The new cabinet position which will be
created before long will not probably be
ready to receive one Of the able and states
like public men whom we are confident
President Harrison will call around himself.
The bill for new Department of Agricul-
tire was passed in both houses Of Congress
at the last session. The House of Represen-
tatives, however, by one of the provisions Of
its bill, Incorporated the Weather Bureau
into the new department, while the Senate
struck out this provision, leaving the signal
service, where 1t is now, under control of the
War Department Thereupon conference
committees were appointed, and before they
could come to an agreement and have the
conference bill repassed. Congress ad
journed. The matter is, therefore, at pres
emit in state of suspense. But both Houses
Of Congress have committed themselves to
the idea. and the passage of this bill or a
similar measure will undoubtedly take place
in the near future, probably In time for
President Harrison to nominate the first
Secretary Of Agriculture The PRESS does
not wish to make too great haste to obtrude
its advice upon Mr.. Harrison, especially In
the matter Of filling offices that do not YET
exist, but it would like to suggest to the
President-elect that Maine has just the man
for the portfolio of Agriculture in the person
Of Hon. Frederick ROBBIE, of Gorham, al
present preparing to serve his town in the
next Legislature of Maine.

ed good deal more attention than 1t is now,
inasmucb as its result would have settled
the Presidential election. What terrible
turmoil the country would have been in for
the last two weeks had the national result
hinged on the West Virginia count? The
decisive vote of New York saved the country
from a terrible strain.

In his Grafton at the unwilling of the statue
to the memory of William Fl. Seward at
Auburn, N. Y, last week, Senator Evarts
gave his estimate of the place which Mr..
Seward will occupy In our national history.
I'm New York city," said be, ''our history
for 100 years has crowned six citizens with
the honor Of public statue falling within
the province Of statesmanship-Wa
Franklin, Hamilton, Webster, Lincoln and
Seward. Their work and achievements
were all for common benefit. Washington
adds to the name of statesmen a great COM
mander and the father of his country. Lin
coins title included the ruler of nation and
the emancipation of race. Franklin was
benefactor of mankind. There remain
Hamilton, Webster and Seward These
were charged with a critical share of the
safety and hopes Of the country in grave
1unctures, when their measures were pros
porous in their hands. Hamilton was indis-
pensable in the formation Of the country,
and in carrying 1t over public debt and pow
erty. Webster shattered the sophistries and
treasons that struck at the heart of the con-
stitutlon. He prepared men and the means
to carry the country through the struggle II
was to encounter. Through this stormy
period II was reserved for the genius Of
Seward 10 lead the nation" Few will deny
al this day that the work of Lincoln's Secre-

illustrious company to which he Is assigned

Senator from New York.

The Boston correspondent of the SPRING
field Republican writes that sit is all life and
activity among the tariff reformers" of Bos-
ton, that every one Of them is "full Of ag-
gressiyeness," and that the Massachusetts,
Tariff Reform League will holding meeting
this week to lay out plan Of work for the
coming two years. 1t will be interesting to
observe the position Of these gentlemen after
the Republican party shall have revised the
tariff, as 1t certainly will do II it is not
cheated out Of control of the next Congress.
We shall then hsyean opportunity to see
whether the Massachusetts tariff reformers
have really wanted the tariff reformed. that
the unnecessary surplus shall not exist and
that the fiscal equilibrium Of our system of
government may be restored; or whether
they have looked upon the surplus with
complaceucy because they thought they saw
in 1t the fulcrum over which the system of
projection might be pried down. We shall
see. in short, whether they are tariff reform
ers or free traders.

No wonder the people Of Dakota are happy
over Mr.. Harrison's election. Few in that
Eastern States have stopped to consider the
stupendous injustice done the people Of the
Territory by the Democratic party. In area
the Territory has more square miles than are
included in the united areas Of all the New
England States with New York, New Jer-
sey and Maryland added; while in popula-
tion Dakota has more than either Maine, or
Connecticut, or West Virginia, or Nebraska,
OF New Hampshire, or Vermont. or Rhode
Island, or Florida, or Colorado, or Oregon.
or Delaware or Nevada. A hundred and
fifty thousand square miles of fertile lands
and six hundred and fifty thousand indus
trious and God-fearing people are the creden-
tials which this imperial Territory presents
to the council Of the States. And yet the
Democrats wouldn't let her In.

CLOSING rRICEs'oF BOSTON STOCKS.
AN IMPROVED TONE IN STOCKS.
Wednesday. Nav l 6-p.

Only a small amount-S32 o. 550-of bonds were
offered TO the Secretary of the Treasury to-day;
the amount accepted was 81 SO, 65o-4s at 1877 and

statements of cash on hand do not yet reflect the
payments for any of last Fridays large purchases
of over 81, 600, 600 bonds.
To-days stock market was as dull as was that
of yesterday. The total sales aggregated 65, 292
shares, against 1856 shares yesterday. But
SO far as prices reflected the situation, the tone
of entirely different character and stronger
Yesterday the bears" were hammering prices,
which failed to produce any material final re-
suits. To-day they manipulated the early Lon
don market TO lower quotations for effect at home
that had little effect our opening, and then
they waited for stocks to come to market-result,
gradual and steady hardening Of values on
limited demand. If the bears" had attempted to
recoup their yesterdays sales, there undoubtedly
would have been sharp and dangerous advance.
Every day and every huctuation in prices further
develops the scarcity OF real stocks. Prices yield
whenever the bears Illustrate the market by
Offering more than the Immediate absorbing power
OF the market; but quickly recover when that
class Of selling ceases. For instance, the closing
prices tonight, on a smaller and duller movement
than yesterdays, generally show material gains on
Yesterdays strong opening The special active
stocks of the day were New-York and New-ERg-
land which closed SIS higher than yesterdays
highest and IA higher than to-day's lowest and
Richmond and West Point, which closed l "a
lower than last evening. Every conservative
dealer in stocks breathes freer as the time apN
proaches when the deal or contest for control n
Richmond and West Point will end. The books
for election will close Friday. 1t has been "a
menace TO the market for month; but it should
be remembered that its price Is now 20, ana not
So, as it was in December, 1856 when 1t precipl-
tated the panic and that the stock at these lower
prices now is held by stronger parties on both
sides of the contest thar it then. Philadel-

Western were noticeably firm at higher figures:

to under bonds, strong ell the way ont.
