FRATERNITY.
Knights o: Pythl.s Visitation and banquet

Knights o: Pythiss Visitation and banquet.
Last evening delegation from Penn
lodge, No. 105. Knights of Pythias, Of
Parkesburg, Chester county, paid a visit
to Lancaster lodge, No. 6S, Of this city,
the object being an interchange of that
friendship which is the corner stone Of the
order and also to witness the exemplifica-
ton of the amplified degree as given by
No. 6S. After the session of the lodge, the
visitors were escorted to Excelsior hall,
where they, as we'll as members OF our home
lodge, were entertained by sumptuous
collation., prepared by Mine Host John
Schoenberger, whose catering on this oc-
casion was not only credit to himself but
a satisfaction to all who partook of it.
Eighty two covers were spread, and it
was necessary to supplement these by at
least a dozen more to accommodate
all those who sat down. The long
table extended the entire length of
the spacious hall and was a delight to the
eye as the Sir Knights filed into the room.
Of course eonviviality and good feeling
were the rule of the hour, and the visitors
departed for their homes on the 1856
train, expressing themselves more than
pleased with this their first fraternal
visit to their brother Knights of old Ian
caster.

Our Oil Production.

We find in the Philadelphia Record a
statement that the shipments OF petro-
leum from New York from January
first of this year to January twenty
seventh, were over tWenty.iOur millions
of gallons, being an increase over Tie
shipments for the Saline time last year of
over six million gallons; while the eX-
ports from Philadelphia during the en-
tire month of January were Int three
millions, being two millions less than iii
January year ago.
These figures not only show tie diver
sion of the oil production of Pennsylva-
MIA to port of another state, but indi,
cate that Philadelphia is rapidly ceaSing
to be a port Of export at all. Is is the
business of the Legislature 20 inquire
why this is so. Philadelphia Interests
ought not to be thus sacrificed il they
can be fairly protected. The great pro
duct of Pennsylvania soil should yield
its legitimate benefit to the state and
its people. The fact is we'll known that
single great corporation controls the
oil production of the state and that ii
corporation foreign to the state which La,
declared that it does not do business in
Pennsylvania, and under that plea has
escaped taxation on its immense capital.
That it does not do business in PennSyl
vania in the refining and expectation of
petroleum is shown 10y the location of its
refineries at New York and by tie
figures of the expectation of petroleum
from that port. 1t takes the oil of
Pennsylvania, but without doing busi-
ness there, as our courts have decided,
and gets it out Of the state before we get
an opportunity to tax it. New York
and Ohio can lay their hands on the
Standard cOmpary's oil, but it is too
slippery for Pennsylvania to hold on to,
though it is produced from her bowels
Good nature is sometimes virtue, and
sometimes otherwise. In this matter it
strikes us very strongly that the state is
being abused. If the Standard oil com
pany is permitted to carry its Oil to Ohio
and New York, it ought not to be al
lowed to get away with it without
paying to the state a fair share of the
profits il makes upon the product of the
state. Citizens of Pennsylvania are re
quired to contribute Of their profits to
the support of the government. Citi-
zens of other states ought not to be
treated more generously. The Standard
oil company's monopoly of the oil traffic
ought to be broken up by the power of
the state. If it has not vigor enough fer
this act Of justice to its people, it ought
at least to make the bloated concern
pay for its stolen fatness.

TUESDAY EVENING. FEB 8. 1888.
The Governors Recommendations.

