COMPARIBIOXS.
There nro some minds construotod
like interrogation points, always
asking questions. The Press is not
exactly built on this line, but there
are some things it would like to
know one for instance.
April 9, 1896, tho Commissioners
of Piko County lot a bridge in
Lehman township called the Snyder
bridgo, tho dimensions, cost and
contractor of which were as follows :
Length, 35 feet ; roadway, 12 foot ;
height of truss, 5 foot j weight per
lineal foot, 400 pounds ; rolling lond
capacity, 1,600 ; channel, 5 Inches ;
needle beams, 16 inches ; joists, 6
inches ; plank, 3 inches thick. Price,
f 300. Built by the Groton Bridge
nnd Manufacturing Company. It
was lot after bids. Distance to near
est railroad station about 15 miles,
March 20, 1897, two of the Com
missionors, the other being sick and
unable to bo present, lot a bridge
in Blooming Grove township, tho
dimensions, cost and contractor of
which wore as follows : Length, 35
teet; roadway, 14 feet; height of
trubs, B feet ; weight per lineal foot,
400 pounds i rolling lond capacity,
1,400 pounds j channels, 4 inches ;
neodle beams, 10 inchos ; joists, 5
inches; plank, 2 inches thick.
Prico, $445. Built by Horsoheads
Company. It was lot by private
contract to S. B. Palmer, agont.
Distance to nearest railroad station,
about 10 miles. The Snyder bridge
cost 8.57 per foot, the Bloom
ing Grove bridgo cost 12.70 per
foot or 4.13 more per foot and 145
more total tlian tho formor. Won't
' somebody be kind enough to tell the
Press why ?
Tho answer need not uocesmirily
be accompanied with nn affidavit.
THE USE OF AFFIDAVITS.
In tho Port Jorvis Union of June
11th, an article on Pike county fin
ances appears." It is with the souti
ment only that wo are concerned.
The Press desires that the taxpayers
of the county shall bo fully informed
of tho facts rogarding the conduct
of our affairs and our officials. It has,
no desiro to " involve insinuations
or what may be so construed" by it
questions. If a plain statement of
a fiM.it sooms to thus reflect on the
management of our finances by tiio
officials, tho pooplo who draw the
inferences have a right to such ex
plana tions as may bo reasonable and
proper. A denial of bribery by affi
davits does not cover the grounds.
The " Piko County Taxpayer "
avails himself of such refutation.
We do not recall an instance in this
county where such a course li.js
heretofore been doomed necessary.
What wo nk is that tho reasons
for the action bo given. Present the
evidence pro and con nnd taxpayers
generally will render their own ver
dict. Wo hnvo in this issuo com
pared the cost of two bridges, giv
ing dimensions nnd such details ns
sjotned relevant to a fair compre
hension of tho facts. They were
bailt about a year apart in timo.
Their great discrepancy in price
would naturally lead any reader to
inquire why the difference. There
m 1st have been what seemed n good
a:id Biifilcient reason on the official
minds for tho advance of 48 in the
price of tho one built this year over
tho one built last year. This reason
if fairly mid frankly stated might
s itisfy tho minds of tho taxpayers
and fully justify the action nnd'
price. If it did not tho Press ctir
t linly ramld not ho accused of pre
ferring charges of misfeasance in of
fice or of corruption in tho conduct of
any one, nnd if tho oflloials could
n t thus satisfy tho .public mind,
wj submit that nil tho affidavits
which could ho crowded into space
b itween Dan nnd Beernheba. would
n t do so.
Tho pooplo of Piko county are
shrowd and intelligent, and wo
think fair, nud if the facts are pres-
e ltod, art) fully capable of forming
th ;ir own judgments and drawing
their own conclusions. Stacks of
affidavits procured of bridgo agents
anl published with or without, their
consent will not alono t atisfy Piko
county taxpayers.
Mr. Ismks Horner, proprietor of
the Burton House, Burton, W. Va.,
and one of the most widely known
men in the state was cured of rheu
matism after three years of suffer
ing. He says ; "I have not sufficient
command of language to convey
any idea of what I suffered, my
physicians told me" that nothing
could be done for me ; and my
friends were fully convinced that
nothing but death would relieve me
of my suffering. In June, 1894,
Mr. Evans, then salesman for the
Wheeling Drug Co., recommended
Chamborlain's Pain Balm. At this
timo my foot nnd limb were swollen
to more than double their normal
stse and it seemed to mo my leg
would burst, but soon after I began
using the Pain Balm, the swelling
began to decrease, tho pain to leave,
and now I consider that I am entire
ly cured. For salo by Druggists

Political Gossip.
