Vacation Schools .
SALT LAKE CITY, June 9th, 1873,

SALT LAKE CRY, June 9th, 1883.
To the Editor Of The HERALD
This month the various day schools
in the city break up for the summer,
and do not recommence till about the
first of September. Some children go
to work in the summer time, few are
able to go touring around; but many
are left to play in the streets during the
hot season. So much summer street
life is not beneficial to youth. But the
question is, how TO avoid it, or to reduce
it to the minimum? One way, that is
advocated in eastern cities, might be
good here. and that is to have vacation
schools. They should be held in large,
well ventilated halls, and the exercises
not too strictly mental and not at all
wearisome. The attendance should be
in the morning only, before the great
heat of the day comes on. The list of
studies should be few and OF the most
interesting kind mostly, as The chief
object is recreation and the prevention
of the negligence, disorder and demon
alization which are so likely to result
from long vacations and street educa-
ton.

various local assem- lies for settlement,
as the adoption of general scale was

The Crops.

WASHINGTON, June 9.-Following is
the crop report issued by the Depart
ment of Agriculture: There was some
reduction in seeding the winter wheat
area in some States, though the average
breadth of all, was but slightly re-
duced. In the east and south there
was no material loss from freezing, but
in several western States it was consid-
cradle. The apparent reduction of
winter wheat as compared with that of
last year was about one and three
fourths millions of acres. The percent
age of reduction for the entire winter
wheat region is placed at II per cent.

farther west, but q decrease in Iowa,
Wisconsin and Minnesota, making an
average decrease for the spring wheat
region of one per cent. The area in
wheat is apparently slightly below thir-
ty-siX million acres. There is a slight
local change in the condition of win
ter wheat, some improvement in New
York and Pennsylvania. The market
is declining in Missouri, and minor
changes of the status elsewhere, making
the average 1873 against 70 1. In the
May acreage barley is nearly the same
as last year.
New York and Wisconsin are credited
with an increase of one per cent, Min

AUGUSTA, No, June Git may be
surprise to many in the light of Blaine's
two letters of declination that there IS
welI-defined and strong feeling mani
fest among some of Blaine's friends
here that he may yet be the candidate
of the party in the coming campaign:
The nomination of Thurman is regarded
by Republicans here as very wise one
and as strengthening the party IN the
west, What is 20 be done?" the Blaine
men ask. Almo t daily reports are re-
ceiyed here from different sections of
country, lamenting the withdrawal OF
Blaine and declaring that 1t cannot be
accepted. Col. Allen, a delegate from
the third Maine district, has just re-
turned from the west, and he says he
finds Blaine men decidedly set against
the defamation and opposing It's &C
ceptance with determination. MANY
Republicans here think that the only
thing TO do, if the demand for the Maine
man continues, is to nominate him. 1t
is acknowledged that he does not want
the nomination, but it is said by sup
porters, that if after repeated ballotlng
the relative strength OF the other can
didates does not change materially
then the convention ought to turn to
him as the one man and give him their
unanimous and hearty endorsement.
In such an event, they ask, can he re-

BOSTON, June S.-Nearly all Massa-

several members of the State central
committee, dined together in this city
this afternoon and informally discussed
the candidates. An effort was made to
unite the delegation on some one man,
but the attempt failed. The delegation
is divided in its preferences between
Gresham, Sherman. Harrison and
Depew. 1t was thought that Depew
might become general choice. bnt it
NAV be said authoriti vely that the dele.

The Cadet Cavalry.

WEST POINT, June 9.-This morning
there was cavalry drill in Riding Hall.
Two small galleries were crowded with
spectators and not half of those who
desired could get into the building. The
cadets gave a splendid exhibition of
Workmanship. They jumped hurdles |;
cut off imaginary heads while galloping
at full speed; vaulted into the saddle
without using hands or feet. and some
of the most expert did all kinds of circus
tricks. The last drill will take place
this afternoon. A sermon to the gradu-
ating class will be delivered tomorrow.

that? Why such invidious discrimina-

warmly in favor Of a new election law, and
his suggestions show he has given the subject
careful consideration with respect to details.
He also favors the Inauguration of a general
system of free gravel roads, and would apply
the liquor license and dox-tax to that end. In
addition to this be would work our ~convicts
on the roads, thus at once improving the peo-
pies highways and doing away with the per-
nicious system of contract convict labor.
This plan might be open to objections; but it
is in the direction of practical reform and
therefore worthy of consideration. a general
system of free gravel or macadamized roads
In Indiana would add enormously to the value
Of property and the comfort of living, and be
O great acquisition to the State. From these
and other suggestions of General Hovey's it
is evident that the next Governor of Indiana
is likely to occupy himself with matters Of
greater interest to the State and people than
the mere signing Of ~notaries' commissions.

