Expenscs at Harrisburg.

The Harrisburg Patriot has performed
a valuable service In pointing out that,
Notwithstanding all the clamor made
about the expenses OF the legislative ses
sion at Harrisburg, the expense of both
the regular and special sessions of the
present Legislature is S206,07l 81 less
than that of the regular session for lssl
alone, and 1921 ,A66 95 less than the
average cost of three Legislatures OF
1878, 1870 and 1851. These are very re-
markable figures indeed, and 1t seems
almost incomprehensible that there could
be such difference in the cost of legis
lative sessions. But upon examining
into the expenses in particular we find
good grounds for believing in the entire
accuracy of the Patriots figures. We
have had prepared an exhibit OF
the expenses OF running the House
during the last five sessions, and
we present it herewith for the study and
consideration OF our readers. We take
the House as the best subject for com
parison because it alone has changed its
political complexion in this time. The
Houses of 1877, 1878, 1879 and lSSl were
Republican the House of 1883 was or
ganized and controlled by the Democrats

The Poles.

The correspondence between Mrs.
Charles and Mr.. Reese, telephone man
ager, will be read with interest ; taken
as it is with the testimony of Mr.. Diller,
also printed to day, to the effect that the
councils had authorized his committee
to authorize the Maxim electric light
company to put up wooden poles wher.
ever they pleased. 1t appears also from
our columns to day that the Maxim com
pany has been pleased not only to plant
apole before the front doors of Messrs
S'einmanand Ilirsh, but has further seen
fiji TO put onedown into the vault Of Mr..
Eshleman; the lamp committee looking
on approvingly.
Our citizens have plenty Of food for
reflection in the aspect which this pole
business is assuming. There will be, of
course, a general feeling of diSapproyal
OF the conduct of the city officials. The
councils are to some extent blamewOrthy
for the liberality which they have mani
tested to thepriyate spectators who have
been permitted to cucumber the city
with their poles, without paying any
thing for the privilege to the city or any
of its citizens unless, indeed, any Of
the city officials who show so much in
terest in imposing their nuisances upon
the city have II profit at the bottom of
their zeal which we do not charge, be-
cause we do not know.
But the councils, improvident as they
have been, have not been so reckless as
is charged. 1t is not true, for instance,
that the lamp committee had any proper
authority from councils to vary the
terms OF the written contract with the
Maxim company, The chairman of the
lamp committee says that he authorized
The use OF wooden poles, but he fails to
show any such authority to have been
given him by councils. Reese, the tele.
phone manager, says that his company
has been authorized "to place poles
wherever needed, providing said poles
do not obstIuct or discommode any Der
son or property" Therefore, he con
cludes that if he keeps his poles out Of
the middle OF the pavement, he is max
ing all the concession to the propert,
owner that can reasonably be expected
OF him. Quite possibly Mr., Reese has
some committee 10 back him in this in
depreciation, for there is no telling how
far councils committee will 30 in con
STRUNG the ordinances against the people
whose interests they are appointed t
care for.
The utter recklessness which is exhib
tied In planting the city full of thes.
wretched poles will serve the good end
of arousing the people against the wrong
done and of securing its abatement. The
people are the sources of power, and we
are much mietaken If they will patiently
