Tho man who has succeeded to a
well-established business, which he
thinks needs no building up, is occa
sionally heard to say: "There Is no
need of advertising." He sometimes has
his doubts, however, when lie sees an
other man, without his advantages,
build up a better business in a single
year in tho same street or around the
corner by the aid of advertising.

Tho silver question threatens to cut
quite a large figure in the national con
ventions .of both leading parties next
year, and the politicians will have' their
hands full of trouble until a satisfactory
settlement of the matter is arrived at.
They have found that the "free silver
crank" is very numerous in tho ranks of
the Democrats and Republicans, and no
straddling of the issue will be allowed.
It must be a straight declaration for or
against the monied power of the coun
try, and the cry of "honest money" will
not delude the voters as the phrase
"protection to American labor" did for
so many years.
The, New York Tribune recently used
a half column of its editorial space for
the disloyal and disreputable purpose of
instructing men with large incomes how
to evade the income tax. It advises the
people who are liable to the tax to re
fuse to pay it, and thus bring the ad
ministration into embarrassment. This
is surely preaching anarchy, lawlessness
and crime! Who would have thought
that the Tribune . founded by that great
man, Horace Greeley, could be lowered
to that! No wonder Congressman Sib
ley says that anarchy, if it ever comes,
will come from tho "money powers, the
subsidized press and the servile politi
cians." He struck it about right.
The legislative bill to give townships,
boroughs and cities the right to decide
whether or not they shall have liquor
licenses granted to the residents of such
districts has received the approval of
many high church dignataries, but not
withstanding their earnest efforts to
have the measure passed there is not
much chance of it becoming a law. The
Pennsylvania legislators do not believe
in letting the people settle their own
affairs in the manner most suitable to
each locality; if they did a local option
taxation bill would be passed, giving to
every county, or to every municipality,
the privilege of choosing its own method
of collecting taxes and deciding what
shall be taxed.

Six Montli
Editor Maloy, of the Lansford Record,
has not forgotten the men who basely
deceived him in 1804, as the following
from the last issue of his paper will
prove: "When Collector Herring sank
ids manhood and repudiated his written
pledges on the deputy collectorship to
pander to the selfish and designing
John T. Lcnahan, of Wilkes-Harre, he
was told that Lcnahan would be found
among the anti-Harrity people as soon
as the opportunity presented itself. He
now favors the Kerrs who were turned
down four years ago, but fortunately for
the regular Democracy he can do noth
ing, as Mr. John Smoultcr is county
chairman and Lcnahan can neither
bulldoze nor hypnotize him."
A CURIOUS ease of house moving was
recently witnessed in Oregon. A man
who owned a residence at Seattle,
which cost him five thousand dollars to
erect, removed to Olympia, and did not
have sufficient funds to build another
house. Ho bought a lot and concluded
to remove the building he owned at
Seattle. Everyone laughed at him,
but ho persisted. Polling the house
down to the river, he loaded it upon a
scow and it was soon at Olympia, u dis
tance of about sixty miles. Then ho
had it rolled upon his lot, and, strange
to say, not a timber was strained, nor
even a piece of furniture broken, al
though ho had not removed the con
tents before starting the house upon
its unusual journey.
Women In Polities.
The trusts of women now are as sa
cred as any on earth, and man cannot
relieve her of them. If, therefore, ho
demands of her participation in such
duties, political or general, which his
natural constitution fits him for, while
he cannot relievo her of those most
necessary demands of her, ho
to her a monstrous injustice. This,'
says the Boston Herald, is what Impos
ing- the suffrage on women would
amount to; for, if woman may vote, she
must vote! It is a mere sophism to say
that the simple dropping of a ballot is
all that is required of her. If the
suffrage is extended to women they
must accept it as a. duty, bringing to
bear on it the conscientious spirit
which they bring to bear on their pres
ent life problems. It would be well to
consider, too, if they would be prepared
to give up the special privileges which,
in Massachusetts, they possess: Un
married women and widows of
small estates are exempt from taxation.
