The reason that the Illinois legislature is
so slow in electing United States senator
is that q number of its members are deter
mined to procure the highest possible price
for their votes.
While 90 per cent Of the members
are ready TO vote for the candidates of
their respective parties, the balance is COM
posed in part of cranks who want to mani
fest their peculiarities of self-seekers who
think the lightning may strike themselves,
and of n gracelcsS set of scoun irels who
have fixed high price on their votes and
will not take less nor I've influenced by any
less dishonorable consideration.
One of these recently prepared, signed,
sealed and executed contract binding
himself for consideration Of five thousand
dollars to vote for any one whose name the

in the blank which he left fol that purpose.

No Partisan Fire Department.

1t is very gratifying to observe that so
large a number of the Republican members
OF the next councils, who have complete
control of both branches, express the opin-
ion that the fire department should be kept
out of partisan politics, and therefore that
the selection of its chief should be a gues-
ton in which no caucus limitations should
be, put upon the free choice of the best
judgment of all the members, irrespective
OF partisan or personal reasons.
That this was the understanding among
citizens and councilmen of all parties when
the department was first organized cannot
be gainsaid. Not an element of partisan
feeling entered into Mr.. Howell 5 first cleo
ton. The Democrats, who then happened
to have a majority of councils, declined to
hold caucus on the subject; and indeed.
the final choice of the convention was made
by ten Republicans and six Democrats.

LANCASTER, FEBRUARY 81, isss.
The lAfesf GneSs.

A wonderfully strong cabinet is named,
hut not as yet by Cleveland, in Dayard,
Thurman, Lamar Garland, Manning, Villas
and Adams. This latest guess is good one,
oren only to the objection that three of the
members are at present influential members
of the Senate, which will he materially
Injured by taking them out of it,
Itseems strange that il isgenerally consid-
cred that any senator will be willing TO take
a cabinet office, though the duties are much
more laborious than those Of the senator {;
and the position is really not so conspicuous
as that of senator may be made by one
who is adapted to shine in it. Lamar, for
instance, is a very distinguished man in the
Senate. His talents enable him to adorn
the place. He is an eloquent speaker
and wise man. He is good
counselor. and in that regard is excellently
fitted for the cabinet. But the president
could as well avail himself of his counsel
as senator. The chief function of the
cabinet officer is that of an executor. 1t is
very doubtful whether Lamar is fitted TO
shine in that capacity. He is a man Of
thought and IDEAS rather than of action.
The head of department must be 4 busy
and active man to do his duty we'll
Lamar may be able to meet
the demands upon him in this regard, but
certainly the duties will not be rs agreeable
to him as the more congeniM ones of the
senator. Bayard, too, will have his spurs
to win in an executive capacity. He is one
of the most distinguished senators, and to
maintain his place must show himself as
far in the front in action as in council. In
going into the cabinet he is obviously the
mouthpiece of another and stands second
to the chief. In the Senate he is himself
In the one place he is secretary, in the
other a senator. Seemingly the Senate is
the better place for the man who is able
with wise words to charm the country.
Taking the run Of secretaries, as we have
had them, they have not stood on a plane
with the great representatives of the ad-
ministration party. 1t may be that we are
going to see a change. Certainly if such a
set of secretaries is appointed as that we
have just named the cabinet will gain great
distinction from the occupants of its places
and it my excite any mans ambition to
GET into such company. Itmust be for this
reason that great senator's are ready to
put off the toga for the working jacket. II
is q good thing to elevate the standard of
the seer tary: but it is pity that the SEN
ate is robbed for the purpose. There are
SO many men outside the Senate in the
Democratic party who would make first.
class secretaries, that it seems unnecessary
to take adorning material from the Senate.
But that cabinet will lie brilliant one.
and should satisfy anyone. We are sorry
that Eaton, of Connecticut, a man who is
so wise in council, is not in it; but Adams
may prove as wise, though he is not dyed
in-the-wool Democrat.

II Is interesting to 60 over the history OF
the Washington monument, the dedication
ofwhich with much pomp and circumstance
took place today. The idea of its erection
lates back TO l7S3, when the Continental
Congress passed a resolution to that effect as
\ testimonial of its appreciation of Washing
tons services in the war that had just been
successfully closed. On Dec. p, 1877, ten
days after Washington had breathed his last,
Congress resolved that marble mOnu-
ment be erected by the United States at the
rity of Washington, and that the
monument be 50 designed as to commemo-
rate the great events of his military and
political life" Nothing, however, was done
until 1898 when an association of the citizens
of Washington was formed for the carrying
out of the original design. In 1915 the sub
scriptons amounted to SS7, 900 and its work
was begun. In isis Congress set apart
thirty acres of ground aS a site for the
monument and ON the 4th of July of that
year, the cornerstone was laid. The orator
then as now was Hon. Robert c. Winthrop,
then speaker of the House, For nearly a
quarter OF century after lSji, when the
shaft had reached a height of one hundred
and seventy-four feet, only four feet was
added to the monument. But in 1876 Con
gress assumed the cost Of Its completion, and
on December g. lSSi, the cap-stone, with its
final of aluminium, was put in place, thus
bringing the great work 10 n final close
It's dedication to-day is a sunshiny end to
long period Of storm. The national shaft at
Washington will iittingly represent the
monument to the fame of the Father of his
Country that is enshrined in the hearts of all
true Americans.

EXAMPLE is fur stronger than precept for

THE ChUctmdn makes the somewhat
superficial criticism of New York church
district that, though containinga population Of
four hundred thousand souls, it has not
church accommodations for one-fftCth of the
population. And that there are only four
Episcopal churches in the district having a
seating capacity of $500 persons. In view Q.
these facts the churchman declares mo
wonder that the assistant bishop was moved
to say that there is not to be found in any
heather land a moro distinctly missionary
field than that Four Episcopal churches in
"A population of four hundred thousand peo
pie might do for Pekir or Constantinople.
but il will never do at all for the great and
rich and Christian city of New York" This
il arrant nonsense. Churches need not be in
any but the most accessible portions of city.
That there are fewer in some parts than in
others only proves that the residents of these
sections must travel further for their spiritual
consolation. No one, for instance would
pretend to say that the Eighth ward, OF this
city, is given up to the heather, because of
the paucity of churches there. The Church
maI'S premises do not support its argument.
