choice of Cabinet Ministers. Geograph-
ical lines were not considered, and it was

to be chosen from the same state. When
Washington formed his Cabinet il had
but four members, the Interior Depart
ment being unknown, the War and Navy
being under one head, and the Postmaster
General being subordinate to the Treas.
ury. Nevertheless, of these four positions
he gave two to Virginia-Secretary of
State Jefferson and Attorney General
Randolph. John Adams opened his term
with two Maryland men in his Cabinet,
and he Offered the Navy to Benjamin
Stoddart of Massachusetts, while his
Secretary of State was chosen from the
same commonwealth Thomas Jefferson
began his rule with Secretaries of the
Treasury and War Departments from
Massachusetts,, and gave the Attorney
Generalship to Levi Lincoln of the same
state. His Secretary of State, James
Madison, came from Virginia, and his
head of the Navy from Maryland. Mon-
roe chose two members of his Cabinet
from Massachusetts, and John @ Adams
had two representatives of Virginia in his
| first council chamber.
Clevelend Herald: 1t will not be O
majority of two, but two majorities, that
will prevent Dakota from becoming a
State this session. One majority is in
Dakota, and it is Republican majority:
the other majority is in Congress, and it
is Democratic majority. It is hardly
to be expected that Democratic major
ity will encourage the Increase of Repub-
! lican majorities.
