ha 4 great iDf ieuce IN shaping the policy
Of the last dem ocf alto ADMINISTRATION.
lie has more real influences in his qnist
way than auy other meu5er OF the Csbi
net. VT, the exception perbsp, Of Mr.
whitney. His four years iu the post oc'
Gu ird by bin in the White Houss have
siven,bim . thorough Knowledge ot.ns
tiousl sffnr, HIS furihes experience IN
large business affairs 10 New York qnalii
ies him for the post OF administering any
one OF the department where good BUSH
ness requirements are essential He would
do we'll 10 any one Of the departments net
requiring special techuiosl knowledge,
like the Treasury or the Department Of
Justice.
Prominent dem ocrats sRree that Sens'
tor Carlisle has beeE asked accepted the
portfolio OF the Treasury. Mr. Carlisle 10
one OF the best informed public men in
tbs country. He has batter knowled 20
OF the tsriff and financial subjects than
spy democrat 10 Ccnprsss. He has . very
clear. persuasive style. He never indulge
10 any flowers Of speech. He avoides care,
fully the methods u many Southern Oral
tors ia their eXsgseration and over color
ing.
Technically be is 9 free trader. but left
TO himself be would treat the country
TO homeopathic doses OF free trade and
modify the tariff only ia = slight degree
from time to time, approaching the object
Of bis desires by the slowest possible
stages. He is binetellist. but Is opposed
to unlimited coinsge Of the silver dollar.
Mr.. Carlisle is IS years old.
II is probable thst Mr.. Bsysrd will have
. foreign appointment He has oil OF the
dignity and department required for flli
ing the 0lfiee Of minister where the du'
ties are purely eocial. In social lie be
is very smiable and rehued. Yet II be
we're 10 be confronted in bis foreign post
with any great issue involving the interest
Of this country his smisbiIity would be an
element Of weakness. He has no great
strength OF character
One OF the best names mentioned In
connection with the new appointments to
be made is thst OF Mr.. Phelps, former
minister 10 T. ,gIand. Some OF the papers
have said thh he could not be selected
Tor any hiah Office for the reason that he
vas couns. for the Alssks Fur Seal Conn
psny.
This absurd statement was based upon |
the fact that Mr. Phelps is today counsel
for the Uni ed States Government before
the Board Of Arbitration selected 10 pass
upon the Beripg Ses dispute. MIR. Phelps
received bis appointment from MIR. Hsr-
rison. Mr. Phelps is one OF the few demo'
crsts 10 the country who have placed bis
county above mere party When Mr..
Blaine vas Secretary Of State biz conven
ton concerning the tights Of this country
10 the seal fisheries was supported BY Mr..
Phelps.
Mr.. Phelps presented neatly the same
view when he vas Minister TO England.
II ~ss his honest and upright support OF
this policy which su,i'ied him to the APP
poiptmsut of special counsel vt the hands
81 Mr.. H.rfi.on. Mr. Phelps is scholar
snd . gentleman OF great social sbiliiies
H. ives one Of the most popular Ministers
% have ever .ent TO Engl4ni. He is very
,riei. very rsfnea. sna ~,tn nothing OF
he psriissn politician IN his nature.
