The New Cabinet.

would accept, position in the
new Cabinet be would receive j.
With the hearty offering OF the
President and as hearty approval
not orly from his whole party but
from the country irrespective o.
politics He is enc ofthe few men
who exhibit the highest Qualities
OF the statesman il all his move
ments as a politician, ard he
would adorn any position in the
Cabinet. 1t is quite probable,
however, that he would not acceit
he position, as both his business
interests and political possibilities
logically forbid it.
Without any knowledge on tht
subject not accessible to all, We
assume that if Mr. Whitney shall
not accept a portfolio urder the
new administration, the Cabinet
will be COMPOSED entirely of rev
men. Among the apparent y, S.
bilities is Senator Gray, OF Dela~
ware, whose transfer to the Cabinet
would doubtless recall Mr.. Bayard
to the Senate, where he would
most f1ly round out bis eminent
pubic career.
New York will have Cabinet
officer, of course, and he will
doubtless he-first, a man whom
the resident want; and, second,
a man who will not be offensive to
either of the party factions in the
State. Whitney would completely
FIJI the bill, but if he shall decline,
there must be others who could, at
least, go into the Cabinet without
protest from either side. How long
any New York Cabinet minister
can hold the party to unity in that
State, is one OF the problems that
only the future can solve.

TnEM,s OUR SENTIMENTS.
The Wilson Advance Says Truly and
timely that there ought to be no
Contest against Aycock and Glenn.

The ARGUS has so often expressed
its estimation of Hon Charles B
Aycock that it is familiar knowledge
that this paper is for him for any.
thing he may aspire to, and we fee
that in expressing ourselves thus
we express likewise the sentiment OF
the large majority of the Democracy
of North Carolina. So, too, THE
ARGUS recognizes that Hon. R. B.
Glenn, also, has preseminent claim
to preferment at the hands of the
triumphant Democracy of the land
Hence We copy with full endorse
ment the following timely editorial
from the current issue Of the Wilson
4dU0aece =
AS is perfectly natural, there are
many aspirants for Office under the
rev Democratic administration.
There are $4,000 men whose labors
and sacrifices to the party entitle
them to the best that can be giver.
Never before did Democrats work so
well and so unselfshly. It is to be
regretted that al cannot be rewarded
in proportion to their services. The
people Of North Carolina everlast-
iLgly believe in the doctrine, "To
the yictors belong the spoils -. There
is no trouble about differing faiths.
The trouble is that there are so
many victors who want and deserve
reward, that the offices will not go
round. But while there are many
deserving, there ought to be 10 con
test over two positions and no eppo-
sition to granting the reasonable
aspiration of Chas. B. Aycock and
Robert B. Glenn, electors foc the
Stare at large. They were called at
great sacrifice of personal comfort,
time and professional duties to hold
aloft the Cleveland colors on every
stump and they needed the call. No
two nen ever made more reputation
in the same length of time, and GER
tainly no two ever made ADLER Or
stronger presentation of the gospel
Of Democracy. We have Won, and
it is largely due to the brilliant cam
paign they made. Il is an open Sc
oret that n =. Aycock would like to
be Q. S, District Attorney for Eas-
tern North Carolina, aud Mr.. Glenn
desires the same position for Wes-
tern North Carolina. There are
other deserving men and there are
other piums. Bat no two men are
SO conspicuously entitled to receive
the recognition of their ambitions
as Mr.. Aycock and Mr.. Glenn. The
AdUance suggests to all aspirants:
Give Mr. Aycock and Mr.. Glenn
these positions without contest. Let
them have the qualification of kEow
ing that their Services are so highly
appreciated that, without contest,
the whole people of the State gives
this deserved expression Of conf
dence and gratitude. It would be
more seemly that this should be
done by acclamation, and it would
please all the friends of these gen
tlemen if this should be done.

$fs6.OOO,OOo for Pensions.

