to con cur in tho Senate amendments." Friends of the "snake" were on their foot at once, but didn't know what to do. So the mo tion was entertained and easily carried. The next motion was to "postpone fur ther action indefinitely," which carried unanimously. This was a proceedure never bofore attempted, and yet the Chair rulod that the action was proper, after all tho parliamentarians of the House had boen consulted. But the ac tion of the House on tho Senate amend ments bad already beon messaged back io me oenate, ana mat boily had as promptly receded from its amendments. otherwise there would have been some fun. Upward of one hundred members have petitioned the Governor to veto the bill, believing that it is in the interest of the Gamewell system of fire alarms, the only one that can supply the apparatus called for in this bill. The general appropriation bill passed second reading in the House last week aud was sent back to the committee. It will come up for final passage to-day, and if in i'Ji present shape will pass with scarcely a dissenting vote. It carries with it the usual appropriation of (5,500, 000 for the schools, but the Senate is jwl ting ready, so they say, to ajf'tbe ex- tra $500,000. Tins fy.YY be the battle roy al O.f .tho Xsion. It is doubtful if the House will concur in this ; nay it is al most sure that it will not. I predict that the appropriation to the common schools will remain as it is, and the credit will properly belong to the rural member ship for keeping it there. The Bliss beer bills came up in the House Friday evening, as amended in the Senate. The fact is, there wasn't a particle loft of them, the Senate having adopted entirely new measures, leaving scarcely anything of the bills sent over from the House. One measure, that re lating mercantile tax, was concurred in, but the other was voted down aiyl will, in all probability, go to a conference committee. What tho outcome will bo man who wears hair can't tell. Before they pass the House they will be fair to all interests. Rev. C. A. Rheile of Mt. Zion Luther an church, German Hill, stopped a few hours in town lost Tuesday ou his way to Baltimore, where he attended the an nual session of the Synod of his church' Yours for a sine die adjournment this week. J. E. W. Arnold's Room. Congrenito Arnold's Guberualor ial boom lias burnt the bounds of the big fhoe district and is reverberating through the valley of the West nnd climbing tho peaks of the Allegheny Mountains. It is a picturesque boom in many ways, and having beeu nur tured in tbo broad area of the Twenty-eighth Congressional district, the largest in tho State, it has not been cramped for room to grow. It gains strength from the fact that the big district was originally designed to group tho largest number of Demo crats togother, but has renounced its prophets to follow the Republican chariot, with Mr. Arnold as chariot eer. But whether it can withstand the withering sand storms aroused by the local booms io tho Twentieth, Twenty-third, Twenty-fifth, Twenty sixth and Twenty-seventh districts remain to he seeu before it passes over the mnuutains to meet Joe Scranlou, Connell, McCormiek aud the Wanaruaker barrel.

BROCK, ASSIGNED OK The prosperity of the Popocrat is the adversity of the country. It is not a good combination. Gen. Weyler should import a few Populists to quiet the populace who dislike to accept bis paper money. Our commerce with Cuba, which formerly amounted to 8100,000,000 a year has declined to $20,000,000. It is an expeusive war lo the United States as well as Spain. The Cretan insurgents are saiJ to be running affairs iu the interior of the island regardless of what is going ou in the spitports. They hold the mountains, aud insist that they will never again submit in Turkish rule. We had always supposed that Western newspaper men knew some thing about wool, especially if they lived iu a State that possessed any Considerable number of sheep. Hut there is a woolly. brain editor in Sioux City who lays down, laws and doc trines regaiding American sheep that certaiuly present new theories oven to free traders, who pride themselves upon having exhausted the known and the unknowu in support of thiir enfeebled free-trnde cause. Of course this free-trade editor of the Iowa Tribune has no facts to support his theories Free-traders never have. Facts are of no use to them, because they disprove their arguments. They prefer fiction. Hence it is not sur prising to fiod this student in the kin dergarten class of Professor Wilson speaking of the exports of woolen goods trom Bradford as recently given by the special correspondent of the American Enconomist iu the fol lowing language: As for thejwool-j-goods, which are arrivi;.'" .vVev" wore bound to come anyway, tariff or un tariff, to supply the domand which always exists for superior fabrics. The importers know of tis demand and are prepar ing for it in advauce so far as they may, which is not to such au extent as is represented because of the con stant change of styles aud patterns. The figures of Bradford's exports, as sent us, were taken from the re turns of United Stales Consul Meek er, an Ohio Democrat aud freetrader. Possibly the Iowa editor knows bel ter than the Bradford Consul that the exports of woolen and shoddy goods passing through the Bradford Consul ate are "not to such an extent as rep resented." But possibly he doesu't know better. If so, theu so much the worse for the facts, which must be distorted and misrepresented to suit the low woollv-brniu. The State of Iowa possesses up ward of half a million sheep. Tbey were worth $1,933,084 in Jauuary, iqvz, and only ji.jaus lour years later, (he loss averaging almost one dollar per head, from $3 42 in 1892 to $2 48 per sheep in 1890. This loss of nearly a dollar in tho value of the sheep belonging to Iowa farm ers occurred duriug "the period of free wool given by the Wilson law" which, so the Iowa editor says, "re suited in a marked improvement in both the quality and output of nur wooleu mills." We leave him to ex plain in the Iowa farmers how the improvement iu the manufacture of our wimlen goods has resulted so dis astrously to the sheep owners if not solely by the adoption of the Demo cratio policy of free-trade.
