BECAUSE Pattison twice slipped into
the Gabernatorial chair by reason of
wrangles in the Republican ranks, his
admirers think for similar causes he
may be elected mayor of the great Re
publican city of Philadelphia, and ac-
cordingly they placed him in namina-
zion within a few hours after he had
witnessed the Inauguration of his sue
cessor. Bat nobody need be scared.
The pitcher that went to the well too
often was finally broken. The attempt
10 unite Democrats and disgruntled
Republicans in his support has already
failed, and the next Mayor of the Qua
ker City will be a stalwart Republican
named Charles +. Warwick.

Tax on Aliens.

HARRIsBURG, January I9.-Repeated
efforts have been made in this State by
lawmakers and Representatives OF the pa
triotic societies and labor organizations to
secure the enactment of law taxing ali
ems, but the opposition to such measures

their passage. Afler hitter fight, such Il
bill passed finally IN the House at the last
session and was defeated ia the Senate.
The efforts In the past have not discour-
aged the friends Of such legislation and a
bill imposing tax upon foreigners has
been introduced into the House by Mr..
Biddle, Of Bradford, and will be consid-
cred by the general Judiciary committee
when il meets again.
The bill provides that every male alien

throughout the country, as having been
the first case wherein The defense was ia
voluntary homicide. has assumed new
phase by reason OF the action of the Kan

tie influence, and having convicted the
hypnotizer of murder in the first degree,
the higher court has now come 30 the

fest from this latest phase Of the case that
the defense OF hypnotic influence offers
great opportunities for mGrderers, wheth-
er acting by themselves or through the
agency OF others. but justice falls betwixt
the two stools.
