THE Kansas republicans omitted in
serting one important plank in their
platform; they failed to endorse the
Kelley cure. However, in two years
from now they will probably have
enough Kelley institute graduates to
assure the passage of such a resolution.

Col. w. A. HARRIS, who was nomi-
mated for congressman at large, is now
in England. The Leavenworth Times,
a republican paper, says that ''a few
years ago Col. w. A. Harris sold to
English stock raisers some of his
blooded cattle. They were taken to
England, and their increase has proved
to be better than any other cattle pro
duced in the British Islands. Sc
greatly pleased are the English with
them that they sent for Colonel Harris
to come to England to lecture before
an agricultural society upon STOCK
breeding and raising, for which they
agreed to pay him sufficient to cover
the expense of the trip" The cam

Henry Erdsic a prosperous farmer

had the misfortune of losing his barn
and all its contents, among which were
ten head of horses, by fire last week.
| A couple of men who were sleeping In
the barn narrowly escaped being burned
in the conhagration. One of them,
however, being familiar with the barn,
was barely able to decend by the stair
way. The other man being a stanger
and unacquainted with the structure
was compelled to jump from the upper
story from which he received serious
though not fatal injuries. The origin
of the fire is unknown but is thought to
| have been the work of an incendiary.
The loss is over $4,000, partly covered
| by insurance. 1t was all the worse on
account of happening just on the verge
of harvest. Mr.. Erdsic came to this
city and purchased six mules with
which to start In harvesting, the next
day.

News is scarce this week, everybody
seems to be busy in the harvest field.
We can stand it to have the town ap-

A quotation apt but trite came into my

There was a sudden crash ahead Of US;
the Foam lutfed suddenly, and we saw
mass of sail hanging from the mast which
had snapped off near the top. She had
tried to carry too much in the wind-Dut
it might have been fate, for our boat held
rock. The skipper was on deck in mo-
ment: he grabbed the wheel and brought
the Dawn as near to the Foam as possible.
A Joyous smile spread over his sunburned
face-the day was ours. The crew and
skipper of the Foam we're too busy with

the limits of the race the Foam was a

that we saw papa's white head still look

meant by that that he would like to oc-
cupy Kirkwood's chair. 1t being q more
desirable one than the seat he then had.
Want my chair? Why, I've got four
years to serve and / don't expect to die.
What is the matter with your own seat Z"
Why l hear that you are going into
the cabinet today"
Nonsense, the idea is absurd" was
Kirkwood's reply. And yet within an
hour the nominations for the cabinet
came in, and there among them was the
name of Samuel J. Kirkwood for secretary
of the interior. The look of amazement
which came over kirKwoed's countenance
was something wonderful to see.
On the death of Garfield all Of his cab
met rendered their designations to his sue
cessor. President Arthur. He refused to
accept any of them at the time. but when
Arthur retired from the presidency the
only original member OF Garfield's cabinet
who went out with him was Secretary
Lincoln.
After Cleveland was elected he resigned
the governorship of New York, hired
small house in Albany, and, utterly
inexperienced, set about making his
e was the treasury es 's Department. which
he had determined to offer to Daniel
Manning. He did not know public men
very we'll, and therefore was compelled
to turn his eyes to the United States
senate. In February senator bayard
made a trip from Washington City to AL
bany, and when he returned it was said
that he was to be secretary of state
A few days later Senator Garland made
the same trip. and then they said he
was to be attorney general. Next followed
Gen. Lamar, and he went back to Wash
ington smiling, and did not deny that ne,
too, was to be member of the cabinet.
Senator Villas, as the presiding officer of the
convention which nominated Cleveland,
was believed to be the far Western member
of the cabinet. The surprises were the
nominations of William C. Whitney.
Cleveland initiating Grants example by
taking two members of the cabinet from
the same state, and William c. Endicott,
who was unknown to the country at large,
who was selected as the New England rep
resentative. There was probably more
politics in Whitney's appointment than
in that OF any other member of that cabi-
net.
President Harrison was greatly per-
picked on account of the difficulty of
selecting a secretary of the treasury.
With that choice made the cabinet
easily resolved itself in his mind into
a satisfactory structure, and curiously
enough he was compelled to almost
duplicate Gen. Garfield's experiences.
He urged Senator Allison to accept the
treasury. and the senator for the second
time declined that splendid Office, and
then one day in perple kitty and almost
despair Harrison happened to think
of William Window, then a quiet
business man in New York city, and
sent for him just as Garfield had done
The Seattle post-intelligencer. [volume] (Seattle, Wash. Terr. [Wash.]) 1888-1914, 1892-12-11

