A WORD ON THE TKIAL.
During tho trial in progress last
wock, it was tho Bubjoct of froquout
remark that all clnssos and condi
tions of society jostled each other to
obtain a vantage x'oint of view, and
displayed an eagerness that no word
of tho testimony should escapo their
ears.
We cannot of course dissect tho
motives which prompted this tin
usual interest, and might unfairly
assign thorn wore wo to attempt to
do so. For those who wont with a
dosire or intention of reaping seme
benefit by following tho mothods oi
proooodure, marking tho manner of
conducting tho trial, examining the
montal processes involved, or study
ing tho phases of character as por
trayed and dovelopod by tho wit
nesses or tho prisoner, tho lessons
loarnod if in any wise in lino with
the pursuit of tha listener, or as giv
ing a broader more comprehensive
view of human nature, or develop
ing any faculty, or preparing for
more realistio study of crime in its
phases, so that lessons as to tho bot
tor methods ot counteracting it
might be learned, there might have
been profit. All such would havo
v the strength of mind and force of
character not to receive impressions
which would be of injury. Theini
quity rovealod would but shock
and repel. Those who were present
out of morbid curiosity, a desiro for
sensationalism, or any other motive
not rising to the level of a desire to
be in iu some way benefitted or
gaining that which might be of
valuo, would better have remained
away. The wholo tendency of a re
vtlation of drime particularly of
such high character can have only a
debasing influonoe on minds not
well fortified to resist the impres
sions given. The audience at the
Bchultz trial too often resembled an
assemblage of people drawn thither
to observe a play and to be enter
tained and amused. There did not
sooni to be a realization that a sol
emu, fearful tragody was being en
acted, in which the deepest passions
and busest motives formed the
groundwork and tissue.
What possible interest of a lauda
ble nature young ladies could hav
in listening for hours at a time to
recital of crime is hard to conceive
Buch triuls when promiscuously at
tended, must necessarily blunt the

WASHINGTON LETTER.
The Annexation of Hawaii to tho
United States,
President McKlnlcy Ilclnrned from the
Nnthvllte Exposition Tuesday Tariff
Itetmte to be Shortened llryitn and
llrptidllfttlull.
The territory of Hawaii. Huw
dix8 Hint sound t It is going to be
the next addition to Uncle Ham's
family. It is now known, although
no official statement lias been mado
hat a treaty fur tho annexation of
Hawaii will bo sent to tho Honatoin
lie near future, probably before the
close of the proMimt session of Con
gress. There is very little, if any,
doubt of tho , ratification of that
treaty, as tho sentiment of the Hon-
at, regardless of party is overwhelm
niingly iu fuvir of tho annexation
of Hawaii ; but owing to tho diffi-
ulty of keeping a quorum of tho
Semite in Washington after the
tariff bilf has Ihioii passed, tliotroafy
will hardly bo ncled upon until tho
egular session of Congress, oven if
sunt in ut this session.
President MeKinley has returned
from his trip to tho Nashville ex
position Tuesday, and tho White
House, which has been quite deser-
ed by all but tho sight-seerers while
h ) lias been away will again take on
an air of business.
The attempts of some of tho Dem
ocratic- Bonn tors to explain that they
are not protectionists, although they
mvo voted for protection for the
products of tholr stjites, havo boon
moro or less ludicrous. Bonator
McEnory, of La,, is tho only one of
thorn who has come out squarely for
protection, although a number of
thjm havo voted for it in particular
sohodulos. Ho said in reply to the
taunts of Senators Jones, of Ark
and Vest ; "Considering tho vast
interests Louisiana has in rico and
su jar ; considering the output of
hor saw mills, her salt and sulphur
mines, is there any reason why the
Democratic party of my state should
not bo committed to protection?
