The legislators at llarrisburg ran things with a high hand since the pre sent session began. Offices were created for those Republicans who could not be taken care of otherwise, and the salaries of hundreds of other officials were increased beyond all reasonable bounds. The legislature refused to open its eyes and see if the road before it was clear, now the members find themselves face to face with a condition of affairs that stamps them as the most reckless j financiers the state ever had to deal with, and that is saying a good deal, i To pay the salaries of the party leeches. I who are unfit for any thing but to stump for Republican candidates, the appro priations for the public schools, normal schools, hospitals, and several of the ; st ite departments, must bo cut down to i the lowest limit, and in several instances | ignored, entirely. Pennsylvania, on! many an occasion, had reason to be J ashamed of its rulers, but what else j could he expected fiom a party that ha> j steeped every branch of the government, j state and national, into debt hundred- : , of times, that the pockets of its friend j could be filled with the people's money*, j What Is "IlioliuiieKt Money?" From the VVilkt'S-Burre Telephone. We hear so much tiiese days abou j '•honest money" and "sound money." ! and all that, that we are curious t< • know what it all means. We hear tin | present silver dollar called a "dishorn - I dollar" because it contains about fi j cents worth of silver. Now this is al i wrong.

The borough of South Bethlehem. 1 instigated by the spirit of uncharitable i ness and a certain suggestive and pet missive act of assembly, undertook t. apply the protective principle in a sinal way to traders outside of the borougl limits who wished to do business itishn-. A license fee of #3O per month was im posed for the privilege, and a tine of #10 exacted in case the trader should at tempt to do business without bavin obtained a license. A New York firm whose agents sold goods without license and who refused to pay, was sued by th borough for the recovery of the line. Hut in court the borough authorities j struck a snag, iioth the actof assembh and the borough ordinance based upon it were pronounced void as being against the hill of rights, the state constitution and the federal constitution. Within tliis country, at least, trade is free. Regulations intended to limit it by restrictions that are not of general ami equal application cannot stand. The Coopersburg Sentinel tells of a plan adopted by Lehigh county teachers that might well be imitated in some other sections where short school terms prevail. It says: "George W. Kilpatrick. the public school teacher at Centre Valley, held an entertainment on Satur day evening to enable him to teach an extra month. The regular term closed on Friday night. The pupils will not l.e charged tuition next month. An ad mission of io cents was charged for the entertainment. The same experiment was tried at Friedensviile and the sum of 823 was realized for the teacher." "Pity the poor judges of our courts!" exclaims the Ashland Record. "The} can save little out of their salaries rang ing from three to live thousand dollar." per year during a service of twenty years. They must bo pensioned to save them from going to the poor house and so the state legislators are going to retire them on pay. if this scheme bad originated with 11 enry George or Edward Bellamy It would have been immedia tely frowned down as rank socialism." As a warning to all delinquent tax payers, Collector James W. Baldwin, of Spring City, near Philadelphia, lias seiz ed and sold out the personal offects of John Clevenger, whose taxes unpaid amounted to only #O.IO. There's a panic among other delinquents. Shamrock drum corps ball ou Monday. Again Agitating tlis Question of Final Adjournment. THE REDUCED STATE REVENUES, With the Resultant Neglect to Provide for Charities and for the Annual Militia Encampment, Cannes Much Dissatisfac tion Among Educators and Soldier Hoys. fSpccial Correspondence.) HARRISDCUO, April 15.—The legislators have not yet agreed upon the date of final adjournment. Many have grown weary of their duties and are anxious to getaway. A resolution will probably bo offered in the house this evening fixing May 23 for the close of the session. It is thought a compromise will be made on the following Thursday. The last session closed on June 1. The question of the final adjournment was discussed at the conference last Thurs day night, at the executive mansion, be tween t be state's fiscal officers and others to consider the state revenues and appro priations for the next j'.vo years. No date was fixed, hilt it was the unanimous senti ment of the gentlemen that the session should not be extended into June. Beginning this week the senate will ex tend irs sessions an hour on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, beginning at 10 o'clock instead of 11 as heretofore. The senators have manage I to keep up with the house by holdiug one session a day and getting away every Thursday. Tne older mem >ers of that body say it will not be necessary to hold more