FOR JURY COMMISSIONER
A. O. EBERHART-
OI K STATK Si:NATK.
As uow controlled our State is
not a very creditable institution to our
State To try to jrain a little factional
advantage the controlling element.head
ed by that chief ringster. W II An
drews, the discredited Senator from
Crawford county, at the last session of
the Legislature forced a resolution
through to "Lexow Philadelphia af
fairs.
This would give them a junketing
time in the interval between sessions, at
the expense of the State. Strong opj»o
--sition was encountered in the House,
which, to its credit, refused to join in
the proposed "raid on the treasury.
Foiled in their attempt to get the res
olution through the House the "ring
stern" determined to "go it alone and
later force a bill through to y>av the ex
penses. Many thought they wonld not
have the audacity to attempt such a
thing, but it proved otherwise, as the
sequel will show. Placing Andrews at
the head of the Committee, as C'hair
man, satisfied most people that the
whole "Lexow investigation" wonld be
a farce, and after a great "blare of
trumpets" and pretense of investigation,
they conclude their labors, prepare and
present their report, which when
examined is a repetition of the "monn
tain groaning, and out comes a tiny,
little mouse."
Why, any of our newspapers in Pitts
burg or Philadelphia have correspon
dents. who in a few honrs, could have
written up and given the people of the
State far more information of the
"working of the Bullitt charter, than
is contained in the "Lexow Report.
The report is made to the Senate an<l
a resolntion to print 2,500 copies rushed
through and went to the Hou.se, where
it encounters many snags on its voyage,
but was finally "pushed through." sent
to Governor Hastings, who, to his cred
it be it said, vetoed the bill, as an nn
neesary expense. But the crowning act
of the farce is played when the bill for
expenses is presented to the Senate, and
an appropriation asked for the payment
of the iniquitous measure
Senator Andrews of Crawford county,
the Chairman, with his usual "gall,
which is said to be unlimited and "on
tap" all the time, is the champion of the
bill which calls for an appropriation of
$65,908.96 for expenses for what ';
Why, "Lexowing Philadelphia." A
thing not called for by the people of the
State, wholly unnecessary, and why
should the treasury lie looted to that
extent when no good was to come of it;
The bill comes up in the Senate for con
Bideration and is antagonized by a few
Senators who api>ear to have some de
cency about them when it comes to ap
propriating the peoples' money. Sena
tor C. C. Kaufman, in dissecting, and
analyzing the bill said
"Total nninber of sessions of commit
tee, 57; average number of Senators sit
ting at each session, 4}; average length
of each session, 2 hours and 25 minutts:
total number of hours committee in ses
sion, 137}; total number of witnesses
sworn, 436. Careful examination shows
at least 30 i>er cent, of witnesses will ac
cept no compensation for their services.
"Committee held 57 meetings at a
cost of $05.908.98, or $1.156.28 per ses
sion; committee was in session 137}
hours, a cost of $485.72 for each hour in
session
"Four hundred and thirty-six wit
nesses were examined, at a cost of #33.
022.22, or an average per witness of
$75.73.
"Expenses of committee at Hotel
Walton for 57 sessions. $5,912.40. or an
average cost of $103.72 per meeting for
hotel expenses. The number of Sena
tors present at each meeting was four
and a half, making average hotel cost
day for each Senator in attendance.
"Cost of stenographer for 57 meetings,
•9,812.25, or an average cost per session
of $172.14. Average length of meetings
being 2 hours and 25 minutes, the aver
age cost per hour for stenographer was
s7l .23. Stenographer's bill for report I
ing testimony of 430 witnesses is $9,
812.25, an average cost per witness of
$22.50.
"Average cost jier witness for mileage
and fees is $75.73. Average cost for
stenographer's services per witness is
$22 .50, making total cost per witness of I
$93.2*.
"Counsel fees for 57 meetings is $12,-
000.00, average cost per meeting of
$210.53."
Kaufman is aided by Senator Flinn of
Pittsburg, and some others in excising
the monstrous character of the bill.
Was ever a more unrighteous claim
presented, and payment asked than the
above? Fifty-seven meetings cost 91,-
156,28 each for 2 hours and 25 minutes
alleged work, or S4HS 72 per hour. Great
Bcott' how hard the "grave and rev
eraed Senators" must have worked to
cause that much expense hourly?
Then what on earth could they have
been eating and drinking to make the
hotel bill cost $103.72 for each 2 hours
and 25 minutes, the average time of
sessions';
What extremely expert stenographers
they must have had to earn $71.2:! per
hour. Then comes the lawyers fees
$210.42 for each meeting, average time
2 hours and 25 minutes.
Is there any person living that will
fitt a moment contend this bill is an
honest bill of expenses,for an honest in
vestigation"; The bare asking of the
question brings the answer. We ven
ture to say that even Andrews himself,
would scarcely want to defend the bill
on the score of honesty. Compared
with this attempt to "loot the treasu
ry," highway robliery would be a decent
occupation, for the highwayman would
take chances sometimes of being shot,
whereas this is an effort to take
money from the treasury by legal forms
with no risk of jwrsonal danger. No
wonder the treasury is running low,and
the officers scurrying round to find new
subjects for taxation and raising reve
nue if snch raids as theae are to be tol
erated. There must be a change in the
management of our affair*, such things
as these must not Is- allowed, or the
people will, in no uncertain sound, call
the lenders to account.
H W MARCUS, an Olean, N. V.,
merchant, hns suggested to the secreta
ry of the treasury the idea of issuing
currency by colors, each denomination
of bills to Is; printed in its special color
Mr. Marcus claims, and apparently on
g'jod ground, that the denomination of
a bill would be known by a glance, and
that in establishment- where large sums
of money are handled, the error of a
bill in the wrong package would be im
mediately noticed. Under such a sys
tern it would Is- impossible for crooks
to raise bills to a higher denomination
unless they also change the color of the
the bill to corre«ix>nd with the raise
Mr. Marcns' idea seems to have some
good ]>oints, and has (»>cn referred by
Secretary Gage to the director of the
bureau of engraving and printing

