THE REFORM BILLS.
During and after the now memorable light
within the Hepublican party over the chair
manship of the state committee, and in
which Senator Quay dealt a death blow to
the Combine leaders of Philadelphia and
Pittsburg, the Juuior Senator committed him
self to tbc enactment of certain reform
-asures by tbe Legislature. Tbe following
year tho views of Senator Quay were em
bodied in a plank of tbe party platform, thnt
pledging the Republican members of tLo
l.risl.iiorc to favor these reform measures
i"l i 1 1 iorm bills favored by Senator Quaj
ill b r I lie eua -fluent of laws correcting the
vl- nfu.se of money in politics and tie
coiporate control of legislatures, municipal
cuuin ils, political primaries and elections; a
form of civil service which will prevent
the enslavement of public oftieers and em
ployi s, w bich will iusuro freedom and fair

tral Is a demand that public umoe be fur tbe
piililu benefit, and it term In subordinate

no pub'ii iiltniul shall bo peiinittcd to in
rluiucu i'oiitiiul priinurieaorcouvuitioua,aud
that i irpoiiitiotis enjoying publie privileges
shall pay for them.
'1 he Republican state committee was In
structed to frame bills iu conformity with tbe
aliovc. and when tbey were Introducod in
the Legislature, by the friends of Senator
Quay, these measures wero Immediately
attacked by tbe bogus reformers back of the
Combine, thus cndaugerlug their successful
pannage Tbe Junior Senator's mi-slou to
Harrisburg this week was for tbe purpose of
urging his friend to stand by tbe pledges or
ih party made during tbs campaign. Tbo-e
newspapers supporting tbe Combine, fearful
of Quay's influence, heralded bU visit to the
state capital as a mistiou to fix up political
plums foi bis friends; but even these pseudo
Republicui ipera knew well his true mis
sion -ami it will show itself later iu tbe !
pisHUKcol t lie reform bills.
It is natural that the Combine ibleftain,
who maintain Htrlr runt nil liy hrlbeiy and
threat of political aiuiihilatlnn, should
oppose reform on the lines Indicated ; hut
what about those goody-goody reformem,
aneh as Kan Oman, nianaenhnrf and Van
Valketibnrg, who have succeeded In delaying,
lu every way In their power, tb paaaage of
the reform bills, to which the party la pledged
nd lor which thoro In a general demand on
the part of the peoplof These people, the
Combine followers, are reformers when the
other fellow la being reformed.

Influence he exerts over the members of the
legislature, will likely he furncient to over
come any obstacles tbe Combiners may plare !
In the tray, and the bills will Anally (
the Legislature. In this connection it wiU(
be interesting to noto the votes of tlio
Schuylkill county tlehaatfon, as an amend

