THE NEWEST CABINET.

The latest Cabinet that has been de-
vised and arranged for President Cleve-
land is one which comes from ALBANY
in our telegraphic dispatches, as fol-
follows; Secretary of State, Bayard;
Treasury, Manning; Interior, McDon-
aid; Navy, German; War, Thurman
Postmaster-General, Villas. And
grand Cabinet it would make, full of
the best brains and broadest states
manship in the country. There is Just
one little change that could be made
with advantage. 1t is seen that nobody
has been designated for the Attorney
Generalship; Mr.. Cleveland will oblige
the country and make a Cabinet that is
pretty nearly perfect, by making Col
Villas his law adviser, and DR.. George
/. Miller, the brilliant editor
Of the Omaha Herald, Postmaster
General. Some of the friends OF the last
named gentleman are urging his name
apon Cleveland for the position .indi-
Gated DR.. Miller is and ever has been
one Of the firm pillars OF Democracy in
the west, always faithful to the cause
and vigorous and able his adyocacv-of
popular right. Among his warm person
al and political friends are those staunch
political chieftians, Samuel ]. Tilden
and Horatio Seymour, who have long
honored him with their confidence. tits
due to the far west that it be recogn-
lied by Mr.. Cleveland, and. his selection
could not fall more appropriately than
upon Or. Miller. Not that the POST
master Genera'ship would be any addi-
tional honor for the Doctor, whose pre-
sent position as editor Of the Omaha
Herald. the great organ of Democracy
for the western region, is about as ele-
waited place as a man can attain; for
him to go from the tripod to the Cabi-
net would be a sacrifice, but such a
sacrifice as his friends would like to see
him nake for the good Of the country.

$24S. II per head to convert TO. the Con-
gregational belief; $592O3 per head to
the Episcopaliani 1924 81 per head to the
Presbyterian; Sl17.91 to the Method
ist, and only $27.05 to the Bap-
fists. The Baptist missionaries
converted 1881 heathens TO their
faith, while the missionaries OF all
other Protestant denominations COM
bined led only S,7S2into their respective
folds. This showing should involve a
further: inquiry, as to the real value OF
the money expended, the quality and
earnestness of the prayers, and so on. 1t
will be seen from the above that Bap-
fist dollar does as much for Christianity
as six Presbyterian dollars, or sixteen
Episcopalian dollars. AS the mission
aries, as a rule, are equally able, earn
est, industrious and prayerful,
whatever their denomination, the
explanation for this difference in re-
suits must be found either in the size of
the dollars used or in the quality of the
converts. If the Baptists use the small
lest dollars in their missionary work and
the Episcopalians the largest, while the
Others use dollars ranging between the
extremes, the mystery is solved at once +;
but if all use dollars of equal size and
value, we will have to conclude that the
Oualitv Of tho PoD+;ct oo,,,n-+e M ,,oo,.
that it takes six of them to equal
one Presbyterian, sixteen to amount to
an Episcopalian. nine to make q Con-
gregationlist and four for Methodist.
In this connection it might not be out of
place to suggest that the prices of all
these conversions seem to be very high :;
it may be questioned if the money is
well invested.

RICHARD GRANT WHITE Is perhaps the
best living American scholar on English
pronunciation. He has done much to-
wards Strengthening crooked ways IN the
matter of pronunciation, and has dis
PEELED many doubts, but nothing that
he has done is more beneficial to the
race than the decree which he recen uy
made concerning those troublesome
words, either and neither. He says the
old irish sound of eli as it occurs In eight
has good authority, but settles the bust
ness as follows: "ayther and ladgther,
being ANTICIPATED and Irish, analogy
and the best usage require the common
pronunciation eether and aeetker. For
the pronunciation ithey and aitler with
the ! long, which is sometimes heard,
there is no authority, either OF analogy
or of the best speakers. 1t is an affec.
tation, and in this country a copy OF a
second-rate British affectation. Per

RANKIN's DANITEs.

