HOCKENBERRY, of Slipperyrock. W. B. MCGEAJSY, of Butler. GEOBGE B. TURNER, of W. Sunlmn-. Legislation. One of the great evils of this country is a surfeit of legislation. There are forty-five states in the Union, each one having a legislative assembly, and then we have another legislative body to pass laws for the people as a nation, all en gaged in the manufacture of laws. Every man who is sent to Congress or a state legislature is ambitious to be the father of a law or two, and will jump at the faintest suggestion that may give him an excuse to frame a bill. If he fail to secure the passage of a bill with his name attached to it a large percentage of his superficial constituents will sneer at him and ask; "What laws did he originate? What good has he accomplished?" The man who goes to a legislative body with an axe, and devotes bis energy and talents to the destruction of the squirming mass of snakey bills that are iuvariably proposed, is vastly mor>- useful than the man who succeeds in cumbering the statute boobs with a lot of superfluous acts of assembly. The trouble seems to be that o.;r statesmen do not study popular sen timent. Only when a law is demanded —when its enactment is required to correct some real evil, should it ever be proposed. We get plenty of laws that we do not want, and very few that we do want. This is so clearly true that the Pennsyl vania legislature is the biennial terror of the people. Bills are introduced with no other purpose than to threaten gome interest with a view to compel ling it to put up a lot of money to have the bill defeated. The liquor dealers, railroad companies, School book pub lishing houses, insurance companies, and water and electric lit'ht companies are the special prey of these legislative sharks. Ajid even when u bill is intro duced in .good faith affecting anv of these interests it is almost impossible to pass it, because the shark element will help to defeat it for a price. This evil is confined to no party. It is a matter of individual character. The surprising thing is that any constitu ency would elect such hyenas to the legislature. But they do, and in some cases return them year after year. Public sentiment should always con trol legislation. But it don't. There has long been a popular demand for a constitutional amendment making United States Senators elective by the 1 'iipnlni- irnVi But the Congress meets • and adjourns regularly Wltticrat nnthor izing the submission of such an amendment to the people of the several States There is also a genuine public senti ment in favor of a new legislative ap portionment in accordance with the mandate of the Constitution, but in stead the Legislature passes a few hundred bills that we did not ask for, and never would ask for. Genuine public sentiment is the com mon opinion of the people. Petitions do not always represent the real desires of the people, because those who sign them are often persuaded to do so bv influences that have nothing to do with the merits of the case. Many of them sign because it is easier to sign than to refuse. Elections do not always re present the genuine judgment of the people. A fictitious sentiment is cre ated by sp.oehmkers and writers and by personal appeals to the voters. The real sentiments of a people are only to be obtained when they have not been wrought upon in any way, and when they are uninfluenced by selfish or sympathetic considerations. To dis tinguish between sentiment that is genuine and permanent, and grow ing, and sentiment that is artificial, transient and declining, is one of the most neccessary arts of statesmanship. To pass laws that are not supported by a real and lasting public sentiment, ' in which a large majority of the people concur, is either demagogy or tyranny, or both/ Legislative bodies should jass no laws that the people do rot ask for, and they should pass laws that the people do ask for.—Punx'y Spirit. POLITICAL. The first week in April finds us with bad roads and bad weather—a fact that the prospective candidates for next year want to remember. There was no ne cessity for holding the primary early this year and there will be none next. The new rules require that the Coun ty Committee fix the date at its first meeting- -that of June .'Jd next—for the following year. One candidate in our office a few days ' ago expressed a preference for the first week in July. On the last day of the session the Republicans of the Nebraska Legisla ture managed, by dropping every can idate heretofore in the rnnning, to elect two United States Senators in the per sons of J. 11. Millard, an Omaiia lawyer with a limited legislative experience, and Charles Henry Dieterieh, the pre sent Governor of the State. The appointments for the new Middle judicial district of Pennsylvania, and for marshal of the Western district, were announced by the President last Friday as follows: Robert W. Archbald, of Scranton, judge; S. J. M. McCarrell, of Harris burg, district attorney; Frederick C. Leonard of Condersport; marshal and for Western judicial district of Pennsylva nia, Frank M. Fuller, Union town. Gov. Stone's hurried visit to Washing ton was for the purpose of seeing that Mr. Fuller was appointed. Judge Aichbald is the president judge of the Lackawanna county court, who wrote the recent decision of that court lh the Scrantcn ripper case now pend ing before the State Supreme court. Mr. McCu Tell was formerly State Sen ator from Dauphin county. Mr Leon ard is at present marshal of the United States court for the Western district, and as his home is in the newly-created Middle district, his transfer to the same position in the new court is a natural one. On Monday it was reported from Union town that Mr. Fuller would not accept the office. Michigan went Republican, Monday, by 40,000. The State Supreme Court has made an order fixing Tuesday, the 2:jd, as the time for hearing arguments on the Rip per bill. HAItRISBUKG. One night last week George W. Guth rie and Attorney General Elkin bad a talk on the merits of Guthrie's primary eleetion law and the necessity for the circle at the head of the party ticket. Mr. Guthrie argued strenuously against the circle, but Mr. Elkin would not be convinced. He said the great majority of Republicans desire the circle, and that it was on the ticket to stay. The Attorney General, on the other