Tula art was passed in Mil, but no appropriation was made to carry it into effect. Now a townobip tbal col lects, for example, 4(H) cash road tax, will receive l-'OO from the State. This is certainly a good law, and one that should be specially appreciated by the farmers, who will be the principal beneficiaries. Thk Oil City Blixiard calls the work ingnien's compensation bill a "pincher" or "leg puller." It is both of those things as well as a piece of buncombe to catch the fancy of ihoHe who have neither the analytical ability, the patience nor the opportunity to figure out its vicious fea ture. The sentiment for it is largely manufactured and artificial, but, bhoulci it become a law In Ita present form the sentiment against it will soon become genuine and unmixed. Funxy Spirit, And that is to joke. Wk'll all be electrocuted instead of bung now should we deserve "shuffling oil"" before we're ready, according to the new order of things, Governor Tener having signed tbe bill making that the legal method of inflicting tbedeatb penalty in Pennsylvania upon persons convicted of first degree murder. The new law provides that the executions shall take place in the new Western penitentiary, now heing erected la Centre county, and carries an appropriation of $50,000 for tbe purpose of immediately erecting a suita ble building and equipping It, Hoping Against Hope. Business men, bankers, industrial managements the country over are hope ful that the near-free trade legislation be ing steam rollered through Congress may not be as baneful In its effect as is pre dicted by some and feared by many. There seems, however, to be no possible way of escaping the fact that business, labor, capital and industry are alike alarmed at tbe certain overturning of conditions. Neither labor nor capital is willing to be convinced that tbe proposed tree trade legislation has been thought fully and carefully prepared. It is not the work of those scientifically tilted for it. It la rewarded as being political ratber than economical and ita tendency baa been to frighten and alarm ratber than to promote confidence and etiuuiirage ex pansion. In Pennsylvania especially It is gener ally accepted that the coal and coke trade is tbe best business barometer. If that be accepted tbe following from the Con nellsville Courier, the organ of tbe coke trade of this country, deserves serious thought : "A great many Connellsville coke re gion people who were afllicted with the fever of political unrest are convalescent and repentant. Tbe effects of impending Democratic policies are already appirent and tbe prospect Is not at all cheerful. While tbe steel business still keeps up and coke is in good demaud at greatly re duced prices, it is only loo apparent that the business of tbe second balf of 1N13 promises poorly. It is with anything bat satisfaction that we point out the lact that tbe predictions of the Courier are be ing verified. Fair prosperity is undergo ing a severe trial, She ia being probed without reason and stripped without shame by the Democratic doctors and dressmakers." Stewart Run and Vicinity.

VOTE BUYING REGULAR THING So Declares Witness at Hearing of Impeachment Case. Liquor interests of Fayette county, Pa., were held up for a $.10,000 "boo7.e fund" by a "solt shoe" committee to buy votes to insure the re-election ot Judge Robert K. I'mbel, according to testimony given by Samuel E. Frock, a member of this "secret committee" and a director In the Labor Brewing company and one of the donors to the fund, before the Judicial investigating committee hearing In Uniontown, Pa., of the Impeachment charges against the jurist, which mentioned Judge J Q. Van Swearingen. Headquarters of this committee, he testified, were iu the Hagan building, Uniontown. Only two keys were in existence for its doors, and these were the property of Sterling and himself, according to Frock. A system of raps, known only to the members of the committee and to Judge Umbel, Frock testified, was t lie "open sesame" to Its interior. This secrecy waa necessi tated, he said, to "keep the riff-raft out."

Fif teen thousand dollars was the amount drained from the dealers, according to Frock. BELIEVES NATION IN DANGER Senator Works Would - Wipe Out Liquor Business.
