A Difficult Operation.

The New Era says 1.-The medical
faculty of the asylum yesterday per-
formed a very difficult operation
upon a patient from Allen county,
named John Thomas. Several years
ago mir. Thomas received a blow
upon his head from IA pick. The
blow was a very severe one and de-
preston of the skull was the result,
From the effects Of this the unfortu
nate mans mind was unbalanced
and he has been insane ever since.
Occasionally there were lucid
intervals during which he al
ways insisted upon the operation.
The bone which pressed against the
brain was successfully removed by
trefning and the patient stood the
operation with heroic fortitude. 1t is
too early yet to ascertain whether or
not the patient will be cured, but the
symptoms are very favorable"

liqqor licenses shall go into the cities, bor-
ouehs. and townships in which the establish
nients receiving the licenses are situated.
Mr. Criichfelds amendment provided that
the license fees should be paid into the
county treasury. and in support of his
amendment he argued that ii it be true, as
is generally admitted that the retail liquor
business increases the number of cases that
get into the Quarter Sessions Court, and
thereby increases the expenses of the county,
justice requires that whatever revenue is
derived from such licenses should go to in
crease the funds of the county treasury His

SoNE newspapers have expressed a
doubt rs TO whether the next President
would be elected under the new appor-
tionment or under the old one. but that
matter is regulated by an act of Congress
passed % years ago.
Section 1872 Of the Revised Statutes of
the United States says: "The number Of
electors shall be equal to the number of
Senators and Representatives to which
the several States are by law entitled at
the time when the President and Vice
President to he chosen come into Office.
except that where no apportionment of
Representatives has been made after any
enumeration, at the time OF choosing
electors, the number of electors shall be
according to the then existing appor-
tionment OF Senator's and Representa-
tives."
The Clerk Of tie House of Representa-
tives points out that the spportionment
has been made under the last enumera-
tion, and il is the apportionment which
will be in existence when "the time of
choosing electors" shall come in lsga.
II is clear that the next President win
be elected under the new apportionment,
which will give the Electoral College 444
members, instead Of 420 as the last.

the scheme embraced in the adoption Of
the measure now pending in Congress
for an unlimited coinage Of silver at our
mints. If We have developed an unex-
pected capacity for the assimilation of
largely increased volume Of the currency,
and even if We have demonstrated the
usefulness Of such an increase, these con-
ditions Gall far short OF insuring us against
disaster, il, in the present situation, we

TIL deaths Of General sherman and

usually regard as their period Of greatest
usefulness. or that great group of gen

A Congressional spportionment map OF
Alabama, under its recent apporhon-
ment, is a thing Of beauty and constant
ioy to the Democracy. In order to place
the colored voters as compact as possible
one district is fashioned something like
q fine-pointed star, with population
of IO2 OS0 colored voters and 81, $50 white
voters, and yet it is dollars to dimes that
the $1,000 majority Of colored votes will
so dwindle on election day that it will
be wiped out and the Democratic Con-
gresham elected. Another district is
shaped unlike anything else on earth,
and runs clear across and one-third up
and down the State, but they had to do
IL in order to get white voting p0pula-

voting population to $1,000. This state
of affairs prevails in almost every dis
trict, and it is hard to find a single SYM
metrical district in the entire State.

Death of Admiral Porter-A Title
Dies with Him.

WAsHrvGrox. February I3.-Admiral Da-
vid D. Porter. who has been in falling health
for some years, died suddenly at SIS o'clock
Friday morning at his residence in this city
Of fatty degeneration Of the heart. DR.. Wales
the physician attending Admiral Porter was
hastily summoned TO his bedside when the
attack came. but the Admiral was dead be-
fore he arrived All the-members Of the FAM
ily were at home at the time Of his death.
Almost as long as there has been an Amer
ican navy the name Of Porter has been hon
orably connected with it. Five generations
of the family have gone down to the sea in
sbius. andall have acquitted themselves with
bravery. And now. with the death Of Da-
vid Dixon Porter, the tile Of Admiral in
the American navy dies, too.
Admiral Porter was born in Chester, Della
ware county. Pa on June s, 1913. He stud
led in the Columbian College, at Washing
ton. d. C., but the traditions Of the family
were strong upon him. Il was impossible
for the son of man who was naval hero
of The war of 1872 not 10 turn naturally to
the sea. In 1924 be sailed with his father
on the John Adams to suppress piracy in
the West Indies, and was soon afierward ap-
pointed midshipman in the Mexican navy.
At the opening Of the cival war Admiral
! Porter was assigned to the Gulf squadron
on the Powhaian. In April. 1861. be was
appointed commander and placed in COM
mand of the mortar fleet, with which he
subsequently joined Farragut below New Or
I leans
/ He bombarded and reduced Fort Jackson
and Fort St. Philip, and going up the river
assisted Farragut in the latter's operations
between New Orleans and Nicksburg. He
| successfully bombarded all the forts, and en-
abled the feet to pass in safety.
The intrepid sailor soon after triumphant
/ ly ran the gauntlet Of forts at Nicksburg, put
himselfin communication with Gen. Grant
and aided materially in the glorious capture
of that place on the 4th Of July, 1858. Dur
ing the remainder OF the year Admiral Por-
ter's squadron was emp'Jycd in keeping the
Mississippi river open to anobstructed navi-
CATION.
In eomme..a nf .i,.- Atlantic squadron in
1864 he took part in the bombardment Of
Fort Fisher at the mouth Of Cape Fear river
Porter received the thanks of Congress fol
this service, the fourth he had been given
during the war. He was made vice admi.
raj in 1865, and on August Is 1870, was pro-
NOTED TO the rank of admiral of the navy
which position he has held continuously
ever since.
Admiral Porter is the author Of several
books, and was the originator of a peculiar
type of gunboat, of which, however, nore
has yet been built.
