lutely. She is empowered under it to
sell any part of the estate without an

forgotten any of his children. and leaves
them nothing, because the estate is SO
small that it would be divided into so
many shares that it would be of very
little value to any of them. Those need

commended to the care of their mother.

Letter from Harrisburg.
HARRISBURG, Pa, Nav u. ISa

HARRISBURG, Pa, May 2l, 1895
Editor Posr:
The end is in sight and unless the
onslaught will soon be made by the
dissatisfied citizens throughout the
State we may get away with our
scalps intact.
Some five weeks ago the House
adopted resolution fixing the 23rd
OF this month as the day for final
adjournment. The Senate pigeon
holed the resolution and last week
passed resolution fixing the date
on the 9th of June. When the reso.
luton came to the House it was at
once referred to the committee on
rules. Just what the disposition OF
1t will be | do not know, but it is
safe to say that we will not get away
before that time. Nearly all the ap
preparation bills are yet to be passed
and as far as the appropriation to
the schools is concerned there will
be lively time before the country
members will agree to reduction
OF million which seems to be the
scheme on the part of those who
are anxious to get all they can for
charitable and other institutions. If
the revenues do not allow the re-
tention of the present amount, what
Is the objection to utilizing the
thousands that are lying around in
some favorite banks There is no
sound reason to reduce the appro-
priation,
TIE Governor signs tie Compulsory
EducdtiOn Bin.
Compulsory education is a GER
tainty so far as legislative authority
en- make it. / hope h @ ad-
vocatcs of the principle of compul-
s)ry attendance at public schools ms
embodied in the act just signed will
realize their highest anticipations.
The writer has some doubts as TO its
practicability as far as agricultural
communities are concerned, or per-
haps more particularly in districts
that are but sparsely settled.
The final success of this measure
is proof of the old saying, the third
time is the charm. A similar bill
passed the Legislature three times.
Twice it was vetoed by Gov. Patti
son and now it becomes law with
the approval of Gov. Hastings.
In communication to the House
he gives the following as his reasons
The Middleburgh post. [volume] (Middleburgh, Snyder Co., Pa.) 1883-1916, 1895-05-23

all these questions must be referred
to conferences for adjustment since
the House and Senate bill hardly
agree on any bill containing the
same provisions.
The House congressional bill does
not change our district but tho SEN
ate bill puts Snyder with Northum-
berland. Montour, Juniata, Mifflin,
and Centre. Such n combination
will not likely receive the endorse
ment of the representative Repub-
licans throughout the district.
The Senatorial bill puts Union
and Snyder with Miiflin, Juniata,
aud Perry, combination that Bro.
Focht tried to change with proper
amendments but without success.
The Legislative ratio is 10000 and
on that basis there will be 2O2 men,
bers instead of 20i as at present. A
number of changes naturally occur
the cities gen orally gain and the
rural counties lose.
Blair, Cambria, Clearfeld, Jeff'er-
son, Northumberland each gained n
representative while Bedford,
Chester, Clarion. Columbia, Craw-
ford, Huntingdon, La wrence, Mer-
Ger, Somerset aud Bradford each
lose one.
With interests so diverse il will be
difficult to adjust matters so as to
satisfy all parties and there may be
some lively scrimmages before these
bills pass finally. They are on the
calendar for final passage aud will
be disposed of one way OF another.
DehorHing cutie TO he Legolized.
The bill legalizing the dehorning
