CURIOUS BITS
OF HISTORY
A SEVEN DAYS FISHERMAN
KING.
BY A. w. MACY.

In 1647, when the kingdom cf
Naples was under the grinding
- rule of Spain, a fisherman Of
Sorrento was stung to madness
by the indignities offered his
wife by Spanish officials, be-
cause she had attempted to
smuggIe few handfuIs Of flour.
So furious was he that he tore
down an edlct that had Just
been posted by the authorities.
The whole population, including
women and children, rallied
around him. Forty years Of
Spanish oppression had made
them frantic. They terrified the
viceroy, resisted the soldiers
successfully, and killed many Of
the Spanish residents. They Sc
cured revocation Of many OBJ
noxlous edicts, the abollshment
Of oppressive taxes, and full
pardon for all who engaged In
the insurrection. The fisherman,
whose name was Masanielo, was
the leader in all this, and be-
came the idol Of the people. He
ruled Naples for seven days, but
his success seems to have
turned his head. He became
dlctatorial and oppressive, and
was put TO death by the popu-
lace. Hence he Is called the
Seven Days King.

E. Little, has undergone extern
sive repairs. A new metal cell
ing of handsome design adorns
the old store room, and a Goth
ic window in the rear dispels all
darkness. Cement walks an d

new. The old buildings in the
rear will be torn away, and the

The annual cry from Kansas
and Oklahoma for harvest hands
has gone up; Kansas calls 40, 900,
andOklahoma for half that many.
Other western states are calling
for hands to gather the wheat.
The trouble is, it costs college
men and others who would be
glad to work during the summer,
as much to go there, and return,
as they would earn in the few
weeks of harvest. Seems to us
that this is a question that rail-
roads might solve.

Every appropriation bill Is used as an
instrument of either bribery or retail
iation, and the whole machinery of ap.
preparations Is made to serve the pur-
pose of cOrrupting and demoralizing
the citizenship of the commonwealth
The poison of political corruption has
entered even into the appropriations
for charities, and the endeayor Is per-
sisteutly made to use these appropria.
tions as reward for political service,
or to force the worthy citizens who
are managers of these charities into
subservience to any iniquitous politi-
cal machine. Legislative appropria.
tions should not exceed the estimated
revenues; they should be primarily
for public purposes; and where they
are used to aid worthy charities, the
claims of the charities should be hon.
estly and fairly determined by non.
political board or allowed under a
general law prescribing. the standard
c.ate aid.
Public Schools.
We pledge ourselves to an increased
appropriation for the public schools
OF the state.
We also favor just system of state
pensions to Pennsylvania soldiers Of
the Civil War.
Legislative Procedure.
Under the system of committee ap-
pointments as at present practiced
there have always been what are pop-
ularly known as graveyard" commit
tees, to which are referred measures
which the Republican machine does
not intend shall be passed, but which
II Is unwilling to take the responsible.
