BOINGS AT HARRISBURG.

will have finished its labor, and on next
Saturday noon the speakers gavel will
rap close of the session of '95. And If
the heat continues TO increase as it has
in the past few days, all will be thor
oughly ready to shake the. Harrisburg
dust from their feet at that time.
The past has been a week of considera-
BILE excitement among the politicians and
lawmakers in and about the State capitol,
arising from the question of reconsidera-
ton of the apportionment bills which
were defeated last week. There has been
much talk about apportionment by the
press Of the State, principally by the
papers of Philadelphia and Pittsburg,
which have been strenuously urging the
necessity for such action. The milk in
the cocoanut was the increased represen-
tation which increased apportionment
would give the cities, at the correspond
ing expense OF the country. While ap-
portionments should have been made in
obedience to custom, yet without them
the country districts are the gamers, es-
pecially in the matter of the legislative
apportionment, which would deprive
many country counties of one and two
members and place them in the cities,
where they are already too strong for the
country, and at present practically con-
troll most all legislation. On Friday all
three bills were called up by those op-
posed to them. The vote on the Congress
sional bill showed but so in its favor,
lacking % OF enough to pass it. The
other bills-Senatorial and Representa-
tive-had practically the same lumber
of votes. The vote in detail on the Con-
gressional bill was as follows:
