SENTINEL & REPUBLICAN MIFFLLSTOWN. Wednesday, Dec. 12, IMS. B. F. SCHWEIER, Korroa abb raorairroB. Trade Dollar. The better class of public men of the respective States are in accord with the mind of the people, on the question of the redlining of the trade dollar. No one is against their redemption excepting perhaps a Email number of business men, and a lot of silver miners, but what is the view of a few business men whose opinion is gaged by money, and what is the opinion of a few silver miners whose opinion is also gaged by money, worth, when compared to the worth of the confidence of the rank and file of the people of a Nation. The poo- rile now stand amazed at the -act of Congress that produced such a state of confusion, and opportunity for nu scrupulous business men and specu lators to manipulate the silver coin that was stamped with government stamp. Shall that amazement be turned into disgust, and destruction of confidence in the business ability and business integrity of Congress 1 The good faith of the Congress of tho Republic is at stake in this dollar question, 15at 6;ivb one, if the trade dollar is redeemed, speculators will make 10 and 15 cents on what they hold. Well, what if they do ? What i is it that the speculators will keep hands off if they can skin a penny out of it! That is where the bad management of Congress comes in. It should never have permitted such a state of affairs, and now that their is a complaint of the evil, it is the com mon sense thing for Congress to cor rect the evil as speedily as it can. liecause the spectators will make some money, is that an honest reason to k--ep Congress from doing justice ti itself, and the people, by giving a uuircrm silver currency to the couii- trv t In it a trood reason ? to unre against the redemption of the stan dard dollar.that speculators have tak en advantage of the stupid, if not dishonest act of Congress, when it permitted the stamping of two silver dollars with the stamp of the United States, and called the one a standard dollar, and left the other unprotect ed to float at largo upon its own sil ver merits. Thj '24 hour clocks have not been giving satisfaction where they are used on the railroads. The assembled wisdom of the Re public, that is the Congressmen at Washington numbers 325 members. Theuk was an eff jrt made to try James Nutt, at Uuiontown, Fayette county, last week, but a jury was not ohtaiueJ, and by a change of venue the case will be taken to Pittsburg for trial in January. M The Democrat are scratching their heal over the question of froe trade ; give them rope. They have the rope in the Lower IIoa;:e of Con gress, and if they don't use it on tLerjFelves the country will be sur prised. After having parsed the appropri ation bill over the Governor's veto message, the Representatives and Senators went to the State Treaeury and drew their pay and by this time are at home. A number of Senators and Representatives returned the money that they received to the State Treasury, a number returned such portion of the pay as cohered recess days, into tho Treasury. . m The assembled wisdom of the coun try, at Washington, is scratching its head over the question of the coinage of silver money. How nicely tLey could solve the question and contin ue the coinage by passing an act of Congress to call in ail of the green back currency, which is over $200, OOQ.OIKI, and replace it with silver coin. That would be a silver coin basis for the Nalion such as no Na tiot ever before rested on. Coin the silver and redeem the greenbacks. Message. President Arthur's message to Con gress is a long, welL written, conser vative document. Tho President congratulates Con gress and the country generally for the peaceful slate of relations, at home and abroad. Attention during the past year has been given to pauper immigration, and a number of pauper immigrants have been sent back. France has removed the restriction against receiving the American hog. It is believed that other nations will do as France has done. The restrictions on Cuba and Port Rico trade is in a fair way for adjust ment by Spain. The nations are talking favorably of forming an international treaty by which all disputes between nations may be settled. A closer relationship with Mexico is needed because of the business in terests that have sprung np between the people of the two countries. To extend our intercourse in the fax east legations have been estab lished in Persia, Siam, and Corea. And to a limited degree haB been extended to Siberia in Africa. Vexatious restrictions have been put upon our trade by duties or tar iff in Brazil. The same may be said of the trade in Turkey. The receipts of government for the year ending June 3, 1883, were $308,- 287,581.35. The expenditures were 265.408,- 137.54, leaving a surplus revenue of $132,879,444.41. "Hitherto the surplus, as rapidly as it has accumulated, bis been de voted to the reduction of the nation al debt. As a result the only bonds now outstanding which are redeema ble at the pleasure of the govern ment are the 3 per cents, amounting to 305.000.000. The 4J per cent., amounting to $250,000,0i3, and the $737,000,000 of 4 per cents, are not payable until 1801, and 11)00, respec tively. If the surplus shall hereafter be as large as the treasury estimates now indicate, the 3 per cent, bonds may all be redeemed at least four years before any of the 4 J per cents, can be called in. The latter, at the same rate of accumulation of surplus, can be paid at