The officers are stalwart looking men and

Fair Prospects Of the Coming Crop.
During the past week between 800 and
400 cases of old tobacco changed hands,
the larger proportion of it going to the
cigar manufacturers. About an equal
quantity of. last years crop, cased, was
purchased by our local dealers from grow.
ers and packers in other counties, LyOming
and Clinton supplying tho largest portion
of it. Loose tobacco in our own county is
becoming very scarce, and when found it
is mostly of low grade. The purchasing
season is practically ended, though some
dealers are still on the lookout, and take
in such lots as present themselves. The
condition of the crop continues satisfac-
tory, both in quality and color, and heavy
purchases express tho belief that they have
secured bonanza
During the last week good many
farmers commenced setting out the young
plants, but the ground was so dry that
every plant required watering and shading
so that the work was tedious and went
slow. On Saturday night aud all day
Sunday there were copious rains which
put the ground in excellent condition for
planting. and by daybreak on Monday
morning dozens of men, women and boys
could be seen in almost every tobacco heid
in the county busily engaged in setting
out the young plants. Indeed it is said
that some very pious planters did not wait
till Monday to commence their work, but,
on the principle " tho better the day, the
better the deed" gave the hungry young
plants tho benefit Of Sundays glorious
rain. By 10 o'clock Monday morning tho
sun shone out brightly, which had
rather depressing effect on the young
plants and to some extent checked the
operations Of the planters but they have
the satisfaction of knowing that tho
bright sunshine is death to the cut worm.

II ia R,rht to Recall Them.

1
The Iecislature after very long ses'
.;on .d;onrns rs usual with a large
= ,m,,er of bills not acted upon. There
hos certainly been ample time during It's
nrotracted session for the disposition OF
81, necessary matters of legislation, and
Il ia not creditable to the members col
lectively that they have not disposed OF
them, Their failure to act is partlcu'
larly noticeable Is to the things that
they are commanded by the constitution
to consider and determine. Chief
among them are the apportionment bills.
The one House being Democratic
and the other Republican, there
was q natural disagreement upon
this subject, due to the fact that
the apportionment has direct influence
upon the strength of the parties. Inc
Republicans happen to have now an
apportionment which suits them ; nence
they do not consider it to their interest
70 establish q new one. They are content
with the situation. If it is their duty as
legislators to legislate for their party,
they may justify their failure to readJust
the apportionment; but they do not dare
to assume this position. They indirectly
seek to maintain their present political
advantage by obstinately insisting on
new scheme of apportionment which i:
about as unjust to their political oppo
nents as the existing one, and which
therefore, they cannot be expected te
accept.
The question for the governor is as II
whether he shall permit the Legislature
to finally adjourn without passing The
apportionment bills which the constitu
tion commands 1t to pass. Upon the Ont
side it may be urged that though he ma!
reconvene the Legislature he canno
compel it to do q duty which it ha
distinctly declined to perform, and thai
the money which renewed session will
cost will be wasted. But upon the othe
hand it is to be said that when importan
matters, commanded to be done by tn
fundamental law are not done, it is tn
governors duty to reassemble the Leg
islature and remind them of their fail
ure, even though they are as we'll awar
Of it as he is. 1t is in his power to CIV
them an opportunity to supply thel
omission, and the money which it vii
cost to correct the error, or to demon
strate to the people the determination Q
their lawmakers to fail in the discharg
of their clear duty, will be wisely ex
pended in either event.
The governor is reported to be dispose
to reassemble the Legislature, and W
think that this is the proper conception
of his duty. The sooner it is done tn
bstter. The weather is hot and will 1
getting hotter. Comfortable leglslatlo
in the summer is impossible. But fe
days will suffice to do all that needs to
done, and the temperature may inclll
the members to hurry up their work.

DIFFERING OPINIONS.

