Our neighbor lust week took oc casion to say tbat "some ill think ing self praising persons in tho vill Bge hatched the report some tiir.e ago that the young men of our town council were responsible, through their extravagance for this indebted ness," and it proceeds to com pari sous, which do not compare. In 1895 the article says the council ex p3illj:l l,3(S0.72, which wo under stood was all p:iid. This year it spent 1,631.77 or 271.05 m ro, and they leave the town in debt 118.21. They bought a street sprinkler and paid for it out of money which if ap pliod to the payment of debts would have loft ns a littleover 147 in debt It Is not so much the amount of money they spent, the sprinkler was perhaps necessary, but tho manner in which they spent it. What we claim li that the publio has derived no benefit from the outlay, that it was Injudicious, unnecessary, and un warranted to expend the amount they did on two streets, George and John when there are other streets was not in the amount, it was in the manner it was spent, and if this . management continues, as the Dis patch says it will, what we want to ask is where will the Borough stand next spring ? How is the pres ent debt to be liquidated and tho nec essary amount of work on the streets to be accomplished without an in crease in taxation ? The streets were never worse than this spring, and never required more work to make them passable. If thoy re ceive the proper attention or even the same amount of work as last year, there will be no money loft to apply on the debt. If tho debt re presented necessary improvements there would be no complaint but the difficulty is it does not, and tho Dis patch can wet its hands and take another whack at the situation. THE TAX ON WHEELS. . On another page among the wheel notes it will be soon that the wheel men are opposing the bill to tax bi cycles on the ground that other vehicles are not taxed, and that no tax should be imposed on wheels un less all other vehicles are taxed equally. Thoy seem to be selfish in this matter aud forget that the lo cal inhabitant pays and has paid very likely, for more years than most of them have lived, an annual road tax. The wheelmen skips through the couuty, uses tho road and wants it better, has nil the rights of a vehicle, and tho fullest protection of the law on the high way, and yet be protests if he is askod to contribute bis modicum to ward those rights and privileges. Ho asks full representation in all benefits but pleads to be excused from bearing any share of the bur den. Now gentlemen, wo favor good roads, and have always urged them, but we think you thould not be quite so fresh in your demands. The farmers and taxpayers will much more cheerfully and cordially acquiesce in your request for good r jads unci they will aUo regard yon with a uiueh greater complainauce if you show a fair and liberal spirit and a willingness to bear at least o shave of the burden of road improve ment. The povert threat that you may wield your influence in elections asrainst those who do not accede to your propositions is in bad taste. Perhaps you can throw a hoomer- r.itifi, but if you can't, better not try, tho wrong fellow may get hit. There is a rapidly growing senti ment of favor toward wheelmen in tho country. Let them be modest and fair, and not buzz too much in infancy if they would retain the good graces of the old hayseeds who pay the taxes and at least have some rights. Verbnm sap. WONDERS WILL NEVEU CEASE. If any Democrat has had tho temerity to read the tariff speeches made in Congress by Democratic members, he will be astounded at tho fact that some of them are really advocating protection, nt least they have become so far en lightened as to think that for arti cles such as cotton and wool which pertain especially to tho southern section it is not a robber measure. Tho average Democrat, however, displays the same crass ignorance, and flounders around in the haze and error of arguments and theories long ago exploded. Why does not some brilliant chap among them of fer, as was asked a few days ago, the Wilson bill as a substitute for tho Dingley measure. That would discover to tho country just how much the leaders of the party have 1 arned in tho past four y-ars. Two distinguished sons of the south have spoken, one air. Bailey, of Texas, who can see no sin in a wool duty, and Mr. McLaurin, of South Caro lina, has no idea now that a man should bo hung in effigy becauso he advocates tho protection of cotton. As for the rest of them they should follow tho advice Ian McLaren says a county minister gave his congre gation in the "closin' " of his ser mon, "Nowmn frauds I will bo keep in' ye no longer ,and j'o'll go hame to your houses and mind your own business.and as soon as ye get hame every man will go to bis closet and shut the door, and stand for five ...l....t.c qulr liiinuf.t f, tlfija acd emu question, 1Am 1 a goat r Newton people wero in raptures over the prize fight, and wired the champion congratulations. If Cor bett had visited that lovely town as well as Fitz it might have experi ence a new alignment in society, politics and religion. Tho moral sentiment seems to have been pretty one-sided in tho matter anyway. Chrnp Confederate Money. A southern firm advertises 1 5 varieties' of Confederate bills for ii5 cents, also a "rare collection of 50 different hills aud shinplnsters for only Apparently the firm has millions of dollais worth of this money for sulo cheap. What a pity that our old fogy consti tution is in tho way I Bat for it the cheap money advocates iu any state where they have a majority could buy np this whole Confederate outfit and start in business at once. Tho amount of prosperity and happiness that could be extracted from this old paper mine would depend upon the size (iKipulntiou) of the state fortunate enough to secure the monetary