maturity and the mon eys requisite for the redemption of the 4 per cents, will be in the treas ury many years before those obliga tions become payable." It is only by excessive taxation that the debt is so rapidly reduced. It is recommended that all excise taxes be removed, except those on distilled spirits, and that substantial reduc tions be made in the revenue from cus toms. Of the $350,000,000 to support the national bank circulation $200, 000,000 are in 3 per cent bonds and these bonds are payable at the pleas ure of government If the surplus revenue be kept up it will be but a few years till the 3 per cent bonds will be called in and the-calling in of 200,000,000 of bank notes would create a tight money market This subject is recommended as acquiring thoughtful consideration. It is recommended that the trade dollar be redeemed The revenue districts of the coun- trv have been reduced in number to 83. There has only been one disturb ance among the Indians the past year. Oar seacoasis are in an unsatisfac tory condition so far as protection against a foreign foe goes. The Militia of the respective States are in a gratifying state of efficiency, and national encouragement is sug gested. The reconstruction of the navy is recommeudfd to the attention of Congress. The reports of the working of the Post Office Department is gratifying. The establishment of a Postal Tel egraphy is discouraged, government should, however, be clothed with some sort of a supervision over tele graph lines. It is suggested that the laws for the payment of Federal Court foes be revived. The attention of Congress is di rected to needed changes in the pre emption laws, and the timber culture act also to the state of illiteracy in certain parts of the country, and the question is raised as to whether some aid is not needed from government in the primary schools, of the respec tive States. The Mormon problem should be attached with the "stoutest weapons wiiich constitutional legislation can fashion." The Department of Agriculture is reported as working m a satisfactory maunt r. It is earnestly recommended that Alaska be put under the protection of law. Congress should exercise its con slitutional power to protect the States, when tho btates are power less against oppressive dealings on the part of railroad corporations. It is suggested that a law be en acted for the establishment of a " for est preserve on the public lands. Under an act of Congress foreign governments have been invited to participate in the centennial exposi tion to be - held next yoar at New Orleans, in commemoration of the centuary of the first shipment of cot ton fnra a port of the United States. Tho civil service reform movement has proven beneficial. The report of the ctvn sen-ice reform commission will afford the means of a more de finite judgmeut. It is hoped that CoDgress will act promptly in passing a resolution to the question of the Presidential suc cession in times of great emergency which have several times arisen. Congress is asked to propose a mendments to the constitution so that the President may have the pow er to veto certain clauses in appro priation bills without vetoing the whole bill. In consideration of the fact that the Supreme Court declared the Civ il Rights Bill unconstitutional it is suggested that Congress take some constitutional steps to guarantee the rights that the Civil Rights Act was thought to cover. Bead! Read! The Legislature passed a bill to pay its members for their extra do nothing session. They voted a half million dollars into their pockets. Gov. Pattison vetoed their bill for pay, but they passed the bill over his veto. The Governor does himself justice by the veto. The only refiec tion that can be cast upon him is that he called the Legislature in extra session. Of course the Governor could not foresee that the Legisla ture would take advantage of the sit uation to plunder the Treasury by sitting day after day and doing noth ing. The Governor's veto was over ruled by a vote of 171 to 16. The following is the message of the Gov ernor: To the House of Representative of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania: Gintlemkx: In accordance with the authority given to the Governor to disapprove of any items of an ap propriation bill, I disapprove of the items in the herewith returned bill, except those items in section 3 pro viding for the pay of certain employ ees of the Senate and those items in section 4 for the pay of certain em ployees of the House, and section 7, for the expense of serving a writ "of election to fill a vacancy in the House of Representatives. To all the other items of the bill I decline to give my approval. DEMMiDiso'pir fob I'KrnsG the law. The members of the General As sembly were convened in special ses sion for the sole purpose of appor tioning the State as .commanded by the Constitution. The command was upon them to pass such laws at the regular session, but they adjourn ed a few days after their right to pay ceased with their sworn constitution al duty unperformed. They were immediately recalled into session to obey the organic law, to keep their oaths and to accord to the people the most important political rights. They again deliberately refuse to per form their constitutional daty and are about to adjourn. After wasting six months m contemning tha Con stitution they now send me this bill appropriating over half a million dol lars to pay themselves for refusing to do what they were elected and sworn