Editor PosT:
Lest your compositors might be-
C ONE mutinous on this "All Fools
Day: not particularly on account of
the day, but more likely because of
the length and prosy character of
these letters, I'll promise for the
sake of your security and happiness
t. be more brief aud considerate to
the feelings of the several graceful
imps that adorn your sanctum.
Frequently, mutterings OF riot and
rebellion from these hard.worked
creatures have come to my ears and
much as would like to have whole
side of your progressive paper, l
will be satisfied with much less
space.
Poor House Biz Defeated.
For the second time this bill was
defeated by larger vote than that
which sounded its death knell the
first time. Earnest speoohes were
fniade'S5 Niles, Tocht, Patterson aud
your correspondent against the
measure, while Gould Baldwin and
others defended it. To my know
lege, no representative from any
county not having a poor house sup
ported this bill; and many of those
representing counties that have
poor houses on different plan than
is provided for in this bill also zeal
ously opposed it. The defeat of
this measure will not prevent coun-
ties from providing poor houses for
maintaining dependents since the
act of 1874 provides that the quail
fed voters of each county may de-
eide this question for themselves.
The Ne,o COmity.
The opposition to the proposed
Quay County resorted to fillibuster-
ing methods during full half day
in order to defeat it. Jeffreys. the
member from that section of Lu-
zerne county which is to form part of
the proposed county, championed
the bill. The five other members OF
that county and the six members
from Schuylkill, which county
would also lose part of its terri
tory if the bill should become a law,
are solidly arrayed against it. Mr..
Schrink, ably assisted by Stuck led
the fillibustering tactics by offering
numerous amendments to the diff
ferent sections Of the bill calling for
the yeas and nays on the adoption
OF every proposed amendment, call
ing for the reading of the yeas and
nays, moving to postpone the con
sideration of the bill, moving to ad
journ, and numerous other maneuv
ers tending to kill time. After
having successfully carried the fight
to the hour of adjournment, upon
reassembling they agreed to desist
from their fillibustering but gave
notice that they would contest
every inch of the progress of the
bill. 1t passed finally on second
reading by a small margin. Some
of the leaders must show an open
hand if the bill is to pass third
reading, and then it is question
because the eleven members from
that section, if they choose to unite
may make rough shedding for some
other fellows pet measures.
1t is generally supposed that the
bill will fail.
Railroad Legislation.
Representative Andrews of Craw-
ford county has blood in his eyes.
A bill passed the Senate compelling
the railroads in this County to fence
in their lines, but the measure ran
