That Mr.. Randall will get the chair
manship Of the Committee on Appro-
priations is certainly not positively set
tied, though his fitness for that position
is generally conceded. Mr.. Blackburn's
friends are urging upon the Speaker the
appointment of that gentleman to the
position, and, as Mr.. Carlisle has not
committed himself upon that point, there
is 10 reason to assume that he may not
select Mr.. Blackburn in preference to
Mr.. Randall.
1t is n matter Of common remark
that there are more young men in Con-
gress than have been observed among
the membership hitherto. In the
House there are fifty members, so says
one who has made inquiry, under forty
years of age. The youngest member
is Mr.. Post, of PENNSYLVANIA, WHO is
now -. The youngest Senator is Mr..
Kenna, of West Virginia, now So. The
question Of interest is !: What is BRING
ing the young men to the front in poll
ties An examination of the faces of
the Representatives., as they sit ut their
desks, will show that the prOportionate
majority Of young men is with the
Democrats. Said Republican who
stndes the current of politics atten-
lively zone Of my principal fears
for the future arises from the visible
fact that the young Democrats are as
sertiDg themselves. They are taking
control of the party, and that means
an opposition to us of decision and ag-
gression. The old Democrats have
been made timid by frequent defeat.
They are afraid to take a positive
stand, and their vacillating course has
helped the Republicans 10 many n vic
tory. But these youngsters are now
crowding the old fellows to the rear,
and their influence is felt already.
Why, just look. The young element
has captured about all the offices of the
House The old fogies were beaten
out Of their boots. And tell you, the
Republican party will have to fight
hereafter for all it gets" HOWARD.

ly useless session for months after
it was painfully apparent that it would
be entirely barren Of results. Had the
advice of Senator Wallace, Chairman
Hensel and others Of the best men in
the party been needed and an adjourn
ment agreed to after the senate had is
sued it's ultimatum, the house Would
have sayed itself from individual and
collective disgrace, and the party very
probably from an ignoble defeat at the
polls:
Let 1t Go.
It adiournS after having expanded o.
yer half million Of dollars, without
performing the neglected duties of the
regular session, for which the governor
in obedience to his constitutional duty
convented it.
1t adiourns leaving the representa-
tion of the state in congress and the
legislature unequal, unjust and illegal;
in defiance of the laws of congress and
of the solemn oaths of the members.
1t adjournS after having established
monstrous precedent of partisan un-
fairness and wrong that may cause
grave disasters to representative gov
ernment in the future.
1t adjourned alta critical period OF
the industrial history of the common
wealth, with the possibility that its re
lection of the constitutional mandate
and federal law may cause the state the
loss of its representation in the next
congress.
1t adjourns after having perpetuated,
in the interest of political Toss, systems
of representation that are insulting to
the people, dishonest and illegal.
For this chapter of wrongs the rep
ublican senate, acting under the orders
of Boss Cameron, is responsible. 1t
abdicated its legislative functions, but
with the dishonesty of highwaymen
grabbed full pay from the treasury for
its neglect of duty and moral perjury.
1t voted itself thousands, not for work
done, but for work avoided and reject
ed. ''MonStrouS as such claim
would be under any circumstances,
well and truthfully said Governor
Pattison, g it is yet the more repug.
nant to law, equity and common sense,
when asserted by officials who menace
the very existence of republican gov
ernment by refusing to obey the plain
est and most imperative Of constitution
nal commands and give to the people
the most sacred and valuable Of pOliti-
Cal rights"
No legislative body has ever met in
the Union that showed itself so avarici-
Gus Of the peoples money as the SEN
ate, or so intent on grabbing every pen
ny it could dishonesty claim. No
southern bull-dozer or rotten borough
champions in old England, haYe prov
ed themselves such adopts in deviSing
and perpetuating swindling and thiev-
| ing schemes to disfranchise the people.
Let the senate go. 1t has achieved
an infamy never attaiued by its prede-
cessors and hardly possible to its sue
cescors. 1t has been false to the con-
stitution, to its oaths, and to vital in
terests of the people. The early days
of the session were devoted to conspi-
racies of disfranchisement for Boss
Cameron's profit The closing days to
petty larceny for individual profit.

NO WONDER.
A Man That Suffered Mental and
Physical Agony Eight Years
Proclaims His Happiness.