Women, and not men, are allowed to
acquire a settlement without paying a
tax. Husbands are compelled to sup
port their wives, but wives (oven when
rich) are exempt from supporting an
indigent husband. Men are liable for
their wives' debts, but women are not
made liable for their husbands'. Wom
en are excused from jury duty. Wom
an is exempt, except in actions for tort,
from arrest previous to judgment and
execution. She has the advantage of
man in regard to policies of life insur
ance. The husband is liable for crimi
nal acts committed by his wife in his
presence, yet no such counterbalanc
ing liability exists for her. A father
must support his children during their
non-age, even when they have property
of their own. A widowed mother is
not under such obligation unless she
have sufficient means and her children
have none of their own. Women can
more easily than men acquire citizen
ship of the United States.
Hypnotism for the Deaf.
Principal Currier, of the New York
Institution, has startled the scientific
world by his theory that hypnotism
may, in certain cases, be successfully
applied with a view to giving hearing
to the deaf. The average individual
knows little or nothing concerning the
"eerie science," as some writers term it,
but scientific and medical men have
shown it to be of value in mental dis
eases, and, wo believe, in surgery. It is
folly, says the Deaf Mute Journal, to
say that it is certainly going to prove
efficacious in removing deafness; still
the theory advanced and the argu
ments used are plausible enough to
justify experiment. All the great in
ventions that are now being of so much
service to mankind were ridiculed and
denounced at the beginning, and Prin
cipal Currier will be exceptionally
lucky if his theory is not maltreated
and abused by unbelievers. Results
will show whether his position is ten
able or otherwise.
THE ocean travel fell off to such an
extent last year that it may be doubt
ful whether some of tho lines will not
be seriously affected in consequence.
Tho number of passengers of all classes
who arrived at New York was 280,725.
Taking a fair year for comparison, wo
find that in 1801 the figure was 550,813,
which shows that a loss of nearly 50
per cent, took place last year. Prob
ably there was a business in the other
direction to make up for some of the
loss, but, on the other hand, it is com
mon knowledge that very low steerage
fares havo been in order for somo time.
STRAW braid, from which straw hats
are made, is one of the articles raised
in prico by tho war in the far east, and
manufacturers the world over are turn
ing to new sources of supply, notably
some of tho German mountain towns.
The wholesale dealers In hat materials
still recall the little turn in straw
braids years ago when the Chinese
merchants proved themselves more
than matches for tho western mer
chants in commercial cleverness. Tho
attempt of the latter to control the
straw-braid market was disastrously
defeated by the orientals.
A CHICAGO pawnbroker was the vic
tim of burglars recently. Five watches
were stolen from his shop. One of
them was numbered 3,002,704, with a
case numbered 228,247. The other day
the police, in looking over his stock of
watches, found this same one. The
pawnbroker had received it In pawn,
paying out a liberal amount of coin.
When the police convinced him that he
had issued money on his own watch to
the thief who had stolen it, and that he
had allowed the clever thief to escape,
the pawnbroker was filled with disgust.
IT is said the manufacture of false
tails for horses has reached so high a
degree of perfection that the counter
feit may bo buckled onto the stump of
a docked horse and ho will travel along
beside a mate with a natural long tail,
defying detection. Thus it comes that
now and then a horse appears in the
morning with a docked tail, and in tho
afternoon with one almost sweeping
the ground.
DURING tho extreme cold of February
the wild beasts of Arkansas were ren

Instances bears and wolves attacked
human beings for the purpose of using

IIARHIi LETTER
A Growing Sontiment in Favor ol
the New Revenue Bill.
JUDICIAL APPORTIONMENT BILL.
It Given the State Six New Judges and
Makes Material Changes In the Present
Districts—Journalists on Governor Hast
ings' Staff—The Governor's Presidential
Boom*
(Special Correspondence.)
HARHISBURG, March 25. —There is N
growing sentiment in the state in favor of
the new reveuue bill. The hearings before
the house ways and means committee the
past threo weeks have given the pooplo a
better understanding of the measure, and
it looks now as if it might become a law
with a few minor amendments. Its friends
claim it will Increaso the tato revenues
and at the same time make a ipioro equit
able distribution of taxation. The most
objectionable features of the bill are the
provisions levying a mill tax on the cap
ital stock of building and loan associa
tions and a four mill tax on the capital
stock of manufacturing corporations. Tho
manufacturers uro kicking on the bill,
while tho bankers and railroad peoplo are
quietly urging its passage.