hand, convinced Mr. Guthrie that the pro vision in his primary election bill re quire candidates for State office to be nominated by direct vote of the people was not good Mr. Guthrie, it is alleg el a - • • I to amend his bill in this re- E,> >'t. The Stalwart leaders who are bent upon defeating the main features of theGoffey bill, the elimination of the party circle and the adoption of a provision making it impossible to vote hordes under the guise of rendering assistance, are not as sanguine of suc cess as they would like to be. There was a balance of fire millions of dollars in the Stat;- Treasury, Mon day. The local option bill introduced by Representative Laird of Indiana failed to get a constitutional majority at its final vote in the House, Tn< -day, and did not become a law. T'.i • vote on it was 78 to 73: o-i memb s ■ >dgod roll call. Messrs Mates and • apson vot ed for the bill. WASHINGTON. On Saturday the President appointed Gen. Funston to be a Brigadier General in the regular army, as a reward for tlu* capture of Agninaldo. The War Department received word, Tuesday, that Agninaldo had taken the oath of allegiance to the United States. Pensions—Margaret Geible of Bntler, *6.00 per month: also Jacob Kruttle, Butler, $17.00 per month. The Necessity <>l Hypocrisy. It adds to the enjoyment of the in ternational situation, though it does no' indicate a keen sense of humor on th<- part of foreign military attaches stt Washington, to hear that the latter an shocked at the frank admission of the employment of spies by the United States, made in the army appropriation bill. They know, as does everyone else, that the employment of spies on military affairs is universal. Indeed, their in sistence upon the etiquette of concealing the fact may be due to a lurking convic tion that if a spade were called a spade the military attaches themselves might be put in that obnoxious category. The distinction brings up an old ; question of casuistry. Is it worse to be a hypocrite and pretend to be good when secretly bad than to be openly, frankly and defiantly bad? An em; nent moral philosopher, in discussing the matter with his classes, used to give his verdict in favor of the hypocrite The man who pretends, he said, pa\s the tribute to virtue of recognizing that he ought to l>e decent and trying f<> conceal the fact that he is not: wbfl»- the frank villain rejects even the pre tense. It must be upon such a theory that the foreign military attaches are shock ed that the United States army appro priation bill should say what it appro priates money for, instead of calling it bj - some other name Dispatch. Affairs in China. On Saturday the Alliremeine Zeitung ' of Vienna a newspaper which is in close tonch with the Austrian Foreign Office, published the following note. "England, Germany and Japan have I presented identical notes to Tttt*sia and | China, warning them that the signing of the Manchuria agreement will fn volve the partition of China. This combined action deters Russia from in sisting on the signature of the agree ment. "France, while declining to co-operate with England. Germany and Japan, has intimated to Russia that she would r« - gnrd tho conclusion of the Manchuria treaty as an unfriendly act." Leading Japanese newspapers assert that that the Russian Government lias replied to Japan's protest acainst the Manchuria convention to the affect that Russia does not wish to enter upon a discussion with a third Power relative to her negotiations with China; that the proposed agreement is purely tem porary and not intended to impair the sovereignty of China or to injure the interests of other Powers; that the con tents of the agreement, immediately upon its conclusion, will be communi cated to the other Powers, who will un doubtedly find them acceptable, and, finally, that if any of the provisions are not acceptable to Japan, Russia is pre pared to discuss the matter in a friendly spirit. Mill ion Township Items. Spring must be near at hand for the birds seems to be all here now and I see the farmers are laying in a stock of plow iwints. W. K. Snrrena lost a valuable hern last week. D. M. Atwell made a business trip through the north end of Marion last week, renewing fire insurance for the Worth Mutual. James Vandyke has sent in a petition to secure for this vicinity the rural mail delivery. Hurry them np.

Years ago in the uurthem part of the county there lived two men well up in years, called Jake and Jim by their neighbors and Jake hated Jim with an abiding hatred. And in the course of time an evangel - ist came through that section a.id his powerful sermons converted Jake con verted him so thoroughly that one even ing as he laid his hand on a neighbor's knee he told him of his conversion and said that the love of God was in his heart, that he loved all men and par ticularly all his neighbors, all of whom he hoped to meet in heaven. But the Devil was whispering in the neighbor's oar just then and told him to ask; "How about Jim and then again the Devil got inhiswork for Jake exploded with: "D Jim--." MOKAI. Beware of the Devil.

This is one of the Carnegie mills, and it became part of the Trust, Tuesday. Mrs. Guy E. Foltz and two children of Akron, 0., were poisoned a few days ago by eating sausage purchased in a local market. Lawrence Foltz, aged three years, is dead as a result and the mother and an elder child were in a critical condition It is claimed the sausage was fresh made, but scrap? from a butcher shop are said to bave been used in its manufacture. The coroner's investigation into the mysterious death of Mrs. Augusta Waibel, last Wednesday night at the Allegheny General hospital, develop* 1 the startling fact that the woman had not partaken of food for 35 days. WHEN the young men of Russia arrive at a certain age they are required to enlist in the army for fifteen years (the oldest son, and only sons alone ex cepted/, but after serving seven and a half years they receive a furlough, ex cepting in time of war. The names on the Russian army lists aggregate about thirteen millions, and that government is always in shape to put an army of two millions of men in the field. As all the European powers in China want a piece, the chances are that theie will be no peace there for some years. Clinton twp. Items. There was a social gathering at Mr. Westerman's.
