The Pops and free silver agitators have
said all along, that under Democratic
President and his gold standard policy,
cotton would continue to sell at 4 cents.
Lo, and behold! the rascally gold bugs
have now put cotton up to 9 cents, and
the silver men are left without text to
preach from. All the same, the farmers
are better satisfied, and they begin to
see through the game of the agitators.

The Grand Jury Report.

The grand jury in its late report acted
on two or three suggestions of the
CHRONICLE relative to public matters,
and did well in so doing. However, they
fell into some errors that ought to have
been avoided with little care and inves.
tigation. They stated that there were
$172 of the parish taxes in litigation
when the true figure is nearer 81 600
They say that crime is greatly on the In
crease. whereas, taking into considera-
tion the new laws that are being enforc-
ed and the increase of population, the
increase in crime is small. They especi.
ally applaud the action of the Pollock
law and order league, and recommend
such organization in other communities.
This, We think, is an improper sugges-
tion. Without desiring to boast, we will
say that this editor. single handed and
alone, has accomplished as much in this
community as the Pollock league has
ever accomplished. There is no need for
any such organization, and its existence
is areproach. The proper officials, aid
ed and assisted by all law-abiding citi.
zens, are amply able to maintain law and
order. Let us have more public spirit
and healthy sentiment, and less of such
secret and star chamber methods. II
citizens will have the nerve to do their
duty, and report violators of law to the
courts and the proper officers. there is
no necessity of any irregular body AFRO.

BIG OCEAN STEAMER AGROUND.


York HarbOr.
NEW YORK March S.-The North Ger
man Lloyd steamship Havel, Captain
Jungst, went ashore on the north side of
Gedneys channel while entering the har-
Dor. Most of the passengers were asleep,
and no excitement prevailed The engines
were at once reversed at full speed, but
failed to move the vessel.
When the tide began TO fall the Havel
listed heavily to starboard. Eight tugs
were soon alongside the steamer in readi-
ness to assist in floating her at high water.
There were 100 cabin and 27l steerage pas
sengers on the Havel. The steamboat
George Starr and another sidewheel
steamer took off some of the passengers
during the afternoon
At 4:30 p. m. when it was high water
the tugs repeatedly pulled on the steamer,
but their united efforts, with the assist
ance of the steamers engines, did not sue
coed in getting her Off At p. m. dis
patch was received from Sandy Hook say

PENNSYLVANIA LEGISLATURE.


Each Week
HARRISBURG, March S.--A new sena-
torial apportionment bill was introduced
in the house yesterday by Chairman Cul-
bertson of the legislative appor5ionment
committee. 1t makes no material change
in the senatorial districts in eastern Penn
sylvania, but many radical changes are
made i'm the districts in the western end OF
the state.
A resolution was reported from the rules
committee and adopted for three sessions
on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays,
and that the order of business be third
reading on Tuesday nights and second
reading on Wednesday and Thursday
nights. The resolution goes into effect
next Tuesday. This is six weeks earlier
than the house began night sessions two
years ago.
Mr.. Fow made a vigorous attack upon
the bill to establish free public employ
ment office in each of the congressional
districts and in cities, under the direction
of the bureau of industrial statistics. The
bill passed second reading. The bill abol-
ishing the office of jury commissioner and
providing that juries shall be selected by
county commissioners was defeated. The
bill for the erection of warehouses in coun-
ties with population of 70, 600 or more on
recommendation of the grand jury, passed
second reading.
The session of the senate was very
meagerly attended, and as consequence
legislation requiring a majority vote Of
the body TO pass it was almost entirely
avoided The only bill passed finally was
an amendment to the law relating to'thC
registration of births and deaths.
The governor sent in the nomination o
German ID. Spear, of Uniontown, to b,
superintendent of the Cumberland ma
tional road, lying in Fayette and Somerse
counties. No action was taken on thu
nomination because of the small atten
dance. The senate adjourned until Mon
day evening.
