places, and the conference which led
to its adoption was held at the wrong
time.
No one will dispute the necessity
of retrenchment. Dull times and the
decisions of the courts have very
seriously reduced the State revenues
since the last Legislature was in ses-
sion But this fact was or should have
been just as well known on January
as on April Is, and the conference
which has decided to place schools,
charities, public Improvements and the
National Guard on short commons
should have been held before new
Office was created, salary raised or a
dollar appropriated for an unnecessary
purpose. The important interests that
concern the public should have been
provided for first and at the expense
of the necessary economy in all other
directions. And what was clearly
necessary in the way Of economy should
have been determined at the very out
set.
As it is, the new officials and the
higher salaries will be paid at the ex-
pense of the public improvements,
education, charities and defense. This,
if the people are properly awake to
their own best interests, they will con-
demn in unmeasured terms. 1t can
not be said that legislators and State
officials have sinned in the matter of
official extravaganza in the face OF
declining revenues without light and
knowledge. The Times and other
journals called attention to the pro.
posed raid of the boodlers upon the
State Treasury at the very beginning
of the session, and warned the Legis-
lature that the day of reckoning would
follow very shortly There can be no
plea of ignorance filed in abatement

The Judges retirement bill passed
finally Tuesday in the house. The
vote was los to seventyseven, just
four more than necessary. The meas
ure retires Judges on full pay who
have been in Office twenty consecutive
years, or thirty years altogether, and
have reached the age Of seventy. The
only justices now eligible to retire
under the act are Judges Hare, Fin
letter and Allison, of Philadelphia,
and Pershing, of Schuylkill The bill
goes to the Senate.
We are opposed to bills Of this
character, but if they are to be passed,
there is no reason why they should
not be made applicable to all Judges
In the state who have served twenty
years and reached the age of seventy
years. A Judge whose twenty years
expired on January Ist, and who had
attained the age of seventy the day
before, goes into retirement with nc
pay, while the Judge who complete:
his twenty years the day after this bill
is signed by the Governor, and Wa:
seventy years old the day before, Car
retire on four thousand dollars q
year. There can be no good reason
for such a distinction. If any Judge.
who have filled these conditions are
to be pensioned, all ought to be. l
the bill were made retro active il
would include very few Judges now of
the bench We know of none excep
Judge Elwell, and if his distinguished
services for twenty six years are no
worthy of recognition on the retired
list, there is not Judge in the State
who deserves it.

PRESIDENT OLEVELAND'S TAX
RETURN.

President Cleveland has filled out
his income tax blank. In it he has
included his salary of $50, as
Chief Executive, on which the tax
will be $9ao, deciding to leave it
to the proper officers to determine
whether the payment of the per
cent assessment will be in violation
of that provision of the Federal Con,
stitution which says the compensation
of the President shall not be increased
nor diminished during the term for
which he shall have been elected. AS
to the payment OF the tax, Mr.. Cleve.
land has until the first of July to dc
it, and as the constitutional question
affecting his salary will undoubtedly
have been passed on before that time,
the President will wait for the dis
position of the matter.
1t is said that Mr.. Cleveland is un
certain as to whether he should claim
Buzzard's Bay or New York City a:
his place of residence, and that, fol
this reason, it is not unlikely that he
will send in his return to the Deputy
Collector in Washington.

Retranchment in Wrong Places.

After creating lot of new and use
less Offices and unnecessarily increas.
ing the salaries of officers provided for
by existing laws, the officials at
Harrisburg, including the Legislature,
have discovered that reuenchment

any salaries. They will just lop a

Fishermen Ought To Protest.

Every reputable fisherman in the
State ought to enter his objections to
the proposed bill legalizing the use of
" fish baskets" in the streams of the
State.
Its adoption would put an and to
one Of the most royal of sports and
conhne fishing to the few who though
mercenary and greedy motives are
ready and willing to depopulate the
streams of their 6nny inhabitants-lor
that is what would result from the
general use Of fish baskets.
The Scranton Republican very
properly remarks that the State, in
regulating hunting and fishing, looks
upon both as sport rather than means
of livelihood.
With this idea in view the State
Fish Commission was established, and
along this line its work of restocking
streams with fish has been conducted
during recent years.
TO legalize the wholesale trapping
of fish in baskets would stultify this
principle and reduce the fish commits.

The Boom in Oil,

Producers Of crude petroleum, who
have been sighing for "dollar oil 4"
since the early months of 1890, have
had their wishes more than fulfilled.
Since January the price of oil has
advanced from os cents to So per
barrel, and nobody would be surprised
if the market should to morrow open
considerably above that figure. Since
1876, when crude oil fuctuated rapid.
ly between $3.50 and $3.50 per barrel,
there has been no such sudden jump
as has taken place within the past two
weeks. At this time there is no basis
upon which to fix probable limit for
the advance, for TIE So mark, which
was regarded us maximum a few
days ago, is no longer considered as
stopping point. There are well in
formed oil operators who declare that
l$3 is not an improbable price.
Whether this be within the range of
possibility or not, there is no question
that greater activity is being displayed
in oil operations at present than IN
many iprevious years.
The statistical position of oil reveals
the cause of the rise in price and the
tremendous activity in exploration
that has been stimulated thereby. AT
the opening of this month the stock
of Pennsylvania oil was less than
| 5000, 900 barrels one year ago it was
about 100000 barrels, and the
year before it was I6,ooo,o 900 barrels.
The drain upon stocks has been SC
heavy of late thar the stored supply
has been reduced to point tina,
makes it merely nominal factor in
the trade. An authority regarded
sufficiently competent to be quoted by
the American Manufacturer estimate:
the gross stock of crude oil in the
entire country at 3,6a3,S44 barrels,
Of which I,5Io,735 barrels are sedi
ment and surplus, leaving the tota
amount of merchantable oil at only
I,Io3, 100 barrels. AS this is less thar
the amount consumed in two weeks

the output and the consumption IL
plainly apparent. Ten years ago there
was a stock Of 10000, 900 barrels II
the Appalachian oil field, which EN-
braces Pennsylvania, New York
West Virginia and Eastern Ohio.
The future course of the oil marke
depends upon the developments O
the next week or two. If the tremen
dous activity in drilling new well
should open big producer the ris'
in prices would be promptly checked
at least for time. Just where
strike is to be looked tor is enhrel
conjectural; but everybody interested
in oil will watch the news from III
oil fields with intense interest duun

Major Raymond Outlines Plans for the Grea

The report of Major Raymond, the
Government engineer in Philadelphia,
on the feasibility Of plan to prevent
damage from floods in the valley of
the west branch Of the Susquehanna
River, has been received. He says
the task is entirely practical. The
work will require large expenditure
of money, and this, it is said, will
have to be paid by residents Of the
Valley. The Williamsport Board of
Trade will take active measures in
acting upon Major Raymond's sug-
gestions, and other towns will probably
be invited to cooperate.
