The Machine Both Violates and Ig-
nOres the COnstitution

nOres the Constitution.
Amy amendment or amendments to
this constitution may be proposed In
the senate or house of representatives,
and, If the same shall be agreed to by
majority of the members elected to
each house, such proposed amendment
or amendments shall be entered on
their journals with the yeas and nays
taken thereon, and the secretary of the
commonwealth shall cause the same
to be published three months before
the next general election in at least
two newspapers in every county. =
Sec. l of Article XVIII of the consti-
tuition of Pennsylvania"
In conformity with this provision of
our constitution, in 1899, in the last
legislature, an amendment to the con-
stitution was proposed, the object of
the amendment being to prevent the
repetition of well known election
frauds, by providing for personal regis
tration.
1t was a decided step for good hon
est, clean government, and in justice
to the members of the last legislature
1t must be said that even Quay was i'm
potent in this matter. Even he could
not cause its defeat, and the amend
ment was carried by both houses.
Quay, however, had another card I'D
MS sleeVe-the knave-who represents
the Quay machine in the governors
chair, and although Governor Stone
had absolutely no prerogatives in the
premises than any other qualified cleo
tor in the state yet without power of
law, he took upon himself the respon-
slbil1ty of vetoing the amendment.
This aroused the friends of good gov
ernment throughout the state, and the
matter was promptly taken into court,
where the question was ably argued,
and the Quay machine was informed by
the court that the constitution must
be obeyed, and that Governor Stone
had nothing to do with the matter.
Even then the Quay machine did not
give up the struggle to prevent the
enactment of the amendment. In their
efforts to prevent any legislation which
would inure to fair vote and an hon
est count they stopped at nothing. One
other OF their creatures, the secretary
of the commonwealth, is instructed, by
the article quoted above, to cause the
same to be advertised. The Quay ma
chine seized upon the alleged omission
OF the legislature to provide funds
with which to pay for the advertising
of the amendment and the obedient
secretary of the commonwealth re-
fused to take any official action in the
matter. We thus have the delightful
scene of one Quayite arrogatingto him
self too much power and another Quay
ite refusing to use the power confer
red upon him by the constitution.
AS soon as Secretary Griest made
known his decision, refusing to adver-
tise the amendment, the friends OF
an honest administration of the laws,
and of a true Interpretation of the con-
stitution, came to its rescue, and the
matter was again taken into court, and
once more the Quay machine was beat
en-, and as a result, notwithstanding
the Vaccinations of the Quay machine
the voters of this state will have an op-
portunity of voting for or against the
amendment on the 9Th of November.

In this state ballot reform is the

so loudly vociferating that there is no
such thing as an imperialistic issue.

The Ox-PeCker.

These starlings not only rid the
animals they frequent of ticks and
other vermin, but they often peck at
sores on oxen and donkeys until they
form cavities, which measure some
times two inches or more III diameter,
and as much IN depth; they actually
do eat the flesh and drink the blood
of these animals. Oxen submit quite
placidly to this process of being eaten
alive and seem none the worse for it
afterward, but donkeys show their OBJ
jections by trying to rid themselves
OF the birds by rolling on the ground
and rushing under bushes. = Fro

Our Civil warswas fought by the yolun-

ing to promote the efficiency of the
national guard has been bitterly and
successfully opposed by the war de-
partment and the regular army officials.
Before the war with Spain the appro-
tpriations for the regular establishment
exceeded $1,000 per capita, while all the
war department would concede the vol
unteer or national guard organizations
was 30 per capita, and that was paid
in obsolete ordnance discarded by the
regular army. Today, while the annual
appropriations for the army have been
raised to 900 GEO, the appropriation
for the national guard Of all the states
composed of 15,000 volunteers, was fixed
at $1,o00,0GO in the aggregate. 1t has
been, and 1T is now more than ever
the avewed policy of the war department
to secure a
LARGER STANDING ARMY
with all the life. tenures which such a
permanent increase would entail. A
strong argument for larger standing
army was found in the apparently weak
condition of the national guard due to
obsolete armament and lack of equip
mentS. An appropriation to improve the
armament of the national guard would
eorrespondingly increase its efficiency
and bring 1t to the level of the regular
army; but it would also to that extent
render more remote the necessity for a
larger standing army. This conflict OF
interest between the national guard and
the regular army readily explains WHY
the war department has never originated

admitted, but it is quite probable that