On Wednesday of last week, the
President appointed ex-Senator
8. Fruit. of Sharon. Mercer connty. col
lector of internal revenue for the
Twenty third district to succeed E. A.
Bigler, of Clearfield, whose term expires
on June 6 Although this is one of the
most lucrative offices in Western Penn
sylvania. there were but few active
candidates for the place. It seemed t»>
be conceded ever since last winter that
Mr. Fruit would carry off the plum,
and consequently many of the ambitiou.-
ones did not enter the race. The office
pays $4 000 per year. If the civil ser
vice regulations are continued in force
Mr. Fruit will have but one appoint
ment to make. that of depatv collector,
at *2,000 per year.
In the House Thursday Mr Lewis
offered a resolution to recognize the
belligerency of the Cubans, and en
deavored to obtain consideration for it
on the ground that it was a privileged
qaestion. as it dealt with the foreign
relations of the government The reso
lution also declared that it i- the right
and authority "of Congress to make such
recognition. Speaker Reed declared it
out of order, holding that it could be
introduced only in the regular order,
and referred to a committee yet to be
appointed. Mr. Lewis appealed from
the decision of the chair and Mr. Ding
ley moved to table the appeal This
was carried by a vote of 01 to 57. f>n a
roll call the speaker was sustained 38 to
51, present and not voting 17, and he
announced 'no quorum. Immediately
Mr. Dingley moved to adjourn, and
with several Democrats shouting for
recognition, the motion was carried by
a party vote and the House adjourned
to Monday.
After a long period of silence Senator
Tillman of South Carolina startled the
senate last Friday by a speech no less
dramatic in its delivery than sensation
al in its allegations. He preceded it by
presenting a resolution for the appoint
ment of a special committee of five
senators to investigate charges of spec
nlation by senators while the tariff bill
was liefore the finance committee. In
advocating the resolution Mr. Tillman
threw aside the usual conventionalities
of the senate, and with a plainness of
speech seldom heard about the halls of
congress called on his associates to in
vestigate the published charges of sen
atorial speculation; and if found true,
purge the senate of those who debauch
ed it. Mr Aldrich, in charge of the
tariff bill, answered Mr. Tillman in a
sweeping denial. The Tillman resolu
tion was referred to the committee on
contingent expenses of the senate.
It i> saiil that no change will }>e made
in the postoffices that were ' raised
during the latter days of Cleveland's
administration, which, if true, will
continue the encumbents at Evans City
and Slipperyrock, for the present.
FOURTEEN vessels, laden with free
wool sailed into Boston Harbor a few
days ago. It is evident that a year's
supply of foreign wool will have been
brought into the country before the
new tariff act can possibly be put upon
the statute books. Yet there are people
who are wondering why prosperity has
not come already. With hundreds of
millions of dollars going abroad for for
eign production instead of into the
hands of our people, it is unreasonable
to expect any result of the late election
until the legislation required of the new
Congress can be enacted.