than one session a day until no ir tin close of the term. By prolonging the sessions an hour each day the son iters expect to clear their caleu lar of all the hills wuioh originated in tiiat body. The house is expected to hold night ses sious beginning tomorrow. The senators insist tnat the house devote more time to senate bills. It has been the rale hereto fore with thd house to drop about 2JO seu ate bills from thucaleudar near the close of the session. The senators are tired of this, arid demand that at least a month be devoted to their bills, or time enougii to dispose ot them. Tne house has set apart this evening for the consideration of seu ule bills on second reading. The House Moves Very Slowly. The lower branch of the legislature is a very deliberate body. L ist \<*oek less than a dozen bills passed finally in the house and not more than a score on second read ing. Few favors will be shown hereafter by either body. Bills which have been in troduced for buncombe and allowed to pass second reading out of courtesy to their sponsor will be accorded no such consideration oil third rea ling. When they come up they will lie killed or post poned indefinitely, another way of dispos ing of them lor all time. The slaughter of sucli lulls will begin tomorrow, and will continue along. The members are convinced thai too much time is being wasted by the house in useless debate over bills of no general interest. There has been more talk by this legislature than at any previous session. Tne time has come to put down the brakes on those loqua cious m mi Purs and got down to work ou the calendar. An effort will bo made during the week to impress the members of tne house more favorably with the tax bill evolved by tlie tax conference alter years of hard labor. C Stuart Patterson, Leonard Rhone and others of the conference will speak in favor of the bill at a bearing in the hall of tlio house tomorrow evening. Some few changes may also be favored, but the most objectionable features are not likely to be eliminated, ami. although the bill will be reported to the house in a few days, it is confidently predicted that it can never be come a law. The farming element will he strongly in favor of it, hut the hill will be defeated because of its inability to provide a sufficient revenue and tne opposition of the manufacturing and other interests. The committees are getting rid of hills under consideration and will soon have their calendars clear, The hearings before committees are about over. None of the revenue bills, about a doz m in ail, put in the house this session have been brought out of committee. A special calendar will have to bo made for tiiese measures and the appropriation bills still in committee. The apportionment bills, except the ju dicinl aportioumcut, which passed tne house and is iu the senate committee, have not yet been brought out. Tne various bills amending the ballot law offered dur ing the winter will be incorporated into one measure for wuioh a special order will be asked. lucre will be plenty of excitement at the state capital during the week. On Wednesday tin state 1)J II icratic commit tee will in ?et uere to select a chairman to succeed ex-Deputy Attorney General Stran ahuti, who declines a re-election. The board of pardons meets tne same day. It is expecteil that the board will dispose of the case of Hi : i F. De.npey, the Pitts burg la >or LO .i o at this SJSSIOU. Deinp soy is serving seven years in the Western penitentiary lor being h chief conspira tor of tiie alleged plot i p sou non-union workmen lu tli > Uurneg. uillh* at Home stea lin ISJJ. li s c,n i uas been pending before the board for several mouths. Ex- General .Mister vVorkmii Po.vderly and other prominent labor advocates have takuu an interest in his uus an l endeav ored to secure his release, However, the chances are against Dunpsey, and it is be lieved he will be refused a pardon. Unless the legislature shall pass some quarantine law speedily the port of Phila delphia will bo left without any state pro tection against the introduction of Euro pean epidemics after July I of the present year. Under the terms of the act of 1*93 the present quarantine station must he abandoned at that time. Provision was made for the purchase of a suitable site by the governor but as no site which would answer the purpose could be secured noth ing was done in the matter, and, with the time for abandoning the site but a little more than two months off, no provision lias yet been made for proper quarantine after July 1. No Ounriintiue Precautlon*. A bill introduced by R jpresentaUve Biias, tj provide merely a quarantine ob s TV. it,ion or hoarding station, and to re turn any infected vessel to the United States station, at Reedy Island, is shelved among the postponed bills on the house second reading calendar. The Penrose bill, introduced at the instance of the state quarantine board, an I which extends for two years the time for using the present station, an.l provid -s for the purchase of Little Tinicuin Island for a permanent kite. has not yet boon reported from com mittee, while Representative Peltz's