Mental agony is dreadful, but when
that and a physicel ailment combine, it
is simply terrible. Such was the con-
dition of George w. Frampton, of
Huntington, w. Va. for eight years,
He was a sufferer Of necroses: that is
the leg-bone at the ankle was inhamed
and mortified, which caused a running
sore. He says: "Pieces Of bone the
size of a silver three cent piece came
out Of the sore on my leg. The dis
charge from the sore was almost con-
tinual, and Twas unable to walk. For
eight years l had been doctOring. l
have been under the treatment of
physician at Newport, KY, for year;
nnnlL---S burlington, Oiriv,-.>,to-Ivt
me for three years, and doctor here
at Huntington worked with me for
long time. None of them did me any
good, and they all finally said my case
was hopeless. "A few months ago l

| am well. l can walk as coed as any
body, and have perfect use of my limb.
Words are inadequate TO describe the
mental agony l suffered when thought
l was always to be a sufferer, The
thought of the affliction caused me
more distress than the sore, so that the
two combined was indeed agony. Be-
ing now free from both mental and
physical suffering, my happiness knows
no bounds. PERUNA has furnished me
that which l prayed for during my
eight years of suffering

AtLast.

The legislature of Pennsylvania adj
journed at noon, Thursday last the 9th
instant, after an extra session of six
weary months, during which absolutely
nothing was done excepting the pass
age of a judicial apportionment bill.
And yet both houses passed bills voting
themselves full pay for the entire sess'
ion, some Sl700 per member for the ex-
ira session alone, besides about $500
each for the regular session that pl ece-
ded. And this in the face of the fact
that both houses stood pledged by SOL
emn resolution to take no pay after
September 10th. The action of the
two houses in this respect is on par,
and is simply shameful, disgraceful be-
yond the power of words to describe.
Governor Pattison tried hard to save
the state treasury from this wholesale
and most outrageous grab-thiS gigan-
tic robbery under the forms of law, but
without avail. He vetoed the principal
parts of the salary bills. giving as good
orld sound reaSUnS Tor his dlSapproyal
as a Governor ever wrote, but our dais-
les of Legislators repassed the bill over
the Governors veto. They take their
princely pay--not for work performed,
for labor done but for idling and loaf
ing around Harrisburg for six full
months, to the everlasting shame of
our good old commonwealth,
Itwould be manifestly unfair to CEN
sure and condemn all the members
equally. No doubt there are some ex-
ceptions to the general run. Some may
have acted honorablY and honestly in
this matter by refusing full pay for the
long time so disreditably thrown away.
But the record must speak for or
against each and every Individual
member. Those who are able to do so
should speedily purge themselves
from the general and lasting disgrace
that attaches to the aggregate carcass.
The people will know what their SER
wants did, and all who can not show
up clean record might as well make
up their minds that their career as
statesmen has ended.

ALTHOUGH the defeat of Mr.. Ran
dali for Speaker is a sore disappoint-
ment to his political and personal
friends throughout the country, and es-
pecially to the democrats of Pennsylva-
Maj must be conceded that Mr.. Car
Isle is most excellent choice for the
important place. Personally he is an
able statesman, an excellent parliamen-
tartan and his public life presents an
exceptionally .clean record, while his
address on assuming the chair is all
that could be desired. His conserya-
tive words on the tariff question are
calculated to allay apprehension on that
score, and il he follows out the course
indicated there will be no radical chan
ges in onr tariff and revenue laws and
no violent disturbances of our manu-
featuring, commercial and industrial
business need be feared.

An Honorable Record.

On Saturday last Mr.. p. Gray Meek,
chief clerk of the house of representa-
tives, completed the settlement of his
accounts, turned over to the governor
the remnant of the states property in
his charge aud left for his home. In
his departure he carried with him not
only the cOnciousness Of having dis
charged his duty with fidelity but the
respect alike Of the members and citi-
zens with whom his official duties
brought him into contact.
During the protraoted sessions in
which Mr.. Meek presided at the clerks
desk, covering a period of eleven
months, he has been an intelligent and
Jealous champion of economy and re-
form. He has been faithful to every
obligation which the arduous duties of
the office imposed.
Mr.. Meek is to be congratulated that
his labors are ended. For nearly eight
of the eleven months Of service his
work has been without compensation.
But this fact never suggested to his
mind the expedient of sighting his dG-
ties or neglecting his obligations. To
the end he was punctual, ready and
faithful. Though his term is one that
did not add materially to his means, he
has recompense in the universal esteem
in which he is held. His associates on
the desk, Elbridge McConkey and S.
W. Shadle, share with him this price
less reward, but in their honor his sat
lsfaction is multiplied.

iorty.two offices were annexed to the list OF
"free delivery" cities, making a total Of l54
