Dongel, an infidel of wealth and influence
in the community, attended church ior
the first time on Friday night. de sat IN

come to the altar was given, when, WIN
a loud cry for mercy, he ran Ike one
poss. ssed to the altar and knelt down. The
audience was surprised into silence for
moment. Then comprehending the
situation, broke into frenzy OF
shouting and yelling. Benches were
pulled up. Men picked up chairs ana
smashed them against the Walls,

50 il will be Judge Speer. Owing TO the
support Of the Republican Senators and
assisted by the personal friendship Of
senator Brown, Mr.. Speer has pretty
soft place, which he can probably hold as
long as he wants il. The support Of SEN
ator Brown on the Democratic side was
offset by the opposition Of Senator Hale
on the Republican side, making the con-
firmatlon practically strict party ques-
ton. Gov. Colquitt's earnest aud able
opposition to Speer's confirmation was
doubtless entirely in the interest OF his
constituency. Ii is improbable that he
had any private griefs or personal ends to
crafty. He should wish no higher praise
than the mention of the fact that he was
supported by every Democratic Senator
except his distinguished colleague. 1t

Brown to be obliged by personal friend

DEGRADING Ideals of Public Duty.

Boston AdrtFtiser Ind. ReD.)
II is patriotic to hope that Mr.. Cleveland
will make such a choice as will assure wise,
strong and honest conduct of the public af-
fairs in those particulars which are the com
mon desire of good men of all parties. If ne
does that, he viii do well, Tor a Democrat,
and should have credit for so much. There is
no easier. perhaps no surer, way of degrading
the ideals of public duty in the Republican
party than by undiscriminatlng condemna-

tnlng done by any member of another party.

Louisville Courier, Journal tDe1a.]
The fines collected from gamblers in Louis
VILE during the frst twelve months Of GOV.
Knott's administration amounted TO $ZS,OOO.
1t is asserted that in the eight years previous
only ono fine had been collected. 1t can be
said that Gov. Knott has not remltted single
fine imposed since his inauguration. This
seems to be all the reply called for by the re-
heated but inaccurate statements which for
weeks past have filed the columns of some of
our Republican exchanges.

Nothing Known About the Cabinet

Nothing known About the Cabinet.
1t is stated that Mr.. Cleveland Will an
nOunce his Cabinet this week. 1t is i'm
possible to discover on what authority
this statement is made. 1t is probable
that it is not very we'll founded, and that
nothing certain will be known about the
Cabinet until March ) or (.
The conviction appears TO be general
that Mr.. Bayard has been offered and has
accepted the state Department. There is
a story in circulation that he hesitated
so long about accepting the
place that Mr.. Cleveland threw
out hints that he was thinking of
Senator Lamar for the place in order to
force Mr. Bayard 10 a decision. The pros
pect that Mr.. Lamar would be made
Secretary of state induced Mr.. Bayard to
notify Mr.. Cleveland of his acceptance at
once. Stories Of this character, however,
are not worth much. Plenty Of them,
doubtless. are floating about Washington.
The impression is still strong that Mr..
Garland will be Attorney General. There
is now good deal of talk to the effect
that MIR. Villas, Of Wisconsin, will
be Secretary Of War, and Mr..
Manning. Of New York, will be either
Secretary Of the Treasury or Secretary Of
the Interior. In the estimation of the
gossips occupants for the other places
haYe not been decided upon. The pros
pect that MIR. Mcdonald will be ia the
Cabinet is not at all promising. In an iD-
terview at st. Louis Monday he said that
if he were asked TO take place in the
Cabinet he would respond in the affirma-
tive promptly, but that he knew Of moth
inc that justified him in thinking that Mr..
Cleveland desired him rs one Of his Off
cial household.
II seems to be understood that Mr.. Bay
ard will not be credited to the South, and
that the South will be accorded two
places. IL Mr.. Garland gets one l: is pos
sible that Gen. Lawton or Senator Jonas
will get the other. However, there is no.
thing absolutely certain yet about any
of the Cabinet appointments.
