taken the initiative in regard to a new
mode, or change of method, of making

early response. We most emphatically
don't want any more 15 puxslea nor bri
bery scandals in oonnection with congress
ional nominations in this distriot, Let us
have the popular vote system."

THE American consul at Gibraltar re
ports that 30,000 Italian emigrants have
passed that port en route for United States
within the past throe months, and the
whole districts in Italy are being depopu
lated by American emigration He further
more states that they are the scum of Italy
ignorant, visoious, superstitious and
dangerous. If the United States can pre
vent the immigration of Chinese they ought
to be able to prevent the immigration of
these Italians. The Chinese are far more
lawabiding, with not half the penchant
for crime posessed by this Italian riff-raff-

An Eloquent Tribute
Preeident Harrison and his Presidential
party, having completed the journey across
the continent, both ways, brought np on
Thursday at Springfield, 111., where the
President under the shadows of the Lincoln
monument, paid the following eloquent
and appropriate tribute to the martyr Pres
ident:—"The interest of our long jonrney
culminates as we stand here for a
few moments about the tomb of Lincoln.
As I passed through the industrious South
ern Btates I could not but think and say
that it was the hand that now rests beneaUi
these stones that kindled and inspired all
these fires of industry that were lighted at
the funeral pyre of slavery. I come to
day to this consecrated spot with a heart
filled with emotion and gratitude that God
did not fail to find for us, in the hour of
extremity, one who was competent to
lead the hearts and sympathies, and hold
np the courage oi our people in the time
of our greatest national peril. Washington
stands remote from us, as dignified and re
served, bat we think of Lincoln as one
whoee tender touch the people of all class
es felt, so that their lore was drawn to
him because he had such a great, such a
human heart Ton have here in keeeping
• most precious trust. Toward this spot
the feet reverent patriots of years to come
will tun. I have studied the story of
Lincoln's liie, and am filled with words of
admiration. His life was an American
prodnct; no other soil eould have produced
It Aa the inner history of the dangerous
times in which he lived is written, we find
how his great mind turned the affairs of
our oountry with that marvelous tact
which characterised this man of the people.
We will again read the story of Lincoln's
life and find our hearts and minds enlarged
our lives and charities broadened, and our
devotion to the Constitutian, the Flag,
and the Free Goverment which he preserv
ed to us, is intensified.
AIOTHM outrage is reported from the
Claiborne district of Louisana. It is said
that some white men caught a negro, late
ly released from the penitentiary and burn
ed him.
PBUIDSBT HARRISON spoke in Philadel
phia last Saturday, and voiced a sentiment
similar to that expressed by Prof. Robr
baoker in the Opera House here: "I have
never been able to think that this day is
one for mourning, bnt that instead of the
flag being at half-mast, it should be at the
peak."
ACCORDING to the statement of State

