Why is it that tho legislators who havo been most nctive in hehalf of tho Delnwnre Dam bill hnvo not loen representatives of counties bor derinf? on tho Delaware, but of the counties of tho Htato most remote from it ? June 2Sth,Sonntor Whito, of Beaver, nttempted to hnvo the bill again considdred,- and a vote taken upon it, but after having used nil the mengro arguments in his pos session to convince his fellow Sena tors that the infamous thing desired their support, nnd feeling that they had failed in their purpose, with- to fe lioiioif ilmt.iio last 'tis 'ue?n lionrd of this attempt to wrong the pooplo of Pennsylvania nnd New Jersey in order to bonofit a few speculators. Thanks are specially duo to Senator Brown for his earn est and able 8)eeeh in opposition to it. Ho was fully a ware of tho trro parablo injury it would inflict on Philadelphia, and hud tho satisfac tion of seeing the infamous bill killed. Philadelphia Evening Shir. Every one living along tho Dela w.vro will hoartily thank tho Sena tor for his successful effort in kill ing tho infamous dam bill. Had tho measure Biiecooded it would hnvo worked irreparable injury to nil the pooplo of tho valley. A man living so remote from this section ns Sena tor Brown, of Westmoreland, is to bo especially commended for the broad scope of his vision which en bles him to see over tho wholo State, and protect all her interests. Such a man is worthy of promotion, for the welfare of all the people would bj safe in his hands. ATTORNEY'S FEES. Some people have the impression that attorneys appointed by tho Court to defend those charged with crimo in this State roceivo compen sation from the county therefore. This is orronoous. When a person brought before the court charged with the commission of a crimo in Pennsylvania states that ho has no funds to employ counsel the court assigns some member of the bar to defend him. For this service tliere is no compensation provided by law, and the commissioners have no war rant or right to pay and do not in fact pay one farthing. Jhe attor ney nets on the request of the court, and however distasteful or laborious tho work of tho defense may be, he gives his best services cheerfully, and without reward or gain or tho hope thereof, in order tTlat tho per son charged may have a fair and im partial trial by a jury of his poors.

Last yonr's pxixiritinro ns a tail to Mm LHmioorntic kite wns tiit enough for tlio nvortiRe Populist,. He wants no more of it this year, nnd is di!t:rmitiod that ho will not hnvo it. , l'n'sidcnt. M'Kinlny has rnason to confrrntulato himself nml his lmrty on tho tact that tho turilT hill has hoen passed more quickly nftor his innmrtmition than any tariff since the first Congress. The fact that the Democrats pro pose, to ernh nil the fat oltiees in the St n tea where they are now nri;iiin another' fusion" with the Populists makes the memhers of the hitter party somewhat wary this time. Railroad men, manufacturers, nnd ImsintiHS men of all sections and parlies report marked improvement in husiness and confidence, juul pre liet that the renewal of activity is permanent in its character. Thenveranc Southern Democrat who Buds tho productions of his section well protected by the new tarilT measure, now looks with en tire coin pin isaiicy upon the fact that ot'.e-hnlf of I he memhers of Con gress from south of Mason and Dixon's line voted for protection. The demand for those heatitiful tables by which the silver orators sought to prove last j'enr that the price of wheat is dependent upon the price of silver has suddenly fallen off iiw'0 wheat ha continued to ad vance nnd silver has steadily de creased in pi-ico for many months past. Silver mine owners who are at tempting to carry Iowa nnd Ohio on the silver issue this fall should have a "business" consultation with Mr. Debs nnd arrange with him to delay the departure of his communistic organization until after tho election. They neod ull of that for votes they san muster. Tho Co nmissioner of Pensions does not agree with tho Democratic idea that tlfe duly of examining sur geons is to invent ways nnd means of keeping old soldiers from getting pensions justly duo them, and so has dismissed about five hundred torn). 