Witherspoon.

The literary entertainment given by
the students of the Witherspoon In
stitute, in the Court House last Thurs
day evening, is highly commended by
all who witnessed the exercises. An
extensive program was fully carried
out and the young ladies and gentle
men all performed well their parts.
Where so many read, spoke, or acted
parts, it would be difficult to particu-
larize the merits of each. Suffice to
say all did well and reflected credit
upon themselves, as well as upon the
Institute and it's able management uu-
der the care of Profs. Bancroft and
Tintsman. The program was, perhaps,
q little too lengthy, as well as some Of
the performances, thus giving the aud.
ience a little too much of a good
thing. The Witherspoon is growing
in popular favor and may now be rank.

good an institution of learning as any
of her sister counties She is now one
of the wealthiest in the State and if her
people were so minded they could by
slow degrees rear an academy or even

towns which would elevate her people,

terity to speak more highly the praises

Even With Ingersoll.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., June In the
star route trial this morning Mr. Mer-
rick read the record in support of the
assertion that it contained nothing to
show that Rerdell had charged the -.
B. B." check to the mail account by
norsey's direction. 1t Was due to
Judge Belford to say that there was no
testimony in or out of this case tha t in
any way implicated or involved him in
the star route matter. Judge Belford
was most honorable gentleman, hav-
ing high position in public life, and as
current rumors might be calculated to
do him some damage he (Mr. Merrick)
made these remarks in reparation for
any wrong done to him.
Mr. Me-rick then continued his argu-
ment. He criticised the evidence of
the defense at length, and in closing
for the day said that since they had
begun to bury men he might as well
follow it up. He would bury Dorsey
alongside Rerdell his fellow -conspira-
tors should be mourners. Over them
he would erect an arch, one end resting
on the grave of Dorsey, the other end
on that of Rerdell, and on the keystone
of the arch should be written the epi.
taph. They were delightful and love-
ly in their lives and in death were not
separated" And if, Notwithstanding
counsel's prayers, Gabriel when he
passes over these graves should blow,
and the corrupt and buried Dorsey
should arise an immortal spirit and
come into that last grand court before
the great searcher Of hearts before
whom we must all appear, and tbs
great searcher and all-knower should
ask him, "Were you not in the flesh
known as Stephen ". Dorsey 2" the
spirit would answer, "I don't remem-
ber."
An uproarious burst of laughter
greeted Mr.. Merrick's sally, and after
vainly rapping for Ords. Judge Wylie
adjourned the court
To understand the above, it will be
remembered that Dorsey, when upon
the stand as a witness, in reply to
every bard question bearing upon his
guilt, would answer, ~ don't remem-
ber. y Ed.

The Extra Session-Cut it short

i he Extra SeSSlOn-Cul IL SnOTl,
From Philadelphia Press June ~
The Legislature having failed to
pass the apportionment bills, the Gov
ernol has summoned 1t to meet in ex-
ira session at noon to-day. The Ex-
ecutive might have taken the ground
that the responsibility for not obeying
the constitutional command rested
wholly upon the Legislature, and that
it must answer for it's neglect to the
people. But he regards the mandate
of the fundamental law so sacred as to
demand every exercise of authority to
secure its observance, and he reassem-
bles the Legislature in order to give
it mother opportunity of fulfilling its
obligation.
There will he dillerances of opinion
as to the wisdom of the Governors
act. 1t will be urged, on one hand,
that he is right in doing all in his
power to enforce the constitutional re-
quirement. 1t will be contended, on
the other hand, that he should have
exercised his influence to bring his
party to accept apportionment at the
regular session; that an extra session
Involves large and needless expendi-
ture; and that the real reason of the
act is not to serve the public good but
to obtain a partisan advantage. BE
that as it may, now that the Governor
las decided to call an extra session,
the people will unite in demanding
that there be no nonsense about 1t.
They will insist that both sides in the
Legislature shall address themselves
to the work with reason, candor and
good faith, and that there shall Ee eH
honest and earnest effort TO reach a
fair agreement.
1t is both right principle and good
policy to proceed in this spirit. Only
in this temper can a conclusion be
reached, and q conclusion must be
reached or the party that stands in the
way will be overwhelmed with pop
ular storm. While the regular course
of legislation was proceeding, the sub
ject of apportionnent was partially
lost sight of in the general current.
Now the public attention will be con-
centrated upon it, and upon it alone.
The Legislature will not dare adjourn
again without passing an apportion-
ment, and the sooner both parties 90
at it in o rational way the better oil
around, Each naturally struggled at

The Airport ionments.

