The recent visit of Senators 0,uay
and Penrose, President McCarrell, of
the Senate, and Speaker Boyer, of the
House, to President-elect McKinley, at
his home in Canton, Ohio, has revived
the discussiou of the jossible selection
of a member of the new cabinet from
Pennsylvania. In this connection the
Philadelphia Times of Monday says
editorially:
It is known that the four prominent
Pennsylvania liepublican leaders who
vWted McKinley last weeek, united in
pressing the apiMintmeut of Oovernor
Hastings for a Cabinet position, pre
sumably that of Postmaster General.
That he would till the place with credit
to himself, to bis State and to the coun
try will not be doubted; but it is hard
ly to be exjected that any definite de
cision will be reached for some time by
the President on the subject, in view of
ttie many changes which have been,
and which may yet lie, made in fram
ing his Cabinet. Political necessities
may arise before the Cabinet list shall
Lie completed necessitating the omis
sion of Pennsylvania.
As there afe forty-five States and
only eight Cabinet positions to assign,
no one State cau make a demand uH.m
a President for a Cabinet otlicer, and
beyond the announcement of Mr. Sher
man as Secretary of State, we have
reason to believe that no selection has
K-en made for Cabinet honors. The
United States Senators from Pennsyl
vania, lieing in Nlitical accord with
the Slate administration ami the Leg
islature, and with probably nine-tenths
of the Republican Congressmen, will
certainly lie much respected in assum
ing to sjieak for the State. They may
not le able to obtain a Cabinet officer,
but it poes without saying that no Cab
inet otlicer will lie apjointed from
Pennsylvania who does not commaud
their approval. Ilevond this we take
it that nothing is known definitely
aliout Cabinet honors being awarded
to our State.
Cleveland and KcKinley.
"VVashixotox, January 11. President
Cleveland has shown an unusual court
esy to President-elect McKinley. Dur
ing the past few weeks the retiring Kxec
utive has forwarded to the man who is to
s-icceod him every state paper and every
Tieial document coni-ernitigthe business
of this administration which might be of
value to tlirt next. The treaty with
(Jreat ISritain was in Major McKinley's
hail. Is long before the newspapers got it.
and a great mass of stulT aliout Cuba
which has never reached the public has
been forwarded to Mr. McKinley with
Mr. Cleveland's compliments.
In fact, the two have been in corre
spondence ever since election day, and it
is proper to say that they are better
friends now than any other two men ever
have been uu.ler similar circu:ii-.tain-es.
Mr. Cleveland has had a good deal of
experience, Itoth as a retiring ami as ait
incoming President, aud he has been in a
position lately to give the Major a great
many oints. That he has not failed to
take advantage of his opportunity is evi
dence! by the fact that the President
elect is right now in p;sssion of more
state secrets than even Secretary Olney
will transmit to his sm-cessor when the
day of the great chantro conies.
The meeting between Mr. Cleveland
and Major McKinley on the 4ih of March
will be one of more than ordinary signifi
cance, because the developments of th
past few weeks have brought thein closer
together than the ordinary course of
events would in as many years.
A Finger Tar Er JT.
It l dun to the skillful mirgery ofPr.
Joseph P. Tunis, of Philadelphia that
Mrs. John Edwards, of Chester, ban a
nose like anybody else. The third finger
is missing from Mrs. Edwards' right
band, but it is now a part of her face, for
it was grafted there to form a new none
for her.
Mrs. Edwards was admitted to the
Methodist Episcopal hospital late In the
fall to be treated for a cancerous growth.
This ailment was carefully treated and
checked, but it had left an unsightly
blemish where the patient's nose had
been. M rs. Edwards grieved a great deal
over the facial disfigurement, and when
Ir. Tunis suggested a remedy ahe imme
diately agreed to undergo the operation
by means of which one of her fingers was
to le made to take the place of her nose.
The patient was etherized and the oper
ation was liegun. Dr. Tunis cut otfthe
end joiul of the third finger of ber right
hand, and disarticulated the remaining
two liones. The baud was held in posi
tion over Jifrs. Edwards face, and the
boneless flenh was laid over the damaged
nose aud stitched to the face, Bandages
of crinoline, spread with plaster of Paris
were wrapped about the patient's body,
holding the arm firmly In place. The
band and remaining fingers were padded
to prevent maceration of the face, and for
three weeks Mrs. Edwards remained in
that position. Her band almost entirely
covered ber face, and it was necessary to
feed ber by means of a tube inserted into
the left corner of her mouth. Occasional
ly the bandages were removed, but the
hand was never allowed to change Its
position.
The finger was finally firmly grafted
to the face. It was then treated with a
preparation of cocaine and was severed
from the band. Both wounds were dress
ed, and the patient was none the worse
for the operation. She was much better
off, as a matter of fact, for the new nose
was quite as good as the average person's.
The nasal passages, which had not been
affected by the cancerous ailment, bad
been packed with iodoform gauze, aud the
nostrils were thereby preserved. Mrs.
Edwards has left the hospital with a new
nose, hardly less perfect in form than her
original one.
Thoma C. Piatt dominated for United States
Senator.
Tlie Hon. Thomas C. Piatt has been
nominated for United States Senator
by the Republicans in the New York
Legislature, which is equivalent to an
election. There can be nothing but
kind words said for the statesman who
made such a gallant ficht at the St.
iouis convention wnen mere wasa dis
position among some of the trimmers
to straddle on silver so as not to offend
the Western advocates of free coinage.
It was Mr. Piatt, aided by Senators
OJay and Lodge, who made the con
test and wou, and he showed superior
statesmanship iu doing so. In 1SS1
when Mr. Piatt resigned from Congress
it was predicted that his political career
had closed, and that he would go down
like Iloseoe Conkling. Mr. Piatt has
not only pone up, but in his ascendan
cy he has kept a firm lold of the lie
publican reins, and by his persistent
work has swung New York in the Re
publican column for all time. The
new Senator has leen described as the
I "easy boss," and he has the faculty of
fliakingand boi ling friends who are
only too glad to aid him joiit!ca!Iy.
He will lie warmly welcomed in the
Sonata.
LmiTKXAXT Governor Lyon is pre

