COST OF LEGISLATYVE ELO-
OTTENrE

QUENCF.
One of the editors of the Philadcl-
phia Times has gone to tho trouble of
investigating Legislative expenses dn-
ing the last session, and complies the
costs of cloqueiIce to be as follows;
DThe cost Of our Legislative clo-
quencc is rather n curious study. Tho
total expense of publishing the orato-
rical illusions of our legislators last
winter was s7,66l 81, and is most un-
equally divided. Of the fifty Sena-
tors, General Jones, of the Fourth dis
trict, and strang, of Tioga, are the
heavyweight Senatorial debatefs
Strang scoring up to Sl79 so, and
Jones erowding close after him ut
sl75 so. In point of volume of dis
putation the Fourth district is but
81 behind tho pine forests of 'rioga
and Potter, Bechtcl, of Schuylkill,
jostlcs Jones at sl72 "a, and Rutan
chalks STAG "a, while Wallace, the
Dmeocatic leader, who never spoke
except when he had something to say,
drops down 10 500 40. Col, Davis
talked s103 Oh out of the Treasury ;
Lnmon took 81 92 worth of tho arti-
clio; Nagle thought 81 so enough to
express his views Hortcr goes in to
the tune of 72 cents; Dunkel drops to
60 cents Grouse thought "a cents
would do, and Alexander took none nj
all in his. McKibbin, of Franklin,
Yeakle, of Montgomery, and Alexan-
der, of Philadelphia were the silent
Senators. In the House oratory vego-
tated far beyond its growth in the
Senate. Mitchell, of Tioga, Che Re
publican leader put the State in for
s5i3 II TO preserve his cloquencc
Wolf another Republican leader, sailed
in to the amount of 1893 20, and Har.
ry Huhn, on the same side, thought
that he could not do Justice to phila-
delphia on less than sls2 worth of dis
putation. His Democratic colleague,
Mr. Fauncc, is immortal TO the value
of sl4S lG; Mr. Talley, of the same
faith, GRATED to the value of sl41 "A,

could not do justice to the Democracy
at a less cost than S236 4S. Of the
Philadelphia members, Messrs. IIol

Too THIN.-"7He Christian at Work
is the title Of Talmagc's paper The
publisher has sent us prospectus, but
we cannot publish it. The christian"
part Of the journal is too much like
the Independent, the Golden Age, and
other nicely named organs Of the
Beecher-Plymouth persuasion. 1t is
"too thin,' Mr.. King. You assume TO
publish a religious Journal, but It is, in
reality, only a Radical organ. The
christian statesmen business on the
Colfax plan, and liberal Christianity,
as practiced by Plymouth churcb, does
not suit this "old iogy" latitude.

TRUE AS GOSPEL The st. Louis
Republican, in alluding to another re-
bellion, says, "when you find a
southerncr who talks about a now re.
bellion, it is tolcrably safe to assume
that he did little or no fighting for the
old one. The most earnest rebels dur
ing the war are now the most consis-
tently and thoroughly loyal Yes,

dilating about rebels and another war,

the Confederate Gray or the Federal

of patriotic vcrmin, and will probably
never get entirely rid Of them unless

kill them Oft as the laboring bees do
