has made arrangements to lead tl1esn tn the

Concerning Secretary Window.

Concerning Secretary Window.
The Argus strongly objects to the appoint
ment of Senator Window to cabinet Office.
The reasons for its opposition are not clear.
Mr.. Window favored the reconciliation of
silver. So does the Argus. Mr.. Window
wanted more greenbacks. So does the
Argus. Mr.. Window shared in Judge
Blacks dread of corporations. So
does the Argus. II cannot be that
the Argus looks upon the appointment
OF the new Secretary with disfavor just be-
cause he is a Republican; for it certainly
could not expect President Garfield to
choose Democratic cabinet. What are its
objections?
The position the Secretary took in regard
to the silver coinage when he was Senator is
OF little consequence now. That metal has
been remonetized, and its use as money is
no longer in question. There is no proba-
bility OF further issue of an irredeemable
paper currency; so his views about that are
not OF present interest. The question of
monopolies is, however, live question,
and the opinions held by the head of the
Treasury Department may have consider
able influence on legislation. Last month
MIR. Window wrote letter to Mr.. Chitten-
den, President of the ''National Anti-Mo-
nopoly League" in which he not only took
strong ground against the abuses and ag-
gressions of corporate power, but expressed
the belief that the evils coming from that
power can only be done away with by the
sharp and immediate exercise of govern
mental authority. Restrictive legislation,
in his opinion, is the only remedy. Does
the Argus take issue with him on this point?

New YORK Tribune: No Republican has

call for an investigation of the charge of
Prof. Hind, that the data on which the Hal
flax award was based were fraudulent 1t
is due to the British government, not less
than to our own, that the truth Or falsity of
Kinds allegations should be established.
The Halifax award was a monstrosity. 1t
is not difficult to believe that there was
some improper influence in the matter. If
the figures on which the calculation was
made were fabricated to deceive the commits
sion, the whole business becomes entirely
comprehensive. There will be no cessation of
the demand for investigation, until Kinds
statements are shown to be false, and if
they are not true, their libellous character
can be readily shown.''
