Largo, roomy, moilorn summm
homos will attract the ileni.ons of
the citios. If Milford had several
more of this character there is no
doubt they could easily bo filled.
Nature has been more lavish in
her attractions to tho town and val
ley than the inhabitants. Wont
somebody wake up to tho fact that
with a railroad hero, and several
more largo bongos the town and
surrounding localities would receive
a wonderful impetus toward a pros
pority which would be of fur greater
moment than all tho Agricultural
interest of tho county.

If it is a solemn duty to redeem
the pledge that was made to restore
n Protective Tariff, why is it not
equally obligatory to redoom that
other solemn pledge to restore thi
early American policy of dittcnmin
nting duties ?
The jeoplo were informed what
the Republican party would do if re
stored to the control of the Govern
ment. In restoring its represent
tives to the control of the legislative
and executive branches of the Gov
ernment tho party s promises were
formally indorsed. It is expected
that they will bo fulfilled. The
Protection of American shipping by
discriminating duties is one of these
promises which the people have
consented to and exioct the fulfill
ment of. There is no mire roas m
for delaying its fulfillment than that
of any other promise. It is a part
ot tho Tariff. The Tariff U boing re
vised and now is tho time to incor
porate discriminating duties therein
To neglect to do so is to shirk and
evade a solemn duty, to repudiate a
solemn pledge. .
Says the American Economist
"The whole tiooplu suffer under
Free -Trade, but, of all the jieople
those 'whose capital is their lalx r
suffer the most." Mr. W. E. H
Lecky, a prouounood Froo-Trudor
and the author of "Democracy and
Liberty," says in that work : "No
foot is more conspicuous in the nine
teonth century than tho strength t
the reaction that has taken place
against the Free Trado principles
. . . Nearly everywhere the ol
Free-Trade doctrine is a vanquish
or it declining creed." Experience
bus been the test, and by that to.-t
I'roo-Trudo has proved itself an ut
ter failure. Of c .mrso, it is "a vau
quihhixl or a declining creed." La

HINTS FOR FARMERS.
Tho valne of horses in this coun

half since 1S!)2. Then It was over

Now it is about five hundred mil

years.
Tho world's wheat crop will be
short this year. Tho great wheat
growing countries have suffered
many drawbacks and their surplus

In April over ten millions of bus-
lels of corn were exported from this

mr foreign debts with this grain.
Prices of wool will no doubt ad

jtock imported in anticipation of
this, and to avoid inlying the in-
rensed duty, which it will take some
time to consume, but by next year
it will pay to have wool to sell.
Of tho sixty-five million dollars
worth of butter which England
bought last year we furnished but
sixty-five thousand dollars worth,

If tho cows fall off in milk in July
ind August, they will not do ns well
if tor, no matter how much thoy are
fed. The way to do is to plant
plenty of fodder now so as to koep
them up to tho full flow when tho
tho dry siell comes.
The best hay is not over dried
lho harvest should commence ns
wn as tho heads are termed anu a
little before tho blossom nppcars.or,
just as soon as tho blossoms fall.
When tho seed begins to form tho
plant changes rapidly to woody
fibro, and deteriorates greatly in
quality. Tho nearor hay can bo like
June pasturo the more nutritive it
is and tho moro milk cows will give
on such rations in winter. It is bet
ter than Into cut fed with grain.
Corn should bo cultivated frequ
ently aud deep, until it reaches your
hands on tho cultivator or plow.
This will start tho root growth deep
in the ground. After that tho cul
tivation should bo shaliow nnd the
soil kopt mellow and loose on top..
Those wishing to experiment might
sow a small patch with crimson
clover at tho last working, and see
what the result will be. It might
be good as a mulch to tho ground
and to turn under next spring when
plowing for oats, or it might make
some fall pasture.
Canada thistles can be killed dead
by cutting off the crown at tho sur
f aco with a spado held quite flat and
then wetting the top with kerosene
oil. One gallon will be enough for
half an acre oven whore they are
very thick. Thoy are a nasty weed,
aud worth a little pains to extermin
ate. The conspiracy between tho mono
polists and tho boodlers must bo
crushed before any reforms desired
by tho people can have a chance.
lo this end those who suffer from it
and those who hate immorality in

