THE EXTRA SESSION.
Senator Knox and Gov. Pennypacker
have had their beads together of late
and, apparently, without consulting
Senator Penrose have agreed npon an
extra session of the Legislature as the
proper panacea for the ills of the State.
•The Governor in his proclamation
issued last Saturday, enumerates seven
subjects for consideration i>y
lature, i e : the consolidation of cities
the interest on and disposition of the
the state's moneys; re apportionment of
the state into Representative and Sena
torial districts; i>erßonal registration;
government of cities of the first class
expenditure for county bridges, and
abolishing the fee system in the offices
of the Secretary of the Commonwealth
and Insurance Commissioner
These seven subjects, and they alone,
can be considered at the coming extra
session. The first subject means the
pjweage of an act to consolidate Pitts
burg and Allegheny, this act to taki
place of the one that was declareu un
■■constitutional by the Supreme Court
the second is needed, the wrecking ol
the Enterprise bank showed that; tbt
third, the reapportionment of the state
will probably make no difference tc
this county, as we will continue to hav<
two members in the Legislature, but ii
will make a difference in Alleghenj
county whose increase in populatior
will entitle her to eight more members
or 24 in all, while several agricnltura
counties like Indiana, Clarion, Craw
ford, Huntingdon, etc. will lose one
Philadelphia, Luzerne and Lackawann;
counties will each gain two and West
moreland and two or three othei
counties one. The combined Alleghem
county and Philadelphia county dele
gations would number 6T>, an uncom
fortable bunch to go up against. Phila
delphia will have 41 members or mori
than one fifth of the whole, while it
Senatorial representation is limited b;
the Constitution to one-sixth. Th'
fourth Personal Registration —ha
been eat down upon by the gang a
Harrisburg for years.
The fifth is supposed to mean the re
peal of the Philadelphia ripper bil
which does not become effective nnti
next year. The sixth, regarding th.
prices paid for county (and presumabl:
state) bridges is needed, as the bridge
companies have combined and are mak
ing the counties and states pay fron
two to four prices for their bridges.
The seventh, to abolish fees in th<
two big State offices at Harrisburg ant
substitute salaries is also needed as th<
aggregates have become immense. Ar
object lesson in the fee or percenttge
system is found in the office of Delin
quent Tax Collector of Pittsburg,
whose percentages add up abonl
|60,000 a year.
This program as prepared by the
Governor is a large dish of Crow
for Mr. Penroee, who may not relish it,
and who with'his adherents may put up
a fight on it.
The Governor is said to be consider,
ing a supplementary proclamation
which, if correct, should include the
press-muzzier act, now a dead letter on
the statute books; and the state con
stabulary act, which will put the
■tate to an entirely useless and extra ex
pense of about half a million yearly
both pet measures of his. The Govern
or is not blameless for last winter's
legislation ard he should include a
little "crow" for himself.
The legislature is to meet in the new
capitol at Harrißburg, on the third Mon
day of January next, the 15th, presum
ably with the same officers, clerks and
committees; the session will cost the
state the best part of a million dollars,
and it is to be hoped that enough of the
sins of the previous session will be ex
piated to make it worth that to the
people of the state.

What thin air the boodle politicians
vanish into when the people get after
them in earnest! A few weeks ago the
Penrose-Durham combine was the su
preme political power in Philadelphia
and in the state, and now they are the
next thins; to nothing in either.
And in this town some funny things
happened at the late election. One
notorious bocdler announced that he
wonld take "personal charge" of a
certain ward, in the interest of H cer

got nearly all the votes of both parties

Treaßurer-elect Berry has engaged
Homer L. Castle as special counsel.
The Pennsylvania shift impresses on
the Chicago Post the fact that though
"it will be tremendously hard work" it
is necessary "to picture Governor
Pennypacker in the role of reformer."
Perhaps it will not be quite so hard if
you remember that the role is really
that of ' 'reformer in spite of himself."
—Ex.
Bntler county cast 8,961 votes at the
late election. '
Plummer carried Armstrong county
by 158, and Crawford county by 275.
Westmoreland Co. cast 19,970 votes.
Berry carried Lawrence by 1559;
though the Republican County ticket
won out.
Beaver Co. went for Berry by 1,150,
and elected Holt, fusion candidate for
Judge over Martin by 978.
Pattison's plurality in Ohio over Her
rick is 41,705, and the Cox "machine"
in Cincinnati went to the dump with
the Penrose-Durham combine of Phila
delphia
Venango Co. gave Berry 1,184, and
elected Criswell by 382 over Glenn.
