Meeting of the Legislature.
Harmony was the chief feature of the
meeting of the Pennsylvania legislature
at Harrisburg, this week, there being
no contests in sight for anything ex
cepting some of the minor appoint
ments.
The Republicans of the Senate held
their caucus, Monday night, when John
M. Scctt of Philadelphia was selected
for President pro. tem. without opposi
tion; the Republicans of the House,
also, met in caucus, and Henry F, Wal
ton of Philadelphia was selected for
Speaker without opposition: and J
Frank Graff of Armstrong Co. and Ed
ward James of Lackawanna county
were named for Secretaries. A Slate
Committee of one member from each of
the Congressional districts (old appor
tionment) was then selected, a resolu
tion providing for final adjournment,
April 16th was adopted and the caucus
adjourned.
Both houses met for organization,
Tuesday noon.
In the Senate, Mr. Scott, was elected
Pres. pro. tem, over the Democratic
nominee, Mr. Herbot, by a vote of 31 to
10; and in the House Mr. Walton was
electedJSpeaker, oyer Mr. Castner by a
vote of 157 to 46.
The desks of many of the members of
both houses were covered with flowers,
which were gathered up and taken to
the city Hospital, and some routine
business followed, included the reading
the Governor's Message, and the fixing
of April 16th as the date of final ad
journment
The Message was a remarkably short
one, and in it the Gov. states the finan
cial condition of the state, says the
labor riots cost the state more than a
million dollars, and strongly urges the
passage of a compulsory arbitration bill.
He attributes the financial condition
of the state treasury to the good work
W of the Attorney General and Auditor
General, in collecting amounts due the
state, and of the new Capitol speaks as
follows^
"The Capitol Building commission
authorized by the last Legislature will
lay before you the report of its progre»s
to date. The work of selecting an
architect, agreeing upon plans, adver
tising for bids and other preliminary
steps has advanced as rapidly as the
magnitude of the project would permit.
Every step has been fortified by the
best experience that could be secured.
A contract has been awarded to George
F. Payne & Co. for the construction of
the building for $3,505,656.
"This magnificent building will be
constructed out of the general revenues
of the State without borrowing a single
dollar or subjecting the' people to any
additional burdens whatever.' You can
rely upon the commission's statement
that it will be completed within the
ttjie specified and for the amount ap
propriated. and that the state will have
the best value obtainable for the money
spent."
Yesterday the legislature made the
formal count of the vote of the recent
state election, and then adjourned till
Monday the 19th; when they will again
assemble, and be present at the in
auguration of Gov. Pennypacker, the
next day, 20th—"the third Tuesday of
January" fixed by the Constitution as
the beginning of his four- years term.
At the joint Republican caucus, Tue
sday night, Boise Penrose was renomi
nated for U. S. Senator, without oppo
sition. The Democratic caucus honor
ed Col. Guffey of Pittsburg, with their
nomination.
An interesting contest has sprung up
over the appointment of Journal Clerk
for the House. Carl Shanor of Pros
pect, who held the place two years ago,
is an applicant and it is reported has
ihe support of Senator- Williams and
Senator Penrose, while Assemblymen
Hays and Douthett are said to favor of
James N. Moore. The contest will not
be decided until after the recess and
after the vote is taken on U. S. Senator.
WASHINGTON NOTES.
On Friday last the President ordered
the closing of the postoffice at lndianola,
the county seat of Sunflower county, in
northwest Mississippi. The postmis
tress, a colored woman who was origi
nally appointed by President narrieon,
and who has served for six years, refus
ed to serve any longer, on account of
being threatened with violence, and the
President refused to appoint another
postmaster, and ordered the office clos
ed.
The Senate and a large audience in
the galleries listened for four hours,
Tuesday, to Senator Hoar's speech on
the growing power of Combinations, and
in favor of his Anti-trust bill.
Origin of tlie Monroe Ooctrine.
So much misinformation about the
Monroe Doctrine exists that a brief
history of it is important at this time.
That doctrine is simply that European
nations must not acquire more territory
and extend their political institutions
in the Western Hemisphere. It grew
out of the Napoleonic wars and was
originally suggested .by Great Britain
We had waged our second war with
Great Britain as a result of the Con
tinental wars with Napoleon. Eng
land said that we ought to give our
moral support to the contest, and
thought our complaints of impress
ment of seamen of little account com
pared with the great issue, involved.
Napoleon, with his marvelous capacity
for deceit, maneuvered so as to appear
the friend of this country and throw on
Great Britain the onus of destroying
our commerce, though he was perhaps
the worst offender in this respect. In
settling that war and bringing about
peace George Canning, of the British
Ministry, was a prominent factor.
When Napoleon was sent to St.
Helena, Great Britain was satisfied, but
Spain was not. During the wars she
had lost all her American possessions
except Cuba and Porto Rico, and she
wanted to get them back, but was
handicapped by a revolution in the
Peninsula. At the Congress of Verona
the Holy Alliance was formed to es
tablish legitimacy in Europe and help
Spain get back her colonies. This did
not suit Great Britain, who was con
tent that whatever gains had been
made in the way of liberalism should
stand, but her power in the premises
seemed limited. When Canning was
was made Secretary of the Foreign
Office he communicated to our Minister
Rush the important news that if Presi
dent Monroe would take strong grounds
on the subject of the independence of
the South American republics he
would receive the moral support of
Great Britain.
The few sentences which announced
the famous Doctrine were originally
written by John Quincy Adams, Sec
retary of State and with alight amend
ments were placed in Monroe's message.
The result was that the Holy Alliance
gave up its plans so far as this hemi
sphere was concerned. As Great Britain
had borne the brunt of the Napoleonic
wars, It was useless to start a war with
her and this country against the doc
trines of liberal government, Canning's
hint to this country came most oppor
tunely. We had at that time recognized
most of the Southern republics, but close
investigation showed that they mere
oligarchies, as most of them have re
mained to this day. Nevertheless we
could not see them disturbed with com
posure, but to defy the whole of Europe
was a task that made Monroe hesitate.
We had just escaped from the war of
1812, where we made a rather poor
showing against a small portion of the
British army, though in a few battles
we had shown that American soldiers
could defeat Wellington's veterans.
Nevertheless there was no desire for an
other war, and the moral aid of Great
Britain tendered by Canning was as
grateful as it was unexpected It
settled the question of the hour, and al
though Great Britain has often said
that it was a purely temporary affair
which covered only the particular sit
uation of the time, and though other
foreign nations have protested against
it and France once defied it, the
Doctrine has been maintained in its in
tegrity up to this time. It is unfor
tuate that the Southern republics for
whom we risked so much have
shown little appreciation of our effort
on their behalf. There is not a re
public south of us worthy the name.
Dictators or oligarchs rule the nations
in the interest of private greed, and we
have not only received little of the
trade of those countries, but are gen
erally disliked by them.
The Monroe Doctrine is simply that
of America for Americans, barring
those foreign settlements which were
in existence at the time the Doctrine
was announced. It does not effect
Canada or the Guianas, but it does
mean that foreign governments are not
to extend their territory or political in
stitutions here. And that is all that it
does mean. It has no reference to the
collecting of debts or .wars waged on
just considerations. —Philadelphia In

