The trustees of the Girard ostate are doing good in a manner that is commendable and worth following by other corporations. Within the last twelve years it lias planted 120,000 trees on the lands of the estate, to re place the timber required in its min ing operations. Within the present year it will sot out 20,000 more, and this feature will be steadily adhered to until all the timber that has been cut away in the past will be replaced by these artificial plantings. The trust in its report also announces that its past experience demonstrates the faet that it is possible to establish refores tation on a large scale, and that its advantages are already clear. There is one thing in the pro gramme of General Coxey that tie serves commendation, whatever may be said of his crazy method of at tempting to influence congress and public opinion. As his army strug gles over shoe tops through the mud of Pennsylvania highways it gives every day practical evidence of the necessity for mending them. Not since the old system of turnpike im provements has anything of value been done by the legislature to en able the people of the commonwealth to enter upon a practical plan for se curing good roads. The road laws are as bad as they can be, and as a consequence the township roads in many sections of Pennsylvania are the worst in the country.— U/ula. lincord. The Philadelphia 7 imes says: "It may be of interest to know how the Pennsylvania Democrats in the house attended to the duties they were elected to perform. Pennsylvania has ten Democratic representatives, and only four of them—Wolverton, Krdman, Reilly and Kribbs—have been present and had their votes re corded upon every roll-call. Con gressmen Mutchler, McAleer, Sipe, Beltzhoover, Hines and Sibley have been the absentees, and have just happened into the house from time to time to answer to their names when it seemed to suit their convenience." j Fine specimen of Democrats they are, j but the day of reckoning is comiug. [ Hines will not hoodwink the voters of Luzerne again, for ho will moot the fate of all political traitors on the Glh of next November. All the bosses and lings in the county cannot save I him from the defeat he has earned so well. The Democrats in the house of representatives have thirty-five mem hers more than a quorum, which gives them the privilege of transact ing any kind of business without waiting upon their Republican col leagues, yet so little interest is taken in the affairs of the nation that a quo rum is present only occasionnly and then the absentees consider that they are doing the party leaders a great favor by attending and voting. This, when legislation of importance to the Democracy and the country is hanging in the balance, is evidence that there are a number of Democrats in con gress who are not sufficiently large onough to comprehend the responsi bility of the positions to which they were elected. These men deserve to be defeated next November, even if Republicans have to be sent to Wash ington instead. Among the persist i ent absentees Billy Hines is av the 1 top of the list. The congressmen who voted for the single tax amendment to the Wil son bid on January ill last are to be S presented %vilh a memorial at the Manhattan Single Tax Club, New xoik, on l 1 nday evening. There is to be a dinner and adherents of tho j theory are to be present from all parts of the union. The men who had the honor of casting the first votes for tho single tax in congress were Judge j James G. Maguire, of California; I Jerry Simpson, of Kansas; Tom L. Johnson and M. D. Harter, of Ohio, and John DeWitt Warner and Charles Tracey, of New York. As they stood up to be counted thnt day, the house burst into applause, for in those six men who had insisted on their right to stand up and have their votes re corded, the house recognized tho thin first line of a widening phalanx, the vanguard of a force that is breaking existing political divisions and inaug uratiiig a struggle wider, deeper, and, | it may perhaps be, bitterer, than tho anli slavery struggle. But with as j certain a result. WASHINGTON LETTER. Washington, April 6, 1894. Representative Cooper, of Indiana, thinks a great thing for silver was ac complished when the house committee on coinage decided to favorably report his bill providing that greenbacks shall be subject to state and municipal taxa tion, as coin now is. Representative Hall, of Missouri, who was designated by the committee to write the report in favor of the bill, makes an accusation against the banks which, unless proyen to be erroneous, should of itself be a sutlicient reason for the speedy passage of the bill. He says: "The greenback was originally the people's money, but of late it has become the pet of the national banks. They have kept it from circulation and its freedom from taxa tion made it more desireable to keep in the bank vaults than silver or gold, which are subject to taxation. The anxiety of the bank to get hold of greenbacks has been so great that a fraudulent practice has grown up. There are only $340,000,000 of green backs in circulation, yet official returns show that banks and individuals claim exemption on $3,000,000,000 of green back. The manner of conducting this fraud is simple, A package of green backs is passed from bank to bank ahead of the tax assessor, and in each bank he exempts the same package of green backs." Mr. Cooper's bill is by no means a new idea. It has twice been passed by the senate by a unanimous vote and lias been endorsed by a num ber of Democratic state conventions. Senator Harris, of Tennessee, lias been by general admission, since the retirement of Ingalls, the ablest parlia mentarian in the senate. It is therefore 110 disparagement of Senator Voorhees, whose hard work has entitled him to a little rest, to say that the placing of the tarill bill in charge of .Senator Harris was a wise move. In addition to his parliamentary knowledge and skill, he is full of aggressiveness. He has al ready shocked the Republicans who at tempted to raise needless obstacles to prolong the tarill debate by promptly brushing them out of the way and Btating lirmly that no such tactics would be per mitted. He proposes that the senate shall every day at the expiration of the j "morning hour" (2 o'clock p. m ) talk tarill as long as it remains in session, j until a vote is reached on the bill, and he will not willingly deviate from that rule, except it be to take up something important that demands immediate ac tion. This will make the work of pro j longing the debate beyond a reasonable time, just for the sake of delay, much more ardorouß than the Republicans j have been calculating upon. I President Cleveland and Secretary | Gresltara were both pleased when the senate passed unanimously and without amendment the Bering sea bill prepared by the latter to meet necessities connect ed with carrying out the agreement reached by the court of arbitration that passed upon the claims of the United States and of Great Britian, in Bering sea. It was a double pleasure to get the bill unanimously approved and to get it passed ahead of action upon a similiar bill now before the British parliament. •The house has once more got a voting quorum of Democrats, and this week the Democratic contestants whose claims had been favorably reported upon by the committee on —O'Neill, of Missouri, and English, of California were given their Beats, and the Bland bill settled by a vote of 114 to 114 to sus tain the president's veto. Senator Morgan, of Alabama, has in troduced a bill providing for a reorgani zation of the state department, which will give all subordinates of that depart ' ment, excepting the secretary, his first assistant, ambassadors and ministers, a life tenure and chances for promotion I according to merit. i It would have been impossible for the governor of Georgia to have selected another man outside of congress to serve the unexpired term of the late Senator Colquitt who would have been as satisfactory to Democrats in congress as Hon. Patrick Walsh, who will need few introductions among Democrats in congress. It is generally expected here i that Speaker Crisp will be elected for | the full term beginning March 4, 1895. Senator Morton lias from the time he took charge of the agriculture depart ment made it an inviolable rule, binding upon himself and every oflicial in his department, that there shall be no oral understandings about public matters. He requires that everything said and done shall appear in writing upon the records of the department, so that no man shall be able to even make a pre tense of misunderstanding the disposal of any mutter. 8.
