THITGOVERNOR'S MESSAGE.
The contest over the Senatorship excit
ed so much popular in'-' ~ * when the
Legislature met that little consideration
was given to the Governor's message.
Nevertheless . uocui able and
interesting, and its recouiiiicui.uUons de
serve the seri cor .e ration of the
Legislature, for they are evidently the
fruit of careful thonght and are enforc
ed by sound reasons.
It is gratifying to learn that the net
indebtedness • '■ the Sta. on the first of
last month was hut a trifle over $1,650,-
000, and at the same time there was a
balance of nearly three million dollars
in the general fund to lutct expenses.
But this balance is not large enough, for
nearly six milli n appropriated
by the last Legislature and still unpaid,
and the Mim will be increased next June
by five and a half millions appropriated
for t'ue public schools for the year then
beginning. The fiscal olficers of the
State believe, however, that the current
revenues will meet these demands. They
estimate that the revenues for the n?xt
two years will amount to nearly $20,000,-
000. As the Governor says, it is evident
the appropriations to be made this year
will have to be reduced below those
made by the last Legislature, unless
some means can be devised for increas
ing the revenue, lie suggests no such
means, however, and it is fair to assume
that he thinks appropr'ations may and
should be reduced.
The section of the m essage relating to
the public schools will excite general in
terest. The Governor thinks there is
grounds for the general complaint that
the distribution of the State appropria
tion is not fair and equitable. The dis
tribution is now based on the number of
resident taxables in each district; bnt
thic system practically discriminates
against the poorer districts, which may
have a number of scattered schools to
keep up although the population may be
small. The governor recommends that
oni-third of the appropriation be distrib
uted according to the number of taxables
in the district, one third in proportion to
the number of children of school age and
and one-third in proportion to the num
ber of schools in the district. This
would no doubt be a fairer method of
distribution than the present one, and
the recommendation merits the serious
consideration of the Legislature.
The Governor calls attention to the
over crowded condition of the state peni
tentiaries, and seems to favor such a
modification of existing lows as to re
quire the counties to keep in their re
spective jails criminals convicted of mi
nor offenses. This charge would involve
a general re organization of our local
prisons under some common authority
and on improved lin<-s of conduct. At
tention is also called to the urgent need
of another State hospital for the insane.
It appears that there are now in these in
stitutions 9.473 patients, the increase last
year being 545 and the average annual
incaease for the past thirteen years being
318. The Governor suggests that the
continued growth of this class of public
patients may require each future Legis
lature to provide a?i additional hospital—
a is somewhat alarming in
more ways than one. The State Board
of Charities prop*, ses' as an alternative,
that the several counties provide for the
care, employment, treatment and nain
tenancc of such of their insane as do not
require care in a state hospital. This
plan involves the erection of asylums in
the several counties at their own ex
pense; but the GovtiTior suggests that
two or more counties may unite for that
purpose.
The Governor discusses at some length
the protection of miners, and he recom
mends that the eighteen Mine Inspec
tors be placed under a responsible head
to whom they shall make detailed re
ports of the condition and equipment of
the mines under their charge. The Gov
ernor also urges the present Legislature
to discharge its constitutional duty by ap
portioning the State into new Senatorial
and Representative districts. The last
Senatorial apportionmeht was made in
1874 and the last Representative appor
tionment in 1887, and in many districts
the people are denied the representation
to which they are entitled. The same
thing may be said of some Congressional
districts, and it is to be hoped the pres
ent Legislature will discharge its consti
tutional duty in this regard.
The Governor recommends some need
ed amendments to the Ballot law, and
recent experience in some of the western
counties of the State has suggested eth
ers that are quite as urgently demanded.
He properly denouuees the corrupt use
of money in elections whethei primary
or general, as an offense which "should
not only be stigmatized as a crime, but
punished as a crime." It is possible that
some new statute may be needed for the
correction of this growing evil, but we
suspect the trouble lies not in the lack of
laws but in the disinclination to enforce
the laws that are already on the statute
books.
The Governor refers to several other
subjects of less general interest —corpor-
ations, the State library, the Department
of Agriculture, State sanitation, the pub
lic roads, the forests of the Stat/?, the
National Guard, the Banking Depart
ment, factory inspection, and the Sol
dier Orphan schools. On all these
points 1 is message I'uruisliea information
or suggests desirable improvements. It

A Growing Judicial Abui®.
