NOTES AND OPINION.

The relations OF the Pennsylvania Legislature
at Harrisburg, and the Constitutional Conren.
| ton, at Philadelphia, continue inharmonious
The Legislature will refuse to appropriate money
for printing the debstes Of the Convention, be-
cause the Convention has given the Legislature
d bad nane,-i. e., for chespening the price oi
corrupt legislation. Tho Philadelphia reprosen-
| tatives at Harrisburg are particularly and per
sonally severe on the Philadelphia delegates IN
| the Convention, telling bad stories about them.
All are Republicans.
Chaplain Newman remarked in his prayer in
tho Senate, the other morning, that he thought
the very foundations Of society appear to be un-

in this Kansas case the opponents OF Pome-
tive integrity BY betraying Pomeruy through the
tzeachery OF York but in fact it is only suc-
cessful piece OF rasca1ity- York was the active
yillain in the nffair. Pomeroy Was the dupe- II
it was conspiracy OF York and others to play
the game, this in no way relieves its moral Grim
inality. 4 law Of Kansas to punish Legislative
bribery that would subject Pomeroy to penalty
and let York 60 would be u1ockery Of latF.-

Unfortunately for 1lr. Pomezoy, there isn't
any law to punish - malicious conspiracies" to
entrap criminals. It may be ''malicions '' to
cntInp and expose Senator trying to bribe
Legislature, and We don't doubt it was ''1nai-
cious + but, if the senstor is guilty, which he
doesn't deny in his letter, re can't help regard
ing that sort Of malice as the most healthy
political symptom exhibited in Kansas this long
ime.-Detroit Post
There is pleasing unaninity OF opinion
about Senator Pomeroy; everybody wonders
why ho has not been caught before. In some
quarters he gets elaborate editorial comments,
and is used to point moral q column long. He
ia hardly worth that. Such men usually 60 to
their Own place sooner or later. It las been the
disgrace OF the Senate of the United States Of
late years that such men have been able to get
into it. We feel like wasting no words on Pom
croy, but We should like to belieye that his fall
aud Caldwell's exposure are the beginning OF
radical reform in the composltion OF the SEN
ate.-HartfoSd Cos1rant.