HARRISBI'KG.
On Thursday quite a number of rev
enue bills i>&ssed the House including
one taxing foreign beer one cent a
gallon, and one taxing domestic beer a
half cent a gallon. A bill was also
pas>*-d authorizing the State Treasurer
to issue brewer s licenses at JI.OOO each.
Monday night Gov. Hastings sent to
the Legislature vetoes of the bills in
creasing the salaries of deputy sheriffs
in Philadelphia, allow ing public school
houses to be used for Sunday schools,
a-i 1 for the assessment and collection of
special taxes for street sprinkling. Hi
objections to the Sunday school bill are
that it is local or sjn-cial legislation and
is in conflict with the Constitution. He
says it i? a matter of common know
ledge that in many places school houses
are used for Sabbath school pnrjtoses
and the conducting of religions exer
cises. but he does not deem it wise, in
dejiendently of the constitutional ques
tion involved, to place uj>on the statute
liooks any legislative authority for the
u-M' of public school houses for any
other purposes than that for which they
are created.
The Governor also, notified Snperin
tended of Printing Robinson not to
print the 5,000 copies of the Lexow re
port ordered by the Senate, on the
ground that it requires a concurrent
resolution. It will be rememdered the
Governor vetoed a resolution to print
2,500 copies of the report, because it
pledged him in advance to approve the
appropriation to follow.
These moves on the part of the Gov
ernor made some of the rooster senators
squirm, and Grady immediately intro
duced a resolution intended to load the
responsibility for raising revenue on the
Governor. He had a concurrent reso
lution passed, with little opposition
calling upon the executive to say
whether there will be a deficit, and to
suggest subjects of taxation. The fol
lowers of Grady, who is leading the
Senate battalion, are full of glee and
think this will put the Goverhor deep
in the mire; but others, with no axes to
grind, can see where Grady has placed
a club in the hands of the executive.
The session of the Insurance Scandal
Investigating Committee. Tuesday, was
a very interesting one. John French
of Oil"City, agent for a New York Life
Insurance Co., told of visiting State
Senator C. M. Shortt of Warren-Venan
go district, at Shortt's home in Sugar
Grove, Warren county, and making ar
rangements with him for the defeat of
a certain bill. In his evidence French
quoted Shortt as follows:
" 'Well now, Mr. Fiske should re
member that he shouldn't dare the boys
to do anything, for he is in our hands
and not we in his, the bill is slated to
go through all right.' He added: 'Now,
I tell you, the men you want to get
after are Judge Durham, of Phila
delphia. and Senator Andrews, of Titus
ville, he (referring to Andrews) is right
in that kind of business and doesn't
make any bones about it. Of course,
for me, 1 have got plenty and wouldn t
do anything of that sort. You know
the countrymen are straight and square
and yet ( with a shrug of the shoulders)
that isn't to say I cannot be touched.
"I then said to Short: Then yon
think the only way this thing can be
fixed is by dollars and cents'.'' to which
Shortt replied: "Most assuredly: why
d—n it. you have already spent enough
iti [wastage stamps to settle the thing.
Shortt continning, said: I learn your
company is paying one agent $15,000 a
year, and of course you know the boys
think they ought to get a little stake
out of it Why, with insurance com
panies and railroad companies and the
Armour Beef company, it is a common
practice to fix these matters all right
If a bill comes up affecting a railroad
company, they never appear, but the
matter is fixed up all right. Why,
when your company was asked for its
assets and liabilities and its standing,
we already had that information, but it
was asked to determine how much to
strike them for.'
I then said: Supposing another >»i 11
of this kind should crop up anda simlar
settlement had to l>e ina<le, why it
would be dead robbery. To which
Shortt replied: 'Oh. no, by the boys
are honorable; they would never forget
it.
A Treasury Deficit.
Next to the Lexow committee's bill
tbe moat sensational feature of tha
week was the declaration by Auditor
General Mylin that there would be u
deficit in the revenues of $3,600,000.
This 1b Just $1,600,000 more than the
previous estimates. In other words,
the state has to raise Just this amount
of money In addition to the $19,000,000
or $20,000,000 which It must ordlnaiily
raise to pay the running expenses of
the state government, its schools, pris
ons, asylums and hospitals, together
with the other demands upon Its treas
ury. And yet with the state's finances
In this condition the Lexow committee
Is demadlng $66,000 to pay lis expenses
contracted to no purpose whatever.
It Is proposed by the bosses to force
this I-exow appropriation bill through
the legislator* The Lexow appropria
tion bill will undoubtedly be used as a
forcible argument to compel members
to vote for it under penalty of losing
appropriations in which they are In
terested.
This means, as already explained In
previous letters, that unless members
of the legislature vote for the Lexow
bill of $65,000 they will be threatened
with the defeat of appropriation bills
for hospitals, asylums and charitable
Institutions in which they arc Interest
ed. It It proposed to hold the Lexow
bill as a club over the heads of mem
bers who do not believe that the state
should pay the enormous sum of money
for a farce.
That the bosses are growing: desper
ate is shown in the fact that they have
commenced openly to fight Governor
Hasting* because of his attempts to
restrain the wasteful expenditure of
the public funds. A dispatch from
Harrisbur/ in this subject to a Phila