outfit. For instance, it would probably give Nevada more than 1,000 per capita and would at once transform her from one of the poorest to one of the wealthiest of states. Instead of sagebrush and prizefights sho would teem with gruu urieg and warehouses. Down with a constitution which prevents state home rule iu monetary alluirs aud the mani fold blessings of cheap money I Better Banking Facilities Needed. Discussing the poor credit and bank ing facilities of the west aud south be fore the' last meeting of tho American Economic association, Mr. Thomas G. Shearman said: In the 11 southern states it is impos sible that ouo-teutta of the farmers could have any bank account or could ever draw clinks iu payment for their retail transactious. In the recent' campaign the successful candidate received the votes of 23 states, the defeated candi date the votes of 23. The 28 states hold 93 per cent of all bank deposits and de positors. Deducting from the olher 22 states the silver states and a few large cities, the remaining vast agricultural section of the country, having 40 per cent of the population and 75 per cent of the area, has Uhs than 4 per cent of the bank deposits and depositors. This suggest what was the real grievance of this mass of voters, although they did not themselves understand it. Their banking facilities are proportionately only one-sixtwuth of the rest of the couutry. Tuna W aUua Accept the Verdict. Ill a letter printed in the New York World of March 9 Thomas E. Watson, cx-eaudidatu fur vice president, says: If there v as any ch ar meaning- in tho verdict of lust November, it was that there should be no free aud unlimited coinage cf silver ut the old ratio of 16 to I. mm imil Tin Changes iu thf Legislative Districts of tho State, AGRIEMENT ON THE NEW CAPITOL lnnKiT of a l lanh Mr! wren the Governor and tlio I.eniKlatnr Now Itrmnvi-d. nnn Opposition to the Utforin Mom-tirra-I)r.raUaw' KeUlfffrnt Altltnrie (Sped nl Cn rrfFpondt'tioe.) iTarrlaliurg, March 30.

Both houses have succeeded In the dispatch of very considerable business, but the senate Is much ahead of the house In their work, and in coiisu iiuence of this have adjourned over un til April. Tho New LrgUl.itlrn l)ttrlcU, A bill was offered In the house a, few days ago which makes a decided change in the legislative districts of the state, liy the provisions of this bill the Third and Fout th wards of Philadelphia are made one district, and with 1 member, and the Fit th and Sixth wards comprise one district, with 1 member. It entitles the Seventh ward to 1 members, and the Hltfth and Ninth wards are consolidated, with 1 mem ber. The Tenth gets 1 member. The Kleventh and Twentieth are united, with 1 member. The Sixteenth and Seventeenth together are entitled to 1 member, while 4 members are given to the Nineteenth and Thirty-first wards. The Twenty-second ward gets 2 members. The Twenty- ("mirth and Thirty-fourth are consolidated, and get 3 members. Instead of 2. The Twenty -sixth and Thirty-seventh are given 2 members. The Thirty-second ward, which was formerly In that dis trict, Is made a separate district, with 1 member. These constitute the changes In Philadelphia. Adams county gets 1 member. Alle gheny county will have 20 members. Bedford county gets 1 member, while Blair i3 entitled to 3 members. Cam bria county Is given 3. Chester ?, Clar ion 1, Crawford 2, Clearfield 3, Colum bia 1, Huntingdon 1, Jefferson 2. Lan caster 5, Lawrence 1, Luzerne 7, Lack awanna B, Mercer 2, Schuylkill 6. Somerset 1 and Wayne 1, while West moreland gets 4. All other counties will be the same as under the present apportionment. Among the bills that met with de feat recently, and which are not likely to be resurrected again during thin session, were .UTp.fljiU-tre athiK.bUl flll'l their death on final passage. The lat ter bill. It was understood, was going to be knocked Into smithereens by the house any way, and it was thought best to not give them the opportunity. The libel bill drafted by the Pennsyl vania Kdltorlal association was also practically killed In the house when it came up for second reading. Agreement on Ilia New tipitol A ah a red. There Is no doubt that an agreement will be reached In a short time be tween the governor and the legislature on a plan for a new eanitol, and the structure will be on about the same economic lines as recommended by the executive In his message. This Is about what was agreed upon by th committees on public buildings and grounds of the house and senate, who had a conference with the governor of about two hours duration, and the plans were received as to the group ing of the various buildings in archi tectural effect, of which there will be four In all. This will Include the ex ecutive building. The style adopted will in all probability be the rennais snnoe, which will Include a slight touch of the colonial, the object being to im prove on the old state house. The governor, in his statement before the committee, remarked that the con tract should be let Aug. 1, the build ing completed by Nov. 1, IdS. and if the work is not done In that time he would take all the biame. He also stated tbat his estimate of the ex pense for the erection of the new build ing at the cost of $.".50,000 was based on the fact that the lighting, heating and sewerage were provided for. and that about 2.C.O0.000 brick were in the old building that could be used. He also stated that the amount bu named is not intended to cover the inteiiur dec orations, and that the walls would not he In a condition to ornament when the next legislature meets, and this cost would be extra-, and must be pro vided for by appropriation. This esti mate also dos rot inebide the f ;j,,ni;li lngs, so that by tha time the building was completed the total cost would ag gregate abuut Sl.t)o'UJU. There seemed to be a very satisfactory