a New CnbInet Onee 90 DE Made.

TheR is now every probability that
President Cleveland will have one more
Cabinet officer to appoint than any of his
predecessors. The Senate Committee has
lavorably reported bill to raise the Agri-
cultural Bureau to the dignity of an Execu-
tive department., with the same rights aud
privileges Of other Executive departments
as to seat in the Cabinet, salary, etc. This
sop TO the rural voter has been agitated for
some time, but has never before got so near
being actually rendered. There seems TO 90
little doubt but that the Senate will ratify
the action of its committee aud that tho
bill will beComea law before the close OF the
session. Instead of seven cOnundrums Mr..
Cleveland will then have eight TO solve.
Senator's who have heen questioned regard
ing the probable choice for Secretary of
Agriculture say that Senator Cockrell, of
Missouri, would naturally be the man for
the place should any of that body have any
chance at all, Senator Cockrell is the best
posted man on the subject of agriculture in
the Senate Wash. Car. Phia Times

A NAvY-YARp GRowL,

hen who Tbink That They Arc
NOT Treated Right by the Govern
meut.
Richard Riggles, q laborer in the Ordnance
Department at the Navy Yard, had his foot
SO badly crushed while in the discharge of
his duties last Saturday that it will prob
ably have to DO amputated. Riggles is a
worthy, Industrious man, and has wife
and soven children. Ho resides at Mount
Pleasant. Speaking of the unfortunate
man, one Of his fellow-workmen observed
to Critic reporter to-day; THAT man
will be docked for all the time he loses on
account of his injuries. Another evidence
of the ingratitude of republics.
"But then that is only ono case of the
kind. There are dozens of similar cases.
remember when poor George Lawrence was
killed by an explosion in the yard. The
accident happened about two hours before
quitting time. When his widow went to
draw his pay she found that the two hours
bad been deducted from his time. The
boys in the yard say that George Gates,
who was blown several feet skyward by
the same accident, was docked for the
time he was in the air. It's pretty tough
when man who risks his life in the ser
vice Of the Government is treated so badly.
There are old, gray haired men in this
yard who have been nearly all their life
here. They don't get fair show.
81 remember when Captain Casey, of the
Navy, was on duty here. He remarked one
day to one of the bosses, when speaking of
the amount of work old men were capable
Of performing, AS soon as mechanic
or labOrer in Government employ gets to be
go years old he should be dismissed the
service. | am not in favor of having these
old gray-haired follows around
Captain Casey probably forgets that when
he is a gray-haired old man and retired
from active service he will be pensioned
and maintained by the Government"

THE President-elect held a conference
with the Sage of Greystone at the latter's
residence and doubtless received valuable
course of instruction. The Difference with
which the President-elect has consulted
every party leader whose views were ent-
tied to consideration does him much credit,
Thenervo with which he will sift the chatr
from the wheat and act upon his own con-
victions will rebound much more strongly
to his honor. The statesmen who like to
pose MS Presidential advisors had better
make hay while the sun shines.

ONE editor, two gamblers, three actors,
six ministers, seven policemen and twelve
reporters were among the persons arrested
by the police for various otIenses during
three months ended December 81. An es-
teemed cotemporary bases defense of the
journalistic profession on these figures by
asserting that instead of twelve reporters
having been arrested, it was one reporter
who was arrested twelve times. 1t is not
fair to go behind the returns.

In is very evident that Englands policy

horror seldom equaled even in the history

From late British returns, tt is found
that for the year ending June 4, 1885,
Of 6s2,6 ,6s3 cattle bornin England, 134, ,94l
died Of disease. In Wales, the number
Of cattle born was Ia, ,7o2, Of which 49,
439 died. The total for Great Britain
shows that 1,O72,40 cattle were born
and that 49,, ,O56 died. The above figures
from the Drovers' Journal, furnish fine
comment on England's restrictions on
our live stock importations. Such q ter
rible per cent. of loss would seemingly
paralyzs any stock interest. Such a
showing Of fatal diseases in England
also calls for rigid quarantine measures
OH the part of our government. Nine
tenths of the disease among cattle in the
United States came originally from Eng
ish cattle and in view Of the state Of
things now prevalent there, too strict
measures cannot be adopted against
them. ,
