THE CABINET.

The vice president has never been recognized as a
member of the cabinet.-Newton Republican,
There is no law to that effect, but there
is precedent. Hon. Thomas A. Hendricks,
Mr.. Cleveland's vice, was recognized as a
member of the presidents board of advi-
sors and occupied seat at the council
board for cabinet meetings during the
short time be occupied the vice presiden-
tial chair.-Wichita EAGLE.
A warm personal friend of the late
Vice President Hendricks told us. year
or so ago, a story about this. 1t is true
that Mr. Hendricks was invited to attend
the earlier cabinet meetings. But at
one of the first held, a discussion arose
concerning the general policy of the ad-
ministration. Mr.. Hendricks talked
freely, and at some length, earnestly adj
vising, among other things, that the sur
plus in the treasury should be reduced TO
the lowest possible point by the rapid
purchase of outstanding bonds. When
he had concluded, the president leaned
over to one of his cabinet officers and
whispered: 1.-The old man seems to be
losing his mind-he is evidently break
ing very fast.
Some time afterwards a contest arose
over the appointment of postmaster at
Indianapolis. Very naturally, Mr.. Hen
bricks thought he would be asked TO
name the postmaster in his own town.
But he wasn't. Moreover, he found out.
in BRIT time, that his candidate was
not likely to be preferred. He called on
the president, and made an earnest pre-
sentation of the case. Several days
afterwards he was informed that the
PRESIDENT would crafty him, in this in
stance, and coupled with the informa-
ton he was advised that he was not TO
consider the presidents action respecting
the Indianapolis postoffice as justifying
the expectation that other Recommended
lions made by him (Hendrick) would
have weight with the president"
Mr.. Hendricks felt this snub, keenly.
He never afterwards attended cabinet
meeting nor made a Recommendation.
His friends assert that the treatment he
received from the president fastened
his death, and, during the last campaign,
it was an open secret that many of his
near relatives actively and bitterly an
tagonized Cleveland. At the crisis of
the campaign, Mrs. Hendricks called.
with some public display, on Mrs. Harri-
son, and it Is stated that she earnestly
desired Clevelands defeat The disaf-
lection of many of Mr. Hendricks close
friends in Indiana was one of the infiu-
ences that contributed TO the Democratic
defeat in that state.-Atchison

THE PARIS IRON TOWER.

From platform 900 feet high midgets
are raising beacon that will give light
| to three millions of people. The tower
Eiffel is now the one land mark of Paris,
and the view from its third platform
will be mountainous in its reach, while
the electric light will shine from a
further elevation of eighty odd feet. As
| the exposition is given to celebrate the
| first century of the republic of France, by
an exhibit of the progress of free labor
in that period, no more fitting cap to the
work could be found than this structure
which marks the reign of iron as a build
ing material.
More useful is the parallel to this great
work, Machinery hall La Gallerie de Ma
chines) at the other end of the Champs
de Mars. 1t is an aggregation OF iron
arches into an immense shell OF
iron and glass, 1867 feet long, 157
feet high. The arches terminate in
wedges which rest upon the foundation
and move under the expansion and con-
traction of the iron frame of the build
ing. The sole beauty of the tower when
viewed from the grounds is found in its
four arches ON which it rests. The hall
is the one impressive feature of the ex
position; neither work could have been
accomplished in any other country.
The very magnitude of the undertake
ings appealed to the Imagination of the
French.
The exhibits will be on the grounds
early in April. All commissioners are
busy receiving the boxes now and get
ting them in place. To accommodate
the 43, 900 exhibitors there were assigned
the old exposition building, the Troca-
dero and its grounds reaching to the
Bridge of Jena (Pont d. Lena; the entire
Champs de Mars; the bank of the
Seine to the Pont DIES Invalides and
the wide Esplanade deS 1nvalides.
Steamers run along the Seine stopping
at the bridges, "a little, narrow guage
railway will connect the two fields, and
foot bridges cross the streets between the
grounds so occupied. SO visitor can go
the rounds on one admission fee OF the
entire 175 acres covered.
The character of the exhibition is in
dicated by the groups into which the
exhibits are put; art, education neces-
saries, appliances, furniture, dress ia
brics, mining industries, mechanics
tools, alimentary products, agriculture
and horticulture.
Though essentially industrial the eX-
position will show the genius Of the
French for art and historical work.
Everywhere is seen the superb sense of
the beautiful and the appreciation of
the nude, withal. The pavilion Of the
press is a revelation to the dull workers
in dingy writing shops. The main port
of entry, the gilded domes, the fountain
beautiful-everywhe are incarnations
of perfect forms.
France gives credit Of sS,0O0,O00;
business association loans without inter
est and if required guarantees a part and
business interest, and people have liber-
ally responded. Many other countries
aid their exhibitors and the peace of

