The suggestion thrown ont few days
/ ago By the New York Times that the nay
of cabinet officers ought 20 BE- >inc-ealed is
one TO which congress should give very
careful consideration. A poor man who
has family to support cannot afford TO &C
cept a position in the cabinet for
! a number OF reasons. de must earn
a living for himself and those de-
pendent upon him aud save something
for the necessities OF old age. He may be
able TO live in very quiet way on the pay
of cabinet officer, but he cannot save any
thing, and at the end Of his term he is with
out any kind OF business that will afford
him an income. Nearly all Of those who
accept cabinet positions are able to earn
more in business or in profession than
the amount of the salary of q cabinet
oficer, and, that too, with a certainty
almost Of a steady increase in his income.
When the salaries Of cabinet officers were
fixed they was thought TO be exceedingly
liberal, but the calls upon the purse Of a
cabinet officer are very much greater now
than they were then. He has 20 DO vast
amount Of entertaining. He cannot very
well avoid it. During the winter people Of
prominence from all parts Of the country
make Washington their headquarters and
they, as we'll as congressman, expect to re-
ceivs courtesies from the members OF the
government. A great deal Of attention has
to be given also 70 the representatives Of
foreign governments.
No doubt Mr.. Wanamaker has spent
several times the amount Of his salary dur
ing the time he has been 10 Washington,
and what Is true Of him is true Of other
members OF the present cabinet. They
cannot avoid q certain amount Of enter
tanning without subjecting themselves to
unfriendly criticism. To entertain in Wash
ington now costs much more than formerly,
and few entertainments take large part
Of the salary Of cabinet officer.
Entertaining Is not, of course, obligatory,
but a member of the cabinet who should
fail to keep abreast of the social life of the
national capital would not find his position
an altogether pleasant one. The fact that
a cabinet officers salary is small is not taken
into consideration, and IL his efforts to meet
his social obligations should be more modest
than his position warrants he would lose
some Of the influence probably TO which he
Ia entitled.
The impression has been given out that
Mr. Cleveland does not expect the members
of his cabinet TO do much in a social way,
but bis views with respect to
the matter do not count for much. There
is general desire among democrats that a
democratic administration shall be as
brilliant socially as a republican one, and
the Democratic party would hardly be sat-
isaed il it were not.
Social life at Washington has kept pace
With that Of other cities and with the grow
ing wealth of the people. Neither Mr..
Cleveland nor any one else can check the
tendency toward lavish display which
wealth permits. The fact should be recog-
nized, therefore, that IL cabinet officers
are expected to maintain establishments In
harmony with the greatness Of the country
they should be paid salaries that would en-
able them to do 80.

NJ Rland,a Throat.

The threat Of Congressman Bland that II
the effort to repeal the silver purchase act
| is persisted in it may bring about split in
the Democratic party, justiies the question
whether be thinks the Democratic party
was sincere when it placed on its
national platform its condemnation
OF that act. The democratic national
convention said: 1--WE denouuce the re-
publican legislation known as the Sherman
ect Of 1870 as a cowardly makeshift, fraught
with possibilities OF danger in the future
which should make all OF its supporters as
well as its authors anxious for its speedy
repealn Mr.. Bland approved this
provision Of the platform. At
least, he said nothing against
it. II he did not approve it he led the
people to believe he did. A very large ma
jority Of the people approved 1t in the most
emphatic way they could.
Mr.. Band now says that the silver pur-
chase act Is satisfactory to a large portion
Of the democrats, aud he aud other
congressman object 20 its repeal unless
legislation equally satisfactory TO them is
substituted for it.
peal the silver purchase act. Does Mr..
Bland wish TO be understood that large
portion Of the Democratic party is in favor
Of violating its solemn pledgel There is
nothing in the democratic national platform
about passing a substitute for the silver
purchase act. The dangerous character Of
that act is recognized, and the necessity for
its repeal is stated. How then can Mr..
Bland, or any other democrat, con-
scientiously oppose its repeall Is Mr.. Bland
aud those democrats who are acting with
him in this matter true 10 their party when
they oppose the repeal Of that act and
threaten to cause a split in the party II 1t is
repealed without the enactment Of such
other legislation relative TO silver as Is
satisfactory to theml
The only honest course for the Democratic
party to pursue is to keep it's pledge to the
people and repeal the act it so strongly con-
dennis in its national platform. The ques-
ton whether there should be any other
legislation relative to silver should be con-
sidered afterward
II Mr. Bland had protested during the
presidential campaign against that provision
OF the democratic national platform which
condemns the silver purchase act, there
would be some excuse for his present atti-
tude in respect to that act, but as he ec-
copied the platform aud urged its indorse-
ment by the people, he is morally bound by
the pledges 1t contains. His threat of a
split in the Democratic party, therefore, is
not oreditable TO him.

vide better apparatus at no greater cost.

The Nicaragua Canal Bill.

1t has been evident for some time that
strong lobby is at work in Washington try
ing to defeat the bill which provides that
this government shall guarantee $10o, oOO, 900
OF the Nicaragua canal bonds. The i'm
preston ia that the Pacific Mail Company is
furnishing the money to maintain the
lobby. And 1t is asserted that the same
company is trying to repress French infu-
ence on the Isthmus of Panama. The
French company is trying to get
the Colombian government to extend the
conce ssions made to it. These concessions
have now about expired. II the Pacific
Mail Company can get the Colombian
government TO refuse to extend the con-
oessions to the French company, and this
government TO withhold its guarantee of
Nicaragua canal bonds, it believes it can
form a company with sufficient capital TO
complete the Panama canal That, at least,
is the prevailing impression at Washington
relative to canal matters.
DR.. Nunez. the president Of Colombia,
will, it is expected, be in Washington within
q couple OF months. He is expected to be
present at the opening of the worlds fair.
When he arrives strong effort is to be
made to see if the Panama scheme cannot
be resurrected. If the concessions to the
French are not renewed the Colombian
government will own the Panama
canal as far as completed. 1t
is estimated that the canal can
be finished for a sum not gres or than it
would cost to construct the Nicaragua
canal. II the Colombian government
stould enter into the proposed
scheme there would be no outlay for that
part Of the canal which has been con-
structei, because it would belong TO the
Colombian government, which would be-
come the owner of very large part Of the
shares Of the proposed American company.
In view of the fact that able engineers
have said that the Panama canal Is i'm
practicable it is very probable that the
Pacific Mail Company would find it ex-
tremelv difficult, if not impossible, to get
Americans TO put any more money in IT,
The effort in behalf Of the canal may only
delay the completion OF the Nicaragua canal.