01 nfcic examining surgeons who seem to hnvo thought that their chief duty during tho past four years. The proposition for n half flat dol lar has no further charms for Tom Watson nnd his Populist followers, lie has announced a new platform of a government issue of paper money which shall give n per capita of fifty dollars to everybody, and he expects to put this in tho platform at the convention of his party this week nnd send the freo-coinngo pro position to the rear. It. is doubtless a great disappoint ment to Mr. Bryan to know that ho is not to ltgure as tlio chief of tho silver movement in tho next cam paign. But tho mine owners who put up the cash for tho silver fight have decided that a man with a los ing record will not do for a second race, nnd have therefore passed the word along the lino that he is to be ignored in the future No wonder Chairman Butler of the Populist National Committee re jected Mr. Brynn s 11,500 contribu tion to tho campaign fund of that party under tho circumstances. The idea of supposing that so small n sum would command tho Prosi dential nomination of a great party is preposterous. A man with the financial wisdom which Mr. Bryan pvotesses ought to have known bet tor. "Dor one, l do not believe It pos sible to succeed upon a platform that demands the unqualified free coinage ot sliver at tho ratio of 16 to 1 Willi gold. We have fought that battle and it is lost. We can never tight it over unuor circumstances more fav orable to ourselves. If we hopo to succeed, we must abandon this ex tromo demand." JCx-Uovernor Boies of Iowa in letter to Col. D. M. Fox, of Des Moines. Demcratie support for tho pro tective tariff is one of the causes of tho improved conditions through the country. Business men who are constantly studying these condi tions are of tho opinion that the tariff bill which has just been framed will remain on tho statute books for a long time because of the growth of tho protective sentiment among the Democrats, nnd that with its lormanoncy there will be permanent business prosperity. Ex-Governor B.ios of Iowa has re fused longer to follow tho froe-coin- age-of -silver proposition, nnd is out in an urgent argument in favor of a paper cutTency based solely on the market value of the silver bullion ngainst which it would be issued. Governor Boies' repudiation of tho Demoeratio doctrine which presses to base a currency on legislative action which should call 46 cents a dollar is a severe blow to tho free coinagists. Just ono-twelfth of the McKinley administration has passed nnd in that time Republicans have done more in tho way of carrying out tho pledges of the platform than was ever accomplished in double that time by any previous administration When you consider that this has teon done witli a Senate in which tho Republicans are iu a minority you should celebrate tho close of the first four months instead of grumb ling because tho full four years' un dertaking has not boeu completed. "Protests" coming from foreign nations relative to the tarilT which wo are about adopting are not looked upon as a serious matter by our statesmen in Washington. A cold blooded statistician who wanted to see whether these nations would really carry out their threat? of re taliation against our tariff 1ms found out that the fifteen nations in ques tion enjoy in their trado with the United States a balance An their favor amounting to $1, 75(1,000,0(10 in the past decade, a condition they are not likely to disturb by adverse legislation even if our new tariff is not f rained especially in their behal f Washington News. The Republican party iu Congress has completed a record of which the Republican party of the country may well be proud. That a party controlling both branches of Con gross should ho nble to pass a tariff bill ns quickly as has been accom plished this time is unprecedented, and that it. should be able to do so when it controls but. one branch of Congress is a record of which every member of the party from the Presi dent down to the humblest member may teel prowl. luring into con sideration the bitterness of the cam paign of last fall, nobody would ave predicted or tnouglif it possible that .the party succeeding in that campaign, but failing to obtain con trol of both branches of Congress, could frame and pass a tarilT bill so throughly protective and so thor oughly satisfactory to the adherents in so shTirt a time. No such tiling has ever happened iu the history of the country. Indeed it has seldom if ever happened that a party hav ing control oT hut one branch of Congress has passed a radical tariff measure even in three or four times tlio number of weeks which has been occupied in the passage of this bill. STILL 1'1'SIIINd Fillt FINAL COMI'LK- The conference between the House and Senate will, it is believed, bo an unusually brief tine, i lie fact, that the senate restored to the bill most of the House rates on important features warrants the belief that the tinio occupied in conference will be brief, and that the bill may roach the President by the end of the com ing week, nnd become a law by the middle of July. AllOUT THOSE TARIFF PROTESTS. There are some smiles among the statesmen over tho protests against our tariff measure which foreign na tions nre making. The general feel ing is that these protests are, first, a piece of impertinence, since it is no body's business but our own what kind of a tariff we make ; and, sec ond, of no consequence in the bear ing on our commercial relations with those countries. Most of the cations from which havo come grumblings as to our tariff sell ns vnslT '" H. fliexr lvMr from ns. nnd while it is all right for thorn