as a member of his Cabinet. If Mr..
Evarts is made Secretary of State the
Secretary of the Treasury cannot be taken
from New York. Senator Sherman is, per-
haps, the best qualified man in the republi-
can party for that great position. His long
service as chairman of the Finance Com
mittee of the Senate has made him more
familiar than any other man in the country
with the range of questions which
come within the province of a Secretary
of the Treasury, and. as pronounced hard
money man, he represents the views Of Mr..
Hayes But Mr.. Hayes cannot select two
Cabinet officers from his own State. If he
gives the Attorney Generalship to Judge
Matthews he cannot appoint Senator Sher-
man Secretary of the Treasury But If Mr..
Matthews should prefer Judge Davis vacated
seat in the Supreme Court there would be
no obstacle to making Mr.. Sherman Secre-
tary of the Treasury if the President should
judge that appointment wise. The two
great places in the Cabinet are the Foreign
Affairs and the Treasury, and in the next ad-
ministration the last Of these will be more
important than the first, inasmuch as
there are not likely to be any critical
foreign questions, while the princi-
pal task of the new administration
will be to refund the national debt
and restore specie payments. President
Hayes might do great deal worse than to
make Mr.. Sherman Secretary of the Treas
ury, and we do not see how he could very
we'll do better. When he shall have selected
able heads for the State Department. and the
Treasury Department the other Cabinet
places will be distributed with reference to
geographical and party considerations, as
usually happens in all administrations.
