(Special Correspondence.)
Philadelphia, Feb. 19. Interest tn
state politics continues to be riveted
upon ths plans of the stalwart Repub
lican leaders to aid the reform element
In ritlsburg to overthrow the Iniqui
tous FUnn machine.
The board of trade and the chamber
of commerce of Pittsburg have been
working for years to bring about re
forms In the management of municipal
affairs In that city, and they are now
depending upon the regular Republi
cans at Harrisburg to help them pass
what is known as the "ripper" or new
charter bill. This measure, after a
most desperate fight, was passed dual
ly In the state senate last week. Flinn
led his forces In person, and up to tho
very last minute hoped to bo able to
block the bill on third reading. He
and his insurgent and Democratic fol
lowers resorted to the most desperate
filibustering tactics, and with the as
sistance of the (iiiffey Democratic or
ganization the Flinn combiners be
lieved they would be able to keep the
bill from getting a constitutional ma
jority in the senate and thus dispose of
the issue without having to run the
gauntlet of the house.
FLINN SHOWS WHITE FEATHER.
Flinn, In u speech made against the
bill, showed the white feather. He re
ferred to the recent contest on the Uni
ted Slates senatorshlp, in which he and
his Insurgent followers went outside
the lines of the Republican party, and
with the co-operation of the Democrats
sought to defeat the nominee of the
Republican caucus, the choice of a
large majority of the Republicans of
Pennsylvania, for senator, just as he
did two years before, when, by a fu
sion deal with the Hryanite Democra
cy, be prevented the election of a Re
publican to the sennte.
Now that the business men and man
ufacturers and In fact the entire re
form element of his home county are
tip in arms against him nnd demanding
that he and his henchmen shall be
driven from their positions of power,
Flinn Is pleading with the regular Re
publicans of the state to come to his
rescue and block the plans of the tax
payers of Allegheny, who have been
obliged to bear the burdens which the
Flinn ring have put upon them In their
extravagant and profligate administra
tion of public affairs in Pittsburg.
Flinn made several speeches in the
filibustering movements against the
passage of the bill, in one of which he
referrec" to the senatorial contest and
whimperingly declared that when the
vote was taken on that issue he had
supposed that the "book was closed,"
that the fight was ended, and that
there was to be harmony.
Almost everybody In the chamber
smiled when Flinn said this, for they
recalled the domineering and defiant
attitude which Flinn assumed all
through the last session of the legis
lature, when, with tho insurgents and
the Democrats under his whip, he con
trolled enough votes to prevent an
election to the senatorshlp. They also
had vividly brought to mind the
damnable conspiracy by which the
Flir.n Insurgents had Col. Quay arrest
ed In this city under a trumped up
charge, and how they had hoped to see
him convicted, although there was not
a scintilla of evidence that he had
wronged a single Individual or that in
any business transactions which he had
with tho People's bank, the bank or
the state had lost a penny.
Flinn, with his record of the past
fresh in the minds of every stalwart
Republican of Pennsylvania, is now
upon his knees a supplicant for mercy,
beseeching the Republicans of the
state to save him from the wrath of
his neighbors.
BOPS Rl'LE DENOUNCED.
A couple of Democrats and one or
two Insurgents made weak arguments
in opposition to the passage of the
"rlpprr" after Flinn had spoken.
He was confronted, however, by
facts and figures from his fellow citi
zens which showed the need of a radi
cal change In the methods of municipal
management In Pittsburg. A letter
was read from R. I,. Strawhridge, a
well known attorney of Pittsburg, se
verel? arralginlng the Flinn regime
ana demanding relief from the leglsla.
ture.
Among ether things Mr. Straw-
bridge snld:
"If there Is a place this side of hell
that needs reform It Is Pittsburg. If
there Is a modern stable on earth that
needs to be ripped open and dunged out
by some herculean hand It is the Pitts
burg city hall and the appurtenances
thereto. The stable bosses, hostlers,
sponge holders, rubbers, 'con.' men
and lackers must go to the dump on
the flrt load In order to allow the
work cf cleaning to begin.
"It Is the honest truth, there 1a a
horde of harpies, vampires, buzzards
and leeches that swarm around the city
hall and court house, prey upon the
vitals or the city, sap its ife b ood
and go: is themselves out of Its treas
ury and franchises that begears por
trayal. However lurid the picture of
It may be, you may rest assured that
It yet wants coloring, and however
pipe dreamy the story of their graft
may seem, you can be sure that, like
the stories King Solomon of old
heard about the Income of the queen
of fiheba. the half has uot been told.
"Sii'h men as Nero, Caligula and oth
ers who ran things pretty much their
own way In the old Roma were mild
and Bgwnhie potentates In compari
son to th" Pittsburg losses, and fellows
like the rich Croesus and others who
farmed and manipulated the taxes of
that ancient ritv pre simply not on
to their Jobs. The pang of Pittsburg
manipulators comprising the so called
city ring and pay roll crowd are fear
lass, unblushing and relentless, and op
erate in the open light of noonday as
wol as at midnight. Tbey wield a pow
er as fchsolute as that of the czar of all
the Ruislis. They pull tho string
on everything fr m tho ward commit.
