ARBOR DAYS.
The Governor has fixed the dnys
to bo observed as Arbor dnys April
9th and 23, but trees planted nt nny
other time in the spring will thrive
and grow. It is well however that
schools should have a uniform time
and make preparation for the oc
casion. The exercises can be ninde
very interesting and instructive,
and from an educational stand point
alone the day is worthy of obser
vance. If the importance of mak
ing an effort to adorn and Ijeautify
their surroundings by planting
trees and keeping school grounds in
a neat and attractive manner could
also be impressed on the minds of
directors it would not be a lesson
thrown away. There is no reason
why a child should not Ijo instructed
in, and taught the value of, neatness
and order, and also the fact that a
well adorned, well kept and hand
some school ground is an evidence
of a higher civilization, and a mark
of refinement in the community.
Nothing renders a home so attrac
tive in appearance as pleasant shade
and a neat lawn with flowers scat
tered here and there over it. Most
children are destructive in such
mntters, and the vandal instinct is
uppermost. Culture as to attractive
appearauoes and instilling by ex
ample as well as precept ft habit of
thrift and order in surroundings,
might be of inestimable aid in their
journey to success. If in future
years the child then a grown man
or woman returns to the scenes of
childhood, and visits the old school
ground nothing would awaken a
train of thought loading to the fond
est associations, like a stately tree
which the youthful hand aided to
plant.
We rise up and call those blessed
who planted our orchards, and the
familiar trees standing around the
home of our childhood. They read
ily recall scenes and incidents long
past, and forms and faces now rest
ing in some quiet churchyard again
poople the ypot in imagination.
These trees are landmarks linking us
to the past, they were our boyhood
friends, and they are the mnemonic
which people the memory with
happy events long covered by the
dust aDd ashes of manhoods strug
gles successes and failures. Plant
trees they will remain your stead
fuwt friends.
HOW WILL, THE WOMEN VOTE V
The Legislature of New York has
before it a bill to protect the snug
birds from slaughter. There is a
movement in ssveral HtaU-s to try
and arouse public opinion against
the destruction of such birds und if
possible to make it a punishable of
fense. For a number of years the fashion
among women of wearing feathers
or parts of birds on their hats has
caused the death of many a songster,
and although much' has been said
against it ho rage shows no sign
of diminishing, nnd prolwbly w 11
not unless the present movement
prevails, until the birds are all dead.
There are imported into England
yearly about thirty millions of birds
to be used for ornamenting hits.
No one can estimate the miinb. r
killed there. Naturally the more
goyfy plumaged birds are the fav
orites for this purpose, and as they
are mainly found in warmer clim
ates, the work of destroying birds
goes on there even at a much greater
rate than here. The aigrette, worn
by the heron in the brooding son son
only, is a great favorite with ladies.
Every feather means that some
m )ther bird has died and her brood
of little ones been left to starve.
She niut bo a highly sensitive girl
or woman who can gaily nod the
Illume with n knowledge of this
fact. As the birds decrease natur
ally the insects, worms and bugs in
crease, and it has frequently bot n
remarked of late that these pests and
nuisances were multiplying at a
rapid rate. The remedy is "don't
kill the birds, the pretty birds,"
and if women would with one cc
cord taboo tho fashion of wearing
plumes on their bonnets and sub
stitute some article manufactured
by women they might aid some
starving families instead of aiding
t) starve many helpless little
broods.
THE COINAGE QUESTION.
Mr. Bryan has said in recent
speeches and in his book that the
silver agitation must bo kept to the
front and the battle fought over
again in 1900. This is well. If the
matter of free coinage at the ratio
of 16 to 1 is not fully understood it
ought to be by the people. The
next four years will be a good time
in which to discuss the subject in a
dispassionate and reasonable man
ner. Whatever is best for the peo
pie should be obtained by them.
They have tho matter in their own
hands, and are to the extent of say
ing what they want tho arbiters in
the matter. We have therefore
concluded to give the readers of the
Press from time to time articles on
the subject of coinage, which may
bo useful in enabling them to form
stable opinions and weigh the sub
ject in its various aspects and rela
tions to their best interests.
Carbon county Democrats are
brooding over "harmony," of course
and dreaming out lot of ways "to
get together for 1900," nnd yet, with
all this brooding and dreaming going
on. it is only necessary for one
factionist in order to fill tho Carbon
air with gnashing teeth, flying froth,
bowie-knives, razors, revolvers and
other grissly hereditaments and ap
purtenances of the grimmest of
grim visngod war. One faction is
inconsoiuuio over tne last electioi
Another faction is implacable to all
its opponents. The indications nre
that, if tho local factions over do
"got together," it will be a "get to
gether" with war and slaughter
trimmings. Coal Gazette.
A bill has been introduced in the
Legislature to abolish the conferrco
system of making nominations,
which ought to become a law. The
workings of this method have here
tofore defeated more good nomina
tions, split more parties, and
brought more corruption in politics
than any other kind of election.

