THE NEW ADMINISTRATION

| Speculatons as to who shall constitute the
political circles. From the prominent men
mentioned President Garfield will have no
trouble In securing the number he desires to
aid him in considering questions of national
importance and at the same time procure for
the heads of departments men of acknowl-
edged ability and conceded integrity. That
| the selections for Cabinet officers will be ju-
dicious no one familiar with tbs views of
Garfield will doubt. Unhestatingly firm in
convictions formed only after mature deliber.
alton and interchange of views with leading
men he will be found by those who antici-
nafa In l.;ra -~~-ss- a. s-i--ia A. .a~s-
opinions, of an entirely different character.
A love Of peace and harmony predominates
In his nature, but he possesses that eminent
ly desirable trait of having what we are apt
to term backbone" And this Is right. The
Chief Executive of the United States holds a
position mere honorable than can be bestow-
ed by any other country; thus honored 1t
becomes duty to rule wisely and well, to
eschew all political intrigues, to act in the
knowledge that this Is a government for the
people and not for the political demas ogues
and place hunters who swarm in the Nation
al Capital! =. ~. IL ... ..s
The dispatches indicate that Senator
Blaine has been offered the Secretaryship Of
State and has intimated his willingness to
accept. Blaine has sufficient knowledge of
the duties of the Office to acceptably fill the
position, while many years Of public life have
given him an insight into the affairs of the
country at large possessed by few men. But
1t Is not likely he will accept a position un-
der the man who defeated him. Ambitious
to himself have the power to appoint the Of
fcers Of the Cabinet, We believe Blaine pre-
fes waiting another four years In anticipa-
ton of his election TO the Presidency. The
fact that lie intends spending the summer In
Europe gives color to this statement. Levi
p. Morton, of New York, will be offered the
Secretaryship Of the Navy. This position
was heretofore offered him by President
Hayes, but was declined. 1t Is uncertain as
TO whether the Pacific Coast will be awarded
the Postmaster eneralship or the Attorney
Gencralship. Senator Horace Davis, Of Cal
ifornia, Is mentioned for the first position,
while Samuel Wilson, Of San Francisco, one
Of the most prominent lawyers of the Pacific
Coast, Is urgently pushed for the Office of At
torney-General. In the event either Office Is
awarded to the Coast 1t will be new depart
ure In making Cabinet appointments. Pres
ident Garfield has sufficient knowledge of
mcnin public life to make appointments cred
table to himself aud the country III.

jury to Butte. While It does not say so the
Butte paper endeavors to convey the impress
sion that the amount will haze to be paid by
the taxpayers, and makes the expenses of the
trip appear over double what they really
were. Apevenion of facts is no argument
In favor OF division.

Miserable weather.

To-day certainly caps the climax Of
the miserable weather that has pres
vailed almost constantly during the
past week. For awhile this morning
there was delightful uncertainty as
to whether IL was going 10 rain or clear
of, but finally every prospect Of the
latter contingency faded away and the
rain commenced to fall with dismal
steadiness. All morning 1t continued
and soon the streets were swimming
in mud, while muddy rlvulets trickled
across the pavements, rendering pc
destrianism anything but pleasant.
Those whose unfortunate condition In
life compelled them to be out, hurried
along with all possible speed, pro-
tected by umbrellas and gum coverings,
while the more favored detied the
el, ments beside coxy fresides, aided
by books, papers aud the other com
forts that wealth provides.
The city presented a dismal aspect
all day. Business was almost at a
standstill, except in the manufacturing
establishments, while along the
wharves the shipping appeared almost
deserted in the pouring RAIN. The
clouds wept continuously, End snfier-
ing humanity endured the manifold
discomforts of their lot and menta ly
classed to-day at the most unpleasant
aud dismal of the season.

Fish Culture on Long Island.

Messrs. r. B. Roosevelt, Seth Green

They propose TO commence work at all
early day, and will have the buildings
In readiness for the reception OF fish by
spring. William Furman, who for many
years has owned trout preserves at
Maspeth, owing to his heavy LOSES at
the hands OF poachers has moved his
establishment and fish to the Smithtown
River, where he has erected several
haiching shanties. he is baving a bc at
built to take his fish alive to the New
York market. Mayor Grace, of New
York, is having trout preserve to cost
$1,000 built on his place al Great Neck.
Trout ponds are alsO to be built Oh tho
farm OF General Casey, at West Deer
Park. In several Of ,he ponds on the
south side OF the island that have been
depleted by cells and pike the German
carp has been introduced with success.
