Mr.. Cleveland is reported as
saying that in selecting his cabi-
net, he has done so without any
regard to mere geographical To-
cation, his only intention being
to secure men who would stand
by his administrative ideas and
in whom he could place implicit
confidence. Mr.. Cleveland is
exactly right. A President has
to shoulder all the RESPONSE
bility, and because of this should
exercise full and free choice in the
selection of his advisers. Mr..
Cleveland is to be President four
years, if he lives, and no true
American, having at heart the
best interests of the nation, will
wish anything but success for
his administration. Love OF
country may safely he placed in
advance of love of party, and
that, too, without any discrcdit
to the latter.

4 Plain Statement of Facts about the
Government Finances.
[From the New York Tribunel
With this week will close the
Republican administration, un-
der which the country has at
tanned the greatest prosperity it
has ever known. Yet it pleases
opponents of the Republican
policy to assert that the treasury
is bankrupt, that President Cleve-
land turned over a surplus of
$2O0,00O,OOO, and that Presi-
dent Harrison has spent it. A
few words on this matter will
not be unwelcome to those who
wish to know the truth or care
for justice.
The gold balance i'll the treas
ury, exclusive of certificates out
standing, was $196,O0O,O0O
March I, 1889, and has been re-
duced to about $104,0O0,00O
NJ arch l, 1898. But the new
navy, of which all Americans are
proud, and which none pretend
has been wastefully constructed,
has made the expenditures in
that department about $107,-
100000 during the past four
years, against $67,000,0O0 dur
ing the previous administration
of Mr.. Cleveland. The aggre-
gate of pensions paid during the
past four years has been about
$4,000, 900, whereas the ag-
gregate of such payments during
the previous four years under Mr..
Cleveland was about $3O6, OOO,-
600, a difference of$210,O 900, 900.
These two differences amount to

the end. And it will live as the
Republican party. Republicans
are proud Of their past, INSOFAR
ably linked, as it is with the
story of the nations successful
struggle for life, and with the
extinction of human slavery on
the American continent.
The Republican party cannot
and should not live on the record
it has made. But it can right
fully refer to the past as guar
antee of the future. 1t will CON
tinue to be the party of progress,
the party of protection and the
party of education. 1t will con-
tinue to strive for the mainte-
nance of American honor abroad
and for American industrial in
dependence at home. 1t will
continue to represent by far the
greater number of intelligent and
self respecting Americans, and to
work for the interests of the
American people against plotters
and schemerS everywhere.
The Republican party has a
mission not less important than
that of 1861; and that mission
will be as nobly and faithfully
fulfilled. 1t will then enter upon
another career ofpowcr as glori-
Gus as that which has Just been
brought to a temporary close.
In the meantime it is

THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.

The Republican party has gone
out of power, but the party is as
strong as ever, 1t has merely
lost for time the support of a
large vote that naturally belongs
to it, that has usually been in al
lance with it, and that will
come back to it as surely as sun
rise follows midnight and spring
follows winter, These voters
want to know what unrestricted
Democratic government means.
The whole country knew once,
to its cost; but that was a long
while ago, Soon it will find out
again. The lesson will be sharp
but wholesome.
The Republican party will live
because it represents principles
that are immortal, and because
the right is certain to triumph in

S250,000.00O, much more than
double the decrease in the amount
of gold on hand. 1t may be
added that the present admins
tration has reduced the interest
bearing debt from 1914, 100000,
to $685., 900, 900, a reduction of
S259,O0O, 900. and nevertheless
under its advice a Republican
Congress has reduced taxation
very largely.
In the fiscal year 1891 the de-
crease in customs duties from the
amount paid in 1890 was but
I$1O,00O,000. But in 1892 the
decrease was over $52,O0O,0O0,
and while the custom receipts
during the past eight months
have been swelled by unprece-
denied imports, they are never
theleSs at n rate far below that
maintained during Mr.. Cleve-
lands administration, when the
customs revenue averaged $213,-
100000 yearly. The removal
of duties on sugar alone has been
a direct benefit to the people OF
more than $4,000, 900 every
year.
II is not intended to affirm
that there have been no waste.
full appropriations made by this
Congress or the last. The pres.
ent Democratic house has voted
away more money than any
other Of either party ever apprO
priatcd, but meanwhile the truth
is that the proportion of money
wastcfully voted by either party
has been relatively small. The
great increase has been i'll the
building of a navy, and in more
liberal care for those who risked
their lives to save the nation
from disruption. When the PEG
pie see the facts just as they are,
they will decide whether cxpendi
turc for these purposes shall be
stopped.
The administration has hon
orably and faithfully expended
the sum which Congress has APP
propriated, and if there be fault
to find with the appropriations
it rests with the representative
of the people. Under Presidcn
Harrison the revenues have beer
collected with great fidelity anC
economy, and there has not beer
the slightest suspicion, even il

misconduct or abuse either in tn
collection or i'll the disbursement

THE GREAT CHANGE.

At high noon, last Saturday,
the fifty second congress adj
journcd sine die, and with its adj
iournment President Harrison
vacated the executive chair for
Grover Cleveland, the first and
only President ever elected to a
second term after a four years
interval of private citizenship.
The record made by President
Harrison and the fifty second
Congress is now a matter of his
tory. They leave the country
with all its varied concerns and
industries in a most promising
and prosperous condition, and
in the years to come President
Harrison's administration will
be ranked among the ablest, the
purest and most patriotic since
the days of Washington.
Tie country turns hopefully to
the administration just inaugu-
rated. The men into whose
hands it has been committed
have been most prolific in prom
Uses. If the results promised be
realized the progress and pros,
pcrity Of the country will remain
unchanged, but that terrific IF
interposes itself, and nothing
short of absolute realization will
convince the great Republican
element of our people that tho
platform of principles upon which
Mr.. Cleveland was elected can be
safely carried into administra
ton.

though royal reception. The COM