The election is now over and
Secretary Foster has no reason to
attempt further concealment Of the
dep!crable conditions Of the ma
tional Treasury. 1t is now adj
mitted that the deficiencies 10 be
provided Tor by coming session Of
Congress, added to the other aps
propriations which are indispenss
able, will bankrupt the Treasury.
Ia short, the present adminiss
tration has scattered the surplus OF
S6O,OOO,OO0 left by President
Cleveland, made forced loan Of
s55 100000 Of the bank redemp1
ton fund and scattered that. and
now with increased taxes imposed
upon the people, the public Treas
ury is looted and the revenue uns
equal TO the expenditures.
The political trickery Of the
Pension Office in suppresaing the
cost of the profigate pension sys>
tenn until after the election, is evil
denced by the demand Commisp
sioner Raum will make for $780,
100000 10 meet the deficiency OF
this year. The appropriation now
necessary for pensions By the cons
ing session of Congress, will be
$1s6,O00,00O.
If this sum be the maximum Of
pension extravaganza under onr
pension laws, there would be hope
Of early reduction; but it is now
estimated that wit $1S6,000,0OO
for the present year, the appall-
ing sum of $2O0,0OO,O0O will be
necessary next year
What do the people propose to
do about this enormous and admits
tedly unjust pension expenditure!
Little if any more than one-half
of the amount goes TO worthy pen-
sioners, and the Treasury is now
ban nkrupted by this fearful profigs
acy. The revenues, even with
high taxes, will not pay the pres
ent pensions and legitimate exs
penses of the government, and
what is to be dones
One of two things must be &C
cepted at once. Either we must
largely increase taxes upon the
people, or we must weed out oul
unworthy and fraudulent pensions
Which will it bel The people
will protest against cutting off rohs
berry, and the protest of one or The
other must be respected.
Will the people demand that The
pension roll shall be made "a rol
of HONOR" as Mr.. Cleveland sng
gests, or will they be content te
pay from fifty to one hundred mil
lion of taxes annually to pay pen
sions to men who never honoree

OUR DUTY.
A Chapter cfPolitical Ethics for Sun
day Reflection.

Taking Political Economy for
cur guide, We assume the position
that the government which gives to
the people the best advantage for the
promotion of their interest and well
fare, is indeed the fulflment Of the
chief purpose for which it was es-
tablished, and therefore should re-
ceive the hearty support of its sub
jeets.
This, We believe, is the object of
the Democratic party, as evihced in
all Of its proceedings, from its in :
ception down to the present day.
Let US see: Thos. Jefferson.
Madison and Muuroe, and later on
Jackson, and last, though not least,
the President-elect, Grover Cleve-
land, have endeavored to secure such
legislation as would be promotive of
this end. In the four years that the
last named filled the executive chair,
we find by reference to all of his
messages and utterances, a remark
able coincidence in every particular.
Such a man, as well as such a states
man, Is not met up with in everyday
life; and bat is better still, the peo
pie, so believing, have given the
most expressive AID decided evi-
dence by the almost unprecedented
and overwhelming vote cast at the
ballot box.
Conceding this to be the truth, we
feel and believe that in view Of pub,
lie expectation, the incoming ad-
ministration will be wise enough to
move both cautiously and sure; and
first and foremost, as Of paramount
Importance, it must, in the exercise
OF It's appointing power, see to it
that the Augean Stables are thor
oughly czeaased by the removal frcm
office Of all those who have been cor
rupt and betrayed the confidence
rcpos9d in them.
Such, for instance, as the manage
ment Of the Treasury Department,
which, we are told, is deficient in
funds needed for the main tenance of
the Government, and the obliga-
tions incurred by Congressional en-
actlnents, embracing such measures
as Internal improvements, Pen
sions, etc.
Then, again, there is the Tariff.
This has got to be reyised and so
amended that McKlnley's odious
Bill may be killed, and taxation
reduced, and the people be thereby
relieved Of needless oppression.
Now, it seems to rs that the un-
wise administration Of President
Harrison has left big Job for the
incoming Administration to execute,
and while it has to be done, it must
be done, and yet not hastily. No
-"haste might make waste''
and afford "nuts for our enemies to
crack"
Already our opponents are indulg-
ing in the hope that mistakes will
De made. Let us disappoint them.
We can, and we hope it will be done.
The judicious appointment of the
various Congressional committees
will constitute the important factors
in this direction, and with the assur-
ance Of having a wise Executive to
manage the helm, we may go on to
higher and nobler destiny than
has ever been reached be ore in the
history OF our nation!
We believe benefcent Providence
is with us-in approval-and all we
have to do, in the use Of the means
afforded us, is to be Gas wise as SER
pents and as prudent as doYes."

After Mr.. CIeVelanQ election IL

there was extra hunger among the
Democrats for Office. They had
been absolutely out in the cold since
Buchanan's term expired, March
4th, 1861. 1t was observable, too,
that the fierce Democracy Of many
found expression IN a painful solici-
