ey than the income of the state and
the funds on hand will justify So

payment of something over seven
million dollars.
Farmers Week At The Capital.
The farmers had their innings this
week there being no less than four
exhibitions of purely agricultural
nature to instruct and enlighten
them. Perhaps the most interest
ing feature of the lot was the ex-
hibit of apples, which was exceed
ingly creditable and a surprise to
many people. The time at which
this was held prevented some sec
tions of the state from joining, but
the southern tier showed what could
be done in growing fruit of a most
attractive appearance. To Adams
county was given the blue ribbon
with Perry county second. One use
full purpose served by these shows
was the stirring up of enthusiasm at
a time when the Legislature could
take notice, and it is more than like
| ly that a law will be passed at this
session providing for the establish
ment of a State fair, to be held an
nually at Harrisburg. The project
is under way.
Wright Is Right!
State Treasurer Wright issued an
order this week that is bound to
cause some stir in the state. 1t is
to the effect that from and after the
first of February, all payments made
fn hn Tt.no ttr.Ny m Af
fines, penalties, etc, must be by cer-
titled check, bank draft, money or
der or cash. The reason for this
order is found in the fact that GER
tain checks received by the State
Treasurer and by him placed in the
general fund, have been returned
by the banks on which they were
drawn, marked mo funds" or pro-
tested This is not only annoying,
but interferes with the correct book
keeping, for the general fund is
ahead of the cash account by these
amounts. To correct this the order
has been made. For a few months
the postage bill at the Treasury will
be higher than usual and blessings
on his head will be less numerous
than curses. The many will suffer
Governor Wilson Victorious.
Senator Smith of New Jersey
seems to have come out second best
in his fight with Governor Wilson
over the Senatorial toga. 1t would
not be a surprise if the next Demo-
Garlic Presidential ticket were to
read: For President, Judson Har-
mon of Ohio; for Vice President,
Woodrow Wilson of New Jersey, and
wouldn't Ohio be a battle-ground
royal? Unless Republicans get to-
! gether, stand-patters, conservatives
and progressives, forgetting minor
differences, and face the common
foe, they will lose out in the next
Presidential campaign. Governors
Harmon and Wilson are clean, strong
and popular as the last eection
showed.
Honi Soft Qui Nal Y Pense.
The Barnard statues are slowly
getting into place, but at the rate
they have been moved so far, it will
be April before they are in place. By
common consent the central figure
in the group has been named Adam
and Eve, his helpmate, has taken
her place by his side during the past
week. The artist is now abroad
but is expected to return when the
groups are ready to turn over to the
state.
Judge Searle's Impartial Charge.
Judge Searle's charge to the jury
in the Lord case impresses one as
being an absolutely fair and i'm
partial presentation of the whole
matter, and forms one more proof OF
the fact that Governor Stuart made
no mistake when he appointed him
as President Judge for Wayne coun.
