The FIRST CROAKER.

A special to the Cincinnati Times
Star, on the day Of Inauguration,
states that the opinion in well inform
ed political circles is, that the cabinet
as at present constituted is not per-
manency, and gives some reasons, or
substitutes for such, in support of
that opinion. How far this may or
may not be true, is Of course one of the
unknownable things at this present,
but the article in question goes too far
and renders credence in any of its
statements very apochryphal. 1t as
serts that Mr. Blaine has lively ap-
prehensions of his official tenure and
that Window is far from secure in his
seat. Nothing is more certain than
that James G. Blaine's seat in the
cabinet was decided upon very early
in Mr.. Harrison's mind, If 1t was not
settled by the Chicago nomination.
and that during all the changes, and
speculations, and rivalries, and an
tagonisms and compromises of cabi-
net adjustment, his place was never
questioned. To say, now that the
cabinet is formed, that Mr.. Blaine
has lively apprehensioDs for himself,
seems without warrant of reason.
This extract from the special referred
to is pertinent and would only
.emanate from an anti Blaine man:
Those who think that the cabinet
is Blaine affair deceive themselves.
President Harrison has not surren-
.dered or delegated his prerOgatives to
any man or any group. 1t is well
understood here that Mr.. Blaine's
wishes were not especially consulted
except as to the state portfolio.
1t is in order for democrats to assert
that President Harrison is playing
second part in this administration
and that Mr.. Blaine holds the reins,
but republicans and republican journ-
ais are in poor business when they
give credence and publicity to such
democratic assertions. 1t is from no
W 4hls blltbV ouCli
declarations are made, and they are
as unjust to him and his friends as
they are insulting 10 the president.
Mr.. Blaine knows his place and has
shown no disposition to go outside OF
it. President Harrison is a man whom
neither Mr.. Blaine nor Mr.. Sherman
nor any other man could either drive
or cajole into any policy not dellber'
ately chosen by himself. Harrison is
too much a self contained and delib
crate man, too cool, reasoning
and seIf-pOised to be thrown
off his balance or OverbOrnC
by the weight of any mans per
sonality. This whole studied at
tempt to arraign President Harrison
against his secretary of state has its
object, and that object is to degrade
Mr.. Blaine and bring dissensiOns int
the republican party. 1t will fail 0

THE DEPARTURE FOB WASHINGTON.

That was very pleasant send of the
people of Indianapolis gave to General
Harrison on Monday, on his departure to
assume the duties of President of the
United States. There was most crafty
ing absence of pretension, of fawning and
of adulation. 1t was, on the contrary, a
simple, neighborly and sincere tribute to
an old friend and neighbor, BY people
who take commendable pride in the polit-
ical exaltation of one of their most re-
spected citizens. Nothing more strikingiy
illustrates the democratic equality. sim
plicity and strength of American iIstitu-
tons than the scene referred to. There
vas no obeisance to General Harrison, as to
prince, or one claiming the right to rule
irrespective of the viii Of the governed
there was no bowling of heads in submis-
sion, no crooking of knees to a mere ruler.
The man to whom honor was done is the
simple representative of the people the
embodiment of their will and desire as TO
forms OF government and the execution OF
laws.
The address of this servant of the popular
gill was also s;rikingly illustrative of the
genius of our system. He did not address his
hearers as My people" as the ruler "
would, but as /" My friends and neighbors,"
recognizing thereby their equality with
him, and the fact that his selection as Chief
Executive has not altered their relations as
citizens.
One expression of General Harrison's
will strike all readers as of especial
thoughtfulness. and as testifying to the
profound sense of responsibility with
which he assumes his high office-he de-
clared that there is a great sense of loneli-
ness in the discharge of high public duties
a truth all conscientious men have
experienced who have been called to such
trusts. This loneliness is due to the fact
that the sincere man realizes that if he is TO
be successful in his new position he must
be self-reliant; that the friends are very
rare in whom he can repose trust that he
alone must be responsible. and that he can
not hope for an instant to shift the burden
of accountability that he has taken up
Hence the a. isolation of which General
Harrison speaks. The country is always
safe in the hands of man who expert
ences these feelings, and is equal to the
task of facing his duty under such sense
of its solemnity. Such a man we believe
General Harrison to be.

PIGorTS HORRIBLE CRIME.

The revelations in the Parnell case are
indeed startling. 1t now develops that
Pigott, the chief witness for the Govern
ment and the Times, has cleared out, after
first signing confession that the letters
which form the basis and are the whole
substrscture of the Governments case
against Parnell Egan, Dayitt ct ais, and
upon which the Times formulated is cele-
brated Parnellism and Crime articles,
were forged by him. The result of the
confession will be 10 greatly more exalt
Parnel, TO strengthen the Irish party and
to bring the English Administration into
disrepute. For it will be judged 10y most
people that Pigott did rot originate and
carry out his scheme OF forgery without
Government sanction and promise of aid
While it is altogether probable that the
Times wes duped and innocent of Pigott's
crime, the world will believe that the wit
ness was coached by Government officials,
and this will be held, despite the
fact that there is no evidence of
such criminal sharing by Government
men as ever was hatched in hell or out.
So it may be that Pigott deceived the En-
glish officials, and with the hope of gain
went into the forgery scheme without their
sanction. 1t would be gratifying to so
believe, and charitable as well, and until
the contrary is shown, that conclusion of
innocence should be adhered to.
But whatever one may think of Irish
revolutionary movements, of Irish agi-
tation. home rule, land reform or Parnell-
ism. there can be but one opinion among
self-respecting men concerning the infamy
OF Pigott. For that monster no punish
ment is too ienominious or severe. He
represents the lowest order of the human
kind; he is viler than the assassin, more
abhorrent than the stranger more re-
pulsive than the child stealer, and his very
name viii cause men with spark of.man-
illness to shiyer with horror. This despica-
bic wretch by his confession admits tina.
he forged letters intended to convict Par
nell OF conspiracy to assassinate English
officials, to criminally use dynamite. the
torch and the cartridge; to destroy inno-
cent lives and put in peril of death women
and children; that Parneli was engaged in
conspiracy, in short. the result OF which
was assassination of the most horrible
Character. Such an at;e.ept to wreck the
life and honor of a fellow being is crime
that makes every decent man feel an Itch
ing TO speed the whip that should lash
such villain to the bone, and to have
hand in turning the key that ought to
sequester him from human kind for all
the remaining years of his miserable ex-
istence.

Has there been advanced solitary reason

human being who has advanced, or can
advance any argument why the voter
should not enjoy privacy while casting his

give a reason why the voter should not re-
ceive his ballot from the election board in
order to insure him against fraud, intimi-
da,ion and the domination of those who
would punish him for voting against their

wise TO provide that the ballots in the box
should correspond in their total number
with the stubs from which detached by the

would be dangerous to our liberties 20 have
the ballots furnished by the State, that they
Nay be uniform, and that fraudulent bal
lots may not be substituted for honest

a substantial reason why every man who