to get as low a tariff on their articles ns possible, there is no likelihood that they nre going to disturb their mark ets in this country by any retalia tory legislation which would injure their sales tons more than it affects ours to them. The fifteen countries from which hints of dissatisfaction with our tariff havo como have sold us in the past decade $1,848,913,523 worth of goods, and bought from us only 3,059,220, 7U worth. IIOL'SK TARIFF li.VTF.S HKSTOHKI). The important features and char acteristics of the House tariff bill have been restored by the Senate, and the bill as it goes back to the House finally will differ very little in those features iu which the vrjb lice have felt a groat interest, when compared with the bill as originally passed by the House. Jt is believed that tho conference committee- will in many eases restore absolutely the House rates. THE 8UOAR UUHKl'lLK SCKEA.MKRS. Tho violent effort to cast asper sions on tho bill and the Republican party with reference to the sugar schedule have met wittran ignomi nious failure. Tho bill as it stands is generally satisfactory and cannot be successfully charged with favori tism toward tho sugar trust, and should the conference restore abso lutely the House rates, as many be lieve it will yet do, tho bill will be looked upon as tho most thoroughly satisfactory and complete in this and other features of any tariff measure which has passed Congress iu many years. WILL TIIKHE HE A (TUiiENCY OOMMIS 8ION. The question ns to whether Con gress will or will not immediately take up the currency revision is now looked upon with much interest. There nre two sides to this question and both sides are being carefully examined by those who are to deter mine what tho course of events is to lie in this particular. By many it. is believed that, tho special work of the social session iu the passage of 4 tariff bill having boeu so promptly and happily completed, tho business element of tho country would prefer an opportunity to adjust itself to the new conditions in regard to the tar iff before being brought face te face with the currency problem. Those who hold to this view believe that it would bo better to defer any action on tho currency question until tho regular mooting of Congress in De cember and " give the country a rest." Whether this plan is deter mined upon or whether a currency commission shall bo urged upon Congress at. once is not fully deter mined, but the pnblio may rest as sured there is no disposition on the part of the administration to delay or trifle with tho currency question any more than it has with the tin iff.

Work of the Legislature Which Has Jupt Adjourned 4 TEST REMARKABLE SESSION. 1 ho ITriiMf Ono of (ho Most Indciionil Mlt of Any In l(c i-nt Yolll-s-TJie Fac tional Wnrntrn How the Qnostion of lialMlim !(,. venue Wn- Klimlly Settled tpfdnl Oorrof iHinilcnte.) HarrlpbutR, July S The roc-nrd of (he legislature of 1RM7 hH twen inndn up. and nothltin which may he said now will In the Rllfrhtept affect that reeord. In the closliiR hour of the pob Mon, when the era of pood frollnff pre vailed, and when the asperities of the Ions session had lieen In a measure BiiUHtthed away hy the fh"uphts of parting, Speaker linyer took occasion, In responding to some eompllinenta ry remarks on a resolution thanking him for his Impartial and ahle dlschame of the duties of presidios offli i r. to say that the present house had done much th'it whs pood and thnt, not withstand ing the criticism which had gone hron-lea.-it throughout the state, when f.ie people of the commonwealth had an opportunity to study the record of the legislature they would give -praise where praise belonged, and properly estimate the work of their representa tives. It wan a remarkaMe session in many respects nd much might be said f it In commendation. As a rule the senate is not much discussed, because it Is In the nature of a eoritinulnit body, but the house, betnff composed of represen tatives fresh from the people. Is always looked upon as the branch of the legis lature most to be praised or con demned. In this view of It, therefore. It Is proper to say that no house In re cent years was more Independent in Its treatment of.Dll questions before It nor more honest In Its effort to do that which was right. Of course, as In all large bodies, there was the element which cared nothing for public opin ion and was responsible to nobody. This element was responsible for many things which rellected upon the mem bership of the entire house. When the record Is gone over carefully It will be found that nun-h that was condemned never reached the stage of anal ac tion. Many excellent measures have be come laws, and It remains for Gover nor Hastings to Anally dispose of those which are open to fair objection either on the score of extravagence or vlclousness. During the next 30 days the governor will clear his table of the bills left hlin as a legacy by