The Harrison Cabinet.

The country is realizing the advan-
tage of president who will go into
office absolutely without embarrassing
pledges of any kind. The manner of
General Harri sons nomination and
election was probably without precedent
in this regard. being entirely free from
any sort of political deal or combination.
The campaign, so far as he is concerned,
was conducted on the same principle
of absolute independence and indivd-
ual freedom Whatever pledges, states
or combinations were made by others
were at their own risk, and General
Harrison was free to approve or disap-
prove, to adopt or reject them, as he
saw fit. All this is inuring to the adj
vantage of the republican party and the
country. General Harrison is free to
seek all the light and information he
wants and finally to act on his own re-
spOnsibilityin all matters. As the Con-
sttution and the people have put the
responsibility on him. this is precisely
what he should do. The people have
learned by this time to have great con-
fdence in his judgment, bravery and
iirmness, and his determination to do
the right thing, and it is fortunate for
the country, as well as for himself, that
he is free from personal pledges or
combinations of any kind. General
Harrison is a man who recognizes one
responsibility as supreme, and the
limitations of that will always be fixed
by his own conscience. After that he
will be responsible to the Constitution,
the people and the country at large,
but cliques and combinations are ruled
out. This is a good thing for the party
and the country.-IndianopoliS Journal

sure being brought to bear on the prosi-
dent-elect by them will probably never
be known, but it is very evident that
they are eXerting themselves to their
utmost--MinneopoHs Journal
Mr.. BLAINE is not seeking or asking
his friends to use their Influence with
General Harrison TO secure bis appoint
ment as secretary of state. Mr.. Blaine
has said that General Harrison knew
him, and that General Harrison knew
how he was nominated and elected
president. Under these circumstances
the Office must come to him, if it comes
at all, unsought This is the proper
course, and leaves the presidcnt-elect
in position to use his best judgment
for the good of the country aud the
party. We do not believe that Presi-
dent Harrison, in selecting men for the
high places in the government, will be
gull of iugratitude. That the con-
ilict may come between duty aud graft
tude is true, but in the end President
Harrison will discharge his duty and
not forget the men who contributed to
his elevation TO the presidency. Wash
Ngt0n Press.
Mr.. BLAINE's position in relation to
General Harrison presents some points
analogous to. and one decided differ
ence from, that of Henry Clay to Gen
eral Harrison's grandfather. Mr.. Clay
did not decline the nomination for the
presidency, but was denied il from the
fear that he could not be elected, and
Mr. Blaine's decinatiOn was for the
same reason. But both Mr.. Clay and
Mr.. Blaine were the popular repre-
sentatves of their parties and entitled.
in that sense, to the highest political
consideration. The elder Harrison
offered to Clay the secretaryship of
state, which he declined. But Clay
had place in the senate, which gave
him a political career. Mr. Blaine is
without place, and must be secretary
or admit that his career is ended,
whether he falls back into the honor
able exile of foreign mission or not.
1t is political life or death for Mr..
Blaine. -Pr0ridence Journal.
THE rank and file, and nearly all the
leaders of the republican party, assumed,
as a matter of course-knew as of their
own knowledge, as it were-that the
election of General Harrison to the
presidency would mean that Mr..
Blaine should be recognized as one of
the great factors of the republican party.
After the unsefishness and the loyal
service of Mr.. Blaine no good republic
can can contemplate with patience a
state of affairs in which, after the
triumph of the party he generously
consolidated, he should be subjected to
the jibes of his pestiferOus enemies.
We presume there are not in the
United States one hundred republicans
who would say seriously that they
would not have supported Harrison if
they had known that Mr.. Blaine would
90 into the state department, or should
be otherwise so recognized as to place
him in the most agreeable relations
with the administration. There is no
place like the state department for him,
and those who would be unhappy about
him there would rend themselves in
any case, unless they could feel that he
had been sighted for their sake. There
fore there is no use placating them

THE WIDOW CABOChARp.

Something Unique in tho Limo of Success- full Advertising. It IS well known, says Sampson's "History of Advertising" that at the Pere Ia Chaise cemetery, near Paris, there stands in a conspicuous position 8 splendid monument to Pierre Cabochard, grocer, with pathetic inscription, which closes thus: "His inconsolable widow dedicates this monument to his memory, and continues the same business at the old shop, 167 Rue Mouffetard."
 Now Parisian paper relates that short time ago gentleman, who had noticed the above inscription, was led by curiosity to call at the address indicated. Having ex. pressed his desire to see the Widow Cabo- chard, he was immediately ushered into the presence of fashionably dressed and full bearded man, who asked him what was the object of his visit
 I came to see the Widow Cabochard, sir."
 "Well, sir. here she is."
 'I beg pardon, but wish to see the lady in person"
 ''Sir, 1 am the Widow Cabochard."
 "1 don't exactly understand you. allude to the relict of the late Pierre Cabochard, whose monument I saw yesterday at the Pere Ia Chaise."
 "I see, see," was the smiling reioiuder "Allow me to inform you that Pierre Cabochard Is Q myth, and therefore never had wife.

 the strikers and employers remain un. changed. Rumors are in circulation to- day that the printers intend joining the strike, which Is virtually . fight for 8
 universal eight hour system, and wage earners in the branches of industry hitherto believed to be beyond the reach of the contaminating influence of strikes are becoming restive and in- cl1ned to cast their fortunes with the dock laborers and their allies.
 The paralysis which pervades the shipping industry shows no sign of inn provement in London, but ships are discharging at Chatham and Southamp- ton without interruption, preferring the chances of getting their cargoes to London overland to the certainty of being unable to discharge at their accustomed docks.
 The Lord Mayor has declined to act as arbitrator, fearing to interfere in the duties properly belonging to the Judges of the Courts.
 The strikers now number 1SO, 900. The coal porters at important centres are joining the strikers. Two hundred and fifty steamers are now lying in docks awaiting cargoes. The factories along tho river side are closing down for lack of coal. throwing thousands of hands into idleness.
