President Garfeld's Cabinet. nominated on
Saturday afternoon. aud Immediately confirm
ed BY the Senate, is, on the whole. a strong
one. As the eve runs down the list of names.
the first fact that arrests the attention is that.
with perhaps one or two exceptions, the
President has made the most of the material
he had At his hand. He has placed the most
popular republican in the country, James G.
Blaine. at the heal. the man who. of all
Others in the country. has the largest and
most enthusiastic following. who himself
possesses the qualities of leader in mos,
eminent degree. aud whose word made Gen.
Garfeld's nomination at Chicago possible.
1t was a foregone conclusion. when the
wires at midnight on election day,
last November. clicked the news over
the country that the Republicans had
again triumphed. that Mr.. Blaine would
be the most influential man in the coming ad-
minstration, and must have any position in
its gift which he would consent to ill. His
appointment places that administration in the
front Of the republican party, and ensures the
active support Of that large part of the party
which is accustomed to follow where Mr..
Blaine leads. In this respect, Gen. Garfeld's
government will be in marked contrast with
that of his predecessor, which never had
powerful partisans. In his special duties as
Secretary of State. Mr. Blaine will make a
record that will attract the attention of the
world. His quickness Of decision, his in
slant grasp Of all great questions, his bril-
liancy Of execution, will make the State De
partment what il has not been since the war.

Report Of State Prison Committee.

The Joint Standing Committee on State
Prison. in their report made to both branches
of the Legislature recommend that an appro.
prlaiion he made sufficient to liuuiiate the
old Indebtedness of the prison. amonDti1r in
the aggregate to s5l, 1885, upon which in
terest is due at six per cent. They call at
tention to the fact that while the State has
been enabled TO procure loan at four per
cent. one of its institutions has actually been
paying two per cent. more than the
State itself, and the Committee
point out the fact that this is not the only
loss to the State, which is directly cbarpcabIe
to the continuance of this Indebtedness. As
IN order to sell the products of the prison
workshops at profit, the stock should be
purchased for cash only, and the ruinous
credit system should be suppressed.
In regard to tue past management of tho
prison, the committee are in doubt as to the
propriety of their passing judgment. But
duty prompts them to say that the present
management must lead to better results in
the future. Deducting the assets i'm
medlately convertible. from the old
Indebtedness. and it becomes necessary
TO make an appropriation of 1000.
iN" ainouh1 the committee recommend
ne appropriated, $4,000. for payment of old
ihaeotedhess. and poo for accrued interest
on same, both sums to be expended under
the direction of the Governor and Connc;I
Inc committee also recommend an appropria.
ton OF $1,000 for repairs, and 500 for the
prison library, both sums to be expended under
the direction of the Warden Of the prison
making tile aggregate amount asked for nv

OF which sum resolve has been introduced
in the Legislature.

The New Cabinet.


The Inaugural was an inspiration and the
Cabinet is a triumph Its construction shows
skill courage and wisdom. 1t recognizes
and unites all elements of the party. Ii EN-
braces Blaine men. Grant men and Independ-
ent men, but with such Judgment as to make
them homogeneous body. Ii IL strong in
representative force, strong in individual fit
ness and strong in popular confidence.
IL satisfies the party feeling
which demanded earnest, positive re-
publicans and satisfies the broader public
sentiment which calls for the highest stand
ard of service. President Garfield shows in
the Cabinet,ss in the Inaugural and liz all his
public lite. that he is in full sympathy with
the best impulses and aspirations of Repub-
licanism. In calling about him the WORTH
est representatives of its various elements he
has secured the support of Il united party and
the approval of intelligent and patriotic pub
lie sentiment.
The selection of Mr.. Blaine for the State
Department illustrates the same wise policy
which MIR. Lincoln pursued in calling Mr.
Seward to the same place. Mr.. Blaine holds
very much the same relation to the party
which Mr.. Seward held--its popular idol its
dominant political chief with great personal
following: n bold. brilliant. versatile, argres-
sive leader, whose commanding genius gives
him the foremost place. II is not in his
forccfnl nature to 10 mere Secretary--he
will rather be the Richelieu of the Admins
trstion; yet a Richelicu under the guidance
of prudent and accomplished ruler. Ii may
be thought that his dashinx. heroic. dramatic
style is unsuited to a place which requires
reserve aud diplomacy but his extraordinary
powers are equal to any demand. He will
not be rash and impulsive. and. on the other
hand, he will not be tame and vapid. He
will give us vigorous administration the
American flag will be npheld; American in
terests will be protected: our fishery rights
will not be sacrificed; and our rightsul as
tendency will be asserted over the American
continent.

Confederate Coupon Bonds.

A short time ago there was held in Eng
land what was known as the convention OF
English creditors of the late Confederate
States of America, and it was determined
to petition the legislatures of the southern
states to liquidate the debt. This it seems
has infused some of the bankers of the
country with spirit of speculation, as
will be seen by the following telegram from
the banking house of Raphael j. Moses, Jr.,
81 Wall street, New York:

New YORK, October 10.-Wire us night
message as to the amount of Confederate
coupon bonds you can buy for 81 so per

among political leaders in the republican

There is one object of land league en-
deavor which must command universal APP
proval in this country, and which is widely
sympathized with in England. This is the
establishment Of manufactures. Industrial
development, no less than the reform Of the
land system. is a necessity for the island.
Recognizing this fact, the lord lieutenant
and the land league are for once co-Operat-
ing and the movement in favor OF increase
of trade and manufactures is attaining con-
siderable proportions. A scheme for a ma
tional fair. 10 be held next year, has
already been devised. and a handsome
guaranty fund has been secured, with
the two ruling powers, the gov
eminent and the League, subscribers on
$500 apiece. Nevertheless, English pubic
opinion declares in advance o. must he
admitted with much FEASIBILITY that, 20
far as ultimate results arc concerned. All
tIlese efforts will come to naught. Similar
exertiOns with the same object IN view ana