Iteeord Breaking Session Frolmhle.
(Speclnl Correspondence.)
HarrlsburR-, March 23 The record of
the legislature at this period of the ses
slonls 743 bills Introduced In bothhous"
and 2R4 petitions presented praying fer
all sorts of legislation. Of the bills In
troduced Into the house 2S9 are out of
committee nnd on the calendar, and 209
hills have reached the governor, and
three of the house bills have been
signed by him and become a law.
One of these Is known as house bill
No. 12, which provides for the classl
llcatlon of real estate and other prop
erly for purposes of taxation and elec
tion of assessors In cities of second
class for not more than five nor less
than three assessors: also bouse bill
No. 4, providing for the election of
prnthonotaries, recorders and registers
and the manner of filling such olllces
In case of death or vacancy, and house
hill No. 20, authorizing the burgess and
town council of the borough of Kharps
buig, Allegheny county, to levy a tax
not exceeding 16 mills on the dollar on
the assessed county valuation for the
year. Among those now In the hands
of the governor which have not
been approved, as they but recently
came Into bis hsnds. Is an act author
izing the courts of (uarter sessions to
declare the seats of councllmen va
cant when they fall to organize for ten
days. A number' of bills which have
passed the house and senate have been
sent to the governor thlB week.
There has been verv considerable
work done during the past week, and
the majority of the bills on the cal
endar have been disposed of on second
and third reading, and with the same
Industry expended during this week
they will have a number of bills ready
for the governor's consideration.
fight AgHliint the I'ool nil I.
What Is known as the pool bill, which
was Introduced In the senate some
time ago and reported from commit
tee, was pushed forward last week, so
as to pass third reading by a vote of
29 to 13. It gives six months' license
lo the race track gamblers, to Inaugu
rate a feature that will, according to
Its opponents, be productive of more
evil and do more to demoralize society
than almost anything else that could
be named. If It should pass the senate
the house will, by a good majority, kill
It. It Is, they say a bill that should
be protested against by all good think
ing people, to prevent, If possible, the
Inauguration of pool racing and other
forms of gambling In Pennsylvania.
Among the resolutions offered dur
ing tha week was one asking for an
Investigation of the repairing of Grace
church, the building now occupied by
both branches of the legislature. In
this resolution It was charged that the
state paid for thousands of feet of
lumber that was never used, and that
In some Instances the price charged
for the lumber was $55 per thousand,
when It Is claimed that the same lum
ber could be purchased at $15 per
thousand. Investigations have become
so frequent and unpopular that the
house decided to dispose of this case
by referring It to the public buildings
and grounds committee. This will be
taken up during this week, and an ef
fort made to ascertain If there has
been any fraud perpetrated.
Among the features that have de
veloped since my last letter In legis
lative circles were the Introduction of
three more reform bills In the house
and senate. These prohibit city olll
clals and corporations from Interfer
ing In politics, prevent political assess
ments and compel every man to pay
his own taxes. The punishment In
the political assessment bill Is a fine
of $500 or one year In prison, and In
that In relation to the payment of
taxes for another person than the elec
tor against whom the tax has been
assessed the punishment Is a line of
$000 or six months' imprisonment.
The elvll service reform bill, which
applies only to the counties of Phila
delphia. Allegheny. Schuylkill and Lii
serne, passed the senute within the
past few days. This bill will meet with
considerable opposition In the house,
as It la denounced by those who are
opposed to It as unjust and unfair,
and capable of being manipulated by
the bosses.
The house bill authorizing the su
perintendent of public Instruction to
furnish every school In Pennsylvania
with a copy of Stnull's Legislative
Handbook, after a spirited debate,
passed finally by a vote of 108 to 65.
The Amended I'apltol Bill.
The house bill providing that the
material lined -In the construction of
the proposed cnpltol building shall beT
furnished by Pennsylvania firms and
corporations, and that none but cltl
xens of Pennsylvania be employed in
the construction of the building, was
amended by striking out the word
Pennsylvania and substituting In Its
stead "United plates." and will now
no douht pass both houses In Its pres
ent form. In the discussion of this
measure the opposition to Governor
Hastings' plan to construct a new
capltol building at a cost of $.".50,000
took advantage of this occasion to de
nounce the absurdity of his estimate.
There seems to be a disposition to pro
long the settlement of the construction
of a new capltol building, although
a resolution was offered recently to
that effect. Something should be done
very soon to pass a bill designating
the kind of a capltol to he built, and
the cost, so as to have It completed
and ready fur use by the next legis
lature. Among the bills that passed the
houne finally waB one for the protec
tion of pub'lc school houses and other
buildings urd and occupied for public
school purposes, outbuildings thereof
and public property; authorizing
courts of common pleas to direct and
decree the sale of real estate of In
solvent debtors by their assignees for
the payment of debt and the dis
charge by such sales of the right of
dower by hlch such real estate Is or
may be rl.arged or encumbered; ti
prevent the adulteration of vinegar:
endowing the trustees of hospitals
and asylums under the control of tha
commonwealth with corporate powers.
The bill Introduced to legislate the
state board of agriculture out of ex
istence met with overwhelming defeat
In the house, it was contended by the
very few friends of the measure that
aa the state had a department of agri
culture a stale board was unnecessary.
Among Hie bills which paaaed finally
In the senate recently were: Prevent
ing employers of labor from discrimi
nating against any employed because
they are members of any labor unioue;
BALKS AT
Xn a !
preventing 'mud In the palp of trans
oceanic paspflpe receipts, orders or
tickets, and for other .purr-opes; pro
viding for the payment of mileage to
poor directors; authorizing the cllf"s
of the commonwealth to purchase, ac
quire, take, use and appropriate pri
vate properties for public park pur
poses; extending for a further period
of five years the time during which
corporations Incorporated and exist
ing under the laws of any other pta'e
arc authorized to hold real estate here
tofore purchased at Pherlffs or
other Judicial sales; to provide for the
payment of costs of prosecutions In
misdemeanors and surety of the peace
cases by the person or persons on
whom such costs may be Imposed, and
to provide for the punishment of pxvh
persons and the payment of such conts
In default; to equalize the levy and col
lection of assessments for local im
provements In boroughs and cities of
the state, except in nYt class cities;
creating the office of county solicitor
In counties having a population of
150,000; to proviri that one burial per

