No President for years has j«aid more deference to the opinions of members of his party than Major McKinley does, and no President has ever taken more pains to ascertain the opinions of callers upon public matters While there is no question of public importance upon which President McKinley has not a ■ well-defined opinion of his own. he in vites the freest expression of the opin ions of others and is not =0 self opin ionated as not to be sometimes convin ced that his own are erroneous. Just now he takes every oportnnity of draw ing out the opinions of his callers on matters of which his annual message to Congress will treat. While his mes sage. which will be a long one. has been all blocked ont, what he hears between now and when the final revising is done may make material difference in por tions of it. If there isn't an arbitation treaty be tween Great Britain and the United States before the adjournment of the coming session of Congress, it will not be the fault of President McKinley. as he intends to send a new treaty to the Senate early in the session, drawn to meet the expressed objections to the one that was rejected by the Senate at the last session. Attorney-General McKenna is prepar ing the papers that will be necessary in foreclosureproceedi ngs against toe Cen tral Pacific Railroad Company, which will, in January next, owe the Govern ment nearly $53,000,000, so that no time will be lost in case the Company de faults. as it is expected it will do. If foreclosure proceedings are started, they jirn'ikely to include the Western Pacific Railroad also. Experts on the cultivation and mar keting of the export tobacco of Ken tucky and Tennessee are invited by Secretary Wilson to write what they know on the subject, to be > used in a series of to bacco bulletins to be issued by the De partment of Agriculture. Accepted con tributions will be paid for at the rate of sls a thousand words. The conclusion of the members of the Executive Commitee of the Indianap olis Financial convention of last winter, whieh has been holding a monetary conference in Washington for some time past, not to make their report pub lic until after President Mckinley's message and Secretary Gage s annual report have been submitted to Congi ess, probably means that the measure which the Committee will reoomend to Congress will be in the main along the same lines as the financial recommen dations that will be made 111 Secretar} Gage's annual report and indorsed by President McKinley. In a statement just issued by this Commitee much more confidence is expressed in the pass ing of financial legislation by this Con gress than there are indications in sight to justify. ON Thanksgiving day the papers stat ed Pres. McKinley desired peace and would advise Congress not to meddle with the Cuban question, but the same papers contained an account of an at tempt by the Spanish to blow up our Consulate at Havana. That don t IOOK very lamb like on Spain's part. The American people, our President among them, may as well as not get ready to give Spain a spanking and free" Cuba. It seems to be an unavoidable duty, and so far as freeing Cuba goes, should oe a very agreeable one. McCormiek For Governor. A correspondent of the Pittsburg Dis patch writing from Harrisburg posi tively asserts that there has lieen a patch-up between Quay, Martin and Magee, and speaking of the Gubernato rinal contests, says that « Senatoi Quay will be willing to go along with anybody except Attorney General Mc Cormick; Senators Magee and Flinn have no antipathy except Congressman Wiiliam A. Stone, and Secretary Mar tin will be with Quay for anybody so long as he is let alone in Philadelphia Outside of McCormiek and Stone there does not seem to be any doubt of joint harmonious action on the part of the machine leaders in the State. Senator Quay has been approached several times recently in behalf of this or that candidate for Governor, and he has invariably given his callers to un derstand that he will not be mixed up in the scramble for that office. His own fight will occupy all his time, and he does not propose to be digging into other contests. His antipathy to Attor ney General McComrek is bccnus-e of the latter's pronounced anti-Quay senti ments, as shown in interviews and his known feelings regarding the Beaver Senator. Those who know the Attorney General, however, are sure that he will not ask Quay's permission to be acandi date if he should make up his mind to go into the fight. McCormick's course as the official and personal adviser of Governor Has tings has lieen so uniformly courageous and