Information FOR Tenants.

The courts at one time were disposed
70 con5.rue the law as Le'ween tenants
and owners in favor Of the latter, but
recently their decisions have been
much more liberal TO the tenant.
once il was understood that Whatever
improvement was added to a property
by tenant could not be removed.
There has been decided modification
of decision on the subject of late. A4
q general rule, whatever tenant
puts into dwelling or orects On the
promises for his own comfort, with
out the intention to permanently
annex It, he may remove it any time
before theD expiration Of his lease.
This would include such things as
cupboards, shelves, coal bins, and
even a stairway has been held to be
within the rule. All trade fixtures
and temporary structures, whether
frame or brick, ana without regard to
their size, may be taken down and
carried OF by the tenant who erected
them. Even q dwelling house is not
q part of the realty il the right to re-
move is reserved. All the landlord
can Iegitimately demand is to have
his property restored to his possession
in as good condition rs it was received
by the tenant, ordinary wear and tear
excepted. Whatever the tenant puts
in Of q movable nature he may take
away, but his carpenter work must
not iniure or permanently alter thC
property. All the decisions concur
that these removals OF Improvements
and fixtures must be made within the
term of the lease. If the tenant wait,
until his lease has expired the LAND
and all that is Oh it except the purely
personal property of the tenant reverts
to the landlord. d.-Er.

Yetoing the Pension Bill.

Harrisburg, May 25.- Governor
Hoyt has vetoed the act granting pen
sions to Mexican soldiers. In his
message the Governor, among other
things, says:
The principle and policy Of this bill
isa new and wide departure from pre-
vious legislation on the subject in this
or any other country. No conditions
are eXacted with respect to the several
classes included in the act. Neither
wounds, disability, sickness, disease,
old age or actual want are taken into
the account or made the ground for
this new and uneXampled charity.
All are embraced without regard to
length Of service, present condition in
life, necessity or foatune. Under It's
provisions q millionaire in the enjoy
ment of perfect health may receive
annuity of seventy-hve dollars per an
nun during life.
By the terms of the bill no exceptions
is made Of persons now enjoying such
bounty Especial annuities) from this
te,and the question whether it does
not confer double pension on the
class named is not unworthy attention.
Mexican soldiers now receiving seven
ty-two dollars per year from the gen
eral Governmento on account of wounds
or actual disability are excluded, while
q soldier who received no wound and
incurred no disability is given n larger
sum. A further inequality and in
Justice of the bill is to be found in the
fact that n soldier enlisting from
Pennsylvania as citizen Of the State
who has since changed mis- residence
and gained citizenship elsewhere is
not within its provisions, while those
who enlisted from other States are in
\cluded for no other reason than be-
cause they chance to have been here
ten years. Such residence can GER
tainly give no claim on Pennsylvania 3
bounty. IfnO other reason existed
why this bill ought not to receive EX-
ecutive sanction the condition OF the
Treasury would be sufficient. Until
some adequate and proper amend
ments to the revenue laws are enacted
the receipts from taxes must remain Il
matter of speculation and doubt, with
no certainty that sufficient will he
obtained to defray the necessary eX'
penses of Government, the interest on
the public debt, and to pay the eXpcn'
ses of organized and indispensable
State charities. AT this time We may
we'll hesitate before adding another
burden of unknown and cOntinuou.
magnitude without provisions for lift
ing it, and for the mere purpose o
gratifying q sentiment, honorable
though it may be, rather than for tn
relief of real distress,
The house refused to give the neces
sary two-third vote to pass the bill owe
the veto and the Governor was thu
sustained. The yeas were " (instea,
of l34 las required by the Constitution
and the nays were 63.

Saving Ton Million.

Washington, May 2.- Treasury
officials now guarantee that S270, ,0O0,-
900 of the fives will arrive to be stamp
ed under the conditions imposed by
the Secretary. Ab5ut Sl0,0OO,OOO
came in to-day from California,
mailed u week ago and therefore
eligible for continuance. OF the
batch, Flood, the bonanza capitalist,
contributed Sl,8OO,0W. A question
arises as to what to dc with the bonds
that have come too late and yet are
duly assigned. The Secretary will
probably address u Circular of inquiry
to holders asking then whether they
perfer the old bond returned with the
assignment cancelled, or wish new
bond which would lie identical with
the other, except as to the number.
All the 5s held by the banks are in,
except about Slo,000,0)0, and only five
small lots of 6s, less than $l,000,0O0 in
amount Of the bank s. securities, failed
to be stamped. A rough estimate OF
the extent OF the stamped loan of both
5s and 6s taken as basis of calcula-
ton led to the conclusion that the re-
cent operations of Secretary Window
in funding will result in saving OF
yearly interest of about S1O,OOO,-
coo.
