Window, of this state, to occupy the po-
si,ion 80 ably filed for the past four years
by John Sherman, the best Finance Min
lister the L. S. ever had, is no common
honor. At this time, when the financial
question is the all-absorbing topic of the
day, the Secretary of the Treasury has
the most Difficult, and responsible posi-.
ton in the Cabinet.
The appointment of Mr.. Window is a
graceful honor to his ability and charac
ter, and compliment to Minnesota-the
state of his adoplion-lhe most western
star in the constellation-of which she
may we'll be proud.
We have known Mr.. Window, during
all of his political life in Minnesota. lie
is true man, growing man, sound
Republican, who stands we'll up with the
best of our Senators in native talent, in
learning and ability. He is deserving of
this promotion, and We are glad Of the
opportunity of congra,ul ating him upon
securing it.