Not high protection, but such pro
tection os is consistent with revenue
necessities. This, also, I beliove, is
the doctrino of tho lie-publican
party. Uall it what you will, pro
tection, revenue duty with inciden
tal protection, or anything olso,
largo amounts must bo raisod, and
there is no reason why tho indust
ries of tho South should not bo pro
tectod
The Democrats took advantairo of
tho agreement of the Republican
Senators to shorten tho tariff debate
as much as iossiblo by not making
speeches or taking part in contro
versies, to mako a- number of state
ments concerning the sugar schedulo
which lias boon adopted by tho Sen
ate, that they must havo known
were untruo. Tho only ono of thoir
statements that any attention was
paid to was that assorting that tho
now sugar schedulo would give the
American sugar refiners more pro
tection than tho schedule for which
it was substituted, and that was
only replied to indirectly by Bona
tor Allison, who st-nted that tho new
schedulo would givo tho American
sugar rofinors om protection than
the one abandoned, and that
would bo shown by indisputable
evidence as soon as a statement now
being preixirod by unprojudiciod ex
ports could be completed. Senator
Allison's word was enough for the
tsonato which adopted tho now scho
dule.
Tho object of the Domocratio
Senators in talking to delay progress
on the tariff bill is obvious. It is
estimated that every day the bill is
delayed means a loss to tho govern
ment of at least $100,000 in "duties
and the more that is last in that way
the hotter prepared will be Domo
cratio stump speakers to charge tho
new tariff with not producing
enough revenue during its first nine
mont hs or a year. Of course intelli
gent people will know that advance
importation under present duties
will prevent tho new tariff showing
what it can do as a rovonue producor
for sometime after it goes into effoct
but intelligent people are seldom or
never influenced by tho untrust
worthy statements which form such
a conspicious feature of Democratic
stump oratory ; it is the unintelligent
and poorly informed class which is
led astray by such talk.
It has been denied that Bryanism
stood for repudiation, but it cannot
he denied that a bill introduced by
Representative Bell, of Colo., a popu
list diciplo of Bryan, provides for
1 artial repudiation, pure and simple.
His bill provides for scaling tho
debt of tho United States, which is
represented by the $62,315,400
worth of bonds issued by tho Cleve
land administration in February
1SU5, by directing the Secretary of
the Treasury "to pay not less than
one-half of tho interest and princi
pal of said bonds in standard silver
dollars." Tho odd part of Mr. Boll's
repudiation scheme is that he only
giKx-ittes that it shall include ono of
the Cleveland bond issues. The bill
will not be heard from again, but it
shows the spirit of Bryanism and is
therefore worth mention, as a warn
ing of . what, might be expected
should Bryanism ever get on top.

(Special Correspondence.)
HnrrlRburg, June IS. -Senator Quay
condng here this week to help the
'pfllslBture out of the revenue dllpmma.
He conferred with prominent members
of the senate and house at the resi
dence of Senator TenroBe In Philadel
phia on Friday night, and will continue
the conference in thla city In a dny or
two. He will also have a talk with
Governor Hantlngfl, who has been made
aware of his vlewa by Hepresontatlvo
William Marshall, chairman of the
house committee on approprlatlone,
who went to Washington on Thurs
day for the purpose of giving Senator
CJuay an Inside view of the state's
financial situation. State Treasurer
Ileywood and Auditor Oeneral Mylln
were both present at the Philadelphia
conference, and went over the esti
mates of receipts and expenditures
carefully, with a view to discovering
how to economize without crippling
any of the state Institutions. One of
the cuts will be In the contingent funds,
which have been made to do duty for
all sorts of appropriations. There will
be no unnecessary grants of money. All
bills appropriating money will be cure-
fully pruned by Mr. Marshall's com
mittee, but the charitable institutions
Df the state will be better satisfied with
half the Bums they have asked thun no
aid at all.
When It was decided by the legisla
ture to adjourn finally on July 1, and
became apparent that the revenue
was lnsufllclent to meet the ordinary
demands of the state government and
tho varlouB state and charitable In-
tltutlons, the lawmukers were flooded
with telegtams and letters from their
indignant constituents demanding that
hospitals and homes for the poor
and friendless would not be left pen
niless. The final adjournment resolu
tion was put through In a tlft by the
house, having been offered In the sen
ate by Senator Meredith as a bluff
to make the house work. Speaker
Doyer was present in the senate at the
time, and, returning to the house, he
had that body speedily concur In the
action of the senate, tip to that time
was the general opinion that the
legislature would remain In session un
til the middle of July. This sudden
change of front Interfered with the
planB of the leaders, and the announce
ment that all appropriation bills, ex
cept those for the ordinary expenses
of the state government and penal and
reformatory Institutions, would be
dropped, alarmed the charitable In
stltutlons throughout the state to such
degreo that a general protest went
up, and the agreement to extend the
session a week or two beyond the first
of July was the result. It 1b believed
now that the revenue measures will
be put through without delay, and all
appropriations will be scaled Sown bo
as to come within the estimated 're
ceipts for the next two years.
