REFORM IN APPROPRIATIONS.
Chairman Sayers Reduces the Per-
manent List by 100000.

The so-called permanent appropri-
ations of Congress and their continuing
appropriations of indefinite amount
have always been an element of uncer-
talnty III estimating the annual expendi
lures and balancing the revenues against
them, stumbling block in the way of
retrenchment. The system has grown
up with the government, dating back to
the earliest days of independence.
Every effort at revision and rearrange-
ment of these expenditures has hitherto
failed of it's purpose.
Representative J. d. Sayers, of Texas,
the new chairman of the appropriations
committee, has undertaken the task of
cleaning out this Augean stable. Under
the plan proposed by him, appropr-
ations for the following objects only
will remain on the statute books as per-
manetly continuing appropriations: For
payment of premium, interest or prin-
cipal of the public debt, or of bonds
known as District of Columbia bonds, or
OF bonds issued to Pacific railroad COM
panles; expenses pertaining to refund
ing the national debt; expenses of Smith
sonian Institution; refunding taxes lilies
gally collected; payment of backdraw-
ing allowances under internal revenue
laws; expenses of the Marine Hospital
service; repayment OF Importers excess
OF deposits, and payment of debentures
drawbacks, bounties and allowances,
and refunding proceeds of unclaimed
merchandise under the customs revenue
laws; police and fremen's relief funds,
District of Columbia; support of Soldiers
Homes, Indian trust funds deposited
under act of April /, 1880; navy pension
fund
All other appropriation acts will be re-
pealed and their objects can only be se-
cured by attaching them to one or an
otherof the regular annual appropriation
bills. The PRINCIPAL items of expendi-
ture to be affected are the expenses of
collecting the custom revenues Tin round
numbers), $1,000, 600; operating and care
of canals and other works of navigation
$75O,000; agricultural colleges, $1,100. GOO;
mail transportation on Pacific Railroads
81 .400,0 900; deficiency in postal revenue,
$5,000,oO0; sugar bounty, $10,000,G00;
arms and equipments for State militia,
$4,000 All told about $40, 100000 will
be taken from the permanent and indef-
mite roll, leaving total on that account
of $S5 600, 900 per annun.

they rarely violate. The length of beard
seems to weigh with them more than the

Admiral Krppcl was sent to Algiers TO

10 his Britannia majesty's subjects by

Forgetting Ones Children

Il left my children standing there,
exactly there!" 1t was in one Of the
stores IN Temple place, and the mother
who had lost her two little girls pointed
with absolute decision TO the place where
she was certain she had told them to
wait for her whilo she went to another
counter 10 look at IL bargain. a small
commOtion of inquiry and search at once
buzzcd through the store. Presently
one of the head men stepped TO the door
and looked up and down the street to
see if the lost children had strayed out
of doors.
In front of another store n few doors
up the street small crowd was collect
ing about two little girls who were ask
ing piteously for their mother. They
were still standing in the doorway of the
store exactly where she had left them
when she went away down to the other
TO look up bargain. And when she
was brought unto her own she ''reme,n-
bered that she had forgotten" where it
was she had left them. and added, Il de

Fishing by ElcctrLrity.

The success which attended the use of
the electric light in fishing off the Cali
fOruia coast has led TO the devising of
various improved apparatus for that pur,
pose. One of these consists of a large
iron frame interlaced with netting, which
can be opened and closed ut the will OF
the operator. An electric light incased
in lantern is lowered into the net, the
electricity being furnished by motor
in the bow Of the boat. As the boat
moves along the network is thrown open,
and the bright light of the lamp. which
rs seen at n great distance in the clear
water, arouses the curiosity Of the fish.

