NIX. CARLISLE FOR THE TREASURY.
THE LATEST GOSSIP ABOUT ME-. CLEVELAND;
CHOICE OF \ CABINET.

CHOICE OF CAD.NET.
Washington pc IL tSpecan.-Thc latest gossip
about Mr.. Clcvcland's choice Of Cabinet credits
him with having definitely slated" Senator John
g. Carlisle for the sccrctaryship Of the Treasury
On many personal and political grounds the selec-
ton Of Mr.. Carlisle for this important and dinicmt
post In the new Cabinet would seem most fitting
and sensible. The Kentucky senator IS on terms
OF intimate political friendship with the President
elect. and be IS also II the few prominent
Democrat, now In public liio who have the capacity
and experience which required to administer
this great post IL is amusing, however. 10 hear
Mr.. Carlslcs appointment explained as il IS In one
quarter this morning on the ground that he Is only
ffty-scven years old, and is " robust and capable
Of long seigcs OF the hardest work" Mr. Carlisle
Is the contrary. far from robust In health,
and his assumption Of the arduOus and wearing
duties Of the secrctaryship OF the Treasury would
undoubtedly Do cause Of much mlssvlng and ap-
prchcnsiOn the part Of hi, friends. The sad
experience Of the last two Administrations proves
how serious tax the management OF this great
department IS any but strong and Wig
orous constitution. and no not IN the prime OF
physical strength can well aroyu to risk strain
which promises 30 be even more severe than
that under which Mr. Manning and Mr. Window
succumbcd.
In personal sense, therefore, Mr.. Cariisle's ac-
ccptancc Of the Treasury portfolio can BE- looked
on only II serious sacrifice. There is every roa
son, also 10 believe that he would do effective
and useful work for his party by remaining In
than needed 10 guide and control intclligently
The tarln legislation which the next Administration
Treasury would, indeed be Just neither to the Ken
tuchy senator nor 10 his Democratic colleagues In
cepancc of the Treasury portfolio will be rcIuctanIiy
and gTudgngly credited here.
