Elect Railroad Commissioners.

HARRISBURG, Pa, Jan. 3.-The
biennial message of Governor Patti
son, sont to and read in both branches
of the general assembly today, was
practically review of the opposition
to the state government for two years
past. Considerable space was taken
up with an account of the labor
troubles and the use of the national
guard at Moorewood and Homestead.
The experience at the former place
cost the state $35, $40 and Homestead
$49O,056. The governor says with ref
erence to the labor troubles at Home
stead and the way the sheriff dealt
with them: "There was reallyssno ef-
fort made on the part of the civil
authorities to suppress disorder. The
entire community seemed to surren-
der to the disorderly element.
At the beginning fifty determined
men, moved by love OF order
and patriotic spirit, would have sup
pressed the whole disturbance. L
therefore suggest tn the legislature
that costs incurred in suppressing
disturbance In which the civil authori-
ties call upon military power of the
common wealth be placed upon the
county calling for troops. This may
be an incentive to the legal authorities
to determined action in the beginning
of disturbance rather than have
their treasury drained of q large sum
to defray expenses. At least the state
can make some such effort to prevent
hasty and unwarranted calls for
troops. In this connection legislation
should be had looking to the preven-
tion OF the introduction of armed
bodies of men without the consent of
the authorities of the county or state.

SALEM, Or, Jan. 3.-The supreme
court has rendered a decision in man.
damas proceedings to compel the Sec
retary of state in making an official
canvass of votes cast for presidential
electors at the recent election as re-
tnrned by various county clerks, to
abstain from counting the votes cast
in counties where the name of Pierce
(Populist) elector appeared twice on
the official ballot. The court has de.
cided in favor OF Pierce, which gives
one electoral vote to the Populists.
The court held that the printing of
Pierce's name on the ballot more than
once was contrary TO the provisions of
the statutes, but it was an error of the
clerks. This error the court holds
does not deprive the voter who cast
the ballot on his elective franchise or
the candidate for when it was cast,
of the benefit of such vote.
