Michigan" Mr.. Goodwin should Dot be
too sangmne. Mr. BurIingame felt HIM
self iuat a. certain OF becoming Collector
Internal Revenue. but
CosakE-r,,S A. kRAaAN, OF Texas, has
endured this slow-golng Administration
as long a. possible, aud nov he kicks,
and kicks terribly. He says there isn't
Democrat ia the Cabinet and that Gar
land Is a Black Republican. This recalls
tho remark of Congressman Comstock
that a certain appointment was Repub-
lican victory Until the present Admin
istratiOn Is very materially reformed, the
Republican party would prefer not 10
have It's asts imputed 10 that patty.
SosfE interesting legal questions are
liable 10 anse from the passage Of the
anti-oleomargarine bill By the Legisla-
ture of this State THE TELEGRAM has
already called attention 10 the uneonsti-
tutionalry Of she prohibition OF the man

Legislature determined to pass the bill,
succeeded IA getting an amendment
through which provides that the manu-
factarers shall be- paid by the State for
the machinery used in the business. The
Free Prsss. which. unless our memory Is
very much az fanlt, advocated the bill
when 10 was before the Legislature, now
says % the decision in New York State:
NO impartial. fair-minded person can
read the decision without feeling that it
~ sound in principle and the Supreme
Court Of Michigan, composed as it is Of
fair-minded men. Is not likely to reach
any different conclusion" and also raises
the point that II the manufacturers de
cline 10 test the constitutonality OF the
laS. the right of the State authorities 10
spend the public money for the purpose
% buying the plant - the ranufacturers
may be and should be tested in court.
The point IL well taken. The question
should be settled. II this bill is consti-
tutional. then Legislature ny pro-
hibit the baking % corn bread and buy
all the oveis in which It is baked
Az occasional correspondent OF the
New York sun says some very interest
ing things IN regard To the relations ex-
isting between ire President and Secre-
tsry Bayard. as the following extract
viii prove.
All is rot harmony in the Cabinet and the
President is troubled He a not az one with
me Secretary 0f State. and the differences
that have arisen vii not be mitigated by
time or obhtereted IA the progress of the
ADMINISTRATOR.
Mr. Bayard's course ia regard 20 appoint
neuts and the general spirit IN which he has
conducted the department have been a great
slilappointment % the President and 20 some
other members Of the Cabinet Mr. Bayard.
hey gay. has proved capricious and uncer
.aiu, his course has not been guided by any
ixed policy 90 ioVical purpose. and he Is de
rltrett to De- Che one dissentient and per
nanently nharmOninus element in the Ad-
ministrstion.

lstive. and no degree ~ patience ieniency.
