WAsuINGToN, June 10. - There Is
record making work ahead OF at least
two members OF the cabinet Of Presi-
dent cleveland. One of these secre-
tarieS is Hon John G. Carlisle, and the
other Walter Q. Gresham. The other
members of the presidents official fam
lily. under present circumstances, will
be east III the background for some
time to come, at least. however much
they may do or accomplish. Not since
Abraham Lincoln took the reins Of GOV
ernment ti!rty-tWo years ago has an
administration at the very outset been
called upon to meet so many and
SO Weighty questions as we're be-
Queathed to Grover Cleveland and
his advisers by the administration of
Benjamin Harrison. The load is very
heavy, and it was all deposited in the
state and treasury departments.
Before the state department the
Hawaiian problem fingers still, and at
Paris the Behring Sea arbitration drags
its weary length along. In other times
the Hawaiian question alone would b.: of
absorbing interest and every move
would be closely watched by the people,
but at the present time the most SEN
sational happenings at Honolulu creates
10 comment. The real facts of the case
are that the people have
Something Else TO Think About
This is not a time for the study Of
diplomacy. There is more vital sub
ject pressing for the attention and con-
sheraton of the people. The financial
situation of the country, while there is
40 reason for 1t, seems to he very
serious. There is lack of confidence,
which is destructive to business and
enterprise. In speaking of this the
other evening Col. James Mcknight, of
the Northern Pacific railroad, SAID:
'Twenty-dollar gold pieces cannot be
had in New York now"
How long will this condition last?"
ut cannot last long" was the reply.
There is no lack OF money. The banks
and vaults are full of it, but they
are making nothing but call loans.
However, this money must be invested,
ana 1t Will not he allowed to remain
idle long"
The fact that this financial scare is an
inherited difficulty is generally under
stood by the people. but too many are
attrlbuting the whole trodbIe to the
Sherman act. The Sherman act,
foolish as it is, did not do as
much to destroy confidence and
OrlhE about the present conditions as
the last six weeks of Secretary Foster
In the treasury department. When
Secretary Carlisle took hold of the de-
pariiHrnt it was demoralzed. Every
tmpl0ye, OF whatever degree, was being
qu0ied on the situation, and Mr.. Foster
himself was
Trott:ng Betvyeen WALL Street
and the White house, working as zeal
CuSly as paid lobbyist to induce Presi-
dent Harrison to issue bonds. But the
latter was immoyable, and the scheme
fail Il. In this connection it is corsid-
crru quite likely by those OH the inside
that Secretary Fosters failure would
not have come 50 quickly had bonds
been issued.
But Secretary Carlisle is made of diff
feFent material. He will restore conf
dence, and it will not be done through
BOND issue. BY giving the New York
bankers the cold shoulder he has won
to his side the people of the entire coun-
try. who will stand by him IN his Strug-
gle to run the national treasury indie
pendently of Wall street. To effect this
divorce of connection that has lasted
thirty years is no easy task; and, if
Accomplished by Secretary Car
Isle,
as it will be. his name will be linked with
that of Hamilton, Gallatin, Guthrie and
Walker, among the great heads of the
treasury department. There is work
enough of the record making order in
the state department, but the impartial
observer must confess that Secretary
Carlisle will have rather the advantage
OF his Illinois rival in the race for pop
ular favor.
Perhaps owing to the favor with
which the movements of Secretary Car
lIslP have been received by all sections
Of the country, the papers of the oppo-
sitOn have started to talk about a "Car-
Isle faction" which has been built up,
according to these organs, in some un-
accountable way. There is no Carlisle
faction" but there is solid and united
Democratic party that will support the
recommendation and policies OF the
great Kentuckian in congress and be-
tore the people.