independent that he is looked upon here as a most formidable aspirant for the Governership, There is much speculation regarding the significant conference held in Phil adelphia between Hastings,- Martin, Magee and McCormiek. it has been suspected recently by the Attorney General s friends that he was disinclin ed to enter the contest for the guber national nomination: but since that meeting it is thought here that the sub ject of his prospective candidacy and availability was discussed. It need not surprise anybody now to see an official declaration of the Attor ney General s intention to make the fight against the Quay machine. He may not lie so widely known through the State as some of the other candi dates, but his official record stands him in better stead than :mere personal ac quaintances. Mr. McCormiek has giv en the subject of his probable candi dacy serious thought since th" matter was first broached to him by his friends, and if he decides to enter the fight he will do so in earnest. He is a plucky fighter, and once in the fray he will stay to the finish, no matter what may be the odds against him. THE enforcement of the act provid ing for collection of the amounts due the Commonwealth for purchase money, interest and fees on unpatented land has developed a factional political fight in Chester and Lancaster counties, where there are many farms coming under the provisions of this act. The people there are bitterlv opposed to it and consider it an outrage. All the members of the Legislature from those counties who voted for the measure - and they are all Quay men are sure to be defeated if they try for renomina tion. P. A. B. WIDNEK, the street railway king has made a formal presentation of bis magnificent residence, the finest in Philadelphia, to the city as a free libra ry. Also his great art collection, on condition that a fireproof gallery be built to keep it in. The residence is valued at SOOO,OOO and i is said Mr. Widr.er will expend in fitting it up for iU new us*, HARRISBURCi. Secretary of Internal Affairs Latta has directed Deputy Secretary Brown not to enforce the land lien law, passed by the last legislature, provid ing for the collection of unpaid pur chase money on land Is night from the State. The secretary says the attempt to col lect has developed so many instances of real hardship that he thinks the next legislature will afford relief. The state can lose nothing by the delay, as the next legislature will doubtless re peal the act. DURING a riot in the Austrian Reich rath last Friday, several members were suspended by th** Speaker, and taken out by the police. A tiREAT storm and blizzard raged over great Baitain and-the surronding seas Sunday night and Monday. Scores of vessels, large and small were lost and hundreds of men drowned. The tide rose very high in the mouth of Thames river and flooded large districts of val nable property below London.

EDITOR: Will you please allow space in •your paper for a brief account of a reunion at the McKinney home stead, when the brother and sisters of Mrs. Margaret McKinney. and her children, grandchildren ami great grandchild came to celebrate Thanksgiving. Every one brought well failed ba« kets, and grand ma had prepared so many good things that the table soon was "burdened. After every one had partaken of as much turkey and cranberry-sauce, and the other good things that go with a Thanksgiving feast, we all assembled in the parlor, where letters were read from her children who could not be present—all regreting very much that they could not be there but assuring as that their thoughts were with us Those present were Mr. and Mrs George Brunermer. Mr. and Mrs. Perry Huselton. Mrs. Jane Brunermer and daughter Agnes, Mr. and Mrs. D. Weisz, of Chatham Ohio; Mrs. Flick, of Bakers town; Mr. and Mrs. M. H. Mc- Kinney and family, Mr. Steven \in roe. Mrs. William Wahl and daughters and Mrs, S. A. Black, of De Haven, Pa. Mrs. Detmer McKinney and family. "Mr and Mrs. Charlie Cretcber and child, of Sample Pa; Mr. and Mrs Robert McKinney and child. Mr and Mrs. W. S. McKinney and family, of Ell wood; and Mrs. G. H. Harley and daughter, of Butler. There were 24 grandchildren and one great grandchild present. After spending a pleasant day and wishing gradma many returns of the day we departed for our respective homes feeling it was good to be there, and thanking God for the blessings he had bestowed njion us. AT Long Island City, Tuesday Mar tin Thorn of New York was convicted of murder in the first degree, for killing Wro. Guldensuppe who preceded him in the affections of Mrs. Nack. Letter from California. SOLDIERS' HOME, Los Angeles Co., Cal.. Nov. 2-2, 1x97. MR. EDlTOß.