THE FARMER AND THE CABINET.

The Venerable Thurlow Weed. upon
the authority of New York daily, de-
elares that the Cabinet is already large
enough, and that Instead of being rep
resented in the Cabinet the Agricultural
Department should be abolished. The
s5SS, $50 which he understands to be the
amount Of money to be expended by the
department next year will be almost
thrown away. he thinks, and he recon-
mendS that the promotion of agricultu-
raj interests be left to the State govern
ments. 1t may be that the 4 Agricultural
Department has often been extravaeant.
and that its usefulness has not been as
great as it ought to have been, but let
it be reformed, not abolished. There
certainly is need Of a, national agency
for the collection and dissemination of
information not easily accessible to, but
much needed by, farmers. The work
can be done better and more economical
ly by national than by State authority.
As to the Cabinet, the agricultural inter
ests of the country are so overwhelming
ly greater than any other that it is the
right of farmers to have representation
in the Cabinet, if such representation
will do them any good. Evidence has
not yet beeti presented to show that it
would. What the farmers need is not a
place in the Cabinet, bat an efficient and
economical administration of the ex-
isting Agricultural Department.

THE PENSION BURDEN.

The 500, 900, 900 appropriated by the
Pension bill now before Congress is al
most equivalent to q tax of 500 upon
every man. woman, and child in the
United States And it is not burden
to be borne but a single year. In addi-
ton to The regular annual payments of
pensions, arrears of pensions aggregat-
ins nearly 800 600, 600 must be paid dur
ing the next three OF four years, SO that
the pension burden is monstrouS. No
patriot would complain if the money
were to go to none but worthy pension
ers. but beyond all question a large part
of the appropriation will be the reward
of fraud pure and simple. 1t would be
rash to give the probable proportion of
frauds among the invalids who are to
receive &14, 900. 900 of the proposed ap-
preparation, the widows. children, and
dependent relations who are to receive
81, 900, 900. and similar naval pensioners
who are to receive $500, 900; but no
doubt it is large. 1t is iamentable that
the nation should be so badly plundercd
through its worthy purpose to care for
its disabled soldiers and sailors When
ever the pension burden is pushed into
view at Washington. ii should be made
the occasion for warnings to the people
against the knaves who are alert to make
every department of the government
serve their corrupt schemes.

FIVE WEEKS FROM NEXT FRIDAY.

Five weeks from next Friday will be
the last day of June. 1t will also be the
last day of Guiteau. The decision OF the
Judges will not be formally announced
until next week: but it is reported, on
authority worthy OF credcnce, that they
are unanimously of the opinion that no
reason exists why the sentence by Judge
Cox upon the assassin of President Gar
field should no t be executed at the time
designated. 1t is reproach to our .jur-
ispIudence that Guiteau is permitted to
live until within two days of the ami
versary of his enormous crime, but the
prospect of relief from Guiteauism is so
gratifying that little will be said during
the next five weeks of the injurious
effects of the delay of justice in his case.
The scandal Of the assassin's life in jail
and the disgusting domestic exhibitions
of other members of the Guiteau family
have made the whole nation impatient
for the end of the loathsome business.
At the gallows in Washington, five weeks
from next Friday, Guiteau will drop into
eternity and his family will drop back in

CANCELLATION FOR THE IRISH PEOPLE
BUT WAR AGAINST CRIMINALS.