cans. New York World, October

Now that the relief of tho twelve
hundrod starving Americans in Cuba
has been attended to, let us have
equally prompt roliof for the tons of
thousands of unemployed American
wages earners who have not the
means wherewith to provide food
for themselves or their families, and
who are prevented to securing work
by Europe's industrial invasion of
our markets under the Democratic
Free Trade Tariff. Give them im
mediate Piotection.
Labor in England is faring woll.
The British Board of Trado reports
changes in rates of wages during
April that affected 63,500 people, of
whom 52,500 reoeivod increases that
averaged 42 cents per week after de
ducting the decreases in the wages
of the 1,000 workers whose earn
ings were lowered. Hurry along the
Tariff bill and transfor a little of
that prosperity to American wage
earners. Good news comes from our Con
sul General in Cuba. American
citizjns there are being provided
with food. Congress did good work
aud quick work in this respect. Ho
peat tho remedy, as promptly and
as effectively, by giving Protection
to our citizens at home. This will
give them tho opjwrtuuity to get
work and earn their living.
A bill that even Grover Cleveland

IlarrlMliurg, June 8. Just when the
state administration lenders and the
revenue raisers in the legislature were
congratulating themselves on the fact
that at leaM one bill for raiding reve
nue was a law, nnd practically sure of
raising at least Jl.OOfl.nno a year, JudRe
Hanna, of Philadelphia, comes along
with a constitutional club and knocks
out the IC'ililn act taxing direct inheri
tances, lie bapes tils declidon on the
ground that the act Is In conlllct with
the constitution, which prescribes that
all taxation upon the same class of
subjects shall be uniform: thill the leg
islature has no power for levying a tat
upon a class, or to exempt any part of
that class froin tnxatlon, because the
constitution prescribes that when a tax
Is laid no power to exempt shall be
vested in the legislature for other prop
erty than that exempted by the con
stitution, and that as to the estates of
persons who died before the passage of
the act. Its provisions are retroactive
and therefore Illegal. The exemption In
question permits all personal property
below the value of $6,000 to go free.
Governor Hnstlngs, Attorney General
McCormlck and other state ofilcinls are
still of the opinion that the bill Is con-
tltutlonal, and no time will be lost In
getting & case before . the supreme
court, so that the higher tribunal may
pass upon the constitutionality of the
act.
Discussing the unexpected decision
on the direct inheritance law Btate
Treasurer Haywood drew attention to
the fact that the points of law to which
Judge Hanna takes exception were nil
discussed before the bill was passed;
and it was thought there were deci
sions of the supreme court to sustain
them. He said that the exemption and
retroactive features were all gone over
and were thought to be constitutional
He added: "If it Is decided that there
is a doubt about their constitutionality
there will have to be additional legisla
tion, for we must have revenue. We
can pass another bill in six days. If
this declelon is sustained It will affect
the collateral Inheritance tax, and be
side the $1,000,000 we would loscthrough
the alleged unconstitutionality of the
direct tax law we would also lose
$1,000,000 a year on the collateral Inher
hance law, which also contains an ex
inption clause."
PtixzleU Over the itcvonuo.
The whole question of revenue has
been one that has caused the legisla
ture no end of trouble. One proposi
tion after another has been made with
view to Increasing the revenue to
meet the demands upon the slate treas
ury, but the objections are as frequent
as the propositions, and the result i3
that no substantial progress has been
made during the past ten days in the
way of solving the problem. There bus
been a good deal of tulk about taxing
oleomargarine, but the farming ele.
nient in the legislature, with few ex
ceptions, are unalterably opposed to
thus legalizing the sale of what they
are pleased to term "bogus butter." It
Is believed that a tax upon the sale of
oleo" would bring In a large amount
of revenue.
A fev days ago Senator Grady of
fered a resolution In the senate request'
ing the governor to communicate to
the general assembly whether a d'