"For n v< i.'! iltya past it has been an
open seerei here In Harrisburg that a
determined :md vigorous attempt was
to be mat! • to override an nmny of
Governor Hastings' recent vetoes as
possible. Kon.e of thfse vetoes had
touched lnutetits very close to the
hearts of certain alleged leaders. In
vetoing ih« e measures, however, the
governor hail saved thousands of dol
lars to the state, but tills fait did not
weigh In the balance as against the
selfish inter' :s of certain members of
house and > nate.
"A combination led by two Philadel
phia senators was therefore formed
with the e»jiri ss purpose of passing
these measures over the governor's
veto, and not only these bills, but all
future bills in which the coinMnation
of senatos w. re Inti^ested.
"The plan as arranged by these
gentlemen was not to consider any of
the vetoes separately or as they came
up in their order, but to wait until
every detail had been arranged and
every senator "lined up,' anil then, at
some designated session the vetoes
would In* taken up separately, one after
the other, and passed despite the ad
verse action of the executive. In pur
suance of this policy not one of Gov»
crnor Itaxtings' recent vetijes has been
considered up to the present time.
There has been a tacit understanding
among the senate majority that they
were not to be railed up until every
thing Is resdy, and then there was to
be a certain time sat apart exclusively
for the slaughtering of the- governor's
veto messages."
The taxpayers of the state are rapid
ly rousing to a full realization of the
peril that awaits them at the hands of
the hi sseH. Trusts are being protected
luid Im 11 \ iduai taxpayers are made to
suffer. Times are hard and money
scarce, but the waste of the state's
funds goes ahead with Increased
rapidity. Scores of letters are received
every day at the headquarters of the
Business Men's League in this • Ity
from prominent Republicans all over
th» state expressing disgust and dis
suti.' fait ion at the existing condition of

