Signing the Bills,

So far as the business of the last
session of the legislature may be res
cued from lapsing by the signature
OF the Governor affixed to the en-
crossed bills at this late date, just 30
far was that business rescued yester-
day. Sneaker KeilhoItz has suffi.
GENTLY recovered to have yesterday
affixed his name to ten of the most
important of the bills and delegated
to the clerk of the House of Dele
gates, j. B. Seth, the authority to
sign his name to the remainder.
There are some doubts as to whether
these bills have now become laws.
The first doubt is, Can Governor sign
any bill after the adjournment of the
legislature? The second doubt is.
Can the Speaker of the House dele
gate to the clerk the right to sign his
name to the bills? The constitution
al requirement is as follows: EVERY
bill when passed by the General AS
sembly and sealed with the Great
Seal shall be presented to the Cover
nor, who if he approves it, shall sign
the same in the presence of the pre-.
siding officers, and chief clerks of the
Senate and House of Delegates. -

ceased by constitutional limitation.

Speaker of the House? The Cover.

tons of its Speaker but there is now
no legislature and it would seem
no Speaker. 1t is true that a custom
has grown up that gives the Cover

session to sign bills but it is hard to

The arrangement for the national

Baltimore city in June next, are fast
being completed. The executive COM

it is safe to say that since they left

as warm a reception as will be &C.
corded to them by the citizens of

coming encampment would doubt
less be the largest organization, and
as its ranks would in the future rath-
er diminish than increase, that it
would probably be the best attended
of any that ever would be held.

The Coal Miners Strike.

A Well-knoWn operator, speaking
of the Panhandle strike yesterday.
remarked that it wasn't the mine
owners alone who were suffering
from the pits being idle, but the mer.
chants of PIttsburg and dealers of all
kinds, who supply the miners with
goods. Said he, 1.-THE pay rolls of
the pits that are now idle amount to
$500, 900 per year on moderate est.
mate, and fully half of that finds its
way into the pockets of Pittsburg
business men. 1t amounts to nearly
$35, 900 for every month of idleness,
and as long as this strike continues
they are losing money at that rate.
The miners, of course, suffer too.
But if all the rest can stand it / guess
we can too" On the other hand the
miners say that the burden of the
blame rests upon the operators,
whom they censure severely, for at.
tempting to "reduce wages In a ris-
ing market" Yesterday witnessed
no startling developments in the sit.
uatlon. Reports of small concessions
on either side are current, but there
is no general change. The introduce
ton of cheap Italian labor in the
mines of the Churchill Coal company
at Youngstown, which was referred
to in the Geographic columns of this
paper last week, has not yet had any
effect in the Panhandle region as lar
as could be ascertained, through there
is still talk of bringing in negroes
from Virginia, ami white miners
from other points, to take the place
of the strikers. -Pitsburg Dispatch

Signing of legislative Acts.

On Wednesday of last week Gov.
Hamilton met President Williams
and Secretary Miller, of the Senate,
and Chief Clerk Seth, of the House,
in the parlor of Speaker Keilholtz's
residence, Baltimore, for the purpose
of affixing his signature to such of
the remaining Acts of the late Legis-
lature as he approved. For fear that
the Speakers strength would not be
adequate to signing his own name to
all the Acts, tire Governor selected
ten that he considered the most i'm.
portant. These were. the Appropri-
alton Bill to meet the expenses of
the State for the two years following
the first of next September. the Bill
legalizing Primary Elections in Bal
timore, that to reduce the cost of pub.
fishing the Laws. to change the mode
of contracting for the Legislative
printing, the Baltimore Five Million
Sewage Bill, the abolition of the
Superintendent of the Telegraph to
the House of Correction, the repeal
of the law giving the Secretary of the
Senate $4,000 for recording vital
statistics, and the Congressional reap
Dortionment.
A power of attorney being execu-
ted by the speaker, authorizing Chief
Clerk Seth to sign his name for him,
the Governor proceeded to sign two
hundred and fifty other bills. He
also vetoed the bills providing for an
additional oyster sloop, appropriating
$1,000 to be expended in procuring
copies of the Revised Code for the
magistrates, and for the payment of
a private claim.

fession of his change offaith "When

see how we are to be benefited or be
successful if we are to countenance
perjury and crime carried on under
the pretence of aiding the Democratic

of this tenor published from time

nounced them a 'sectionalism" and
as an Infamous waving ofthe "bloody

More About the Mercy Letter.

Morey letter forgery. 1t was assert.

be Henry H. Hadley. 1t was also
stated that John l. Davenport's re.
cent visit to Cumberland, Maryland
has been fruitful of important results.
and that an entirely new light would
be shed on the investigation. 1t will
be remembered that during the first
excitement over the publication of the

brought into the controversy, and
that for several weeks, it was alleged.
he was absent from the city, and
was supposed to be ferreting out Ger.
tain clews in connection with the
origin of the letter. Col. IIadley ia

a statement has been prepared by
him for publication which will go far
toward unraveling this mystery.

nothing can be learned concerning

The Democratic organs are just now
Offering the party much advice on
the best method of improving its
supposed bright prospects. They say
if it makes no blunders, stops trying
to tinker with the currency, pro.
poses fair revision of the tariff and
behaves itself generally, it can carry
the next House OF Representatives
and ride into power on tidal wave
in 1894. But the Democratic paper
that proposes the most reasonable
plan for bringing about decisive
party victory this fall is The michigan
City (IDd.) Dispatch. Its plan is this:
"Let every Democratic Congressman
and Senator, together with every
platform, makerand leader, take one
of the July steamers to Europe, and
stay there until the last week of No.
yember. On their return they will
find the Democrats in power by
large majority. And until something
of this kind is done. unless by some
miraculous agency silence falls like
pOnltice to heal the idiOcy of sound
it is be to feared that the Republicans
will enjoy an everlasting picnic. 1t
is needless to say that these words
are written more in sorrow than in
anger"

this usage. But it will be still hard
er to find any constitutional authori-
ty in the ex-Speaker to delegate to
another person the duty which the
Constitution imposes upon him, and
out of the two hundred and sixty
bills which the Governor signed yes
terday, there are two hundred and
fifty that are in this condition. 1t is
quite possible that the doubts as to
whether such bills have become laws
may be tested in the courts. Bolto.
