Governor Ellerbe has appointed
Miss Montgomery, OF Marion, State
Librarian in the place so long and
acceptably filled by Mrs. LeConte.
The change has created considerable
talk. 4 great many think the Gov
ernor should not have displaced Mrs
.LeConte, who is a widow, AID who
has filed the position in a yes,y credit
able manner they argue that she
was appointed by Governor Iil!man,
OF whose administration Governor
Ellerbe was part, and probably was
largely instrumental. III urging her
claim upon his chief. We should
have been glad if Mrs. LeConte was
retaiued, but the appointing power
was with the Governor, and lie used
it according to his own judgment,
but we hope he will be able to find
another place for this deserving lady.

An EXPENSIVE SESSION.

The Legislature was to have ad-
journea last Saturday, but it did
not, owing to the vast amount of
matter still unground in the legisla-
tive mill. Without doubt, this Legis-
latare has worked harder without ac-
complishing anything, other than to
raise the tax levy, than aey Legisla-
ture assembled atNColumbia in a
nan :5ees-f 5eess- GxeaS GxeaS The bills ratified
and which are now laws, with but
very few exceptions, have no bearing
on the people. If anything has been
to done raise The free schools from a
little better than farce We have been
unable to see or hear OF it. If there
Was any legislation which would
make the machinery less cumber-
some and less expensive we have not
seen nor heard Of it. No wonder the
people are getting heartily tired Of
annual sessions of the General As
sembly and would be glad if the con-
stitution could be amended to have
one session every five years, and if
the body is TO be made up OF ma
terial similar to that which represents
us now, we think one session to
celebrate each centennial would be
very acceptable.
Judging from the number of bills
introduced and the cropping in the
dark of large portion Of the mem
bers, we doubt exceedingly whether
there are a balf-dozen men in both
branches who, before leaving their
homes, took the trouble to ascertain
the needs OF their constituents; but
they must do something, and having
an ides that their constituents would
be pleased at voting for the reduction
of salaries, they pitch in and slash
at the salary Of some obscure clerk
who does more actual work in one
day than the members themselves
during session; at the same time
they will take days to pass a bill to
make it lawful to accept free pass
on the railroads, and this too, at the
cost of about one thousand dollars
day for the people to pay. The lit
tie saved by cutting salaries Of clerks,
and printing billsis wasted by fritter-
ing away time in discussing matters
which do not concern the people.
How much did the anti-free pass bill
cost the taxpayers? And who was to
be benefited by it hadit passed; sure
" not the people who pay the taxes?
but the men whom they elected to
protect their interests. would be sole
berefciaries. The Governor ap-
pointed a Librarian; right off some
man who had an axe to grind proposed
a bill to take this appointment away
from the Governor; of course it had
to he discussed and the time con-
sumed cost the people more than the
salary o! the Librarian would amount
TO in twelve months. Ii men, when
thev receive the nominations, would
nrelare themselves for the work be-
fore them, study the needs Of the
respective counties they represent,
and then 60 to Columbia with fixed
purpose to work and get through,
there would not be such long ses-
sions and the Statute books would
not be filed up with a lot Of laws to

General Harrison's Book.
The Story Why Mr.. Box Released All Claims
TO Royalty.

The Indianapolis Journal prints
this interesting story concerning ex-
President Harrlson's forthcoming
book; General Harrison has just
completed the revision Of his articles
which have appeared in THE Ladies
Home journal, making extended potes
and additions to them. There is a
little story in connection with both
articles and publication. When the
arrangement for the articles was made
with General Harrison by Edward w.
Box, editor of Tile LadieS' Home
/ouyuaI the General was paid for
them, with the understanding that
when they were put into book form
the magazine was to share the royal
ties accruing therefrom. Mr.. Box,
however, of his own accord, generous
ly released General Harrison from
paying him any royalty, for the reason,
as he states, that by the publication
of the articles by General Harrison
the subscription list of ms magazine
was enlarged many thousands. The
profits to Tie Ladies' Home journal
were more than the publishers antici-
pated, and in view of this Mr.. Box
asks nothing further. General Har-
rison placed the disposition Of his
book in Mr.. Bok's hands. The best
offer came to the editor from the
Scribners, and to them Mr. Box gave
the book for his distinguished con
tributor. General Harrison's revision
of the book has just been completed,
and the volume will appear in the
| autumn.

MUST PAY MERCANTILE TAX.
Judge Mitchell Oismisses the Appeal o.
Swift & Co. in important Case.

Judge John l. Mitchell on Monday
at Welsboro handed down an opinion
in the case of the appeal of Swift &
Co. of Blossburg, against the mercan-
tile tax Of $50 imposed upon them by
the commonwealth. He dismissed
the appeal and held that they must
pay the tax.
Some forty witnesses were sworn in
the case, about thirty in behalf Of the
commonwealth. Much interest was
manifested in the question involved in
this appeal, which IS raised for the
first time in this state, for if the COM
monwealth succeeds in maintaining
its tax upon this company, the Ar
mour, Swift and similar companies
throughout the state will be subject to
the tax, and the commonwealth will
derive an income from these compan-
les of about $4,000. The case will
undoubtedly be carried to the Su-
preme Court.
The Blossburg house is branch of
the Chicago corporation of Swift &
Co. and it sells not only the prepared
meats of cattle, sheep and hogs and
the manufactured products of the
same as shipped from western houses,
but also the product of other concerns.
1t was shown by the evidence of the
manager that the company does a
business at its Blossburg house of be-
tween $4,000 and 100000 each
year that besides selling meat it sells
butter, cheese, eggs, chickens, pre-
pared mince meat, soap powder, etc.,
that the house sends an agent around
the country and through Potter and
|Lycoming counties soliciting orders
for the goods and then sends a man
and team around delivering the goods
