An Unfortunate Argument.

The tone of the Philadelphia Press
comment upon the proposition to
Lexow Philadelphia is, we should say,
a shade unfortunate. Some of the
terms used by II in referring to the
proposed committee are: Senatorial
smut machine" "sheer political de.
vice." fractional weapon in factional
fight rash revel of factionism'' and
"a committee of which one or more
members were notorious corruptionlsts
who were guilty Of bribery and being
bribed, and whose trafIlckng in the
shambles of jobbery is perfectly we'll
known" This last phrase Is particu-
larly interesting in view of the fact
that no committee has yet been ap-
pointed and hence none has any men,
bership to abuse. Finally, the Press some-
what sullenly says: Now. If any peo-
pie really banker after that sort of
business and want n little personal ex-
perience, let them try 1t on"
This tone, we think, is unfortunate,
both for the Press and for Philadel-
phia. 1t Is kind Of you're

The Grab for SpOiIs.

The message of Governor Hastings
urging upon the legislature the urgent
need OF caution and economy in it's eff
forts to disburse state funds is in keep
ing with the almost unanimous senti-
ment of the commonwealth, as eX-
pressed in the state press. 1t contains
nothing new, but it has behind it the
force of authority and the implied
threat that unless it's counsel shall be
needed, the executive will make free
and fearless use of his wholesome
power of veto.
1t would be unfair to the legislature
to leave uncorrected the impression
that much of its activity in the special
direction OF creating new state offices
has been dictated by extravaganza.
Up to this time, such creation of offices,
while apparently adding to the cost of
government, has in reality decreased
that cost through the economical con.
solidation of various departments and
the better classification and organiza-
tion OF the commemorative executive
work. This work of the legislature has
had the governors entire and cordial
approval; and his message of yesterday
does not criticise it but merely calls at
fention to the possible danger OF step
ping beyond the limits of clear neces-
sity.
1t is in the formulation, by individual
members, of local bids for state aid that
the great danger Of extravaganza lies.
The notion is common that a members
supreme duty Is to his own district:
and that if, by hook or crook, he can
Secure for that district liberal handful
OF commonwealth cash his performance
Of that duty will be complete. 1t will
not be easy to dispel this very general
delusion; but the idea is essentially
false. and to it can be traced a large
proportion of the jobbery and log roll
Ing now so prevalent in our legislative
assemblies.
lf Governor Hastings can check this
tendency he will do much for the public
welfare.

LEGISLATIVE TOPICS.
Status of Liquor Legislation.

Correspondence of The Tribune.
Harrisburg, Feb. 2t.-Several biiis aHect-
ing the liquor traffic are either pending or
else have recently been negatived in this
legislature. The Kunkel bill, which was
killed in the house on second reading, pro-
yided that the witnesses should be paid
as in other cases. and that If the judge
was satisfied that protests were made
through spite and had no foundation he
could in his discretion fasten the costs
on the remonstrants. The temperance
people admitted there was equity in the
measure, but they We're afraid of It's ef-
feet Representative Kephart, of Con-
nellsville, has introduced bill forbidding
brewers from holding bottlers' license.
II also fixes the minimum amount OF beer
to be sold by brewers at one-fourth of a
barrel. Nothing smaller than this Is per-
mitted At present brewers sell eighths.
The main objection to the existing regu-
lation is that 1t enables convivial parties
to buy beer in quantity too easily. Then
there is the Fow bill making the distil-
lers' and brewers license $1,000 all over the
state. The small manufacturers of intoxl-
cants protest that this idea for uniform
ity is Intended to drive them out of busl-
ness and that If the bill becomes u law
they might as well quit at once. The
Mackrell bill forbiddlng the sale OF less
than gallon packages OF hard liquors like
whisky and brandy has been out Of com
mittee for some time and will soon be on
second reading. Mr.. Mackrell Is think
ing seriously of reducing the amount
from a gallon to n half gallon. There is
very little doubt that the Prohibitionists
would like to have new appeal to the
people on the constitutional amendment
question; but they have as yet taken no
formal steps to this end.

