Tor the purpose of becoming secretary of
the treasury In the senate, she said, his
place was fixed. He Was one of the leaders
on the Democratic side There he could
push himself forward as one of the masters
OF the tariff and other economic questions.
He could have leisure for study. could do
his duty without wearing himself out men
tally and physically. If there was any
thing better in store for him at the hands
of his party, he would be just as likely to
win this from the senate floor as from the
office OF a cabinet minister.
Mrs. Carlisle spoke of the risks of serv-
Ing as secretary of the treasury. If the ad-
ministration made mistakes, the secretary
could not hope to escape his share Of the
responsibility. If he were to he unfortu-
nate enough 10 quarrel with the president,
doubtless his political career would come
to an end. If he remained in the senate,

While Secretary Carlisle and the president
are still on good terms. and Mr. Carlisle
seems to be doing very we'll in the treasury

secretary tells her what is going on, and /
when he is troubled by any matters he |
never fails to ASK her advice. She has her |
own opinions, and these are sometimes |
quite different from those entertained by |
the secretary. Inthe Hawaiian matter, for I
instance, it is gossiped about the Arlington |
hotel that Mrs. Gresham did not agree |
with her husband. and that they had sev-

about the matter, in which the woman |
