ulate as to what foundation there may be
for prophecy.
He is, like all his predecessors but
three, of old English stock. The Gresh-
ans came from England with a grant of
lands in what is now Kent county, Nd,
and from this and other facts it is in
ferred that they were a branch of the
noble Greshams, the most noted of
whom was the Sir Thomas Gresham,
finance minister, or rather negotiating
agent, of Edward VI, Mary and Eliza
beth, and the first to set forth what is
called 'Gresham's law" in finance The
family scattered, of course, in America,
and Walter guinton Gresham was born
in Harrison county, Ind, March II, 1882.
He gained but an imperfect education in
early life, studied law, was elected to the
legislature in 1860, and in August, 1861,
was commissioned lieutenant colonel of
the Thirty-eighth Indiana. He won the
rank Of brevet major general by good
service and returned to the law.
His career as judge, postmaster gen.
eral and for few days secretary of the
judge again and finally as candidate for
the Republican nomination for the presi-
dency are familiar to all Americans.
Hamilton, Gallatin, Walker, Guthrie,
Chase, McCulloch, Sherman, Window
and Manning have confessedly been our
great secretaries of the treasury, and
John Griffin Carlisle will have to meet
difficulties little if any less than most of
them encountered. 1t is a very encour-
aging fact that all parties express great
confidence in his ability to meet them.
1t is funny fact that though the sec
rotary of the treasury has far more pat
ronage, measured by money values, than
any other cabinet official, and despite re-
peated warnings patronage is still held
as the stepping stone thereto, no secre-
tary Of the treasury has ever become
president.

selection excited the most surprise is Hoke
Smith, who isvery young, only 81, but has

Strong and Weak Spelling.

Speaking in broad and general way, and
admitting that every one is likely to mis-
spell word of the English language at
some time in his life, spoilers may be di-
vided into two classes-the ''strong spoilers"
and the weak spellers." What "strong
spelling" means may be illustrated by the
photographed maxim and practice of an
excellent gentleman who is now dead. His
rule was, "Never misspell a word for want
of putting in enough letters" Acting on
this principle, he spelled girl gearle, do doe
and get gette.
This trait would seem to indicate lib
eral disposition, and this gentleman was
certainly "A very literally minded man. His
'strong spelling" did not prevent him from
serving the public acceptably in several ca
pacities.
Another strong speiier always insisted
upon writing the word perhaps" thus, per-
hapse Though he was frequently remon-
strated with and repeatedly told that there
was no final e on the word, he continued to
spell it that way.
A thoroughly 'strong speller" always
seems to be accorded a certain sympathy
and even admiration by those who ortlina-
rily spell correctly while IA weak speller" is
always laughed at. What weak spelling"
means may be illustrated by the case of a
gentleman who recently wrote "enthusi-
asm" thus, entheusam, and who generally
spells suggest" sojest
The same gentleman is known to have
spelled penalty pelenty, but popularity
of his case is that he never mispronounces
a word and always appears in conversation
what he certainly is, cultivated gentle
man.-Youth's Companion.

The Leaflets Were Popular.

There is a story of an officer in command
of a troopship who, having embraced a
somewhat sensational form Of religious be
lief himself, was active in distributing
tracts setting forth these views among his
men. To his extreme qualification these
leaflets were received with thankfulness,
and even asked for. So great indeed was
the run" on these special publications
that the amateur missionary's stock was
soon exhausted, and he had to fall back
upon a collection of less exciting religious
literature.
These tracts are not equal to the old
ones" remarked the officer as he dealt
them out 20 the sergeant. II dare say the
men find the difference" Eyes, sir, indeed
they do" was the prompt reply. There
never was such good paper for pipelights
as the first lot made; them others amt to
be named with them. Manchester Times.