bill, making the necessary appropriation *ir the Durchase aud equipment of th.e new site, is likely to go down In the general wreck caused by the lack of revenue, j The announcement that the great num ber of institutions which have hereto fore relied upon financial assistance from the state would bo cut off from that j source of supply because of the reduced j income of the commonwealth, carried ' dismay to all those who have learned to depend upon the public treasury in their calculations of the fiscal needs of the hospitals, colleges and charitable un dertakings which so abound iu Pennsyl vania. j Iu Philadelphia, particularly, the news was received with the keenest regret. At i the University of Pennsylvania there is a feeling of disappointment that the sum of $0 JO, 000 which the trustees think is neces sary for the development of the college and hospital is a thing of the far beyond. , Dr. William Pepper, in discussing the j matter, said: j "The University has had previous to this year iu all huts 3 K),000of state money, ; an inconsiderable amount compared to the I help that it lias received from private in j dividuals, but that source cannot continue indefinitely to supply the needs of the in stitution. This year wo have asked for $5J0,000 for the college and #lo>,ooo for the hospital. The mouey was to be used partly for maiutouaueo, hut the greater portion was intended for developing the colltfgo. it was the intention to have ex tended great educational advantages to teachers from all over the state, but what will b3 done in view of the latest develop meat I cannot say. Disastrous Blow to Education. "If the effects of the proposed arrange* mencs are as disastrous to tne worthy in stitutions needing aud seeking state aid, as is stated, I cannot accept the result without the strongest protest. The wealth of the state and its ability to extend proper aid to wortny institutions is undoubted. It seems hard and unwise that the highest interests of tne community, humanitarian aud educational, should suffer so disas trously from a temporary shrinkage in the receipts from taxation. Every con stituency iu the commonwealth has a real and equal interest iu the matter. Ido uot douhc but tunc some stacesin IU'S proposal will be advanced to moot the crisis." It is the soldier boys who since the time when first the brigades inarcued out to triumph ou the bloodless fields of glory have between encampments experienced only pleasant recollection aud joyous an ticipation that are making a vigorous but hopeless kick against tne ti.it of the power.-, j that bo. The prospect of seeing two sum mers pass without being accorded the privilege of reveling in I,he delights oi camp life has cast a chill on tin; most ar dent military spirits, and at Die armories (he unusual statu of affairs was the only topic discussed. The fact that the uuavout able expenses of tiie state amounts lo moiv than its income did not sol'ien the sting of knowing tnat the great military event of tne ye ir would have i -;• for g me. A leading militiaman of Philadelphia, Colonel Wendell P. Bowman, expressed great regret that the legislature could no* provide for Die encampment. He said: "It is a debatable question whether or no. a biennial encampment of two weeks j would not Ihj better than the yearly eu campmeut of one week. At'oil events ii wouid bo cheaper, taking into consider.! tion the cost of trail-.pnriation. in iiij opinion the yearly encampment is prefer able, however, for the men work up for it, aud 1 do not think that it could be omitted without impairing the discipline and perhaps the strungtu of the guard, l'he soldiers are very much like a school boy, who prepares for his yolirly exam.na tion. lie binds ail his energies to the task. If, however, the test of his acquirements were set at intervals of two years the great length of time might make him think: 'Well, I have plenty of time,' and so de lude himself, so that when the tune came he would be unprepared. The Militiamen Disgruntled. "No work iu the armory can make up for the loss of work iu the field. Under the canvas the boys get a taste of real soldier life that nothing else cau give them. "The loss of the encampment will have a demoralizing effect ou the men, 1 am afraid. Of course, if they do not have the money, why then they can't do anything, I suppose. The men might stand the loss of an encampment for a year, 1 suppose." The reduced revenues of the state will also have an important bearing ou many bills now pending iu either the house or the senate. One of the first effects will be to still further lessou the chances of tiie passage of the judges' retirement bill. To the country members the mere suggestion of a reduction of a million dollars in Die school appropriation is like waving a red flag before an euraged bull, and to couple that necessity with a request to vote for a measure which will still further increase the fixed charges of the department cau , have but one result, especially as many of the members regard the bill as one in tended mainly to benefit Philadelphia and a few others of the more populous custom couuties.

