THE FOREST REPUBLICAN. i. C. WINK, Editor 4 Fnofrntroii. WEDNESDAY, JULY 14, 181)7. llrpublirnn Ticket. District Attorney, I M. CI,AUK. Coroner, l))t J. W. MORROW. County Surveyor, JAMES D. DAVIS. The, Passing o( the Legislature. 1 lie Legislature of 1807 liaa per haps been tlie most roundly abused of any that has assembled for years, and never was one more unjustly censur ed. Time will demonstrate tbat it was one of the best bodies uf repre sentative men, taken as a whole, that has assembled at the State Capital iu the past two decades. We say time will demonstrate this, because it will take time to show the people that the monstrous newspaper reports of wholesale corruption are totally with out fouudation in fact. It will come out some day that no legislature oj late years has passed less vicious leg islation than the one just closed, and that for the enactment of pure and wholesale laws for the people it will more than average op with the beet. The saving of the common school ap propriation from any cut is one of the achievements for which duo credit should bo given, since the edict had gone out that a million should be taken off. The passage of the Mer rick bill providing for a more equit able distribution of that fund is an other accomplishment that should re dound to the credit uf every country me tuner of the late sesaion. This measure will put thousands of dol lars ioto the country school districts, money that has heretofore unjustly beeu going to the larger cities aud thickly populated counties. The people of tho country will realize the benefits from this law as the increased amounts come to them. Maoy other equally beneficial acts of the last legislature could be ' men tiooed, but for the preseut we prefer to quote from the Puuxsutawney Spirit, whose editor, Hon. W. O. Smith, was a member of that body, having served, with emiuent ability, his fourth term, and koows whereof he speaks : "The Legislature just closed, while it will not rank among the best that nab assembled in fiarnsburg, cor taiuly does not deserve the reputa tion it has gained of being the worst. While it was made up largely of new members, who did not realize tbat they were inviting the deluge wheu tbey voted to authorize the appoint ment of a lot of useless investigating committees, the members generally meant to do right and did the best they could with the light they had. "The leadiug issue in the last Leg islative campaign was the selection of a United States Senator. Little was thought of a candidate' qualifi cations outside of his poaitiou on the Senatorial question, consequently great numher ot men in iio way adapted to legislative work were elec ted. "But when the work of the Lesris Jature is shorn of the bugaboos erec leu "around ana about it by uews paper correspondents anxious to star tie the readers of their papers with stories of corruption and extrava gance, it will be found uot to have been a bad legislature after all. If a lawyer were to frame an indictment against it for tbe bad work it has done and were to make up bis counts with the House Journal, it would cause him to scratch bis head with perplexity. He could not commence with the Lexow committee bill, for tbat never mad.i its escape from com mittee. Grace church expense bill could not have been included, for the Uovenor was responsible for every cent of tbat. It could not be charg ed with making extravagant appro priations to investigating committees, for never have these bills been sub jected to more careful scrutiny or shaved down so closely. "J he worst work this Legislature did escaped criticism by the press the passage of a bill giving a more complete monoply to al' companies having franchises in municipalities, aud a bill requiring certain buildings in all towns and cities where a gener al fire alarm system ex'mts to be pro vided with fire alarm boxes. The first was solely to the iu tercet of cer tain corporations, and tbe second was for the benefit of tbe manufacturers of a certaiu kind of fire alarm. "The Legislature, however, did some good work, for which it receives little credit, which other Legislatures have persistently refused to do. It passed a bill providing for a more just and equitable method of distrib uting tbe school appropriation, which will give the rural districts more money and the towns and cities less. It passed a bill taxing aliens, and al so a bill requiring the retention by employers af aliens of sums sufficient to pay tbe taxes regularly assessed against such alien employes. If the former is declared unconstitutional, the letter will still be a good thing it passed all the reform bills that were worthy to pass to which the Re publican party was pledged. It took care of every worthy charity. It gave the mual appropriations to the publio schools, and provided the revenue without increasing the taxes of those who could not uU'ord to bay it. It parsed legislation to preserve the for ests. It initiated a system of publio road improvement through State aid, and it pasted two or three hundred other acts that will bo found to be good, '"Hut because a few 'thrifty' mem bers who had themselves appointed on investigating committees in order to torn au honest penny in the way nf charging up expense accounts ex hibited a little too