making It applicable to, besides Philadelphia

Matters In rraajte.
It It sold that "Janthe" and "The Maid
of Athens" are tbe only two survlvlnp
persons whom . llyron bad dcscrlned or re
forml tu In his iioeme. Whether this lie no
cumtely true or not.t.be generations against
which that brilliant literary Ishmnel
waged suoh a constant and such a futile !
war has almost entirely passed awny, nml
with It has passed the fashion of bun onn
lug one's rivals etui even of extolling
ono's friends In verse. Time was when n
eploe of personality was an IndlspcnsnMt
attraction in A book meant to cutch flu
public ear, and If nyoung or incxi crlonced
author neglected this important joint tht
publisher would be sure to urge tho neccs
slty of catering for the goncrnl taste nnd
would perhaps himself suggest n worth
subject for au epigram. Wo nre not rofcr
ring to the Curlls of a century and a halt
ngo, but to tho very honorable and gener
ous publishers with whom our grandfa
thors hnd to do. The literary controversies
which wore so rife In the nge of "Kngllah
Bards and Scotch Iieviowers," but which
are nowadays comparatively rare, wen
gloated over by an eager public, and It li
not to bo wondered at if the publisher!, whe
ImmI their lingers continuously upon tl'.Ui
customers' pulse, preferred such booki nt
were calculated to stimulate tho fovor oi
curiosity. Those personal references were,
of course, very various In their character.
No lady could comi lain of being immur
tnllzctl as lunthe, but we can Imagine thai
a considerable number of Hyron's vlcthm
would have given a round sum to bo ex
eluded from his bitter satires. It must
hnvo been a "Iwd quarter of hii hour" foi
tho Scotoh reviewers when they rend tin
retaliation which ono of their company haf
brought upon them, almost ns unconifort
nblo as tho live minutes In which tho poor,
ill treated governors read the description
of herself, commencing with tho words.
"Born In n garret, In n kitchen bred."
Few of Byron's friends or acquaintance
csoniied without n single spluttor from hit
pen of gall, nnd pome, ns is well known,
felt tho Injury i cry keenly. Hut nt thi
same time ho knew how to freak favorably
both of tho living nnd tho dead. It is n
strange instance of tho vast power wU ldid
for good or ovil by tho maker of simple
verses that ono lady Is nt tho prosont mo
ment enjoying n comforlulilo annuity tc
which sho had no other claim whatevci
than that of having been extolled by Byron
in a few complimentary stunzas. To dc
Byron justice, he rarely "showed up" his
contemporaries unless they hnd prev louely
turned their jiens against him, whertaf
there wero poets In those times who lmlid
lu verso for no better reason than thnt
their victims took a different iow of poll
tlos from their own. Shelley's outburst
against Cnstlcreagli, aud many of Pttji
Pindar's unmeasured diatribes, exceed in
their bitterness anything which vto should
consider justifiable today. When wi
pay that tho fashion of pcnxmal (illusion
among poets has passed away, wo do no!
main that tho clrciiiiisljinto Is unknown
in the present generation. The luurci.te's
csoniMulo In Punch, in which ho up lied
tho l.ish to tho shoulders of n brother oct,
Is not likely to bo forgotten, nnd he hat
taken several other occasions of bclalxirinp.
his critic, and tho race of "irresponsible
reviewers" in general. It is but n short
tlmo ago thnt two of our most popular
poets took up tho cudgels to one another in
tho public prints, nnd overclouded thcii
genius by n mist of hard words and ro
criminations perhaps quiUi as virulent at
nnything thnt Byron wrote of a rival.
Thoro can bo no doubt that personal allu
sions of tlio kind which wo hnvo Instanced
nro in every senso objectlonnblo, and that
tho decay of tho fashion Is matter foi
much congratulation. Two reasons in par
ticular might lie given which would amply
sufllco to condemn the practice. In the
first place, It Is so very casyto lash oneself
into n rugo by tho whip cracking of our
own rhymes and mctcra, just ns certain
animals nro said to do by tho application
of their tails.
It Is quite posslblo to work oneself Into
a literary fury ngainst a literary rival,
while nt tho club or in the street wo should
take him by the bund nnd exchnngo the
ldlo gossip of tho day. Again, it Is beyond
nil question thnt literary wrangles hnvo a
tendency to dobuso lltcrnturo itself. There
Is no such thing as sublime personality.
Tho only lofty satlro is that which is thor
oughly general In Its application. A better
poet who Is cither prejudiced or angry nec
essarily descends from tho back of Pega
sus nnd holds on, if lit all, by tho tall. In
other words, his versos limp, his Ideas
grow commonplace, und tho savor of his
poctiy is destroyed. English poots in par
ticular do well to lot this species of satire
alone, for, though ns n rulenn Englishman
is nn admirable fighter, hp is decidedly lim
ited In his mastery of weapons. Poetry is
a foil that should always have the buttons
on, but wo havo a too straightforward way
of taking tho buttons off. In. Franco they
manngo theso things differently. There
they can crca foils wtbout hurting each
other. It Is a national characteristic. Mo
llero used occasionally to hit living persons
vey lu.rd, but wc read of one instance In
which he completely disarmed tho lexent
meut of tho object of his satire by reading
his play to him privately before it was put
upon the stage. Ho had satirized his man
iu such n polite stylo that the bitter was
easily persuaded to tako so much individ
ual attention ns n compliment. The thing
would have been impossible in England.
For us, nt all ovcuts, the day of personali
ties in literature is past, and we imagine
that no sonsiblo Englishman regrets It.
Kven flattery is in questionable tasto. But
that a man should bo lampooned by his
fellow on account of a mere difference of
opinion Is no longer to be tolerated. Sat

Out into tlio Darkness.
What mother would turn her young
aaugttter out
alone unpro
tected Into the
stormy night?
Yet many loving
mothers allow
their daughters,
who are just com
ing into the time
of womanhood,
to proceed with
out proper care
and advice all un
protected and
alone Into the
fierils of this crlt
cal period.
Young women
nt this time often
suffer from Irreg
ularity and weak
ness which may
afterwards d e -velop
into dan
gerous disease
nnd fill their
whole lives with
wretchedness.
It is a mother's
duty not to pass over such matters In
silence, but to promote her daughter's
womanly health and regularity by every
reasonable means.
These delicate ailments are easily over
come in their early stages by judicious self
treatment without any need of the obnox
ious examinations which doctors uniformly
iu 1st upon. Dr. Tierce's I'avorlte Prescrip
tion is a positive specific for all diseases of
tho feminine organism.
It restores perfect health and regularity
to the special functions, aud vital vigor to
the nerve-centres. It Is the only medicine
of its kind devised for this one purpose by
an educated, cxperiencetl physician.
During nearly 30 years as chief consult
In x physician of the Invalids' Hotel and
Surgical Institute, of Buffalo, N. Y., Dr.
Pi rc ; has acquired an enviable reputation.
Hii Medicines are everywhere recognized
as standard remedies. His "Golden Med
ical Discovery" alternated with the "Fa
vorite Prescription " constitutes a thorough
and scientific course of treatment for weak
and impoverished conditions of the blood.
