THE Pittsburgh Commercial Ga:ctte OF the
18th contains an interview with Mr.. @. l..
Magee, OF that city, in which he annoln.
ces that the unit rule is to be enforced in
Chicago. His words are:
We shall have different man for Chair
man in Chicago from Mr.. Mcpherson. II
will be man who will not be so ready 10
60 back on his own record. The unit rule
will be maintained there. No matter how
many kickers there may be in the delega-
ton, and there will be but one or two II
any, every time there is vote taken the
tiity.eight votes OF Pennsylvania will be
cast solidly one way or the other, Just as
the majority Of the delegation may de-
eide in caucus.
On this Mr., Mcpherson says in the
Philadelphia Pres; "This crack OF the
whip will be pleasant reading for those
delegates who were chosen by the people
OF their districts prior to the meeting Of
the State Convention aud who are under
special instructions by their constituents,
and for those other delegates, il any, who
may be instructed by their immediate con.
stitucnts between this date aud the meet.
ing Of the National Convention. Now, to
this arrangement indicated by Mr.. Magee
there must be two parties. First, the
Pennsylvania delegates must themselves
insist upon the enforcement OF the unit
rule, Second, the National Convention
must likewise insist upon 1t. And before
doing this 1t must reverse all previous nc.
ton Of National Conventions on this sub.
ject from 1860 to this time. The unit rule
was not always as popular in Pittsburgh as
it appears to be to-day, for Mr.. Brown, Of
that city, broke 1t in 1868 as against Cur
tins candidacy, the present Senator
Cameron then participating in that policy;
But as times and interests change, many
men are apt to change with them"

rhe Patient Ready 10 Appear In Pnblic
"A Nose Tint Is More Ornamental Than
UsefnI-A Pair of NoStriIs Needed.
From the New York Herald, February %.
Crowds OF visitors are calling daily at
Bellevue Hospital to see Thomas Coulter,
the patient who is now the possessor OF a
nose which was but recently his middle
flyer. About three weeks ago the plaster
Of Paris bandage was removed from his
face and careful examination showed
that the finger had grown fast to the site
of the former nose. DR.. Sabine at once
decided to sever the hand from the two
Joints which were thereafter to serve as q
nose. During the two months In which
the finger had been growing to the lace
tho blood had retreated from the hand and
arm because OF Its peculiar position, leay-
ing them as white as snow. Shortly after
the operation the tube through which
Tommy breathed was remoued from Its
position In the larynx. The patient is at
present in a peculiar position, in. order to
have shapely nasal organ the second
Joint OF the amputated finger was crooked
80 that the elbow forms the tip OF the nose.
The end OF the finger was stitched to the
upper lip in q neat manner. The next
step in the process was to remove pieces Of
skin from the cheeks and forehead and al.
low them to. grow on the lacerated and
stitched portions OF the new nose. The
consequence is that there are now no NOS
trils at present and Tommy breathes
through his mouth and ears. In order 70
avoid this inconvenient mode OF inhalinG
and exhaling an operation Is shortly to be
performed with view to providing the
new organ with nostrils. Coulter's articu'
lation isgood, but his voice sounds q:
though he were speaking through . rams
horn. Tho surgeons in charge OF the case
are confident that they will be able to re
move this impeachment very easily.

IT seems at last that the Chinese arc
beginning to "go"-of their own free will
and accord. California adyices indicate
that the number of Chinese returning to
China is larger than the number of arri-
walls, During the fourteen months ending
December $500 Chinese arrived in San
Francisco, and lO,Ol7 departed for China.
Many, of course, also died. The exodus
increases as timc advances. During No

the laws of Massachusetts, regulating the
legal partition of man and wife are decid-
edly stringent and itsome Of the Western
States and Territories similarly gave
the official records to the public,
the percentage Of the dissolu.
tons Of the marriage bond to the
total number Of unions would be
much greater. Indeed, even in Vermont
the ratio for the last ten years is about one
divorce to seventeen marriages, in Rhode
Island, one to fourteen; and in Connect

The hard facts are that, while the mar

the last twenty notwithstanding oul
increase in population, the divorce rate
has considerably more than doubled with

Of population is direct testimony of an in

that the increase OF divorces in STATE

THE Wisconsin Assembly has ordered
to a third reading an amendment to the
Constitution that covers 60 much ground
that it. will probably be asked to call q
halt in the Senate. Tho proposition is to
allow Indians who have renowned their
tribal relations, foreigners otter one years
residence in the State, and women 81
years of age to exercise the right of sui
frage. The bill passed the Assembly by
tho large majority Of AZ 10 IL III absent or
not voting, which indicates the conf:
dence the House had that the Senate
would defeat the measure. In order to
amend the Constitution Of that State, it
requires the proposition to be passed by
two consecutive Legislatures, and then
submitted to q vote at general election,
80 that any proposed amendment Is sure
to DO thoroughly discussed by the people
and the press before it is adopted.

VIZ have been indebted to the latest re.
port Of the Massachusetts, Bureau of Sta

ing compilations of facts aud figures upon
matters social and industrial; but there is
hardly another feature of that document
that is as worthy OF attention as that in
which it discusses the subject of marriage
and divorce. 1t Is true that the report
simply covers the State Of Massachusetts,
but court records and newspaper publiCa.
tons quite sufficiently make it known that
elsewhere aswell asi in that commonwealth
the proportion Of divorces steadily grows
beyond the increase OF population and
marriages. AS to Massachusetts, there
was in 1860 an average OF but ono divorce
to fifty-one marriages, and in 1878 the
ratio had grown until out Of every twenty
one welded pairs there was one that had
procured release, as the law terms it,
