Physician of wide Reputation,

Dr. McBurncy is considered one OF the
leading surgeons Of the country. and his
reputation is worldwide. His counsel
is desired, although the presidents ad-
vlsers have the fullest confidence In DR..
Park. who also enjoys the highest repu-
tation as surgeon. Indeed, ne Is con-
sldered by far the ablest surgeon in this
part of the state.
Dr. McBurney, after thorough exam
nation OF the president reported that he
had not found a single unfavorable symp-
tom, there not being the slightest indica-
ton of peritontie. This opinion OF the
famous physician carries much weight.
Either directly or through the prime
ministers every government In Europe
has expressed its sympathy. Not only
did King Edward and Emperor William
cable direct In their own names, but the
king OF Portugal, King Oscar OF Swe-
den. tho sultaniof Turkey. President Lou
bet. of France, and the king OF Italy
have sent personal messages. These mon
archs have not hesitated to denounce In
the strongest language the deed Of the
assassin, The bulletins concerning the
presidents condition are being sent to
all these inquirers abroad Should Occa-
sion arise a contingency only consid-
cred very remote possibility. for the
vice president to discharge the duties OF

the cabinet would have to determine and

Holiday trade reached its maximum
this week, nearly all sections of the
country reporting exceptional dis
tribution, says Dun's Rerietc. While
the class of goods especially stimu-
lated by Christmas demand occupied
the position of greatest prominence,
general merchandise was not far be-
hind in activity. Transporting inter-
ests were just beginning to overcome
congested conditions, when severe
storms made the situation more COM
plicated than before. In many indus
tries it is not a question of finding
buyers, but securing TIE privilege of
postponing deliveries beyond the date
originally specified. An event of
much promise in the industrial world
was the organization of d committee
composed of representative employ
ers, labor leaders and other we'll
known men, which will endeavor to
adjust wage and other issues so as 70
avoid the losses and distress caused
by strikes. Any scheme that brings
capital and labor into closer contac ct
cannot fail to benefit both.

WEDNESDAY. DECEMBER %, 1901.
Cabinet Changes.

Changes in President Roosevelt's
cabinet, actual or prospective, have
attracted some attention of late. The
first actual break occurred in the
retirement of Postmaster General
Smith. In his letter of resignation
Mr.. Smith minated that his separa-
ton from the official family OF
the President was step taken
in fuflilment of a plan long since
formed, the execution of which
was delayed until it could be carried
out without embarrassing the Presi-
dent's declared policy and until the
department. measures in which he was
specially interested could be satisfac-
torily advanced. Mr.. Smith has made
e capable and satisfactory chief of a
department, which, while not the
most conspicuous in the list, is yet of
generally recognized Importance, and
touches the interests of the people at
many POINTS. The new head of the
department., Henry G. Payne, of Wis
NSboAh, bdo q sRCSidi
with postal affairs and administrative
ability of high order.
Close upon the heels of Mr.. Smiths
retirement, comes the report from
Washington that a change may shortly
be looked for il the secretaryship of
the treasury. Mr.. Gage, it is said, has
for some time contemplated with
drawing from public life and devoting
his attention to banking again. This
report has been denied, but it recurs
with persistence in spite of some quail
flied statements on the part of the
secretary. 1t does not appear that
