ERRORS OF PASSION.

From the Philadelphia Times.
The Independents ana Democrats Of the
house who took issue with Speaker Farr
because he adjourned the body under the
rule requiring the house to adjourn at Ii
o'clock on Fridays, have pulled them
selves together and confessed their blum
der by amending the rule To make no
hour for adjournment OH Fridays, thus
leaving the house to adjourn at will In
the intiamed passions Of that conflict in
opposition to the speaker they permitted
themselves to be placed i'm a false position
on two questions directly affecting the
dignity and character of the body, The
first was the organization of the rumD
house that MIR. Bliss the chosen speaKer,
was compelled to confess was not the reg
ularly organized house ana therefore not
capable of any legislative action. In the
wild temper Of the moment The stenog-
rapher Of the house was directed TO re-
port the proceedings of the mass meeting
as the proceedings of the regular leEis-
lature, and they were 81 reported and
printed in the Legislative Record The Of
Ulcers of the house directly responsible
for what is published in the Record, or
dered the edition suppressed containing
the report OF the distcmpered mass meet
ing as the proceedings of the house, ana
against this act OF Justice 10 the legisla-
ture a number OF high-kiciers among the
Independents have made violent protest
o.
The house has set itself right and sus-
tanned Speaker Earr in enforcing the rule
relating to adjournment on Fridays BY
unanimously amending the rule, amt u
should he quite as frank and Just to j; salf
by excluding from the Record everything
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1899-03-18

but the proper legislative proceedings.
The house could order the proceedings of
the meetings over which Mr.. Bliss pre-
sided TO be published In the Record, as 1t
at times orders bills, reports, etc, to be
printed for public information. but until
the house shall by resolution order the
publication OF those proceedings In the
Record, they have no more right there
than would q report OF the proceedings
of the Quay caucus held in the Supreme
court room or the proceedings of an anti
Quay meeting in Lancaster.
o.
Legislators should ever bear in mind that
the Legislature Is a body governed by law
and it should especially exhibit itself as
an eXemplar of obedience to law. The
fact that on the various factional Issues
which have arisen, members have usual.
ly divided solely according to their fac
tiona1 lines regardless of right or wrong
has done much to weaken popular respect
for our present legislators. When the
speaker and other officers of the house arc
right, there should be manliness enough
in the body to defend them, ana VIII II
they are wrong there should be manlines,
enough to condemn them. The leglsla'
ture is not the field OF battle for con
stabulary honors, but 1t is expected to bt
a dignifed, impartial and honest represen
tative of the people as the lawmakinl
power of the state.

THE HIGHEST POINT.

There has been col siderable contro-
versy recently in the newspapers as to
the exact location OF the highest point
in the state. Monroe county claims 1t,
but Civil Engine n Hahn, of Phillipsburg,
Potter county, places the elevation on the
summit of TyronS ard Cleariield railroad
at 300 feet, and a still higher point, 8, 900
feet, at the. intersection of Somerset, Bed

the last geological report of the state,
Prospect Hill, Mexican county three
miles east of SmithpCrt, is the highest
point in Pennsylvania, some 800 feet.
However, Potter scars the highest of all
