JOHN L. JONES. HARItISBURG. It is said that Gov. Stone and Secre tary of the Commonwealth Greist are not enjoying the most cordial relations, and all because the governor first ap proved the McClain bill, permitting the formation of all kinds of corporations, and then withdrew and vetoed it be cause in transcribing it some legislative clerk had altered it so as to permit the chartering of distilling companies. The bill was prepare at the state de partment. and Secretary Greist and Representative McClain. from his own city of Lancaster, introduced it in the house. The secretary had a pride in making a good showing for his office in the way of raising revenue and he estimated that it would bring at least $400,000 per annum into the state treas ury. Consequently he was rejoiced when the governor approved the bill, even though it permitted the incorpor ation of distilling companies, a fact that seems to have been known before the governor approved it. His joy was changed to grief when the governor withdrew the bill and vetoed it, an ac tion on his part that will be contested in court, as a certified copy of this bill was secured from the Btate department between the time the governor approved it and his withdrawal of it. Greist held that there was no occas ion for vetoing the bill, because it in corporated distilling companies and that under it there was no call on the governor to grant a charter to a distill ing company, as he could exercise his discretion and refuse to grant a charter to distilling companies and thus render nugatory the work of the clerk who altered the bill. He pleaded for the measure as a revenue raiser, but with out avail. Representative George Hosack. chair man of the house ways and means com mittee, is understood to be back of the movement to mandamus the secretary of the commonwealth to compel him to issue a charter to a company formed under the McClain act. It will be contended that the bill was regularly signed and certified copies furnished by the secretary ot the commonwealth be fore Gov. Stone discovered the fraudu lent change and recalled it. Representative Clinton Rogers Wood ruff of Philadelphia has advised his friends that he will institute proceed ings against Secretary of the Common wealth Greist to determine whether his joint resolution proposing an amend •»* ment to the Constitution for personal registration is a law, the governor's veto notwithstanding. WITH a little tact a man who doesn t know much of anything may get along in this world without exposing his colossal ignorance—providing he has sense enough to keep quiet—for most people are much more anxious to make a display of the little knowledge they have than to gain more. About the .Hcliool Fund. It seems to be settled that legal pro ceedings will be instituted in the Su preme Court to test the right Of the Governor nnder the Constitution to veto a proposed amendment to the Constitu tion, and also to appoint a United States Senator. In addition to these proceed ings it ia reasonably certain that legal measures will be taken in some form to test the power of the Governor to re dace the school appropriation. It will probably be done by the proper officer of some school fund applying to the Court for a mandamus upon the State Treasurer to pay the full amount of money appropriated by the Legislature for his district. The question of the right of the Gov ernor to reduce an appropriation to the schools presents a legal issue with com plicated aspects. There are three pi op ositions which may be urged, but only one of which could be maintained by the conrts. The first is that the Gover nor, in approving part of the appropria tion. legally approved of the whole, be cause of bis want of power to change the amount appropriated. That, if sus tained, wonld carry the whole approp riation. The second is that the Gover nor, in vetoing part of the appropriation vetoed the whole, because of his inabil to veto part and approve part. Tliat position, if sustained, would prevent any approriation to the schools for two years, unless the Legislature shall be reconvened to make new appropria tions. The third is that the Governor's action approving part and vetoing part of the school appropriation was entirely nugatory, and that the appropriation became a law by lapse of time. The distinctive issue to be decided in the legal proceedings to inforce the pay ment of the full appropriation to the schools relates to the right of the Gov ernor to change the amount of an appro priation made by the Legislature. His right to veto any specific item in the general approprition bill, whether it shall be a section, a paragraph, a sen tence or even part of a sentence, is not disputed; but no Executive has ever heretofore assumed the right to change the amount if specifically appropriated by the Legislature for any particular purpose. It i« a very imjiortaut counti tutional question and one that has never raised. beenoreven thonghtof.untilGov. Stoni applied the principle to the gen eral appropriation bill of the last Legis lature. He has managed to raise more constitutional disputes just on the threshold of his term than any Gover nor of the past precipitated during bis entire services.--Phila Times. ONE American company in the last Bixty days has received orders for forty three steam and gas engines, and they will be ship|>ed to nineteen different countries. American machinery is famous now the world over. As Austrian Colonel has designed a quick-firing gun surpassing all previous inventions. Its advantages are not only in the great range and rapidity of fire, but it caiues no smoke. Hash nor report, being practically noiseless. Dewey starts for Home. The cruiser Olympia with Admiral Dewey on board left Manila on her homeward journey to the United States at 4 o'clock p. w. last Saturday. As she steamed away the Oregon. Balti more and Concord fired an admiral s -alute. At the first shot the band on the flagship's afterdeck played a lively air, and her whiteclad sailors crowded the decks and gave a tremendous cheer. As the Olympia passed the Oregon *.he crew of that l»ttleship pave nine cheers for the Olympians, who respond ed by throwing their caps so high that dozens of them were left bobbing in the wake of the cruiser. Then followed the noisest half hour known in that harbor since the battle which linked its name with that of Dewey. As the line of guns and bands echoed through the smoke and the steam launches shrieked their whistles, the musicians of the Baltimore played 'Home. Sweet Home.'' her flags signal :-d "Good Bye. and those of the Oregon said Pleasant Yoyage." The merchant vessels in these waters dipped their flags, the women on the decks of the vessels of the fleet waved handkerchiefs, and the great, black British cruiser Powerful, which lay the furthest out. saluted the Olympia. The latter's band then played "God save the Queen." and to this th ? crew of the Powerful responded with hearty cheers for the Olympia. The last music heard from Admiral Dewey's ship was "Auld Lang Syce," while the guns from the forts at Cavite and from the Monterey/on guard off