Icemen to the mayor's pun. They pull
th? string wherever n dollar is In sight.
'It.t- juy the i':;:it:stj have a pull, but
tho tooth carpemcrs are net two-eleven
htiid' the bunch that run this town,
levy the tax".s, itaue the bonds and
iUb:i;c3 ;.'.-c-Js thereof by duo
proec!;;. of eim- ; nt and resolutions
In count lis .it lrr.Uy assembled, while
the men whose ', ir.iiu and energy have
created the wraith of this city and
made it world fuuiotid, and the hard
working laboring inon, go down In
their pockets, face the rlty treasurer
once more with a worried look, and
pass out saying, "Groat God, when and
where will it end?'
"Every day one who Is accustomed
to observe things can see these polit
ical gentlemen of the gum shoe tread
and sinister expression walking about
the streets in the neighborhood of the
court house and city hall, tome with
their hands out behind them, and oth
ers with little lamps protruding out of
their pockets such as we used to call
dark lanterns."
FOCHT LED THE FIGHT.
After reading this letter Senator
Dcnjamin K. Focht. of I'nlon county,
who led the fight for the bill, made a
vigorous speech.
"As I understand this question," de
clared Senator Focht, earnestly, "It is
not proposed to take away the rights
of any one, but to break through the
lines of power, usurped and held by
one tyrant boss. I feel that I am vot
ing today to emancipate a people who
have long been held under thralldom,
fearing nnd trembling lest they be
ground under the pitiless and merci
less wheels of municipal corruption
and bossism. All liberty costs; from
the death stab of Julius Caesar to the
basket which received the head of
Marie Antoinette and the noose which
strangled Nathan Hale, the world has
seen a price paid for every blessing.
Therefore, if we are to break the fet
ters which bind and smart the people
of Pittsburg we must not stop at the
sentimental pleadings that a mayor
will be put out of oflice when it Is done
for such a high purpose.
"European, economists stand amazed
at the glory of our great republic, but
they say we know nothing about mu
nicipal government. From what we
have heard nnd know to be true in re
gard to the abuses In Pittsburg, these
charges are correct, and it resides with
us to remedy this. Our duty is plain
In a matter so grave; personal bias
should not be permitted to actuate any
one, neither should sentiment nor sen
atorial courtesy. Already shorn of
much power and the sceptre more than
half way descended, it Is time Indeed
for meekness, for whimpering, but as
the banditti of Italy frequently knelt
before shrines of favorite saints nnd
offered up prayers before going out to
rob and to murder, this attitude is well
understood and our acta of mercy will
be when we vote away this municipal
feudalism, this fatherland of an Amer
ican boss."
When the vote was taken IS senators
voted In favor of the bill and 18 against
it.
The bill was then sent to the house
nnd referred to the committee on mu
nicipal corporations, where, with but
two opposing votes, It was reported fa
vorably. INTERESTING TIMES AHEAD.
There Is promise of an interesting
struggle when the hill comes up on
second reading, probably tomorrow or
next day. Flinn and the Gnffey Dem
ocrats are hard at work oanvassirig
against the measure, and all sorts ot
Inducements are being held out to
members to help out the Flinn ring.
Republicans of the slate will look
with suspicion upon all members of
the house elected upon a reform plat
form who will now vote to block re
form In Pittsburg and reward with
continued favor men who have sought
to wreck the Republican party.

(Special Correspondence.)
Harrisburg. Feb. 19. "Every prom
ise of the Republican state convention
and the Republican administration In
regard to ballot reform will lie faith
fully carried out." was the positive dec
laration made today by Attorney Gen
eral John P. Eikin, who Is regarded as
one of the most Influential Republican
state leaders. "The matter of ballot
reform has been given careful consider
ation by the party leaders," he contin
ued, "nnd the regular Republicans enn
be relied upon to advocate nnd pass
such measures as will meet every re
quirement of the situation nnd fulfill
the expectations of the people. Dills
are now in course of preparation which
It is believed will be satiifactoiy to
those who regard a change in the bal
lot Iaw9 as necessary to Insure a secret
ballot, a correct count of every vote
cast and a true and proper return of
the ballots as cast."
Attorney General Eikin Is believed to
speak by the card wnen he predicts
that the demands for ballot reform will
be fully met.
The elections committee of the sen
ate, of which Benjamin K. Focht. of
Union. Is chalrmnn, has had several In
formal discussions of the subject of
ballot reform, and the measures la
course cf development will. It is de
clared, put Into effect every reform
desired.
After the revelntions of the ring
methods ot tho Htnn machine of Pitts
burg. 89 shown In the discussion of the
reform charter bill In the state senate,
people are likely to look with suspicion
upon the so-called reform bills of Sen
ator Flinn. which the Insurgents have
been advertising and plnyiiig up at a
great rate. Flinn, In the role of a re
former, with the real reformers of his
home county branding him as an arro
gant boss, will not be npt to impress
the voters of the state as a desirable
champion of ballot reform.