The governor sends 20 the Legislature
a message making numerous recomnell-
dations of legislation, all of them good,
though not generally upon matters OF
any vital Importance. 1t is wei! to
recommend the abolition of the office OF
recorder of Philadelphia and of the
office of sea!er of weights and measures,
which are not useful to the extent of the
tax they impose upon the people. While
the offices exist the governor is right in
saying that it is duty to put good men
into them.
The recommendation that the Legisla-
ture shall designate banks which shall be
the repositories of the public moneys
may also be a judicious one, though 1t
would be better, we think, to give the
selection OF these repositories to the
state treasurer with the approval OF
board consisting say of the auditor ger
eral, the attorney general and the COVER
nor, requiring them to make public the
selections they may make. The danger
in confiding the choice to the LegiSla-
ture would be that members would CON-
bine together to favor local banks, and
that in this way weak institutions would
be selected. While the state treasurer
is held under heavy bond for the safety
of the moneys in his care, he ought Ger
tainly to have voice in declaring where
they shall be kent but it would be wei!
to require his selection to be approved by
the other high officers Of the state
The governor recommends that election
ballots shall be required to be uniform,
which is n very good recommendation
and one that is within the injunction OF
the present law, fairly construed. The
ballot now is required to be tol,ied 81
that the designation of the office, ant
that only,' shall appear. Certainly th'
words I" that only" exclude everything
even though it be but a mark, that is moi
needed to designate the office. PolitIca
parties, however, lave been in tie prac'
tice OF Ornamenting the backs OF lh'
tickets so as to mark them, claiming
that they were not violating the lette
Of the law. Tie spirit was cer;aini.
violated, for that contemplated secre
ballot, which should not show by its face
its contents. The Legislature prObabi,
will readily comply with the governor
suggestion to make the language of tn
law more difficult of evasion for while
secret ballot is guaranteed to the vote
the state should exhaust its power II
protecting him in its exercise.
Among the governors other recon-
mendations, with none of which do W
find occasion to take exception. we tint
one we especially approve calling attel
tion to the wrong done III the state j
the pedd|ing Of its cd charters. Al! sue
charters not in use should certainly b
at once withdrawn by repeal OF tn
laws creating them.

Public Scrutiny Needed.

A silly and bumcombe practice has
grown up in the state Legislature of
offering resolutions on topics of fedora!
legislation, affecting to instruct Com
gress in its duty on such questions.
These resolutions are usually introduced
by callow fedglings who essay flights be-
yond their sphere for the sake of seeing
their speeches in the Record. If all the
talent in the Legislature were exercised
on behalf of subjects of state legislation
it would find ample employment. Last
night resolution was offered by Mr..
Hasset, of Philadelphia, asking Congress
to require the publication of the names
of all applicants for pensions, and of all
pensioners. The vote was eighty-seven 10
sixty-One, the majority being Republi
cans Joined by "A great many Democrats
The object of this resolution was to pre-
vent fraud III the pension system by ex-
posing each individual grant to public
scrutiny. Mr.. Morgan, of Philadelphia,
moved its reference to tIe committee on
federal relations, saying that he opposed
| any scheme to cast Il sti@ma of pauperism
on the disabled soldiers. Mir. Brown, of
| Erie, declared that the resolution was a
designed insult TO the saviOrs of the
| Union, and moved indefinite postpone
ment. The indefinite postponement of
the resolution was a proper disposition
of it, as it would be of every such subject
introduced into the state Legislature
but not for the reasons given by Mr..
| Morgan or Mr.. Brown. Such PROPOSE
ton, if made in Congress, which has
jurisdiction in the matter, would be very
proper for adoption. There is no stigma
cast upon the deserving pensioner by
having his right to draw Il pension made
public. 1t is to his honor that h. suffered
for his country. 1t is the frauds and
SneakS only who need fear exposure, and
it is they alone who dread such puhlic;,
ton. The soldier who lost an arm Dl
leg or eye cannot conceal his disability
it is a badge of valor. Let the imposters
who have obtained their pensions upol
false pretenses have their names em
blazoned in the public prints, as mucl
for the protection Of honest soldiers as
for the disclosure Of the humbuSS.

Il is satisfactory to see, however, a

system Of salaries instead of fees. The

OVER in Schuylkill county the bar
association has had a meeting over the
bill for saIaried county officers which the
Lancaster county bar association has
proposed to the Legislature and to coun-
ties of over 100000 population. While
it is generally agreed that these officers
ought to be salaried, there is disagree
ment as to how much ought to he paid
them, and one report has it that at the
Pottsville meeting the Lancaster county
bill was "picked to pieces - because
under its provisions if the officers do not
earn their salaries in fees for the county
treasury they are proporticnately re-
duced. The expectant county officers
here also object to this feature of the
bill, and in some quarters the fear is
expressed that if the county officers are
compelled to swell the receipts OF their
Offices to make their stated salaries and

large freight wagon loaded with boxes and
owned by the Pennsylvania railroad
started TO run down North Queen street
from the depot. At the corner of Chest,

struck against an iron post and threw
several boxes off. The horse was caught
