For q Six.Year Term.

The latest phase of the third term
discussion in the newspapers takes the
form of Il prediction that Mr.. Cleye-
land, realizing the impossibility Of ex-
pecting a third tenure of the presi-
dency, will try to for his
torical prestige by causing to be intro
duced in the coming congress a Joint
resolution authorizing the submission
Of a constitutional amendment extend
Ing the presidential term to six years
and making a second consecutive term
impossible.
That Mr.. Cleveland will take this
course we deem improbable. But that
1t should be taken by congress itself
is indisputable. Along with It there
might be passed a joint resolution re-
1uesting the next president to appor.
tion among his various cabinet officers
the work of filling the various Offices
coming within their respective juris-
dictions, thus leaving the executive
himself free to consider broad questions
of public policy in seclusion from the
.Incessant opportunities Of place-hunt-
Frs. Such a distribution of the presi-
1ency's routine duties would take from
that position its greatest single bur-
len, and more thoroughly than hither-
20 enable its occupant to realize the
constitutions grand conception Of the
:hief magistracy Of a free people.
We do not see that there would be
my improperly in r~e-electing an ex.
president after an interval of six years.
Sometimes such q course would seem to
be demanded in the interest Of poetic
Justice. After q disastrous change like
hat Of 1922, It would become to many
ieceived voters practically Z duty to re-
M e olhoe The man WHOSE adninistra.

The Nicaragua Canal.

ST. Loui Globe-Democrat: Senator
Frye points out that the opening of the
Nicaraguan canal would place us as near
Hong Kong as England. loo miles nearer
| 800 miles nearer Japan, and 1000 miles
nearer Australia. Furthermore, the time
between New York and San Francisco by
steamer would be educed about one-half
with II large reduction in freight charges.
These considerations seem to him suf-
ficient to justify our government In giving
all possible encouragement to the enter
prise"

The Scranton Republican,, apparentl9
Imagining that it's readers are specially
Interested in the personality of the edi'
tor of The Tribune, prints an alleged
biography of him notable chiefly for its
lack of facts. The editor Of The Tri-
bune is too modest to agree with the
Republican In it's overestimate of his
Importance, and therefore will say, In
reply to the personal part of its Satur-
accused, work for pay; that he expects
to continue in this outlines as long as
health and strength will permit; and
that, for the present at least, he is ac-
tually happy in the knowledge that his
pay reaches him, in cash, every second
Friday afternoon. He trusts that his
fellow workers in the employ of the Re-
publican enjoy the same punctual bless
ing.
The temptation to reply to Mr.. Scran-
ton in his own dirty coin by fertilizing
the biography of the member of con
gress from this district with certain
malodorous Incidents in his official
career at Washington, whereby his con-
stituents were shamed by gross and
maudlin conduct better suited to an
asylum for inebriates than to the hall
of the national house of representatives,
the details of which are readily Access
sible, will be resisted as falling beneath
a reputable journal which enters the
circle Of home. Anyhow, this mans
character is pretty well known. The
crooked relationship which he has long
borne to public affairs; the political
rascality in which he has figured as
chief plotter and beneficiary; the tricks,
the i%ntrigues, the sell-outs, the dickers;
the money borrowed and never repaid;
the promises broken; the friends
a~bused;-all these things and many
more besides are so we'll known to those
who have been brought into contact
with him that detailed repetition would
be su%perfluous. 1t is really provocative
of pity to reflect that the man Of whom
these things are true bears a name
which, In spite Of his persistent efforts
to disgrace it, is d~eservedly held In
highest honor, because of those who
bore and bear it worthily and well.
The profligate who has wasted his
substance in riotous and extravagant
living may fancy that those who have
toiled and saved are leagued against
him, but 1t is not so. The Tribune, be-
gun on its W merits as a legitimate
business enterprise, stands to-day flat
ly and firmly on that honorable basis;
asks and seeks no special favors, and is
abundantly satisfied w'.- its achieve
ments and its prospects. If this were
true; IL the case were as Mr.. Scran-
ton paints 1t, it would please him SO
well that instead of getting mao and
frothing at the mouth he would wreathe
his Machiavelian face into one of those
seemingly cherubic smiles with which
he Is wont to beguile assistance from
men secretly marked for his dagger's
thrust, and execute a clog dance for
Joy.

No Jugglery with Duty.

