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 or
two newspaper correspondents had cor
rectly outlined the list before it was sent
in:
Secretary of State-James G. Blaine, OF
Maine.
SECRETARY OF the Treasu,y-Wm. Win
dom, of Minnesota.
Secretary of Way-Redfe.d Proctor, OF
Vermont.
Secretary of the Navy-Bepjamin F
Tracey, of New York.
Secretary of the Interior-John W.
Noble, of Missouri.
Postmaster Gen 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 Senae went into executive
session, End all the cabinet officers were
confirmed without opposition. President
Harrison WAS notified of the Seaate's &C.
tion by Executive Clerk Young. The
members of President CIeveland's cabinet
rendered their designations, 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 of the 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 yet to
make national reputation for themselves
as statesmen or administrators. They
can hardly be said to repre- sent 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 t. have obt ,ined 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 Sac, out of the cabinet list
Mr.. Platt was anxious for a cabinet place,
and is said to be in a rage at the Presi-
dents disregard for his services. which
were of very practical aud valuable
character.

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
3Oth of April is suggested, because it
is the day on which Washington. the
first 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 Inaugural
ton, 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 o,th
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 in doing so the COM
fort of the people is consulted, all the
changes necessary to accomplish the
end ought to be made.

The Jail in Morris county, N. Y, boasts
of a dwarf less than four feet high, who
proba bly, drinks more water than any 9TH
er man in the State. Formerly be was
the champion whisky-driaker of his dis
trict and for habitual drunkenness and dis
orderly conduct he was committed to the
jsil some weeks ago. At first the sudden
cutting off of his customary allowance OF
strong liquor almost prostrat d him.
Recently, however, be has developed a
passion for water that is more pronounced
than his old craving for whisky. He
drinks, it is said, gallon every night,
and access the first keeper he sees..in the
with a demand for more. Dur
ing the hours of daylight he requires
from eight to ten quarts to assuage his
thirst, and still complains OF dryness of
the tonsils. He says he never felt 10 bet

Mrs. Frances Cleveland.

Whatever may have been the political
mistakes of the Cleveland administration
there are none to record against its social
side. That hss been a 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 e1
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 bcen its acknowledged
leader and queen.
Mrs. Cleveland's success in society
would have been remark able in a 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 strengthene d
at every appearance in public since.
Consideration for the wife has greatly
augmented the respect shown to the bus
band. Many a bitter word has been left
unspoken, many critic has been dis
armed, many an enemy turned to an ally
through the presence and influence o.
this devoted woman in the mansion oil
the President.
But Mrs. 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 one. Her character is as much a
product of American civilization as it is
an Inheritance from ancestors, and it i.
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.
