Beworratic Watcha, BY P. GRAY MEEK. Ink Slings. —The Celombian insurrection did some insurrecting when it finally did get to the surface. —A blind man could see what Prince HENRY is going to Milwaukee for. We all know what it was that made that city famous. —If the British are afraid that Prince HEN- RY will scoop up all the American friend- ship why don’t they send over a counter at- traction. —CARRIE NATION bas lost a toe, but as she has done most of her kicking with her hands ber mission in life is not thereby seriously impaired. —Lady RANDOLPH CHURCHILL who took the young Lord GEORGIE CORNWALLIS WEST to raise seems to be growing very weary with her Kindergarten experience. —There wasn’t much doing at the tepublican primaries last evening, but it is a long lane that leads to Feb. 18th and there is likely to be quite a turn in it too. —Judging from the distingnished array of political luminosities who have promis- ed to be there Miss JUSTICE will be fairly dazzled by the light in the Clearfield court next month. —In 1860 it cost every woman and child in the country just $1.52 a year to keep up the expenses of government. The per capita assessment now in taxes is $12. How would you like to be the ice man in 1940, if this rate of increase continues. —Uncle SAM is going to blow in forty thousand dollars on Prince HENRY, who is to be our guest for two weeks. Nearly three thousand a day isn’t much to “burn’’ on such a distinguished guest when it is considered that we are getting away with nearly half-a-million a day in the Philip- pines. —Uncle Tom’s Cabin is having a news- paper revival because some southern cities have declined to be entertained by the por- trayal of the character of ‘‘Legree,’’ the brutal slave driver. In some instances northern papers are clutching at it as an opportunity to drag the old ‘‘bloody shirt’ into politics again. —The fellows who paid $2, $3 and $5 for seats to see the SHARKEY-MAHER fake in Philadelphia on Friday night deserved the fleecing they got. Not one of them would have given half the amount to a penniless preacher or a starving child and any sort of humbuggery is legitimate when it comes to dealing with such classes. —The Philadelphia Inquirer, informally launching ELKIN’S boom for Governor, hits the nail right on the head when it says, in big letters : ‘‘such a candidate is match- less.” For hunt high or low in Penusyl- vania we don’t believe another one could be found who would match Joux P. in any of the unworthy qualifications that recommend him to the Inquirer and its gang. —Admiral ScHLEY will be in Chicago to-morrow as the guest of the Hamilton club and the illustiious sailor says he will shoot anyone who mentions Santiago to him. Of course this is only one of the Ad- miral’s pleasantries, but should he do some post prandial shooting it is likely to go as straight to the mark as did the shots of the Brooklyn in the fight that has made} him the nation’s hero. —Little KERMIT ROOSEVELT has been playing havoc with the fish in the White House aquarium and a few days ago the youngster was found with several shell fish and, with some youthful friends, was just preparing to scoop the gold fish out of their tank when the custodian caught him. Now, no one would object much if KER- MIT would take his crowd down to the Navy Department and catch the lobster that bas been floating around there for a few years. —The Turkish brigands who abducted Miss ELLEN M. STONE have come down the mountain and decided to accept the amount of the subscription raised for her ransom. Very generous of them, isn’t it? They are right in the class with those French Panama canal promoters who so suddenly dropped to forty million for all their right title and interest when they discovered that Uncle SAM might dig another canal over the Nicaragua route. —The American Indian and the New York dairymen are just now the victims of a crusade against long hair and long whisk- ers. Popularsentiment is back of ascientist propaganda that such extravagant hirsute appendages harbor millions of vermin and disease germs. But why beso hard on these mortals who can grow something on their heads and chins when a fine-tooth comb and a little of this new germicide would do the business. —If Philadelphians would waken up to a sense of their duty and stop the plander- ing of their own treasury they would not now have to be down on their knees to Uncle SAM, begging for $600,000 for the completion of a thirty foot channel in the Delaware. Of course trade in Philadelphia would be stimulated by such an improve- ment of her water way, but why doesn’t Philadelphia do it for herself. She per- mits more than that amount of money to be stolen from her treasury every year by the gang of jobbers that runs things down there. STATE RIGHTS AND FEDERAL UNION. YOL 17. The friends of the steamship subsidy bill are beginning to dispair of the passage of that atrocious measure for the reason that some American ship owners have been ex- tending their operations by buying up British and other foreign ships. It will be impossible, they say to deceive the peo- ple with the fraudulent pretense that vast sums of American money go abroad every year and remain