It is altogether likely that there are geed many federal offices in Fennsyl Tania new filled by Republicans who will be succeeded by Democrats under the incoming administration ; and that in the selection of fit men for them the appointing power will be guided by the lews and advice of men who have been .conspicuous in the party in this state. But they entertain a very mistaken view of Governer Cleveland and of the policy which is te guide his administration,who fancy that the offices of the government are te be dealt out and the party patron age te be bartered oil in the interest of factions or individuals, and without just regard for the public weal, for fair deal. Ing and party harmony. While there are no signs that any of the Pennsylva nh Democratic lenders who have been se represented or the many ethers fit for council and worthy of re spectare exercising themselves te get exclusive control of the federal patrocnge In this state, It is obvious that nothing mere damaging te any one ceuia Happen than te be suspected of such a desire, and nothing mere disas treus indeed te one's political fortunes could occur than te be invested with bhcu a delicate responsibility as te decide between the many applicants and disappoint the most of them. 1 The day of the party boss is ever. Men avoid rather than seek that distinction new-a days. It will net be the policy of a Democratic administration te rein. state that figure in our politics. There is no room for factions in the party in this state. It has held four successive slate conventions without a show of them, and the man or set of men who ieagitate dissensions will be crushed beneath the upper and the nether stones. Differences there are bound te be about men and measures, but these need net divide the party into two or three hostile camps, who are te be arrayed against each ether perpetually for the sake of a fight. There Is no need of any master band nor mastermind uterun the party," nor of any clique or combina tion te dictate its policy, name its candi dales and te make the appointments wmcii wm come te it under the new dispensation. The representatives or the party, officially chosen by the full, fair and free expression of the members of the party In their several districts, are sufficient for this. There will net be many federal appointments rer which the beBfc choice cannot be clearly indicated by the preponderance of party sentiment among these whom the administrative duties of the office in question most directly concern, and when that choice Is thus indicated we have no doubt it will be respected. When officers have been thus chosen they may be reaseuably expected te strengthen their party by giving their best efforts te their official duties nnd net by prostituting them te the interest or party factions, nor te the personal service of these te whom they may faucy they ewe their appointments. m Tax New Yerk Times has a great "beat" en all of Its esteemed contemporaries today in the pub lication, as a special dispatch by cable from its own Madrid corres pondent, of the full text of the new treaty concluded with Spain, which Minister Pester has brought with him te this country carefully guarded asnnex ecutive secret, but which has been made publie in Spain's capital. It is a very long step In the direction of free trade between the United States en ene side and Cuba and Perte Rica en the ether, tending te stimulate the imperta tien of their ores, tobaccos nnd tropical products and te open markets there for our manufactures. It is interesting te note that while Straiten & Storm, the great clgarmakers, have shut down their factory in anticipation of the treaty they expect eventually that it will nid American manufactures by giving them cheaper raw materials. The nendint? tariff struggle is mere likely te be nn issue Detween producers nnd manufac turers than between the manufacturers and the importers. Tue iron makers of Eastern Pennsvl. vania are said te have discovered that it is low priced freights and fuel mere than a high tariff that Is needed te protect their furnaces. They have been a long time coming te this knewledge ; it is te be hoped their pathway will be illumi nated by it.

Many families in the mountains have lest their oxen. As horses are scarce, they are pre vented from going the long distances te mills, and are living en parched corn, pounded te a coarse meal.

The facta of the sheeting were detailed in full in the Lntellieknckb nt the time. Briefly they are aa fellows : On that ovening MIm Bennen, with a com panion, Miss MeManus, was returning home from work, when she met young Cawley, who had en a number of occa sions annoyed her with his attentions and leve letters. She walked hurriedly te get away from him, but he overtook her In Centre Square and without any warning he pulled out a revolver and shot Miss Bensen. The ball struck her in the hip nnd for soveral days she was disabled. Yeung Cawley, the mement after he ahet the girl, ran away end was pursued by a crowd, who were attracted by the report of the pistol When he saw that he was about being captured, nnd when in front of Bursk's store, he drew a revolver from his pocket and shot himself. He was taken te the station heuae, and physielana who were summoned probed for the ball, but were unable te find it.