Has Mr.. Gladstone abandoned the pol
icy of concilation
Nothing that Mr.. Gladstone OF any
member of his government, has said, has
authorized the formation of the theory
that his policy of Cancellation would in
volve tenderness to assa ssins and other
criminals against society or would stand
iii the way of the most vigorous meas
ures to punish and prevent crime-not
political crime, but that which is against
the common law of all civilized countries.
Nor could any rational and thoughtful
man expect that peaceful solution Of
the difficulties that have existed and been
getting worse for centuries, would be
reached easily and swiftly. because Mr..
Gladstone and Mr.. Parnell had occupied
common ground for little while, and
sought each others cooperation.
Irish grieyanc IS still exist, and so do
Irish plots, violence. secret associations.
fostering prejudices, long cherished ma
lisnites. English preiudices, pride, self
ishness and " bull-headedness' have not
ceased or become materially lessened
Parnell cannot act in accordance with his
own convictions and sentiments, without
risking his hold on his eoRntrymen.
Gladstone cannot pursue the policy of
open magnanimity and liberal conceS-
sions of reform. on the one side. and Of
open war against criminals and their
abettors, on the other, without being
simultaneously abused as coercion
ist'' and weak sentimentalist. He
has to perform the most difficult problem
OF modern, or ancient times, under the
criticism of daily papers that insist on
Judging by that small segment of the arc
Of the great circle he is trying to describe,
which happens to be included within the
twenty-four hours preceding each issue
of these daily oracles OF G,.Hiscience.
After all it is question of personal
feelings. wishes, tendencies and methods.
as regards Mr. Gladstone ana his repre-
sentatives lii Ireland. that we mnst main
ly consider and try to understand, while
the crowded succession Of variously in
terpreted events are the subjects of duly
comment OF Mr.. GladStone's S desire to
conciliate. rescue and save Ireland there
can be no doubt. As Lincoln used force
on the road to 1.-THE era OF eoneiliatiOn," :"
so Gladstone has done and will do. And
as Cancellation was the master feeling in
Lincolns heart long before Lees surren-
per, so it is now in Gladstone's great ma
ture.

FOR POLAR EXPLORERS.

Franklin and DeLong and many other
brave explorers have perished of Arctic
hardshipS, but ten times as many deaths
equally horrible would not dissuade men
from the attempt to reach the North
Pole. The most that we can hope to do
is to reduce the perils of Arctic explora-
lion by adopting such improvements in
rhe equipment of expeditions as science
may suggest. Master Lucien Young, of
the navy, who wishes to join the expedi-
ton for which Congressman Calkins' bill
provides, recommends that two stations
of supplies be established, to which eX
plprers may resort when in condition
similar to that of the crew of the Jean
ncttc when they landed at the mouth of
the Lena river, lie would have one sta
lion on the western coast of Greenland,
and another further north, at Lady
franklin Bay. 1t is not too much to say
that another Polar expedition should not
Dc permitted to go out without such a
provision for the safety OF its members.

eN cry man VINO had 4 iHca sure before the
Legislature. and the sum of whose cX-
tortions from the hard earnings of the
people Of the State, through party =
channels at the State Capital, confounds
arithmetic. Well may the Baltimore
SIM, that conservative Democratic jour
nal, express the apprehension lest those
who by their evil practices. in the past
have made reform political necessity
should be found seeking to use and per
vert the cause Of reform for their own
purposes.
There is an old SAYING about stealing
the livery of Heaven to serve the devil
in. Some of the old hunkers of politics,
recruited by ambitious free lanccrs in
the field Of politics, may possibly be
found marching under the banner and
shouting the watch-woruS OF reform.
with no other view than to make the
cause Il stalking horse to personal ends.
1t may be. though We trust not, that
Governor Hamilton himself may yet
have reason to say, Save me from my
friends that is. from some who usurp
the place and title. We will hope that
the people will have no cause to say
Save us from the Retormers that is.

THE COMET AND THE STORM.

Perhaps Mr.. Nennor will explain why
it did not happen to be warm to hot
about the 18th and 18th, and why brush
fires failed to rage in some sections, by
saving that the comet has mixed the
seasons up so that no prophet can pre-.
serve his reputation without preserving
silence. And it may be that the comet
really is the cause of the remarkable
weather. Astronomers agree that comets
may effect great climatic changes, and
comets have been numerous and the be-
havior of the weather very strange during
recent years. The comet which is now
rapidly approaching the sun TO degree
of proximity which some scientists have
affected to consider alarming. is thought
to have had something to do with the
magnetic storm which produced the al
most unprecedented auroral display of
April 16, and it may have had some part
in the production of the great May storm
which has inst ended, after four nights
aud three days of almost incessant rain.
Some remarkable cause is needed to ac-
count for SO remarkable storm. The
cold and the strong wind have been ai-
most a. remarkable as the rainfall itself.
