TO THE LEGISLATURE.

Tho Pennsylvania Civil Service Reform
association has addressed the following
memorial to the Pennsylvania legislature:
THE Exc cLtive committee of tine Penn
sylvania Civil Service Reform association
respectfully represents that rumors are
current throughout the community that
the measures of political reform which
have been introduced into the legislature
in response to a strong and growing pub
lie sentin ent, some of which measures
have already been introduced into the leg
islature in response to strong and grow
ing public sentiment, some of which
measures have already passed the senate,
are in danger of defeat in the house
through efforts to engraft upon them
amendments which viii seriously injure
the bills, and may prevent their final
enactment
I'VE desire to call the attention of your
honorable body to the history of the pre-
paration of these bills; that they were
drafted by a subcommittee of the Re-
publican State Executive committee in
obedience to the dGclarat tions of a State
convention of that party, and were speci-
ficially approved by a subsequent conVen-
ton. The convention Of 1896 adopted the
following: we reaffirm the declarations
contained in the state platform of 1895
looking to needed reforms in state and
municipal government and to the purihca-
tion of elections and the exercise of the
elective franchise. We earnestly recon-
mend to the consideration of the next
legislature the several reform bills pro-
mulgated by the Republican State COM
mittee. and request the Republicans of
both houses to give them favorable con-
sideration and support, and such other
bills as may be introduced at the next
session of the legislature in line with the
principles of reform.
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1897-05-08
Speedy Action Demanstss )

A careful comparison of the text of
the Dingley bill as It passed the house
with its text after amendment by the
senate finance committee leads to the
onpinion that upon the whole the bill
has been improved. In certain respects
the senate bill is inferior to the house
bill. For example, it puts on the free
list all works of art, which are luXur-
ies for which the wealthy might well
pay a revenue duty. Its sugar sched-
ulc is too favorable to the trust; its
tax on tea a bit of political rashness
that would be suicidal if not sure to be
eliminated in conference; and its in
crease in the beer tax one that, how
ever justifable on moral grounds,
seems of questionable expediency.
But on the other hand, it's lowering
of the duty on steel rails which in the
light of recent developments no longer
stand in need of projections; its elm
ination of the Objectionable duty on
books imported for reference purposes
by libraries; its reduction of the du-
ties on high-class wools, to the end
that increased revenue may come by
reason of augmented nOn-compet-
tive imports; and in general its
effort to adjust the various duties so
that there will be a greater certainty
of revenue than appeared in the higher
schedules of the original, or house,
measure, strongly recommend it.
We do not concur in the opinion that
the differences between the two houses
of congress indicated in the two drafts
are such as to presage a prolonged con-
flict. The situation calls rather for
mutual concession in the hope of has
tening final action. 1t is not a time for
persistent advocacy of conflicting the
ories. The main point of immediate
necessity is to repair the gap in the
federal revenues. This done, alteration
of details and finishing touches can
be superadded at leisure. President
Mckinley has the right idea when he
says he will sign whatever kind of a
bill congress will pass, provided there
is a reasonable certainty of its accom-
plishing the purpose for which this ses-
sion of congress was convened.
With such an assurance from the
white house itwould i'll become the two
branches of congress to bicker over un-
important details.
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1897-05-08
Revise the Blue Laws.

The present legislature could not bet
ter employ the time which remains to
it ere adjournment than in making a
thorough revision of the laws govern
ing Sunday observance, This is es-
peCially called for in the matter of
Sunday baseball playinE--a practice
alarmingly on the increase among the
young and one whose net influences are
essentially harmful
The present laws on this subiet are
an inheritance from the last century
and by no means fit modern conditions.
The penalties provides in them are in
many instances grOtesquo in the light
of changed ideas concerning the proper
scope of legislation affecting matters of
conscience. A thorough enforcement
of them nowadays is virtually impossi-
bic, and in any event it is preposterous
to ask the people of the closing decade
of the nineteenth century to adapt
their habits to the obsolete notions of
century ago. 1t is the duty of legisla
tiOn to keep pace with the times, and
in no direction is this more urgent than
in that to which we have just called
attention.
In the matter of sports, if the sane
tity and the sanitary wholesomeness of
the Sabbath are to be preserved
amendatory and supplementary legis-
lation is Indispensable. The uncheck-
cd drift of the times away from pru-
dent Sunday observance is matter Of
the utmost seriousness, and Darticu-
larly so in communities where the aver
age of morality and social order is al
ready none too high. If instead of be-
ing brought under moral teaching the
young, on this day, are encouraged by
the civil authorities TO assemble on
vacant lots, and contract at a tender
age the habits of profanity, bolster
BUSINESS and contempt for wise re-
straint, IL needs no gift of prophecy to
foresce a time when these uncurbed
lads, grown into men, will form a rest
less and dangerous element in our
citizenship.
Viewed not from narrow but from
a broad and liberal standpoint, action
by the legislature of Pennsylvania is
imperatively demanded. The condi-
tions of today demand, not blue laws
but common sense laws fitted to mod