to do. Every consideration of law and the simplest principles of common justice protest against such an attempt to take the money of the people without consideration. There is no law authorizing public . officers to pay themselves for defving the law. Such an inconsistency could not exist in the jurisprudence of any enlightened government. No citizen in his private business capacity would sanction such a principle as that un derlying this bill The fact that one has been elected by the peoplo to an office does not of itself entitle him to pay. He must first perform the duties of his office. As well might a Judge claim his salary who refuses to hold court or try the causes be fore him. The members of this Le gislature have refused to do their du ty in compliance with the command of the Constitution, the vow of their official oath and the purpose of their election. When this session was convened, instead of proceeding at once to per form their duty the members of the Legislature, foi their personal con venience, immediately took a recess for eleven days. By this bill every legislator is given of the people's money 10 a day for each day of that recess. To sanction this would be to admit that they might have taken a recess for the year and a half remain ing of their terms and have paid themselves many thousands of dol lars each while remaining at their homes and attending to their private concerns. For over one-half the time since the Legislature was con vened the Senate has not been in ses sion at all, having by ormal resolu tion deliberately resolved not to sit or make an effort to obey the law. Ou many of the days when it did hold sessions but a few minutes were oc cupied and no single official act was done looking to a performance of duty. The record of the House of Representatives upon this subject while not so culpable, is yet highly reprehensible, it not having held ses sions for many days. Yet for the whole one hundred and eighty-two day, from June 7 to December 5, whether days of session, no session or sham session. Lord's days and hol idays, for all alike, $10 a day for the entire time is given by this bill to ever- Senator and member. Monstrous as such a claim would be under any circumstances it is yet the more repugnant to law, equity and common sens when arrested by officials, who menace the very exis tence of republican government by refusing to obc-y the plainest und most imperativo of constitutional commnnJs and give to the people the most sacred and valuable of political rights. This bill exacts to the last penny all the compensation that the most faithful, industrious, patriotic and law abiding Legislatures could get for the performance of every du ty imposed npou them and the reali zation of every public benefit that could be'expected from them. Under this bill the mileage is claim ed by members and officers for going from their homes to the seat of gov ernment and returning' who were present in Harrisburg when the extra session was called, having been paid by the Stnte to lie there, and who have also been already paid for re turning to their homes. So, too. $10 a day is claimed by this bill for ses sions upon days when, to nse the language of the law, there were no sessions held "at" which members could be. AS UNLAWFUL RAID OK THE TREASURY. It would be useless for me to go over this bill and discuss its provi sions in detail. It is a most inde fensible attempt to take money out of the public Treasury without war rant of law, shadow of justice or pos sibility of right by a body of officials which, as the Executive of the Com monwealtb, I am obliged to say re sists, defies and assaults the consti tutional government of the people. There often come times in the history of popular governments when the on ly hope of their preservation rests, not in the functional power given to officials, but in that last and mighti est resources, the intelligent and re solute action of a free people at .''tie ballot-box. This hope .alone is left to the lovers of free government in Pennsylvania for the enforcement of the laws and the preservation of the Constitution. I have exhausted all my power to that end without avail and confess the futility of my efforts. Not only may I be unable to secure obedience to the Constitution and see that the laws bo jaithfully executed, but I may also be powerless to pre vent tho gross injustice attempted against the people in this bill. So far as I am able, however, I shall thwart the wrong by this disapproval ALLOWING PAT FOB TUB EMPLOYEES. It is only right for me to Bay that there are, I know, many members of the Assembly who have faithfully striven to perform their duty, and who by such efforts have equitably earned their pay. They are in no wise chargeable with the default of this session. I regret that they should suffer by this veto. It is their misfortune to be members of a body whose acts I must view as a whole. They will have the 'consciousness, however, of having honestly tried to serve their State and the people. The people, i is certain, will not fail in the end to recognize and reward upright servants and separate them from the faithless an avaricious. I have no power to distinguish the worthy from the unworthy, the de serving from the reprehensible. The fault of the gross, not the merit of individuals, u all of which I can take notice'. Seeing no legal reasons, however, for depriving of - their pay the employees of the two houses, whose attendance was compulsory and who are in