LEGISLATIVE INcIDENrALs-Accordin to
the Lancaster Pa Intelligencer, it requires a
large and miscellaneous outfit to properly equip
the General Assembly of that Statefor the seri-
Gus duties of legislation. Among the articles
furnished to the Legislature and departments
at Harrisburg, for the present winter are emu
merated ''Four tons of soap, 600 brooms and
as many more scrub brushes, 300 pals, $50 dust
brushes and 100 feather dusters,f besides
backing and shoe brushes, nail brushes
combs, hair tOnics and shaving mugs. This
is not bad for State Legislature, but men,
personalities at Washington showing that such
articles perfumery cases, fans, toothpicks,
cologne, card cases, handkerchief boxes opera
glasses, shaving cases and the like are regard
ed as among the perquisites of national legis-
lators.

Maryland Press Opinions.

Franz the CheStertoun Transcript.
To begin with, we think it is an indisputa-
BILE proposition, that tile lars omghtto be placed
before the people, The laws are not made for
the exclusive benefit of the lawyers. The
laws are made for the government of the whole
people, and the whole people should have an
opportunity of knowing what the laws are. If
published through the papers, beyond doubt,
the whole people will have access to knowl
edge of the laws.
From the Hoge,sfown Neus.
No man can talk of abuses more vigorously
than Gov. Hamilton, and no one knows so we'll
as he that the people of this county, at least,
expect him to keep his pledges to them, and
press the reform they demand ADORE all others
with little more vigor and persistence than
he has yet exhibited. There are over four
millions of dollars of mortgages in this county
exempt from taxation, Il sum nearly equal to
one fourth of the entire taxable basis of the
county, and our people are becoming restless
in contemplating the wrong which the eXemp
ton of so much property does them. They
are beginning to inquire what all this means
When they see, on the one hand, no effort to
tax mortgages, and on the other, q positive
demand for the abolition of an Office 1.-THE Tax
Commissioner 81 which has laid heavy hand
only on vast corporations that have constantly
evaded their plain obligations to the state,
they are led to inquire whether Reform means
such Il change in the financial policy of the
taxes upon the land owners of the State;
whether 1T means simply a change Of men, on
q change Of measures in the real interest of the
masses?
From tile st. WaIys Beacon
Memorials are in circulation in almost every
section of our county for signatures against the
abolition of our present system Of tobacco in
which would deny free storage to the planter,
and we have yet to hear of the first man, black
or white, who has refused to countenance the
memorial or to Withhold his name therefrom.

The Rising Quarrel.

The New York correspondent of the Phia-
delphia Ledger writes to that journal on
Thursday us follows: Thoughtful Republi-
cans deprecate what they call the ''rising
quarrel" between Mr.. Blaine and the Presi-
dent on the Chili-Peru business, but the Stall
warts say it is an ''irrepressble conflict and
it may as well come now as at any other time.
The Commercials statement this afternoon
quotes Republican Senator saying, 81
cannot understand Blaine S motives in causing
to be published the recent interview with him.
self, unless he desires to break with the Ad-
ministration. | think Blaine has made a
mistake in this matter. There was no occa-
sion for him to come out as he has against
the President, as the latter has not said
word to justify any explanation on Mr. Blaine s
part at this time. | am inclined to think,
from what know, that when the President
does speak he will put Mr.. Blaine to shame
before the whole country. Mr.. Blaine's re-
cent interview is wholly unjustitiable from any
political standpoint and before long he will,
| am sure realize it.

o. L. D.-Republican Falsehood.

One of the falsehoods ignorantly or wilfully
stated against the Democratic party, is that
the present Legislature paid Mr.. Eugene Hig-
gins, Secretary of the Senate of 1880, $50 for
one days service in assisting to organize the
session of 1882. Mr.. Higgins, we are reliably
informed, had been performing service in con-
nection with the organization of the Senate for
five or six weeks prior to its assembling, and
for that serrice he was paid $50, and not for
one or t,co days service, as has been charged.
The Senate Chamber must be gotten in read
mess, a list of members prepared, and very
many other details arranged all of which
takes time and entails expense.
The statement originated with the Hagers-
town Mall and it has been reiterated by the
Republican journals of the state, which have
made it their own by putting it in their editO-
rial columns without crediting the Mail. The
mere statement of something against the Dem
oeratic party is enough for them to lend their
personal assent to it, without inquiring wheth-
er it be true or false, and in some instances
the correctness or incorrectness of an asser-
ton is matter of no consequence so it re-
fleets upon the Democratic party.

Republican Inconsistency.

