An Outrageous Bill,

Among the acts passed by the defunct
legislature and signed by the governor was
one providing for the establishment of a
home for disabled and INDECENT soldiers, to
be supported by the state. The law seems
TO contemplate that the Marine hospital,
near Erie, which already belongs to the
commonwealth, shall be converted for this
purpose, and that the state after expend-
ing some $4,000 for the fitting up of the
same, shall devote $4,000 annually for its
maintenance.
In view of the fact that all disabled SOL
diers get pensions, and a good many have
grabbed them who never were disabled !;
and Of the further fact that the United
States government has number of homes
for old soldiers, and will no doubt estab-
lish as many more as are actually nee
essary, such legislation by the state was
entirely unnecessary.
1t is q job.
Even if less offensive in detail and
less superfuous in purpose, the bin as
passed is one that should have been vetoed.
1t puts the institution proposed to be es-
tablished under the entire control of eleven
persons, "the governor of the common
wealth, the state treasurer, the auditor
general and committee of three members
OF the general assembly, consisting of one
senator and two members of the House of
Representatives., who shall be appointed by
the presiding officer of the Senate and
House, respectively, together with COM

What Quay Means.

The Republican politicians and news
papers are good deal at a loss to account
for Quay's interference in the apportion-
mept bill, which resulted in the defeat of a
measure to which his party in the legisla-
ture was almost solidly committed.
For candidate before state conven-
tion to take issue so boldly and violently
with the prevailing sentiment of his party
seems to be very impolitic and mex
plicable performance. We perceive that
the Pittsburg Times, which is very friendly
TO Mr.. Magee, sarcastically assumes with
mock earnestness that the kilograms which
purported to have been sent to Quay by the
members influenced by him were forgeries.
For "when, it asks, /" in all the history of
treason did the most shameless traitor
counsel treachery publicly and yet con-
tinue to solicit the confidence and support
of those he betrayed ?" "It is as impossi-
BILE, the Times affects to think, "that any
man seeking and still seeking the Repuhli-
can nomination for a position of trust
should have written those kilograms as
that Judas should have come back jingling
his ill-gotten silver as an argument of his
financial responsibility and fitness to con-
tinue treasurer of the twelve"
A reporter Of the Pittsburg Dispatch,
however, who went down to Beaver to see
about it, ascertains quite positively that
Quay did send the kilograms which in
fuenced the Beaver, Lawrence and Wash
ingtOn members to defeat the bill. There
never was any real doubt of this. Mr.. Quay
was against the apportionment and defeat
ed it, regardless of the feelings of his friend
Cooper and others, who have professed to
favor his candidacy, but whose gift-bear-
ing approach he views with some suspi
cion.
The calculations making on Quay's own
bona fde candidacy may as well be dis
missed. He is playing for position. He
wants to beat Magee, Cameron and the
others Of their fellowship. His own plans
will only then be revealed. AS to placing
himself before the people Of Pennsylvania
for state treasurer, that is something which
has never seriously entered his mind.
He darent.

A Subsidy Blocked.

In the closing hours of the last Congress,
despite the vigilance of Mr.. Holman and
Mr.. Randall, and in the confusion attend
ing the last incidents of every session, a
s4O0, 600 subsidy for some of the steamship
lines was smuggled through the House,
easily obtaining passage in the Senate, of
course, which always lends willing assent
to such measures.
With one accord the steamship lines be-
gan to quarrel over the division of the
plunder, and the lobby agents have been
fattening their noses against the window,
Of the treasury department, waiting fol
their share of the loot.
The president and postmaster genera
discover that they have some discretion il
| the matter and that the public service will
be performed quite as well without thi
grant as with it,. Private interests can wal
for the next meeting of Congress, and fo
the more definite ascertainment of wher
the money should go or whether the sui
sidy shall be repealed

LANCASTER. JUNE Is, 1885.
The Lesson He Wished TO Teach.

Some of the metropolitan newspapers
have seized upon reported statement of
Secretary Bayard as an occasion to air their
historical knowledge. The secretary, in
an address to the students of the Missouri
university, was reported to have said that
his grandfather voted for Jefferson in the
tie between him and Burr, and elected him,
though he, Bayard, was Federalist. Tie
fact is that Bayard did not vote for Jeffer-
son, but voted blank ballot, which was
equivalent to voting for him. Secretary
Bayard says he was not reported correctly,
rs he would not have stated that his grand
father actually voted for Jefferson without
violating the truth of history that he
was perfectly familiar with lie says he is
glad, however, that the ambition of editors
to pick at him and to display their erudi
tion has answered to give prominence tc
the lesson which he sought to inculcate by
his reference to his 'grandfather's action
Alexander Hamilton, the federal leader ,ad
vised the Federalistsin Congress TO vote 70
Jefferson, rather than for Burr, although
the Federal party preferred Burr, whom
Hamilton knew to be unworthy. He pei
suaded Bayard to cease opposition t
jefferson S election.
Secretary Bayard's lesson is that til
country's good must be held above that {
the party whom they seem to conflict, an
he enforces the doctrine with the authorit
of these early patriots. 1t is undoubtedl
sound doctrine; but when party goc
is something different from the country
good, the party is rotten The best thir
forShecountry sthe best thing for thepa
nthel long run, and party drifts only need
be wise enough to discern the country
needs to know their duty to their party.

THE Louisville Couricr-J0nraGl, having
been challenged to PRINT list of American
statesmen ofthe first rank, since it ..said that
Thurman "will hold foremost place among
American statesmen of the second rank, I"
along with Silas Wright Lewis Cass and
Reverdy Johnson, has this to say in the way
of characterization
Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Hamilton,
Madison, Jackson, Clay, Webster, Calhoun,
Seward, Lincoln, Tilden, and perhaps, Mar
shall, Gallatin and Chase, all OF whom were
identified with organic measures and great
historic movements, and impressed their
personalities upon the times so deeply as to
leave enduring monuments in the annals of
their country. The statesmen associated
with Judge Thurman were not so fortunate.
Theywere more or less brilliant and important
men. But they did not create permanent
party issues, or command parties. They did
not make history. They did not leave a
picture upon their day and generation which
will survive the century. Already they are
traditions rather than real personages SO
with Judge Thurman in few years after he
is gone 1t was simply not his destiny to be
a king of men. That is all.