Koonoiny Must be tho ltule.
Qovernor Hasting, In his message to
the legislature In January, clearly set
forth the condition of the revenues,
and warned the lawmakers that It
would be necessary to exercise strict
economy In order to prevent embar
rassment of the state treasury. This
statement has been verified by recent
figures, and, responding to a resolu
tion of the senate calling upon the gov
ernor to suggest suitable subjects for
taxation, he said that the present was
no time to Increase the burdens of the
people; It is rather a time to lessen
their burdens by reducing the expend!
tures. He concluded his communica
tion In these words: "At this time,
when almost all Industries are suffer
ing, when trade In stagnant, and when
willing labor can find no employment,
economy In the expenditure of public
monies should control the general
sembly In Its appropriations, and will
certainly control the executive In the
consideration of all such measures.
Governor Hastings has not changed
his views as expressed In his communl
cation to the senate, but It Is believed
now that he will agree to help those
who favor an extension of the session
few days In order to secure money
by some reasonable Increase of taxa
tlon, for the charitable Institutions.
He feels, as do all others who have
considered the question, that It would
be almost criminal to deprive the hos
pltals and various charitable Instltu
tions of the state aid to which they
have looked forward since the openln
ng
of the session. The proposition to pro
long the session beyond the 1st of
July Is contingent upon the Inability
of the senate and house to complete
their labors by that time. Home of the
leaders In the legislature still believe
that it will be possible to get through
with the Important work .and adjourn
finally on that date.
No appropriation blllj have yet been
reported from the committee, and
view of the fact that they must be
scaled down to come within the rev
enues, the labors of these committee
will be very arduous. The majority In
the legislature realize that an adjourn
ment without tne passage ot revenue
and appropriation bills will result dls
astrously for the party In power an
seriously handicap the Republicans
the campaign this year.
In
State Treasurer Haywood has gen
erousty asBumed the responsibility
paying the state employes until tli
general appropriation bill Is passed and
Blgned. The fiscal year of the com
monwealth ended on May 31, and
there was no appropriation for the
salaries of state otUiers and clerks
they will have to depend upon the goo
oHlces of the Btate treasurer until the
legislature passes the general appro
priation bill.
The Taxation of Aliens.
An Important bill, approved by the
governor, provides fer the payment of
taxes by aliens. It requires that ail
corporations, associations, companies,
firms or Individuals employing persons
who are not citizens of the United
States shall, upon the receipt of a writ
ten notice from the tax collector of
the district, deduct from the wages
of such employe a sura sulllctent to
pay the respective amounts of taxes
assessed against each, and pay it to
the collectors of the districts In which
said aliens are employed. Another bill
Is almost through the legislature pro
viding for the return of alien paupers
to the state or country from which they
came.
The legislall'ip Insurance srnndnl
Is still ft llvly nmtlcr of Interest. An
other meeting of the Investigating com-
ilttes was held a few days ago, but
the most Important wltnres wns not
present, and It was derided to ad
journ until this afternooTl. Frank II.
Leonard, of New York, Is the missing
wltnepn. He Is said to be the person
who knows nil about the alleged nropo.
lllnn of certain senntors to defeat the
child Insurance -hill for $r.ft.0on.
Governor Hastings has approved the
bill to prevent the wearing of any
ndge or button of any labor or fra
ternal organisation without the right
to do so by membership. The act pro
vides that any person doing so shall
be subject to a fine of fioo.
According to the estimates of the
state's accounting nfllcers, It will he
nerpRsary to raise about t4.000.noo In
addition to the present revenues to
Ipe nut the deficiency and take care
of the ordinary demands upon the
treasury.
A bill which Is being watched by
those who appreciate Its dangerous
chnracter Is one permitting the dam
ming of the Pelaware river, fiuch a
bill has passed the legislature of New
Jersey and fceen approved by Governor
Griggs. If the lawmakers of this state
pass this bill It Is the purpose of cer-
aln capitalists to build a dam across
the pelaware river at Trenton, for the
purpose of furnishing power for a
great electric plant.