much skill iu tbe charging line for new members, the whole Legislature is condemned by public sentiment. "This is wrong. The people will find it out after awhile, and instead of treating their representatives like escaped convicts, they will at least accord them that degree of respecta bility due to a well-behaved tramp." Sign The Hill, (.'oTprnor. It 18 noted with a good deal of sat isfaction that the mercantile kings of tbe large cities of the Stale are making a great kick about the uew mercantile tax bill passed by the receul legislature. This is one of the lis designed to raise additional rev enue, and, as a natural consequence, meets with opposition from the big fellows, who have of late been prac tically monopolizing the mercantile business of the Stale but have been escaping their just ehare of taxation, nd as a mat er of course the smaller merchants have beeu fooling the bills, as it were. 1 Ins bill compels- the arge department stores to pay taxts in proportion to their business, aud this is why tbey complain, and try to make it appear that this legislature was corrupt. It is perfectly natural that the city papers should take up their fight, for much of their suste nance is drawn from these hi jf store keepers in advertising. Great pres sure is being brought to bear on the Governor to induce him to veto the bill, but the great mass of the com roou people all over the Slate look to the good sense and backbone of the Lxecutive to approve the bill, not alone because it will add to the reve nues of tho State, but because it is fair and eminently just measure. The decline in tho deficit is enough in itself to prove that the advance agent of prosperity is coming up to expectations Onto Populists have discovered that the Democratic candidate Tor Governor is President of a nalioual bank. This will prevent fusion no- ess the consideration is increased. Unci.E Sam, during the fiscal year just closed, coined 21,203,701 silver dollars. More than a fourth of the entire coinage was silver.

Chop news will be scanned eager- lv from this time until, eight or ton weeks hence, corn is sufficiently ma tured to stand nil sorts of alterna tions of temperature. Thus far the western crop reports have been favor able. Wheat promises to be an average yield, while tho cotton and corn outlook is bright. Good crops, which mean cheap food for the con sumer, and al the same tinis a lair return in the aggregate to the pro ducer, will be an iiuportant fuctur in the restoration o. prosperity. AT D.

Highest market prion paid for Hides, Pelts, Wool, Fur and Ginseng Root. The best authorities in Cuba think Weyler's campaign in the preseDt "off" season will be ns bud a failure an wcro his demnuatrulioiis iu the past. Spaniards on the ixUtnl as in Spain are begiuning to realize that the insurgents are steadily growing stronger, and that the chances of the government to regain its authority in the disaffected provinces which comprise the greater part of the is land, are hopeless. The government foels that an acknowledgement of de feat would instantly upset the Minis try, and might even overthrow the dynasty, and pretend to feel confident of success, but, from present indica tions, that concession caunol be put off much longer. Employers of Aliens. J he new law taxmg alien labor iu Pennsylvania went ioto effect July 1st, aud employers, whether in dividual, associations, partnerships or corporations, should uoderstaud the fact that they will be liable for tax ot three ceuts a day tor every unnaturalized alien they employ in any department of labor. Employers are especially author ized to deduct this tax from the wages of their employes, and they are made directly responsible to the county for the payment of such tax If any employer shall disregard the law, tbey will not only be required to pay the tax, but they will be subject to punishment for misdemeanor by the imposition of a fine of not less than 6200 and not exceeding $1,000 for each offeDse. Tbe County Com missiooers ot each county are re quired to furnish proper blanks to be used by employers iu making sworn returns. There will doubtless be many ef forts made to deceive employers by unnaturalized aliens asserting that they are uaturalized, but the law will Dot excuse employers for being im posed upon iu that way. The re sponsibility imposed upon employers by the law gives them the clear light to demand satisfactory evidence of naturalization when any foreigner claims to be a naturalized citizen. They have the tame legal right to demand the evidence of mturaliza tion that a sworn election officer would have when a man of question, ed citizenship asked the right to de posit his vote. Ibis law applies to all claeses of employers whether they employ one man or ten thousand, and all should appreciate the fact that it will be scrupulously enforced. The work- mginen m every community are greatly interested iu the strict en forcement of the law, aud they will be vigileut to the last degree to have the tax collected for every day's labor performed by au unnaturalized alieu. This is uot a law made fur the galleries ; it is a law that appeals to the workingmeu of every section ot the state, and when they have it iu their power to compel strict obe dience to it by every employer.