any cemetery or burial ground located
within the county In which said per
mit Is Issued; increasing the number
of common plens courts in Philadel
phia by the addition of another court,
to be called common picas court No. 5.
Dr. Swallow Willing to Mft Clmrte.
The senate determined to cause the
arrest of Ir. Swallow and bring him
before the bar of the senate for alleged
contempt in refusing to give Informa
tion respecting the capltol fire, and had
arranged for a special meeting for his
hearing, but the sergeant -at-arms, In
whose hands Lieutenant Governor Ly
ons placed the warrant for his arrr-st,
reported that he had failed to find
his man. Dr. Swallow called on
the lieutenant governor, however, the
same evening and said that he was
not seeking to avoid arrest, and would
be on hand whenever it was found
desirable. Thpy have deferred his hear
ing, however, until the 22d of the
month, but Inasmuch as the trial of
Dr. Swallow Is now going on, It is
doubtful If they will require him to
leave the court untii his trial is over.
The bill to create a state board of
horseshoe examiners, which was 'de
feated a few days ago, was brought up
again for reconsideration and was con
sidered. A very lively debate followed.
A number of speeches were made In
opposition, and it was claimed It would
increase the price of horeshoeing, and
that now was no time Ut Increase the
expenses of farmers. The bill was in
definitely postponed. It is very doubt
ful If this bill is again resurrected dur
ing this ser-'on.
A large delegation of the fish and
game committee of the senate and
house, and of the state fish commis
sion, made an official inspection of the
Allentown hatching station a few days
ago. The purpose of this Inspection
was In order that the members of the
legislature might have a more intel
ligent Idea of the trout work of the
commissioners, and to ascertain the
need for extending the capacity of the
hatching houses, and of the expedi
ency of purchasing the property, or In
lieu of that, another. The visiting
members expressed themselves as very
greatly pleased at the character of the
work being done, and unanimously di
vided that Is was absolutely necessary
that the state should either purchase
the property now held under lease or,
falling to agree with the owners on
a reasonable price, to locate elsewhere,
and erect large hatching houses, Tha
dilapidated character of the hatching
houses made prompt action necessary.
I'ropfMml to The IMcjcltt.
Among the bills to be Introduced
within the pant few days was one to
put a tax on each bicycle in the state,
of course excepting those In the hanris
of dealers or manufacturers, of one
dollar per annum, to be paid into the
state treasury for the Improvement of
roads In the state. It is believed by
the friends of this bill that a very
considerable revenue can be derived
from this law, which will greatly as
sist In the Inauguration of great im
provements to the public roads of the
state. Bt-nate bill tN. , which pro
vides fjpr an improvement of the public
roads of the sate, has benn reported
from committee, and will no doubt puss
the senate soon.
In order to relieve the country dis
tricts from double registration a lull
has been introduced to amend the
constitution so as to enable the legis
lature to pass the civil rcgUt ration
for city andjCountry districts.
The bill providing for the printing,
making and compiling of a war text
book history, under the supervision of
the Grand Army of the Republic, and
to be used in the public schools of this
commonwealth, and making an appro
priation therefor of is to b
framed by a "war text commission, ,r
to be composed of ton of th leading
Grand Army men of the state.
The bill to reduce the salaries of
mining Inspectors of the anthracite
coal regions from t'i 0o0 per annum to
to $2,000 was the occasion of a vtry
lively debate, but the house agreed to
the bill on second reading. This wlti
put the mine inspectors in the bitumi
nous regions on an equality with those
In the anthracite districts.
Another bill that has some assur
ance of becoming a law, at least as
far as the house is concerned. Is the
amendment to the fee bill of lyX Tins
provides for the fees charged by con
stables, while the fish and game com
mission bill, which passed the house
finally, and the bill providing for a
Bute forestry reservation also have
very fHir prospects of becoming laws,
as well aa the nu-asurt making it a