When Democrat refuses to abide by has
party caucus he is patted on the back by the
Republican press, and his Independence is a
very commendable course. When Repub-
liean refuses to stand by the decision of his
party caucus the Republican press brand him
as an migrate and charge him with selling out
to the opposition. McCosker and Waters,
who could not ''bind their consciences'' by
voting as the majority of the Democratic party
had decided, received very general approba-
ton from the Republican journals. Two Re-
publicans chose to vote for Mr.. Compton for
state treasurer, and here is what the Cumber-
land Ne,cs says of them:
''The heroic test should be applied to every
Republican member of the Legislature to as,
certain the two men who so dishonorably be.
trayed their trust by voting for the Democratic
candidate for Treasurer-and hereafter there
should be two vacant seats in the Republican
caucus,

Although the New York Legislature had
been in session six weeks, the House was
unable to organize until Thursday, when c.
E. Patterson, Democrat, was chosen speaker.
The deadlock was occasioned by John Kelly
holding his Tammany followers alooffrom the
regular party, until certain demands he made
were granted. 1t is said that he succeeded,
then his followers, ten in number, united to
elect the regular Democratic nominee. No
bargain should have been made with him,
even if the organization had to have been
handed over to the Republicans. An open
foe is preferable to secret enemy. Kelly is
political hypocrite- pretending to be Dem
ocrat and at the same time being one of its
worst and most dangerous foes.

.s.-.o,,,r,, Io,,oo IF tIa Damncrafic Advocate.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 81, 1882
Nearly two months have elapsed since the
opening of the 47th Congress, and, while over
two thousand bills have been introduced 10
oblivion,) and much work accomplished III
committee, but little legislative work has Deen
completed The fertilization bill has been
passed by the House, and a bill tor the rehel
of the widow of Abraham Lincoln has been
passed bv both the House and the Senate.
The tariff question has been discussed, to il
limited extent, in the Senate, and bill, re-
ferrine the subject of revision to special com
mittee. has been passed, but the indications
are that the House will not pass the Dill re-
ferring the tariff question to special cOmmlttee
outside of Congress. The opponents OF the
bill in the House argue that reference OF
this subiect to a committee would be produc-
tive of great amount of trouble and delay.
The report of the special committee could not
be made before next January, or only TWO
months before the legal termination OF the
47th Congress, on the 4th OF March, 1888.
| The present Congress would, therefore, nave
only two months to consider the matter; two
months that are, necessarily, SO crowded with
work on appropriation bills, that it is ire
ouently the custom to hold night and Sunday
sessions during the final days of the short
term The subject will be discussed tins week
| in the House, but it cannot be foretold how 1t
will be settled
1t is still believed by many here that Elk
| Senator Sergeant will be made Secretary OF
the Interior, but the friends of the present
Secretary insist that he can retain the place
! if he wishes to do so.
1t is evident that Mr.. Blaine, although nc
longer an active participant in either the legis-
lative or executive branches of the Govern
ment, is by no means out of politics. He has
published long vindication of his South
American policy, and, after eomparingit with
that which has been adopted by the present
Secretary of State, majority of Americans,
l think, will be disposed to agree that MIR.
Blaine had adopted the more manly and just
attitude that a powerful nation should assume
between a conquered and dispoiled people
and their rapacious victors.

In endorsing and unfolding the Malone
reputation doctrine in Virginia, the Repub-
lican party simply followed its own example.
That party in Congress in 1871 passed gen
eral bankrupt law, which enabled such per-
sons as desired to do so to repudiate their old
debts. Reputation is an old doctrine with
Republicans, and they would repudiate, OF to
use more polite terms for roguery, "readjust
the national debt or 'cleminate'' a portion,
if such act would secure further lease of
mower.

A Reckless Sleighing Party.

A dispatch from Reading, Pa, February 2,
says "A two-horse sleigh, containing Howard
Rambo, George Smith and eight ladies', from
Birdsboro, approached this city at high rate
of speed about eight 0 clock last evening and
striking Joseph Fegley, aged fifty-fv threw
him under the runner, caught his neck and
dragged him for forty yards before the sleigh
could be stopped. He was taken to hotel
and expired in few moments. The sleigh
ing party drove right on, however, until they
reached Drover's Hotel, where they ran into a
team. They were then arrested, the men be-
ing locked up and the women taken to the
house of some friends. The cause of the ac-
eident was liquor, as Rambo was intoxicated
and could not manage the team.

The New Registration Bill.

The new registration bill passed the Senate
on Tuesday by unanimous vote, Democrats
and Republicans voting for it alike. Senator
Steiner, in voting ''aye," said ''the republi-
cans had endeavored to amend the bill in ac-
cord with the spirit of the times and secure
minority representation but had failed, and
accepted this bill to get rid of the "dead
wood in Baltimore city. That was all bum
combe. Senator Steiner knew the bill was
just and equitable, and much more so than
the Republicans passed when they held power
in Maryland, and more just than they would
pass now had they the votes to do it. Under
their rule Democrats not only had no repre-
sentation, but scores of them were not allowed
to vote. Senator Steiner must know this
is not forgotten, and will not be for years
