THE JONAH MATTER.
Dr. Lyman Abbott in the current
issue of " The Outlook " defends his
rejection of the historical accuracy
of what he calls the "Jonah story" :
He says the parable of the trees in
Judges IX is not treated irreverently
because it is seen to be a satire on
the political folly of the men of
Bhechem and that therefore it is not
irreverence to see in the story of Jo
nah and the great Bsh a satire on
the narrowness of certain Judaistic
teachers of the second or third cen
tury before Christ, and an exposi
tion, in contrast of the "widoness of
God's meroy like the wideness of
the sea."
Dr. Buckley, editor of the "Chris
tian Advocate" declares that Dr.
Abbott's defense is inadequate, and
that Jotham had no standing as a
prophet, and plainly uttered a sa
tirical fable, while Jonah was recog
nized elsewhere in the Old Testa
ment, and by Jesus both in Matt
hew and Luke, as a prophet of high
order. Jonah did not wish to go on
the mission imposed on him, and
was not fully aware that the Ood of
the Hebrews was the God of the
whole universe and fancied that he
could escape. This miracle was
wrought to teach him that the He
brews God "is the Most High." Dr.
George Dana Boardman, of Phila
delphia, believes that it is a divine
parable, and parables are the highest
forms of truth.
Rev. Dr. Thos. A. Hoyt says it is
curious to notice how completely
Dr. Abbott is in accord with the
old and avowed infidel Tom Paine
who said one hundred years ago that
the Book of Jonah was written as a
fable to expose the nonsense and sa-
torize the vicious character of a
Bible prophet and a malignant
priest. Ingersoll and Abbott both
hold up the incident to ridicule and
they as well as their infidel allies
seem incapable of compiohending
the import of the story.
Rev. Samuel Thomas, editor of
the Methodist, says, it is an histori
cal fable that we are not supposed
to be able to understand any more
than we are able to understand all
elss that has been said and done as it
is reported in the Scriptures.
THE BLINDER.
A Chicago paper is very sensibly
urging drivers of horses to dispense
with blinders. This practice has
been long in use, but it is difficult to
find a good reason for its continu
ance. Why a horse should be pre
vented from seeing what he might
kDow to be harmless, by having
these pieces of leather so adjusted
that his 'vision is obscured as to
everything except that which lies
directly in his path is hard to under
stand. His ears tell him of noises
which, he cannot see, and without
the reasoning capacity of man, he
naturally attempts to get away
from them, or by an elevation of
his head he catches a glimpse of
some object behind him as an um
brella, a carriage top, or it may be a
tree, is startled and springs forward
and a careless, or norvous.or incom
potent driver completes the run
away. If the horse was left free to
observe objects as he pauses along
he would become aeouskmied to
them, and instead of shying or
springing forward would know that
he was in no danger. Let a man, a
bicyclo rider, for instance, have his
head so fastened, and blinders ad
justed to his eyes so that it would
be impossible for him to look
around and ascertain the causes of
noises, or see objects until He came
immediately on them and he would
behave worse than a horse.
If blinders were abolished and
horses accustomed from breaking
to be driven without them there
would bo fewer runaway or skittish
horsos, and even after a horse has
been broken with blinders they can
with but little care bo trained to go
without them. The fashion of us
ing them has decreased to a consid
erable extent, but they are still
largely in vogue, to the detriment of
safety in driving, and perhaps posi
tive injury to the eyesight of the
horse. They certainly force him to
greater capacity or faith then a man
is willing to trust to himself.
CAPITOL REMOVAL.
If those who are agitating the re
moval of the Capital from Harris
burg really want to benefit the
state, the legislature, and humanity
generally, we suggest that the Capi
tal bo removed to some spot whore
there are no buildings, we can find
such a place in this county', or, Mon
roe, or perhaps in the central part ot
the state, let the state buy 1000
square acres and provide by law
that no buildings shall be erected
thereon, except the neccessnry ones
for the meeting of the Legislature,
executive offices a laundry, and
boarding house for members. Pro
hibit all kinds of liquor and card
playing on the state grounds, and if
the sessions are not shorter and if
there will not be less scramble for
the offices, and if the general morale
of that destinguished body the Leg
islature of Pennsylvania is not
greatly improved the Press will
miss its guess.
