The Lamblike Mr.. Finn.

From roaring lion in the jungle to
the insurgents Mr.. William Finn, OF
Pittsbnrg is developing the attributes OF
thu meek and lowly lamb. Very lamb
like, indeed, is Mr.. Finn these days.
Instead of prancing in victory over the
ruins OF Republican party organization
he is on his knees and begging for his
own political salvation.
The trouble with Mr.. Finn is that for
years he has bossed his town and
squeezed the financial juice ont of it in
the way of contracts until could the peo-
pie have a fair show at him, they would
proceed to get rid of him. He certainly
must fear this, otherwise he would not
be imploring members of the Legislature
to defeat the new charter that is proposed
for Pittsburg. Only a few weeks ago he
was calling Republicans who upheld ma
jority rule all sorts of names. Republi-
cans elected on the Senatorial issue for
Quay and pledged to him were violently
denounced as traitors because they re-
fused to go along with the Finn contin-
gent Of party wreckors and smashers and
boilers. But now-how different at is
all over. So let us get together-get to-
gether and save Me-" That is what he
is saying in effect.
Well, it isn't all over and it won't be
until the last insurgent is driven into the
deep sea of political oblivion. There is
no use in the Republican party for wreck
ers and boilers and those who believe in
the minority rule Of the few. There is no
reason why Mr.. Finn should be saved,
and if the Pittsburg charter bill should
be ad jpted and it should put him out of
politics, the Republican party at large
would be the better tor it and most GER
tainly Pittsburg would.
Even the organs of Mr.. Finn in his
own city are pleading now, and here is
one of them at hand actually appealing to
Governor Stone to stop the proposed
legislation. The Governor is not men,
Der Of the Legislature, but if he were he
would doubtless reply that so far as Pitts
burg is concerned, it makes nc difference
what Mr.. Finn wants. 1t is for the peo-
pie themselves TO determine. Ifthere is
demand among the citizens for the new
charter it will doubtless be adopted, for
Mr.. Finn has lost whatever right he
ever had to speak for the great Republi-
can party of Allegheny county. He need
not even be consulted.-Phiiadelphta In.

Gov. Stone INDICATED.

The right Of the governor to abate an
appropriation by conhning his aproval
to an amount less than the sum total was
involved by the case decided yesterday in
the court of common pleas of Center
county. The Patton township school dis
trict applied for mandamus upon the
state treasurer to COMPEL him to pay the
district its proportionate share of the
whole amount appropriated by the bill.
The approval Of the governor was
limited to slO,OOO,OOO although the bill
appropriated sll,OOO,OOO, and the school
district demanded its proportonate share
of the sl,OOO,OOO withheld owing 10 the
governors action.
The case turned wholly upon the power
and authority Of the governor in the ex-
ercise of his veto power. 1t was admitted
that he could veto any item of an appro-
priation bill, but it was denied that he
could approve part of an appropriation
and veto another part. The decision of
the court broadly sustains the power and
authority of the governor to veto in
whole or in part any appropriation which
the legislature may make. 1t is held
that the governor, like the president, is
a branch Of the legislature in the exercise
Of his veto power, and in that capacity
acts npon his own judgment as legisla-
tor. The word ''item," as describing the
subject of his authority, can only be re-
garded as meaning any piece or portion
taken from the whole. The court de-
clares that "to hold that the power given
is only that of Disappearing a single
item, or paragraph, or section of the bill
in its entirety, would defeat the very
purpose for which The power was given"
The court presents considerations show
ing that any other view of the nature and
extent Of the veto power would defeat the
constitutional intent. The special cir
cumstances Of the case are examined and
their cogency in prompting Gov. stones

Yes, August Flower still has the larg-
est sale of any medicine in the civilized
world. Your mothers and grandmothers
never thought of using anything else for
Indigestion or Biliousness. Doctors
were scarce, and they seldom heard OF
appendicitis, nervous prostration, or
heart failure, etc. They used August
Flower to clean out the system and stop
fermentation Of undigested food, regu-
late the action of the liver, stimulate the
nervous and organic action OF the osystem,
and that is all they took when feeling
dull and bad with headaches and other
aches. You only need few doses of

matter with you. Get Green's Prize AL

A Word From the Burgess.

