Why They Approve Them.

Harr1sDurg InUependent.
While Governor Pattison is obeying the
mandates of the constitution in his vetoes
and putting the mark of his disapproval on
bills notoriously Objectionable as measures,
all that his partisan opponents in the city
can do through their feeble organ is to de-
scDi to the gutter and throw mud with
lo~tpithets at him. There was a time
when the Republican party was differently
inspired and led, but in these days OF it's
degeneracy those who profess to speak for
it have neither the ability to do it intelli-
gently nor the manners to do it decentlv.
The mass of thinking men in Pennsylvania
approve Governor PattisOn's vetoes because
tho reasons on which they are based are
sound and the argument by which he sus-
tain them incOntr0vertible.

WORK AT HARRISBURG
The House lasses the Legislature AppOr.
tiOnment fSill.

The House rssses the Legislature Appor
tiOnment fSill.
The House last night refused to recede
from its amendment to COoper's non pay
ment of salary during recess resolution,
exempting employees and officers from its
provisions. Then it appointed commit
tee of conference consisting of Shaf1er,
McCrum and Voegtly. The action of the
House was messaged over to the Senate,
and that body again refused to concur
in the House amendment, but it did
not appoint q committee OF conference.
In short session OF forty five minutes
duration, the House passed the senatorial
and legislative apportiOnment bill, recon-
mitted the congressional bill back to the
appOrtiOnment committee and defeated tho
judicial apportiOnmeut bill. The defeat
of the latter, however, was but temporary
as several Democrats, who saw that there
were not enough present to pass the bill,
voted against, and then Immediately
moved to reconsider the vote, which was
done, and the bill laid over.
The Senate passed tho judicial appor-
tiOnment bill on second reading, tho only
notable amendment being tho separation
of Greene and Fayette. Washington being
added to Greene and Fayette made 4
separate district. In voting Oh this Greer
announced that ho was paired with VOL
verton. Gordon was Of tho opinion that
this was not 4 political question, when
Cooper chimod in with the remark that
there was y political question involved,
''iuasmuch rs Sebright, the friend of
Dukes, is candidate in Fayotte for the
judgcship." Lieutenant Governor Black
looked stern, and intimated that there
should bo no reflections cast.

barthOldl's statue,

At Paris the semi official N0ltdire pub
fishes an interview with Bartholdi, prcfaced
by the following reflection "Iu Ameri-
ca France has not reaped the due amount
of grateful acknowledgment that an
emancipated nation should always have
for its iberator. After describ-
ing Bartholdi as man of ner-
vous temperament, but solids and sec,
with beard chatain clair, sprinkled with
white hairs, there follows long inter-
view. of which the following is an extract:
Noltaire-" Americans seem to have
forgotten that we once contributed to
their freedom. Do you think the value of
tho present will be sufficiently appreci-
ated ?''
Bartholdi-" Oh, yes hope the statue
ofliberty will have its effect down there,
It will remind the Yankees of. France; that
the emigrants from a certain country,
which it is needless to name, strive to
efface." BY tho " "emigrants of certain
country" Mr.. Bartholdi naturally refers
to the Germans.

The Candidates State.

In most of the calculationsf for SSi made
nowadays reference is had to the doubt
full states of New York and Indiana,
and it is counted that the Democrats
must take somebody who can carry
one or both of these states. But it is 10y
no means certain that such man is
most likely to be found in them. Indeed
their very position as pivotal states has
engendered fierce feuds in the party OF
these states which have well nigh killed
off all their men of prominence and
made outsiders stronger there than their
own men.
Meanwhile the party in Ohio and
Pennsylvania has been strengthened 10y
victory and more efficient organization
until both these states are fairly classetl
as debatal,le ground for 1881. There is
a little friction over Hoadley's nomina
tiOn, but il does not threaten to be seri-
Gus, and if he carries the state, Us seems
altogether probable. the Ohio delegation
will go into the next Democratic Con-
vention with an apparent right to be
considered of that weight which attaches
to the representatives of a great state
whose electoral vote may he cast for the
nominee. But in Pennsylvania the con
dition of the party l.; still better. There
is an utter absence Of factional strife
here, and the old lines are entirely
effaced. The party has learned wis
dom from experience and its leader
ship has brOadcned and is pervaded
by the best of good feeling. The
party has acted upon the principle
that the first contest it had to win was
for the control of the state government,
and that it could only prove its claim TO
that and to higher trust by good admin
istratiOn. Having given this to the
commonwealth it reasonably asks this
year for an extension of confidence, and
if it makes its fight for this it will viii
again. And, having done this, if the
present harmony and spirit of the party
continue to rule its councils, the Penn
sylvania delegation to the next Demo
cratic national convention will he the
most influential i'm its membership.

For Sound RpaSen.