there, for the payment of trans-oceanic carrying charges, if it leaks out that most of the ships operated under foreign flags are really owned by American capitalists and then a considerable part of the money charged for freight on such ves- sels never goes abroad at all but is dis- tributed among the American shareholders from the American offices of the com- panies. The Americans who own these foreign ships are quite as reluctant as anyone else to see the chance of the immense loot which the ship subsidy bill provides for, slipping out of reach of their fingers. But much as they like to collect unearned bounties from the government and fondly as they cherish the hope that sooner or later they will get a grab at that $270,000,000, they are too keen in the pursuit of present profits to wait indefinitely for that which is expected but not altogether certain in the future. In other words the scarcity of ocean going steam ships and the rapidly increasing use for them makes them a most lucrative property and the MORGANS, the ROCKA- FELLERS and the GRISCOMS are huying them up as rapidly as they are offered for sale. There never was an ounce of sense in the claim that the government ought to pay an enormous unearned hounty to home built ships for the reason that the money paid for ocean freights went abroad and remain- ed there as a balance of trade against this country. It would be quite as reasonable to say that we ought to grow bananas and other tropical fruits by artificial processes for the reason that otherwise the money paid for tropical fruits becomes a part of a balance of trade against this country. Even if the money does go there and remains it costs us less than it would to grow the fruits at home. The right place to buy is in the cheapest market and the best place to sell is the dearest and the right place to get ships is w here the best can be obtained at the least cost and that policy followed will not only multiply the number of ships in service but it will save money to the shippers and consumers on both sides of the water. Quay for Elkin and Loot. There are so many stories of the relations between Senator QUAY and Attorney Gen- eral ELKIN with respect to the Republican nomination for Governor, and they aie so widely divergent in purpose and effect, that the greatest perplexity is created. For example on Sunday an interview with Con- gressman ACHESON, of Washington county, was in effect that ELKIN is simply a stalk- ing horse for QUAY to keep objectionable people out of the gubernatorial race and that when the time comes to act Quay will simply cast ELKIN aside and take up his own choice. - A day later Insurance Commissioner DURHAM contradicted that story in substance hy declaring emphatical- ly that ELKIN will be nominated and elected. Manifestly DURHAM is right in so far as the nomination is concerned. Quay isa timid man when left to himself and he may have entertained apprehensions of the defeat of ELKIN. But in the light of careful con- sideration of the facts, he must also know that all machine men look alike to the average citizen and if ELKIN can’t be elect- ed no other machine man can. The term is more than promising of loot, moreover, and the machine needs the loot, so that the game is worth the candle and it is safer, all things considered, to take him than some- one else who might not be willing to divide at all. A Republicau who won't loot or baving looted won’t divide is worse than no Republican to the machine. Besides, as we have already stated, ballot box stuffing is still available in both Pitts- burg and Philadelphia and in the two cities more than 100,000 fraudulent votes can be polled. Under the circumstances Senator QUAY justly reasons it is better to take chances with ELKIN than to depend upon a less obliging man who might be easier to elect but not so useful after elected. If ballot reform legislation had been adopted during the last session things would be different. In that event there would be no possible chance of electing ELKIN and ‘it would be a waste of money and energy to try to do so. But as it is the fraudulent vote will more than compensate for any loss and ELKIN is comparatively safe, ——Dr. F. P. Barker, a veterinarian of Ingleby, was returning from Smith’s old saw mill in Lick hollow, on Saturday, when a large catamount sprang out of the brash not ten feet away from him and crouched on the road. He had no weapon but and old horse syringe that he prompt- ly loaded with pills and killed the critter in short order. This is the doctor's version of it. BELLEFONTE, PA., JAN UARY | They Are Not Looking for a Law| to Enforce it. In a recent issue of the WATCHMAN at- tention was called to the defiant manner in which several prominent rail-way officials admitted before the Inter-State Commerce Commission, in session in Chicago, that ‘‘frequently conditions required secret cut of rates to some large shippers and invariably, under such circumstances, they did it.” As this was an admission of violation of the law the only excuse the Commission had to offer for its failure to proceed against the guilty ones was that no statutes could be found that would be operative. Following up an answer to