ficll would exist at the close of the
present fiscal year, and whether the es
timated revenues for the two ensuing
years would be sulilclent to meet the
deficit, If any exists, as well as the
ordinary, expenses of the state govern
ment, and If In Ills Judgment existing
laws are not sufnclent, then what sub
Jects of taxation he would recom
mend that will sufficiently increuse the
revenues so as to prevent financial
embarrassment. This resolution passed
the senate and, being concurred in by
the house with practical unanimity,
was sent to the governor. Unless all
signs fall there will be some fun in the
senate when his reply is received. The
friends ul the governor believe that the
resolution was conceived in the camp
of his enemies and sent to hltn as
sort of challenge because of his well
known policy n cut down all uiineces
sary exiienses.
A move was made In the house last
week towards final adjournment. Cer
tain changes In the rules were adopted
which provide for the dropping from
the calendar of a couple hundred bill
on second reading, which could never
be reached unless the legislature
mains in Besslon all summer. The
complications over the revenue prob
leni have delayed work on approprla
tion bills, and aa It stands now final
adjournment cannot posBihly be reach
ed before the middle of July
The Wellcr IJitior Law.
One of the most Important bills con
sldered at the present session wns oin
Introduced by Representative Weller
to protect employes of corporations 1
their right to Join and form labor or
ganlsatlona. This bill was fought
through both the senute and house and
finally reached the governor, who gav
uAh sldea hearings before he took ac
lion. He approved the bill on Friday
last. This measure had the support
'he labor organisations throughout the
state, and the leaders have been lo
Harrlehurfr since the opening of the
session helping It along. The act pro
vides briefly that if any uftlcer, agent
or employe of any corporation shall
coerce, or attempt to cerce any em
ploye for connection with any lawful
labor o-ganiKation, or shall exact from
nny avplecant for employment any
promise or agreement not to form, Join
r belo i -to such organization, or shall
in my manner endeavor to prevent an
-mploye from exercising his lawful
right In hl respect the percon of
fending shall be guilty of a misdemea
nor luid liable to a fine, on couvlctiun.
of not more than $2,000, nor lens than
$1,000, and Imprisonment not exceed
ing one ear, either, or both.
Another attempt was made a day ot
two ago to place upon (be calendar the
Creasy bill fixing a uniform passenger
fare on steam railways at two cents pel
xnlle. This bill waa teported negative
ly from the house committee on rail
rouds a few weeks ago. Uorne such
measure bubs up at every session of
the legislature, but it rarely gets be
yond the committee to which It Is re
ferred. Mr. Cleusy, whu la one of the
Democratic lenders In the house, made I
speech In support of his bill, In which !
took the position thnt. as the pur-
haHlng power of a dollnr Is double
that of a few years ago, it is only fair
that rnilroad companies should reduce
their charges in the same proportion as
lees of food products and other nec- t
paries of life have been reduced. Rep
resentative I.ytle, of Huntingdon, op-1
ped the bill, saying that the consti-
utlrn would Interfere with the enact
ment of such a measure, lnastnuch at
the net Incorporating the Pennsylvania
Railroad company fixed the rate of far-?.
Comparative Veto Stntlettcs.
Governor Hnstlngs has not lost his
gilp on the veto ax. He favors the
legislature with one or two vcti mes
sages every day. One of his latest ve
toes knocks out a concurrent resolution
directing the state prlhter to print 2,500
copies of grand atlases to accompany
certain geological reports. He says
this resolution, if approved, would com
mit the state to the expense of printing
the maps. There is no provision or
limitation in tho resolution rcgardii;
their cost, nnd the governor suggests
that the state printer could go on and
omplcte malts according to his own
taste tftid Judgment, fixing his own
price therefor, lie concludes that he
could not give the measure his ap
proval, even if the bill was In due form
of law, guarded by careful restrictions
as to the cost of the maps, because of
the rresent condition of the public
treasury.
An Interesting table has been pre-