President Clevelnnd pulled down
the American flat; in Hawaii ; Presi
dent McKinley pulled it up ngnin.
Indications still warrant tho be.
lief that tho tariff bill will pass the
Senate before tho end of the month,
and that the conference over the
difference between tho Housa and
Senate will bo unusually short ono.
This has been n sad week for the
few Democratic fossils who stil
cling to tho free-trado Democratic
theory. Ono-third of tho Southern
votes in Congress have either sup
ported the high protective features
of the lending tariff bill or refused
to bo recorded against it.
With ono member of tho Demo
cratic team pulling in the direction
of free trade, another towards pro
tection, still a third in favor of free
silver, nnd n fourth headed reso
lutely toward the gold standard, the
Jeffersonian-Jncksonian band wagon
is not making much progress.
The trade reviews nnd tho daily
papers of the country unite in tho
assertion that business is brighten
ing in all parts of tho United States.
More men are employed, tho volume
of new orders is increasing, and the
amount of work done is steadily
gaining. With tho final action on
the tariff bill, which mny bo ex
iceted during tho present month, nn
increased improvement is confid
ently expected.
People who nre surprised that the
Republicans in the Senate nro not
answering in detail tho attacks
ma le by tho Democrats upon the
pending tariff bill nood not suppose
that it is becauso of luck of argu
ment or facts upon which to base
them.
Their silence is simply becauso of
their unwillingness to consume a
moment of timo more than is abso
lutely necessary in getiing tho bill
beforo the Senate.
Every side of the Cuban question
is being considered by President
McKinley now, and n courso of ac
tion is likely to bo indicated in the
near future. The importance and
gravity of the issues involved and
possible consequoncos of a mistake
are so great that the President nnd
his advisers are moving with the ut
most caution, ns nny judicious citi
zen would do if such grave resonsi
bilitios were placed upon his indivi
dual shoulders.
Jf farm prices do not stop ndvnnc-
ing nnd silver prices do not stop
their downwnrd courso, thoro will
bo nothing left to sustain the chief
theory of the free-coinngo orators of
Inst fall thnt prices of products kept
pace with those of silver. Lending
farm products hnvo incrensod in
prico from 50 to 100 por cent, since
this beautiful theory was exploited
on the stump Inst fall, while the
price of silver has meantime stead
ily decreased.
"Rotation in offlco" is popular
with the friends of free silver as
well as others. It is whisperod that
the real eausoof the Chicago gather
ing of a few days since which or
ganized what was called the Silver
Republican Party was to set on foot
a movomont which should push to
the front an entirely new leader for
the silver canso and dump to the
bottom of tho deep blue sea, William
Jennings Bryan, who led the party
to defeat last year.
Senator Jonos, Vest and Mills
didn't know it was loaded. They be
gun shouting about a small advance
of 6 per cent, in the value of sugar-
trust stocks simultaneously with a
settlement of the sugar schedule
by the final action ujKin it in the
Senate caucus, but had evidently
forgotten that when the tariff bill
was m their own charge, in 1894,
stocks of this same sugar trust ad
vanced 55 per cent, in valuo during
their manipulation of the bill.
Tho fear that tho conference over
tho disagreement between the Hou e
and Senate on the tariff bill would
bo a long one is boing very materi
ally reduced by the fact that the
Senate has rejected the most im
porta nt of the changes' made by the
Finance Committee, and returned to
practically the House rates on
nearly all of tho items whore the
changes have created much discus
sion. The only important schedule
now remaining is that which relates
to wool, and thoro is reason to be-
liovo that the House ratos will bo re
stored in this.

(Special Correspondence.)
Harrlsburg, June 22. The revenue
pu7.le Is now no nearer solution than
It was a month hko. Senator Penrose
came to ltarrlshurs last Thurpday. and
carefully looked over the field, bo aa
to he able, when he returned to Wash
InRton the same evenlns, to enllRhten
his Renior collenpue as to the revenue
outlook. While In Hnrrisburg" he saw
Lieutenant Oovernor Lyon, Senator
Iurhnin, Representative Mnrshall,
chairman of the house committee on
appropriations, und others who are sup
posed to define the policy of the ma
jority on all important questions. The
fac t of the' matter Is, the present leg
islature U one which cannot be led.
