THE TREASURY

Officer.
WASHINGTON, Jan. "A telegram |
from Frankfort, KY, says 1t is reported
On reliable authority that Senator Carlisle
has decided to accept the secretaryship sc
of the treasury which has been rendered
him by Mr.. Cleveland. It is believed
that Mr.. Carlisle has accepted and the
contest for his successor is on Judge
Lindsay, who was Mr. Carlisle's chief op
ponent, will most probably succeed Mr..
Carlisle as senator. There is very
strong opinion throughout the country
that Senator Carlisle cannot render the
democratic party a better service than
by accepting the portfolio of the secretary
of the treasury. The eastern states are
fearful of the financial ideas and theories
of the west.
It would be good thing to have Mr..
Carlisle as secretary to practically dem
onstrate to the country that western
man can be as conservative. as able, and
as capable as man selected directly
from Wall street. 1t will be good OBJ
ject lesson for the lnoneyed men of the
east to see Mr.. Carlisle at the headof the
treasury. S
Should he accept this place Mr. Carlisle
becomes more of national character
No matter how much his ability as sen
| tor is conceded, he is still closely con
nected with the state of Kentucky. A.
secretary OF the treasury he deals with
national affairs and is given an oppor
tunity to step upward. possibly, to the
Presidency. If Mr. Carlisle goes into
the treasury he will become, through
the daily evidence of his capability, a
prominent candidate for the Presidency
Mr.. Cleveland, who cannot expect re
nomination, would rather aid than hin
der such an outcome. For the next four
years the secretary Of the treasury will
be the greatest person in the cabinet
England is far m ire inter ested ju>t now
In learning who will be the secretary of
the treasury than she is who will be the
secretary of state. This equally true of
every other European country. There
are no diplomatic questions as important
as the silver question or the tariff With
Mr.. Carlisle In the treasury he has an
opportunity to bring his ackno wledged
talents to the full view of the world
