MORAL STRABISMUS.
"Piko" must be more seriously
afflicted than we at first supposed.
In his famous letter ho says that
Constable Kelly, who Berved the
summons on the witnesses in the
Sohultzcaao, had never been paid
although his bill had been "legally"
attested. As matter of fact, Con
stable Kolloy never served any sum
mons or subpoena in that cane, and
never had, nor has ho now, any bill
for sorvioos rondorod, boonuse he
never rendered any.
We know "Piko" is frequently
affected with an obliquity of vision,
but no one supiwsed his mental or
moral machinery, if ho has any,
was so completely out of gear that
It would not mash with a truth so
easily proven. Another sad com
mentary on too much mental labor
without sufficient physical exorcise,
and no Koely repair sljop in the
county !

Fruit trees are all in blossom and

tho prosperity we have been wait
ing for will arrive. A railroad down
the valley would materially aid in
bringing this to our very doors.
There never will be a better time to
build one. and it would pay hand
somely on the investment.

FUN AMID DANGERS.
Amusing Incident sometime Enlivened
the Soldier's Hftrd Life.
A witty reply was once struck out
in the heat of battlo by a private in
the Ffty-ninth Illinois, who thought
tho occasion warranted a departure
froiu the rule of never answering
an officer lightly. Tho regiment
had got itself in rather an unenvi
able position almost betwoon two
lines of the enemy, and the colonel,
a vory pious man, cried out : "We're
in a mess, boys 1 The Lord pro
serve ns 1" when quick as a flush
came the reply spoken of, "He's
already got us in a pickle, colonel,
and here comes the jar !" as the
lines closed on thorn.
Brigadier Genorol B. was a nmu
of strict integrity ana a stern discip
linarian, and entering Virginia with
the army of tho Potomac he gave
orders to his command that there
was to be no confiscation of proper ty
as they passed through the country
and that any man caught at it would
be punished to the fullest extent.
So that when ono night ho happened
to discover for himself a soldier
stealing into camp with a half choked
porker under his cloan ho was pre
pared to mete out justice to tb.3 of
fender with a heavy bund. "What
d you mean, sir, by this flagrant
disregard of my commands sir ! I
am ashamed of you, sir. Why, we
have sympathizers somowhoro
among these people, and how do
you know but that this animal be
longed to one of them?" "That's
just it, sir," said the man. "I met
this chap down the road a piece, and
I asked him which side ho was on,
and he 'lowed he wouldn't tell, and
that moans rob every time, sir. So
I took him prisoner immediately
and wis bringing him to yon, sir, to
ba tried." Tho gonoral could not
keep his gravity, but declined to
"try" tho captive in any way what
ever and dismissed the man with :
"Don't do it again. If there is any
doubt horoaftor, give the straggler
tho benefit of it." Philadelphia

(Speclnl Correspondence.)
Harrlsburg, May 11. There Is ntl 11
talk of the final adjournment of the
legislature during the first week of
June, but nobody seriously thinks thHt
the lawmaking branch of the state
government will dissolve before the
80th of next month. At the Friday ses
Blon of the house Mr. Miller, of Homer
set, offered a resolution fixing June 3
as the dny for the Anal roundup, but
this resolution goes over under the
rules and will probably be referred to
the committee on rules, where It will
remain until the decks are sufficiently
cleared to enable the leaders of the
legislature to fix a definite date for ad
journment. During the debate on a
bill a dny or two hro one of the mem
bers expressed some concern about the
day of final adjournment being so near
at hand as to Jeopardize some Import
ant leelnlatlnn In which he and several
of his colleagues were particularly In
terested. Ppeaker Iioyer assured him
that at the present rate of progress
the legislature was likely to be In ses
sion until next November. The speaker
finds It necessary to frequently lecture
me house upon Its apparent Indiffer
ence to the flight of time. I have never
known a legislative body which cared
bo little about the sentiment of the
people respecting Its course as the one
now In session here. While there are
many good men, there Is n lack of
Interest In the proceedings of the house.
Upon the slightest pretext the sessions
are adjourned, and hot weather wll!
be upon the legislature long before the
Important -matters have been disposed of.
Tlio Trolley Hnninge mil,
representative Young, of Tioga
county, has charge of a bill providing
for the settlement of damages ac
cruing to owners of property abutting
upon public roads occupied by street
railways. This measure Is especially
3bJectionable to the steam railroad cor
porations, and they are losing no op
portunity to accomplish Its defeat. In
one way or another Its progress through
the house has been retarded until this
late day so that the friends of the bill
are much concerned about Its probable
fate.' At the brief session last Friday
morning an attempt was made to ad
vance the bill on the calendar by secur
ing for It a special order. This failed
after one of the most exciting discus
sions of the present session. Mr.
