WASHINGTON NOTES.
The House of Representatives spent
the greater part of last week digging
canals across Panama and Nicaraugua,
and on Thursday the House passed the
bill authorizing the construction of the
caual across the isthmus at Nicaraugua
by an almost unanimous vote, but it
was supposed that the Senate would fa
vor the Panama route, provided its
French owners came down iu their fig
ures.
Rep. Showalter introduced in the
House a bill granting extra pay to offi
cers and enlisted men of the volunteer
service who in 189$) were assigned ser
vice in the Philippines. Two months'
extra pay is provided for those who
went to the islands and one month's
pay for those who were mustered out
before their regiments sailed.
On Monday the House of Representa
tives spent the day in general discussion
of the pension appropriation bill, the
first of the annual budgets. The bill is
the first since the Civil War to show a
reduction over the previous year. The
decrease is about $5,300,000.
The pension appropriation bill intro
duced for next year's pensions carries
$188,846,480.

POLITICAL,.
United States senators were elected
Tuesday, in three states—Ohio, Mary
land and Kentucky. In the Buckeye
state. Joseph B Foraker, Republican,
was elected to succeed himself; in the
Blue Grass state. James B McCreary,
Democrat, was elected to succeed Will
iam J Deboe, the present Republican
senator: in MaryTand. Arthur Pue Gor
man, Democrat, has been elected to suc
ceed George L. Wellington, Republican
Mr. Gorman re-enters the senate after
four years' absence.
AJ the meatin? to bf» held in Pitts
burg, Saturday, of the Congressional
sammitteasof Butler and Westmoreland
souuties, it is said that the latter will
asist that each cauuty ba given a dele
gate to the Congressional Convention
for each 3000 Republican voters, and al
though Butler county is much the
smaller of the two we think its Republi
jans would prefer the popular vote of
the district.
At a meeting held in Pittsburg, Tues
day, another unsuccessful effort was
made by representatives of Washington,
Beaver and, Lawrence counties to arrive
at some agreement on the method to be
employed in nominating a Republican
candidate for Congress in the Twenty
fourth district. All the Republican
candidates were there. Washington
county held out for the popular vote
system. Lawrence county wanted a
modified conferee system. Washington
said it would never agree to anything
but popular vote, and Lawrence said it
would never ccncede to the demands of
Washington. Beaver presented the
conferee system of an equal number of
representatives from each county. The
meeting finally adjourned with a possible
compromise in sight.
Lawrence suggests that it will accept
a modified popular vote system by which
the .larger county will not have too
great an advantage. The plan is to
divide each county into 15 districts, as
compact and equal in size as possible,
the divisions to be made by the respec
tive county committees The voters
will then designate by popular vote
their first, second and third choice for
Congress, and the candidate receiving
a majority of the votes for first choice
is to be the nominee.
As Mayor of Greater New York. Seth
Low will decline to hold stock in any
concern which has dealings with the
city government in the remotest way.
It was learned on Tuesday that he
had disposed of over a million dollars'
worth of securities in various financial
and other institutions which might
seek or desire to be city depositories.
Many of these stocks be has had for
years, and criticism of him on account
of these holdings would not be easy,
but to absolutely free himself from
the least obligation he has made a
clean sweep. The stocks and bonds he
has disposed of are of a gilt-edge order.
Many of them were inherited from his
father, and had stood in the family
from the time the companies were or
ganized. They cannot be duplicated
as income producers, it is said.
FIRST cousins may not enter into a
legal marriage contract in Pennsyl
vania. The new law providing against
marriage within this degree of conssn
guinitv wenj into effect a few days ago.
This, however, will by no means pre
vent cousins from marryintr, if they so
dispose. By having the ceremony per
formed in a State where no such legal
objection exists, the marriage will be
valid. It is provided by the United
States Constitution that no State shall
enact laws which will abrogate tha laws
of another State. Thus the provisions
can apjilv only to marriages which may
be celebrated in Pennsjlvania—not to
citizens of the State who marry under
other jurisdictions.

That is about eight times as many peo
ple as live in the United States, or
more than are in America and Europe
combined. Not, less remarkable is the
fact that during all that time there
was but one interruption to the traffic
—that of last July, when a break put
an end to travel for about thirty-six
hours.
As to Borougli Affairs.
ED. CITIZEN—AS our Town Council
is asking us to vote them $57,444 32, or
two per cent, additional on an assessed
valuation of nearly three millions, it be
comes pertinent for the citizens of the
' town to inquire as to the expenditure of
previous appropriations, the debt of, the
general receipts, and the fixed charges
against the town: also the general man
agement of the town's affairs.
Some of the late expenditures have
seemed ridiculous. For instance, late
last fall the Council built a ten-foot cul
vert across E. Fulton St.. while for
the same water, where it crosses Bluff
St. they had shortly before repaired a
three-foot culvert, which had partially
been washed out by a flood: and that
water continues to enter the big end of
a funnel. On Mercer St. a good bridge,
with a span of 16 to 20 feet, has been all
summer and is now obstructed by a slab
fence, which occupies more than half
the channel.
Some of the fixed charges - notably
that for the lighting of our streets
are exorbitant.
Another thing, the Council has not
been enforcing its own ordinances —
notably those for the opening of streets,
and thereby laying the town liable to
suits for damages.
Nobody is kicking about progress and
improvement, but something seems to
be wrong, and if it can be bettered by a
change in the personal of the Council,
now is the time to consider the matter.
Both parties should hold suggestion
meetings or conferences in each ward of
the town on Saturday evening of this
week, and both will hold primary elec
tions on Satnrday of next week, from 1
to 7 p.m., at the usual polling paces
Few of us, outside of the Council, are
as well posted on the borough's affairs
as we should be, aud now is the time to
investigate

Ticket Scalpers Unwisely I>e
feuded.
The action of the convention of the
Federation of Labor atScranton in adopt
ing a resolution pledging the Federa
tion to do everything possible to prevent
the passage through Congress of an
anti-scalping bill was not a very credit
able performance. There was vigor
orous opposition to the resolution, one
of the delegates telling of a case where
forty-five thousand tickets had been
forged on one railroad and sold by
scalpers. < )nly a few days ago a ticket
scalper in Washington sold to a stranger
a ticket on the Baltimore and Ohio Rail
road and took the man's last dollar for
the ticket, but when the man presented
the ticket to go on the train it was
promptly taken np as illegitimate
The ticket scalper refused to refund the
money, and the man was unable to get
home.
That is only one of many similar cases
, reported almost every day. The ticket
j the scalper sold was a non transferable
ticket and had been issued to a person
whose name was written on the ticket.
But the unsuspecting man who pur
chased the ticket was informed that the
conditions printed on the ticket were of
no account, though the man s> JU found
to the contrary. And yet that is the
kind of business the Federation of Lalior
pledges itself to sustain. —Editorial in