feeling among the members composing the commit tee, and It is now certain that any danger of a clash between the gover nor and legislature has been removed. Opposition to the Reform Muaturrii. The houae dues not seem to take kindly to the reform measures, as was evidenced by tho way they cut and slashed until they could be scarcely recognized, and eventually passed the Stewart bill, which is one of the re form bills for rhlladelphia. after ad ding several amendments, which great ly changes its character. The bill re quiring state depositories to pay inter est on stale Hinds passed second read ing, but not until alter a dezen amend ments were offered and defeated. Two amendment!, however, prevailed In the end. They were a clause providing thai the bond to be furnished by tanks having stale deposits shall have ap proved securities, v it rt warrant of at torney to confess Judgment in favor of the conuiinn'A ealth. and a clause which staled that b.inks known a active depositories sht-ll pay 1 1 per cent Interest per annum on the daily balances, liy this latter amendment the Mate will derive, should it hecome a law, interest on .1'jH,'h) at l' per cet.t. The tjuay county bill, which fas eiot d by i lie governor two years a-;o .,...... i.. .... i i .i.. i and ha been so amended tiiut ll friend now believe it will meet with I CHANGING TO THE executive npi roval.

Many other bills were Introduced in both the senate end house ditri.ig the imst week, and there is now so many to dispose of that a resolution baa pafsed both houses that no more I ills shall be introduced nf'cr Aorll 6 except by permission of el liter house. It will be practically on Impossibility for the house to dioose of what they have now nn hand, as a re. olution has been adopted that a holiday be ta'ten durinif a portion of the week in which the monument to fieneral (Irnnt Is dedicated In New York cltv. This menns that littie wotk will be tic ?ornpllshed fluting that week. Th Prhool Rnppty FrlicmA. One of the most systematic and s.'ell planned schemes, which is attributed to an organization of school supply houses, Hint has been devis.'d In y cati has developed recently, and if not frus. trated will permit of the lavish and useless purchase of materials for un graded schools by conscienceless di rectors and supply committees. The plan ts to send out thousands of cir culars, worked off in imitation of type, writing, to secure Rlirnatui t s, and when alined are tu be sent, to the members of the house and senate. The way In which they are beine scattered and their uniform character leave little doubt as to their oiitrin. These are so worded as to effect, If possible, a spirit of prejudice in the minds of those into whose hands they come, as they as sail house bill No. ISfi, introduced by Mr. -Yelss, of Northampton county, which Is a most valuable measure an l Intended to curb school extravagance. It places restrictions on the school boards in the rural sections, and docs not affect school boards In cities or boroughs. . The circulars contain a spec ious plea, the city against the country, and Rre very well calculated to Reeure signa tures. The bill which they ore trying to have killed provides that the sum to be expended h'Teeftor by school d'rec tors In rural districts In providing maps, charts and mich apparatus sbull r r?.i teTl ' h f t fi e s f a t e." T li f s" 1 1' 1 1 ! ' pecks' to remedy one great evil, and that Is the reckless expenditure of money In school apparatus which prevails, and the or ganized interests which supply these equipments find a fertile field in the country districts. This is a very Im portant measure, and should be allowed to become a law. The scheme has been so thoroughly Investigated that the re sult will be that the bill wiii pais by a very large majority. Ilr. Rwallnw't Itelllgerency. Although Dr. Swallow met with rle A?at in his last trial, and was convicted of libel, yet he persists In keeping up the fight. His loiter addressed to Gov ernor Hustings Indicates that he is defiant and determined to continue the fight. His next experience wil be be fore the bar of the senate, before which body he has been cited to appear when they convene again to give Information, if he has any, as to the orlirln of the capitol tire. There is some curiosity manifested as to the outcome of this trial, and If he has evidence of any importance It will then be brought out. The senate has shown a disposition to treat him with every respect, but if he has evidence that Is valuable to thill committee In their work of invesM;-i-tlon he l in duty bound to p-ive it. Strange to say. while he is not popular here, 'he has many followers In his movement. He Is determined to hav a now trlul, and if he fulls in this wiil take his case to the superior court, and if the result Is, not satisfactory there will then go to the supreme court. A circular letter whl h Is helna Intro duced setting forth that he is n it alone In this contest, and soliciting- fun. Is to assist in the fb:ht, would Indicate that he has assistance. The Jttdre has taken ten flays iti which to give m answer as to whether a new trial will be granted. The report of the committee ap pointed to Investigate the auditor gen eral's and state treasurer's nfri.-. s was presented recently. They Pod that both otnees !:ave been properly con ductcsl. and some recommendations are made as to the auditor e nr rat's of fice, and that Is that an additional force be added to assist in th wuilt of this department, which Is t rowing in keeping wiih the giovvth, ar.d de velopment of the slate. They report Ihut during a period of 5t years. In which time 10.S74.fiJ1.7:i was received by the state, it has only suff.-ted a less of $'j.i;;2.gi out of Jiov.i'.'.i.i.ti t;s, making the percentage of loss the Btnall fractional sum of .COoju of 1 per cent, a remarkable ehowm:r in deed.