bill, to be presented to the Iislature,

supjiosc-d that Mr. Lyou has had occa
sion to go out between acts aud walk
up aud down the corridor to cool oft"
after sitting behind one of these mon
strosities ct the theater. Let the bill
pass if woman can not practice coni
m n sense and remove her hat in the
theater. The time for cheating a man
out of the price of admission by depri

gone by, and man will be emancipated.
Th e caucus of the liepublican mem

States Senator to succeed Senator Hill.
Tie Trip to be Inaugurated.
President-elect McKinley has made
his wants known relative to how ho
w ishes to go to Washington. His moth
er, wife, brother and nieces will accom
pany him. On account of the age of his
mother, Mr. McKinley has ma.le a spe
cial request of the Pennsylvania Com
pany that the train !earing the Presiden
tial party to Wa-hington will run on a
slow schedule, iu order not to have too
great a strain on the old lady.
Mr. McKinley has nested that, if
possible, the special train leave Canton
at 3 o'clock on the afternoon of March 1st,
and the running time to he arranged so
that the train will arrive in Washington
a'lout 11 a. nu March 2J.
Major McKinley's escort will leave
about four or five hours Wore the Presi
dential train, in order that the former
may arrive in ashiugton in time to get
olTthe dust of travel and make a present
able apjiearance when they escort Major
McKinley from the depot to the Ebbitt
Hoase, where bis quarters have been
engaged.
Mr. McKinley's train will consist of
twoprivato cars, one of which will be
used by himself and family; two sleeping
cars, one baggage car, a dining car, and
a car for the transportation of the com
mittee aud newspaper oorresondenLs.
Proposed Primary Election Law.
Senator Brown, of Westmoreland coun
ty, is preparing a bill, which be will in
troduce at Harrisburg, regulating prima
ry elections. The proposed law will make
it the duty of the officers of the general
election to conduct the primaries. They
will receive ?l per day from the county
treasurer. All boards are made up of Re
publicans and Democrats, and in this
way the Seuator believes that an impar
tial count w ill be secured. At a Repub
lican primary the Democrats will lie a
check on that party and at a Democratic
primary the tables will tie turned.
A party that can have a primary under
Senator Brown's bill must have polled
at least five per cent, of the largest vote
cat fr state or national officers at the
last election. This will bar out every
body but the Republicans aud Iemoerats.
The bill also forbids the holding of the
primaries of two parties on the same day.
The party having polled the largest vote
at the preceding state election will be en
titled to bold the first primaries. The
minority party, however, will at least be
given time to bold its primaries within
fifteen days of its regular time for hold
ing the elections.
The bill bars an elector from voting at
more than one primary. Now it is a fre
quent occurrence for some RemooarLs
aud Republicans to vote at the primaries
of both parties. If a person votes mora
than once under this measure be is guilty
of a misdemeanor and is liable to a tine of
Jf'iK) or three months in jail or both.
Senator Brown considers the election
board feature of his bill a good one.
Under the present system the election
boards are made up of all kinds of people
and often appointed to serve without the
authority of anyone. Often they are not
sworn, and even when they are they bav
little regard for the oath they take.
' Th Arbitration Treaty.
The President has transmitted to the
Senate the arbitration treaty agreed upon
between Secretary Olney on the part of
the United States, and Sir Julliun
rau nee forte on the part of the British
government. Among other tbiugs the
President says: "I transmit herewith
a treaty for the arbitration of all matters
of difference between the United Slates
and Great Britain.
The prpvisious of the treaty are the
result of long and patient delileration,
and represent concessions made by each
party, for the sake of agreement upon the
general scheme. I
Tnough the result reached may not
meet the views of the advocates of imme
diate, unlimited aud irrevocable, arbitra
tion of all international controversies, it
is, nevertheless, confidently ' believed
that the treaty ean not fail to bo every
where rooignized as making a long step
in the right direction, and as embodying
a practical working plan by which dis
putes between the two countries will
reach a peaceful adjustment as a matter
of course and in ordinary routine.
The experiment of substituting civil
ized methods for brute force as the means
of settling international questions of right
will thus be tried under the happiest au
spices. Its sucss ought not to be donbt
fuL, and the fact that its ultimate ensuing
benefits are not likely to be limited to
the countries immediately concerned
should cause it to be promoted all the
more eagerly. The example set and the
lesson furnished by the successful opera
tion of this treaty are sure to be felt aud
taken to heart sooner or later by other
nations and will thus mark the begin
ning of a new epoch in civilization."
Following are the terms of the treaty
as published :
First A term of five years from the
date of the exchange of ratifications with
in which the treaty shall be operative.
Second A court of arbitration of six
members, three to be drawn from the
judiciary of the Uuited States and three
from the judiciary of Great Britain.
Third The submission to this tribunal
of all differences between the two nations
now pending or to arise within the pe
riod of five years. This not to include
the Behring sea question or the Venezue
lan question now before the independ
ent commissions, but to include the ques
tion of the boundary between Alaska aud
North America.
The Createkt Konarch
Is a fit subject for pity if he is troubled
with dyspepsia, while bis poorest subject
who digests properly may well be envied

