Our Jenningsco q Ora
ct La6cra," in speaking of the width
Of the public road granted by the Pc
lice Jury at its last session, casts some
reflection on it's action in granting a
road forty feet in width instead of
sixty feet, as asked for by the com.
mittee laying out the same. The Po-
lice Jury no doubt would bnt too viii
lingly have granted the request of the
committee, had their report embraced
an expression from the land owners
contiguous to the proposed. public
road, apprOpriatiug said lands for the
use of a public road (; and this may
yet be done if the proper steps are
taken, which will simply be to show
TO the Police Jury that all parties ad.
jacent to the road viii give the land.

PRESIDENTS CABINETS.

Almost every state,in the Union las
man or TWO whom it wants Mr.. Cleve-
land TO put into his cabinet, and it must
be source of regret to him that member
ship in that body is necessarily 50 res
stricted. A good many somebodies and
perhaps few uobodies viii have to be
disappointed.
Bat it is not mere aggregation Of dis
tinspished democratic statesmen that
will make the new cabinet strong. 3fr.
Cleveland must make such q jUdiciouS
chsice from among them as shall give
him the counsel and cooperation Of men
not only fitted TO do the business Of the
departments, but substantially. agreeing
with him and with one another in their
understanding of democratic principles
and policy.
The present generation IS familiar with
what may be called accidental cabinets.
Sea. Grant was a conspicuous maker Of
these Personal friendship and an ocoas>
ionsl regard for geographical considera~
tons seemed to be the. determining Csuse
OF his choice. He seldom took a man on
account of any visible qualifications, and
the members Of his. cabinet had little
unity of purpose among themselves. S-v.
eral even lost their reputation by being IN
