pies. What is most desirable for the
good of the country is to have men of
elevated patriotism, and broad and
comprehensive views-men in whom
the party all over the country have con-
fidence. The recognition of any Pc
culiar locality, as entitled to a cabinet
position, would be recognizing section
alism.
The HERALD does not mean to saw
that great subdivisions of our common
land should not be considered, but, fur
Their than is indicated by the points of
ecompass,noa attention should be given
to locality. The country is so large that
superior men can always be found
north, south, east or west, and by such
grand divisions it is well to be regulated
IN selections, but to appoint minister
from Indiana, because that state gave a
majority for CLEVELAND, or from Kan
sas, because she did not, and might be
strengthened in its Democracy by the
appointment of one of her citizens,
would be sheer absurdity. The best
men are wanted from whatever states
they may be called, and as their con-
Duct is to be on the national boards they
will reflect credit or disgrace from
whatever state they may hail.
This recognition game is played to an
alarmingly silly extent all over the
union, and is by no means confined to
national affairs. When senator il to
be selected in Arkansas, for example,
he must be either from north of the
river or south of it, just as the other sem
ator is from one or the other of
those portions of the state. Arkan-
sas is not peculiar in this
respect, but every state known to the
HERALD is affected similarly in this ri
diculous and artificial system. The folly
is even continued into county organiza-
lions, and in nearly every county hay-
ing as many as two represeC tatives, the
"lower end" always claims equal dis
tribution with the "upper end" Nor
does 1T stop here even, as the HERALD
has very frequently heard the fiercest
KIND OF discussion as to which end of
the ward had most representation in the
council. All this dwarfs genuine merit
and puts qualification for office on a
most unnatural basis.
1t is to be hoped Mr.. CLEVELAND,
whose few, but very vigorous express
ions, give such promise Of a successful
administration, will frown upon so
pernicious a habit which has nothing to
commend it save antiquity. The people
want their best men, from whatever
quarter they may be had, and with this
rule of action as his guide the president
cannot stray very far from the line OF
duty.

THE Brenham Banner speaks thus en-
coursgingly of the outlook: "The farm

prosperity, is easy; il has been but lit
tie affected by the financial disorders
and manufacturing failures in the east.
The very worst result of the stagna-
ton is reinforced idleness of so many
thousand men who are willing to work,
but have nothing to do. This will prob
ably last through the winter and be at
tended by much suffering; but the
country is hopeful Of better times in the
spring, and there are good reasons for
believing that the spring. win bring with

THE troops ordered to eject the Okla
homs settlers are impressed with the
idea that the territory will soon be
opened to settlers. Instead OF driving
them of with guns they compromised
ON general fist and-skull fight, the re-
suit of which was that the military gem
uemen under LIEUT.. DAY were terribly
used up. II is said, however, that Col.
HATCH has received orders to turn out
the settlers, and that sufficient force
for the purpose will be sent from Fort
Leavenworth.