The recent convention of the Common
Pleas Judges of the State has called atten
tion to some abuses by the judiciary and a
direct violation of law by many of them
The Philadelphia Press, in an article on
the subject, says:
"Some attention is being directed to the
fact that a considerable number of Com
mon Pleas Judges in the interior districts
are clearly abusing that provision ot the
lav which permits them to sit outside their
districts under certain circumstances The
provision was intended wholly to relievo
those Judges who might be under some
disability by enabling them to summon as
distance
"That the law was clearly taken advan
tage of by some Judges as a means ot in
creasing their pay attracted the attention of
the Legislature ol 1897. Taat body passed
an act specifically declaring that the com
pensation lor service in another district
•hall not exceed SSOO in any one year.
This docs not appear to have been of
much account with some ol the Judges
According to the Auditor-General's report
tor 1894, there was not less than nine
Judges whose extra compensation exceed
ed the lawlul amount, and some of these
received more than double 'he amount.
I Tee succeeding year of the report of the
same official shows the abase was still
greater, some of the Judges receiving
nearly three times the amount to which
they are limited by the Act of 1887. There
were alsj more cases than in thu previous
year. The figures for the past year are
not at hand, the report of the Auditor-
General not having been printed.
•'Many thousands of dollars are added
every year to the cost of the judiciary es
tablishment ol the State by this practice
of certain Judges changing off with each
other. It is carried to an extent which
cannot be excused. The compensation
allowed for this extra servico is $lO a dav
and mileago, and the amount paid soma
indicates that they mast have spent pretty
nearly one-hall their time outside their
districts, where they either did not have
enough to keep themselves busy one-half
the time or thev must have called in other
Judges to take their place while they were
absent. It is a well-kuown fact that in a
large number of districts a lew >veeks of
court each j ear id enough to finish up all
the business, and that the uiaiber of dis
tricts could be reduced with profit to the
State and no injury to anyone.
"In view of the Act of 1887 it is dim
cult to understand what authority there 13
for allowing any J edge compensation ex
ceeding ssoo a year for ektra services.
There ban been no subsequent legislation
to annul that Act, and its terras are very
explicit. If it is not to be obeyed the
legislature must feel called upon to take
some furtner aetion that will render eva
sion impossible. The eaisung temptation
to swap districts for the pay there »s .n it
would be done away with if all pay be
yond the fixed salary of the Judge were
abolished, and only mileage ana a fair
allowance for expenses permitted for ser
vice outside tho district. If there is no
restraint upon this abuse, if the limit fixed
by the Act of 1887 amounts to nothing,
there is no limit to the amount of expendi
ture that may result.
PBBSIDBST Cleveland, a few days ago
sent a bri9t message to the Senate trans
mitting the treaty between this country
and Great Britain for the arbritration of
all matters of difference between the two
nations. The making of this treaty for
the practical prevention of war between
the two great English-speaking countries
of the world is a noteworthy event and it
is one on which Mr. Cleveland has a right
to congratalate himself. It it tha great
est and best achievement of the prosent
Administration. It nr.w remains for the
Senate to determine whether the treaty
shall be ratified as lramed, or whether it
needs amendments.
HARRISBURG.
Aside from the vote in both houses for
United States senator Tuesday's sessions
of the legislature were qniet enough. It is
probably the calm before the storm, be
cause there are already symptoms of an
outbreak on tho part of the Wanamaker
people who are chafing under the rather
conspicuous self assertion ot the victor
ions Penrose faction.
The vote for United states senator was
a strictly party ono. For Penrose 42 Ro
pnblican senators voted, and the G Demo
crats voted for Hon. Cbauncey F. Black,
ol York. The onlv absence in the sen
ate was B. B. Mitchell, of Bradford. In
the hou-'e 168 Republicans supported Pen
rose, and all of the Democrats 33 in num
ber voted for Mr. Black. Representative
Moore of Chester, who had refused to vote
in the caucus because he did not want to
oe bound by it, voted for John
Wanamaker. Dr. Martin, ol Mercer, was
absent because of illness, and Represen
tative Pennewill, of Philadelphia, ha.* cre
ated a vacancy by taking charge of a mu
nicipal office in Philadelphia.
Tbore appears to be a determination to
get a road bill through this legislature,
and Senator Brown, of Westmorland ia
tioduced two in the senate Tuesday. One
provides that commencing tho first Mon
day of June 1808, $1,000,000 each year
shall be specifically appropriated for the
purposo of improving and maintaining the
public roads of the state under the super
vision of the supervisors, elected on the
third Tuesday of February 1898.