the legis lature, and he has said that the veto ax will be used vigorously upon all measures that are excessively ex travagent or which are against the public welfare. Tho Fa-otloiinl Warfare. In this connection a word about the factional warfare In the house during the session may not be amiss. Owing to the great fight over the seat of Sena tor Cameron, at the outset of the ses sion, a more or less hitter factional r.?tir,fr nrevalled throughout the entire six months of the term. The Waua maker forces lined up under the leader chip of E. A. Van Valkenburg, who managed the anti-Cjuay fight under groat odds with consummate skill. So well did he handle the minority, which held the balance of power, that he was complimented after adjournment on Thursday by many of the lighters on the opposite side. One of the most con spicuous leaders In the state said to hi m that had It not been for his tac tical resources and his ability to make the most of every situation the Quay people would have easily controlled and directed the policy of the house upon every bill under consideration. Mr. Van Valhenburg modestly disclaimed any desire to be regarded as a leader, but remarked that he had come hero as one of the friends of Mr. Wanamaker, to do all he could for that gentleman's elevation to the place of United States senator. Having failed In this he felt It his duty to stand with his friends and to accomplish all that It was pos sible to accomplish In a contest of this kind. During the closing days there was an exceedingly hot fight against the proposition to Increase excessively the tax on foreign Insurance companies for the purpose of Increasing the revenues of the state. Prominent Insurance rep resentatives from all parts of the country were here to argue against the policy of Increasing the tax of outside Insurance companies, In view of the fact that other states would retaliate upon Pennsylvania companies, and In the end compel the holders of Insurance polices Id this state to pay the ad ditional tax. The bill was defeated few hours before anal adjournment, and the tax on foreign Insurance corn panles remains at 2 per cent. The various revenue bills passed and sent tn the governor during the session are estimated to Increase the revenues of the state about 12.300,000. and this amount. It Is believed, will be suf ficient to pay all the appropriation bills passed this week. The Nt.w lwlcouse. l.uw. The most Important fight of the wes son occurred during the last 24 hours of the life of the legislature. It was on the bill amending the general license law When the bills taxing beer were aban doned In the senate another scheme of revenue was devised which embraced a general reclassification of licenses, Including brewers, distillers and bot tlers. When this bill came back to the Liouse that body, which had, passed the peer Dins originally, insisted that the proper way to raise revenue was to place a heavy tax upon brewers, and refused to concur In the senate amend ment changing the method of taxing the liquor n. en. Those opposed to the change contended that the new scheme was an unfair discrimination against the small brewers and dlutlllers In fa vor of the laige brewing Interests; that the bill stuited by Imposing a heavy tax upon the smaller brewers and end ed with a light tax upon the big ones. Su successfully wan this argument pre sented to the house that the report of the conference committee was over- y helmliiKly defeated, and the bill again tent back to conference, which report ed at 6 o'clock on Thursday morning vith an entire new classification, mak ing the larger brewers the heavier tax payers. After some discussion the bill is amended the third time passed both bodies and was sent to the goveruur. It is estlmuted that It will bring into the treasury about 100, uoo inure than the the present lb elise law. It provides that brewers, the production of whose breweries was less thun 1,000 barrels the preceding year, shall pay $-!'). and Iu this proportion the lute is increased until the brevrer whoso production reaches K),noo bnrrels and less than 800,- OcO shall pay fS.ooo. and all In excess of SIMI.OOO bnrrels per year 0.00n. It Is fur ther provided thnt brewers licensed hy the stnte treasurer under the existing law shall pay according to the classifi cation of the new bill. Hottlers will be required to pny f r.oft In cities of the first nnd second classes, $:t&0 In the cities of the third class nnd all other cities, $:'50 In boroughs and 1 25 In townships. Wholesale dealers will pay $1,000 In cities of tho first and second clnssJSnn In cities of the third class, $:'00 In boroughs nnd $100 In townships. There Is no doubht that Oovernor Hastlrms will approve the bill, ns It Is looked upon as the best revenue scheme that could be evolved out of a multitude of suggestions made on the revenue subject. Ellorts to Increase Appropriation-. I There wes much log rolling during the cloflng