rendered secure for the terms of the ex-
position, which opens on the first Sun

Young in journalism as we are. we
have witnessed the growth of the EAGLE
from weekly nine-column folio to one
of the leading dailies of the State, and
in all its growth it scared just little
ahead of the city, With fitting wisdom
it put the things of the past always be-
hind and continually stretched forward
to that which was before with an ambi-
ton which was never satisfied, and to-
day its plans and hopes for Wichita are
broader, grander and fuller than ever
before. We do not believe the people of
Wichita. as mass. support any move
ment against the EAGLE. A few sore
heads and kickers, or men who have not
been able to prevail upon the editor to
use his influence for the furtherance
of their own selfish interests, may
be opposed to the paper, but such per-
sons are usually too selfish or toe
stingy to put up any great amount of
money.

RETURNS OF FOREIGN COMMERCE.


From the New York Commercial Bulletin.
The office records of foreign commerce
of the United States for February, as
summarized in the advance statement of
the bureau of statistics, show that mer-
chandise exports for that month were
valued at S59,S71, 1877, and imports at
1868, 090, 702, while the United States ex-
ported 81 AIS, 208 of gold and 50, 500, 900
of silver, and imported SS17, 400 of gold
and 81, l4S, 545 of silver. The imports
and exports OF classes, as thus stated,
almost exactly balanced each other.
The merchandise experts were larg-
er than those of any previous Feb
ruary in the past five years, while the
merchandise exports were smaller than
those of February, 1888 The in
crease of cotton exports oyer
those of 1888 was sufficient to ex-
plain the aggregate increase if all
other classes had been equal: but the de-
crease in breadstuffs was such that a
large increase in exports of provisions
and miscellaneous articles is necessary to
account for the favorable comparison
January having shown large increase
over last years rate Of exports, the re-
turns for the first two months of the new
year disclose an increase over the same
period over last year in aggregate mer-
chandise exports of S13, 500. 900.
For the eight months of the fiscal year
the aggregate exports of merchandise
have exceeded those of the same period
in 1888 by nearly $4,000, 000 This in
crease is not explained by a comparison
of the five principal classes. but is TO be
attributed TO increased exports of a va
riety of minor and miscellaneous articles.
4 comparison of merchandise exports
and imports for the eight months of the
fiscal year shows that the exports have
aggregated 1914, 0S6. $50 in value. while
imports have been S4S3, 045. 462, thus dis
closing an excess of merchandise ex-
ports over imports of S31 oil, ASS. with
out allowance for undervaluations.
charges, ETC., in comparison with a SINH
lar excess of So, 939, PA for the same
period of last wear. The comparison OF
exports and imports of gold and silver
for eight months of the two years show
that, while imports exceeded exports by
S2i, S19,9l9 In 1888, exports have
exceeded imports by S23. S10,2lS this
year. According TO these returns
exports of all kinds from
the United States during the eight
months of the current fiscal year have
exceeded imports by nearly s55, 000, 600,
while for these eight months last year
the aggregate imports and exports al
most exactly balanced each other. The
aggregate, exports, merchandise. coin
and bullion, for eight months of the cur
rent fiscal year, are reported at S591 ,100.-
600, and the imports sos. SOC. 900. For
the corresponding period of last year the
aggregate imports and exports were re-
ported as balancing each other, each be-

A Peculiar Murder Case.


The murder trial in Morris county was
of peculiar character. A young lady,
bright, intelligent and pretty, had five
suitors. Things became interesting and
she finally decided in favor of young
Cooper. The jealous four managed to
have something read in lvceum which
reflected on Cooper, who was present.
Cooper resented it. A quarrel ensued in
which young Cooper was stabbed and
killed McDole was tried and acquitted.
He married the girl and went to Colo
RADIO. The remaining three were sent TO
the penitentiary. Their case was taken
to the supreme court which ordered a
new trial At the trial, which has just
taken place, the defendants threw the
guilt on McDole and the outside feeling
strongly seemed to point that way.

the outlet of Winnebago lake, attracted
great Numbers OF manufactures, Many
thousands of peoole Were there; every

Yesterday the prohibition question
was put to popular vote in Massachu-
sets The day was proclaimed a legal
holiday and every inducement made to
bring out free and impartial opinion of
the people. The prohibitionists made a
determined fight, Notwithstanding the
boast of their opponents that they were
backed by sS,OOO,OO0, representing the
liquor interests of the United States.
The point brought forward by the liquor
men was that If the amendment should
be accepted, the manufacture and sale of
cider will be prohibited. This has had
such effect with the farmers and inhab-
itants of the small towns who have hith-
erto used it as freely as water, that to
this point alone will probably be due the
defeat of the bill.