this excuse the Philadelphia Record points the way thus clearly though itis by no means vrobable that anything will be done to bring the great corporations to a realiza- tion of the fact that tliey don’t own the gov- ernment wholly enouzh to defy its laws with impugnity : ‘‘In seeking authority to prevent; rate- cutting and discrimination by common carriers the Commission can find nothing more satisfactory than the measure known as the Cullom bill, which was adversely re- ported to the Senate during the first ses- sion of the Fifty-sixth Congress, and after- ward placed on the calendar.” Active rail- way managers, on the other hand, seem to incline to the belief that pooling ' arrange- ments, under proper supervision,constitute the only solution of the problem. Between these two proposed remedies there is a great gulf fixed. The Cullom bill present- ed as salient features a long and short haul clause, provision for rate-posting, and au- thority vested in the Commission to estab- lish national freight classification, and to fix maximum, minimum or differential charges. A general pooling arrangement would do this, except that the final author- ity would remain with the transportation lines instead of being vested in a govern- ment Commission. The crucial point of controversy, ac- cordingly, is whether railway rates shall be fixed by [associated railway companies with benevolent intent to do justice to all interests, or whether a government agency shall perform this task in behalf of the public. It is quite clear to the members of the Interstate Commerce Commission that the latter comise must be pursued soover or later. So long and so eloquent- ly have the Commissioners argued in favor of government regulation that they can see no way of escape from their logical conclu- sions. In the official view the agreement and the pool will be ahsorbed and lost sight of when the vast work of combination and consolidation shall have been finally per- fected. But the rate, the haul, the classi- fication will endure; and over these the Commission asks for full jurisdiction. It such power should be granted, as proposed under the terms of the bill pre- pared hy the late National Railway Com- missioner’s convention, the progress of schemes of consolidation would scarcely challenge public attention, since the ulti- mate weight and incidence of freight rate charges would be determined not by a conclave of railway managers, but by an independent body of experts representing the people. Rates are now controlled by railway managers, acting from multifarious considerations, and intluenced by many motives. Even handed justice to all in- terests may not be attained; but the rail- way men do their best, and as they wield more power are quite willing to use it for the public beuefit. It is the popular as- surance of this sentiment of justice and good will that renders so difficult of reali- zation the Commission’s iridescent dream of a consolidated railway system, for which a government agency should fix maximum, minimum and differential rates. From the viewpoint of practical rail- roaders the evil most earnestly to be com- batted is not related to maximums and minimums, but rather to secret rates and arrangements, under which favored inter- ests flourish like green bay trees. The level of charges is not so important as the requirement that all shall pay the same rate for the same service. How this can be brought about by any of the existing meth- ods of treatment or by further grants of power to the Interstate Commerce Com- mission does wot clearly appear. The power to fix rates carries with it the power of secret discrimination, preference and favoritism. In order to abolish these it would doubtless be necessary to depart widely from the conventional practice in imposing charges and to employ an auto- matic system under which rates might be figured out by shippers as easily as the amount of postage necessary to carry a let- ter is ascertained. Here, again, it would become essential to rely upon the wisdom of practical railway experts in fixing bases and zones of charges, so that in any event, short of exercise of absolute ownership, the administrative authority would be con- strained to look to the common carriers to fix rates for common carrying. ——— ——Subscribe for the WATCIIrAN. Not a Vital Loss. Nobody who knows Senator DAVID MAR- TIN of Philadelphia, will be greatly sur- prised to learn that be has practically abandoned reform politics and gone back to the practices of the machine, if not actual- ly into fellowship with the bosses. In the curious political conditions which develop- ed during aud after the election of last fall, Senator MARTIN in a measure at least got control of the organization of the Union party. But instead of using the organiza- tion to promote political reform in the fu- ture, he appropriated it as a political asset and began negotiations with the machine. The result of these incidents is that the Union party has been sold out to the Quay machine and become a laughing stock. It is gratifying to learn, however, that in buying the Union party organization from Mr. MARTIN, the QUAY machine has procured only a gold brick. That