TO ABOLISH CONVICT LABOR
A sweeping measure to abolish
convict labor, accomplished by the
aid of machinery, will be introduced
in the Legislature, at an early date.
It will also place all county prisons
under state control, and all expen
ses will bo assumed by tho state.
Five citizens of each county who
will serve without pay will be ap
pointed by tho Governor as prison
inspectors for the county, who will
serve for three years, and have con
trol of the prison and prisoners, and
shall hire and discharge all em
ployees.
Turkey is in considerable Greece,
and probably before the racket ends
will be most thoroughly done. King
George displays a plucky determina
tion to carry out his purposes, and
it appears as if the powers would
not seriously interfere.

Cost of Deckertown Water Works.
Deckortown's wuter commission
ers reported the cost ot the water
works to the council on Wodnesday
night. The report shows the cost to
have been $26,000, and the assured
water rents for the next year 1800,
with enough applications for trps to
increase that amount to 11,000, at
least, if not a larger amount.

tSpeelnl Correspondence.) j
Harrlsburg, Feb. 22. There seems to
be a unanimity of opinion among the
members that (governor Hastings' plan
of erecting several buildings for the
legislature and departments is a most
wise one. It Is generally recognized
that there should be five different
buildings: One for the department of i
Internal affairs; one to provide ade
quate quarters for the auditor general
and state treasurer; a capltol or leg
islative bulldlnpr: a structure for use of
agriculture, education, forestry, bank
ing Insurance and other sub-divisions,
nd the fifth mlsht be used 111 the na
ture of a museum to contain battle
flags, ornithological and other collec
tions, a representation of the mineral
elements of the various counties, and
part of which might be rr4 es cham
bers for supreme and s iperlor courts
and the state boards vh1Vii are re
quired to meet here. This could be
ide to harmonize with each other
by being grouped In architectural ef
fect. The buildings which remain are
not fire proof, but are largely con
structed of combustible material, and
are Inadequate to the requirements of
the departments now in use, so that It
would be economy In the end to con
struct a number of buildings, and this
done In reference to the demands of
the state for the next century.
A Million Should linlld the Capitol.
The adoption of this plan would en
able the state to begin In the early
spring to construct a capltol building,
and thus have ample time for its com
pletion for the use of the legislature
two years hence. The other buildings
could be erected after the capltol build
ing was finished In the order of their
greatest necessltv. For the capltol
building It Is thought, considering that
It is to be used for no other purpose,
and hence a large building is unneces
sary, that 1.000,000 would be ample to
expend for that purpose. Despite the
opinion given by Attorney General Mc
Cormick, declaring It to be unconsti
tutional to bond the state to raise
funds with which to erect the new
buildings, there are some who favor
stretching the constitution at this
Juncture and refer to Jefferson's decla
ration, that he had stretched the con
stitution In an emergency until It had
cracked and the people had approved
of the act, and it Is thought that In
this movement the people will also ap
prove the act.
It would be a great disgrace, how
ever, for the state of Pensylvanla to
attempt to adopt measures that would
violate the constitution In the least.
It has too many resources sufficient to
construct the new caDltol without a
resort to violating the constitution to
accomplish what Is necessary. The
agitating of this subject within the
last few days has brought the Bliss
bill, recently Introduced, Into great
favor, Imposing a tax on all ale, beer
or porter brewed In the state during
the ensuing three years, and also put
ting a tax of one mill on each dollar
of the actual value of the capital stock,
one mill on each dollar of all gross re
ceipts subjected to taxation. One mill on
each dollar on the value of all personal
properly. Two per cent upon the gross
premium collected by Insurance com
panies, etc. It is thought that this
measure will be passed, and If enacted
will enable the state to greatly aug
ment its revenues.