SCAKCITY OF MONEY.

have no money.

able fcpeecli by V, E. Ilodgo Tells New
York Chamber of Commerce What
Canned Bryan's Rig Vote A Had Car
Teocy System Farmers Have Real (Iter
ances Must He Attended to Ucfore 1900.
Mr. W. E. Dodge, one cf New York's
most enterprising and philanthropic,
business man, y,na n delopnte from the
New York chamber of commerce lo the
bnsiiicxs mcu's sound money conven
tion which met recently at Iudiiuitipnlia.
Ho was a Member of the executive com
mittee of the. Indiumipolig convention.
A short time after lie wns chairman of
the arbitration committee, nt Washing
ton. In both capacities lie had excellent
opportunities for meeting representa
tives from different states. The follow
ing is a psirt of his somewhat remark
able speech before tho chamber of com
niereewlien submitting his report of the
Indianapolis monetary convention:
"I was surprised, sir, to find the as
sertion made constantly by men from
the far western states and the south and
southwestern states that it was not Mr.
Bryan and it was not silver that they
were in favor of, but they needed somo
chango to bring relief from the terrible,
condition of poverty and scarcity of
money nuder which they labored They
felt that their condition was so extreme
and so painful that any change wonld
bo of value, and when I came to look
Into tho matter and to talk in a friendly
and kindly way with them they all
confirmed the same feeling, which I had
found at a long conversation in the
treasury department, in Washington,
that the circnlation of the country is
nite out of joint, that the lungs nnd
heart are congested and that the ex
tremities of tho country are absolutely
without any blood.
"Ifound that tliere were great sections
of tho southern nnd western country
where there was absolutely no money at
all, where tho most primitive forms of
barter obtained, whero everything was
most disorganized. One gentleman told
mo that in his county, which was quito
a rich agricultural country, by somo
happy accident a $.10 bank bill had
come down into the county, nnd that he
had taken a horse e-d buggy and spent
four days in visiting all the towns in
the county striving to get it changed
into smaller bills, but had been unable
to do so, nnd finally was obliged to send
it to Richmond. There were senators
who told me that their constituents
uover saw a dollar of money from the
beginning cf the year to the end, with
the result that they had constantly to go
into debt to tho local storekeepers. Tiie
local storekeepers! received their pay in
kind. In fact, everything was drifting
back to the old times before money was
invented. This was not in one section of
the country only, but in large sections.
"Wo can quite easily understand that
where there is not sufficient money to
establish a national bank under the
very onerous laws at prefteut in force
there is nothing else to take the place.
The same difficulty has come up in other
parts of the world. In Austria and Hun
gary, in southern Germany and in south
ern France these difficulties were under
stood and appreciated years ago, and
agricultural banks have been founded
there, and they have doubled the valuo
of real estate, and they have made tho
peasantry aud the farmers rich and
prosjierous.
"The same thing has taken place it
Scotland, as many of our frieud3 know.
Every town in .rotland with over 1,000
people h ho a brain h bank of some one of
t he great banks of id I in burgh or Ulasgow.
A man of good character who wants to
fit out a fishing smack or buy anything
for his farm is able to go there, and if
his credit is good he is able to borrow
money us cheaply as any merchant could.
It has a double t fleet. It is not only
giving to those neighborhoods the money
that they actually need, but it is edu
cating the people in thrift and prompt
ness. I have talked with a great many
of my banking friends, who say that the
w hole thing depends upon the charaetu
of the people; that the people are specu
lative aud that nothing can be done foi
them. My impression is that if some
thoughtful plan could bo suggested it
would bo quite possible to educate all
the agricultural people of the country tc
understand that a man who is thrifty
aud hom st and sober and prompt can al
ways iu Mime way get some money. It

of greenbacks, and with every otho;

and overlap each other, and the bnslness
of thn treasury is exceedingly hard and

"I enme away from Indianapolis with

it so deeply Dint unless those of us in
