caused by the carelessness of section

vp1n.V EVENING, JUNE 20. 1888.
A Gibson in Posse.

The governor has appointed Mr.
SCHWARTZ to the Berks county orphans
court iudgeship, and we assume that he
considered him to be fit for the place. In
this opinion he is sustained by some OF
Mr. Schwartz's neighbors in Eerks,
among whom Hester Clymer and George
F. Baer are prominently named as spon
sors of his nomination. They would IN
cline to be sponsors for the friends OF
their friend Judge Hagsnman or
rather Mr.. Baer would do anything de-
cent to oblige Hagenman and Mr.. ely
mer anything reputable to oblige Baer'
We hope that the event will justify their
judgment and the governors conGrma-
ton of it. Mr.. Schwartz, we agree, IS Il
very pleasant gentlemen and quite II
good politician, The governor isreport-
en- to have said to the delegation, VINO
protested against his nomination on the
ground that he was not much OF law
yer. that it does not take a very good
LAWYER to be very good judge, or words
to that effect; and We quite agree that
the best lawyers would not make the best
Judges. Success on the bench requires
very different elements of strength from
those that are demanded for success at
the bar and it may he that in Judge
Schwartz may dwell as yet undeveloped
the magnificent judicial qualities that
made the obscure Gibson the best chief
Justice whom PENNSYLVANIA has ever had
We are sure we hope 80, for the sake OF
the heirs of Berks county's dead rich
men; but it is an unnecessary sort
of risk for them to face, when they
could have been guaranteed against it
so easily by putting on the orphans
court bench such ajudge as Garret Ste
yens or Isaac Hester would have surely
made.

Description Of the InteeootanG Process
Used By the Surgeons.
The body Of the late Archbishop Wood,
whose funeral obsequies were performed
with great sOlemnity at the cathedral on
Tuesday last, was embalmed by DR.. NJ. L.
Nardyz, of 74S South Ninth street, pre-
parator to the jefferson medical college,
and member of several prominent foreign
medical societies. He was assisted by
Professor II. T. Cresson, of tho Academy
OF Natural Sciences, and DR.. Frank Wort.
man, of the Jefferson college.
The process employed in the case of the
late distinguished prelate, is claimed by
DR.. Nardyz to be equal to, and in many
respects superior to, that employed by the
ancients and it is thought will stand the
test Of age quite as we'll. The numerous
instances in which he has been called upon
to perform the duties of like Office have
so far proved pre-eminently successful. 1t
was by this process that he embalmed the
Russian Prince Alexander Aristoff, who
died in Paris in 1873, aud whose body is
said to be in fine state Of preservation at
the present time.
Owing to the state of tho weather and
the time required to make the necessary
preparations for the imposing funeral
ceremonies it was thought proper to have
the archbishop's body embalmed. DR..
Nardyz and his assistants were accordingly
called in "a hours after death had taken
place, and began the arduous task of en-
balming. A short description of the
method of procedure may ba briefly stated
as follows Tho viscera were first thor
oughly cleansed with appropriate solutions
after which all the blood was extract
ed from the body. The preservative
liquids, the preparation and composition
of which require the greatest care, and are
known only to the doctor and his assis-
tants, were then introduced through tho
aorta and made to fill every blood vessel
in the entire system, thereby permeating
tho remotest portions of the body. After
this the body was carefully bandaged with
linen and covered with silioate of soda in
order to exclude tue outer surface from
contact with tho air. A few more minor
details completed the work.
By the extraction Of the blood and tho
peculiar composition of the preservative
liquids, it is claimed that the Objectionable
feature of turning black is entirely obvi
ated. At all events the corpse, which tho
doctor and his assistants say is the hand
soonest they ever saw, looked as natural as
life after lapse of six days Of tho most
trying weather. The perfection of feature
and fine condition of preservation were
universally admired by the clergy.

TIE Reading Ncns thinks that tie

nent in giving its opinion that BerkS

Schwartz and the Ne,cs is sore too,
because the iNTELLIGENCEE wouldn't
help it to defeat the bill to make this
new judgeship. If the Nrs will put its
spectacles on, it will see that it is a little
inconsistent in it to deny us the priv
lego of expressing our opinion about its
Judge while abusing us for not express
ing it about the office. The truii,
is we think the Office is i good

the INTELLIGENCER has u habit of ex
pressing its opinions just rs it forms
them and the fact that " one OF its ell

that the expression of the lNTELLIGEN

The Democrats in tho Pennsylvania
Legislature, with tho majority in the
House and the governor, have boon willing
from the beginning to 60 to the utmost
verge of concession in order to settle this
vexed question in somo degree of
conformity with the requirements
of the constitution. The Republi.
cans of the Senate, Oh the other
hand, fully recognize their advantage
under the shamefully fraudulent gerry
mander of ten years ago, and they are
resolved to maintain it unless the Domo.
Gratis will surrender in new apportionment
yearly all that the old gerrymander wres
tied from them. This alone prevents a
fair apportiOnment, and this is what the
organs Of the party enjoying tho gerry
mander carefully keep from view. But for
the existence of this indecent gerrymauder
under which the Democrats have not more
than eight congressional districts, tho two
houses would agree upon the apporiiOn
ment bills in twenty -four hours and
adjourn.
In resistance to fair measures Of appOr-
tiOnment the littlo knot of 50 called Inde-
pendents in the Senate have betrayed as
much partisan meanness and want of
SCTuplo Gb IilO OAGEtiuiSG OLdlWdrJS. Dut-
ing the regular session Senator Stewart
did get up an apportionment bill which
magnanimously conceded to the Democrats
eleven of tho twenty eight districts for
Congress. Even this measure the Demo
Gratis Of the Legislature were willing to
accept in their anxiety for Il settlement,
but a majority cOuld not DO mustered in
its support in the Senate, in which
Stewart, Lee, Emery, MacFarlane, Agnew
aud Longenecker hold the balance of
powor. Astonished at his own momen-
tary liberality or finding effort in behalf
of his bill unavailing Senator Stewart has
joined tho Stalwarts in support of tho
same McCrackon apportionment bill
which he erewhile denounced for it's un
fairness. If thero are any silly people left
in Pennsylvania who believe that tho H.
dependents have 4 higher standard of
political morality and decency than the
Stalwarts they will find in tho daily
proceedings of tho extra session ample
materials for reviewing their judgment.

For years it has been the practice tn
incorporate in the general appropriat ion
bill an allowance of per diem pay and
extras for certain officers of the I.egisl,
ture who are paid a fixed salary, which
under the law cannot be increased or
diminished during their term. BY this
provision of the law the salary of the
chief clerks of the Houses, for instance,
which is fixed at $500 each, has been
increased in the appropriation bill to
$3.50 and others correspondingly. 1t is
now announced that Governor Pattison
intends to veto this extra allowance, and
surely fault cannot be found with such
a discriminating exercise of his veto
power in favor of the strict construction
of the principle that salaries ought not
to be varied during the term for which
they are drawn.
