will be very glad on Mr.. Thurston's

THE rumor has been renewed within
the last few days that Ex-Congress-
man William McAdoo is to be given
the high post of Assistant Secretary
of the Navy. Although Mr.. McAdoo
has deserted this State and become a
citizen of New York, it is not a mis-
take to say that every Jerseyman will
feel both proud and rejoiced at Mr.. Nc
Adoo's advancement. Mr.. McAdoo
made many bad political mistakes, he
earned enemies for himself where he
might have made friends. But the
people, in the main, approved his
course In Congress. He was admired
for bis brilliancy and respected for his
usefulness. He is particularly we'll
fitted for his new post. He served OH
the Committee on Naval Affairs of
the House for at least two terms. He
is thoroughly familiar with the bust
ness and needs of the Department.
Our New Navy, as it is called, was
built up under his eye, in n sense
His career as an executive officer of
the Government, we believe. will be
as distinguished as his service in

expect, to still higher honors.

"reminiscences OF HIS hea0fness OF VIII
in Emergencies Cropping Out.
Stories of General Brtler are in order
just now. Here are a few good ones
Once, while he was in Congress, he di-
vided his time with a fellow member,
when a question. in which be was not
specially interested. came up for debate.
The member talked more than his share,
and on being called to order, remarked:-
"Mr. Speaker, General Butler kindly
divided his time with me-"
s.That's true" Butler replied, "but !
didn't divide eternity with you"
The General was present Que night at a
dancing party, but %contented himself

Undertaking to talk down a crowd OF
street rioters, he had an apple thrown at
him. Putting out his hand he dexter

pleased the rioters. and he was given a

lative.
The selections made by President
Cleveland for his Cabinet, and avow-
ed by him in the newspapers, yester-
day, are such as to win the general
approval, and confirm the general con-
fdence that the coming administra-
ton, like Mr.. Cleveland's former one.
will be conducted entirely in the IN
terest of the people. The choice OF
MI. Gresham, for Secretary of State,
is not exactly calculated to arouse
the enthusiasm of Eastern Demo
Gratis, though there can be. OF course,
not a shade of opposition to it-but
it is an appointment designed espec-
tally to please the West, and when we
consider the magnificent par t the
West played in the victory OF last
November, it can only be said that 1t
is impossible to give that part OF the
country more favor than it is entitled
to at the hands of the Democracy.
Gresham seems to be the hero of the
West in these days. and it is right and
proper that the President elect should
take account of that fact.
In the designation of Mr.. Lamont
for the War Depa rtment and Wilson
S. Bissell as Postmaster General,
Mr.. Cleveland has given New York
State all she is likely to receive.
The politicians will hardly be over
jubilant concerning the selections;
they are not just their style. MIR.
Cleveland has chosen old and tried
friends and allies, however, men
whose ability and fidelity he knows
he can rely on. The people at large,
we believe, will support him.
John G. Carlisle, as Secretary of the
Treasury, will probably be the most
popular of also far as the appoint
ments are yet known. Carlisle's mas
terly intellect and consummate I'M
Outstanding of financial and economic
matters make him eminently fitted
for the place. Over and above that,
there is something about the man that
is attractive to the people, that wins
not only confidence but personal
liking. We believe he will be the
popular man of the administration.
The South will have another repre-
sentative in the person of Hoke
Smith of Georgia, as Secretary of the
Interior Department. 1t appears,
therefore, that no m ember of Mr..
C~leveland's old Cabinet is to go back
into office with him.
With Mr. Cleveland, CUES sing is the
blindest kind of process until every
thing is settled. He is extraordinarily
outspoken, to judge by yesterdays
papers, when there is something posi-
tive to say. but, until then. as John
Martin of Kansas put it. He is the
best listener and the worst talker in
the world.n In his appointments he
has always been a man of surprises,
and guessing as to what he will do in
respect to the three portfolios, as yet
unsettled. is mere idleness. He has
treated the country to at least one SEN
sation in the makeup of the Cabinet
already, and only himself knows what
more he may have in reserve. We
venture only one prophecy:-Who-
ever the men are, they will be good
ones.