is to say the vast majority of the Union party have repudiated the bargain between Senator MARTIN and the QUAY machine managers and joined with the municipal league in a campaign against the bosses. Of course a few of the adherents of the Union party have been lost in the shuffle, so to speak and will cling to the skirts of MARTIN. But the loss of such will be more than com- pensated for in gains which will come from the stalwart ranks among men who refused until this corrupt bargain was exposed to believe that such things were possible. The reform movement has not been re- tarded much by this unexpected iucident. According to the newspapers of that city those who believe in better government are joining together just as before. The new force is not called the Union party as it was last fall, but all the Democrats led by Magistrate DONNELLY and Governor PAT- TISON have joined hands with the Municipal Leaguers directed by Mr. WooDRUFF and the two forces comprise a stronger con- tingent than was ever summoned to fight the QUAY machine before. The loss of Senator MARTIN from the reform force may have caused a temporary disappointment in some quarters but it is not a vital loss. Senator MARTIN will be the greatest suf- ferer. Agitate for Reform, he ean a ali —t The press of the State is not giving the attention to legislation for the enforcement of the constitutional amendments "adopted last fall that the subject deserves. It prob- ably won’t require much time before or af- ter the meeting of the Legislature to pre- pare such hills as will serve the purpose. But it will require a good deal of time and considerable earnest agitation to work the public mind up to that state of anxiety with respect to the matter as will compel the Legislature to take cognizance of the popular demand for ballot reform legisla- tion. This work ought to ve in progress now. The constitutional amendments are ab- solutely of no use at present except in so far as they permit the legislation that will give them force and effect. Previously to the adoption of the amendments the Leg- islature was prohibited from enacting a registry law that was not uniform. In oth- er words, in order to give the people of Philadelphia, where it is needed, a personal registration law it was necessary to give the people of Centre county, who have no use for such a thing, the same law. The re- cently adopted amendment permits the discrimination, but nnless the Legislature | takes advantage of the power conferred it might as well never have been confirmed. Before long in various portions of the State candidates for the Legislature will be presenting themselves and soliciting the support of voters. Before that time arrives’ the voters ought to resolve among them- selves that no man can get much support until he pledges himself to support a bill providing for personal registration in Phil- adelphia and Pittsburg. When such legis- lation is enacted the crime of ballot box stuffing will soon become a lost art. But it will never be enacted if the politicians are left to their own impulses. They don’t want ballot reform and will only consent to it when public sentiment gets them cor- nered. ! Not the Golden Rule. The American officials in the Philip- pines, military and civil, must imagine that the people at liome are of short mem- ory. For example a little more than three years ago the people of this country were outraged beyond endurance because a Span- ish officer of the name of WEYLER had intro- duced in Cuba certain atrocions methods of forcing insurgents against the government to yield obedience to an alien sovereignty. We all denounced WEYLER as a butcher and pressed the matter so vehemently that finally the government was compelled to intercede in hehalf of the sufferers and de- clare war against the government of which WEYLER was the agent. Now, according to the official reports of operations in the Philippines. our own agents there are introducing the same cruel methods which provoked oar resentment gt 10% then. ‘‘General J. FRANKLIN BELL, mili- tary commander in that province,’’ accord ing to a dispatch detailing conditions in Batangas, just south of Manila, “has determined on the enforcement of the war in the most vigorous and determined fashion, involving reconcentration.” In other words the methods which were so cruel when practiced hy agents of the government of Spain on the unfor- tunate victims of the rapacity of war in Cuba are to be invoked to coerce our own unwilling subjects into obedience to alien rulers. Not long ago the premier of the govern- ment, if that term may be used in referring to the head of the cabinet in the American Republic, declared that the diplomatic pol- icy of this country would be laid on the lines of the Golden Rule. Now those lines are not being followed in our relations with the Filipinos when we are doing to them what we chastised Spain for doing with a kindred race in another section of the world, only a little more than three years ago. A crime is as odious when per- formed by one as if it were perpetrated by another, and if the concentration camps’ were brutal in Cuba they must he equally abhorrent in the Philippines. It's Morgan’s. From the Pittsburg Dispatch. 