Berry carried Plummer s home coun
ty of Blair by 639, though it is usually
strongly Republican.
The official vote of Delaware county,
the home county of Treasurer-Elect
Berry, is: Plummer, 9,865; Berry, 9.821;
a plurality for Plummer of 44. Last
year Roosevelt had a plurality of 11,470,
In 1903 Mathues, for State Treasurer,
who is also a resident of Delaware Co.,
had a plurality of 9,096.
Chester county, official—Plummer,
7,586; Berrv, 10,587.
Edward D. Reilly (Dem.) will not ac
cept the office of County Commissioner
of Lancaster Co., to which he was elect
ed after one of the bitterest political
battles in the history of the county.
Reilly won over Eli Hess, the Lincoln
candidate. The reason advanced by
Mr. Reilly is that he cannot conscien
tiously take the oath of office,as he gave
Hess a note for SI,OOO, ostensibly to
coyer campaign expenses, to secure
Hess' withdrawal in the Democratic
convention, which assured Reilly's nom
ination. Hess never cashed this note,
the receipt of which he publicly ac
knowledged and it figured prominently
in the campaign. It is claimed that as
a consequence of Reilly's refusal the
court will reappoint J. Val Wise, pres-1
ent Democratic Commissioner.
The finding of mutilated ballot boxes
in the North river, in alleys and in the
dark corners of voting places in New
York confirms the suspicion that Tam
many was practicing its usual crooked
tricks at the late election. It is too
early to say whether these disclosures,
and a recount of the votes will place
Hearst in the mayoralty seat or leave
McClellan safe with a further reduction
of his slim plurality, but there is no
question that frauds were perpetrated
at the polls.
One feature in connection with the
proposed contest of the election for
Mayor in New York is worthy the study
of Pennsylvanians and particularly of
Pittsburgers When it appeared that
there was doubt as to the honesty of the
count there was agreement
outside of Tammany that the ballot
boxes should be placed in enstody at
once and a recount had at an early day.
Such lawyers as Jerome, Ivins and
Judge Gaynor approved this course; and
the imminent probability that it would
be done may have had its influence in
the bestowing of ballots in the river
and in alley ways. The reason for this
course is plain enough. The honesty of
elections ia so clearly the foundation of
republican government that anv doubt
casts a cloud on the title. Elections,
like Caesar's wife, should be above
suspicion. If it is worth while to spend
millions to hold elections it is certainly
worth while to take the extra time ta
provide a check on fraud by an easy ex
amination and recount. For this reason
intelligent opinion in New York is a
unit in demanding a reconnt on the
suspicion of frand.
To the few intimate friends who re
ceived election returns with him at the
White House. President Roosevelt did
not hesitate to express satisfaction with
the triumph of the reform element. He
was particularly gratified over the elec
tion of Jerome as District Attorney in
New York and the victory of Mayor !
Waaver and the city ticket in Phil»-
delphta It is said, also, that while
somewhat surprised over the way the
voting went generally in Ohio, he did
not shed any tears l>ecause of the defeat
of the Cox machine in Cincinnati, When
Secretary Taft made his famous Rpeeuh
at Akron, in which he declared that if
he were in Cincinnati on Election Day
he would vote against the local Repub
lican ticket, it is believed that bo echoed
the sentiments of his chief. The recent
utterances of the President on his
Southern trip made it clear that he had
no sympathy with the kind of bossism
that prevailed in Ohio.
Speaking of the contest between the
Flinn and Biglow factions the Pittsburg
Dispatch aays: In considering the local
ticket it must be said that the defeat of
the Citizens is deserved. Starting as a
reform party they made a record of
violated pledges from the first big test
and maintained that unfortunate record
on all the important franchises. While
they showed some improvement in the
administration of city and county of
fices this failed to compensate for their
bad faith with regard to the vital
pledges on which they first secured
public approval. The inevitable result
of this was to alienate public confidence
and prepare the way for the defeat they
have sustained
The result of Tuesday's election in
this state means several things. The
first is that party lines will not hold the
people when they are being robbed of
their cash and civil rights at the same
time. The second is that the Republi
can party must have a new leader, one
who will have a decent respect for the
right« of the led. Personal registration,
a ballot that does not compel the ma
jority to vote a straight ticket, and new
partv rules that will not prevent the
poor man from being a candidate are a
few of the things coming.—Freeport
Journal.
SOME Republicans of Philadelphia
sent Sec'y Root a significant dispatch.
It read: "The masquerade is over. The
criminal and corrupt combination has
been driven from power by the right
eous indignation of a gieat Republican
city. We have only begun. Our thanks
to you for your splendid aid."

