Change The Day.

The press of the country is very
generally in favor of changing inau-
guration day from March 4, which is
apt to be attended by uncomfortable
weather, to some other date. The
30th of April is suggested. because it
is the day on which Washington. the
hrst President, was by force Of cir
cumstances inaugurated but even
that date, though an improvement on
March 4, would not be likely to in
sure stable weather. The inaugnra-
tion, as we understand it. is a sponta-
neous popular demonstration not con-
templated or authorized by any Law ;
but it is growing to be every four
years more and more popular, and
has become a fixed custom stronger
than law. President Harrison, in the
opening lines Of his inaugural address.
delivered after he had taken the oath
of office, referred to the fact that there
was no requirement that this act
should be done in public, though be
recognized the appropriateness Of do
ing SO, as it brought the people and
their chosen executive into the posi-.
ton of parties to a contract under
solemn and impressive circumstances.
To change the date of taking the oath
and entry upon the duties of Office
would perhaps necessitate other
changes, but ifin doing SO the COM
fort of the people is consulted, all the
changes necessary to accomplish the
end ought to be made.

The Cabinet.


President Harrison sent to the Senate
on Tuesday the names of the following
gentlemen who will compose his cabinet.
Speculation has been rife tor some time
past as to whom would compose the cir
Gle of the Presidents advisers, and one OF
two newspaper correspondents had cor
rec,ly outlined the list before it was sent
in:
Secretary of State-James G. Blaine, OF
Maine.
SECRETARY OF the Tr.asury-Wm Win
dom, of Minnesota
Secretary of Way-Redfe,d Proctor, OF
Vermont
Secretary of the Navy-Beujamin F
Tracey, of New York.
Secretary of the Interior-John w.
Noble, of Missouri.
Postmaster G eral-John Wanamak er
of Pennsylvania:
Attorney -General-W. H. H. Miller, OF
Indiana.
Secretary of Agriculture - jeremiah
Rusk, of Wisconsin,.
AS soon as the nominations were re-
ceived the Sena'e went into executive
session, md all the cabinet officers were
confirmed without opposition. President
Harrison was notified of the Sc aate's &C.
tion by Executive Clerk Young. The
members of President Cleveland's cabinet
rendered their resignations,w which were &C.
cepted. to take effect as soon as their sue
cessors qualify.
Mr.. Blaine, in his old post OF Secretary
of State, is evidently the dominating ele-
ment ii the new cabinet. 1t is asserted
that he controlled to large extent the
selection of his colleagues, and, if this be
the case, they may be expected to look
to him as much as to the President for
guidance in all matters in which Mr.
Blaine takes special interest. Mr.. Win
dom was Secretary ofthe Treasury in Gar
fields cabinet, and is, therefore, not with
out experience in the Office to which he
is now called. The other members of the
cabinet are new men who have vet to
make a national reputation for themselves
as statesmen or administrators. They
can hardly be said to represent fairly the
intellect and leadership OF the republican
party, which possesses scores of men OF
greater recognized ability. 1t will, how
ever, be found probably to be good
working force, directing the affairs Of the
several departments with Industry and
discretion, and not too restive under the
control of the leading member As re-
spects geographical distribution, the
East may be said to have obt aimed more
thaa its share, having FIVE representatives.
to tbree for the West aud Northwest
The financial policy OF the administration
is still to be that of the East, while the
West is to control in questions affecting
the management of the public domain.
The South is ignored, and the same is to
be said of The Pacific coast A striking
omission, which may prove to be Of evil
omen for the ADMINISTRATION, unless the
New York patronage is suitably bes'ow-
ed, is the leaving of Mr.. I. C. Platt, of
the Empire Sia'e, out of the cabinet list
Mr.. Platt was anxious for cabinet place,
aud is said to be in rage at the Presi.
dents disregard for his services. which
were of very practical aud valuable
character.

nal revenue game is worth fighting for,
and that there are several other places in
sight that will receive promp' attention.

Mrs. Frances Clevela nd.

Whatever may have been the political
mistakes of the Cleveland administration,
there are none to record against its social
side. That hss been complete and con-
spicuous success. From the day in which
the President took his young wife to the
White House she has presided there with
much dignity and grace. With little ex-
perience to fit her for such an exalted po-
sitiou she entered the treacherous whirl
of Washington society, took it by storm,
and has since been its acknowledged
leader and queen.
Mrs. Cleveland's success in society
would have been remark able in woman
of years and experience, but tact aud in
stinct supplied the lack of opportunities,
and her native gracefulness has never for
saken her in the most trying and difficult
situations. Her first public reception
made happy impression, which has ap-
parently been increased and strengthened
at every appearance in public since.
Consideration for the wife has greatly
augmented the respect shown to the hus-
band. Many bitter word has been left
unspoken, many critic has been dis
armed, many an enemy turned to an ally
through the presence and influence OF
this devoted woman in the mansion of
the President.
Eut Ms. Cleveland is neither prodigy
nor miracle, but rather type OF American
womanhood. There are thousand other
young women in our land, fresh from the
high school and college, who could en-
ter upon the same trying responsibilities
and meet them with the same grace, re-
finement and triumph. The wife of the
President, beautiful as she is, taciful and
iDstinctively noble as she is, by no means
stands a'one. Her character is as much
product of American civilization as it is
an Inheritance from ancestors, and it is
the pride of our American institution
that they produce the most beautiful and
queenly women that have ever adorned a
home or graced drawing-room.

The French detective force has been
greatly decried and deprecated by the
public of recent years, and it has been
commonly remarked that its members
had lost that professional astuteness
and ability which distinguished M.
Claude and other famous limiers, who
have either published their own ex-
periences, like that worthy, or who
have been described under assumed
names by novelists of the "Gaborian
school" The promptness with which
Allmayer, the notorious swindler. was
recently arrested at Havre shows, how

hounds in the detective force. M
Soudais, who was the prime mover in
the arrest of Allmayer, is one of these.

Centenarians in France.

A paper was recently read before the
French Academy of Science by NJ.
Emile Lavasseur on the ''Centenarians
now living in France" The first re-
ports collected gave the number of
persons who had attained 100 years
and upward at 1874, but on these being
thoroughly sifted no less than l0l were
struck out, leaving 80, but even of
these there were no fewer than 81 who
could not furnish adoquat" proof of
ever, authentic records of birth or
baptism were found, including that of
man born in Spain, and baptized
August 20, 1910. His life was spent
almost wholly in France All the
other centenarians were reputed to be
between 100 and l05 years of age. with
the exception of widow claiming to
be ll2 years old. OF the SO persons
said to be centenarians women formed
large majority, tho proportion being
- women to 81 men. There were but
few married couples. male and female
celibates, % widowers, and Al widows
One of the latter was Nine. Rostkow-
ski, 103 years of age. She enjoys a
pension Of 60 francs month, allowed
her by the French Government in con-
sideration of her late husbands mill
.ary services. More centenarians exist
in the southwestern departments than
in the rest of the republic, while the
basin of the Garonne-from the Pyr-
enees to the Puy de Dome-contains
rs many as all the rest of France put
ogether. Mr.. Lavasseur finds that
