Harrlsburg, Feb. 5. —With tlfis week will begin the steady flow of bills from the legislative mill to the governor. Although there have been over 300 bills introduced Into the legislature up to date there has been but one to reach the executive, and that is of minor Importance. It relates to the method of -electing members of boards of direc tors in corporations. The bill permit ting an increase in the capitalization ' of corporations, which was primarily introduced as an enabling act for the I'ennsylvania Railroad company, has been passed and will no doubt be ap ».roved by the governor indue time, it will allow an increase of 1100,000,000 in the capital stock of this corporation end the money will be spent upon im provements in the road bed, increasing tae rolling stock, and building bridges. As Pennsylvania industries will be called upon to furnish nearly all the material used in these operations, the benefit to the state is apparent. There were but 14 votes in the entire legisla ture against the bill. OLD COMBINE BROKEN. There , were several test votes in the house of representatives which tend to show that the insurgent movement which William Flinn, of Pittsburg, and David Martin, of Philadelphia, organ ized for the United States senatorial contest has practically gone to pieces. The Democrats have refused to long er follow the lead of Flinn, and they have been voting in the most indepen dent manner on matters of legislation, much to the discomfiture and disgust of Mr. Flinn. He bad hoped to line the Democrats up as he had them last session, under his partisan lash, and have them oppose everything that the regular Republicans advocated. The fact is that Democratic members of the senate and the house have legislation in which their constituents are inter ested, and they do not propose to be caught In a trap picking Mr. Flinn's chestnuts out of the fire. They see that the regular Republicans have a majority in each branch of the legisla ture, and that if they are to be of any service to their constituents they must co-operate with the regulars on mat ters in which their party's interests are not involved. Flinn would like them to back him up, but he finds that his Democratic following is growing small er every day. Nineteen Democrats voted with the regular Republicans in support of the bill providing for a new court for Phil adelphia, and there were several mem bers of the house who had acted with the insurgents who did the same thing. The Insurgents see their forces frit tering away, and with their former Democratic allies divided they are in no position to accomplish anything of importance. FLINN UPON HIS KNEES. Just at this time Flinn is on his knees asking mercy from the stalwarts. He does not want them to pass what is known as the "ripper" bill. This measure gives cities of the second class, including Pittsburg, Allegheny and Scranton, reform charter legisla tion. In order that the people of these cities may have an opportunity to elect new mayors without the interference of the present officials, it is proposed that there shall be vested in the gov ernor power to name temporary suc cessors to the present mayors, if that shall be deemed desirable. He can re appoint any or all of them if he sees fit. WHAT FLINN FEARS. It is the danger of his losing control of the patronage of Pittsburg that is a giving Mr. Flinn so much concern, c There has been a demand for years a from the people of Pittsburg to be re- a lleved of the domination of the Flinn c machine. They have been unable to | overthrow his bosslsm on account of the army of officeholders he has been able to command to back his candi dates at the various elections. With a new mayor in office who will not permit Flinn to issue orders to his subordinates there would be a chance for the Republicans of Pittsburg to elect a candidate for mayor of their own choice, and this Is what is keep ing Flinn on the go at this time. There will be a hearing tomorrow of representatives from the three cities, who will be here to give their views on the proposed legislation. There will undoubtedly be a number of changes in the bill now In committee of the senate, but the stalwart Republicans nay they will, after the bill shall be amended, put It through both the sen ate and the house and give Flinn the most exciting "reform campaign" he ever encountered in his political ca reer. POLITICAL HYPOCRISY. A bill which la going through the legislature without attracting much attention la that which was introduced by Representative Hoy, of Clarion. It is Identical with the old McCarrnll bill (hat raised such a row in the last leg islature. It was then opposed by the Insurgents and some Democrats be cause they believed It might be used to help Col. Quay In his caae before the Philadelphia courts, which was the i outcome of the political conspiracy | hatched up by certain parties In the , Quaker City and Allegheny. Col. Quay i did not require the legislation contem plated In thla bill for reforming the Jury iriten. so as to restrict the pow- , era of the district attorney In netting I •"Ma ivMra. With hla political op- WMM Wf ■ everytfclu tfcelr ewn wty. Col. Quay waa triumphantly ac quitted, and now that they have no political purpose to serve, the insur gents and their Democratic allies ar« voting for the bill and reversing them selves on every ballot. OF INTEREST TO LOAN ASSOCIA TIONS. A bill which is of interest to every holder of stock In a building and loan association or mutual savings fund has been Introduced In the house of repre sentatives by Representative McGlath ery, of Montgomery county. This bill provides that where there are moneys in the treasury of a building and loan association or mutual savings fund uncalled for by stockholders for more than 60 days it shall be lawful for the directors to loan money to others than shareholders upon mortgages or col lateral securities, or to invest the money In bonds, stocks or other se curities for the best interest of stock holders. It is likely that this bill will be made the subject of considerable discussion, and that many delegations will desire to be heard by the commit tee to which it has been committed before it shall become a law.