Tho lack of funds to make all the ap
propriations desired by tho legislature
continues to bo an interesting topic among
tho members, but those from Philadel
phia Insist that tho monoy for the Dela
ware river Improvement must bo found J
somewhere, oven if it has to be taken
from tho item set asido for schools. It is
argued that a reduction of 1500,000 In tho i
total school appropriation would bo felt
but slightly in tho individual districts,
whereas expending that sum on tho
state's highway to the sea would so stimu
late our commerce and general business
that in a few years there would bo enough
revenue to largely increase tho appropria
tions to schools. It is also argued that
some of the country districts depend al
most entirely upon tho state appropriation,
and it would do them good to havo to
hustle about and raise a little larger fund
of thoir own.
Taxation Hill Aimed at Corporations.
A taxation bill aimed at corporations
has been put in tho senate by Senator
Walton. It taxes corporations, including
monoy at interest, stipes, bonds, etc., for
all local purposes, except public schools.
Under oxisting laws corporations pay four
mills to tho state and are exempt from lo
cal taxation. Their stock will bo assessed
like real estate, and tho millage of the dis
trict will apply. Senator Walton says tho
burden of taxation on roal ostato is bo
coming so onerous that unless something
is done it will not pay farmers to hold
farms and tho working classes to own
their own homes. Ho believes tho corpo
rations should assist in maintaining the
municipal govorumonts.
Tho Nickell amendment to tho constitu
tion reducing the number of oloctious ono
half, without throwing local and stato
elections on the same day, has gono through
tho house on second reading and will be
considered during tho present week on
third reading. Mr. Nickell's amendment
proposes that members of tho legislature
and congress, judges of thecourtsof record
and all officers and representatives to be
chosen by the state at large shall bo chosen
on tho Tuesday following tho first Mon
day of Novombor in tho oven numbered
years, while all county, city, ward, bor
ough and township oillcors shall bo chosen
on tho same day in odd numbered years.
The craze for tho oroction of now coun
tlos is on the increaso. Bills for the erec
tion of tho counties of Quay, Mononghela
and Grow aro pending in tho house, and
Representative Fow lias como to tho front
with a bill from tho peoplo of Wayno
county to create a county out of parts of
Wayno, Wyoming and Lackawana coun
ties, with Carbondalo as tho county seat.
Throe names have been suggested for tho
proposed county—Meredith, for tho sec
retary of the treasury in 1849, who is
buried in tho lower end of Wayno county;
Morris, after Robert Morris, the revolu
tionary financier, and Anthracite, after
its chief product. Grow county is a Demo
cratic schomo to block tho Republican
plan of erecting Quay county. Thochances
aro that some of tho proposed counties
will bo created.
Tho Judicial Apportionment Hill.
The judicial apportionment bill will *
considered on third rending in the house
tomorrow. It went through on second
reading last Thursday after a bitter fight
against it by the Democrats. The bill
gives tho stato six additional judges and
makes a number of material changes In
the present districts. Huntingdon and
Miffiin are mado a district, and Centro,
which is now attached to Huntingdon, is
made a separate district. Schuylkill
county is given a separate orphans' court
judge, Delawaro and Lancaster each gets
an additional law judge, as does Washing
ton aud Wostinoreland. Tho Clinton-
Cameron-Elk district, now Democratic,
lias been dlsmomberod so as to givo tho
Republicans unothcr judge. Cameron has
boon tacked on to Potter and McKoan,
Elk to Forest, and Warren and Clinton to
Clearfield.
The bill provides thftt if tho president
judge and additional law judge of a dis
trict cannot agree on a question of law
the opinion of the president judge shall ho
the deoreo of tho court, from which a bill
of exceptions can be soaled and taken to
tho supreme court. In case whoro a mo
tion for a new trial is made the opinion of
the trial judge shall bo deemed the decree
of tho court. Where the judges aro sitting
In different courts it shall bo competent
for the trial judge to reserve a question of
law and have it argued before them both
when on the bench.
Charles Hober Clark, secretary of tho
Manufacturers' club, of Philadelphia, will
delivor an address in the hall of the house
of representatives tomorrow evening, by
request of tho legislature, on free silver.
Charles Emory Smith, editor of tho Phila
delphia Press, will reply to Mr. Clark on
Thursday ovuning with a speech on "Sound
Money."
The patriotic societies are protesting
against the change to bo made by the sen
ate education committee In the provisions
of the religious garb bill. The measure
as it passed tho house puts the responsi
bility on the teacher, and that is the way
the patriotic socioties want it to remain.
