The fret at Harrisburg over the
salary question still continues. Sena-
tor Norris bill fixing the salary of
members of the Legislature at 81 500
was reported favorably in the Senate
on Friday last, which had the effect
of Frightening up the grave faces of
the Senators. This proposition makes
it possible for members to draw $500
for one days pay, as under the con-
stitution they are entitled to 81 900 and
the bill makes it 81 500. The commit
tee which prepared the bill had before
it n proposition that the members re-
main i'm session $50 days for the
amount named, but il was not favor
ably considered. The Governors
assurances have no doubt led to the
preparation of this relief measure, but
it is feared the Attorney General may
decide that the bill cannot be made to
apply constitutionally to the present
Legislature.

The excellent financial manage
ment of the Inauguration festivities,
has resulted in paying back every
dollar subscribed and leaving bal
ance of 81 5000 remaining in the
treasurer's hands. The total of sub
scriptions was, according to the re-
port, $l3, ,4S7.75, and the receipts from
the ball and other sources was S25, ,57s,
25. OF this sum of S99,0GG, there was
expended the ball, etc; SlO,032. Il;
on street decorations, SS,042.S2; on
illuminations, S3,3Sl.90; and for post
age, travelling expenses, etc, s., 22l SO,
making a total of $23,67 81. The
affair was conducted by business men
on business principles and as a conse-
quence no waste was had and every
dollar accounted for by a proper
voucher.

Our honorable servants at Harris

Our honorable servants at Harris
burg, the General Assembly, are
considerably exercised because Attor-
ney General Palmer has given il as his
decision that they cannot draw more
than 81 900 salary no matter how long
they remain in session. An attempt
is being made to pass "a law giving the
Honorable Senators and Members pay
at the rate of $40 a day for fifty
days additional. No doubt the time
would then be short enough to trans
act the business absolutely necessary
to be done. Great is the Pennsylva-
mia Legislature. They have expelled
newspaper correspondent, and now
if they get the extra $500 and adjourn,
the exclamation well done will rise
spontaneously from the lips of their
admiring constituency.

-Polygamy will soon be thing OF
the past, only to be referred. to along
with the crime of slavery as dark
spot on the fair escutcheon of our
country's history. President Garfield
is quoted as saying to Western Sen
ator: "Senator, as personal favor to
me / want you to take up and cham
pion this Mormon question in the
Senate. We must stamp out polygamy.
l want this to be one of the distin'
guished features of my administra-
tion." This is only in accordance
with the sentiments expressed in his
Inaugural address. The people will
uphold the Presidents hands i'll this
holy crusade against an unholy evil.

Judge Elwell, of Bloomsbury,
rendered decision in the William
sport bond case last Saturday. The
rule for the attachment against the
Treasurer and Councils of the City to
show cause why an attachment for
contempt should not issue against
them for failing to, obey the order of
the court, was made absolute. None
of the respondents will be arrested
who shall within ten days file at
Bloomsbury bond in the penal sum
of 81 900 for their appearance on the
9Th of May to answer to the Court.

1T is now said that there is
little doubt that the late General
Upton took his life while in fit of
somnambulism. His sister used to
rise in her sleep, and at one time came
near to throwing herself out of the
window. The General used to sleep
with loaded pistols under his pillow,
and though often demonstrated with,
in view of the fact that somnambulism
was a family trait, to discontinue the
habit he laughingly said there was no
danger, and clung to his old army
practice.

In Philadelphia the nuisance OF
distributing dodgers" on the public
highways is said to be almost beyond
endurance. Promenaders on princi-
pal streets have these advertisements
thrust into their hands or face, only to
cast them to the sidewalk to help, the
accumulation of dirt and litter. The
Philadelphians should advertise in
their local papers and then would the
nuisance cease. Take Ridgway for
example. Notice how our merchants
advertise and keep up their local
papers.

Hon. Alvin Bronson was born
May 10, 1888. He died at Oswego,
n. Y, on Saturday. He served in the
State Senate in 1892 and 1899. In 1872
he had charge of Government stores
at Oswego, and to prevent their cap
ture by the British, threw them into
the river, for which he was confined
in prison.

The Kansas amendment to the
constitution prohibiting the manufac-
ture and sale of Intoxicating drink,
goes into effect on May 1st. Many
friends of the measure are fearful lest
the very stringency of the law may de-
feat its power for good. A less rigorous
enactment as starter no doubt would
have been a better arrangement.

Russia is at present under a reign

Russia is at present under reign
of terror of the worst description.
Soldiers and peasants, editors and
merchants are banded together
to. protect themselves from un-
known and unseen assailants of
the public peace; and yet they
have no assurance but that the very
men they are guarding against are
among themselves. Nihilism raises its
head and strikes death dealing blow,
and no one knows from whence it
came nor from whence comes the
next blow. A little less tyranny on
the part Of the Government, and a
great deal more education of the
masses may in time solve the great
political problem with which Russia
has to deal, and bring peace to the in
hsbitants Of that distracted country.

1T is said that the rush of Ameri-
can people to Washington in the ca
pacity of office-seekers is, unprece.
dented in the history of the country.
1t is getting to be lingering death to
hold any high office controlling patron
age. AS the apple tree borers kill the
apple tree so do borers after office dry
up and finally kill the dispenser OF

One hundred and fifty ladies Of
Greeley, Colorado, invaded a Primary
Convention and insisted on participat'
ing in the proceedings. The question
"Shall the women vote?" was carried
in the affirmative by the ladies them
selves. Their candidates, however,
were at the last moment defeated, and
they therefore have bolted and put up
an independent ticket.

EDITORIAL NOTES.
CURRENT TOPICS.

After the death of the late Gen.
eral Upton letter was found resign
ing His position as commander of the
Fourth artillery. The theory is ad-
vanced that the resignation was made
with a view to getting relief from
work and also to allow more time for
the revision of his tactics.