done wonders. 1t seems to have been
the rule that every third or fourth cabi.
net is predestined failure-at any rate
that its members fail to harmonize-and
apparently the strength of the president
has little or nothing to do with it. At
least two presidents of the most pro
nounced views and aggressive talents
have had their cabinets go to pieces al
most as fast as they could form them,
and at least two others, supposed before
their accession to be mere compromise
timber" have had cabinets of extraordi-
nary strength and held them well in
hand. But the reader may name the
cases for himself.
George Washington began with an at
tempt to form a nonpartisan cabinet,
with Hamilton and Knox, Federalists,
and jefferson and Randolph, Republic
ans Democrats0. 1t was not a success.
Parties were forming, and by an unerring
popular instinct the one rallied to Hamil-
ton and the otherto Jefferson. Hamilton
and /" said the latter, "were matched
against each other like fighting cocks
and fought out every detail" Washing
ton had tact and forbearance enough,
but he could not drive fast and slow
horse in an even team. The situation be-
came intolerable, and on Jan. 1, 1894, he
accepted Jefferson's resignation. Ed
mund Randolph went out the next day,
and thereafter the cabinet was for the
most part Federal.

son and Hayes and two or three other
presidents, and very much more might
be said of the sappointments-for it is
an interesting fact that more expecta-
tons have been frustrated and more
prophecies falsifed as to this than as to
any other part Of our political machin-
cry.
The student of history will tell you
how Grant had the greatest number Of
cabinet members-25 in all-and John
Quincy Adams the fewest-seyen; how
Jackson had the most trouble with his
cabinets and Pierce probably the least;
how the members of Folks cabinet were
nngularly fortunate in their personal
and political careers and those of Tyler's
most unfortunate, so overwhelmed in
deed by calamities that grave men spoke

nemesis like that which the Greeks once
believed to pursue and destroy certain

was hanged on the national brig Somers

murder.

there are no precedents to justify them.

qualifications.

II this were history of cabinets, some
curious and to many people startling
facts might be given. One is the gen.
orally admitted fact that Franklin
Pierce, probably the most obscure man
ever nominated for the presidency, had
the greatest success with his cabinet.
Other presidents have of course sustained
as pleasant relations with theirs, and
some have made more brilliant records,
but President Pierce not only lived on
terms of cordial, almost affectionate, as
ISOLATION with his secretaries, but re-
tanned their warmest regards till death
separated them, and some Of them be-
came quite famous. In truth, President
Pierce's personal attachment to Secre-
tary Davis caused him no little trouble.
The fact that jefferson Davis after
ward organized an 'unpleasantness"
must not make us forget that he was a
remarkable success as secretary Of war.
james Guthrie was equally successful in
the treasury, and William l.. Marcy's
fame as secretary of state is fixed for all
time. Martin Van Buren, and Willard
Fillmore also lived in very pleasant rela-
lions with their cabinets, but both were
men with whom any gentleman could
live pleasantly. Andrew Jacksons po-
iticaI household, on the other hand, was
a continuing storm center. IL is very
curious history this of cabinet relations.

IN VIEW OF FINANCE.

President Cleveland's reference to
the silver question accords with his
well known views in favor of the
single gold standard, while his sug-
gestion as to the issue of bonds is a
logical sequence of those views.
With half the money of redemption
eliminated from the foundation of
credits and the monthly addition to
the currency, which was the saving
clause of the Sherman law, cut off,
the issue of bonds indefinitely aud
for the indefinite sums is the only
alternative for return to the gold
and silver basis money of the consti-
tuition. The mintage rights of silver
must be restored, or the country
must be burdened with an ever in
creasing interest bearing debt.
Mr.. Clevenland recognizes that the
relief which was promised to follow
the cessation of silver purchased by
the government has not been realized
but he seeks to encourage the belief
that the prophecy will be ultimately
fulfilled-ratherc cold comfort to the
country. He sincerely hopes that
silver agitation will cease and that
efforts to procure legislation favorable

The hope is expressed In prudential
and diplomatic way, which is an in
direct recognition of the bimetallic
sentiment of the nation and about all
the recognition that sentiment re-
ceives in the message.
The whole purport of the Presi-
dents remarks on silver point to a
desire that the silver issue may be
allowed to drop out of sight. 1t will
not be questioned since his message
to the special session of Congress,
and since the extraordinary part he
took in securing unconditional repeal,
that Mr.. Cleveland is at least as un-
friendly to the restoration of silver
as any public man in the United
States-as John Sherman, for in
stance. Yet he asks Congress to
desist from any legislation on the
subject, save only such as would
place the silver interest teetotally in
his charge, to be advanced when
in his discretion its advance should
become practicable.-Den News