Hut it is proposed to amend the bill so as
to put the responsibility on the school
board employing the teacher wearing a re
ligious garb or insignia in the public
schools.
Tho bill establishing a superior court,
with flvo judges, for the relief of the su
preme court, has been passed the second
time in tho house nnd will como up to
morrow iu the senate on first reading. The
bill provides that at tho first eloction foi
tho five judges each elector shall vote fot
four only. This will give tho Democracy
one representative ou tho bench. Tho
court shall sit once a year at Philadel
phia, Pittsburg, Hurrisburg, Williams
port and Scranfcon.and shall have jurisdis
diction in less than * 1,000.
Journalists on Hastings' Stair.
Governor Hastings lias throe newspa
por men in his military familj* A month
ugo tho governor appointed Henry Hall,
tho bright and vorsatile legislative cor
respondent of tho Pittsburg Times, and
James Elverson, Jr., publisher of tho
Philadelphia Inquirer, aides on his staff
with tho rank of lieutenant colonel. Last
week tho governor announced tlie appoint
ment of George N. McCain,legislative cor
respondent of the Philadelphia Pi M as
an aide on his Staff with the rant; oi**. >u
tenant colonel. Colonels Hall ilud Mc-
Cain are two of tho brightest and most
popular newspaper men in the state, and
their appointment is a credit to the gov
ernor. Colonel Hall is president of the
Harrisburg Newspaper Correspondents'
association and a member of the Wash
ington and Pittsburg Press clubs.
Mr. Schwarz, of Monroe, has introduced
a bill in the house to make lawyers of pro
thonotarlcs who havo served throe full
terms. Mr. Schwarz's friends are having
lots of fun out of tho bill by forwarding
him a number of amendments to bo of
fered on socond reading. Among tho pro
posed changes suggested is one creating
physicians out of doctor's hostler!. An
other makes court house janitors full
fledged lawyers. A third compels county
superintendents to grant certificates to
school house janitors and compels boards
of education to employ them. Anothor
creates Grangers out of railway employes
who handle fertilizers.
At tho request of tho colored people
of tho state a bill has been introduced by
Representative Hap wood, of Fayette, mak
ing February 13, tho anniversary of tho
birth of Lincoln, a legal holiday. Mr.
Pago has a bill to provide for tho inspec
tion of ull private or public hospitals, re
formatory houses,convents, asylums,secta
rian seminaries, schools or institutions by
the commissioners of tho county in which
said institution is situated, by tho grand
jury thereof or by any person appointed
by tho court of record upon petition
signed by twenty persons.
The bill creating the oflloc of stato cus
todian is in tho hands of tho governor. It
passed the final stage in the house last week
and was amended by changing tho liamo
of the olflce from "custodian" to "super
intendent." The senate concurred in the
amendments. Tho governor will sign the
bill during tho week and nominate Cap
tain John C. Delanoy, of this city, to tho
oflicc created by it.
The Governor's Presidential Room,
Governor Hastings' friends arc making
an energetic eanvuss in behalf of his can
didacy for tho presidential nomination in
1896. Since Senator Quay has declared for
tho governor his friends havo received
pledges of support from many of tho most
active political loaders in tho stato. A. M.
High, of Rending, has already announced
his candidacy for delegate to tho next na
tional Republican convention,with the un
derstanding that if elected ho will support
Governor Hastings. Nino yoars ago Mr.
High was the first delegate elected to tho
national convention from Pennsylvania.
Ho was for Blaine and supported tho man
from Maine until the finish. As the Berks
count primaries will bo the first in the
stato for national dologate tho result will
be watched with interest,as it will indicate
to a degree of certainty tho strength of
the Hastings sentiment.
The house has shown a disposition to
kill the bill allowing justices of tho peace
to try certain petty cases by a jury of six.
The bill was up last Wednesday, and after
much debate it was postponed for tho
present to 'prevent its defeat. Under tho
bill tho defendant asks for the trial and
waives all right of appeal, but tho testi
mony and verdict can bo reviewed by tho
court. Tho cases which come under tho
provisions of the bill are as follows: As
sault and battery, blasphemy,
where tho amount does nor cxbeed $10;
disturbing public meetings, cruelty to an
imals, selling unwholesome provisions,
revealing telegraphic dispatches, cheating
innkeepers, firing woods and malicious
mischief, trespass and cutting down tim
ber. The country members want tho bill,
but tho city members are against it.