CABINET OFFICERS.
early day

Our term Cabinet in connection with the
government is derived from ehe English sys-
tenn, though every constitutional government
has something corresponding to it. The Cab
met officers are often termed the constitu-
tional advisers of the President, yet they are
not created by the Constitution. The differ
ent departments were created by law at diff
ferent times. The Department of State was
created by act of Sept. Is, 1880. previously
to which. by act of July q, 1889, it was de-
nominated the Department of Foreign AZ
fairs. The War and Navy departments were
originally under one head, and were not sep
aIa.ed till 1898. The Interior Department
general was not recognized as a member
of the Cabinet until 1929, although the Office
existed from the beginning of the govern.
ment. General Jackson was the first Presi-
dent who invited the general to a
seat in his Cabinet. There is nothing to pre-.
vent the President from inviting any officer
Of the government from attending a Cabinet
meeting. though usage has almost established
a law on the subject.
The heads of departments constituting the
Cabinet are named by the President and con-
frmed by the Senate. AS they are brought
into close personal, as we'll as political.
relations with the President, and as he neces-
sarily intrusts q very large mass of business
to each one of them, they are supposed to be
| selected as much for personal as political rea-
sons. No President would think Of appoint
for political or geographical reasons to a
Cabinet position a person who was not per-
sonally agreeable to him.. They are merely
his executive agents, responsible to him for
all their acts, and subject to his direction and
control in every respect, though ordinarily
vested with large discretionary power.

predecessors. John Adams continued FIVE Of

ONE argument used by Prohibitionists

ONE argument used by Prohibitionists
against high tax is that, as between the two,
liquor-dealers favor the latter system. No
proofs are offered that such is the case, tile
assertion evidently being based on the theory
that prohibition prohibits. and that, there
fore. whisky-sellers must necessarily favor
less restrictive methods. That the reverse is
true is shown by the Springfield, Mass, Re-
publican. 4 Ligh-tax law will 60 into effect

INDIANA,s DIsPRANCEIsEMENT.

In the next Congress 259, 965 Democrats of
Indiana will be represented by ten members.
264. 500 Republicans by three members.
South Carolina, with a white voting popula-
ton of 81 1000 and colored voters numbering
lis, 900, according to the last census, sends
an entire Democratic delegation of seven to
Congress. A great deal is said in Northern
papers about Misrepresentation in the South,
but how much better off is Indiana than
South Carolina in this ~respectl The people
in both States are the victims of indecent and
fraudulent Democratic methods. The meth
DDS vary according to localities, but the one
end is to deprive the Republicans. who, in
each case mentioned, happen to be in the
majority, of their political rights. In South
Carolina they depend upon intimidation and
counting out. In Indiana. while both these
systems are practiced as far as possible, the
main reliance is the redistricting which
was effected by q Democratic Legisla-
ture. The redistricting plan was tried
in South Carolina, but was found to be I'M
necessary. After laying out an exclusively
''black district, it was found as easy to count
in a Democratic candidate with Republican
ballots as to throw the vote out elsewhere.
The first intention to allow the 119, 0U0 black
men and as many Republicans as there may
be among the whites one representative was,
therefore. abandoned two years ago, when
Smalls's opponent was granted a certificate Of
election. 1t is not honesty, but simply lack
of power which prevents the counting in of a
Democrat in Gen. Tom Brownies district in
the same way. The Democratic purpose is
the same e~verywhere-to gain power by
fraud. no matter how shameless, il fair meth
DDS will no. suffice. The ten Democratic
members of Congress from Indiana will hold
their places by titles as fraudulent as the
seven members from South Carolina. Under
q just apportionment and with an honest vote
some of these men might have been elected.
Under the existing circumstances not one is
properly and fairly a representative. The in
Justice in the South can be remedied in some
measure by the reapDortionmeut which must
follow the next census. In Indiana the mat
ter is in the peoples own hands, for it is an
outrage upon the people and not upon a
party alone. The coming Legislature will do
nothing for them, but another may. The
issue of the next election is defined in the
figures given above, and Indiana Republicans
will do we'll to reflect upon it even at this
early day.

GENERAL CLINTON B. FISK. late third
party candidate for the Presidency, has been
interviewed at his New Jersey home, and is
quoted as saying that he expects General Har-
rison to recommend to Congress in his first
annual message prompt legislation for the
prohibition Of the manufacture and sale Of
alcoholic beverages and their transportation
into the District Of Columbia and all our Ter
~ritories and wherever else the United States
has exclusive jurisdiction. He also says:
I've shall expect him to recommend that
Congress promptly provide for a commits
zion of inquiry into whatever pertains to
the liquor traffic in this country, and further
we shall expect him to recommend that Con-
gress should speedily submit to the States
an amendment to the Constitution forever
prohibiting the manufacture, importation and
sale of alcoholic beverages in the United
States of America"
1t will occur to most readers that General
Fisk is expecting a great deal from a man
whom he and his party did their
best to defeat. It will also be remem.
bered that Mr.. Fisk aud his followers
labored arduously toward the election of Mr..
Cleveland, from whom, bad he been success
full. they would nett her have Expected" nor
asked such action as they so coolly demand
of General Harrison. Whatever the new
President may do, if anything, in regard to
the matter in question, or any other matter,
will be done because he believes public inter
ests require it and not because the third party,
to which he is under no manner of obligation,
calls for it. If Mr.. Fisk has any conception
| of the proprieties, ne will refrain from offer
ing advice to the coming administration, and
| from the retirement Of private life will con-
template the coming repeal, by the New Jer.
sey Democratic Legislature, of the l~ocal-op-
ton law which he himself admitted was good,
ana for which he worked and voted.
