With few exceptions, the 1870 speeches

NEWSPAPER OPINION.


Evening Telegraph.
The dullest observer cannot but note
the wonderfully deterrent effect upon
the present Legislature OF the veto
record Of Mr. Pattison during mis- former
term. There are comparatively few men
ID either house who were there in 1888
aud 1885, but they have ell been made
fully aware OF the kind OF man who
stands on the tower with unceasing
vigilance. Scores OF schemes brought TO
the doors of the Legislature have
been halted right there from
healthful knowledge of the
fact that to give them considera
tion would only be a waste of time Both
Houses have constantly acted with the
understanding that their work would be
passed in review by conscientious
executive, thoroughly alert, courageous
and intelligent, fully determined to ex
ercise his own Just prerogative in accord
ance with his own views of what is best
for the state, regardless alike of the per.
sonal or political interests of any one.
There never has been more forcible
illustration Of the wisdom OF having a
divided state government. The people
OF Pennsylvania will gain immensely,
and they should remember the lesson
Complete political control OF all depart
menfs leaves the door open for the
enactment Of legislation, very much of
which Is utterly Objectionable With a
Democratic governor and Republican
Legislature; OF a Republican governor
and Democratic Legislature, or with
the two branches of the legislative body
opposed TO each other politically, the
public interests are much more certain
or protection than when 1t is not within
the power Of the opposition to interpose
effective objection anywhere. Through
out the present session the executive
watchman on the tower seems 90 be doing
his duty zealously and faithfully, and it
Is hoped that he will continue so TO do.

"The scene around the beautiful and

NEW YORK, May 16.-The Dryer Bros,
owners Of the Gravesend race track, are
waging bitter warfare on the pool rooms
Of this city. At the track yesterday the
Western Union Telegraph company's EN-
ployes were ordered to quit work by the
Messrs. Dryers, and the wires Of the com
pany were cut on account of the refusal Of
the telegraph company not to handle pool
room business The usual list of entries
was not issued by the secretary Of the
Brooklyn Jockey club last night, so as TO
keep it from the pool room people.

NEW YORK, May 16.-Medad w Stone,
president Of the American Dock and Trust
company, who died at his home on Staten
Island on Good Friday, has been discov-
cred to be a defaulter. The defalcation
was discovered ten days ago, but has just
been made public. Stones plan Of action
was to issue certificates to his own order
that he had on deposit at the warehouses
of his company certain amounts of cotton
These certificates he took to the banks and
secured loans thereon. In this way he is
said to have secured about $4,000. The
Irregularities of Stone leaked out when
one of his certificates fell due and was
presented to his company, when it was
found he had no cotton on deposit. It Il
believed that the Dock and Trust com
pany will settle for the certificates.
