CABINET-MAKING.


Cabinet making for the President elect goes
on at a lively rate. Senator Garland of Arkan-
is the latest aspirant for the Attorney
Generalship. Lamar's home organ announces
nor wants anything. In the meantime Cleve
land Is attending to his Executive duties as
usual. and maintaining his characteristic silence.
II Is understood that he will resign the Cover
norship about Jan. 1. when he will be succeeded
by the present Lieutenant Governor, David Il.
Hill, also a Democrat.
A Washington telegram says It rs under
stood that the friends of Senator A. II. Garland
will push him for Attorney General in Cleve-
lands Cabinet, his selection to the posi-
ton to represent the South in the in
coming Democratic administration. Garland ia
a moderate Democrat of marked ability, and
has won distinction in the Senate chamber. The
matter IL the chief topic of conversation here,
and has created a considerable hutter in politi-
cal circles IL also has double significance, as
his retirement from the Senate would require the
next Legislature to select tive United States
Senators instead of one

that much is generally conceded it as moder-

net raises too great howl among the bloody

yet entirely one of speculation and guesswork,
and will remain so for some time.

American Meats i'm Germany.

the Commissioner of Agriculture says: $50
far rs could observe it was generally con-
coded that whenever an inspection of our
pork is made under careful governmental
supervision, similar TO that now made by the
German authorities, there will be no objec-
ton to its sale in Germany. Indeed, il
strikes me that were such inspection made
there would be such strong pressure
brought to bear upon the Ger
man Government by their own
people that the embargo would be speedily
removed Should further experiments con-
firm what has been already partially shown,
that thorough curing in salt destroys the
vitality of trichin@ If not entirely, ut least,
to so great a degree as to reduce the danger
from meats that have been thoroughly
cured by this process to almost nothing, il
will doubtless be strong point in our
favor, and proper presentation of the facts
to the German Government. should this be
clearly proven, ought mt once TO be made.
Until this fact is clearly established, how
ever, and in absence of any pretense Of
inspection Of American meats, either un-
der governmental or individual supervis-
ion. the position of the German Govern
ment is obviously sound upon this ques-
ton, and cannot be assailed without first
demonstrating that their own inspection is
useless"

THE LOSER.
Mr.. Blaine Discusses and Explains the
Causes of His Defeat.


The Boston Journals special correspondent
at Augusta Me-, has had long conversation
with James G.. Blaine. The defeated candidate,
who, by the way, appeared In the best of health,
said that, whatever might be the final result of
the count in New York, he had had from the
first no other desire tnan that a fair count
should be made SO far as he was personally
concerned, he would be content with either
victory or defeat. Success would not elate
him and defeat would not depress him.
He was engaged in congenial and profitable
work, which had been interrupted by the cam
paign. and the deep regret that he would feel at
Democratic triumph would be altogether for
his party and his country, not for himself Il

Blaine added, after long pause, and have too
keen a sense OF its burdens, its embarrassment
and its peTs to 6e Gnduy for Tor the

Blaine said We'll, considering the loss by

THE SPOILS.
what n Republican Correspondent Says of
Cleveland's Policy.

A Washington correspondent Of the Chicago
Inter Ocean, stawart Republican, telegraphs
as follows: Many of those Democrats who have
been hungering and thirsting for the Federal
fiesh-pots for so many years have already in
figurative sense taken up the line OF march for
the national capital. IL will save the over
anxious ones considerable labor and
worriment TO be informed that Governor Cleve-
land has positively instructed his secretaries at
Albany TO destroy, without showing TO him, all
letters applying for Office The score or more
of applicants for Cabinet positions will please
take notice"
The following reply TO an inquiry sent to
George William Curtis by Government en-
ploye at Washington has been made public:
WEST NEW BRIGHTON. New York. Nov. IA.
DEAR SIR. have your letter of the 18th
There Is no doubt that Mr. Cleveland will en-
counter a tremendous demand for clean sweep
but think that, while changes will be. and
ought to be, made for perfectly legitimate rea-
sons. he will respect the letter and spirit of the
reform law, and that non-political officers who
have been honest and effective in dis
charge of their duty, and who have not mis-
used their positions for party or political ends,
will not be arbitrarily dismissed for political
reasons. 1 have no authority to speak for Mr..
Cleveland. My fai h is founded upon the sole
knowledge Of his character and convictions.
Truly yours, GEORGE WILLIAM CURTIS.