TIL Descret Nous, last evening. has an
editorial article advising the Mormon
people to stay away from the Theatre
during the Mckee Rankin engagement.
Naturally, this will bring forth a
howl OF indignation from certain class.
and we may expect to hear good deal
about Mormon intolerance, and all that
sort of thing. But let US ask, looking at
the matter dispassionately, if the Neics,
being the official newspaper organ Of
the Mormon Church, is not nearer right
than wrong in the position it assumes.
We do not know that Mr.. Rankin has
any enmity towards the Mormons; if
he entertains any such feeling it is with.
ont cause, for he has been kindly, even
generously treated by the Saints; but it
is fact that he has been playing in this
country and in Europe a sensational
drama-"The Danites"- which has
probably done as much as all
the sermons of all the min
listers. preached since the play was
written, to arouse, stimulate and in
tensify the bitter nti-Mormon senti-
ment that is to-day entertained mn two
continents. Whether or not the Nor
mon religion is right, is a matter that
cannot properly be considered in this
connection; it is supremely right in
their minds, and Mr.. Rankins
'Daniies" is a vicious slumher upon
them and their religion, while Mr..
Rankin is chiefly responsible for the
circulation of the Libel. His only inte
rest in the business may be the money
that he obtains, but the effect is just as
bad as il would be were he in earnest in
ms Efforts to bring the Mormens into
disrepute, and subject them to annoy
ance, expense and trouble. The posi-
ton of the NeaCs, as the adviser of its
people, is that they should not en-
courage with their money those who
are fighting them, and from its stand
point, the position is a correct one,
though it will, as a matter of course,
excite unfriendly discussion and cause
another howl to go forth against the
Saints,
The propriety of the Ne,ps article may
be questioned-its evident purpose be-
ing to lessen the receipts at the door
the exposure or attack being of that
peculiar character which sometimes de-
feats itself by arousing a curiosity that
would otherwise have lain dormant.

TELEPHONE EXPEDITION.

In another part of The HERALD a
city. merchant writes in approval of
what was said in these columns con-
corning telephone extortions and applies
the structures to the local company. THE
HERALD did not have the city company
in mind when speaking of the robberies
committed through the telephone, but
wrote of the Bell people, the owners of
the patent, who control the telephones
and have companies in different cities
of the country. Our protest was against
royalty that amounts to 400 or 500
per cent. on the investment of capital;
against the people being robbed to pay
few from 40 TO so per cent. annually on
the money that it costs to construct and
operate the telephone. We are assured
that the local company is receiving
only fair interest on the. cost of its
plant. and have reason to believe this
is true; but this fact does not relieve the
owners Of the patent from the charge
of robbing everybody who uses the in
strument, the local company being
simply the middle man or agent through
which the robbery is committed. The
company here has to pay the Bell com
pany 81 per month rental for an instru-
ment which costs, all told, less than IS.
the telephone itself still being the prop
erty Of the Bell company. Thus the
latter gets about 1875 per cent. monthly
on the instrument. The local company
does notipay this, in fact, but collects it
from the subscriber and turns it over to
the greedy monopoly. If the local COM
pany could get instruments at a
reasonable cost, subscribers would
naturally be the gamers, and
people here might be able to enjoy
the benefits of the great invention with
out feeling that they are treating them
selves to luxury, as our correspondent
puts it. -.
Ii the local company is making no
more than it SHOULD make on the CAPT.
tai that it has invested, THE HERALD
is sorry for it, and suggests that it APP
ply to the Bell company for share of
the enormous profits that the people
are certainly paving to somebody.
Because the Bell is -robbing the peo-
pie, because it is. charging exorbitant
rates, THE HERALD reioices whenever it.
sees any protest against the extortion,
and is pleased by the coming up of any
thing that promises opposition to the
thieves. The way to defeat the robbers
is to refuse to use their invention
and this can only be done by united
action on the part of the public. As
Merchant" suggests, one'feels that he
is forced TO have the telephone because
his competitor has it; but if all were to
say that they would do without it I'M
less the price were made, reasonable,
they could force the inventor to terms.

The origin Of many OF tue names
given to old cities and countries has been
lost in the midst of antiquity, and
doubt Is already thrown upon some of
those Of modern times. The city Of
San Francisco derives its present name
from the bay on which it is situated, but
the first, and now well-nigh forgotten
one, was Yerbabuena, as it was called
by the Mexicans before the inroads OF
our adventurous countrymen, wnc
could see no reason for maintaining il
when they looked about on the sand
dunes, and found scarcely a blade of
good grass. But they were mistaken
IN the meaning of the word. Yerba-
buena signifies peppermint, an herb to
which Mexican women attach special
Importance in their domestic economy.
Thus, in the future, when this fact be.
comes more widely known, other nick
named towns may retort upon San
Francisco, by fastening upon it the
name of Peppermint City. As to the
State of California, majority of the
people seem to fancy that it is 80 called
from combination that denotes some
thing that is beautiful. An eminent
authority (Webster) goes still further
out of the way when he supposes the
first syllable to be derived from Ca
iph, implying very indirectly that the
country is sort of Mohammedan para
disc. Throwing the Greek and Arabic
theories aside as unworthy of consider
alton, we find the truth in an old man.