End of the Legislature.
The Pennsylvania Legislature of 1891,
adjourned last Thursday noon, and those
who think themselves competent are now
judging of it and its works.
It contained some excellent men, and
sorely improved its general reputation
during the last week of its existence.
Its last sitting was a remarkable one.
It began at 10 o'clock of Wednesday morn
ing, and by 8 o'clock that evening the
Senate had cleared its calendar, but was
compelled to keep in session, to act on
business as it came from the House, and
daring the night took recesses of an hour
at a time. At dawn, half the members
were asleep in their chairs, and the em
ployees and correspondents were wander
ing around "like lost souls"—as one reporter
put it
In the House, however, they had it live
ly, all night.
At midnight, there were yet eighty bills
on the calendar to be disposed of, and all
night long the monotonous calling of the
roll continued. Reading Clerk Rex had
memorised the list of and would
stand motionless, and call the roll, hour
after hour, with his eyes shut. Speaker
Thompson's voice gave out and Messrs
Brooks, Shinner and Baker took turns at
presiding. Members went asleep in their
seats and the jokers exploded fire-crackers
under them, and one member brought in
two big owls and let them loose in the
room. The Speaker had ordered all the
files and calendars removed from the desks,
so the members had nothing to throw at
each other. Lunch was nerved in one of
the committee rooms.
2 All the apportionment bills were passed
with the exception of the Senatorial, upon
which the House and Senate Conference
Committee could not agree.
Daring the early morning the bill in
creasing the number of Factory Inspectors
was defeated, which made the labor men
mad, and they defeated the Judges retire
ment bill, a corporation bill, and a
delinquent t" bill. Then a deal was
made, whereby the Factory bill and Judges
bill, (in which the Philadelphians were
particularly interested) were called up
again and the Factory bill passed but the
Judges bill failed, which caused some more
hard feeling, and the Factory bill was kill
ed in the Senate. The other two bills
mentioned were also reconsidered and
passed.
The Worlds Fair bill, one regarding
Assessors, and several otter bills were
passed Thursday morning, and the only
other scene of confusion was caused by
somebody questioning the count on roll
call,and at 10 a. m. the House took a recess
for one hour.
In the Senate at 9a. m. the debate on
the unexpected appointments made by
GOT. Pattison began. The Gov. withheld
the Commissions of Supd't Waller and In
spector Martin, who had been appointed by
Gov. Beaver and confirmed by the Senate,
and on Wednesday nominated Prof. Snyder
of Indiana, to be Snpd't of Public In
struction, and Robt Watchorn to be Chief
Factory Inspector. The debate took place
in the presence of a large audience, and
the principal disputants were Senators
Ross, Gobin, Packer, and Robinson, and
the Senate refused to confirm the appoint
ments by a strict party vote 31 to 16.
Immediately after this the Ballot Reform
bill, which had been defeated in the Senate
a few days before, was reconsidered and
passed by a vote of 31 to 14, some of the
Republican Senators including Senator
Showalter voting against it
Then the Senate sefused to consider the
amendment to the Factory bill and then
politioal and public matters were dropped,
and Senator Gobin was elected President
Pro. Tem., some presents were given
to the presiding officers and clerks, and the
Senate adjourned.
At 11 o'clock the House reassembled,
Speaker Thompson was eulogized, and
made a handsome present, the Clerks were
not forgotten and the House adjourned
without delay.
All the bills that passed both branches
were in the Governor's hands by noon that
day as the constitution requires and their
total number was stated to be 414,—ap
proved to that date 122, recalled 12, vetoed
17, and in the Gov's hands 263. Resolutions
37.
The Ballot Reform bill which was one of
the last to pass the Senate, and be sent to
the Governor, will, if he signs it or permits
it to be come a law, work a revolution in
our elections, as it requires an official
ballot to be printed by the County, and
containing the names of all the candidates,
also a room in each election district, to be
specialy prepared for the holding of the
election, with railing and booths,—no elector
to be interfered with while marking bis
ballot, etc. etc. It may be needed in the
large towns, but for the country districts
looks like a useless expense.
Thirty acts and amendments of acts were
passed by the House from midnight to 10
a. m. of Thursday, some of which are of
general interest.
The leading measures that passed both
Houses during the five months they were
in session, were the Boyer amendment to
the general revenue law, the Constitutional
convention bill, the Ballot reform bill, and
the bill increasing the appropriations to
the schools.
The Boyer bill increases the tax on the
stock of corporations to 5 mills, and on
money at interest, etc. to 4 mills, and as
this will increase the revenues of the state
several millions, the Legislature thought
they could afford to increase the appro
priation to the schools to $5,000,000 which
will pay about half the school's expenses
of the state, and thus reduce local taxation.
The total appropriations for the two
years will foot up nearly twenty three
millions, if the Governor signs all the ap
propriation bills.
One of the best bills passed near the end
of the session was the one increasing the
license fees, wholesale and retail; but we
cannot see why the Legislature did not
make the fees the same throughout the
state, —city and oountry alike. The bill
was called the Henninger bill, and it was
reported favorably by the Senate Com
mittee and rushed through both houses,
during the first part of last week. It is an
amendment to the Brooks Low License
law.
Of the bills, that were discussed but
which failed to become laws the most con
spicuous was the Taggart Tax bill, said to
have been written by the Commissioners'
Clerk of Erie Co. Its object was 4 to tax
corporate property for local purposes, which
was right,bat the bill was such a ponderous
and complicated affair, that, like the
bill, it fell of its own weight.
The Road bill was defective, and was
vetoed by the Governor, and the anti-dis
erimination bill was defeated outright,
though the Constitution requires such a
bill to be passed.
It seems absurd to hold another con
stitutional convention, and make another
constitution, with parts of the present one
never carried into effect.
The comments of the leading journals of
the State on the Legislature vary with the
localities in which they are printed and
their political bias.
The Pittsburg Times winds up an article
with the statement that "The Legislature
was not a great one, and no members have
won special distinction, bot it has done
nothing to call for condemnation."
The Gazette thinks "The want of com
petent leadership was very strongly
evidenced by tbe way in which the work of
the session was carried, bat altogether the
result is more satisfactory than might have
been thought probable.
The Philadelphia Press, (Republican)
said "The Legislature just adjourned wm
not a wicked body, but it was disgracefully
weak. It did nothing so very bad; it failed
to do a number of things which it should
have done, and some of the things it did
were done poorly" and it also refers to the
"vicious method of trading vote?,' by
which unprincipled members get the aid of
other members for wrong purposes.
The Philadelphia Record, (Democratic)
thinks that "Kvery patriotic citizen of
Pennsylvania will have a sigh of relief over
the final adjournment of the Legislature'
and that thanks should be given that no
more harm was done, that a few righteous
measures were enacted, and that the de
parting law-makers didn't steal the State
Capitol."
A sentiment that is more amusing than
serious.
The Philadelphia Times, which we have
always supposed to be the organ of the
Pennsylvania R. R. Co. surprises us by
criticising the Legislature for its failure to
pass the anti-discrimination bill, and says
it —"failed properly to meet the public
demands and will pass into history as an
aggregation of small politicians that sat
out their brief term, voted away the public
money, drew their salaries and perquisites
and vanished out of sight unrcgretted by
the people that called them into service."
Xone of the editorials we have read refer
to the action of the State Senate, in
shelving the resolution advocating the
election of United States Senators by fhe
popular vote —an action which, we think,
showed 11.c complete subscrviancy of that
body to the C;nn"r:>!i—Quay influence.
On Motility Gi v. Pattison signed the
following bills:
Permitting justices of peace to use a seal

interest are as follows:

During the controversy over Dr. Briggs'
case, before the Presbyterian General As
sembly at Detroit last Thursday, Judge
Breckenridge, of St. Louis, fell to the plat
form and instantly expired, just after fin
ishing a speeoh on the legal phases of tho

On Friday the Briggs case was discussed

ter from one of the suspended ministers
and was censured for so doing.