pared showing the results of a careful 1
and discrimnattng use of the veto
power by the last three governors. This
table, in addition to the number of
vetoes f each governor, nlso shows the
amount of money saved by reason of
the vetoes, as follows: Governor Pat-
tlson's firHt term, 1XM, fi9 vetoes, $!W.6K8
saved; 1H85, 108 vetoes, saved $.1S3,887.
Governor Lfeavor's term, 1887, 89 vetoes,
1.927.S:il- saved; 1889, 48 vetoes, $381,697
saved. Governor Paulson's second term.
1891 94 vetoes, $r,83,446 saved; 1893, 80
vetoes, saved $1,071,009. Governor Hast
ings, is: r,, 123 vetoes, saved $745,561.
A concurrent resolution has been ap
proved by the governor urging upon
the Pennsylvania representatives In
congress to work to Becure the passage
of laws looking to the restriction of
Immigration. He has also approved a
resolution urging the representatives of
Pennsylvania nt Wasl.gton to press
to passage a bill for the retirement of
General D. M. Greog with the rank of
captain, which he held at the time of
his resaipnutlon from the army.
Rapidly the old capltol Is being dis
mantle,!, and before the close of the
present week nt least half of the ruins
Will be removed. A week ago Contrac
tor Rorke's men begnn work, and their
progress has been so satisfactory as to
Justify the belief that the walls and
foundations will be removed within the
time limit of 85 days. Architects In all
parts of the country are now at work
on the competitive plans for the new
building, and these will be submitted
about the middle of July. Two or three
weeks will then be given contractors
to bid on the plan adopted by the com
mission, so that work on the new struc
ture Is expected to be commenced
almut 4ug. 1.
Fllectiic railway measures have met
lth all sorts ol opposition In the pres
ent legislature. The steam railroad In
fluences have been too great to over
come, and as a result the Young bill,
giving trolley companies a chance on
the highways of the state, and the
Mackey bill, giving them the right to
carry freight, are still hanging fire In
the houne.
Tactics have been employed In de
laying these bills which are not cred
itable to those engaged In them. These
measures have been attacked on all
sides and under all kinds of pretexts,
but the better clement In the legisla
ture believe that they are fair bills
and ou,;ht to be passed.
Foelit's Allen I'nnpor Hill.
Representative focht, of Union coun
ty, Is pushing to final passage his bill
frovjdin; for the return of paupers and
Insane persons, not having a legal set
tlement within this commonwealth, to
any other state or country to which
they may have belonged. Mr. Focht
Is chairman of the special committee
appointed by the legislature of 1895 to
Investigate the question of alien and
pnuper inmates of the state Institu
tions, ar.d he contends that much of
the expense of these institutions is
caused by the maintenance of alien
paupers.
The governor has just approved I
bill to validate contracts for street Im
provements and the construction of
sewers that were made under laws and
ordinances declared unconstitutional.
It applies to street paving, macadamlz
Ing and grading, completed or in pro
cess of comnk tion, and provides the
method of levying assessments and ap
pointing viewers.
It is probable that the Hamilton road
hill, one of the measures that has
caused more talk during the present
session of the legislature than any
other half dor.en bills, will likely reach
the governor this week. It was sent
to the senate with a rider, providing
that $1,000,000 Bhould be appropriated
for the Improvement of highways be
fore the law becomes operative. This
amount was cut down hy the senate to
$.00,000, and If the house concurs in
the change the Mil will be sent to the
governor. There cannot be any doubt
that he will approve, Inasmuch as he
has urged the passage of a road bill at
both sessions of the legislature.
Another Important measure Is almost
sure to reach the governor within, the
next few days. I refer to the Ktewart
interest bill, which waa passed by the
house several weeks ago and sent to
the senate. That body has adopted
several amendments, and aa the bill
stands now It provides for Interest on
all state deposits at the rate of 2 per
cent, except In the five active depos
itories In Philadelphia. Pittsburg and
Harrlsbuig which are to pay 1 per
cent on dally balances and make col
lections for the stale free of coat.
