Quay to the United Slates •senate the decks have been cleared for contests here over legislation this win ter. It promlsss to be a most Interest ing session of the general assembly of Pennsylvania on account of the muny measures which will be intro duced to carry out the various prom ised for reform made by the Republi can organization. The stalwart Re publicans propose to take the initia tive and to be responsible for the PUBS ;igc of the bills they will introduce. Senator William Flinn, the Insur gent leader of Pittsburg, has intro duced a bill In the state senate to change the ballot laws, but he will not be allowed to figure in the light of a reformer for the advancement of schemes which he may have in contem plation in his home county. STALWARTS ARE AGGRESSIVE. The stalwart leaders will have one of i heir number introduce the real bal lot reform bill, and it will meet every requirement of the most radical of the reform element. There was introduced in the senate last week by Senator Sproul, of Dela ware county, a bill Indorsing the ship subsidy bill now before congress as a measure the adoption of which will be to the interests of the workingmen and the industrial interests of Pennsylva nia that will be called upon in the event of the passage of the subsidy bill to h.>lp construct vessels for the mer chant marine which will be benefited by the proposed legislation at Wash ington. Senator Sproul's resolution calls upon the Republican members of congress to vote for the ship subsidy bill. It v.as passed In the senate and will ?o through the house this week, despite opposition from the Democrats. There wns introduced in the senate by Senator Scott, of Philadelphia, a starn h supporter of Col. Quay, a re form measure which is of special inter est to Philadelphians. This bill will save the city of Philadelphia over s7,"i.i DO a year. It. Is intended to abol ish the present fee system in the of fices of city treasurer and register of wills. This bill was introduced at the suggestion of Mayor Ashbridge, at whose instigation the Republican con ventions In Philadelphia, prior to the last election, went on record In favor of this reform. While the insurgent newspapers Insisted that the stalwart Republicans never intended to carry this reform Into effect, the friends of Col. Quay have taken this, their first opportunity, to introduce the bill abol ishing the fees, and they will see to it Mint It Is promptly passed. Governor Stone has promised to sign the bill as soon as It shall be preßCuted to him. A bill has been Introduced In the senate which was drafted with the view of giving the Pennsylvania Rail road company the privilege of Increas ing its capital in order to carry out the plans which President Cassatt has in view for the enlargement of its plant in this state and the extension •>f its lines In different parts of the country. This bill will enable the railroad company to increase lis capital stock from 1151,000,000 to $200,000,000, and will thus ktrengthen the greatest railroad corporation in the world. Governor Stone's recommendation that a deficiency bill he passed to per mit of the payment to the public schools of the full ft 1,000.000 appro priation will undoubtedly be adopted v.Hhout delay. Ti estate administration will also tirgi the prompt passage of bills In icru'ed to make restrictions against the sab of oleomargarine more effective. I'lit oleo trust will tight these meas ure . and there Is a prospect of a blt ii'i struggle over the bills. Governor r-'t « i :; e is determined to press for the !>'i> age of these measures, and he will tak" a personal Interest in this contest in avor of the dairy and butter lu iwn it of the commonwealth. TO GIVE FLINN REFORM, i lie proposed reform legislation for I'itißburg will command consideration from the leaders of all parties and fac tious. Fltun will make a desperate light to prevent any interference with hi)- control of the olliclal patronage and the letting ot contracts lu Allegheny county. He will fight to the last all iitlumpts to overthrow the present ring ondlt inns lu Pittsburg, which liusl ucis men and manufacturers and oth i i have so long sought to turu down. il» Is already drllllug the Democrats' ii.e to help defeat the plans of those who will push the reform legislation for Pittsburg In order to keep liemo tiats In dread of the criticism of the i isurgeut newspapers, which are used io greatest offset. Flinn and his lieiu i > ratlc allies have wlthlu the last w sek worked thei>e newspapers at a ursnt rate They secured the adoption of a resolution condemning thoas D«ui i erats who refused to vote for Kliuu s k*l»4U*i» Xvi sbttaket ut Ut« Uuu>«. ! and who, wttn two Republicans lo 1 choose from, selected the stalwart Re ' publican as more entitled to their | votes. ' Flinn and the Democratic coterie ! that take orders, from him had a set ;of scathing resolutions adopted. In ! which these independent thinking Democrats were made to appear to be i traitors to their party for bolting |KM inn'p candidate for speaker of the house. These honorable and manly Democrats have, however, not been In timidated by the Flinn blackjack style of political campaigning, but they are more determined than that the Flinn Democratic comblna ! tlon shall not own them In the coming j contests over legislation, and they will j act and vote as they see fit. regardless | or orders from Flinn. Guffey or any j one else under the Flinn domination. THE PEOPLE TO RULE. To block the schemes of millionaires to buy United States senatorships in Pennsylvania Senator Quail, of Schuyl kill. a Quay supporter, introduced a bill calling for the election of United States senators by a vote of the peo ple. This proposition, at Col. Quay's suggestion, was putin the platform of the last Republican state convention. lu the Court oi Common Pleas of Sulli van Comity. Win. 15. Foster] vs llattic Foster."