railroad extension and elimination of
traffic; bankruptcy and suspension of
banks are to-day the only monuments
of their triumph. The present con-
dition of the country is mainly due
to the conviction that vital attack
will be made upon the American sys
tenn of protection. We reitera e the
belief we have often expressed that
the maintenance of an adequate and
stable system of protective duties is
essential to the well-being of the ma
ton and the prosperity of labor and
capital, and protests against any
amendments to the Mckinley bill un-
til it shall have been fairly tested and
judged by its practical operation.
The heroic sacrifices and unfalter-
ing patriotism of the Union soldiers

grateful for their heroism renews its
declaration of friendship for the sur
viving veterans, and its advocacy of
liberal pensions and, SO far as possi-
BILE, will not only contribute to their
comfort in their declining years, but
will hold in sacred manner their
priceleea and distinguished services
on the field of battle. The National
Democratic Administration. in the
appointment of officers in charge Of
the lntesior Department at Washing
ton, who are hostile to surviving vet
erans deserves the condemnation of
everv loyal citized in the nation, and
the Republican party of Pennsylva-
mia empatically denounces the acts
by which the heroes of the Republic
are being arbitrarily deprived of their
pensions as unworthy of the patriot
ic American people, and as rejecting
discredit upon the great Republic,
made perpetual by the loyal services
of the Union soldiers and sailors.
We demand the enactment and en-
forcement of immigration. which shall
effectually prohibit the importation
of Ignorant and undesirable emil
grants. Our intelligent working men
should not be obliged to compete
with such labor
We Recommend that the represen-
tation IN the Republican National
Convention fer 1896 be based upon
the Republican vote at the Presiden-
tial election of 1892 and that the Re-
publican National Committee issue
its call accordingly.
We commend the action of the last
Legislature in this State, in setting
apart from the revenues of the Com
monwealth an additional million dol
lars to defrsy the cost of public
schools, thus increasing the appro
priation for that purpose to So 500,-
600 per annum, and relieving the
burden of local taxation to that ex-
tent. This act again forcibly illus
trates the integrity of the Republi-
can party in redeeming its pledges
for the reduction of taxation.
Representation in future State
conventions shall be based upon the
vote cast at the Presidential or Cub,
ernatorial election immediately pre-.
ceeding, one delegate being allotted
to each 2O00 Republican votes, and
an additional delegate for a fraction
exceeding 1000 votes, each district to
have at least one delegate.

The platform adopted by the Re-
publican State Convention is as fol-
lows The Republicans of Pennsyl
vanla, IN convention assembled, re-af-
tlrmlnS their adhesion to the declar-
alton of principles adopted by the
National Republican Convention of
1892, resolve,
That we demand the immediate
and unconditional repeal of the pur-
chasing clause of the act of Congress
entitled "An act directing the pur-
chase of silver bullion and the issu-
ing OF treasury notes thereon" ap-
proved July Il, 1890.
We congratulate the country upon
the recent prompt and patriotic ac-
ton OF the House of Representatives.
and request the Senators from Penn
syl7anIa to support similar legisla-
ton now pending in the Senate. We
favor the expansion of the circulating
medium of the country until the same
shall amount to forty dollars per CAP
ita OF our population, and approve
the proposition to issue to national
banks notes II the par value of the
ponds deposited to secure their cir.
culation. In this connection we re.
peat the following declaration of the
last Renr bliCan National c Convention;
1.-The American people from tradition
and interest favor bi-mettalism and
the Republican party demands the
use of both gold and silver with
such restriction and under such pro
VISIONS to be determined by legisla
tlon as will secure the maintenance
OF the parity of values of the two
metals so that the purchasing and
debt paying power OF dollar, wheth
er OF silver, gold or paper, shall be q
all times equal. The interests of tn,
producers OF the country, its farmer
and It's workingmen, demand tha,
every dollar, paper or coin, issued, b,
the Government shall be as good a
any other"
Further, we declare that the obi
cations of the Government should b
discharged in money approved ant
current among all civilized nations
and to that end that largely in
creased reserve of gold should b.
gradually accumulated and main
tsined.
Swiftly upon the heels of Demo

Early Reading.

1t may seem superhuous TO say that
ono eau not put old heads on Young
shoulders, yet it is truth of which
many parents require to be reminded
who are very anxious for their boys to
"get on" and who deplore with up
lifted eyes their offspring's fondness of
adventure books That is the tend
ency of the average boy. Occasionally
the precocity of genius asserts itself in
a Goethe, a Shelley or a Byron: but.
speaking generally childhood is mentally
prone to follow after the new and the
wonderful. 1t is a principle the opera
ton Of which should not be interfered
with rs long as boys excursions into
the realm Of fiction are kept within rea-
sOnable bounds.-Chamber journal.