dsys on appropriation bills, but thei attempt of the senate to In crease the amounts provided for in the bills pnssed by the house were not suc cessful In a single instance. On the other hum!, mimv bills which came from the senate were tnnoinlnlously cut down by the house. All effort was made In tin' senate to Increase the amount allowed for the New York and I'hlladcl phla Junkets of the legislature from f.uo o J I0,:ioo, but the report of the con ference ( oinmlttce was rejected. Sub sequently the senate receded from its amendments and the original amount of ff..0'tn for the two trips was pa-sscd. The general appropriation bill went throueh without mnterlal amendments In the round up. There was a fight against several items, but they were not stricken out, nnd It remains for Oovernor Hastings to use the carving kntfo on the objectionable paragraphs. The much discussed item of $56,000 for fitting up Orace church for the use of the legislature Is In this bill. The gen eral appropriation bill also contains an Item of $20,000 for the rental and restoration of (Jraoe church for thymuses of the congregation. rteforo the general appropriation wns finally permitted to go through It was necessary for Speaker Hoyer to go upon the tloor nnd make a statement that the public school Item of $11,000,000 and the ether Item of t2'"0,000 for the state normal schnolR would not be molested. He grrvo fair warning, however, that tho time would soon come when the normal schools will not receive state aid. Senntnr Daniel S. Walton, of Green county, was elected president pro teni. of the senate an hour before the final adjournment. He Is a candidate for re-election in a Democratic district, and his friends hope that the honor conferred upon him by .the senate will assist him In his canvass at home. A Ftrong effort was made to put through the race track pool bill, but It fulled after repeated attempts. Some of the wealthiest horsemen In the state and many agricultural societies were pushing this measure, hut the senate and house were against It. Governor Hastings has approved the new libel law, and It Is now In full force In the state. It is not what the editors and publishers wanted exactly, but It a much more liberal law than the old measure. Tlio lfoirun Insurance Ncandnl. The report of the committee charged with the Investigation of the $50,000 In surance scandal wna submitted the day before final adjournment. After review ing the testimony the committee portR tnat mere wan n 4cmnd made by any member of the legislature for any money or other valuable consider ation for the defeat of the Insurance bill, and that there was nothing done or said upon the part of any member of the house or senate which Justllled the rumor affecting or impeaching the Integrity of the legislature. For 30 years the distillers of the state have attempted to have the legislature pass an incorporation act. They tried It ngain this session, but were disap pointed. It was argued against the bill that this was a scheme to enable the big distillers to organize a trust to freeze out the smaller distillers throughout the state. Just why other Interests and concerns are remitted to become Incorporated and the line drawn at distillers is not easy to un derstand. . tinder the act of 1X!)5 county com missioners, through certain proceed ings in the court, may lay a tax of ten mills for improvement of highways in the various counties, this fund to be kept separate from any other fund. One of the acts passed by this legis lature provides that 2 per cent of this fund may be appropriated for tho con struction of ror.ds for the use of hi cycles, tricycles and other vehicles with pneumatic or soft rubber tires. It was the last bill that passed the house having lieen reconsidered after once be ing defeated. Governor Hastings will begin the consideration of the bills on his desk next week, and he expects to finish the whole lot In ten days. Hearings have been fixed on the Orme. bill taxing store orders and one or two other measures. For the next sixty days the clerks In the state department will be busy day and night getting out the pamph let laws, t'htef Clerk Gearhart has at rudy sent to the printer many of the lWb which have been approved. One of the bills that was expected to create a sensation In the house died in the appropriation committee of that Ubody. It was the bill of $66,000 to pay the expenses of the senate committee .which Investigated the municipal affairs of Philadelphia. On the morning of the last day Chutrman Marshall reported this bill and others with a negative rec ommendatlon. The talk about the cap Itolwas that Senator Quay had advised this course on this bill, and Insisted that the amount should be paid some other way. Chairman Andrews, when asked utout the bill, said that he cared nothing about It, that all the bills were puid, and htt was satisfied. Stackpole. Couatmotor JltahborD' Cottage Hurtled. Atlantic City.
