Letter from Harrisburg.
Hakrisuuro, Pa., June 3, 1895.
Editor Post :
Tho end came at high noon on
Siturday last and the session of the
Legislature of 1805 lives only in the
past. I have no criticisms to make, -
that belongs to those who can view
the results from a standpoint dif
ferent from that which is taken by
those who have been the immediate
factors in determining its actions.
Legislation is never better than
the people demand. If this is a gov
ernment of the people by the people
and for tho people then the prin
ciples and policies formulated and
il jtermined by those to whom the
people have delegated authority to
a?t should be in every instance the
embodiment of the wishes of those
who entrust their rights and inter
ests to their representatives.
Tho people of Snyder county have
honored me perhaps more than I do
Bervo uud I would be most ungrate
ful if I should by word or action
manifest that I did not most pro
foundly appreciate the confidence
they have reposed in me.
In tho councils of the State it was
ray highest ambition to do the bid
ding of those who sent me. I have
liaverlost faith in tho people, my
c ui se is on record, of which I invite
t'ao most cartful scrutiny and the
unbiassed judgment of tho people
of tho eouuty. If I failed in tho dis
charge of any duty it was not be
ciuse of a dishonest motivoor tho
lack of an honest effort. Thecouuty
will not sutler from hardships im
pjsed upon it by my vote.
The school system remains as it is.
Tho burdens which were to be en
tailed by an imaginary ten months
H.'houl te rm did not comu us was so
kindly prophesied. I boast of no
superior virtues when I say that my
racord is the best proof of my faith
fulness to the people. I have never
known any other master than tho
will of tho majority fairly and
honestly expressed and I shall be
satisfied to submit to tho judgment
of an intelligent and patriotic con
stituency. I am prepared to give my reasons
for supporting or opposing measures
that were preseutcl for enact men t.
It will be impoiRible to give a re
funie of the work of the entiro ses
sion. The magnitude of the task
can be, in a measure at least, ap
proximated when it is known that
more than twelve hundred bills were
introduced in both branches of the
LfRiHliiture and perhaps half that
number passed. Aside from the
larKO number of bills presented them
were many accidental statesman
who were anxious to figure as great
men and the result was inevitably a
Kicnt deal of useless talk and a long
BPSHIOIl.
Tho principal bills passed finally
and which were the subjects of the
warmest debates, were tho Marshall
bill repealing tho pipe line law of
I nx., the compulsory education bill,
the religious garb bill, the Woods,
water works bill, the bill creating an
r ftppellulo court, the judicial appor
j tioumcnt bill and those foT the mak
Ning of a Greater Pittsburg, the
JJ" (Juay county bill, and the anti-pool
of bill. Among the important bills
" j defeated may bo named, the con
J grvHsional, senatorial and legislative
apportionment bills. The Smith
oJ bill which provided for tho distribu
",'t tion of the State school funds upon
Hs a new basis. The bill providing for
the establishment of a department
of chanties, tho Seauor meat bill,
which proposed to compel the char
itable institutions of the state to
purchase meat that had been slaught-
H ered in tho common wealth and none
other, the school book bill, for the
I purchase of school books at publish
yfr t rs' prices, the Brown road bill, tho
1 forestry bill which was discussed in
(ui these columns nt the time it was
rl pending, the bills prohibiting the
killing of deer for livo years, an act
making the uniform railroad fare 2
cents per mile, tho eel basket bill,
the judges' pension bill. etc.
A vast amount of other legislation
comprising hundreds of bills fell by
the wayside but in the main they
were only of minor importance.
In another article I may give the
most important measures that are
before tho Governor but have not
yet been signed. O. W. H.
To Correspondents.
On Monday morniug we received
a letter unsigned and undated.
The letter purports to come from an
old soldier and criticizes the Salem
Sunday School and Congregation
for not turning out on Memorial
if. Never 'ask an Luir to father
any article to which you M6 afraid
or at least unwilling to sign your
name. A letter reached ns"" last
week from Doodletown. The writer
failed to sign his name and of
course it is contrary to our rule to
print articles unless accompanied
by the real name and address of the
writer.
A letter reached us week before
last from Cammal, Pa., to which the
writer signed his name, but the
matter was unfit for a first class fam
ily newspaper and if published
would have made both the writer
and the publisher liable to arrest
for libel.
It seems afflictions never come
singly. Our ink is scarcely dry
when a letter cornea from an itiner
ant preacher who, in a dictorial way,
tells us how to run the Middleburgh
Post. We think he is entirely too
fresh to continue very much longer
in a Snyder County pulpit.

One day last week Oliver Rice shot
a very strange animal. Even th
oldest citizens are without a know
ledge of its kind.. i It has iu time
been named, beaver, lynx, marmot
and wolverines but their conjecluii
seem to be alike erroneous. However
it is of the marsunial familv. It is
about fifteen inches in length, six
inches high, has short ears, bushv
tail, teeth like a squirrel, but pro
nortionatelv lamer, naws well mul.
ded and armed with sharp claws.
Its chief peculiarity, however, lies in
its fur. I ho hairs of which nro a
coarse gray, arranged in tufts, re
sembling the bristles of it brush.
hen first seen it was bathing in a
spring. Upon being approached, il
merely climbed out of tho water nn 1
snarled making no part icular elV.n t
to escape. Rice could have captur
ed it alive but the sight of in teeth
and claws did not. encourage the iiA
tempt, so he killi-d it. Jerry Suyd-r,
a local taxidermist, now ha-t it in
pjsession.
An Apical to Christian Toinpjrjnci
People of Snyder County.
I have long felt that Snyder, my
home county, was bchiud in thj
work of the Woman's Christian Tom-
porauce Union and I now ask co op
eration, ; that time, thought and
prayer, bo given to this work. Will
not the Christian people join me in
prayer Friduy (Juno 7th) that Go 1
may bless our combined efforts in
this work ? I will come to the Coun
ty prepared to work the 8th of Juna
and for two weeks or more will give
my time and strength to answer
all calls made upon me. I will or-
ganizo W. C. T. Unions Y. W. O. T.
Unions and Loyal Temn. Lesions.
I desire correspondence on this sub
ject so I can arrange the work satis
factorily. I come under the au
spices of the Woman's Christian
Temperance Union of Pa. Please
address me Mrs. Mary E. Gearharf.
Selinsgrove, l'a. care of Dr. B. F.
