Reform Talk that is Rubbish.

We have the assurance of Speak
er McClain, of the House of Repre-
sentatives at Harrisburg, that the
campaign pledges made in the Re-
publican platform, and by the Re-
publican candidate for governor on
tie stump, last fall, are to be full.
filed. This is encouraging SO far
as it goes. The pledges embraced
all sorts Of reforms and were de-
clared with such emphasis that
keeping them must work the best
possible results to the people. Two
cent mile passenger rates, trolley
freights, more liberal appropria-
tions to schools, greater generosity
in road building, the enforcement
Of the constitution, better election
laws and economy in administra-
ton were all promised in the plat
form or by the candidate.
Thus far nothing has been done
toward the maintenance of faith
with the people and in the face of
the record Speaker McClain's talk
is of little consequence. There wa S
two-cent mile rate bill passed
in the House previous to the spring
election recess but it was so palpa
bly, fraud that railroad magnates
derisively laughed il through its
final reading. Speaker McClain
could have corrected its faults. A
word from him would have given
it adequacy. But he didn't speak
the word. On the contrary he con
tributed his influence to the farce
of passing it and joined in the ridi-
cule of its inefflciency. 1t was a
good enough Morgan" until after
the February election and he was
satisfied.
In so far as the Republican plat
form and candidate promised in.
creased appropriations, we have nc
doubt the pledges will be kept
The school appropriation will be
increased from two to four millions,
the road fund will be enlarged an6
the appropriation to the health de-
pa'tment will be augmented fol
there are opportunities for graft In
the expenditure of money and there
is politics in the manipulation O
these departments. But there will
be no adequate legislation to en-
force the constitution. no effectiv,
legislation regulating railroad rate.
or trolley treights and no election
reforms Nobody knows thes,
things better than Speaker McClair
either, and his talk on the subjec
is rubbish. -Belle1one Watchman

The Democratic Chance.

Mayor Mcclellan, OF New York,
expressed the sentiments of a great
part Of the American people when
he said in his Princeton speech:
We seldom stop to consider that
the policy of mastery inactivity
may sometime serve the State far
better than one of misdirected
action. Nothing would be better
for the puLlic health than reaction
from the present condition of over
wrought governmental activity,
and a period of quiet and of calm
in which questions that really need
solution could be solved"
The President has informed Con.
:" IS that in the judgment of him
t, as we'll as OF the Interstate
,mmerce Commission, the trans
/. .lrtation business cannot be carried
Ga without violation Of laws. That
fact alone ought to shake the couu.
try's belief that the Congress which
enacts the greatest number Of laws
is the most useful one. Mayor Nc.
Clellan is right in saying that both
parties are suffering from this itch
for legislation; it is very contagious.
The country needs a Democratic
party that will be true to its en-
servative history and traditions,
and the party needs a leader who
will call it back to its old standards,
those under which it has rarely
been defeated. The Democratic
party is suffering from the fact that
it has been in the opposition until
nearly all elements Of opposition,
not only to the Republican party,
but to American traditions aud to
all sound governmental policies,
have joined it, and these discordant
elements have become great enough
to affect the course of the party.
No party infected with Populism or
Socialism will be trusted by the
American people.
The growing opposition to ex-
treme Protectionism, the revulsion
from extreme Capitalization, the
dislike of rapidly increasing expen.
|ditures on the army and navy,
create conditions extraordinarily
favorable to the prospects of the
Democratic party in the election
next year, but only the historic
Democratic party can win. Nc
Populist or Socialist aggregation
under the Democratic name can
carry the election. .-PHila. Record.

TEACHERS PENSION BILL DEAD.

With hardly a dissenting voice,
tie house of representatives last
week killed the teachers pension
bill. on second reading, and the
membershad lot of fun doing it.
Scarcely had the bill been read
when Representative Dupmore,
Republican, of Tioga, offered an
amendment that not only teachers.
but all persons attaining the age of
70 years, who had for twenty-five
years been good and faithful citizens
of the State, be made eligible for
the pension Of $50 per year which
the bill provides. The house &C.
cepted the amendment amid laugh.
ter and cheers.
Representative Marvin, Republi
can, OF Pike, contributed his share
to the entertainment by following
with an amendment that, instead
of teaching thirty years, as the bill
provided, teachers should serve
seventyhve years before being ELI
gible Tor pensions. With whoop
of merriment this amendment was
also adopted.
"A third amendment was propos-
ed by Representative Pratt, Repnb-
licau, OF Allegheny, providing that
female teachers should be retired
at the age of 60. As tn. house
was not playing any favorites this
was also tackled on the bill, and a.
once drew forth point of order
from Representative Blakslee,
Democrat, of Carbon.
Blakslee presented what he term
ed point of order, saying that the
bill was impossible Of fulfiIment as
amended, for it provided for retir-
ing women at the age OF 60, and
that no woman would admit that
she was 90.
Speaker McClain smiled broadly
and admitted that the point was
well taken, but nevertheless, decid-
ed to submit it to the house.
In mighty shout the members
sustained Blakslee, and the bill
fell
There was little time from the
measures inception when it was
not virtually certain it would fail.
Not only is there a general senti-
ment against civic pension lists
among large proportion of the
members, solely on the merits of
the question. but the constitution
is quoted as being against any pen
SONS except for military service.

of whom are old time politicians
with plenty of friends and foes.
The contest will be watched with

COchran's Bill Passed.

When the bill pensioning the
PENNSYLVANIA soldiers and sailors of
the Civil war from SIS to $40 a
month according to the lengthy of
service, vas taken up for third
reading, Mr.. Roberts, of Mont
gomery, moved that it be sent to
the appropriations committee. Hon.
J. Henry Cochran, of Williamsport,
the author of the bill, in opposing
the motion, said the Senate should
vote on the measure, and not send
it to the committee to be killed. He
explained that the bill was similar
to law now in force in Maine and
should be passed because it was a
meritorious one. The Roberts mo-
tion failed by vote of 20 to I3.
The bill then passed finally by a
vote of az to I, Mr.. Roberts voting
in the negative.

school houses are hit with mud
balls, leaving stains the size of the
ball, and the lot strewed promiscu-
