OUR Harrisburg correspondent throws
some light upon the way by which Off
cial salaries, supposed to be fixed 10y law
and made unalterable by constitutional
provision, are increased by riders" in
the appropriation bills. 1t would not he
entirely fair to say that the salary and
emOluments of Librarian Delaney s
Office were swelled in two terms from a
little over two thousand dollars to some
thing over nine thousand dollars without
some pretext of legal form. but it is very
plain, as Gov. Hoyt says in his message
of 1881, that all such legislation is uncon
stitutionai. Delaney is an officer of the
Senate and his salary is fixed by the act
Of 1874, and being thus fixed, it is sub
ject to no increase or diminution during
its term. 1t will be pretended, O: course,
that these riders lin the appropriation
bills repeal that act, and that the pay for
his services during the recess is given
him as custodian of the stationery and
supplies. All this is characteristic
device of the ring to reward servicea-
ble party worker with double pay. The

The House In Which Lincoln Died.

A joint meeting was held at Washington
by subcommittee of the Senate and
House committees on public buildings and
grounds to discuss the proposition to buy
the house in which Abraham Lincoln died.
The committees agreed to recommend that
the house be purchased at $500 which
is s., Os0 less than the amount asked for it
There is no doubt about the ratification of
the recommendation by the full House
committee

ATTORNEY GENERAL PALMER de-
cides that there is sufficient cause for the
suit against the Western Union tele-
graph company, and will cause bill to
be filed in the supreme court of the state
praying that the contracts and consoli-
dations Of the company with other tele-
graph companies in the state be declared
void. Such a prayer can hardly fail to
be granted, since those contracts are ad-
mittedly in violation of the constitution.
That the Legislature has not enacted a
penalty for the violation of the consti-
tuition cannot be urged as a reason for its
permitted continuance. 1t is one thing
to punish for violation of the law, and
another thing to prevent the violation.
The last, ut least, may be done in this
case.

THEY are having highly sensational

which good many people consider not to
be Of public concern at all, and one that
should rather have had the veil of domes

it from the vulgar gaze of morbid Gu

Perhaps the fight against Window ends
with his nomination in the Minnesota SEN
atorial caucus by = practically unanimous
vote, but it may be just as we'll for Mr..
Gariield's late secretary OF the treasury TO
wait until he is out o: the woods before
he begins to halloo Fifty Republican
members staid out Of the caucus last
night, and Window couid only muster G1
votes oi the Is necesS ,ry to elect. Even
with the IL votes which his friends claim
to hold in reserve for him, he will still be
short Of the requisite number, aud all in
all it may be said 10 be very pretty
fight as it stands. In Illinois Governor
Cullom apparently has an easier row to
hoe, having been named by the caucus for
David Davis place after a spirited contest
that ended on the fifth ballot in Cullom's
formidable competitor. Just what will be
the effect of the resolution adopted by the
Illinois House and palpably aimed at Gov .
Cullom's aspirations, declaring any one
ineligible for United States senator if
elected while in Office of the state, has
not transpired. 1t probably gives an ad-
ditional phase to a problem that has been
for some time vexing three or four per-
spring patriots, but it is difficult to con
ceive by what process of reasoning Il sim
gle branch of the Assembly can arrogate
to itself the power of thus summarily
putting up the bars before candidate
who may be Objectionable to majority ,f
its own members though the choice of a
majority of the joint body.

COMMANDER GYE probably wishes by
this time he hadn't been so previous in
denouucing the Philadelphia reporters for
their alleged Misrepresentation of him in
the Albani diamond robbery At this
range it looks very much as though the
newspaper men had the bulge on the
doughty naval officer, and the whole
thing begins to wear the aspect of an
advertising dodge, rather awkwardly exc
cutcd by the diva's brcther-in law.

SEVENTY FIVE Thousand dollars sounds
like mighty big sum of money, but
after all it is poor recompense for a
blighted life and a ruined name. The
finding of tho New York jury in the suit
for seduction instituted by Miss Mary
Alice Almout Livingston against Henry
Fleming. the wealthy president Of the
New York refinery company, awards tho
amount named to the unhappy plaintiff.
The ease has been somewhat celebrated
one and figured ccnspicuously in the popu-
lar gaze. The announcement of the YER
dict was received by the audience with
demonstrations of approval, but perhaps
that does not argue anything more than
the natural sympathy that always exists
under sneh circumstances Tor "a woman,
apparently in distress.

At the great Centennial Exhibition of 1876, the
leading products of all the branches of the Worlds
Industry were assembled at Philadelphia. To carry
of prize in the face of that tremendous eompe-
tition was a task OF no ordinary difficulty Inven-
tions and preparations for the alienation of pain
and the cure of disease were present in the great
est possible variety, representing the skill and
profoundest study or the age, and It may be Of
vital importance 10 yon, personally, 10 know that
the highest and only medal given to rubber Pc
rous plasters, was awarded 10 the manufacturers
of BENSON'S POROUS PLASTER, by the fol-
lowing jury:
DR.. VIM. RoTH, Surgeon-3eneraf, Prussian Army.
j. H. THOMPSON, A. NJ, NJ. D.. Washington, DC.
c. B WHITE, NJ. D. New Orleans
ERNEST FLEIscH, NJ. D., Austria.
The decision was afterwards confirmed by the
medical jury at the last Paris Exposition. Know
ing the value of such high and unbiased testimony
the medical profession, bothin the United States
and in Europe, quickly threw aside the old, slow
acting plasters they had been using, and adopted
Bensons in their regular practice. That physi-
clans and surgeons of the broadcast reputation did
this, distinctly proves the intrinsic merit Of the
article
Ii is no more than just 10 add that the average
physician of to-day is not dominated by the pref
udices which retarded the progress and modified
the successes of his predecessors of not more
than twenty-five years ago.. He accepts hints
fiom all quarters and endorses and adopts demon
strated healing agents wherever he finds them.
The right of RpnsOu's Caroline Porous Plaster
to stand at the head of all external applications
whatsoever for the mitigation or cure of disease
is no longer questioned.

A Lively Bible Reading.


One OF the most interesting meetings OF the
week is the Monday night Bible reading, at the
Second Presbyterian Church, conducted by the
pastor, Rev. A. T. Person. Last night the tonic
the death of the martyr Stephen, and the
proceedings were enlvened by the injection of
criticism upon one of the Evangelist Barnes
heresies by the teacher He alluded to the
teaching that God does not in anywise afflict his
saints: that if trouble tribulaton comes. it is
the work of the devil and not of God-citing
Jobs experience as an example, and asserting
that the statement that his sufferings were from
God, is the greatest lie of the Bible. This, Dr.
Person said, he had found to be held among
Christian people In this city as the result of Mr.
Barnes teaching. to an appalling sxtent, and
he felt that he must lf: up his voice in protest
against It, He declared it to be q
virtual removal of God from His
moral universe, and in effect the setting
up of imperfect human judgment in deciding
what is good and what is OWL for US. From the
lively fire of crossquestioning that ensued 1t
was evident that the evangelist had some
friends and followers in the congregation, but
under the vigorous attacks of DIR. Pierson, as
sisted by several strict orthodox admirers, they
were put to flight, tgnratvey speaking. and In
the end the teacher of the evening "came off
more than conquerer." While disclaiming all
intention TO wound any ones feelings, lie de-
nounced the teaching OF Mr.. Barnes SO yehem
