eff it shall prove true as confident
ly reported, that President Harrison
means to appoint Mr.. Whitelaw
Ried, editor of the New York Tribune,
Minister to London; MIR. Murat Hal
stead, editor of the Cincinnati Com
mercial Gazette, Minister to Paris,
and Mr. John c. New, editor of the
indianapolis Journal, Minister to
Austria, we congratulate President
Harrison on his selections = New
York Herald.
We protest. What can we do with
these redoubtable antagonists on the
other side of the water? With Hal
stead in Paris, who will fire the
Northern heart with hatred to the
South; with Ried bending the preg-
nant hinges of the knee before her
Majesty, Queen Victoria, and New
trying to console the Emperor of
Austria, what defense could the re-
naming journalists make of the poll
cy of Mr. Harrison? With Mr. Ried
becoming a free trader by absorb
ton, the Tribune would be a silenced
champion of protection, and in the
absence of Mr.. Halstead the CONNER
cial Gazette would COO as softly as a
sucking dove. Such an inroad on
partisan journalism would deprive
life of half its pleasures, for contest
at long range would have little in
terest. Let the President send whom
he will to Europe, but leave these
gentlemen to our tender care; they
are our meat.-[Louisville Courier

A Christian in Politics.

The mistake too many business
men make-too many Christian men
also, for we are happy to believe Mr.
Wanamaker to be both-is in. con
ceiving that their life and conduct in
politics is to be distinct from their
life and conduct out of politics. They
assume that things are allowable in
political proceedings that would be
-abhOrrent, even, to them
as business men OF as Christian men,
This was why so many Christian
men were found involved in the Cred
it Mobilier disgrace of several years
since, and why Christians have been
found to indOrse doings in politics
from which their souls would revolt
under other conditions SO far from
sneering at Mr.. Wanamaker as a
business man or as a Christian man,
we welcome him into public life in
both relations He cannot bring too
much of business or of Christianity
into his administration of public af-
fairs Boston Herald.

HARRISONS CABINET.

The Presidents cabinet receives
quite general commentator from
partisans and non-partisans. In Sc
Letting Mr.. Blaine he simply followed
his party's choice, for it cannot be
disguised that Mr. Blaine is stronger
among the republican party as a
party than any other man. In Sc
Letting him for the first place in the
cabinet the President simply drifted
with his party. Whether he would
like to have cut a wayfrOm the Blaine
clement but was afraid to do so, it
is useless now to discuss. Another
appointment has been criticised, that
of Miller, the Presidents law part
ner. One argument used against
him is rather in his favor. Chairman
Huston, of the Indiana republican
state committee, is reported as COM
planning that Miller only gave $3.50
to the campaign fund while he gave
$25, 900. If the public did not be-
lieve that John Wanamaker' large
subscription to the campaign fund
purchased him a cabinet position the
would stand vastly
higher in the estimation of people
who fear the corrupting influence of
money in our national politics. New
ertheless Mr.. Wanamaker may prove
q good postmaster general.

GreensbOro's Taxes.

Greensboro seems to be getting
back to the old highway law, as far
as 1t can. At its recent town meet
ing it voted highway tax of so
cents in addition to the Is cents re-
quired by the statute, this addition
to be paid in labor. The selectmen
were appointed road commissioners
and instructed to appoint sub-com-
missioners IN each of the old highway
districts to lay out the tax There
seems to be more than one hole in the

Faithful service on the part of her
town officers seems to be of no avail

set aside men who give skill and good
service for pay that a ditch digger
would scorn: A little less pipe lay