At Wednesday's sesoion a sham resolu
tion, intended to block the State Treasury
Investigation pa«aed the Senate, but was
defeated in the House.
WASHINGTON.
Senator Aldrick, who has been the only
one in the senate to openly oppose the
Phillips commission bill, was waitod upon
by a delegation of the Knights of La:>or,
who urgod him not to oppose the measure,
but to allow it to become a law. After a
lengthy conference the senator stated that
if he found the other senators were gener
ally in favor of the measure ho would not
make any factious opposition.
The ro election ot Senator Pritchard, of
North Carolina was very gratifying to the
Republican members of the Senate be
cause that it gives a Republican from that
State for the next six years, and also ho
cause it is a bitter defeat for his swell
headed colleague, Senator Marion Butler,
the Populist National chairman.
NOBODY can mistake the meaning of
the orders which the great railroad com
panies are placing for vast amounts of
steel rai.s and other equipments. They
are an almost infallible sign of business
revival and bettor times. The movement
and tondency of trade interests are studied
by nobody more carefully than by tho
managers of the great railway ompanies,
and when these latter begin to enlarge and
strengthen their facilities for transporta
tion it is always becauso they believe in
the near approach of increased business
activity.
Douthttt Disappointed.
Harrisburg, Pa.. Jan. 19.—(Special to

hut the iiate <.•< w iittee has chosen W. W,
Mecbling of Homestead. Mr. Douthett
ielt for home to-night and before going
said:
"About six weeks ago my father wrote
to Senator Quay asking him to a.-sist mo
in pelting the place. Quay replied that
my appointment would be satisfactory if
the approval of tho member of our dis
trict was secured.
"Thomas Tilbrook of McKeesport is our
lepresentative, and I secured bis indorse
ment. The Allegheny delegation gener
ally has been favorable to me. I was
slated Saturday in Philadelphia and came
to Harr'sbuig Sunday. Last night I dis
covered that there was a movement on
foot to displace me. I talked with Quay
by long distant tolephone. He told me
to confer with tho slate committee as its
members knew his wishes. I did so and
was told that Quay wanted Mechling. I
understand that ho was chosen in the hope
that tho Quayitcs could carry tho Sixth
legislative district in the st.to delegate
elections. Mr. Mechling did not have tho
indorsement of the legislators of his dis
trict. The members of tho slato commit
tee wanted to select me.

TRAVELING IN CUBA.
F if. Craig of Clarion now in Cuba
writes home as follows:
"It is almost impossible to travel in Cuba
now without a passport, but an American
citizen can generally obtain one by prov
ing his identity, giving a satisfactory ac
count of himself through an intetprete r
and paying a lee of $1 25. Armed with
this important document, we leave Hava
na at noon, and after a two hours run ar
rived at Batavano. Having had some ex
perience on the Pittsburg <fc Western Ry.,
this trip was not so novel as it otherwise
would have been. Instead of a switching
eni'lhe a pair of oxen was used in hauling
one car after another into place. I suppose
this is because Columbus used oxen in
making up his train when he first visited
Cuba, and the Spanish ruling cla-s does
not favor radical reforms. When the
train is ready to start a boy runs up and
down the platiorm ringing a handbell. A
P. A, W. coach is a palace car compared to
one of these The second class coaches
are simply box cars with hard board seats
and look us if they hadn't been swept out
since the war began. Every train in
cludes an armored car next the engine
filled with soldiora. Up to within a few
aiiles of Havana, the country presents a
scene of indescribable desolation. Sugar
plantations are in ruins, houses burned
down, fields laid waste, and the country
almost deserted. All along the railroad
are seen the stumps of former telegraph
poles, and in several places the culverts
have been rebuilt after being destroyed
with dynamite by raiding parlies of the in
surgents. The famous trocha tuns parallel
with the railway wcich is used in concen
trating the reserve columns at any
threatened point. The trocha consists of
a series of detaohed forts several hundred
yards apart, connected with a line of rifle
pits, sentry boxes, wire fences and
trenches. It is held by a force of 30,000
men, or rather boys for most of the Span
ish soldiers I have Seen were boys under
twenty. I think Co. D. of Clarion could
easily dispose of an equal number ol Wey
ler's host, but they wouldn't care to tackle
the cammissarv department. At meal
time a lot of steaming kettles are set out
and tho soldiers gather around with long
handled spoons and help themselves.