The senate hns defeated the Clarency
sill defining local mutual savings
funds, building and loan associations.
rhls measure was Intended to open
the way for Bn attack upon all hulld-
ng and loan associations not purely
oeal afYnlrs. but the Influence against
It was sufllclnnt to knock It out.
Proposed Tax on Oleo Will Knll.
There Is a proposition to tax oleo
margarine for the purpose of raising
more revenue, but there will be a big
fight In the legislature before such a
bill can get through. Already an or
ganUntlon has been perfected In the
house to oppose any bill of this kind.
Representative Young, of Tioga coun
ty, Is the leader of tho new movement.
A steeling committee has been ap
pointed, comprising 15 leading mem
bers of the house, without regard to
party or fa.ctlon. It Is contended by
the opponents of such a tax that a law
of this kind would legalize the sale of
oleomargerfne, and be In the Interests
of tho manufacturers of Imitation but
ter. It Is argued that the revenue de
rived by the commonwealth from this
Bource will very materially relieve tho
depleted condition of the state finances,
and that no harm can come through
such a license tax to any Industry of
the state. Professor Hamilton takes
the opposite view. He says the late
census gives tne numoer or dairy cat
tie In Pennsylvania at 27.zr4, and the
amount of butter manufactured from
these dairy cows In that year at 78,
809,011 pounds. The amount of cheese
Is given at 43,0CO pounds, and the
milk products at 8S,06,4S2 gallons. If
the ratio of Increase has been as great
from 1889 to 1837 as It was between
1870 and 1818 a fair estimate of the
number of cows at the present time In
Pennsylvania Is about 1,100,000 and the
number of pounds of butter manu
facturcd about 90,000,000 pounds, and
the milk produced about 437,625,349
gallons. These cows are distributed
among 211,412 farmers' families, con
slstlng of 1,000,026 persons, or one-fifth
of the entire population of the state.
He says the Income of butter alone to
Pennsylvania Inst year amounted to
between ilfi,000,00 and $18,000,000, and
the milk- product at 8 cents a gallon
amounted to 125,000,000. It Is also
argued that the low price of oleomar
garine would ruin the dairy business,
and that the legalizing of the sale of
oleomargerlne would result In a great
loss of revenue In the end. It Is almost
certain that the oleomargerlne propo
Billon will fall.
Ifnmllton llond Hill Hnngs Fire.
The Hamilton road bill Is still hang
ing in the air, and whether It will
ever become a law at this session Is
doubtful. Only the Influence of the
state administration has put the bill
In Its advanced position. Many of the
farmers are opposed to It, and their
representatives in tho legislature have
adopted all parliamentary tactics to
Jefeat th measure. Falling In their
ftorls, a proviso was inserted by the
house requiring the legislature to ap
propriate 11.000,000 for the Improve
merit of highways before the new law
goes Into effect. When It reached the
senate this amount was cut in half.
Keturnlng to the house for concur
rente that body refused to accept the
Senate amendment and asked for
committee of conference. This has
been appointed, and It remains now to
be seen whether the committee will
be able to put the bill In such shape
as tu make It acceptable to both
bodies.
The codification of the fish laws and
the repeal of many acts which Inter
fered with the propagation of fish In
the streams of the state will have the
effect of Improving the sport of fisher
men, but would have been much more
effective if the legislature had not In
serted many things which the state
9sh commission did not desire Inserted.
A bill Is going through the legisla
ture Imposing a tax of II on bicycles
and pleasure carriages and $3 on trac
tion engines. Several rural members
object to the tax on pleasure carriages
and traction engines, but they have no
objection to the wheelmen paying the
freight.
Representative Focht, of Union
county, thinks that the only way out
of the revenue muddle la to pass the
Illlss bill adding one mill to all present
subjects of taxation. This will be vio
lently opposed by the corporations.
Hefore the end of the week the ruins
of the old state capitol will have dis
appeared. The contractor had 35 days
In which to complete this work, but he
has made such rapid progress that
those who predicted he would lose
money are now seeing their mistake.
