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.

A Little Fable.
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--."

Oh. lather, tbv gentle voice is hashed.
Thy warm, "true heart is still.
And on thy pale and peaceful face
Is resting death's cold chill,
Thy hands are clasped upon thy brest
We have kissed thy lovely brow,
And in our aching hearts we know
We have no father now.
Farewell, dear father, sweet at rest.
Farewell, till in some happy place,
We shall behold thy face again.
Tis ours to miss tliee all our years,
And tender memories of thee keep.
Thine in the Lord to rest, for so
He gives His beloved sleep. C. N. B.