1 came to a mill by the river side, A half mile long and nearly ag wide, With a forest of stacks and an army of men, Toiling at furnace and shovel and pen. “What a most magnificent plant” I eried, And aman with a smudge on his face replied, “It’s Morgan's." I entered a train and rode all day On a regal coach and a right of way Which reached its arms all over the land ‘A splendid property this!" I cried. And the man with a plate on his hat replied, “It’s Morgan's.” I sailed on a great ship, trim and true, From pennant to keel and cabin to cre, And the ship was one of a monster fleet; A first-class navy could scarce compete, “What a beautiful craft she is!" I cried, And a man with akimbo legs replied, “It’s Morgan's.” I dwelt in a nation filled with pride, Her people were many, her lands were wide; Her record in war and science and art, Proved greatness of muscle and mind ‘and heart “What a grand old countryit is 1” 1 eried, And-qoman with his chest in the airrepied, “It's Morgan’s.”’ A I went to heaven. The jasper walls Towered high and wide, and the golden halls Shone bright beyond. But a strange new mark Was over the gate viz., “Private Park." “Why, what is the meaning of this?’ I cried, And a saint with a livery on replied, “It's Morgan's.” I went to the only place left. “I'll take A chance on the boat on the brimstone lake, Or, perhaps, I may be allowed to sit On the griddled floor of the bottomless pit.” But a leering lout with horns on his face Cried out, as he forked me off the place, “It’s Morgan's,” ——————— Prince’s Itinerary Arranged. The Kaiser and His Brother Approve of the Pro- gram Cabled by Ambassador von Hollenben. BERLIN, Jan 20.—Admiral Prince Hen- ry, of Prussia, while in the United States will visit Chicago, Milwaukee, Niagara Fails and Boston. These points are em- braced in the itineary which has been ca- bled bere by Dr. von Hollenben, the Ger- man Ambassador at Washington. This program was submitted to Emperor William and Prince Henry to-day and has been approved by them. Its general out- line is as follows : ‘ February 22—The arrival of the Prince and his suite at New York. February 23—The official welcome by the representatives of President Roosevelt, the Governor of the State of New York and the Mayor of New York city. February 24—The launching of the yacht at Shooters Island and a dinner to be giv- en by Prince Henry. February 25—A reception in honor of Prince Henry, a dinner to be given by the Mayor of New York and, if consistent with these functions, a reception by the Press Club. February 26—The Prince and his party will proceed to Washington, where the Prince will reside at the German Embas- sy. He will exchange calls with President Roosevelt and he entertained at dinner at the White House. : February 27—Official receptions aud visits and a dinner ai the German Embas- sy. February 28-—The Prince and his party will start for Chicago. The apportionment of the Prince’s time between Chicago, Milwaukee, Niagara Falls and Boston has not yet heen precise- ly made. In fact, although the foregoing is the official plan as it stands to-day, any part of it may subsequently be modified. Cablegrams on the sbbject of the program are still being exchanged. The suggestions contained in press dis- patches from the United States that Prince Henry would go to Washington twice ap- pear to be mistakes. It is thought that possibly President Roosevelt may find it convenient to accompany his daughter to the launching. In that case he would nat- urally attend the dinners given at New York city by Prince Henry and Mayor Low, respectively, after which the Presi- dent and the Prince would journey to Washington together. Later Prince Henry will spend two or three days in New York. : Prince and Princess Henry called upon Andrew D. White. the American Am- bassador here, with whom they had tea. They remained abous half an hour. ——Subseribe for the WATCHMAN. Spawls from the Keystone. —The Williamsport Board:of’ rade in an hour's time, at a recent meeting, subscribed $140,000 to insure the location in that city of the John N. Stearns & Co. Dye Works, an_ establishment employing 250 men, —PFrederick Andree, of Stockholm, Swe- den, a cousin of Andree. who perished in a balloon voyage toward the North pole, has been made chief engineer of Thompson Brothers’ knitting mills at Lewistown. —The barn on the VanTassel farm, near DuBois, was burned early Monday morning. One thousand bushels of grain, over a hun- dred tons of hay and a hundred tons of silo were consumed. The loss is fully 5.000 and is only partly covered by insurance. —T. D. Collins, one of the lumber kings of Forest county, sold on Saturday a half inter- est in his timber lands to Watson & Buzzard, of Brockwayville, for a sum approaching $5,- 000,000. The amount of lumber available from the lands is estimated at 500,000,000 ft. —*“This is the first square meal that I have sat down to for a long time,” said Amariah Thompson as he was eating dinner at a hotel at Williamsport Thursday. A moment later he became ill and in a short time was dead. Thompson, who was 65. years of age had been living alone. —Col. Alexander K. McClure, late of the