DAKOTA IN ADVANCE.

THE TIMES is pleased to see a
movement in Dakota which is in
the right direction. The idea that
a State government should have
two representatives, one executive,
and one judicial, bodies is an ex-
pense to the people that is entirely
unnecessary. One representative
body is sufficient, and since state
constitutions are requiring all laws
to be general, there is no necessity
for as many members as are now
elected. If the system of represent
tation was changed so that each
county would have one member,
on the same principle that states
have two United States Senators
without reference to size of terrific
ry or number of people. All the
interests in every locality could be
protected. Each county might
have a representative. The cost
would only be two thirds of what it
is now, besides legislation would
be accomplished easier. The old
policy that the people must elect
two representative bodies when one
is all that is necessary, is adding an
expense that is without an equiva'
lent benefit. 1t is said by the
friends of a dual representative
government that one body becomes
a check to the other; but why is the
necessity when both are responsible
to the people. But then there il
the power of the veto by the COVER
nor besides the final resort by al
appeal to the judiciary of the state
which makes the matter safe anC
more expeditions in forming the
laws for the people. This is a goot
movement in the interest of econo
my and safety.

A Determined Attempt to Discourage the
School Book Syndicate.
[FRoM STAFF CORRESPONDENT
HARRISBURG, April 11.-Dr. Neff will
tomorrow endeavor to get special order
for his bill providing for uniformity of text
books in public schools. Five bills, aiming
in general at this object, but differing in scope
and detail, were introduced early in the session,
one of them simultaneously in the House and
Senate. They were all negatived, and the
authors of all of them complain that the in
fuence of the Department of Public Instruc-
tion was brought to bear on the committees of
the House and Senate to produce this work.
The charge that the bills were in the interest
of a school book ring or that they would give
birth to one, were made by repre-
sentatives of what the authors of
the bills call the school book trust
or syndicate. The gentlemen feel particularly
sore concerning an interview in which Superin-
tendent Luckey, of PIttsburg, spoke to the
same effect. Mr.. Luckey was also here to talk
against the bills. They clam that the intent of
the bills is the direct opposite of what was
binding of books in State institutions, and he
now desires, if he can get it on the calender, to
amend it to include the printing.
The bills IN general provide for commission
of some kind to edit compile, or select the
books to be used, and give the commission wide
latitude in the selection of the books and the
purchase of copyrights. 1t is probably too late
in this session to do much with any of the
measures now, except to agitate them.

NEW YORK, April 11.-Justine Genez,
the 23-year-old daughter of August G..
Genez, proprietor of the Morrisania Schuet-
zen Park, killed herself this morning with
a big revolver. The heavy bullet dug a
hole in her head almost as large round as a
mans index finger. Her father was away
from home, and he was informed by a neigh
Dor as he was walking toward his house.
One of her sisters had been visiting in
Brooklyn, and while on the elevated road
bound home was Mortified to read of the
tragedy. Justine, who was the oldest daugh-
ter and had been out of health for years, was
not in her right mind.
She got the big pistol from behind the
bar about 10 o'clock in the morning and
went upstairs to her mothers room. Her
mother came into the house about 15 min
utes later and found the girls body lying
across the closed door of the bedroom. The
door could not be opened without pushing
1t away. The pistol lay beside her. On
the floor was a scrap of paper with these
lines scribbled in German:
Tell nobody that did it Intentionally. Say
that the pistol had never lain there, and that
must have handled it carelessly. Many kisses
from yours, JUSTINE.

tFRoM STAFF CORRESPONDENCE
HARRISBURG, April 11.-By vote of 20
to 13, the Senate voted to have the Legisla-
ture and the Governor and his staff go to
New York in body to aid in the proper
celebration of the centennial of the inaugura-
tion of General Washington as President of
the United States. Senator Robinson, Senator
Brown, of York, and Senator Green opposed it.
The former didn't want to waste the States
money, and the two latter didn't want to waste
the time that should be devoted to legislation
Senator Newmyer was strong opponent of
the trip, but contented himself with voting
against it. Senator Delamater voted for it.
Senators Reybun and George Handy Smith
spoke in favor of it as a patriotic demonstra-
ton in which Pennsylvania should not permit
herself to be outshone. Senator Reyburn said
Massachusetts carried off the honors of our
own centennial, and should not be permitted to
do it this time. Representative Kidd, Chair
man of the House Centennial Affairs Commit
tee, was to-day authorized to go to New York
to make the necessary arrangements for ac-
commodations.
When the announcement of the Senate's
concurrence in the House resolution was read
to the latter body, Mr.. Fow demanded to know
"who was George Washington and a solemn
chorus, in defiance of the Speakers gavel, re-
piled that he was First in war, first in peace
and first in the hearts of his countrymen."
