The Irish House of Commons.

The Irish House of Commons sat
for the last time on June 10, 1900. 1t
was the duty of Lord Castlereagh to
move the third reading OF the union
bill, and he discharged the duty with
the utmost apparent equanimity.
Other members were not so COM
posed, and to conceal their emotion
hurriedly left the room. The speaker,
who hated the measure, rose to put
the fatal question. He held up the
bill for moment in silence, and
looked, according to a spectators ac-
count on the scene, steadily round on
the last agony of the expiring parla-
ment He at length repeated in an
emphatic tone, AS many as are of
opinion that this bill do pass say aye;
the contrary say no. The affirmative
was languid, but indisputable. An
other momentary pause ensued. Again
his lips seemed to decline their Office.
AT length, with an eye averted from
the object which he hated, he pro-
claimed with a subdued voice, The
ayes have it. The fatal sentence was
now pronounced-for an instant he
stood statue-like, then Indignantly
and with disgust, flung the bill upon
the table and sank in his chair with
an exhausted spirit.-London Chroni-
Gle.

bers. 1t is pity, however, that
it isn't intended for the purpose
first expressed. There is ample
room for such an Organization in
the present legislature and abund-
ant work for it to perform. But in
that event the servile tools Of the
machine among the country mem
bers would have to be excluded in
order to make it effective and there
are good many of that sort be-
tween the Delaware and the Ohio.
The investigation of "the Palace
of Graft makes little or no pro-
gress. There was great deal of
haste in rushing the enabling reso-
luton through the Legislature but
that was more on account OF the
fear of debate than because of an
xiety to expose crime. In fact
there was an attempt at railroad
ing" in the Senate but Senator
Hall interposed All objection and
the bosses have come to understand
that Senator Halls objection means
business. His purpose WAS simply
to give the minority all opportunity
to offer needed amendments and
discuss the subject freely and that
achieved he was content. That
was two weeks ago, however, and
thus far as practical work is con.
cerned, nothing has been done
since except the appointment Of
two very excellent lawyers to con-
duct the examination in the persons
of James A. Stranahan, of Harris
burg, and James Scarlet, Of
Danville. If it were problems of
law instead of questions of fact that
are to be solved Stranahan and
Scarlet would go to the bottom.

For Director of the Poor

The Republican party through
its regularly constituted authority
has placed Oliver T. Wilson Of
Bloomsbury in nomination as can
didate for Director OF the Poor for
Bloom district.
The policy of the RebH6Hcan
has always been to support the re-
gular candidates of the party. 1t
has not only done this on principle
but because there has never been
an instance in our recollection when
the candidate Of the party has not
been honestly nominated. In this
instance we all the more cheerfully
support the candidate because he
has been tried and has proven eff
,cient in this often perplexing and
trying Office.
When Mr.. Wilson assumed office,
three years ago the district had a
floating Indebtedness of $4,000. AS
prudent buiness man, he insisted
that this debt must be paid and to
accomplish this object the tax was
increased.
But now the district is out of
debt and handsome surplus is in
the treasury and Mr.. Wilson who
insisted on an increase three years
ago to meet an emergency, is just
as insistant now that the tax rate
shall be reduced.
There are other good candidates
in the field but the Republican IN
sists that there are none better than
0. 7. Wilson, who has proven his
claims to your support. He devotes
his time to the work of the district.
He comes before you, not as an un-
tried quantity nor as an expert.

Gently been favored by a high office
in the organization.
THE PINcHERs ARE THERE ALL
RIGHT.
The hope that pinchers would be
cut out has been disappointed how.
ever. They are not exactly in the
old form but they are there just the
same. For example the Senator
who distinguished himself by milk
ing insurance companies two years
ago has turned his attention to the
railroads and has a "beaut" in re-
ference to eminent domain in al
ready. There are Others, moreover.
Among them is bill ito tax lands
and personal property of railroads" )"
annual State tax on capital stock
Of corporations" and so on. The
creation of new offices is another
evil which it was hoped might be
ended. But they are flowing in in
undiminished volume. Keyser, of
Philadelphia. wants a bureau OF
elevator inspection and Roberts, OF
Montgomery, wants the number OF
employees of the State Highway de-
partment vastly increased. Tustin,
of Philadelphia, insists on a State
commerce commission. New courts
are wanted in Philadelphia, Pitts
burg and Delaware county and a
Representative purposes to provide
County Solicitors with stenograph-
ers at public expense.
We are drifting into a govern
ment by departments in this State
or what might be properly designat-
ed bureaucracy. In other words
the several departments of the gov
ernment are practically permitted
to control all all legislation on sub,
jects affiliated in any way with
their departments. "It's no use in
trying to get any legislation" l
heard an experienced Representa-
tive remark the other day, unless
the bureau of the government to
which the legislation relates is fav-
orable to it and it is equally impos-
sible to defeat any legislation which
any department wants enacted"
That is the most dangerous symp-
tom of recent times. Take the
Highway Department, for example.
Everybody knows that it is rotten
and yet it gets whatever it wants
and nothing that it doesn't want.
1t is not because the majority of the
Senators and Representatives are
venal that this is true. On the con-
trary it is safe guess that if the
question could be determined by a
vote of either House the Highway
Department would be "torn from
stem to stern" and reorganized on
a practical basis. But the COM
mittees Of the Legislature are or
ganized to serve the machine and
only legislation favored by the btu
reauS is reported from committee.
A FEW OF THE BAD ONES.
In this line there are a few bills
pending which ought to receive
more than passing notice. One
of these has reference to the killing
of game within the commonwealth
and another TO the taking Of fish.
Both OF these diversions interest
vast numbers of people. The OBJ
noxious feature of the pending bills
is clause requiring all hunters to
take out licenses for which a fee of
dollar is charged iu each case,
