perfect gentleman and ripe scholar, but
ono who was never suspicioned OF marked
political ability. Cleveland really only had
one man of frsi-class ability in his Cabinet;
that was William C. Whitney. The others,
Daniel Manning. William c. Endicott. Luz
Gus Lamar, William Villas and Augustus
Garland, were, if not drags on his admins
tration, at least helpless as supp orters.
Cleveland was consistent in his choosing
them; he intended TO run the administra-
ton himself, and only wanted a lot OF clerks
TO execute his deere es.
AS the country grows and the Government
has TO deal with questions of larger scope.
more ability and broader craftsmanship are
required in those who administer the az
fairs of the nation. Before the war the
mistakes which were constantly being made
by successive administrations touched such
small interests aud so few people that they
did not matter much. /! is different now.
A mistake committed by one Of the depart
ments may involve very serious c0nse-
quences, and it would seem that President
owes it to himself to fill his Cabinet with
the very highest ability that can be f0nnd
in the land. At the present time of day,
the United States could not afford to make
such blunders as the Clayton-Bnl treaty.
or the Oregon treaty, or the Ostend mani
feSto. An administration which committed
such follies would be overwhelmed by pub
lie Indignation. Mr.. Cleveland probably
reckons on avoiding them by exercising per-
s0nal supervision over every department OF
the Government. He may succeed. But be

TIE ISLANDS ARE AMERICAN.

The CELEBRITY with which the nationality
Of the Hawaiian Islands was changed finds
precedent only in the results Of war The
United States did not plan to annex The isl
ands, but in less than a month after the
first annexation movement the transfer
was complete. There was less talk, less
contention. less expenditure of ink, than
two second-class pugilists would make in
arranging for a fight for a secOnd-class
purse. So far as is known there has been
~ growl from any quarter to cause a sus-
pension Of proceedings. All the parties i'm
mediately concerned appeared TO be willing,
and if there were parties remotely inter-
ested who were not they preserved dis
Greet silence. Il became apparent early in
the discussion that foreign protest would be
Of no avail The American people seem
rather anxious than otherwise to assert the
Monroe doctrine. France admitted its JUS
tice a score or more years ago when further
French aid was withheld from Macmillan,
then trying to establish his title Empe-
Tor OF Mexico. England has not given an
equally clear token OF assent, though an
excellent opportunity to express dissent
was offered by the Hawaiian proposition.
Since the Islands have been taken under the
wing of the American eagle without protest
from any quarter the people Of the United
States may feel substantial assurance that
reasonable enforcement Of the Monroe
doctrine will meet with no considerable OPP
position from foreign Governments.

TIE sNAG IN THE WAY.

The North American Navigation Com
pany at present finds itself unable to lease
American steamers to take the freight that
steamers Of the same line leaving New
York will bring to Asplnwall to be trans
ported over the Panama Railroad. There
are three idle steamers In this port which
would answer every purpose. but they are
not open 20 negotiations. It is said that
they are either under lease to the Southern
Pacific Company or are In the hands Of men
who do not ike to offend that company. A
remedy for this condition of things would
be in an act Of Congress to the same pur-
port as the act permitting foreign built
Inman steamers 10 fly the American flag on
condition that ships Of equal tonnage should
be built in the United States. The Treas
ury Department does not see its way clear
to issue an order TO that effect. but it is
within the power Of Congress to afford re-
lief by a separate enactment. Upon con-
sideratiOD, however. We do not know which
member of our Congressional delegation
would be likely to move in the matter. Ii
would be too much TO ask Of Senator STAN
ford, since the Southern Pacific Company
Of which he is an official, is fighting to hold
its grip on US. The establishment of the
Colombian line Of steamers means good
many million dollars out of the Southern
Pacific C0mpany's treasury at time when
all its earnings are needed to pay interest

THE RAILROAD COMMISSION con-
DEMNED.