Supreme Court Relief

The measure which Judge Archibald
has drafted and Senator Vaughan in
troduced provides for O court of appeals
to be composed Of five judges at a salary
Of $500 year and mileage at the rate
of ten cents a mile. The first court Is
TO be appointed by the governor, and to
serve until Jan. /, 1896, when 1t will be
succeeded by judges to be elected next
November, one for years, one for 8
years, one for years, one for IL years
and one for IL years. Thereafter the
term of each will be 10 years. The first
Judges to be elected shall decide by lot
upon the various terms of service; and
the shortest termer shall be the presd-
ing judge of the court The court will
not have original jurisdiction except in
cases Of habeas corpus; and with the
exception of felonious homicide and
cases in law and equity involving a less
amount than $1,000 its decision shall be
final. The court will hold two terms
, a year, and will sit in the cities of
Philadelphia, Pittsburg, Harrisburg,
Wilkes-Barre, Williamsport and Erie,
but somewhat strangely, 1t will dodge
Scranton despite the fact that its author
and legislative sponsor are both scran-
fonians.
The measure seems fair one, in sew
eral details superior to the propositions
of similar intent which have preceded
It, 1t has the advantage of placing the

The Lancaster New Era eloquently
defends the much-abused bird book"
Of DR.. Warren, and contends that its
republication, at state expense, is not
bit of extravaganza. How would the
New Era like 1t IL the Legislature were
to print, at public expense, u daily
newspaper in Lancaster county? If a
bird book, why not a newspaper, a
dictionary and a magazine? The fact
Is the printing Of the bird book was a
trick of ignorance at the very begin
ming. What right has the common
wealth Of Pennsylvania to go into the
book k-printing business?

palmistry Not Tolerated.
lnlnn L effA In the Sun

English law has put the official stamp
or Its condemnation on palmiStry as u
guidd to the future. 1t Is a common thing
to punish ordinary fortune tellers. card
readers and astrologers in the police
courts, for British courts take excellent
care of the pockets of British citizens,
and fortune telling has long been a pun
ishable offence. The law winked at the
fad or crime OF hand reading as lang as it
was a mere drawing room amusement,
but when d palmst undertook to read the
future for pay from the lines In the hands
of superstitious or scientific women the
police promptly summoned her before the
lord mayors court. The magistrate
seemed to regard 1t as Il peculiarly henous
offence, for he imposed a fine of $l25,
equivalent to the combined penalties for
half numbering scores of children in this
country.

An Anti.iIazing Bill.

Mr.. Seyfert is after the college hazers
with n sharp stick. He has framed bill
defining the practice of hazing in schools
and colleges as any attempt to inflict per-
sonal or bodily discomfort, annoyance or
mental anguish or injury upon the person
of any student. The bill provides that the
president and faculty of every linsti-
tuition of learning are empowered to in
stantly dismiss students guilty of hazing.
And that, in case of willful negligence,
criminal carelessness or silent acquies-
cence of the president and managers in a
case of hazing. the said president and
managers shall be subject to Indictment
for conspiracy. and upon conviction shall
be punishable by Imprisonment for thirty
days or u fine of not less than 800.

Defining Train Robbery.

bill defining the crime of train robbery
and its punishment. 1t provides that
any person who shall remove displace or
injure any switch, frog rail or other rail-
way gear, or who shall place any obstruc-
ton on n railway track, with the design
of robbing or derailing n train or shall
by any means cause the injury or death
of any person travelling or employe of the
| company, shall be guilty of train rob
berry, and, II found guilty. shall be pun
ished by death or confinement in the peni-
tertiary for not less than ten years.

another" cry proving rather than
removing the need of an investi-
cation. Now, The Tribune, too, is
opposed to the suggested investi-
cation, upon the broad principle that
Philadelphans ought to be able to gov
ern themselves. We are not specially
concerned in Philadelphia politics, one
was or another; but we are concerned
in the limiting Of the senate Of Penn
sylvania to it's proper sphere of duty.
We do not want it to begin an imperti-
nent intermeddling in the municipal
affairs of Philadelphia for the obvious
reason that if 1t did that, it might some
day take it into its head to poke its nose
into the municipal affairs of Wilkes
Barre, or Carbondale, or Scranton, In
neither of which places has it one iota
of business.
The Press, 1t seems to us, ought to
stand up for the principle involved; and
not try simply to spatter mud on the
state senate.