Well-defined rumor has it that MIR.
Cleveland. in his message, will ask con-
gress to increase the revenue by add
ing fifty cents a gallon to the tax on
whisky and one dollar per barrel to
the present tax on beer. If he does
this congress should promptly call his
attention to the fact that the loss In
revenue is due to his Darty's wanton
slashing Of protection. and that, there
fore, the best and shortest way to a
remedy for that deficit is through the
restoration of the sacrificed duties.
A large proportion of the Republican
members of congress are represented In
the Washington dispatches as having
expressed the belief that their party
ought for political reasons to let the
tariff severely alone this coming ses-
sion, even though the government shall
Thereby be compelled to peddle another
issue of bonds In order to secure money
for current expenses. They argue, as
Correspondent Curtis puts it in his
letter to the Chicago Record, that 'the
Republicans are not responsible for the
present condition of things: that the
existing revenue laws were passed by
q Democratic president and his secre-
tary of the treasury; that they received
timely and frequent warnings from the
Republicans that the decrease of duties
they proposed would not afford a suf-
ficient G to sustain the govern
nlent, but they insisted upon having
their own way and should now be COM
PEELED to take the consequences even
though they roll IN the public debt at
the rate of 800, 900, 900 a year. They
insist hat the country should have the
benefit of this example of Democratic
disagreement, and hat the Republi-
can congress cannot be expected to
correct the mistakes of President
Cleveland and his party unless he Is
willing to admit their errors and beg
for relief"
Perhaps such an argument as this is
no more than natural: but we serious
ly doubt whether it will be satisfactory
to the people. There is at all times an
ample amount of duty-dodging in con-
nectlon with national legislation; the
mood Of the country, after it's three
years experience with Democratic in
capacity. Is decidedly favorable to
straightforward performance of duty
by the incoming Republican majority.
1t will be q ineXcusable mistake if the
paramount question of revenue replen-
ishment be not considered, from the
sessions first moment. solely with a
view to the nations needs. The politics
of the subject will in such an event take
care of itself.

bonds bear per cent interest and are

or 80 years, with the right TO redeem
them after 10 years. The secretary Of
the treasury ia authorized to keep the
gold reserve up to minimum OF $780,
100000 by selling these bonds. Pro-
vision is made for the steady retirement
of greenbacks both from the proceeds OF

HER BONES ARE BREAKING.

Hiss Sarah Scott of Fall River IL sufD6r~
ing From a Singular Disease.
Five years ago Miss Sarah Scott 81
Fall River was budding into a woman
hood that promised an exceptional ex-|
ample of feminine beauty. Today she|
is a bedridden invalid in whom every
physician in New England is taking anil
interest. She is suffering from osteo-|
malacia, rare disease Of the bones.
Her parents were both healthy, and|
they have another daughter who enjoyn|
a beautiful face and splendid physique.
About 1S months ago Miss Scott oom-|
planned of peculiar soreness in her left|
thigh. While about to step on a train
her thigh bono snapped at the sore spot;
and she was carried into a hospital.
The manner of the breaking was 20!
simple that the examining physician d
curiosity was at once aroused. After|
some of the most expert men had look-|
ed into the details it was decided that
amputation was necessary to prolongj
the girls life. Her nerves were in a
shattered condition, but the amputation|
was successful. 1t was noted at the timeI
that the bone was Of a very unusual
composition, but no such results as have|
followed were expected.
After the wound had been dressed
and while she was being turned in q
hospital bed the doctors and nursea
were astouHded by the breaking of q
bone in her right thigh almost in the
exact spot where amputation had been/
performed On the other leg.
The fracture was treated immediate-I
ly, and for eight months the girl rel
manned at the institution under the care
of physicians who studied the case anx-
iously. Then the broken limb healed,
and the girl was talen home. Her gem
eral health did not improve and she be-
came a great care to her relatives. Ono
of the surgeons at Boston hospital,
who knew of her case, settled in Fall
River some months ago and made {
close study Of tho disease as it developed.
Not many weeks ago, while the girl
was resting her foot on the floor trying
its strength without the support Of
crutches, the right thigh bone again
snapped about where it was previously
broken. That necessitated total con1
finement to her bed. A few weeks later
she was trying to chew small piece q
meat when her left jawbone broke.
This caused noticeable swelling.
and her pretty features now look dis

to fix a pillow under her head, using
her left arm to push it into place. She

Strafnsd-An Austrian Protest.
WAsmNGToN, Jan. 4.-The tariff war
between the United State, and Europe
reached an acute phase today. The
frat official act Of Henglsmuller, the
new Austrian minister. was the lodg'
ment Of protest againat that para
graph ofthe sugar schedule act which
imposes an additional duty OF one-tenth
o! l per cent on sugar coming to the
United States from countries which pay
export bounty on it. This action was
taken today, and the ground taken by
the minister is eimilar to that which
formed the basia OF the protest OF Ger
many. that additional duty paid dis
crimina'es against Austria and conse.
quenily is violation OF the treaty OF
commerce with that nation.
So far no threat of retaliation accom-.
panied the protest, but in this Hengie'