To Froteet the FUh Supply.
The special features that character
ized the session of the house at its
last meeting was the Introduction of a
number of bills, among the most Im
portant of which was one to define
which are game fish and fish commer
cially valuable for food, and regu
lates their catching and encourages
their propagation. It also protects the
waters from wasteful and Improper
fishing. This act will wipe out all
the existing fish laws of the state. The
fish that would receive protection are
salmon, brook, rainbow, California,
brown, lake and salmon trout, and all
other forms of salmon, of food fishes,
black rock, strawberry, striped, calico,
grass, green and white bass, sunfish,
pike, perch, walleyed pike, pickerel,
muscolange, designated as gams fish;'
also shad, white llsh. lake herring,
sturgeon, classified as food fish
Henceforth it shall be unlawful to
catch with outlines or setllnes, or fish
for any game fish except with rod,
hook or line. A resolution which was
reported to the house from the federal
relations committee and unanimously
adopted requests the senators and rep
resentatives In congress from Penn
sylvania to earnestly forward any
movement toward a speedy end to the
conflict In Cuba, and In remembrance
of the generous aid and support
we received more than a century ago.
to urge the ight of the people of Cuba
a government by and for themselves,
This was passed and has since been
approved by the governor.
The final passage of bills was reach
ed for the first time prior to adjourn
ment, and the first one to pass was
the first one Introduced at this ses
sion, which provides that coroners shall
have the same fee and mileage when
they have been called and viewed a
body, but decide that no Inquest Is
necessary, as when an Inquest is held.
The Antl-Tlieater Hat Bill.
The bill prohibiting the wearing of
hats, bonnets or other coverings for
the bead which will obstruct the view
of any public entertainment to which
an admission fee Is charged passed sec
ond reading, and is likely to be one of
the first to become a law.
The dairy and food commission are
by no means disturbed over the In
vestigation of their department, grow
ing out of the charges made by Mr.
Hosaek, of Allegheny, charging 600.000
pounds ot oleomargarine Is sold month
ly In Pittsburg, and that certain offi
cers of the department neglect and re
fuse to prosecute violators of the oleo
margarine act, claiming also that cer
tain dealers In this product pay to
officers and agents of others for this de
partment one cent per pound for all
they are permitted to sell in violation
of the oleomargarine act, which was
referred to an investigating committee.
The officers of this department feel
that an Investigation will enable them
to show the Importance of this branch,
what they have accompliMhed and ex
pect to realize In the future. They feel
they are prepared to show that their
entire work has been above suspicion
and in the Interests of the state, and
sty if they are given an opportunity
to fhuw what they hate done, they can
convince the Invest Icntors that their
department Is properly conducted.
The Investigation of the state treas
ury by the committee of the legisla
ture, of which Senator Pnydcr, of
Chester, In chairman, has begun work.
They have outlined their work to have
the InvestlKatlon pushed rapidly after
their tomorrow's meeting. There Is
not likely much to be developed from
this Investigation, and the state might
as well have been spared the expense.
Oppotilng a Capital tlulhllng Commission
The report that a movement had
been started to create a commission to
have charge of the erection of the new
capltol Is still persistently denied. It
has had a wholesome effect, however,
and has awakened the opposing fac
tions to be more watchful of each
other's operations. 'With the Keptibll
can forces divided and the Democrats
on the alert for political capital there
should be no Job or scheme allowed to
develop In the construction of the new
buildings.
A headquarters has been established
in this city of the Pennsylvania branch
of the National League of Business
Men. This Is to be the rendezvous of
what is known ns the "seventy-six,"
the members of the legislature who
voted for Wanamaker for United
Btates senator, and who claim they are
gaining in numlfrs and strength.
The visit of Fenator Quay in Har
rlsburg this week. It is believed. Is for
the purpose of looking after the re
form measures he Is advocating.