It is an old and wise maxim o? th:.
law that fraud vitiates everything; and,
while it is true that after reasonable
time there should be some limitation
upon the power Of a party to 4 contract
to annul it on the ground that he was not
fully informed as to the circumstances
under which he made it, it is equally
true that the Grady insurance bill,
which the governor has vetoed, was So
sweeping in its provisions rs to legalize
the most carefully planned and craftily
hidden imposition. There has been
abundant reason for complaint concern
ing the tendency of insurance companies
toresist claims arising out of the deaths
of persons whose premiums they contin
nally took during their life without pro
test; and sound public policy calls for
relief to the patrons of life insurance
from this and other sharp practice on the
part of the companies. The bill vetoed
seems to have had some good features
about it, but these have had to fall be-
cause of the provision which comes
within sound objections to any enact
ment which seems to invest fraud with
the sanction of law. The governor is
right in thus condemning defective leg
islation, Notwithstanding the slaughter
ed bills have some merit. His wholesale
dispatch of the work of the present
Legislature will teach future bodies to
be more circumspecG and accurate.
These qualities have been so long want
ing in our assemblies that the statute
books are numbered with crudlties and
the law of the state is a jumble of con-
tradictions and maze of mysteries.
Better no more laws than bad or doubt
fnl ones.

spoke of the pleasure he enjoyed in coming
back once in a while TO the sunny home of
his mother, Methodism, to wander bit in
her pleasant gardens. Abiding to his
youthful aspirations after peace, prosper
ity, and work to do worthy of himself
and of God, be said {:
/" Here then is the first truth l would
love to open to you. Tho splendid ovor
plus Of youth and hope is yours now
as it was mine before you were
born and l trust and believe my
old hunger is yours TO DO some
thing like whole man. 1t is
the first good gift of God and can
find no fitting words to clothe my thought
of tho worth which lies in these days when
We begin to nourish Our ideals of what VIC
mean to bs and to do whom we leave the
old nest. For while the years that make
the almond tree to blossom, bring a worth
of their own, no wise man would exchange
for those that have come and gone this
worth which lies in the eager youthful
heart. To dream of divine adventures and
to run the risk of shipwrock, if ws must
in seeking new worlds belongs to the
morning tide of life.'
Mr.. Wilbur Fisk SpottswOO1, A. NJ, of
Philadelphia, Of the class of 1873, read \
fine poem after Dr. COllyer's grafton.

-1vsnAv EVENING, JUNE 20. 1893
ApDOiut the FitteSt.

We shall be- surprised if Governor
Pattison appoints Mr.. Schwartz to the
orphans' court judgeship of Berks
county, although the Harrisburg CORES
pondents represent that to be his inten-
tion. We shall be surprised, because
Mr., Schwartz is not the fittest man Tor
the place that the Berks county bar can
produce and we believe that it IS GoV-
ernor Pattison's desire to discover ana
appoint the fittest man. We believe this
because that is his duty, and so far he
has given strong indication OF his de
sire to do his duty without fear, favor
or affection.
Mfr. Schwartz is recommended to the
governor by Judge Hagenman and some
of the MEMBERSHIPS than score, we
believe-of the lawyers of Berks county
A larger number of these lawyers
protest against his appointment. In this
state of the facts, Governor PattisOn vii
need TO inquire for himself not only
whether Mr.. Schwartz is fit to be a judge
but whether he is fittest. Such inquiry
will be likely to result in informing thu
governor that he should not appoint Mr.
Schwartz; in which case We have sucl
confidence in him as to believe that III
will not appoint him. Judge Hagen
mans opinion of Mr.. SchwartS's htnes
for judicial duties does not conclude tin
question by any means Judge Hagen
man himself would better adorn othe
positions than the judicial one. He cal
hardly be satisfied himself that mature
has specially fitted him to be Il Judge
He shines much better as a politician
Mr.. Schwartz voted for Gov. Pattison'
nomination in convention, we believe
but that is no reason why Govern"
Pattison should make him judge. Th
governor will better justify MIR
Schwartz's vote for him by makin'
the best judge he can get in Berk
county. If judges are selected by gov
ernors because they are politicians, W
will have to revise the opinion we ex
pressed the other day that governor
would be likely to appoint better judge
than the people are apt to select. Ti'
appointment of Schwartz would give
very black eye to that opinion. Til
selection of Garret ID. Stevens-fOr in
stance-wOuld confirm it.

CURED between two employees, Lafayette
Browder and William Thomas, in which
Browder tried to murder his antagonist
by burning him to death on a red hot iron
slab that was being prepared for
converting into nails. The slab was
four feet long and twelve inches wide,
and was of solid bar iron welded together.
This trouble grew out of friendly scuffle
in which the twopa1ties engaged. Thomas
though smaller man, was getting the
best of BrOwder in the scuffie, which,
together with the taunts of the bystanders
and the evident satisfaction of Thomas, 50
enraged BrOwder that he lost all control
of himself, and seeing the red hot slab,
Immediately, with tho strength of an in-
furiated mailman, threw his antagonist on
tho seething iron, holding him there until
pulled away by friends.
When taken from tho slab Thomas pro
sented sickening sight. From his head
to his heels he was . mass Of blisters, his
hack and legs being almost roasted to a
crisp. The witnesses on the trial testified
that the appearance of the unfortunate
man was most horrible, and that mum
ber of persons were compelled to leave the
presence of the body to escape fainting.
1t was with difficulty that Browder could
DO draggel off the poor fellow, and he
seemed determined to roast him alive.
The mus es of the shoulders and the
tendons of the legs are frightfully burned,
and should the wretched man recover,
which is doubted, he will hardly recover
himself enough to be able to work at his
trade. Browder was promptly arrested
by the police authorities on q charge of
felonious assault, and was put upon his
preliminary trial before justice of the
Opace
