CABINET MAKING.

The professional cabinet makers are
happy because they have succeeded in
getting one man fixed. Mr.. WANA-
MAKEK's name is so indelibly written
on the cabinet slate they think there is
no probability of it being wiped out.
But a new trouble has arisen. and q most
veXatious one. Just as they had sup
posed that Mr.. BLAINE was perma-
nently booked for the state portfolio,
Mr.. ALLISON receives a special invita-
ton to GO to Indianapolis and aid the
president-elect in his efforts to construct
a cabinet. Now, if Mr.. BLAINE is to be
the big gun in the new cabinet, as a
matter of common courtesy he would
have been invited to do the work Mr.
ALLISON has been selected to perform
Of course, this little incident has
changed the whole drift of cabinet max
ing. Now it goes out that ALLISON is
to be made secretary of state, instead of
being assigned to the treasury depart
ment, as originally planned. This is
the way cabinet makers now figure it
out, and they advance plausible
reasons in support Of it. In the
first place, our foreign complications are
too serious for the HARRISON admins
tration to take chances on a man with
the lingo procliyities of Mr.. BLAINE.
In the next place, by removing ALLISON
from the treasury to the state depart
ment the preSident-elect will have a
better showing to conciliate the New
York factions. The New Workers are
not so particular whether PLATT or
MILLER shall go into the cabinet, but
are especially DESTROYS that New York S
cabinet representative shall have control
of Uncle Sans money bags. Thus the
transfer of ALLISON to the head of the
cabinet will give Gen. HARRISON an OPP
portunity to please the New York poll
ticians. And it is altogether probable
that ALLISON, knowing that his services
in the cabinet were almost indispenSa-
bic to the president-elect. utilized the
advantage he held to his own personal
preferment. In the event of a foreign
war, it would be a big thing to be at the
head of the state department.; for if
things worked to successful issue the
secretary of state would be a popular
idol, and on the plain road to the presl-

PRESIDENTIAL LONGEVITY.

A writer in the Winona Republican
attempts to question the accuracy of
the statement in the GLOBE that eX-
presidents are not good subjects for life
insurance companies. He finds that the
elder ADAMS died at ninety-one, living
twenty-five years after he lett the presi-
dency. The average survival of the
twenty-one ex-presidents he finds to be
g S-2l years. In view of the fact that
they are generally men in the vigorous
prime of life, and are presumed to be of
habits conducive to longevity. their
mortality is exceptional. 1t may be in
sisted that in the earlier history Of the
country ex-presidents sometimes en-
ioyed old age, but the fact that only
one man now lives, aside from Presi-
dent CLEVELAND, who was ever elected
president or vice president. is pretty
conclusive as to the fact that in modern
times, at least, presidents do not live
long

THE MERCHANTS PAY.
Railroads viii Not Pay Switching
Charges to Non-Competing Lines.

The discussion of the question of
charges for switching carload freight
into private sidings, which was dis
cussed by the general freight agents in
convention here some time ago, has re-
suited in the following resolution being
adopted by the general freight agents at
their meeting in Chicago:
No switching charges will be paid or
refunded on any business consigned to
OF shipped from any MILL warehouse,
mandatory, lumber yard, or other in
dustry located at Minneapolis on the
line of the Minneapolis Eastern railway
or the Minneapolis Transfer company,
or any switching charges imposed by
the st. Paul, Minneapolis & Manitoba
railway. the Northern Pacific railroad
or the st. Paul & Duluth rail-
way, for reaching similar industries To-
Gated on either of their respective lines,
except that all lines shall be at liberty
to eQualiZe deliveries with the Minneap-
oils, st. Paul Il Sault Ste. Marie Rail
way company on business competitive
with the line coming from or destined
to industries on the Northern Pacific
railroad tracks.
1t would further recommend that all
lines be at liberty to assume the Min
neapolis Transfer company's switching
Oh business consigned to or forwarded
by j. L. Rogers that is competitive with
the Chicago, Milwaukee Il st. Paul rail-
way.
Nothing in the above shall be con-
strueu to prevent any line from equal
izing switching charges incurred in
making delivery to OF receiving bust
ness from any industry located on the
lines as above described, when two or
more transfers are necessary to reach
such industry"
This means a great deal to local mer-
chants and manufacturers, and will
raise a royal howl from various bust
ness men here and in ST. Paul, where
similar order goes into effect.