Court House Changes.
Quite a number of our people as
senibled in the Prothonotary's office,
last Monday morning, and when Mr.
Galbreath put in an appearance the
crowd had grown so large that it was
deemed best to go to the Court room,
where he took the oath of office and re
ceived the congratulations of his friends
Earlier in the morning Register and
Recorder John P. Davis, Sheriff Martin
L. Gibson. Prothonotary Clark, and
Commissioners McClung, Patterson and
McCandless had been sworn in. Treas
urer W. S. Dixon took the oath ten days
before entering on the duties of his of
fice, making him the first to be obli
gated.
Judge Galbreath will use as his
chamber the room in the extreme south
east corner of the Court House, in rear
of the former Judge's chamber. The
room has a southern and eastern ex
posure and will make a pleasant office.
The Bar Association has suggested that
the old chambers be fitted up for the
Bar library, the present room north of
the Court room, being entirely inade
quate and unsuitable. No appointments
of Court Crier, Tipstaves, Stenographer,
etc., have yet been made.
County Commissioners McClung, Pat
terson and McCandless have agreed on
the following appointments:
Clerk—Josiah Kiskaddon, succeeding
himself.
Janitor—Eli McPherson of Institute
Hill.
Counsel—Everett L. Ralston, his ap
pointment being a compromise after a
deadlock on H. H. Goucher suggested
by Mr. McClung and P. W. Lowry. sug
gested by Mr. Patterson. There were a
dozen applicants.
Superintendent and Matron of Poor
Farm, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Graham,
succeed themselves.
Jail Physician -Dr. Leslie R. Hazlett.
Cougty Home Physician—Dr. A. M.
Neyman. .
County Treasurer Dixon retains lohn
Rankin, son of D. L. Rankin, the retir
ing treasurer, as assistant.
Prothonotarv John C. Clark has had
J. Mylert McCollough, the retiring
prothonotary, and Hugh E. Stewart of
North Washington, sworn in as deputy
prothonotaries-
Sheriff Gibson receipted Sheriff Hoon
for the bodies of Robt. Fay, Jas. Mc-
Grady, Robt. McClelland, Harry
Martin, J. W. Smith, Francis Marshall,
George Lonitz, W. S. Spence, R. J.

Houck and Amy Houck, twelve prison
ers, and the jail fixtures.
A. M. Christley. Esq., was appointed
attorney for the Sheriff, and Rainey

Register and Recorder J. P. Davis
was sworn in by retiring Prothonotary
McCollough. His deputies are Ezra I.
Brugh, George E Thomas, Lulu B.
Davis and Minnie M. Allen, daughters
of the Recorder.
Each of the County Commissioners
was required to file a bond in S4OOO
with two sureties for the faithful per
formance of his duties. That of Regis
ter and Recorder Davis was $28,800, of
Sheriff Gibson $-25,000 bond and $25,000
recognizance; of Treasurer Dixon $12,000
to the State and $50,000 to the county:
of Prothonotary Clark $20,000.
The new county auditors were sworn
in in the afternoon and organized for
business. They are Howard C. Hazlett.
G. S. Husselton and W. C. Dietrick.
Ex-Sheriff Hoon has moved into part
of his house on Miffiia street,
(the old Long house) the rest of which
is occupied by his son-in-law, Dr. Was
son. The last year of Sheriff Hoon's
term—owing to the Biddle and Bennett
affairs—was probably the most exciting
of any in the history of the county.
Ex-Treasurer Rankin and ex-Register
and Recorder Adams have homes in
Butler.
Commissioner Greer McCandless will
board with his son, who lives on Ziegler
Ave. near Centre; Commissioner Robt.
McClung lives on the hill at the head of
Centre Ave , near enough to walk to
town; and Commissioner Patterson liyes
out that road, near enough town to ride
or drive to it daily, so that the three
County Commissioners now come to the
Coyurt House every morning by way of
Centre Ave. or the old Freeport pike.
Prothonotary Clark will not move his
family to town till Spring, and is at
present, boarding at the "Park."