—Perhaps some of my old comrades of the 61st Pa. ols. and also of the 6th Heavy Artillery may be interested in reading a few lines from one of their old comrades, and I take this opportunity of informing them th;.t I took a small interest in a ranch in Nye comity, Nev., with the intention ot forming a colony, I. with others, left Pittsburg on Dec. 4, 1895, via Chicago and then to Kansas City, throngh some fine country until we arrived in Nev Mexico, and then we crssed mountains and valleys, which for me to try to de scribe would fce useless as I think they have to be seen to be appreciated or to have a faint idea of their grandeur Arriving at Manvill, I had to take stage for the ranch, 85 miles: arriving there I found a fine ranch situated in what is called Pharump Valley and the ranch in history is called Pharump. in Indian meaning much water. I re mained there until Sept. 20, 1H!»6, and then for reasons best known to myself I left and landed in Los Angeles, Cal , a beautiful town of iron !M),-to 100,000 in habitants, which was 15 years ago but a village, situated 18 miles from the coast. It is a winter resort for tourists from cold climates, such as Pennsylva nia. Remained there until Sept. 18»7, when I concluded to go to the Soldiers Home and see if they did live as well and as comfortable as the old boys would tell me when they came up to town, provided the Governor would ad mit me without my discharge, but after a thorough examination by Dr. Hasse.l was admitted. Now I found, as I call, a godsend to the old boys. They are living here on the fat of the land, the best food the market can supply, as it has to stand inspection, and plenty of it, well cooked: good clothes and plenty of them, good clean lieds and all the comforts and privileges that any rea sonable old soldier could ask. and noth ing to do; and a majority of them draw a pension of which they don't have to give a part to the Home as they have to do in some of the State Homes in Penn sylvania for instance. 1 think that is unjust to ask an old soldier to pay his board or a part out of his little per month, scarcely enough to keep him in tobacco, when they can come here and get their pensions to do as they please with, and if they don't draw a pension get their tobacco, the result 1 think will be they will leave those State Homes and go to those U. S. Homes where they are treated as Uncle Sam promised u in 61. We have 8 fine buildings that are calculated to hold 200 each, that is :• company, and a line hospital with al. modern improvements, and :» doctors in charge, with several female nurses, with the old boys to assist them. There are other fine buildings, such as headquar ters, Gov. Smith's residence, and others and they arc now buildii g a hall or theatre which will seat from 1500 to 1800; which gives it a homelike appear ance with the delightful groves and flowers of all description in profusion. It is about 8 years since this Home was organized anil 1 see by the numbers that there have been 3700 admitted, out oi this I see the deaths average about To per year, and at present there are in the Home about 1600 or 1800 with 300 or out oi) furlough. This Home is situated in L.i m Angeles county, about 18 miles west of the town of Los Angeles, and -1 miles from Santa Monica, a small town of 2000 on the cost, where small boats land carrying freight and passengers, between San Diego and San Francisco, which we can see passing every day. We can also distinctly see mountains 100 miles (lis tant in Rivesside county and old Baldy capped with snow the year round 80 miles away. This is a beautiful day, clear and warm, thermometer registers S4 in the room, while us old boys are sitting here, nice and comfortable, look ing at those snow-capped mountains, telling our travels, interspersed with a war story.

Have you ever calculated how much is saved in the long run by having your clothing made by tailors who know their business? T You get belter goods, more care -1 ful workmanship and the fit and. style are worth a great deal. It's a satisfaction to wear iTrst class, well made clothes, and then it's economical as well. Clothes that fit, wear longer, look better r and are more satisfactory to the wearer. Those who wear ou*- garments appreciate this^ 1 Stop and calculate. Do you wear tailor-made clothes? In that case you have garments that last longer, wear better and suit; you more completely than any other. Every garment is made in the best style. No accidental fits. No di.-;;racefui effects.