Young made a strong speech In sup
port of the resolution to give the bill
an advanced position, saying that the
great Importance of the proposed rem
edial legislation was ample Justification
for the resolution, fie declared that
the only opposition to the bill came
from the steam railways, and that the
defeat of the measure would mean se
riuos loss to many persons throughout
the state who have put their money
Into electric railways. Mr. Fiolett, of
Bradford county, said that the pro
jectors of trolley lines. If they wanted
the right of eminent domain, should
be willing to pay for that right, as the
steam railroads do. He argued that
the use of the country roads would be
strongly opposed by the farmers of the
state. Mr. Edmlnston, also a Bradford
county farmer, and one of the most
popular members of the house, Insisted
that the bill was , one In which the
farmer was interested, and that it was
not true that the rural population was
averse to the extension of the electric
railway system. He said because some
fellow's old bobtail horse was going to
scare at the trolley cars was no reason
why this bill should be defeated He
expressed the opinion that the time had
come when the farmer who still drove
to town behind a yoke of oxen would
have to recognise modern methods and
fall In with the procession of progress.
Mr. Nesblt, of Northumberland, another
representative of the grange element In
the legislature, also supported the bill
in an 'earnest speech. He sutd It might
be possible to damn public sentiment
for a while, but it would eventuully
overflow the bounds and force the leg
islature to give the people what they
demand. Mr. Martin, of Lawrence, a
leaders of the Grangers, gave utterance
to similar views. He contended that
the people of the country districts are
anxious for the extension of the trolley
lines.
An KfTort at neoonnldorntlon.
Those who spoke against the reso
lution urged that any advancement of
this bill, admitting Its Importance,
would mean the sidetracking of other
bills equally important. After a very
full discussion of the matter the reso
lution fell by the vote of 81 yeas t
53 nays, being less than the necessary
two-thirds vote. There Is no ques
tion that the friends of the bill were
too sanguine, and permitted the reso
lution to be defeated through their
failure to demand the yeas and nays,
which would have placed the members
on record. A standing vote does nut
do this so effectively. Of course they
were much disappointed, and an effort
will be made to reconsider the votu
by which the resolution fell.
The Young bill Is one of the most
-important' before the legislature, and
there Is no measure pending In which
so many people are Interested. For
several years the trolley railway de
velopment throughout the state has
been remarkable, and not until the
supreme court Interfered with a dis
astrous decision affecting the rights of
abutting property owners on highways
did the construction of these railways
through the country districts cease.
Under this decision the electric rail
way people found it almost Impossible
to go ahead, and the bill which Is be
ing so vigorously antagonized by the
steam railroads Is Intended to remedy
the existing condition of things.
Lieutenant Uovernor Lyon's proposi
tion to oust the present city adminis
tration of Pittsburg, as embodied In a
bill now before the leclslature, was
given a very decided push forward
lust Thursday. This measure has been
called "Jack the Kipper," because of
Its radical provisions. Primarily the
bill la Intended to reclassify the cities
of the state and put Pittsburg In the
first doss, with Philadelphia. Accom
panying th main proposition Is a pro
vision oust.ng from office the mayor and
other city oltlcials ten days after the
approval of th bill, and authorizing
the governor to appoint their success
ors. Until recently It was not expect
ed that this bill would be seriously
urged upon the members of the legis
lature, but the feeling of bitterness be
tween the factions In the Hepubllcan
party has grown so intense as to Induce
the Quay faction to InsUt upon the
passage of this bill, In order to punish
Senators Magee and Flinn and their
anll-yuuy adherents In Pittsburg. On
Thursday Senator Quay directed his
forces over the long distance telephone
from Washington, and his lieutenants
marshaled Ihe forces so well that the
bill had a substantial majority on sec
ond rending. It Is said that no further
effort will be made to pass the bill, but
friends of Senators Msgee and Fllnn
are of the opinion that the other side
will push th measure to final passage.
One of the features of the light on this
bill as the alliance of the Democratic
minority with the Quay people,
t'onutlesi Must Pay For F.xtrndlttnn.