Cleanly Explained by a College l-'resldent at a l'artucrit' Cnuvcntinn. Tim following is part of the, synopsis printed l y tho Miltnn (Wis. ) Journal of in f xcellcnt address lty rrrsident Whit Con! of It ilton college before the furm ?rs' convention nt n recent meeting at Milton. It contains some very lucid statements of money and of tho power of governments to fix value: First. Two separate and distinct val ues tire avsigitcd to money, one being the intrinsic or market valtio of tho ar ticle nsetl; the other tho legal or face value, indicated liy the stamp or device pressed upon the article. In some well known instances vvhut is popularly (tailed money lias only one of tlieso vulm s. Fecond. The common practice of tribes and nations in Kelectinji such ar tielcH or commodities for money is to adopt two kinds or prudes of them, one having greater mtukct ; valdo according to its weight, for nse in the larger ex changes in trade; the other having lesser value, for the smaller exchanges. This practice, furnishes the first essential con ditinn for a system of 1 iui ttillism. Third. Only that money is basic and widely nnd pe rmanently use d which is made of precious metals, very generally gold and silver. Other nnd perishable commodities tire finally nbamloned or held redeemable in those metals. Fourth. The market value of these metals, not their faeo value, eonsiitntes the original nnd continuous quality by reason of which they are almost nniver ey. Government cr custom can add a quality, not inherent, bnt temporary, to finch metals nnd other articles nserl as a niedinm of exchange. But the real measure thus declared tc lie effective and lasting mnst bo the one establi.-he'd oy tho laws of (rude, not by the edicts of government. Filth. (iovernment itself cannot fix or centred tho market value or price of liny metal or other commodity, whether used us money or in the practical arts. So it cannot make Cat money nnd com pel the peoplo to circulate it n great length of time ns mone y of nny sort. Sixth. Any coins or other money whose market value is less than the ir face value nlways soon expel from cir culation all coins cr other money whos.0 market value is greater according to tin ir weight, r.nless tlio former are re-di-cuiable in tho latter. Whenever coin shows even a slight inferiority of its market value to its face value, it tends nt once to crowd out of use even a coin whose two value s are equivalent. Seventh. Cieild has bee n adopted by the principal civilized nations us pri mary mom y or tho standard of values because of its greater market value, its less weight for a given sum of money nml its least llui'tuatiou in market value of any of lie precious metals. F.ightli. Ct;ins like silver, whose market vuluc, is less than their face val ue, can lie kept circulating nt the same time with goid coins even iu somewhat largo amounts ouly by being redeem able in tho same ciciioiitinations with the. gold. The k.iiuo is true of paper money, v. hic h has no appreciable nutr kct value. A Movement For Currency Reform. The i(a.-s;u liusetts lie form club of Dei-Ion has cennmeiice d a systematic move nie-nl for practical currency reform. Jt h is recently pa- d formal resolutions tie lnaiiding that congress shall adopt finine safe plan "whereby our le gal ten der pape r mnl silver and our silver cer tificates rbtill be slowly withdrawn, nnd gold, gold cenilio.iti-s und bank notes shall gradually take; their places. " They further advocate "such le gislatiou as Will encourage the establishment und gucct'Shful op. ration of small banks with local capital and knowledge of credits." The se, re ttlutietiis are being sent throughout the i tnnilry, accompanied by a statemi'tit setting forth the views of tho club and requesting eve ry friend ;f cut re noy re form to sign the resolu tions and tend them to congress. This liifivement is exactly inline with tl.t action of thu Indianapolis confer ence, which was to impress congress with lite fact that there is uu over v In hoiiig public s urimcut in favor of currency r. form.