PENNSYLVANIA PATRIOTISM.

A bill has nearly passed the Penn
sylvauia legislature requiring the ma
tional colors to be kept flying over
every school house in the state. If
there are any people in sight of the
temples of learning to whom the stars
and stripes are obnoxious, the flag
ought to be nailed to the tallest
chimney, but otherwise no special end
would be subserved, unless some one is
to be paid to keep it up and watch it.
The flag is the symbol of national au-
thority, and the school system is purely
q state institution. There is no conflict
between the local and general powers,
and it will not add to the respect felt for
the national emblem, or inyigorate the
fires of patriotism in the youthful
hearts, to have the flag constantly pa
raded before their eyes. tits where less
frequently seen that it inspires the high
est feeling.

Western Moguls Remove All

Agreement.
Only a Portion of the Wabash
Included in the
Scheme.
Burlington & Northern May
Meet the 500 and Du-

Vice President Harris Will

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Jan. 2S.-The meeting
of presidents of the Western railroads
to-day succeeded in removing all Stun
bling blocks hitherto encountered On
the ''gentlemen's agreement" Tonight
there seemed to be little or nothing to
prevent a speedy organization of the
proposed Interstate Commerce Railway
association. The committee of five a
pointed to fix the territory to be covered
by the association made a new report
recommending that the boundary lines
be the same as first proposed with the
exception that only the western por-
lions of those systems having lines ex-
tending east of Chicago shall be en-
braced in the agreement. This was the
point raised by Receiver McNulta, of
the Wabash, On Saturday. The Wabash
has line from Toledo to st. Louis,
and that portion of the road is member
of the Central Traffic association.
being competitor for east-bound
traffic. Gen. McNulta. therefore,
objected to the proposition to include
the entire road in the new COM
bination, and the committee changed
its recommendations to fit his case.
Chicago to constitute the eastern
boundary of the association. This eK-
cludes that portion of the Wabash east
of TolonO, ILL.,, and a special section
was added to the agreement defining
the position of that road. The report of
the committee was adopted. AMI the
meeting passed from the territorial
question to the consideration of the
point raised by the Chicago. Burlington
q Northern. This road objected to
signing the agreement unless some pro-
vision should be made for meeting out
side competition without delay. The
500 route and the st. Paul il Duluth are
competitors of the Burlington u North
cru in the Northwest, and neither of
these roads is to be member of the
Burlington q Northern, the presidents
adopted a resolution providing that
the rules of subordinate OrganiZa-
tons, where they do not conflict with
those of the Interstate Commerce Rail-
way association, shall remain In force
until changed by agreement. This
leaves in effect the rule of the Western
Freight association, which permits a
road to meet the rates of an outside line
without delay and make explanations
afterWards-that is, the association line
reduces rates at its peril and must be
able to give good and sufficient excuse,
or pay the penalty for violation Of agree
ment. Whether the Burlington & North
ern will be satisfied with this DISPOSE
ton of the matter remains to be seen.
That road was not represented at to-
days session. and the resolution was
adopted without its vote. Vice Presi-
dent Harris will be present tomorrow,
and it is expected will then be heard
from. The secretary of the meeting
was ordered to have the agreement
printed III it's amended form for final
consideration tomorrow.

CANUCKS ARE GETTING EVEN,
Seizure OF Five Miles of Track OF
an American Railroad.

OTTAWA, Ont, Jan. 2S.-The seizure
of Canadian railway cars at Detroit has
been entirely eclipsed by the seizure of
five miles of track of the st. Croix &
Penobscot railroad, a road which runs
from Calais, Me-, up the st. Croix val
ley to Princeton, in the same state. At
Barring the road crosses the St. Croix
river into New Brunswick. and for five
miles is undoubtedly within Canadian
territory. The road has been built for
some years, but the question of collect
ing duty OH the materials originally
used in the construction has never been
raised, although they were wholly inl-
ported from the states. Recently, how
ever, the line was entirely refitted with
new ties, rails and fastenings, and a
telephone service. In bringing into
Canada the materials used in refitting
the line no representations were made
to the Canadian customs department,
and accordingly the five miles of track
in New Brunswick have been seized by
the customs officers at Stephens, acting
under instructions from Inspector Mac
laren. of st. Johns. The value of the
seizure is $30,000. Pending the settle
ment traffic will not be interrupted.