Members of the elections committee
authorized to speak last week aston
ished ths Democrats by telling them
that a primary election law would be
Introduced, as well as a general ballot
reform law. that the Mils would be
good meas'ires and so enacted as to be
satisfactory to the Democrats If they
really desired honest election laws.
In accordance with this promise.
Representative William S. Van Dyke,
of Westmoreland, at the proper time,
Introduced In the house the Guthrie
primary bill, which is "an act to regu
late the nomination of public officers,
primary elections anil the payment of
certain expenses Incident thereto and
prescribing penalties for the violation
of the provisions thereof or the com
mission of certain prohibited acts.
no is to prepare or who will Intro
duce the general ballot reform bill the
italwart managers will not state.
In regard to primary election laws.
many members of the legislature say
they are not sure tnrt a satisfactory
bill ran be passed, one that would be
acceptable to all the tv.lnt.;
They think the bringing together of
all political parties to hold primaries
at the same place would have a ten
dency to disorganize political lines, and
therefore be conducive of barm in the
end.
There has been considerable discus
sion of the matter of reform In libel
laws, no doubt due to the Introduc
tion in Philadelphia of yellow journal
Ism of the yellowest type, In which the
reputations of citizens stand for noth
ing when the politicians back of the
yellow sheet seek to ruin or destroy
an opponent.' There have been several
bills introduced in the legislature on
this subject, and It Is believed that a
satisfactory bill will be drafted which
will be acceptable to publishers and of
newspapers and those who wish to
meet the Introduction of yellow jour
nalism, with due regard for the inter
ests of the legitimate newspaper pub
lisher.
RADICAL OLEO LEGISLATION.
The senate committee on health and
sanitation has had under consideration
oleomargarine legislation, which re
sulted in the committee deciding to
substitute for the bill already intro
duced a more radical measure.
The new bill was presented by Sena
tor Snyder, who also introduced the
measure which has been discarded.
Senator Snyder's new bill provides that
suit ran be brought against violators
of the law by any person In the name
of the commonwealth. One-half of the
penalty shall go to the prosecutor and
the remainder to the state. Violation
of the law is made a misdemeanor pun-
lsable by a fine of from $100 to $.100
and not more than .10 days' Imprison
ment for tho first offense, and not less
than $30!) nor more than $."00 fine and
Imprisonment not exceeding two years
for the second offense.
Temporary Injunctions shall be Is
sued against dealers in oleomargarine
where cases brought against them have
been appealed by the defendant, and If
It be found that he Is still violating the
law the Injunction shall become per
mnnent upon successful determination
of the case In court. The dairy and
food commissioner nnd his nt;er.ts are
empowered to enter places of business
and take samples of olenmnr.n inc. Li
cense fees are provided for In the same
manner as they are provided for in the
existing law. The bill nlso prohibits
the sale of oleomargarine from wagons
and from house to house: requires
dealers to display signs, nnd provides
that all olenniarcarine sold shall be
properly marked. .
TO PROTECT THE FORESTS.
The house has pnr.scd a bill abolish
ing the present bmeau of forestry and
creating in Its stead a department of
forestry. The bureau was a branch of
the department of agriculture, and as
such did excellent work, but the Im
portance of forest preservation lusti
ties the severance of the two, and the
erection of the bureau Into n separate
department.
The Increased expense should prove
a good Investment. The pmniissioner
of forestry will receive :',,iniu a year,
and he will be required to devote his
whole time to the work. This otnvial,
with foer other citizens who me to
serve without pay. will e.in.stltute the
state forestry reservation commissi. n.
The bill authorizes the commission to
buy lands for forestry purposes at a
price not exceeding $." an acie, to m-ko
contracts for the sale ol iniiici ;tU ;. tI ,
removal of brush from the forest reser
vations. Vhen the state forest reser
vations are profitable they shall pay
one-half of the profit to tho treasurer
of tlie township In which It Is located.
Otherwise these lands are untaxed.
When public roads run through the
reservation the state will pay -$;3 a
mile for the maintenance, repair or ex
tension of such roads. In townships
having large forestry reservations this
will result In a reduction of the cost
of maintaining pnhlk' roads to those
owning the Inuds In the township out
side the reservation.
Representative Hiram tl. Hutt. of the
Fifteenth district of Philadelphia, has
Introduced a bill In the house which Is
Intended to protect the families of
drunkards, as well as the drunkards
themselves. The bill makes it a mis
demeanor for any pawnbroker to loan
money on any goods, article or thing
of value to any person in an Intoxi
cated condition, or showing evidence
thereof at the time of offering rhe
goods. The bill further provides that
it shall be unlawful for any pawnbrok
er to advance money on any goods
after having received notice in writ
ing from any adult member of his or
her family that such money may be
used for the purchase of Intoxicating
liquor. Mr. Hutt says that many cases
have come under his observation In
which parents have taken household
goods or Implements used In the trade
of worklngmen, nnd while In a condi
tion of Intoxication pledced them to
procure money wilh which to buy mire
liquor. He thinks the state sb-n'.'
In nnd stop this evil wh rever pissll.'e.
The bill Imposes heivv ""-i-? c 1 s
and Imprisonment for violations of Its
provisions.