HARVESTING CR^IBEftRIES.
ricking; and Storing the Bc»t Keep
er Among: Frnlt*.
The effect of time of harvesting cran
berries on yield was investigated at
tiie Wisconsin station. Harvesting in
Wisconsin usually begins the fore part
of September, no matter what the con
dition of the crop. In the test, berries
were picked Sept. S and 24 ami Oct. 8.
"The growth during the thirty days
showed an Increase in size of 10 per
cent, 10 to 11 per cent being realized
during tho first sixteen days and the
rest of the growth between Sept. 24
and Oct. 8. It will thus be seen that
almost 10 per cent clear profit on a
crop would have been realized coulif
tho picking have been deferred thirty
days."
iiraditttf the llerrie*.
After harvesting, cranberries are
graded according to size and quality.
The Wisconsin station describes a
very successful apparatus for this pur
pose. The berries are first poured In
the hopper of the machine, from which
they pass through a fan blower, which
takes out the chaff, etc. Then they fall
Into several bottomless V shaped
troughs. The opening in the bottom of
the troughs gradually widens with the
length of the troughs. The berries fall
through the troughs at different places,
according to size, into separate com
partments. From these compartmeuts
each grade of berries is carried over
a series of "jumpers," which grades
them according to firmness and quali
ty. These jumpers consist of a se
ries of steps. That this process of
jumping does injure the keeping quali
ty of the berries is shown by the fact
that tho berries "used for study at the
station always show the first signs of
decay on those spots bruised In going
over the jumpers."
Storage.
Kelative to store ;ie, the Wisconsin
investigations show that berries stored
In a wet condition do not keep well.
A sudden change in temperature from
a cold to a warm, moist atmosphere is
also Injurious to the keeping quality,
due to a deposit of moisture on the
berries, which not only affects their
physical condition, but permits of the
rapid growth of disease producing
fungi anil bacteria on the fruit. In
the season of 1903 berries picked early
In the season kept better than those
picked later. The poorer keeping
quality of the late picked berries In
this instance is thought to be due to
the wetness of the fall and the conse
quent greater exposure of the late
picked samples to moisture and cold
nights rather than to the extra ripe
ness of the berries. In 1904 the late
picked berriq* kept decidedly the best,
and this result seems to be In accord
with that of cranberry growers gen
erally. »
; Homcmmle Tier For Corn Shock.
j Any device to aid in the work of
i corn cutting time Is worth consider
i ing. An Ohio P'armer correspondent
sketches a homemade device for tying
■ shocks which he says he has used sev
eral years satisfactorily.
It consists of a block of wood (A)
IVl> by 2 by 9 Inches, through which is
f cut an oblong hole (B), entered from
the square end of the block by a flve-
COKN SHOCK TIER.
, eighths inch hole for the insertion 01
i the rope. The block has a tapered slot
t (C) sawed in the other end. The end of
the hole (R) is round and smooth next
' to the slot. The rope (D D) is half an
, Inch thick and as long as desired.
| When the rope is around the shock
with the cud passed through the hole
(B), the rounded end of the hole serv
-1 ins ns a pulley, the shock can be drawn
' light and the rope pressed snug in the
| slot. (' holds it till the band is on.
Trimmlne Vlnca and Tree*.
Much rain this summer has caused a
very large ami tender growth ot vines
and fruit trees. They may not be able
to endure much cold. Blackberries
should be topped so as to check growth,
harden canes to endure cold and stim
ulate fruit bearing. The same treat
ment is advisable for black cap rasp
berries where tips are not wanted to
grow plants; also prune the tip ends of
peach trees. I would not neglect this
trimming even should it cost $2 per
hour, concludes a Missouri correspond
ent in an exchange.
Clean ITp.
If there are any bushes, briers or
rank growing weeds along the fenees
in the meadows or by the roadside,
they should receive attention, thus add
ing much to the better condition and
good appearance of fields and roads.
PIGEON POINTS
The pigeon house must not only be
rat proof, but also damp proof.
The squab loft should have a south
and east front.
Overfeeding of buckwheat or henip
seed is apt to produce vertigo.
Never breed from imuaature stock.
Birds under six months of age cannot
give good results.
The successful squab raiser must be
a keen observer.
Never use straw or hay for nesting
material, as the hollow center becomes
an Incubator for vermin.
The sigQs of decay are sterility, care
less and insufficient feeding of the
young and the rearing of only one bir«l
in a nest.
To produce the largest sized young
the parents should be large, heavy aud
full breasted birds.—Farm Journal.