no way blamable for the failure of this session, I have ap proved the items for their compensa tion. I wish 1 be understood, how ever, in allowing these items, to ap prove of tbs compensation of these employees only for the days when they were necessarily employed a bout the duties of their offices. They may have had official service to per form upon days on which the Legis lature was not in session. If so, they should be paid. Bat for those days on wnich they were absent from at tendance upon duties pertaining to the Legislature and unemployed I do not giva my sanction to their draw ing any compensation. I regard the word "fixed by law" in the clause of the bill making the appropriation for them as recognizing this limitation, which, in my judgment, is a proper interpretation of the act of 1874. Robebt E. Pattison. Grave Yard Insurance. - A despatch from Reading under date of the Gth inst. says. Life insurance circles in this and the Lebanon Val ley district are very much agitated over a war that is being made upon a number of speculators who hold assigned policies. .Not long ago the heirs of a woman secured a six-thou-saud-dollar award agaiust the men who had insured her and who held policies assigned to them. To-day a number of suits were tried before arbitrators and. decisions rendered in favor of the heirs of the deceased people upon whom the policies were held. If these decisions hold good at court a lively time maybe expect ed as it is said about fifteen hundred such speculative policy-holders are in the Lebanon Valley, involving thousands of dollars. One case decided was that of Jo seph Hettinger against Samuel B. Leinbertger and Epbriam Borgner. Hettinger took out a policy for $3, 000 on his wife in the Union Benev olent Mutual Aid Society and after wards assigned it to Leinbertger and Borgner, who were neither relatives nor creditors of his wife. After the death of the wife the Aid Society paid the amount of the insurance to Borgner and Leinbertger, taking from them a bond of indemnity. The husband afterward, brought 6uit against them as receivers of tue money for him, and the arbitrators found in favor of Hettinger against the defendants for $3,783.43. Items. A man in Wisconsin slept for twenty-eight days. Pittsburg had forty fires during the month of November. The loss was $117,000. Ex-Governor Cobnra is the richest man in Maine. He is eighty-five, and never married. Two hundred and fifty-nine dwell ing houses have been built in Read iug this year. The Cambria Iron Company will establish a creamery on its farm near Henrietta, Blair couty. Isaac Davis, a farmer, living near Youngstown, Ohio killed his brother James in a dispute over the division of a crop of corn. William Godshall,an alleged chick en tiiief was shot and killed while prowling around a hedroost in R.wk hill towuship, Bucks county, a few nigiits ago. Count von Moltk's mind is failing. His memory is a blank, and he fails to recognise even intimate friends. He is living ou his estate at Kreisau in strict privacy, having ceased all official work. W. H. Kerstetter, of Bfadfoid, committed suicide by shooting. A few weeks ago he accidentally blew out the eyes of a man named Brigaui. Remorse is supposed to have driven him to suicide. There is it seems, to be an um brella that cannot be stolen. A ge nius has invented a detachable han dle, upon withdrawing which the ribs are automatically locked. Re placing it unlocks them. No two handles fit the same umbrella. New York Sun. As Peter Demmy, aged seventy years was on his way home from Mount Joy he was attacked by Jacob Buch and Joseph Braman, aged re spectively twelve and eleven years. Buch felled the old man, who was drunk, by a blow on the forehead with a club. The boys then robbed Demmy of all tho money he had, cine dollars. They are in jail- They wore "playing hookey when they commited the crime.

Jonathan Hastings, who lived in it from 17J7 to liiz, is said to have originated tho word "Yankee." usin 1 n it to express excellence, speaking of a "lantee good norse or "lankee rroo 1 cider." and the students are supposed to have disseminated the word. On the morning of the 22nd of November, Jacob D. Crouch, aged 74, a widower ; Henry White, aged 38, son-in-law of Mr. Crouch; Mrs. Eu nice White, aged 33, daughter of Mr. Crouch, all of Summit and Moses Polley. aged 26, of Transfer, Pa., were found murdered in their beds, at the house of the former, about 7 miles from West Jackson, Mich. It was believed that Mr. Crouch had just received a large sum of money from Texas. They were all killed in bed by pistol shots. A Potts ville woman, in great alarm, told her physician that one or two of her false teeth bad lodged in the lower part of her throat The physi cian tried to dislodge them without a surgical operation, but in vain. He then baid that an operation must be performed. So nervous and fear ful was she that she would not per mit this. After fasting and suffer ing for two dys she found the teeth in a drawer where she had put tbem. Then the pain gradually went away. There had been no obstruc tion in her threat Just fifty years ago to day the first Chicago newspaper was issued. One hundred and forty-seven copies were worked off, the editor being also printer and publisher, all combined. Mr. John Calhoun was then the em bodiment of the art of printing in all its ramifications, so far as this town was concerned. To day there vrs more thau 2000 compositors iu the city whose entire time is devoted to composition.
