PROPOSED INVESTIGATION. I
Junketing Tour or (lie Legislators to the
Goal -legion of tlio Stnte,
Tli attention of tlie Stnte Semite, previous
lumguiiniuivubuu rnuay last, was occupies i
hv tlia tirnrMilHnn tn .fwl n immmlllA
forty to Investigate the coal mining industry
of the nnthraslto ml bituminous regions.
The members will stain tackle the snbjeot I
when the Legislature assembles this evening, :
when the question trill probably be settled 1
finally. The origins resolution called for a ,
committee of Are, In response to a petition
from cltlcens of the Pittsburg distrlot.settlng
forth an unusual oondltiou of poverty In
that region and asking for a committee to in
vestigate the cause and apply tho remedy.
A heated dlKiisslon followed nn amend
ment by Senator Ooyle to tuolude tho an
thraeite district and to increase tho com
mitteo from five to forty. The Senator's
amendment was defeated, and he will appeal
from the decision of the chair this eveninz.
Mr. Coyle had himself interviewed by the
Philadelphia Inquirer's Ilarrlsburg repre
sentative, and we quote tho following :
"lie (Coyle) quoted one Instance, which, he
said, was not on eiceptlonal one, by nny lneans.
It happened on 'Shenandoah Hill,' n Small patoli
near Shenandoah A miner walked intern Store
and picked up a big sack of flour, stating to the
storekeeper that his olilUlren were starving and
, m, iivBnc,T no would iw nrresieu ll lie took
the flour, but he must have It. The storekeeiier
sent a constable after the man to arrest him.
n lien he arrived at the house lie saw the chil
dren eutliiK the flour right out of the Ihik (row
.V" co,"tble could not arrest the man
and told him so. A farmer passing gave two
bushels of iiotatoes to the family. The children
ate the potatoes like apples, without being
cooked or the dirt wnslied from thnin. Tim
f no necessity for further argument. Capit
alistic greed bad put the last straw on tho
uuuiei s umiK.
It Is generally acknowledged that there Is
want and suffering in tho anthraoitc region,
as well as in other portions of tho state, and
any measure looking to relief will bo heartily
endorsed by all. But no such povorty, as
cltled by Senator Coylo, oxlsts hero. Tho
latter rosidos in an adjoining town, and ho
could easily have found, by very little in
vesication, that tho "bag of flour and bushel
of potatoes" story Is made from the wholo
cloth. A man by the name of Weston, of
Pottsville, who probably hasn't been in this
town for several years, furnished the in
formation, and this should bo sufficient to
show that tho statement Is based upon idle
rumor and that Shenandoah's povorty Is
ooing exaggerated.
The fact of the matter is the party who so
cured the bushel of potatoes is worklngsteady
and receives $30 a month, sufficient for the
needs of any ordinary man. Tho same nartv
applied for relief, but was refused because of
the circumstances above stated. Sbonan
doah has much suffering and our peoplo are
anxious for relief, hut they ohloct to beinir
paraded before the state In a false light."
ineaecator should correct tho false im-
prosslon he has created, so far as tho pooplo
ui mis iowu aro concerned.

was also about to fall whon it was discovered
by tho manager, which showed that more

Harrlsburg, March 16. While It is
true that one swallow does not make
a -summer, yet the committee of the
senate appointed to investigate the
oapitol fire realize that one Swallow
can give very considerable trouble If
so disposed. The refusal of Dr. Swal
low, editor of The Methodist, whose ac
cusations are familiar to your readers,
to give the names of persons whom he
claims to have knowledge of the cause
of the fire, has placed the committee
in an unpleasant position, and while
they have profound respect for the
gentleman's calling, they feel that It
would establish a bad precedent to al
low him to prevent them from obtain
ing evidence to assist in prosecuting
their work. They have referred this
case to the lioime for its disposal. This
will no doubt be acted upon this week.
Both the friends and enemies of Dr.
Swallow claim that they have no ordl
nary individual to contend with, he be
Ing a man of more than usual courage
and able to defend himself In a con
test of this kind.
Dr. Swallow himself Is quite reticent
OR the subject, but some of his friends
claim that he Is Juitfflable In his re
fusal to answer the questions pro
pounded by -this oommlttee. on the
grounds that he Is to be tried for crim
inal Ubl in the courts of Dauphin

d upon,
Among the many bills that have
been offered since the opening of the
session are a number that are recog
nized by the several committeees as
unconstitutional, as they relate to the
repeal ot special acts, and there Is
Some discussion whether nftar nil tl,
commlttees have not a right to report
tnem, euner negatively or affirmative
ly, to each house for their considera
tion, and not hold them, as it la nro-
posed to be done. This will develop
very considerable discussion within the
next few days.
Among the nonular lnmmirM that
have been introduced this session, that
ate bill No. 0. or the Hamilton road
bill, and stransre to aav tho iniin.n
working In It favor cornea largely
from the farming districts. Of the
1.857 supervisors reporting as to ita
value from 1,422 townships In the state,
1.838 favor a money tax. In the ooun
try districts it Is recognized as having
very superior advantages over the law
now In foroe. The present laws allows
the supervisor to levy a ten mill tax,
and in addition to this they may incur
a debt to an unlimited extent, which
the townships are subsequently re
quired bo pay; thus virtually the pow
ers ef supervisors are unlimited.
The H&illton bill limits the powers
of supervisors to run a township In
deht, restricting them to a 10 mill
tax, and In caso of a great emergency
this tax may be- increased to 20 mills,
but the extra 10 mills can only be
levied by application to court, and the
citizens of any township where It la
proposed can protest against this ad
ditional expense. With a few modifi
cations this bill will pass both houses
within the next few days.
The Kxelse CqminlHlan Hill,
A bill embracing many far reaching
provisions, and which la known as the
state excise commission bill, has re
cently been introduced. This is In ad
dition to four others that are already
pending in the house or senate for the)
appointment of commissioners compos
ed of a faw men who will take absolute
control of certain industries or Itatltu
tlons. Among these commissioners are
what are known as the electric light
and water power commission, railroad
commission, mining commission, the
state excise commission and the new
