PATCH WORK.
The Harrison Cabinet was announced
yesterday as follows.

The Harrison Cabinet was announced
yesterday as follows:
State-James q. Blaine.
Treasury William Window.
War-Redheld Proctor.
Navy-Benja i. Tracy.
Attorney deneral--W. II. II. Miller
Postmaster General-John Wanamaker.
lnterior-John w. Noble.
Agriculture-Jeremiah Rusk.
This is not strong combination. So
far as the members are known, with the
exception Of Mr.. Blaine, they are with
out great ability or strong character
Mr.. Window was in the Garfield Cabi-
net by a compromise between the Blaine
crowd ana Senators Sherman and Allison.
The other members are chosen somewhat
on the log cabin quilt system. They are
neutral colors and win harmenize readily
with other neutral colors.
The selection OF Mr.. Harrison's law
partner for Attorney General seems to be
the one case where the President elect
exercised his own viii and took the bit in
his mouth. Mr. Blaine could acquiesce
easily, in that instance, because Mr.
Miller does not signify much He has no
political influence and less ambition.
The complexion Of the Cabinet shows
that this is to be a Blaine administration
Blaine is the strongest man in it and he
will not only dominate the Cabinet but he
win run Harrison.
Taking calm view Of the situation it
appears that Mr. Harrison has put his
own administration out of his control /;
that he has made the very mistake the
poor mugwumps have been dreading
that he will suffer from his own folly
But Mr., Blaine dictated the nomination
Of Mr.. Harrison in the Chicago conven-
tion, and he, as a matter of course, ex-
pected to dictate the administration
The mugwumps could not get their man
so they were forced to take either Blaine
or a Blaine man. They have a Blaine
man with Blaine thrown in.

Probably the oldest timber in the world
which has been subjected to the use OF man,
is that found in the ancient temple of Egypt,
in connection with stoneworl, which is known
TO be at least 1000 years old. This, tho only
wood used in TIE construction of the temple,
Is in the form Of ties, holding the end Of one
stone 10 another. When two blocks were
laid in place an excavation about an inch
deep was made in each block, in which tie
shaped like an hourglass was driven. 1t is,
therefore, very difficult to force any stone
from its position. The ties appear to have
been Of the timarisk or shittim wood, Of
which the ark was constucted.-Ncw York

DEATH rate returns in New York
showa mortality Of ] aga per / 900 of the
population for 1888. The mortality rate
in Massachusetts, for 1887 was 2O.2s per
1000, But the rate was greater than for
twelve years previous. The high rate in
New York has been ascribed to the sud.
den and severe changes in the weather
during 1888. II is evident that great pre-.
caution is necessary to preserve the
health during severe atmospherical
changes. The most important Of these is

SINCE the November election the high
protective tariff papers sing low. In the
face Of the facts they really have not the
assurance to sing high, though they are
by no means modest. Wages have been
reduced in almost all branches of trade
affected by the tariff and just the things
that should rot have happened, according
to their false theories. have happened. A
few days ago all of the iron men Of
five Pennsylvania cities met and
reduced wages Yesterday there was
a ten per cent reduction of all
the blast furnaces of Mahoning and
Shenango valleys OF eighteen stacks in
Mahoning only eleven are at work. In
Berks county, Pa, there were twenty
farms for sale last week and ten had
been sold before, all under the hammer,
because their owners could not carry the
mortgages. This, all in the regions
where high protective tariff should make
wages higher, more constant and increase
the value of farming lands and the
products Of farms The theory advocated
is all very well, but it is difficult to make
a plain man see that taxes raise wages
and that labor is not governed by the
law of supply and demand.

Sin: ! saw in Thursdays proceedings
at Dover the notice of bill for the pro
lection Of shad and sturgeon. From what
can learn Of 1t some one wants to pro
tect them for Pennsylvanians and Jersey
men TO catch, which they will do IL law
to stop fishing on the 10th Of May is
passed. Shad fishing does not begin
before April 10. II would be well for the
Delaware fishermen TO know who it is
that wants such law, for il passed it
will ruin them and also ruin the towns
along the river. The last fish law that
was passed keeps thousands Of dollars out
Of Delaware by prohibiting fishermen
from coming here to sell fish, as hotel
keepers, boarding houses and store keep
ers can testify. The law as it stands is
unconstitutional, as it discriminates
against citizens of the United States. For
as it reads anyone not a resident Of Della.
ware cannot be employed to fish in the
Delaware waters. 1t would be well for
w, Z. Davis to look well into this before
he brings his bill before the House.
