ThurHtlay, April 1, 185)."). Letter from Harrisburg. Continued from last feck.) Habbibiiuho, Pa., Mar. '27, IMS. Editor Tost : The Greater Pittfbury Hill. Senator Flinn's Greater Pittsburg bill is now under fire in the House. A deh-Katiou of at least a hundred in opposition to the bill appeared before the municipal corporation committee last week and through their spokesman hurled some very hot shells against the proposition. One of the speakers charged the bosses of Pittsburg with selling franchises and pocketing the money. A number of other thing were said that were not very complimentary and if half of what was said is true Pittsburg is not behind some other cities in its management of munici pal affairs. Senator Fliun, Chris. L. Mngeo Hinl City Solicitor More hind, of Pittsburg, were present luring the entire meeting. They paid the closest attention to what whs said, and although several re ferences were made to them that are not generally regarded as com pliments, yet they showed no signs of uucawinoHs. Mr. Magne even ap plauded ono of the speakers as ho at down. The delegation was com posed of representative men and spoke for the twenty-five districts that do not desire to become a part of tho Great Western City. Repre sentative Tilbrook of McKeesport, Allegheny Co, had tho anti-auuexa- tionists in charge. At present it looks as though these cities and vil lages would not bo compelled to go into this proposed Great City. The annexationists will havo their inn ings before the same committee this week. They put up a brave fight be fore the Seuato committee and it is t iiio, vtiHonahle to .believ " ' " - not go down without hero s tjft'ort. Vce Scholarships. Dr. Athorton, president of the State College, is very anxious to have a bill passed giving that institution ii number of free scholarships. Tho moiey required to pay for these scholarships is to he taken out of the money appropriated for the common schools. That feature is not popular with a great many members since it is desirable that all moneys appropriat ely tho public schools should be applied to them. Counties, of course would not be obliged to avail themselves of their scholarships and if none were as signed the county would lose no money given for common school purposes. The State Collego has mado rapid strides under Dr. Atherton's super vision during the last five years. The Silver Issue. Senator Cameron's views on the silver question are to be given in the House of Representatives by Chas. Heler Clark, of Philadelphia on Tuesday evening of this week. The money question is attracting a great deal of attention. It is stud ied by thousands now when only sev eral years ago its discussion was eon- fined to bankers, political econo mists. Many of our intelligent citizens in all walks of life are look ing into the question and have opinions to express. Itissafe topre sume that if the unsettled conditions of things continues the nest Na tional political battle will be fought not solely on the principle of trade but largely on the principles that are involved in our circulating modi u us. A great many people are experienc iug a condition the cause, of which they want explained. Ten or fifteen years ago they bought property worth $ 10,000 or S-JO.tMH) and still owe half on it. His property has depreciated in value. He hasn't got the number of dollars now that ho had twenty yearB ago to pay oil' this indedtness, and in order to get a dollar ho must produco about twice as much as formerly. I don't propose to discuss the money problem. It is sufiicieut to know that thisquestion is forging to the front and the great parties are bound to meet it if they desire to keepia touch with tho people. Here the matter is much discussed ami you nm iiilv toll thnt thi niittco sin it cn:)a out with n nc(j principle of a (loiblrt sUu.lwil hi n'ivn nc, mi hou.Ih! i n. Mr. Am iniiiiy a llii rcnti.

Her man spent several days at the Cap ital last week. They think legisla tion is somewhat tedious but were much pleased with the surroundings and the manner of doing things generally. Prof. Gobble, of New Berlin, was among tho college presidents who came here to look after a bill regu lating the granting of degrees of colleges. The bill discriminates somewhat against the smaller institutions but is not retroactive and will not do much injury to those now in exis tence. v mu. The writer introduced a bill regu lating the salvage on logs and lum ber, etc. The bill will get a place way back on the calendar and it will require u special order to have it reached if we succeed in getting it out of the committee. No effort will bo spareil to pass the bill. It is one which affects many citizens all along our pictur esque Susquehanna. C. V. H. llAiiuisiitRo, Pa., Apr. 1, 1W5. Editor Post : Lest your compositors might be come mutinous on this "All Fools' Day''; not particularly on account of tho day, but morn likely bocause ' of the length and prosy character of these letters, I'll promise for tho sake of your security and happiness t bo more brief and considerate to tho feeling of tho several graceful imps that adorn your sanctum. Frequently, mutterings of riot and rebellion from those hard-worked creat ures havo come to mj oars and much as I would like to have a whole side of your progressive paper, I will bo satisfied with mich 13 -h space. J'oor Jouse JIM Defeated. For tho second time this bill was defeated by a larcer vote than that which sounded its death knell tho first time. Earnest soueohes were WiiA&2&7Viie8,Tocn,c, i'a'Uflou aad your correspondent agaiust the measure, while Gould Baldwin and others defended it. To my know lege, no representative from any couuty not having a poor house sup ported this bill; and many of those representing counties that have poor houses on a different plan than is provided for iu this bill also zeal ously opposed it. Tlio defeat of this measure will not prevent coun ties from providing poor houses for maintaining dependents since the act of 1h"4 provides that the quali fied voters of each county may de cide this question for themselves. The AY Conutij. The opposition to the proposed Quay County resorted to filibuster ing methods during a full half day in order to defeat it. Jeffreys, the member from that section of Lu zerne county which is to form part of the proposed couuty, championed the bill The five other members of that county and the six members from Schuylkill, which county would also lose a part of its terri tory if the bill should become a law, are solidly arrayed against it. Mr. Schrink, ably assisted by Stuck led the filibustering tactics by offering numerous amendments to the dif ferent sections of the bill calling for the yeas and nays on the adoption of every proposed amendment, call ing for the reading of the yeas and nays, moving to postpone the con sideration of the bill, moving to ad journ, and numerous other maneuv ers tending to kill time. After having successfully carried the fight to the hour of adjournment, upon reassembling they agreed to desist irom their niUDustering but gave notice that they would contest every inch of the progress of the bill It passed finally on second reading by a small margin. Some of the leaders must show an open huud if the bill is to pass third reading, and then it is a question bocause the eleven members from that section, if they choose to unite may make rough sledding for some other fellows' pet measures. It is generally supposed that the bill will fail. Jlailroad Jjeyislation, Representative Andrews of Craw ford county has blood in his eyes.

A bill, fixing the salary of the district Attorneys, was defeated ou second reading as it deserved to be. Under its provisions all counties would be obliged to pay If 500 a year and $100 in addition to r00 of a popu lation over 10,000, a solary in many cases quite princely. Greater J'ittsburff The advocates of a city of mon strous proportions in the western part of this State presented their reasons for their faith and belief to the House and more especially to the committee on Municipal Cor porations. The fate of this proposi tion hangs in the balance. The Judicial Apportionment Bill. This bill passed third reading in the House after several attempts to amend it. Your correspondent en deavored to knock ono of the dis tricts out by proposing to annex Montour county to Union and Snyder and Columbia to tho Sul livan and Wyoming districts. The proposition failed not from merit, it seems to the writer, but because somebody must bo taken care of. ('lose Season for Jh tr.

As fur as I can determine the opinion of tho members, I believe that the bill will ptss. The onslaught if any is to bo made, can best bo dirooto 1 against it in tho Senate. Lo;i and Lumber Hill. A numerously signed petition praying for the passage of this bill, was duely recoi ved anil submitted. No effort will be spared to pass this bill but we regret that tho ses sion is advanced rather far to spaik with the sume confidence as if tho ses sion had just commenced. - iie nm: -- ' By the time this is in print this bill will likoly bo disposed of.