THK Philadelphia Record remarks
that if it were asked to name the most
important and the most praiseworthy
work thus far accomplished at the pres
ent session of the Legislature it would
have no hesitation in giving precedence
to the act making the kindergarten a
part of oar free school system:
"Be it enacted, &c.. that the school
direc tors of the several >chool districts
of this Commonwealth may establish
and maintain out of the pnlilic school
treasury fret- kindergartens for children
between the ages of three and six years
residing in their districts.
Approved thin 14th day of April, A
D. i*yr.
The school directors in all district;-
where there is a sufficient infant popula
tion ready for the simple primary in
struction given in the kindergarten
should lake early advantage of this per
missive legislation. Without doubt it"
there were compulsory choice made be
tween kindergartens and high schools
whether one or the other should lie
abandoned, it would be wise to let the
high schools go. Once the foundation
of the house of knowledge has been
strongly bnilded the completion of the
structure is a matter of less concern.
Tlio Frcejiort llridgc War.
On Thursday of last week Phillip*
erected another obstruction to the
Westmoreland approach to the bridge
and that evening a dozen farmers made
a raid opon ii Phillips was on guard,
but contented himself with notifying
the party that they were 011 his prop
erty. and made no attempt to assault
them They were not to be restrained,
however, and, attacking the barricade,
soon demolished it and drove triumph
antly into Freeport cheered by several
hundred persons who witnessed the
scene. The raiders say they are acting
under instructions from the county
commissioners.
Thursday afternoon a deputy sheriff
from Greens burg served a writ for tres
pass on the Allegheny township farmers
who destroyed the fence on Saturday.
Phillips alleges they were on his land,
and will have them ail punished.
A Centre Township Reunion.
At the home of Mr. and Mrs.
Anthony Thompson, on Thursday
morning, May 27, 1897, their friends
and neighbors assembled to the number
of about 250. to celebrate the birthday
of Mrs. Thompson, who had that day
arrived at the end of her Cist year of
age. Mr. Thompson entered upon his
60th year, just a few days previous.
Mr. and Mrs. Thompson were kept in
total ignorance of such a reunion of
friends and relatives until they began
arriving in such numbers that their
purpose became apparent. When the
cordial greeting was attended with the
usual mingled surprise and joy, which
belongs to such occasions. The pres
ence of the West Sun bury brass band,
which with its enchanting music arous
ed the harmonies of nature in the sur
rounding hills and valleys, added to the
enjoyment and entertainment of the
day.
After the dinner, which was enjoyed
by all, Mr. Robert Hamilton called the
assembly to order, and Rev. Hutchison
was elected chairman, and O. <t. Me
Candleas secretary. After which, the
large audience was entertained with
able and fluent addresses, and music by
the band.
Rev. Walker, of North Hope, being
the first speaker, in fitting words of re
spect, called attention to the fact that
the presence of such a host of friends
was one of the best evidences of their
esteem for the host and hostess as well
as the ancient family's name, and in a
lengthy address spoke sf the opportuni
ties and encouragements of youth.
Rev Hutchison's address was an
earnest, appeal to the young to lay hold
of life's battles and fisrht to the end.
With appropriate words to the aged,
and in behalf of the donors Rev. Wal
ker presented Mr. and Mrs. Thomp
son with the many presents which had
been brought by the friends, and also
handsome chairs by their children. By
request the band played "Marching
Through Georgia.'' and after being
further entertained with several selec
tioiis, and feeling that the day had
been most pleasantly spent the large
crowd gradually disappeared, after a
vote of thanks to the band

the local band moved from Farmington.
where they decorated the graves of the
departed comrades lying in the M. E.
cemetery, to "Old Stone" Presbytwrinn
church and thence to the U. P. church.
The G. A. R. memorial .ites were per
formed at both places. Ai noon Com
mander Kirk Sloan served dinner to
everybody and cover-id himself with
glory as a host. After dinner the Me
morial services were presided over by
Jonathan R. (.'onlter; prayer was offered

A. E. Middleton, Esq., of Emlenton. .)
W. Coulter, Esq., and E. 11. Negley of
Butler; Rev. Dnnkle of the M. E.
church and Rev. Ritchey made brief
addresses. The church choir sang ap
propriate songs, and the male quartet,
led by Mr Aiken, deserve especial
mention. Rev. Coulter pronounced the
benediction.
Farmington is an unusually pleasant
little village and its people show an in
terest in public affairs and services
which is commendable.

The fanners of Hempfield township.
Westmoreland county, are alarmed
over the appearance of a strange mala
dy that h: 1 - broken out among their
cattle. Within the past few days John I
Rosensteel lost four head of choice cows
and a fine steer, and two or three others
will likely find a similar fate. The at'- ;
flicted animal's eyes close up. the mouth j
waters profusely and death usually en- j
sues two days after the attack.
Charley Law. of Jefferson county
buried 75 bushels of apples last fall He
dug them up this spring, and there
were only 14 bushels left. The rest had
i been cut to pieces by field mice. Those
that he kept in his cellar in barrels are
all right, fresh and fine, and he has
! fifty bushels left, for which he finds a
ready sale, on account of their fine
condition. There is considerable com
plaint from the farmers in different
localities about here concerning the
ravages of the field mouse, which are
becoming very plentiful. This is at
tributed to the fact that the polecats,
which live almost exclusively upon
field mice, are becoming scarce, owing
to the fact that their jielts have been
valuable for the pa#t few years, and
they have Ix-en hunted with great
eagerness and persistency. Now they
have discovered that odoriferous j»ole
cat is worth more as a mouse destroyer
than his hide is worth.
Tb.-Oil City papers tell of the re

The wound healed, but a portion of his

lung by the bullet, remained there un
til a few d.ivs ago, when Williams
coughed it up.
