TIE STAR is Lot In the business of Cabinet
making, but we take the liberty of observing
that those persons who suppose the chances of
Mr.. A. w. Campbell being called into the
Cabinet OF President GARFIELD rest entirely on
his relationship to the founder OF the religious
denomination to which the President-elect
happens TO belong are very much mistaken In
their estimate OF both the President and Mr.
Campbell So far as the endorsements OF the
press count for anything, Mr.. Campbell is
more universally recommended for such DO
sitfon than any gentleman who has yet been
named In that connection. This general and
favorable expression may be, TO be sure. due In
part TO the fact OF his long and honorable con.
nection with the press, but not entirely.
Where MIR. Campbell Is best known he Is recog.
nized as a gentleman OF very decided ability
and accomplishments, and one who Is on that
ground alone entitled TO the support OF his
friends. In brief, he Is about as we'll fitted for
a Cabinet position as any of the gentlemen
whose prospective connections With the new
administration have been so generally can
yaSSed. Then, too, he comes from the southern
section OF the country, for which a representa-.
ton Will be claimed, on the grounds alike of
geography and expediency, with the added
advantage OF having a record for political
soundnssS and consistency both before and
after the war, and for loyalty during that
period, about which there cannot be any doubt
or question. These are the things, and not
what church man attends, which the Presi
dent-elect will be likely to consider In select.
Ing his constitutional advisers

The correspondent OF a western paper writing
from New York, says: "a great crash Ia pre-
dieted few years hence In railroad affairs.
and some say that the Mexican railroad schemes
to cart goods nine thousand feet above the
level, and tnes bring them down gain, is ex-
pensiye and idioi1c, most OF the products of
Mexico growing along the fiat sea coast"
IL Is not at all improbable that the crash pre-
dieted Will come. and even earlier than ex
pected; but 1t Is not easy to see why the pro-
posed Mexican railway should be connected
with the matter In the way ir Is What Is said
about that enterprise could be said with equal
truth and force In regard to the Pacific railway
now In operation That line too, carts goods
from one sea coast to the other, nine thousand
feet above tide and down again, and yet its
shares are selling away above par. and have
been for months past There Is no good reason
that we can perceive why q line to Mexico
shouie not be, If economically built and well
managed, equally successful and profirable. n
would certainly be Of great advantage both to
the United States and that country.
