The Young Democratic Governor of
Pennsylvania Gets an Endorse
ment he Little Suspects.
PHILADELPHIA, Penn, July 10
The Times of this city which has
fought Governor Pattison bitterly, has
an article this morning on his last and
greatest veto that created quite sen
sation 1t says Governor PattisOn' S
veto of the neutrality-suspicious.
in the general appropriation bill is one
of the most creditable acts of his ad-
ministration. At first blush it would
seem to be merely the wise looping off
OF eXtravagant appropriations; but a
more careful examination of the veto
exhibits a sound fundamental princi-
y" as the basis of the executive obiec-
1. rs.
OF course, the veto will be jeered
and belittled by the disappointed sub
ordinates of the Legislature and those
who are more than ready to overlook
irregularities III paying out public
money. 1t is always unpopular about
Harrisburg to ask of the dependents
of the legislature to earn their salar
les and to receive no more than they
lawfully earn; but Governor Pattison
has established wholesome principle
by his veto that will be felt for
years to come. 1t will stop the des-
perate jostling for place about the
legislature and it will make the law
more sacredly respected in the foun-
tain of the laws of the common
wealth.
To all appearance the pruning was
impartial, applying to democratic
house employe and republican senate
officer alike. The vetoe of the post

the American says: Excepting the
fact that he possesses one leg less than
other members Of his species, he is a

Mr. Polston's back yard, and resented
an interference with his long tail by
kicking as vigorously and with rs
mach grace and precision as an old
mule The entire left fore shoulder
and leg of this remarkable animal is
missing. the only effort whicli nature
seems to have made to supply this
want being a bone something in the
shape Of a seals fin, and about the
same size.

that prisoners are overworked, bru
tally treated, and even that some have
been murdered by inhuman guards
and that no inquests have been held
on any prisoners dying at the institu
ton. The local paper sent a reporter
to the farm and vicinity, and if the

An official investigation and sensa-