eight years before, and to Windows be-
wiiderment he found himself again in the
whirl of political life and at the head of
the treasury department. in which service
he was to end his days.
Mr. Cleveland will necessarily have
brought 70 his consideration number
of names whose relations to his party
would justify their appointment as
members of his political family. and
who were not considered by him in 1854.
Some Of them are men who won their
political spurs since that time, others
in the new adjustments and develop
ments of politics have been brought
prominently to the front. His personal
acquaintance is so much wider than it
was in 1854 that this of itself would
give him larger list to select from. If
Mr.. Whitney should go into the cabinet
his selection would be the keystone of the
cabinet structure, and it has been the gen.
eral impression that Mr.. Cleveland would
gladly cali him again to his political
family and as secretary of state.
If Mr.. Whitney is not chosen it will be
because he does not care to enter the cabi-
net. and Mr.. Cleveland will probably con-
slider the name of ex-Minister E. J.
Phelps, of Vermont, who, if chosen, would
represent New England, or Senator Car
Isle.
Gov. Russell, of Massachusetts,, will,
many think. be called to the cabinet, since
he is a warm personal friend of Cleve-
land, and his remarkable triple victories
when a candidate for governor would
justify his selection. If he is not
chosen Cleveland is sure to give
some thought to Gen. Patrick A.
Collins, of Boston, as he did in 1884. Gov.
Flower, of New York, may possibly be
considered in connection with the treas
ury department., although at present it is
hardly likely that he will be chosen. Mr..
Harritv. of Pennsylvania, who was the gen.
eral in command of the battle, will surely
be seriously considered. The logic of poll
tics mskes it necessary that Cleveland
should incline toward the appointment
Of Gov. Gray. Of Indiana, to some
one of the cabinet positions. and he
surely will take into consideration the
name of Senator Gray, of Delaware.
Benjamin T. Cable. of Illinois, will be
urged upon Cleveland's consideration.
and so would Don Dickinson, of Michigan,
but for the fact Mr.. Dickinson does not
care to re-enter the cabinet. It has
been one of the after election re-
ports that Mr.. Cleveland may think it
wise to appoint Wayne MacVeagh to the
cabinet, and it is certain that he will
not pass over the name of Judge
Wilson, of Virginia, unless the ext
gencies of cabinet-making compel it,
while his well-known friendship for
Governor Campbell, of Ohio, coupled with
the fact that the party made remarkable
gains in the state. will unquestionably
lead him to give the governors name the
most favorable consideration.

''Yes, SIR" answered our skipper, I'VE

saw that he meant it.
Just then the two boats were alongside,
and the old man and the young one ex.
changed expressive gestures as their eyes
met.
Bang went the signal to start, and the
feet squared away, the Dawn and the
Foam crossing the line together. Charley
ordered up more sail until we had every
stitch flying, while the Foam did likewise.
1t was dead beat before the wind, and
the two boats led the feet The respec-
tive crews had learned the story by that
time, and shouted loudly to each other,

thought it a good joke, but We heard the
girl sobbing below, and our entire crew
was willing to help on the elopement. II
papa got to Long Island first We would
turn about and make Nutmeg again-or,
well. We figured up. the possible
costs in the case if we put the
couple ashore. and finally prevailed
upon papa to return via the Dawn. The
breeze freshened and the two boats went
before 1t, drawing farther apart all the
while. Papa was supplied with glass. SO
We got one for our man, and he skipped up
on deck every minute to look through it,
and then tumbled back to comfort the
girl. One by one the crew went in and
were introduced to the blushing little
creature, and each man as he came out felt
as did when l first heard her voice-it
foreboded danger to the gray-haired old
passenger on board the Foam.
"If we only had to tack he'd lose his
head by the BOOM" suggested Charley, as
he saw the white spot above the door of
the cabin.
"I-I-don't want to disobey papa"
sobbed the girl when I went into our
cabin, "but I'm old enough to know what
is right, and papa is awfuliy funny some
times. He chased US fifteen miles. We
were half married once this morning when
Henry saw him up the road and we had to
start off again."
