THE Boston Herald is of the opinion that
Mr. Cleveland will, in making up his Cabi-
net, follow the old custom of considering geo.
graphical conditions, and will, in that case,
choose one of his advisers from New England.
Having arranged this satisfactorily in its
mind, the Herald proceeds to canvass the New
England States for Democrat competent to
take such position, but finds no one who
in intelligence and influence is a peer of the
party leaders in other sections. Says the Her
aid, boldly:
The Democratic party in the Eastern
States has not a single representative who can
be put forward as worthy to take prominent
part in new administration"
Clear judgment and great force Of charac-
ter are required of a man who is to take such
position, and because no New England
Democrat possesses such qualifications the
party should not, the Herald believes, re-
ceive recognition in the Cabinet. 1t does
not, however, give up the claim of the East
ern States to such office, but adds, after COM
ing to the sad conclusion in regard to the
Democrats:
"The man chosen from this section of the
country should be one whose integrity and in
dustry were generally recognized, and he
should be one, moreover, who would willingly
support the progressive policy outlined by his
associates in Office. This is all that we have
right to expect"
The Herald does not deny that it knows
just such man, aud if Mr.. Cleveland will
open up correspondence with that paper he
may receive an access of information. AS a
bid for Office, this Is the most direct of the
season,

A MASSACHUSETTS, preacher has been com
PEELED to resign because some of his parishioners,
who suspected that his sermons were Dor
rowed. proved such to be the case by carry
ing certain books to church with them, and COM
pairing the spoken with the printed discourses.
To say nothing of the scruples a pastor should
have against pursuing such a course of deception,
it is strange that the reverend brethren do not
consider that discovery is almost inevitable,
Even in Massachusetts, which has so large an
illiterate population, few congregations can be
found in which no members are addicted to
habits of reading.

THE Supreme Court of Illinois has already
given decision which warrants the State
canvassing board in "gOing behind the re-
turns" in order to determine whether an ell
legged return presented to them is really so or
not In the case of the people on the relation
of Michael W. Ryan versus the canvassing
board of the town of West Chicago, the Su-
preme Court said:
'The canvassing board, from the very ma
ture of the transaction, must in every case de-
termine for itself whether the papers trans
mitted to it are within the meaning of the

must be satisfied that they are genuine, and
that they purport on their face to give the
result of the election before they would be

KRNTUcKIANs are lucky in having one of their
poets in the penitentiary Concluding ten
stanza poem, he says:
Oh somebody send me a few lines of hope
From world that is hid from my view;
Oh, somebody send me a kind hopeful word,
And tell me what's best to do.
Our advice is to stay right where he is if he
values his life. In another poem he is even
worse, and says:

AS thought upon my fall
As thought of the weary, bitter time

And made vow, dear mother,
That better son I'd be,

AMONG the charitable work undertaken by
the Womens Century Club, of Philadelphia, is
that of assisting working women to collect just
claims for wages, who are themselves unable
for want of means to enforce payment by
process of law. The amounts of such claims
are usually small, and too Insignificant to
warrant private suit, but are of great i'm
portance to the poor serving woman OF laun-
dress. When woman asks aid of the society
her case is investigated and, if the claim is
found to be just, notice is sent to her en-
ployer asking him to show cause why the
money should not be paid. Often this notice
is of itself sufficient TO secure settlement,
but if not, suit is instituted without expense
to the claimant. In this way considerable
money is collected of which, otherwise work
ing women would be defrauded. The club does
not undertake to look after the claims of ser
want girls, for the reason that they are so
numerous as to involve too much labor and
responsibility, and also for the reason that
cases where wages were compensation beyond
board and lodging did not appeal so strongly
for assistance as where existence itself de-
pended upon the prompt receipt of scanty
earnings, The widening of womans sphere
of labor by no means insures justice, her in
experience and needs, on the contrary, making
her the prey of sharpers oftener than is com
monlysupposed Especiallyis this the case in
the humber occupations, and an influential
society can Go much to protect the helpless in

The Indianapolis Sentinel is the last news
paper on earth which should cast stone at
those Democratic and independent organs
which are now making life a burden to the
garrulous and harmlessly vain old relic of
1876, Thomas A. Hendricks. Unless Demo
cratic authority of the highest character is en-
tireIy at fault the Indianapolis Sentinel had
prepared an editorial of the most scorching
and bitter nature after the nominations at
Chicago, charging Mr.. Hendricks with treach
cry to Mr. Mcdonald, in the national conven-
,tiOn, and generally telling an unwhoesOme
deal Of truth for party "organ." BY some
means or other the fact that such an article
had been written and was liable to appear
came to the ear of an intimate friend of Mr..
Hendricks, who made it his immediate bust
ness to see the Sentinel management, and sf