A House Robbed of Clothing; and Food Near Wappingcrs' Falls. Poughkeepsie, N. Y., April 15.—The capture of Michael O'Donnell and Patrick McGuit-e yesterday morning has caused no little consternation in this vicinity. Thursday night entrance was forced into the residence of Emil Schoenleld, at Hnghsonville, near Wappingers' Falls, and some clothing and food were stolen. One of the perpetrators left behind a pair of socks, which were identified as Perry's, and two pine strips which he had used as wooden shoes.

The J police mude a search, hut no clue could be found. All of the prisoners have been retaken with the exception of Perry.

THEY WILL BOOM CRISP Georgia Democrats' Choice for the Presidency. They Have Secured the Opinion of I.Ctfal Lights That the ex-Speaker Is Not Barred on Account of Hav ing Been Born In England—lt Is Said He Does Not Share In the View Washington, April 15.—A special from Atlanta, Ga., received in this city, says: "Speaker Crisp is being freely talked of among Georgia democratic politicians as an available candidate for the presiden tial nomination. That the subject has been carefully discussed among Mr. Crisp's associates, if not in bis very pres ence, is beyond question. Perhaps the most striking testimony is the fact that Mr. Crisp has had the question of his eligibility carefully examined by such legal lights as would secure him from trouble on that score. Mr. Crisp, it happens, was born in England, of Amer ican parentage, his father and mother having been members of a theatrical company. "When he was elected to the speaker ship there were those who predicted for him promotion to the white house. The fact of his foreign birth then came up, and it was recollected that iu 1872, whe i the democrats desired to run General Meade against General Grant that the debate was dropped upon the suggestion that Meade had been born in Spain. But times change as well as men, and Mr. Crisp is now in possession of satisfactory legal opinions that he is entirely eligible, and that the only question ahead is that of availability. There is hardly a doubt but that the Georgia delegation to the next national democratic convention will preseut the name of Charles F. Crisp for the presidency." The statements in this Atlanta dispatch differ materially from the views ex pressed by Speaker Crisp's friends here. They assert that Judge Crisp is clearly convinced that ho is barred from eligi bility to the presidency by reason of his foreign birth, and the option thus con ferred upon him of selecting another nationality, had he so chosen. Article 11., Section 1, of the constitution of the United States provides that "No person except a natural born citizen, or a citi zen of the United States at the time of the adoption of this constitution, shall be eligible to the office of president." No recognized constitutional lawyer has ever placed himself on record as holding otherwise than that the presi dent of the United States must be an American citizen born on American soil. Speaker Crisp himself, iu the most ' significant manner, has given his adher ence to this construction of the constitu tion, and iu such a manner as to indicate that he felt its full significance. At the close of the Fifty-third congress, in responding to the vote of thanks ten dered him by his associates of the house of representatives, he said, with a dis tinct emphasis, the import of which was thoroughly understood: "Never in my life, no matter what may be its future, can I expect to attain to so high an office as that which I owe to your kindness, to your consideration, to your partiality." Everyone who heard that declaration in terpreted it to mean that Speaker Crisp regarded himself as constitutionally de barred as a presidential candidate. JAMES T>WIGHT DANA DEAD. Sudden Death of the Editor, Author and Scientist at New Haven. New Haven, April lf>.—James Dwight Dana, editor, author and scientist, and professor in Yale university, died at his home here shortly after 10 o'clock last night.