There are too many Independent men
In the house for the comfort of tliose
who fondly flatter themselves that they
are tht Meadeis. During; the present
session every attempt at bosslpm has
been resented by the house, the strong;
antl-machlne sentiment tn that body
being responsible for the failure to
dictate the course of the members on
any question. At the organization of
the legislature It was believed that the
majority would do about as Senator
Quay desired, but after the election of
United States Senator Penrose the
lines were broken, and since that time
it has been exceedingly difficult to pre
dict lust what the house would do in
any crisis.
When the senate nnd house agreed to
adjourn July 1 those who understood
the situation in the leclslature pre
dicted that an extension of the ses-
rion would surely follow. They realized
thnt It would be a physical Impos
sibility to pass appropriation bills and
adjourn on the date fixed. Since the
visit of Senator Peiu-nse, however, and
the conferences with Senator Quay at
Washington It has been decided to
push business so as to get away on
July 1. or nt the farthest a few days
later. Chairman Marshall began re
porting appropriation bills last evening,
and the present program Is to have
three sessions a day this week, in
cluding Saturday. Those best posted
as to the situation predict that the
legislature will dissolve finally on Sat
urday, July 8.
The Poi-plexlnir Itovenne Pnzzto.
When the revenue question came up
the Independent element In the popu
lar branch of the legislature at once
made Itself felt in resisting all meas
ures designed to Increase the tax bur
dens of the agricultural and laboring
classes. The bill taxing "direct Inheri
tances, except those under $5,000, was
pushed through as an administration
measure, and reached the governor be
fore the majority of the members real
ized Just what It meant. Judire Ilan-
na's declslSn declaring the act uncon
stitutional, owing to the exemption and
retroactive clauses, resulted in a new
inheritance bill being Introduced to cor
rect the defects of the old one. But
rnl-anwhlle the members of the house
had been home conferring with their
constituents, and they heard so much
about the Inheritance law that was un
favorable that they came back to Har
lisburg strongly opposed to any cor
rective bill. This explains why the new
direct Inheritance bill has been drop
ped after passing through the prelim
inary stages In the legislature. Gov
ernor Hastincs and State Chairman
Ulkln, the author of the bill, mill In
sist that Judge Ilanna is wrong, and
that after a full hearing the supreme
court will sustain the constitutionality
of the first inheritance bill. As soon
as possible a case will be Btated In the
Dauphin county court to test the con
stitutionality of the Inheritance tax
law. It is estimated that thla act, with
certuin other smaller revenue measures
still pending In the senate, will pro
duce enoufc-h revei. ue to wipe out the
prospective deficiency and run the
state government on economical lines,
as well as give to private charities
some assistance.
.The present program Is to drop all
attempts to pass the beer tax bill and
other revenue measures, except those
unopposed. The real trouble during
the last month has been the effort of
certain prominent politicians, who are
members of the legislature, to get
away from taxing beer. This is a dan
gerous performance, and even those
who are engaged In the game realize
that they are playing with Are. They
know that any failure to tax beer, the
bills having already passed the hovse,
will be resented by the great majority
of persons, especially if the appropria
tions for schools should be cut down.
A prominent leader said to me that it
would be very difficult for any Repub
lican orator to go on the stump and de
fend a cut In the school fund by a leg
islature which refuses to tax beer. He
said that closing the school with one
hand and opening the saloon with the
other would strike the people aa some
thing uncalled for in Pennsylvania.
There are strange stories afloat aa to
the real animus of the opposition to
the beer bills. It Is said that a big
syndicate to control all the brew
eries of Pennsylvania has been organ
ised, and that many of the leading and
Influential politicians of the state are
interested in the organization. Any
tax upon beer would, of course, be a
blow at the brewery combination, and
l direct cut into their prospective prof
Its. May Cnt School Appropriations.
The program formulated by the lead
ers contemplates the abandonment of
the new direct inheritance bill, and
the paring down of appropriations to
the lowest notch. Not a cent .will be
appropriated that Is not absolutely
necessary. It Is proposed to whack a
couple hundred thousand off the Na
tional Guard as a starter, and to knock
tome of the fat appropriations to fa
vored Institutions, Including the state
normal schools. It Is understood that
a million or two will be lopped off the
public school appropriations, provid
ing ths representatives of the farming
constituencies tn the legislature do not
itand aa a stone walk against this prop
osition. Already Representatives Young
and Smith, of Tioga, county, have or
.anlatd an anti-school cut legion, num
bering over a hundred members. These
have pledged themselves to vote
against any reduction of the school
funds, and it does not appear how the
program to cut the appruprmtlou can
be curried out under the circumstances.