How TO Treat Books.

Very few people treat books we'll;
indeed, there is no variety OF portable
property that is so persistently abused
as books.
A great many owners of books have
a habit of writing their name on GER
tain page-the twenty-fifth, for instance
or on the title-page, in bold, plain
hand, with ink This is not way to
be esteemed, even if the book were
never to change its owner. But all
books, first or last, do change their
owners, and pass into new hands.
If book is so marked, unless the
autograph is noted one like Ralph
Waldo Emerson" or Charles Dickens"
the damage the writing of the name
confers is decided and positive. If it
is necessary to signify the ownership of
book, let it be done by printed
book-plate pasted on the cover mod
estly, or by simple pencil mark,
which will last sufficiently long for all
practicable purposes. If people would
only remember that books are prop
erty, and are frail, and need the most
iudicious treatment, they would greatly
subserve their own interests, where they
own book, and promote personal regard
for themselves, and the advancement
of civilization where they borrow one.
But books are handled sometimes
with as little care as mason uses when
he handles bricks. They are twisted
and turned backward; the leaves are
thrust through the fingers and played
with as if they were toys. We have
seen them used to set under window
and hold it open, and laid carelessly
on the floor and left to be stumbled
over by the not very guilty pedestrian,
who may very well plead that they
should not have been placed where his
feet could have reached them. There
are still some who turn down leaf and
crease the page to show where they left
off reading, or to mark some memorable
passages. This is, of course, vile bar
barism, and leaves an indelible blemish.
1t is utterly inexcusable, too, from the
fact that it is entirely unnecessary. A
book mark, which may be simple
piece of paper, is all that Is needed for
preserving the place. and pencil mark,
lightly made here and there, and which
can be easily removed, will enable the
reader to turn to all passages to which
he may need to go back for reference.
1t is almost as needful to know how
to treat book as it is to know how
to treat a person; and it would not
be amiss If in our schools, where books
first begin to be used, children should
be taught the precise care to be given
them. The things objectionable to
which they are subject are numerous,
and, with proper rules, early instilled,
q new generation might be trained to
treat book as-supposing the places
to be changed-you would have book
treat you. For those who have al
ready been i'll trained, or who do not
have a proper instinct in the matter,
there is probably no help, and moth
ing can be done-except simply to see
to it, as far as possible, that your books
are kept out of their hands.

The Northern Press.

There is not going to be political reaction in
the direction OF Bourbonic theories, policies, and
practices. 1t Is gratifying TO observe that the
organs OF opinion in the most B0urbohic part OF
the country are now generally inclined 20 accept
unalterable facts, stop trying TO make history,
and quit combating the Observation-Disclosures

No colored man need fear that his race Is to
be permanently injured by the success of any

labor is needed to develop the resources OF the

The contest il over, and Cleveland is elected
President. The result may be attributed to
various causes. The treachery OF Republicans
sufficient in numbers to turn the scale in New
York, the surrender OF the Prohibitionists to
the rum Headers, the Delmonico banquet and
the impression it conveyed, and the injudicious
and unjustifiable utterance of feeble man
each of these causes singly was enough to at
feet the verdict which has been passed. The
most senseless ana Illogical opposition, and
probably the most fatal, was the vote Of the
Prohibitonists. They have no excuse to offer
for their action. They knew the effect of their
vote before casting it. 1t could by no possibility
do aught but harm to the Republican party.

men of the Prohibition party have to thank the
fanatics for the wrong they have brought upon
them. -BOstOn journal tRep.)
