COMMENTING on the rapid run of
the Pacific express train, east, few days
ago, the Bellefonte Waterman sensibly
remarks:
The truth is, there is too much reck-
lessness among railroad conductors and
engineers They have 70 right to make
up lost time at the expense of the lives
of the people, and there ought to be
some authority to set positive bounds to
their rate of speed. Better to travel
slow with safety than to be launched into
eternity at the rate of mile a minute.

paper wheels, made by numerous layers
of ordinary paper pasted together 10
form the disc, and surrounded with an
iron or steel tire, are more durable and
elastic, and answer the purpose better
than iron wheels, and hence VIC see no

The Radicals Blocking Legislation
INDIANAPOLIS, IND, Feb. 23.-Consid.
cradle excitement was caused here to-day
by the resignation this morning of thirty.
four Republican members of the House,
which prevents further legislation this
session. The reason assigned is an at
tempt of the Democratic majority to pass
a bill re-districting the State in violation
of the Constitution, which provides that
the State shall not be re-districted oftener
than every six years. II was last re-dis-
tricted about four years ago.
INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 23.-Lieut. Gov.
Cumback expresses the opinion that It
takes two-thirds of all the members of
each house to constitute a quorum, and
will not recognize anything the remaining
members of the House may do. The
Speaker of the House also gave the same
opinion this morning after receiving the
Governors message announcing the resig-
nation of the Republican members of the
House. Some Democratic members diff
fer with the Speaker and advocate con-
tinued legislation.
The appropriation bills, tax bill and
most necessary legislation was disposed of
before the Republican members OF the
House resigned. There is quite COM
motion in political circles tonight and
lively time is anticipated tomorrow. The
limit of the session expires
the 9th of March, so there is not time to

tor, to act in concert with the officers of |