One of the bills which Is being push
ed through the legislature with nil the
celerity possible requires counties to
pay the costs and expenses of appre
hending and returning a fugitive from
Justice charged with or convicted of
a felony. It has already passed the
senate, and last evening was read
the second time In the house. Today
It goes to final passage on a special
order. The purpose of this bill Is to
extradite Charles Still, who was con
victed at York three years ago of ad
ministrating knockout drops to a resi
dent of that city. E t 111 tied the country
after his conviction, and was appre
hended recently at Glasgow. He Is
now In jail at London, awaiting ex
tradition. The commissioners of York
rounty have refused to pay the ex
penses of bringing Still back, which
rxplnlns the rush on this bill. Ptlll
was formerly a police officer at York,
and was Involved In several brutal en
counters. Friends of the proposition to change
the basis of distributing the school
funds among the several counties are
awaiting with much anxiety the dis
position of the bill dividing the ap
propriation on the basis of one-third
on the number of schools, one-third
on the children in the schools and the
balance on the taxables. Philadelphia
Is particularly opposed to any change,
because the suggestion In this bill
would reduce the amount of money
received by Philadelphia to the extent
of over J200.000. Fittsburg will also be
seriously affected, but the members of
the legislature from that city gener
ously admit that the country districts
do not get their share.
An interesting question was submit
ted to Attorney General McCormlck by
the secretnry of agriculture In connec
tion with the Investigation of bribery
charges against an agent of the dairy
and food commissioner at Pittsburg.
The head of the department of agri
culture wanted to know whether his
department would be Justified In pay
ing the attorney's fees and costs In the
case of the accused agent of the state,
or whether such fees and expenses
should be paid by the agent himself.
The attorney general says the ques
tion Is one of great Importance and
deserving of the most careful con
sideration. He concludes that the com
monwealth should Incur no obligations
and pay no expense either In the way
of counsel fees or costs In such an in
vestigation. He suggests that to do so
would be to establish a bad precedent
Suit to Restrain State OMlelals.
An unusual proceeding was com
mnced In the Dauphin county courts
last Friday to restrain Governor Hast
ings and Secretary of the Common
wealth Reeder from Issuing a charter
to the Franklin Gas company or any
other corporation for the purpose of
supplying gaslight to the city of Pitts
burg. This Is the .first proceeding of
the kind in the history of the common
wealth. The case will be watched with
much Interest by the bar of the state,
as well as by the parties concerned,
for the reason that the right to restrain
tho governor from issuing a corporate
franchise Is a novel legal proposition
In Pennsylvania.
The committee appointed by the
chairman of the Republican state com
mittee to revise the various reform
bills Indorsed by the party organiza
tion so as to make them conform to
the views of the majority, has had a
couple of meetings, but Its work Is not
yet completed. The civil service bill
seems to be giving the committee the
most trouble. This measure is not pop
ular with the working politicians, and
considerable diplomacy must be used
to make It all acceptable. The present
bill provides for an annual expenditure
of $25,000 In salaries, which the com
mittee regards as a bad feature. They
think this commission Bhould be self
sustaining, like the state pharmaceuti
cal board, the revenues to be derived
from the applicants for examination.
The present bill makes applicants for
all positions stand about the same ex
aminations, which is regarded as un
fair, and will be changed. As the bill
will likely be made to apply to all cities
all the policemen and' firemen In the
state may be put under Its provisions.
All the other bills wlfl be reported prac
tically In their original form.
Borne Important changes have been
made In the Elkln bill imposing a tax
on direct Inheritances. These changes
have been made by the senate commit
tee on finance, and are sure to create
trouble. Two additional sections have
been added, one providing that every
Insurance company Incorporated under
the laws of Pennsyh anla, except pure
ly mutual concerns, without capital
stock and purely mutual beneficial as
sociations, shall pay a tax of eight
mills on the dollar upon the gross pre
mluma and assessments received from
business transacted In this state. The
tax on foreign insurance companies
la Increased from X to 4 per cent upon
all business done In this state. The
amendment that is sure to start a buzz
Is one repealing the provision of the
present law giving half the tax on the
foreign fire Incurance companies to
cities and boroughs for the use of dls
ubled firemen.
Both senate and house will adjourn
on Thursday, so that the lawmakers
may go to Philadelphia to participate
In the Washington monument ceremo
nlea Governor Hastings and staff and
all the state officials will also be pres
. ent.
Attorney General McCormlck, under
the direction of a resolution of the
legislature, approved by the governor,
will investigate the claim of the Corn
planter Indians to a portion of the
ground now covered by Oil City.