of every clime and nation owe a debt of
gratitude to Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
which rescues them from one of the most
obstinate and troublesome complaints
against which medical skill is directed.
On this continent, in Europe and the
tropicM, this sterling remedy is pre-eminently
and justly popular, not only as a
stomachic, but also as a means of prevent
ing and curing malarial, rheumatic, ki 1

improves appetite and sleep, hastens con
valescence aud the acquisition of vigor
after exhausting maladies, and counter
acts the infirmities of age. A wineglasH

to promote tranquil, health yielding
sleep, a boon much coveted by nervous
invalids.

Dishonorable Discbarges.
There are several important rulings on
the pension laws in recent decisions of
A ss i sta n t-Secretary-of-th e-1 n terior Rey
nolds. One is that desertion from the
Regular Army, under an enlistment sub
sequent to a service in and an honorable
discharge from, the War of the Rebellion,
is nt a bar to pension under the Act of
June 27th. The original holdings of the
previous Administration in first constru
ing this act and all subsequent decisions
have been overruled.
It is reiterated that, in harmony with
the plain terms of the June Art and all
previous decisions, dishonorable dis
charge operates as a bar to pension to the
soldier or his widow and children under
that act, but it is not a bar to such pen
sion under the general law for disabili
ties contracted in the service or for death
from causes originating therein. This is
in liue with a long established practice.

arrested on a charge of conspiracy against
the Spanish Government, and who was
found guilty by the tribunal before which
be was tried, was arraigned to-day for
the purpse of being sentenced. The
Court imposed upon the unfortunate man
the awful penalty of being Imprisoned
for lifo in chains. Counsel for the prison
er gave notice of an appeal to theSupreuie
Court at Madrid against the decision of
the tribunal which declared Somcillan
guilty.
Not, proliably, since the dark days of
the Spanish Inquisition has any sentence
approaching in horror that of the Havana
tribunal in the case of Soiiiriilun been
equaled in atrocity by a nation claiming
to be civilized. The death penalty would
have been regarded by the friends of the
condemned man as light in comparison
with the lwrbarous sentence that dooms
the victim to the most awful torture until
death shall interpose to ci:d bis suffer
ings.
The aim is, of course, to kill the prison
er by inches. The chains are so arranged
that the condemned man cin o ily move
a few inchea in either direction, und the
weight of the mana -les issoadjasted that
lire may Ik? protracteu for a long time lie
fore it yields to theawful burden. Noth
ing more horrible as a method of punish
ment was ever practiced in the darkest
days of the middle ages.

Judge Wolf, then a I'nion soldier, was
taken prisoner January ls;, and was
confined for four months in Libby. A
