THE CAHsENEE.

The Cabinet selected by President
and confirmed by the Sen
ate is as follows:
Secretary of State.-THos. F. BAY
ARD, Delaware.
Secretary of Treasury.-DANIEL
MANNING, New York.
Secretary of Interior.-L. @. c.
LAMAR, Mississippi.
Attorney General. --AUGUsT H.
GARLAND, Arkansas.
Secretary of Navy.-WILLIAM c.
WHITNEY, New York.
Secretary of War.-WILLIAM c.
ENDIcoTT. of Massachusetts.
Post Master General.-W. F. vi
Las, of Wisconsin.
It is a solid and competent Cabi
net and q harmonious body of plain.
practical, common sense advisers,
Just what President Cleveland de-
sired to have, and it will give the
country an honest, practical ami
common sense administration. No
n will question the fitness of Mr.
Bayard TO take charge of the foreign
relations Of the country, and no bet
ter selection for the Treasury could
have been made than Mr.. Manning.
He is a gentleman Of energy judg
ment, moderation and dignity, and is
just the person to ferret out the pee
u~la.ion and ~rascaiity that has been
going on in that department for the
last twenty years.
Mr.. Lamar is a man of genius and
will have a sharp eye for the rings
tiers and jobbers thet have had things
their own way SO many years.
Mr.. Garland is a lawyer of great
ability and scholarly attachments
aud under his jurisdiction there will
be no deputy marshals bull doing
and interference in state elections.
Put that down.
Mr.. Whitney who takes the Navy
Department, is comparatively a
young man, but will fill the position
to the public advantage and use the
means put init. his hands to restore
the navy to its original purpose
| Ring contractors will IT ceive no
countenance under Mr.. Whitney's ad
ministration.
Senator Lamar is a representative
of the best element in American poll
tics to day. He is respected by both
friends and enemies, and no mar can
point to a single dark spot in his
character or record. The affairs OF
the Interior Department are vast and
complicated, ard we + sure they
will be we'll conducted by the new
Secretary. The swindling Indian
agents grown up in this department
viii get no more quarters.
SIR. Endicott has gained distinc-
ton as a Judge. He is a conserva
tive Democrat and is n gentleman o!
high character aad reputation in his
own State. No more cliques and
combinations of army men under Mr..
Endicott. .
Mr.. Villas is the most influential
member of the Cabinet. No other
member of it comes 80 mach in con
tact with the people, or holds such
means of affecting the acts of his
party. 1t is safe to predict that there
will be no star route ~rascality under
his administration of affairs.

not recove any of it back, as a de-

The fire began in the boiler room near the center and front of the building and had got well under headway before it was discovered by Q boy employed about the place named Farrell The latter immediately gave an alarm and soon several people were on the grounds, and much of the belting, light machinery and tools were saved, but as no water could be got, all the people present could do was to stand and see the place burn to the ground. How the fire originated is 8 mystery. The loss to the building is about $2 ,000 and to the machin- cry about $1 ,500; insurance $3,000.
