POLITICAL.

Berry's plurality over Plummer in the
state was se. 230.
A Republican paper in Cincinnati re-
marks that the party does not want
boss to succeed Cox. Judging from the
size of the Cox dose, the suggestion
seems unnecessary.
All talk of contest for the office OF
Sheriff of Butler county has subsidized.
The decisions of our Supreme court as
to the marking of tickets are against
IL. and besides this the costs, which
might run up into the thousands, would
follow the verdict.
Among the visitors to Harrisburg last
week on legal business was Charles w.
Stone, of Warren, former State senator,
lieutenant governor, secretary OF the
Commonwealth and congressman. Mr..
Stone was not growing oyer the recent
defeat of the gangsters. 1t was the
Andrews gang that eliminated him
from politics in his congressional dis
trict. simply because he would not do
the bidding of the late Senator Quay
To humiliate him, Sibley, Democrat.
was put up and then every Quay
Andrews Republican in the district was
ordered to vote against him. AS re-
suit Stone was defeated, and retired
from politics. He says it is a good
thing for the party to get shaking up
once in while, as it takes some OF the
conceit out Of the men who think it
could not exist unless they are leading
1t.
The evidence of Senator Platt of N.
Y. before the insurance investigations
contained matter for public digestion.
The testimony that he had received
$4,000 per year as campaign contri-
buttons" involving an understanding
that this was to prevent legislation dis
agreeable to the big insurance man
ayers, is 80 entirely in accord with what
has gone before as to be almost COM
monplace. But the assertion that while
this commenced not less than ten years
ago, he cannot be certain exactly how
long, because ne has mo records, Is
worth considering as starting new
line Of thought If a record was kept
of the money spent for a certain
candidate in this county, this year, its
publication would make interesting
reading matter.
Announcement is made that the Quay
statue is to be erected, willy nilly.
It is not entirely impossible that
future years may bring into existence a
Legislature radically opposed to the
class of politics which such a monument
would commemorate. 1t is certainly
worth pondering whether the embar-
rassment of having such Legislature
order the removal Of the statue would
not be greater than to have it quietly
dropped now. One compromise, how
ever says the Dispatch, might be feas-
ible. If it were inscribed on the base
of the statue that the political system it
represents was overwhelmingly. con-
demned by the people at the first State
election after the death OF its subject
the political lesson might be held 30
valuable as to justify the erection OF the
statue.

Extra Session Notes.

At meeting of the Allegheny Co.
delegation to the present legislature. in
Pittsburg, last Saturday, resolution
was adopted asking the Governor to
amend his program for the extra session
SO as to include the enactment of laws
providing uniform primaries. a State
and municipal civil service based upon
the merit system and better system
Of making appropriations for charitable
institutions.
At last winters session our members
were threatened with the loss of the ap'
propriations for this county IL they did
not vote with the gang, and they were
taken down to breakfast at the River
ave. mansion, and afterwards plead
with to vote for the press-muzzler and
some other bills.
At the meeting of the American Fed
GRAFTON Of Labor in Pittsburg, las
Saturday, a resolution was adopted
calling on Governor Pennypacker Il
supplement his official convocation o.
the general assembly by demanding
legislation on labor matters, and partic
ularly in connection with the miner
and employers liability law.
Senator Penrose says he will "g'
along" with the Governor and Senate
Knox. He ought to resign. One wonder
why Quay chose such a man for hi
colleague. .@,t.+
A ripple of laughter was heard OF
Capitol Hill. Harrisburg, last week
when it was made public that the legis
lators from Chester county had decided
not to take any pay for their services
during the extra session Of the Legisla
ture. It was the unanimous opinion
that that sort of thing will not becom'
contagious, and that the legislator VIII
declines to take what is rightfully his i
making show Of virtue, and is no
fooling anybody.