Harrisburg Telegraph. Rep,
When the gavel falls at the close of the
present session Of the Legislature, it will
close the deliberations of as licentious and
unscrupulous body as has met in the
halls OF legislation within The memory of
man.
A Clean-Hauded Legislature.
Philadelphia Chronicle Herald, Dem.
We doubt whether at any time within
the past twenty five years there has been a
Legislature at Harrisburg that has been
journ Wednesday. We feel certain that
there has not been better one since the
new constitution went into effect. 1t will
were so few snakes warmed into life at the
SO few attempts to benefit particular indi-
old race of lobbyists. Indeed, the past
winter was ono of the coldes. that the
lobby on capitol hill has ever known.
1t is not often that session of the Leg
islature has come to an end when the
people have expressed less dissatisfaction
than they now do. There has of course,
hardness of adjoul nment, but the people
have every reason to congratulate them
selves that with 50 long session they
have been 80 little robbed. The small
majority in the Senate which the Republi.
can managers could absolutely depend
upon, has mt been an announcement to
jobbers to introduce their schemes, while
the Democratic majority in the House,
most of it fresh from the ranks of tho
people, has unquestionably stood out
against every bill that had the smell of a
steal about it.
An Independent Wow.
Philadelphia Ledger.
Passing over the faults of not doing
what should have been done, and for the
present omitting the censures justly earned
by some individual senators aud repre-.
senatives, there is little else to be said ad-
versely to the Legislature all the rest is
creditable. No bad legislation is to be
charged against it or noxt to none. The
bills vetoed by tho governor we're not
offenses-they were mistakes. There is
a fair proportion of good legislation espec-
tally for this city-nOt all that was desired
yet still an encouraging proportion. The
Legislature of 1888 down to. this 5th of
June is the best in character, ability and
outcome We have had for moro than twenty
five years and We hope that its last two
days will add to rather than detract from
this good character.

The BullItt Bill.

The Philadelphia Bulletin, though a
radically Republican paper, is opposed
to the Bullitt bill for the government of
Philadelphia, which its partisan friends
have been trying to force through the
LEGISLATURE by fair means or foul. Its
very excellent reason for opposition to
the. measure is that it believes Z" inflexi-
blyln the principle of self-government
and in the ability of Philadelphia to
govern herself. Philadelphia DID not
invent the Bullitt bill, and Philadelphia
has not asked for its passage. Whatever
there is of real good in it-and it is far
from being wholly bad-councils can
supply by reorganization of the depart
ments and by higher order of appoint
ments along the whole line of official life. y
The city councils, it maintains, are at
least better able to judge of Philadel
phia's condition and wants than is the
Harrisburg Legislature, the large ma
.jority of which is necessarily densely
ignorant of tho whole subject. Philadel-
phia should be let alone. When she
finGs that she needs reforms Which are
hindered by existing state laws she will
say 30 and Harrisburg will then be
asked to come to her assistance. Bat
that is not the present situation. Phila-
delphia has her own shoulder at the
wheel of municipal improvement and
thus far is steadily moving it out of the
old ruts on to the solid ground of good
government" 1t is certainly true that
the principle of governing cities by the
Legislature, whose members know
SO little of their wants, has
prevailed to a large extent in
this state and New York to the
discredit of the commonwealth and the
disadvantage of the municipality. Few
of the country members really under
stand the principles or the effect of this
class of legislation for the large cities
which they vote upon blindly and are
therefore called upon to pass one year and
undo the next. The members from the
cities, upon whose judgment they must
depend, are certainly not, as a rule, fit
exponents of their constituents better
interests and are not above the average
councilman in knowledge of the city s
wants. A great many of the evils
in the present administration OF
municipal government result from the
lack of proper interest in and attention
to it by the taxpayers and citizens gen
erally, rather than from defects in the
plan itself. Until they do what is in their
power to accomplish administrative re-
form, by putting the government of the
city into the hands of honest and in
telligent men, those who desire
municipal reform in Philadelphia should
not importune the Legislature to devise
nov schemes OF government, for any plan
entrusted to rogues to administer it will
fail. And tho urgent desire of Quay
Cooper & Co. to get the Bullitt scheme
adopted indicates that they think they
hava 6 a ntnn6 thing of it."
