The Pennsylvania Legislature passed a
joint resolution a few days since to the effect
that after Sept. 10 the members would draw
no pay during the remainder of the session.
1t was thought by the Republicans who
urged the meas IRE that nothing would cause
their Democratic brethren to hurry up the
delayed work and go home sooner than the
stoppage of their salaries. The desired result
would probably have been brought about had
not the Democratic Governor stepped in and
vetoed the resolution. Peace reigns in the
breasts OF his followers now that the session

THE Wisconsin State Medical Society
passed resolution virtually declaring
consumption to be an infectious disease, and
urging the necessity OF isolation and dsin-
lection OF those suffering from it, This
action has raised such a hubbub around their
ears from other medical societies as we'll as
the friends of consumptive patients, that the
doctors now wish they had said nothing.
They are accused of being sensational and of
seeking notoriety, and the properly trained
regular practitioner would rather be
charged with murder than with these in
fractions OF the code.

TO labor with a unity for the success Of the

A STATE AT Ray,

One scarcely knows whether to ridicule or
commiserate the great Commonwealth of
Massachusetts,. The hoi barbaroi that people
less favored districts have long been ac-
customed to look with becoming humility
and reverence up to the great heights it so
Its prestige was so great that it came to be
generally understood that the greatest boon
any ordinary mortal could ask was to be
granted the privilege of gaining home in
Boston after death had robbed less heavenly
things of their attractions. Boston was the
acknowledged pantheon, the Parnassus and
Mecca of modern times. And Massachusetts,
politics was considered an improvement
even on religion. The sight, then, of Massa-
chusetts prone, and Ben. Butler COM
placently pacing up and down its
to the eyes of craven image. Butler at his
best estate has not been considered angelic,
but as an incubus, a nightmare, that will
not be shaken off, he becomes positively APP
palling. The cry has gone up and down the
State, Men and brethren, what shall we do
to be saved?" With objectionable fendish-
ness, Gov Butler has seemingly taken de-
light in proving to the outside world that
the halo about the brow of Massachusetts,
was but phosphor, and that its claims of
superior virtue were shallowest pretense.

For all these crimes the people of Massachu-

unqualifedly denounced him as another,
all of which can but be very
and long-suffering Governor. His distress of
mind must be very painful to witness.
From the depths oil righteous indignation
his enemies cry; "Unless checked here and
now these methods will surely bring the
politics of Massachusetts TO the level which
we have seen elsewhere, and have not been
slow to denounce." That's so; and such a
deplorable fate is to be avoided at all haz-
ards. Better sink at once into the depths
of the sea than to occupy the low plane of
sister States. This the people of Massachu-
sets will never permit-never But with

Hon w. NJ EvARTs, in an interview in
Chicago, discussed the political situation.
Among other things he said:
"In regard to the tariff the Democrats did
not know what they wanted, not being
agreed among themselves, while the Repub-
lican party was solid for a protective tariff,
and would stand squarely on that platform.
The doctrine held by the Democratic party,
whether avowed free trade or tariff for reve-
nue. only, could not but work degradation to
labor and ruin to the interests of the coun-
try. 1t is to foster and protect the industries
of the country that the present tariff aims.

was IN regard to it in Chicago. He said he did
not yet despair of HOadly's election, and did not
think his absence from the State would initiate
against him. He also said he had found the
Iowa Democrats all united and in line, and he
expected to hear good results from Them.