Paranaque, too far off to be audible puffed white clouds of smoke. The Olympia was disapi»earing past Corre gidor island when a battery before the walled city spoke Manila's last words of farewell. Admiral Deivey sat on the deck of the Olympia and received the adieus of his friends during most of the day. The launch of Major General (His was the first to arrive alongside the cruiser, at 7 o'clock Saturday morning, and after ward the admiral landed and called upon the major general and the United States Philipine commissioners. Admiral Dewey was enthusiastic over his home-going, yet when mention was made of the welcome to be extended to him he said he appreciated the friend ship of his countrymen deeply, but hoped they would not be too demon strative. He intends to go directly to his home at Montpelier, Yt., and live there. On it being said that people wanted him to go home by way of San Franci «co and across the continent, the admiral replied: "If I was 20 years younger and had political ambitions I would not miss that chance." Speaking of the situation Admiral Dewey said: "I believe we are near the end. The insurgents are fast going to pieces. The sending of a third com mission shows that they believe this commission means business. Captain Walker of the Concord, the last of the commanders in battle there, went to the admiral and said: "Don't leave me behind." So he was relieved and goes home on the Olympia. SHAKESPEARE, though financially I>oor, was the world's greatest philan thropist. He bequeathed to mankind and all the "generations yet nnlwrn a treasury of wisdom infinitely beyond price. He is the great interpreter of nature. If you can read and enjoy Shakespeare you have a soul. Carnegie's Interests Only. The statement of Mr. H. C. Frick sets at rest all the wild stories of a gigantic steel trust as well as the exaggerations concerning the capitalization of the Carnegie Company. The consolidation is simply a closer welding of the Car negie and Frick interests and the capi tal will be $250,000,000 in one. kind of stock, under a Pennsylvania charter. Whether any of the securities will lie offered to the investing public has not yet been determined, though it is prob able little if any will get outside the present partners in the business. The consolidation is made for better convenience in handling a business that has attained phenomenal success with out this advantage. It needs no proph et to foretell a continuance of that suc cess in increasing measure. As Pitts burg has been proud of the Carnegie concern, so it wi 11 continue to be. It is good news for this city that it is to re tain its autonomy and continue the competitive business which has made it the leader of the world of industry. It is also gratifying to note that there is no truth in the minors of inordinate inflation of the cajiital of the new com pany. Mr. Frick was wise it making this statement, for while the consolidation is a matter of private business is is of great public interest The effect of definite information—especially the putting to rest of exaggerated rumors —should be good for the business world - -Dispatch. THK British fleet and officials at Hong Kong gave Dewey a tremendous recep tion Tuesday. Dewey will stay there for ten days, and then resume his journey westward. His reception at New York will probably be the greatest in history. Harmony and Kcliciuiple. Sue Fiedler, the postmistress of Harmony was a Pittsburg visitor on Monday. Prof. J. (.'.

The peach is a fruit that everybody seems to like and on.- that set-uis to be in great demand if produced to perfec tion. Many farmers send to the city for their supply annually, I have sold more peaches to neighbors than any other kind of fruit, and yet with all the demand we see very few farmers raising peaches for their'own use. We hear many complain that they cannot get trees to live long enough to bear more than one crop They have bought many trees and spent much money and time and have failed. Why? Is the fault in the trees or in the men? Now let ns SEE what observation has taught us in regard to this fruit. I know far mers who have bought many fine trees from the nursery, have had them deliv ered in good shape, who have planted those trees in a small lot already over crowded with trees of other kinds and they have never got those trees to pro duce one good peach If any did live long enough to bear the fruit was so in ferior in quality that it did not taste like a peach. Again there is an orchard that was set out some years ago. not far from my place, that should be almost in full bearing, and yet there is not two trees in the whole orchard that is five feet high, the height that I should desire to have them commence branching ont. but between the farm stock and the team in farming the land those trees have all been broken down until they are nothing but a mass of sprouts and if they were mine I should certainly dig them all out and put them to the fiames and mot occupy the land with them. The peai-h is different from almost all other kinds of fruit trees in its wood, it is very open grained anil makes very fast growth, consequently is more ten der and should get just the reverse treatment in its growth from the apple. Whilst we shonld give the young apple tree good land and high fertilization until it comes to bearing age and then let up somewhat to allow it to bear, we should never try to force the peach tree. .1 have never known a peach tree set out in a rich garden or yard to produce more than one or two crops and then die. I have trees that have been producing fruit for more than twenty years and some of them appear as though they might produce fruit for some years more, and they stand on the poorest land on the farm. The peach tree should be planted on high ground: the top of a hill facing south is best; they should be planted by themselves and not amongst other larger trees; they shonld have ample room, say sixteen feet from tree to tree; they should be pruned about 5 feet from the ground to lower limbs and the lower limbs should not be allowed to grow too long; cut the end off so that the sun and air may get to the crown, do not allow any limb that is to be removed to grow too large be ore cutting. 1 do my peach trimming with my pen-knife and fingers, breaking the young shoots as the}' sprout out, unless some large limb shows signs of decay, than I use the pruning saw. After a peach tree blooms the first time is the proper time to fertilize, this should be done by using well rotted barnyard manure (not strawy) well spread over the ground and plowed in. Plow very shallow and do" not put the manure close to the crown of the tree but put it out where the feeding root lets will get the benefit of it. Commer cial fertilizers if strong in potash is far preferable to barny.-.r.L manure It should be put on the latter part of Febuary or as soon after as possible so that the crop may get the benefit of it. Let me again insist that there should never be any sward allowed to form around the crown of any fruit tree and especially the peach. WM. J. PACOE. East View Fruit Farm, May 20, 1*99. Itcnlrew.