Those who favor the reduction of the
appropriation ooint to the fact that
Pennsylvania givea to education nearly
at per cent of her total revenue, aa
against but 12 per cent In New York.
It ta urgued that education la getting
more than a due share of the income
of tho rpmmonwe!th, especially in
view of the fact that mane charitable
institutions are denied state aid.
Governor Hastings hns already ao-
provod about 116 bills, many of them
of purely local Interest. This feature
of legislation hns called attention to
the objection that has frequently been
raised since the adoption of the new
constitution to the inhibition against
special legislation. It Is admitted now
that the right to pass special acta of
assembly to cover peculiar cases would
be a very desirable thing In our state
economy. Under the present constitu
tion all local matters must be covered
n a general act, applying to the whole
state, and as a result a lot of laws are
placed upon the statute book which
have no general significance whatever,
and are often misleading. As a result
of this not a few members of the leg-
slattire favor the calling of a con
stitutional convention to amend tho
fundamental Instrument In this par
ticular. After much parliamentary bncklng
and filling, the Young trolley bill has
been done to death. It was violently
opposed by the steam railroad Inter
ests, and while the electric railroad
people were active in behalf of tho
measure, they were not sufficiently
strong to overcome the powerful oppo
sition of their steam rivals.
tepresentatlve Hosack's effort to
have the oleomargarine scandal com
mittee continued for two years failed
In tho house. One member said If there
was any wrongdoing there were laws
to prevent it, and they should be en
forced. Th Tnxnttnn of Aliens.
Among the most Important meas
ures approved bv the governor Is
the Stewart measure requiring banks
having state deposits to pay 2 per cent
annually, and the five active deposi
tories In Philadelphia, Pittsburg and
Harrlsburg 1 per cent on dally bal
ances. He has also signed the Camp
bell bill taxing employers of unnatural
ized male persons over 11 years of age
three cents a day for each unnatural
Szed person so long as such person Is
employed. The employer Is allowed to
deduct the tnx from the wages of the
unnaturalized employe. One result of
this act is the rush of foreigners in
the different courts of the state to be
naturalized. The governor has also
pproved the bill limiting the number
of Inrnntes of state prisons, pcnitentl
arles, Htate reformatories and other
penal Institutions to be employed in
manufacturing goods therein and pro
hibiting the use of machinery In man
ufacturing said goods.
There Is very little left of the ruins
of the old capitol. The massive brick
tower which supported the dome was
leveled to the earth a day or two ago
by the use of dynamite.
Governor Hastings Is giving himself
no concern about the revenue muddle.
He is perfectly willing that the gentle
men of the senate who have taken the
bit in their teeth, so td speak, shall
work out their own salvation along this
lino.
State Chairman Elkin has Issued a
call for the Republican state conven
tion to be held In Harrlsburg Thurs
day, Aug. 26. A meeting of the state
committee will be hold the day pre
ceding. The house has voted down a resolu
tion requesting the superintendent of
public Instruction to furnish the rum-
ber and names of the different school
districts in the state which have raised
less money for school purposes than
they received from the commonwealth.
Two years ago Governor Hastings de
sired to amend the school appropria
tion bill by Inserting a proviso that no
district should receive more money
than It raised for school purposes by
local taxation.
The governor has given the legls
lature to understand, throutrh the
chairman of the house committee on
appropriations, that he will approve
no bill for election contests which is
not fully itemized. This will puzzla
some of the gentlemen in the making
up of their accounts.
Senator Andrews, of Crawford coun
ty. Is recovering from what threatened
to be a dangerous Illness. He was con
fined to his room at the Lochfel hotel
with severe hemorrhages of the nose.
Tho Delaware Dam Snake.
The Delaware dam snake continues
it ftlnuous course through the senate.
Thi.i bill permits the damming of the
Delaware river for water power pur
poses, and Is regarded as a vicious
irleasure.
A bill to establish a dental council
and state board of dental examiners
was first defeated by the house, then
reconsidered, and Is now on the post
poned calendar.
The Marshall bill to prevent cor
rupt practices at elections and limiting
the expenses of political candidates haa
been killed by the house.
The conference committee has finish
ed its consideration of the political re

senate in the amended shape. Some
members of the legislature do not re-s

form.
The Focht bill authorizing the re

Attorney General McCormlck has de

Six prominent- senators with antl
