Lief Them Stand Firm.

Some of the Harrisburg correspondents
say that the influence Of the state ad
ministration is being used in the I.egis
lature to induce the Democratic mem
bers TO consent to apportiOnments
which are unfair and no better than the
present appointments, for the reason
that if the Legislature adjourns without
doing the work for which the governor
called it together the discredit will at
tach to him. We do not believe the re-
port. Governor Pattison and his advisors
are too wise to give such bad counsel for
such poor reason. He did his duty in
recalling the Legislature to do its duty.
1t can only do this duty by making what
the people will recognize as just
appOrtionments, and no unjust one
should be submitted to by the
Democrats. Let them be sure that
they demand only what is fair and
they need have no fear that the blame
for failure to agree will attach to
them. The Democratic party demands
fair appointments. Its sentiment will
submit to no other. And we warn our
friends in the Legislature that if they
seek to avoid the Charybdis of Republican
criticism by making the apportionments
which that party demands they will
strike on the Scylla of Democratic indig'
nation at their cowardice aud treachery
to their trust. Let them demand what
is right and unllinchingiy maintain theil
demand.

No Hurry.

As the city has determined to expend
a thousand dollars in erecting tempor-
ary hospital for the present emergency
we see no necessity for the county com
missiOners' haste in erecting per-
manent hospital in thirty days. 1t is
very proper that the county should have
a hospital building for contagious dis
eases, erected and fitted in such way
as to best adapt it to its purpose. But
such a building should not be put up in
thirty days. There will be no necessity
for its use until the winter sets in. The
plans for it should he carefully consider
ed and the best information obtained as
to the method of its construction. By
the time the grand jury meets in August
all this information can be received and
laid before them for their consideration
and their authority be asked for the ex
penditure. When the commissioners can
thus obtain the proper authority for their
action, without injury to the public inter
ests by the delay, it is wrong to ask
them to assume the responsibility of act
ing without the recommendation of
the grand jury, which is the groundwork
for their expenditure pointed out by
law.
We are in favor of county hospital
for contagious diseases; but we are not
in favor of building 1t hurriedly MOI
are we disposed to ask the commission
ers to assume the responsibility which
we would decline ourselves to take, and
which there is no need Of their tax
ing. We will urge the grand jury to
recommend the building and we advise
the commissioners to wait until they get
this recommendation.

How TO Mako q Swing,

Ex-Mayor Daniel r. Clymer, of Read

America, England, Germany and Austria
tia directions how to make swing with a
view to checking the slaughter of the in
nocents. The following are the directions :
"Near to each end of a joist hole is
bored. Run a rope through each hole,
and tie three knots on top of said joist to
secure it to hold the swing seat. Then tie
a knot in each rope three inches below the
joist this done, tie a strong safety rope
under said knot then lay this rope loosely
over the top of the joist near the ends of
the swing, SO that when the rope breaks
at the greatest point of friction and wear
right under the joist, the safety rope lying
idle over the joist top will at once catch

IMAM UNDER THE BED.
A Mysterious N

Mysterious Noctarn al Visitor at Altoona.
Altoona Tribune.
A remarkably strange affair occurred at
the residence of Mr.. Albert j. Heess, the
baker, on Thirteenth street, near the cor
rer of Eighth avenue, Tuesday morning.
1t seems that friend of the family, Miss
Anne Wolf, of Lancaster, has been
visiting at Mr.. Hess for the past
three weeks. About O'Clock a. m. she
was awakened by the touch of some one
passing his hand over her face. She
opened her eyes and discovered a man
standing by the bedside, but was 80
frightened that She was afraid to make an
alarm. The intruder very coolly walked
to the window and pulled down the blind
to keep out the light. as daylight was fast
approaching. In tho meantime Miss
Wolfe aroused Miss Emma Heess, who
shared the same bed, and told her that
some one was in the room. Miss Heess
did not scream or faint, as is supposed to
be customary under like circumstances,
but she sprang out upon the floor and
lighted the gas. While doing SO she saw
the intruder crawling under the bed, and
when the room was illuminated she saw bis
bare feet sticking out from under the bed.
She motioned to Miss Wolf to jump out of
bed and the two ran from the room and
gave the alarm by screaming at the
top of their voices. Mr.. Heess ard his
sons were aroused at once, and supposing
the house was on fire they all got down
stairs as quickly as possible. The fellow
who caused all the excitement ran down
with them and escaped from the house
through rear window before the young
ladies could explain what occasioned the
alarm. He left no clue and his object in
entering the house is still mystery. 1t
is supposed that he left his shoes down
stairs on entering, in order to walk about
without making noise, but if that was
the case he carried them away with him
also. As no windows or doors were broken
the intruder is supposed to be one we'll
acquainted with the premises. Nothing
was taken from the house.

