WASHINGTON, FEBRUARY 2, 1880
MIR. HARRIsoN,s CABINET.

Without entering into any speculation
as to which of the several distinguished
and available Republicans the President
elect will invite to his Cabinet, we may
be permitted to observe that 1t never be.
hooved Chief Magistrate of this Govern
ment to be more conservative or to exer-
else greater care in the selection Of his
advisors.
From a mere partisan standpoint 1t
must be obvious to Mr.. Harrison that
much depends upon the character Of his
administrative associates in the effort to
give permanency to the powers of his
party and stability to its principles.
The sectional question, which has not
entirely died out, in spite of the DISPOSE
tion to say 1t has, is the first to be prac-
tically handled, and in doing II the
utmost delicacv and prudence must be
observed. To perpetuate its ascendancy
the Republican party must have the un-
qualified cooperation of one or moro of
the Southern States, for not until this Is
substantially accomplished can 1t be
said that the war of sections is ended.
What can be done at the approach of the
new rule by forming the administrative
lines is something for grave considera-
ton. The necessity for strengthen
ing the party power in doubtful
Northern and border States will
surely have its influences in forming
the Cabinet, and it is not altogether GER
tain that IL would be unwise to select at
least one from moderately close South
ern State. Certainly there will be room
for number of sub-heads OF Depart
ments from that quarter, and 1t Is nat
urally anticipated that the South will not
be entirely ignored.
That Mr.. Harrison's predictions are
rather strongly disposed toward Virginia
is pretty generally recognized, since 1t is
known as his ancestral State, and he is
accredited with having said previous to
the election that his highest ambition
was to come out of the contest with
the votes of Indiana and Virginia on his
side. The knowledge of this has given
some encouragement to the friends of n
distinguished Virginia Republican, and
there has been an earnest effort to urge
his selection upon the Presidential at
tention.
On this point we have no suggestion
to make except that the suaoiter IN modo
will be more effective in selecting South
ern helpers than will be the fortiter IN re.
What the country wants is peaceful,
prudent and wise administration; a
party control that will not invite any is.
sue to impair the unity of States or de-
stroy the fraternal exercise of Federal
power.
Mr.. Harrison will be welcomed to the
White House with the pride Of the peo.
pie expressed for his high citizenship,
his honorable ancestry and his unblem-
ished character, and the hope of all sec.
tions will be for peaceful and unsullied
administration.

University Girls in Uniforms.

forms have arrived, officers have been elected,
and regular drill commenced with an ardor
that BODIES no good TO the male battalion when
they meet their belligerent amazon compeers

battle, The uniform is not particularly hand

short full skirt, kilt in front, blouse waist,
with full sleeves aud rolling collar. Over the
blouse is worn a black zouave jacket, with
high collar. II is said that the warlike pro
pensities Of the ladies were fully evidenced
during the six weeks II took them to decide
upon 1t, and that the propcnslties did not die

two explosions in quick succession from