In the begiHning of this, the 10th CEN
tury, many improvements are being sug-
gested and made in the government Of
nations, Kingdoms, republics and muni-
cipalities, important changes are being
introduced. The Borough of Tionests is
also looking forward to better govern
ment, better police and municipal regu-
lations. The town Council at the sug-
gestion and petition of a large number of
the fathers and mothers in the Borough,
have passed a law known as the Curfew.
1t is unnecessary to repeat it at this time
as it has been so recently published and
posted, that all know what it is. This
ordinance is for the good OF the boys and
giIls under l6 years Of age, who through
thoughtlessness sometimes overstep the
bounds of propriety by being on the
streets and out at night when they should
be at home. And now since the fathers
and mothers have caused this law TO be
passed, ], as Burgess, call upon those
fathers and mothers and all good citizens,
10 assist the officers in enforcing it. We
hope that no occasion may arise where II
will be necessary to visit the penalty up.
on any boy or girl. 1t will be very un-
pleasant duty for officers to be compelled
to cause the arrest of any one. But the
law is ofno use, unless it is enforced, and
those who violate the same cannot COM
plain when officers do their sworn duty
and bring them tojustice. 1t has been
said that the age limit was too young,
that those over l6 need restraint as well
as those under. This is probably true,
but the Legislature in 1895 passed law
relating to disorderly conduct, that is
much more severe than the Curfew.
1t is this:
"Ifany person or persons shall will
fully make or cause to be made, any loud,
b'istrous and unseemly noise or disturb
ance to the annoyance of the peaceable
residents nearby, or shall thereby cause
the assemblage of persons upon or near
to any public highway, road, street, lane,
alley, park, square or common within
this Commonwealth, whereby the public
peace is broken or disturbed or the trav-
cling public annoyed, he, she, or they
shall be guilty of the offence ofdisorderly
conduct and upon conviction thereof be-
fore any Justice of the peace, alderman,
mayor or burgess shall be sentenced to
pay the costs of prosecution and to for
felt or pay a fine not exceeding ten dol
lars, and in default of the payment there.
of shall be committed to and imprisoned
in the county Jail of the proper county
for period not exceeding 80 days"
We hope all citizens will see these laws
are not violated, so that the officers ap-
pointed to see they are executed may
not be compelled to resort to harsh means.
This last mentioned law is in force all The
time. 1t applies to all, before o'clock
as well as after.

action is set forth. The fact is is adverted
to that Gov. Stones predecessors in
office exercised the veto power in prac-
tically the same way, and in conclusion
the court dismissed the petition at the
cost of the plaintiff,
The decision is a signal vindication OF
Gov. Stones course, which has displayed
a high degree of fortitude. Large school
appropriations engage the support Of an
immense mass of local political interest,
and in taking the position he did Gov.
Stone showed an amount of nerve and
firmness that he had not been generally
credited with and which has distinctly

seventeen years ago, Farrand, Spear 81

first sale was TO paint the Harrington
residence, well known there.
Mr.. Farrand says the house appears,
from the street, to be well painted now,
and has never been repainted.

about a job Of paint that has lasted seven
teen years on a sea side holse. 1t is the
longest time we have had report on.

SOM E KAHN.

It doesn't always pour when it rains, but 1t poured in the last rain. IL was decidedly damp on the coast Saturday and Sunday, almost as damp as it was fell, and 1t was the wettest rain that has been seen in this region since the other very wet rain. Once more the streets have been thoroughly washed and sprinkled, or flooded, and if there were any more typhoid fever germs ly- ing around where they shouldn't be they got washed away from their orig inal careless location. Let us hope that one lesson such as this region has had was enough, and that people have been careful since.
 We are having "the early rains" on time, and the thirsty earth has had a chance to get over it's thirst. Things will grow well when they get started, unless they are going to be drowned, which is not probable. The dry spell was very dry one, and the wet spell Is a very wet one. Let us be thankful that tfu new crop year starts in prom isingly, and that the Rubber trust is finding encouragement Unto each life some rain must fall" said the poet, and though he didn't speak of ten inch es in month or so ten inches is cer- tainly some.

There Is going to be a mass meeting at Republican Hall this evening to con sider the Derby trolley matter, and l it will be a real mass meeting. The hall will probably be packed, but the
 assembly itself will not be what is call l ed 'spacked" It will be a most spon- taneous and hearty gathering, brought together by genuine interest and de- sire to do all that can be done to fur ther a plan that has in 1t benefit for O0,0O0 or more people.
 There will be some able and stirring speeches at the meeting tonight, and
 they will increase the desire to see the
 proposed extension made. But no more
 argument is needed to show that 1t
 ought to be made. The case is per
 fectly plain one. The extension would
 only be adding much needed trolley
 line to the appreciated system
 that already exists. The new line would
 mean more freedom, more convenience,
 more pleasure and more profit to many
 thousands What has already been done around New Haven makes 1t plain
 that this region will not be adequately equipped until there are trolley lines wherever they are needed. And if any body can give a sound reason why such lines should not be built when peo- pie are ready to build them we should like to hear 1t. None has been given, and none will be-

PAYING THE FIDDLER IN JAPAN

| It's an i'll wind that blows no good,
 and it's a good wind that blows no ill.
 Japan got large war indemnity from | China, and felt much cheered by It, but our consul at Yokohama reports 1 that the Chinese indemnity secured at the close of the Japan-China war, to- gether with large national loans, led to the exploiting of many public and pri- vate undertakings, which caused money to be unusually plentiful among the coolies or laboring class. This induced extravagant methods of living and is assigned as potent factor in the large increase of imports. The amount Of in- demnity paid by China proved insufii- cient for the enterprises projected, and many millions were diverted from the customary channels of trade to carry forward these undertakings. A period of hard times has ensued Banks are not lending money on personal credit. Many failures are threatened and a panic Is feared.