The report Of the Senate committee ap-
pointed to investigate the Railroad Com
mission justifies the vote in the House dis
missing the Commissioners from office. 1t
will be remembered that the Commissioners
pleaded that 1t was not just TO turn them
out OF office without hearing, and coDse-
quently the Senate gave them the hearing
they desired. -Four members of the Senate
Committee reach about the same conclusion
after the hearing that the House had
reached before. The report shows the
change in public sentiment in respect to
officials who profess to serve the people ana
really serve corporation. Several men,
bers OF the Senate will probably vote
against it, since the report. while not aimed
at them, reflects upon them. The commits
sion was created and members elected TO
stand between the exaetions Of railroad cor
porations and the people. Ii has had the
power to regulate railroad charges at all the
towns where rates we're being enforced Of
which complaint is now made. The present
commission appears to have made no effort
to perform its duties. The members per-
sonally were men of fair business reputa-
ton, but they seem to have entered upon
their duties with an impression that moth
ing was expected of them. The board is a
fair example Of the Southern Pacihc's polit-
zeal methods.

THE NEW CABINET.

The announcement that Hoke Smith OF
Georgia has been selected for Secretary of
the Interior leaves only three vacancies
in the Cabinet for quidnuncs TO fill. 1t
cannot be said. thus far, that Mr.. Cleve-
land has set his heart On surrounding him
self with a strong Cabinet. With the ex-
eeptioD of Judge Gresham and Senator
Carlisle, he seems to have sought TO fill his
council with persons who. if they possess
ability, have exhibited dexterity in con-
cealing it, Who is Hoke Smith, and who
is Mr.. Bissell of Buffalo?
There are two rules. either OF which a
President may follow in making up his
Cabinet he may choose men who have
been his personal friends and who have
laid his party under obligation by personal
services, or he may choose those who have
commanded public attention by the display
OF ability. Presidents generally try to do
both. Having an oprortHnity-whch will
never again occur in their lifetime-Of con-
ferring a high honor upon an old friend,
they are apt to want to oblige him. Party
leaders, with whom they have been In close
intercourse during the campaign. generally
have a candidate or two for the Cabinet
aud Presidents, not desiring to antagnnize
them at the outset Of an administration,
are inclined to pay off their indebtedness if
they can. Aud lastly. President who
has read history and knows the storms
through which an administration must
pass, always likes to organize his staff in
such a way that he will have sound adj
yisers and dexterOus defenders in the hour
Of conflict.
Mnch, however, depends on the char
acter of the man. Most men want 10 lean
on some one else. A few are self-rellant
aid seek no counsel except from their own
mind and conscience. Mr.. Cleveland be-
longs TO the latter class. Most of his prede-
cessnrs appertained to the former. Mr..
Garfield chose as his Chief Secretary a
man stronger than hmselt-James G.
Blaine. Rightly or wrongly. he was sup
posed to be the real power at Washington
under two administrations. Mr.. Hayes
selected William N. Evarts, who carried
much heavier artillery than the statesman
from Ohio. When Mr. Lincoln chose VIII
liam u. Seward it was supposed that he
was appointing the head Of the administra-
ton. 1t was not discovered till year or
two afterward that the President from
Illinois was much the stronger man Of the
two.
On the other hand. Mr.. Cleveland in 1885,
following the example of General Grant.
chose Mr. Bayard. Secretary Of State who
conferred no strength on his administration.
Grant had picked out Hamilton Fish. a

tree. lnasmuch as its roots greedily absorb
water, but the supply of water is not a
heavy item in the accounts. Apart from
the construction of artificial lakes. the total
charge for 1S9091 was S3907 65. The roads
are excellent and far surpass any elsewhere
within the city limits. Several of the
buildings in the park. such as the con-
servatory, the cafe for ladies and children,
the Casino and Strawberry Hill belvidere,
are gifts from the wealthy and only re-
quire maintenance.
The total area Of the Golden Gate Park Is
1915 acres. \ considerable portion has yet
to be reclaimed, but from the success OF
ee-growing at SutTo Park, near the Cliff
House. it can hardly be doubted that
eventually the whole will be planted with
trees and shrubs in vigorous life. The
maritime pine, with which Bermontier
achieved so much in the Landes of France.
and which literally has converted Arcachon
into a health resort. would probably assist
much In the reclamation.