What the pots contain is a problem be
yond my knowledge ol the culinary art.
With the exceptions of arms and amuni
tion, these soldiers are hardly any better
off than t'ae Insurgents. They are poorly
fed and clothed and have not received any
pay for over a year. With half ol them
barefooted, they constantly have to make
long marches under a burning sun in
search of a foe they can never find until it
suit 3 his cwn convenience. Add to this
the terrors oi fmal)po» and yellow fever;
and it is little wonder that they dread a
campaign in Cuba."
"It is almost impossible to get any re
liable information and especially difficult
for one not familiar with the language,
tho official reports are extremely conflict
ing and always tell of Spanish yiotories.
It seems that Spanish veracity has cot
improved any in this respect since the
last war, when according to their own ac
counts, they slaughtered all the Cubans
on the island An American resident of
Havana kept a daily record of all the Cu
ban losses reported during tho Ten Years
War, and the sum totai amounted to moro
than tho entire population of the island.
Two hours before a newspaper appears on
tho streets ot Havana a copy is" sent to the
public censor end receive his appro
val before it can be distributed. Ail mail
matter is opened and examined. If this
communication were mailed here it would
never get farther than the censor at Hava
na; but it goes oo the schooner Isadora to
Key West, where it it IT 'JO hpped the
I ostmaster has better manners.
Cuba is as largo as Pennsylrauia and
has only one-third the population. It will
therefore be seen there is plenty of room
for all the American volnnteers who come
oyey with the intention of making it their
fn'oru uuUij. When "Cuba Libre" is an
assured fact, eyery one of them will re
ceive a tract, of confiscated Spanish land.
The soil js a black loam, and is said to be
so rich that the sayjr:g almost holds good,
"Tiokbi it with a ho 6 and it laughs a har
vest " in time of peace it would bo a
paradise lor a lajy man, et-pecially if he
was a vegetarian. Work would not then
be necessary, as an excellent bread is
made lrom the flour ol the ca.-sava plant
and dried bananas, and all kinds of delic
ious tropical fruits grow wild. Thero is
very Utile to be seen now, however, and
it will be j e»rs before the island will be
restored to its former prod'ictiyeuess.
I was accompanied here by one of the
prospective land owners—a Texas cow
boy—who is now watchiug lor an oppor
tunity to join the insurgents. I first met
him in key West, where he arrived with
a Iri end, twenty dollars in gold tied up in
a handkerchief, a Colt's revolver and a
belt lull of cartridges. His partner lost
heart and decamped with the gold on the
first steamer back to Galveston. Nothing
discouraged our filibuster sold his surplus
drygoods, revolver and amunition. and
came across with the proceeds on the Oli
vette. When ho secured his passport ho
claimed to bo a citizen of Pennsylvania, as
tho Spaniards seem to have "a special
grudge against the natives of the Lone
Star State. He says he is a good shot
and expects to make a fortune shooting
Spanish officers at SI,OOO a head.
»V ith the thermometer at 75 degrees in
the shi-de it is hard to realize that Christ
mas is almost here. It will bo anything
but a merry ono for Cuba; but it will be a
happy New Year if the United States
Congress promptly aots in accordance with
the principles ot eternal justice and the
will of the American people.

Pension Hoards.
Tliere is what is known as a Pension
Medical Examining Board in every county
in tho United States. They aru appointed
by the Commissioner of Pension*, and
many applicants for pensions and increase
of pensions are sent to theso Boards for
medical examination. Some years ago
they weie, to an extent non-partisan, in
Republican counties two Republicans and
one Democrat were appointed; and in Dem
ocratic counties the Board was composed
ot two Democrats ar,d one Republican. Du
ring Cleveland's first term he changed this
arrangement and tho Boards were compos
ed entirely of Democrats. Harrison follow
ed the Cleveland plan,and when the Boards
were organized appointed, in most instan
ces, all Republicans. Like 4th class post
offices these Boards were changed pretty
soon after the incoming of a r.ew adminis
tration Cleveland wa-i not long in office
for his second term until the Republicans
in these places were ousted and their pi iocs
were filled by. Democrats. And Cleveland
proposes that his appointees shall stay, as
he Las just issued an order putting them
under the livil service law, and now they
can only be removed for cause.
In some counties the fees amouLt to
several bncdred dollars a year and the po
sition in Butler county is now likely worth

limes past it was much more valuable