From present Indications this prom
ises to he the longest session the Penn
sylvania bglrilature has had In many
years. There are now over 700 bills to
act on by the various committees, and
there are likely to be more to follow.
Then there are arrangements to be
made for the construction of the new
building, the regular routine of work
to be accomplished, and a beginning
scarcely made In the work of either
house. This Is the situation after al
most two months' time has elapsed.
Of course, there has been much to con
tend with during this session, but un
less there Is more active and persist
ent work done during the remainder
of the session there cannot be much
accomplished.
The first week In March will be presi
dential Inauguration week, and ad
journment will be In order, and in that
event there will be little accomplished
during that week, so that the middle
of March will be here and more than
half of the Besslon consumed and the
greater part of the work remaining to
be done.
The Coining Agricultural Congress.
O. CI. Hutchinson, chairman of the
commltttee of arrangements for the
great agricultural congress of farmers,
under the auspices of the National
Grange of the United States, which Is
to convene In Harrlsburg next fall,
and which will occupy in all about ten
days. Is at present making arrange
ments to entertain one of the most
Important and Interesting conventions
of agriculturists ever held in this
country. There will be at this meeting
representatives from alt parts of the
country.
State Treasurer Haywood Is now en
gaged In preparing a statement of the
state's receipts and expenditures since
1810, and the grand total will be up
wards of $100,000,000. He estimates the
net receipts of the present year avail
able for appropriations are $9, 768, 829,
while the estimated expenditures ag
gregate $13,3:17.344.42 for the general
fund, and $275,371.50 sinking fund. This
estimate does not Include the cost of
fitting up the temporary quarters of
the legislature and the building of a
new capltol.1 t
There Is a strong sentiment develop
ing nmong the members of the im
portance of passing the bill requiring
Interest to be paid on state deposits.
Speaker Hoyer, who served a term as
state treasurer, Is In favor of the pas
sage of this measure.
Interest on State Funds.
The Quay leaders have recently been
investigating the governors or state
treasurers of the most prominent states
In the Union as to whether their states
receive Interest on deposits, and If the
system was satisfactory. There have
been answers received up to this time
from 24 states. Of the 24 states heard
from 14 reoort receiving Interest on
their deposits of from to 3 per cent.
Six of the number deposited in banks,
and, like Pennsylvania, received no In
terest, and four kept their money In
the state treasury. The states that re
port receiving interest claim that the
system was satisfactory, except In
Wisconsin, where the responsibility Is
divided between Ihe state treasurer
and the banks.
Itepresentative Holies, of Philadel
phia, chairman of the ways and means
committee, to which Ihe bill requiring
the payment of Interest on state funds
has jeen referred. Is now very confi
dent that there Is no doubt of the
passage of this bill, and It is now only
a matter of arranging the details of
the measure, and If these are satisfac
tory there will be scarcely a single
vote against It.
The committee appointed at the
Philadelphia meeting of the Insurance
companies, which had Insurance on the
capltol building and the contents, have
settled for (he Insurance. The esti
mated loss on the building was $378,
000 and the Insurance was $100,000, car
ried by. 17 companies. The estimated
loss on the contents was $252,000, and
Ihe Insurance carried by 87 companies
was $98,750. Including $2,000 on the old
clock. The entire amount will be paid
at once.
The Introduction of a series of bills
that would carry out Governor Hast
ings' propositions, as contained In his
recent annual message, relating to In
sane hospitals and overcrowded penal
institutions, will be completed this
week by the presentation of a bill to
relieve the pressure upon the peniten
tiaries. The executive recommendations
already complied with are seen In the
recently Introduced bills, one being the
project for a hospital for the criminal
Insane, the bill having been prepared
In accordance with Judge James Gay
Guidon's Ideas.
To Fight the Standard Oil Irut,
Pitthhi'Hg, Feb. 24. The consolidation
of the I'nited States Pipe Line company,
the Producers' and Kulinors' Pipe Line
company, the Producers' Oil company,
