HARRISBURG, Jan. S.-The board of
pardous recommended the communication of
the death sentence imposed upon Blazlus
Pistorius, the ex Catholic priest, to i'm
prisonment for life.
Gov. Hartranft's message shows that
the estimated deficiency in the general
fund at the close of the present fiscal year
will be $2,173,060. The governor believes,
however, that by rigid enforcement ol
the tax laws, spreading the payment oil
most of the appropriations over the two
years of 1879 and 1880, keeping expendi.
lures strictly within the estimates. and di'
yerting certain suplus revenues from thu
sinking fund to the general fund, this de
| fcit can be made I'D. The state has paic
for the suppression of labor troubles al
average OF over $1o4, 600 annually for th,
past s years. while the direct loss to capi
tai and loss of ages TO the working class
es from enforced inaction has been enor

BY their fathers 10 the matter. He refers
to the increase in the public debt since
