SENATOR MORGAN AND II
CABINET,

President CLEVELAND could not
choose for his Secretary of State a
better equipped statesman. a more
accomplished diplomat, a man
better versed in International law
and Foreign affairs, than Ala
bama's distinguished son, Sena-
tar John T. Morgan.
But Senator Morgan declares he
has not the remotest idea of accepts
ing the position, ever if it had
been offered him, which is not the
fact.
Alafamians, and people of the
South generally, irrespective Of
State. will not be sorry to hear the
distinguished Senator say this.
The people need him in the Senate,
where be can be far more service
able than he possible conld in the
Cabinet. The Cabinet, after all,
though a place of great honor
and eminent distinction, is bat an
advisory council to the Executive,
and the members generally exert
but a limited influence upon Ma
tional legislation. 1t is four years
of comparative %usele,snes', of Sins
nocuous desuetude; for men who
might, in other positions, be of
great service to the country.
At this particular time the
South can ill-sfford to lose its
strongest men in the United States
Senate. Indeed, the expression Of
regret is general that Senator
Carlisle ha, sec fit, az is under~
stood, to resign his Senatorship to
accept a POSITION in the Cabinet
The belief is that he could be far
o useful and efficient in the
Senate. How often have we heard
it said that the South lost two Of
it's best Senators when Messrs.
Garland and Lamar went into
President Clevelaud's Cabinet and
that the country had two rather
ordinary officials in their respect
i've positions in the Cabinet The
truth 10 q good Senator does not
always make a great minister of
Government.
Now above all times in its HE
tory the South needs men in the
National Congress who have be.
come known to the country, and
whose utterances in consequence
r worthy of note and attract ats
tention. Our greatest men are
needed in positions where their
section's interest can be best sub.
served, where legislation can be
shaped and the business interest oil
territory now looking exclusive
~ 20 business tor advancement car
be most easily promoted.
There is much wisdom in the
declaration of the Houston Tex
Post, when it sage. 'Tnere is moth
ing that the South so much needs
at this time as to watch its inter
este. to keep its Oldest and mos
vigilant observers on guard, A
great future is in store for it if it,
opportunities r but half grasped
The National Legislature is the
theatre in which the greatest de,
gree ofsnccess can be attained. 1;
ought, therefore, to be a prayer Of
the South that it's best known
mel should be left in the legisla,
tive positions, in which they can
accomplish something of matreial
benefit to their section"
Senator Morgan, while worthy
of the most eminent position that
this country has to confer, either in
the Cabinet or elsewhere, will
crafty entire South by bis
intention to remain at his present
post of PRACTICAL usefulness and
honor.

Breaking Up the German Army.

A story is told of a certain young New
York woman who was recently abroad.
While walking out in Dresden one day
the stolidity of the soldier sentinels pacing
back and forth like automata attracted her
notice. A sudden impulse seized her to
test this cast iron rigidity, and waiting till
one had passed she slipped into his little
sentry box. When he reached it on his re-
turn, marching with measured precision,
she suddenly jumped out before him, cry
ing "Boo!" in his very face.
The soldier was completely upset at this
unexpected performance and actually
dropped his musket and ran away, while
the young woman, having thus routed a
portion Of the German army. walked on
and demurely rejoined her friends. The
incident, it Is said, came to the ears Of the
emperor himself, who expressed wish to
meet this extraordinary young woman, but
Miss - admitted that her desire did not
equal his, as she was not sure in quite what
light her testing impulse would be Official
ly regarded.-NewY York Times

Tho First Posts.

The first posts are said to have originated
in the regular couriers established by Cy-
rus about $50 B. c., who erected post
houses throughout the kingdom Of Persia
Augustus was the first to introduce this
institution among the Romans, 81 B. c.,
and he was initiated by Charlemaene about
800 A. d. Louis III was the first sovereign
to establish posthouses in France owing to
his eagerness for news, and they were also
the first institution of this nature in Eu-
rope. This was in 1870, or about 1900
years after they were started in Persia
In England in the reign of Edward "

Great Rock Island Route
TO THE EAST.

Best Dining Car Service in the World.
The Rock Island is foremost in
adopting any advantage calculated
to improve speed and give that lux
ury, safety and comfort that popular
patronage demands. Its equipment
is thoroughly complete with vesti-
buled trains. magnificent dining
cars, sleepers and chair coaches, all
the most elegant. and of recently i'm
proved patterns.
Faithful and capable management
and polite, honest service from en-
ployes are important items. They
are double duty-to the company
and to travelers-and it is sometimes
task difficult of accomplishment.
Passengers on this line will find little
cause for complaint on that ground.
REMEMBER
The Great Rock Island Route runs all
regular trains to Englewood subur-
ban station, close to Worlds Fair
grounds, and you can save time and
trouble by getting off at that point
md avoid the crowd in the city.

feet in diameter, to each other. After ex-
hausting the air by his apparatus he at