A Well Considered Veto.

One of the best of the governor 8
vetoeS, considered either as to form or
purpose, and one which has not received
much public attention, Was his disap
prOval of an appropriation of $4,000
$4,000 for each of four yeals-of an
agricultural experiment station y to
be located at and in connection with
the Pennsylvania state college" in
Centre county the same bill also pro.
vided for the sale of the two expert
mental farms conducted by it in the
counties of Chester and Indiana, the
money derived therefrom to be paid into
the state treasury, and interest on 1t ut
the rate of str per cent. to be paid annu-
ally to the trustees of the institution. A
cooler proposition than this, in view of
the past history of the state college,
cannot well he imagined, AMI the COVER
nor's reasons for vetOing it were unas
sailable. 1t is to be remembered that
this concern already has an endowment
of about q half million dollars upon
which the state pays it the extraordinary
interest of six per cent. aud yet, as the
governor says, it has. been a costly,
useless experiment from the begin
ming :"
Its affairs have twice been investigated
by committees of the Legislature, and
though the majority reports of those CON-
mittees have fully cxculpated the college
authorities from any official misconduct
they have demonstrated the absolute
uselessness of tho institution. They dis
closed that the state was the fortunate
possessor of a college that had more
teachers than scholars, and that the
yearly expenses of educating the pupils
were sufficient to have bought each of
them farm for himself aud started them
in practical instead of instructiug them in
experimental farming. This college never
had the support o. confidence of the peO
pie. They would not send their children
to it, even though the institution has been
imploring for pupils aud Offering most in
viting Inducements. The farming com
munities of the state are absolutely i'll
different about the existence of this
college, and do not believe it of any use.
The history of the institution IS no
table illustration of the failure of some
Of the vaunted modern PRACTICAL
methods of education. The value o1
scientific methods in farming and of the
application of learning to this most gen
eral occupation of mankind cannot IL
questioned. There is much in the Oh.
jects of the state agricultural college and
probably in the purposes of the proposed
experimental station that is commend
able, but the plan by which it has beer
attempted to reach them in this state, il
not radically wrong in theory, has been
a wretched failure in practice. Money
spent in that way is like pouring water
into tub without bottom. If the
agricultural college were sold and its
endowment devoted to some practical
method Of agricultural experiments un-
der direction of the state board of agri
culture, something might be accom-
plished. Thus far there is little to show
for the vast amount of money spent.

TnE WATER lOMmiTTEE.

visit to tho Water wOrks-A SIX Million
Gallon Pump Recommended.
Wednesday afternoon the water COM
mittee of councils including. the mayor
and Messrs. Beard, Brown, Diller. BOlenius,
Huber and Zecher, met at the mayors
office and proceeded to the Lancaster bolt
works and inspected patent blower, in
use there, with a view of placing one at
the water works should it be deemed ad-
visable.
The committee next drove out to the
water works, stopping for time back of
the county hospital to view the lay of the
ground along the ConestOga and consult
as to the practicability OF building
sewer to drain the northeastern part of
the city, the sewer to have its outlet be-
low the city dam or if that be found to
DO impracticable to consider the propriety
of laying larger main from Ranck's mill
to the city mill, through which to feed
the pumps at the water works and thus
secure pure water to pump into the reser-
voir. Tho outcome OF the consultation
was the adoption Of u motion made by MIR.
Beard that tho city surveyor be directed
to make survey of tho ground and report
to the committee the fea ibility of the
plans suggested.
Arrived at the water works, the committee
partook of lunch, prepared by the officers
in charge after which communication
from George Nauman esq, was read in
which he gave it IS his opinion that
council could legally incur a debt for the
erection of an additional pump at the
water works at a cost Of $50 900. The
committee were unanimously in favor of
recommending to councils the erection Of a
six million gallon Worthington pump.
Measurements were made which showed
that fourteen sections Of "a inch pipe,
each twelve feet long, together with a
Y would be needed tU cOnnsct the new
pump with the "a inch main now in use.
The committee located the place for the
city scales at rOint between tho engi-
neer's dwelling aud the mil, and agreed to
give tho contract for their removal
from the rear Of city hall to
the point designated, to Rots & Chase. Of