Philadelphia Times, has accepted an invita- tion from the Allegheny bar association to at- tend the Lincoln birthday banquet at Pitts- burg on February 12th. Col. MeClure will deliver an address onthe life and work of President Lineoln. —A freight wreck occurred at Portage Sunday morning, in which Brakeman John McFadden, of Mahaffey, Clearfield eounty, was instantly killed and Fireman Harry Me- Clain, of Conemaugh, was badly hurt. Two engines, two eabins and one freight ear were wrecked. —A smallpox ease has heen reported in Laurelton, a small village fifteen miles west of Lewisburg. Fhe vietim is Miss Ida Voneida. She was a clerk in Gimbel’s store, Philadelphia and came home a week ago. | Several acquaintanees were in to see her be- fore they learned the nature of her disease. —A list of the freight and passenger con- ductors of the Beeeh Creek distriet relating to length of time each has béen in the com- vany’s employ has been posted at the chief trainmaster’s office. T. A. Mullin is the old- est conductor in the service, he having been employed on the road since 1884. The total number of conductors is seventy-nine. —William Lewis, flagman on T. & C. loeal freight train, met with a painful accident at Osceola last Friday. He was standing on the rear platform of his cabin when a coupling was made and. from the jar he fell to the track, sustaining severe bruises and baving both his wrists sprained. He will be confin- ed to his heme for some time before he will be able to resume work. —Something not often seen was witnessed at Blairsville Monday at the funeral of the late Thomas Brown, Sr., of Cokeville, The pallbearers were seven stalwart sons of the deceased. When it is remembered that Mr. Brown was but fifty-three years of age, it is quite remarkable that he should have so many sous old and sturdy enough to act in 1 that eapacity. —Religious enthusiasm is ranning high at Jersey Shore, and as a result unique ocenr- rences, without precedent in the history of the locality, is being enacted. Owing to the interest taken in revival services being held in four of the churches, the Presbyterian, First Methodist, Baptist and Lutheran, every place of business, including saloons and hotel barrooms are closed each evening during the hours the meetings are in progress. —It is unofficially announced that the Pennsylvania company is about to discard the Pintsch gas and carburetter system of lights in all coaches and adopt electricity. Such changes eannot be made all at once, and it is doubtful if any attempt will he made to introduce such a radical revolution in light- ing appliances immediately. Electricity has been in use on the limited trains of this sys- tem for years, but has too many disadvan- tages to recommend it for local coaches, which must be shifted about and used on local trains running in various directions. —The safety valve of the engine at E. F. Hall’s saw mill, at Hall’s Run, got out of or- der a few days ago, and the governor belt broke, causing the engine to run the machin- ery so rapidly that a metal pulley flew into pieces. The flying pieces of pulley cut the rafters, causing the roof to fall. A circular saw was reduced to atoms. Finally theen- gine was torn from its foundation and started furiously about the mill, smashing every- thing in its path,until the steam chest broke. The employes miraculously escaped, Mr. Hall jumped fifteen feet, breaking his right ankle. —Judge Yerkes, in Bueks county, has giv- en an opinion concerning the fees of town- ship supervisors, which ought to have wide interest. The judge held that the supervisor is entitled to no commissions other than those on cash payments of tax. He is not entitled to commissions on tax worked out. Neither is he entitled to. commissions on license or on taxes remitted. It is estimated that the effeet of this will be to reduce the fees of supervisors by one half or two thirds. It has ' been discovered in a good many places that ‘the old system of working out the road tax is not a good one, and does not produce good roads, but it is so convenient that it is still kept up nearly everywhere. ~A gpecial dispatch from Washington says: An interesting document was filed with a bill granting a pension of $30 a month to Mrs. Mary E. S. Hays, of Hollidaysburg, Pa., in- troduced by Representative Evans. It is an autograph letter written by Gov. Curtin to. President Lincoln, and endorsed by the lat- terin his terse and characteristic fashion. The war governor of the Keystone Common- wealth wrote a long letter to the President protesting against the dismissal of the hus- band of the beneficiary named in the bill, and asked Mr. Lincoln to re-instate him. The President wrote: “In view of all circum- stances, if the Governor of Pennsylvania thinks fit to reappoint Surgeon Hays, he may be mustered into the service of the United States,” and then signed the familiar *‘A. Lincoln.” Dr. Hays was re-instated and made an excellent record as a surgeon of the 110 Pennsylvania volunteers. But nothwith- standing that, Mrs. Hays connot get a_pen- sion because her husband was once dismissed. His re-instatement did wot cure his record, hence the necessity for the bill. a —————————————————