ton and the officials of the Panama Rail-
road Company are understood to be
progressing favorably. 1t is to be hoped
that out of all these negotiations Will come
some plan to utilize for distribution the
available waterways of the State, as well as
the harbors of the coast north and south.
1t has been pointed out without reiutation
that interior rates are the key OF the solu-
ton of the transportation problem, and
happily nobody is now likely TO lose sight
of that fact Why it should have been
ignored so long is one of the curiosities OF
mercantile policy.
The Railroad Commissioners have now
been investigated. pronounced incompetent
in the superlative, comparative and positive
degrees and recommended for removal from
Office. -Four of the committee sign the re-
port. two dissent without assigning reasons,
and one excuses himself because he did not
hear the evidence. The Senate has the re-
port OF its committee before it. and public
curiosity Is whetted to see how il will dis
pose of so pronounced document. Mr..
Rea's scoring is not minced. No euphem-
ism or ambiguity is resorted 20 in exposing
his conduct as chairman. He is fatty told
that he is both incompetent and guilty OF
dereiction OF duty. even under the deflni-
ton given by the constitution. Mllder
terms of censure are applied to the other
com ssioners, but they also are pro-
nounced Incompetent. III they are removed
from Office nobody will regard the commits
sioners as martyrs. 1t is the Congratulated
public who are martyrs.
One of the Solons at Sacramento suggests
another commission. If all the inquisitOrial
bodies were created as recommended they
would soon be as numerous as ducks in
swamp. Senator Simpson has discovered
that commission is needed to look after
the loan and building associations, doubtless
on the ground that a few of these OCCASION
ally go wrong. Such commissions are rarely
created in the interest of shareholders, but
often in that Of Office holders. Public opin-
ion iDclines decidedly TO the latter view.
Herring have been so abundant In
Oystervile Bay. Wash, that vast numbers
have been left behind by the tides. Pre-
sumably, next to satisfying local wants no
use would ba made of the fish-not even for
manure. Yet from north to south of the
Pacific Coast behring's are imported from
the East and Europe - sailed, smoked,
pick led, spiced and half dried. Surely the
curing of behring's for home consumption
and export is an enterprise for the capital
ist. There are many kinds of gold mines
in trade.

GOLDEN GATE PARK.

To ascertain what Golden Gate Park has
cost, the annual reports presented during
twenty years must be examined and
analysed. To ascertain what work has
been done in retaining the sand dunes,
making roads. and rearing trees, shrubs
and flowers, the average citizen Of middle
age must trust good deal to his memory
for details. The secretary's reports on the
various items of construction and main
tenance are but partially instructive, the
precise details being omitted as 10 labor,
quantity of material used, measurement Of
grading or embanking, number of men,
horses and carts, number of trees and
shrubs planted, and many other things.
Nobody can tell from the published accounts
whether the money was we'll or i'll ex-
pended.
The total receipts for 1890-9l were S141.-
$50 81 and the disbursements were $780,
7s5 As, leaving balance Of 1924 Sc. For con-
struction and Improvement the amount
expended was So. sos 81; for maintenance.
$50. ga 70. There have been years when
the expense was much higher, and If may be
much higher hereafter. 4 hint was thrown
out some time ago that as much as $500, 900
could be usefully expended this year. From

Of the total receipts, and admitting that our
noble pleasure ground is beautiful, with an
unriyaled situation. it has certainly been
costly.
From the outset the work on the park
has been largely experimental, yet CON-
paratiyely few mistakes have been made in
bringing about cultivation over the arid
wastes. Lupin and coarse bent grass
achieved wonders in fixing the sand and
forming a sheltared soil for other plants.