If the Legislature, when it reas-
sembles next Tuesday, gets down to
work in the right spirit it should not
be in session over a week. No other
bills or measures than the Apportion-
ment ones can come before it at this
extra session. The Constitution con-
fines its action in such cases to the OBJ
jects of legislation designated by the
Governor in his proclamation. By his
call it will he seen he names the Ap-
portionment bills only for its action.
That these bills were not passed at the
regular session, lasting over five
months, is matter to be regretted.
But the great amount of other business,
and number of other bills, may be
pleaded in excuse for the failure of pass
ing the Apportionment bills, districting
the State as it should be into Judicial,
Congressional, Senatorial and Repre-
sentative districts. The Constitution
requires this to be done anew after
every census of the people, and if not
done now it is difficult to see achen it
would be done. By reassembling the
Legislature now, Immediately upon its
adjournment, much expense will be
saved to the people, as the machinery
of the body is now in running order
and the members can 60 to work i'm
mediately upon the matter for which
they are specially called to act. They
will not be disturbed by other questions
and having the districting ones alone
before them speedy conclusion should
soon be reached. No party can gain
an unfair advantage over the other, and
natural districts must be agreed upon
We have never known anything to be
gained by any party in making unfair
districts. 1t, on the contrary, has
generally been to the loss of the party
so doing. The public sense of right
demands fair play, as near as can be,
in this matter, and no party has ever
been benefited in the end by what is
known as a gerrymander Of the State
The Constitution requires all districts
to be formed of compact and lcontigu-
Gus territory" as near as may be. With
this law plainly before them we think
there will be found enough of honest
and fair men in the Legislature to obey
the law and dc what they are plainly
commanded to do. The Governor per-
formed plain duty in holding the
members to performance of consti-
tutional obligation, to redistrict the
State at the present time.

ONE ONE rnIss HIss ONE EXTREMELY LOW PRICE TO ALL

the regular session for partisan advan-
tage; each would naturally do it now
if it were feasible; but the opposing
majorities of the the two Houses stand
as check upon each other, and it
might as well be recognized first as
last that there must be concessions ON
both sides.
The Legislature is bound to obey
the constitutional mandate which re-
auires it to make an apportionment.
To neglect this duty is to fail OF full
filing the highest public obligation.
The party which is responsible for
such a failure lays itself open to the
severest public condemnation.
That party will stand best and re-
main longest before the people which
most frankly and fairly faces this duty.

The Legislature Goes Home.

The Legislative gripsack will not be
unpacked, after ALL The two houses
met yesterday In extraordinary session,
in obedience to the proclamation of
Governor Pattison, and after the intro
ductlon of apportionment bills in 10th
houses, adjourned for twelve days, to
meet again on the evening of June IS.
Efforts were made in both houses to
get even with the Governor for having
convened the body during the hot
weather by an adjournment till next
winter. These efforts, fortunately for
the credit of the Legislature and the
pockets Of the taxpayers, failed Of sue
cess.
In view of the fact that the members
from the distant country districts have
been necessarily absent from home al
most continuously during long session
the public will look with some leniency
upon their desire to get home for few
days to attend to necessary private
business. But the public will not en-
dure the arrangement by which each
member and Senator proposes to draw
ten dollars per day for twelve days
time, in which they are attending to
their own business and not the business
of the State. 1t is probably true that
the individual members and Senators
could collect their pay during the recess
in spite of resolution to the contrary,
but the member who does it is simply
taking money for which he has render
ed no equivalent in the form of service.
The public will be clearly justified in
holding their representatives to a strict
account for their action in this matter.
The people should also insist on
prompt action when the Legislature
meets again. There are only four
measures to be considered. They have
already been introduced and as they
have been fought over and discussed in
every possible phase the members are
thoroughly familiar with them. Under
the circumstances session of from six
to ten days will give ample time in
which to pass the bills. There is no
necessity of a session weeks or months
in length to transact this special busi-
ness, about which the members know
as much on the first day of the session
as they will if they sit all summDr.
The people should make themselves
heard in no uncertain terms on this
question during the recess.-PhGla.

The Hessian Fly in Berks County.

READIEa, Iune THE Hessian fly
is playing havoc with the grain fields
in Cumru, Berks. Heidelberg and other
townships. The Hessian fly was not
in the section last summer at all. The
average wheat crop in Berks last year
was TWENTY-FIVE bushels to the acre,
but not ten bushels will be realized to
the acre on any of the farms where the
fly has made its appearance. No rem
edy has yet been found which will
thoroughly exterminate them, and they
are considered among the very worst
enemies Of tha farmer. The fly is
worst in Cumru and Heidelhe.g town
ships. If the weather is warm the
flies are hatched in four or five days
and multiply very rapidly. They are
about one one-hundredth the size of
potato bug. Two or three larvae will
Gaaee the stock to die, and the slightest
breeze blowing oyer the field will lay
