INBErENDExr LEGISLATION.


INBEPENDEXT LEGISLATION.
The failure Of the Jil to legislate in
to Office the defeated candidate for Re
ceiver Of Taxes in the city Of Phila-
delphia, docs not produ e the slightest
ripple upon the flow Of popular opin-
ion. The defeat Of that iniquitous
measure is 50 entirely in accord with
the popular expectation and desire,
that none but those Immediately inter
ested in the success Of the bill aud those
legislators who belong to the ''ring,0
have felt the slightest prick Of disar-
poiutment. The senators who absen-
ted themselves from the sassions ofthe
Senate, in order to defeat this bill. are
fully sustained by the people. Scarcely
a murmur is heard against the course
which they pursued Even radical
newspapers Of the most mendacious
sort are abashed into silence. Somuch
for boIdness and independence. We
have observed with care the tone Of
the press of the State, and are forced
to the conclusion that this exponent of
public opinion, without distinction as
to politics, is decidedly averse to the
extravagant, hfgh-hauded and sweep
ing measures proposed in the legisla-
turc. The newspapers Of the State,
with the exception Of few servile
sheets, have spoken out in manly pro-
test against the pasting and folding
swindle, and the Philadelphia journals,
radical, democratic and Independent,
with only two exceptional cases, op-
pose the various Police Bills under
legislative consideration. There is al
so some NERVOUSNESS in the radical pa
pcrs on the subject Of the proposed
Registry Law, This measure is de-

radicals IN ihe ruraI ulStFlc'7' 'ley
would suiler more py SIrict resi9tfa-
ton than the democrats. Bradford,
Tioga, Potter, Warren, Erie, Craw-
ford and Lawrence gave, last fall, about
1900 radical majority. These coun-
ties are situated on the borders of
New York and Ohio and adjoin
radical counties in those States
With a rigid registration they cannot
give over 10, 900 radical majority. In
all the radical buckwheat counties, Of
which Somerset, with its l,40O anti
democratic majority, is an example,
the registration law will be hailed with
the nalcdictions Of the moantaineers.
The f0reign-b0rn citizen will, also, re-
gard it as barrier in his way, and if
he has, in the past, voted the radical
ticket, will, in the future, cast his bal
lot for the democracy which strives to
shield him from this blow leveled at
his rights.

A Two Cent Dog.

Not long since two cent dog sprang from
an alley followed by two cent brick. Round
ing the corner at right angles he came in
contact with the feet of woman who was
carrying jug of molasses in one hand and
a bucket of butter in the other. The sud-
den collision of the dog with her lower ex-
tremities threw her from her feet and she
sat down on the bucket of eggs at the same
time breaking the jug of molasses on the
pavement Ayoung gentleman, carpet-bag
in hand, anxious to catch the train, was run
ming close behind, and stepping upon the
fragments of the jug and its contents, tell
down on the chest of the Dutch weman,
who said, 'sMine Cot" The young man said
something about mad dog, but in moment
said it backward. In the meantime the dog
had run against the feet OF a team of horses
attached to wagon loaded with potatoes,
and they taking fright started home. The
end board being out they unloaded the
potatoes as they went. Crossing the
railroad track the wagon caught IN rail
and tore it from its place. A freight train
coming along few moments later was
thrown from the track, smashing up a dozen
cars and killing thirty or forty hogs. The
horses on reaching home ran through the
barnyard and overturned a milk pail, the
contents of which another two cent dog
licked up. One of the horses having broken
his leg was killed, and the other is crippled
for life. 1t is now mooted question wheth,
er the man who threw the brick at the two
cent dog, or the man who owns it, is respon'
sible for the chapter of accidents which fol-
lowed.-[San Francisco paper.