In the Interest of Retailors.
A bill which is intended to largely in
crease tho revenues of tho retail liquor
dealers is now pending on tho second
rending calendar of tho house. It was in
troduced by Representative Mackroll, of
Allegheny, and is bolng hacked by tho
roceutly organized State League of Retail
Liquor Dealers. On its face it seems to bo
a very ordinary bill, in that it merely
amends the wholosalo liquor law so as to
prevent wholesale dealers and grocers
from selling spirituous or vinous liquors
in less quantities than a gallon, instead of
a quart, as at present. When the great
quantity of wines and liquors purchased
by the quart from grocers and certain
wholosalo dealers for family use is taken
into consideration tho importance of tho
measure can be readily seen. Should tho
Mackroll bill become a law it would prac
tically force grocers out of tho business, as
most of their sales are by quart bottles,
and then the entire traffic would go into
tho hands of the retail saloon keepers.
Every person desiring a quart of liquor for
household purposes would, under the pro
posed law, have to go to a saloon to get it.
A mild sensation was Created in tho
senate Saturday by tho introduction of
tho Baker rapid transit bill. Tho new
measure is very general in character and
is to remedy the defect in the present law
which prevents tho construction of olevnted
roads. It applies only to such corpora
tions which have been or may be organ
ized under tho general railroad act of 1868,
or have accepted its provisions. Tho bill
will probably be vigorously antagonized
by the street railway interests, but from
present indications the rapid transit idea
seems to be popular, and it would not bo
surprising if the measure were put through
the senate within a week, especially as tho
men who control legislation in the sonate
are all for it. W.

TAIIANTUM, Pa., March 25.— Korncy Sut

Views on Saturday's Ac
tion of the Reichstag.
Tbe Kaiser Declares It Is n Reflec
tlon on HhiisclP, tlie Government
and All the Authorities Who Will
Unite in Honoring Bismarck—The
ex-Chancellor's Admirers Warned.
Berlin, March 25.—The loss of an
army bill could not have excited Ger
many more than the reiehstag's refusal
to congratulate Bismarck. The moment
tiie result of the vote was kuowu, Dr.
von Boetticher hurried to tho telephone
and told the emperor who was waiting
the news in the Old Castle. Herr von
Bucanus, chief of his majesty's civil cab
inet, went directly from the imperial box
to the castle and described to the emper
or the scenes of tumult in tlie reichstag.
lie must have given a very vivid picture,
for when the emperor drove out Unter
den Linden between 51 and 4 o'clock he
looked unusually sullen.
Tho Kaiser Greatly Disturbed.
All ofllcials likely to know the em
peror's feelings ugree that he was in
tensely disturbed by the reichstag's ex
hibition of itself. Ho is understood to
have exclaimed at the end of Lucanus's
narrative: 44 It is scundalous. The vote
is a reflection on me, the government and
all the authorities and societies who will
unite in honoring Bismarck."
Had Ample AVarning.
A peculiar feature of the whole affair
is the apparent indifference or ignorance
with which the emperor and the minis
ters, despite all unmistakable warnings,
again steered straight into defeat. The j
emperor could hardly have been ignorant
of what everybody else knew. He must
have been informed that on Thursday
the socialists, Catholics, Kichtcr radicals
and Poles had formed a coalition to re
ject Levetaow's motion.
Must Not Go Too Far.
The government's attitude toward de
mands for a dissolution is distinctly pas
sive. A general election with "Bis
marck" for the rallying cry would com
mit the government body and soul to'the
agrarian programme and several other
points of Bismarckian policy for which
tlie emperor and his minister have little
liking. Among the passionate appeals
and denunciations with which the news
papers have been loaded since Saturday,
there is one calm and carefully reasoned
article which warns tlie admirers of the
old chancellor not to go too far in their
indignation, for "the storm now let loose
may bring to the front again Prince Bis
marck's powerful personality, working
to tho ends which most of tho parties
cannot approve." •
Every German Must Blush.
The Post, conservative, says: "The
emperor's dispatch to Prince Bismarck
expresses the feelings of tho nation.
Every German must blush at the reich
stag's disgraceful action. Tho parlia
mentary fruit brought forth by univer
sal secret suffrage is still unripe. Tho
reichstag is rapidly tilling up its meas
ures."
